主题01 人与自我——做人与做事
Passage 1
(2026·山西运城·二模)
In a world where corporate (公司的) success is often viewed as the ultimate goal, engineer Mantaj Sidhu chose
a completely different path. He walked away from his dream job in Dublin and returned to his roots in Punjab to
pursue something far more personal, which is organic farming and food safety for families.
In Dublin, Mantaj enjoyed financial comfort and professional approval. Yet the memory of impure food on his
parents’ table in India troubled him constantly. That concern was not unfounded. In 2021, nearly one in five food
samples in India failed to meet food safety standards, a statistic that shook him completely. What was on his plate
became a question he could no longer ignore.
In 2022, ignoring the advice of friends and family, he returned home and constituted a business with his
cousin Baljit Singh Gill. On their farmland in Patiala, they started producing organic food. Their work offers urban
families a new way to get genuinely chemical-free produce without having to farm full-time.
Families pay for a six-month plan and are given small lands where up to 18 seasonal vegetables are grown
organically for them. They can visit the farm, observe the process, pick their own vegetables, or have the fresh harvest
delivered straight to their homes. This model brings transparency (透明性) and trust to an often unclear food
system.
Techniques used on the farm rely on cow waste and compost fertilizers, traditional pest controls like sour
buttermilk, and sustainable practices such as mulching (用覆盖物覆盖) to improve soil health. Today, around 35
families regularly receive produce from the farm, with many more on the waiting list. Mantaj earns less than before,
but the peace of mind that comes from feeding his parents safe, nutritious food has redefined success for him.
1.What made Mantaj quit his job in Dublin?
A.The desire to live with his family.B.His disappointment with Irish food.
C.A personal calling related to food purity.
D.His failure to fit into the corporate culture.
2.What does the underlined word “constituted” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Started. B.Left.
C.Found. D.Joined.
3.How does the business model build trust with customers?
A.It allows them to control food variety.
B.It provides free samples before payment.
C.It employs famous chefs to promote quality.
D.It makes them witness how food is grown.
4.What can we learn about the produce of Mantaj’s farm from the last paragraph?
A.It is well received. B.It is highly profitable.
C.It needs more advertisement. D.It takes ages to see its effect.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了工程师 Mantaj Sidhu放弃都柏林的工作,回乡开展有机农业
的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yet the memory of impure food on his parents’ table in India troubled him
constantly. That concern was not unfounded. In 2021, nearly one in five food samples in India failed to meet food
safety standards, a statistic that shook him completely. What was on his plate became a question he could no longer
ignore. (然而,印度父母餐桌上不纯食物的记忆一直困扰着他。这种担忧并非没有根据。2021年,印度近五
分之一的食品样本未能达到食品安全标准,这一统计数据让他完全震惊。他盘子里的食物成了他再也不能
忽视的问题。)”可知,与食物纯度相关的个人追求让Mantaj辞去了在都柏林的工作。故选C。
2.词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“In 2022, ignoring the advice of friends and family, he returned home (2022
年,他不顾亲朋好友的劝告,回到了家乡)”以及后文“a business with his cousin Baljit Singh Gill (和他的堂兄
巴尔吉特·辛格·吉尔做生意)”可知,2022年,他不顾亲朋好友的劝告,回到了家乡,和他的堂兄 Baljit
Singh Gill一起创办了一家公司。故画线词意思是“创办”。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中“They can visit the farm, observe the process, pick their own vegetables, or have
the fresh harvest delivered straight to their homes. This model brings transparency (透明性) and trust to an often
unclear food system. (他们可以参观农场,观察过程,自己采摘蔬菜,或者让新鲜的收获直接送到家里。这种模式为往往不透明的食品系统带来了透明度和信任。)”可知,商业模式通过让顾客见证食物的生长过程
来建立信任。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Today, around 35 families regularly receive produce from the farm, with many
more on the waiting list. (如今,大约有35个家庭定期从农场收到农产品,还有更多的家庭在等待名单上。)”
可知,Mantaj农场的农产品很受欢迎。故选A。
Passage 2
(2026·山西吕梁·二模)
The path to success isn’t always clear-cut. Julia Green knows this well. Just as she graduated from college, a
financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t
give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth.
A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she
could write freely and be paid for it. Afterwards, she applied for the fully funded Master of Fine Arts program, and
was accepted to study fiction writing at the University of Michigan. Though the program didn’t end up opening many
doors for her, she was paid to write and take classes.
Green has never shied away from challenging topics. Marriage, healthcare, employment and more have featured
noticeably in her writing, and she is especially impressive when it comes to music criticism. “I’ve intentionally tried
to keep my lane (道路) very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-
rounded writer.” She penned articles for a variety of websites. Slowly, she began to build a reputation for
fearlessness.
“I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin,” said Green, when asked
about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You
have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.”
In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through
great effort. She landed regular writing positions, worked in respected journals made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and
wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived.
5.What can be learned about Green after her college graduation?
A.Her passion for writing never faded. B.Further education made her optimistic.
C.Her dream came true as planned. D.A financial crisis destroyed her dream.
6.Why did Green begin taking random writings?
A.To explore a new career path. B.To boost her self-confidence.
C.To support herself financially. D.To establish her reputation.7.What’s a distinctive feature of Green’s writing?
A.Focus on family matters. B.Coverage of diverse topics.
C.Insights into school life. D.Exploration of AI technology.
8.Which words can best describe Green?
A.Gifted and organized. B.Generous and considerate.
C.Patient and modest. D.Diligent and determined.

Passage 3
(2026·辽宁名校联盟·二模)
Ever since she was a little girl, Maya has been afraid of heights. Climbing trees, riding escalators, even standing
on a chair to get a book from a high shelf would send her heart racing. This phobia (恐惧症) was something she
simply accepted as part of who she was, until her best friend invited her to go rock climbing for her birthday.
The thought of it made Maya’s palms sweat. She imagined herself clinging to the wall, frozen with fear. Yet,
seeing her friend’s excited face, she couldn’t say no. “What if I just watch?” She suggested weakly. But her friend,
knowing Maya’s fear, gently pushed her to try just once.
On the day of the party, Maya stood at the base of the climbing wall, looking up. It seemed to tower endlessly
into the air. Her hands were shaking as she put on the harness. “Just go as high as you feel comfortable,” the instructor
said kindly. “The goal isn’t the top; the goal is to challenge yourself.”
Taking a deep breath, Maya placed her hand on a rock and her foot on another. She moved slowly, methodically,
focusing only on the next hold. For a moment, she looked down and immediately regretted it. The ground seemed
miles away. Panic started to rise. But then she heard her friends cheering from below, “You got this, Maya!”
She turned her focus back to the wall. Hand over hand, foot over foot. The world narrowed to the rough texture
of the rocks and the satisfying weight of her body moving upward. When she finally reached a point halfway up, she
stopped. She didn’t feel the need to go further. She looked out at the gym, not down at the floor, and saw a new
perspective. The fear was still there, but it was no longer paralyzing. It had become a companion on her climb, a
testament to her courage. That day, Maya learned that true bravery doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid; it means you act
in spite of fear.
9.Why did Maya decide to go rock climbing?
A.She found it looked exciting. B.She wanted to overcome her phobia.
C.She was encouraged by the instructor. D.She didn’t want to disappoint her friend.
10.What does the phrase “the world narrowed” in paragraph 5 imply about Maya?
A.She felt the gym was getting smaller. B.She lost interest in her friend’s cheers.
C.She focused entirely on the climbing task. D.She became more aware of her surroundings.
11.What helped Maya continue climbing when she panicked?
A.The instructor’s guidance. B.The goal of reaching the top.C.Her focus on the next hold. D.Encouragement from her friends.
12.What message does Maya’s story mainly convey?
A.Friendship can help us conquer any fear.
B.True bravery means acting without fear.
C.Facing our fears can lead to personal growth.
D.Rock climbing is an effective treatment for phobias.

兴奋的脸庞,她无法拒绝。)”可知,玛雅决定去攀岩是因为她不想让朋友失望。故选D项。
10.推理判断题。根据第五段中的“She turned her focus back to the wall. Hand over hand, foot over foot. The
world narrowed to the rough texture of the rocks and the satisfying weight of her body moving upward.(她把注意
力转回到岩壁上。手一步步抓,脚一步步蹬。世界缩小到只剩下岩石粗糙的质感和身体向上攀爬时踏实的
重量。)” 可知,玛雅此时完全集中注意力在攀岩的动作和岩壁上,对外界其他事物不再关注,因此“the
world narrowed”表明她全身心投入到攀爬中。故选C项。
11.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Panic started to rise. But then she heard her friends cheering from below,

Passage 4
(2026·黑龙江齐齐哈尔·二模)
Two years ago, 50-year-old Tamsin convinced herself that she had simply outgrown mountain climbing. For
over a decade, she had spent her weekends following the narrow paths that wound through the peaks above her small
town — until suddenly, she stopped. Her boots remained by the door, their soles (鞋底) still marked with dried mud
from a hike she’d abandoned halfway. She said she was too occupied, yet it wasn’t the truth.
What began as a love for open ridges (山脊) had somehow transformed into something heavier. She’d study
the maps late at night, look over routes she no longer allowed herself to attempt, and check the weather forecastsrepeatedly, as though preparing for a journey she never intended to begin. The habits remained, but the act itself
froze. She blamed her schedule, her tiredness, the unreliable conditions of the paths — any explanation except the
one that sat quietly beneath them all.
Her younger brother, a geologist named Solen, finally handed her a different possibility. “You’re not avoiding
the climb,” he said gently. “You’re avoiding the possibility that you might not be the same person who once loved
it.”
That afternoon, Tamsin drove to the base of the oldest path she knew. She sat in the car for forty-seven minutes
before stepping out. She told herself she’d walk only until the first switchback. When she reached it, she kept going
with a kind of determination. Her breath came unevenly at first, and her legs reminded her of months of stillness. Yet
somewhere above the tree line, surrounded by late-afternoon light, she realized her fear had been regret — regret for
the version of herself who’d once moved through these mountains easily.
By the time she returned, the sun had set. She understood then that courage had never been the absence of
being afraid; it’d been the willingness to walk anyway, even when the person she’d been felt so far behind her. The
boots by the door no longer seemed like a judgment. They were simply waiting.
13.What kind of person was the 40-year-old Tamsin?
A.Busy. B.Active. C.Ambitious. D.Cautious.
14.What does the author try to show about Tamsin in paragraph 2?
A.She hid away from her real issue. B.She told small lies to protect herself.
C.She kept preparing but never acted. D.She buried her fear behind daily habits.
15.What did Tamsin finally recognize as the root of her avoidance?
A.Loss of physical strength. B.Worry over the mountain paths.
C.Sorrow for her former self. D.Pressure from her brother.
16.What lesson can we learn from Tamsin’s story?
A.Accepting change helps one succeed.
B.Moving forward despite fear matters.
C.Letting go of the past brings freedom.
D.Acknowledging loss means true courage.
【答案】13.B 14.A 15.C 16.B
【导语】主要讲述塔姆辛一度放弃热爱的登山,在弟弟点醒后重新出发,领悟到勇气是心怀恐惧依然前行
的故事。13.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For over a decade, she had spent her weekends following the narrow paths
that wound through the peaks above her small town — until suddenly, she stopped. (十多年来,她周末都沿着小
镇上方山峰间蜿蜒的小径登山,直到突然停下了脚步。)”可知,40岁时的塔姆辛经常登山,是一个活跃好
动的人。
14.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She blamed her schedule, her tiredness, the unreliable conditions of the paths
— any explanation except the one that sat quietly beneath them all. (她归咎于日程繁忙、身体疲惫、路况不
稳,找了各种理由,却唯独回避了心底真正的原因。)”可知,作者想表明塔姆辛一直在逃避自己真正的问
题。
15.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Yet somewhere above the tree line, surrounded by late-afternoon light, she
realized her fear had been regret — regret for the version of herself who’d once moved through these mountains
easily. (然而在林木线以上的某处,沐浴在傍晚的阳光中,她意识到自己的恐惧其实是遗憾——遗憾那个曾
经轻松穿梭在群山间的自己。)”可知,塔姆辛最终发现自己逃避的根源是对过去自己的惋惜。
16.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“She understood then that courage had never been the
absence of being afraid; it’d been the willingness to walk anyway, even when the person she’d been felt so far behind
her.(那时她才明白,勇气从来不是不害怕,而是即便感到曾经的自己已远去,依然愿意继续向前走。)”可
知,我们能从故事中学到:即便心怀恐惧,依然选择前行才最重要。
Passage 5
(2026·贵州·二模)
I am Frédérique and I will never forget that very first day when I stepped into my first classroom. The school
had a reputation for being filled with the worst-disciplined students in that particular suburban area. The night before
that first encounter I spent hours planning the day’s lesson, and I even referred to my colleagues on the best approach
and materials to strike the students’ fancy. I planned to teach the “perfect tenses”.
When I walked in, the students didn’t even notice my presence. I had to knock on the desk and say the greeting
for the day. In response they just stared at me. It felt like they were examining every inch of me, and at that moment, I
wanted the floor to open up and make me disappear from the face of the earth. Nervously, I began the lesson. I spoke
perfect English. I took out the charts and hung them on the board. The class was silent. No one broke away from his
or her stare. But when I started to finger one student at random to respond to my questions, the rest of class restarted
their own activities, most of which were getting into arguments with their neighbors.
At that point I began to realize how inexperienced I was. All the theories I had learned and memorized in
college about wonderful learning behaviorism and class communication seemed inappropriate and useless. I had tothink on my feet about how to resolve the conflicts between the students and try to direct their short attention into
my well-crafted lesson. The students began to speak with each other in Thai. I tried to speak in Malay. They didn’t
understand me. They ignored me. Grateful for a handful of students who sat in the front rows and who appeared more
academically focused than the rest. They managed to converse with me in Malay.
Teaching is tough, I suppose, because the learning that I experienced as a student was always a sheltered
environment. I went to the best schools, and I had wonderful parents and teachers who supported my learning process
one way or the other. I now know that reality bites, and I learned that the hard way.
17.What can be learned about Frédérique in paragraph 1?
A.She took teaching seriously. B.She had a mind of curiosity.
C.She liked studying grammar. D.She lived in a suburban area.
18.What did Frédérique do when teaching in her first class?
A.She argued with students. B.She escaped from the stage.
C.She tried to engage students. D.She randomly let off her steam.
19.How did Frédérique finally survive her first class?
A.She received some responses. B.She put theories into practice.
C.She shifted students’ attention. D.She switched to speaking Malay.
20.What does the story tell us?
A.Hard work pays off. B.Rome wasn’t built in a day.
C.Every cloud has a silver lining. D.Experience is the mother of wisdom.
【答案】17.A 18.C 19.A 20.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Frédérique第一天当老师的经历,以及她从中得到的成长与
感悟。
17.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The night before that first encounter I spent hours planning the day’s lesson,
and I even referred to my colleagues on the best approach and materials to strike the students’ fancy. I planned to
teach the “perfect tenses”.(在第一次见面的前一晚,我花了几个小时规划当天的课程,甚至向同事请教了最
能吸引学生的方法和材料。我计划教“完成时态”)”可知,Frédérique在上课前精心规划课程、向同事请
教,由此可看出她对待教学非常认真。故选A项。
18.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I spoke perfect English. I took out the charts and hung them on the board.
The class was silent. No one broke away from his or her stare. But when I started to finger one student at random to
respond to my questions, the rest of class restarted their own activities, most of which were getting into argumentswith their neighbors.(我说着一口流利的英语。我拿出图表挂在黑板上。全班鸦雀无声。没有人从凝视中移开
目光。但当我开始随机指着一个学生回答我的问题时,班上其他学生又开始了自己的活动,其中大多数人
都在和邻居争吵)”可知,Frédérique在课堂上努力讲课、展示图表、提问学生,试图让学生参与到课堂中
来。故选C项。
19.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Grateful for a handful of students who sat in the front rows and who appeared
more academically focused than the rest. They managed to converse with me in Malay.(感谢坐在前排的几个学
生,他们看起来比其他人更专注于学习。他们设法用马来语和我交谈)”可知,Frédérique最终能撑过第一堂
课,是因为有几个前排的学生用马来语和她交流,给了她一些回应。故选A项。
20.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Teaching is tough, I suppose, because the learning that I experienced as a
student was always a sheltered environment. I went to the best schools, and I had wonderful parents and teachers
who supported my learning process one way or the other. I now know that reality bites, and I learned that the hard
way.(我想,教学是艰难的,因为我作为学生时的学习环境总是很受保护。我上了最好的学校,有很棒的父
母和老师,他们以各种方式支持我的学习过程。我现在知道现实是残酷的,我是通过惨痛的经历才明白这
一点的)”可推断,这个故事告诉我们,只有亲身经历过,才能获得智慧和成长,即“经验是智慧之母”。
故选D项。

Passage 7
(2026·云南昭通·二模)
On a sunny weekend, a man took his 10-year-old son for a walk in a quiet forest. The boy skipped ahead
excitedly, chasing a colorful butterfly flying among green leaves, his little hands waving gently as he ran. Suddenly,
his foot caught on a thick root hidden under the soft grass.
He tripped and fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through his knee. He screamed loudly in pain, only to
be surprised by a clear echo from the nearby mountain — exactly his scream, lingering in the peaceful woods.
Curiosity soon replaced the pain, and the boy raised his voice to call out a simple question to the mountain.
But the only response was the same question ringing back from the hard rocks in the distance. Annoyed by this
seemingly teasing (戏弄的) repetition, he shouted a rude word angrily, his face turning red with frustration, and the
mountain echoed (回声应和) it without hesitation. Confused by the strange phenomenon that he couldn’t understand,
he turned to his father, who had been watching quietly by his side, for an explanation.
The father smiled gently, telling him to pay close attention. He cupped his hands to raise his voice and shouted
warm praises to the mountain. Immediately, the mountain responded with the same positive words, clear and warm.
The boy stared in amazement, forgetting his knee pain as his father explained the phenomenon.
People call this an “echo,” but it is more than a natural sound — it reflects life itself. Life always gives back
what one puts into it, a true mirror of our words and actions. To gain love, kindness or respect, we must first offer
these sincerely.
25.What made the boy angry during the walk?
A.Falling down. B.Missing the butterfly.C.Repetition of his words. D.Father’s failure to help.
26.Which is the correct order of the boy’s feelings?
A.Surprised→Angry→Amazed→CuriousB.Surprised→Curious→Angry→Amazed
C.Curious→Surprised→Angry→Confused D.Curious→Confused→Amazed→Angry
27.Why did the father shout warm praises to the mountain?
A.To calm his son down. B.To teach his son a truth.
C.To show his love for nature. D.To make fun of the phenomenon.
28.What can we learn from the story?
A.No pain, no gain. B.Practice makes perfect.
C.Do well and have well. D.Actions speak louder than words.

会得到什么”的人生道理,故选B项。
28.推理判断题。通读全文特别是最后一段“To gain love, kindness or respect, we must first offer these
sincerely.(想要得到爱、善良或尊重,我们必须先真诚地付出这些。)”可知,这个故事核心是传递“付出与
回报相对应”的道理,而“Do well and have well”意为“善有善报”,与故事主旨一致。故选C项。
Passage 8
(2026·陕西西安·二模)
Karen de Boer still remembers the morning when she almost missed her choir’s (合唱团的) performance
during her freshman year in 1990. The choir, selected for an international tour to China, would perform at a church
an hour away. But Karen overslept, missed the bus, and panicked.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she imagined the consequences. “This was my big chance. If I missed this
performance, I might get kicked out of the choir. No choir meant no international tour.” Karen recalled, her voice still
trembling slightly at the memory.
In desperation, she ran into the dorm hallway. “I was just standing there, completely lost, when I heard a door
open behind me.”
It was Pam, Karen’s neighbor from across the hall. Karen and her friends had repeatedly interrupted her study
with their loud laughter and practical jokes just weeks before.
“What’s wrong?” Pam asked, her voice surprisingly gentle despite their rocky history.
Karen swallowed hard. “I... I missed the choir bus. Our performance will start in less than an hour and no taxi
will get there.”
To her astonishment, Pam didn’t hesitate. “Wait here,” she said firmly. Two minutes later, she returned with
car keys. “I know where that church is. Let’s go.”
The ride was quiet at first. Then Karen finally found the courage to speak. “Pam... I’m sorry we kept you up
at night...”
Pam kept her eyes on the road but smiled slightly. “Everyone deserves a second chance.”
They arrived with just minutes to spare. As Karen rushed to join her choir members, she turned back to see
Pam waving encouragingly.
Years later, Karen sees Pam’s act as more than just a ride — it was forgiveness. “She showed me kindness I
didn’t deserve,” Karen said. If she could speak to Pam today, she would apologize again for her past behavior and
thank Pam. “That decision changed my life. It taught me the power of grace.”
29.Why was Karen concerned that morning?A.She missed the choir bus. B.She forgot the international tour.
C.She mistook the performance time. D.She was kicked out of the choir.
30.How did Pam help Karen?
A.She called a taxi for her. B.She took her on a bike.
C.She drove her to the destination. D.She encouraged her to perform.
31.What can we infer about Pam’s character?
A.Strict but fair. B.Shy and quiet.
C.Ambitious but easy-going. D.Kind and forgiving.
32.What does the story mainly teach us?
A.Time management matters. B.True kindness changes lives.
C.Friendship requires efforts. D.Performance connects people.
【答案】29.A 30.C 31.D 32.B

church an hour away. But Karen overslept, missed the bus, and panicked.(这支被选中赴中国进行国际巡演的合唱
团,将在一小时车程之外的一座教堂演出。但是Karen睡过头了,错过了班车,感到惊慌失措。)”可知,
Karen那天早上担心是因为她错过了合唱团的班车。故选A。
30.细节理解题。根据原文第七段“To her astonishment, Pam didn’t hesitate. “Wait here,” she said firmly. Two
minutes later, she returned with car keys. “I know where that church is. Let’s go.”(令她惊讶的是,Pam毫不犹豫。
“在这儿等着。” 她语气坚定地说。两分钟后,她拿着车钥匙回来了。“我知道那个教堂在哪儿,我们走
吧。”)”可知,Pam开车把Karen送到了目的地。故选C。
31.推理判断题。根据原文倒数第二段“Pam kept her eyes on the road but smiled slightly. “Everyone deserves
a second chance.”(Pam 眼睛看着路,微微笑了笑。“每个人都应该有第二次机会。”)”以及最后一段
““She showed me kindness I didn’t deserve,” Karen said.(Karen说:“她给予了我本不配得到的善意。”)”可
知,Pam善良且宽容。故选D。
32.推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“That decision changed my life. It taught me the power of grace.(那个举
动改变了我的人生。它教会了我善意的力量。)”结合Pam不计前嫌地帮助Karen的故事情节可知,这个故
事主要告诉我们真正的善意能够改变人生。故选B。
Passage 9(2026·山西太原·二模)
When I was a little girl, my mom often put me in front of the TV while she did housework. Watching Julia
Child from Julia & Company, whom I thought of as a babysitter, I absorbed the idea that the kitchen was a creative lab.
By six, mom trusted me with chopping boiled eggs and mixing up cookie dough. Over the years, The French Chef and
Good Eats filled my young brain with practical cooking skills and mom helped me put them into action.
Today when you turn on the TV, you will see that Food Network, once the flagship of cooking instructions,
has filled programs with competitions like Chopped with celebrity judges, presenting restaurant dishes as luxury
experiences that create a forbidding barrier to the kitchen — a far cry from early TV chefs’ pursuit of accessibility.
Product placements are built into the shows, turning cooking into a tool to chase ratings and make profits. Internet
influencers have filled that gap with their creations, though not all pass our taste tests. With AI advancing, some
influencers aren’t even humans. Their contents are just eye candy for shrinking attention spans.
Yet hands-on practices that build life satisfaction, and any deeper link formed through them, are typically
passed from one person to another. What I learned from The French Chef led me to the kitchen, but it was my mom
who welcomed me to stand beside her at the counter, guiding me to chop vegetables and internalize many of her
recipes to the degree that I can make them taste exactly as she did. It keeps her present in my life nearly a decade
after she passed away.
The TV and Internet offer countless resources for mastering a skill, but my own experience is a vivid illustration
that real skills take root only through personal instruction — when someone, be it real or on the TV, guides us patiently
through small steps from an early age. Now, decades later, when friends ask why my sauces never break, I know it’s
those approachable, patient lessons from childhood living on in my hands.
33.What can be inferred about the author’s early life?
A.She learned to cook from a young age. B.She valued her babysitter Julia’s help.
C.She was addicted to watching TV shows.D.She was burdened with heavy housework.
34.How does the author find the current shows on Food Network?
A.Unprofessional. B.Commercialized. C.Instructive. D.Innovative.
35.What does “my sauces never break” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.I never mess up a dish. B.I never try new ingredients.
C.I never give up cooking. D.I never use mom’s recipes.
36.What message does the author want to convey?
A.Childhood memories shape career choices.
B.Hands-on guidance helps pass down skills.C.Self-education is an essential part of learning.
D.Social media facilitate knowledge acquisition.
【答案】33.A 34.B 35.A 36.B
【导语】文章通过作者的亲身经历,讲述了烹饪技能的传承离不开亲身实践与耐心指导,真正的技艺需要
从小通过手把手教学才能扎根。
1.推理判断题。根据首段中的“When I was a little girl, my mom often put me in front of the TV while she did
housework. Watching Julia Child from Julia & Company, whom I thought of as a babysitter, I absorbed the idea that
the kitchen was a creative lab. By six, mom trusted me with chopping boiled eggs and mixing up cookie dough.(当
我还是个小女孩的时候,妈妈做家务时经常把我放在电视机前。我看《朱莉娅和伙伴们》节目里的朱莉娅·
查尔德,把她当成保姆,从中我明白了厨房是一个创意实验室。六岁时,妈妈放心让我切煮鸡蛋和搅拌曲
奇面团)”可知,作者从小就开始学习烹饪。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Product placements are built into the shows, turning cooking into a tool to
chase ratings and make profits.(产品植入融入到节目中,将烹饪变成了追逐收视率和盈利的一种手段)”可知,
作者认为如今的美食节目商业化了。
3.词句猜测题。根据末段中的“I know it’s those approachable, patient lessons from childhood living on in my
hands.(我知道是童年那些浅显易懂、耐心的教导留在了我的手上)”可知,作者从小接受耐心指导,厨艺娴
熟、做菜从不出错。画线短语my sauces never break应含有“做菜从不失手”之意,这与“I never mess up a
dish.”含义相同。
4.推理判断题。结合第三段中的“Yet hands-on practices that build life satisfaction, and any deeper link formed
through them, are typically passed from one person to another.(然而,那些能提升生活满意度的实践活动,以及
通过这些活动建立起来的更深层次的联系,通常是从一个人传递给另一个人的)”以及末段中的“The TV and
Internet offer countless resources for mastering a skill, but my own experience is a vivid illustration that real skills
take root only through personal instruction — when someone, be it real or on the TV, guides us patiently through
small steps from an early age.(电视和互联网为掌握一项技能提供了无数资源,但我自己的经历生动地表明,
真正的技能只有通过亲身指导才能生根发芽——当有人,无论是真人还是电视上的人,从小就耐心地一步
步引导我们时)”可知,作者想要传达的核心是实践指导有助于技能的传承。

Passage 1(2026·吉林长春·二测)
For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer
vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent
of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and
slow.
The change began with the arrival of a young agricultural scientist, Miss Li, from the county’s new “Rural
Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis charts.
My grandfather listened with polite skepticism, his face a mask of weathered tradition. Out of boredom, I started
wandering around them. I was surprised to find myself inspired. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet
into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark (火花) of curiosity lit
up where there was once only dullness.
One afternoon, a sudden hailstorm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic seized me — not for myself, but for
the vines we had grown. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path. For
the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friends. A fierce sense of protection, mixed
with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I got involved.
The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my
shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A profound pride, deep and
solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching
it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered
my own.
1.What did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyard?
A.A burden. B.A reward. C.A lesson. D.An entertainment.
2.What changed the author’s view of the vineyard?
A.Miss Li’s suggestion. B.His grandfather’s persuasion.
C.His involvement in the vineyard. D.The new “Rural Revitalization” project.
3.What does “canvas” in the last paragraph symbolize?
A.The freedom of modern urban life.
B.A material for recording one’s experience.
C.The transition between tradition and modernity.
D.A platform for realizing one’s potential and value.
4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A.From Chain to Canvas: My Growth in the Vineyard.
B.A Summer Escape: From City Life to the Countryside.
C.An Exciting Success: the “Rural Revitalization” Project.
D.The Lasting Conflict: Traditional Wisdom vs Modern Tech.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者从厌恶祖父的葡萄园,到参与乡村振兴相关事务,最终在这片
土地上实现自我成长与价值认同。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me
to a forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. (多年来,我把祖父的葡萄园看作是束缚我、让
我困在被遗忘的过去的锁链。每个暑假都像是一种惩罚。)”可知,作者最初把在葡萄园的夏天当作一种负
担。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for
Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li.(我开始把平板上的专业术语用我们的方言翻译给爷
爷听,同时也把爷爷积攒了几十年的经验智慧讲解给李小姐。)”和第三段中的“I was no longer just an
observer; I got involved.(我不再只是一个旁观者,而是参与了进来。)”以及后续经历可知,作者亲身参与到
葡萄园的事务中,这改变了他对葡萄园的看法。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but
about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I
had discovered my own.(我终于明白,我的成长不是逃离这片土地,而是去丰富它。葡萄园不再是我的锁
链,它成了我的画布。在帮助它重焕生机的过程中,我也找到了自己的根。)”可知,作者在葡萄园里实现
了自我价值,找到了成长的方向,因此canvas(画布)象征着实现个人潜能与价值的平台。故选D项。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的 “For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard as a chain tying
me to a forgotten past.(多年来,我一直把祖父的葡萄园看作是束缚我、让我困在被遗忘过去的锁链。)”和最
后一段中的“The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. (葡萄园不再是束缚我的锁链,
它成了我的画布。)”可知,文章以作者对葡萄园的情感变化为线索,从一开始视其为束缚自己的锁链,到
最后将其看作施展自我的画布,完整展现了作者在葡萄园中的成长历程,因此“从锁链到画布:我在葡萄
园里的成长”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。
Passage 2
(2026·重庆沙坪坝·二模)With an ageing population, the ‘downsizing dilemma’ is one confronting thousands of older Australians. For
the Sydney couple, Anne and Dudley, they made the choice to downsize into independent living before any health
crisis forced them to.
Their decision was clear. They no longer needed a large house for big parties. Research shows most want to
stay in their local area, and for them, it was an easy one — they could see their new apartment, ‘The Grove by
Elysium,’ from their old house’s balcony.
However, letting go was the hardest part. Their home was filled with items of emotional attachment. They
passed some, like a 1927 dining table, to their grandchildren, and donated other pieces to charity. “You can’t keep it
all,” Anne says.
Since the move, life has become simpler and more enjoyable. Living in a smaller space is easy to keep clean,
and they have no maintenance worries. They’ve also embraced the community’s social life, participating in yoga,
walking groups, and happy hours. Dudley, with balance issues, uses the onsite pool regularly. Most importantly, they
feel a sense of security. “We have comfort knowing that if anything happens, we are already here. We don’t have to
move again,” says Dudley.
Helping them through this emotional transition was their granddaughter, Emma O’ Sullivan, a professional
organizer. The experience with her grandparents gave her a new perspective, deepening her empathy for clients. Her
company now helps families with the entire downsizing process, handling everything from removing unnecessary
items to setting up the new home with care and patience.
5.Why did the Sydney couple decide to downsize?
A.They had to move due to health problems. B.They wanted to escape from the local area.
C.They needed to save money for big parties. D.They considered a large house unnecessary.
6.What does the underlined phrase “letting go” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Giving up jobs. B.Forgetting past life experiences.
C.Selling old furniture. D.Parting with memorable possessions.
7.What has Emma O’ Sullivan been doing recently?
A.Organizing social activities. B.Dealing with personal items.
C.Assisting with downsizing process. D.Providing emotional guidance.
8.What is the text mainly about?
A.Less is more. B.Smaller space, happier elders.
C.More downsizers, better communities. D.Forgetting the past, embracing the future.【答案】5.D 6.D 7.C 8.B

5.细节理解题。根据第二段“They no longer needed a large house for big parties.(他们不再需要那么大的房子
来举办大型聚会了)”可知,这对悉尼的夫妇决定减少住房面积是因为他们认为大房子并非必要之物。故选
D。
6.词句猜测题。根据第三段“Their home was filled with items of emotional attachment. They passed some, like
a 1927 dining table, to their grandchildren, and donated other pieces to charity.(他们的家中摆满了承载着深厚情
感的物品。他们将一些物品,比如一张1927年的餐桌,传给了自己的孙辈,而将其他一些物品则捐赠给
了慈善机构)”可知,家里满是饱含情感的物品,需要转送、捐赠,letting go指割舍承载回忆与情感的私人
物品。故划线词意思是“舍弃那些珍贵的物品”。故选D。
7.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Her company now helps families with the entire downsizing process, handling
everything from removing unnecessary items to setting up the new home with care and patience.(她的公司现在会
为家庭提供整个减缩物品的全过程服务,涵盖从清理多余物品到精心布置新家等所有环节,而且整个过程
都充满耐心与细心)”可知,艾玛·奥·沙利文最近在协助进行缩小住房的过程。故选C。
8.主旨大意题。根据第四段“Since the move, life has become simpler and more enjoyable. Living in a smaller
space is easy to keep clean, and they have no maintenance worries.(自从搬家以来,生活变得更加简单且更加愉
快了。居住在一个较小的空间里便于保持整洁,而且他们也不用担心维护问题)”结合文章主要说明了人口
老龄化下,一对悉尼夫妇主动缩小住房,忍痛舍弃怀旧旧物。迁居后生活轻松安心,其孙女也由此创业,
专门帮助家庭完成精简搬家的全过程。可知,这篇文章主要讲的是更小居住空间,让老人生活更幸福。故
选B。
Passage 3
(2026·贵州毕节·二模)
When someone hears I always visit Mrs. Bacon, my eighth-grade English teacher, they often say, “That’s so
sweet of you to look in on your old teacher.” In fact, she has done far more for me than I could ever do for her. She
was brought into my life for a reason.
Mrs. Bacon distinguished herself on the first day by giving each student a journal. “This is for your honest
thoughts,” she explained. “Write freely. If there’s anything you don’t want to share with me, just mark it and I’ll skip
it.” This offer meant a lot. I loved writing, yet I hid my home life. My home was filled with tense arguments. Mrs.
Bacon’s class became my safe place.Once, I came down with the flu and had to stay at home. I found my journal with a note: “Describe a day from
an observer’s perspective.” I wrote pages, finally telling the painful reality I protected myself from. That night, I slept
peacefully for the first time in months.
Back at school, a note on my journal read, “Please see me.” Anxiety struck — I’d forgotten to mark the entry
private. After class, Mrs. Bacon said gently, “I read your pages. My heart aches for you.” Over lunch, she volunteered
to tell stories of her own struggle with loss. Her openness dissolved my shame. I felt safe being just as open and
honest with her. She listened, offering a safe place without judgment. This sincere connection became my inner
strength, paving the way for the lifelong guidance she would offer me.
At the end of school year, she told me, “You have a gift for writing. I expect to witness your journey.” She
kept her word, remaining a guiding force which inspired my careers in education and writing — my first novel was
dedicated to her.
Mrs. Bacon’s deepest impact was transformative. As the first person I could wholeheartedly rely on, she led
me toward greater strength and faith.
9.Why did Mrs. Bacon give each student a journal?
A.To improve their writing skills.
B.To encourage them to make up stories.
C.To help them escape family arguments.
D.To allow them to express true feelings safely.
10.Why did Mrs. Bacon share her personal struggles?
A.To create mutual trust. B.To teach a life lesson.
C.To explain her sadness. D.To compare experiences.
11.What does the underlined word “dissolved” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Recorded. B.Removed. C.Understood. D.Strengthened.
12.Which best describes Mrs. Bacon’s influence on the author?
A.Positive and far-reaching. B.Shallow and all-round.
C.Meaningless and life-changing. D.Inspiring and short-term.
【答案】9.D 10.A 11.B 12.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与八年级英语老师之间的深厚情谊,以及老师对作者产
生的积极且深远的影响。

释道。“随意写。如果有什么你不想和我分享的,就做个标记,我会跳过它。”)”可知,老师给每个学生
一本日记是为了让他们安全地表达真实的感受。故选D。
10.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Over lunch, she volunteered to tell stories of her own struggle with loss. Her
openness dissolved my shame. I felt safe being just as open and honest with her.(午餐时,她主动讲述了自己与失
去抗争的故事。她的坦率消除了我的羞愧。我觉得和她一样坦诚相待很安全。)”可知,老师分享自己的个
人经历是为了与作者建立相互信任的关系。故选A。
11.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Her openness dissolved my shame. I felt safe being just as open and honest with
her.(她的坦率dissolved了我的羞愧。我觉得和她一样坦诚相待很安全。)”可知,她的坦率让作者不再感到
羞愧,所以 dissolved 在此处的意思是“消除,去除”,与 removed 意思相近。A. Recorded 记录;B.
Removed消除;C. Understood理解;D. Strengthened加强。故选B。
12.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段中“Mrs. Bacon’s deepest impact was transformative. As the
first person I could wholeheartedly rely on, she led me toward greater strength and faith.(Mrs. Bacon 对我影响最
深的是她对我的转变。作为我第一个可以全心全意依靠的人,她带领我走向更大的力量和信念。)”可知,

Passage 4
(2026·四川南充·二模)
I’ve been interested in the natural world ever since I was a little boy. Every weekend, I’d check out as many
books about animals from the library as I could carry. I dreamed of following in Jane Goodall’s footsteps, going away
for years to live in the wild and study animals. Sometimes I’d crouch in the grass for hours, iPad in hand, hoping to
get the perfect shot of a grasshopper.
Over the years, I’ve changed in many ways, but my love of nature and science has never faded. Since I entered
high school, I have been in the Science Olympiad team. That old sense of wonder I felt as a child when studying
animals came rushing back. Every day brings new adventures. One day, I might be exploring the birth of the universe
as an astronomer; the next, I could be studying the rocks beneath my feet as a geologist.
I’m lucky to have so many amazing teammates. Together, we’ve run tests to perfect the design of our model
car. We’ve pretended to be forensic (法医的) scientists, solving “crimes” by studying different objects.
I used to prefer working alone. I once thought a team could succeed only if everyone was an expert. Working
with my Science Olympiad teammates has changed my mind. I’ve learned that teamwork isn’t just about dividing up
the work — it’s about combining strengths. No great achievement, from landing on the moon to mapping the humangenome, has ever been made alone. It always takes thousands of people working together to make the impossible
possible.
I’m eager for my next science adventure. But unlike before, I now know that I won’t be a lone explorer. My
teammates will be by my side, learning and growing alongside me.
13.What did the author do every weekend as a child?
A.He studied animals in the wild.
B.He borrowed animal books from the library.
C.He read books about Jane Goodall.
D.He photographed grasshoppers with his iPad.
14.What features the author’s activities in high school?
A.It covers a range of science fields.
B.It focuses on designing model cars.
C.It requires working alone for long periods.
D.It is always related to studying animals.
15.Which proverb best reflects the author’s new view on cooperation?
A.Birds of a feather flock together.
B.Many hands make light work.
C.Great minds think alike.
D.A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.
16.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Power of Scientific Curiosity
B.The Joy of Studying Animals
C.From a Lone Explorer to a Team Player
D.Adventures in the Science Olympiad Team
【答案】13.B 14.A 15.B 16.C

Passage 5
(2026·四川成都·二诊)
When I first came across Hirano, he didn’t really stand out to me. He was among several figurines (小塑像)
put in a corner of Pop Mart’s studio. Little did I know that was the beginning of a connection I had yet to realize.
It wasn’t until I joined Pop Mart as a livestream host last July — part of my job was to familiarize myself with
every IP in the company — that my true journey with Hirono began.
As I introduced Hirono to others, I began to appreciate the quiet charm hidden in his world. His expression is
always sullen — drooping eyes, slouched posture, an almost “untouchable” aura. Not the cutest or most eye-catching
look, I would say, but I came to realize that it’s all a protective shell.In him, I saw a reflection of myself: the loneliness and confusion that surface under life’s pressure, and the
indifferent masks we sometimes put on to cope with reality. Though I am usually an extrovert, cheerful and bubbly
on the outside, the truth is that every story carries untold chapters. Through Hirono, I allow myself to feel the vast
wilderness I rarely reach in my heart, and often I see my own emotions projected onto his figure.
One of my favorite series of Hirono is definitely “Echo”. As a foreign student in China, homesickness quietly
lingers in the background of my life. This series reminds me that these echoes of the past are not just fleeting shadows,
but silent companions that resurface when I need them most, giving me strength and allowing me to break free from
the weight of reality, even just for a moment. To me, Hirono is a friend who teaches me to embrace both the loneliness
and the light within.
Working at Pop Mart has shown me that these toys are not merely figurines, but little “happy pills” that lift
spirits and brighten days. Perhaps that is why Hirono continues to live in the hearts of so many young people — not
only as a collectible, but as a gentle reminder that we are never truly alone.
17.What made me become interested in Hirono?
A.My first encounter with Pop Mart. B.My experience as a foreign student.
C.My appreciation for its eye-catching look. D.My opportunity to work with Pop Mart.
18.How did I resonate with Hirono?
A.Their true selves were hidden from others. B.They wore cheerful looks on their faces.
C.They were indifferent to the reality. D.They were protected by their followers.
19.Why is “Echo” my favorite series?
A.It offers me a permanent escape from reality.
B.It symbolizes the rebellious spirit of the youth.
C.It makes me feel nostalgic for my hometown.
D.It empowers me to get away from life pressure.
20.What’s my purpose of writing this passage?
A.To share a philosophy of life taught by Hirono.
B.To promote the sales of figurines in Pop Mart.
C.To increase the exposure of Hirono in the media.
D.To tell how to choose favorite toys in Pop Mart.
【答案】17.D 18.A 19.D 20.A

allow myself to feel the vast wilderness I rarely reach in my heart, and often I see my own emotions projected onto
his figure.(在他身上,我看到了自己的影子:在生活压力下浮现的孤独和困惑,以及我们有时为了应对现实

上)”可知,作者和Hirono的共鸣之处在于他们都将真实的自我隐藏起来,不让别人看到。故选A。
19.细节理解题。根据第五段“One of my favorite series of Hirono is definitely ‘Echo’. As a foreign student in
China, homesickness quietly lingers in the background of my life. This series reminds me that these echoes of the
past are not just fleeting shadows, but silent companions that resurface when I need them most, giving me strength

去的这些回声不仅仅是转瞬即逝的影子,而是无声的伴侣,它们在我最需要的时候重新出现,给我力量,
让我摆脱现实的压力,哪怕只是一瞬间)”可知,“Echo”系列让作者感受到力量,摆脱现实压力,所以作者
最喜欢这个系列。故选D。

工作让我明白,这些玩具不仅仅是小塑像,而是能振奋精神、点亮生活的小“快乐药丸”。也许这就是为
什么Hirono继续活在许多年轻人的心中——它不仅仅是一件收藏品,更是一个温柔的提醒,提醒我们永远
不是真正的孤独)”以及全文内容可知,作者通过讲述自己与Hirono的故事,分享了Hirono所传达的生活哲
学,即要拥抱内心的孤独和光明,我们永远不会真正孤独。故选A。
Passage 6
(2026·陕西·二模)This fall, I officially became an empty nester. My boys — the older started third year and the younger just
started first year — are living independently, beyond the reach of my house rules, annoying parental suggestions and
frequent complaints about their disaster of a bathroom.
It’s taken me a while to learn how to live with my grown children when they come back for a visit. Having
older kids, especially those who attend or who are about to attend university, requires a fine balance of understanding
their need for independence and autonomy (自主) while still maintaining some order, agreed-upon conduct and basic
cleanliness. When my older son came home after his first year, we faced late-night kitchen messes, odd hours and
general chaos. It created so much frustration and, honestly, more annoyance than I care to admit.
That summer was rough — too many ignored rules, too much conflict and a kitchen that seemed to exist in a
state of chaos. Neither of us really understood the other’s perspective, and we definitely didn’t handle it as well as
we could have.
This past summer, my older son and I finally had an enlightening conversation. I took our conversation as an
opportunity to ask his advice about how I could best handle his brother’s similar behavior. He reassured me that:
there were no plans to drive me crazy. His brother was just being a normal self-involved teenager and not doing
what I asked had nothing to do with me.
Wow. That conversation was a game-changer. The next day, I thought about how I could shift my approach. I
could lead with kindness. And set a few basic rules of engagement, helpfully backed by a simple deal — access to
the family car — and aim for peace over perfection. As my children both prepared to launch, I learned to let go of
the small things, to offer help instead of criticism, and to hug more.
My children have taught me that the best way to hold on is sometimes to let go — to balance love with the
freedom they need.
As I embrace my new reality free of school drop-offs and pick-ups, sports practices, appointments, I must
admit that although my kitchen is spotless, I do miss their boyish energy, teasing, and constant hunt for protein.
21.Why did the author feel frustrated during her older son’s first summer back home?
A.He challenged her parental authority. B.He ignored house rules and created disorder.
C.He refused to communicate with her. D.He spent too much time hanging out.
22.What did the author learn from the talk with her older son?
A.Her sons were always trying to upset her.
B.It’s typical of her younger son to be self-involved.
C.She needed to set stricter rules for her sons.
D.Her younger son did not mean to hurt her.23.Why does the author mention her kitchen in the last paragraph?
A.To boast about her excellent sorting ability. B.To show her mixed feelings of new life.
C.To convey her regret about her past parenting. D.To reveal her anxiety about the future life.
24.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Art of Letting Go and Holding On.B.The Conflict and Resolution in the Family.
C.Balance between Family Life and Love.D.Journey to One’s Freedom and Growth.

messes, odd hours and general chaos. It created so much frustration and, honestly, more annoyance than I care to
admit.(当我的大儿子大一回家后,我们面对的是深夜凌乱的厨房、不规律的作息和一片混乱的状态。这让

many ignored rules, too much conflict and a kitchen that seemed to exist in a state of chaos. (那个夏天过得很艰难
——太多被无视的规矩,太多的矛盾,还有一个似乎一直处于混乱状态的厨房。)”可知,作者感到沮丧是

项。
23.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As I embrace my new reality free of school drop-offs and pick-ups, sports

认,尽管我的厨房一尘不染,但我确实想念他们男孩子的活力、打趣的样子,还有他们总是在找高蛋白食

to offer help instead of criticism, and to hug more.(当我的两个孩子都准备好独立生活时,我学会了放下小事,主动提供帮助而非指责,也学会了更多地去拥抱他们。)”以及第六段中的“My children have taught me
that the best way to hold on is sometimes to let go — to balance love with the freedom they need. (我的孩子们让
我明白,守护的最佳方式有时是放手——在爱与他们所需的自由之间找到平衡。)”可知,文章核心是作者
在与孩子的相处中,学会了在守护孩子和适当放手之间找到平衡,因此“The Art of Letting Go and Holding
On(学会放下与懂得珍惜的智慧)”概括了文章主题,适合作为本文标题。故选A项。
Passage 7
(2026·陕西铜川·二模)
I often take walks in the middle of my writing day. One afternoon, I returned home, looked at my front
door, and felt how normal and safe it seemed. Then a question occurred to me: What if I came back and found the
door wide open? That simple idea became the seed for my novel Gone Girl.
Around that time, I watched many true-crime shows, in which the husband was often the “bad guy”. But in
my story, the husband would not be completely innocent, nor completely evil.
No story comes to a writer in full form. Gone Girl changed hugely when I was writing it. At first, I wrote only
from Nick’s point of view. Amy’s voice was missing. To understand her, I wrote short exercises. One of them later
became the now-famous “cool girl” passage. I also imagined many possible endings — should Amy be recognized
by strangers, or even be killed? In the end, I felt Nick and Amy were locked in a special, troubling bond. They harmed
each other, yet depended on each other.
My years as a journalist helped me accept that a first draft is always rough. The writing process was no mystery
to me; I knew no sudden inspiration would come to fix it. I had to solve the problems myself. Many people give up
because their first draft feels terrible. But all first drafts are like that.
While writing Gone Girl, I had many doubts. The story had no clear hero, and the biggest surprise came in the
middle, not the end. I liked the idea, and luckily my editors did too, but none of us knew whether readers would enjoy
it. To our relief, booksellers supported it early on. The novel entered the bestseller list at number two and soon reached
number one.
I do not expect to repeat my success. I’m going to write other great books, but there’s never going to be another
Gone Girl. That was just pure lightning in a bottle and I was lucky to be there for it.
25.What first inspired the author to write Gone Girl?
A.A dream about danger. B.A true-crime TV show.
C.A thought about her door. D.Her husband’s strange behavior.
26.What does the author think about first drafts?
A.They can be perfect.B.They usually show final style.
C.They are usually far from perfect.
D.They should be brief to the point.
27.What can we infer about the novel’s early reception?
A.Readers disliked its lack of a clear hero.
B.It was rejected by booksellers immediately.
C.It faced strong criticism from true-crime fans.
D.Editors and booksellers showed early support.
28.What does the underlined part “lightning in a bottle” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.A long-time effort. B.A rare lucky event.
C.A common success. D.A well-planned result.
【答案】25.C 26.C 27.D 28.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者创作小说《消失的爱人》的灵感来源、创作过程中对故事的构
思与修改,以及对初稿的看法,还提及小说早期的反响和作者对这次成功的感悟。
25.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One afternoon, I returned home, looked at my front door, and felt how normal
and safe it seemed. Then a question occurred to me: What if I came back and found the door wide open? That simple
idea became the seed for my novel Gone Girl.(一天下午,我回到家,看着前门,觉得它看起来是多么正常和
安全。然后我想到一个问题:如果我回来发现门大开着怎么办?这个简单的想法成为了我小说《消失的爱
人》的种子。)”可知,最初激发作者写《消失的爱人》的是关于她家前门的一个想法,故选C项。
26.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My years as a journalist helped me accept that a first draft is always rough.
(我作为记者的经历帮助我接受了初稿总是粗糙的这一事实)”可知,作者认为初稿通常远非完美,故选C
项。
27.推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I liked the idea, luckily my editors did too, but none of us knew whether
readers would enjoy it. To our relief, booksellers supported it early on.(我喜欢这个想法,幸运的是,我的编辑
们也喜欢这个想法,但我们都不知道读者是否会喜欢它。让我们欣慰的是,书商很早就支持它)”可知,编
辑和书商在早期就对这部小说表示支持,故选D项。
28.词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“I do not expect to repeat my success. I’m going to write other great books,
but there’s never going to be another Gone Girl. That was just pure lightning in a bottle and I was lucky to be there
for it.(我不期望重复我的成功。我会写其他很棒的书,但不会再有另一本《消失的爱人》。那只是
lightning in a bottle,我很幸运能参与其中。)”可知,作者认为《消失的爱人》的成功很难复制,是一种罕见的幸运事件,所以“lightning in a bottle”意思是“a rare lucky event(罕见的幸运事件)”,故选B
项。
主题03人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通
Passage 1
(2026·重庆渝中·二模)
At Cheverton Lodge Care Home, festive jingling breaks out from 17-year-old Ted Mayer’s speaker and he
launches into his Christmas set. A seasoned volunteer, he has been singing in care homes since he was six. Ted’s
charm has won over many in the audience, particularly the older ladies.
But it’s not for everyone. Jeanette Hodes, 92, offers an impatient “come on, get on with it,” and leans back in
her chair. On a nearby trolley a cat’s cradle (翻花绳) has caught her eye. The string is quickly brought over to her.
Soon enough she is transported to the playground of her youth, offering cheerfully-recalled anecdotes from when she
learnt double dutch with friends as her mother could not afford to buy her a Sindy doll.
Looking on fondly is Jill Fraser, 68, the founder of Kissing it Better (KiB), a charity working to reduce isolation
in the elderly through intergenerational friendships. Fraser is making her way around the room with a trolley of
assorted old treasures. A faded Beatrix Potter hardback, Jackie magazine and biography of Lord Mountbatten are
piled on top of one another. Fraser’s team of volunteers prepared the items as recollection is thought to be a powerful
tool for striking up much-needed conversation in the elderly.
Anna Giannotti, 63, an art psychotherapist who is paid for a few hours a week by KiB, says, “Sometimes the
elderly are hesitant to get involved, but often when they do get involved, they just become their complete selves. I
feel very humbled. It could be any of us in the future.”
The youngest volunteer of the day, Mariella Hafalla, 16, finds the frankness of the older generation refreshing.
“I really enjoyed the session where we talked about what the residents did when they were younger,” she says. “I
found out how people used to go outside all of the time but now we are all online so it has helped me realize the
importance of going outside.”
1.What brings Jeanette Hodes back to her youth?
A.Buying a Sindy doll. B.Learning double dutch.
C.Listening to Ted’s songs. D.Playing with a cat’s cradle.
2.Why does Fraser go around the room with the trolley?
A.To offer topics that may encourage interaction.B.To check whether the elderly can recall the past.
C.To collect personal belongings from the residents.
D.To show volunteers how to interact with old people.
3.What is Anna Giannotti’s attitude towards the elderly?
A.Curious. B.Grateful. C.Empathetic. D.Protective.
4.Which phrase most closely reflects KiB’s approach?
A.Activity over talk. B.Memory as a bridge.
C.Service with a smile. D.Care through exercise.

Passage 2(2026·重庆九龙坡·二模)
Seventy-year-old Sumiel faced a hard battle with kidney (肾脏) failure. For years, he depended on exhausting
dialysis (透析) treatments. In October 2020, the tube for his kidney treatment suddenly got blocked twice in one day.
This meant he had to make another exhausting 60-mile trip to a New Jersey clinic for blood problems. With no family
available to drive him home after the procedure, the tired man booked an Uber.
Timothy Letts, a 31-year-old soldier on his way to visit friends, received the ride request. Though it was out
of his way, he accepted, thinking, “Someone from a medical facility might need assistance more.” During the 70-
minute drive to Salem, Letts noticed Sumiel’s tiredness but also his unbending spirit. They talked warmly: Sumiel
shared his past community service as a city council president and his current struggles, revealing his desperate search
for a kidney donor. Letts — a non-smoker and non-drinker — lightheartedly remarked, “I might be a good candidate.”
Sumiel laughed in agreement, unaware the idea had taken root in Letts’s mind.
A quarter-mile from Sumiel’s home, Letts made a heartfelt offer: “I’d like to see if I can donate my kidney to
you.” Trembling with shock, Sumiel could hardly write his name as they exchanged contacts. Inside his house, he
exclaimed to his wife, “The Uber driver just offered me his kidney!” Initial excitement soon gave way to doubt —
Was this a short-lived gesture? What were the chances of compatibility (匹配)?
Letts removed all uncertainties. Within hours, he contacted Sumiel, and by the next week, initiated transplant
procedures. After months of checks — interviews, medical reviews, meetings, and tests — results confirmed Letts as
an ideal donor with perfect compatibility. On December 7,2021, exactly 14 months after their chance encounter,
successful transplant surgeries freed Sumiel from dialysis. Sumiel remains deeply grateful for Letts’s gift of life.
5.What do we know about Sumiel?
A.His kidney got blocked twice a day.
B.He lived near the New Jersey clinic.
C.His family drove him to all treatments.
D.He suffered from severe kidney failure.
6.Why did Timothy Letts accept Sumiel’s Uber request?
A.He sensed potential need for help.
B.He intended to help a kidney patient.
C.He thought it was on his planned route.
D.He wanted to help the lonely passenger.
7.How did Sumiel feel soon after talking to his wife?

C.Regular dialysis is still needed for Sumiel.
D.Letts needed financial reward for donation.

Passage 3
(2026·四川内江·二模)
I had to run another phone marathon the other day. Most of you have probably had to do the same at some
point in your lives. This one started when I got a bill in the mail with a mistake on it. I knew what getting on the
phone to straighten it out would mean but it had to be done. I started by calling the help number on the bill. This led
me to the automated phone system with the endless list of options that I had to work through one at a time. Finally I
was able to transfer to a person only to be sent overseas with noise on the line and a hard-to-understand operator. And
of course they couldn’t help me so I got transferred from department to department while I ground my teeth and
tightened my fist. I was about to give up and hang up the phone in frustration when I finally got transferred back to
a manager in this country.
The line suddenly sounded crisp, clear, and free of noise. And the voice that answered was cheerful. I could
actually hear the smile in her voice too. She was polite, understanding, caring and helped me to clear up the mistake.
When we were done I thanked her for her help and wished her a wonderful day. She replied in kind. I hung up tired
from my marathon but curiously refreshed as well.
I have no ill feelings towards the other operators I spoke to. They were only doing their jobs as best they
could. I am grateful, though, that I stayed on the line long enough — despite all the frustration — to make a connection
with a person so full of goodness, joyfulness, and love.
9.What does the writer want to stress by using the word “marathon” in paragraph 1?
A.Physical demands. B.The call conditions.
C.Repeated experiences. D.The struggle involved.
10.How did the writer feel during most of the calls?
A.Angry. B.Calm. C.Hopeful. D.Confused.
11.What made the writer feel curiously refreshed?
A.A cheerful greeting. B.The clear phone line.
C.Fast problem solutions. D.Warm human kindness.
12.What is the writer’s main purpose?
A.To explain a billing mistake. B.To share a lesson in patience.
C.To introduce a helpful manager. D.To complain about phone service.

teeth and tightened my fist.(这场马拉松始于一封邮寄来的账单,上面有一个错误。我知道打电话去解决问题
意味着要经历什么,但这件事必须处理。我先拨打了账单上的客服电话。这通电话把我引向了自动语音应
答系统,面对一长串选项,我不得不一个个地按下去。终于,我被转接给了人工客服,可电话却被转接到
了国外,线路里噪音不断,客服人员的口音也让人难以听懂。当然,他们根本帮不了我,于是我就在咬牙
切齿、攥紧拳头的状态下,被一个部门转接至另一个部门。)”可知,作者拨打客服电话过程漫长、曲折、
令人煎熬,用“marathon”强调其中的艰难与费力。故选D。
10.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“And of course they couldn’t help me so I got transferred from department to
department while I ground my teeth and tightened my fist. I was about to give up and hang up the phone in frustration
when I finally got transferred back to a manager in this country.(当然,他们根本帮不了我,于是我就在咬牙切
齿、攥紧拳头的状态下,被一个部门转接至另一个部门。就在我即将放弃、沮丧地想要挂电话时,电话终
于被转回了本国的一位经理那里。)”可知,作者在大部分通话过程中感到愤怒、沮丧。故选A。
11.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The line suddenly sounded crisp, clear, and free of noise. And the voice that
answered was cheerful. I could actually hear the smile in her voice too. She was polite, understanding, caring and
helped me to clear up the mistake. When we were done I thanked her for her help and wished her a wonderful day.
She replied in kind. I hung up tired from my marathon but curiously refreshed as well.(电话那头的声音突然变得

Passage1
(2026·四川德阳·二模)
For years, Maya was buried in textbooks and lab reports as a serious pre-med student by day. By night, she
was a passionate violinist, losing herself in the complex concertos. Her parents saw music as a “beautiful hobby,” but
medicine as a “serious career”. The unspoken rule was clear: one day, the violin case would close for good to make
room for a medical doctorate.
Her perspective changed in a neurology class. The professor showed how complex music lights up vast
networks in the brain, connecting sound with emotion, memory, and movement. “A musician’s brain is physically
rewired by practice,” he said. Maya wondered aloud: “Could that rewiring help heal injured brains?”
Driven by this idea, she began playing her violin for patients at a stroke recovery clinic. Originally, it was only
for comfort. But she observed small miracles: a man who couldn’t speak could hum (哼唱) a tune; another with
limited movement tapped rhythms.
Her key moment involved Mr. O’Donnell, a former dockworker who disliked classical music and was stuck
in his recovery. With a sudden inspiration, Maya played a simple Irish folk song. To everyone’s astonishment, his
paralyzed foot began to tap the beat — his first voluntary movement in months. The music seemed to activate a new
pathway in his damaged brain.
After she shared this discovery, Maya was introduced to her university’s “Arts & Medicine” program. She met
others using dance to help Parkinson’s patients and drama to ease social anxiety.
No longer forced to choose between medicine and music, Maya now leads a student group called “Neural
Notes”. They partner musicians with patients, studying how rhythm can scientifically aid recovery. For Maya, her
violin is no longer just for concerts — it has become a tool for healing, proving that sometimes the best medicine is
not found in a textbook, but in a song.
1.What did Maya’s parents think of music?
A.A future profession. B.A personal interest.
C.A waste of potential. D.A means of livelihood.
2.Why did Maya initially start playing at the clinic?
A.To practice for her future musical career.
B.To conduct a formal research experiment.C.To meet her neurology professor’s request.
D.To provide emotional support for patients.
3.What message does Maya’s story convey?
A.Traditional medicine loses out to art. B.Two separate paths strike a balance.
C.Artistic passion gains one’s reputation. D.Parental ideas shape children’s future.
4.Which of the following can best describe Maya?
A.Passionate and innovative. B.Generous and energetic.
C.Stubborn and ambitious. D.Talented and patient.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了医学生Maya如何将音乐与医学相结合,通过演奏小提琴帮
助中风康复患者,最终创立了Neural Notes学生组织,证明了艺术在治疗中的科学价值。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Her parents saw music as a “beautiful hobby,” but medicine as a “serious career”.
(她的父母认为音乐是一种“美好的爱好”,而医学则被视为“一份严肃的职业”)”可知,Maya的父母认
为音乐只是一种个人兴趣爱好,而非正经职业。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Driven by this idea, she began playing her violin for patients at a stroke recovery
clinic. Originally, it was only for comfort.(受这一想法的驱使,她开始在一家中风康复诊所为患者演奏小提
琴。起初,这样做只是出于一种安慰的意愿)”可知,Maya最初在诊所演奏小提琴是为了给患者提供情感支
持和安慰。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“No longer forced to choose between medicine and music, Maya now leads a
student group called “Neural Notes”.(不再需要在医学和音乐之间做出选择的玛雅,如今带领着一个名为
“Neural Notes”的学生团体)”以及全文内容可推知,Maya的故事传达了将医学与音乐这两条看似不同的道
路结合起来、达到平衡的信息。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据第三段“Driven by this idea, she began playing her violin for patients at a stroke recovery
clinic. Originally, it was only for comfort.(受这一想法的驱使,她开始在一家中风康复诊所为患者演奏小提
琴。起初,这样做只是出于一种安慰的意愿)”以及第四段“With a sudden inspiration, Maya played a simple
Irish folk song.(受到突然启发,Maya演奏了一首简单的爱尔兰民歌)”可推知,Maya既有对音乐和医学的热
情(passionate),又能将两者创新性地结合(innovative)。故选A。
Passage 2
(2026·内蒙古·二模)
It was a warm spring day when Alaqua Cox got the text.She was floating on a raft in a lake near her home in Wisconsin. A friend had sent her a social media post. It
said Marvel was looking for a deaf Indigenous woman in her 20s. That woman would play a superhero named Maya
Lopez in a new TV series, Hawkeye.
Alaqua was all those things Marvel was looking for: She’s deaf. She’s Indigenous. She’s a woman in her 20s.
But she wasn’t an actress. Plus, the character wasn’t an amputee like Alaqua, who has had her right leg removed. So
at first, Alaqua laughed it off. But then two more friends sent her the same post. After that, something changed. “Let’s
go for it,” she remembers thinking. “Why not?”
Alaqua never dreamed of being famous. She grew up on a Menominee Indian Reservation with her three
siblings. But she was the only deaf student in her middle school. People had to translate things into American Sign
Language (ASL) for her. They weren’t always the best at it, though. “I was very shy and isolated as a kid,” she says.
And Alaqua definitely didn’t see many people who looked like her on TV. Most of the Indigenous characters she saw
were played by non-Indigenous actors. There weren’t many deaf or disabled actors either.
Alaqua didn’t think she would be the one to change that. But after three months of tryouts, she got a call. The
part was hers! Not only would Maya Lopez be the first deaf Indigenous superhero — she would be an amputee too.
That felt important to Alaqua. “It shows other people with disabilities that they can do anything,” she says.
Alaqua’s experience in school helped her know what she needed to succeed on Hawkeye. She asked for deaf
acting coaches and trainers. She also suggested that the cast and crew take ASL classes. When she arrived on set,
people were able to greet her in ASL. “That meant so much to me,” she says.
Alaqua will never forget being that shy middle schooler. When asked what she would tell her younger self, she
doesn’t think twice. “You are perfect the way you are,” she says.
5.What made Alaqua Cox decide to try for the role at first?
A.Her rich acting experience.
B.The encouragement from her friends.
C.Her dream of becoming a superhero.
D.The invitation from the film team directly.
6.Which of the following best describes Alaqua Cox as a kid?
A.Sociable and optimistic. B.Lonely and unconfident.
C.Ambitious and independent. D.Talkative and energetic.
7.What did Alaqua Cox do to make sure she succeeded on the set?
A.She taught ASL to the cast and crew.
B.She refused to work with non-disabled actors.C.She changed the whole story of the TV series Hawkeye.
D.She asked for professional help and better communication.
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.The development of American Sign Language
B.The Way to become an independent amputee
C.The birth of a Marvel superhero with a disability
D.The popularity of the Marvel TV series Hawkeye
【答案】5.B 6.B 7.D 8.C
【难度】0.75
【导语】主要讲述残疾失聪的原住民女性阿拉夸·考克斯,在朋友鼓励下参与试镜,成功饰演漫威残疾超级
英雄,传递励志价值。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So at first, Alaqua laughed it off. But then two more friends sent her the same
post. After that, something changed. “Let’s go for it,” she remembers thinking.(起初阿拉夸对此一笑置之,后来
又有两位朋友给她发来同一条招募动态。在那之后,有一些变化发生了。“那就行动吧。”她回忆当时的
想法说道)”可知,多位朋友的转发与鼓励,促使她下定决心参与角色试镜。
6.细节理解题。根据第四段中的““I was very shy and isolated as a kid,” she says.(她说:“我小时候十分害
羞,常常孤立独处。”)”可知,阿拉夸儿时性格孤僻内向,孤独且缺乏自信。
7.细节理解题。根据第六段中的“She asked for deaf acting coaches and trainers. She also suggested that the
cast and crew take ASL classes.(她主动要求配备失聪的表演教练与专业培训人员。她还提议全体剧组人员上
美式手语课程)”可知,她通过寻求专业帮助、优化沟通方式,保障拍摄工作顺利开展。
8.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第五段中的“Not only would Maya Lopez be the first deaf Indigenous
superhero — she would be an amputee too. That felt important to Alaqua.(玛娅·洛佩兹不仅是首位失聪的原住民
超级英雄,同时也是一名截肢者,这一角色塑造对阿拉夸而言意义重大。)”可知,文章先介绍阿拉夸的成
长经历与试镜契机,再讲述她克服自身缺陷、用心诠释角色的过程,展现出首位漫威残疾超级英雄的诞生
与背后的励志内涵,因此“The birth of a Marvel superhero with a disability(一名身患残疾的漫威超级英雄的
诞生)”最能概括全文核心内容,适合作为最佳标题。
Passage 3
(2026·重庆九龙坡·二模)
When people think of Eric Liddell, the “Flying Scotsman,” they recall his stunning 400-meter gold medal
victory at the 1924 Paris Olympics, a story immortalized in the film Chariots of Fire and a win that made him abeloved hero in Scotland. Yet, the most remarkable and inspiring chapters of his life unfolded far from the racing
track, in the war-torn land of China where he first saw the light of day.
After his Olympic triumph, Liddell turned down all lucrative sports offers in Europe and chose to return to
Tianjin, China, where he was born, to work as a teacher. The initial years were quite challenging, as he spent much
time learning Chinese and adapting to a totally different life and local customs. However, the true test of his faith and
courage came with the outbreak of the full-scale war in 1937 across the country.
While many foreign nationals evacuated China for their own safety, Liddell firmly stayed. He ventured deep
into the Hebei countryside, teaching local children and delivering medicine to displaced and injured civilians. To
bypass strict Japanese checkpoints with relief funds for the needy, he resorted to great ingenuity, hollowing out a
French loaf, stuffing money inside, and carrying it as a pretend lunch every time.
In 1943, Liddell was captured and interned by the Japanese army in the Weixian concentration camp (now
Weifang, Shandong). Life behind barbed wire was extremely harsh, with scarce food and no proper supplies, but he
soon became “Uncle Li” to all the camp’s children. With no textbooks or stationery, he patiently taught them science
and other subjects using hand-written notes on scrap paper he collected.
One such meticulously handwritten chemistry notebook survives to this day, a precious testament to his
unwavering dedication to education. Sadly, he never lived to see the country’s liberation. In February 1945, at the
young age of 43, Eric Liddell died of a brain tumor in the camp. His story, however, has never faded away. A memorial
stone in Weifang, made from granite of his Scottish homeland, stands in his honor, and it is visited by many each
year. As his daughter once said, her father deeply loved China and its people, and his spirit of self-sacrifice continues to
inspire countless people across the world.
9.What did Liddell do after the Olympic victory?
A.Taught in his Chinese birthplace B.Accepted sports offers in Europe
C.Lived as a hero in his hometown D.Learned Chinese in Tianjin alone
10.How did Liddell take funds through checkpoints?
A.Hired local guides for help B.Hid money in a French loaf
C.Crossed with foreign nationals D.Used scrap paper to wrap cash
11.What does the handwritten notebook represent?
A.Scarce camp supplies B.Children’s love for learning
C.Liddell’s devotion in hardship D.A precious historical monument
12.What message does Liddell’s story convey?
A.Olympic glory lasts foreverB.Adversity reveals true character
C.Cross-cultural bond inspires courage
D.True heroism lies in dedication
【答案】9.A 10.B 11.C 12.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了奥运冠军“苏格兰飞人”埃里克·利德尔在获得奥运金牌后,放弃欧
洲优厚的体育邀约,回到出生地中国天津任教,在战争期间坚守中国、救助平民、在集中营坚持教育孩子
的感人事迹,展现了他无私奉献的崇高精神。
9.细节理解题。根据第二段“After his Olympic triumph, Liddell turned down all lucrative sports offers in Europe
and chose to return to Tianjin, China, where he was born, to work as a teacher. (奥运夺冠后,利德尔拒绝了欧洲
所有报酬丰厚的体育邀约,选择回到他的出生地中国天津担任教师。)”可知,利德尔奥运夺冠后回到他的
出生地中国教学。故选A。
10.细节理解题。根据第三段“To bypass strict Japanese checkpoints with relief funds for the needy, he resorted

假装午餐带着。)”可知,利德尔把钱藏在法式面包里通过检查站。故选B。
11.细节理解题。根据第五段“One such meticulously handwritten chemistry notebook survives to this day, a

Passage 1
(2026·辽宁鞍山·二模)
A young artist sketching in remote grasslands met a wounded wolf cub, and did not expect that this incident had
rewritten her fate. The story took place in April 2010. When she came to the Ruoerge Grassland in search of creative
inspiration, something unexpected happened.At that time, Li Weiyi happened to hear the story of the wolf king from the mouths of the herders (牧民). The
she-wolf had just given birth to a litter of wolf cubs, and the wolf king ran out to hunt for her, but unfortunately
mistakenly fell into the herders’ trap and was eventually killed. The she-wolf was fatally poisoned and died as well.
Li Weiyi has a special affection for wild animals. She tracked down the orphaned cub, adopted it, named it
Green and brought it back to Chengdu to look after. Li deliberately retained the characteristics of Green, usually
feeding it live animals, and cultivating its hunting skills. But a bustling city is not an ideal place for a wild wolf to
thrive, so Li returned to the plains to follow the trails of the wolves. Li took three steps, placing Green first among
Tibetan Mastiffs, then into the wild and then into the wolf pack. All along, she acted with the wolf and trained it like a
mother wolf. After a winter of trying, Green successfully returned to its wolf pack.
In order to save the northwest wolves like Green and arouse people’s attention and protection of wild animals,
Li Weiyi turned her story into the book Let Me Accompany You Back to the Wolves, and later made the videos she
had shot for Green into documentaries named Back to the Wolf Pack. In 2020, China’s first wild wolf reserve was
established — a small but hopeful echo of Li Weiyi’s ten years of dedication.
The story of Li Weiyi and Green has refreshed our view of wolves. She has proved that wild animals and
humans can live in harmony.
1.What did Li Weiyi gain unexpectedly?
A.A vivid story outline. B.A source of inspiration.
C.A new purpose in life. D.A better painting skill.
2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The poor living conditions of herders.
B.The loyal love between the wolf couple.
C.The background story of Green’s adoption.
D.The courageous and tough image of wolves.
3.What does the underlined word “retained” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Used. B.Kept. C.Removed. D.Adjusted.
4.How did Li Weiyi influence others to protect wild animals?
A.She fed Green in Chengdu. B.She set up a wolf zoo.
C.She tracked packs of wolves. D.She used films as a medium.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.B 4.D

想到这件事改写了她的命运。)”以及后文她救助狼崽、投身野生动物保护的经历可知,这次意外相遇让她
获得了新的人生目标。故选C项。
2.主旨大意题。根据第二段“At that time, Li Weiyi happened to hear the story of the wolf king from the mouths
of the herders. The she-wolf had just given birth to a litter of wolf cubs, and the wolf king ran out to hunt for her, but
unfortunately mistakenly fell into the herders’ trap and was eventually killed. The she-wolf was fatally poisoned and
died as well.(那时,李微漪从牧民口中偶然听到了狼王的故事。母狼刚生下一窝狼崽,狼王出去为它捕猎,
不幸误入牧民的陷阱,最终被杀死。母狼也中毒身亡。)”可知,第二段主要讲述了狼崽格林被收养的背景
故事。故选C项。
3.词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文的内容“usually feeding it live animals, and cultivating its hunting skills.

Passage 2
(2026·四川·二模)
Back in 2003, Erica Hernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. They overheard a plan
to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of
air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater
per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding
ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small
fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.
Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas
company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the
powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing wecould do.”
Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the
town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show
people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of
the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards
telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He
turned down the project. Erica and her friends won!
As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so
she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when
they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César
Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.”
5.What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station?
A.It is climate-damaging. B.It is ecologically-unfriendly.
C.It provides energy to the locals. D.It uses seawater-driven generators.
6.Why does the author mention the governor?
A.To express Erica’s desperate mood. B.To show the great barriers Erica faced.
C.To stress the support from the government. D.To blame the protest on the official’s inaction.
7.Which of the following can best describe Erica?
A.Creative and industrious. B.Pioneering and curious.
C.Determined and responsible. D.Adventurous and talkative.
8.What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story?
A.Courage is always rewarded in the end.
B.Success depends on teamwork and cooperation.
C.Young people can bring about change by speaking up.
D.Environmental protection should come before economic development.
【答案】5.B 6.B 7.C 8.C

Passage 3
(2026·云南·二诊)
Most of you are probably familiar with various stories of searching for alien life, but have you heard about
the scientist who was responsible for detecting the first traces of intelligent life lurking throughout our galaxy? This
is Frank Drake’s story.
At the age of 8, his father one day told Drake there are other worlds in space, which astounded him. He had
no idea that such a thing was a possibility — he thought Earth was it. So he wondered, what are they like? Are the
people the same as us? Do they look the same way we do? What’s their planet like? And of course, at that time, there
was no way that those questions could be answered in the slightest.
Later on, when he was in college, he chose the elementary astronomy course. In the course, he went to the
campus observatory, and one of the things he observed was the planet Jupiter. Even through a small telescope, it was
just very clear that it was another world but not a picture in a book or something, which made Drake deeply
absorbed.
Frank Drake is mostly known for developing the Drake equation (德雷克方程式), which is a mathematical
equation developed to estimate the number of detectable alien civilizations in the Milky Way.
People always say that the search for alien life has failed. “You’ve been searching for 60 years and you haven’t
found anything. So doesn’t that say that intelligent life is very rare?” “That’s wrong, because the amount of searchingwe’ve done has hardly touched the number of possibilities that are out there. We’ve only covered a tiny, tiny fraction of
all the possibilities,” Drake said. “When you spend your entire life on the things you love, you live a better life than
most people,” he added.
9.What does the underlined word “astounded” probably mean?
A.Astonished. B.Moved. C.Discouraged. D.Confused.
10.What aroused Drake’s greater interest in astronomy during college?
A.His observation of intelligent life in space.
B.His firsthand view of Jupiter through a telescope.
C.His teaching experience in elementary astronomy class.
D.His achievement in creating the famous Drake equation.
11.What is Drake’s attitude toward the alien searching work?
A.It is a total failure. B.There are various benefits.
C.It is too expensive. D.There are many possibilities.
12.Which of the following words can best describe Drake?
A.Gifted and hardworking. B.Inquiring and brave.
C.Passionate and persevering. D.Inventive and sharp-minded.
【答案】9.A 10.B 11.D 12.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述弗兰克・德雷克受父亲启发,痴迷天文学,提出德雷克方程式,一生
执着探索外星生命,坚信探索仍有诸多可能性。
9.词句猜测题。根据第二段“At the age of 8, his father one day told Drake there are other worlds in space, which
astounded him. He had no idea that such a thing was a possibility — he thought Earth was it.(8 岁时,父亲告诉德
雷克太空中还有其他星球,这让他astounded。他从没想过会有这种可能,一直以为地球就是唯一的世
界。)”可知,弗兰克・德雷克从没想过除地球以外还有其他星球,所以猜测 astounded意为“震惊的”。故
选A项。
10.细节理解题。根据第三段“In the course, he went to the campus observatory, and one of the things he observed
was the planet Jupiter. Even through a small telescope, it was just very clear that it was another world but not a picture
in a book or something, which made Drake deeply absorbed.(在这门课上,他去了校园天文台,观测到的天体
之一是木星。即便通过小型望远镜,也能清晰地看到那是另一个真实的星球,而非书本上的图片,这让德
雷克深深着迷。)”可知,大学时望远镜里亲眼见到木星激发了他对天文学的浓厚兴趣。故选B项。
11.推理判断题。根据第五段“That’s wrong, because the amount of searching we’ve done has hardly touchedthe number of possibilities that are out there. We’ve only covered a tiny, tiny fraction of all the possibilities,(这种
观点是错误的,因为我们迄今所做的搜寻工作,几乎还没有触及宇宙中存在的可能性总量。我们仅仅探索
了所有可能性中极其微小的一部分,)”可知,德雷克认为外星生命探索仍存在诸多可能性。故选D项。

Passage 4
(2026·四川达州·二模)
Farmers like Anthony and Juan Gabriel are celebrated examples of ordinary folk who believe you can do
anything you set your mind on.
The two brothers are the fourth generation from a 130-year-old family farm in Andalusia, Spain. When they
took over the farm in 2005, the challenge they faced was common for most olive (橄榄) growers: they couldn’t sell
their olive oil at its true price.
As with wine, factors like organic or conventional, temperature and rainfall, regional differences, and the type
of harvesting and extraction process, all have a huge effect on taste and aromas (香气). Olive oil producers, by
contrast, can’t sell their story or try to differentiate like, for example, winemakers. It is a missed opportunity if you
don’t learn how to communicate this to potential customers.
Anthony and Juan choose to differentiate, advocating that “great taste is a result of working together with
nature”. They promote techniques that benefit biodiversity. They apply advanced techniques to restore the soil, which
in return produces the perfect fruit.
Great taste is an easily made claim if you don’t have a certificate to prove it. So the brothers entered independent
taste awards to back it up. In the last four years, they have been awarded by different international olive oil
competitions, which have placed their product as one of the best organic olive oils in the world. Now, they are looking
into Demeter and Bio Suisse, two leading organic farming certification standards, to make their oil stand out from
the crowd in a more permanent way.
The brothers sell their olive oil to stores and directly to consumers through their website. With a good product
and a unique story, 35% of their sales now come from repeat customers. This allows them to grow their business at
a steady pace. Anthony’s passion is confirmed once again when he tells the story of a loyal customer who hides the
olive oil from her husband and says, “It’s too good to share.”
13.What does the underlined word “story” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Why the olive oil is produced. B.Where the olive oil originates.
C.What makes the olive oil special. D.How customers like the olive oil.
14.Why do the Gabriel brothers use advanced techniques?
A.To keep costs down. B.To produce more oil.
C.To grow various olives. D.To practice sustainable farming.
15.How do the brothers make their olive oil’s quality convincing?
A.By defining olive oil standards. B.By having it officially confirmed.
C.By switching to organic farming. D.By expanding their business rapidly.
16.What does the last paragraph suggest about the brothers’ olive oil?
A.It finally recovers the costs.
B.It beats other olive oil brands.
C.Differentiation helps it make a name.
D.The consumer demand is hard to meet.
【答案】13.C 14.D 15.B 16.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了西班牙一对兄弟接手家族橄榄农场后,通过坚持可持续种植、依靠权
威认证证明品质、打造独特品牌故事,让自家橄榄油脱颖而出并深受消费者喜爱的故事。
13.词句猜测题。根据第三段“As with wine, factors like organic or conventional, temperature and rainfall,
regional differences, and the type of harvesting and extraction process, all have a huge effect on taste and aromas.
Olive oil producers, by contrast, can’t sell their story or try to differentiate like, for example, winemakers.(和葡萄
酒一样,有机或常规种植、温度与降雨、地域差异、采摘和压榨方式等因素都会对口感和香气产生巨大影

术改良土壤,进而培育出优质果实)”可知,兄弟二人使用先进技术是为了践行可持续农业。故选D。
15.细节理解题。根据第五段“Great taste is an easily made claim if you don’t have a certificate to prove it. So
the brothers entered independent taste awards to back it up. In the last four years, they have been awarded by different
international olive oil competitions.(如果没有证书证明,口感好只是一句空话。因此兄弟俩参加各类独立品鉴
赛事以证实品质,过去四年他们多次斩获国际橄榄油大赛奖项)”可知,他们通过官方认证让橄榄油品质更
具说服力。故选B。16.推理判断题。根据最后一段“With a good product and a unique story, 35% of their sales now come from
repeat customers.(凭借优质产品和独特品质,他们35%的销售额来自回头客)”以及顾客对产品的高度认可可

主题01 人与自我——做人与做事
Passage 1
(2026·黑龙江哈尔滨·二模)
I used to constantly overshare so much that “addicted oversharer” became one of my blog tags. Ask me how
I was doing, and I’d tell you everything in detail. Then I got therapy. Over time, I learned to share much less, but I
still open up quite a lot. At least now I learned the difference between mentioning my marriage and airing all our
dirty laundry.
It turns out that most of us have been operating under a flawed assumption about openness. “We’ve been
warned not to overshare, but the bigger risk is often undersharing,” says Leslie John, PhD, a professor at Harvard
Business School. “When we reveal something real — like something slightly imperfect — we signal trust. And trust
invites trust back. That’s how relationships deepen.”
People assume revealing something vulnerable (脆弱的), like admitting “I get nervous before big presentations”,
will ruin their reputation. Yet it almost never does. Instead, small, authentic admissions tend to increase trust without
reducing how competent someone appears. What feels risky in the moment often builds connection in the long run.
In one of John’s studies, nearly 90% of people said they’d rather hire a job candidate who admitted failing an exam
than one who covered up their grades.
Of course, there are drawbacks. When oversharing crosses into poor timing, one-sided monologues or a
complete failure to consider context, people understandably feel uncomfortable. John figures that the oversharer is
quite likely to lie awake at 2 a.m. and kick himself for having said too much. But even here, she has found the bright
side: Although oversharing may be embarrassing, it can also win others’ admiration for his bravery in sharing, which
will lead to long-term trust that we often fail to notice.
“Revealing is a skill,” John says. “And like any skill, it improves with practice.” The goal isn’t to treat every
interaction like a confessional (忏悔). It’s to develop situational awareness that lets you open up in ways that actually
deepen connection. There’s no need to bare one’s soul all at once. Rather, let openness build gradually. For thoseholding back, John offers one final question to ask yourself: “What’s the price I’m already paying for not saying
this?”
1.What does the underlined phrase “airing all our dirty laundry” most probably mean?
A.Washing clothes in public. B.Making private family trouble public.
C.Hiding personal secrets. D.Asking for others’ advice.
2.What is Leslie John’s attitude towards undersharing?
A.Negative. B.Supportive. C.Doubtful. D.Indifferent.
3.What does the example of a job candidate show in paragraph 3?
A.Interviewers value honesty more than talent.
B.People tend to hide their mistakes for reputation.
C.Authentic admissions can make people less competitive.
D.Small and proper openness help build trust and connection.
4.Which of the following will the author agree with?
A.No pain, no gain. B.Modest sharing bonds people.
C.Still waters run deep. D.Loose lips sink ships.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.D 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨适度分享的重要性,分析过度分享与过少分享的影响,指出真诚适
度的开放能建立信任、加深人际关系。
1.词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Over time, I learned to share much less, but I still open up quite a lot. At least
now I learned the difference between mentioning my marriage and airing all our dirty laundry.(久而久之,我学会
了少分享一些,但依然会相当坦诚地表达自己。至少现在我明白了提及我的婚姻和 airing all our dirty
laundry之间的区别。)”可知,前文提到作者学会了少分享,区分了“提及婚姻”和“airing all our dirty
laundry”,二者形成对比,前者是正常谈论,后者应是公开不该外露的私人矛盾、负面家事,因此该短语
意为“把私人家庭矛盾公之于众”。故选B项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We’ve been warned not to overshare, but the bigger risk is often
undersharing.(我们一直被警告不要过度分享,但更大的风险往往是分享不足。)”可知,Leslie John对过少分
享持否定态度。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Instead, small, authentic admissions tend to increase trust without reducing
how competent someone appears. What feels risky in the moment often builds connection in the long run. In one of
John’s studies, nearly 90% of people said they’d rather hire a job candidate who admitted failing an exam than onewho covered up their grades. (相反,坦诚地承认一些小问题,往往能增进信任,同时又不会削弱一个人看起
来的能力。当下看似有风险的举动,从长远来看常常能拉近人与人之间的关系。在约翰的一项研究中,近
90%的人表示,他们更愿意雇用一名承认考试不及格的求职者,而不是隐瞒成绩的人。)”可知,该例子表
明微小恰当的坦诚有助于建立信任与联系。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的“When we reveal something real — like something slightly
imperfect — we signal trust. And trust invites trust back. That’s how relationships deepen.(当我们展露真实的一面
——比如有些不完美的地方——我们就传递出信任,而信任会换来信任,关系就是这样加深的。)”和第四
段“Although oversharing may be embarrassing, it can also win others’ admiration for his bravery in sharing, which
will lead to long-term trust that we often fail to notice.(虽然过度分享可能令人尴尬,但也会因分享的勇气赢得
他人赞赏,进而带来我们常忽略的长期信任。)”可知,作者认同适度分享能拉近人与人之间的关系。故选
B项。
Passage 2
(2026·新疆·二模)
Laurent Camprubi, a 62-year-old skilled sailor, was competing in the 4,077-mile Route du Rhum — a race
he considered “the Everest of sailing.” He had prepared for months, not only strengthening his core for the rough
seas but also getting his sailboat perfectly race-ready. About 15 miles off the coast of Spain, however, his voyage
turned into a life-threatening crisis. During a much-needed rest, a powerful wave struck his sailboat and destroyed
its keel (龙骨), the part for balance. Without it, the boat immediately rolled over completely.
Trapped inside the upside-down boat, Camprubi managed to turn on his emergency signal and struggle into
his bright red survival suit. The Spanish coast guard detected the SOS signal and launched a large-scale search,
involving rescue ships, helicopters, and rescue divers. However, poor weather, low visibility, and complicated sea
conditions forced the team to postpone the rescue until morning for safety reasons. Camprubi was left alone in the
freezing cabin, breathing in a small pocket of air as water rose to his chest.
Throughout the long night, he battled hypothermia (低温症), exhaustion, and moments of doubt, motivated
by thoughts of his family. On shore, his wife went through a painful wait after authorities informed her that his
survival chances were “practically zero.” At dawn, divers returned to secure the boat. To their astonishment, shouts
came from within the boat. After clearing a path, they opened the cabin door. Camprubi seized his only chance to
swim out and was pulled to safety by a waiting diver.
Hospitalized for severe exposure, his remarkable survival was credited to his preparedness, vital equipment,
and mental toughness. The rescue reveals both the sea’s merciless power and the profound strength of human willwhen pushed to the limit.
5.What caused the sailboat to turn over?
A.The enormous challenges of the race itself.
B.Lack of a complete inspection before the race.
C.The loss of a critical stabilizing part of the boat.
D.Exhausting sailing during the long-distance race.
6.Why was the rescue operation delayed until the next morning?
A.The comprehensive rescue plan was under discussion.
B.The SOS signal failed to determine the precise site.
C.The rescue team needed to ensure their safety first.
D.The awful environment made the rescue too risky.
7.Which words best describe Camprubi?
A.Persistent but stubborn. B.Courageous and innovative.
C.Determined and experienced. D.Adventurous but overconfident.
8.What does Camprubi’s experience show?
A.Fortune is the final captain in storms. B.The sea has its will, and man has his limits.
C.Survival favors the prepared. D.A handy tool makes a handy man.

Passage 3
(2026·内蒙古乌兰察布·二模)
Ruth Minhall’s pathway into education was untraditional. Owing to her ADHD (多动症) and difficulty in
reading and spelling, she was frequently misunderstood and underestimated. Teachers criticized her unusual way of
thinking, and her confidence as a student decreased. However, Ruth didn’t give up. Instead, she developed strategies to
succeed, such as reading her work aloud to improve grammar and flow, which contributed to her exam success.
These experiences convinced her that barriers can become stepping stones to growth. That belief continues to
guide her leadership today and inspires the philosophy behind Tuition Extra: learning should be adaptable, solution-
focused, and centered on individual strengths.
As an adult, Ruth once worked internationally as a singer and recording artist, pursued journalism, and finally
became a teacher at Borden Grammar School in Sittingbourne. Just in the classroom, she discovered her ability to
connect with students at risk of exclusion (排斥).
Although Ruth enjoyed teaching, she realized that traditional routes within education weren’t economically
sustainable for her as a single mother. So she created a part-time tutoring business that would later grow into Tuition
Extra Group. Rapidly, parents and schools recognized Ruth’s unique solution-focused approach, which prioritized
addressing unmet needs rather than punishing troubled behaviors. The impact wasn’t limited to academic achievement.
Students also gained confidence and a renewed sense of belonging.
In 2013, Ruth decided to devote herself fully to the business. Today, Tuition Extra is a dynamic organization
combining education with vocational (职业的) opportunities. It supports children and young adults aged 4-25 who
might otherwise struggle to succeed in mainstream education.
For Ruth, leadership is about taking responsibility and continuously learning. She describes failure not asweakness but as growth. Students, staff, and leaders alike are encouraged to see mistakes as opportunities for learning.
Her organization stands as proof that every child, regardless of their challenges, has the potential to succeed when
educated with love and creativity.
9.What can be inferred about Ruth’s early school years?
A.They were shaped by a variety of challenges.B.They were filled with regular celebrations.
C.They prevented her identifying her later path. D.They exposed her to an inspiring campus culture.
10.What is implied about Ruth in paragraph 3?
A.Her philosophy kept developing. B.Her talent for art was recognized.
C.Her career was equally diverse. D.Her devotion to education was touching.
11.What mainly motivated Ruth to start her tutoring business?
A.Requests from numerous parents. B.Her financial needs and personal insight.
C.Her ambition to transform education. D.Encouragement from school leaders.
12.What is probably Ruth’s teaching philosophy?
A.One-size-fits-all teaching should be prioritized.
B.Community-driven approaches bring fast success.
C.Tailored education is about fitting in.
D.All children deserve the opportunity to grow.

Passage 4
(2026·四川攀枝花·二模)
When she was 61, Sian Davies decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean. In March 2021, she was one of the
12 crew members who set out on the 3,000-mile journey from Tenerife to battle sun, salt and fierce currents. “We
would take turns rowing in three-hour interval and only sleep for an hour or so every six hours,” she says. “For the
first 15 days, I was seasick, so I hardly ate anything. I was just rowing and collapsing. I went through some pretty
dark times.”
But after 42 days on the water, Davies reached Antigua to become one of the only six women in the world over
the age of 60 to have rowed across an ocean. “I was totally worn out and I was also so proud of myself,” she says.
Davies began rowing when she was 53, after spotting a six-oar rowing boat in Bristol harbor. Attracted by its
size and appearance, she spoke to the crew and was encouraged to do a trial run. “Barely had I got on the water when I
knew I’d never get enough of it,” she says. “Feeling your whole body working and the fresh air on your skin is
amazing.”
It wasn’t until 2017, though, that her Atlantic plans were born. Suffering from a herniated disc, she was only
able to drag herself out of bed. “I began thinking of things I could look forward to after I had surgery,” she recalls.
“One day I was reading about women adventurers when it hit me that once better, I would row across an ocean.”
After successful surgery, Davies began driving to meet other women who had undertaken rows. Hearing the
experiences and advice of them gave Davies the confidence. Soon after, she heard that a new boat producer was
organizing a team for a voyage across the Atlantic and she joined it immediately.
“In June, I’m planning to break a few world records by rowing around the UK when I’m 64, and I want to
motorcycle through the Himalayas later in the year. After all, we need things to look back on,” she says.
13.What do we know about Davies’ journey across the Atlantic?
A.She suffered a lot during the process.B.She only slept for an hour per day.
C.She was the oldest woman to finish it.
D.She finished the journey with six other elderly women.
14.How did Davies feel about her first attempt to row?
A.Amazed. B.Proud. C.Relieved. D.Impressed.
15.What inspired Davies to row across the Atlantic?
A.Some female explorers’ stories.
B.Sufferings from her serious disease.
C.A trial row on a six-oar rowing boat.
D.Experiences and advice from some women.
16.Which of the following best describes Davies?

Passage 5
(2026·山西太原·二模)
When I was a little girl, my mom often put me in front of the TV while she did housework. Watching Julia
Child from Julia & Company, whom I thought of as a babysitter, I absorbed the idea that the kitchen was a creative lab.
By six, mom trusted me with chopping boiled eggs and mixing up cookie dough. Over the years, The French Chef and
Good Eats filled my young brain with practical cooking skills and mom helped me put them into action.
Today when you turn on the TV, you will see that Food Network, once the flagship of cooking instructions,
has filled programs with competitions like Chopped with celebrity judges, presenting restaurant dishes as luxury
experiences that create a forbidding barrier to the kitchen — a far cry from early TV chefs’ pursuit of accessibility.
Product placements are built into the shows, turning cooking into a tool to chase ratings and make profits. Internet
influencers have filled that gap with their creations, though not all pass our taste tests. With AI advancing, some
influencers aren’t even humans. Their contents are just eye candy for shrinking attention spans.
Yet hands-on practices that build life satisfaction, and any deeper link formed through them, are typically
passed from one person to another. What I learned from The French Chef led me to the kitchen, but it was my momwho welcomed me to stand beside her at the counter, guiding me to chop vegetables and internalize many of her
recipes to the degree that I can make them taste exactly as she did. It keeps her present in my life nearly a decade
after she passed away.
The TV and Internet offer countless resources for mastering a skill, but my own experience is a vivid illustration
that real skills take root only through personal instruction — when someone, be it real or on the TV, guides us patiently
through small steps from an early age. Now, decades later, when friends ask why my sauces never break, I know it’s
those approachable, patient lessons from childhood living on in my hands.
17.What can be inferred about the author’s early life?
A.She learned to cook from a young age. B.She valued her babysitter Julia’s help.
C.She was addicted to watching TV shows.D.She was burdened with heavy housework.
18.How does the author find the current shows on Food Network?
A.Unprofessional. B.Commercialized. C.Instructive. D.Innovative.
19.What does “my sauces never break” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.I never mess up a dish. B.I never try new ingredients.
C.I never give up cooking. D.I never use mom’s recipes.
20.What message does the author want to convey?
A.Childhood memories shape career choices.
B.Hands-on guidance helps pass down skills.
C.Self-education is an essential part of learning.
D.Social media facilitate knowledge acquisition.

熟、做菜从不出错。画线短语my sauces never break应含有“做菜从不失手”之意,这与“I never mess up a
dish.”含义相同。
20.推理判断题。结合第三段中的“Yet hands-on practices that build life satisfaction, and any deeper link formed
through them, are typically passed from one person to another.(然而,那些能提升生活满意度的实践活动,以及
通过这些活动建立起来的更深层次的联系,通常是从一个人传递给另一个人的)”以及末段中的“The TV and
Internet offer countless resources for mastering a skill, but my own experience is a vivid illustration that real skills
take root only through personal instruction — when someone, be it real or on the TV, guides us patiently through
small steps from an early age.(电视和互联网为掌握一项技能提供了无数资源,但我自己的经历生动地表明,
真正的技能只有通过亲身指导才能生根发芽——当有人,无论是真人还是电视上的人,从小就耐心地一步
步引导我们时)”可知,作者想要传达的核心是实践指导有助于技能的传承。
主题02 人与自我——生活与学习
Passage 1
(2026·辽宁大连·二模)
For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer
vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent
of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and
slow.
The change began slightly, with the arrival of a young agronomist (农学家), Miss Li, from the county’s new
“Rural Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis
charts. My grandfather listened with a mixture of doubts and curiosity. Out of boredom, I was wandering around
when I found myself interested. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa,
and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark of curiosity lit up where there was once only
dullness.
One afternoon, a sudden storm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic surged through me — not for myself, but
for the vines we had nurtured. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path.For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friend. A fierce sense of protection,
mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I felt invested.
The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my
shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A pride, deep and solid,
settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The
vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my
own.
1.How did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyard?
A.As a valuable social practice. B.As a lesson on agricultural skills.
C.As a boring and unpleasant duty. D.As a relaxing escape from city noise.
2.What changed the author’s view of the vineyard?
A.Miss Li’s suggestion. B.His grandfather’s persuasion.
C.The new “Rural Revitalization” project. D.His involvement and contribution to the vineyard.
3.What does “canvas” in the last paragraph symbolize?
A.The freedom of modern urban life.
B.The transition between tradition and modernity.
C.A place to realize one’s personal potential and value.
D.A project to safeguard one’s original intention and dream.
4.What does the author’s experience show?
A.Family traditions are permanent and unchangeable.
B.True personal growth means understanding one’s roots.
C.Storms and difficulties are necessary for one’s growth.
D.Personal interest leads to success in rural revitalization.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者最初反感在祖父葡萄园度过的暑假,后来在农学家到来后,
通过亲身参与和运用现代知识帮助祖父,最终在葡萄园找到归属感和自我价值的故事。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a
forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp
contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside
feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow. (多年来,我一直把祖父的葡萄园看作是一条将我束缚在被遗忘的过去的锁链。每个暑假都像是一种煎熬。空气中弥漫着潮湿的泥土和农药的味道,与我城市生活中干净、数
字化的气息形成了鲜明对比。我数着日子,直到逃离的那一天,宁静的乡村感觉并不平静,而是空虚而缓
慢)”可知,作者最初认为在葡萄园的暑假是无聊且不愉快的。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段“Out of boredom, I was wandering around when I found myself interested. I began
translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to

自己很感兴趣。我开始把平板上的专业术语翻译成我们当地的方言给爷爷听,并向李小姐解释他几十年的
智慧。在曾经只有沉闷的地方,一股小小的好奇心点燃了)”、第三段“For the first time, I didn’t see technology
as an enemy of this place, but as its friend. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me
from within. I was no longer just an observer; I felt invested.(我第一次没有把技术视为这个地方的敌人,而是
把它视为朋友。一种强烈的保护感,夹杂着一种新的敬畏感,从内心温暖了我。我不再只是一个旁观者;
我觉得投入精力了)”以及第四段““This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A
pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but
about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I
had discovered my own. (“这次收获,”他说,声音里充满了感情,“上面有你的印记。”一种深沉而坚定
的自豪,扎根在我的胸膛里。我终于明白,我的成长不是要逃离这片土地,而是要丰富它。葡萄园不再是
我的锁链;它成了我的canvas。在帮助它重焕生机的过程中,我也发现了自己的根)”可知,作者从最初厌
恶葡萄园,到后来主动投入精力,因收获得到爷爷的认可而感到自豪,这一系列变化的核心在于作者亲身
参与并贡献了自己的力量。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段“I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about
enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had
discovered my own. (我终于明白,我的成长不是要逃离这片土地,而是要丰富它。葡萄园不再是我的锁链;
它成了我的画布。在帮助它重焕生机的过程中,我也发现了自己的根)”可知,作者通过参与葡萄园的工
作,发现了自己的价值和潜力,葡萄园不再是束缚他的“锁链”,而成为了他施展才能、实现个人成长和
价值的平台,所以“canvas”象征着实现个人潜力和价值的地方。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者从最初厌恶祖父的葡萄园,到后来通过参与乡村振兴项目、与农学家合
作,最终理解并珍视这片土地的心路历程。结尾处作者点明主旨:我终于明白,我的成长不在于逃离这片
土地,而在于丰富它。在帮助复兴它的根的过程中,我发现了自己的根。这表明作者的经历揭示了真正的
个人成长源于对自身根源的理解与认同。故选B。
Passage 2(2026·吉林·二模)
Travelling didn’t just expand my world; it lit a creative spark in me that I hadn’t known. Between airport coffee
and mountain sunsets, I started to write. At first, it was to remember the places, people and meals. But soon, the words
became more than memories: The careless and untidy writing turned into sentences, the sentences into stories. Writing
became a way to relive the magic and share it. Slowly, my confidence grew.
In 2023, as a 55-year-old woman, I decided to start a new journey, but this time, it did not involve travelling.
Instead, it was a journey of learning. I took the leap and applied for a BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative
Writing through Burnley College University Courses. It felt like stepping into the unknown. I told myself not to get
my hopes up. So, when that acceptance came through, the news felt too surreal to sink in at once — I was going to
university.
It wasn’t easy at first. I felt like a fish out of water on my first day. But now, I’ve found my rhythm. I’ve
rediscovered who I am and who I want to be. I’m shaping a future that is entirely my own, and I’m doing it with my
words. I am living in a world I never imagined I could be part of. I am developing my writing skills and embracing
this new creative journey.
And so, my journey continues — one that connects the joys of travel with the transforming power of learning.
While I am unsure of the destination, I know it will lead me to some extraordinary places. I look forward to the stories
yet to be written and the journeys yet to be taken.
If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: Stepping out of your comfort zone gets more rewarding with age.
My journey may have started with countries, but now it carries me to learning. And I can’t wait to see where life
takes me next.
5.Why did the author start writing?
A.To improve her self-confidence. B.To share her stories with others.
C.To refresh her previous memories. D.To record her travel experiences.
6.How did the author feel about being accepted by the university?
A.Curious. B.Peaceful. C.Surprised. D.Relieved.

地想看看生活接下来会把我带往何方)”以及文章描述了作者55岁仍重返校园、追求成长的经历,这表明了
年龄永远不会限制个人的成长与突破的道理。故选C。
Passage 3
(2026·吉林通化·二模)
Growing up, I disliked writing. It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in
the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disordered
thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with lots of corrections. I began to wonder if I wassimply not cut out for writing. And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything.
I focused instead on my love for math and science. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be
found if I searched methodically. In college, I studied engineering and joined a research lab to gain hands-on
experience. My first project was to improve the efficiency of a magnetic component. Despite initial disappointing
results, I continued through many designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was
delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper.
I knew that if I wanted to become a researcher, I would need to spend time penning papers. But I was scared of
failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We set a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an
outline. But when I asked him for feedback (反馈), I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that
red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several
times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?”
I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t
perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it. Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of
research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could
have imagined during my early struggles with essays.
9.Which of the following best describes the author’s initial attitude toward writing?
A.A walk in the park. B.A storm in a teacup.
C.A nut hard to break. D.A feather in one’s cap.
10.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “penning” in paragraph 3?
A.Collecting. B.Reviewing. C.Composing. D.Polishing.
11.What did the author learn from his writing and research?
A.Both require trial and error. B.Both need inspiration and teamwork.
C.Both are about following fixed rules. D.Both are stressful and time-consuming.
12.What is the author’s attitude toward writing now?
A.Bored. B.Uncaring. C.Ambiguous. D.Enthusiastic.
【答案】9.C 10.C 11.A 12.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,讲述作者从讨厌写作到在他人帮助下逐渐爱上写作的经历。作者通过科研与写
作的类比,领悟到写作需要反复修改,最终将写作变为研究中喜爱的部分。
9.推理判断。根据文章第一段“It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in
the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disorderedthoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with lots of corrections(那是我最不愿意做的事
情,也是我最初选择追求科学的原因之一。在高中时,我非常讨厌写论文。常常几个小时盯着空白的纸
张,试图把我杂乱无章的想法变成流畅的句子,而且我的论文上常常满是批改的痕迹)”可知,作者最初认
为写作困难重重,选项C“A nut hard to break(难啃的坚果)”表示的含义符合语境,故选C。
10.词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“We set a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked
him for feedback (反馈), I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad
writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times(我们为这篇论文设
定了一个目标,我仔细地撰写了大纲。但当我请他给予反馈时,很快就发现论文上满是红色的批注。他解
释说,红色标记并不意味着我写得不好。写作不是一次性就能完成的事情,它需要反复修改,往往要多次
才行)”可知,此处说的是有关撰写论文的话题,可推理出划线词的含义为“撰写”。故选C。
11.推理判断题。根据第三段“He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done
thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing
when I was searching for an efficient design?”(他解释说,红色标记并不意味着我写得不好。写作不是一次性
就能完成的事情,它需要反复修改,往往要多次才行。突然我想到:“我在寻找高效设计方案时,不也是
做了同样的事情吗?”)” 可知,作者被告知写作不是一次性就能完成的事情,它需要反复修改,往往要多
次才行,作者从中意识到自己在寻找高效设计方案时,也是做了同样的事情,可推理出作者意识到两者都
需要反复尝试和修正,故选A项。
12.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me
organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during
my early struggles with essays(写作自此之后成为了我研究中最喜欢的部分之一,它帮助我整理思绪。我甚至
开始撰写科普文章,这在我早年为论文挣扎时是根本无法想象的)”可知,写作自此之后成为了作者研究中
最喜欢的部分之一,可推理出作者现在对写作充满热情。故选D项。
Passage 4
(2026·重庆·二诊)
Over the summer, my daughter, Cora, then 9, attended her first sleepaway camp. It had been her longest time
away from home. “How much longer?” she asked with increasing frequency during our return trip to Stanford.
Just past Crystal Springs Lake, Highway 280 peaks and then bends left, going down through golden grasses. I
asked her to look out of the window. “Do you recognize where we are?” She stared out, then let out a cry of longing. By
the time we turned onto Campus Drive, it had become a repeated shout: “Home! Home!”
Cora has lived as a resident fellow kid in dorms since she was one. She’s connected to the land and itsinhabitants: the coast live oak trees she climbed and the annual summer ants into every campus kitchen. She’s tied to
its people — notably, college students. She has joined their Halloween costume competitions and eaten dining hall
chicken beside them since she could hold one up.
I, on the other hand, have a hard time answering the question of where I am “from”. By the time I was Cora’s
age, I’d lived in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and North Carolina. Any friendships built to last did so by letter. In adulthood
I added four more states. Where can I lay claim to? I’ve now lived at Stanford a collective 13 years and built a family here.
In that moment Cora cried out, I was filled with a realization. Cora is from here. Up to that day, I’d thought of
Stanford as a thing I was sharing with my children, but I realized it is something they are sharing with me. And this
place grounds us, my daughter and me, and it connects us to each other.
13.What does the daughter’s repeated question “How much longer?” show?
A.She is physically exhausted. B.She is unsure of the route.
C.She is eager to return home. D.She is uneasy about leaving.
14.Why does the author describe Cora’s childhood life?
A.To show how unusual her childhood is. B.To explain why Cora enjoys outdoors.
C.To contrast what life her mother had lived. D.To illustrate how deeply Cora belongs.
15.What difficulty does the author note about her own background?
A.She has lived in too many places to feel rooted. B.She has lost contact with her childhood friends.
C.She regrets moving frequently during adulthood. D.She feels disconnected from her family history.
16.What realization does the author reach at the end?
A.Her children feel more at home than she does.B.Her family has become deeply rooted in Stanford.
C.Stanford gives them a shared sense of belonging. D.Long-term residence creates a sense of ownership.
【答案】13.C 14.D 15.A 16.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了女儿参加夏令营后在回家途中急切盼望到家的表现,回忆了女儿
从小在斯坦福校园生活的经历,并对比了自己频繁搬家、没有固定归属感的成长经历,最终意识到斯坦福
让母女二人拥有了共同的归属感。
13.细节理解题。根据第一段““How much longer?” she asked with increasing frequency during our return trip
to Stanford.(“还要多久?”在我们返回斯坦福的途中,她问得越来越频繁。)”以及第二段“By the time we
turned onto Campus Drive, it had become a repeated shout: “Home! Home!”(当我们拐进校园大道时,这已经变
成了重复的呼喊:“家!家!”)”可知,女儿不断问“还有多久”是因为急切想要回家。故选C。
14.推理判断题。根据第三段“Cora has lived as a resident fellow kid in dorms since she was one. She’s connectedto the land and its inhabitants: the coast live oak trees she climbed and the annual summer ants into every campus
kitchen. She’s tied to its people — notably, college students.(科拉从一岁起就作为住宿研究员的孩子住在宿舍
里。她与这片土地及其居民紧密相连:她爬过的海岸橡树,以及每年夏天涌入校园每个厨房的蚂蚁。她与
这里的人息息相关——尤其是大学生。)”可知,作者描述女儿的童年生活是为了说明女儿对斯坦福这片土
地有深厚的归属感。故选D。
15.细节理解题。根据第四段“By the time I was Cora’s age, I’d lived in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and North
Carolina. Any friendships built to last did so by letter. In adulthood I added four more states. Where can I lay claim
to?(在我和科拉差不多大的时候,我已经住过俄亥俄州、印第安纳州、密苏里州和北卡罗来纳州。任何想
要长久维系的友谊都是通过书信实现的。成年后,我又多住了四个州。我能声称自己来自哪里呢?)”可
知,作者一生在太多地方居住过,以至于找不到自己的根,没有固定的归属感。故选A。
16.推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’d thought of Stanford as a thing I was sharing with my children, but I realized it
is something they are sharing with me. And this place grounds us, my daughter and me, and it connects us to each
other.(我曾以为斯坦福是我和孩子们分享的东西,但我意识到,它是孩子们和我分享的东西。这个地方让
我和女儿有了根基,也把我们彼此联系在一起。)”可知,作者意识到斯坦福给了她们一家人共同的归属
感。故选C。
Passage 5
(2026·重庆名校联盟·二模)
I’m James. Burned out from work, I found life had become flat and that I desperately needed something to
shift my focus. One night I came across a website recommending scuba (水肺) diving lessons. I hadn’t ever thought
much about the idea of diving before; but its complete unfamiliarity fueled my interest; I decided to give it a shot! I
had my training lessons at an indoor swimming pool. After completing the courses, I felt a sense of great satisfaction
and achievement for overcoming the initial fear and discomfort of breathing underwater.
Knowing I hadn’t yet experienced what real scuba diving is all about, I spent hours researching where the best
places to dive were. But before I knew it, I had been on an airplane to Belize. Less than 24 hours after my arrival,
and minutes into my first ocean dive, I was literally diving head first into the deep end, finding myself 80 feet
underwater. It’s the kind of extraordinary water having such great visibility that you can see clearly for hundreds of
feet around you.
Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large
groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached the bottom a lone nurse shark swam
right under me. More started to arrive. Just as I was shooting pictures of the action and not paying attention to anythingor anyone else around, I looked up to see a bright green threatening face headed straight for me. He wasn’t the least
bit shy. He has apparently never heard of personal space. After he decided to swim by me without causing any bodily
harm, I was both relieved and excited.
This will always be that one special dive that changed everything and I get to watch it any time I find myself
missing the water.
17.What pushed James to try scuba diving?
A.Online low-price campaigns. B.Love for underwater events.
C.Cut- throat career challenges. D.Thirst for fresh experiences.
18.What do we know about James’s first ocean dive?
A.He didn’t adopt a gradual strategy. B.He didn’t use former diving skills.
C.He found the best diving location. D.He made friends with other divers.
19.Why did James mention sea animals?
A.To underline their diversity. B.To introduce their wildness.
C.To demonstrate diving appeal. D.To promote ocean exploration.
20.What is the suitable title for the text?
A.When to chase novelty? B.What underwater thrill?
C.Why swim deep down? D.How to overcome fear?
【答案】17.D 18.A 19.C 20.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述James因工作倦怠尝试水肺潜水,从室内训练克服恐惧到在伯

活变得毫无波澜,于是我迫切需要一些东西来转移我的注意力)”和“I decided to give it a shot! I had my training
lessons at an indoor swimming pool.(我决定试一试!我的训练课是在室内游泳池进行的)”可知,对新鲜体验
的渴望促使詹姆斯尝试潜水这项运动。故选D。
18.细节理解题。根据第二段“Less than 24 hours after my arrival, and minutes into my first ocean dive, I was
literally diving head first into the deep end, finding myself 80 feet underwater.(我抵达这里不到 24 小时后,就
在我的第一次海洋潜水开始时,我竟然直接一头扎进了深水区,结果发现自己已经潜到了 80英尺深的地
方)”可知,詹姆斯的首次海洋潜水没有采用循序渐进的策略。故选A。19.推理判断题。根据第三段“Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse
sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached

当的题目。故选B。
Passage 6
(2026·甘肃嘉峪关·二模)
It was a week after my mom had passed away, and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received
an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer
was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — stuck with me. I felt
obliged to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website
daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She
was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces.
They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.
So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But
my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get
in my way.Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my
mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument
there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “I don’t
want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my
shoulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach

Passage 7
(2026·甘肃酒泉·二模)
The German Bundestag (联邦议院) and U. S. Department of State are proud to recognize Joey DiPalma as
the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) U. S. Participant of the Month for January 2026! Joey, a CBYX
Vocational program participant from Carrollton, Texas, was recruited (招募) by Nacel Open Door and is hosted by
the Knöpfles family in Berlin, Germany.
Joey first learned about CBYX from his classmates at school, and his German teacher encouraged him to
apply. Although he had not planned to study abroad, Joey recognized that opportunities like CBYX are rare, so he
decided to apply. CBYX became the beginning of a life-changing journey filled with adventure and personal
growth.
Before his exchange year, Joey lacked confidence in speaking German. However, once he joined the program,
he persisted in his language studies and fully immersed (沉浸) himself in his host community. He actively participated
in his political debate class and engaged in community events. Through these efforts, Joey not only practiced his
German but also built connections with people across generations and backgrounds.
His teacher in Germany describes him as kindhearted and positive, noting that Joey’s friendly manner quickly
made him a valued member of the group. As Joey became more involved in his host community, he reached a
significant milestone: when speaking with locals, he realized they often could not tell he was American, highlighting
his remarkable progress in German.
Joey has made seeking out new opportunities a key theme of his time in Germany. From the beginning, hechallenged himself to leave his comfort zone and try new activities, such as joining the basketball team and learning
kickboxing. He has also made a positive impact through volunteer work, including assisting elderly community
members move, and supporting the music and fine arts program at a nearby school.
Joey encourages future participants to embrace every opportunity, invest fully in their exchange, and remember:
“CBYX is not just a year abroad. It is a year for trying new things, building lifelong relationships, becoming almost
fluent in German, and learning how to be a true adult.”
25.What led Joey to apply for the CBYX program?
A.His classmates’ strong recommendation.
B.His plan to study abroad in advance.
C.The encouragement from his host family.
D.His recognition of the rare opportunity.
26.What contributed most to Joey’s great progress in German?
A.Formal classroom training. B.Confidence in language learning.
C.Constant practice and full engagement. D.Learning from the private tutors.
27.Which of the following words can best describe Joey?

Passage 8
(2026·四川雅安·二模)
At 14, I met Mrs. Korthaus, a 4-foot-10 English teacher at my rural Pennsylvania Catholic high school with
an infectious, fearless spirit. Married nearly 40 and a latecomer to teaching, she moved to our industrial town for her
husband’s job, where women had few career options. Before embarking on her teaching career, she had spent years
working in corporate life, which made her financially independent. These extraordinary experiences shaped her
remarkable life. And maybe mine.She gave me a judgment-free space to learn from youthful mistakes and discover my true potential. Beyond
teaching me literature and journalism — skills that fueled my career as a writer — she modeled how to live a fulfilling,
self-driven life, which was rare for a woman I’d known then. Growing up in a small town, I struggled to imagine a
life beyond it, even fearing success despite good grades; I’d have stayed forever if I could. Mrs. Korthaus changed
that.
With sculpted cheekbones, straightforward speech and great enthusiasm, she celebrated students with Oprah-
like joy, cheering, “YOU get an A!” We flocked to her for college recommendation letters, for she could help us see
our own strengths. She opened a window to the world for us small-town kids through writing, literature and
communications. Besides, she organized various after-school activities, showing us her passion for life.
Famously standing on a chair to state her point, she’d thunder “The hu-MAN-uh-teez!”, wave her fist in the
air like Braveheart. To her, the humanities revealed human dignity and the universal need to feel worthy, in oneself
and others. She never demanded attention; her sheer joy of learning inspired it. She saw every student deeply,
understanding that behavior reflects a child’s sense of being loved — a gift that made us thrive in her class and in
life.
More than 25 years after graduation, after building a writing career away and moving back, I still consider
myself her student. It’s with her as my clear role model that I answered an unexpected life call forever shaped by her
wisdom and spirit.
29.What did Mrs Korthaus provide for the author during high school?
A.Various ways to improve grades.
B.Financial support for a writing career.
C.Guaranteed college admission recommendation.
D.A safe environment for growth and self-discovery.
30.Why did Mrs. Korthaus thunder “The hu-MAN-uh-teez!”?
A.To share her sheer joy of learning.
B.To attract students’ attention in a funny way.
C.To highlight her emphasis on the humanities.
D.To show her gift for making students thrive in life.
31.Which could best describe Mrs. Korthaus?
A.Traditional and devoted. B.Passionate and humorous.
C.Empowering and nurturing. D.Inspiring and demanding.
32.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To recall her growth as a writer. B.To remember a life-changing teacher.
C.To introduce a way of career planning. D.To explain the importance of humanities.
【答案】29.D 30.C 31.C 32.B

啊!”然后像《勇敢的心》中的角色那样在空中挥舞着拳头。对她而言,人文科学揭示了人类的尊严以及
渴望感到有价值的普遍需求,无论是对自己还是对他人。)”可知,Korthaus夫人大声喊出这个词,是为了
强调她对人文学科的重视。故选C项。

回忆了老师Korthaus夫人对自己学业、人生观和人生选择的深远影响,表达了对她的怀念和感恩。因此,其写作目的应该是怀念这位改变自己一生的老师。故选B项。
Passage 9
(2026·四川广元·二模)
I left for America without a dramatic goodbye — no airport hugs, no family photos, and no one waiting at the
gate. My parents, public servants in India, did not accompany me, holding their heartbreak quietly so that their
children can walk forward without hesitation.
When I reached London, my connecting flight was delayed. I spent the night on the airport floor with $1,300
in my account — money meant to last until I found a job in America whose systems I did not yet understand. I was
afraid but I knew I could not go back.
My first job in America began at 6:00 a.m. at Starbucks. I arrived by 5:30 a.m. every morning, walking alone
through snow-covered streets in Rochester’s winter darkness. For many international students, the classroom is only
part of the education. The rest is survival: navigating immigration rules, managing finances under work-hour limits,
adapting to unfamiliar systems, and living with the constant awareness that one mistake can undo years of effort. We
do not have the luxury of being only a student. We are workers, students, immigrants, and emotional anchors for
families across time zones — all at once.
Despite all the pressure, I stepped into leadership roles at Simon Business School. Yet, a peer told me if people
had a choice, they would never choose me. That night, I made a decision. Instead of shrinking, I would outgrow every
version of myself that other people found acceptable. I earned a STEM-designated degree. I began working with the
New York State Department of Taxation & Finance in a role built on trust, accountability, and long-term investment.
My supervisors valued my work.
My journey is not exceptional. If this story resonates, it is because it mirrors thousands of others who wake up
before sunrise, walk alone through winters and keep going quietly.
33.What can we infer about the author’s parents?
A.They couldn’t afford a trip to the airport.
B.They hid their sadness to support the author.
C.They didn’t back the author’s decision to leave.
D.They showed no concern for the author’s departure.
34.What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3?
A.To complain about the unfair treatment.
B.To explain how to balance work and study.
C.To advise international students to work harder.D.To share international students’ struggles in America.
35.Which of the following best describes the author?
A.Cautious and intelligent. B.Ambitious and sympathetic.
C.Hardworking and determined. D.Courageous and innovative.
36.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Quiet Courage, Steady Pace B.Snowy Streets, Broken Dreams
C.Hidden Struggles, Silent Tears D.A Lonely Journey, A Regretful Choice
【答案】33.B 34.D 35.C 36.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者独自赴美求学的艰辛历程与奋斗成长。
33.推理判断题。根据第一段中“My parents, public servants in India, did not accompany me, holding their
heartbreak quietly so that their children can walk forward without hesitation.(我的父母是印度的公务员,他们没
有陪我一起去,而是默默地忍受着心碎,这样他们的孩子才能毫不犹豫地向前走。)”可知,作者的父母隐
藏起他们的悲伤来支持作者。故选B。
34.推理判断题。根据第三段中“For many international students, the classroom is only part of the education.
The rest is survival: navigating immigration rules, managing finances under work-hour limits, adapting to unfamiliar
systems, and living with the constant awareness that one mistake can undo years of effort.(对于许多国际学生来
说,课堂只是教育的一部分。剩下的就是生存:熟悉移民规则,在工作时间的限制下管理财务,适应不熟
悉的系统,并且时刻意识到一个错误可能会毁掉多年的努力。)”可知,作者写第三段的目的是分享国际学
生在美国的挣扎。故选D。
35.推理判断题。根据第三段中“I arrived by 5:30 a.m. every morning, walking alone through snow-covered
streets in Rochester’s winter darkness.(我每天早上5点半到达,独自一人穿过罗切斯特冬日黑暗中积雪覆盖的
街道。)”以及第四段中“Instead of shrinking, I would outgrow every version of myself that other people found
acceptable. I earned a STEM-designated degree. I began working with the New York State Department of Taxation
& Finance in a role built on trust, accountability, and long-term investment.(我不会退缩,我会超越他人所能接
受的任何一个版本的自己。我获得了STEM指定的学位。我开始在纽约州税务局工作,这个职位建立在信
任、问责和长期投资的基础上。)”可知,作者勤奋且坚定。故选C。
36.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段“My journey is not exceptional. If this story resonates, it is
because it mirrors thousands of others who wake up before sunrise, walk alone through winters and keep going
quietly.(我的旅程并不特别。如果这个故事引起了共鸣,那是因为它反映了成千上万其他人的故事,他们在日出前醒来,独自走过冬天,静静地继续前行。)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者独自一人前往美国求学的经
历,虽然经历了种种困难,但作者依然坚定地前行,最终取得了成功。文章强调了作者在面对困难时的勇
气和坚持,以及默默地、稳步地前进的态度。A选项“Quiet Courage, Steady Pace(默默的勇气,稳定的步
伐)”最符合文章主旨,适合作本文标题。故选A。
Passage 10
(2026·陕西商洛·二模)
When our family was on long car trips, my kids sat forward in their seats, eyes moving quickly across
billboards. “I found an A” my daughter shouted, her voice full of excitement. Thus began our alphabet (字母) game
— a tradition I loved as a child, now bringing joy to a new generation. What always amazed me was how, once we
fixed our attention on a letter, it seemed to show up everywhere: a “B” on a bakery sign, a “C” on a coffee ad. I’d
worry we’d never spot a Q or X, but sure enough, they’d appear, making the kids cheer like we’d won a prize.
This little phenomenon hit me harder while I struggled to write a book for Angelico Press. For days, I stared
at my screen, the cursor (光标) shining with nothing there, as I fought to find fresh, poetic words for “nature’s beauty.”
Every phrase felt boring — too common, too forced. I’d delete paragraphs when I felt upset, wondering if I’d ever
catch that quiet magic of the outdoors, the kind that makes you feel amazed. It wasn’t for lack of trying; I read poetry
collections, took dawn walks, but inspiration just wouldn’t stick.
Then one afternoon, as the kids talked excitedly from the back seat about spotting a “Y” on a farm sign, it
clicked. I’d been waiting for inspiration to find me, not going out to find it. What if I approached writing like their
game? I started hunting for metaphors (隐喻) in daily life — and soon, they were everywhere: a garden rose became
“sunlight wrapped in silk,” rain on my window “the sky’s soft whisper.”
Just as Mentalist Oz Pearlman says, “we find what we seek.” Whether it’s a letter on a billboard, a meaningful
image, or even joy in small moments, focus turns the invisible into the visible. It’s a reminder to choose what we look
for wisely — because what we notice shapes the world we see.
37.What was the author’s initial concern about the game?
A.The children would soon get bored.
B.Some letters might be too hard to find.
C.The children would fight over the letters.
D.They might run out of billboards to search.
38.Why did the author delete paragraphs when writing?
A.She lacked writing materials.
B.She wanted to copy poetry styles.C.She thought her writing was too long.
D.She couldn’t find creative expressions.
39.What made the author get inspiration for writing?
A.The poetry collections she read.
B.The way to play the alphabet game.
C.The idea of taking a family car ride.
D.The poetic sentences she created.
40.What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A.Treasures lie in distant places.
B.Inspiration comes from reading.
C.Focus helps discover life’s beauty.
D.Success depends on the right moment.
【答案】37.B 38.D 39.B 40.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者从字母游戏中获得启发,找到写作灵感的经历与感悟。
37.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I’d worry we’d never spot a Q or X, but sure enough, they’d appear, making
the kids cheer like we’d won a prize. (我会担心我们永远找不到字母Q或X,但它们肯定会出现,让孩子们欢
呼雀跃,就像我们赢得了奖品一样)”可知,作者最初担心有些字母可能很难被找到。故选B项。
38.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For days, I stared at my screen, the cursor (光标) shining with nothing there,
as I fought to find fresh, poetic words for “nature’s beauty.” Every phrase felt boring — too common, too forced. I’d
delete paragraphs when I felt upset (几天来,我盯着屏幕,光标闪着光,屏幕上却一片空白,我努力为“自然
之美”寻找新颖而富有诗意的词汇。每个短语都显得乏味——太过平庸,太过刻意。我心烦的时候就会删
掉段落)”可知,作者删除段落是因为找不到有创意的表达。故选D项。
39.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then one afternoon, as the kids talked excitedly from the back seat about
spotting a “Y” on a farm sign, it clicked. I’d been waiting for inspiration to find me, not going out to find it. What if
I approached writing like their game? (后来有一天下午,孩子们在后座兴奋地谈论着在农场标志牌上发现了字
母Y,我突然恍然大悟。我一直在等着灵感来找我,而不是主动去寻找它。如果我像玩他们的游戏一样去
写作会怎么样呢)”可知,是玩字母游戏的方式让作者获得了写作灵感。故选B项。
40.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Just as Mentalist Oz Pearlman says, “we find what we seek.” Whether it’s a
letter on a billboard, a meaningful image, or even joy in small moments, focus turns the invisible into the visible. (正如心
灵魔术师奥兹・珀尔曼所说:“我们会找到我们所追寻的东西。”无论是广告牌上的一个字母、一幅有意义的图像,甚至是微小瞬间里的喜悦,专注都能将无形的事物变得有形可见)” 可知,我们能从作者的经历
中领悟到专注有助于发现生活中的美好。故选C项。
主题03人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通
Passage 1
(2026·吉林白山·二模)
My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment. Sitting across from me, she
looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.”
But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began
showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates
sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have
done differently.
I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph. D.but didn’t get much guidance on how to do it. I
learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time
grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I
stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-
out. Had I failed her?
It wasn’t until the final year of my Ph. D.that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop.
Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for
weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of
mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in
my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could
have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles.
After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing,
not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built
through reflection and training. I wish I’d attended that workshop earlier, but I’m grateful I did at all.
1.What primarily caused the student’s withdrawal according to paragraph 1?
A.Demanding research challenges. B.Heavy academic workload.
C.Unaddressed inner struggles. D.Repetitive failures in research.
2.Why did the author mention the change of another student?
A.To explain his own research breakthrough. B.To illustrate his lack of proper guidance.C.To showcase his pride in her achievement. D.To highlight the contrast in mentoring outcomes.
3.What did the workshop mainly focus on?
A.Developing academic research skills.
B.Encouraging discussions among graduate students.
C.Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring.
D.Demonstrating diverse personal mentoring approaches.
4.Which of the following can best describe the author?
A.Strict and intelligent. B.Disciplined but inexperienced.
C.Thoughtful but self-doubting. D.Responsible and reflective.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.D

who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her
unspoken struggles.(我开始意识到,在我和那个逐渐疏远的学生的关系中,可能缺少了些什么。我从未邀请
她分享自己的目标或担忧。我本可以更关注她未说出口的挣扎。)”可知,学生退出的主要原因是未被关注
的内心挣扎。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段“One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent
and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment
stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. (有一个学生一开始沉默寡
言、缺乏自信,但随着时间的推移,她成长为一名非常独立和自信的年轻研究者。毕业前,她告诉我:
“是你让我坚持了下来。”那一刻一直萦绕在我心头。但另一个时刻也同样萦绕在我心头——沉默、缺
席、逐渐淡出。)”可知,作者提及另一位学生的转变,是为了对比两种不同的指导结果。故选D项。

4.推理判断题。根据全文,尤其是第一段“I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with
coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently.(我试
图为自己辩解:本科生有时会忙于课程作业、失去兴趣或改变方向,但在内心深处,我想知道自己本可以做些不同的事情。)”、第三段“Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring,
brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible
labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize

I was driving on a hot morning to Los Angeles in a brand- new car. I stopped to get fuel. I thought any gas
would work, and I picked one. A while later, getting closer to Los Angeles, that’s when the car suddenly died.
I called the rental agency. Ten minutes later, a man named Jackson came with a tow truck and moved me off
the road. I told him what was wrong. I felt so depressed, and I started to cry. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine,” he
said. “It’s OK to cry. I sometimes cry.” Then we sat in his truck to wait for the agent from the car-rental company. He
gave me some suggestions on driving and cars. It seemed as if the rental company had taken advantage of me by
giving me a bad car.
When the agent finally came, I was then driven to the rental office. I was mad about getting a car that didn’t
work right and complained to the manager. He offered me another car, but I didn’t want to handle more driving and
asked a refund of full amount. The manager agreed gently. Then, as we went to get my stuff from the car, I saw
something written on the windshield (挡风玻璃): “Diesel Only.” I Googled diesel and learned that gas shouldn’t be
put in a diesel car. I thought: Oh, my God! It was my fault. I felt so stupid.
The manager left me at the train station with my suitcase and three bags, where I asked a policeman what train
to take to Los Angeles. He said a bus would be quicker, and then he carried my bags to the stop and told the driver to
tell me when to get off, which he did.
On the way to the hotel, I felt a whole chain of people helped me, but I was trapped in thinking everyone had
bad intentions. It’s natural to be cautious in the complex world, but I guess I needed to be more open to the kindness of
strangers, to see the potential for good in every interaction.

Passage 3
(2026·甘肃·二模)
Abdu, a 17-year-old, dreams of going to medical school in Ireland and becoming a doctor. He believes his
volunteer work is preparing him for this challenging future. “It’s really important that people go out of their comfort
zone,” Abdu said. “Doing that, you gain lots of skills that you would not gain without the experience. And that’s what
volunteering was for me.”
Abdu’s journey began with sports. From a young age, he found peace and joy in physical activities like skating,
swimming, and soccer. However, as he started to look forward, his focus shifted from playing the game to sharing it.
“I looked at the coaches and thought if they’re willing to volunteer their time to make sure that I’m here having a
good time, then why can’t I do the same in the future?” Abdu said. “I wanted to ensure that every kid is able to enjoy
the same thing that I was able to enjoy and just experience the sports that I had the experience of playing.” At 16, he
decided to become a volunteer and pass on everything he had learned about sports.
While his soccer skills and enthusiasm were there, he had no experience teaching or leading. Later, Abdu got
a chance to be an assistant coach for a children’s soccer team. This experience greatly enhanced his leadership skills.
One evening, when the head coach was absent, Abdu was asked to run the practice himself. Though nervous, he
jumped at the chance and successfully led the team, making all the kids happy and boosting his own confidence.
Volunteering has built his confidence, sharpened his skills, and opened new possibilities. He knows that
medical schools look for more than just good grades; they also value applicants’ experiences. Thanks to his
volunteering, Abdu now has plenty of valuable experience for his future.
9.What did Abdu think of volunteer work?
A.Stressful. B.Valuable.
C.Comforting. D.Annoying.

Passage 4
(2026·四川凉山·二模)
Caring 17-year-old Lauren Schroeder was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her
community. Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in
need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries:
fresh vegetables. So she shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon,
Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce.
Coming from a farming family, Lauren had some familiarity with agriculture and had helped raise rabbits and
lambs, but had never tried vegetable cultivation at scale, though the Schroeders plant soybeans and corn each year
on their 150-acre farm.
The work involved in realizing Lauren’s plan was no walk in the park. Initially, while proud of her daughter’s
vision, her mother, Katie Schroeder, admitted having some concern about the work involved: “I was wondering,‘Oh
my gosh, how much work is this going to be?’ I wasn’t sure whether this would work.”
This was one young change-maker, however! Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed
more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. During Iowa’s hot summers, she had to
water her crops by hand for around 2 to 3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds and bent down to pick her
green bean crop. Thanks to her diligence, Lauren planted half an acre of land, with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022,
harvesting and weighing her first crops, with a first batch of 18 kilograms.
In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that’d impact people. I
want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more of a difference when you help
others out. That’s what makes me happiest.”13.Why did Lauren start her own garden?
A.Because of her family’s long tradition of farming.
B.Because of the lack of fresh produce in donated food boxes.
C.Because of a local media interview about community service.
D.Because of her experience of raising rabbits and lambs on the farm.
14.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The doubts Lauren’s mother had about the garden.
B.The reasons why Lauren chose 15 varieties of vegetables.
C.The challenges Lauren faced in harvesting crops.

15.What can be inferred about Lauren from the passage?
A.She plans to major in agriculture in college.
B.She relied heavily on her parents for farming advice.
C.She is hardworking and committed to helping others.
D.She started the garden mainly to gain online recognition.
16.What is the best title for the passage?
A.A Teen’s Garden: Growing Hope for the Needy
B.The Importance of Fresh Vegetables in Food Banks

Passage 5
(2026·四川成都·二模)
Paul Edward Farmer Jr. was born on Oct. 26, 1959, in North Adams, Mass. When Paul was around 12, hisfather bought an old bus and converted it into a mobile home. Paul, his parents and his five siblings spent the next
few years traveling.
One summer, he and his family worked alongside Haitian migrant workers picking oranges, listening curiously
as they chatted to one another in Creole. That was Paul’s first encounter with Haiti, the country that would appeal to
him in his 20s and then direct him toward a career in public health.
After graduating from Duke University, he moved to Haiti, volunteering in Cange. He arrived when Haiti’s
hospital system was so threadbare that patients had to pay for basic supplies, like medical gloves. He said he was
really taken aback by the situation and decided to open a different kind of clinic. Over the years, Dr. Farmer raised
millions of dollars for an ever-expanding network of community health facilities.
The clinic in Haiti, at first a single room, grew over the years to a network of 16 medical centers in the country,
with a local staff of almost 7, 000. Among them was a teaching hospital opened in 2013. There, poor patients with
difficult diseases paid a basic fee of around $1.50 a day for treatment, including medication.
Partners in Health he founded with the the other three also expanded into Rwanda, where Dr. Farmer helped
the government restructure the country’s health system, improving health outcomes in areas. Dr. Farmer also helped
develop new public health approaches in Peru, Russia and Lesotho, among other places.
Over the years, he kept in touch with many of his patients. “He had a very tender heart, “ said Laurie Nuell, a
close friend and board director at Partners in Health. ”Seeing pain and suffering was very hard for him. It just hurt
him. I’m a social worker by training. One thing I learned is about keeping a professional distance. He was different.
That’s the beauty of it.”
17.What drew Dr. Farmer’s interest in Haiti?
A.His school life at university. B.His childhood traveling with his family.
C.His curiosity about the Creole language.D.His work experience in the countryside.
18.Why did Dr. Farmer decide to open the clinic?
A.To offer accessible medical care. B.To promote local social justice.
C.To pursue his academic ambition. D.To expand his medical project globally.

A.Dr. Farmer stayed sympathetic.
B.Dr. Farmer was quite professional.
C.Dr. Farmer was experienced in social work.
D.Dr. Farmer showed devotion to public health.
20.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A.To call for more help for the poor in Haiti. B.To praise a doctor for his lifelong devotion.
C.To tell a story of a family’s unusual travels. D.To introduce a new medical system in Haiti.

Passage 6
(2026·陕西延安·二模)
The diagnosis did not arrive with a thunderclap but seeped into Elias’s consciousness like an insidious ink
stain, blurring the vibrant contours of his seventeen years into a monochrome landscape of dread. In the small,
conservative town of Oakhaven, HIV was not merely a virus; it was a social leprosy, a silent verdict that promised
ostracization from the very community that had nurtured him. Doors that once swung open now remained firmly
shut; whispers in the school corridors mutated into a deafening, deliberate silence whenever he passed.
Then there was Julian. Julian, whose own blood carried the same invisible burden, did not offer the hollow
platitudes of “everything will be fine” that adults so clumsily wielded. Instead, he enacted a quiet, stubborn rebellion
against the prevailing tide of ignorance. While others maintained a sanitized distance, treating Elias as if his mere
presence were airborne contagion, Julian closed the gap. He would sit on the edge of Elias’s bed, the mattress dipping
under his weight, discussing everything from the absurdity of calculus to the melancholic beauty of autumn leaves,
deliberately ignoring the elephantine presence of the virus lurking in their shared biology.
Their friendship became a clandestine sanctuary. In the sterile silence of the hospital waiting room, where the
air smelled perpetually of antiseptic and despair, they constructed a universe of their own. They played chess on a
battered board, the clicking of pieces serving as a rhythmic defiance against the ticking clock of their mortality.
“Checkmate,” Julian would declare, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes bright with a ferocity that belied his
gaunt, medication-wasted frame. It was in these moments that the virus seemed to shrink, reduced from a monstrous
predator to a manageable nuisance, dwarfed by the sheer magnitude of their shared resolve.
The turning point arrived not through a miraculous cure, but through a public act of vulnerability. During the
town hall meeting intended to discuss “community health safety” — a euphemism for containing the “threat” —
Julian requested the microphone. Trembling, yet rooted to the spot like an ancient oak weathering a storm, he spoke
not of statistics, but of Elias. He recounted late-night conversations that stitched their souls together, of laughter
shared in the face of adversity, and of a bond that refused to be severed by biology. “We are not our diagnosis,”
Julian’s voice cracked, then steadied, ringing through the auditorium. “We are the sum of our courage.”The silence that followed was different this time. It was not the silence of fear, but of profound reflection.
Slowly, tentatively, applause began, swelling into a roar that seemed to shake the very foundations of the prejudice
that had held them captive. Elias, watching from the wings, felt a warmth spread through his chest, a sensation far
more potent than any antiretroviral regimen. The virus remained, a silent tenant in their bodies, but it no longer held
the lease on their lives. They had not conquered the disease in a biological sense — the battle was ongoing, arduous,
and uncertain — but they had vanquished the shadow it cast over their spirits. In the economy of the human heart,
their friendship was the only currency that mattered, buying them a future that medicine alone could never promise.
21.What does the author imply by describing the diagnosis as an “insidious ink stain” in the first paragraph?
A.The medical report was written in ink that accidentally spilled on Elias’s belongings.
B.The impact of the disease was gradual, subtle, and psychologically corrupting.
C.The hospital staff made a mistake in recording the test results due to negligence.
D.Elias tried to hide the diagnosis by covering the document with dark ink.
22.How did Julian’s approach to supporting Elias differ from that of the adults in the town?
A.Julian focused on finding experimental cures, while adults focused on prayer.
B.Julian avoided mentioning the disease entirely, whereas adults discussed it openly.
C.Julian offered realistic companionship and normalcy, while adults offered empty reassurances and
isolation.
D.Julian publicly revealed their status immediately, while adults kept it a secret to protect them.
23.What is the symbolic significance of the chess game described in the third paragraph?
A.It represents the strategic planning required to hide their medical conditions from the public.
B.It serves as a metaphor for their intellectual superiority over the ignorant townspeople.
C.It illustrates a structured activity where they assert control and defiance amidst the chaos of illness.
D.It shows how they killed time while waiting for the arrival of new medications.
24.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Medical advancements have successfully turned HIV into a minor inconvenience for teenagers.
B.True friendship can dismantle social stigma and restore human dignity even when a biological cure is
absent.
C.Public speaking is the most effective method for curing the psychological trauma associated with chronic
diseases.
D.The education system in small towns plays a crucial role in spreading awareness about infectious
diseases.【答案】21.B 22.C 23.C 24.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两个患HIV少年用友情战胜社会偏见的经历。
21.推理判断题。根据第一段中“The diagnosis did not arrive with a thunderclap but seeped into Elias’s
consciousness like an insidious ink stain, blurring the vibrant contours of his seventeen years into a monochrome
landscape of dread.(诊断结果并非如晴天霹雳般降临,而是像阴险的墨渍般渗入埃利亚斯的意识,将他十七
年鲜活的轮廓模糊成一片单调的恐惧之景。)”可知,作者将诊断描述为“阴险的墨渍”意味着疾病的影响
是逐渐的、微妙的,并且在心理上具有腐蚀性。故选B。
22.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Julian, whose own blood carried the same invisible burden, did not offer the
hollow platitudes of “everything will be fine” that adults so clumsily wielded. Instead, he enacted a quiet, stubborn
rebellion against the prevailing tide of ignorance. While others maintained a sanitized distance, treating Elias as if
his mere presence were airborne contagion, Julian closed the gap.(朱利安自己的血液中也承载着同样的无形负
担,但他没有像成年人那样笨拙地抛出“一切都会好起来”的空洞套话。相反,他以一种安静、固执的方
式反抗着普遍存在的无知潮流。当其他人保持一种净化的距离,把埃利亚斯当作空气传播的传染病一样对
待时,朱利安却缩短了这种距离。)”可知,朱利安通过提供实际的陪伴和正常感来支持埃利亚斯,而成年
人则提供空洞的安慰和孤立。故选C。

滴答作响的有节奏的反抗。朱利安会宣布“将军”,嘴角挂着淡淡的微笑,眼中闪烁着凶狠的光芒,与他
那瘦削、被药物消耗殆尽的身躯形成鲜明对比。正是在这些时刻,病毒似乎缩小了,从一个可怕的捕食者
变成了一个可以控制的麻烦,在他们共同的决心面前显得微不足道。)”可知,下棋象征着他们在混乱的疾
病中通过结构化的活动来主张控制和反抗。故选C。

promise.(病毒仍然存在,是他们体内的无声租客,但它不再掌控他们的生活。他们并没有在生物学意义上战胜疾病——这场战斗还在继续,艰苦且不确定——但他们已经战胜了疾病投在他们精神上的阴影。在人

Passage 7
(2026·青海西宁·二模)
When Paul Cotter’s father, Richard, was 52, he was fired from a large printing company after working there
for over 30 years. Before, Richard Cotter was known for his sharp mind. Now, he found it too difficult to deal with
the slightest bit of pressure. The next few years, he lost job from job. Everyone assumed it was a crisis of confidence.
No one suspected the underlying reason: cognitive decline due to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Then, when
Richard Cotter was 58, he was formally diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s. Paul Cotter recalls that his father was
horrified by the diagnosis. “But I imagine he also felt some sense of relief,” Paul Cotter said. “Finally, there was an
explanation for his decline. And in spite of it all, he still wanted to keep working.”
That’s where Paul Cotter’s unsung hero stepped in. It was the Hidden Brain team. When Cotter’s father applied
for a job there, he disclosed (透露) his diagnosis and the limitations that came with it. But still the firm offered him
the position — handling small tasks like making copies. “They gave him a paycheck, which made him feel needed
and valued,” Cotter said. “But more than just a job, they gave him respect, dignity and a sense of purpose at a time
when his life was falling apart.”
The disease continued to progress. Eventually, his father had difficulty keeping his balance, and one day, he
fell off a small stepladder. It was clear that it was no longer safe for him to continue working. The company let
Cotter’s parents know that with deep regret, it would have to let his father go. On his father’s final day on the job, his
colleagues threw him a goodbye party to thank him for his service.
“What a beautiful, remarkable gesture that was,” Cotter said. Cotter’s three brothers and sister still talk about
the company’s care for their father. They wish they could tell their father’s colleagues how much that generosity has
meant to their family, all these years later.
25.What do we know about Richard from paragraph 1?
A.He used to be considered intelligent. B.He regained confidence in job-hunting.
C.He needed outside assistance to survive.D.He was the oldest worker at the printing company.
26.Which words best describe Richard after his formal diagnosis?
A.Puzzled but energetic. B.Confident and ambitious.
C.Bored and annoyed. D.Scared but relieved.27.How did the Hidden Brain help Richard?
A.By assigning manageable tasks. B.By offering a well-paid position.
C.By providing post-retirement instructions. D.By working out a new cure for Alzheimer’s.
28.What can we say about the impact of the Hidden Brain on Cotter’s family?
A.Predictable. B.Short-lived. C.Far-reaching. D.Insignificant.
【答案】25.A 26.D 27.A 28.C

Passage 8
(2026·宁夏银川·二模)
Chen Jianfeng, a 53-year-old Chinese engineer, has spent the past nine years at the Caculo-Cabaca Hydropower
Project in Angola, one of Angola’s key energy projects. His decades of hands-on experience have established him as
a master in the field. Arriving in Angola during the project’s challenging early phase, Chen faced a critical issue: a
severe shortage of proficient workers and limited access to technical resources in the remote area. He swiftly initiated
intensive professional training programs.
“In the beginning, local workers had no awareness of material dangers. Safety consciousness was very low,”Chen recounted, citing an astonishing incident where a local worker casually placed bags of explosives on the ground.
“I stopped him immediately and patiently explained the risks, emphasizing that they must be handled gently and
never thrown so casually,” he added. Training methods have since evolved significantly. “We break down complex
procedures into simple steps and use Portuguese mnemonics (memory aids). Now, we can train a competent operator
within a month,” Chen said.
Recognizing communication as vital, Chen dedicated himself to learning Portuguese, the country’s official
language. “Sometimes the longest distance isn’t the miles between hemispheres, but me gesturing frantically in front
of you while you remain utterly confused!” Chen remarked on the initial language barrier. He carried a notebook
constantly, jotting down new words and phrases learned from local workers, diligently reviewing them each night.
Within two months, Chen was proficient enough to assign tasks to Angolan staff in Portuguese. His practical
communication skills proved highly effective.
“Language learning isn’t about perfection,” Chen said, “It’s about being understood. Combine it with gestures
for maximum efficiency.” Beyond Portuguese for daily operations, Chen also uses English to communicate with
project owners and supervisors. He now routinely greets local workers on site in Portuguese every morning. Chen
stressed the critical importance of clear communication and genuinely resolving issues for Angolan staff. “If an
employee reports a payroll error, I verify it with HR immediately and ensure it’s corrected,” he said. This consistent
approach has earned Chen deep trust among his Angolan colleagues, who frequently hail him as “our good captain
from China”.
29.What were the two challenges Chen faced at the early stage of the project?
A.Lack of funding and remote location.
B.Shortfall of skilled labor and technical resources.
C.Outdated equipment and harsh climate conditions.
D.Ineffective training methods and language barriers.
30.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mainly suggest?
A.Gesturing alone is insufficient for precise communication.
B.Cultural differences are the toughest problem in the overseas project.
C.Physical distance is no longer a barrier in modern engineering projects.
D.Language barriers can create more obstacles than geographical separation.
31.Which statement best captures Chen’s philosophy on workplace communication?
A.English is essential for daily task assignment.
B.Language accuracy should be given the first priority.C.Being understood is more important than being perfect.
D.Verbal communication alone is sufficient for most situations
32.What can be inferred about Chen’s success in Angola?
A.It reflects China’s superior training system.
B.It mainly results from his technical expertise.
C.It depends on his willingness to work with local staff.
D.It shows English’s importance in international projects.

gesturing frantically in front of you while you remain utterly confused! (有时,最遥远的距离并非是不同半球之
间的距离,而是当我在你面前疯狂地比划着,而你却完全一头雾水!)”可知,该句通过对比“半球距离”
(地理分隔)和“比划却无法沟通”(语言障碍),表明语言障碍可能比地理分隔造成更多阻碍。故选D
项。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Language learning isn’t about perfection,” Chen said, “It’s about being
understood. Combine it with gestures for maximum efficiency.” (陈剑峰说:“语言学习并非追求完美,而是要
被理解。将它与手势相结合,以达到最高效率。”)”可知,最能体现陈剑峰职场沟通理念的陈述是“被理
解比追求完美更重要”。故选C项。
32.推理判断题。根据第一段中“He swiftly initiated intensive professional training programs. (他迅速启动了
密集的专业培训项目。)”、第三段中“Recognizing communication as vital, Chen dedicated himself to learning
Portuguese, the country’s official language. (认识到沟通的重要性,陈剑峰致力于学习葡萄牙语,这是该国的
官方语言。)”和最后一段中“If an employee reports a payroll error, I verify it with HR immediately and ensure
it’s corrected (如果员工发现工资发放有误,我会立即与人力资源部门核实,并确保问题得到解决。)”可知,陈剑峰培训当地工人、学习语言、积极为员工解决薪资问题,展现了主动融入、赋能本地团队的协作精
神。由此推知,他在安哥拉的成功依赖于他愿意与当地员工协作的意愿。故选C项。

Passage 1
(2026·海南·二模)
In the year 2075, humanity’s dream of living beyond Earth had become a reality. The Mars Colony, established
two decades earlier, was now home to over 50,000 people. Among them was 16-year-old Lila, who had never set foot
on Earth but often listened to her mother’s stories about the blue planet.
Life on Mars was both fascinating and challenging. The colony was surrounded by a giant glass dome to
protect residents from the thin atmosphere and extreme temperatures. Inside, artificial gravity kept everyone from
floating away, and air purifiers worked 24/7 to turn the carbon-dioxide-rich air into breathable oxygen. “We’re lucky
to have these technologies,” Lila’s mother often said. “When I first arrived, the water recycling system wasn’t as
efficient, and we had to ration water strictly.”
One evening, Lila asked her mother, “Why do people still talk about Earth so much? Isn’t Mars our home
now?” Her mother smiled sadly and replied, “Earth was once a beautiful place with green forests, blue oceans, and
countless species. But pollution, climate change, and wars destroyed much of it. Now, scientists are working on a
‘Ecological Rehabilitation Project’ to bring back its natural beauty. Maybe one day, you’ll get to see it.”
Lila looked at the hologram of Earth on her desk — a planet covered in gray cities and dry deserts, but with
small patches of green where the rehabilitation project was working. She wondered if Earth could ever be as vibrant as
the old photos her mother showed her. “Don’t lose hope,” her mother said, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Science
fiction once imagined life on Mars; now it’s our reality. Who knows what future we can create for Earth?”
1.What is the main function of the giant glass dome around the Mars Colony?
A.To generate artificial gravity. B.To recycle water for daily use.
C.To protect people from the harsh environment. D.To maintain a warm temperature inside the colony.
2.Why does Lila’s mother mention the “Ecological Rehabilitation Project”?
A.She intends to explain why Mars is a better home than Earth.
B.She aims to illustrate that imaginary things can turn into reality.
C.She hopes to describe the problems on Earth, like pollution.
D.She conveys her hope that the Earth might regain its vitality.3.What does the underlined word “vibrant” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Lively. B.Various. C.Boring. D.Polluted.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Life on Mars is perfect with advanced technology.
B.Earth has become uninhabitable due to human mistakes.
C.Fictional works fuel real-life innovations and environmental efforts.
D.Teenagers in the Mars Colony don’t care about Earth’s problems.

After losing her job, Andrea found herself returning to the one thing that had always offered comfort: painting.
With steady encouragement from her husband, she got into painting full-time, transforming her passion into a
meaningful way to support her family — one brushstroke at a time.Andrea’s creative roots stretch back to childhood. She remembers being fascinated by classics like The Joy of
Painting with Bob Ross, where gentle landscapes unfolded in real time. Combined with the influence of impressionist
and surrealist masters, these early inspirations opened her eyes to the possibilities of color, form, and mood.
Guided by dedicated and incredibly supportive art teachers, Andrea fell for oil paint. Today, she views each
canvas (画布) as an invitation — to push herself, to keep learning, and to refine the signature style her collectors
have come to love. Seeing the joy her work brings to others fuels her passion and makes her efforts worthwhile.
Social platforms have helped her find community, connection, and a broader audience that resonates (共鸣) with her
nature-driven aesthetic (审美).
For Andrea, the creating process is as important as the finished piece. She emphasizes how important it is “to
not get too comfortable” when creating, and to challenge yourself, forcing a deeper dive into your own thought
processes. It’s this sense of personal evolution that gives each painting its emotional resonance.
Andrea’s career continues to develop. She launched her website artbyandrearich.com recently, and she will
present an exhibition next spring at the Holland Area Arts Council in the Jane Armstrong Gallery. With characteristic
optimism, she says, “The best is yet to come.”
For homeowners seeking artworks that bring peace, genuineness, and a touch of Michigan’s natural beauty
indoors, Andrea Rich is certainly an artist to turn to.

Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist(气象学家) Margaret Orr took a
break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather
for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines
before a storm. “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a
heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you,
and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.”
Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running
water but no electricity. She could handle not having air conditioner. The trick, she said. was to take a cold shower.
Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which
was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida (飓风艾达), people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized,practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents.
Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane
Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of
the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said.
“Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said. “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why
do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went
on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As
my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’”
9.Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as ______.
A.poetic but abstract
B.scientific but tricky
C.strange and inaccurate

B.She needed online resources for air conditioning.
C.She was unable to respond to people’s questions.
D.She missed watching news about the hurricane.
11.What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather?
A.Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.
B.Reading books about hurricanes at school.
C.Watching weather reports on television.
D.Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy.
12.What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A.Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world.
B.People online don’t understand her deep love for her home.
C.Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.
D.She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion.

many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “And I said, to
remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. (Orr 报道天气已
有四十二年之久,被许多当地居民视为预言家。有人问她为什么风暴来临前总是阳光灿烂。她回答道:
“我说啊,这是为了提醒我们,阳光总会再次普照大地。不过,我可不想用太阳表情符号。”她用了一个
爱心符号代替。)”以及“The real reason the sun shines before a storm? ‘Because you’ve often got high pressure
right over you, and it’s hot,’ she said. ‘The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.’ (她表示:
“风暴前出现阳光的真正原因是什么?‘因为你头顶上常常有高压,天气很热,’她说,‘高压向东移
动,把风暴系统推向我们这边。’”)可知,她的解释既科学又专业,同时她用“心”代替“太阳”的表情
符号也带有一定的鼓励性。因此,D项“encouraging and professional(鼓励性和专业的)”最符合描述。故选D
项。
10.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.
(“直到上班我才能查看社交媒体,这很烦人。”)”以及第一段中“Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall,
the New Orleans meteorologist (气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some

后稍作休息,在推特上回复了一些粉丝。Orr报道天气已有四十二年之久,被许多当地居民视为预言家。)”
提到人们通过Twitter联系她获取个性化、实用的建议,可以推断出Orr在家无法上网时感到困难是因为她
无法回应人们的问题。因此,C项“She was unable to respond to people’s questions.(她无法回答人们的问
题。)”是正确答案。故选C项。
11.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew
the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm.

尔良的家屋顶吹走了。她记得走到外面,站在风暴中心。‘我抬头看到了天空,看到了星星,’她说。)”
可知,是她小时候在飓风贝琪的风暴眼中看到星星的经历激发了她对天气的兴趣。因此,A项“Seeing the
stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.(在飓风贝琪的风暴眼中看到星星。)”是正确答案。故选A项。
12.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘Bad weather happens everywhere,’ she said. ‘Every now and then, on
Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew
up. This is the place I love.’(“糟糕的天气到处都有,”她说。“时不时地,在推特上,你会看到有人说,你为什么住在那里?嗯,我住在这里是因为这是我的家。这是我长大的地方。这是我爱的地方。”)”可知,
作者想传达的信息是情感依恋是人们与家乡联系在一起的原因。因此,C项“Emotional attachment is what
ties people to their hometown.(情感依恋是将人们与家乡联系在一起的东西。)”是正确答案。故选C项。

Passage 1
(2026·辽宁·二模)
As a freshman, Tiffany Onyeiwu was excited to learn about the ceramics (陶艺) studio in the Quincy House.
Although she had a deep love for art during high school, Onyeiwu had to put aside her artistic pursuits to focus on
academic courses, believing they would contribute to her college applications. After entering the university, the
prospect of reconnecting with her creative side proved irresistible.
“When I first placed my hands on the clay at the potter’s wheel, chaos erupted,” Onyeiwu recounted to an
audience at Sanders Theater. “Slip (泥浆) splattered everywhere, coating my arms and hands. But gradually, I found
my rhythm and regained control. In that moment, I danced with the clay—guiding it, yet recognizing its energy, as it
spun and turned in a continuous, appealing motion.”
Now a joint concentrator in Art, Film & Visual Studies and Social Anthropology, Onyeiwu has spent countless
hours refining her skills in the Ceramics Program through the Office for the Arts (OFA). Her journey is just one of
many shared during the OFA’s 50th anniversary celebration this month. Students, administrators, and alumni alike
took the stage to share how the arts had shaped their experiences at Harvard.
“The OFA is an idea and a promise,” said Fiona Coffey, director of the OFA.“It stands as a declaration that
the arts are not supplementary, but vital to a Harvard education. It proves that knowledge and learning are developed
not only in traditional academic classrooms but also in art studios, music rehearsal rooms, and on stages.”
President Alan Garber spoke about how his childhood interest in photography expanded to a love for films
after he got a job working at a movie theater in high school while saving up to buy a camera. “Art has a unique way
of opening doors for all of us” Garber said. “Once that door is open, it tends to widen, enabling us to embrace a
broader range of creative expressions and diverse artists. Each encounter with art transforms how we see and
appreciate the world—and how we see and appreciate one another.”
1.What was Onyeiwu’s life in high school like?
A.She had no access to art facilities.
B.She prioritized academic achievements.C.She lacked interest in dynamic activities.
D.She went through ups and downs in artistic pursuits.
2.What can be inferred from Onyeiwu’s experience with clay?
A.Ceramics is an art form easy lo master.
B.She was good at handling clay from the start.
C.The clay-making process acts as a source of energy.
D.Creativity often involves an initial struggle before getting control.
3.What does Coffey say about the OFA?
A.It values performances over academic learning.
B.It focuses on supporting traditional academic disciplines.
C.It aims to combine traditional classrooms with art studios.
D.It emphasizes the importance of arts as a core part of education.
4.What does Garber’s story about photography illustrate?
A.Art can change a person’s career path.
B.Photography is the foundation for an interest in art.
C.Art is capable of expanding one’s perspective and appreciation.
D.High school jobs are crucial for discovering one’s artistic potential.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.D 4.C

找到了自己的节奏,重新掌控了局面。那一刻,我与陶泥共舞——引导着它,同时感受着它的能量,看着它连续不断地、充满魅力地旋转、转动。)”可知,一开始场面很混乱,但最终她控制了局面并享受了创作
过程。由此推断,创造力通常需要经历初期的挣扎才能控制局面。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段““The OFA is an idea and a promise,” said Fiona Coffey, director of the
OFA. “It stands as a declaration that the arts are not supplementary, but vital to a Harvard education. It proves that
knowledge and learning are developed not only in traditional academic classrooms but also in art studios, music
rehearsal rooms, and on stages.”(“OFA是一种理念,也是一份承诺,”OFA主任Fiona Coffey说道。“它表明
艺术并非可有可无,而是哈佛大学教育不可或缺的一部分。它证明,知识和学习不仅在传统的学术课堂上
得到发展,也在艺术工作室、音乐排练室和舞台上得到发展。”)”可知,在Coffey看来,OFA不仅是一个
机构,更是一种理念和承诺,强调艺术不是辅助性的,而是哈佛教育中不可或缺的一部分。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段““Art has a unique way of opening doors for all of us,” Garber said. “Once that
door is open, it tends to widen, enabling us to embrace a broader range of creative expressions and diverse artists.
Each encounter with art transforms how we see and appreciate the world—and how we see and appreciate one
another.”(“艺术有一种独特的方式,为我们所有人打开大门,”Garber说。“一旦那扇门打开,它往往会越
开越大,让我们能够接纳更广泛的创意表达和多元的艺术家。每一次与艺术的邂逅都会改变我们看待和欣
赏世界的方式——以及我们看待和欣赏彼此的方式。”)”可知,Garber提到,艺术以独特的方式为人们打
开大门,一旦这扇门打开,它就会拓宽,让人们拥抱更多的创意表达和多样化的艺术家。这表明艺术能够
扩展一个人的视野和鉴赏力。故选C。
Passage 2
(2026·广西百色·二模)
I spent many of these years wishing I were a brain in a vat (培养皿): brains in vats don’t get let down by their
bodies. On account of the pains caused by Lyme disease and endometriosis, I’d find myself seeking out distraction
on a screen, trying to forget I had a body at all.
One day, one of those distractions changed my life for good. I came across a video for Justin Peck’s ballet Year
of the Rabbit. From that moment on, I fell in love with ballet. I longed to try dancing myself. Luckily for me, there
was a dance studio right down the street from my apartment. On a day when I felt well enough, I gathered my courage
and enrolled in a class. Sue, the studio owner and primary instructor, loved teaching the basics of ballet. She took
extra care to point out when students did something well, and took equal joy in the unique ways they made
mistakes.
The more time I spent in Sue’s studio, the more I began to relate to my body in a new way. Learning to dance
was a transformation of mind as much of body. After frustrating me for so long, my body even began to be a sourceof accomplishment and pride. It made me realize that even my sick body had much more potential than I’d realized.
Being human means being vulnerable — getting sick and hurt, and getting older too. But those same bodies
that cause us grief also make it possible to live full and meaningful lives. Ballet continually reminds me that having
a body — and being human — is beautiful, even when it’s hard. And it’s much more fun than being a brain in a vat.
5.Why did the author wish to be “a brain in a vat” at the beginning?
A.To escape her responsibilities.
B.To free herself from a sick body.
C.To focus entirely on intellectual life.
D.To abandon herself to virtual pleasure.
6.Which can best describe Sue’s teaching style?
A.Attentive and supportive. B.Passionate but impatient.
C.Professional and traditional. D.Demanding but encouraging.
7.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Ordinary. B.Sensitive. C.Delicate. D.Humble.
8.Which would be the best title for the text?
A.Discovering fun in a ballet studio. B.Finding strength in my weak body.
C.Accepting myself by fighting illness. D.Embracing my body through ballet.
【答案】5.B 6.A 7.C 8.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者因病痛厌恶身体,后通过芭蕾重新认识、接纳自己的身体,感
悟到身为人类拥有身体的美好。
5.细节理解题。根据第一段“I spent many of these years wishing I were a brain in a vat (培养皿): brains in vats
don’t get let down by their bodies. On account of the pains caused by Lyme disease and endometriosis, I’d find myself
seeking out distraction on a screen, trying to forget I had a body at all.( 在那些年里,我常常希望自己能变成一
个“培养皿里的大脑”:大脑不会因身体的不适而受到影响。由于患有莱姆病和子宫内膜异位症,我常常
会通过屏幕寻求消遣,试图忘却自己拥有身体这一事实。)”可知,作者因莱姆病和子宫内膜异位症饱受身
体疼痛折磨,希望自己只是培养皿里的大脑,是为了摆脱病痛的身体。故选B项。
6.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sue, the studio owner and primary instructor, loved teaching the basics of ballet.
She took extra care to point out when students did something well, and took equal joy in the unique ways they made
mistakes.( 工作室的老板兼主要教练苏热爱教授芭蕾舞的基础知识。她会特别留意学生表现好的地方,并同
样为他们独特的犯错方式而感到欣喜。)”可知,文中提到苏格外用心指出学生的优点,也乐于看待学生犯错的独特方式,说明她细心且善于鼓励支持学生。故选A项。
7.词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“Being human means being … — getting sick and hurt, and getting older
too. (作为人类就意味着会……——会生病、会受伤,也会逐渐衰老。)”可知,划线词后解释“会生病、受
伤、变老”,可推知vulnerable意为“脆弱的”,与C选项delicate“脆弱的,易受伤的”含义相近。故选C
项。
8.主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“But those same bodies that cause us grief also make it possible
to live full and meaningful lives. Ballet continually reminds me that having a body — and being human — is beautiful,
even when it’s hard. And it’s much more fun than being a brain in a vat.( 但正是这些让我们感到痛苦的身体,
却也让我们能够过上充实而有意义的生活。芭蕾舞一直让我明白,拥有身体——作为人类——本身就是一
种美好,即便过程艰难。而且这比把自己困在一个无生命的容器里要有趣得多。)”可知,文章讲述作者因
病痛厌恶身体,后通过芭蕾重新认识、接纳自己的身体,感悟到身为人类拥有身体的美好,D 项“通过芭
蕾拥抱自己的身体”最贴合主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。
