The day Kim accepted Phil’s proposal of marriage, the couple decided to take engagement (订婚) photos in Park City, Utah. The snowy mountains created a picturesque background, but little did they know this dreamy setting would turn into a chaotic mix of emotions. Not long into the shoot, Kim was surprised to find her engagement ring had slipped off when the photographer asked her to do a pose in which she placed her hand onto Phil’s chest. Kim remembered picking up snow and throwing it in the air minutes before. The odds were that the ring broke away from her finger then. Hearts sinking, they tracked back along their route. It was a fruitless search. They felt their blood freeze. Learning of it, the skiers nearby got involved. Hours passed and it seemed hopeless even with a metal detector. When told they would have to wait until spring to locate the ring, the couple were close to a mental collapse (崩溃). But then a blinding flash in the snow caught a skier’s eye. It was the diamond ring! Phil turned this wild adventure into something even more unforgettable. Accompanied by the cheers of kind strangers, he dropped to one knee, ring in hand, and proposed again. Kim was overcome with relief and joy. A moment of heartache turns into a life-long memory. The couple will look back on their engagement photos with laughter, tears and appreciation as they tell their story. 1.Why did the couple choose the mountains as background? A. They were engaged in the scenes. B. They thought the mountains were dreamy. C. They knew the background could adjust emotions. D.

The snowy mountains created a picturesque background, but little did they know this dreamy setting would turn into a chaotic mix of emotions.(在金接受菲尔求婚的那一天，这对情侣决定在犹他州的帕克城拍摄订婚照。白雪皑皑的山脉构成了一幅迷人的背景，但他们却不知道这个梦幻般的场景将会引发复杂多变的情绪)”可知，这对夫妇选择雪山作为背景拍照是为了纪念他们的订婚。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Not long into the shoot, Kim was surprised to find her engagement ring had slipped off when the photographer asked her to do a pose in which she placed her hand onto Phil’s chest.(拍摄刚开始不久，金就惊讶地发现自己的订婚戒指滑落了。当时摄影师让她摆个姿势，让她把手放在菲尔的胸口上)”可知，当金伸出手摆好姿势时发现戒指不见了。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“But then a blinding flash in the snow caught a skier’s eye. It was the diamond ring!(但就在这时，雪地里突然出现的一道耀眼光芒吸引了滑雪者的注意。那竟然是那枚钻戒！)”可知，戒指反射了阳光导致了戒指的发现。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But then a blinding flash in the snow caught a skier’s eye. It was the diamond ring!

Packaged slime (黏土) in a variety of colors and pleasant smells lines one wall of the living room, and, in the designated “slime room” workspace in the back, bottles of fragrance oil are arranged in rows, next to glue and an industrial-size kitchen mixer. But it’s not the amount of slime in Burks’ house that shocks people, she said. It’s that her 15-year-old daughter, Samantha Zumwalt, is in charge of their enterprise (企业). The mother-daughter team runs Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year. Samantha’s slime, offered in a rainbow of colors and a range of textures (质地), is in high demand. Since she started her business, she’s made more than 24,000 sales on Etsy. The customers are generally young — between 9 and 12 years old, Burks said, though some adults and teens buy slime, too. Some customers buy Samantha’s slime because they say playing with it is calming. Others want it because it gives them something to do with their hands. Last year, Nichole Jacklyne, a social media blogger, who reviews slime and provides DIY lessons for hundreds of thousands of followers, reviewed Samantha’s product in a video. After Jacklyne’s video, orders poured into Samantha’s shop, Burks said. However, Samantha’s mom was initially resistant to the girl’s slime ambitions. It took months for Samantha to convince her mom to buy the key materials to make slime. “I told her no for months,” Burks said. Finally, Burks gave in. She had been laid off from her job as an accountant, and the two dove into the slime business. Now, Burks is proud of Samantha for running the slime business, “I hope she can meet all of her business goals — whether that’s still running the slime enterprise, or buying another business out, or starting a new business,” she said. “Whatever her dreams are... is where I want her to be.” 1.Why does the author specifically describe Jessica Burks’ home in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the amount of slime there. B. To introduce Samantha’s slime business. C. To present how special her home is. D. To show the business opportunities of slime. 2.What do we know about Samantha’s slime from the text? A. It only wins popularity with kids. B. Social media contributes greatly to its sales. C. All adults buy it just for recreation. D. It helps Samantha get more followers on the Internet. 3.How does Jessica Burks’ attitude to Samantha’s slime business change? A. Disapproving→Supportive B. Doubtful→Objective. C. Worried→Favorable. D. Negative→Cautious. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. Playing with slime puts people at ease. B. Samantha promotes her slime online. C. Samantha’s slime business is a success. D. Jessica Burks quits to run her slime business. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了15岁女孩Samantha Zumwalt和母亲Jessica Burks一起经营黏土生意，并且取得了成功的故事。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Jessica Burks’ home is full of opportunities. Packaged slime (黏土) in a variety of colors and pleasant smells lines one wall of the living room, and, in the designated “slime room” workspace in the back, bottles of fragrance oil are arranged in rows, next to glue and an industrial-size kitchen mixer. (Jessica Burks的家中充满了各种可能。客厅的一面墙上整齐排列着包装好的、颜色各异且散发着宜人气味的黏土，而在后面那个专门的“黏土工作室”里，一排排香精油瓶子旁边放着胶水和一个工业级别的厨房搅拌器)”以及第二段中“But it’s not the amount of slime in Burks’ house that shocks people, she said. It’s that her 15-year-old daughter, Samantha Zumwalt, is in charge of their enterprise (企业). The mother-daughter team runs Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year. (但她说，让人们感到震惊的并非Burks家的黏土数量。令人震惊的是，她15岁的女儿Samantha Zumwalt是她们企业的负责人。这对母女在家经营着“Samantha黏土店”，产品的需求量帮助她们每年赚取六位数的收入)”可推知，作者在第一段详细描述Jessica Burks的家中摆满黏土材料和制作工具的场景是为了引出第二段“Samantha的黏土生意”这一核心内容。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Last year, Nichole Jacklyne, a social media blogger, who reviews slime and provides DIY lessons for hundreds of thousands of followers, reviewed Samantha’s product in a video. After Jacklyne’s video, orders poured into Samantha’s shop, Burks said. (Burks说，去年，社交媒体博主Nichole Jacklyne专门测评黏土产品，还为自己的数十万粉丝提供手工制作教程。去年，她在一个视频中测评了Samantha的产品。视频发布后，大量订单涌入了Samantha的店铺)”可知，社交媒体对Samantha的黏土销量起到了极大的推动作用。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, Samantha’s mom was initially resistant to the girl’s slime ambitions. It took months for Samantha to convince her mom to buy the key materials to make slime. “I told her no for months,” Burks said. Finally, Burks gave in. (然而，Samantha的妈妈最初对这个女孩的黏土事业持抵制态度。Samantha花了好几个月才说服妈妈购买制作黏土的关键材料。Burks说：“我拒绝了她好几个月。”最后，Burks妥协了)”以及“Now, Burks is proud of Samantha for running the slime business(现在，Burks为Samantha经营黏土生意感到骄傲)”可推知，Jessica Burks对女儿Samantha的黏土生意的态度从最初的不赞成转变为后来的支持。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“The mother-daughter team runs Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year. Samantha’s slime, offered in a rainbow of colors and a range of textures (质地), is in high demand. (这对母女在家经营着Samantha黏土店，产品的需求量帮助她们每年赚取六位数的收入。Samantha的黏土颜色丰富多彩，质地各异，需求量很大)”可知，文章主要讲述了15岁女孩Samantha Zumwalt和母亲一起经营黏土生意，并且取得了成功的故事。因此，“Samantha’s slime business is a success (Samantha的黏土生意很成功)”准确概括了文章的中心主旨。故选C项。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高二上·河北五校联合教研体·期中）A friend advised me not to choose to visit Slovakia though he hadn’t been there. Few guidebooks introduce the country. However, I decided to take a trip to Eastern Slovakia. I always search for roads that are less traveled. On the first day, I stayed in a hotel opposite a great church. Around the corner, there was a lively town center. Coffee shops were serving hot chocolate. The dumplings and snacks in the restaurants there were as delicious as those in Western Europe. I tried the delicious food there in almost every restaurant. On the second day, I traveled to Spis Castle (城堡). It’s about an hour’s drive to the northwest of Kosice. Perhaps you’ve never heard of the name, but this is one of Central Europe’s largest castles. Part of it was built in the 11th century. In the castle, I saw colorful fields, villages with red roofs and green hills. After that, I tried some local food there. And then the best part of my trip came. I drove southeast and arrived in Banska Stiavnica on the last day of my trip. It is a perfectly protected historical town. I went to a concert in a church built in the 15th century. At the town center, local people were celebrating a traditional festival. There were traditional shows about how to make dumplings. It was the most enjoyable moment of my trip. In Slovakia, you can find old towns, natural beauty, great castles and all foods at affordable prices and few tourist crowds. Maybe it’s time to rewrite the guidebooks. 1.What can we know about Slovakia from the first paragraph? A. It’s easy to be found in guidebooks. B. It’s not very popular with tourists. C. The writer decided to take a trip to the west part of it. D. The writer’s friend traveled there before. 2.What did the writer do on the first two days? A. He tried some local food. B. He saw some castles with red roofs. C. He stayed in the same hotel. D. He went to a concert. 3.Which of the following is TRUE about the best part of the writer’s trip? A. It took place on the second day of his trip. B. He attended a birthday party held in a church there. C. He could learn how to make dumplings there. D. Many foreigners were dancing when he arrived there. 4.In which part of a magazine can we most probably read the passage? A. Teenage growth. B. Family plan. C. Tour and culture. D. School education. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者不听朋友劝阻，前往斯洛伐克东部旅行，体验当地美景、美食与文化并深感其魅力的经历。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A friend advised me not to choose to visit Slovakia though he hadn’t been there. Few guidebooks introduce the country.(一位朋友虽然没去过斯洛伐克，却建议我不要选择去那里。很少有旅行指南介绍这个国家)”可知，斯洛伐克很少被旅行指南提及，也不被朋友推荐，说明它在游客中并不太受欢迎。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I tried the delicious food there in almost every restaurant.(我几乎在那里的每家餐馆都品尝了美味的食物)”和第四段中的“After that, I tried some local food there.(在那之后，我在那里品尝了一些当地食物)”可知，作者在旅行的前两天都品尝了当地美食。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“At the town center, local people were celebrating a traditional festival. There were traditional shows about how to make dumplings.(在镇中心，当地人正在庆祝一个传统节日。还有关于如何制作饺子的传统表演)”可知，作者旅行中最精彩的部分，他能看到制作饺子的传统表演，即有机会了解如何制作饺子。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“A friend advised me not to choose to visit Slovakia though he hadn’t been there. Few guidebooks introduce the country. However, I decided to take a trip to Eastern Slovakia. I always search for roads that are less traveled.(一位朋友虽未曾去过斯洛伐克，却建议我不要选择前往那里 —— 毕竟鲜有旅行指南介绍这个国家。但我还是决定前往斯洛伐克东部旅行，我向来偏爱探寻那些人迹罕至的秘境)”可知，文章主要讲述作者在斯洛伐克的旅行经历，包括当地的城镇、城堡、美食、传统节日等，核心围绕“旅行”与“文化”展开。所以短文来自报纸的旅行和文化。故选C项。 主题语境03 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高二上·河北名校联考·期中）Seeking comfort in a disorderly world, Jennie Brennan and Jacob Peter have found an unlikely source of wellbeing: quietly rescuing and helping London’s pigeons (鸽子). Pigeons in urban areas often suffer from a preventable condition known as “stringfoot”, in which litter (垃圾) such as thread, fishing line or human hair gets wrapped around their toes. Untreated, the birds can lose a toe, or even a whole foot. “There are so many problems in my life and in the lives of people I care about that I can’t really do anything about,” said Brennan, of the London Pigeon Rescue. “But what I can do is save a pigeon’s life, or their toes, or restore their abilities. That might seem like a small difference, but to that pigeon, it’s massive.” On rescues, the pair of volunteers use seeds to attract pigeons, then gently cover them with a kitchen towel before removing any tight trash with scissors. “It’s a man-made problem,” Brennan said. “I think someone needs to be responsible for helping them with the problem that we’ve created.” Brennan first began feeding pigeons in 2021 after reading they were going hungry. Over time, she began noticing injuries and sought help on Facebook from Peter, who was already rescuing birds. Since then, the two have worked together and attempted to tend to the birds three to four times a week, often responding to tips from concerned members of the public. “Liking pigeons as much as I do means that I have little friends everywhere I go. I was busy, stressed, and felt a bit sorry for myself. Then I saw a couple of pigeons pass by, and it instantly brightened my day,” Brennan said. 1.What is a main problem that urban pigeons in London often suffer from? A. A shortage of food. B. Attacks from other animals. C. Exposure to extreme weather. D. Getting caught in human-made litter. 2.How does Brennan feel about rescuing pigeons? A. It is a lifelong commitment. B. It is surprisingly easy to get into. C. It brings her a sense of purpose and joy. D. It is stressful and takes up too much time. 3.How did Brennan and Peter start working together? A. Through contact on Facebook. B. By meeting at a wildlife shelter. C. Through their friends’ introduction. D. With the help of the London Pigeon Rescue. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A. Ways to prevent stringfoot in pigeons. B. A mission to rescue London’s pigeons. C. The harm of litter to urban pigeons. D. Two volunteers’ daily life in London. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Jennie Brennan与Jacob Peter在纷乱世界中，以救助伦敦患“线足病”的鸽子为幸福源泉，二人合作救助，既帮了鸽子也慰藉了自己。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Pigeons in urban areas often suffer from a preventable condition known as “stringfoot”, in which litter such as thread, fishing line or human hair gets wrapped around their toes. (城市里的鸽子常常受到一种可预防疾病的困扰，这种病被称为“线足病”。线程、鱼线或人类头发等垃圾会缠绕在它们的脚趾上，若不及时处理，这些鸽子可能会失去一根脚趾，甚至整只脚。)”可知，城市里的鸽子经常遭受人类制造的垃圾（如线、钓鱼线或头发）缠绕脚趾的问题，即被人类制造的垃圾困住。故选D。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“That might seem like a small difference, but to that pigeon, it’s massive. (这可能看起来是微小的改变，但对那只鸽子来说，意义重大。)”且最后一段提到“Then I saw a couple of pigeons pass by, and it instantly brightened my day. ( 然后我看到几只鸽子飞过，这让我的一天顿时充满了欢乐。)”可推知，Brennan救助鸽子让她有使命感和快乐。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Over time, she began noticing injuries and sought help on Facebook from Peter, who was already rescuing birds. (随着时间的推移，她开始注意到伤口，并在Facebook上向Peter寻求帮助，Peter已经在救鸟了。)”可知，Brennan和Peter的合作始于Facebook上的联系。故选A。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕Jennie Brennan and Jacob Peter这两位志愿者救助伦敦鸽子的善举展开，详细描述了他们救助鸽子的原因、救助方式以及他们从事这项工作的意义和感受。由此可知，全文核心是“这一救助伦敦鸽子的使命”。故选B。 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河北衡水武邑中学·期中）I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember Mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 1.Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands? A. She wanted mom to read the news to her. B. She was anxious to know what had happened. C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart. D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading. 2.What was the author’s view on factual reading? A. It would help her update test-taking skills. B. It would allow much room for free thinking. C. It would provide true and objective information. D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life. 3.The author takes novel reading as a way to ________. A. explore a fantasy land B. develop a passion for leaning C. learn about the adult community D. get away from a confusing world 4.What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Magic of Reading. B. The Pleasure of Reading. C. Growing Up with Reading. D. Reading Makes a Full Man. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在阅读中成长的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself.

In these worlds I can become anyone.(然而，现在我在成长，我曾经认为如此简单的世界变得越来越复杂，我发现自己需要一种逃避的方式。通过打开一本小说，我可以摆脱负担，进入一个奇妙而神秘的世界，在那里我现在是一个新的角色。在这些世界里，我可以成为任何人)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者在阅读中成长的故事，从小时候通过阅读了解世界和长大后通过阅读远离现实的成长历程，所以“伴随着阅读成长”可以作为文章标题。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河北张家口第二中学·期中）A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience. One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished, gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying, “You don’t say! ” “You don’t say! ” I was puzzled. I thought, “Perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. Well, I’d better change the topic. ” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there? ”“Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It is magnificent. ” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it. ” Soon I was interrupted again by his order, “You don’t say! ” I couldn’t help asking. I said, “Didn’t you say you don’t say? ” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed. He explained, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘Really? ’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you haven’t learned that English idiom. ” Only then did I realize I had made a fool of myself. Since then, I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. 1.A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because ______. A. English idioms were too difficult to master B. I had no interest in English learning C. my teacher didn’t emphasize the importance D. I cared little about the teacher’s instruction 2.When I first heard “You don’t say! ”I thought ______. A. the Englishman was only interested in the Great Wall B. the Englishman was not interested in my English studies C. I had talked too much D. I had to stop talking at once 3.The underlined word “amusing” means “______”. A. terrible B. important C. interesting D. lucky 4.Which of the following is TRUE? A. The Englishman was leaving China without seeing the Great Wall. B. The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it. C. The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide. D. The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. C　4. D 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了因自己不懂英语习语的含义而闹出的笑话。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段第句“…I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again.(尽管老师一再强调英语习语的重要性，但我对英语习语却毫不在意)”可知当初作者没把老师的话当回事。因此D项“I cared little about the teacher’s instruction(我不在乎老师的教导)”符合题意。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句以及“I thought, “Perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. Well, I’d better change the topic. ”(我想，“也许这不是一个合适的话题。好吧，我最好换个话题”)”可判断出作者以为这位英国朋友对谈论学英语的话题不感兴趣。因此，当我第一次听到“You don’t say!”时，我认为B项“the Englishman was not interested in my English studies(那个英国人对我的英语学习不感兴趣)”符合题意。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据下文中的“Hearing this, the Englishman laughed.(听到这话，英国人笑了)” 以及“Only then did I realize I had made a fool of myself(那时我才意识到自己出丑了).”可推知，划线词所在句的句意为“但很快，英语习语的重要性在一次有趣的经历中显现出来”，即划线词amusing意为“搞笑(有趣)”，因此，C项“interesting(有趣的)”符合题意。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据作者和英国友人的对话“ “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there? ”“Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It is magnificent. ” (“那么，我们谈谈长城好吗？顺便问一下，你去过那里吗？“当然，如果我没看到长城就离开中国，国内的每个人都会嘲笑我。它是宏伟的。”)”可知，英国人参观了长城，认为长城值得一游。因此，以下D项“The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting. (英国人参观了长城，认为它值得一游)” 是正确的。故选D项。 主题语境01 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高二上·河北衡水中学·期中）I remember the first time I saw a skateboarder roll past me when I was 14 in the early 90s. The skater wove in and out of the schoolchildren. He moved in such a smooth and cool way. He flowed through the crowds in the same way that water finds its natural route. It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. Why walk to school when you could skate? After serious saving and a request for early birthday funds, I found myself in the skate shop and got my first skateboard. What I didn’t know then was that this first attempt was the beginning of a voyage that would never end. Information and experiences were exchanged and shared with friends. Videos of legendary professionals — Mark Gonzales, Rodney Mullen, Chris Miller — were circulated and pored over. After making a thorough study, I realized that dedication and perseverance played a great role in skateboarding. Skateboarding forever changes the way you see urban spaces. The 1960s architectural eyesores (碍眼的建筑) become a creative challenge which awaits the unusual exploration of a skater. With the streets as your playground, loyal friendships are formed. You wander like a wolf pack, hunting out new challenges and opportunities. And when you journey further into the unknown architectural skate spots around the globe, you know endless good times await. You’re a global conqueror aboard four wheels and seven layers of plywood (胶合板). There are no short cuts in the sport. As a creative culture, skateboarding is big business for sure, but the ability to flow confidently on a skateboard is no easy thing to achieve. To succeed at anything worth hard work, you need patience and perseverance — skateboarding is no different. I’m now 36, and, as I continue to age, my adventures as a skateboarder will go on. While tricks come and go for the most part, it’s the feeling of smoothly moving through time and space that inspires a skateboarder on. Skateboarding is an extension of play and of that, I shall never tire. 1.Why did the author set foot on a skateboard at first? A. Because he got a skateboard as a birthday gift. B. Because he was interested in the culture of skateboarding. C. Because he was impressed by a stranger’s skateboarding skills. D. Because he wanted a unique means of transportation to go to school, 2.What does the underlined phrase “pored over” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Warmly welcomed. B. Highly praised. C. Fully expected. D. Carefully studied. 3.What are the most important factors in having extraordinary skateboard skills according to the text? A. Confidence and courage. B. Devotion and continuous effort. C. Information and experience. D. Talent and social skills. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why I Love Skateboarding B. How I Learnt Skateboarding C. Who Inspired Me to Skateboard D. What I Learn from Skateboarding 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者学习滑板的经历和滑板给作者带来的影响。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“I remember the first time I saw a skateboarder roll past me when I was 14 in the early 90s. The skater wove in and out of the schoolchildren. He moved in such a smooth and cool way. He flowed through the crowds in the same way that water finds its natural route. It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen.(我记得我第一次看到一个滑板手从我身边滚过，那是在90年代初，我14岁。溜冰者在学童之间穿梭。他的动作是那么的平稳和冷静。他在人群中穿行，就像水流找到自然的路径一样。这是我见过最酷的东西。)”可知，作者最初开始学滑板是因为他被一个陌生人的滑板技巧打动了。故选C。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段“After making a thorough study(在深入研究之后)”可知，作者是研究了那些专业人士的视频，pored over的意思是“仔细研究”，和D选项“Carefully studied”意思相近，故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“After making a thorough study, I realized that dedication and perseverance played a great role in skateboarding.(在深入研究之后，我意识到专注和毅力在滑板运动中起着非常重要的作用。)”可知，拥有非凡的滑板技能最重要的因素是专心和坚持努力，即devotion和continuous effort，故选B。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Skateboarding forever changes the way you see urban spaces.(滑板永远改变了你对城市空间的看法。)”和倒数第二段“To succeed at anything worth hard work, you need patience and perseverance — skateboarding is no different.(要想在任何值得努力的事情上取得成功，你都需要耐心和毅力——玩滑板也不例外。)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者学习滑板的经历和滑板给作者带来的影响，因此最恰当的题目是D选项“What I Learn from Skateboarding(我从滑板中学到了什么)”。故选D。 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·河北张家口第二中学·期中）As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments. Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy (敌人)” would not discover me. Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight. Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one. One of the processes (过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life. 1.The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child. A. one B. two C. three D. none 2.When she went to some other places, she would _________. A. walk away without others B. take a bus by herself C. follow others closely D. make sure not to take a wrong bus 3.Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child? A. She was usually popular among people. B. She was always the leader of the others. C. She always got poor grades. D. She was not at all liked by others. 4.The underlined word “overcome” in the last paragraph means “_________” in Chinese. A. 接受 B. 忍受 C. 信服 D. 克服 【答案】1. C　2. C　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者小时候很怕黑、很怕走丢和很怕不被人接受，但随着慢慢长大，恐惧随着年龄的增长慢慢消失，慢慢被克服，将来的生活也会变得更加美好。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一句“As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost.(作为一个孩子，我真的很害怕黑暗和迷路)”可知，作者从小就害怕两种东西，黑暗和迷路；再根据第四段第一句“Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others.(也许我小时候最害怕的事情之一就是不被别人喜欢或接受)”可知，最害怕的事情之一是不被喜欢或不被他人接受，故是三种恐惧，故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.(我怕我上错了车，被带到别的陌生的地方去。在学校或家人去公园或博物馆的旅行中，我不会让领路人离开我的视线)”可知，在陌生的地方作者很怕走丢或者被带到陌生的地方去，所以会紧紧地跟随着旁边的人，故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.(那时，受欢迎对我来说非常重要，害怕不受欢迎是一个严重的问题)”可推知，小时候受欢迎对作者来说很重要，所以她在人群中很受欢迎，故选A。 (4)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据最后一段划线词后文“Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.(了解小时候让我们害怕的事情可以帮助我们在以后的生活中获得更大的成功)”可知，随着人的成长，小时候的恐惧慢慢被克服，overcome意为“克服”。故选D。 主题语境03 人与自然-环境 （25-26高二上·河北武强中学·期中）In the summer of 2015, Jenny, a young environmental enthusiast, traveled to the coast of California with her family to enjoy a relaxing beach vacation. She was excited to spend time by the ocean, swimming and basking in the sun. However, as she walked along the shore, she was astonished to see piles of plastic bottles, broken fishing nets and discarded wrappers along the sand. The once beautiful beach was now littered with trash, and this made Jenny’s heart sink. Jenny had always cared about the environment, but seeing the pollution up close made her realize just how serious the problem had become. It was not only ruining her vacation but also endangering the marine life she loved. She thought of the turtles that might mistake plastic for food, or the seabirds that could get trapped in the nets. She knew she had to do something about it. After returning home, Jenny decided to take action. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups every weekend, picking up trash and raising awareness about the dangers of ocean pollution. She encouraged her friends, family and classmates to join her. And soon, a small group of dedicated volunteers formed. They organized monthly cleanups and started educating the community about reducing plastic waste. But Jenny didn’t stop there. Realizing that the problem was far too big for just a small group to handle, she created a non-profit organization called Ocean’s Hope. The organization’s mission was to raise awareness about plastic pollution, organize global beach cleanups and collaborate with businesses to reduce plastic packaging. Jenny’s passion for the ocean grew stronger, and she worked tirelessly to inspire others. By 2020, Ocean’s Hope had become a global movement. Volunteers from all over the world participated in cleanups, and companies began adopting more sustainable practices. Jenny’s dream of a cleaner, safer ocean was becoming a reality. 1.What first made Jenny realize the seriousness of ocean pollution? A. A lecture at her school. B. Seeing piles of plastic and trash on a beach. C. A news report about endangered turtles. D. A documentary about marine life. 2.Which action did Jenny take immediately after her vacation? A.

The once beautiful beach was now littered with trash, and this made Jenny’s heart sink. (然而，当她沿着海岸行走时，惊讶地发现沙滩上堆满了塑料瓶、破旧的渔网和丢弃的包装纸。这个曾经美丽的海滩现在到处都是垃圾，这让珍妮的心情沉重起来。)”以及第二段中的“Jenny had always cared about the environment, but seeing the pollution up close made her realize just how serious the problem had become. (珍妮一直很关心环境，但近距离看到污染，让她意识到问题已经变得多么严重。)”可知，是在海滩上看到成堆的塑料和垃圾，让珍妮首次意识到海洋污染的严重性。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After returning home, Jenny decided to take action. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups every weekend, picking up trash and raising awareness about the dangers of ocean pollution.

Packaged slime (黏土) in a variety of colors and pleasant smells lines one wall of the living room, and, in the designated “slime room” workspace in the back, bottles of fragrance oil are arranged in rows, next to glue and an industrial-size kitchen mixer. But it’s not the amount of slime in Burks’ house that shocks people, she said. It’s that her 15-year-old daughter, Samantha Zumwalt, is in charge of their enterprise (企业). The mother-daughter team runs Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year. Samantha’s slime, offered in a rainbow of colors and a range of textures (质地), is in high demand. Since she started her business, she’s made more than 24,000 sales on Etsy. The customers are generally young — between 9 and 12 years old, Burks said, though some adults and teens buy slime, too. Some customers buy Samantha’s slime because they say playing with it is calming. Others want it because it gives them something to do with their hands. Last year, Nichole Jacklyne, a social media blogger, who reviews slime and provides DIY lessons for hundreds of thousands of followers, reviewed Samantha’s product in a video. After Jacklyne’s video, orders poured into Samantha’s shop, Burks said. However, Samantha’s mom was initially resistant to the girl’s slime ambitions. It took months for Samantha to convince her mom to buy the key materials to make slime. “I told her no for months,” Burks said. Finally, Burks gave in. She had been laid off from her job as an accountant, and the two dove into the slime business. Now, Burks is proud of Samantha for running the slime business, “I hope she can meet all of her business goals — whether that’s still running the slime enterprise, or buying another business out, or starting a new business,” she said. “Whatever her dreams are... is where I want her to be.” 1.Why does the author specifically describe Jessica Burks’ home in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the amount of slime there. B. To introduce Samantha’s slime business. C. To present how special her home is. D. To show the business opportunities of slime. 2.What do we know about Samantha’s slime from the text? A. It only wins popularity with kids. B. Social media contributes greatly to its sales. C. All adults buy it just for recreation. D. It helps Samantha get more followers on the Internet. 3.How does Jessica Burks’ attitude to Samantha’s slime business change? A. Disapproving→Supportive B. Doubtful→Objective. C. Worried→Favorable. D. Negative→Cautious. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. Playing with slime puts people at ease. B. Samantha promotes her slime online. C. Samantha’s slime business is a success. D. Jessica Burks quits to run her slime business. 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高二上·河北五校联合教研体·期中）A friend advised me not to choose to visit Slovakia though he hadn’t been there. Few guidebooks introduce the country. However, I decided to take a trip to Eastern Slovakia. I always search for roads that are less traveled. On the first day, I stayed in a hotel opposite a great church. Around the corner, there was a lively town center. Coffee shops were serving hot chocolate. The dumplings and snacks in the restaurants there were as delicious as those in Western Europe. I tried the delicious food there in almost every restaurant. On the second day, I traveled to Spis Castle (城堡). It’s about an hour’s drive to the northwest of Kosice. Perhaps you’ve never heard of the name, but this is one of Central Europe’s largest castles. Part of it was built in the 11th century. In the castle, I saw colorful fields, villages with red roofs and green hills. After that, I tried some local food there. And then the best part of my trip came. I drove southeast and arrived in Banska Stiavnica on the last day of my trip. It is a perfectly protected historical town. I went to a concert in a church built in the 15th century. At the town center, local people were celebrating a traditional festival. There were traditional shows about how to make dumplings.

Pigeons in urban areas often suffer from a preventable condition known as “stringfoot”, in which litter (垃圾) such as thread, fishing line or human hair gets wrapped around their toes. Untreated, the birds can lose a toe, or even a whole foot. “There are so many problems in my life and in the lives of people I care about that I can’t really do anything about,” said Brennan, of the London Pigeon Rescue. “But what I can do is save a pigeon’s life, or their toes, or restore their abilities. That might seem like a small difference, but to that pigeon, it’s massive.” On rescues, the pair of volunteers use seeds to attract pigeons, then gently cover them with a kitchen towel before removing any tight trash with scissors. “It’s a man-made problem,” Brennan said. “I think someone needs to be responsible for helping them with the problem that we’ve created.” Brennan first began feeding pigeons in 2021 after reading they were going hungry. Over time, she began noticing injuries and sought help on Facebook from Peter, who was already rescuing birds. Since then, the two have worked together and attempted to tend to the birds three to four times a week, often responding to tips from concerned members of the public. “Liking pigeons as much as I do means that I have little friends everywhere I go. I was busy, stressed, and felt a bit sorry for myself. Then I saw a couple of pigeons pass by, and it instantly brightened my day,” Brennan said. 1.What is a main problem that urban pigeons in London often suffer from? A. A shortage of food. B. Attacks from other animals. C. Exposure to extreme weather. D. Getting caught in human-made litter. 2.How does Brennan feel about rescuing pigeons? A. It is a lifelong commitment. B. It is surprisingly easy to get into. C. It brings her a sense of purpose and joy. D. It is stressful and takes up too much time. 3.How did Brennan and Peter start working together? A. Through contact on Facebook. B. By meeting at a wildlife shelter. C. Through their friends’ introduction. D. With the help of the London Pigeon Rescue. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A. Ways to prevent stringfoot in pigeons. B. A mission to rescue London’s pigeons. C. The harm of litter to urban pigeons. D. Two volunteers’ daily life in London. 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河北衡水武邑中学·期中）I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember Mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 1.Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands? A. She wanted mom to read the news to her. B. She was anxious to know what had happened. C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart. D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading. 2.What was the author’s view on factual reading? A. It would help her update test-taking skills. B. It would allow much room for free thinking. C. It would provide true and objective information. D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life. 3.The author takes novel reading as a way to ________. A. explore a fantasy land B. develop a passion for leaning C. learn about the adult community D. get away from a confusing world 4.What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Magic of Reading. B. The Pleasure of Reading. C. Growing Up with Reading. D. Reading Makes a Full Man. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河北张家口第二中学·期中）A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience. One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished, gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying, “You don’t say! ” “You don’t say! ” I was puzzled. I thought, “Perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. Well, I’d better change the topic. ” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there? ”“Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It is magnificent. ” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it. ” Soon I was interrupted again by his order, “You don’t say! ” I couldn’t help asking. I said, “Didn’t you say you don’t say? ” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed. He explained, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘Really? ’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you haven’t learned that English idiom. ” Only then did I realize I had made a fool of myself. Since then, I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. 1.A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because ______. A. English idioms were too difficult to master B.

The skater wove in and out of the schoolchildren. He moved in such a smooth and cool way. He flowed through the crowds in the same way that water finds its natural route. It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. Why walk to school when you could skate? After serious saving and a request for early birthday funds, I found myself in the skate shop and got my first skateboard. What I didn’t know then was that this first attempt was the beginning of a voyage that would never end. Information and experiences were exchanged and shared with friends. Videos of legendary professionals — Mark Gonzales, Rodney Mullen, Chris Miller — were circulated and pored over. After making a thorough study, I realized that dedication and perseverance played a great role in skateboarding. Skateboarding forever changes the way you see urban spaces. The 1960s architectural eyesores (碍眼的建筑) become a creative challenge which awaits the unusual exploration of a skater. With the streets as your playground, loyal friendships are formed. You wander like a wolf pack, hunting out new challenges and opportunities. And when you journey further into the unknown architectural skate spots around the globe, you know endless good times await. You’re a global conqueror aboard four wheels and seven layers of plywood (胶合板). There are no short cuts in the sport. As a creative culture, skateboarding is big business for sure, but the ability to flow confidently on a skateboard is no easy thing to achieve. To succeed at anything worth hard work, you need patience and perseverance — skateboarding is no different. I’m now 36, and, as I continue to age, my adventures as a skateboarder will go on. While tricks come and go for the most part, it’s the feeling of smoothly moving through time and space that inspires a skateboarder on. Skateboarding is an extension of play and of that, I shall never tire. 1.Why did the author set foot on a skateboard at first? A. Because he got a skateboard as a birthday gift. B. Because he was interested in the culture of skateboarding. C. Because he was impressed by a stranger’s skateboarding skills. D. Because he wanted a unique means of transportation to go to school, 2.What does the underlined phrase “pored over” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Warmly welcomed. B. Highly praised. C. Fully expected. D. Carefully studied. 3.What are the most important factors in having extraordinary skateboard skills according to the text? A. Confidence and courage. B. Devotion and continuous effort. C. Information and experience. D. Talent and social skills. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why I Love Skateboarding B. How I Learnt Skateboarding C. Who Inspired Me to Skateboard D. What I Learn from Skateboarding 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·河北张家口第二中学·期中）As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments. Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy (敌人)” would not discover me. Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight. Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one. One of the processes (过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life. 1.The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child. A. one B. two C. three D. none 2.When she went to some other places, she would _________.

A. 接受 B. 忍受 C. 信服 D. 克服 主题语境03 人与自然-环境 （25-26高二上·河北武强中学·期中）In the summer of 2015, Jenny, a young environmental enthusiast, traveled to the coast of California with her family to enjoy a relaxing beach vacation. She was excited to spend time by the ocean, swimming and basking in the sun. However, as she walked along the shore, she was astonished to see piles of plastic bottles, broken fishing nets and discarded wrappers along the sand. The once beautiful beach was now littered with trash, and this made Jenny’s heart sink. Jenny had always cared about the environment, but seeing the pollution up close made her realize just how serious the problem had become. It was not only ruining her vacation but also endangering the marine life she loved. She thought of the turtles that might mistake plastic for food, or the seabirds that could get trapped in the nets. She knew she had to do something about it. After returning home, Jenny decided to take action. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups every weekend, picking up trash and raising awareness about the dangers of ocean pollution. She encouraged her friends, family and classmates to join her. And soon, a small group of dedicated volunteers formed. They organized monthly cleanups and started educating the community about reducing plastic waste. But Jenny didn’t stop there. Realizing that the problem was far too big for just a small group to handle, she created a non-profit organization called Ocean’s Hope. The organization’s mission was to raise awareness about plastic pollution, organize global beach cleanups and collaborate with businesses to reduce plastic packaging. Jenny’s passion for the ocean grew stronger, and she worked tirelessly to inspire others. By 2020, Ocean’s Hope had become a global movement. Volunteers from all over the world participated in cleanups, and companies began adopting more sustainable practices. Jenny’s dream of a cleaner, safer ocean was becoming a reality. 1.What first made Jenny realize the seriousness of ocean pollution? A. A lecture at her school. B. Seeing piles of plastic and trash on a beach. C. A news report about endangered turtles. D. A documentary about marine life. 2.Which action did Jenny take immediately after her vacation? A.
