专题06 阅读理解记叙文
Passage 1
（2025 年全国一卷）In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father
who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected
the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these
people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most
of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点)
statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages
on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have
to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice.
This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit
followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁)
and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories,
10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students
demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook
full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s
skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
24. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders.

D. They had little interest in the topic.
26. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mixed.
B. Amazing.
C. Similar.
D. Disturbing.
27. What does the author’s experience show?

Passage 2
（2025 年全国二卷）Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford
(LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what
teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.”
“Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is
free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a
week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing
them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care.
Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re
scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says.
“I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.”
There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to
get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they
express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care
about their schoolwork.”
Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital.
“I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain
management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids
have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.”
4. Who does Ho teach at LPCH?
A. Sick children.
B. Young nurses.
C. Medical students.
D. Patients’ parents.
5. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job?
A. Prioritizing academics.
B. Encouraging innovation.
C. Treating various diseases.
D. Playing multiple roles.
6. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Offering regular lessons.
B. Paying extra attention.
C. Assigning no schoolwork.
D. Showing no sympathy.
7. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good?
A. It eases peer pressure.
B. It helps them live in hope.
C. It frees them from aches.
D. It entertains them with stories.
Passage 3
（2025 年北京卷）Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges
will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success”
form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? The shadow of
this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us.
My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my
school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so
many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the
crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being
academically challenged.
Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per
year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only
chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received
but to the pure joy of learning.
Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see
them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group
interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of
the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the
senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself.
This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling
myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little.
24. Throughout the Junior year, what was the author’s major concern?
A. Pressure from choosing AP classes.
B. Performance in group interviews.
C. Competition with seniors.
D. Recognition by colleges.
25. The author chose fewer AP classes because of _______.
A. her own understanding of success
B. her desire for academic challenges
C. her strong urge to follow the crowd
D. her dream of entering a top university
26. Which would best describe the author’s first group interview?
A Dignifying.
B. Rewarding.
C. Engaging.
D. Relaxing.
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Everyone is the maker of their own success.
B. Success favours those with a golden heart.
C. Success knocks at your door only once.
D. A college holds the key to success.
Passage 4
（2025 年1 月浙江卷）When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on
constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me
years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I
encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But
one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on
snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents,
saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced
that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily
healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of
Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids
themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more
cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When
your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if
you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better
decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if
they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She is upset by her kids’ weight.
B. She is critical of the way she was fed.
C. She is interested in making food.
D. She is particular about what she eats.
25. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of?
A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally.
B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks.
D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
26. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A. Make diet decisions on their own.
B. Share their food with other kids.
C. Eat up what is provided for them.
D. Help their parents do the dishes.
27. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?
A. Costly.
B. Complex.
C. Workable.
D. Contradictory.
Passage 1
（2025·广东深圳·5 月高考适应性考试）Haben Girma was the first deaf-blind person to graduate from
Harvard Law School and is a lawyer. And climbing back to success after nearly being killed in a car accident that
left her with several broken bones and a collapsed lung is Ariana Berlin, a gymnast and dancer. These are just a
couple of the handful of women highlighted in Room 138 for the “Together We Rise” Disability Awareness Exhibit,
which recognizes people with disabilities.
Mainly initiated by senior Avari Brocker, president of the All Minds All Bodies Club, the exhibıt focuses on
developing a space to raise awareness about visible and invisible disabilities. “As a young child who didn’t know I
was disabled and only knew I was struggling, I felt really solitary,” Brocker said. “I felt like I didn’t have a
community.”
Discovering her disability less than two years ago at 16, Brocker was inspired to find ways she could
advocate immediately after being diagnosed with dyslexia(阅读障碍) and ADHD．Since then, she has become
involved in the International Dyslexia Association. “Growing up like that made me realize that spreading awareness
of disabilities was part of my purpose in life, ” she said. “But everybody needs help and needs a village. Nobody
gets anywhere on their own. ”
After the exhibit on Friday, March 14, students stayed in their homerooms to watch a video that provided
insight towards what the most universal invisible disabilities were at school. ADHD, anxiety disorders, and
dyslexia were among the most common according to a study Brocker conducted for her club.
“We wanted to give people a window into what it’s like to be neurodivergent(神经分化),” Brocker said. She
reflected on how it felt emotionally tiring to have her struggles emphasized at school, noting that sometimes her
disability became more apparent in social situations too, but she’s grateful to friends who supported her through the
process, like playing a game all together. Between the exhibit and the video, there’s one thing she hopes for
students to take away. “Disability doesn’t prevent a person’s ability to do things,” she said. “It also isn’t a weakness
to ask for help. ”
4．What does the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Grateful.
B．Cheated.

B．She realized the importance of reading.
C．She helped launch a dyslexia association. D．She funded people with disabilities.
6．What was the video students watched after the exhibit about?
A．Physical disabilities in sports.
B．Common disabilities on campus.
C．Disabled artists’ attainments.
D．Legal rights for disabled students.
7．What message does Brocker hope students will learn?
A．Disability defines one’s identity.
B．Success requires hiding weaknesses.
C．Disability doesn’t mean inability.
D．Academic skills outweigh disability.
Passage 2
（2025·山东省实验中学·二次模拟）In recent “China Travel” fever, more foreign Internet influencers are
visiting China. Among them, American YouTube sensation Darren “IShowSpeed” is under the spotlight with his
ongoing China travel.
The 20-year-old streamer arrived in China on March 24, kicking off a journey that has already received
much global attention. Some experts said the phenomenon indicated a broader trend of digital influencers bridging
cultural gaps, bringing alternative channels for foreign audience to understand a real China.
Known for his high-energy, expressive behavior and a massive following of over 37 million subscribers on
YouTube, IShowSpeed is delivering a glimpse into China’s culture, modernity, and beauty without filter (滤镜) —
offering millions of viewers worldwide, many for the first time, a fresh perspective on the country.

boasting 1,526 horsepower. “This car faster than my Huracan? This car is faster than my Lamborghini? But it’s
electric,” said IShowSpeed, per media report.
In his next stop in Beijing on Tuesday, IShowSpeed has shown equal excitement. Wearing a suit with
China’s Northeast style print, he has visited historical sites like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, showcasing
China’s rich heritage. He was also shocked at how good China’s Wi-Fi connection is when he was on a moving
high-speed train in the tunnel.
The numbers speak to his impact: his Shanghai stream obtained 5.4 million views on YouTube, while his
Beijing broadcast received 3.21 million views within two hours of ending.The tour has sparked a wave of
international interest, said Li Haidong, a professor at China Foreign Affairs University. He added that

Passage 3
（2025·福建福州·名校高三下学期5 月适应性联考）At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my
teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath
catch. I was curious.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically
Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a
nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name.
When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back
in touch with my heritage? I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week,
though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he
once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke ( 笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on
presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a
trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help
me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word
on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip,
the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really
seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself
more fully.
During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much
better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might
as well have said, “This word is you.”
24．What can we learn about the author’s Chinese name?
A．It was given by the author’s teachers.
B．It has a meaningful and elegant meaning.
C．It was decided by fortune - tellers as the author’s parents wished for good luck.
D．The author has always been proud of it.
25．Why did the author decide to learn calligraphy when moving to Hong Kong?
A．To make more friends in Hong Kong.
B．To get back in touch with Chinese heritage.
C．To improve writing skills for exams.
D．To teach calligraphy in the future.
26．The underlined phrase “on - the - nose” in Paragraph 4 probably means?
A．very direct and accurate
B．not relevant at all
C．hard to understand
D．full of mistakes
27．What does the author really seek through learning calligraphy?
A．To become a famous calligrapher.
B．To show off calligraphy skills.
C．A return to herself and a better understanding of herself.
D．To make her Chinese name more beautiful only.

Passage 5
（2025·山东德州·三模）In this fast-paced world, quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen.
For those suffering from the inability to switch off and reconnect with themselves, Deborah Alma, a poet, may have
just what the doctor ordered. She founded the Poetry Pharmacy, which aims to ease worry with words, allowing
visitors to book poetry consultations for personalized advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves.
Deborah has long used poetry as a tool for good. After graduating with a degree in creative writing, she
worked with dementia (失智) patients in a nursing home, reading and composing poems for them. One day, while
doing her routine work, she spotted an old ambulance, which kickstarted an idea — she could bring poetry to more
people in need. Thus, the Emergency Poet was born, witnessing Deborah travelling the country to offer guidance.
In 2019, Deborah transitioned from her mobile practice to a fixed location in Shropshire. Despite the initial
feedback that her idea was unrealistic — investors doubted the business model, potential customers were hesitant to
embrace the unconventional concept of poetry as therapy (疗法), and even local authorities were unsure how to
categorize and regulate such a unique establishment, Deborah stood her ground. She kept offering one-on-one
poetry consultations herself, thoughtfully picking out and recommending poems that matched each visitor’s
specific emotional state. She also put effort into making the shop feel homely and welcoming, and carefully
selected poetry books on display. The Pharmacy has gone from strength to strength, being awarded Regional
Independent Bookshop of the Year in 2024, managing to convince people of its value.
Deborah is certain that the practice of the Poetry Pharmacy will grow more popular with time. She may be
right: In early 2025, the American Medical Association agreed to include poems and related interpretations in their
publication, based on studies showing that poetry can comfort patients and healthcare providers. Deborah said,
“The next chapter is bound to be a good one!”
4．What does the underlined phrase “what the doctor ordered” refer to?
A．Pills for physical health.
B．An alternative mental health care.
C．Regulations on screen exposure.
D．A detection of Internet addiction.
5．What inspired Deborah to be an “Emergency Poet”?
A．Her resolution to cure dementia patients.
B．Her wish to expand medical application.
C．Her eagerness to repurpose an ambulance.
D．Her desire to let poetry reach out to more patients.
6．Why did people doubt when the bookstore opened up?
A．Its business model seemed out-dated.
B．Its potential benefits were overstated.
C．Its value wasn’t fully recognized by the public.
D．Its security was questioned by local government.
7．Why does the author mention the American Medical Association?
A．To prove Deborah’s point.
B．To emphasize its importance.
C．To advocate poetry writing.
D．To commercialize the bookstore.
Passage 6
（2025·重庆·高三5 月质量检测）Every time I told Joan what a great mother she was, she would respond
with the story of a “bad-mother” day. She told me about waking up once in the middle of the night, foggy-brained,
unable to remember if she had put her two-year-old to bed. She got up and was horrified to find the baby’s crib (摇
篮) empty. Racing crazily through the house, she finally found Patty in the kitchen, sound asleep in her high chair.
“At least I had fastened her in the seat,” Joan said.
Nobody’s perfect, we knew, but mothers are somehow expected to exceed all human limits. This ideal is
especially ridiculous since mothers are likely to have more bad days on the job than most professionals, considering
the hours around the clock, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year, no sick days. Given the punishing rules and
the disrespectful labels for any mom who breaks them, mothers are reluctant to admit having bad days. We all have
them, of course, a secret that only makes us feel more guilty. But once my friends and I started telling the truth, we
couldn’t stop.
But however painful or compromising the reality of motherhood, we preferred it to the national game of
“Let’s Pretend”, the fantasy in which we are all supposed to be perfect mothers in perfect families. Once I’d given
birth to my sons, there were no guarantees. That first burst of love expanded over the next two decades, along with
the growing realization thatI could not possess them for long, keep them safe, or ensure their happy lives. Joy/
pain...joy/pain... the heartbeat of motherhood.
24．Why did Joan feel horrified after she got up?
A．Joan had a nightmare about losing Patty.
B．Joan didn’t find Patty in the baby’s crib.
C．Patty was stuck in the high chair.
D．Patty cried loudly in the kitchen.
25．How does the author view the social expectation of mothers being perfect?
A．It is unfair and unrealistic.
B．It is practical and necessary.
C．It encourages better parenting.
D．It denies the importance of motherhood.
26．What do we know about mothers from the text?
A．They went through inner struggles.
B．They ensured their children’s safety.
C．They enjoyed every part of raising kids.
D．They referred to motherhood as effortless.
27．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Mothers’ Emotional Issues
B．Mothers’ Social Contributions
C．Family Structures and Parenting
D．Perfect Mother Myths and Reality
Passage 7
（2025·湖南长沙雅礼中学·高三模拟试卷）My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application
form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who
secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,”
Mom always said. Her words haunted (萦绕) me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to
list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower
petals ( 花瓣). “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned
microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作
用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady
hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing
dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that
looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge
and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never
knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’
skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between
them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their
feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just
multiply possibilities.
24．What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1?
A．She had given up the hobby of drawing.
B．She was excited about studying medicine.
C．She felt torn between art and medical study.
D．She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
25．Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’s “hidden skills” as ______.
A．a plus
B．a leisure
C．a distraction
D．a burden
26．How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her?
A．It helped develop her surgical skills.
B．It directed her toward doctor training.
C．It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art.
D．It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare.
27．What message does the author want to convey?
A．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
B．A picture is worth a thousand words.
C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
D．No skill is ever wasted.
Passage 8
（2025·山东肥城·高考适应性测试）A touching moment at an airport was captured in a Reddit video
shared by users. In the clip, a young girl in a wheelchair approaches a pianist setting up to play. Flashing a
confident smile, she asks if he would like to perform together.
The pianist agrees without hesitation, asking which instrument she plays. When she replies, “cello,”
excitement fills the air. Moments later, the pianist, the young cellist, and her teacher take their places on the
platform, ready to create a beautiful musical collaboration.
The airport grew silent as the young girl, filled with excitement, began playing alongside the pianist.
Travelers quickly gathered near the public piano, absorbed in the unexpected performance and recording the
moment on their phones.
The cellist, 17-year-old Valentina, who is living with a rare muscle disease, poured her heart into the music,
moving many in the crowd to tears. Even the pianist admitted he was in awe. “Music is my medicine,” Valentina
said a heartfelt message that struck a chord with everyone. The travelers witnessed the incredible power of her
music. By the end, her teacher’s proud smile reflected the inspiring spirit of this extraordinary musician.
Reddit users described the performance as a shining example of humanity at its best. Many praised music’s

Passage 9
（2025·广东省深圳·高三下学期第一次调研）Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of
science fiction. His “ExtraordinaryVoyages (航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches
of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100modern-
day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world
with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over
great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with
his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith
immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through
fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism
in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the
foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But
his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose
inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his
submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne human nature determined whether technology would be a
force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the
boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the
extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
4．How does Mr. Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889?
A．By holding an in-person talk.
B．By making a long-distance call.
C．By sending a letter back home.
D．By having an instant video chat.
5．What is the“hard science fiction” based on?
A．The unrealistic fantasies.
B．The fictional technologies.
C．The latest research findings.
D．The imagined future worlds.
6．What can we infer about Verne from Captain Nemo’s story?
A．He is disappointed with human nature.
B．He is aware of the danger of technology.
C．He is in favour of scientific development.
D．He is different from the writers of his time.
7．Which of the following best describes Jules Verne according to the text?
A．Strong-willed.
B．Fantasy-seeking.
C．Positive-minded.
D．Forward-thinking.
Passage 10
（2025·北京朝阳·高三下4 月六校联考）The image of that staircase never left my mind. It had been forty years
since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories.
Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was
really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my
ears.
“Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside the painful message that I was
ugly rooted deep into my soul.
Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college on the West Coast, and left small-town Colorado behind me.
I earned a degree in Communications, launched a rewarding career as a writer and teacher, got married, and raised
two amazing boys. But when I looked in the mirror, the doubts returned.
Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back
and tell those boys off. I wanted to tell them how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they
were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of.
I practiced my speech in my mind as I ran errands (差事), cooked dinner, and exercised at senior aerobics. In
September, I drove down to the town where I’d spent my high school years. I put on my favorite blouse, touched up
my make-up, and steeled myself for the Friday night opening reception.
Maybe it’s true that memory is the first thing to go. On the night, people greeted me politely, drinks in hand,
flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation
photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time.
Had I completely erased that whole period of my life from my memory? Was I at the wrong reunion? No,
some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father,
a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two
grown sons, living in Seattle, and writing résumés for Boeing workers. People were nice enough, but aside from a
couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers.
It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself
by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt
happier, more self-confident and attractive.
Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that
shirt,” she said.
I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it.
24．Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion?

Passage 11
（2025·北京市海淀区·二模）I had wanted to be a cellist for as long as I could remember. At fifteen, I won
a scholarship to a specialist music school. I got up at 5 a.m. to play scales, practised at lunchtime and returned to
my cello (大提琴) after lessons.
One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself too far. I felt a burning pain between my
wrist and elbow. When it hadn’t got better after a day or two, I started to panic. Days became weeks. I still could
not write or play. Weeks turned into months. Opportunities for concerts, recitals, and competitions came and went.
When I wasn’t sitting with my instrument, I was punishing myself for my own stupidity. My technique had
probably not been secure enough for the demands I was placing on it. But now it was too late.
Over two years, I gradually recovered some arm function. I was able to play some early music such as
Handel and Bach, on a baroque cello, as the movements are gentler and lighter. However, the possibility of my arm
letting me down has never left me.
The turning point came, unexpectedly, during a photoshoot for an up-to-date picture. The photographer
suggested I get my cello and see what images of playing might look like. I hesitated — I didn’t see myself as a
cellist any more. But then I fetched it and sat playing snatches of Bach. In that moment, the lens pointing at my
instrument and me, I began to understand something I had only half sensed until then. Away from my cello, my
shadow was missing. Without it I felt incomplete. But with my instrument I was protected and entirely happy in my
own skin.
During that photoshoot I realised I needed to find out what the cello, and its absence, had meant to other
cellists, to understand what it meant to me. So I planned a journey across Europe. I encountered cellos destroyed by
war and shipwreck, and even a cello tat had been turned into a beehive. I even played with a resourceful cellist,
who, having lost the use of his right thumb, ties his bow onto his hand with a bicycle inner tube.
Over the course of my travels, I learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also
beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in
similar situations, I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing.
24．After the injury, the author .
A．tried an alternative career path
B．played Bach to impress the audience
C．secured the performing opportunities
D．blamed herself for practicing too hard
25．The photoshoot experience was a turning point for the author because .
A．it improved her professional image

B．Constant dripping wears the stone.
C．Good things come to those who wait.
D．When given lemons, make lemonade.
Passage 12
（2025·湖南长沙·模拟预测）In the 2010s, 34-year-old Brianne Miller travelled around the world as a
marine biologist. No matter how remote the location, she made the same alarming discovery: large amounts of
plastic littering the water and threatening marine life. Miller knew she needed to do something.
Canadians throw out three million tons of plastic waste each year and approximately one third of all food
produced worldwide goes to waste, too. Miller, determined to fix the problem at the source, planned to open a shop
that went further than banning plastic bags and the bad habit of wasting food .
In 2015, she convinced a Vancouver Patagonia store to host her first pop-up by highlighting their shared
focus on sustainability. With just 10 jars of dried mangoes, local chocolate, nuts, and pasta, she sold out in an
afternoon, realizing she was onto a promising idea. In June 2018, after 18 months of successful pop-ups, Miller
opened Nada, one of Canada’s first zero-waste grocery stores. Designed for easy zero-waste shopping, it offers free
and upcycled containers at the entrance, so customers can choose to bring their own or use the provided ones.
Nada sells the food items you’d expect — all 100 per cent package-free. Miller also turned to online
ordering and delivery. Everything from olive oil to fresh eggs (and you can purchase just one, if you’d like) comes
delivered in upcycled containers, which are collected (and reused again, of course) with the next round of
deliveries.
Those containers do much more than just reduce waste. They get people thinking big, just as Miller had
hoped they would. “They’re tagged with Nada stickers, so you can see how many times the container has been
used,” she says, and then smiles. “If you open someone’s pantry and see all of these Nada-branded packages, it’s
bound to start a conversation.”
1．What inspired Brianne Miller to take action?
A．Her dream of running a business.
B．The serious problem of plastic pollution and food waste.

C．the connection with consumers on environmental sustainability
D．the freshness of the zero-waste shopping concept in Canada at that time
3．What is special about Nada?
A．It only sells local products.
B．It offers free food to customers.
C．It aims at zero-waste shopping.
D．It has the largest number of containers.
4．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Consumers prefer to buy food in large quantities with packaging.
B．There is an increasing demand for environmentally-friendly shopping methods.
C．Online ordering and delivery services are replacing traditional shopping.
D．The market for package-free food items is still in its initial stage.
Passage 13
（2025·四川成都·二模）It was one of my favorite parts of the day, when I walked my husky, Max, around
our neighborhood, the sun shining down on us. “It’s such a beautiful day,” I told him. He barked in agreement
before tugging on the lead, eager to meet new people that he could stop and have a cuddle with. Though wolf-like
in appearance, he was a teddy bear at heart. He was cheeky, and loved testing the limits of what he could do — like
snuggling with us on the couch or the bed — but I loved him for it.
We were around 200m away from our house, when suddenly I felt a thud on my back and everything went
black. When I came around, I was in the hospital, covered in wires. My husband David was by my bedside. “What
happened?” I croaked. I couldn’t remember a thing. David explained a woman had been driving down the quiet
road where Max and I were walking when her vehicle lost control, mounted the pavement and hit me, propelling
me head-first into a rock wall, cracking my skull open and exposing my brain. The wall was surrounded by trees
and bushes, meaning my lifeless body was hidden from sight from anyone walking past.
Fortunately, Max had escaped, unharmed. Realizing I needed help, our clever boy ran home to raise the
alarm. He pawed at the door until David opened it. “He was covered in your blood, and I knew something must
have happened to you,” David told me. When I didn’t answer my phone, he grabbed Max’s lead and let him lead
the way. Before reaching me, David came across the police at the scene where the driver had crashed. “Please, help
me. I can’t find my partner!” he shouted to them. With the help of Max, they found me hidden behind a tree,
unconscious and bleeding.
The ambulance arrived and took me to the hospital, where I was put in an induced coma for 27 days. I’d
sustained a traumatic brain injury and needed to go through an 11-hour reconstructive surgery because every bone
in my face was broken.
“You wouldn’t have made it if it weren’t for Max,” David told me, teary-eyed. The paramedics said if I’d
been left there 10 minutes more, I’d be dead. Max had saved my life.
5．What do we know about Max and the author from Paragraph 1?
A．He tended to be ignorant of her feelings. B．He misunderstood her and acted aggressively.

Passage 14
（2025·河南·模拟预测）If I had been asked a few years ago how I felt about exercise, I would have said
that while I had a gym membership card, working out basically consisted of walking on the treadmill (跑步机) for
fifteen minutes, pretending to know what I was doing with a few of the machines and weights for another fifteen
minutes, and then making my escape.
This changed when life challenges forced me to seek exercise for stress relief. Recognizing my need for
accountability, I joined a gym run by Adria, who became both my strict trainer and friend.
I anticipated that being my friend meant she’d let me relax if I just didn’t feel like attending a class, but that
wasn’t the case — none of my excuses worked on her. If I didn’t show up, I would get a text asking, “What is your
workout plan for this week?” She would not let me out of the commitment I made no matter how many times I
tried. Before long, I noticed physical and emotional improvements in myself, and I began to look forward to going
to the gym.
One day, Adria mentioned she was tired from managing her gym alone and needed a day off. I sympathized
with her but was shocked when the next thing out of her mouth was “Anna, I wish you would get certified because
you are the only one I’d trust with the keys”. I shook my head, knowing that was impossible. Me? A trainer?
However, I couldn’t get her words out of my head. Weeks later, I secretly signed up for a fitness instructor
course. Each time complex content and self-doubt attempted to push me to give up, I would recall Adria’s texts — I
chose to make a commitment and follow through.
When I eventually walked into Adria’s gym for my work as a trainer and saw my certification on the wall,
Adria said, “I’m so proud of you.” “I should be proud of having a friend like you,” I responded.

A．She spoke highly of it.
B．She felt glad to hear it.
C．She refused to accept it.
D．She resolved to work for it.
12．What does the author probably mean in the last paragraph?

Passage 15
（2025·湖北省武汉市第二中学·二次模拟）With a symbolic toast posture and a graceful bow, Song
Haoming and Fu Junxi, both born in 2010s from China, 11-year-old and 12-year-old respectively, launched into a
