But there is one artist who breaks all those preconceived ideas about what it takes to create art — Joseph Cornell. Born in New York, in 1903, Joseph Cornell was the son of a designer and salesman. Joseph’s brother, Robert, was born with a serious disease seven years later, and just a year after that, Joseph’s father died of leukemia (白血病), which left the family struggling financially. After spending three rather unsuccessful years at Phillips Academy in Andover, Joseph came back home to his mother and brother for good. He spent his free time wandering around Manhattan. Everywhere he went, he collected interesting objects he found in thrift shops, variety stores, and even on the streets. Joseph loved the idea of travel and extensively researched the cultures of many countries. However, his shyness and discomfort around people as well as his sense of responsibility for his brother meant that he never actually left New York. In his late twenties, Joseph began to put together the objects he had collected into shadow boxes, each representing some aspect of his dreams of freedom, of social connection, and of love. He used string, wine glasses, feathers, shells, postcards and even postage stamps. In Joseph’s boxes, little objects that might seem insignificant all by themselves took on a whole new meaning when put together. Joseph fascinated some celebrities, which led to exhibiting collections of his work in famous museums in New York City. Joseph became friends with a great many people from around the globe, but his fears kept him disengaged from the world on a regular basis. Instead of physically connecting with the world, Joseph Cornell poured all of his visions and dreams into his boxes. He created irresistible visual stories that continue to inspire artists and writers to this day. 1.What made Joseph Cornell different from other artists? A. He rose to fame by accident. B. He drew inspirations from travel. C. His journey to art was not smooth. D. His skill as an artist was self-taught. 2.What do we know about Joseph’s family life? A. His family went through a tough time. B. His parents didn’t support his passion for art. C. He dropped out of school for financial reasons. D. His father had a great influence on his career. 3.Which of the following can best describe Joseph’s art? A. It combined function with beauty. B. It reflected human’s inner struggle. C. It turned the ordinary into extraordinary. D. It laid stress on concept rather than form. 4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Joseph Cornell: Reach out to the World with Art B. The Legend of Joseph Cornell: Living Artistically C. Joseph Cornell: An Artist Who Never Left New York D. Dreaming Inside the Box: Joseph Cornell and His Art 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艺术家约瑟夫·康奈尔如何通过自学和收集日常物品创作出独特的艺术作品，以及他的艺术生涯和个人生活。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“When you think of the vast amount and variety of art created throughout history, you might think the people who created those works of art must have spent years as students in art school or travelled the world to inspire their creations. But there is one artist who breaks all those preconceived ideas about what it takes to create art — Joseph Cornell.(当你想到历史上创作出的数量庞大且种类繁多的艺术作品时，你可能会觉得，创作这些作品的人一定在艺术学校里当过多年学生，或者周游世界以激发创作灵感。但有一位艺术家打破了所有关于艺术创作的先入为主的观念——约瑟夫·康奈尔)”可知，约瑟夫·康奈尔与其他艺术家的不同之处在于他的艺术技能是自学的。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Joseph’s brother, Robert, was born with a serious disease seven years later, and just a year after that, Joseph’s father died of leukemia (白血病), which left the family struggling financially.(七年后，约瑟夫的弟弟罗伯特出生时就患有严重的疾病，仅仅一年后，约瑟夫的父亲就死于白血病，这让家庭经济陷入困境)”可知，约瑟夫的家庭生活经历了艰难时期。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“In his late twenties, Joseph began to put together the objects he had collected into shadow boxes, each representing some aspect of his dreams of freedom, of social connection, and of love.

In Joseph’s boxes, little objects that might seem insignificant all by themselves took on a whole new meaning when put together.(二十多岁后期，约瑟夫开始将他收集的物品组合成影子盒，每个盒子都代表了他对自由、社交联系和爱情的梦想的某个方面。他使用了绳子、酒杯、羽毛、贝壳、明信片，甚至邮票。在约瑟夫的盒子里，那些单独看来可能微不足道的小物件，组合在一起后却有了全新的意义)”可推知，约瑟夫的艺术作品将普通物品转化为非凡之作。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Instead of physically connecting with the world, Joseph Cornell poured all of his visions and dreams into his boxes. He created irresistible visual stories that continue to inspire artists and writers to this day.(约瑟夫·康奈尔没有与世界进行身体上的联系，而是将所有的愿景和梦想都倾注在他的盒子里。他创造了令人难以抗拒的视觉故事，至今仍在激励着艺术家和作家)”可知，本文主要讲述了约瑟夫·康奈尔的艺术创作过程以及他的艺术作品如何将日常物品转化为富有意义的视觉故事，因此最适合的标题是“Dreaming Inside the Box: Joseph Cornell and His Art(在盒子里做梦：约瑟夫·康奈尔和他的艺术)”。故选D。 主题语境03 人与自然-环境 （25-26高一上·重庆育才中学校·期中）It was the fifth straight day of heavy rain in the town of Leith. If it kept up much longer, the river would rise with rainwater and flood the town. Anna and her parents stayed glued to the TV, listening to the weather reports in fear. It had never, ever rained like this before. Luckily, it stopped on the sixth day. Everybody in Leith breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew they had to take action. The Mayor of Leith summoned the folks to a meeting, where two experts brought up different ideas. Dr. Clara Bennett, a famous engineer with a soft spot for concrete (混凝土), suggested building a concrete dam to stop the flooding. Meanwhile, Professor Felix Hawthorne, a wildlife enthusiast with a twinkle in his eye, had a unique idea — reintroducing beavers (河狸) to build their own dams. These fuzzy architects, he explained, once wove sticks, mud, and leaves into natural barriers that worked like gentle sponges, preventing river floods in Scotland. After the experts laid out their ideas, the town hall buzzed with heated debate — voices rose, opinions clashed, and yet no common ground was found. The Mayor suggested everyone take a week to weigh the options before voting. Anna’s father, Fred, scoffed loudly the moment they left the meeting. “That professor must be crazy!” he exclaimed, “Solving flooding with beavers? What a silly idea!” Anna’s mother, however, frowned thoughtfully. “It’s worth a try,” she said. “A single concrete dam built by workers won’t be as effective as several dams crafted by beavers.” Discussion stirred across town until the final vote: they would bring in the beavers! Over the next two years, scientists reintroduced beavers from other parts of Scotland to the area around Leith. Everyone noticed a difference. It rained a lot, but the river didn’t even come close to overflowing — all thanks to the beavers’ dams. 1.How did Anna’s family feel while watching TV? A. Frightened. B. Curious. C. Calm. D. Surprised. 2.What was discussed at the town meeting? A. Plans to protect the rivers. B. Costs of bringing in beavers. C. Methods for blocking floods. D. Difficulties in building dams. 3.Why did Anna’s mother support Professor Felix’s idea? A. She was in favor of concrete dams. B. She once worked with beavers in Leith. C. She found beavers easy to be introduced. D. She considered beaver dams more helpful. 4.What does the text mainly talk about? A. Why a town meeting was called. B. How beavers were brought back to Scotland. C. Why people fought against the flood. D. How a natural solution saved a town from floods. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4.

Dr. Clara Bennett, a famous engineer with a soft spot for concrete (混凝土), suggested building a concrete dam to stop the flooding. Meanwhile, Professor Felix Hawthorne, a wildlife enthusiast with a twinkle in his eye, had a unique idea — reintroducing beavers (河狸) to build their own dams.(莱思市市长召集大家开会，两位专家提出了不同的想法。克拉拉·贝内特博士是一位著名的工程师，对混凝土情有独钟，她建议建造一座混凝土大坝来阻止洪水。与此同时，野生动物爱好者费利克斯·霍桑教授眼睛里闪烁着光芒，他有了一个独特的想法——重新引入河狸，让它们自己筑坝)”可知，镇会议上讨论的是阻止洪水的方法。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Anna’s mother, however, frowned thoughtfully. “It’s worth a try,” she said. “A single concrete dam built by workers won’t be as effective as several dams crafted by beavers.”(然而，安娜的母亲却若有所思地皱起了眉头。“值得一试，”她说。“工人建造的单一混凝土大坝不如河狸建造的几座大坝有效。”)”可知，安娜的母亲支持费利克斯教授的想法是因为她认为河狸筑的大坝更有帮助。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章主要内容，尤其是最后一段“Over the next two years, scientists reintroduced beavers from other parts of Scotland to the area around Leith. Everyone noticed a difference. It rained a lot, but the river didn’t even come close to overflowing — all thanks to the beavers’ dams.(在接下来的两年里，科学家们将河狸从苏格兰其他地区重新引入莱思周边地区。每个人都注意到了不同。雨下得很大，但河水甚至没有接近泛滥——这一切都要归功于河狸的大坝)”可知，本文主要讲述了莱思镇通过引入河狸筑坝这一自然方法成功抵御洪水的故事。故选D。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·重庆名校联盟·期中）When I was twelve years old, my family moved to Southern California from North Florida. I could not accept this sudden change, so gradually, I often felt angry and became stubborn. Like so many teenagers, I tried to escape from anything that did not agree with my picture of the world. A “good without need of guidance” kid, I refused any kind of offering of love until I found a letter under the pillow(枕头). One night, after a particularly difficult day, rushing into my room angrily, I shut the door, threw myself onto the bed, and held the pillow in my arms for comfort, only to find an envelope(信封) under it. On the envelope, it read, “To read when you’re alone.” Since I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not, so I opened it. The letter said “Mike, I know life is hard right now, I know you are upset and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you and I love you—that will never change. Love, Mom.” That was the first of several “To read when you’re alone” letters. Nowadays, I travel the world helping people. Once when I was giving a lecture in Sarasota, Florida, a woman came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son. We walked out to the beach, and I told her about the “To read when you’re alone” letters and my mom’s love under the pillow. Several weeks later, I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son. That night as I went to bed, I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every time I got a letter. During my teen years, the letters reminded me that I was loved in spite of my shortcomings. Today, when the seas of life are full of storms, the never-changing love fills me with endless power. 1.The author became angry and stubborn mainly because ______.

This experience left a lasting impression on her, and she decided to train as a doctor at 16. Although she enjoyed helping others, Jennifer soon realized she wanted to have a bigger influence on others. She wanted to do more than just take patients to the hospital. During her college years, Jennifer studied human biology, health, and society, while also volunteering as a doctor and firefighter. She noticed that many people badly needed to get healthcare, which inspired her to create the EMS Equity Project. This project helped patients in Ithaca find healthcare resources. These experiences led her to go for a job in medicine, and she finally joined Weill Cornell Medical College. At the White Coat Ceremony, Jennifer and her classmates received their white coats and stethoscopes (听诊器). The ceremony marked the start of their medical education. Jennifer, who would be the first in her family to become a doctor, saw the white coat as a symbol (象征) of her responsibility for providing comfort and care to others. She believed that medicine was not just about learning but also about being kind to others. The ceremony was also a reminder that becoming a doctor requires both professional knowledge and a sense of balance in life. As Dr Joseph Safdieh, a medical educator at Weill Cornell Medicine, said, students should aim to be the best one of themselves as doctors, not someone else. Students, with their different backgrounds and experiences, are ready to take on the challenges of the medical field. 1.Why did Jennifer decide to become a doctor? A. She saw how a child was saved. B. She wanted to find a well-paid job. C. She was influenced by some doctors. D. She was badly ill at a young age. 2.What is the main purpose of the EMS Equity Project? A.

It reminded me of the three CDs I recently bought from Mostly Books, a second-hand media store on South Street. I knew I could put the player to good use with them. However, I was a naughty kid who broke closet doors and shelves, so my dad was often unwilling to let me borrow his things. I couldn’t decide whether to ask my dad about using the player. “Can you help me with your old CD player? I want to play some CDs,” I finally asked him after walking into his home office that day. Despite my worries, my dad said yes. Growing up, I felt that my dad disagreed with nearly everything I did. I was frightened to take his advice because listening to him felt like going against my own ideas. That day I looked at his office wall and saw a painting and he told me he bought it in the 1990s for a couple thousand dollars. Imagining him buying the artwork challenged my idea of him being too frugal (节俭的) and boring (没有情调的) to spend so much money on art. This new side of my dad encouraged me to finally take the time to look for our similarities. I discovered how similar we really are while fixing the CD player with my dad, which helped me see him as someone I could relate to, instead of someone to avoid. Watching my dad prepare his old CD player for use was my first step toward understanding him. I observed several of his characters that I recognized in myself, like persistence, patience and calmness. Seeing these characters in my dad showed me how similar we are, which lowered the defenses (防御) I built against him, allowing our relationship to heal (愈合). 1.Why couldn’t the author decide whether to ask his dad about using the player at first? A. He had no CDs to play then. B. He feared his dad would say no. C. He figured the CD player was broken. D. He was afraid he’d break the CD player. 2.What was the problem between the author and his father? A. They often had different views. B. They hardly talked to each other. C. They had no similar personalities. D. They were shy to speak for themselves. 3.What did the author most probably realize after knowing about the painting? A. He should challenge his father. B. His father was very good at art. C. His father was a really boring man. D. He might not really know about his father. 4.What happened between the author and his father in the end? A. They often argued with each other. B. They greatly misunderstood each other. C. They got on with each other much better. D. They built great defenses against each other. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文，作者从小到大都和父亲意见不合，但一次借CD播放机的时候作者得知父亲花几千美元买了一幅画，这让作者意识到自己从未真正了解父亲，于是作者花时间寻找自己和父亲的相似之处，两人的关系也得以缓和。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, I was a naughty kid who broke closet doors and shelves, so my dad was often unwilling to let me borrow his things. I couldn’t decide whether to ask my dad about using the player.(然而，我是一个淘气的孩子，经常打破壁橱的门和架子，所以我爸爸经常不愿意让我借他的东西。我拿不定主意要不要去问爸爸要不要用那台播放器)”可知，作者是一个淘气的孩子，父亲经常不愿意借东西给作者，所以作者犹豫是否要向父亲借用播放器是因为害怕父亲不同意，故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Growing up, I felt that my dad disagreed with nearly everything I did. I was frightened to take his advice because listening to him felt like going against my own ideas.(从小到大，我觉得父亲几乎不同意我做的每一件事。我不敢接受他的建议，因为听他的话就像是违背了我自己的想法)”可知，作者和父亲之间的问题是他们经常有不同意见，故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“That day I looked at his office wall and saw a painting and he told me he bought it in the 1990s for a couple thousand dollars.

Fortunately, my parents planned a holiday and my first ever plane ride in the Airbus A320 happened at the young age of ten. Like a shy little boy, I asked my father to request the pilot to let me see the cockpit(驾驶舱). I still remember how attracted I was to see the buttons, lights, and all the equipment and these pilots in uniform handling it all with ease and confidence. That was the moment I knew what I wanted to do. Then began the real journey and it all started at the age of 17. I got around to collecting all the information required to get me going towards getting my pilot’s license(许可证). My parents knew what it meant to me and how passionate I was about flying, so they arranged the money and I was on a plane to New Zealand in May 2008. As they say, nothing comes easy in life. Being away from home for the first time in a foreign land, many things were challenging -food, culture, and limited cash, to name a few, yet I knew nothing could stop me. In a week, I was in the air doing my first flying lesson. The instructor gave me a briefing on how the flight would be. Then after about 10 hours of flying, I got my first individual flight. I remember the feeling of flying the aircraft alone, the feeling of fear and happiness at the same time. I continued training for 8 months -rain or shine, and I finally took my Commercial Pilot License test. After completing my Commercial Pilot License, I got my first job as a commercial pilot. So far nine years have passed and I’m still doing what I truly enjoy doing.

After completing my run in just over four hours, I jumped into my car, heading to the health club for my regular workout. I made it almost through my kickboxing class before passing out. A friend carried me downstairs, and I lay down on the long sofa. I stayed like that until I could sit up without the room spinning (旋转). Even then, I tried to head to the weight room, but my friend insisted that I go home, packing me into my car with a serious look. Back home, I showered, changed into workout clothes, and headed back to the car — only to find my keys missing. My husband was holding them. “You have a problem,” he said. As he walked away, I cried. If I had the keys, I’d still have gone back to the health club. I was just 30 years old, yet I had the bone density (密度) of a 60-year-old. Due to over-exercising and under-eating, I had more stress fractures (骨折) in my legs and feet. My hair was falling out. I was underweight. I couldn’t sleep. I was feeling cold all the time. My blood pressure was very low. In short, my body was no longer able to properly keep the most basic functions. Then, I started treatment. The first rule of my treatment program was zero exercise. I wasn’t even allowed to walk around the block. I went from exercising for hours every day to nothing. It was the most difficult time I had ever experienced. Today I walk a fine line: I still exercise every day, but I limit it to no more than 2 hours. I have regular checkups at the doctor, and keep good physical and mental health. Now my goal is to educate others. 1.Why did the writer try to return to the health club from home? A. To escape the conversation with her husband. B. Because she had an exercise addiction. C.

It was an inspiring journey of self-discovery. B. It was an effortless and straightforward process. C. It offered a peaceful escape from her daily pressures. D. It presented her with the greatest challenge of her life. 4.What lesson can we learn from the text? A. Prevention is better than cure. B. A little learning is a dangerous thing. C.

High school seniors across Norway participate in this unique tradition. It’s a large-scale, four-week-long celebration marking the end of 13 years of school before the transition to higher education. It begins at the end of April and goes on until May 17. This tradition dates back to the 1900s, though it has evolved (进化) significantly ever since. I just experienced a “russefeiring”. It started with a ceremony, where we had to drink a carbonated beverage (碳酸饮料) under 10 seconds. I didn’t make it, so my friends poured the rest over my head, leaving me totally wet. After that, I wore my “russedress”, a traditional outfit for graduates. It was bright red, with patches (补丁). I spent hours decorating it, painting my favorite bands on it and adding patches for all the places I’d visited. Some students went further, forming big groups with their own logos, stickers and even party songs. They saved money for years to buy and fixed up old buses into party buses. I remember seeing one with a DJ and a mini-bar inside — it was like a moving club. They drove around town, stopping at all the major parties with loud music. It was like a scene from a movie. The celebration peaked on May 17, Norway’s national day. We joined parades, gave out our business cards and celebrated the end of our school journey. We partied all night, dancing and laughing with friends. But as dawn broke, reality struck: in just a few days, we’d be sitting for our national exams. It was a reminder that the party was over, and real life was about to begin. 1.What can we learn about Norway’s “russefeiring”? A. It lasts for three weeks. B. It is a celebration for college graduates. C. It has stayed the same since it began. D. It has been in existence for at least decades. 2.How did students make their “russefeiring” special? A. By changing old buses into moving party places. B. By creating logos to print on business cards. C. By practicing party songs to perform for peers. D. By painting their favorite travel spots on outfits. 3.What would students do after the “russefeiring” peak on May 17? A. They’d immediately start their college life. B. They’d take national exams in a short while. C. They’d plan another party to extend the celebration. D. They’d give away their “russedresses”. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. The Experience of Norway’s National Day parade B. The History of Traditional Celebrations in Norway C. A Special Celebration for Norwegian High School Seniors D. How Norwegian Students Transform Old Buses 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B　4.

The 37-year-old researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Zoology was not able to talk until he was 4 years old. He didn’t have friends around his age, which led him to turn his attention to nonhuman things around him. He became fascinated by the world of insects. “The happiest time of my childhood was in the farm fields. I squatted there, observing the activities of insects, including ants building their homes and dragonflies flying low. I had so many questions about their activities and was full of curiosity about this world,” says Chen. The experiences in his childhood planted a seed deep in his heart. Decades later, he’s a scholar who has engaged in life-science investigations in nearly 100 countries and regions on five continents. He has found around 100 new species, living and extinct. “I was ‘healed’ by nature,” he says. “I wanted to grow up to share the power of nature with more young people and to popularize understanding of animals, including insects.” He has ever visited the Amazon rainforest several times, trying to discover new species. One insect variety he found was leaf-cutter ants, a species that shows powerful cooperation and farming abilities. He is impressed by their close coordination. He observed that the ants are divided into different groups that are respectively responsible for cutting leaves, transporting harvested pieces, clearing obstacles out of the way, guarding the colony and taking care of the young. “Several million ants can live in one nest, but their activities are very orderly,” says Chen. Chen points out that leaf-cutter ants are not the only species to possess magical abilities. “If we humans believe we are the smartest beings in the world, we may be constrained by this preconception. If we are instead humble and regard all other beings as our teachers, we can gain boundless wisdom,“ he says. 1.The underlined word “seed” in paragraph 2 refers to___________. A. Interest in farmland B. Passion for studying insects C. Dream of becoming a scholar D. Curiosity about the Amazon rainforest 2.Which aspect of leaf-cutter ants impresses Chen Rui? A. Their orderly teamwork. B. Their daily activities. C. Their farming ability. D. Their unique transportation. 3.What does Chen Rui expect people to do? A. Explore the world of science. B. Apply theories to our lives. C. Protect nonhuman things around us. D. Take inspiration from other species. 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Joys of Childhood in the Fields. B. Chen Rui: A Person Cured by Nature. C. Chen Rui’s Adventures in the Amazon. D. Leaf-Cutter Ants: An Amazing Species. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4.

I squatted there, observing the activities of insects, including ants building their homes and dragonflies flying low. I had so many questions about their activities and was full of curiosity about this world,” says Chen.(他被昆虫的世界迷住了。“我童年最快乐的时光是在农场里。我蹲在那里，观察昆虫的活动，包括蚂蚁筑巢和蜻蜓低飞。我对他们的活动有很多疑问，对这个世界充满了好奇”)”可知,幼时的陈睿迷上了昆虫的世界, 他在农场观察昆虫的活动, 并在那里度过了童年最快乐的时光, 因此推断这段童年经历在陈睿心中埋下了钟情于研究昆虫的种子, B 项“钟情于研究昆虫”代入原文, 符合文章逻辑, 故选 B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段的“He is impressed by their close coordination. He observed that the ants are divided into different groups that are respectively responsible for cutting leaves, transporting harvested pieces, clearing obstacles out of the way, guarding the colony and taking care of the young.(它们的密切配合给他留下了深刻的印象。他观察到，蚂蚁被分成不同的群体，分别负责割叶、运输收获的碎片、清除路上的障碍物、守卫蚁群和照顾幼蚁。)”可知，让陈睿印象深刻的是切叶蚁们密切的合作。它们有不同的群体划分, 分别负责不同的工作，故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句““If we humans believe we are the smartest beings in the world, we may be constrained by this preconception.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·重庆第八中学校·期中）In September 2025, a street vendor (小贩) in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, suddenly became popular online. Known as “Chicken Cutlet Brother” (鸡排哥) by netizens, he attracted long queues of customers every day, with some even waiting over 3 hours just to buy his fried chicken cutlets. The vendor, named Li Junyong, is 48 years old. He moved to Jingdezhen from Nanchang at the age of 6 and has lived there for 42 years. For many years, he has run a stall (摊子) near No.5 Middle School in Jingdezhen, selling chicken cutlets and chicken strips.

But there is one artist who breaks all those preconceived ideas about what it takes to create art — Joseph Cornell. Born in New York, in 1903, Joseph Cornell was the son of a designer and salesman. Joseph’s brother, Robert, was born with a serious disease seven years later, and just a year after that, Joseph’s father died of leukemia (白血病), which left the family struggling financially. After spending three rather unsuccessful years at Phillips Academy in Andover, Joseph came back home to his mother and brother for good. He spent his free time wandering around Manhattan. Everywhere he went, he collected interesting objects he found in thrift shops, variety stores, and even on the streets. Joseph loved the idea of travel and extensively researched the cultures of many countries. However, his shyness and discomfort around people as well as his sense of responsibility for his brother meant that he never actually left New York. In his late twenties, Joseph began to put together the objects he had collected into shadow boxes, each representing some aspect of his dreams of freedom, of social connection, and of love. He used string, wine glasses, feathers, shells, postcards and even postage stamps. In Joseph’s boxes, little objects that might seem insignificant all by themselves took on a whole new meaning when put together. Joseph fascinated some celebrities, which led to exhibiting collections of his work in famous museums in New York City. Joseph became friends with a great many people from around the globe, but his fears kept him disengaged from the world on a regular basis. Instead of physically connecting with the world, Joseph Cornell poured all of his visions and dreams into his boxes. He created irresistible visual stories that continue to inspire artists and writers to this day. 1.What made Joseph Cornell different from other artists? A. He rose to fame by accident. B. He drew inspirations from travel. C. His journey to art was not smooth. D. His skill as an artist was self-taught. 2.What do we know about Joseph’s family life? A. His family went through a tough time. B. His parents didn’t support his passion for art. C. He dropped out of school for financial reasons. D. His father had a great influence on his career. 3.Which of the following can best describe Joseph’s art? A. It combined function with beauty. B. It reflected human’s inner struggle. C. It turned the ordinary into extraordinary. D. It laid stress on concept rather than form. 4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Joseph Cornell: Reach out to the World with Art B. The Legend of Joseph Cornell: Living Artistically C. Joseph Cornell: An Artist Who Never Left New York D. Dreaming Inside the Box: Joseph Cornell and His Art 主题语境03 人与自然-环境 （25-26高一上·重庆育才中学校·期中）It was the fifth straight day of heavy rain in the town of Leith. If it kept up much longer, the river would rise with rainwater and flood the town. Anna and her parents stayed glued to the TV, listening to the weather reports in fear. It had never, ever rained like this before. Luckily, it stopped on the sixth day. Everybody in Leith breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew they had to take action. The Mayor of Leith summoned the folks to a meeting, where two experts brought up different ideas. Dr. Clara Bennett, a famous engineer with a soft spot for concrete (混凝土), suggested building a concrete dam to stop the flooding. Meanwhile, Professor Felix Hawthorne, a wildlife enthusiast with a twinkle in his eye, had a unique idea — reintroducing beavers (河狸) to build their own dams. These fuzzy architects, he explained, once wove sticks, mud, and leaves into natural barriers that worked like gentle sponges, preventing river floods in Scotland. After the experts laid out their ideas, the town hall buzzed with heated debate — voices rose, opinions clashed, and yet no common ground was found. The Mayor suggested everyone take a week to weigh the options before voting. Anna’s father, Fred, scoffed loudly the moment they left the meeting. “That professor must be crazy!” he exclaimed, “Solving flooding with beavers? What a silly idea!” Anna’s mother, however, frowned thoughtfully. “It’s worth a try,” she said. “A single concrete dam built by workers won’t be as effective as several dams crafted by beavers.” Discussion stirred across town until the final vote: they would bring in the beavers! Over the next two years, scientists reintroduced beavers from other parts of Scotland to the area around Leith. Everyone noticed a difference. It rained a lot, but the river didn’t even come close to overflowing — all thanks to the beavers’ dams. 1.How did Anna’s family feel while watching TV? A. Frightened. B. Curious. C. Calm. D. Surprised. 2.What was discussed at the town meeting? A. Plans to protect the rivers. B. Costs of bringing in beavers. C. Methods for blocking floods. D. Difficulties in building dams. 3.Why did Anna’s mother support Professor Felix’s idea? A. She was in favor of concrete dams. B. She once worked with beavers in Leith. C. She found beavers easy to be introduced. D. She considered beaver dams more helpful. 4.What does the text mainly talk about? A. Why a town meeting was called. B. How beavers were brought back to Scotland. C. Why people fought against the flood. D. How a natural solution saved a town from floods. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·重庆名校联盟·期中）When I was twelve years old, my family moved to Southern California from North Florida. I could not accept this sudden change, so gradually, I often felt angry and became stubborn. Like so many teenagers, I tried to escape from anything that did not agree with my picture of the world. A “good without need of guidance” kid, I refused any kind of offering of love until I found a letter under the pillow(枕头). One night, after a particularly difficult day, rushing into my room angrily, I shut the door, threw myself onto the bed, and held the pillow in my arms for comfort, only to find an envelope(信封) under it. On the envelope, it read, “To read when you’re alone.” Since I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not, so I opened it. The letter said “Mike, I know life is hard right now, I know you are upset and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you and I love you—that will never change. Love, Mom.” That was the first of several “To read when you’re alone” letters. Nowadays, I travel the world helping people. Once when I was giving a lecture in Sarasota, Florida, a woman came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son. We walked out to the beach, and I told her about the “To read when you’re alone” letters and my mom’s love under the pillow. Several weeks later, I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son. That night as I went to bed, I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every time I got a letter. During my teen years, the letters reminded me that I was loved in spite of my shortcomings. Today, when the seas of life are full of storms, the never-changing love fills me with endless power. 1.The author became angry and stubborn mainly because ______.

Passage 3 （25-26高一上·重庆合川瑞山中学·期中）Jennifer Weiss’s journey to medicine began when she was a child, seeing doctors care for her father, who had heart disease. This experience left a lasting impression on her, and she decided to train as a doctor at 16. Although she enjoyed helping others, Jennifer soon realized she wanted to have a bigger influence on others. She wanted to do more than just take patients to the hospital. During her college years, Jennifer studied human biology, health, and society, while also volunteering as a doctor and firefighter. She noticed that many people badly needed to get healthcare, which inspired her to create the EMS Equity Project. This project helped patients in Ithaca find healthcare resources. These experiences led her to go for a job in medicine, and she finally joined Weill Cornell Medical College. At the White Coat Ceremony, Jennifer and her classmates received their white coats and stethoscopes (听诊器). The ceremony marked the start of their medical education. Jennifer, who would be the first in her family to become a doctor, saw the white coat as a symbol (象征) of her responsibility for providing comfort and care to others. She believed that medicine was not just about learning but also about being kind to others. The ceremony was also a reminder that becoming a doctor requires both professional knowledge and a sense of balance in life.

It reminded me of the three CDs I recently bought from Mostly Books, a second-hand media store on South Street. I knew I could put the player to good use with them. However, I was a naughty kid who broke closet doors and shelves, so my dad was often unwilling to let me borrow his things. I couldn’t decide whether to ask my dad about using the player. “Can you help me with your old CD player? I want to play some CDs,” I finally asked him after walking into his home office that day. Despite my worries, my dad said yes. Growing up, I felt that my dad disagreed with nearly everything I did. I was frightened to take his advice because listening to him felt like going against my own ideas. That day I looked at his office wall and saw a painting and he told me he bought it in the 1990s for a couple thousand dollars. Imagining him buying the artwork challenged my idea of him being too frugal (节俭的) and boring (没有情调的) to spend so much money on art. This new side of my dad encouraged me to finally take the time to look for our similarities. I discovered how similar we really are while fixing the CD player with my dad, which helped me see him as someone I could relate to, instead of someone to avoid. Watching my dad prepare his old CD player for use was my first step toward understanding him. I observed several of his characters that I recognized in myself, like persistence, patience and calmness. Seeing these characters in my dad showed me how similar we are, which lowered the defenses (防御) I built against him, allowing our relationship to heal (愈合). 1.Why couldn’t the author decide whether to ask his dad about using the player at first? A. He had no CDs to play then. B. He feared his dad would say no. C. He figured the CD player was broken. D. He was afraid he’d break the CD player. 2.What was the problem between the author and his father? A. They often had different views. B. They hardly talked to each other. C. They had no similar personalities. D. They were shy to speak for themselves. 3.What did the author most probably realize after knowing about the painting? A. He should challenge his father. B. His father was very good at art. C. His father was a really boring man. D. He might not really know about his father. 4.What happened between the author and his father in the end? A. They often argued with each other. B. They greatly misunderstood each other. C. They got on with each other much better. D. They built great defenses against each other. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·重庆渝东九校联考·期中）As a kid, I remember being so interested in planes. Fortunately, my parents planned a holiday and my first ever plane ride in the Airbus A320 happened at the young age of ten. Like a shy little boy, I asked my father to request the pilot to let me see the cockpit(驾驶舱). I still remember how attracted I was to see the buttons, lights, and all the equipment and these pilots in uniform handling it all with ease and confidence. That was the moment I knew what I wanted to do. Then began the real journey and it all started at the age of 17. I got around to collecting all the information required to get me going towards getting my pilot’s license(许可证). My parents knew what it meant to me and how passionate I was about flying, so they arranged the money and I was on a plane to New Zealand in May 2008. As they say, nothing comes easy in life. Being away from home for the first time in a foreign land, many things were challenging -food, culture, and limited cash, to name a few, yet I knew nothing could stop me. In a week, I was in the air doing my first flying lesson. The instructor gave me a briefing on how the flight would be. Then after about 10 hours of flying, I got my first individual flight. I remember the feeling of flying the aircraft alone, the feeling of fear and happiness at the same time. I continued training for 8 months -rain or shine, and I finally took my Commercial Pilot License test. After completing my Commercial Pilot License, I got my first job as a commercial pilot. So far nine years have passed and I’m still doing what I truly enjoy doing. It’s my life and passion and it gives me great pleasure to put on my uniform, report for my flight, and make the sky my home. 1.What’s the author’s parents’ attitude towards his dream? A. Worried. B.

Passage 3 （25-26高一上·重庆渝北中学·期中）I had been up since 4 a. m. running 27 miles in the dark for an upcoming marathon. After completing my run in just over four hours, I jumped into my car, heading to the health club for my regular workout. I made it almost through my kickboxing class before passing out. A friend carried me downstairs, and I lay down on the long sofa. I stayed like that until I could sit up without the room spinning (旋转). Even then, I tried to head to the weight room, but my friend insisted that I go home, packing me into my car with a serious look. Back home, I showered, changed into workout clothes, and headed back to the car — only to find my keys missing. My husband was holding them. “You have a problem,” he said. As he walked away, I cried. If I had the keys, I’d still have gone back to the health club. I was just 30 years old, yet I had the bone density (密度) of a 60-year-old. Due to over-exercising and under-eating, I had more stress fractures (骨折) in my legs and feet. My hair was falling out. I was underweight. I couldn’t sleep. I was feeling cold all the time. My blood pressure was very low. In short, my body was no longer able to properly keep the most basic functions. Then, I started treatment. The first rule of my treatment program was zero exercise. I wasn’t even allowed to walk around the block. I went from exercising for hours every day to nothing. It was the most difficult time I had ever experienced. Today I walk a fine line: I still exercise every day, but I limit it to no more than 2 hours. I have regular checkups at the doctor, and keep good physical and mental health. Now my goal is to educate others. 1.Why did the writer try to return to the health club from home? A. To escape the conversation with her husband. B. Because she had an exercise addiction. C.

These days we were a smaller group in Belle Valley, Ohio. Last New Year’s Day, I insisted (坚持要求) on acting as hostess of a letter game and wanted to bring back the joy I’d felt at my childhood New Year. As family members arrived at the hall, I handed each one of them a numbered card and said, “Time for the letter game.” “What kind of game is that?” one of my great-grandchildren asked. “Well,” I said, “Who’s got number one?” A cousin raised her hand. “Tell us something you never forget,” I said. “Something that begins with the letter A.” My cousin smiled. “Apple pie” she said. Great-granddaughter Mindy was next. “B,” she said. “I am impressed by Buckeye Country.” “Cookies” Number 3 shouted. Until Number 17, “The next one’s a challenge,” I said. “Who’s got 17?” Ryan, my son, slowly raised his hand. “Q,” he said. “Quaker City Carnival (嘉年华).” The room went silent. “It’s one of the oldest traditions in Ohio,” Ryan said. “Grandma and Grandpa met there. That’s where they fell in love. That’s where this whole thing started. This whole family.” Ryan looked around the room, making eye contact with everyone. “We wouldn’t be here celebrating New Year together if it wasn’t for Quaker City Carnival.” The room burst into laughter. “This is the best New Year we’ve ever had,” a great-grandson said to me secretly. Whatever their New Year would look like when they grew up, they’d remember this one.

It’s a large-scale, four-week-long celebration marking the end of 13 years of school before the transition to higher education. It begins at the end of April and goes on until May 17. This tradition dates back to the 1900s, though it has evolved (进化) significantly ever since. I just experienced a “russefeiring”. It started with a ceremony, where we had to drink a carbonated beverage (碳酸饮料) under 10 seconds. I didn’t make it, so my friends poured the rest over my head, leaving me totally wet. After that, I wore my “russedress”, a traditional outfit for graduates. It was bright red, with patches (补丁). I spent hours decorating it, painting my favorite bands on it and adding patches for all the places I’d visited. Some students went further, forming big groups with their own logos, stickers and even party songs. They saved money for years to buy and fixed up old buses into party buses. I remember seeing one with a DJ and a mini-bar inside — it was like a moving club. They drove around town, stopping at all the major parties with loud music. It was like a scene from a movie. The celebration peaked on May 17, Norway’s national day. We joined parades, gave out our business cards and celebrated the end of our school journey. We partied all night, dancing and laughing with friends. But as dawn broke, reality struck: in just a few days, we’d be sitting for our national exams. It was a reminder that the party was over, and real life was about to begin. 1.What can we learn about Norway’s “russefeiring”? A. It lasts for three weeks. B.

The 37-year-old researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Zoology was not able to talk until he was 4 years old. He didn’t have friends around his age, which led him to turn his attention to nonhuman things around him. He became fascinated by the world of insects. “The happiest time of my childhood was in the farm fields. I squatted there, observing the activities of insects, including ants building their homes and dragonflies flying low. I had so many questions about their activities and was full of curiosity about this world,” says Chen. The experiences in his childhood planted a seed deep in his heart. Decades later, he’s a scholar who has engaged in life-science investigations in nearly 100 countries and regions on five continents. He has found around 100 new species, living and extinct. “I was ‘healed’ by nature,” he says. “I wanted to grow up to share the power of nature with more young people and to popularize understanding of animals, including insects.” He has ever visited the Amazon rainforest several times, trying to discover new species. One insect variety he found was leaf-cutter ants, a species that shows powerful cooperation and farming abilities. He is impressed by their close coordination. He observed that the ants are divided into different groups that are respectively responsible for cutting leaves, transporting harvested pieces, clearing obstacles out of the way, guarding the colony and taking care of the young. “Several million ants can live in one nest, but their activities are very orderly,” says Chen. Chen points out that leaf-cutter ants are not the only species to possess magical abilities. “If we humans believe we are the smartest beings in the world, we may be constrained by this preconception. If we are instead humble and regard all other beings as our teachers, we can gain boundless wisdom,“ he says. 1.The underlined word “seed” in paragraph 2 refers to___________. A. Interest in farmland B. Passion for studying insects C. Dream of becoming a scholar D. Curiosity about the Amazon rainforest 2.Which aspect of leaf-cutter ants impresses Chen Rui? A. Their orderly teamwork. B. Their daily activities. C. Their farming ability. D. Their unique transportation. 3.What does Chen Rui expect people to do? A. Explore the world of science. B. Apply theories to our lives. C. Protect nonhuman things around us. D. Take inspiration from other species. 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Joys of Childhood in the Fields. B. Chen Rui: A Person Cured by Nature. C. Chen Rui’s Adventures in the Amazon. D. Leaf-Cutter Ants: An Amazing Species. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
