Two close friends have given an answer to the question: NO. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip, both at the age of 81, encouraged by Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in 80 Days, are on a task to see all seven continents (大洲) in just over two and a half months. Their first stop was a place that was not easily visited even by many experienced travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping (滑倒) and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild,” Hamby said. “But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable and amazing.” Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, and seen the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world.” When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too worried. “She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain... That’s fine. She’s living the life she wanted to live, and I’m happy for her,’” Hamby said. Hazelip hopes their story can encourage people of all ages. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Hazelip said. “Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ‘the world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page’. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort area, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.” 1.Which words can best describe Hamby and Hazelip’s journey to Antarctica? A. Relaxing but short. B. Boring and common. C. Well-planned and smooth. D. Adventurous but impressive. 2.What was the most unforgettable part of the trip for Hamby? A. Seeing amazing sights. B. Meeting wonderful people. C. Exploring unique cultures. D. Having her best friend’s company. 3.What was Louise’s attitude towards her mother’s journey? A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Anxious. 4.What message does Hazelip most want to tell readers? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. A friend for life is a friend indeed. C. Seeing the world is not a must for the old. D. It’s never too late to live life to the fullest. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了81岁的Ellie Hamby和Sandy Hazelip受《环游世界八十天》的启发，在两个半月内游览七大洲的故事。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping (滑倒) and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild (将近两天的时间里，我们在德雷克海峡颠簸摇晃，滑来滑去。太疯狂了)”以及“But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable and amazing. (但当我们踏上南极的土地时，我们就把这一切都忘了。南极的美简直令人难以置信，令人惊叹。)”可知，她们的南极之旅充满惊险刺激但又令人印象深刻。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. (对Hamby来说，旅途中最棒的部分不是沿途的风景。“我们喜欢我们看到的所有风景，但我们记得最清楚的是我们遇到的人，”她说。)”可知，对Hamby来说，这次旅行中最难忘的部分是遇到很棒的人。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too worried. “She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain... That’s fine. She’s living the life she wanted to live, and I’m happy for her,’” Hamby said. (当谈到他们的家人对他们的旅行有何感想时，Hamby说她的女儿Louise并不太担心。“她只是说，‘好吧，如果妈妈在埃及从热气球上掉下来，或者从山上掉下来……那也没关系。她过着自己想要的生活，我为她感到高兴，’”Hamby说。)”可知，Louise认为母亲在过自己想要的生活，她为她感到高兴，由此推知，Louise对她母亲的旅行持支持态度。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Don’t sit in that chair and waste away (不要坐在椅子上虚度光阴)”以及“Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ‘the world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page’. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort area, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number. (Ellie有句妙语：‘世界是一本书，不旅行的人只读了一页。’所以，从那张安乐椅上站起来，走出你的舒适区，制定一些计划，好好生活。记住，年龄只是一个数字。)”可知，Hazelip最想告诉读者的是，生活要充实，什么时候开始都不晚。故选D项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·山东青岛第五十八中学·期中）Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety. He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However, in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian (守护者), patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started. With Mei’s effort, the situation gradually picked up. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more villagers returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.” Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined. Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.” 1.What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall? A. The dream of being a hero. B. The influence of his friends. C. The poor condition of the Great Wall. D. Encouragement from the villagers. 2.What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Improved. B. Appeared. C. Remained. D. Worsened. 3.Which of the following best describes Mei Jingtian? A. careful and confident. B. kind-hearted and humorous. C. creative and curious. D. responsible and strong-willed. 4.What does the text mainly talk about? A. A lifelong guardian of the Great Wall. B. Villagers’ deep love for the Great Wall. C. The progress in protecting the Great Wall. D. A Practical Great Wall protection program. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了梅景田守护长城的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian (守护者), patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter.(然而在1979年，当他在外面工作多年后回到石峡村时，他被古老城墙的糟糕状况震惊了。“一些村民甚至从上面取石头来盖房子，”梅景田说。为了保护这个奇迹，梅自愿成为一名守护者，每天巡逻20公里，防止人们取石头、在墙上写字或扔垃圾。)”可知，长城的糟糕状况让梅景田决定保护长城。故选C。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started. With Mei’s effort, the situation gradually picked up. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more villagers returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol.(1984年，长城保护项目启动。在梅的努力下，情况逐渐picked up。越来越多的村民意识到保护的重要性，归还了他们拿走的石头，并和梅一起巡逻。)”可知，在梅的努力下，情况逐渐好转，越来越多的村民意识到保护的重要性，归还了他们拿走的石头，并和梅一起巡逻，故picked up意思是“改善，好转”。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety.(即使到了80岁，梅景田仍然在长城的石峡关段巡逻。凭借40多年的经验，他用木棍敲打杂草丛生的地面，警告野生动物注意安全。)”、以及第三段中“In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians.(2006年，作为村长，梅成立了一个志愿者保护组织，100名村民中有80人加入了守护者行列。)”可知，梅景天40多年如一日坚持巡逻长城，阻止破坏行为，还成立志愿保护组织带动村民参与，80岁高龄仍坚守岗位，能看出他有责任心且意志坚定。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety.(即使到了80岁，梅景田仍然在长城的石峡关段巡逻。凭借40多年的经验，他用木棍敲打杂草丛生的地面，警告野生动物注意安全。)”可知，文章主要讲述了梅景田守护长城的故事，即这篇文章主要讲的是长城的终身守护者。故选A。 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·山东潍坊·期中）This is such a small thing but it meant so much to a boy like me. This happened when I was around 14 and in a really bad situation in my life — teenage hormones (荷尔蒙) mixed with a bad home life, sadness, anxiety and not having close friends left me quite lonely. We had woodworking classes on Thursdays then. I put a lot of time and hard work into our project. Once it was done, we could bring it home. Usually I would feel quite uncomfortable with others seeing what I had put work into, so I would hide it in my backpack, but this time our project was too big, so I had to carry it by hand. I was anxious someone would see it, so I tried my best to hide it with my body. But when I was putting on my jacket, I heard another student behind me talking to her friend about how cool my work was. She sounded truly impressed, and that was the first time I had felt seen in a positive way. I felt proud in a way I’d never felt before and it raised my self-confidence. I decided not to hide my project and I just felt so good about myself. Ever since then I’ve never had problems showing people things I’ve created. It didn’t clear away my anxiety but it made me feel good, like I was worth something, and it still brings a smile to my face to this day. I doubt that girl knew how much it meant to me. I don’t even think she knew I heard it, but her simply telling her friend that my project was cool helped me so much during my teenage years. Never underestimate (低估) the power of a simple, kind word. 1.What was the writer’s life like at 14? A. Struggling with study. B. Having no close friends. C. Being in poor health. D. Suffering from homesickness. 2.Which can best describe the writer according to paragraph 3? A. Shy and unconfident. B. Proud and self-centered. C. Careless and impolite. D. Curious and warm-hearted. 3.How did the girl’s words make a difference to the writer? A. Helped him make more friends. B. Removed his anxiety completely. C. Made him love woodworking more. D. Improved his confidence in creation. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Youth Sadness, My Old Days B. Teen Loneliness, Big Trouble C. Tiny Kindness, Deep Influence D. Natural Shyness, My Past Self 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在14岁时生活困顿，因同学的一句夸赞而重获自信的故事，强调了善意话语的巨大影响力。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This happened when I was around 14 and in a really bad situation in my life — teenage hormones (荷尔蒙) mixed with a bad home life, sadness, anxiety and not having close friends left me quite lonely.(这事发生在我大约14岁的时候，当时我的生活处境十分糟糕——青春期荷尔蒙作祟，家庭生活不顺，满心悲伤焦虑，又没有亲密的朋友，让我倍感孤独。)”可知，作者14岁时没有亲密的朋友。故选B。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Usually I would feel quite uncomfortable with others seeing what I had put work into, so I would hide it in my backpack, but this time our project was too big, so I had to carry it by hand. I was anxious someone would see it, so I tried my best to hide it with my body.(通常，当别人看到我投入工作的成果时，我会感到很不舒服，所以我会把它藏在背包里，但这次我们的项目太大了，所以我只能用手拿着。我担心有人会看到它，所以我尽力用身体把它藏起来。)”可知，作者很害羞且不自信。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But when I was putting on my jacket, I heard another student behind me talking to her friend about how cool my work was. She sounded truly impressed, and that was the first time I had felt seen in a positive way.(但当我穿外套时，我听到身后一个学生跟她的朋友说我的作品有多酷。她听起来真的印象深刻，那是我第一次以积极的方式被人关注到。)”、第四段中“I felt proud in a way I’d never felt before and it raised my self-confidence.

The question “Why don’t we just clean it up?” stayed in his mind, and led him to devote his high school science project to understanding the problem. After a year of experimenting, Boyan came up with the idea to use the ocean currents to his advantage, and let them be the driving force behind catching and collecting the plastic. Instead of going after the plastic, you could let the plastic come to you. Initially, his idea did not gain attention. He decided to quit his studies and founded The Ocean Cleanup, with just 300 euros of savings as a starting capital. Then one night in March 2013, things changed. He spoke on TEDx about this project. The TEDx video spread to hundreds of thousands of people. In a matter of days, an initial team was built, and it raised the first USD 90,000. The project took off. Their early models had their share of failures — plastic slipping through, parts breaking off in the ocean. But they kept at it. In 2019, System 001/B finally worked. Then came System 002, which in 2021 gathered 20,000 pounds of ocean waste. Now they launched the Interceptor: a solar-powered system designed to catch plastic in rivers before it reaches the ocean. So far, Interceptors have been used in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, and Los Angeles — with more on the way. Boyan Slat’s journey is a powerful reminder that innovation, passion, and determination can lead to significant change. His work to clean up the oceans has made a lasting impact on the world and serves as an inspiration for others to take action on environmental issues. 1.What inspired Boyan Slat to deal with plastic problems? A. A high school science project. B. An unpleasant diving experience. C. A cleanup research program. D. An experiment of ocean currents. 2.What is Boyan’s idea of the ocean cleanup? A. Catching plastics by scuba divers. B. Breaking down plastics in the sea. C. Trapping trash using ocean currents. D. Going after plastics with machines. 3.What was the turning point of the The Ocean Cleanup? A. The donated 300 euros to the project. B. Boyan’s presentation in a TEDx video. C. The successful launching of Interceptor. D. Boyan’s decision to drop out of school. 4.What can be learned from Boyan Slat’s story? A. Better late than never. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. A good beginning is half done. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Boyan Slat从一次不愉快的潜水经历中获得灵感，立志清理海洋塑料垃圾，历经挫折后创立“海洋清理”项目，最终研发出有效清理设备并产生深远影响的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“It all started when the 16-year-old Boyan Slat was scuba diving (水肺潜水) in Greece and was surprised to see more plastic than fish. The question “Why don’t we just clean it up?” stayed in his mind, and led him to devote his high school science project to understanding the problem.(这一切都始于16岁的博扬·斯莱特在希腊进行水肺潜水时，惊讶地发现塑料比鱼还多。“我们为什么不把它清理干净呢？”这个问题一直萦绕在他的脑海里，并促使他把自己的高中科学项目投入到理解这个问题上)”可知，这次不愉快的潜水经历让他产生了解决塑料污染问题的想法。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“After a year of experimenting, Boyan came up with the idea to to use the ocean currents to his advantage, and let them be the driving force behind catching and collecting the plastic.(经过一年的实验，Boyan想出了利用洋流的优势，让洋流成为捕捉和收集塑料的动力的办法)”可知，他的清理思路是借助洋流困住垃圾。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Then one night in March 2013, things changed. He spoke on TEDx about this project. The TEDx video spread to hundreds of thousands of people. In a matter of days, an initial team was built, and it raised the first USD 90,000. The project took off.(2013年3月的一天晚上，Boyan在TEDx上讲述了这个项目，相关视频被数十万人观看。很快组建了初始团队并筹集到第一笔9万美元的资金。项目自此顺利展开)”可知，他在TEDx的演讲是项目的转折点。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Boyan Slat’s journey is a powerful reminder that innovation, passion, and determination can lead to significant change.(Boyan Slat的经历强有力地证明，创新、热情与决心能够带来重大改变)”可推知，“有志者事竟成”最能概括他的故事带来的启示。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·山东菏泽第一中学·期中）Recently Jiang Mengnan has touched the hearts of countless people in China.

I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talking, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment”. I realized his tears weren’t out of sadness, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (普通教育文凭), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally got an opportunity for a job. Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, the interviewers said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career. Kevin studied hard, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain”. Whenever Kevin took a test, he posted the results on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 1.Why was Kevin Beard in tears in the classroom? A. He was sharing a sad story. B. He felt stressed about his new job. C. He felt joyful and proud of his success. D. He was moved by his students’ progress. 2.What do the underlined words “came clean” mean in paragraph 2? A. Kept silent. B. Told the truth. C. Made himself tidy. D. Felt sorry. 3.Which of the following best describes Kevin’s process of getting his GED? A. Quick and easy. B. Lonely and boring. C. Unexpected and lucky. D. Long and difficult. 4.What can we learn from Kevin’s story? A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. Practice makes perfect. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. Well begun, half done. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。讲述了52岁的教师Kevin因阅读障碍早年辍学，为获得工作承诺刻苦攻读十余年，终获GED文凭，他喜极而泣，且以此为新起点，计划继续攻读大学。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talking, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment”. I realized his tears weren’t out of sadness, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (普通教育文凭), at the age of 52. (我原本担心他的人生出现了极其糟糕的事情，但当我听他讲述时，却听到了诸如“令人惊叹”和“成就”这样的词汇。我意识到他的泪水并非源于悲伤，而是喜悦。就在几天前，他年满52岁时获得了普通教育发展证书。)”可知，凯文·贝德在教室里泪流满面是因为他为自己取得的成功而感到喜悦和自豪。故选C。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“In his mid-30s, Kevin finally got an opportunity for a job. (在35岁左右的时候，凯文终于得到了一份工作机会。)”以及后文“the interviewers said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. (面试官们表示，只要他能拿到高中毕业文凭，他们就会录用他。)”可知，Kevin 在30多岁时获得工作机会，后文提到“面试官要求他拿到GED才录用”，由此可推断“came clean”指他向面试官“坦白了自己的教育背景（未完成学业）”，即“说出真相”，故划线词意思是“说出真相”。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“Kevin studied hard, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain”.

He became famous across the United States for his kindness and mercy in the court, especially through his popular television show. Judge Caprio served as a local court judge for nearly 40 years before retiring in 2023. What made him special was his belief that a court should be a place of “kindness and mercy.” This made him very different from other judges who often appeared strict and cold-hearted. His show, Caught in Providence, made him a national celebrity later in his life. The program featured real cases from his court — breaking traffic rules, housing problems, and slight crimes. First shown on local television in 1986, the show gained widespread popularity after 2017 when cases were shared online, eventually reaching over 800 million views. One famous example of his mercy involved a 96-year-old man who received a speeding ticket. When Judge Caprio learned the man was driving his son to cancer treatment, he immediately cancelled the case. “Here you are in your 90s, and you’re still taking care of your family,” he told the man. “That’s just a wonderful thing.” Judge Caprio’s kindness came from his roots. He grew up in a poor Italian American family during the 1930s. His father worked as a milkman, and young Frank helped by shining shoes and delivering newspapers. He never forgot his father’s advice; “You can never forget where you came from.” Due to financial challenges, Judge Caprio worked as a teacher while studying law at night. He eventually became a judge known for understanding people’s struggles. The governor of Rhode Island praised him as “a symbol of consideration in the court.” His story continues to inspire people about how justice can be spread with humanity and understanding. 1.What makes Judge Caprio unique? A. Being famous at an early age. B. Putting himself in others’ shoes. C. Long career and strict rulings. D. Background from a poor family. 2.What does Caught in Providence focus on? A. Famous figures. B. Law courses. C. Daily businesses. D. Real court cases. 3.Why did Judge Caprio cancel the speeding ticket for the elderly man? A. He was responsible for family. B. He broke the law for the first time. C. He was too old to pay the fine. D. He promised to never speed again. 4.Which would best describe Judge Caprio’s qualities? A. Brave and wise. B. Generous and creative. C. Patient and strict. D. Considerate and warm. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了美国著名法官弗兰克·卡普里奥的生平，他以法庭上的善良与仁慈闻名，其节目和事迹彰显了充满人文关怀的正义。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What made him special was his belief that a court should be a place of “kindness and mercy.” This made him very different from other judges who often appeared strict and cold-hearted.

She went back home and opened her closet doors, seeing shoes piled up high. She headed to her mother’s closet next, literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes. Then she rushed to give them all away to the barefoot children. Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole (鞋底；脚掌) Warriors, a charity organization, with the motto “Donate a sole, save a soul”. Telephone calls from people who wanted to help came flooding in. For months, Sia stayed up till 2 a.m., contacting people and dealing with related affairs. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used footwear, repairs it and donates the finished products to people in need. In its first campaign, Sole Warriors gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number stands at around 28, 000, thanks to the hard work of a team of about 80 volunteers. But the organization’s growth wasn’t without its challenges. When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge, she faced one difficulty after another before finding India’s Pressto Cobler that would join her in the effort. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of bias because at my age, people were less willing to hear me out,” says Sia. In honor of her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, one of the greatest honours a young person can receive for social work.

I’m deaf and rely on lip- reading for verbal communication. I had managed fine as a postdoc(博士后), though not without challenges. But leading a team was different. I had no idea whether I would be able to communicate effectively with my lab members. My pronunciation is sometimes off because of my disability, which leads some people to believe that I lack intelligence. But after almost 2 years in the position, I’ ve come up with a set of solutions to help me out. In addition to regular one- on- one meetings with my students, I decided to have each student work with me for entire days in the lab when they first join my group. That way, they can see what I’m doing and ask questions as we go along. And time with the students allows me to carefully explain the principle behind each experimental step. I also established written communication as the most important way to exchange information. Through instant messaging services, I can quickly reach out to my students and share ideas, materials and links. Before they get going with any experiment, I ask them to write a detailed protocol(实验计划) as well, which has allowed me to double- check whenever I spot something that I must have missed during our verbal discussions. At first, I feared my students would feel that writing out all of their experimental design steps and data analysis plans was unnecessary. But they’ve told me this step allows them to deepen their understanding of the project before starting experiments. I’m still early in my faculty career, but I feel these strategies are working well for me. I no longer worry that I’m missing important information. And I’ve been able to guide students in a way that would have been difficult for me to do through verbal communication alone. Looking back, I wish I’d followed these strategies earlier in my career. 1.What was the author’s concern at the beginning of his faculty position? A. He couldn’t get along with others. B. He had insufficient work experience. C. He couldn’t focus on scientific research. D. He would suffer communication problems. 2.Which of the following shows the author’s efforts to improve his teaching effect? A. Encouraging communication in various ways. B. Strengthening students’ interest in science. C. Connecting students whenever possible. D. Asking students to learn lip- reading. 3.What was the result of the students’ writing down protocols? A. It practiced their writing skills. B. It slowed down the project process. C. It benefited both the author and the students. D. It inspired them to come up with new ideas. 4.What is the author’s tone(语气) at the end of the text? A. Surprised. B. Confident. C. Regretful. D. Anxious. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者因为听力障碍在成为教授后与学生交流时遇到的问题，以及作者针对这些问题所想出的解决方法。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I’m deaf and rely on lip- reading for verbal communication. I had managed fine as a postdoc(博士后), though not without challenges. But leading a team was different. I had no idea whether I would be able to communicate effectively with my lab members.( 我是个聋子，依靠唇读来进行口头交流。作为一个博士后，我做得很好，尽管不是没有挑战。但是领导一个团队是不同的。我不知道我是否能够有效地与我的实验室成员沟通。)”可知，作者在担任教职之初担心他会有沟通问题。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In addition to regular one- on- one meetings with my students, I decided to have each student work with me for entire days in the lab when they first join my group.( 除了定期与我的学生进行一对一的会面外，我还决定让每个学生刚加入我的小组时，在实验室里和我一起工作一整天。)”以及第三段中“I also established written communication as the most important way to exchange information.( 我还建立了书面交流作为最重要的方式来交换信息。)”可知，作者为提高教学效果所做的努力是鼓励以各种方式交流。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Before they get going with any experiment, I ask them to write a detailed protocol(实验计划) as well, which has allowed me to double- check whenever I spot something that I must have missed during our verbal discussions.( 在他们开始任何实验之前，我要求他们也写一份详细的协议，这使我能够在发现一些我在口头讨论中肯定错过的东西时进行双重检查。)”以及第四段中“But they’ve told me this step allows them to deepen their understanding of the project before starting experiments.( 但他们告诉我，这一步可以让他们在开始实验之前加深对项目的理解。)”可知，学生们把实验计划写下来的结果是使他们加深对项目的理解，同时这一做法也使作者更清楚地了解项目情况。由此可推知，学生们写下协议的结果是作者和学生都从中受益。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I’m still early in my faculty career, but I feel these strategies are working well for me. I no longer worry that I’m missing important information.”（我仍处于教师生涯的初期，但我觉得这些策略对我很有用。我不再担心错过重要信息。）可推知，作者对自己采取的策略充满信心。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·山东泰安第一中学·期中）One tap of my stick, and the buffalo (水牛) moved forward. I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes. The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward. I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper. One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university. Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them.

The alarm goes off and the only light is the red glow from my clock. My body says, “Go back to bed.” But I don’t. I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers. If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work. Then, last fall I reconnected with an old friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. I asked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape. The first two months were especially hard, because we ran twice a week at 5:15 a.m. and I slept till 7:00 the other mornings. But as I’ve adjusted to the routine of running, I’ve discovered great joys that make it even more worthwhile than a little weight loss. While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of my day is more productive. I wouldn’t say I’ve become a morning person, but I would say morning running is now my thing. 1.What can we know about the author from paragraph 1? A. 5:15 a.m. is the best time for her to exercise.

Supportive. 3.What made the author begin to run in the morning? A. Her partner’s encouragement. B. Her friend’s suggestion. C. Realizing the harm of being fat. D. Realizing the benefits of running. 4.What effect does morning running have on the author? A. She has become slim again. B. She has become more energetic. C. She has become more confident. D.

Over time, he began connecting artists he’d met on travels from developing markets like Cuba, Egypt, and Brazil to the gallery owners he knew. “The results were amazing because these artists were used to selling their work to tourists for $50, and suddenly they’re hanging work in a high-end gallery and getting 5,000 pounds,” Gulak said. “It was the same artist but different buyers. Traditional galleries usually act as gatekeepers. Their picky selection (挑剔的选择) process is why many galleries usually show similar artists’ works. There are plenty of creative minds out there whose great art has never been seen outside of the local market.” For a class project at college, Gulak built a system that tried to guess the types of art that would do well in a gallery. As a computer scientist, he later started NALA, which stands for Networked Artistic Learning Algorithm (算法). The company allows artists to upload works and choose their listing price. Gulak notes that not all art will sell. “If you’re making rock paintings, there may not be a big market,” he said. “Artists may price their work higher than buyers are willing to pay, but the algorithm works to put art in front of the possible buyers based on style preferences and price points.” Gulak was once visiting Egypt when he discovered a beautiful painting on the street. Gulak found a local artist, Ahmed Nofal, and bought some works. Later, he brought Nofal to take part in World Art Dubai, an international art fair. The artist’s work was so well-received there. “When artists visit NALA, we discuss together, sharing ideas. These experiences also give me a unique view, pushing me to explore new partnerships and fresh projects.” Gulak said. 1.What do we know about Benjamin Gulak? A. He prefers digital art to science. B. He has a rich artistic background. C. He supported himself in several ways. D. He found creative ideas through travels. 2.What does Gulak say about traditional galleries? A. They aim at wealthy art collectors. B. They have influenced popular art styles. C. They leave many talented artists unnoticed. D. They slow down international art exchanges. 3.How does NALA mainly benefit the artists? A. By providing training in art marketing. B. By setting higher prices for their works. C. By getting their art into famous galleries. D. By matching artworks with suitable buyers. 4.What does Gulak suggest about his partnership with artists like Nofal? A. It is a difficult process. B. It is a win-win situation. C. It is a short-term success. D. It makes NALA well known. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Benjamin Gulak丰富的艺术经历，他创建的NALA公司如何帮助艺术家，以及他与艺术家合作的成功案例。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Growing up in Canada, Benjamin Gulak took part in science fairs from a young age. Drawing had also been a part of Gulak’s life, and he even did an abroad program of fine arts study in Italy during high school. (Benjamin Gulak在加拿大长大，从小就参加科学展览。绘画也是Gulak生活的一部分，他甚至在高中时就去意大利参加了一个美术学习项目)”可知，Benjamin Gulak有丰富的艺术背景。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Traditional galleries usually act as gatekeepers. Their picky selection (挑剔的选择) process is why many galleries usually show similar artists’ works. There are plenty of creative minds out there whose great art has never been seen outside of the local market. (传统画廊通常扮演着守门人的角色。正是其挑剔的筛选机制，导致多数画廊往往展出相似艺术家的作品。众多创意天才的杰出艺术作品，因此难以突破地域限制进入更广阔的视野)”可知，Gulak认为传统画廊的挑剔选择过程使得许多有才华的艺术家难以突破地域限制进入更广阔的视野，未能被注意到。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As a computer scientist, he later started NALA, which stands for Networked Artistic Learning Algorithm (算法). The company allows artists to upload works and choose their listing price. Gulak notes that not all art will sell. “If you’ re making rock paintings, there may not be a big market,” he said. “Artists may price their work higher than buyers are willing to pay, but the algorithm works to put art in front of the possible buyers based on style preferences and price points.” (作为计算机科学家，他后来创立了NALA(网络艺术学习算法)公司。该平台允许艺术家上传作品并自主定价。古拉克指出并非所有艺术品都能售出：“如果你创作的是岩石画，市场可能有限。艺术家或许会将作品定价高于买家心理预期，但算法能根据风格偏好与价格区间，将艺术品精准推送给潜在购买者。”)”可知，NALA主要帮助艺术家将艺术作品与合适的买家匹配。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Later, he brought Nofal to take part in World Art Dubai, an international art fair. The artist’s work was so well-received there. “When artists visit NALA, we discuss together, sharing ideas. These experiences also give me a unique view, pushing me to explore new partnerships and fresh projects.” Gulak said. (后来，他带Nofal参加了国际艺术博览会——迪拜世界艺术展。这位艺术家的作品在那里很受欢迎。“当艺术家们来到NALA，我们会共同探讨、交流创意。这些经历也赋予我独特视角，推动我不断探索新型合作与创新项目。”Gulak说)”可知，Gulak与像Nofal这样的艺术家的合作取得了成功，双方都从中受益，所以这是一个双赢的局面。故选B项。 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·山东烟台·期中）After high school, Maggie Doyne’s life took a meaningful turn. During a trip to Nepal, she met a girl whose life was destroyed by years of war. Deeply touched, she decided to stay and help kids like the girl. Her journey started small. In 2006, Maggie Doyne used the $5,000 she had made by working as a babysitter to buy an acre of land in Nepal, on which she built the Kopila Valley Children’s Home. Later, to support and expand her charitable work, Doyne founded BlinkNow Foundation. Her human-focused work soon became a global model for fighting poverty and driving development. 2015 brought both honor and bitterness to Doyne. She won that year’s CNN Hero of the Year for caring for and educating at-risk Nepali children, but soon her beloved son died in an accident. “The following years were about putting pieces back together and pulling through as a family,” she later said. Afterwards, Doyne found hope again. At a Los Angeles speaking meeting, she met Jeremy Power, a filmmaker who shared a passion for humanitarian causes and storytelling. They became partners both professionally and personally. Now married, they raise their biological kids in Nepal with the 93 other children. “It’s been a chapter of partnership and building this beautiful family,” Doyne said. Doyne’s Kopila Valley School has grown into a top-facility campus with modern tech, various classes, onsite daycare and a “Futures” program, which helps students in their readiness for college, professional training or careers. Her Kopila Valley Children’s Home is devoted to offering all-round services that address poverty at its roots (根源). “We’ve raised a generation of children who are now making a difference in the world,” she said. This year, Jeremy directed and filmed the documentary (纪录片) *Between the Mountain and the Sky* about Doyne, which shows the real, painful parts of her work — not just her “hero” side. “Undoubtedly, it lifts the curtain on what lies behind heroism,” she said. “By showing that imperfection, it’s inspired people in a way I never imagined.” 1.Where did the money to start Maggie’s first job in Nepal come from? A. Her childcare pay. B. Prize money from CNN. C. Local organizations’ support. D. Pocket money from her family. 2.What can we know about 2015 for Maggie Doyne? A. It marked a big career turning point. B. It was packed with positive surprises. C. It was an unusual and eventful year. D. It saw her quickly recover from sadness. 3.What does the “Futures” program focus on? A. Holding after-school activities. B. Solving the issue of student poverty. C. Preparing students for future development. D. Teaching students subject-based skills. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A. Maggie Doyne’s family story in Nepal. B. The painful choices of Maggie Doyne. C. The advancement of BlinkNow Foundation. D. Maggie Doyne’s humanitarian work in Nepal. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. C　4.

Two close friends have given an answer to the question: NO. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip, both at the age of 81, encouraged by Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in 80 Days, are on a task to see all seven continents (大洲) in just over two and a half months. Their first stop was a place that was not easily visited even by many experienced travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping (滑倒) and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild,” Hamby said. “But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable and amazing.” Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, and seen the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world.” When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too worried. “She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain... That’s fine. She’s living the life she wanted to live, and I’m happy for her,’” Hamby said. Hazelip hopes their story can encourage people of all ages. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Hazelip said. “Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ‘the world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page’. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort area, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.” 1.Which words can best describe Hamby and Hazelip’s journey to Antarctica? A. Relaxing but short. B. Boring and common. C. Well-planned and smooth. D. Adventurous but impressive. 2.What was the most unforgettable part of the trip for Hamby? A. Seeing amazing sights. B. Meeting wonderful people. C. Exploring unique cultures. D. Having her best friend’s company. 3.What was Louise’s attitude towards her mother’s journey? A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Anxious. 4.What message does Hazelip most want to tell readers? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. A friend for life is a friend indeed. C. Seeing the world is not a must for the old. D. It’s never too late to live life to the fullest. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·山东青岛第五十八中学·期中）Even at 80, Mei Jingtian still patrols (巡逻) the Shixiaguan part of the Great Wall. With over40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety. He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However, in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian (守护者), patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started. With Mei’s effort, the situation gradually picked up. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more villagers returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.” Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined. Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.” 1.What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall? A. The dream of being a hero. B. The influence of his friends. C. The poor condition of the Great Wall. D. Encouragement from the villagers. 2.What do the underlined words “picked up” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Improved. B. Appeared. C. Remained. D. Worsened. 3.Which of the following best describes Mei Jingtian? A. careful and confident. B. kind-hearted and humorous. C. creative and curious. D. responsible and strong-willed. 4.What does the text mainly talk about? A. A lifelong guardian of the Great Wall. B. Villagers’ deep love for the Great Wall. C. The progress in protecting the Great Wall. D. A Practical Great Wall protection program. 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·山东潍坊·期中）This is such a small thing but it meant so much to a boy like me. This happened when I was around 14 and in a really bad situation in my life — teenage hormones (荷尔蒙) mixed with a bad home life, sadness, anxiety and not having close friends left me quite lonely. We had woodworking classes on Thursdays then. I put a lot of time and hard work into our project. Once it was done, we could bring it home. Usually I would feel quite uncomfortable with others seeing what I had put work into, so I would hide it in my backpack, but this time our project was too big, so I had to carry it by hand. I was anxious someone would see it, so I tried my best to hide it with my body. But when I was putting on my jacket, I heard another student behind me talking to her friend about how cool my work was. She sounded truly impressed, and that was the first time I had felt seen in a positive way. I felt proud in a way I’d never felt before and it raised my self-confidence. I decided not to hide my project and I just felt so good about myself. Ever since then I’ve never had problems showing people things I’ve created. It didn’t clear away my anxiety but it made me feel good, like I was worth something, and it still brings a smile to my face to this day. I doubt that girl knew how much it meant to me. I don’t even think she knew I heard it, but her simply telling her friend that my project was cool helped me so much during my teenage years. Never underestimate (低估) the power of a simple, kind word. 1.What was the writer’s life like at 14? A. Struggling with study. B. Having no close friends. C. Being in poor health. D.

The question “Why don’t we just clean it up?” stayed in his mind, and led him to devote his high school science project to understanding the problem. After a year of experimenting, Boyan came up with the idea to use the ocean currents to his advantage, and let them be the driving force behind catching and collecting the plastic. Instead of going after the plastic, you could let the plastic come to you. Initially, his idea did not gain attention. He decided to quit his studies and founded The Ocean Cleanup, with just 300 euros of savings as a starting capital. Then one night in March 2013, things changed. He spoke on TEDx about this project. The TEDx video spread to hundreds of thousands of people. In a matter of days, an initial team was built, and it raised the first USD 90,000. The project took off. Their early models had their share of failures — plastic slipping through, parts breaking off in the ocean. But they kept at it. In 2019, System 001/B finally worked. Then came System 002, which in 2021 gathered 20,000 pounds of ocean waste. Now they launched the Interceptor: a solar-powered system designed to catch plastic in rivers before it reaches the ocean. So far, Interceptors have been used in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, and Los Angeles — with more on the way. Boyan Slat’s journey is a powerful reminder that innovation, passion, and determination can lead to significant change. His work to clean up the oceans has made a lasting impact on the world and serves as an inspiration for others to take action on environmental issues. 1.What inspired Boyan Slat to deal with plastic problems? A. A high school science project. B. An unpleasant diving experience. C. A cleanup research program. D. An experiment of ocean currents. 2.What is Boyan’s idea of the ocean cleanup? A. Catching plastics by scuba divers. B. Breaking down plastics in the sea. C. Trapping trash using ocean currents. D. Going after plastics with machines. 3.What was the turning point of the The Ocean Cleanup? A. The donated 300 euros to the project. B. Boyan’s presentation in a TEDx video. C. The successful launching of Interceptor. D. Boyan’s decision to drop out of school. 4.What can be learned from Boyan Slat’s story? A. Better late than never. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. A good beginning is half done. D.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·山东聊城·期中）Kevin Beard is my class instructor. I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talking, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment”. I realized his tears weren’t out of sadness, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (普通教育文凭), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally got an opportunity for a job. Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, the interviewers said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career. Kevin studied hard, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain”. Whenever Kevin took a test, he posted the results on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 1.Why was Kevin Beard in tears in the classroom? A.

Passage 3 （25-26高一上·山东德州·期中）Frank Caprio, a well-known judge from Providence, Rhode Island, passed away at the age of 88. He became famous across the United States for his kindness and mercy in the court, especially through his popular television show. Judge Caprio served as a local court judge for nearly 40 years before retiring in 2023. What made him special was his belief that a court should be a place of “kindness and mercy.” This made him very different from other judges who often appeared strict and cold-hearted. His show, Caught in Providence, made him a national celebrity later in his life. The program featured real cases from his court — breaking traffic rules, housing problems, and slight crimes. First shown on local television in 1986, the show gained widespread popularity after 2017 when cases were shared online, eventually reaching over 800 million views. One famous example of his mercy involved a 96-year-old man who received a speeding ticket. When Judge Caprio learned the man was driving his son to cancer treatment, he immediately cancelled the case. “Here you are in your 90s, and you’re still taking care of your family,” he told the man. “That’s just a wonderful thing.” Judge Caprio’s kindness came from his roots. He grew up in a poor Italian American family during the 1930s. His father worked as a milkman, and young Frank helped by shining shoes and delivering newspapers. He never forgot his father’s advice; “You can never forget where you came from.” Due to financial challenges, Judge Caprio worked as a teacher while studying law at night. He eventually became a judge known for understanding people’s struggles. The governor of Rhode Island praised him as “a symbol of consideration in the court.” His story continues to inspire people about how justice can be spread with humanity and understanding. 1.What makes Judge Caprio unique? A. Being famous at an early age. B. Putting himself in others’ shoes. C. Long career and strict rulings. D. Background from a poor family. 2.What does Caught in Providence focus on? A.

She went back home and opened her closet doors, seeing shoes piled up high. She headed to her mother’s closet next, literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes. Then she rushed to give them all away to the barefoot children. Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole (鞋底；脚掌) Warriors, a charity organization, with the motto “Donate a sole, save a soul”. Telephone calls from people who wanted to help came flooding in. For months, Sia stayed up till 2 a.m., contacting people and dealing with related affairs. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used footwear, repairs it and donates the finished products to people in need. In its first campaign, Sole Warriors gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number stands at around 28, 000, thanks to the hard work of a team of about 80 volunteers. But the organization’s growth wasn’t without its challenges. When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge, she faced one difficulty after another before finding India’s Pressto Cobler that would join her in the effort. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of bias because at my age, people were less willing to hear me out,” says Sia. In honor of her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, one of the greatest honours a young person can receive for social work. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 1.What can be inferred from the underlined part? A. There were various shoes in the closet. B. Sia’s home is not regularly cleaned. C. The shoes hadn’t been worn for a long time. D. Her mother’s closet was covered with dust. 2.Why did Sia set up Sole Warriors? A. To help repair some used shoes. B. To provide free shoes for those in need. C. To gain experience in leading a project. D. To encourage people to buy only what they need. 3.What challenge did Sia face in running the organization? A. The running costs were too high. B. She had difficulty finding a partner. C. Few people would donate shoes. D. Communicating ability prevented her. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Clothes do not make the man. B. Learn to walk before you run. C. Walk in someone else’s shoes. D. Life without difficulties is too dull. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·山东济南第一中学·期中）When I started my faculty position(教师职位), I was excited to be leading my own lab- and nervous. I’m deaf and rely on lip- reading for verbal communication. I had managed fine as a postdoc(博士后), though not without challenges. But leading a team was different. I had no idea whether I would be able to communicate effectively with my lab members. My pronunciation is sometimes off because of my disability, which leads some people to believe that I lack intelligence. But after almost 2 years in the position, I’ ve come up with a set of solutions to help me out. In addition to regular one- on- one meetings with my students, I decided to have each student work with me for entire days in the lab when they first join my group. That way, they can see what I’m doing and ask questions as we go along. And time with the students allows me to carefully explain the principle behind each experimental step. I also established written communication as the most important way to exchange information. Through instant messaging services, I can quickly reach out to my students and share ideas, materials and links. Before they get going with any experiment, I ask them to write a detailed protocol(实验计划) as well, which has allowed me to double- check whenever I spot something that I must have missed during our verbal discussions. At first, I feared my students would feel that writing out all of their experimental design steps and data analysis plans was unnecessary. But they’ve told me this step allows them to deepen their understanding of the project before starting experiments. I’m still early in my faculty career, but I feel these strategies are working well for me. I no longer worry that I’m missing important information. And I’ve been able to guide students in a way that would have been difficult for me to do through verbal communication alone. Looking back, I wish I’d followed these strategies earlier in my career. 1.What was the author’s concern at the beginning of his faculty position? A. He couldn’t get along with others. B. He had insufficient work experience. C. He couldn’t focus on scientific research. D. He would suffer communication problems. 2.Which of the following shows the author’s efforts to improve his teaching effect? A. Encouraging communication in various ways. B. Strengthening students’ interest in science. C. Connecting students whenever possible. D. Asking students to learn lip- reading. 3.What was the result of the students’ writing down protocols? A. It practiced their writing skills. B. It slowed down the project process. C. It benefited both the author and the students. D. It inspired them to come up with new ideas. 4.What is the author’s tone(语气) at the end of the text? A. Surprised. B. Confident. C. Regretful. D. Anxious. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·山东泰安第一中学·期中）One tap of my stick, and the buffalo (水牛) moved forward. I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes. The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward. I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper. One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university. Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course. 1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present the author’s dream. B. To show the author’s daily life. C. To describe the author’s village. D. To introduce the author’s background. 2.Who played a key role in the author’s childhood? A. His father. B. His uncle. C.

Two heads are better than one. D. One cannot be in two places at once. 主题语境01 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·山东济南外国语学校·期中）In the Pacific Northwest during winter, 5:15 a.m. might be the dead of night. The alarm goes off and the only light is the red glow from my clock. My body says, “Go back to bed.” But I don’t. I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers. If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work. Then, last fall I reconnected with an old friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. I asked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape. The first two months were especially hard, because we ran twice a week at 5:15 a.m. and I slept till 7:00 the other mornings. But as I’ve adjusted to the routine of running, I’ve discovered great joys that make it even more worthwhile than a little weight loss. While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of my day is more productive. I wouldn’t say I’ve become a morning person, but I would say morning running is now my thing. 1.What can we know about the author from paragraph 1? A. 5:15 a.m. is the best time for her to exercise. B. She prefers to run alone without any company. C. She goes for a run despite the cold and early rise. D.

Supportive. 3.What made the author begin to run in the morning? A. Her partner’s encouragement. B. Her friend’s suggestion. C. Realizing the harm of being fat. D. Realizing the benefits of running. 4.What effect does morning running have on the author? A. She has become slim again. B. She has become more energetic. C. She has become more confident. D. She has become more imaginative. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·山东实验中学·期中）Growing up in Canada, Benjamin Gulak took part in science fairs from a young age. Drawing had also been a part of Gulak’s life, and he even did an abroad program of fine arts study in Italy during high school. Driven to try selling his art, he worked with some leading art galleries (画廊) in London and Miami. Over time, he began connecting artists he’d met on travels from developing markets like Cuba, Egypt, and Brazil to the gallery owners he knew. “The results were amazing because these artists were used to selling their work to tourists for $50, and suddenly they’re hanging work in a high-end gallery and getting 5,000 pounds,” Gulak said. “It was the same artist but different buyers. Traditional galleries usually act as gatekeepers. Their picky selection (挑剔的选择) process is why many galleries usually show similar artists’ works. There are plenty of creative minds out there whose great art has never been seen outside of the local market.” For a class project at college, Gulak built a system that tried to guess the types of art that would do well in a gallery. As a computer scientist, he later started NALA, which stands for Networked Artistic Learning Algorithm (算法). The company allows artists to upload works and choose their listing price. Gulak notes that not all art will sell. “If you’re making rock paintings, there may not be a big market,” he said. “Artists may price their work higher than buyers are willing to pay, but the algorithm works to put art in front of the possible buyers based on style preferences and price points.” Gulak was once visiting Egypt when he discovered a beautiful painting on the street. Gulak found a local artist, Ahmed Nofal, and bought some works. Later, he brought Nofal to take part in World Art Dubai, an international art fair. The artist’s work was so well-received there. “When artists visit NALA, we discuss together, sharing ideas. These experiences also give me a unique view, pushing me to explore new partnerships and fresh projects.” Gulak said. 1.What do we know about Benjamin Gulak? A. He prefers digital art to science. B. He has a rich artistic background. C. He supported himself in several ways. D. He found creative ideas through travels. 2.What does Gulak say about traditional galleries? A. They aim at wealthy art collectors. B. They have influenced popular art styles. C. They leave many talented artists unnoticed. D. They slow down international art exchanges. 3.How does NALA mainly benefit the artists? A. By providing training in art marketing. B. By setting higher prices for their works. C. By getting their art into famous galleries. D. By matching artworks with suitable buyers. 4.What does Gulak suggest about his partnership with artists like Nofal? A. It is a difficult process. B. It is a win-win situation. C. It is a short-term success. D. It makes NALA well known. 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·山东烟台·期中）After high school, Maggie Doyne’s life took a meaningful turn. During a trip to Nepal, she met a girl whose life was destroyed by years of war. Deeply touched, she decided to stay and help kids like the girl. Her journey started small. In 2006, Maggie Doyne used the $5,000 she had made by working as a babysitter to buy an acre of land in Nepal, on which she built the Kopila Valley Children’s Home. Later, to support and expand her charitable work, Doyne founded BlinkNow Foundation. Her human-focused work soon became a global model for fighting poverty and driving development. 2015 brought both honor and bitterness to Doyne. She won that year’s CNN Hero of the Year for caring for and educating at-risk Nepali children, but soon her beloved son died in an accident. “The following years were about putting pieces back together and pulling through as a family,” she later said. Afterwards, Doyne found hope again. At a Los Angeles speaking meeting, she met Jeremy Power, a filmmaker who shared a passion for humanitarian causes and storytelling. They became partners both professionally and personally. Now married, they raise their biological kids in Nepal with the 93 other children. “It’s been a chapter of partnership and building this beautiful family,” Doyne said. Doyne’s Kopila Valley School has grown into a top-facility campus with modern tech, various classes, onsite daycare and a “Futures” program, which helps students in their readiness for college, professional training or careers. Her Kopila Valley Children’s Home is devoted to offering all-round services that address poverty at its roots (根源). “We’ve raised a generation of children who are now making a difference in the world,” she said. This year, Jeremy directed and filmed the documentary (纪录片) *Between the Mountain and the Sky* about Doyne, which shows the real, painful parts of her work — not just her “hero” side. “Undoubtedly, it lifts the curtain on what lies behind heroism,” she said. “By showing that imperfection, it’s inspired people in a way I never imagined.” 1.Where did the money to start Maggie’s first job in Nepal come from? A. Her childcare pay. B. Prize money from CNN. C. Local organizations’ support. D. Pocket money from her family. 2.What can we know about 2015 for Maggie Doyne? A.
