【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者如何接受自己的内向性格并利用它帮助他人。文章通过作者的亲身经历，展现了从对内向性格的误解到接受，并最终利用这一特点创办在线事业帮助他人的过程。
【详解】1．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Growing up, I realized I wasn’t as talkative as others within large groups of people. Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident. (在成长的过程中，我意识到自己在大群体中并不像其他人那样健谈。派对对我来说是一种复杂的体验——我真的很想成为其中的一员，但通常整晚都在盼着它快点结束。我看到其他人能够吸引所有人的注意，这让我感到不那么自信)”可知，本段主要关于作者的性格。故选B。
2．推理判断题。由文章第四段“I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative. (我认为内向的人很奇怪，他们甚至不喜欢与人交往。那绝对不是我。我一直都很喜欢与人接触，我觉得他们很有趣。当我和最亲密的朋友在一起时，我很健谈)”可知，作者对内向的人有误解。故选D。
3．推理判断题。由文章第七段中“Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders. (听到这两句简单的话，我感觉三十多年的羞愧感从肩上卸了下来)”可知，同事的话让作者开始积极地看待自己。故选A。
4．细节理解题。由文章最后一段“Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success. (最终，我创办了一个名为“Career Off Script”的在线业务，专注于帮助那些感到迷茫和不快乐的年轻专业人士。我与他们一对一地合作，发掘他们独特的超能力、优势。这样，他们也能欣赏自己的独特性，并找到自己的成功之路)”可知，作者主要通过经营“Career Off Script”帮助人们发现自己的优势。故选C。
七．七选五
【答案】1．F 2．C 3．B 4．E 5．G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了合租的注意事项，要尊重他人的空间、不要不问自取、好好沟通。
【详解】1．根据上文“Finding a balance of living with each other, being sociable, and respecting privacy can make a new household even better.(找到彼此生活、社交和尊重隐私的平衡可以让新家变得更好)”可知，如果有了新家，应该找到生活、社交和尊重隐私的平衡，F项“如果你有了新家，以下建议很有用”承接上文，引出下文各段落的内容，符合题意。故选F。
2．根据上文“Respect others’ space(尊重他人的空间)”以及下文“Respect their boundaries by giving them their breathing space when they are in their room, or trying to study. (尊重他们的界限，当他们在房间里或试图学习时，给他们喘息的空间)”可知，要尊重其他人的空间，尊重他们的界限，C项“每个人都有自己的隐私”说明尊重他人空间的原因，承上启下，符合题意。故选C。
3．根据下文“Don’t eat anything that you have not bought yourself. Decide on whether you share common household goods like milk, shampoo, and toilet paper. If you haven’t agreed to share, do not touch. (不要吃你自己没有买的东西。决定是否共享牛奶、洗发水和卫生纸等常见家居用品。如果你们还没有同意共享，就不要碰)”可知，如果还没有同意分享物品，就不要随便动别人的东西，B项“不要不问自取”概括本段内容，可以作为段落标题句。故选B。
4．根据上文“Communicate Well(好好沟通)”可知，要与室友好好沟通，以及下文“and stick to it.(并且坚持它)”说明要坚持和室友沟通之后达成的协议，E项中agreement是关键词，E项“尽早达成协议很重要”承上启下，符合题意。故选E。
5．根据上文“Sharing houses comes with a lot of benefits. You can share great memories, the stories of your day, maybe share a monthly housemate dinner or share the load of cleaning.(共享房屋有很多好处。你可以分享美好的回忆，你一天的故事，也许可以每月与室友共进晚餐，或者分担清洁工作)”可知，共享房屋是有很多好处的，G项“当所有室友都能为彼此着想时，共享生活是最好的”进一步说明共享生活很好，符合题意。故选G。
(1)
【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Detrinidad的创业经历和专家研究，说明室内植物对人们心理健康和工作效率的积极影响，以及近年来居家趋势推动了室内植物产业的发展。
【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. (当Sonja Detrinidad开设她的网店售卖室内植物时，她并没有抱太大的期望。但结果却恰恰相反：订单如潮水般涌来，仅在2020年6月就寄出了1200份订单)”可知，Sonja Detrinidad刚开始开网店卖室内植物时，并没有抱太大希望，但实际情况是订单很多，生意出奇地好。故选D。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”(Knuth表示：“身处植物周围的学生，其学业表现比在没有植物的教室里的学生更出色。这种效率提升同样适用于成年人的工作场合。我们的研究显示，在植物丰富的工作环境中，人们的病假率降低了 30%。”)”可知，Knuth的研究发现，接触植物的学生学业表现更好，成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中生产率提高，病假率降低，因此，“植物能提升生产率”是她的发现之一。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. (Detrinidad说：“医生需要不断实践医术，律师需要持续精进法律实务，而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。照料植物是一种培养耐心和学习的过程。要用心呵护它，但如果它枯萎了，就再养一株新的。”)”可知，Detrinidad通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的，重要的是持续努力。由此推断，她提到医生和律师是为了解释“重复努力的重要性”。故选C。
4．主旨大意题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起，第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低皮质醇水平改善心情、提升生产率，第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文核心围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B“Plants Boost Your Mood (植物改善你的情绪)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
(2)
【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．A
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。
【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点戒备的姿态，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。
3．主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他进入睡眠状态，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。

6、 阅读理解
（25-26高一上·四川广安·期末）Growing up, I realized I wasn’t as talkative as others within large groups of people. Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident.
They say confidence comes with time. But eight years into my HR (human resources) career (职业), I still found myself staying out of the limelight (公众注意的中心).
And then a colleague asked me if I was an introvert (内向的人). “No...?” I replied.
I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative.
Then he explained to me that introverts don’t know what to do when they’re around other people and need alone time to recharge.
Extroverts are the opposite.
And that was it. Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders.
I learned to accept my introverted nature and focused on what I enjoyed. As I began to connect with people one-on-one, I found it very meaningful. This encouraged me to explore how I could use my introversion to help others.
Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success.

（2025·全国二卷·高考真题）When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
1．How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A．It faced tough competition. B．It suffered a great loss.
C．It got lots of financial support. D．It went surprisingly well.
2．What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A．They appeal more to students. B．They purify the environment.
C．They raise the cortisol level. D．They enhance productivity.
3．What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A．The necessity of social skills. B．The meaning of sustainability.
C．The importance of repeated efforts. D．The value of professional opinions.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Time to Replace Houseplants B．Plants Boost Your Mood
C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants D．Plants Brighten Your Home
【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Detrinidad的创业经历和专家研究，说明室内植物对人们心理健康和工作效率的积极影响，以及近年来居家趋势推动了室内植物产业的发展。
【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. (当Sonja Detrinidad开设她的网店售卖室内植物时，她并没有抱太大的期望。但结果却恰恰相反：订单如潮水般涌来，仅在2020年6月就寄出了1200份订单)”可知，Sonja Detrinidad刚开始开网店卖室内植物时，并没有抱太大希望，但实际情况是订单很多，生意出奇地好。故选D。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”(Knuth表示：“身处植物周围的学生，其学业表现比在没有植物的教室里的学生更出色。这种效率提升同样适用于成年人的工作场合。我们的研究显示，在植物丰富的工作环境中，人们的病假率降低了 30%。”)”可知，Knuth的研究发现，接触植物的学生学业表现更好，成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中生产率提高，病假率降低，因此，“植物能提升生产率”是她的发现之一。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. (Detrinidad说：“医生需要不断实践医术，律师需要持续精进法律实务，而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。照料植物是一种培养耐心和学习的过程。要用心呵护它，但如果它枯萎了，就再养一株新的。”)”可知，Detrinidad通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的，重要的是持续努力。由此推断，她提到医生和律师是为了解释“重复努力的重要性”。故选C。
4．主旨大意题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起，第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低皮质醇水平改善心情、提升生产率，第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文核心围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B“Plants Boost Your Mood (植物改善你的情绪)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选B。

（2024·广东江苏·高考真题）“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
1．What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?
A．He’s odd. B．He’s strict. C．He’s brave. D．He’s rude.
2．Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A．He was trained in it at university. B．He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C．He benefited from it as a patient. D．He wanted to save money for pet owners.
3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B．The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C．Examples of rare animal diseases. D．The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
4．Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A．To prove Farber’s point. B．To emphasize its importance.
C．To praise veterinarians. D．To advocate animal protection.
【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．A
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。
【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点戒备的姿态，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。
3．主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他进入睡眠状态，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。

（25-26高一上·四川广安·期末）Growing up, I realized I wasn’t as talkative as others within large groups of people. Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident.
They say confidence comes with time. But eight years into my HR (human resources) career (职业), I still found myself staying out of the limelight (公众注意的中心).
And then a colleague asked me if I was an introvert (内向的人). “No...?” I replied.
I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative.
Then he explained to me that introverts don’t know what to do when they’re around other people and need alone time to recharge.
Extroverts are the opposite.
And that was it. Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders.
I learned to accept my introverted nature and focused on what I enjoyed. As I began to connect with people one-on-one, I found it very meaningful. This encouraged me to explore how I could use my introversion to help others.
Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success.
