In it, a kouji performer, specializing in vocal mimicry, creates lifelike performances of various sounds using just his mouth, with the stage having only a table, a block of wood on it, a chair and a fan. Originating from ancient China, the art of kouji involves skillfully using movements of the lips, teeth, throat, and tongue to produce sounds that mimic birds, animals, and various other noises in the world. It is often combined with story-telling during performances. In 2011, kouji was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage. According to the IHChina website, traditional kouji is becoming endangered due to the rapid development of electronic audio. However, Cao Quyang, a 28-year-old inheritor, has found a solution by combining kouji with beatboxing, achieving a perfect combination of traditional and modern performance art. Cao started learning kouji in 2016 when she wanted to bring something original to her B -box performance. "As a former percussionis (打击乐器演奏者), I'm sensitive to rhythm, so I integrated the kouji techniques I learned into beatboxing and created my own unique style in my area of expertise." she added. For example, when mimicking environmental sounds like wind, Cao can use her mouth to weave beatboxing into it, making the sound of the wind stronger and more rhythmic." The addition of beatboxing brings more musical expression to kouji performances, making the stories more vivid and appealing to today's young audiences." said Cao. In addition to kouji and beatboxing, Cao can also play the Chinese drums, drum set, and piano, as well as DJ. "Innovation is not difficult for me. To me, innovation is simply expressing something that people don't understand in a way they do," said Cao, "As long as it combines tradition and modernity and allows the public to appreciate the beauty of tradition through innovation, I'm willing to do it." 1.What does the article tell us about kouji ? A. It involves five parts of the human mouth. B. It originated in the Western Han dynasty. C. It usually mixes sound mimicry with storytelling. D. It received national heritage status in 2001. 2.How has Cao Quyang contributed to the preservation of kouji? A. By developing a new form of art. B. By employing it to compose pop songs. C. By including digital effects in her performances. D. By combining it with percussion instruments. 3.What aspect of kouji does Cao enhance with beatboxing ? A. Visual appeal. B. Emotional depth. C. Mimicry accuracy. D. Rhythmic complexity. 4.What does Cao think of innovation ? A. It presents challenges and risks of failure. B. It is a means of beautifying the old. C. It is a way to bridge understanding. D. It serves as a form of self-expression. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东实验中学·期中）Wang Zuxian, the 58-year-old Hong Kong actress who rose to fame across Asia for her role as “Xiao Qian” in the classic film A Chinese Ghost Story, has recently attracted the public in a whole new way. Now living in Vancouver, Canada, she has opened a moxibustion (艾灸) clinic that brings Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to an international audience. Since its opening this February, the clinic — offering acupuncture, cupping, and other traditional therapies — has attracted fans from near and far. Many come not only to experience TCM treatments but also to catch a glimpse of the timeless star behind the scenes. Recently, TV host Christopher Downs (Xia Keli) visited the clinic and shared a video online, showing Wang personally examining him and arranging a full treatment session. Wearing a simple blue T-shirt, a green apron(围裙), and a mask that couldn’t hide her gentle eyes and professional manner, she carefully went through Downs’ health report. Her tone was calm and friendly, as if talking to an old friend. She then personally performed cupping and acupuncture. What moved him most was that Wang even remembered his TV shows in Taiwan. Their warm conversation erased any distance between celebrity and fan. “She has no airs at all,” Downs marveled. “She’s still that elegant Xiao Qian I remember.” Though TCM is not mainstream in Western countries, Wang’s clinic has become a cultural bridge. In addition to providing acupuncture and cupping, she gives personalized health advice and shares wellness knowledge rooted in Chinese tradition. Appointments have been fully booked months in advance. Her clients include not only Chinese fans but also many local Canadians curious about TCM. Downs revealed that Wang studied TCM and obtained professional certification before opening the clinic. Netizens commented enthusiastically: “This isn’t a celebrity comeback — it’s cultural heritage in action.” Some hope she will expand her clinic to other countries, allowing TCM to reach more people; others express admiration, saying: “This is true cultural confidence — using her influence to let the world see Chinese wisdom.” 1.Which one is a special reason for the clinic’s popularity? A. It offers extra access to an actress. B. It is located in a famous tourist area. C. It shows the latest medical technology. D.

To explain the reasons behind Wang’s career change. B. To emphasize the commercial success of Wang’s clinic. C. To highlight the cultural significance of Wang’s actions. D. To contrast Western with Traditional Chinese Medicine. 4.What does Christopher Downs think of Wang Zuxian? A. Greedy but easy-going. B. Picky but warm-hearted. C. Confident and well-behaved. D. Professional and down-to-earth. 主题语境02 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高三上·山东师范大学附属中学·期中）I recently turned seventy. Seventy is a nice number for a chapter in a book, a score in a game, or a temperature in the summer, but it wasn’t a number I was ready to face in my life. I was stuck with this number and everything it means. A few days after my birthday, a close friend remarked, “Seventy is the new sixty. ” This statement was meant to be encouraging, but it left me considering the changing meanings of age. Am I truly over the hill, or has society simply shifted the standard for aging? The physical challenges are undeniable. I can no longer run the marathons I once did, and my daily walks are now interrupted by pauses and rest. Dr. Smith, a renowned gerontologist (老年病学家), often says, “You are not getting older, you are getting more mature.” While this may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that my body is aging, and the aches and pains are more frequent. I appreciate his viewpoint, but I know it’s time to face the realities of aging head-on. As I step into my seventh decade, I tend to reflect on what it means to age. I see aging as a mixture of resilience and acceptance, a process that requires both fighting against the inevitable and embracing the changes that come. Aging is a natural part of life, and while I may no longer be the athlete I once was, I find new ways to stay active and engaged. Seventy is a number that once seemed distant, but now it is my present reality. I am reminded of the words of the philosopher: “Old is always fifteen years from now.” This perspective helps me to stay positive, even as I acknowledge the physical limitations that come with age. The best may indeed be yet to come and I am determined to find the beauty in every new chapter. 1.What does the author imply at the beginning? A. Time flies quickly. B. Only time will tell. C. Time heals all wounds. D. Aging is a tough reality. 2.What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Passing one’s peak. B. Enjoying retirement life. C. Reaching the top position. D. Facing physical challenges. 3.What can we learn from the author’s reflection on aging? A. Aging is a contradictory but natural process. B. Aging is a clear decline in mental abilities. C. There is no need to fight against our aging. D. The author will give up new activities. 4.How does the author feel about the future life? A. Peaceful. B. Promising. C. Upset. D. Regretful. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高三上·山东菏泽·期中）“I don’t have to be a millionaire to help animals or people. A thought is what matters.” This simple yet powerful realization set 29-year-old Deeksha Chauhan on a path where she breathes life into animals through realism and hyperrealism (超写实主义), hoping to challenge the way humans interact with wildlife. Deeksha’s journey with art began early, encouraged by her teacher, who introduced her to various creative forms. While she enjoyed dance and music, painting always drew her in the most. However, her parents thought it was a terrible career path. They had a different plan for her future — an engineering degree at Vidya College, Meerut. She completed her degree in 2016 and entered the business world. But time and again, she felt she wasn’t truly interested in it. “In August 2019, I decided to become the teacher I was searching for and started to learn art by watching online courses,” Deeksha says. She followed international artists and paid close attention to paintings on the Internet. “Over time, I taught myself realism and hyperrealism,” she shares proudly. Deeksha’s choice to become a wildlife artist came from a personal loss. “I lost my pet dog — he breathed his last in my arms. I felt helpless because I could not do anything,” she says. While Deeksha works every day to improve her artistic skills, her main focus lies in giving back to animals through art. “Right now, with the money earned from art, I support people who take part in animal protection efforts,” she shares. “I love travelling alone and staying with the locals. In return, I teach their children about insects, wildlife, and the importance of not harming any animals,” she explains. Looking ahead, Deeksha wishes to use her art for fundraising in a bigger way, which would create awareness about wildlife and contribute towards animal well-being and protection. 1.What was Deeksha’s parents’ attitude towards her passion for painting? A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Expectant. D. Opposed. 2.How did Deeksha learn realism and hyperrealism painting skills? A. By studying online resources. B. By having art education in college. C. By taking courses from international artists. D. By watching online courses from an art school. 3.What inspired Deeksha to become a wildlife artist? A. The death of her pet dog. B. Her desire to earn more money. C. Her dissatisfaction with previous jobs. D. The suggestion for painting from her teacher. 4.What is Deeksha’s future goal? A. To improve her painting skills. B. To teach more children about art. C. To raise more money for wildlife. D. To sell her paintings at higher prices. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东滨州惠民县·期中）Thirty-nine-year-old Liang Jiangbo, who became the first blind person to earn a postgraduate degree from Tsinghua University last month, said he planned to devote himself to helping more disabled people better integrate into society. Born in Bengbu, Anhui province, Liang said his disability made his educational journey tough and uneven. His parents spared no effort to give him the chance to attend a regular school at ten, where his peers treated him as a normal student. Later, he went to a special school and his classmates tried to dissuade him from trying to get into a regular university and instead encouraged him to learn massage (按摩) and think about running a shop to make a living. He was admitted to Beijing Union University in 2006, where he majored in acupuncture and massage therapy. There he also made sure to take part in social activities to build better connections. He said that applying for a place in the social work master’s program at Tsinghua was not a sudden act. It was his dream school when he was a child. However, there were no study materials for visually-impaired people wanting to prepare for the postgraduate examination. He had to convert the materials into speech-recognition formats and spot possible mistakes during the format conversion process. After actively preparing for almost a year, Liang took the postgraduate examination. As a disabled student, he was allowed to extend time as it took longer to read the Braille (盲文). He was thrilled when he received his letter of admission from Tsinghua in June 2022. When studying at Tsinghua, his classmates treated him discreetly at the very beginning as they had no idea how to communicate with and get on with disabled people. But things changed after they became more familiar, and sometimes he might even do them a favor. He said “Those changes are the reason I chose the major as I wish for people with disabilities to get proactively involved in some social activities and community life. I hope my story can be inspirational, as I’ve proved that any dream can be reached. Human beings are a diverse bunch and we disabled are part of that diversity.” 1.What can we know about Liang Jiangbo from the first two paragraphs? A. He experienced a smooth educational journey. B. He joined in social activities to enjoy himself. C. He wanted to study at Tsinghua from an early age. D. He was the first disabled to earn a postgraduate degree. 2.What problem did he meet facing the postgraduate examination? A. Disturbance of social activities. B. Lack of support from his parents. C. Insufficient time in the examination. D. Absence of study materials in Braille. 3.Which one of the following statements is in line with the passage? A. He majored in acupuncture at Tsinghua. B. Initially, his classmates at Tsinghua treated him cautiously. C. Students at special schools favored Liang’s dream of further study. D. The shift of his classmates’ attitude at Tsinghua influenced him slightly. 4.What can be the most suitable title for the text? A. A blind graduate’s tough educational journey. B. A disabled person aiming to integrate into society. C. A blind Tsinghua graduate aiming to inspire others. D. The first blind to graduate from Tsinghua University. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东济南长清区·期中）Dr. Marie-Luce Chevalier, a Belgian/French geologist (地质学家), has been working a as a research professor at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences in Beijing since 2010. For the past 14 years, she has been studying active faults (断层) in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and how they move. In 2021, Chevalier was presented with the Chinese Government Friendship Award in appreciation of her contributions to the development of China’s disaster assessment system of earthquake and the promotion of cooperation and exchanges between China and other countries. Chevalier’s choice of China as a research destination was not made by chance. Her research has primarily focused on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. She had also collaborated (合作) with Chinese scientists from the beginning of her master’s program. “When they asked if I wanted to join their team after my post-doctorate, I gladly accepted and have no regrets. My fourteen years in China have provided me with a constant source of fresh personal and professional experiences,” she said, adding that her mother’s interest in Chinese culture contributed to her decision to work in the country. Chevalier will continue to research active faults in and around Xizang actively and contribute to our understanding of how past climate developed to work towards predicting future climate change, another topic near and dear to her heart. She will accomplish this by conducting field research, sharing her findings with scientific community, teaching students who will become tomorrow’s scientists, and raising awareness among local populations about the risks they may face in their lifetime. Chevalier’s mother went to Xizang once, realising her lifelong dreams. Chevalier keeps raising her daughter in this safe and highly international environment, Beijing.

At that time, he came up with this fun idea of a fictional character called Duncan. When I met ‘Duncan’ for the first time, he was wearing a Heart of Midlothian shirt — the team I never supported. He then started eating a packet of crisps right next to me, which is one of my pet hates. He was a complete disappointment to me and I knew immediately that we were going to have some fun. Before the performance, he handed me the lines, I said I couldn’t say half the things as they were too mean. He convinced me it was fine and I went with it, and honestly, it was so funny. I struggled to keep a straight face. It went viral (迅速走红). He was approached by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe — way beyond my comfort zone. But I was so comfortable with Chris by this point, I agreed to do it. I never knew what Chris was going to do onstage. I just had to go along with it, and then I’d tell funny tennis stories when he went offstage to get ready. Making people laugh gave me the greatest pleasure. I thought back to sitting in the audience many times before and I couldn’t believe that I was up there onstage. For many years, my life was just tennis and it was so lovely to go into someone else’s world. Before I partnered with Chris, my sons started winning big in tennis, which made us famous. I had a hard time from the media, seen as the pushy mum, overbearing and never smiling. The fact is not so. Being in the tennis players’ box is not fun. It’s really stressful and there’s a reason why I wasn’t smiling. When I meet people in everyday life now, they point out that I’m always smiling. It’s really nice that people see that side of me. 1.What’s the author’s first impression of Duncan? A. Annoying. B. Polite. C. Talented. D. Funny. 2.What’s paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Growth in different careers. B. Struggle during performances. C. An embarrassing experience in theater. D. An unexpected journey on comedy stage. 3.What’s the author’s attitude to this experience? A. Discouraged. B. Regretful. C. Relieved. D. Grateful. 4.Which of the following might be the best title of the text? A. The Price of Viral Fame B. A New Stage Beyond Tennis C. The Intense Pressure on Stage D. Courtside Tears of a Tennis Mum 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高三上·山东菏泽·期中）Every morning at 5:30 am, a quiet movement unfolds on a Kerala riverbank. Led by one man, Saji Valuvassery, this floating classroom is teaching people to swim — for free. More than a skill, it’s a lifeline, a community spirit, and a powerful reminder that courage can be contagious (具有感染力的). On a quiet February morning in 2009, a school picnic to the scenic spot near the Periyar River turned into a disaster. A boat carrying 15 kids and their teacher overturned in the river, leaving no survivors. The disaster shook Saji Valuvassery, a shop owner. Haunted (困扰) by the thought of the young lives lost, he began offering swimming classes in the very river that had taken them, for free. Little did he know that this simple gesture would turn the banks of the Periyar River into a place filled with laughter and community warmth. Saji began by teaching his own kids to swim, then their friends, and then a few kids from around the neighbourhood. Word spread. More kids came. Then adults. Today, that small effort has become the “Valasseril River Swimming Club”. Over 10,000 people have learned to swim here, and 2,000 children have been trained to swim across 780 metres of the river — all in one go. The swimming classes have also grown into a space for sharing knowledge and stories, where everyone who learns is encouraged to give back, keeping the spirit of community flowing as constantly as the river itself. “Once anyone passes their advanced swimming level, they are required to do 6 days of free service, to ensure others’ safety,” explains Saji. The Valasseril River Swimming Club teaches people from November to May. It pauses (暂停) during the monsoon season (季风季节) and reopens in November, when the river is calm and safe again. Every November, when it restarts, volunteers return voluntarily, led by their shared sense of purpose. When asked what keeps people coming back, Saji simply says, “People go to places where they find happiness.” 1.Why did Saji start the swimming classes? A. To connect with volunteers. B. To enrich community activities. C. To profit from teaching swimming. D. To stop people from dying in water. 2.What does the author want to show with the figures in paragraph 3? A. The challenge facing Saji’s swimming club. B. Saji’s wide influence on kids in the community. C. The popularity of swimming near the Periyar River. D. Saji’s remarkable achievement in swimming education. 3.What will advanced swimmers need to do after completing their training? A. Teach swimming skills for free. B. Serve as a short-term safety guardian. C. Share their stories with other learners. D. Volunteer during the monsoon season. 4.Which of the following best describes Saji? A. Selfless and caring. B. Courageous but impractical. C. Curious but impatient. D. Brave and generous. 主题语境03 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高三上·山东山东省青岛第五十八中学·期中）Ten years ago, a private investigator appeared at my door. “I’m here to investigate the person who lives here,” she announced, then entered my home and slowly explored. Her eyes swept from the decorations on the wall to the red Turkish mat on the floor. She stopped at a glass and yellow cake trolley — a gift from my mother. On top sat a manuscript: the handwritten memoirs of a ninety-nine-year-old World War II veteran. His daughter had asked for my help turning his stories into a literary family legacy. The investigator moved to the living room. A curtain, trimmed with crystal beads, hung from a French window. The sunlight made the crystals swing, casting rainbows on the ceiling. “I made it myself,” I said. “I love the cherry-red fabric.” She nodded and approached the bookshelf. She ran her finger along the spines, mouthing titles of autobiography, then moved to a pink wardrobe filled with family photos, a globe, and travel souvenirs. Room by room, she made notes. When she finished, she said, “I’ve got everything I need. A full profile on you.” As I read her analysis, I learned more about my preferences, talents, and style — things I hadn’t fully recognized before. This profile became the first step toward designing a life aligned with my unique joys and skills. In truth, the private investigator was me. I learned of this self-discovery exercise called The Private-Eye Game. It opened my eyes to my authentic self, guiding me to create a lifestyle that truly reflected my talents and desires. The exercise is simple: examine your life from this detective perspective. In your home or workspace, look closely at your belongings and note what they reveal about you. Search for subtle clues that tell you about your interests and talents. Once you’ve gathered information, write a “portrait of yourself” — a detailed profile. Reflect on it: Are there surprises? When I did this, I realized my wardrobe choices didn’t reflect my true style. I preferred comfort and light colors over high heels and reds. I discovered my love of travel, curiosity about cultures, and talent for drawing out people’s stories. These insights helped me craft a richer, more fulfilling life. What might you uncover? Your personal space holds clues about your talents, interests, and desires — things you may have overlooked. With greater clarity, you can make conscious choices to live more authentically, beyond just your home. 1.What was the investigator doing in the author’s room? A. Investigating a crime. B. Appreciating the room. C. Collecting information. D. Searching for a manuscript. 2.What is The Private-Eye Game intended for? A. Building a virtual life. B. Discovering one’s true self. C. Creating a personal space. D. Developing one’s potential. 3.What can we know about the writer? A. She likes red stuff. B. She ignores her strengths. C. She is good at story writing. D. She dislikes tidying up rooms. 4.What can we learn from the story? A. People with a detailed profile enjoy a fulfilling life. B. A shift in perspective reveals one’s hidden aspects. C. Self-discovery requires reevaluating possessions. D. An original portrait displays one’s inner world. 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东青岛即墨区·期中）When I was younger, I loved opening surprise bags. They came with candies and a toy, and you never knew what surprises lay within. Now I still love surprise bags, but I open a different type of surprise bag: one filled with artifacts (手工制品). Part of my job in a museum is cataloguing (编入目录) unprocessed donations. Sometimes when a collection arrives, it is in a sorry state after being excavated (挖掘). It is often covered in dirt, and it can be difficult to tell exactly what each item is. That’s where the fun part starts. I get to wash everything and then discover the artifacts that are revealed! There is nothing like the feeling of being the first to see a piece of history after it has been conserved, particularly with the knowledge of its possible age of thousands of years. Once washed and dried, the artifacts are identified with the help of the museum’s comparative collections, which have been thoughtfully organized over many years in order to show representative examples of different types of artifacts. After being identified, the artifacts are entered into the museum’s collections database. Once on the database, a unique catalogue card must be printed for each artifact. Next, the artifacts are labeled with a unique catalogue number and put away in our storage room. This detailed process of record-keeping, as well as maintaining a properly organized collections storage room, is an important part of collections management. It allows us to know where each artifact is at all times and makes it convenient for researchers to access our collections. I started working in the museum world 25 years ago, and I have been lucky enough to work with the wonderful surprises that this fascinating discipline offers. Come visit a museum — you never know what surprises await you! 1.What does the author suggest by mentioning her childhood surprise bags? A. Her expertise in artifacts. B. The joy of unexpected discovery. C. Her early connection to artifacts. D. The importance of collecting rare items. 2.How does the author feel about cleaning the items? A. Excited. B. Peaceful. C. Regretful. D. Tired. 3.What is the primary purpose of the detailed cataloguing process? A. To make the most of the storage room. B. To prepare artifacts for public exhibition. C. To keep a comprehensive historical record. D. To track the precise location of every artifact. 4.What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Great hopes make great men. C. Knowledge keeps heritage alive. D. Passion turns routine into purpose. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东日照·期中）By the time the nine-year-old Nicola Lathey had completed the trip to London for a dyslexia (阅读障碍) assessment, she had a pretty good idea that her brain worked slightly differently to her school friends. When she went onto secondary school, she started to struggle more academically and her family worried she was getting in with the wrong crowd, so a great aunt offered to pay the fees to send her to the private Haberdashers’ Monmouth School in Wales. Lathey went all out and defied expectations to do well enough in her GCSEs to win a place at sixth-form college. “Everyone was more than shocked and they started to see me through a different lens.” She moved to London to study speech sciences at University College London, where she was considered a “disabled student” due to her dyslexia. After graduating, she initially moved back to Wales and got a job working for the local National Health Service for three years before realizing that to spread her wings, she would have to move back to the capital. The next job, at the Royal Free hospital in northwest London, was where she met her husband Rhodri and they moved together to Oxford, where they started the Owl Centre. It now specializes in autism and ADHD diagnoses (诊断) and speech and language treatment. At first their practice taught English to foreign students, but when that failed to pay the bills, Lathey started offering private speech treatment sessions. Her father-in-law invested £5,000, which was enough to create a website, put in a phone line and pay for some basic resources for the children’s assessments. The company grew quickly, and in 2015, they had opened further Owl Centers in Hertfordshire, Manchester and Cardiff. Today, the company operates two physical sites in Cheltenham and Oxford. However, the large majority of assessments are done online. “It’s true there’s been a huge increase in the rate of diagnosis across the country, particularly among adults,” Lathey said. But she added: “That is because the signs have been missed in childhood, not necessarily because everyone is following the wellbeing trend. We have very strict diagnostic criteria.” 1.What does “defied” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Stress over. B. Manage down. C. Set up. D. Go beyond. 2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Lathey’s challenges in landing a suitable job. B. The road to the foundation of The Owl Centre. C. The key to the diagnosis of autism and ADHD. D. Lathey’s educational journey and working style. 3.What do we know about The Owl Centre? A. It offers assessment for autism and ADHD. B. It is an online assessment platform for dyslexia. C. It specializes in teaching English to foreign students. D. It regained popularity with the help of Lathey’s father-in-law. 4.What can we infer from Lathey’s words in the last paragraph? A. People are seeking diagnoses for trendy reasons. B. The number of adults’ diagnoses has increased sharply. C. More and more adults focus on their mental wellbeing. D. High-level diagnostic standards lead to early assessments. 主题语境01 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高三上·山东德州·期中）John Arrillaga Sr, the pioneering Silicon Valley developer, was one of Stanford’s greatest benefactors (捐助者), leaving a legacy literally built into every corner of campus. Over decades, Arrillaga’s generous donations and hands-on efforts reshaped Stanford’s campus. Though best known for athletic facilities, his true impact extended far beyond. As his longtime friend John Etchemendy noted, “Hundreds of projects bear his mark, yet rarely his name.” Nowhere was this quiet dedication clearer than in the reconstruction of Stanford Stadium. He personally funded and oversaw every detail — from selecting palm trees to designing seats to mapping walkways — yet refused to put his name on it. Born into a working-class family, young Arrillaga couldn’t afford a proper suit for his high school graduation, having to borrow an ill-fitting jacket with sleeves that barely reached his wrists. He unexpectedly attended Stanford on a basketball scholarship, working multiple campus jobs to make ends meet. After playing professionally in Spain, he returned to develop Silicon Valley offices during the tech boom, becoming a billionaire. True to his humble beginnings, he started repaying Stanford almost immediately after graduation — beginning with modest athletic department gifts that grew into historic donations exceeding $250 million. Through his scholarship programs, he’s helped over 300 students facing similar financial challenges. One day, a young donor moved by Arrillaga’s generosity shared how witnessing the selfless giving had profoundly shaped his devotion to charitable work. Realizing the ripple (涟漪) effect of his actions through others, Arrillaga months later made a rare exception: he permitted his name to appear on just one building — not for personal distinction, but as a nod to the power of leading by example. While his benefaction helped communities across Silicon Valley through donations to police stations, libraries, and other public spaces, his strongest ties always remained with Stanford University. 1.What was Arrillaga’s key role in the stadium reconstruction? A. A landscape designer. B. A stadium co-investor. C. A full-project supporter. D. A building material producer. 2.What motivated Arrillaga’s lifelong commitment to Stanford? A. The fate-changing scholarship. B. The desire for public recognition. C. The billionaire lifestyle experience. D. The business investment strategies. 3.Why did Arrillaga finally allow his name to appear on one building? A. To accept praise from the public. B. To inspire more charitable actions. C. To fulfill a request from his university. D. To show the ripple effect of athletics. 4.What does Arrillaga’s experience show? A. Wealth necessitates public display. B. Athletic excellence drives social change. C. Humble beginnings can lead to fortunes. D. Silent impact outweighs visible recognition. 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东济南第一中学·期中）The bell for lunch rang at Glendale Primary School. However, instead of heading to the canteen like all the other children did, Jonah, a new student at the school, went to the library. Other than the noise of the air-conditioner, the library was quiet and there was barely a soul in sight. Far in a corner, he spotted Mrs Lim, the librarian, who was too busy shelving some books to pay any attention to him. The library was near to the canteen. Jonah could hear children laughing and chatting. He wished he was outside playing with some friends but he did not let this bother him. Suddenly, Jonah heard a sound in the corner. He looked around and saw a pair of eyes looking at him from behind, the bookshelves. Jonah turned back, eyes as wide as saucers (茶碟). “Oh dear!” he whispered. He peeked (窥视) over his shoulder again and saw a smaller boy walking towards him. The boy pulled out the chair next to Jonah and sat down. “I’m Henry. Why are you reading here when you could be playing with your friends instead?” asked he. “Uh...” Jonah looked around the library, avoiding Henry’s gaze (注视). He did not want Henry to know the real reason why he was in the library. What would Henry think of him if he knew Jonah did not have any friends? It would make Jonah feel more uncomfortable. As Jonah turned the page, he realized Henry was still sitting there, watching him steadily. “I know how you feel. Just say hello to someone today,” Henry encouraged Jonah. “I promise they’ll respond. Once you’ve made the first move, it just gets easier.” Jonah appreciated the advice and thanked him before making his way out of the library. In the hallway outside the library, a boy from Jonah’s class was crouched on the floor, picking up pens and pencils that had dropped out of his pencil case. Jonah remembered what Henry had advised him to do. “Hello, I’m Jonah. Let me help you,” he offered. The boy looked up at him. “Thank you! My name is Ruben.” Victory at last, Jonah thought, feeling proud of himself. 1.What can we know from the text? A. The thought of playing outside bothered Jonah. B. The library was not crowded at lunchtime. C. The librarian was annoyed by the noise outside. D. Jonah had had lunch before going to the library. 2.Why were Jonah’s eyes “as wide as saucers” in paragraph 2? A. He turned too quickly and felt a little dizzy. B. He was shocked by the pair of eyes peeking at him. C. He was too thin because of lacking enough nutrition. D. He didn’t expect the smaller boy would come to him. 3.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Jonah’s not having any friends in the school. B. Henry’s impoliteness in asking the question. C. Jonah’s shyness after he found Henry’s gaze. D. Henry’s thought of Jonah if he knew Jonah’s real situation. 4.Why was Jonah proud of himself at last?

He had met a classmate who was in the same situation. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东聊城·期中）My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak and Archie. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I regarded diving into all-text novels as a formidable undertaking. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex narratives through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. Growing older, I found myself graduating to graphic novels from childish comic books. They deal with serious topics in a more engaging manner and literally show me what was going on. Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. While I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his novel, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit first. Thanks to Charles Dixon, I had a picture of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand J.R.R. Tolkien’s version. From black and white strips to illustrated graphic novels, this transformation has come a long way. While my romance with books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for illustrated novels is more substantial and here to stay. 1.What can we learn about the author as a little kid? A. He mined newspapers for knowledge. B. Comics struck him as shallow. C. He cared little for book categories. D. Comics were his main reading joy. 2.What does the underlined word “formidable” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Discouraging. B. Rewarding. C. Entertaining. D. Enlightening. 3.What can be inferred about Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit? A. It contains rich visual material. B. It presents a complicated plot. C. It focuses on the latest news. D. It shapes Tolkien’s writing style. 4.What could be the best title for the text? A. Welcome to the World of Literature B. Can’t Get Enough of Graphic Novels C. Let Comic Books Shape Who I Am D. Find Myself through Reading Novels / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 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高三上·山东枣庄滕州市·期中）Do you remember reading an article called Kouji in middle school? In it, a kouji performer, specializing in vocal mimicry, creates lifelike performances of various sounds using just his mouth, with the stage having only a table, a block of wood on it, a chair and a fan. Originating from ancient China, the art of kouji involves skillfully using movements of the lips, teeth, throat, and tongue to produce sounds that mimic birds, animals, and various other noises in the world. It is often combined with story-telling during performances. In 2011, kouji was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage. According to the IHChina website, traditional kouji is becoming endangered due to the rapid development of electronic audio. However, Cao Quyang, a 28-year-old inheritor, has found a solution by combining kouji with beatboxing, achieving a perfect combination of traditional and modern performance art. Cao started learning kouji in 2016 when she wanted to bring something original to her B -box performance. "As a former percussionis (打击乐器演奏者), I'm sensitive to rhythm, so I integrated the kouji techniques I learned into beatboxing and created my own unique style in my area of expertise." she added. For example, when mimicking environmental sounds like wind, Cao can use her mouth to weave beatboxing into it, making the sound of the wind stronger and more rhythmic." The addition of beatboxing brings more musical expression to kouji performances, making the stories more vivid and appealing to today's young audiences." said Cao. In addition to kouji and beatboxing, Cao can also play the Chinese drums, drum set, and piano, as well as DJ. "Innovation is not difficult for me. To me, innovation is simply expressing something that people don't understand in a way they do," said Cao, "As long as it combines tradition and modernity and allows the public to appreciate the beauty of tradition through innovation, I'm willing to do it." 1.What does the article tell us about kouji ? A. It involves five parts of the human mouth. B. It originated in the Western Han dynasty. C. It usually mixes sound mimicry with storytelling. D. It received national heritage status in 2001. 2.How has Cao Quyang contributed to the preservation of kouji? A. By developing a new form of art. B. By employing it to compose pop songs. C. By including digital effects in her performances. D. By combining it with percussion instruments. 3.What aspect of kouji does Cao enhance with beatboxing ? A. Visual appeal. B. Emotional depth. C. Mimicry accuracy. D. Rhythmic complexity. 4.What does Cao think of innovation ? A. It presents challenges and risks of failure. B. It is a means of beautifying the old. C. It is a way to bridge understanding. D. It serves as a form of self-expression. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. D　4.

Seventy is a nice number for a chapter in a book, a score in a game, or a temperature in the summer, but it wasn’t a number I was ready to face in my life. I was stuck with this number and everything it means. A few days after my birthday, a close friend remarked, “Seventy is the new sixty. ” This statement was meant to be encouraging, but it left me considering the changing meanings of age. Am I truly over the hill, or has society simply shifted the standard for aging? The physical challenges are undeniable. I can no longer run the marathons I once did, and my daily walks are now interrupted by pauses and rest. Dr. Smith, a renowned gerontologist (老年病学家), often says, “You are not getting older, you are getting more mature.” While this may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that my body is aging, and the aches and pains are more frequent. I appreciate his viewpoint, but I know it’s time to face the realities of aging head-on. As I step into my seventh decade, I tend to reflect on what it means to age. I see aging as a mixture of resilience and acceptance, a process that requires both fighting against the inevitable and embracing the changes that come. Aging is a natural part of life, and while I may no longer be the athlete I once was, I find new ways to stay active and engaged. Seventy is a number that once seemed distant, but now it is my present reality. I am reminded of the words of the philosopher: “Old is always fifteen years from now.” This perspective helps me to stay positive, even as I acknowledge the physical limitations that come with age. The best may indeed be yet to come and I am determined to find the beauty in every new chapter. 1.What does the author imply at the beginning? A. Time flies quickly. B. Only time will tell. C. Time heals all wounds. D. Aging is a tough reality. 2.What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Passing one’s peak. B. Enjoying retirement life. C. Reaching the top position. D. Facing physical challenges. 3.What can we learn from the author’s reflection on aging? A. Aging is a contradictory but natural process. B. Aging is a clear decline in mental abilities. C. There is no need to fight against our aging. D. The author will give up new activities. 4.How does the author feel about the future life? A. Peaceful. B. Promising. C. Upset. D. Regretful. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。作者步入七十岁后起初难以接受衰老现实，经朋友劝慰、专家观点启发，逐渐反思并接纳衰老，秉持积极心态，期待未来人生新篇章。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“I recently turned seventy. Seventy is a nice number for a chapter in a book, a score in a game, or a temperature in the summer, but it wasn’t a number I was ready to face in my life. I was stuck with this number and everything it means.(我最近刚满七十岁。七十这个数字对于一本书的章节、一场游戏的得分或者夏天的气温来说都是一个不错的数字，但对于我的人生而言，却并非我愿意面对的数字。我被这个数字以及它所代表的一切所困住)”可知，作者在开头处意在表达衰老是一个残酷的事实。故选D。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“or has society simply shifted the standard for aging(或者说，社会是否只是改变了衡量衰老的标准呢？)”以及划线词后文“The physical challenges are undeniable. I can no longer run the marathons I once did, and my daily walks are now interrupted by pauses and rest.(身体上的挑战是显而易见的。我再也无法像过去那样参加马拉松比赛了，而且我每天的散步现在也会因停顿和休息而被打断)”可知，第二段中作者疑惑“自己是否真的over the hill，还是社会改变了衰老标准”，结合后文提到的“无法再跑马拉松、散步需要休息”等身体衰退的表现，可推断该短语意为过了人生巅峰、开始走下坡路，故划线词意思是“达到巅峰之后的阶段”。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“As I step into my seventh decade, I tend to reflect on what it means to age. I see aging as a mixture of resilience and acceptance, a process that requires both fighting against the inevitable and embracing the changes that come. Aging is a natural part of life, and while I may no longer be the athlete I once was, I find new ways to stay active and engaged.(当我步入人生的第七个十年之际，我开始思考衰老的真正含义。在我看来，衰老是坚韧与接纳的结合，这是一个既需要对抗不可避免的变化，又要欣然接受随之而来的改变的过程。衰老是生命中自然的一部分，尽管我可能不再是曾经的那个健壮运动员了，但我找到了新的方式来保持活力和参与其中)”可知，作者认为衰老是一个既矛盾又自然的过程。故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The best may indeed be yet to come and I am determined to find the beauty in every new chapter.(也许最美好的事物还在前方等着我们，而我决心要在每一个新的篇章中发现其中的美)”可知，作者认为未来的生活是充满希望的。故选B。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高三上·山东菏泽·期中）“I don’t have to be a millionaire to help animals or people.

Deeksha’s journey with art began early, encouraged by her teacher, who introduced her to various creative forms. While she enjoyed dance and music, painting always drew her in the most. However, her parents thought it was a terrible career path. They had a different plan for her future — an engineering degree at Vidya College, Meerut. She completed her degree in 2016 and entered the business world. But time and again, she felt she wasn’t truly interested in it. “In August 2019, I decided to become the teacher I was searching for and started to learn art by watching online courses,” Deeksha says. She followed international artists and paid close attention to paintings on the Internet. “Over time, I taught myself realism and hyperrealism,” she shares proudly. Deeksha’s choice to become a wildlife artist came from a personal loss. “I lost my pet dog — he breathed his last in my arms. I felt helpless because I could not do anything,” she says. While Deeksha works every day to improve her artistic skills, her main focus lies in giving back to animals through art. “Right now, with the money earned from art, I support people who take part in animal protection efforts,” she shares. “I love travelling alone and staying with the locals. In return, I teach their children about insects, wildlife, and the importance of not harming any animals,” she explains. Looking ahead, Deeksha wishes to use her art for fundraising in a bigger way, which would create awareness about wildlife and contribute towards animal well-being and protection. 1.What was Deeksha’s parents’ attitude towards her passion for painting?

I felt helpless because I could not do anything,” she says.(Deeksha选择成为一名野生动物艺术家源于一次个人损失。“我失去了我的宠物狗——它在我怀里咽下了最后一口气。我感到无助，因为我什么也做不了，”她说)”可知，她宠物狗的去世激发了Deeksha成为野生动物艺术家的灵感。故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Looking ahead, Deeksha wishes to use her art for fundraising in a bigger way, which would create awareness about wildlife and contribute towards animal well-being and protection.(展望未来，Deeksha希望以更大的方式利用她的艺术进行筹款，这将提高人们对野生动物的认识，并为动物的福利和保护做出贡献)”可知，Deeksha未来的目标是为野生动物筹集更多资金。故选C。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东滨州惠民县·期中）Thirty-nine-year-old Liang Jiangbo, who became the first blind person to earn a postgraduate degree from Tsinghua University last month, said he planned to devote himself to helping more disabled people better integrate into society. Born in Bengbu, Anhui province, Liang said his disability made his educational journey tough and uneven. His parents spared no effort to give him the chance to attend a regular school at ten, where his peers treated him as a normal student. Later, he went to a special school and his classmates tried to dissuade him from trying to get into a regular university and instead encouraged him to learn massage (按摩) and think about running a shop to make a living. He was admitted to Beijing Union University in 2006, where he majored in acupuncture and massage therapy. There he also made sure to take part in social activities to build better connections. He said that applying for a place in the social work master’s program at Tsinghua was not a sudden act. It was his dream school when he was a child. However, there were no study materials for visually-impaired people wanting to prepare for the postgraduate examination. He had to convert the materials into speech-recognition formats and spot possible mistakes during the format conversion process. After actively preparing for almost a year, Liang took the postgraduate examination. As a disabled student, he was allowed to extend time as it took longer to read the Braille (盲文). He was thrilled when he received his letter of admission from Tsinghua in June 2022. When studying at Tsinghua, his classmates treated him discreetly at the very beginning as they had no idea how to communicate with and get on with disabled people. But things changed after they became more familiar, and sometimes he might even do them a favor. He said “Those changes are the reason I chose the major as I wish for people with disabilities to get proactively involved in some social activities and community life. I hope my story can be inspirational, as I’ve proved that any dream can be reached. Human beings are a diverse bunch and we disabled are part of that diversity.” 1.What can we know about Liang Jiangbo from the first two paragraphs? A. He experienced a smooth educational journey. B. He joined in social activities to enjoy himself. C. He wanted to study at Tsinghua from an early age. D. He was the first disabled to earn a postgraduate degree. 2.What problem did he meet facing the postgraduate examination? A. Disturbance of social activities. B. Lack of support from his parents. C. Insufficient time in the examination. D. Absence of study materials in Braille. 3.Which one of the following statements is in line with the passage? A. He majored in acupuncture at Tsinghua. B. Initially, his classmates at Tsinghua treated him cautiously. C. Students at special schools favored Liang’s dream of further study. D. The shift of his classmates’ attitude at Tsinghua influenced him slightly. 4.What can be the most suitable title for the text? A. A blind graduate’s tough educational journey. B. A disabled person aiming to integrate into society. C. A blind Tsinghua graduate aiming to inspire others. D. The first blind to graduate from Tsinghua University. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4.

He had to convert the materials into speech-recognition formats and spot possible mistakes during the format conversion process.(然而，面向视障人士的研究生考试复习资料却是一片空白。他不得不将学习材料转换成语音识别格式，并在此过程中仔细排查可能出现的错误。)”可知，梁江波面向视障人士的研究生考试复习资料缺失，他必须自行转换格式，因此缺乏盲文学习资料是他在准备考试时遇到的问题。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“When studying at Tsinghua, his classmates treated him discreetly at the very beginning as they had no idea how to communicate with and get on with disabled people.(在清华求学期间，起初同学们对待他颇为谨慎，因为他们不知道如何与残疾人交流和相处。)”可知，梁江波的同学最初因不了解如何与他相处，因此在相处过程中非常的谨慎。故选B。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Thirty-nine-year-old Liang Jiangbo, who became the first blind person to earn a postgraduate degree from Tsinghua University last month, said he planned to devote himself to helping more disabled people better integrate into society.(三十九岁的梁江波上个月成为清华大学首位获得硕士学位的盲人。他表示，计划致力于帮助更多残疾人更好地融入社会。)”并通读全文可知，文章通过梁江波的经历，突出其克服困难、实现梦想并致力于帮助他人的精神。并在结尾部分尤其点明其意图“I hope my story can be inspirational(我希望我的故事可以激励他人)”，故C项“旨在激励他人的盲人清华毕业生”能概括全文，符合文章标题。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东济南长清区·期中）Dr. Marie-Luce Chevalier, a Belgian/French geologist (地质学家), has been working a as a research professor at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences in Beijing since 2010. For the past 14 years, she has been studying active faults (断层) in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and how they move. In 2021, Chevalier was presented with the Chinese Government Friendship Award in appreciation of her contributions to the development of China’s disaster assessment system of earthquake and the promotion of cooperation and exchanges between China and other countries. Chevalier’s choice of China as a research destination was not made by chance. Her research has primarily focused on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. She had also collaborated (合作) with Chinese scientists from the beginning of her master’s program. “When they asked if I wanted to join their team after my post-doctorate, I gladly accepted and have no regrets. My fourteen years in China have provided me with a constant source of fresh personal and professional experiences,” she said, adding that her mother’s interest in Chinese culture contributed to her decision to work in the country. Chevalier will continue to research active faults in and around Xizang actively and contribute to our understanding of how past climate developed to work towards predicting future climate change, another topic near and dear to her heart. She will accomplish this by conducting field research, sharing her findings with scientific community, teaching students who will become tomorrow’s scientists, and raising awareness among local populations about the risks they may face in their lifetime. Chevalier’s mother went to Xizang once, realising her lifelong dreams. Chevalier keeps raising her daughter in this safe and highly international environment, Beijing.

My fourteen years in China have provided me with a constant source of fresh personal and professional experiences,” she said, adding that her mother’s interest in Chinese culture contributed to her decision to work in the country.(谢瓦利埃选择中国作为研究目的地并非偶然。她的研究主要集中在青藏高原。她还在硕士课程开始时与中国科学家合作。“当他们问我博士毕业后是否想加入他们的团队时，我欣然接受并毫无悔意。我在中国的14年为我提供了源源不断的新的个人和专业经验，”她说，并补充说，她母亲对中国文化的兴趣促使她决定在该国工作。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是谢瓦利埃为什么将研究基地设在中国。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“For the past 14 years, she has been studying active faults (断层) in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and how they move.(在过去的14年里，她一直在研究青藏高原的活动断层及其运动方式。)”和文章第四段“Chevalier will continue to research active faults in and around Xizang actively and contribute to our understanding of how past climate developed to work towards predicting future climate change, another topic near and dear to her heart. She will accomplish this by conducting field research, sharing her findings with scientific community, teaching students who will become tomorrow’s scientists, and raising awareness among local populations about the risks they may face in their lifetime.(谢瓦利埃将继续积极研究西藏及其周边地区的活动断层，并致力于让我们了解过去的气候是如何发展的，以预测未来的气候变化，这是另一个她非常关心的课题。她将通过开展实地研究、与科学界分享她的发现、培养未来的科学家学生以及提高当地人口稠密地区的民众对其一生中可能面临的风险的认识来实现这一目标。)”可知，她非常专业和致力于她的研究。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When people ask her daughter where she is from at four years old, she proudly answers, “China!” Chevalier wants to learn more about the Chinese language and culture, continue to enjoy the happiness of the Chinese people, and look forward to seeing what China achieves next!( 当有人问她四岁的女儿来自哪里时，她自豪地回答：“中国！”谢瓦利埃希望更多地了解中国的语言和文化，继续享受中国人民的幸福，并期待看到中国未来的成就！)”可知，作者提到她希望女儿能更多地了解中国的语言和文化，并期待看到中国未来的发展。这表明她对中国的深厚情感和对中国的认同，因此提到她的女儿是为了强调她与中国的紧密联系。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26高三上·山东青岛·期中）It was probably five years ago when I was asked to work with a young comedian called Chris. At that time, he came up with this fun idea of a fictional character called Duncan. When I met ‘Duncan’ for the first time, he was wearing a Heart of Midlothian shirt — the team I never supported. He then started eating a packet of crisps right next to me, which is one of my pet hates. He was a complete disappointment to me and I knew immediately that we were going to have some fun. Before the performance, he handed me the lines, I said I couldn’t say half the things as they were too mean. He convinced me it was fine and I went with it, and honestly, it was so funny. I struggled to keep a straight face. It went viral (迅速走红). He was approached by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe — way beyond my comfort zone. But I was so comfortable with Chris by this point, I agreed to do it. I never knew what Chris was going to do onstage. I just had to go along with it, and then I’d tell funny tennis stories when he went offstage to get ready. Making people laugh gave me the greatest pleasure. I thought back to sitting in the audience many times before and I couldn’t believe that I was up there onstage. For many years, my life was just tennis and it was so lovely to go into someone else’s world. Before I partnered with Chris, my sons started winning big in tennis, which made us famous. I had a hard time from the media, seen as the pushy mum, overbearing and never smiling. The fact is not so. Being in the tennis players’ box is not fun. It’s really stressful and there’s a reason why I wasn’t smiling. When I meet people in everyday life now, they point out that I’m always smiling. It’s really nice that people see that side of me. 1.What’s the author’s first impression of Duncan? A. Annoying. B. Polite. C. Talented. D. Funny. 2.What’s paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Growth in different careers. B. Struggle during performances. C. An embarrassing experience in theater. D. An unexpected journey on comedy stage. 3.What’s the author’s attitude to this experience? A. Discouraged. B. Regretful. C. Relieved. D. Grateful. 4.Which of the following might be the best title of the text? A. The Price of Viral Fame B. A New Stage Beyond Tennis C. The Intense Pressure on Stage D. Courtside Tears of a Tennis Mum 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者从网球领域跨界到喜剧舞台的经历，不仅收获了快乐，也让人们看到了她不同的一面。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When I met ‘Duncan’ for the first time, he was wearing a Heart of Midlothian shirt — the team I never supported.

Led by one man, Saji Valuvassery, this floating classroom is teaching people to swim — for free. More than a skill, it’s a lifeline, a community spirit, and a powerful reminder that courage can be contagious (具有感染力的). On a quiet February morning in 2009, a school picnic to the scenic spot near the Periyar River turned into a disaster. A boat carrying 15 kids and their teacher overturned in the river, leaving no survivors. The disaster shook Saji Valuvassery, a shop owner. Haunted (困扰) by the thought of the young lives lost, he began offering swimming classes in the very river that had taken them, for free. Little did he know that this simple gesture would turn the banks of the Periyar River into a place filled with laughter and community warmth. Saji began by teaching his own kids to swim, then their friends, and then a few kids from around the neighbourhood. Word spread. More kids came. Then adults. Today, that small effort has become the “Valasseril River Swimming Club”. Over 10,000 people have learned to swim here, and 2,000 children have been trained to swim across 780 metres of the river — all in one go. The swimming classes have also grown into a space for sharing knowledge and stories, where everyone who learns is encouraged to give back, keeping the spirit of community flowing as constantly as the river itself. “Once anyone passes their advanced swimming level, they are required to do 6 days of free service, to ensure others’ safety,” explains Saji. The Valasseril River Swimming Club teaches people from November to May. It pauses (暂停) during the monsoon season (季风季节) and reopens in November, when the river is calm and safe again. Every November, when it restarts, volunteers return voluntarily, led by their shared sense of purpose. When asked what keeps people coming back, Saji simply says, “People go to places where they find happiness.” 1.Why did Saji start the swimming classes? A. To connect with volunteers. B. To enrich community activities. C. To profit from teaching swimming. D. To stop people from dying in water. 2.What does the author want to show with the figures in paragraph 3? A. The challenge facing Saji’s swimming club. B. Saji’s wide influence on kids in the community. C. The popularity of swimming near the Periyar River. D. Saji’s remarkable achievement in swimming education. 3.What will advanced swimmers need to do after completing their training? A. Teach swimming skills for free. B. Serve as a short-term safety guardian. C. Share their stories with other learners. D. Volunteer during the monsoon season. 4.Which of the following best describes Saji? A. Selfless and caring. B. Courageous but impractical. C. Curious but impatient. D. Brave and generous. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. B　4.

Her eyes swept from the decorations on the wall to the red Turkish mat on the floor. She stopped at a glass and yellow cake trolley — a gift from my mother. On top sat a manuscript: the handwritten memoirs of a ninety-nine-year-old World War II veteran. His daughter had asked for my help turning his stories into a literary family legacy. The investigator moved to the living room. A curtain, trimmed with crystal beads, hung from a French window. The sunlight made the crystals swing, casting rainbows on the ceiling. “I made it myself,” I said. “I love the cherry-red fabric.” She nodded and approached the bookshelf. She ran her finger along the spines, mouthing titles of autobiography, then moved to a pink wardrobe filled with family photos, a globe, and travel souvenirs. Room by room, she made notes. When she finished, she said, “I’ve got everything I need. A full profile on you.” As I read her analysis, I learned more about my preferences, talents, and style — things I hadn’t fully recognized before. This profile became the first step toward designing a life aligned with my unique joys and skills. In truth, the private investigator was me. I learned of this self-discovery exercise called The Private-Eye Game. It opened my eyes to my authentic self, guiding me to create a lifestyle that truly reflected my talents and desires. The exercise is simple: examine your life from this detective perspective. In your home or workspace, look closely at your belongings and note what they reveal about you. Search for subtle clues that tell you about your interests and talents. Once you’ve gathered information, write a “portrait of yourself” — a detailed profile. Reflect on it: Are there surprises? When I did this, I realized my wardrobe choices didn’t reflect my true style. I preferred comfort and light colors over high heels and reds. I discovered my love of travel, curiosity about cultures, and talent for drawing out people’s stories. These insights helped me craft a richer, more fulfilling life. What might you uncover? Your personal space holds clues about your talents, interests, and desires — things you may have overlooked. With greater clarity, you can make conscious choices to live more authentically, beyond just your home. 1.What was the investigator doing in the author’s room? A. Investigating a crime. B. Appreciating the room. C. Collecting information. D. Searching for a manuscript. 2.What is The Private-Eye Game intended for? A. Building a virtual life. B. Discovering one’s true self. C. Creating a personal space. D. Developing one’s potential. 3.What can we know about the writer? A. She likes red stuff. B. She ignores her strengths. C. She is good at story writing. D. She dislikes tidying up rooms. 4.What can we learn from the story? A. People with a detailed profile enjoy a fulfilling life. B. A shift in perspective reveals one’s hidden aspects. C. Self-discovery requires reevaluating possessions. D. An original portrait displays one’s inner world. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. C　4.

They came with candies and a toy, and you never knew what surprises lay within. Now I still love surprise bags, but I open a different type of surprise bag: one filled with artifacts (手工制品). Part of my job in a museum is cataloguing (编入目录) unprocessed donations. Sometimes when a collection arrives, it is in a sorry state after being excavated (挖掘). It is often covered in dirt, and it can be difficult to tell exactly what each item is. That’s where the fun part starts. I get to wash everything and then discover the artifacts that are revealed! There is nothing like the feeling of being the first to see a piece of history after it has been conserved, particularly with the knowledge of its possible age of thousands of years. Once washed and dried, the artifacts are identified with the help of the museum’s comparative collections, which have been thoughtfully organized over many years in order to show representative examples of different types of artifacts. After being identified, the artifacts are entered into the museum’s collections database. Once on the database, a unique catalogue card must be printed for each artifact. Next, the artifacts are labeled with a unique catalogue number and put away in our storage room. This detailed process of record-keeping, as well as maintaining a properly organized collections storage room, is an important part of collections management. It allows us to know where each artifact is at all times and makes it convenient for researchers to access our collections. I started working in the museum world 25 years ago, and I have been lucky enough to work with the wonderful surprises that this fascinating discipline offers. Come visit a museum — you never know what surprises await you! 1.What does the author suggest by mentioning her childhood surprise bags? A. Her expertise in artifacts. B. The joy of unexpected discovery. C. Her early connection to artifacts. D. The importance of collecting rare items. 2.How does the author feel about cleaning the items? A. Excited. B. Peaceful. C. Regretful. D. Tired. 3.What is the primary purpose of the detailed cataloguing process? A. To make the most of the storage room. B. To prepare artifacts for public exhibition. C. To keep a comprehensive historical record. D. To track the precise location of every artifact. 4.What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Great hopes make great men. C. Knowledge keeps heritage alive. D. Passion turns routine into purpose. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在博物馆工作中处理捐赠文物、享受发现历史惊喜的经历。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was younger, I loved opening surprise bags.

When she went onto secondary school, she started to struggle more academically and her family worried she was getting in with the wrong crowd, so a great aunt offered to pay the fees to send her to the private Haberdashers’ Monmouth School in Wales. Lathey went all out and defied expectations to do well enough in her GCSEs to win a place at sixth-form college. “Everyone was more than shocked and they started to see me through a different lens.” She moved to London to study speech sciences at University College London, where she was considered a “disabled student” due to her dyslexia. After graduating, she initially moved back to Wales and got a job working for the local National Health Service for three years before realizing that to spread her wings, she would have to move back to the capital. The next job, at the Royal Free hospital in northwest London, was where she met her husband Rhodri and they moved together to Oxford, where they started the Owl Centre. It now specializes in autism and ADHD diagnoses (诊断) and speech and language treatment. At first their practice taught English to foreign students, but when that failed to pay the bills, Lathey started offering private speech treatment sessions. Her father-in-law invested £5,000, which was enough to create a website, put in a phone line and pay for some basic resources for the children’s assessments. The company grew quickly, and in 2015, they had opened further Owl Centers in Hertfordshire, Manchester and Cardiff. Today, the company operates two physical sites in Cheltenham and Oxford. However, the large majority of assessments are done online. “It’s true there’s been a huge increase in the rate of diagnosis across the country, particularly among adults,” Lathey said. But she added: “That is because the signs have been missed in childhood, not necessarily because everyone is following the wellbeing trend. We have very strict diagnostic criteria.” 1.What does “defied” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Stress over. B. Manage down. C. Set up. D. Go beyond. 2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.

Over decades, Arrillaga’s generous donations and hands-on efforts reshaped Stanford’s campus. Though best known for athletic facilities, his true impact extended far beyond. As his longtime friend John Etchemendy noted, “Hundreds of projects bear his mark, yet rarely his name.” Nowhere was this quiet dedication clearer than in the reconstruction of Stanford Stadium. He personally funded and oversaw every detail — from selecting palm trees to designing seats to mapping walkways — yet refused to put his name on it. Born into a working-class family, young Arrillaga couldn’t afford a proper suit for his high school graduation, having to borrow an ill-fitting jacket with sleeves that barely reached his wrists. He unexpectedly attended Stanford on a basketball scholarship, working multiple campus jobs to make ends meet. After playing professionally in Spain, he returned to develop Silicon Valley offices during the tech boom, becoming a billionaire. True to his humble beginnings, he started repaying Stanford almost immediately after graduation — beginning with modest athletic department gifts that grew into historic donations exceeding $250 million. Through his scholarship programs, he’s helped over 300 students facing similar financial challenges. One day, a young donor moved by Arrillaga’s generosity shared how witnessing the selfless giving had profoundly shaped his devotion to charitable work. Realizing the ripple (涟漪) effect of his actions through others, Arrillaga months later made a rare exception: he permitted his name to appear on just one building — not for personal distinction, but as a nod to the power of leading by example. While his benefaction helped communities across Silicon Valley through donations to police stations, libraries, and other public spaces, his strongest ties always remained with Stanford University. 1.What was Arrillaga’s key role in the stadium reconstruction? A. A landscape designer. B. A stadium co-investor. C. A full-project supporter. D. A building material producer. 2.What motivated Arrillaga’s lifelong commitment to Stanford? A. The fate-changing scholarship. B. The desire for public recognition. C. The billionaire lifestyle experience. D. The business investment strategies. 3.Why did Arrillaga finally allow his name to appear on one building? A. To accept praise from the public. B. To inspire more charitable actions. C. To fulfill a request from his university. D. To show the ripple effect of athletics. 4.What does Arrillaga’s experience show? A. Wealth necessitates public display. B. Athletic excellence drives social change. C. Humble beginnings can lead to fortunes. D. Silent impact outweighs visible recognition. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了硅谷先驱开发者John Arrillaga Sr出身平凡，凭借自身努力成为亿万富翁后，以匿名捐赠为主、总额超2.5亿美元支持斯坦福大学建设及学生资助，同时助力硅谷社区发展，最终为激励他人破例在一栋建筑署名的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He personally funded and oversaw every detail—from selecting palm trees to designing seats to mapping walkways—yet refused to put his name on it.(他亲自出资并监督每个细节——从挑选棕榈树、设计座椅到规划人行道 —— 却拒绝在体育场冠以自己的名字。)”可知，Arrillaga在体育场重建中亲自出资，且全程监督从景观、座椅到通道规划的所有细节，是整个项目的全面支持者。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He unexpectedly attended Stanford on a basketball scholarship, working multiple campus jobs to make ends meet. After playing professionally in Spain,he returned to develop Silicon Valley offices during the tech boom, becoming a billionaire. True to his humble beginnings, he started repaying Stanford almost immediately after graduation—beginning with modest athletic department gifts that grew into historic donations exceeding $250 million.(出乎意料的是，他获得了斯坦福大学的篮球奖学金，在校园里打了好几份工来维持生计。在西班牙打过职业球员后，他在科技繁荣时期回到硅谷开设了办事处，成为了亿万富翁。正如他出身卑微一样，他毕业后几乎立即开始偿还斯坦福大学的捐款——从体育部门的小额捐款开始，后来发展成为超过2.5亿美元的历史性捐款。)”可知，Arrillaga凭借篮球奖学金才得以进入斯坦福大学，这份改变命运的资助，是他毕生致力于回馈斯坦福的核心动力。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Realizing the ripple (涟漪) effect of his actions through others, Arrillaga months later made a rare exception: he permitted his name to appear on just one building—not for personal distinction, but as a nod to the power of leading by example.(意识到自己的行为对他人产生的涟漪效应，几个月后，Arrillaga做了一个罕见的例外：他只允许自己的名字出现在一栋建筑上——不是为了个人荣誉，而是对以身作则的力量的认可。)”可知，Arrillaga意识到自己的行为能产生涟漪效应，允许在一栋建筑上署名并非为个人荣誉，而是为了发挥以身作则的力量，激励更多人参与慈善。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As his longtime friend John Etchemendy noted, “Hundreds of projects bear his mark, yet rarely his name.”(正如他的老友John Etchemendy所言：“数百个项目都留有他的印记，却鲜有项目署他的名字。”)”、第三段“True to his humble beginnings, he started repaying Stanford almost immediately after graduation—beginning with modest athletic department gifts that grew into historic donations exceeding $250 million.(正如他出身卑微一样，他毕业后几乎立即开始偿还斯坦福大学的捐款——从体育部门的小额捐款开始，后来发展成为超过2.5亿美元的历史性捐款。)”以及第四段“Realizing the ripple (涟漪) effect of his actions through others, Arrillaga months later made a rare exception: he permitted his name to appear on just one building—not for personal distinction, but as a nod to the power of leading by example.(意识到自己的行为对他人产生的涟漪效应，几个月后，Arrillaga做了一个罕见的例外：他只允许自己的名字出现在一栋建筑上——不是为了个人荣誉，而是对以身作则的力量的认可。)”可知，Arrillaga的核心特质是低调奉献，不追求署名与认可，却以实际行动产生深远影响，体现了无声的影响胜过显性的认可。故选D。 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东济南第一中学·期中）The bell for lunch rang at Glendale Primary School. However, instead of heading to the canteen like all the other children did, Jonah, a new student at the school, went to the library. Other than the noise of the air-conditioner, the library was quiet and there was barely a soul in sight. Far in a corner, he spotted Mrs Lim, the librarian, who was too busy shelving some books to pay any attention to him. The library was near to the canteen. Jonah could hear children laughing and chatting. He wished he was outside playing with some friends but he did not let this bother him. Suddenly, Jonah heard a sound in the corner. He looked around and saw a pair of eyes looking at him from behind, the bookshelves. Jonah turned back, eyes as wide as saucers (茶碟). “Oh dear!” he whispered. He peeked (窥视) over his shoulder again and saw a smaller boy walking towards him. The boy pulled out the chair next to Jonah and sat down. “I’m Henry. Why are you reading here when you could be playing with your friends instead?” asked he. “Uh...” Jonah looked around the library, avoiding Henry’s gaze (注视). He did not want Henry to know the real reason why he was in the library. What would Henry think of him if he knew Jonah did not have any friends? It would make Jonah feel more uncomfortable. As Jonah turned the page, he realized Henry was still sitting there, watching him steadily. “I know how you feel. Just say hello to someone today,” Henry encouraged Jonah. “I promise they’ll respond. Once you’ve made the first move, it just gets easier.” Jonah appreciated the advice and thanked him before making his way out of the library. In the hallway outside the library, a boy from Jonah’s class was crouched on the floor, picking up pens and pencils that had dropped out of his pencil case. Jonah remembered what Henry had advised him to do. “Hello, I’m Jonah. Let me help you,” he offered. The boy looked up at him. “Thank you! My name is Ruben.” Victory at last, Jonah thought, feeling proud of himself. 1.What can we know from the text? A. The thought of playing outside bothered Jonah. B. The library was not crowded at lunchtime. C. The librarian was annoyed by the noise outside. D. Jonah had had lunch before going to the library. 2.Why were Jonah’s eyes “as wide as saucers” in paragraph 2? A. He turned too quickly and felt a little dizzy. B. He was shocked by the pair of eyes peeking at him. C. He was too thin because of lacking enough nutrition. D. He didn’t expect the smaller boy would come to him. 3.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Jonah’s not having any friends in the school. B. Henry’s impoliteness in asking the question. C. Jonah’s shyness after he found Henry’s gaze. D. Henry’s thought of Jonah if he knew Jonah’s real situation. 4.Why was Jonah proud of himself at last? A. He had never doubted or forgotten Henry’s advice. B. He had completed a good deed of helping a classmate. C. He had managed to overcome his fear and shyness. D. He had met a classmate who was in the same situation. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. D　4.

It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak and Archie. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I regarded diving into all-text novels as a formidable undertaking. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex narratives through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. Growing older, I found myself graduating to graphic novels from childish comic books. They deal with serious topics in a more engaging manner and literally show me what was going on. Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. While I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his novel, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit first. Thanks to Charles Dixon, I had a picture of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand J.R.R. Tolkien’s version. From black and white strips to illustrated graphic novels, this transformation has come a long way. While my romance with books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for illustrated novels is more substantial and here to stay. 1.What can we learn about the author as a little kid? A. He mined newspapers for knowledge. B. Comics struck him as shallow. C. He cared little for book categories. D. Comics were his main reading joy. 2.What does the underlined word “formidable” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Discouraging. B. Rewarding. C. Entertaining. D. Enlightening. 3.What can be inferred about Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit? A. It contains rich visual material. B. It presents a complicated plot. C. It focuses on the latest news. D. It shapes Tolkien’s writing style. 4.What could be the best title for the text? A. Welcome to the World of Literature B. Can’t Get Enough of Graphic Novels C. Let Comic Books Shape Who I Am D. Find Myself through Reading Novels 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从报纸连环漫画到图画小说、再到纯文字小说的阅读历程，以及对图画小说的持久热爱。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak and Archie.(我对漫画世界的初步探索，始于报纸上的连环漫画。一开始是迷上了加菲猫的冒险故事，后来又发现了《钱帕克》、《阿奇》等一系列漫画书。)”可知，作者小时候通过报纸连环漫画接触漫画世界，喜爱加菲猫的冒险故事并探索多种漫画书，漫画是他童年主要的阅读乐趣。故选D。 (2)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I regarded diving into all-text novels as a formidable undertaking. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel.(从小到大我读的都是图文并茂的书，因此一度觉得通读纯文字小说是件……。就在我寻找介于两者之间的书籍时，偶然发现了一本图画小说《Bhimayana》)”可知，作者一直读图文并茂的书，因此觉得纯文字小说是有难度、让人却步的事，才会寻找介于两者之间的书籍。“formidable”在此处表示“令人却步的、有难度的”。选项A“Discouraging”意为“令人气馁的、让人却步的”，与此相符。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his novel, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit first. Thanks to Charles Dixon, I had a picture of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand J.R.R. Tolkien’s version.(虽然小说中扣人心弦的叙事手法给我留下了深刻印象，但如果我没有先读过查尔斯・狄克逊改编的图画小说版《霍比特人》，我不确定自己是否能如此清晰地想象并享受这部纯文字作品。多亏了查尔斯・狄克逊，我对故事中的所有情节都有了画面感，这也让我更容易、更有乐趣地理解了J.R.R.托尔金的原著。)”可知，作者读了查尔斯・狄克逊的《霍比特人》后对故事有了画面感，说明这本书包含丰富的视觉素材，能帮助读者具象化情节。故选A。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及最后一段“While my romance with books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for illustrated novels is more substantial and here to stay.(虽然我对书籍的喜爱仍在继续，但长远来看，我对图画小说的热爱更加深厚，且会一直延续下去。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者对于图画小说的持续热爱。选项B“Can’t Get Enough of Graphic Novels(对图画小说爱不够)”精准概括作者的核心情感与文章主旨。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
