专题03 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·山东菏泽·期中）Sergio Peralta was nervous on his first day of school at Hendersonville High School near Nashville, Tennessee. At 15 years old, he was the new kid and was particularly concerned about what his schoolmates would think of his right hand, which had never fully formed. He wanted to hide it in his sleeve (袖子), so nobody would find out. However, his classmates supported him in a way he never expected. Jeff Wilkins, the school’s engineering teacher, approached Peralta to let him know that his classmates were willing to help. With Wilkins’ guidance, the engineering students designed and created a prosthetic (假体的) hand together using 3D printing technology. The process involved researching various types of prosthetics, obtaining materials, and accurately measuring their classmate’s arm for the perfect fit. The students devoted after-school hours to bringing their idea to life. After four weeks, their project was complete. “They ended up offering to build my prosthetic hand, and I never expected it,” Peralta told CBS News. The new hand allowed him to perform tasks such as writing and holding objects easily. Student Leslie Jaramillo commented on the project, noting that it reflected the spirit of their engineering class they were taught. “You’re supposed to come up with new ideas and solve problems together,” he said. “Just make things better than how they used to be.” For the first time in his 15 years, Peralta was able to catch a baseball with his right hand — something that excited his classmates. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone started looking excited,” Peralta said, smiling. “It was the first time that I caught a ball with my right hand in my 15 years.” The prosthesis created by Hendersonville High School’s students had changed Peralta’s life and gave him something to be proud of. This story shows the power of kindness and the impact it can have on a person’s life. It also tells us the importance of having a supportive network of people, who’re willing to go the extra mile to make a difference. 1.Why was Sergio Peralta nervous on the first day of school? A. He didn’t like the school uniform. B. He feared the school’s strict rules. C. He was worried about being laughed at. D. He was worried about making new friends. 2.How did the engineering students help Sergio Peralta? A. They helped him with his schoolwork. B. They taught him to use his hand better. C. They donated money for a prosthetic hand. D. They built a 3D-printed prosthetic hand for him. 3.What might play an important role in the success of the project? A. Teamwork. B. Confidence. C. Luck. D. Honesty. 4.Why was catching a baseball significant for Sergio Peralta? A. His teacher rewarded him with a prize. B. The ball was bought by his classmates. C. It was his first time to use his right hand. D. It proved that he could join the school team. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·山东青岛第二中学·期中）In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market. Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman. “My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.” There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and Cure Search that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous.” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heart-brokenly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’” Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families. 1.Why did Handler create Barbie? A. To make a hit in the retail market. B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits. C. To do a project on women’s career choices. D. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish. 2.How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie? A. Heartbroken and regretful. B. Envious yet proud. C. Sad yet comforted. D. Overwhelmed and ashamed. 3.What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family? A. A secret medium of negotiation. B. A reliable emotional support. C. An effective practical treatment. D. A glue for broken relationships. 4.Where is the text probably taken from? A. A story collection. B. A charity brochure. C. A financial report. D. A medical journal. 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·山东青岛第十九中学·期中）“It was written in some sense,” Sophie Blake, a physics professor, would end up in observational cosmology — the study of the origin and development of the universe using specialized telescopes. “I’m not going to lie. My father was a physicist. My mother’s an astronomer. But no kid wants to be like their parents,” she jokes, semi-seriously. Blake always enjoyed building things like a child engineer. It wasn’t unusual for her to experiment with her father’s research equipment. She thanks, in part, her short attention period for her inquisitiveness, “I am always looking for something.” For the last few years, Blake has been searching for signs of the universe’s early existence — from the birth of the first stars to the “cosmic (宇宙的) dark ages” — and she’s building her own equipment to explore beyond the known universe, focusing on its distant past with novel radio technology. Since 2017, Blake and her team have been engineering and planting radio telescopes in two of the Earth’s most remote (and quietest) locations for the best shot at hearing the earliest voice of the universe. Initially, Blake planned a PhD in particle (粒子) physics but switched direction after a visit to a lab with messy equipment and tools everywhere at the California Institute of Technology. “I didn’t know about observational cosmology then but thought, ‘Whatever this is, I want to do that.’” She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne microwave telescope launched from McMurdo. “That really inspired my love for remote places,” she said. Eventually, she wanted to engineer her own instruments. After her year at the South Pole, she joined the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. At that time, the site decision was made for the largest radio telescope group on Earth. “This was also a leap of faith because I really couldn’t continue the work I was doing before.” Blake recalls. “I had never done radio before but I thought, ‘Let me give this a try and see how it goes.’” 1.What can we infer from Blake’s joke in paragraph 1? A. She follows in her parents’ footsteps. B. She develops an interest in telescopes. C. She lies about her parents’ professions. D. She lives up to her parents’ expectations. 2.What does the underlined word “inquisitiveness” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Talent. B. Courage. C. Curiosity. D. Intelligence. 3.What stimulated Blake’s passion for distant places? A. Her visit to a lab in a university. B. Her wish to build her own equipment. C. Her faith in hearing the cosmic sound. D. Her experience at a South Pole Station. 4.Which of the following best describes Blake? A. Confident and caring. B. Generous and optimistic. C. Modest and open-minded. D. Adventurous and determined. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·山东淄博实验中学·期中）We sat at a riverside restaurant on the Willamette River, enjoying spaghetti and watching Christmas boats pass. “Isn’t this the best evening ever?” I said, grasping my husband’s hand. We seldom ate out, and the sight of the festive boats added a touch of magic. Smiling and chatting, we stretched the dinner out to nearly two hours, ending it with shared chocolate cake. I almost danced to get my coat — a black wool one given to me by my daughter. I reached for the only black coat on the rack (架子) and put it on. Wait, what? It reached below my ankle, not my knee. And I guessed it to be a size 16, not my 8. Blinking back tears, I left my number with the hostess, sure the mix-up would soon be corrected. But no call came that night, nor the next day. Heartick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting. Months later, another freezing night, my husband and I were getting ready to go to friends for dinner. I pulled the coat off its hanger, pursing my lips about my lost coat. “Wow” Penny, an old friend, exclaimed as soon as we walked in. “Very classic,” said Missy, the hostess. I arched am eyebrow. “You’re kidding. It’s four sizes too big.” I nearly launched into the whole story, but their words stopped me. For the first time I looked at the coat more carefully and noticed the fine label. I frowned. Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition? Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge. The following week, the temperature dropped sharply. As I gathered this altered coat to step into the car, I recalled the coat my daughter gave me, but this one was nearly as warm — and, as Missy said, a classic. Now I wear it with pleasure. 1.What can be inferred about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She valued the family time. B. She led a luxurious lifestyle. C. She performed a dance that day. D. She was dissatisfied at the service. 2.How did she feel when she found the coat mix-up? A. Angry and regretful. B. Calm and grateful. C. Depressed but hopeful. D. Confused but unconcerned. 3.What mainly led to her decision to have the coat adjusted? A. The advice from her friends. B. The reflection deep in her heart. C. The free service from a woman. D. The dramatic drop of temperature. 4.What does she intend to convey through the story? A. Don’t cry over spilt milk. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·山东淄博·期中）Virginia “Ginger” Hislop, 105, recently walked the stage at Stanford University to receive her master’s degree in education for the coursework she completed in 1941. A smiling Hislop rose to an ovation (鼓掌) on June 16 as she received her degree and master’s hood at the university’s Graduate School of Education diploma ceremony while her family, including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, cheered her on. Hislop, a native of Palo Alto, California, earned her bachelor’s degree in education in 1940 from Stanford’s then-School of Education with the plan of earning a master’s degree so she could begin teaching. She was stimulated for an education career by her grandmother, who was a pre-Civil War educator in Kansas, and her aunt, who served as headmaster of a West Los Angeles school. However, her boyfriend at the time, George Hislop, was called to serve in World War II, so the two got married and Virginia Hislop left Stanford after completing her coursework but before handing in her thesis (论文). Her decision to put obtaining her master’s degree on hold did not pause her commitment to education. Hislop has served on the Yakima School Board of Directors, is a founding board of directors member of Yakima Community College and served for 20 years on the board of Heritage University in Toppenish, Washington. “I think I did good things for our local school system and I helped broaden it out,” she told Stanford University. “For me, this degree is an appreciation of the many years I’ve put in working for the schools in the Yakima area and on different boards.” “I felt that all the kids should have an opportunity to develop their potential as best they could, and that everybody should have a crack at higher education if they wanted,” Hislop said. 1.What happened to Hislop at Stanford University on June 16? A. She completed her master’s thesis. B. She received her master’s degree in education. C. She was praised for her service in education. D.

Passage 3 （25-26高二上·山东师范大学附属中学·期中）On the third day of school, my teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my way to a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem hopeless, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed her own career and life for my opportunities, and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began. “Eighty percent is schoolwork, and twenty percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier selling ice-cream, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest at night won’t ever break. My routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms. 1.What does the underlined word “catalyst” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Foundation. B. Solution. C. Symbol. D. Cause. 2.What does the mother attach most importance to? A. The author’s overall well-being. B. The sacrifice for her daughter. C. The score of the author’s exam. D.

To illustrate a bond between the author and her mother. D. To explain a link to the author’s academic performance. 4.What’s the author’s attitude towards her future? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Pessimistic. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高二上·山东潍坊·期中）“Ideas can come from anywhere,” famous author Rashmi Bansal once wrote, “You could be sitting in a bus or at your dining table and have a eureka moment.” For 14-year-old Sirish Subash, his “eureka moment” came at the kitchen sink (水槽). “My parents always insist that I wash my produce before eating it. I wondered how necessary it was and how effective the washing was,” said Subash. “Does it really work to make sure your produce is clean?” That led him to a deep exploration into the world of pesticide use. He was shocked by the results. Research found that 70% of produce in the United States has pesticide residues (农药残留) that may be linked to health issues like cancer. Additionally, washing fruits and vegetables only removes some of these residues. “The current methods of detecting pesticides, designed for at-home use, typically require cutting up the produce, and that results in the produce uneatable,” Subash explained. This motivated him to create Pestiscand, an AI-based handheld pesticide detector. Pestiscand works through spectrophotometry, a way measuring how light of different wavelengths reflects off the surface of produce. Subash tested his device on over 12,000 samples (样品), including apples, strawberries and tomatoes, to adjust its accuracy. By analyzing the light data, Pestiscand’s AI model can identify the wavelengths associated with pesticide residues, achieving a remarkable detection accuracy of over 85%. This high accuracy meets Subash’s goal of ensuring both effectiveness and speed in detecting pesticides. Subash hopes to bring Pestiscand to market by the time he enters college, allowing people to have an affordable, easy-to-use tool to help make safer food choices. While Subash isn’t sure where life will take him next, he is sure of his love for science — particularly physics. 1.What do the underlined words “a eureka moment” in paragraph 1 mean? A. An outline of a book. B. A sudden inspiration. C. An awkward occasion. D. A drive of quick action. 2.What disadvantage does Subash think the current pesticide-detection methods have? A. High cost. B. Risk of injury C. Poor design. D. Damage to produce. 3.What can we learn about Pestiscand? A. It relies on light analysis. B. It has a small sample size. C. It ensures absolute accuracy. D. It is based on a chemical test. 4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Passion motivates creation. B. Pesticand is an instant success. C. Food safety is a serious concern. D. Experience promotes excellence. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·山东德州·期中）Makaran hated piano lessons she took as a child. It amused her that she found second-career success as a DJ a decade ago, playing tunes for MTV and other clients. “I was playing music for people, watching them forget their stress and worries and just be present on the dance floor,” says Makaran. “I never thought of music for my own healing until I really needed it.” Ten years ago, Makaran developed cancer. Following drug therapy (疗法) and surgery, her best hope of remaining cancer-free depended largely on Heresquin, an effective anticancer medicine. But after a few rounds, Makaran proved allergic (过敏物) — and there was no alternative. Makaran asked her doctor, “What should I do?” He responded simply, “Be happy.” Initially she couldn’t believe it, but then she understood, “If I can manage my stress and my emotions, I would have the best chance of surviving, even though I was taken off treatment.” Then she began to explore how music could help her heal. “Music therapy can help manage cancer-related symptoms and anxieties as effectively as traditional therapies,” according to a study. The study involved seven weeks of therapy combining talk, music and songwriting. During sessions, trained therapists might help put a patient’s words or feelings to a song, co-write a tune, or simply listen. Makaran sometimes wrote songs to express her emotions, or just sang along. The population of cancer survivors has increased in recent decades to 18.6 million people in America alone. Dr. Kevin Lion says there is a greater need for varied therapies to improve their quality of life. “We want a wide range of tools to better personalize treatments,” he says. The next phase of research is to look at the characteristics of patients likely to benefit from music therapy. 1.How did Makaran initially feel about music? A. Enthusiastic. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Doubtful. 2.What did Makaran realize after her doctor’s advice? A. Doctors hold all the keys. B. Mental wellness helps recovery. C. Music alone holds magic. D. Medical treatment is needless. 3.What can we infer about music therapy from paragraph 3? A. It features multiple methods. B. It requires specific musical skills. C. It is primarily based on writing songs. D. It is more effective than traditional ones. 4.Why do the researchers study the characteristics of patients? A. To train better therapists. B. To shape their taste in music. C. To improve the quality of tools. D. To tailor therapy to specific needs. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高二上·山东菏泽第一中学·期中）In the 15th century, in a small village near Nuremberg, there lived a family with eighteen children. To provide for them, the father, a goldsmith (金匠), worked almost eighteen hours a day at his shop and took on any extra work he could find. Despite their hopeless condition, two of the eldest children had a dream. They both wanted to pursue their talent for art, but they knew well that their father would never be able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study in the academy. After many discussions, the two boys came up with a plan. They would toss (投掷) a coin. The loser would work in the nearby mines to support the other brother, who would attend the academy. When the winner finished his study, he would help the other one by selling art or working in the mines if necessary. Albrecht Dürer, the winner, went to Nuremberg to study, while his brother, Albert, worked in the mines. For the next four years, Albert funded his brother’s education. By the time Albrecht graduated, his works were considered better than many of his professors’. When the young artist returned to his village, the family celebrated with a festive dinner. At the end of the meal, Albrecht stood to toast his brother, saying, “Now, Albert, it’s your turn to pursue your dream.” With tears on his face, Albert shook his head. He looked at the faces he loved, and then quietly said, “No, brother. It’s too late for me. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, let alone a pen or a brush.” Over 450 years later, Albrecht Dürer’s artworks were shown and admired in museums all over the world. Among all these works, one got particularly famous because of the story behind it. Albrecht named his powerful drawing simply The Praying Hands. He painted his brother’s hands which were abused and thin, but supported him in his time of need. 1.Why couldn’t the father send both sons to the academy? A. He disliked art. B. The sons refused to go. C. The family was too poor. D. The academy rejected them. 2.How did Albert support his brother’s education? A. He worked at a local shop. B. He borrowed money from friends. C. He worked in the mines for four years. D. He sold his art to fund Albrecht’s study. 3.What does the underlined word “abused” in paragraph 6 refer to? A. Rarely used. B. Badly injured. C. Skillfully drawn. D. Beautifully shaped. 4.What might be the image of Albert in Albrecht’s mind according to the text? A. The family’s source of income. B. The artist who wasted his talent. C. The base of his own achievement. D. The symbol of suffering caused by bad luck. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高二上·山东济南第一中学·期中）Winning a remarkable science award is really a big deal, especially if you are 12 years old. But Shanya Gill, a middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, as stated in the press release. “The top winners have exhibited boundless curiosity,” Maya Ajmera, president and CEO of Society for Science, said in the press release.”Their remarkable research not only reflects their talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future. Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported The Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before”, she told The Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down, ” she added. After she studied fire statistics, Shanya spent over a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could have prevented the fire. Unlike traditional smoke detectors that sense active fires from the smoke in the air, Shanya’s thermal (热的) imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring. With a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer, the device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message warning. Creating the prototype (原型) was difficult and the hardest part was the programming. I had two designs, and my first design completely failed. “ It was a really big challenge I had to go through, ” she said. The final device outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy. Shanya wants to bring the costs down to make it even more common than previous smoke detectors. “Shanya saw a problem, went after it and tried to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage with all young people, ” said Ajmera. She also highlighted the significance of supporting individuals, especially girls and kids of color, in STEM fields, as research indicates that many young people drop out of these areas. 1.What can we learn about Shanya from the first two paragraphs? A. She created an important platform for her peers. B. She demonstrated her curious nature as a student. C. She earned a large amount of money from the award. D. She was younger than the other winners in performance. 2.What inspired Shanya to develop her fire detection system? A. Her experience with a destructive fire. B. Her ambition to win the science award. C. Her interest in computer programming. D. Her aim to enhance STEM education for girls. 3.What is an advantage of Shanya’s invention? A. It can issue a warning about a potential fire. B. It consists of two parts that are easier to manage. C. It can detect active fires through smoke in the air. D. It operates when a fire breaks out within ten minutes. 4.Which can be the best title for the passage? A. An Advocate for STEM Education B. An Award Winner of Cooking Safety C. A Young Innovator in Fire Detecting D. A Junior Creator of a New Smoke Detector 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·山东实验中学·期中）Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s middle-grade trilogy (三部曲). He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He tearfully asked me. The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island’s creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧) and joy. When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully convince him. Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects. We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas- not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents, hope and despair. And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel. 1.What drove the author to read The Wild Robot? A. Its tragic ending. B. Henry’s tearful recommendation. C. Its attractive cover. D. Henry’s emotional response to it. 2.What is one theme of The Wild Robol Protects? A. Family and community. B. Concerns of global issues. C. Exploration of the ocean. D. Man-robot relationship. 3.What makes Roz in the trilogy special? A. Her childlike expressions. B. Her robotic power. C. Her struggling experiences. D. Her adventurous spirit. 4.Which message does this text seem to communicate? A. Misfortune inspires great literary works. B. Robot stories work like magic on children. C. Book discussions help kids survive tragedies. D. Reading literature facilitates personal growth. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题03阅读理解（记叙文） 基础必练 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.D3.A4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.C3.B4.A 主题语境02人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.A2.C3.D4.D 进阶提升 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.C3.B4D Passage 2 【答案】1.B2.D3.D4.D Passage 3 【答案】1.D2.A3.A4.B 主题语境02人与社会-科学与技术 【答案】1.B2.D3.A4.A 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 112 可学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 【答案】1.C2.B3.A4.D 拓展培优 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1.C2.C3.B4C 主题语境02人与社会-科学与技术 【答案】1.B2.A3.A4.C 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.D2.B3.C4.D 212 专题03 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·山东菏泽·期中）Sergio Peralta was nervous on his first day of school at Hendersonville High School near Nashville, Tennessee.

With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market. Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman. “My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.” There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and Cure Search that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous.” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heart-brokenly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’” Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families. 1.Why did Handler create Barbie? A. To make a hit in the retail market. B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits. C. To do a project on women’s career choices. D. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish. 2.How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie? A. Heartbroken and regretful. B. Envious yet proud. C. Sad yet comforted. D. Overwhelmed and ashamed. 3.What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family? A. A secret medium of negotiation. B. A reliable emotional support. C. An effective practical treatment. D. A glue for broken relationships. 4.Where is the text probably taken from? A. A story collection. B. A charity brochure. C. A financial report. D. A medical journal. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Handler创造芭比娃娃的初衷，以及其中一个名为Brave Barbie的洋娃娃对一个癌症女孩的帮助。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices.(她想要一个能让女孩们在其中寄托未来梦想的玩偶，并且这个玩偶还应该具备无限的服饰选择和职业发展可能性)”和第三段““My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”(Handler在其自传中写道：“我个人对于芭比娃娃的理念是，通过这个玩偶，小女孩可以成为她想成为的任何角色。芭比娃娃始终代表着这样一个事实：女性是有选择余地的。”)”可推知，Handler创造Barbie的目的是让激励女孩根据自己的意愿做出选择。故选D。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous.” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heart-brokenly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’”(“给女儿送一个患有癌症的芭比娃娃真是太棒了。”一位癌症康复者米歇尔说道，“我们会一起玩那个芭比娃娃，而我则会伤心地看着她假装带着这个娃娃去医院接受化疗，或者把它的长假发戴在娃娃的头上，然后对娃娃说‘是时候重新变得美丽了。’”)”可推知，Michelle看到女儿和Brave Barbie一起感到欣慰的同时也很难过。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family.

My father was a physicist. My mother’s an astronomer. But no kid wants to be like their parents,” she jokes, semi-seriously. Blake always enjoyed building things like a child engineer. It wasn’t unusual for her to experiment with her father’s research equipment. She thanks, in part, her short attention period for her inquisitiveness, “I am always looking for something.” For the last few years, Blake has been searching for signs of the universe’s early existence — from the birth of the first stars to the “cosmic (宇宙的) dark ages” — and she’s building her own equipment to explore beyond the known universe, focusing on its distant past with novel radio technology. Since 2017, Blake and her team have been engineering and planting radio telescopes in two of the Earth’s most remote (and quietest) locations for the best shot at hearing the earliest voice of the universe. Initially, Blake planned a PhD in particle (粒子) physics but switched direction after a visit to a lab with messy equipment and tools everywhere at the California Institute of Technology. “I didn’t know about observational cosmology then but thought, ‘Whatever this is, I want to do that.’” She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne microwave telescope launched from McMurdo. “That really inspired my love for remote places,” she said. Eventually, she wanted to engineer her own instruments. After her year at the South Pole, she joined the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. At that time, the site decision was made for the largest radio telescope group on Earth. “This was also a leap of faith because I really couldn’t continue the work I was doing before.” Blake recalls. “I had never done radio before but I thought, ‘Let me give this a try and see how it goes.’” 1.What can we infer from Blake’s joke in paragraph 1? A. She follows in her parents’ footsteps. B. She develops an interest in telescopes. C. She lies about her parents’ professions. D. She lives up to her parents’ expectations. 2.What does the underlined word “inquisitiveness” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Talent. B. Courage. C. Curiosity. D. Intelligence. 3.What stimulated Blake’s passion for distant places? A. Her visit to a lab in a university. B. Her wish to build her own equipment. C. Her faith in hearing the cosmic sound. D. Her experience at a South Pole Station. 4.Which of the following best describes Blake? A. Confident and caring. B. Generous and optimistic. C. Modest and open-minded. D. Adventurous and determined. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述Sophie Blake改变研究方向——从粒子物理学转向宇宙观测学——的经历和之后在该领域所做相关研究工作。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段““It was written in some sense,” Sophie Blake, a physics professor, would end up in observational cosmology—the study of the origin and development of the universe using specialized telescopes. “I’m not going to lie. My father was a physicist. My mother’s an astronomer. But no kid wants to be like their parents,” she jokes, semi-seriously.(物理学教授索菲·布莱克最终选择了观测宇宙学——用专门的望远镜研究宇宙的起源和发展——“从某种意义上说，它是写出来的。”“我不想撒谎。我父亲是个物理学家。我妈妈是天文学家。但没有孩子想要像他们的父母一样，”她半严肃地开玩笑说)”可知，布莱克最终还是继承了父母的事业，成为了宇宙学家。故选A。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I am always looking for something.(我总是在寻找一些东西)”可知，她总是寻找一些东西，说明充满好奇心，故划线部分单词意思为“好奇心”。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段“She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne microwave telescope launched from McMurdo. “That really inspired my love for remote places,” she said.(她在阿蒙森-斯科特南极站呆了一年，在那里进行了从麦克默多发射的气球载微波望远镜的实验。“这真的激发了我对偏远地区的热爱，”她说)”可知，在南极站的经历激发了布莱克对远方的热情。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段““I didn’t know about observational cosmology then but thought, ‘Whatever this is, I want to do that.’”(“当时我还不知道观测宇宙学，但我想，‘不管这是什么，我都想做。’”)”可知，Blake 是一个坚决果断的人；根据最后一段““I had never done radio before but I thought, ‘Let me give this a try and see how it goes.’”(“我以前从来没有做过广播，但我想，‘让我试一试，看看会怎么样。’”)”可知，她还是一个有冒险精神、敢于尝试新鲜事物的人。 故选D。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·山东淄博实验中学·期中）We sat at a riverside restaurant on the Willamette River, enjoying spaghetti and watching Christmas boats pass. “Isn’t this the best evening ever?” I said, grasping my husband’s hand. We seldom ate out, and the sight of the festive boats added a touch of magic. Smiling and chatting, we stretched the dinner out to nearly two hours, ending it with shared chocolate cake. I almost danced to get my coat — a black wool one given to me by my daughter. I reached for the only black coat on the rack (架子) and put it on. Wait, what? It reached below my ankle, not my knee. And I guessed it to be a size 16, not my 8. Blinking back tears, I left my number with the hostess, sure the mix-up would soon be corrected. But no call came that night, nor the next day. Heartick, I hung the too big coat in the closet, still waiting. Months later, another freezing night, my husband and I were getting ready to go to friends for dinner. I pulled the coat off its hanger, pursing my lips about my lost coat. “Wow” Penny, an old friend, exclaimed as soon as we walked in. “Very classic,” said Missy, the hostess. I arched am eyebrow. “You’re kidding. It’s four sizes too big.” I nearly launched into the whole story, but their words stopped me. For the first time I looked at the coat more carefully and noticed the fine label. I frowned. Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was positive instead of negative about my unplanned acquisition? Instead of complaining, I asked myself what I needed to do with this coat in order to enjoy it. I had it altered by a woman from church free of charge. The following week, the temperature dropped sharply. As I gathered this altered coat to step into the car, I recalled the coat my daughter gave me, but this one was nearly as warm — and, as Missy said, a classic. Now I wear it with pleasure. 1.What can be inferred about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She valued the family time. B. She led a luxurious lifestyle. C. She performed a dance that day. D. She was dissatisfied at the service. 2.How did she feel when she found the coat mix-up? A. Angry and regretful. B. Calm and grateful. C. Depressed but hopeful. D. Confused but unconcerned. 3.What mainly led to her decision to have the coat adjusted? A. The advice from her friends. B. The reflection deep in her heart. C. The free service from a woman. D. The dramatic drop of temperature. 4.What does she intend to convey through the story? A. Don’t cry over spilt milk. B. Never judge a book by its cover. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. B　4.

This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my way to a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem hopeless, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed her own career and life for my opportunities, and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began. “Eighty percent is schoolwork, and twenty percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier selling ice-cream, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest at night won’t ever break. My routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms. 1.What does the underlined word “catalyst” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Foundation. B. Solution. C. Symbol. D. Cause. 2.What does the mother attach most importance to? A. The author’s overall well-being. B. The sacrifice for her daughter. C. The score of the author’s exam. D. The author’s devotion to schoolwork. 3.Why does the author mention “rubber band”? A. To show a shift in the author’s view on pressure. B. To express a conflict with her mother about goals. C. To illustrate a bond between the author and her mother. D. To explain a link to the author’s academic performance. 4.What’s the author’s attitude towards her future? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Pessimistic. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因学业压力、父亲期待及红十字会申请被拒陷入崩溃，在母亲开导下转变心态、积极面对未来的故事。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. This rejection made my future seem hopeless, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.(导致我崩溃的最后一个catalyst，是来自地区红十字青年理事会的意外拒绝。这次拒绝让我的未来看起来毫无希望，我像一根被拉过极限的橡皮筋一样崩溃了。)”可知，红十字会的拒绝是压垮作者的起因，引发了她的崩溃。因此，“catalyst”意为“起因、诱因”，与“Cause”同义。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.(但最重要的是，百分之百重要的是你的心理健康。)”和第四段中的“Nothing is more important than your health.(没有什么比你的健康更重要。)”可知，母亲最看重的是作者的整体健康状况（包括心理健康）。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.(我像一根被拉过极限的橡皮筋一样崩溃了)”和第五段中的“I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest at night won’t ever break.(我意识到橡皮筋不必一直紧绷着。一根白天扎头发、晚上能休息的橡皮筋永远不会断。)”可知，作者最初用“紧绷到断裂的橡皮筋”比喻自己承受的巨大压力，后来在母亲开导下，明白压力需要调节、不必一直紧绷，体现了她对压力看法的转变。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid.(我的日常依然不变——努力学习，追求卓越。对失败的恐惧失去了力量。我仍然在追逐月亮，但我不再害怕了。)”可知，作者虽然仍在追求高标准，但已不再畏惧失败，对未来抱有积极的态度。故选B项。 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高二上·山东潍坊·期中）“Ideas can come from anywhere,” famous author Rashmi Bansal once wrote, “You could be sitting in a bus or at your dining table and have a eureka moment.” For 14-year-old Sirish Subash, his “eureka moment” came at the kitchen sink (水槽). “My parents always insist that I wash my produce before eating it. I wondered how necessary it was and how effective the washing was,” said Subash. “Does it really work to make sure your produce is clean?” That led him to a deep exploration into the world of pesticide use. He was shocked by the results. Research found that 70% of produce in the United States has pesticide residues (农药残留) that may be linked to health issues like cancer. Additionally, washing fruits and vegetables only removes some of these residues. “The current methods of detecting pesticides, designed for at-home use, typically require cutting up the produce, and that results in the produce uneatable,” Subash explained. This motivated him to create Pestiscand, an AI-based handheld pesticide detector. Pestiscand works through spectrophotometry, a way measuring how light of different wavelengths reflects off the surface of produce. Subash tested his device on over 12,000 samples (样品), including apples, strawberries and tomatoes, to adjust its accuracy. By analyzing the light data, Pestiscand’s AI model can identify the wavelengths associated with pesticide residues, achieving a remarkable detection accuracy of over 85%. This high accuracy meets Subash’s goal of ensuring both effectiveness and speed in detecting pesticides. Subash hopes to bring Pestiscand to market by the time he enters college, allowing people to have an affordable, easy-to-use tool to help make safer food choices. While Subash isn’t sure where life will take him next, he is sure of his love for science — particularly physics. 1.What do the underlined words “a eureka moment” in paragraph 1 mean? A. An outline of a book. B. A sudden inspiration. C. An awkward occasion. D. A drive of quick action. 2.What disadvantage does Subash think the current pesticide-detection methods have? A. High cost. B.

I wondered how necessary it was and how effective the washing was... Does it really work to make sure your produce is clean? That led him to a deep exploration into the world of pesticide use.(我父母总是坚持让我在吃之前把农产品洗干净。我想知道这有多必要，清洗的效果有多好……这样做真的能确保农产品干净吗？这让他深入探索了农药使用的世界。)”可知，“a eureka moment”指的是苏巴什在厨房水槽边突然产生的疑问，这种疑问成为他后续研究的灵感来源。所以“eureka moment”意为“顿悟时刻、灵光一现”，与“突然的灵感”语义一致。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The current methods of detecting pesticides, designed for at-home use, typically require cutting up the produce, and that results in the produce uneatable.(目前用于家庭的农药检测方法通常需要切碎农产品，这会导致农产品无法食用。)”可知，苏巴什认为现有检测方法的缺点是会破坏农产品，使其无法食用。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Pestiscand works through spectrophotometry, a way measuring how light of different wavelengths reflects off the surface of produce.(Pestiscand通过分光光度法工作，这是一种测量不同波长的光如何从农产品表面反射的方法。)”及“By analyzing the light data, Pestiscand’s AI model can identify the wavelengths associated with pesticide residues.(通过分析光数据，Pestiscand的人工智能模型可以识别与农药残留相关的波长。)”可知，Pestiscand的核心工作原理是通过分析光的反射数据来检测农药残留，即依赖光分析。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While Subash isn’t sure where life will take him next, he is sure of his love for science — particularly physics.(虽然苏巴什不确定未来的人生会走向何方，但他明确自己热爱科学——尤其是物理学。)”结合前文，苏巴什正是出于对科学的热爱，从生活中的疑问出发，历经大量测试研发出Pestiscand。由此可推断，热情是创新的动力。故选A项。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·山东德州·期中）Makaran hated piano lessons she took as a child. It amused her that she found second-career success as a DJ a decade ago, playing tunes for MTV and other clients. “I was playing music for people, watching them forget their stress and worries and just be present on the dance floor,” says Makaran. “I never thought of music for my own healing until I really needed it.” Ten years ago, Makaran developed cancer. Following drug therapy (疗法) and surgery, her best hope of remaining cancer-free depended largely on Heresquin, an effective anticancer medicine. But after a few rounds, Makaran proved allergic (过敏物) — and there was no alternative. Makaran asked her doctor, “What should I do?” He responded simply, “Be happy.” Initially she couldn’t believe it, but then she understood, “If I can manage my stress and my emotions, I would have the best chance of surviving, even though I was taken off treatment.” Then she began to explore how music could help her heal. “Music therapy can help manage cancer-related symptoms and anxieties as effectively as traditional therapies,” according to a study. The study involved seven weeks of therapy combining talk, music and songwriting. During sessions, trained therapists might help put a patient’s words or feelings to a song, co-write a tune, or simply listen. Makaran sometimes wrote songs to express her emotions, or just sang along. The population of cancer survivors has increased in recent decades to 18.6 million people in America alone. Dr. Kevin Lion says there is a greater need for varied therapies to improve their quality of life. “We want a wide range of tools to better personalize treatments,” he says. The next phase of research is to look at the characteristics of patients likely to benefit from music therapy. 1.How did Makaran initially feel about music? A. Enthusiastic. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Doubtful. 2.What did Makaran realize after her doctor’s advice? A. Doctors hold all the keys. B. Mental wellness helps recovery. C. Music alone holds magic. D. Medical treatment is needless. 3.What can we infer about music therapy from paragraph 3? A. It features multiple methods. B. It requires specific musical skills. C. It is primarily based on writing songs. D. It is more effective than traditional ones. 4.Why do the researchers study the characteristics of patients? A. To train better therapists. B. To shape their taste in music. C. To improve the quality of tools. D. To tailor therapy to specific needs. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了玛卡兰因癌症治疗困境接触音乐疗法，以及音乐疗法对癌症患者的积极作用和相关研究进展。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Makaran hated piano lessons she took as a child. It amused her that she found second-career success as a DJ a decade ago, playing tunes for MTV and other clients.(玛卡兰小时候很讨厌上钢琴课。十年前，她转行成为一名唱片骑士并取得了成功，为音乐电视网和其他客户演奏乐曲，这让她觉得十分有趣)”以及“I never thought of music for my own healing until I really needed it.(直到我真正需要的时候，我才想到用音乐来治愈自己)”可推知，玛卡兰小时候讨厌钢琴课，起初也没把音乐和自我治愈联系起来，对音乐的初始态度是负面的。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He responded simply, “Be happy.” Initially she couldn’t believe it, but then she understood, “If I can manage my stress and my emotions, I would have the best chance of surviving, even though I was taken off treatment.”(他只是简单地回答：“要开心点。” 起初她不敢相信，但后来她明白了：“即使我停止了治疗，如果我能控制好自己的压力和情绪，我就有最大的生存机会。”)”可知，医生建议玛卡兰要开心，她由此意识到调节情绪、保持心理健康有助于病情恢复。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The study involved seven weeks of therapy combining talk, music and songwriting. During sessions, trained therapists might help put a patient’s words or feelings to a song, co-write a tune, or simply listen.(这项研究包含为期七周的疗法，融合了谈话、音乐和歌曲创作。在治疗过程中，受过专业训练的治疗师可能会帮助患者将心声或感受谱写成歌、合作创作旋律，或者只是单纯倾听)”可推知，音乐疗法融合了多种形式，包含多种治疗方法。故选 A 项。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““We want a wide range of tools to better personalize treatments,” he says. The next phase of research is to look at the characteristics of patients likely to benefit from music therapy.(他说：“我们需要各种各样的方法，以便更好地实现个性化治疗。”下一阶段的研究将着眼于那些可能从音乐疗法中受益的患者的特征)”可知，研究人员研究患者特征是为了根据患者具体情况量身定制个性化疗法。故选D项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高二上·山东菏泽第一中学·期中）In the 15th century, in a small village near Nuremberg, there lived a family with eighteen children. To provide for them, the father, a goldsmith (金匠), worked almost eighteen hours a day at his shop and took on any extra work he could find. Despite their hopeless condition, two of the eldest children had a dream. They both wanted to pursue their talent for art, but they knew well that their father would never be able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study in the academy. After many discussions, the two boys came up with a plan. They would toss (投掷) a coin. The loser would work in the nearby mines to support the other brother, who would attend the academy. When the winner finished his study, he would help the other one by selling art or working in the mines if necessary. Albrecht Dürer, the winner, went to Nuremberg to study, while his brother, Albert, worked in the mines. For the next four years, Albert funded his brother’s education. By the time Albrecht graduated, his works were considered better than many of his professors’. When the young artist returned to his village, the family celebrated with a festive dinner. At the end of the meal, Albrecht stood to toast his brother, saying, “Now, Albert, it’s your turn to pursue your dream.” With tears on his face, Albert shook his head. He looked at the faces he loved, and then quietly said, “No, brother. It’s too late for me. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, let alone a pen or a brush.” Over 450 years later, Albrecht Dürer’s artworks were shown and admired in museums all over the world. Among all these works, one got particularly famous because of the story behind it. Albrecht named his powerful drawing simply The Praying Hands. He painted his brother’s hands which were abused and thin, but supported him in his time of need. 1.Why couldn’t the father send both sons to the academy? A. He disliked art. B. The sons refused to go. C. The family was too poor. D. The academy rejected them. 2.How did Albert support his brother’s education? A. He worked at a local shop. B. He borrowed money from friends. C. He worked in the mines for four years. D. He sold his art to fund Albrecht’s study. 3.What does the underlined word “abused” in paragraph 6 refer to? A. Rarely used. B. Badly injured. C.

But Shanya Gill, a middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, as stated in the press release. “The top winners have exhibited boundless curiosity,” Maya Ajmera, president and CEO of Society for Science, said in the press release.”Their remarkable research not only reflects their talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future. Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported The Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before”, she told The Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down, ” she added. After she studied fire statistics, Shanya spent over a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could have prevented the fire. Unlike traditional smoke detectors that sense active fires from the smoke in the air, Shanya’s thermal (热的) imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring. With a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer, the device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message warning. Creating the prototype (原型) was difficult and the hardest part was the programming. I had two designs, and my first design completely failed. “ It was a really big challenge I had to go through, ” she said. The final device outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy. Shanya wants to bring the costs down to make it even more common than previous smoke detectors. “Shanya saw a problem, went after it and tried to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage with all young people, ” said Ajmera. She also highlighted the significance of supporting individuals, especially girls and kids of color, in STEM fields, as research indicates that many young people drop out of these areas. 1.What can we learn about Shanya from the first two paragraphs? A. She created an important platform for her peers. B. She demonstrated her curious nature as a student. C. She earned a large amount of money from the award. D. She was younger than the other winners in performance. 2.What inspired Shanya to develop her fire detection system? A. Her experience with a destructive fire. B. Her ambition to win the science award. C. Her interest in computer programming. D. Her aim to enhance STEM education for girls. 3.What is an advantage of Shanya’s invention? A. It can issue a warning about a potential fire. B. It consists of two parts that are easier to manage. C. It can detect active fires through smoke in the air. D. It operates when a fire breaks out within ten minutes. 4.Which can be the best title for the passage? A. An Advocate for STEM Education B. An Award Winner of Cooking Safety C.

He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He tearfully asked me. The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island’s creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧) and joy. When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully convince him. Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects. We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas- not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents, hope and despair. And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel. 1.What drove the author to read The Wild Robot? A. Its tragic ending. B. Henry’s tearful recommendation. C. Its attractive cover. D. Henry’s emotional response to it. 2.What is one theme of The Wild Robol Protects? A. Family and community. B. Concerns of global issues. C. Exploration of the ocean. D. Man-robot relationship. 3.What makes Roz in the trilogy special? A. Her childlike expressions. B. Her robotic power. C. Her struggling experiences. D. Her adventurous spirit. 4.Which message does this text seem to communicate? A. Misfortune inspires great literary works. B. Robot stories work like magic on children. C. Book discussions help kids survive tragedies. D. Reading literature facilitates personal growth. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. C　4.
