One possible version:
Big Changes in Small Trends
In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in travel preferences. As the chart shows, the percentage of people visiting Internet-famous destinations has dropped from 75% in 2020 to 45% in 2025. Meanwhile, the figure for lesser-known places has risen from 25% to 55%.
This change suggests that more travelers now hope to explore unique locations and enjoy quieter trips instead of joining the crowds. Some want a more authentic cultural experience, and social platforms have helped introduce lesser-known destinations to the public.
By paying attention to these changes in our daily lives, we can broaden our horizons and discover the hidden beauty around us.

(24-25高三下·天津·开学考试)In a world where challenges often define us, true beauty and artistry can be expressed in an unexpected way.
Since the age of three, Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. “The only thing that I loved was dance,” she told CBS News. That ambition nearly 16 in 2010. Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, a small city in California, was in an accident that left her paralyzed from the 17 down. For most people, that would have 18 any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was just the beginning.
19 being an obstacle, her wheelchair empowered her. “I wanted to 20 to my community — and to myself — that I was still ‘normal’.” Hill danced in her wheelchair alongside her non-disabled school dance team. “Half of my body was 21 from me,” Hill told the press, “and it definitely took a lot of learning and 22 .” After graduation, Hill determined to 23 her dance network to include women who had 24 various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries but shared her 25 . “It was such an amazing experience.”
Hoping to reach more people in a 26 city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed the Rollettes. “I want to 27 the stereotype (模式化的思想) of wheelchair users”. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based 28 . In dance competitions, they rocked their bodies to the 29 , and struck poses in dynamic routines. They’re having fun, and as the audiences’ reactions 30 , the fun is infectious.
Hill has 31 what many of us never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else equally 32 . Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users to help them find their 33 strength they’ve never seen before. In 2019, 173 participants who used to lead restricted lives attended her camp. For many, it was the first time they’d had a sense of social 34 .
Hill’s experience proves that limitations are not defined by 35 conditions but by the mindset we choose to adopt.

B(24-25高二下·天津河东·期末)
In the spring of 2012, Premont Independent School District in Premont, Texas, was in trouble. The state had threatened to shut it down for financial problems and academic failures. To cut costs, the district had moved the middle school to the high school building; the elementary school hadn’t had a music teacher in years; and the high school had sealed off the science labs. Yet they still had football, basketball, volleyball, track, tennis, cheerleading, and baseball teams.
So superintendent (监管人) Emest Singleton made a big decision: He canceled sports. By canceling sports, the district could save $150,000 in one year.
In many schools, sports are so popular that no one realizes their actual cost. New bleachers (露天看台) can cost half a million dollars. Maintaining a grass field can cost more than $20,000 a year. Schools also need to pay for various costs for the team, the band, and the cheerleaders. For home games, schools often pay for security, painting the lines on the field, and cleaning up.
Distraction, however, may be the greatest cost of all. During football season in particular, focus shifts away from learning. Players spend long hours practicing to late-night.
Fall of 2012 at Premont was extremely quiet. There were no Friday night games to look forward to, no cheerleaders making posters in the hallway.
But this quiet had an advantage. That first semester,80 percent of students passed their classes, compared with 50 percent the previous fall. About 160 people attended parent-teacher night, compared with six the year before.
Today, Premont has no debt, and the district will stay open. The science labs have even been repaired. This past spring, Premont brought back baseball, track, and tennis, but in a limited way.
The district has a lot of work to do before its students can feel the kind of pride in their academics that they once felt in their sports teams. But students have proved their ability to adapt.
Will more schools follow Premont’s lead?
They should.
41.According to Paragraph 1, Premont Independent School District ________.
A.valued music and science B.had to cut costs to stay open
C.paid little attention to sports D.had good high school graduation rates
42.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Sports cost schools a lot of money. B.Sports are very popular in America.
C.American schools think highly of sports. D.Schools should try to cover the cost of sports.
43.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Many students love playing football. B.Sports help students increase their focus.
C.It takes students little effort to play football. D.Sports distract students’ attention from learning.
44.After sports were canceled in Premont, ________.
A.a lot of money was saved B.many other schools canceled sports
C.half of the students passed their exams D.students found it hard to adapt to the new system
45.What is the author’s attitude toward Premont’s action of canceling sports?
A.Curious. B.Doubtful. C.Supportive. D.Disapproving.
C(24-25高二下·天津滨海新区·期中)
Humans have evolved (进化) to spend long periods doing physical exercise. But why doesn’t everyone enjoy exercising? The complexity of the human brain is to blame.
Evolving an ability doesn’t automatically mean we’ll want to use it. While physical exercise isn’t that bad, it’s still typically unpleasant. It has to be: you’re pushing your body to its physical limits, which leads to significant discomfort.
Another issue is that the human brain is highly sensitive to wasted effort. Studies have shown that it calculates the effort required for actions and tends to stop us from squandering vital resources on fruitless efforts, like walking over 30 km for a handful of berries.
The thing is, regular exercise to get “in shape” requires constant and considerable effort — all for gradual progress and uncertain rewards. So, your brain’s tendency to ask, “Is it worth it? ” will be hard to quieten. This particular feature also means we typically prefer things which offer minimum effort for maximum reward.
Thankfully, the human brain is a complex organ. It isn’t ruled by its more primitive drives. While many species’ thought processes are limited to “Food, eat it!”, “Danger, run!”, “Pain, avoid!”, we’ve evolved beyond that. Our brains can form multiple long-term goals and ambitions. We can imagine a desirable future scenario (情况), figure out how we’d achieve it, and do just that. Or at least work toward it. This directly impacts how our brain processes motivation and willpower. It makes us capable of delayed gratification (满足): we can recognize that rejecting a reward now can lead to a greater reward later, and act accordingly.
So how does the brain process motivation? The self-discrepancy (自我差异) theory suggests we have several “selves” active in our minds at any given time: our “actual” self, our “ideal” self, and our “ought” self. Your “actual” self is how you are right now. Your “ideal” self is what you want to be. And your “ought” self is the self that does what you ought to be doing to become your “ideal” self. So, if your “ideal” self is a professional footballer, and your “actual” self isn’t, your “ought” self is the one that spends a lot of time training, exercising, and getting better at football.
As far as your brain is concerned, there are processes that discourage exercise, and processes that encourage it. Ideally, you’ll end up putting more weight on the latter than the former.
46.What can be learnt from the first two paragraphs?
A.Some people are born physically weaker than others.
B.Some people dislike driving themselves too hard physically.
C.Most people have the habit of doing physical exercise.
D.Most people do physical exercise for comfort and pleasure.
47.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 3?
A.Conserving. B.Mixing. C.Misusing. D.Sharing.
48.What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 4?
A.To raise a question. B.To provide a definition.
C.To make a comparison. D.To further explain a point.
49.According to the author, how are humans different from many other species?
A.Humans are able to picture a favorable future.
B.Humans benefit more from painful experiences.
C.Humans care more about immediate rewards.
D.Humans are skilled at avoiding dangers.
50.According to the self-discrepancy theory, who presents the most active “ought” self?
A.A footballer dreaming of becoming a movie star.
B.A student eating potato chips while watching TV.
C.A professional dancer performing at a theatre.
D.A swimmer training to win an Olympic medal.
D(2025·天津·高考真题)
Ask most people what “the good life” involves, and they will likely draw up a rapid list of goods — money, friendship, a rewarding career, etc. Even Aristotle, who believed that the key to happiness is the cultivation (培养) and exercise of virtue, still thought certain goods were either necessary conditions for happiness or were goods that came to virtuous people.
If we’re comparing how happy various people’s lives are, it seems natural to look for certain goods, and compare who has more of them. Let’s imagine the lives of two actors, Toby and Ybot. Toby struggles to get work for many years, suffering all sorts of difficulties. He becomes a famous and wealthy actor, and wins an Oscar for his final movie before retiring. Ybot, however, wins an Oscar for his very first film role. But over time he becomes less famous and less well paid, and he begins to suffer difficulties. In the end, he retires as a nobody.
These two actors’ lives, like their names, are mirror-images. Toby and Ybot both seem to lead lives of equal net worth. Yet most of us would think that the ordering of these goods does make a decisive difference to how we compare Toby and Ybot’s careers. Someone who climbs a mountain will experience more struggle than someone who gets carried to the peak by bus, but the climber will also have a sense of accomplishment the other person may well envy. In that sense, we might think Toby’s life is better because his highs seem more well-earned than Ybot’s do.
But that’s not the whole story. The narrative (叙述) itself seems to make a difference. A life of early success followed by decline seems like a less overall successful life than one where success comes later in the day. Where the story ends seems to matter in itself. We value happy endings, not just happy moments.
This immediate judgment finds expression in what’s been called the “shape of life” hypothesis (假说). On this view, living a good life is not simply about having the right kind of experiences or life-events, but of having them in the right order. The hypothesis suggests that our lives are not simply bags into which we stuff good things and bad things. The type of life — the narrative of that life-story — matters too. Without the right shape, even a life full of wondrous things can end up as a tale we’d prefer not to live out.
51.What can be learned about Aristotle’s view on happiness?
A.Goods contribute to happiness. B.Virtuous people may not be happy.
C.Too many goods reduce happiness. D.Happy people care less about goods.
52.According to the author, what do both Toby and Ybot experience?
A.They start from a humble beginning. B.They reach the same height in career.
C.They recover from the same sufferings. D.They retire with honour from the film industry.
53.What does the author try to convey with the example of mountain climbing?
A.Easy success is often envied. B.There are various paths to success.
C.Fierce struggle is vital to success. D.Hard-earned success is treasured more.
54.In writing Paragraph 4, the author tries to________.
A.introduce another topic B.draw a conclusion
C.further an argument D.provide new evidence
55.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.To Shape Your Life with Good Deeds. B.Defining the Shape of a Good Life.
C.The Essential Components of Good Life. D.How We Can Have a Good Shape of Life.

(2023·天津·高考真题)Growing up in San Francisco, Grace Young used to watch her father shop daily in Chinatown for whatever he needed to make traditional Chinese meals at home. As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms. Young, now 66, has spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown.
Ms. Young developed a passion for cooking at an early age. At 13, she started to sit in on cooking classes. After college, Ms. Young moved to New York and worked in a book-packaging company. In her 30s, she realized that while she had helped create more than 40 cookbooks, she didn’t know how to make the dishes that tasted of home. “I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I could give my family and the next generation.” she says.
Yet what began as a recipe book became a kind of memoir. Talking about food encouraged her parents to finally open up about their past, like the fact that her father had owned a Chinatown restaurant in the 1940s. “It was really an amazing way to learn not only my family’s recipes, but also my family’s story. “she says. The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen (1999) launched Ms. Young’s work in preserving and sustaining Chinese culinary (烹饪的)traditions.
Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This year, instead of cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with various dishes from local restaurants in Chinatown. “If these restaurants don’t survive, Chinese culinary traditions in our city won’t survive.” she says.

(24-25高三下·天津·开学考试)In a world where challenges often define us, true beauty and artistry can be expressed in an unexpected way.
Since the age of three, Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. “The only thing that I loved was dance,” she told CBS News. That ambition nearly 16 in 2010. Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, a small city in California, was in an accident that left her paralyzed from the 17 down. For most people, that would have 18 any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was just the beginning.
19 being an obstacle, her wheelchair empowered her. “I wanted to 20 to my community — and to myself — that I was still ‘normal’.” Hill danced in her wheelchair alongside her non-disabled school dance team. “Half of my body was 21 from me,” Hill told the press, “and it definitely took a lot of learning and 22 .” After graduation, Hill determined to 23 her dance network to include women who had 24 various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries but shared her 25 . “It was such an amazing experience.”
Hoping to reach more people in a 26 city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed the Rollettes. “I want to 27 the stereotype (模式化的思想) of wheelchair users”. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based 28 . In dance competitions, they rocked their bodies to the 29 , and struck poses in dynamic routines. They’re having fun, and as the audiences’ reactions 30 , the fun is infectious.
Hill has 31 what many of us never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else equally 32 . Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users to help them find their 33 strength they’ve never seen before. In 2019, 173 participants who used to lead restricted lives attended her camp. For many, it was the first time they’d had a sense of social 34 .
Hill’s experience proves that limitations are not defined by 35 conditions but by the mindset we choose to adopt.

B(24-25高二下·天津河东·期末)
In the spring of 2012, Premont Independent School District in Premont, Texas, was in trouble. The state had threatened to shut it down for financial problems and academic failures. To cut costs, the district had moved the middle school to the high school building; the elementary school hadn’t had a music teacher in years; and the high school had sealed off the science labs. Yet they still had football, basketball, volleyball, track, tennis, cheerleading, and baseball teams.
So superintendent (监管人) Emest Singleton made a big decision: He canceled sports. By canceling sports, the district could save $150,000 in one year.
In many schools, sports are so popular that no one realizes their actual cost. New bleachers (露天看台) can cost half a million dollars. Maintaining a grass field can cost more than $20,000 a year. Schools also need to pay for various costs for the team, the band, and the cheerleaders. For home games, schools often pay for security, painting the lines on the field, and cleaning up.
Distraction, however, may be the greatest cost of all. During football season in particular, focus shifts away from learning. Players spend long hours practicing to late-night.
Fall of 2012 at Premont was extremely quiet. There were no Friday night games to look forward to, no cheerleaders making posters in the hallway.
But this quiet had an advantage. That first semester,80 percent of students passed their classes, compared with 50 percent the previous fall. About 160 people attended parent-teacher night, compared with six the year before.
Today, Premont has no debt, and the district will stay open. The science labs have even been repaired. This past spring, Premont brought back baseball, track, and tennis, but in a limited way.
The district has a lot of work to do before its students can feel the kind of pride in their academics that they once felt in their sports teams. But students have proved their ability to adapt.
Will more schools follow Premont’s lead?
They should.
41.According to Paragraph 1, Premont Independent School District ________.
A.valued music and science B.had to cut costs to stay open
C.paid little attention to sports D.had good high school graduation rates
42.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Sports cost schools a lot of money. B.Sports are very popular in America.
C.American schools think highly of sports. D.Schools should try to cover the cost of sports.
43.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Many students love playing football. B.Sports help students increase their focus.
C.It takes students little effort to play football. D.Sports distract students’ attention from learning.
44.After sports were canceled in Premont, ________.
A.a lot of money was saved B.many other schools canceled sports
C.half of the students passed their exams D.students found it hard to adapt to the new system
45.What is the author’s attitude toward Premont’s action of canceling sports?
A.Curious. B.Doubtful. C.Supportive. D.Disapproving.
【答案】41.B 42.A 43.D 44.A 45.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了德克萨斯州的Premont学区因财务和学业问题取消体育活动,节省资金且学生成绩提升、家长参与度增加,作者支持此举。
【详解】41.细节理解题。根据第一段“The state had threatened to shut it down for financial problems and academic failures. To cut costs, the district had moved the middle school to the high school building; the elementary school hadn’t had a music teacher in years; and the high school had sealed off the science labs.(该州曾因财政问题和学业失败威胁要关闭该校。为了削减成本,该学区将中学搬到了高中大楼;那所小学已经很多年没有音乐老师了;高中已经封锁了科学实验室。)”可知,该学区因为财政问题和学业成绩不佳面临关闭的威胁,为了削减成本采取了一系列措施。所以它必须削减成本来维持学校的运营。故选B项。
42.主旨大意题。根据第三段“New bleachers (露天看台) can cost half a million dollars. Maintaining a grass field can cost more than $20,000 a year. Schools also need to pay for various costs for the team, the band, and the cheerleaders.(新的露天看台要花费50万美元。维护一片草地每年要花费2万多美元。学校还需要支付球队、乐队和啦啦队员的各种费用。)”可知,列举了建造露天看台、维护草坪、支付团队等各种费用,主要是说明体育活动花费学校很多钱。故选A项。
43.推理判断题。根据第四段“Distraction, however, may be the greatest cost of all. During football season in particular, focus shifts away from learning. Players spend long hours practicing to late-night.( 然而,分心可能是最大的代价。特别是在足球赛季,人们的注意力从学习上转移了。选手们花很长时间练习到深夜。)”可知,体育活动分散了学生学习的注意力。故选D项。
44.细节理解题。根据第二段“By canceling sports, the district could save$150,000 in one year.( 通过取消体育活动,该学区可以在一年内节省15万美元。)”可知,取消体育活动后,该学区一年能节省15万美元。故选A项。
45.推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者在文中讲述了Premont 学区取消体育活动后带来的积极变化,如学生成绩提高、家长参与度增加、学校没有债务等,并且最后文章末尾说“Will more schools follow Premont’s lead? They should.( 会有更多的学校效仿Premont吗?他们应该。)”由此可知,表明作者支持 Premont 取消体育活动的做法。故选C项。
C(24-25高二下·天津滨海新区·期中)
Humans have evolved (进化) to spend long periods doing physical exercise. But why doesn’t everyone enjoy exercising? The complexity of the human brain is to blame.
Evolving an ability doesn’t automatically mean we’ll want to use it. While physical exercise isn’t that bad, it’s still typically unpleasant. It has to be: you’re pushing your body to its physical limits, which leads to significant discomfort.
Another issue is that the human brain is highly sensitive to wasted effort. Studies have shown that it calculates the effort required for actions and tends to stop us from squandering vital resources on fruitless efforts, like walking over 30 km for a handful of berries.
The thing is, regular exercise to get “in shape” requires constant and considerable effort — all for gradual progress and uncertain rewards. So, your brain’s tendency to ask, “Is it worth it? ” will be hard to quieten. This particular feature also means we typically prefer things which offer minimum effort for maximum reward.
Thankfully, the human brain is a complex organ. It isn’t ruled by its more primitive drives. While many species’ thought processes are limited to “Food, eat it!”, “Danger, run!”, “Pain, avoid!”, we’ve evolved beyond that. Our brains can form multiple long-term goals and ambitions. We can imagine a desirable future scenario (情况), figure out how we’d achieve it, and do just that. Or at least work toward it. This directly impacts how our brain processes motivation and willpower. It makes us capable of delayed gratification (满足): we can recognize that rejecting a reward now can lead to a greater reward later, and act accordingly.
So how does the brain process motivation? The self-discrepancy (自我差异) theory suggests we have several “selves” active in our minds at any given time: our “actual” self, our “ideal” self, and our “ought” self. Your “actual” self is how you are right now. Your “ideal” self is what you want to be. And your “ought” self is the self that does what you ought to be doing to become your “ideal” self. So, if your “ideal” self is a professional footballer, and your “actual” self isn’t, your “ought” self is the one that spends a lot of time training, exercising, and getting better at football.
As far as your brain is concerned, there are processes that discourage exercise, and processes that encourage it. Ideally, you’ll end up putting more weight on the latter than the former.
46.What can be learnt from the first two paragraphs?
A.Some people are born physically weaker than others.
B.Some people dislike driving themselves too hard physically.
C.Most people have the habit of doing physical exercise.
D.Most people do physical exercise for comfort and pleasure.
47.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 3?
A.Conserving. B.Mixing. C.Misusing. D.Sharing.
48.What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 4?
A.To raise a question. B.To provide a definition.

49.According to the author, how are humans different from many other species?
A.Humans are able to picture a favorable future.
B.Humans benefit more from painful experiences.

D.Humans are skilled at avoiding dangers.
50.According to the self-discrepancy theory, who presents the most active “ought” self?

【答案】46.B 47.C 48.D 49.A 50.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了并非人人都喜欢体育锻炼的原因,指出这是因为人脑对无谓的努力很抵触且锻炼本身的回报不确定,不过大脑能形成长期目标、处理动机,我们能学会延时满足,为目标不懈努力。
【详解】46.推理判断题。根据第一段中“But why doesn’t everyone enjoy exercising? (但是为什么不是每个人都喜欢锻炼呢?)”和第二段中“While physical exercise isn’t that bad, it’s still typically unpleasant. It has to be: you’re pushing your body to its physical limits, which leads to significant discomfort. (虽然体育锻炼并没有那么糟糕,但它通常还是令人不愉快的。这是必然的:你正在把你的身体推向它的身体极限,这导致了明显的不适)”可知,有些人不喜欢锻炼是身体被迫达到体能极限时会感到明显不适。由此可知,有些人不喜欢对自己的身体施加太大的压力。故选B项。
47.词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Another issue is that the human brain is highly sensitive to wasted effort. Studies have shown that it calculates the effort required for actions (另一个问题是,人类的大脑对浪费精力非常敏感。研究表明,它可以计算出行动所需的努力)”可知,人脑对无谓的努力很抵触。由此可知,此处指“它会阻止我们将重要资源浪费在无效的努力上”,画线词意思应该是“浪费,滥用”,与Misusing意思相近。故选C项。
48.推理判断题。第三段中的“Another issue is that the human brain is highly sensitive to wasted effort. (另一个问题是,人类的大脑对浪费精力非常敏感)”指出人脑对无谓的努力很抵触,第四段“The thing is, regular exercise to get “in shape” requires constant and considerable effort — all for gradual progress and uncertain rewards. So, your brain’s tendency to ask, “Is it worth it? ” will be hard to quieten. This particular feature also means we typically prefer things which offer minimum effort for maximum reward (问题是,有规律的锻炼来保持“身材”需要持续和相当大的努力——所有这些都是渐进的,回报是不确定的。所以,你的大脑问“这值得吗?”问题的倾向将很难平息。这个特殊的特征也意味着我们通常更喜欢那些付出最少努力却获得最大回报的东西)”用规律锻炼以保持身材的例子具体说明人脑的这种工作机制。由此可知,作者写第四段的目的是进一步解释上文的观点。故选D项。
49.细节理解题。根据第五段中“While many species’ thought processes are limited to “Food, eat it!”, “Danger, run!”, “Pain, avoid!”, we’ve evolved beyond that. Our brains can form multiple long-term goals and ambitions. We can imagine a desirable future scenario (情况), figure out how we’d achieve it, and do just that. (虽然许多物种的思维过程仅限于“食物,吃它!”、“危险,快跑!”、“痛苦,躲避!”,我们已经超越了这一点。我们的大脑可以形成多个长期目标和抱负。我们可以想象一个理想的未来场景,弄清楚我们如何实现它,然后去做)”可知,人类与许多其他物种的不同之处在于,人类能够想象一个美好的未来。故选A项。
50.推理判断题。根据第六段中“And your “ought” self is the self that does what you ought to be doing to become your “ideal” self. So, if your “ideal” self is a professional footballer, and your “actual” self isn’t, your “ought” self is the one that spends a lot of time training, exercising, and getting better at football. (你的“应该”自我就是做你应该做的事情来成为你的“理想”自我的那个自我。所以,如果你的“理想”自我是一名职业足球运动员,而你的“实际”自我不是,那么你的“应该”自我就是花大量时间训练、锻炼,并在足球方面做得更好的那个人)”可知,“自我差异”理论认为“应该”自我会使人为奋斗目标持续努力。由此可知,为赢得奥运奖牌而训练的游泳运动员表现出最活跃的“应该”自我。故选D项。
D(2025·天津·高考真题)
Ask most people what “the good life” involves, and they will likely draw up a rapid list of goods — money, friendship, a rewarding career, etc. Even Aristotle, who believed that the key to happiness is the cultivation (培养) and exercise of virtue, still thought certain goods were either necessary conditions for happiness or were goods that came to virtuous people.
If we’re comparing how happy various people’s lives are, it seems natural to look for certain goods, and compare who has more of them. Let’s imagine the lives of two actors, Toby and Ybot. Toby struggles to get work for many years, suffering all sorts of difficulties. He becomes a famous and wealthy actor, and wins an Oscar for his final movie before retiring. Ybot, however, wins an Oscar for his very first film role. But over time he becomes less famous and less well paid, and he begins to suffer difficulties. In the end, he retires as a nobody.
These two actors’ lives, like their names, are mirror-images. Toby and Ybot both seem to lead lives of equal net worth. Yet most of us would think that the ordering of these goods does make a decisive difference to how we compare Toby and Ybot’s careers. Someone who climbs a mountain will experience more struggle than someone who gets carried to the peak by bus, but the climber will also have a sense of accomplishment the other person may well envy. In that sense, we might think Toby’s life is better because his highs seem more well-earned than Ybot’s do.
But that’s not the whole story. The narrative (叙述) itself seems to make a difference. A life of early success followed by decline seems like a less overall successful life than one where success comes later in the day. Where the story ends seems to matter in itself. We value happy endings, not just happy moments.
This immediate judgment finds expression in what’s been called the “shape of life” hypothesis (假说). On this view, living a good life is not simply about having the right kind of experiences or life-events, but of having them in the right order. The hypothesis suggests that our lives are not simply bags into which we stuff good things and bad things. The type of life — the narrative of that life-story — matters too. Without the right shape, even a life full of wondrous things can end up as a tale we’d prefer not to live out.
51.What can be learned about Aristotle’s view on happiness?
A.Goods contribute to happiness. B.Virtuous people may not be happy.
C.Too many goods reduce happiness. D.Happy people care less about goods.
52.According to the author, what do both Toby and Ybot experience?
A.They start from a humble beginning. B.They reach the same height in career.
C.They recover from the same sufferings. D.They retire with honour from the film industry.
53.What does the author try to convey with the example of mountain climbing?
A.Easy success is often envied. B.There are various paths to success.
C.Fierce struggle is vital to success. D.Hard-earned success is treasured more.
54.In writing Paragraph 4, the author tries to________.
A.introduce another topic B.draw a conclusion
C.further an argument D.provide new evidence
55.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.To Shape Your Life with Good Deeds. B.Defining the Shape of a Good Life.
C.The Essential Components of Good Life. D.How We Can Have a Good Shape of Life.
【答案】51.A 52.B 53.D 54.C 55.B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了何为“美好生活”,指出美好生活不仅关乎经历的内容,还关乎经历的顺序(即生活的“形态”)。
【详解】51.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Even Aristotle, who believed that the key to happiness is the cultivation (培养) and exercise of virtue, still thought certain goods were either necessary conditions for happiness or were goods that came to virtuous people.(即使是亚里士多德,他也认为幸福的关键在于美德的培养和锻炼,但他仍然认为某些物品要么是幸福的必要条件,要么是美德之人所能获得的物品)”可知,亚里士多德认为某些物品对幸福是必要的,或者美德之人会获得这些物品,即物品有助于幸福。故选A。
52.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Toby struggles to get work for many years, suffering all sorts of difficulties. He becomes a famous and wealthy actor, and wins an Oscar for his final movie before retiring. Ybot, however, wins an Oscar for his very first film role.(托比多年来一直在努力找工作,经历了各种各样的困难。他成为了一名著名而富有的演员,并在退休前的最后一部电影中获得了奥斯卡奖。然而,伊博特凭借他的第一部电影角色赢得了奥斯卡奖)”以及第三段“These two actors’ lives, like their names, are mirror-images. Toby and Ybot both seem to lead lives of equal net worth.(这两位演员的人生,就像他们的名字一样,是互为镜像的存在。托比和伊博特的人生净值似乎不相上下)”可知,两人都获得了奥斯卡奖,达到了职业生涯的顶峰,即他们在事业上达到了相同的高度。故选B。
53.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Someone who climbs a mountain will experience more struggle than someone who gets carried to the peak by bus, but the climber will also have a sense of accomplishment the other person may well envy. In that sense, we might think Toby’s life is better because his highs seem more well-earned than Ybot’s do.(爬山的人比坐公交车到山顶的人会经历更多的挣扎,但爬山的人也会有一种成就感,这是另一个人可能会羡慕的。从这个意义上说,我们可能会认为托比的生活更好,因为他的高峰似乎比伊博特的更值得)”可知,作者通过爬山的例子试图传达的是:辛苦得来的成功更受珍视。故选D。
54.推理判断题。根据第四段中“But that’s not the whole story. The narrative (叙述) itself seems to make a difference.(但这并不是全部。叙述本身似乎也有影响)”以及“Where the story ends seems to matter in itself.(故事的结局本身很重要)”并结合后文对生活叙述顺序的讨论可知,作者在写第四段是试图进一步论证前文提出的“生活形态”假说,即生活的叙述顺序也很重要。故选C。
55.主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后一段中“This immediate judgment finds expression in what’s been called the “shape of life” hypothesis (假说). On this view, living a good life is not simply about having the right kind of experiences or life-events, but of having them in the right order.(这种直接的判断体现在所谓的“生活形态”假说中。从这个观点来看,过上美好的生活不仅仅是拥有正确的经历或生活事件,而是以正确的顺序拥有它们)”可知,文章主要讨论了何为“美好生活”的形态,即美好生活不仅关乎经历的内容,还关乎经历的顺序。因此,B选项“Defining the Shape of a Good Life(定义美好生活的形态)”最符合文章主旨,适合作为标题。故选B。

(2023·天津·高考真题)Growing up in San Francisco, Grace Young used to watch her father shop daily in Chinatown for whatever he needed to make traditional Chinese meals at home. As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms. Young, now 66, has spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown.
Ms. Young developed a passion for cooking at an early age. At 13, she started to sit in on cooking classes. After college, Ms. Young moved to New York and worked in a book-packaging company. In her 30s, she realized that while she had helped create more than 40 cookbooks, she didn’t know how to make the dishes that tasted of home. “I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I could give my family and the next generation.” she says.
Yet what began as a recipe book became a kind of memoir. Talking about food encouraged her parents to finally open up about their past, like the fact that her father had owned a Chinatown restaurant in the 1940s. “It was really an amazing way to learn not only my family’s recipes, but also my family’s story. “she says. The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen (1999) launched Ms. Young’s work in preserving and sustaining Chinese culinary (烹饪的)traditions.
Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This year, instead of cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with various dishes from local restaurants in Chinatown. “If these restaurants don’t survive, Chinese culinary traditions in our city won’t survive.” she says.

Big Changes in Small Trends
In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in travel preferences. As the chart shows, the percentage of people visiting Internet-famous destinations has dropped from 75% in 2020 to 45% in 2025. Meanwhile, the figure for lesser-known places has risen from 25% to 55%.
This change suggests that more travelers now hope to explore unique locations and enjoy quieter trips instead of joining the crowds. Some want a more authentic cultural experience, and social platforms have helped introduce lesser-known destinations to the public.
By paying attention to these changes in our daily lives, we can broaden our horizons and discover the hidden beauty around us.
