(2023新高考II卷)Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
4. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
5. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape
【答案】4. D5. C6. A7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Abby Jaramillo等老师在低收入学校发起的培养学生科学能力,环保意识以及健康生活方式的Urban Sprouts花园项目,让学生通过体验乡村生活,对学生影响深远。
4.细节理解题。根据第一段的“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.(起初是这样的,艾比·哈拉米洛说,她和另一位老师在四所低收入学校启动了“Urban Sprouts”学校花园项目。)”可知,艾比·哈拉米洛是Urban Sprouts的发起者。故选D。
5.推理判断题。根据第二段的“she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.(她说。“他们来找我们,认为蔬菜很可怕,泥土很可怕,昆虫也很可怕。”虽然有些人一开始害怕昆虫,对泥土感到厌烦,但大多数人都渴望尝试新的东西。)”可知,项目之初,一些学生不喜欢园艺工作。故选C。
6.推理判断题。根据最后一段“She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”(她补充说,该计划好处不仅仅是营养。有些学生对园艺非常感兴趣,他们带回家种子开始自己的菜园。此外,在花园里工作似乎对Jaramillo的特殊教育学生有镇静作用,他们中的许多人都有情绪控制问题。“他们走了出去,”她说,“他们觉得成功。”)”可知,这个项目不仅给学生提供了有营养的食物,而且许多学生回家开创了自己的菜园,对有情绪控制问题的学生也起到了镇静作用,从而推知,该项目的影响是深远的。故选A。
7.主旨大意题。根据第一段的“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.

(2022新高考II卷)We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
24. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
25. Why did the kid poke the storybook
A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
26. What does the author think of himself
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
27. What can we learn about the author as a journalist
A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. B

(2021新高考II卷)I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.
24. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home
A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids.
25. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3
A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way. C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom.
26. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky.
27. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo
A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain.
C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other.
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. B 27. B

24.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. (在全球范围内,动物园里三分之一的苏门答腊老虎幼崽活不到成年,所以我决定在家里全天候照顾它们)”可知,作者把老虎幼崽带回家是为了确保他们的存活。故选A。
25.词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd ”(随着它们的活动越来越多,我们白天让它们在房子里自由活动,但当我们睡觉时,我们必须把它们关在一个大房间里,否则它们会)以及后文“We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.”(我们早上下楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八糟,让它看起来像个动物园。)可知,作者不得不把老虎们关在一个大房间里,否则它们就会调皮捣蛋,表现不好。早上下楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八糟,看起来像个动物园。故画线词意思是“表现不好”。故选A。
26.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.(由于需要大量的精力来照顾它们,事情很快变得非常紧张。有一段艰难的日子,我只是觉得非常累)”可推知,作者认为在家里养小老虎累人。故选B。
27.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go.(当Spot和Stripe四个月大的时候,他们正在学习如何开门和跳栅栏,我们知道是时候让他们离开了)”可知,作者决定把Spot 和Stripe送回动物园是因为他们变得难以控制。故选B。

(2024·江西鹰潭·一模)By the time she was 85 years old, Joy Ryan had never seen the ocean or mountains. Now, she’s 94 years old and has seen every comer of the US after visiting all 63 US national parks. Joy went on the epic journey with her grandson, Brad Ryan, who was first inspired to travel with his grandmother in 2015. “When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, you name it, I thought that was something that I would regret if I didn’t get myself involved in some way,” Brad said. Although they initially planned just to visit the Great Smoky Mountains, they had such a great time that they felt inspired to continue their journey by hitting up all the national parks in the US. “I think we’re two peas in a pod when it comes to our desire for travel and adventure,” Brad said.
The 63rd and final stop on their tour was the National Park of American Samoa. There was a reason why they left this park until the very end. “It’s the only US national park that’s south of the equator. We can enjoy the beautiful tropical paradise,” Brad said, “But as we’ve come to learn from the rangers who work there. American Samoa is an island community that is firmly rooted in family.”
The fact that a grandmother in her 90s completed such a long journey may inspire others, but Brad has always known his grandmother as an inspiration who lives up to her name. “She has already lived from a place of gratitude and joy,” he said. “That’s a power… and a choice that we all have. And I think that’s been my greatest lesson.”

A.Their ambition to set a world record. B.Their fear of having regrets in life.
C.Their shared passion for adventure. D.Their fascination with urban scenery.

And I think that’s been my greatest lesson.’(一位90多岁的祖母完成了如此漫长的旅程,这一事实可能会鼓舞其他人,但Brad一直认为他的祖母是一位名副其实的鼓舞人心的人。他说,‘她已经生活在一个充满感激和喜悦的地方。这是一种力量……也是我们所有人的选择。我认为这是我最大的教训。’)”可知,Brad从祖母那里学到了乐观的品质。故选D项。
(2024·江西赣州·一模)Atop a hill in a garden, three children were having a heated discussion. “It’s not fair!” Mag threw her bike to the ground. “Why won’t you let me have a go ” Paul exchanged glances with his friend Billy, both planning a bike ramp (坡道) for an upcoming stunt (特技) bike competition. “You’re too young for it,” Paul declared. Upset, Mag ran away.
Paul and Billy set out to build a bike ramp out of a wooden board and an upturned metal bucket. One end of the board rested on the ground while the other rested on the bucket. The hilly terrain seemed perfect for their plan. However, each attempt to ride the ramp ended with the board out of place.
Determined to secure the board, Paul rushed to his father’s shed and returned with four leftover house bricks. Placing them strategically, he hoped it would now hold for their stunt attempts.
Paul gave Billy the thumbs up, who was waiting at the hill’s highest point. Billy raised himself off his seat. Riding down, he faced the strong wind, his helmet swinging. Absorbed in their testing, neither noticed Mag approaching with her own plan.
Hidden behind a tree, Mag, seeing her chance, kicked the board off the bucket. Just at that moment, Billy’s bike arrived and he simply could not brake in time. With no ramp, the bike swung violently off course, heading directly toward the shed.
Reacting swiftly, Paul leaped aside, avoiding the bike’s path while Billy hit the shed door with a loud bang. Mag, realizing her fault, began to sob in regret.
“Why did you do that ” Paul, dusting himself down, turned to face his sister. Tearfully, Mag blurted, “You guys said I couldn’t have a go… “
Paul’s anger faded away. He said gently, “You can’t take part in the sport, but you can help us rebuild the ramp.” Smiling weakly, Mag put her hand in her big brother’s. They headed over to help Billy, who was a little shaken but otherwise unhurt.
5.Why did Mag feel “It’s not fair!”
A.She didn’t have a good bike.
B.She was too young to ride a bike.
C.She was refused to build the ramp.
D.She was left out of the stunt bike training.
6.What was Mag’s plan
A.To build her own bike ramp. B.To apologize for her fault.
C.To damage the bike ramp. D.To beg for Paul’s permission.
7.How did Mag feel before witnessing Billy hit the shed door
A.Regretful. B.Cheerful. C.Expectant. D.Angry.
8.What was Paul like in the story
A.Ambitious and selfless. B.Caring and understanding.
C.Warm-hearted and courageous. D.Humble and considerate.
【答案】5.D 6.C 7.D 8.B

5.推理判断题。根据““Why won’t you let me have a go ” Paul exchanged glances with his friend Billy, both planning a bike ramp (坡道) for an upcoming stunt (特技) bike competition.(“你为什么不让我试一试?”Paul和他的朋友比利交换了一下目光,两人都在为即将到来的特技自行车比赛计划一个自行车坡道。)”可知,Mag会觉得“这不公平!”是因为她没能参加特技自行车训练。故选D。
6.细节理解题。根据倒数第五段“Absorbed in their testing, neither noticed Mag approaching with her own plan.(谁也没有注意到马格带着自己的计划走过来。)”和倒数第四段“Hidden behind a tree, Mag, seeing her chance, kicked the board off the bucket.(麦格躲在树后,瞅准机会,把木板从桶上踢了下来。)”“With no ramp, the bike swung violently off course, heading directly toward the shed.”(由于没有坡道,自行车剧烈地偏离了轨道,直接朝车棚冲去。)可知,Mag的计划是破坏自行车坡道。故选C。
7.推理判断题。根据第一段“Upset, Mag ran away.(Mag不高兴地跑开了。)”可知,刚开始Mag很不高兴,再根据倒数第三段“Billy hit the shed door with a loud bang. Mag, realizing her fault, began to sob in regret.(Billy砰的一声撞在小屋的门上。Mag意识到自己的错误,开始后悔地抽泣起来。)”可知,Mag在看到Billy撞在小屋的门上前是生气的,看见那一幕之后是后悔的,故选D。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Paul’s anger faded away. He said gently, “You can’t take part in the sport, but you can help us rebuild the ramp.”(Paul的怒气消了。他温和地说:“你不能参加这项运动,但你可以帮助我们重建坡道。”)”和“They headed over to help Billy, who was a little shaken but otherwise unhurt.(他们走过去帮助比利,他有点发抖,但没有受伤。)”可知,Paul很理解Mag为什么那么做,所以就不生气了,他也很关心Billy的状况,因此可用caring和understanding来描述Paul。故选B。
(2024·江西景德镇·一模)It was a typical summer day in my small town, with the sun shining and the sky clear. I was sitting on my porch, enjoying the peaceful view of the rolling hills and the calm lake, when suddenly a strong wind blew in from the west. The peaceful sky turned dark as a storm approached.
I went inside, grabbing my raincoat and heading to the barn to secure the animals. The cows were nervous, sensing the approaching storm. I quickly tied them up and ran back to the house, just as the rain started to pour down. The wind was howling and the rain was pounding against the windows. Lightning and thunder followed, making the atmosphere even more electric. I sat by the window, watching the raging storm and praying that everything would be okay.
After what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes, the storm passed. The clouds moved away, revealing a bright and sunny sky. I walked outside, taking in the fresh air and surveying the damage. The trees were bent over and some branches had been blown off. Our vegetable garden was flooded, but other than that, everything seemed to be fine. I breathed a sigh of relief as I realized that no serious damage had been done.
That evening, as I sat by the fireplace with a cup of hot coffee, I reflected on the experience. It reminded me that nature can be both powerful and unpredictable, but that we must persevere and adapt to whatever it throws at us. The next morning, as I watched the sun rise over the now-calm landscape, I felt a sense of pride knowing that my family and I had weathered the storm together.

(2024·河南周口·一模)“Software developer at Unidays, internatsonal speaker and enthusastie learner” is how Jess White describes herself on her blog. But it is not a path she’d originally planned to follow. After completing her psychology degree. White took a Master’s in neuro-science (神经科学), fully expecting an academic carcer. But after her interest was raised by the part of the course that involved coding (编码), she decided to take a Master’s course in computer science. She graduated with flying color.
Now 27, White hasn’t looked back. She joined Oakbrook Finance in Nottingham as a software developer, and stayed for two years, rounding off her time there by winning Rising Star of the Year at the 2018 Women in IT awards. At Unidays, a business offering discounts to students, she works as a back end developer in the maintenance team, “working on the systems and making them better”. It’s a job she loves. “It’s a challenge every day and you never get bored. There is always something to learn.” she says.
White believes that some graduates are put off technology careers because they don’t realize the range of jobs available, “A lot of people think tech is programing. But there’s also design product management—and everything in life is to do with tech these days. Whether it’s buying something with your cards or posting something on social media, you can’t really avoid it.”
A common misunderstanding, she says, is that IT is all about maths. “I’m terrible at maths and it scared the living daylights out of me when I started this because I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it,” In practice, it hasn’t been a problem, and she has found that there are a lot of creative elements in programing. Her psychology background has proved to be a bonus, enabling her to bring a different perspective to her work, purticularly when she has to cooperate with user experience designers.
As for the future, White wants to learn as much as she can and become very strong in the area.
13.How many subjects has White learned
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
14.What can we infer from Paragraph three
A.Nothing is impossible because of technology.
B.More graduates are being attracted by technology.
C.Technology contributes to the development of economy.
D.We can’t live a life free from technology nowadaya.
15.What does the underlined word “bonus” in the fourth paragraph mean
A.Extra benefit. B.Strong influence.
C.Unexpected challenge. D.Satisfying income.
16.Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A.Jess White, a Dependable and Helpful 1ady.
B.Jess White, a Talented and Confident Programmer.
C.Jess White, a Curious and Knowledgeable Learner,
D.Jess White, a Hard-working and Proud Expert.
【答案】13.B 14.D 15.A 16.B
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章详细介绍了Jess White的经历、职业转变、观点和态度,着重突出了她作为软件开发者的工作和成就,以及她对科技行业的看法。
13.推理判断题。根据第一段“After completing her psychology degree. White took a Master’s in neuro-science (神经科学), fully expecting an academic carcer. But after her interest was raised by the part of the course that involved coding (编码), she decided to take a Master’s course in computer science. She graduated with flying color.(在完成心理学学位后。怀特获得了神经科学硕士学位,满心期待着能在学术领域大展宏图。但当她对这门课程中涉及编码的部分产生兴趣后,她决定攻读计算机科学硕士课程。她以优异的成绩毕业)”可知,Jess White学习了心理学、神经科学和计算机科学三门学科,因此可以推断出她学习了三门学科。故选B项。
14.推理判断题。根据第三段“White believes that some graduates are put off technology careers because they don’t realize the range of jobs available, “A lot of people think tech is programing. But there’s also design product management—and everything in life is to do with tech these days. Whether it’s buying something with your cards or posting something on social media, you can’t really avoid it.”(White认为,一些毕业生对科技职业望而却步,是因为他们没有意识到可供选择的工作范围很广。“很多人认为科技就是编程。但其实还有产品设计管理——而且如今生活中的一切都与科技息息相关。无论是用信用卡购物还是在社交媒体上发布内容,你都无法真正避开科技。”)”可知,如今生活中的一切都与科技息息相关。无论是用信用卡购物还是在社交媒体上发布内容,你都无法真正避开科技,推知我们现在无法离开科技生活。故选D项、
15.词句猜测题。根据后文“enabling her to bring a different perspective to her work, purticularly when she has to cooperate with user experience designers.(使她能够为她的工作带来不同的视角,特别是当她必须与用户体验设计师合作时)”可知,她的心理学背景使她能够从不同的角度看待她的工作,特别是当她必须与用户体验设计师合作时,推知她的心理学背景给她带来了额外的好处,所以bonus意为“额外的好处”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
16.主旨大意题。根据第一段““Software developer at Unidays, internatsonal speaker and enthusastie learner” is how Jess White describes herself on her blog. But it is not a path she’d originally planned to follow. After completing her psychology degree. White took a Master’s in neuro-science (神经科学), fully expecting an academic carcer. But after her interest was raised by the part of the course that involved coding (编码), she decided to take a Master’s course in computer science. She graduated with flying color.(Jess White在她的博客上这样描述自己:“周末的软件开发人员,国际演说家和热情的学习者。”但这并不是她最初计划要走的路。在完成心理学学位后。怀特获得了神经科学硕士学位,满心期待着能在学术领域大展宏图。但当她对这门课程中涉及编码的部分产生兴趣后,她决定攻读计算机科学硕士课程。她以优异的成绩毕业)”以及纵观全文可知,文章主要介绍了Jess White作为程序员的工作经历和成就,以及她对编程行业的看法和态度,所以B“Jess White, a Talented and Confident Programmer.(Jess White,一个有才华和自信的程序员)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。
(2024·河南郑州·一模)My son just turned 14 and does not have a smartphone. When he graduated from Grade 8, he was the only kid in his class without one. He asks for a phone now that he’s going to high school. I say no, he asks why, I explain, and he pushes back.
“You can choose to do things differently when you’re a parent,” I told him. But sometimes, I wonder if I’m being too stubborn or unfair.
The more I research, the more confident I feel in my decision. Many studies link the current mental health crisis among adolescents to fundamental changes in how they socialize, namely, the shift from in-person to online interaction.
But other mothers challenge my view. “He must feel so left out!” Then there are the parents who tell me sadly that they wish they had delayed their teenager’s phone ownership longer than they did. They urge me to hold out.
If teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 are truly spending an average of 8 hours 39 minutes per day on their devices, as stated in a survey conducted by Common Sense Media, then what are they not doing Kids absorbed in their devices are missing out on real life, and that strikes me as really sad.
I want my son to have a childhood he feels satisfied with and proud of. I want it to be full of adventures, imaginative play and physical challenges which he must sort out himself without asking me for help. The easiest and simplest way to achieve these goals is to delay giving him a smartphone.
Some think my son is missing out or falling behind, but he is not. He does well in school and extra-curricular activities, hangs out with his friends in person, and moves independently around our small town. He promises he’ll give his own 14-year-old a phone someday, and I tell him that’s fine. But recently, he admitted that he missed the beautiful scenery on a drive to a nearby mountain because he had been so absorbed in his friend’s iPad. If that is his version of admitting I’m right, I’ll take it.
17.What does the underlined phrase “pushes back” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Agrees. B.Delays. C.Opposes. D.Persuades.
18.What is the author primarily concerned about regarding giving her son a phone

But sometimes, I wonder if I’m being too stubborn or unfair.(“当你为人父母时,你可以选择以不同的方式做事,”我告诉他。但有时,我会怀疑自己是不是太固执了,还是太不公平了)”可知,作者的儿子要电话时,作者不同意,儿子问为什么之后,作者解释,由第二段作者进一步的解释可推知,作者的儿子仍在进行反对,推测画线短语表示“反对”,与opposes同义。故选C。
18.细节理解题。根据第三段“The more I research, the more confident I feel in my decision. Many studies link the current mental health crisis among adolescents to fundamental changes in how they socialize, namely, the shift from in-person to online interaction.

(2024·安徽淮北·一模)My earliest reading memory takes me back to being five years old, sitting in my grandfather’s cozy study. He would read to me from his French-translated copy of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. I was so familiar with the stories that I could correct him word-for-word if he tried to change something.
Growing up, my favorite book was Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes. It was a treasure for an imaginative and lonely child like me. The book was filled with magical elements: a magical carousel, monsters, and the charming scent of autumn leaves lying in the sun. The language was as crisp and sweet as an October apple, awakening in me a deep passion for words and the magic they could bring out. I’ve reread it regularly and it never fails to satisfy me.
In my adult years, I revisited Emily Bront ’s Wuthering Heights. When I first read it at 16, I perceived it as a love story. However, rereading it as an adult, I was struck by how different it seemed to me, and how much of the humour I’d missed. Now I love its poetry. And the love story not only exists between the characters but between Bront and the North York Moors.
James Joyce’s Ulysses was a book I came back to after 40 years. Initially, at 15, I found it ugly, depressing, and dull, and I hated it. It took me four decades to return to it, and this time, I found myself understanding and beginning to appreciate it. I could see the details, the mythic parallels, the references to different writing styles, and the groundbreaking technique.
Though some exceptional books can develop and grow alongside us, others fall by the wayside. I’ve revisited so many childhood favourites only to find the magic gone, but I’m usually happy to leave the book behind. I’ve taken from it what I need.
25.What was the author’s earliest reading memory
A.Copying the stories of Rudyard Kipling.
B.Reading Something Wicked This Way Comes.
C.Studying Ulysses for writing styles.
D.Listening to The Jungle Book in French.
26.Which part of Wuthering Heights gave the author a different feeling as an adult
A.The complex plot. B.The characters.
C.The humour and poetry. D.The love story.
27.What do the underlined words “fall by the wayside” in the last paragraph mean
A.Remain unchanged over years. B.Lose their original attraction.
C.Gain widespread popularity. D.Are left by the side of the road.
28.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.The Changing Power of Reading
B.The Development of Reading Taste
C.The Lifelong Journey of Rereading Classics
D.The Childhood Memories in Reading Habits
【答案】25.D 26.C 27.D 28.C
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己重温经典的经历。
25.细节理解题。根据第一段的“My earliest reading memory takes me back to being five years old, sitting in my grandfather’s cozy study. He would read to me from his French-translated copy of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book.( 我最早的阅读记忆是5岁时,坐在祖父舒适的书房里。他会给我读他的法语译本《丛林之书》。)”可知,作者最早的阅读记忆是听祖父读法语译本《丛林之书》,故选D。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段的“When I first read it at 16, I perceived it as a love story. However, rereading it as an adult, I was struck by how different it seemed to me, and how much of the humour I’d missed. Now I love its poetry. And the love story not only exists between the characters but between Bront and the North York Moors.(当我16岁第一次读到这本书时,我认为这是一个爱情故事。然而,当我长大后重读它时,我惊讶于它对我来说是多么的不同,以及我错过了多少幽默。现在我喜欢它的诗。这个爱情故事不仅存在于人物之间,也存在于Bront 和北约克摩尔人之间。)”可知,成年后作者再读《呼啸山庄》感觉它不再只是一个爱情故事,作者欣赏其中的幽默并喜欢书里的诗歌。故选C。
27.词句猜测题。根据前文“Though some exceptional books can develop and grow alongside us(虽然一些杰出的书籍可以与我们一起成长,)”可知,前后文是转折关系,因此推断此处讲述一些书籍可以陪伴我们成长,其他的却没有,因此推断画线部分与D项“被遗弃在路边”意思相近。故选D。
28.主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是最后一段的“I’ve revisited so many childhood favourites only to find the magic gone, but I’m usually happy to leave the book behind. I’ve taken from it what I need.(我曾重温过许多童年时的最爱,却发现其中的魔力已不复存在,但我通常很乐意把书留下。我已经从里面拿走了我需要的东西。)”可知,文章作者讲述了自己重温小时候读过的经典书籍的经历。因此推断C项“重读经典的一生之旅”为最佳标题。故选C。
(2024·安徽·一模)Hem an Bekele is not your typical high school student.Rather than spending his free time playing video games or staring at his phone, this 14 year-old from Fairfax, Virginia was calling professors and conducting experiments, all to create a soap that could treat skin cancer, and to make it affordable for everyone who needs it.His work won him the grand prize in this year’s 3M Young Scientist’s Challenge, a competition that encourages kids to think of unique ways to solve everyday problems.
Growing up in Ethiopia, Bekele found in pity that people working outside were likely to end up getting skin cancer.Skin cancer did have cures and was treatable in most cases.However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $40,000.Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution.He started doing experiments and working on different things, and that turned into his bar of soap as a project.
A lot of his research and development started in his family’s kitchen and in his basement.But as he reached the final of the competition, he realized that he did need to do a little bit more outside of just his house.So he reached out to people at University of Virginia and people at Georgetown, and he got a lot of assistance.The number one person would be Deborah Isabelle, who helped him organize and structure his ideas during the finalist competition.Bekele said that he definitely couldn’t have done that all by himself.
Bekele’s award-winning soap is a compound based bar of soap and it’s charged with different cancer fighting chemicals.The color of the soap is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a rough surface, which could be a good exfoliant(去角质剂).It does have a strong medicine smell and feel a bit stickier.The whole point of it is that even once you wash off the soaps, the medicinal parts will stay on your skin.It can activate the body’s immune cells to defend cancer.
Bekele won 25,000 prize money and he was going to use it to continue research.He said, “I still need a lot of resources to be able to conduct this research, so this money will definitely help me achieve it.”
29.Why did Heman Bekele start working on creating the soap
A.Because he thought it was a fun project.
B.Because he wanted to win a science competition.
C.Because he found skin cancer treatment unaffordable.
D.Because he wanted to create a unique soap for everyone.
30.What can we learn from Bekele’s preparations for the final
A.Well begun is half done. B.Learn humbly, ask willingly.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
31.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A.What features the soap has. B.How the soap is used.
C.What chemicals the soap contains. D.How the soap is produced.

(2024·安徽黄山·一模)My Ph.D.(博士学位) adviser had encouraged me to take a vacation. So I was sitting at an airport restaurant, when I received the email. It informed me I had failed my qualifying exam on my second attempt, which meant dismissal from the program. I knew things hadn’t gone perfectly. But I was still shocked. How was it possible that one exam could erase all my other successes and define me as unfit to be a scientist
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started my Ph.D.program. As a first-generation college graduate, I didn’t have family members who could tell me what it was like. I had put in a lot of effort, but it didn’t seem to pay off during my first year.
I ended that year with increased confidence, eager to put my newfound knowledge into action. But my confidence took a plunge shortly thereafter, when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam. I had never taken a presentation before, so the experience was terrifying. I stood in front of my exam committee.
Once it was over, my committee told me I’d conditionally passed, which meant I’d have one more chance. For the next 2 months, I did everything in my power to prepare. When the exam was over, I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief. But those feelings changed to frustration the next day, after I learned I’d failed.
But soon, things started to change. After a series of meetings, faculty members (全体教师) decided to do away with the qualifying exam structure I’d struggled with. Students would be asked questions, so that faculty could learn more about their knowledge and provide constructive feedback.
As a result, I’m now back to working on the program. I try to stay focused on becoming the best scientist I can be. In the end, I am much more than that one-hour exam.
33.What was the author informed of in the email
A.His Ph.D.adviser would leave his program.
B.He was permitted to take a holiday to relax.
C.He didn’t perform well to pass the qualifying exam.
D.His research project had achieved remarkable results.
34.How did the author feel about his first year on the Ph.D.program
A.It was boring. B.It was hopeful. C.It was enjoyable. D.It was challenging.
35.What do the underlined words “took a plunge” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Paid off. B.Failed somebody. C.Experienced a decline. D.Continued to grow.
36.What can we learn about the change
A.Students would not be defined by one exam.
B.Students don’t need to attend qualifying exams.
C.Standards for qualified scientists have been simplified.
D.Students would be given special support from college.

(我努力专注于成为我所能成为的最好的科学家。最后,我比那一个小时的考试要重要得多。)”可知,从作者的经历,我们可以得知学生不会被一次考试所定义。故选A。
(2024·甘肃·一模)Starting to run at 60 has certainly turned my life upside down. I made a bucket list and managed to tick off a few things already. And then I started running.
I heard about a running program in Delhi. It targeted women who had never run before, with the aim of getting non-runners fit enough to run 6 kilometers in 10 weeks.
Despite the painful slowness and my constant out-of-breath state, what emerged from the early morning runs was a definite sense of happiness. At the end of a run, I felt better, happier, and energized. I’d started running because, at my age, I felt I needed to be active, and here I was bursting with energy and getting stronger by the week.
In February this year, I ran my second full marathon and won a gold medal in my category. There was also the silver in my first full marathon and my first half marathon. It’s been a journey of nothing but fun. I run. And I was hooked.
There have been moments of aches and pains, tripping and falling down, but these are nothing compared to the thrill of taking part in your first ever race, at 60. The aches are nothing compared to the energizing rush you get at the end of a run. In the early days, there were also many moments of self-doubt. Those moments were far worse than the occasional aches, but the joy of running quickly outweighed the bad.
Conclusion “Start running” was the best thing to add to my bucket list, and if you haven’t yet done so, please, do it right now.

(2024·甘肃兰州·一模)For the past 8 years, K-9 officer Roni has been by the side of Officer Joel Nitchman of the Deer Park, Texas police department. They’ve been through a lot together, and the cop (警察) thinks of the dog as a member of his own family. Recently, the team had just returned to the station when an EF-3 tornado suddenly formed nearby.
The wind picked up fast. Remembering Roni was still inside his cage in the patrol car, Joel didn’t think twice about rushing outside into the storm to get his partner. “The thought of ruins, or the car flipping over.... I couldn’t do that to him,” said Joel. “I couldn’t have him out there during that.” He felt debris (碎片) hitting his face as he headed into the wind, and he knew the situation was worsening with every passing second.
Conditions worsened even further when Joel made it around to the other side of the car. The wind and rain were so strong that he couldn’t get the door open. When he finally opened it, Roni refused to move. “I could barely open his door,” Joel said. “When I did, he’s a smart dog, he saw what was going on outside and he said I’m not coming out.” With a lot of coaxing (劝诱), Roni finally followed his partner out of the car, and Joel was able to lead him by the collar back into the safety of the station.
“Never been through anything like this before,” Joel said of the frightening event. Now that the danger has passed, he feels even closer to his K-9 partner, and he’d do it all over again, if he had. “I love that dog,” he explained. “He’s a part of our family. We can’t leave a loved one like that. There’s no way I was going to leave him like that.”
Well done, officer! It’s nice to know that these cops have each other’s backs through thick and thin.

(2023新高考II卷)Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
4. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
5. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape
(2022新高考II卷)We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
24. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
25. Why did the kid poke the storybook
A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
26. What does the author think of himself
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
27. What can we learn about the author as a journalist
A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
(2021新高考II卷)I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.
24. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home
A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids.
25. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3
A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way. C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom.
26. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky.
27. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo
A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain.
C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other.

(2024·江西鹰潭·一模)By the time she was 85 years old, Joy Ryan had never seen the ocean or mountains. Now, she’s 94 years old and has seen every comer of the US after visiting all 63 US national parks. Joy went on the epic journey with her grandson, Brad Ryan, who was first inspired to travel with his grandmother in 2015. “When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, you name it, I thought that was something that I would regret if I didn’t get myself involved in some way,” Brad said. Although they initially planned just to visit the Great Smoky Mountains, they had such a great time that they felt inspired to continue their journey by hitting up all the national parks in the US. “I think we’re two peas in a pod when it comes to our desire for travel and adventure,” Brad said.
The 63rd and final stop on their tour was the National Park of American Samoa. There was a reason why they left this park until the very end. “It’s the only US national park that’s south of the equator. We can enjoy the beautiful tropical paradise,” Brad said, “But as we’ve come to learn from the rangers who work there. American Samoa is an island community that is firmly rooted in family.”
The fact that a grandmother in her 90s completed such a long journey may inspire others, but Brad has always known his grandmother as an inspiration who lives up to her name. “She has already lived from a place of gratitude and joy,” he said. “That’s a power… and a choice that we all have. And I think that’s been my greatest lesson.”

(2024·江西赣州·一模)Atop a hill in a garden, three children were having a heated discussion. “It’s not fair!” Mag threw her bike to the ground. “Why won’t you let me have a go ” Paul exchanged glances with his friend Billy, both planning a bike ramp (坡道) for an upcoming stunt (特技) bike competition. “You’re too young for it,” Paul declared. Upset, Mag ran away.
Paul and Billy set out to build a bike ramp out of a wooden board and an upturned metal bucket. One end of the board rested on the ground while the other rested on the bucket. The hilly terrain seemed perfect for their plan. However, each attempt to ride the ramp ended with the board out of place.
Determined to secure the board, Paul rushed to his father’s shed and returned with four leftover house bricks. Placing them strategically, he hoped it would now hold for their stunt attempts.
Paul gave Billy the thumbs up, who was waiting at the hill’s highest point. Billy raised himself off his seat. Riding down, he faced the strong wind, his helmet swinging. Absorbed in their testing, neither noticed Mag approaching with her own plan.
Hidden behind a tree, Mag, seeing her chance, kicked the board off the bucket. Just at that moment, Billy’s bike arrived and he simply could not brake in time. With no ramp, the bike swung violently off course, heading directly toward the shed.
Reacting swiftly, Paul leaped aside, avoiding the bike’s path while Billy hit the shed door with a loud bang. Mag, realizing her fault, began to sob in regret.
“Why did you do that ” Paul, dusting himself down, turned to face his sister. Tearfully, Mag blurted, “You guys said I couldn’t have a go… “
Paul’s anger faded away. He said gently, “You can’t take part in the sport, but you can help us rebuild the ramp.” Smiling weakly, Mag put her hand in her big brother’s. They headed over to help Billy, who was a little shaken but otherwise unhurt.

(2024·江西景德镇·一模)It was a typical summer day in my small town, with the sun shining and the sky clear. I was sitting on my porch, enjoying the peaceful view of the rolling hills and the calm lake, when suddenly a strong wind blew in from the west. The peaceful sky turned dark as a storm approached.
I went inside, grabbing my raincoat and heading to the barn to secure the animals. The cows were nervous, sensing the approaching storm. I quickly tied them up and ran back to the house, just as the rain started to pour down. The wind was howling and the rain was pounding against the windows. Lightning and thunder followed, making the atmosphere even more electric. I sat by the window, watching the raging storm and praying that everything would be okay.
After what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes, the storm passed. The clouds moved away, revealing a bright and sunny sky. I walked outside, taking in the fresh air and surveying the damage. The trees were bent over and some branches had been blown off. Our vegetable garden was flooded, but other than that, everything seemed to be fine. I breathed a sigh of relief as I realized that no serious damage had been done.
That evening, as I sat by the fireplace with a cup of hot coffee, I reflected on the experience. It reminded me that nature can be both powerful and unpredictable, but that we must persevere and adapt to whatever it throws at us. The next morning, as I watched the sun rise over the now-calm landscape, I felt a sense of pride knowing that my family and I had weathered the storm together.

(2024·河南周口·一模)“Software developer at Unidays, internatsonal speaker and enthusastie learner” is how Jess White describes herself on her blog. But it is not a path she’d originally planned to follow. After completing her psychology degree. White took a Master’s in neuro-science (神经科学), fully expecting an academic carcer. But after her interest was raised by the part of the course that involved coding (编码), she decided to take a Master’s course in computer science. She graduated with flying color.
Now 27, White hasn’t looked back. She joined Oakbrook Finance in Nottingham as a software developer, and stayed for two years, rounding off her time there by winning Rising Star of the Year at the 2018 Women in IT awards. At Unidays, a business offering discounts to students, she works as a back end developer in the maintenance team, “working on the systems and making them better”. It’s a job she loves. “It’s a challenge every day and you never get bored. There is always something to learn.” she says.
White believes that some graduates are put off technology careers because they don’t realize the range of jobs available, “A lot of people think tech is programing. But there’s also design product management—and everything in life is to do with tech these days. Whether it’s buying something with your cards or posting something on social media, you can’t really avoid it.”
A common misunderstanding, she says, is that IT is all about maths. “I’m terrible at maths and it scared the living daylights out of me when I started this because I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it,” In practice, it hasn’t been a problem, and she has found that there are a lot of creative elements in programing. Her psychology background has proved to be a bonus, enabling her to bring a different perspective to her work, purticularly when she has to cooperate with user experience designers.
As for the future, White wants to learn as much as she can and become very strong in the area.

(2024·河南郑州·一模)My son just turned 14 and does not have a smartphone. When he graduated from Grade 8, he was the only kid in his class without one. He asks for a phone now that he’s going to high school. I say no, he asks why, I explain, and he pushes back.
“You can choose to do things differently when you’re a parent,” I told him. But sometimes, I wonder if I’m being too stubborn or unfair.
The more I research, the more confident I feel in my decision. Many studies link the current mental health crisis among adolescents to fundamental changes in how they socialize, namely, the shift from in-person to online interaction.
But other mothers challenge my view. “He must feel so left out!” Then there are the parents who tell me sadly that they wish they had delayed their teenager’s phone ownership longer than they did. They urge me to hold out.
If teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 are truly spending an average of 8 hours 39 minutes per day on their devices, as stated in a survey conducted by Common Sense Media, then what are they not doing Kids absorbed in their devices are missing out on real life, and that strikes me as really sad.
I want my son to have a childhood he feels satisfied with and proud of. I want it to be full of adventures, imaginative play and physical challenges which he must sort out himself without asking me for help. The easiest and simplest way to achieve these goals is to delay giving him a smartphone.
Some think my son is missing out or falling behind, but he is not. He does well in school and extra-curricular activities, hangs out with his friends in person, and moves independently around our small town. He promises he’ll give his own 14-year-old a phone someday, and I tell him that’s fine. But recently, he admitted that he missed the beautiful scenery on a drive to a nearby mountain because he had been so absorbed in his friend’s iPad. If that is his version of admitting I’m right, I’ll take it.
17.What does the underlined phrase “pushes back” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Agrees. B.Delays. C.Opposes. D.Persuades.
18.What is the author primarily concerned about regarding giving her son a phone

(2024·安徽淮北·一模)My earliest reading memory takes me back to being five years old, sitting in my grandfather’s cozy study. He would read to me from his French-translated copy of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. I was so familiar with the stories that I could correct him word-for-word if he tried to change something.
Growing up, my favorite book was Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes. It was a treasure for an imaginative and lonely child like me. The book was filled with magical elements: a magical carousel, monsters, and the charming scent of autumn leaves lying in the sun. The language was as crisp and sweet as an October apple, awakening in me a deep passion for words and the magic they could bring out. I’ve reread it regularly and it never fails to satisfy me.
In my adult years, I revisited Emily Bront ’s Wuthering Heights. When I first read it at 16, I perceived it as a love story. However, rereading it as an adult, I was struck by how different it seemed to me, and how much of the humour I’d missed. Now I love its poetry. And the love story not only exists between the characters but between Bront and the North York Moors.
James Joyce’s Ulysses was a book I came back to after 40 years. Initially, at 15, I found it ugly, depressing, and dull, and I hated it. It took me four decades to return to it, and this time, I found myself understanding and beginning to appreciate it. I could see the details, the mythic parallels, the references to different writing styles, and the groundbreaking technique.
Though some exceptional books can develop and grow alongside us, others fall by the wayside. I’ve revisited so many childhood favourites only to find the magic gone, but I’m usually happy to leave the book behind. I’ve taken from it what I need.

(2024·安徽·一模)Hem an Bekele is not your typical high school student.Rather than spending his free time playing video games or staring at his phone, this 14 year-old from Fairfax, Virginia was calling professors and conducting experiments, all to create a soap that could treat skin cancer, and to make it affordable for everyone who needs it.His work won him the grand prize in this year’s 3M Young Scientist’s Challenge, a competition that encourages kids to think of unique ways to solve everyday problems.
Growing up in Ethiopia, Bekele found in pity that people working outside were likely to end up getting skin cancer.Skin cancer did have cures and was treatable in most cases.However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $40,000.Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution.He started doing experiments and working on different things, and that turned into his bar of soap as a project.
A lot of his research and development started in his family’s kitchen and in his basement.But as he reached the final of the competition, he realized that he did need to do a little bit more outside of just his house.So he reached out to people at University of Virginia and people at Georgetown, and he got a lot of assistance.The number one person would be Deborah Isabelle, who helped him organize and structure his ideas during the finalist competition.Bekele said that he definitely couldn’t have done that all by himself.
Bekele’s award-winning soap is a compound based bar of soap and it’s charged with different cancer fighting chemicals.The color of the soap is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a rough surface, which could be a good exfoliant(去角质剂).It does have a strong medicine smell and feel a bit stickier.The whole point of it is that even once you wash off the soaps, the medicinal parts will stay on your skin.It can activate the body’s immune cells to defend cancer.
Bekele won 25,000 prize money and he was going to use it to continue research.He said, “I still need a lot of resources to be able to conduct this research, so this money will definitely help me achieve it.”

(2024·安徽黄山·一模)My Ph.D.(博士学位) adviser had encouraged me to take a vacation. So I was sitting at an airport restaurant, when I received the email. It informed me I had failed my qualifying exam on my second attempt, which meant dismissal from the program. I knew things hadn’t gone perfectly. But I was still shocked. How was it possible that one exam could erase all my other successes and define me as unfit to be a scientist
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started my Ph.D.program. As a first-generation college graduate, I didn’t have family members who could tell me what it was like. I had put in a lot of effort, but it didn’t seem to pay off during my first year.
I ended that year with increased confidence, eager to put my newfound knowledge into action. But my confidence took a plunge shortly thereafter, when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam. I had never taken a presentation before, so the experience was terrifying. I stood in front of my exam committee.
Once it was over, my committee told me I’d conditionally passed, which meant I’d have one more chance. For the next 2 months, I did everything in my power to prepare. When the exam was over, I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief. But those feelings changed to frustration the next day, after I learned I’d failed.
But soon, things started to change. After a series of meetings, faculty members (全体教师) decided to do away with the qualifying exam structure I’d struggled with. Students would be asked questions, so that faculty could learn more about their knowledge and provide constructive feedback.
As a result, I’m now back to working on the program. I try to stay focused on becoming the best scientist I can be. In the end, I am much more than that one-hour exam.
33.What was the author informed of in the email
A.His Ph.D.adviser would leave his program.

A.Paid off. B.Failed somebody. C.Experienced a decline. D.Continued to grow.
36.What can we learn about the change
A.Students would not be defined by one exam.
B.Students don’t need to attend qualifying exams.
C.Standards for qualified scientists have been simplified.
D.Students would be given special support from college.
(2024·甘肃·一模)Starting to run at 60 has certainly turned my life upside down. I made a bucket list and managed to tick off a few things already. And then I started running.
I heard about a running program in Delhi. It targeted women who had never run before, with the aim of getting non-runners fit enough to run 6 kilometers in 10 weeks.
Despite the painful slowness and my constant out-of-breath state, what emerged from the early morning runs was a definite sense of happiness. At the end of a run, I felt better, happier, and energized. I’d started running because, at my age, I felt I needed to be active, and here I was bursting with energy and getting stronger by the week.
In February this year, I ran my second full marathon and won a gold medal in my category. There was also the silver in my first full marathon and my first half marathon. It’s been a journey of nothing but fun. I run. And I was hooked.
There have been moments of aches and pains, tripping and falling down, but these are nothing compared to the thrill of taking part in your first ever race, at 60. The aches are nothing compared to the energizing rush you get at the end of a run. In the early days, there were also many moments of self-doubt. Those moments were far worse than the occasional aches, but the joy of running quickly outweighed the bad.
Conclusion “Start running” was the best thing to add to my bucket list, and if you haven’t yet done so, please, do it right now.

(2024·甘肃兰州·一模)For the past 8 years, K-9 officer Roni has been by the side of Officer Joel Nitchman of the Deer Park, Texas police department. They’ve been through a lot together, and the cop (警察) thinks of the dog as a member of his own family. Recently, the team had just returned to the station when an EF-3 tornado suddenly formed nearby.
The wind picked up fast. Remembering Roni was still inside his cage in the patrol car, Joel didn’t think twice about rushing outside into the storm to get his partner. “The thought of ruins, or the car flipping over.... I couldn’t do that to him,” said Joel. “I couldn’t have him out there during that.” He felt debris (碎片) hitting his face as he headed into the wind, and he knew the situation was worsening with every passing second.
Conditions worsened even further when Joel made it around to the other side of the car. The wind and rain were so strong that he couldn’t get the door open. When he finally opened it, Roni refused to move. “I could barely open his door,” Joel said. “When I did, he’s a smart dog, he saw what was going on outside and he said I’m not coming out.” With a lot of coaxing (劝诱), Roni finally followed his partner out of the car, and Joel was able to lead him by the collar back into the safety of the station.
“Never been through anything like this before,” Joel said of the frightening event. Now that the danger has passed, he feels even closer to his K-9 partner, and he’d do it all over again, if he had. “I love that dog,” he explained. “He’s a part of our family. We can’t leave a loved one like that. There’s no way I was going to leave him like that.”

(2024·新疆乌鲁木齐·一模)I fell in love with rhinos when I worked in a zoo in the 80s, and spent much of the next 20 years as the keeper of the largest captive (圈养的) group of rare black rhinos.
There’s a popular misconception that rhinos are aggressive and stupid, but I found them sensitive and affectionate animals. Weighing over a ton, black rhinos are unexpectedly agile (敏捷的) and have an unpredictable nature — but, given reassurance, they tend to believe people. In the past few decades, their numbers have dropped dramatically. In recent years, I’ve helped look after rhinos being moved to the reserve so they can form new populations in countries that have few left. Last year, I helped on a project to fly five black rhinos from a private reserve in South Africa to the Serengeti National Park. Once there, the animals had to be kept captive for a few weeks to adapt to the new environment, in which time they lived in “bomas” — wooden enclosures with “bedrooms”, designed to create a calm space.
A couple of weeks before their planned release, the sky filled with smoke. Watching the flames rushing through the bush toward the bomas, I froze. Terrified that it would catch fire, my instinct was to release the rhinos, but they hadn’t yet been fitted with transmitters (发信器). If I let them out into a bushfire and they were injured, we’d have great difficulty tracking them down. So I dashed back to the bomas and called the rhinos to the bedrooms. Sensing the fear in my voices, they moved without hesitation and remained astonishingly calm. It was crucial the rhinos didn’t panic — they can easily hurt each other if they do.
That we and the rhinos had escaped safe and sound was a miracle. The teamwork of everybody there played a large part, and the rhinos were very much a part of that team. The relationships we’d built with them had proved crucial — had they or we panicked, all our work would have been in vain.
45.What does the author think of the rhinos
A.They are trusting animals. B.They are highly organized.
C.Their habitats are under threat. D.Their adaptability needs improving.

A.To assist rhinos to settle in. B.To boost tourism in the reserve.
C.To avoid rhinos’ aggressive behavior. D.To stop rhinos from fleeing.
47.How did the author rescue the rhinos
A.By setting them free. B.By tracking them down.
C.By driving them into bomas. D.By fitting them with the transmitters.
48.What contributed most to the safety of the rhinos
A.The keepers’ timely alarm. B.The inborn nature of rhinos.
C.The faith in the keepers’ heart. D.The teamwork between the keepers and the rhinos.
(2024·贵州贵阳·一模)The Luling Mountains in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, used to be a deserted area without even a single tree. Now, it is a leafy paradise for birds, and tourists are flooding in. The huge transformation has occurred thanks to the consistent efforts of Tian Wangui, 67, and his wife Lu Min, 63, over nearly half a century.
In 1982, the couple contracted(承包)the land-use rights of the two mountains near their home. They intended to plant fruit trees in the mountains to make a living. Back then, the mountains were deserted with no trees at all. To help the seedlings(树苗)they planted survive in the barren(贫瘠的)land, the couple had to carry water to the mountains on their backs. They also bought whatever seeds were available from a nearby forest farm and spread them every spring, hoping to afforest the mountains. With such an extensive planting method, however, they initially failed to see many seeds take root in the barren soil. But the couple didn’t give up.
The couple’s perseverance finally paid off. They discovered that some tree species were tough enough to survive, including pine and mulberry. Now, more than 50,000 trees of over 20 species cover the land they contracted, following their consistent efforts to sow tree seeds year after year.
As the mountains became lush(郁郁葱葱), Tian and Lu were charged with a new task-patrolling(巡逻)their nearly 67 hectares of forest every day to prevent fires. The patrol even didn’t stop on the eve of last year’s Chinese Lunar New Year. Instead of watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on Jan. 21st like most Chinese, the couple went to patrol the mountains with the families of their son and daughter. “Many people set off fireworks to mark the arrival of the new year, so the holiday is a time when we have to stay cautious against fire threats,” Tian said.
The couple has no plans to quit their work, and they hope their children will follow in their footsteps. “We cherish the mountains and trees as we cherish our own children,” Lu said. “Even as we grow old, they will continue to patrol the woods and watch over the birds.”

(2024·贵州安顺·一模)I became bald (秃头的) at two due to a condition. At school I was bullied (欺凌) for it. Sports became my escape, and I was fortunate to have born athletic ability. I would race home every day and shoot basketball for hours. I put all my time and energy into basketball to become the best player I could be.
I had a great high-school career, breaking countless school records, and received a scholarship to play in college. It was a dream come true. However, I still rarely talked about my condition. I continued to wear my wig (假发) all the time, no matter the weather or what I was doing.
In my senior year of college, I wanted to run the marathon. During that 26.2-mile run, I felt strong, truly like Superwoman. I will never forget the feeling of crossing the finish line, and the way everyone celebrated me. I began running marathons all over the country. I loved the feeling I got from running and training. I looked forward to my runs in the morning when the rest of the world was still sleeping. This was my chance to reflect, dream big, and enjoy the sound of my feet on the pavement. The more I ran, the stronger and more confident I felt. I slowly started to talk about my condition to close friends.
Then one day, on a hot training run, I threw off my wig while tears welled up in my eyes. For the first time, I felt strong, beautiful, and brave. Getting home that day, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw someone kind, caring and full of joy. Two weeks later, I ran my first marathon wigless and was celebrated and loved during that entire race weekend. I was surrounded by such positivity and support that I didn’t even think of my wigless head. Tears welled in my eyes as I crossed that finish line in San Diego.

(2024·广西南宁·一模)In our family, the presents we gave one another were almost always homemade. I thought that was the definition of a gift: something you made for someone else. We made all our Christmas gifts: piggy banks from old bottles, and puppets from retired socks. It didn’t seem like a hardship to me; it was something special.
My father loves wild strawberries, so for Father’s Day my mother would almost always make him strawberry cakes. While we kids were responsible for the berries, we each got an old jar and spent the Saturday before the celebration in the fields, filling it as more ended up in our mouths. Finally, we returned home and poured them out on the kitchen table to sort out the bugs. I’m sure we missed some, but Dad never mentioned the extra protein.
In fact, he thought that was the best possible present, or so he had us convinced. It was a gift that could never be bought. As children raised by strawberries, we were probably unaware that the gift of berries was from the fields themselves, not from us. Our gift was time, attention, care and “red” fingers.
Gifts from the earth or from each other establish a particular relationship, a duty of sorts to give, to receive, and to exchange. The field gave to us, we gave to my dad, and we tried to give back to the strawberries. When the berry season was done, the plants would send out its red runners to make new plants. So I would weed out little fields of ground where the runners touched down. Sure enough, tiny little roots would emerge from the runner and by the end of the season there were even more plants, ready to bloom under the next strawberry season. No person taught us this — the strawberries showed us. Because they had given us a gift, an ongoing relationship opened between us.
57.What is the author’s belief about a gift
A.It should be practical and valuable. B.It should be luxurious and special.
C.It should be purchased from a store. D.It should be made with personal effort.
58.What did the children do for Father’s Day
A.Making strawberry cakes. B.Finding the sweetest strawberries.
C.Going strawberry picking. D.Baking strawberry cookies.
59.What would the author do to give back to the strawberries
A.Making homemade gifts for her father.
B.Devoting time and attention to the plant.
C.Waiting for the strawberries to get ripe again.
D.Searching for fields for the plants to take roots.
60.What did the strawberries teach the family
A.How to cook with strawberries.
B.The importance of giving and receiving.
C.How to cherish homemade gifts.
D.The procedure of growing strawberries.
(2024·广西·一模)Johannes Fritz, a biologist, needed to come up with a plan, again, if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.
To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis (朱鹭)- -which had once disappeared entirely from the wild on the continent-needs to migrate south for the winter, over the Alps, before the mountains become impassable. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate, and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, Mr. Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. And he was confident he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan because he had done it before.
Mr. Fritz was his young pupils’ sole provider of food, love and cuddles since they’d been just a few days old, and the ibises eagerly followed their teacher. He learned to fly, modifying an ultralight aircraft so it would cruise at speeds slow enough for his winged students to keep up. In 2014, three years after some initially bumpy experiments, Mr. Fritz led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led 15 such migrations. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 young ibises, many of which then started to pass the route on to their own young. For now, however, the main worry is getting the birds to follow the aircraft. “While they have a strong bond with their ‘mothers’ and follow them around on the ground, flying is more difficult, ” Fritz said.
“Fly Away Home was a huge hit with us biologists, ”Mr. Fritz said, recalling the 1996 movie in which characters lead the migration of orphaned Canada geese in a hang glider. When Mr. Fritz proclaimed he’d do the same with the ibises, he was initially ridiculed. But through years of trial and error, he succeeded. He even learned to fly like a bird, he said, soaring with ease. Mr. Fritz’s two sons, both now teenagers, followed their flying father and the migrating birds on the ground, and his family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. But the inevitable risks are “necessary”, Mr. Fritz said.
“It’s not so much a job, ” he added, “but my life’s purpose. ”
