专题03 阅读理解（记叙文+议论文） Passage 1 （2026·北京·学业水平合格考）When the final bell rang, children ran to the school bus. “I’m going to melt (融化). Another long, hot summer. I will be locked indoors,” Peter said. “So boring,” complained Jane, “I want to do something cool!” The school bus stopped at the neighbourhood where Jane and Peter lived. There a dog stood panting (气喘吁吁) in the hot sun. Jane decided to give it some water. As soon as she placed a bowl of water before the dog, two birds appeared out of nowhere. A thirsty cat ran across the street and stopped near the bowl. These thirsty animals began to fight for water. That gave Jane an idea. “I have a cool plan for this vacation. How about setting up water stations for animals and birds?” Jane cried out. “And we must ensure the animals and birds can satisfy their thirst without harming each other,” Peter added. Next morning, Jane and Peter went out and placed bowls outside for the animals. Jane also put a large one on a raised platform in the children’s park for the birds. Separate water stations kept animals and birds from fighting! To spread the word about their plan, Jane and Peter handed out dozens of food containers to their neighbours who could set up water stations outside their homes. They were happy to find their neighbours equally eager to help with the plan. The children then requested their parents to post what they did on the Internet. This inspired more people to join them. All summer, Jane and Peter were glued to their windows watching birds drink from the large bowl. They wrote down what they saw in their diaries, discovering the joy of helping other creatures survive the boiling hot summer! 1.What inspired Jane to set up the water stations? A.

Most guests, I’ve found, will feel great if there are small things they can do in return for my warm reception. So, when my friends Mary and Tom visited my new home one afternoon and asked if I needed anything, I pointed directly to the box of a new lock sitting on my table. “Well, since you asked,” I replied, “this new lock needs to be fixed on the door.” Tom offered to do the work. As he was unpacking the box, he suggested keeping it. “That way, if you change your mind, you can pack everything back in the box and return the lock,” he added. This made me slightly nervous. I didn’t want him to reconsider his offer. While Tom worked, his wife Mary and I drank coffee and had some cookies together. Mary shared with me that she was a bit worried about the lock task. “Tom likes to take things slow. Sometimes, I just need to give him a little push,” she said. Just at that moment, Tom said he hit a dead end. He could not remove the last few small metal pieces from the new lock. Unhurriedly, he sat down, rested his head against the back of the seat, and closed his eyes. It seemed that he was trying to work out a solution — at his own pace (节奏), of course. For the next half-hour, Tom remained glued to his seat. When I was about to ask him to call it quits and have a cup of coffee instead, Mary stood up and tapped her husband on the shoulder. “I don’t mean to rush you, but we aren’t staying here forever,” said Mary. Hearing this, Tom took out his phone and turned to what he called his favorite teacher: the Internet. After searching for a short while, he found a video that showed how. He then walked back to the door and soon announced, “All done!” What a relief! 1.The new lock was intended as___________.

Kahlo suffered from ill health as a child after catching polio (小儿麻痹症) at age of 6, which made her right leg shorter and thinner than the left. Before her painting career, she aimed for a career in natural sciences, but her dreams were ruined by a serious accident, which caused her pain and illness for the rest of her life. She was paralyzed for three months, alone and lonely. Armed with a few brushes, a range of oil paints and special easel (画架) that allowed her to paint while still in bed, she created some beautiful pieces. Her artwork is sought after by fans and art collectors for high prices, the highest being eight million. Kahlo married Diego Rivera, a famous Mexican artist. They once divorced in 1939, but remarried in 1940. Frida Kahlo once said,” I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” This perfectly describes her painting style, one drawn from her personal pain and tragedies. She is a self-taught artist known for her self-portraits. Mexican culture and tradition was something very important to her, evident in many of her paintings. Aside from her strong sense of Mexican pride, various references to religion were also included. Frida Kahlo’s self-portrait, Girl with Necklace, has resurfaced after 60 years of it being hidden from the public eye. This discovery of Kahlo’s painting is significant, as only ten perfect of her work is available in America due to complex and strict export laws in Mexico. Her works are declared as “artistic monuments” by the Mexican president and any works painted in Mexico must remain in Mexico. These strict laws have produced many fakes of Kahlo’s work. Frida Kahlo’s legacy lives on till this day, for being not only a well-known female artist of color, but also a breaker of cultural and societal barriers. 1.What is Kahlo’s dream of a career? A. A painter. B. A collector. C. A breaker of societal barriers. D. A career in natural sciences. 2.What caused Kahlo to begin painting? A. Her love for painting. B. Her love of natural scenery. C. Her pain and loneliness in bed. D. Her desire to make money. 3.What style are Kahlo’s paintings? A. Realistic. B. Romantic. C. Abstract. D. Impressionistic. 4.Why is the discovery of Girl with Necklace important? A. There are a lot of fakes. B. It is the only portrait of Kahlo. C. Kahlo’s paintings are rare in America. D. It is regarded as the “artistic monument”. 5.Which of the following best describes Kahlo? A. Talented but unlucky. B. Brave but self-centered. C. Optimistic and conservative. D. Ambitious and sensitive. Passage 4 （2025·辽宁·学业水平合格考）Since the beginning of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, many exciting and unforgettable moments have been shared by athletes and audiences worldwide. But beyond the victories and defeats, there is something more to admire: the positive and energetic manner of China’s young athletes, coupled with their amazing record-breaking achievements. On Aug 4, 21-year-old Zheng Qinwen made history for Chinese tennis by winning the first gold medal in women’s singles for both China and Asia. Just the following day, the young Chinese swimming team ended the US’s decadeslong unbeaten history in the men’s relay. Equally inspiring is the positive mindset exhibited by these young athletes. They are confident and inclusive (包容的), both in competition and cross-cultural interactions, trying hard to achieve excellence and breakthrough performances. Moreover, they have moved away from the “gold medal only” mindset, embracing (拥抱) a calmer and more sensible approach to sports, which reflects a significant change in their view. There are countless examples. From 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen to 26-year-old swimmer Zhang Yufei, many young athletes have captivated global audiences and held the world’s attention with their self-assured approach to competition. They enjoy competing from the bottom of their heart. When Zhang, China’s “butterfly queen”, missed out on a gold medal, she said, “I hope this time I can have a relaxed attitude and really enjoy the Olympics.” This change in mindset and manner has moved the public focus away from just winning gold medals to appreciating the respect and honor that athletes and the Olympics truly deserve. On the Olympic stage, these young people uphold the proud traditions of Chinese sports while showing a new image of a confident and open China. But what exactly is the Olympic spirit? It’s not just about being faster, higher, stronger, but also about embracing sports with a positive attitude. 1.What can we know about the athletes mentioned in the passage? A. “Butterfly queen” Zhang Yufei won a gold medal in the competition. B. The US swimming team was the champion in the men’s relay. C. 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen really enjoyed competing. D. Zheng Qinwen won the first gold medal for Chinese tennis in women’s doubles. 2.Which words can best describe the Chinese athletes? A. Calm and brave. B. Confident and inclusive. C. Generous and humorous. D. Hard-working and open-minded. 3.What is the meaning of the underlined word “captivate” in Paragraph 4? A. Relax. B. Attract. C. Benefit. D. Encourage. 4.What was the public focus in the past? A. Winning gold medals. B. Valuing respect for athletes. C. Showing a new image of China. D. Enjoying the unforgettable moments. 5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Faster, higher, stronger. B. Record-breaking achievements. C. The Paris 2024 Olympic Games. D.

Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies. No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications. When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself. What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own. 1.What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author? A. Students’ misunderstandings about teachers. B. Students’ false assumptions about learning. C. The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life. D. The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies. 2.Why does the author bring tires into the classroom? A. To teach an engineering skill. B. To explain the structure of a car. C. To share a real-life experience. D. To illustrate a scientific concept. 3.What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method? A. A higher class attendance rate. B. Better examination results. C. A closer teacher-student bond. D. More spare time for students. 4.Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher? A. Innovative. B. Humorous. C. Decisive. D. Sympathetic. Passage 6 （2024·江苏·学业水平合格考）Part of growing up is learning how to work things out for yourself. However. when you’ re feeling sad or lost you don’t have to struggle alone. ______ There are lots of reasons why you could need help, for example, with schoolwork; learning a pew skill; or when you feel sad, anxious or angry. Feeling anxious because you’ re finding something difficult, or because it’s taking a long time to make progress, can alto make you feel like you can’t do it. These are all signs that you need help. When you’ re struggling with something. asking for help will move you forward more quickly than trying on your own. What stops you asking for help Asking for help isn’t always easy.

If you feel sorry that you need help, or if you think asking for a helping hand is a sign of weakness, it makes it harder to turn to another person. Asking for support is brave Letting someone in trusting them with your story and asking them to listen to you and help you come up with ideas of how to deal with a problem takes great courage. When you ask for help, it takes the pressure off trying to work out everything by yourself. There are other benefits too. By asking for help, you practise saying what you need.

Passage 7 （2025·北京·学业水平合格考）Fruit For All One day in 2020, a high school student named Zach Selby found out a way to help people who need food. The organisations he learned about take extra fruit from fruit trees and give it to local food banks. Selby decided he could start his own group in his neighbourhood. He called the group Fruit For All(FFA). It is a non- profit group that collects extra fruit from homeowners’ trees and donates it to local food banks. To make FFA successful, Selby needed eager volunteers and trees with fruit. Selby asked community members to call or contact him online and let him know whether they had trees with extra fruit. At first, it was difficult to find people who were willing to contribute the fruit in their trees. But as news of Selby’s idea spread, people contacted him. Soon, FFA was really “growing”! With the help of his brother Jack and other volunteers, Selby has gathered and donated more than 70,000 pounds of fruit to local food banks. The group usually works on the weekends, and the volunteers travel as far as 20 miles from Selby’s house. The volunteers usually gather about 500 pounds of fruit each weekend. But one weekend they collected over 2,000 pounds of fruit! FFA also has a website that explains the group’s goal, which is to inspire people to help. Visitors to the website learn three ways they can take part in. They can allow volunteers to pick fruit from their trees. They can volunteer to pick fruit. And they can start an FFA group in their own area. People who are interested can also use the website to ask Selby and Jack questions and post comments. More volunteers are joining in.

Passage 8 （2024·北京·学业水平合格考）Best friends Tommy, 17, and Daniel, 15, decided to sign up for their school’s robotics team in their freshman year, and began their journey towards changing lives for the better. They began their work with 3D printers to create parts for their robots, but they wanted their impact to be greater. “It started off with a team idea,” Tommy said. “We were trying to figure out how we could make a difference to society as a first-year robotics team. We later thought of the idea of using 3D printers to make prostheses (假肢), like hands.” The team worked with IMAHelps, a nonprofit organization, and received help from the Science Robotics Initiative. Shortly after, they began working with their first person in need of a prosthesis. “We started off with making an artificial (人造的) arm for Samantha, a 12-year-old little girl in Ecuador who lost her arm in a bus accident,” Tommy explains. “We got her measurements and then made the prosthesis. IMAHelps brought it to Samantha and it fit her perfectly and worked well.” “Samantha had a dream to write, and we wanted to help with that,” adds Daniel. It didn’t take long for other kids to see Samantha’s prosthesis. A young man named Ernest Priester, 13, asked to have an artificial foot. Later, the team offered to make him one for free. “He started tearing up. It brought so much joy to his eyes.” Tommy says. This July, the team traveled to Ecuador to deliver four more prostheses to those in need. “We were so happy to help,” Tommy shares. The team also plans on continuing to give away their 3D creations. “You can do whatever you want to do when it comes to helping people and changing the world,” Tommy says. “There are no age limits.” “By offering a little bit,” adds Daniel. “We can change a lot.” 1.To make the robotics team’s impact greater, Tommy and Daniel decided to________. A. create robot parts B. start a robotics course C. make prostheses D. invent a 3D printer 2.What did the robotics team do for Samantha? A. They set up IMAHelps for her. B. They made her an artificial arm. C. They offered her medical treatment. D. They gave her instructions on writing. 3.How does Tommy feel about what they are doing? A. Curious. B. Relaxed. C. Regretful. D. Pleased. 4.Which of the following words can best describe Tommy and Daniel? A. Caring. B. Calm. C. Honest. D. Brave. Passage 9 （2024年1月·学业水平合格考）When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”. As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived. As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection. For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books! If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me. 1.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to? A. The play. B. The shared house. C. The sofa. D. The telephone box. 2.Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006? A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice. C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition. 3.What do we know about the “mini community library”? A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection. C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month. 4.Why did the author start to use the “library”? A. He wanted to borrow some love stories. B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour. C. He found there were excellent free books. D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading.

So, when my friends Mary and Tom visited my new home one afternoon and asked if I needed anything, I pointed directly to the box of a new lock sitting on my table.(招待客人前，我总会准备几样小活儿，以防他们主动提出要帮忙。我发现，要是能做些小事来回报我的热情招待，大多数客人都会感到很开心。所以，一天下午，当我的朋友玛丽和汤姆来参观我的新家，问我有没有什么需要帮忙的时，我直接指向了桌上那盒新锁。)”和第二段中““Well, since you asked,” I replied, “this new lock needs to be fixed on the door.”(“好吧，既然你们问了，”我答道，“这把新锁得装到门上。” )”可知，新锁是打算作为给客人的一个小任务。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Well, since you asked,” I replied, “this new lock needs to be fixed on the door.” Tom offered to do the work. As he was unpacking the box, he suggested keeping it. “That way, if you change your mind, you can pack everything back in the box and return the lock,” he added. This made me slightly nervous. I didn’t want him to reconsider his offer.(“好吧，既然你们问了，”我答道，“这把新锁得装到门上。”汤姆立刻主动揽下了这个活儿。他拆开盒子时，提议把盒子留着。“这样的话，要是你改主意了，还能把所有零件装回盒子里，把锁退掉。”他补充道。这话让我心里有点发慌，我可不想让他反悔。)”可知，汤姆关于保留盒子的建议让作者有点紧张。故选C。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Just at that moment, Tom said he hit a dead end. He could not remove the last few small metal pieces from the new lock.(就在那一刻，汤姆说he hit a dead end。他无法从新锁上取下最后几块小金属片。)”可知，汤姆在工作中遇到了困难，他无法从新锁上取下最后几块小金属片，he hit a dead end意思是“他被卡住了”。故选D。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Hearing this, Tom took out his phone and turned to what he called his favorite teacher: the Internet. After searching for a short while, he found a video that showed how. He then walked back to the door and soon announced, “All done!” What a relief!(听到这话，汤姆掏出手机，向他口中“最爱的老师”求助 —— 也就是互联网。搜索了一会儿后，他找到了一个演示安装方法的视频。随后，他走回门边，没过多久就大声宣布：“搞定啦！”我心里的石头总算落了地！)”可知，汤姆最后是通过观看网上的视频完成工作的。故选B。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“When expecting guests, I like to have a few small tasks ready, just in case they offer to help. Most guests, I’ve found, will feel great if there are small things they can do in return for my warm reception. So, when my friends Mary and Tom visited my new home one afternoon and asked if I needed anything, I pointed directly to the box of a new lock sitting on my table.(招待客人前，我总会准备几样小活儿，以防他们主动提出要帮忙。我发现，要是能做些小事来回报我的热情招待，大多数客人都会感到很开心。所以，一天下午，当我的朋友玛丽和汤姆来参观我的新家，问我有没有什么需要帮忙的时，我直接指向了桌上那盒新锁。)”和第二段中““Well, since you asked,” I replied, “this new lock needs to be fixed on the door.”(“好吧，既然你们问了，”我答道，“这把新锁得装到门上。” )”可知，文章主要讲述了作者的朋友玛丽和汤姆来访时，作者给他们安排了一个小任务——安装新锁，过程中发生了一些有趣的事情，最后汤姆通过观看网上的视频完成了任务。所以这个故事的主要目的是讲述一个从客人那里得到帮助的有趣故事。故选C。 Passage 3 （2025·辽宁·学业水平合格考）Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907, in Mexico City. Kahlo suffered from ill health as a child after catching polio (小儿麻痹症) at age of 6, which made her right leg shorter and thinner than the left. Before her painting career, she aimed for a career in natural sciences, but her dreams were ruined by a serious accident, which caused her pain and illness for the rest of her life. She was paralyzed for three months, alone and lonely. Armed with a few brushes, a range of oil paints and special easel (画架) that allowed her to paint while still in bed, she created some beautiful pieces. Her artwork is sought after by fans and art collectors for high prices, the highest being eight million. Kahlo married Diego Rivera, a famous Mexican artist. They once divorced in 1939, but remarried in 1940. Frida Kahlo once said,” I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” This perfectly describes her painting style, one drawn from her personal pain and tragedies. She is a self-taught artist known for her self-portraits. Mexican culture and tradition was something very important to her, evident in many of her paintings. Aside from her strong sense of Mexican pride, various references to religion were also included. Frida Kahlo’s self-portrait, Girl with Necklace, has resurfaced after 60 years of it being hidden from the public eye. This discovery of Kahlo’s painting is significant, as only ten perfect of her work is available in America due to complex and strict export laws in Mexico. Her works are declared as “artistic monuments” by the Mexican president and any works painted in Mexico must remain in Mexico. These strict laws have produced many fakes of Kahlo’s work. Frida Kahlo’s legacy lives on till this day, for being not only a well-known female artist of color, but also a breaker of cultural and societal barriers. 1.What is Kahlo’s dream of a career? A. A painter. B. A collector. C. A breaker of societal barriers. D. A career in natural sciences. 2.What caused Kahlo to begin painting? A. Her love for painting. B. Her love of natural scenery. C. Her pain and loneliness in bed. D. Her desire to make money. 3.What style are Kahlo’s paintings? A. Realistic. B. Romantic. C. Abstract. D. Impressionistic. 4.Why is the discovery of Girl with Necklace important? A. There are a lot of fakes. B. It is the only portrait of Kahlo. C. Kahlo’s paintings are rare in America. D. It is regarded as the “artistic monument”. 5.Which of the following best describes Kahlo? A. Talented but unlucky. B. Brave but self-centered. C. Optimistic and conservative. D. Ambitious and sensitive. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. A　4. C　5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了墨西哥最受欢迎的现代女画家Frida Kahlo。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Before her painting career, she aimed for a career in natural sciences(在她的绘画生涯之前，她打算从事自然科学事业)”可知，Kahlo梦想的职业是自然科学，故选D。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“She was paralyzed for three months, alone and lonely.(她瘫痪了三个月，孤独寂寞)”和第三段“Armed with a few brushes, a range of oil paints and special easel (画架) that allowed her to paint while still in bed, she created some beautiful pieces.(她用几把刷子、一系列油画颜料和画架让她可以在床上画画，创作了一些美丽的作品)”可知， Kahlo瘫痪在病床上用绘画来转移注意力。由此推知，她躺在床上的痛苦和孤独使她开始画画的，故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Frida Kahlo once said,” I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” This perfectly describes her painting style, one drawn from her personal pain and tragedies.( Frida Kahlo曾经说过：“我从来不画梦想。我画的是我自己的现实。”这也完美地描述了她的绘画风格)”可知，Kahlo的绘画属于现实主义流派，故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Frida Kahlo’s self-portrait, Girl with Necklace, has resurfaced after 60 years of it being hidden from the public eye. This discovery of Kahlo’s painting is significant, as only ten perfect of her work is available in America ( Frida Kahlo的自画像《戴项链的女孩》在公众视线之外隐藏了60年后重新出现。这幅画作的发现意义重大，因为她在美国只有十幅完美的作品)”可知，Kahlo的绘画作品在美国留存的数量很少，因此Girl with Necklace的发现非常重要，故选C。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Before her painting career, she aimed for a career in natural sciences, but her dreams were ruined by a serious accident, which caused her pain and illness for the rest of her life.(在她的绘画生涯之前，她打算从事自然科学事业。但她的梦想被一场严重的师傅摧毁了，这给她带来了余生的痛苦和疾病)”可知，Kahlo一生深受病痛的折磨，因此是不幸的；根据文章第四段“She is a self-taught artist known for her self-portraits.(她是一个自学成才的艺术家，以自画像而闻名)”可知，她是一个自学成才的艺术家，因此她是有天赋的。由此推知，她是一个有天赋却不幸的人，故选A。 Passage 4 （2025·辽宁·学业水平合格考）Since the beginning of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, many exciting and unforgettable moments have been shared by athletes and audiences worldwide. But beyond the victories and defeats, there is something more to admire: the positive and energetic manner of China’s young athletes, coupled with their amazing record-breaking achievements. On Aug 4, 21-year-old Zheng Qinwen made history for Chinese tennis by winning the first gold medal in women’s singles for both China and Asia. Just the following day, the young Chinese swimming team ended the US’s decadeslong unbeaten history in the men’s relay. Equally inspiring is the positive mindset exhibited by these young athletes. They are confident and inclusive (包容的), both in competition and cross-cultural interactions, trying hard to achieve excellence and breakthrough performances. Moreover, they have moved away from the “gold medal only” mindset, embracing (拥抱) a calmer and more sensible approach to sports, which reflects a significant change in their view. There are countless examples. From 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen to 26-year-old swimmer Zhang Yufei, many young athletes have captivated global audiences and held the world’s attention with their self-assured approach to competition. They enjoy competing from the bottom of their heart. When Zhang, China’s “butterfly queen”, missed out on a gold medal, she said, “I hope this time I can have a relaxed attitude and really enjoy the Olympics.” This change in mindset and manner has moved the public focus away from just winning gold medals to appreciating the respect and honor that athletes and the Olympics truly deserve. On the Olympic stage, these young people uphold the proud traditions of Chinese sports while showing a new image of a confident and open China. But what exactly is the Olympic spirit? It’s not just about being faster, higher, stronger, but also about embracing sports with a positive attitude. 1.What can we know about the athletes mentioned in the passage?

Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies. No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications. When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself. What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own. 1.What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author? A. Students’ misunderstandings about teachers. B. Students’ false assumptions about learning. C. The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life. D. The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies. 2.Why does the author bring tires into the classroom? A. To teach an engineering skill. B. To explain the structure of a car. C. To share a real-life experience. D. To illustrate a scientific concept. 3.What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method? A. A higher class attendance rate. B. Better examination results. C. A closer teacher-student bond. D. More spare time for students. 4.Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher? A. Innovative. B. Humorous. C. Decisive. D. Sympathetic. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位教师为打破学生对学习的错误认知，将自己的爱好融入课堂教学的经历，介绍了该教学方式的具体实践、初衷，以及意外收获的师生关系升温的效果，最终这一做法成为其教学理念，不仅让课堂更生动，还能启发学生找到自身的兴趣热情。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests (作为一名教师，工作的很大一部分是纠正学生的错误认知。学生们走进教室时，往往认为学习毫无乐趣，所学的知识与现实世界无关，更不用说和他们的个人兴趣相关了)”可知，教师面临的一大挑战是学生对于学习的错误设想，认为学习无趣且和现实、自身兴趣无关。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications (我是一名汽车爱好者，所以教物理时，我会用汽车相关知识为物理概念创设情境。比如讲到摩擦力时，我会把不同的轮胎带到教室，让学生用它们做实验，看看摩擦力在现实生活中是如何起作用的)”可知，作者将轮胎带到教室，是为了借助实物实验，让学生理解摩擦力这一科学概念在现实中的应用，也就是阐释科学概念。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them (起初我把爱好带进课堂时，一心想着这样做能提高学生的课堂参与度，帮助他们理解科学概念，但我很快发现，这种做法还帮助我和学生建立了更紧密的关系)”可知，作者将爱好融入课堂的初衷是提升参与度、帮助学生理解概念，而意外的结果是师生之间的联系变得更加紧密。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据作者打破传统教学模式，主动将自己的汽车爱好融入物理课堂，通过第二段“If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications (例如，如果我们要讨论摩擦，我会把不同的轮胎带到教室里，这样我的学生就可以用它们进行实验室实验，看看摩擦在现实生活中是如何工作的)”和最后一段“What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy.Even when I'm planning classes，I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies.I find that doing so energizes my instruction，engages my students，and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world.Best of all，my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own.(最初的尝试如今已演变成一种教学理念。即使在备课的时候，我也会思考如何把爱好融入教学。我发现这样做能让我的课堂更有活力，吸引学生的注意力，并向他们展示抽象概念在现实世界中的具体体现。最重要的是，我对爱好的热情似乎能激励他们满怀热情地去寻找属于自己的兴趣所在)”可知，作者作为教师，敢于创新教学方式，打破学生对学习的固有认知，是富有创新精神的。故选A。 Passage 6 （2024·江苏·学业水平合格考）Part of growing up is learning how to work things out for yourself.

There are other benefits too. By asking for help, you practise saying what you need. It also shows you how someone else might feel when they’re struggling, which means you could be more able to offer a helping hand when someone needs it.(当你寻求帮助时，这能减轻你试图独自解决所有问题的压力。这还有其他好处。通过寻求帮助，你可以锻炼说出自己的需求。这也能让你体会到别人在努力挣扎时的感受，这意味着当有人需要帮助时，你更有能力伸出援手)”可知，寻求帮助的好处有：减轻独自解决所有问题的压力；练习说出自己的需求；能理解他人在困境中的感受，从而在他人需要时更能伸出援手。因此，最后一段提到了三个寻求帮助的好处。故选B。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第一段的“Part of growing up is learning how to work things out for yourself. However. when you’ re feeling sad or lost you don’t have to struggle alone.(成长的一部分就是学会如何自己解决问题。然而，当你感到悲伤或迷茫时，你不必独自苦苦挣扎)”可知，文章主要讲述了寻求帮助的重要性和好处，包括减轻压力、练习表达需求、了解他人感受以及更有可能在别人需要时提供帮助。因此，D选项“It is good to ask for help.(寻求帮助是有益的)”最符合文章主旨。故选D。 Passage 7 （2025·北京·学业水平合格考）Fruit For All One day in 2020, a high school student named Zach Selby found out a way to help people who need food. The organisations he learned about take extra fruit from fruit trees and give it to local food banks. Selby decided he could start his own group in his neighbourhood. He called the group Fruit For All(FFA). It is a non- profit group that collects extra fruit from homeowners’ trees and donates it to local food banks. To make FFA successful, Selby needed eager volunteers and trees with fruit. Selby asked community members to call or contact him online and let him know whether they had trees with extra fruit. At first, it was difficult to find people who were willing to contribute the fruit in their trees. But as news of Selby’s idea spread, people contacted him. Soon, FFA was really “growing”! With the help of his brother Jack and other volunteers, Selby has gathered and donated more than 70,000 pounds of fruit to local food banks. The group usually works on the weekends, and the volunteers travel as far as 20 miles from Selby’s house. The volunteers usually gather about 500 pounds of fruit each weekend. But one weekend they collected over 2,000 pounds of fruit! FFA also has a website that explains the group’s goal, which is to inspire people to help. Visitors to the website learn three ways they can take part in. They can allow volunteers to pick fruit from their trees. They can volunteer to pick fruit. And they can start an FFA group in their own area. People who are interested can also use the website to ask Selby and Jack questions and post comments. More volunteers are joining in. Although the contributions might be small, they can make a big difference. With the help from groups like FFA, more people are able to enjoy delicious fruit. 1.What does FFA do? A. It offers fruit classes. B. It grows and sells fruit. C. It builds a food factory. D. It collects and donates fruit. 2.What did Selby need to make FFA successful at the start? A. Food markets. B.

They began their work with 3D printers to create parts for their robots, but they wanted their impact to be greater. “It started off with a team idea,” Tommy said. “We were trying to figure out how we could make a difference to society as a first-year robotics team. We later thought of the idea of using 3D printers to make prostheses (假肢), like hands.” The team worked with IMAHelps, a nonprofit organization, and received help from the Science Robotics Initiative. Shortly after, they began working with their first person in need of a prosthesis. “We started off with making an artificial (人造的) arm for Samantha, a 12-year-old little girl in Ecuador who lost her arm in a bus accident,” Tommy explains. “We got her measurements and then made the prosthesis. IMAHelps brought it to Samantha and it fit her perfectly and worked well.” “Samantha had a dream to write, and we wanted to help with that,” adds Daniel. It didn’t take long for other kids to see Samantha’s prosthesis. A young man named Ernest Priester, 13, asked to have an artificial foot. Later, the team offered to make him one for free. “He started tearing up. It brought so much joy to his eyes.” Tommy says.

I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”. As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived. As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection. For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books! If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me. 1.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to? A. The play. B. The shared house. C. The sofa. D. The telephone box. 2.Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006? A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice. C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition. 3.What do we know about the “mini community library”? A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection. C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month. 4.Why did the author start to use the “library”? A. He wanted to borrow some love stories. B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour. C. He found there were excellent free books. D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。随着手机的普及，电话亭渐渐地被人们遗忘，作者家附近的最后一个电话亭被改造成了“迷你图书馆”，作者偶然发现那里有很多不错的免费书籍，这让作者觉得很棒。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段第五句“I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London.(我当时在伦敦我那狭小的合租房子里为我的剧本进行试演。)”可知，此处是指使“我”的合租房看起来更“年轻专业”一点，所以it代指“合租房”。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.(所以，我打电话给电话查号台，接通了女房东的经纪人，他们给了我一把备用钥匙，刚好来得及在演员们到来之前回去。)”可知，作者在2006年使用电话亭是为了拨打紧急电话。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.(最后一个被改造成了一个“迷你社区图书馆”：任何路过的人都可以从它的书架上“借”书，以后还回来，或者用自己收藏的另一本书来替换。)”可知，任何人都可以为“迷你社区图书馆”的捐赠图书。故选B。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段最后四句“Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!(然后我注意到福克正在进行春季大扫除，把各种主题的大书一箱箱地扔到那里。而且这些书是免费的。这个无与伦比的价格点鼓励我尝试许多我通常不会考虑购买的标题。我还发现了一些很棒的书！)”可知，作者发现“迷你图书馆”里有很多免费的很棒的书，所以开始使用。故选C。 Passage 10 （2025·广东·学业水平合格考）I worked as a journalist and I was lucky to have an interview with Ezra Pryme, the famous English eccentric (怪人). I say “lucky”, because Ezra Pryme doesn’t have much time for humans and he almost has no visitors. He is very rich and he has a very big country house with a large garden. He has got a large family, but he never sees any of his children or his grandchildren. “I haven’t got any time for them,” he says. He has the largest collection of Art Deco objects in the world, but he is the only one who ever sees them. I knocked at the door of the house at exactly 3 p.m. Ezra’s servant opened the door for me. I was led through a large hall where all sorts of paintings are on the walls and then into a library. I waited for a while and at last a very short man appeared. As soon as he saw me, he held out his hand. Not expecting this, I hesitated for a moment. “You can shake hands,” he said. “I don’t have any diseases!” “Mind the steps!” he cried, leading me down some steps. “I don’t say that to all my visitors, you know!” 1.The underlined word “hesitated” probably means?

C　3. D　4. B　5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为记者采访被称为怪人的著名英国人埃兹拉·普赖姆的经过。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“As soon as he saw me, he held out his hand. Not expecting this, I hesitated for a moment. (他一看到我，就伸出了手。没想到会这样，我_____了一会儿)”可知，作者没想到埃兹拉·普赖姆会伸出手来握手，所以会犹豫，不确定要不要握手。由此可推断出“hesitated”意思是“犹豫，不确定”，与C项“showed uncertainty”意思相近。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“I say “lucky”, because Ezra Pryme doesn’t have much time for humans and he almost has no visitors.(我说“幸运”，是因为埃兹拉·普赖姆不愿与人打交道，几乎从不接待访客)”可知，记者将此次采访称为“幸运”恰恰说明普赖姆通常拒绝接受采访，但文中并未明确交代此次破例接受采访的具体原因。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I say “lucky”, because Ezra Pryme doesn’t have much time for humans and he almost has no visitors. He is very rich and he has a very big country house with a large garden. He has got a large family, but he never sees any of his children or his grandchildren.(我说“幸运”，是因为埃兹拉·普赖姆不愿与人打交道，几乎从不接待访客。他非常富有，有一座很大的乡间别墅，还有一个大花园。他有一个大家庭，但他从不见他的任何孩子或孙子孙女)”可知，埃兹拉·普赖姆被称为怪人是因为他从不看望他的孩子，没有时间与人相处，很少有访客，不包括D项“他决定见这位记者”。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I say “lucky”, because Ezra Pryme doesn’t have much time for humans and he almost has no visitors.(我说“幸运”，是因为埃兹拉·普赖姆不愿与人打交道，几乎从不接待访客)”可推知，埃兹拉·普赖姆远离其他人。故选B项。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He has the largest collection of Art Deco objects in the world, but he is the only one who ever sees them.(他收藏了世界上最多的装饰艺术派物品，但他是唯一一个见过它们的人)”可推知，C项“除了他，没有人见过他的收藏”最能反映埃兹拉·普赖姆孤僻成性、拒绝分享的怪异特质性格。故选C项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
