He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he waswalking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figuremoving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone woulddance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he wasreaching down to the shore, picking up something and throwing itinto the ocean. As he got closer, he called out, “Good morning! What are youdoing?’’ The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwingstarfishes(海星)in theocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?” “The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die” “But, young man, don’t you realize thatthere are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’tpossibly make a difference!” The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all beengifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision the power(力量) to shape the future. We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better. 1.One day, the wise man saw a young man _______. A. dancing along the beach B. walking with a dancer C. picking up starfish for sale D. trying to save as many starfishes as possible 2.The underlined words “something very special” refers to ________. A. the gifts from friends B. the strength of making decision C. our own starfish D. the ability to make a difference 3.From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ________. A. the wise man realized something new and important B. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfishes in the ocean. C. the young man had the ability to make a difference D. it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach 4.The writer told this story to show us _____. A. how and where we can write a good article B. everyone can do something for the future C. wise men are sometimes stupid D. young men are in fact wiser than old people Passage 2 （25-26高二上·青海西宁大通县第二中学·期中）The Road to Success Near the small town of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association(NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole. Like his father, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. Playing basketball was Stephen’s dream. He would not give up. He finally ended up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player. Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shots and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. Inspiring others to have faith in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has demonstrated that nothing is impossible. 1.What’s Stephen’s first basket? A. A new one built in the woods nearby. B. A wooden one picked up behind the house. C. A piece of plastic attached to a telephone pole. D. A second-hand basket bought by his grandfather. 2.How did Stephen Curry settle the problem that it was hard to know where the ball would go? A. By playing in a small court. B. By adjusting his own style. C. By bouncing the ball in all directions. D. By strengthening the plastic backboard. 3.How did Stephen Curry win others’ recognition? A. With the help of his grandfather. B. By joining the Golden State Warriors. C. By following in his father’s footsteps. D. With his accurate shots and continuous efforts. 4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To inform people about Stephen Curry’s basketball skills. B. To tell what Stephen Curry has achieved during his career. C. To explain why Stephen Curry was doubted by many people. D. To inspire people with Stephen Curry’s determination to succeed. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·陕西汉中十校·期中）It took five attempts and 40 years for Chinese climber Xia Boyu to step onto the roof of the world. On his first Everest attempt in 1975, Xia got frostbite and had to have his feet — and later his legs — amputated (截肢). Undeterred, Xia went back again in 2014, 2015 and 2016. On that last attempt, a snowstorm forced him to turn back less than 100 meters from the summit (顶峰). On 14 May, 2018, the 69-year-old finally realized his dream, making him the first double amputee to summit Everest from the Nepal side. “This time Mountain Everest accepted me, finally,” he said. “It’s been a dream of mine for almost 40 years.” Climbing Everest with prosthetics (假肢) adds another level of difficulty for Xia, because it is difficult to feel the ground. “Whatever you are standing on, what kind of roads you walk on, prosthetics do not give you any sensations. You have to learn to feel it day-to-day to find the feeling.” Xia had to use his body strength to maintain his balance as the prosthetics cannot be adapted to the angles of going uphill or downhill. “I have to have one-third more physical strength than normal people,” he said. But Xia almost never made it to Everest. In 2017, the Nepali government prevented double amputees, blind, and solo climbers from attempting Everest in order to reduce accidents and climbing-related deaths. But the Supreme Court overturned the decision, allowing people like Xia to get climbing permits. “I have learnt from my journey to the top that you should advance bravely no matter what severe conditions you face, and never give up on your ambition,” said Xia. “This is the reward of me never giving up.” 1.What does the underlined word “Undeterred” in the first paragraph mean? A. Restless. B. Fearless. C. Curious. D. Anxious. 2.What was a problem facing Xia during the latest climbing? A. He was caught in heavy rain. B. He tended to be lost on the way. C. He had little time for training. D. He struggled with two prosthetics. 3.Why did the Nepali government stop double amputees attempting Everest? A. For safety concerns. B. For extreme weather. C. For canceling a rule. D. For reducing the cost. 4.What can we learn about Xia? A. He is an admirable doctor. B. He regrets climbing Everest. C. He is a strong-willed man. D. He enjoys living a lonely life. 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·山西晋中介休市第一中学校·期中）I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Quetta in 1980. When I was a little boy of about ten years old, I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs. One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language. After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE, falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings. I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. After a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works, I read the term called “light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day, I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped. I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 1.What can be implied from the author’s experience in Quetta? A. He had access to plenty art resources. B. He was fond of calligraphy channels. C. He grasped scripts of many languages. D. He was willing to dig into calligraphy. 2.What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A. Visual impacts of structures. B. Remarkable urban planning. C. Mysterious building stories. D. Odd angles of architecture. 3.How did the author enhance the effects of light calligraphy? A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to originality. C. By beautifying his photos. D. By drawing in open space. 4.What is the author's role in practicing his current idea? A. A calligrapher recording meanings. B. An artist regenerating forgotten sites. C. A photographer revealing beauty. D. A historian looking for ignored areas. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·宁夏青铜峡宁朔中学·期中）More than 20 months of hard time has affected me. Many friendships have faded away because of the life choices, leaving me sad. And then, of course, I was spending too much time on social media, which never lowers the temperature. People around me had noticed these emotional changes. I even found myself shouting rudely at the grocery store cashier. I began to see I was turning into a joyless, angry person I didn’t want to be. My lack of pleasure really hit me when my family was on a road trip vacation over the summer. As I looked out of my window at the beautiful scenery I realized that, as hard as I tried, I felt nothing. After searching the Internet, I found by chance a blog post that recommended keeping a “pleasure diary”. I was attracted. I was willing to try almost anything to kick me out of my bad-tempered fear. I even happened to have an extra notebook hanging around. So, for several months now, I’ve kept track daily of all things large and small that have brought me delight, satisfaction and enjoyment. I’ve recorded feeling experiences (the smell and taste of my morning coffee), emotional increase (recovering an old friendship), and little delights, such as the surprise I felt when an insect flew across my path on a morning walk. In fact, I’ve discovered the endless source that lies in some easy activities such as listening to music, enjoying a great novel or hugging my children. “At any given time, there is good and not-so-good in our lives,” author Elizabeth told me. She said keeping a pleasure diary can be helpful “for people with anxiety or depression because it forces a broader focus from what is wrong to what is right or enjoyable”. 1.What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. Friends always left her sad. B. She never got tired of social media. C. Life choices made her busy all day. D. Social media failed to make her happy. 2.Why does the author mention her family’s road trip? A. To prove it was a boring trip. B. To stress her lack of pleasure. C. To suggest pleasure can’t be bought. D. To indicate her family affected her emotion. 3.Who made the author keep a diary? A. Her friend. B. Her family. C. A blogger. D. A teacher. 4.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To highlight the importance of friends. B. To show a common phenomenon of lacking pleasure. C. To suggest an effective way to deal with emotional matters. D. To uncover the hidden reasons for being angry and depressed. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·陕西榆林靖边中学·期中）James Watson is a great American geneticist and biophysicist. He was born on April 6 in 1928 in Chicago. As a child, he loved bird-watching with his father. He attended the University of Chicago, earning a degree in zoology in 1947. During these years his boyhood interest in bird-watching had developed into a serious love for learning genetics. Watson was given a scholarship to Indiana University where he received his doctorate in 1950. Watson then moved to Copenhagen, continuing with his research. He became interested in the DNA molecule (分子) and joined a research team at the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge with Francis Crick. Here, Watson made his famous discovery recognizing the double helix structure (双螺旋结构) of DNA. He became a professor of biology at Harvard University in 1955, a job he held until 1976. His research at Harvard zeroed in on RNA and its role in passing on genetic information, uncovering RNA’s function in gene expression. He also became the director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York in 1968, a job that he held for 35 years. Watson turned the lab into a world center for research in molecular biology. Watson fixed his research at the lab on exploring molecular biology and genetics in order to advance the understanding and ability to recognize human diseases, and other causes of human suffering. Watson got worldwide fame as the co-author of four scientific papers between 1953 and 1954 that laid down the double helix structure of DNA. This discovery won him the Nobel Prize in 1962. During the 1960s, Watson became one of the most celebrated science writers, when he published his textbook Molecular Biology of the Gene in 1965 and his best-seller The Double Helix in 1968. Watson became the unquestioned leading voice in the whole of American science. He is a good example of the scientific creativity in 20th-century science, giving rise to molecular biology and two ways it has been put to use: biotechnology and the “Human Genome Project”. 1.When did James Watson get his second degree? A. After he became a professor. B. After he moved to Copenhagen. C. When he was about 22 years old. D. When he studied in the University of Chicago. 2.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “zeroed in on”? A. Concentrated on. B. Gave up. C. Switched off. D. Lived off. 3.What can we know about James Watson? A. He only focused on DNA structure research. B. He was good at both science and writing. C. His books didn’t gain popularity. D. He never won the Nobel Prize for DNA research. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To compare different fields of science. B. To encourage readers to study genetics. C. To explain the importance of DNA double helix. D. To introduce James Watson’s life and achievements. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·陕西西安第八十五中学·期中）In the quiet of Tsinghua Garden in the 1930s, a young boy immersed himself in both mathematical equations and the teachings of Mencius. That boy, Chen-Ning Yang, would grow to redefine modern physics. His 103-year journey, which ended in October 18, 2025, blended scientific genius with unshakable devotion to science. Yang’s academic foundation was shaped in hard times. In 1937, his family endured immense hardships to reach Kunming, where he enrolled in Southwest Associated University (SWAU) in 1938. Initially gaining admission to the chemistry department at his father’s suggestion, he soon switched to physics — a decision sparked by self-study before the entrance exam. At SWAU, his peers remembered him as the top student，and later he recalled that SWAU’s curriculum surpassed America’s best universities at the time. Yang’s scientific breakthroughs would reshape humanity’s understanding of the universe. In 1957, his cooperation with Li Zhengdao overturned the long-standing principle of parity conservation in weak interactions, earning them the Nobel Prize in Physics. On the platform, Yang declared pride in both his Chinese heritage and his dedication to Western-originated modern science. Yet his achievements were not just from genius, but from untiring rigor: he kept to the motto “prefer clumsiness to trickery, simplicity to ostentation,(炫耀)” often spending years rigorously（缜密）calculating before advancing ideas. Patriotism remained the unbroken thread in his life. In 1971, Yang became the first distinguished Chinese-American scientist to visit China, leading to a wave of overseas scholars’ homecomings and sharing cutting-edge Western physics with domestic colleagues. He later established funds to sponsor nearly 100 Chinese scholars for US studies, many of whom became backbones of China’s science community. In 1999, returned to Tsinghua and there, he founded the Institute for Advanced Study, donating his salary to recruit talent. His later years fulfilled the “common journey” of serving the nation. 1.What led Yang to switch his major to physics at SWAU? A. His father’s direct request to change. B. His exceptional score in the physics entrance exam. C. His early interest in physics rather than chemistry. D. His self-study-induced interest before enrollment. 2.What message does Yang’s motto mainly convey? A. Rely on hard work rather than shortcuts in research. B. Avoid complex theories and focus on simple concepts. C. Admit ignorance rather than pretend to know everything. D. Prioritize practical applications over theoretical research. 3.Why is Yang’s 1971 visit to China considered significant? A. It secured him a teaching position at Tsinghua later. B. It inspired overseas Chinese scholars to return. C. It marked Sino-U.S. academic relations. D. It allowed him to raise funds for Chinese students. 4.What is the core quality of Chen-Ning Yang based on the passage? A. Persistence in scientific research B. Innovation in education C. Devotion to traditional culture D. Passion for public welfare Passage 2 （25-26高二上·陕西安康·期中）Marion Sheppard felt sorry for herself when she began to lose her sight in her 40s. Since childhood, Sheppard have always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?” After several months of sadness and fear, Sheppard decided to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh, no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line dancing class. After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her as one of their staff. Sheppard was excited. She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity (尊严) and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves. 1.What was Sheppard most anxious about when she began to lose her sight? A. The loss of her library job. B. The inability to dance anymore. C. The risk of being knocked down on streets. D. The image she would project to others. 2.How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick? A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it. B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity. C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool. D. She considered it special and meaningful. 3.What does the underlined word “persisted” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Gave up easily. B. Waited patiently. C. Continued trying. D. Felt disappointed 4.Which of the following can best describe Sheppard? A. Shy and quiet. B. Determined and brave. C. Humorous and patient. D. Intelligent and creative. 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高二上·宁夏银川一中·期中）In Gaithersburg, Maryland, this fall, art curator (馆长) Sandra Davis set 14 chairs on display in the Arts Barn’s professional art gallery. Each chair, handmade by a different artist, symbolized a mental health issue that the artist had personally encountered. Courtney Mohring’s chair, “Buttoned Up,” was a black, high-backed chair coated in buttons and bunched fabric that communicated discomfort. And Davis herself had a piece in the exhibition — a rainbow-colored creation titled “Color Me Manic.” For many of the artists, it was an opportunity to try a medium that they had never attempted before. The exhibition — titled “Pull Up a Chair 2.0” — was a kind of “sequel” to a similar showcase that Davis hosted in 2022, which also featured handmade chairs. At the gallery, the artists came in to talk about their art, but the night soon transformed into a deeper conversation about the feelings of anxiety, loss, and isolation that Davis and her fellow artists had experienced at the beginning of the COVID: 19 pandemic. “We had what we call an ‘artist round table,’ where each of the artists came to talk about what their inspiration was, what they were feeling when they were creating the chair, and it ended up feeling very much like a group therapy (治疗) session,” Davis said. This year, Davis wanted to reproduce that experience on a grander scale, by opening it up to the public and inviting guests to pull up a chair and talk about the art — and how it relates to their own mental health journeys. “We know the mental health conversation is top of mind,” Davis said. “We hear it in the news. We’re reading about it. We’re talking about it at school. But we haven’t really necessarily felt like it’s still a welcoming conversation.” But Davis believes we can slowly change those conversations for the better — and it starts with making space for them. 1.What does the underlined word “sequel” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Replacement. B. Follow-up. C. Edition. D. Check-up. 2.What did Davis think of the “artist round table”? A. Productive. B. Traditional. C. Tiring. D. Educational. 3.How does “Pull Up a Chair 2.0” differ from the 2022 exhibition? A. More interactive activities. B. Wider range of issues. C. Larger scale engagement. D. New themes explored. 4.What is likely to be the subject that follows the passage? A. A detailed analysis of the artistic techniques used in the “Buttoned up” chair. B. Decriptions of the public’s interactions that occurred at the exhibition. C. A scientific study on the long-term psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. D. Sandra Davis’s personal history and her career path to becoming an art curator. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·宁夏回族自治区银川市永宁中学·期中）“I'm going to fail !"My best friend cried. She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school. The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures. For example, failure can help build relationships. Once was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her. Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can 't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it. Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning. 1.What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs? A. She liked taking tests. B. She was afraid of failures. C. She often failed in study. D. She knew how to be perfect. 2.What did the author finally get from a failed cooking? A. Bad feelings. B. Worries. C. A closer friendship. D. More experience. 3.Why did the author feel excited after the running test? A. Because she could work out regularly. B. Because she received honey as a reward. C. Because she got another chance to take the test. D. Because she achieved success after many failures. 4.The author wrote this passage________. A. to show the negative effects of failures B. to point out her best friends fear of failures C. to encourage the readers to face failures bravely D. to introduce different types of failures Passage 2 （25-26高二上·宁夏回族自治区银川市永宁中学·期中）Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 1.Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A. He showed no passion for China. B. He was unwilling to make the effort. C. He avoided learning a second language. D. He avoided doing something difficult. 2.What caused the author to learn Chinese? A. His regret about starting learning late. B. Support from many friends around him. C. Eagerness to take up the challenge. D. A thirst to prove his gift for language. 3.What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Valueless. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Unacceptable. 4.What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Love breaks down difficulties. B. Hard work pays off. C. Hard work is the key to success. D. Bravery opens up a new world. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·山西·期中）Louisa May Alcott, a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later. Born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, she was the second of four daughters. Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. Both men, along with her father, were part of the Transcendental Club, a group that emphasized self-reliance and the power of the individual. Despite this rich intellectual environment, the Alcott family faced continuing financial difficulties. Determined to help, Louisa worked various jobs as a young woman, including as a teacher and domestic helper. For Louisa, writing became her creative outlet and an escape from these pressures. She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22. Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy.

At six years old, I sat cross-legged on the floor, watching my father pack his flight bag. “Try again. Don’t give up, Captain,” he said and left in a hurry, placing fresh paper beside my ill-folded attempt. For twelve years, Dad was always away on flight missions. His home visits were like seasons, unpredictable but always bringing gifts — not toys, but flight logs (日志) about storms and sunshine; not postcards, but flight maps with routes showing where his plane had traveled. These gifts filled me with wonder and a longing to fly through the skies and travel around the world like my father. At twelve, I built my first flight model. It took three months and seventeen failed attempts. The night I finished, Mom filmed me presenting it to Dad through video call. However, Dad pointed out several design issues and pushed me to enhance the design further. “Flight and engineering require great accuracy, as it’s a matter of life and death,” he said. High school became my runway. While classmates partied, I studied in the library around the clock, learning about physics and engineering. While classmates slept, I woke up early to exercise every day. Each test I passed and each plane model I built brought me closer to my dream. The sky was waiting. The acceptance letter from the Pilot Academy arrived on Dad’s retirement day. However, real challenges only just began. The pilot training was so demanding that I always wanted to quit. When I told Dad, he just said, “I survived tougher trainings — and never once thought of giving up my dream.” From that moment on, whenever I faced difficulties, a voice would remind me, “you are my father’s son.” After years’ efforts, when I finally took my seat in the cockpit (驾驶舱) as a first officer, Dad was there — not as a mentor, but as a passenger. Halfway through the journey, the captain invited him up front. Dad stood behind me, his hand resting on my shoulder as I guided the plane through a bank of clouds. “Good job, my son,” my father said. The paper plane, he realized, had climbed to the higher sky. 1.What can we learn about the author’s father’s gifts? A. They attracted the author’s interest in flight. B.

I accompanied Dad regularly for recovery. Dad progressed from wheelchair to a walker to crutches (拐杖). My role included watching patiently, ready to help when my dad’s determination wasn’t enough. We missed some social events. Dad couldn’t come to school concerts, basketball games, and other events when my friends had a strong family presence. I didn’t have the chance to run in the park and be carried on shoulders when I was tired. But as an adult I realize what I gained by watching my dad heal his body, spirit and life with determination. I learned that it was up to us to decide whether we’ d be ashamed or accept ourselves and others as complete. Mom still has a family portrait (全家福) I painted in second grade showing my father using two silver sticks as extensions (延伸) of his arms. Most of all, caregivers learn to care. They see the need to open the door for the next person even for a few seconds. They learn to see the needs of others, even when it hurts. Caregivers understand that everyone needs to contribute and have a sense of community. Recently, a participant in a program that I organized commented that I had comforting eyes.Without hesitation, I responded, “I grew up with a disabled father. Early in life, I would decide when it was time to be a child or a problem solver. ” Although I may have missed enjoying a ride on my father’s shoulders, I had a chance to develop comforting eyes and everything that goes with that, always ready to help. 1.What role did the author play with his father in a wheelchair?

This time, however, her goodbye has sparked joy in her 5-year-old daughter’s eyes as she is “shooting for the stars.” Known for broadcasting a 40-minute live lesson during her first space trip, she is very likely to draw global attention again during her second space mission. Wang was born in 1980 to a rural family in Shandong Province. “When I was young, my world was small,” Wang recalled. “My dream was much simpler: to go beyond the village and to pay back all that my parents had given me.” Her space dream started in 2003 when China sent Yang Liwei into space. “I watched the bright rocket flame on TV, and an idea flashed through my mind: China now has a male taikonaut, when will there be a female one?” Wang said. After racking up safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang became a strong candidate (候选人) for China’s first flight by a female taikonaut. However, she did not pass her final tests. Wang did not lose heart but pushed forward even harder. She always ran three laps more than others in physical courses; she volunteered to be held to the same standards as her male partners during desert survival training, and she asked to train in the pressure chamber for an extra 30 minutes each time. “You can’t catch a break simply for being a woman,” she said. Her efforts were not in vain. Wang became a crew member of the Shenzhou-10 space mission in 2013. And more notably, she earned the title of China’s first space teacher after giving a lecture to students from an orbit more than 300 km above the Earth’s surface. Liu Cixin, China’s famous sci-fi writer and Hugo Award winner, said Wang’s lesson was like a “brush,” which painted a space world for children that is different from Earth. 1.What do we know about Wang Yaping?

Passage 2 （25-26高二上·宁夏吴忠中学·期中）When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket. I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. After choosing his presents, he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face. Then a surprising thing happened.

I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.” Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.

It’s what forced Florio, 53, of Massapequa, to take part in the Town of Oyster Bay’s annual dune grass planting event on March 30 — an effort to help stabilize the beach dunes against shoreline erosion (侵蚀). Along with other volunteers, Florio had spent hours with her daughter, Kyra Florio-Marinello, 15, and her daughter’s friend Tatum Brennan, 15, planting the native plants that were intended to absorb water and prepare the sand against heavy wind. But four days later, a storm on Wednesday hit Long Island and washed the new plants away. “The latest dune planting event drew more than 150 volunteers who planted a lot across 2.7 acres of Atlantic Ocean sand dunes,” said Marta Kane, an Oyster Bay spokeswoman. “The dune grass cost the town $32,000.” The event, centered on volunteerism, drew some families whose elders were looking to share a message with a younger generation about the importance of protecting the environment. While the outcome resulted in a wave of disappointment, for some volunteers that was coupled with a sense of renewed motivation. Maria Rizzi, 70, of Massapequa, participated in the planting session with her grandson, Andrew Lepsis, 10. She said she would go back for another event with even more family members. “I’d be willing to do it again,” she said. “I’d even talk the older grand kids into coming.” While the storm swept the new plants away, Florio said Tobay Beach’s appearance aftermath serves as a powerful reminder of the need for more volunteer work on that stretch of sand. “Maybe it will inspire more people to volunteer and understand the need for us to protect our beaches,” Florio said. 1.What is the aim of the dune grass planting event? A. To protect the ocean from being polluted. B. To keep the shoreline in good shape. C. To reduce extreme weather conditions. D.

I’m from a very small town and at that time no other girls played football in my town. People said football wasn’t for women and my family shouldn’t let me play. They also said I wouldn’t make it, and that I wasn’t good enough. As a child, I didn’t really understand why people were so against me playing when I could play it well! I fought back by showing my talent (天赋) on the streets. My greatest inspiration was my mother. We came from a poor family; my mom separated from my dad when I was less than a year old and she raised four children on her own. She worked all day, had little time to spend with us, but she never gave up. I found my strength from her to keep going. Every win is important for me, from the time when I was playing in amateur (业余的) teams among the boys to the first win as part of the Brazilian national team, and now. I remember when I went back to my town in 2006 after winning the award for the best female player in the world. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a fireman’s truck and people were waving. That achievement could happen because I hadn’t given up that first moment I heard a “no”. Sport changed my life completely. It gave me the opportunity (机会) to help my family, meet other people, see other countries and experience other cultures. Sport is a tool for empowering girls, because it gives you the opportunity to do what you want and learn to respect the differences between people. For me, it’s a great honor to be a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador (亲善大使). Today, I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create opportunities so that next generation doesn’t have to go through what I did. 1.What was the author’s family’s attitude toward her playing football at first? A. They were uncertain about it. B. They were supportive of it. C. They were strongly against it. D. They thought it must be painful. 2.What happened to the author when she returned home in 2006? A. She learnt to say “no” for the first time. B. She had little time to spend with her family. C. She got a chance to play for the national team. D. She was warmly welcomed by the whole town. 3.Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Strong-willed. D. Self-centered. 4.What does the author call on girls and women to do? A. Play football just like her. B. Try their best to see the outside world. C. Trust themselves and do what they want. D.

A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association(NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole. Like his father, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. Playing basketball was Stephen’s dream. He would not give up. He finally ended up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player. Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shots and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. Inspiring others to have faith in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has demonstrated that nothing is impossible. 1.What’s Stephen’s first basket? A. A new one built in the woods nearby.

On his first Everest attempt in 1975, Xia got frostbite and had to have his feet — and later his legs — amputated (截肢). Undeterred, Xia went back again in 2014, 2015 and 2016. On that last attempt, a snowstorm forced him to turn back less than 100 meters from the summit (顶峰). On 14 May, 2018, the 69-year-old finally realized his dream, making him the first double amputee to summit Everest from the Nepal side. “This time Mountain Everest accepted me, finally,” he said. “It’s been a dream of mine for almost 40 years.” Climbing Everest with prosthetics (假肢) adds another level of difficulty for Xia, because it is difficult to feel the ground. “Whatever you are standing on, what kind of roads you walk on, prosthetics do not give you any sensations. You have to learn to feel it day-to-day to find the feeling.” Xia had to use his body strength to maintain his balance as the prosthetics cannot be adapted to the angles of going uphill or downhill. “I have to have one-third more physical strength than normal people,” he said. But Xia almost never made it to Everest. In 2017, the Nepali government prevented double amputees, blind, and solo climbers from attempting Everest in order to reduce accidents and climbing-related deaths. But the Supreme Court overturned the decision, allowing people like Xia to get climbing permits. “I have learnt from my journey to the top that you should advance bravely no matter what severe conditions you face, and never give up on your ambition,” said Xia. “This is the reward of me never giving up.” 1.What does the underlined word “Undeterred” in the first paragraph mean? A. Restless. B. Fearless. C. Curious. D. Anxious. 2.What was a problem facing Xia during the latest climbing? A. He was caught in heavy rain. B. He tended to be lost on the way. C. He had little time for training. D. He struggled with two prosthetics. 3.Why did the Nepali government stop double amputees attempting Everest? A. For safety concerns. B. For extreme weather. C. For canceling a rule. D. For reducing the cost. 4.What can we learn about Xia? A. He is an admirable doctor. B. He regrets climbing Everest. C. He is a strong-willed man. D. He enjoys living a lonely life. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. A　4.

(1975年，他首次尝试攀登珠穆朗玛峰时遭遇冻伤，不得不先后截去双脚乃至双腿。Undeterred，夏在2014年、2015年和2016年又回去攀登。)”可知，夏先后截去双脚乃至双腿，但夏并未被吓退，又再次尝试攀登。Undeterred意为“未被吓退的”，与Fearless含义相近。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Climbing Everest with prosthetics (假肢) adds another level of difficulty for Xia, because it is difficult to feel the ground. “Whatever you are standing on, what kind of roads you walk on, prosthetics do not give you any sensations. (对夏而言，使用假肢攀登珠峰增加了另一重难度，因为他难以感知地面。“无论你站在什么地方，走在什么样的路上，假肢都无法给你任何感觉。你必须通过日复一日的练习去找到那种感觉。”)”可知，夏在最近一次攀登中面临的问题是使用假肢带来的挑战。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 2017, the Nepali government prevented double amputees, blind, and solo climbers from attempting Everest in order to reduce accidents and climbing-related deaths. (2017年，尼泊尔政府为减少事故和登山相关死亡，禁止双腿截肢者、盲人和独自登山者尝试攀登珠峰。)”可知，尼泊尔政府阻止双截肢者攀登珠穆朗玛峰是出于安全考虑。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“On his first Everest attempt in 1975, Xia got frostbite and had to have his feet—and later his legs—amputated (截肢). Undeterred, Xia went back again in 2014, 2015 and 2016. (1975年，他首次尝试攀登珠穆朗玛峰时遭遇冻伤，不得不先后截去双脚乃至双腿。毫不气馁，夏在2014年、2015年和2016年又再次尝试攀登。)”及最后一段““I have learnt from my journey to the top that you should advance bravely no matter what severe conditions you face, and never give up on your ambition,” said Xia. “This is the reward of me never giving up.” (“从攀登顶峰的历程中，我学到无论面对多么严峻的条件，都要勇敢前进，永远不要放弃自己的抱负，”夏说，“这就是我永不言弃的回报。”)”可知，他是意志坚强的人。故选C。 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·山西晋中介休市第一中学校·期中）I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Quetta in 1980. When I was a little boy of about ten years old, I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs. One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language. After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE, falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings. I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. After a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works, I read the term called “light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day, I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped. I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 1.What can be implied from the author’s experience in Quetta? A. He had access to plenty art resources. B. He was fond of calligraphy channels. C. He grasped scripts of many languages. D. He was willing to dig into calligraphy. 2.What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A. Visual impacts of structures. B. Remarkable urban planning. C. Mysterious building stories. D. Odd angles of architecture. 3.How did the author enhance the effects of light calligraphy? A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to originality. C. By beautifying his photos. D. By drawing in open space. 4.What is the author's role in practicing his current idea? A. A calligrapher recording meanings. B. An artist regenerating forgotten sites. C. A photographer revealing beauty. D. A historian looking for ignored areas. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者的个人经历与艺术探索历程。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts in the Urdu language.(我全神贯注，花了好几年时间学习乌尔都语的不同书法笔迹。)”可知，作者愿意深入研究书法。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“After graduation, I came to Dubai,UAE, falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings.

Many friendships have faded away because of the life choices, leaving me sad. And then, of course, I was spending too much time on social media, which never lowers the temperature. People around me had noticed these emotional changes. I even found myself shouting rudely at the grocery store cashier. I began to see I was turning into a joyless, angry person I didn’t want to be. My lack of pleasure really hit me when my family was on a road trip vacation over the summer. As I looked out of my window at the beautiful scenery I realized that, as hard as I tried, I felt nothing. After searching the Internet, I found by chance a blog post that recommended keeping a “pleasure diary”. I was attracted. I was willing to try almost anything to kick me out of my bad-tempered fear. I even happened to have an extra notebook hanging around. So, for several months now, I’ve kept track daily of all things large and small that have brought me delight, satisfaction and enjoyment. I’ve recorded feeling experiences (the smell and taste of my morning coffee), emotional increase (recovering an old friendship), and little delights, such as the surprise I felt when an insect flew across my path on a morning walk. In fact, I’ve discovered the endless source that lies in some easy activities such as listening to music, enjoying a great novel or hugging my children. “At any given time, there is good and not-so-good in our lives,” author Elizabeth told me. She said keeping a pleasure diary can be helpful “for people with anxiety or depression because it forces a broader focus from what is wrong to what is right or enjoyable”. 1.What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. Friends always left her sad. B. She never got tired of social media. C. Life choices made her busy all day. D. Social media failed to make her happy. 2.Why does the author mention her family’s road trip? A. To prove it was a boring trip. B. To stress her lack of pleasure. C. To suggest pleasure can’t be bought. D. To indicate her family affected her emotion. 3.Who made the author keep a diary? A. Her friend. B. Her family. C. A blogger. D. A teacher. 4.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To highlight the importance of friends. B. To show a common phenomenon of lacking pleasure. C. To suggest an effective way to deal with emotional matters. D. To uncover the hidden reasons for being angry and depressed. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己因生活中的种种不如意而情绪低落，变成了一个自己不想成为的负面情绪满满的人，后来偶然发现一篇推荐写“快乐日记”的博客文章，尝试之后发现记录生活中的快乐点滴有助于改善自己的情绪状态。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Many friendships have faded away because of the life choices, leaving me sad. And then, of course, I was spending too much time on social media, which never lowers the temperature. (许多友谊因为生活选择而渐渐淡去，这让我很伤心。当然，我还在社交媒体上花费了太多时间，而这从来都没能让我的情绪有所缓和。)”可知，友谊的消逝让作者难过，社交媒体也没能让作者开心起来。故选D。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As I looked out of my window at the beautiful scenery I realized that, as hard as I tried, I felt nothing. (当我望着窗外美丽的风景时，我意识到，无论我怎么努力，我都毫无感觉。)”可知，即在欣赏美丽风景时，自己却毫无感觉，这是为了强调自己缺乏快乐这种情绪状态，所以提到家庭公路旅行的目的是突出自己缺乏快乐。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“After searching the Internet, I found by chance a blog post that recommended keeping a “pleasure diary”. I was attracted. (在上网搜索之后，我偶然发现了一篇博客文章，它推荐写“快乐日记”。)” 可知，是作者在网上偶然看到的一篇博客文章推荐写“快乐日记”，所以是一位博主促使作者开始写日记的，而不是朋友、家人或者老师。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第六段“In fact, I’ve discovered the endless source that lies in some easy activities such as listening to music, enjoying a great novel or hugging my children. (事实上，我发现一些简单的活动中蕴含着无尽的快乐源泉，比如听音乐、欣赏一部精彩的小说或者拥抱我的孩子们。)”以及最后一段““At any given time, there is good and not-so-good in our lives,” author Elizabeth told me. She said keeping a pleasure diary can be helpful “for people with anxiety or depression because it forces a broader focus from what is wrong to what is right or enjoyable”. (“在任何特定时刻，我们的生活中都有好的一面和不那么好的一面，”作家伊丽莎白告诉我。她说写快乐日记对 “患有焦虑症或抑郁症的人会有帮助，因为它能促使人们把注意力从不好的事情上转移到正确的或令人愉悦的事情上”。)”可知，作者通过写“快乐日记”来记录生活中的快乐点滴从而改善情绪的过程，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是建议一种处理情绪问题的有效方法。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·陕西榆林靖边中学·期中）James Watson is a great American geneticist and biophysicist. He was born on April 6 in 1928 in Chicago. As a child, he loved bird-watching with his father. He attended the University of Chicago, earning a degree in zoology in 1947. During these years his boyhood interest in bird-watching had developed into a serious love for learning genetics. Watson was given a scholarship to Indiana University where he received his doctorate in 1950. Watson then moved to Copenhagen, continuing with his research. He became interested in the DNA molecule (分子) and joined a research team at the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge with Francis Crick. Here, Watson made his famous discovery recognizing the double helix structure (双螺旋结构) of DNA. He became a professor of biology at Harvard University in 1955, a job he held until 1976. His research at Harvard zeroed in on RNA and its role in passing on genetic information, uncovering RNA’s function in gene expression. He also became the director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York in 1968, a job that he held for 35 years. Watson turned the lab into a world center for research in molecular biology. Watson fixed his research at the lab on exploring molecular biology and genetics in order to advance the understanding and ability to recognize human diseases, and other causes of human suffering. Watson got worldwide fame as the co-author of four scientific papers between 1953 and 1954 that laid down the double helix structure of DNA. This discovery won him the Nobel Prize in 1962. During the 1960s, Watson became one of the most celebrated science writers, when he published his textbook Molecular Biology of the Gene in 1965 and his best-seller The Double Helix in 1968. Watson became the unquestioned leading voice in the whole of American science. He is a good example of the scientific creativity in 20th-century science, giving rise to molecular biology and two ways it has been put to use: biotechnology and the “Human Genome Project”. 1.When did James Watson get his second degree? A. After he became a professor. B. After he moved to Copenhagen. C. When he was about 22 years old. D. When he studied in the University of Chicago. 2.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “zeroed in on”? A. Concentrated on. B. Gave up. C. Switched off. D. Lived off. 3.What can we know about James Watson? A. He only focused on DNA structure research. B. He was good at both science and writing. C. His books didn’t gain popularity. D. He never won the Nobel Prize for DNA research. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To compare different fields of science. B. To encourage readers to study genetics. C. To explain the importance of DNA double helix. D. To introduce James Watson’s life and achievements. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B　4.

This discovery won him the Nobel Prize in 1962.(沃森因1953年至1954年间作为四篇奠定DNA双螺旋结构的科学论文的合著者而闻名世界。这一发现使他于1962年获得诺贝尔奖。)”以及“During the 1960s, Watson became one of the most celebrated science writers, when he published his textbook Molecular Biology of the Gene in 1965 and his best-seller The Double Helix in 1968.(20世纪60年代，Watson成为最著名的科学作家之一，他于1965年出版了教科书《基因的分子生物学》，1968年出版了畅销书《双螺旋》。)”可知，他既擅长科学研究又擅长写作。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据全文内容，文章从James Watson的出生、求学经历、科学发现（DNA双螺旋结构）、获得诺贝尔奖、担任教授和实验室主任、出版著作等方面全面介绍了James Watson的生平与成就。故作者的写作目的是介绍James Watson的生平与成就。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·陕西西安第八十五中学·期中）In the quiet of Tsinghua Garden in the 1930s, a young boy immersed himself in both mathematical equations and the teachings of Mencius. That boy, Chen-Ning Yang, would grow to redefine modern physics. His 103-year journey, which ended in October 18, 2025, blended scientific genius with unshakable devotion to science. Yang’s academic foundation was shaped in hard times. In 1937, his family endured immense hardships to reach Kunming, where he enrolled in Southwest Associated University (SWAU) in 1938. Initially gaining admission to the chemistry department at his father’s suggestion, he soon switched to physics — a decision sparked by self-study before the entrance exam. At SWAU, his peers remembered him as the top student，and later he recalled that SWAU’s curriculum surpassed America’s best universities at the time. Yang’s scientific breakthroughs would reshape humanity’s understanding of the universe. In 1957, his cooperation with Li Zhengdao overturned the long-standing principle of parity conservation in weak interactions, earning them the Nobel Prize in Physics. On the platform, Yang declared pride in both his Chinese heritage and his dedication to Western-originated modern science. Yet his achievements were not just from genius, but from untiring rigor: he kept to the motto “prefer clumsiness to trickery, simplicity to ostentation,(炫耀)” often spending years rigorously（缜密）calculating before advancing ideas. Patriotism remained the unbroken thread in his life. In 1971, Yang became the first distinguished Chinese-American scientist to visit China, leading to a wave of overseas scholars’ homecomings and sharing cutting-edge Western physics with domestic colleagues. He later established funds to sponsor nearly 100 Chinese scholars for US studies, many of whom became backbones of China’s science community. In 1999, returned to Tsinghua and there, he founded the Institute for Advanced Study, donating his salary to recruit talent. His later years fulfilled the “common journey” of serving the nation. 1.What led Yang to switch his major to physics at SWAU? A. His father’s direct request to change. B. His exceptional score in the physics entrance exam. C. His early interest in physics rather than chemistry. D. His self-study-induced interest before enrollment. 2.What message does Yang’s motto mainly convey? A. Rely on hard work rather than shortcuts in research. B. Avoid complex theories and focus on simple concepts. C. Admit ignorance rather than pretend to know everything. D. Prioritize practical applications over theoretical research. 3.Why is Yang’s 1971 visit to China considered significant? A. It secured him a teaching position at Tsinghua later. B. It inspired overseas Chinese scholars to return. C. It marked Sino-U.S. academic relations. D. It allowed him to raise funds for Chinese students. 4.What is the core quality of Chen-Ning Yang based on the passage? A. Persistence in scientific research B. Innovation in education C. Devotion to traditional culture D. Passion for public welfare 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了杨振宁的求学经历、科学成就及其爱国情怀。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Initially gaining admission to the chemistry department at his father’s suggestion, he soon switched to physics — a decision sparked by self-study before the entrance exam.(起初，在父亲的建议下，他进入了化学系，但很快便转到了物理系——这一决定源于入学考试前的自学)”可知，是杨振宁在入学前的自学激发了他对物理的兴趣，导致他转专业。故选D。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet his achievements were not just from genius, but from untiring rigor: he kept to the motto “prefer clumsiness to trickery, simplicity to ostentation,(炫耀)” often spending years rigorously (缜密) calculating before advancing ideas.(然而，他的成就并非仅凭天赋，而是源于不懈的严谨：他坚守“宁拙勿巧，宁朴勿华”的座右铭，在提出新思想之前，往往要经过多年的缜密计算)”可知，杨振宁的座右铭主要传达的是在研究中要依靠努力而不是捷径。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 1971, Yang became the first distinguished Chinese-American scientist to visit China, leading to a wave of overseas scholars’ homecomings and sharing cutting-edge Western physics with domestic colleagues.(1971年，杨振宁成为首位访问中国的杰出美籍华裔科学家，引领了一波海外学者归国潮，并与国内同行分享了西方前沿物理学知识)”可知，1971年，杨振宁的访问之所以意义重大，是因为它激发了海外中国学者回国。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段中“His 103-year journey, which ended in October 18, 2025, blended scientific genius with unshakable devotion to science.(他长达103年的旅程于2025年10月18日画上句号，这一旅程融合了科学天赋与对科学的坚定执着)”和第四段中“Patriotism remained the unbroken thread in his life.(爱国主义始终是他一生中坚定不移的信念。他对科学有着坚定的执着)”可知，文章主要讲述了杨振宁在科学研究上的坚持和卓越成就，以及他对中国科学发展的贡献和爱国情怀。因此，最能够概括杨振宁核心品质的是他在科学研究上的坚持。故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·陕西安康·期中）Marion Sheppard felt sorry for herself when she began to lose her sight in her 40s. Since childhood, Sheppard have always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?” After several months of sadness and fear, Sheppard decided to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh, no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line dancing class. After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her as one of their staff. Sheppard was excited. She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity (尊严) and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves. 1.What was Sheppard most anxious about when she began to lose her sight? A. The loss of her library job. B. The inability to dance anymore. C. The risk of being knocked down on streets. D. The image she would project to others. 2.How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick? A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it. B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity. C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool. D. She considered it special and meaningful. 3.What does the underlined word “persisted” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Gave up easily. B. Waited patiently. C. Continued trying. D. Felt disappointed 4.Which of the following can best describe Sheppard? A. Shy and quiet. B. Determined and brave. C. Humorous and patient. D. Intelligent and creative. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了失明后仍坚持跳舞的Marion Sheppard，克服困难教授视力障碍者排舞，并传递尊严与独立的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?”(事实上，她更多是在意自己在他人眼中的样子，总在想：“如果人们用异样的眼光看我、用不同的方式对待我怎么办？”)”可知，Sheppard失明初期最担心的是自己在他人眼中的形象，害怕人们用异样的眼光看待她、以不同方式对待她。故选D。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one.(她买了一根手杖，给它取名为Tyreek——这是她一直计划着，如果有儿子就会用的名字。)”可知，Sheppard给手杖取名为Tyreek，而这个名字是她一直计划给未来儿子取的名字，说明她将手杖视为特殊且有意义的存在。故选D。 (3)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis.(之后，她向Visions组织运营的曼哈顿社区中心申请授课，却遭到拒绝，对方称这对学生来说太危险了。但她……，很快说服了管理人员让她以志愿者的身份教授排舞。)”可知，Sheppard向社区中心申请授课时遭到拒绝，但她并未放弃，最终说服管理人员同意她以志愿者身份授课，因此“persisted 应表示“持续尝试、坚持不懈”的含义。选项C“Continued trying.(继续尝试)”符合“被拒绝后仍不放弃，最终达成目标”的语境。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“After several months of sadness and fear, Sheppard decided to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out.(在几个月的悲伤与恐惧后，Sheppard决定不再停滞不前。尽管过程艰难，她还是强迫自己走出家门。)”可知，Sheppard失明后未被悲伤和恐惧击垮，反而强迫自己走出家门，体现了她的勇敢；再根据第三段“And she kept moving and dancing.(她一直在移动和跳舞。)”以及第四段“After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis.(之后，她向Visions组织运营的曼哈顿社区中心申请授课，却遭到拒绝，对方称这对学生来说太危险了。但她……，很快说服了管理人员让她以志愿者的身份教授排舞。)”可知，Sheppard申请授课遭拒后仍不放弃，最终说服管理人员，体现了她的坚定。故选B。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高二上·宁夏银川一中·期中）In Gaithersburg, Maryland, this fall, art curator (馆长) Sandra Davis set 14 chairs on display in the Arts Barn’s professional art gallery. Each chair, handmade by a different artist, symbolized a mental health issue that the artist had personally encountered. Courtney Mohring’s chair, “Buttoned Up,” was a black, high-backed chair coated in buttons and bunched fabric that communicated discomfort. And Davis herself had a piece in the exhibition — a rainbow-colored creation titled “Color Me Manic.” For many of the artists, it was an opportunity to try a medium that they had never attempted before. The exhibition — titled “Pull Up a Chair 2.0” — was a kind of “sequel” to a similar showcase that Davis hosted in 2022, which also featured handmade chairs. At the gallery, the artists came in to talk about their art, but the night soon transformed into a deeper conversation about the feelings of anxiety, loss, and isolation that Davis and her fellow artists had experienced at the beginning of the COVID: 19 pandemic. “We had what we call an ‘artist round table,’ where each of the artists came to talk about what their inspiration was, what they were feeling when they were creating the chair, and it ended up feeling very much like a group therapy (治疗) session,” Davis said. This year, Davis wanted to reproduce that experience on a grander scale, by opening it up to the public and inviting guests to pull up a chair and talk about the art — and how it relates to their own mental health journeys. “We know the mental health conversation is top of mind,” Davis said. “We hear it in the news. We’re reading about it. We’re talking about it at school. But we haven’t really necessarily felt like it’s still a welcoming conversation.” But Davis believes we can slowly change those conversations for the better — and it starts with making space for them. 1.What does the underlined word “sequel” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Replacement. B. Follow-up. C. Edition. D. Check-up. 2.What did Davis think of the “artist round table”? A. Productive. B. Traditional. C. Tiring. D. Educational. 3.How does “Pull Up a Chair 2.0” differ from the 2022 exhibition? A. More interactive activities. B. Wider range of issues. C. Larger scale engagement. D. New themes explored. 4.What is likely to be the subject that follows the passage? A. A detailed analysis of the artistic techniques used in the “Buttoned up” chair. B.

She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school. The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures. For example, failure can help build relationships. Once was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her. Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can 't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it. Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning. 1.What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs? A. She liked taking tests. B. She was afraid of failures. C. She often failed in study. D. She knew how to be perfect. 2.What did the author finally get from a failed cooking? A. Bad feelings. B. Worries. C. A closer friendship. D. More experience. 3.Why did the author feel excited after the running test? A. Because she could work out regularly. B. Because she received honey as a reward. C. Because she got another chance to take the test. D. Because she achieved success after many failures. 4.The author wrote this passage________. A. to show the negative effects of failures B. to point out her best friends fear of failures C. to encourage the readers to face failures bravely D. to introduce different types of failures 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. D　4. C 【解析】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过自己的经历论述了失败的好处。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段的“I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist.（我只是觉得她无法接受失败因为她过着完美主义者的生活。）”可知，作者最好的朋友害怕失败，故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段的“She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.（比起盘子，她更在乎我们的友谊。那天，我明白了失败并不总是会让人们讨厌你。事实上，在她对我说了这些话之后，我和她更亲近了。 ）”可知，作者最终从一次失败的烹饪中得到了更亲密的友谊，故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school....A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! （我从来不擅长跑步，所以每次都失败，直到三年级......然而，几天后，老师又给了我和其他同学一次跑步的机会，我终于通过了!）”可知，作者在跑步测试后很兴奋是因为她在多次失败后取得了成功。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning.（现在很明显，失败可以给我们很好的教训。这不是结束，它可能是一个开始。）”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励读者勇敢面对失败，故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·宁夏回族自治区银川市永宁中学·期中）Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 1.Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A. He showed no passion for China. B. He was unwilling to make the effort. C. He avoided learning a second language. D. He avoided doing something difficult. 2.What caused the author to learn Chinese? A. His regret about starting learning late. B. Support from many friends around him. C. Eagerness to take up the challenge. D. A thirst to prove his gift for language. 3.What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Valueless. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Unacceptable. 4.What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Love breaks down difficulties. B. Hard work pays off. C. Hard work is the key to success. D. Bravery opens up a new world. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。作者一开始到中国时因为惧怕困难而不想学习中文，但是在中国一年后作者决定接受这个挑战，在认真学习后，作者发现学习中文不仅对其日常生活有帮助，而且加深了自己对这个迷人国家的文化理解。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，作者2017年到中国时不学中文是因为他逃避做困难的事情。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.(考虑到这些因素和对新挑战的渴望，我决定开始我的语言之旅，我唯一的遗憾是我没有早点开始。)”可知，对新挑战的渴望促使作者开始学习中文。故选C。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第五段第一句中的“as I once thought(像我原本以为的)”和第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，此处是指学习中文并不像“我”原本以为的那样难，所以insurmountable意为“困难的”。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith.(学习中文不仅对我的日常生活有帮助，而且加深了我对这个迷人国家的文化理解。所以，我要对我所有的非中国朋友说，接受挑战，大胆地迈出信念的一步。)”可知，从作者的经历中可以了解到勇敢接受挑战会打开新世界的大门。故选D。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·山西·期中）Louisa May Alcott, a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later. Born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, she was the second of four daughters. Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. Both men, along with her father, were part of the Transcendental Club, a group that emphasized self-reliance and the power of the individual. Despite this rich intellectual environment, the Alcott family faced continuing financial difficulties. Determined to help, Louisa worked various jobs as a young woman, including as a teacher and domestic helper. For Louisa, writing became her creative outlet and an escape from these pressures. She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22. Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The book is semi-autobiographical, drawing heavily from Louisa’s own childhood and young adulthood. The central character, Jo March, mirrors Louisa herself as an independent thinker and writer. The novel’s extraordinary popularity has led to translations into more than 50 languages. Louisa continued the story of the March family with Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886) , alongside numerous other novels and children’s stories throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Following a Massachusetts law in 1879 that allowed women to vote in local elections, she became the first woman to register to vote in Concord and actively encouraged other women to do the same. Louisa May Alcott died on March 6, 1888. Through her timeless body of work, particularly Little Women, she has left an incredible mark on American literature. 1.What does the underlined word “chronicle” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Imagine. B. Judge. C. Record. D. Decorate. 2.Why does the author mention Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau? A. To list famous 19th-century writers. B. To recommend the Transcendental Club. C. To explain Louisa’s father’s social circle. D. To introduce Louisa’s educational background. 3.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Louisa’s family life. B. Louisa’s literary career. C. The success of Little Women. D. The influence of Hospital Sketches. 4.What can we infer about Louisa from the text? A. She valued women’s rights. B. Little Men was her first work. C. Her mother was a philosopher. D. She lived in Pennsylvania all her life. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍19世纪美国著名作家路易莎·梅·奥尔科特的生平、教育背景、文学成就及对女性权利的关注。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Louisa May Alcott, a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later.(19世纪美国著名作家路易莎·梅·奥尔科特将写作既视为一种逃避方式，也作为……周遭世界的手段——她会写下家庭日常生活的细节，比如姐妹们早餐时的笑声或父亲深夜与朋友的讨论，之后将这些瞬间融入自己的故事中。)”可知，破折号后通过列举她记录家庭日常细节并融入作品的行为，解释了“chronicle”的含义，因此该词意为“记录”。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau.(路易莎在马萨诸塞州的波士顿和康科德长大，主要由父亲教育，并师从著名作家、诗人拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生以及颇具影响力的哲学家、博物学家亨利·戴维·梭罗接受额外课程。)”可知，作者提及这两位名人是为了说明路易莎的教育背景，体现其受教于知名学者的经历。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22.

At six years old, I sat cross-legged on the floor, watching my father pack his flight bag. “Try again. Don’t give up, Captain,” he said and left in a hurry, placing fresh paper beside my ill-folded attempt. For twelve years, Dad was always away on flight missions. His home visits were like seasons, unpredictable but always bringing gifts — not toys, but flight logs (日志) about storms and sunshine; not postcards, but flight maps with routes showing where his plane had traveled. These gifts filled me with wonder and a longing to fly through the skies and travel around the world like my father. At twelve, I built my first flight model. It took three months and seventeen failed attempts. The night I finished, Mom filmed me presenting it to Dad through video call. However, Dad pointed out several design issues and pushed me to enhance the design further. “Flight and engineering require great accuracy, as it’s a matter of life and death,” he said. High school became my runway. While classmates partied, I studied in the library around the clock, learning about physics and engineering. While classmates slept, I woke up early to exercise every day. Each test I passed and each plane model I built brought me closer to my dream. The sky was waiting. The acceptance letter from the Pilot Academy arrived on Dad’s retirement day. However, real challenges only just began. The pilot training was so demanding that I always wanted to quit. When I told Dad, he just said, “I survived tougher trainings — and never once thought of giving up my dream.” From that moment on, whenever I faced difficulties, a voice would remind me, “you are my father’s son.” After years’ efforts, when I finally took my seat in the cockpit (驾驶舱) as a first officer, Dad was there — not as a mentor, but as a passenger. Halfway through the journey, the captain invited him up front. Dad stood behind me, his hand resting on my shoulder as I guided the plane through a bank of clouds. “Good job, my son,” my father said. The paper plane, he realized, had climbed to the higher sky. 1.What can we learn about the author’s father’s gifts? A. They attracted the author’s interest in flight. B. They represented the father’s great flying skills. C. They recorded the father’s expectation of the author. D. They showed the frequent contact between the father and son. 2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. The author enjoyed his colorful high school life. B. The author showed great talent in high school studies. C. The author used high school as preparation for his career. D. The author developed great friendships with his classmates. 3.Which of the following can best describe the author’s father? A. Generous and brave. B. Creative but impatient. C. Strict and determined D. Kind-hearted but impractical. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Folding Dreams: How I Designed Airplanes B. The Science of Flying: My Father’s Travel Stories C. The Cockpit Conversation: Becoming My Father’s Equal D. From Paper Planes to the Clouds: My Father’s Inspiration in Flight 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在父亲的激励与影响下，从儿时折失败的纸飞机开始，一步步追求飞行梦想，历经高中的刻苦准备、飞行员学院的挑战，最终成为飞行员的成长故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These gifts filled me with wonder and a longing to fly through the skies and travel around the world like my father.

(当同学们参加聚会时，我日夜在图书馆学习，学习物理和工程。当同学们睡觉时，我每天早起锻炼。我通过的每一次考试和建造的每一架飞机模型都让我离梦想更近了一步)”可知，作者在高中时努力学习，为成为飞行员做准备，“High school became my runway (高中成了我的跑道)”比喻作者将高中时光作为实现飞行梦想、开启职业生涯的准备阶段。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。从第三段中“However, Dad pointed out several design issues and pushed me to enhance the design further. ‘Flight and engineering require great accuracy, as it’s a matter of life and death,’ he said. (然而，爸爸指出了几个设计问题，并督促我进一步改进设计。他说：‘飞行和工程需要极高的准确性，因为这是生死攸关的事。’)” 可见父亲严格；从第五段中“I survived tougher trainings — and never once thought of giving up my dream. (我挺过了更艰苦的训练——而且从未想过放弃我的梦想)”可见父亲意志坚定。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其根据文章开篇“The first plane I ever made was a failure. (我制作的第一架飞机以失败告终)”，作者从折失败的纸飞机开启飞行梦想，及文章结尾“The paper plane, he realized, had climbed to the higher sky.

We missed some social events. Dad couldn’t come to school concerts, basketball games, and other events when my friends had a strong family presence. I didn’t have the chance to run in the park and be carried on shoulders when I was tired. But as an adult I realize what I gained by watching my dad heal his body, spirit and life with determination. I learned that it was up to us to decide whether we’ d be ashamed or accept ourselves and others as complete. Mom still has a family portrait (全家福) I painted in second grade showing my father using two silver sticks as extensions (延伸) of his arms. Most of all, caregivers learn to care. They see the need to open the door for the next person even for a few seconds. They learn to see the needs of others, even when it hurts. Caregivers understand that everyone needs to contribute and have a sense of community. Recently, a participant in a program that I organized commented that I had comforting eyes.Without hesitation, I responded, “I grew up with a disabled father. Early in life, I would decide when it was time to be a child or a problem solver. ” Although I may have missed enjoying a ride on my father’s shoulders, I had a chance to develop comforting eyes and everything that goes with that, always ready to help. 1.What role did the author play with his father in a wheelchair?

On dry mornings, when the ground breathes a sigh of relief to finally escape the endless battering from the clouds, chilling corpses line the paths to the library. It’s a graveyard of fallen earthworm soldiers. Perhaps the scarier moments, however, come in the depths of night. Huddled into your rain jacket as you prepare to run back to your only slightly warmer dormitory, you may suddenly find yourself blinded by a ring of flashlights. “FREEZE!” A voice will yell. “DON’T MOVE YOUR FEET!”. It’s probably one of the most secretive clubs on campus. Their origins? Suspicious. Their leader? Unknown. Their task? “SAVE THE WORMS!”. With their battle cry ringing through the stormy air, the members of the club will set out for their night journey. Eyes peeled, flashlights swinging, they will inch along each path until encountering a struggling earthworm. “I’ve found another one!” I’ll hear them yell. “Quick, bring the chopsticks”. You may not be able to believe your eyes as you watch each fellow student carefully use a pair of chopsticks to gently lift a drowning worm from the concrete. They spin with their chopsticks and send their recently rescued worm flying into the grass and back to dirty safety. The Wormers are very efficient. They’ll have your path cleared within half an hour, at which point the Worm Leader will gesture you forward with a humble bow. A small tip: don’t take his offered hand — it’s likely to be covered in worm juice. Honestly, at this point it’s in your best interest to close your gaping mouth and just nod amicably. 1.What is the new danger faced by students on their way to class? A. Drowning insects. B.

This time, however, her goodbye has sparked joy in her 5-year-old daughter’s eyes as she is “shooting for the stars.” Known for broadcasting a 40-minute live lesson during her first space trip, she is very likely to draw global attention again during her second space mission. Wang was born in 1980 to a rural family in Shandong Province. “When I was young, my world was small,” Wang recalled. “My dream was much simpler: to go beyond the village and to pay back all that my parents had given me.” Her space dream started in 2003 when China sent Yang Liwei into space. “I watched the bright rocket flame on TV, and an idea flashed through my mind: China now has a male taikonaut, when will there be a female one?” Wang said. After racking up safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang became a strong candidate (候选人) for China’s first flight by a female taikonaut. However, she did not pass her final tests. Wang did not lose heart but pushed forward even harder. She always ran three laps more than others in physical courses; she volunteered to be held to the same standards as her male partners during desert survival training, and she asked to train in the pressure chamber for an extra 30 minutes each time. “You can’t catch a break simply for being a woman,” she said. Her efforts were not in vain. Wang became a crew member of the Shenzhou-10 space mission in 2013. And more notably, she earned the title of China’s first space teacher after giving a lecture to students from an orbit more than 300 km above the Earth’s surface. Liu Cixin, China’s famous sci-fi writer and Hugo Award winner, said Wang’s lesson was like a “brush,” which painted a space world for children that is different from Earth. 1.What do we know about Wang Yaping? A. She is the first Chinese woman to enter space. B. She went to space just for a lecture in 2013. C. She is the first Chinese to give a lesson in space. D. She dreamed to pay back her hometown as a child. 2.How did Wang Yaping react in the face of failure? A. She was puzzled about her future for a period. B. She felt down completely under great pressure. C. She volunteered for heavier tasks than men. D. She strengthened herself through hard practice. 3.Which of the following can best describe Wang Yaping according to the text? A. Learned and generous. B. Wise and cooperative. C. Honest and ambitious. D. Determined and hard-working. 4.Why does the author mention Liu Cixin in the last paragraph? A. To compare Wang Yaping with him. B. To show his opinion on Wang’s space lesson. C. To explain how Wang became famous. D. To describe his award-winning novels. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了中国航天员王亚平的成长经历、太空梦想的起源、追梦过程中的坚持与努力，以及她作为“太空教师”取得的成就。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据原文第五段“And more notably, she earned the title of China’s first space teacher after giving a lecture to students from an orbit more than 300 km above the Earth’s surface.(更值得注意的是，她在距地球表面300多公里的轨道上为学生授课后，获得了中国首位太空教师的称号)” 可知，王亚平是中国第一位在太空授课的人，故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“Wang did not lose heart but pushed forward even harder.

It’s what forced Florio, 53, of Massapequa, to take part in the Town of Oyster Bay’s annual dune grass planting event on March 30 — an effort to help stabilize the beach dunes against shoreline erosion (侵蚀). Along with other volunteers, Florio had spent hours with her daughter, Kyra Florio-Marinello, 15, and her daughter’s friend Tatum Brennan, 15, planting the native plants that were intended to absorb water and prepare the sand against heavy wind. But four days later, a storm on Wednesday hit Long Island and washed the new plants away. “The latest dune planting event drew more than 150 volunteers who planted a lot across 2.7 acres of Atlantic Ocean sand dunes,” said Marta Kane, an Oyster Bay spokeswoman. “The dune grass cost the town $32,000.” The event, centered on volunteerism, drew some families whose elders were looking to share a message with a younger generation about the importance of protecting the environment. While the outcome resulted in a wave of disappointment, for some volunteers that was coupled with a sense of renewed motivation. Maria Rizzi, 70, of Massapequa, participated in the planting session with her grandson, Andrew Lepsis, 10. She said she would go back for another event with even more family members. “I’d be willing to do it again,” she said. “I’d even talk the older grand kids into coming.” While the storm swept the new plants away, Florio said Tobay Beach’s appearance aftermath serves as a powerful reminder of the need for more volunteer work on that stretch of sand. “Maybe it will inspire more people to volunteer and understand the need for us to protect our beaches,” Florio said. 1.What is the aim of the dune grass planting event? A. To protect the ocean from being polluted. B. To keep the shoreline in good shape. C. To reduce extreme weather conditions. D. To prevent people playing on the beach. 2.Which can best describe the dune grass planting event? A. Popular but costly. B. Traditional but complex. C. Creative and economical. D.

Great Grass Planting B. The Best of the Storm C. Spirit Never Washed Away D. Volunteers Making History Together 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文，为了防止海滩沙丘被海岸线侵蚀，Oyster Bay的志愿者开展了沙丘植草活动。虽然种植的植物在暴风雨中被摧毁，但志愿者们的意志未被摧毁，他们准备再次尝试。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“It’s what forced Florio, 53, of Massapequa, to take part in the Town of Oyster Bay’s annual dune grass planting event on March 30 — an effort to help stabilize the beach dunes against shoreline erosion (侵蚀).(这就是迫使53岁的Florio参加3月30日奥斯特湾镇一年一度的沙丘草种植活动的原因，这是为了帮助稳定海滩沙丘，防止海岸线侵蚀)”可知，沙丘植草活动旨在帮助稳定海滩沙丘，放置海岸线侵蚀，以此保持海岸线的良好的形状，故选B。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘The latest dune planting event drew more than 150 volunteers who planted a lot across 2.7 acres of Atlantic Ocean sand dunes,’ said Marta Kane, an Oyster Bay spokeswoman. ‘The dune grass cost the town $32,000.’(‘最近的沙丘种植活动吸引了150多名志愿者，他们在2.7英亩的大西洋沙丘上种植了很多东西。’Oyster Bay的女发言人Marta Kane说。‘沙丘草让小镇损失了3.2万美元。’)”对参加该活动的人数和其花费可知，沙丘植草活动受到大家的欢迎和支持，但有点费钱，故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“She said she would go back for another event with even more family members. ‘I’d be willing to do it again,’ she said. ‘I’d even talk the older grand kids into coming.’(她说她会和更多的家庭成员一起回去参加另一个活动。‘我愿意再来一次，’她说。‘我甚至会说服大一点的孙子们来。’)”可知，Maria Rizzi对沙丘植草活动充满希望，积极性很高，故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第三段中“While the outcome resulted in a wave of disappointment, for some volunteers that was coupled with a sense of renewed motivation.(虽然结果导致了一波失望，但对一些志愿者来说，这伴随着一种新的动力)”可知，为了防止海滩沙丘被海岸线侵蚀，Oyster Bay的志愿者开展了沙丘植草活动。虽然种植的植物在暴风雨中被摧毁，但志愿者们的意志未被摧毁，他们准备再次尝试。C项“从未被冲走的精神”为最佳标题，故选C。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·宁夏回族自治区石嘴山市第一中学·期中）I started playing football when I was 7 or 8 years old after my brothers had agreed to let their little sister join in their games. I’m from a very small town and at that time no other girls played football in my town. People said football wasn’t for women and my family shouldn’t let me play. They also said I wouldn’t make it, and that I wasn’t good enough. As a child, I didn’t really understand why people were so against me playing when I could play it well! I fought back by showing my talent (天赋) on the streets. My greatest inspiration was my mother. We came from a poor family; my mom separated from my dad when I was less than a year old and she raised four children on her own. She worked all day, had little time to spend with us, but she never gave up. I found my strength from her to keep going. Every win is important for me, from the time when I was playing in amateur (业余的) teams among the boys to the first win as part of the Brazilian national team, and now. I remember when I went back to my town in 2006 after winning the award for the best female player in the world. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a fireman’s truck and people were waving. That achievement could happen because I hadn’t given up that first moment I heard a “no”. Sport changed my life completely. It gave me the opportunity (机会) to help my family, meet other people, see other countries and experience other cultures. Sport is a tool for empowering girls, because it gives you the opportunity to do what you want and learn to respect the differences between people. For me, it’s a great honor to be a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador (亲善大使). Today, I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create opportunities so that next generation doesn’t have to go through what I did. 1.What was the author’s family’s attitude toward her playing football at first? A. They were uncertain about it. B. They were supportive of it. C. They were strongly against it. D. They thought it must be painful. 2.What happened to the author when she returned home in 2006? A. She learnt to say “no” for the first time. B. She had little time to spend with her family. C. She got a chance to play for the national team. D. She was warmly welcomed by the whole town. 3.Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Strong-willed. D. Self-centered. 4.What does the author call on girls and women to do? A. Play football just like her. B. Try their best to see the outside world. C. Trust themselves and do what they want. D. Value the happy hours with their families. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4.
