（2024·河北·一模）Given that cancer is one of the deadliest diseases out there, any new development in our fight against it is highly praiseworthy. The latest breakthrough was made by Heman Bekele in 2023, a 14-year-old student from Virginia. The student has created a bar soap to treat skin cancer. Now, his findings have earned him the title of America’s Top Young Scientist.
Bekele remembers he always saw people who were constantly hit by the glaring sun as a child. As he grew up and began to realize the risks like skin cancer were associated with sun exposure, the boy decided to come up with solutions.
While similar treatments are available, Bekele hoped to work on a more affordable alternative, especially for those in developing countries. “I wanted to make my idea something that not only was great in terms of science but also could benefit as many people as possible,” Bekele says. It is often the simple solutions that are the most effective because soap is a daily routine for most people.
With the guidance of Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, Bekele made his soap by mixing regular soap with compounds (化合物) that slowly reactivate dendritic (枝状的) cells. When the soap is applied, it releases toll-like receptors into our skin. These receptors attach onto dendritic cells which reactivate them. The reactivated dendritic cells then join with TN io12 cells to fight cancer cells. Rather than a cure, Bekele’s soap aims to help people’s immune cells stay active while fighting skin cancer.
For now, the young scientist hopes to improve his invention and create a non-profit to distribute the soap among those who need it most. “I believe that young minds can make a positive impact on the world,” Bekele said. “I have a strong desire to know how the physical world works and how to improve the lives of its inhabitants, and this challenge gives me the perfect platform to showcase my ideas.”
1．Why is Bekele’s childhood experience mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To show his genius for scientific creation.
B．To express people’s eagerness for his soap.
C．To explain his motivation to create the soap.
D．To remind people of their similar memories.
2．What does Bekele expect about his soap
A．It can be admirable for the design.
B．It can be available to more people.
C．It will be effective in curing any cancer.
D．It will be pioneering in terms of science.
3．What is paragraph 4 centered on
A．The treatment principle of the soap.
B．The damage caused by skin cancer.
C．The prevention measures of skin cancer.
D．The professional evaluation of the soap.
4．Which of the following can best describe Bekele
A．Creative and loyal.
B．Ambitious and plain.
C．Curious and adaptable.
D．Sympathetic and curious.
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D
【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了2023年，14岁的赫曼 贝克勒因研发出一种能治疗皮肤癌的肥皂而赢得了美国顶尖青年科学家的称号。
1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Bekele remembers he always saw people who were constantly hit by the glaring sun as a child. As he grew up and began to realize the risks like skin cancer were associated with sun exposure, the boy decided to come up with solutions.”（贝克勒记得他小时候经常看到有人被刺眼的太阳晒伤。当他长大后，开始意识到皮肤癌等风险与阳光暴晒有关，这个男孩决定想出解决办法。）可推知，第二段中提到了贝克勒的童年经历是为了解释他创造肥皂的动机。故选C项。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“While similar treatments are available, Bekele hoped to work on a more affordable alternative, especially for those in developing countries. “I wanted to make my idea something that not only was great in terms of science but also could benefit as many people as possible,” Bekele says.”（虽然有类似的治疗方法，但贝克勒希望研究出一种更实惠的替代方法，特别是为发展中国家的人。贝克勒说：“我想让我的想法不仅在科学方面很伟大，而且可以使尽可能多的人受益。”）可知，贝克勒希望研制出一种更经济实惠的对抗皮肤癌的方法，让尽可能多的人受益。故选B项。
3．主旨大意题。根据第四段“When the soap is applied, it releases toll-like receptors into our skin. These receptors attach onto dendritic cells which reactivate them. The reactivated dendritic cells then join with TN io12 cells to fight cancer cells. Rather than a cure, Bekele’s soap aims to help people’s immune cells stay active while fighting skin cancer.”（当使用肥皂时，它会释放toll样受体到我们的皮肤中。这些受体附着在树突细胞上，使它们重新激活。重新激活的树突状细胞然后与TN - io12细胞联合起来对抗癌细胞。比起治愈，贝克勒的肥皂旨在帮助人们的免疫细胞保持活跃，同时对抗皮肤癌。）可知，第四段介绍了贝克勒制作抗癌肥皂的方法，以及它在使用时的治疗原理。故选A项。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“For now, the young scientist hopes to improve his invention and create a non-profit to distribute the soap among those who need it most. “I believe that young minds can make a positive impact on the world,” Bekele said. “I have a strong desire to know how the physical world works and how to improve the lives of its inhabitants, and this challenge gives me the perfect platform to showcase my ideas.””（现在，这位年轻的科学家希望改进他的发明，并创建一个非营利组织，将这种肥皂分发给最需要它的人。贝克勒说：“我相信年轻人可以对世界产生积极的影响。”“我非常想知道物质世界是如何运作的，以及如何改善居民的生活，这个挑战给了我一个完美的平台来展示我的想法。”）可知，贝克希望改进他的发明，并创建一个非营利组织，将抗癌肥皂分发给最需要的人。同时，他说他自己渴望探索世界，造福于人。由此可知，他是一个富有同情心并且充满好奇心的人。故选D项。
（2024·河南·模拟预测）The wind roils the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry away. Dust and chaff funnel into blinding clouds. The clatter of storms overhead makes it impossible to hear, and herds of bison (野牛) grow restless. The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations, and now, it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own. Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born. Not as a visitor, but as the region’s only doctor.
When Susan was 8 years old, she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing in pain. A doctor was called for. They waited. A messenger was sent. The doctor still didn’t come. Susan provided what comfort she could through the night, but by sunrise, the elderly woman had died. The episode both haunted and motivated Susan. She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to what is now Hampton University in Virginia—a historically Black college with a program for native American students. And she finished second in her class.
Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed, full of powwows, buffalo hunts and the people she loved. But there was further to go. She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, a tedious train ride away from the world she knew. It was 1886, and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women. In her graduation speech from Hampton, she told the East Coast audience, “Give us a chance.” Three years later, she became a doctor.
Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task. She opened an office in the government boarding school and began seeing patients. The lines were long, old and young seeking reprieve (缓解) from cholera and tuberculosis (肺结核) as well as a slew of other diseases. Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow, walking miles to make house calls. Her work was more than as a physician. She often acted as lawyer, accountant, priest, political liaison and counselor as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world. And Dr. Susan La Flesche was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.
5．Why was the environment of the plains described in the first Paragraph
A．To arouse readers’ interest.
B．To lead to the topic of the passage.
C．To reflect Susan’s mood.
D．To introduce terrible conditions there.
6．What contributed to Susan’s being a doctor
A．Her poor family.
B．Her desire for knowledge.
C．The opposition to women’s progress.
D．The lack of medical resources in her hometown.
7．What can we infer about Susan from the third paragraph
A．She had an unhappy childhood.
B．She enjoyed the train ride to her college.
C．She got high marks in every exam.
D．She encountered difficulties in her college life.
8．Which words can best describe Susan
A．Serious and brave.
B．Hard-working and helpful.
C．Sensitive and modest.
D．Greedy and self-centred.
【答案】5．B 6．D 7．D 8．B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Susan La Flesche因为家乡缺乏医疗资源于是想要成为一名医生，经过不懈努力完成了大学学业，回到了家乡开始为人民服务。
5．推理判断题。根据第一段“The wind roils the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry away. Dust and chaff funnel into blinding clouds. The clatter of storms overhead makes it impossible to hear, and herds of bison (野牛) grow restless. The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations, and now, it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own. Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born. Not as a visitor, but as the region’s only doctor. (风搅动着中西部平原，好像在寻找什么人或什么东西可以带走。灰尘和箔条进入眩目的云层。头顶上的暴风雨使人听不见，成群的野牛变得焦躁不安。奥马哈部落已经在这片平原上游荡了好几代，现在，风似乎把他们自己的一个部落带回来了。苏珊·拉·弗莱什回到了她出生的村庄。不是作为访客，而是作为当地唯一的医生)”可推知，第一段描述平原的环境是为了引入文章主题。故选B。
6．细节理解题。根据第二段“When Susan was 8 years old, she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing in pain. A doctor was called for. They waited. A messenger was sent. The doctor still didn’t come. Susan provided what comfort she could through the night, but by sunrise, the elderly woman had died. The episode both haunted and motivated Susan.(当苏珊8岁的时候，她在一个痛苦地扭动着的老妇人的床边等着。请了医生。他们等待着。一个信使被派去了。医生仍然没有来。苏珊尽她所能地安慰了她一整夜，但太阳升起时，老妇人已经去世了。这段插曲既困扰着苏珊，也激励着她)”可知，家乡缺乏医疗资源促使苏珊成为一名医生。故选D。
7．推理判断题。根据第三段“But there was further to go. She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, a tedious train ride away from the world she knew. It was 1886, and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women.(但还有更长的路要走。她被宾夕法尼亚女子医学院录取，这是一段远离她熟悉的世界的乏味的火车旅程。那是1886年，维多利亚时代对妇女的进步严加限制)”可知，苏珊的大学生活充满了艰辛。故选D。
8．推理判断题。根据第二段“She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to what is now Hampton University in Virginia-a historically Black college with a program for native American students. And she finished second in her class.(她全身心地投入到学业中，最终进入了现在弗吉尼亚州的汉普顿大学——一所历史悠久的黑人大学，为美国原住民学生开设了一个项目。她在班里得了第二名)”以及最后一段“She opened an office in the government boarding school and began seeing patients. The lines were long, old and young seeking reprieve (缓解) from cholera and tuberculosis (肺结核) as well as a slew of other diseases. Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow, walking miles to make house calls. Her work was more than as a physician. She often acted as lawyer, accountant, priest, political liaison and counselor as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world. And Dr. Susan La Flesche was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.(她在公立寄宿学校开了一间办公室，开始为病人看病。队伍排得很长，老老少少都在寻求治疗霍乱、肺结核以及其他一系列疾病。苏珊在办公室工作很长时间，但也不惧风雪，走几英里路去出诊。她的工作不仅仅是医生。她经常扮演律师、会计、牧师、政治联络员和顾问的角色，帮助奥马哈人在新世界中航行。苏珊·拉·弗莱什博士决心用她的一生帮助她的人民渡过难关)”可推知，苏珊工作努力，乐于助人。故选B。
（2024·河北沧州·一模）When Sourabh Jain first became a father to his daughter, he struggled with bonding with her in the beginning. That’s when he realized that games and books are interactive and provide an opportunity to spend hours with her. Thus he began the hunt for games and toys that not only helped him bond with his daughter but also contributed to her cognitive (认知的) development.
During this search, he realized that not only are these toys and games hard to find, but they can also burn a hole in one’s pocket. Another realization was that there is always some amount of plastic in the toys and it is harmful to the environment and the little ones.
While he expected to give his daughter the world, he also wanted to leave behind a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable world for her. Today, he owns The EleFant—a toy rental company, or in Sourabh’s words, “a labor of love”.
Currently, the company has a customer base of more than 250 subscribers with over 2,000 downloads of the application per day. They also have collaborations with 70 toy companies where they source their toys.
Among these 250 subscribers is Rahul Bhauwala who rents toys for his 6-year-old son. “I am a working professional and I hardly get any time to go out and spend hours looking for and buying toys. I could use that precious time to play with my child instead. This is why I love using The EleFant app. They have a wide range of toys which are categorized by age group. The products are very well-packaged and my son loved opening them as it looked like a present to him,” he says.
As for the future, Sourabh says, “Our intention was not to make it an expensive and exclusive service (专属服务). Instead, we aimed to provide an opportunity for everyone to give their children everything in a sustainable manner. The value is kept in this way, emphasizing inclusivity and accessibility for all.”

Another realization was that there is always some amount of plastic in the toys and it is harmful to the environment and the little ones.(在搜寻过程中，他意识到这些玩具和游戏不仅很难找到，而且还会让一个人的口袋烧个洞。另一个认识是，玩具中总会有一定量的塑料，这对环境和小孩子有害)”可知，Sourabh在为女儿寻找玩具时发现环保玩具很难找到。故选B。
10．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I could use that precious time to play with my child instead. This is why I love using The EleFant app.(我可以用这宝贵的时间和我的孩子一起玩。这就是我喜欢使用The EleFant应用程序的原因)”可知，使用The EleFant app可以帮助他节约时间，即是便利更吸引他。故选A。
11．细节理解题。根据最后一段“As for the future, Sourabh says, “Our intention was not to make it an expensive and exclusive service (专属服务).

12．推理判断题。根据第三段“While he expected to give his daughter the world, he also wanted to leave behind a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable world for her.(虽然他希望给女儿一个世界，但他也想给她留下一个更清洁、更环保、更可持续的世界)”可知，Sourabh希望给自己的女儿一个可持续的、更干净清洁的世界， 说明他是有责任感的；根据第四段“Currently, the company has a customer base of more than 250 subscribers with over 2,000 downloads of the application per day.

（2024·吉林·三模）It wasn’t until after I graduated from college, and realized that there’s no such thing as all-encompassing (包罗万象) knowledge, that I was able to read for pleasure. A sense of curiosity directed me and I started to see dictionaries as field guides to the life of language. Looking up words felt less like a failing than an admission that there are lots of things I don’t know and an opportunity to discover just how many.
I prize my 1954 copy of Webster’s New International Dictionary, Second Edition. I often consult it, during evening games of Scrabble or midday magazine reading. When I come across unfamiliar words while reading novels, I look them up. When I start encountering these words elsewhere, the linguistic (语言的) universe seems to shrink to the size of a small town.
Dictionaries heighten my senses: They direct my attention into a conversation with language. They make me wonder what other things I’m blind to because I haven’t taught myself to notice them yet. Recently spotted examples include orrery, “a mechanical model, usually clockwork, devised to represent the motions of the moon and Earth (and sometimes also other planets) around the sun.” The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) also tells me that the word comes from the fourth Earl of Orrery, for whom a copy of the first machine was made, around 1700. Useful Obviously not. Satisfying Deeply.
Wikipedia and Google answer questions with more questions, opening up pages you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain complex ones. Using one feels as if I’m prying open an oyster (蚝) rather than falling down a rabbit hole. Why leave solvable mysteries up to guesswork
For me, dictionaries are a door into that kind of uncalculated knowledge-seeking. They remind me that following your curiosity instead of brushing it aside is one of the best ways I know to feel connected to more than what’s right in front of you.
13．What can we know about the author
A．He merely read for fun before graduation.
B．He longed to learn about all knowledge.
C．He considered dictionaries chances of enrichment.
D．He admitted being a failure when learning languages.
14．Why does the author mention the example of orrery in paragraph 3
A．To introduce a word.
B．To indicate a finding.
C．To clarify a concept.
D．To support a statement.
15．What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Encountering new problems.
B．Entering a different world.
C．Acquiring essential common sense.
D．Simplifying tough questions.
16．According to the passage, which of the following can best describe dictionaries
A．Jaw-dropping. B．Eye-opening. C．Mind-numbing. D．Labour-saving.
【答案】13．C 14．D 15．A 16．B
【导语】本文为记叙文，讲述了使用词典给作者带来的好处。
13．细节理解题。根据第一段“Looking up words felt less like a failing than an admission that there are lots of things I don’t know and an opportunity to discover just how many.(查单词与其说是一种失败，不如说是一种承认，我不知道的东西很多，而且有机会发现到底有多少)”可知，作者认为字典有丰富知识的机会。故选C。
14．推理判断题。根据第三段“They make me wonder what other things I’m blind to because I haven’t taught myself to notice them yet. Recently spotted examples include orrery, “a mechanical model, usually clockwork, devised to represent the motions of the moon and Earth (and sometimes also other planets) around the sun.”(它们让我怀疑还有什么东西是我视而不见的，因为我还没有教会自己去注意它们。最近发现的例子包括orrery：“一种机械模型，通常是发条装置，用来表示月球和地球(有时也包括其他行星)围绕太阳的运动。”)”可推知，作者在第3段提到了orrery的例子是为了支持一项声明。故选D。
15．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Wikipedia and Google answer questions with more questions, opening up pages you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain complex ones.(维基百科和谷歌用更多的问题回答问题，打开你从未问过的页面。但是字典建立在常识的基础上，用简单的词来解释复杂的词)”可知，词典可以简洁的方式解释复杂的问题，而其他网站则以更多的问题来回答你的问题，没有达到解决的目的。由此可知falling down a rabbit hole 意指没有解决问题反而遇到新的问题。可知，故选A。
16．推理判断题。根据最后一段“For me, dictionaries are a door into that kind of uncalculated knowledge-seeking. They remind me that following your curiosity instead of brushing it aside is one of the best ways I know to feel connected to more than what’s right in front of you.(对我来说，字典是一扇通往那种未经计算的求知之门。他们提醒我，跟随你的好奇心，而不是置之不理，是我所知道的最好的方式之一，让你觉得自己与眼前的事物有更多的联系)”可推知，词典丰富了知识，打开了作者的视野。故选B。
（2024·陕西·二模）The ability to walk is the sort of thing many people take for granted, but for Ella Weiske, it’s a monumental achievement. Ella was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and requires a wheelchair to get around, yet she always dreamed of walking across the stage to collect her high school diploma on her own two feet.
In spring of 2023, Ella finally got that chance! The teenager spent months before her graduation from Ripon High School in Wisconsin building strength and practicing walking on an innovative new device called a Trexo. All of her efforts were worth it when she stepped onto the stage to a standing ovation (起立鼓掌) from teachers and students.
Walking on graduation day was important to Ella so her family raised $45,000 with an online fundraiser to buy the Trexo device, which is a wearable robot designed to help children walk. The device is controlled by a tablet, and it helps Ella gently move her legs. She can adjust how much support is needed, walk angles, and speed.
Ella says just the feeling of her feet hitting the floor makes her happy, but it’s the independence the device offers that gets her really excited. She dreams of hanging around downtown, going to her brother’s baseball games, and opening up her world with help from her robotic legs. But first, graduation!
On the big day, Ella was able to use her Trexo device to walk across the stage with the other members of the class of 2023. The entire school body was on their feet, cheering for her, as she collected her diploma with help from her sister, Liz Weiske. It was an emotional moment for the teachers and students who have rooted for Ella for the past 4 years.
Just graduating is an achievement on its own, but Ella’s life-changing walk meant so much to her, and to everyone who knows and loves her. We’re so proud of Ella for working hard to accomplish her goals.
17．What words can best describe Ella Weiske
A．Caring and responsible. B．Honest and reliable.
C．Ambitious and hardworking. D．Intelligent and creative.
18．What did Ella gain from the help of the Trexo device
A．A responsibility to help others. B．A sense of living independently.
C．An ability to deliver a public speech. D．An opportunity for further education.
19．How did the school staff feel about Ella’s walking on the stage
A．Embarrassing. B．Doubtful. C．Inspiring. D．Romantic.
20．What lesson can we learn from Ella’s experience
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Many hands make light work.
C．Misfortune may be an actual blessing.
D．Everything is possible to a willing mind.
【答案】17．C 18．B 19．C 20．D

（2024·内蒙古包头·二模）It was a cold May morning when I received an email from an old friend inviting me to join a 10-day all-girls surf trip. I knew I had to say yes. The trip seemed simple enough. 10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my past 33 years, it’s that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they’ve done before. It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more about less. Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also kind of ends up leaving some skills lacking.
I met my new surfing companions on the grass of the hotel lawn in a small surf town called Ericeira. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow.
The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride.
Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humility (谦虚) that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my lifelong passion, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
21．What inspired the author to join the surf trip
A．Her love for seashore surfing.
B．Her desire to make new friends.
C．Her need to take a break from work.
D．Her passion for exploring something new.
22．What does the author think of adults’ focusing on mastering one field
A．It hurts one’s pride.
B．It narrows one’s potential.
C．It promotes one’s career success.
D．It broadens one’s view of the world.
23．Which words can best describe the author’s surfing experience
A．Relaxing but dangerous.
B．Tough and uninteresting.
C．Challenging but rewarding.
D．Surprising and unforgettable.
24．What can be inferred about the author

B．She determined to become an expert surfer.
C．She discovered her lifelong passion after the trip.
D．She was more willing to try new experiences in life.

（2024·重庆·二模）What’s the truth of joy I was obsessed with this question when I was young. However,ever since I started my own family, this quest has been buried under my workloads and daily chores.
In 2008, Memorial Day weekend promised to deliver beautiful weather—not always the case at that time of year, so I decided to spend that Saturday shopping and do one big cleaning, starting with the garage. Our two-car garage, as always, was full of stuff. Boxes piled one on top of another, bikes crossed together. A garden hose (软水管) sat in a corner. We had to turn sideways when getting in and out. I planned to pull everything out on the driveway, hose down the entire garage, and after it was dry, put everything back more organized.
With the morning moving along, the possibility to finish the cleaning within the day began to look less and less likely. I recalled how I had been feeling discontented lately while taking care of our stuff. Here was yet another time！Then my neighbor June, who was working in her yard, heard my sigh and said jokingly, “The joy of home ownership, huh That’s why my daughter keeps telling me I don’t need to own all this stuff.”
I don’t need to own all this stuff.
As I turned to look at the fruits of my morning labor, I began to recognize the source of my feelings for the first time. It was piled up in my driveway. As I surveyed the pile I made, the answer to the obsolete (被遗忘的) question came to light: There is more joy to be found in possessing less than we can ever find possessing more.
I ran inside the house and found my wife upstairs cleaning the bathtub. Still trying to catch my breath, tI said, “Kim, you’ll never guess what just happened. June said we don’t need to own all this stuff！”
And in that moment, a minimalist family was born.

（2024·广东湛江·二模）Lexi is just a little girl from Canada who found herself in a heart-stopping situation. It started off as a normal car trip. Angela Shymanski, Lexi’s mom, was at the wheel, navigating the tricky roads of the Rockies with her daughter Lexi and her baby Peter in the car. An unexpected animal ran into the road.

Lexi’s dad, reflecting on the incident, couldn’t help but be amazed by his daughter’s bravery. He stressed how important it is for kids to be prepared for emergencies, shocked at how Lexi remembered and acted on what she had been taught. It’s a powerful reminder of what kids can do when push comes to shove.

（2024·全国·二模）Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.”
Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses—and the pressure.
She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.
33．Why did Kristin Schell start the movement
A．To host more parties in her front yard. B．To entertain her friends and neighbors.
C．To engage with people in the neighbourhood. D．To create harmonious communities worldwide.
34．Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text
A．Creative and sociable. B．Friendly and humorous.
C．Generous and ambitious. D．Cautious and responsible.
35．What can be inferred from the text
A．People don’t like others to step into their houses.
B．The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad.
C．Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party.
D．People feel unwilling to join in the front ya rd chat at first.

C．Happy Front Yard Time D．Tables Where All Are Welcome

（2024·重庆·二模）Baseball was everything to Walker Smallwood. But when he was just 14 years old, he got heartbreaking news that he had a rare form of bone cancer growing in his left leg. His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays.
The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option. “At the time I guess I was just kind of in denial, because my whole life, day in and day out, was built around baseball and sports,” Walker said. “It was pretty disastrous,” his mom, Pam said. The most the 17-year-old would be able to do is play catch with his teammates as they warmed up for their games.
As the team approached the final game of the season, Walker’s parents and coach agreed that he could pitch (投球) for an inning (一局) or two for the old time’s sake.
“Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened,” Walker said.
What ended up happening was more than anyone ever expected. Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened. Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process.
“I was in tears, most of the stands were in tears — just one of those special moments that we’ll cherish forever,” mom Pam said. Smallwood may never play again. He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.
37．What does the word “It” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The serious injury to his leg. B．The childhood baseball dream.
C．The risk of multiple surgeries. D．The long-term mental stress.
38．Which of the following best describes Walker Smallwood
A．Confident and energetic. B．Ambitious and determined.
C．Brilliant and considerate. D．Optimistic and independent.
39．Why does the author mention a World Series ring in the last paragraph
A．To emphasize the value of cherishing every moment.
B．To stress the significance of any championship prize.
C．To highlight Walker’s personal success at the game.
D．To serves as a reminder of challenges in Walker’s life.
40．What can we learn from Walker’s story
A．Misfortune can tell us what fortune is. B．You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
C．Constant dropping wears away a stone. D．What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
【答案】37．A 38．B 39．C 40．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，本文介绍了17岁男孩 Walker Smallwood 因患一种罕见的癌症不得不放弃棒球运动。他重返球场参加最后一场比赛，投出了一个无安打的球，震惊所有人。
37．词句猜测题。根据前两段以及“The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option.(这位年轻投手的腿永远不会强壮到足以让他参加比赛)”可知，Walker一直梦想成为职业棒球手，但因癌症造成腿部伤害，无力支持高强度运动，妈妈因此想表达这简直是灾难性的，所以 it 在这里就是指代前面的癌症使得他的腿受伤无力这件事。故选A。
38．推理判断题。根据第四段“Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened(说你做到了，找点乐子，然后就行了。显然，事实并非如此)”和第五段中“Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened.(Walker不仅在第一局投出了稳定的球，而且他最终投出了无安打。教练决定让他留在比赛中，直到他开始放弃投球，但这并没有发生)”可知，Walker在得知有机会参加最后一场比赛后，就决心不只是去玩玩，而是认真打比赛。结果他投出了一个无安打的球，超出所有人的预期。从这里可以看出这位年轻投手有追求，有决心，也很努力， 棒球是他一生的追求，说明他很有雄心壮志。故选B。
39．推理判断题。从文章最后一段“Smallwood may never play again. He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.(Smallwood可能再也不会上场了。他现在已经接受了，因为当你已经打败了你最大的竞争对手并且保持不败时，谁还需要一个世界大赛戒指呢)”可知，作者是为了强调 Smallwood 当天在棒球场上的成就超过了任何冠军奖的意义。一枚世界大赛戒指是棒球终极成就的象征，但Smallwood克服癌症带来的伤痛，投出一个无安打的球，所向无敌，其它荣誉何足挂齿。 虽然他可能再也不能打球了，但他并不感到失落。故选C。
40．推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays.(在接下来的三年里，他经历了6次手术、24次治疗和18次住院，他的棒球生涯戛然而止)”和倒数第二段中“Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process.(Smallwood在整场比赛中三振了除两名击球手外的所有人，并在此过程中追平了学校的记录)”可知，本文介绍了17岁男孩 Walker Smallwood 因患一种罕见的癌症不得不放弃棒球运动。他重返球场参加最后一场比赛，投出了一个无安打的球，震惊所有人。D项“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.(那些杀不死你的，终将使你更强大)”符合题意，无法打败你的事情才能让你更坚强，点明中心。故选D。
（2024·湖南衡阳·二模）Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023.
With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years.
To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom.
41．What can be learned from paragraph 1
A．Omar’s family often assisted people in need.
B．Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches.
C．Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much.
D．Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young.
42．How did most people react to the increasing sargassum

（2024·全国·模拟预测）One cold morning in early 2015, Lauren Passell was on her way to work. She’d been training hard for an upcoming marathon, and was limping slightly from a pain in her hip. She figured it was nothing serious. But it turned out to be a hairline stress fracture (发际应力性骨折).
So, when Passell slipped on the icy New York City sidewalk, she broke her hip. As she tried to get her bearings, a stranger emerged from the crowd and knelt beside her.
“All I remember is seeing her kind face, all bundled up, with a big hat and scarf,” Passell recalled. “She pushed everyone out of the way and said, ‘I’ve got this.’”
The woman introduced herself as Sharon Evans. As Evans helped Passell up, all Passell could think about was that she needed to get to work. But she was in terrible pain, and could barely stand. Seeing this, Evans told Passell to stay put while she called a cab.
Once the cab arrived, Evans got in with her. Passell tried to tell her that it wasn’t necessary. But Evans insisted. When the cab pulled up to the hospital, Evans took charge again.
She said, “You know what, I’m going to get the wheelchair for you and I’ll wheel you in.”
Evans didn’t just go into the hospital with Passell. She helped her fill out the paperwork, and even took Passell to the bathroom. Each time, Passell tried to persuade Evans to leave, to get to work. And each time, Evans refused.
Once it was time for Passell to be seen by doctors, Evans left. It turned out that Passell’s condition was grave. The doctors told her that she could have suffered due to complications from blood clots if she had not been sent there earlier.
Passell not only recovered, but ran a half marathon the next year. She says she owes this to Evans and that she hopes one day she could pick someone off the sidewalk.
45．What caused Passell’s pain in the hip according to Paragraph 1
A．The old injury.
B．The work stress.
C．The cold weather.
D．The intensive running.

（2024·河北·一模）Given that cancer is one of the deadliest diseases out there, any new development in our fight against it is highly praiseworthy. The latest breakthrough was made by Heman Bekele in 2023, a 14-year-old student from Virginia. The student has created a bar soap to treat skin cancer. Now, his findings have earned him the title of America’s Top Young Scientist.
Bekele remembers he always saw people who were constantly hit by the glaring sun as a child. As he grew up and began to realize the risks like skin cancer were associated with sun exposure, the boy decided to come up with solutions.
While similar treatments are available, Bekele hoped to work on a more affordable alternative, especially for those in developing countries. “I wanted to make my idea something that not only was great in terms of science but also could benefit as many people as possible,” Bekele says. It is often the simple solutions that are the most effective because soap is a daily routine for most people.
With the guidance of Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, Bekele made his soap by mixing regular soap with compounds (化合物) that slowly reactivate dendritic (枝状的) cells. When the soap is applied, it releases toll-like receptors into our skin. These receptors attach onto dendritic cells which reactivate them. The reactivated dendritic cells then join with TN io12 cells to fight cancer cells. Rather than a cure, Bekele’s soap aims to help people’s immune cells stay active while fighting skin cancer.
For now, the young scientist hopes to improve his invention and create a non-profit to distribute the soap among those who need it most. “I believe that young minds can make a positive impact on the world,” Bekele said. “I have a strong desire to know how the physical world works and how to improve the lives of its inhabitants, and this challenge gives me the perfect platform to showcase my ideas.”
1．Why is Bekele’s childhood experience mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To show his genius for scientific creation.
B．To express people’s eagerness for his soap.
C．To explain his motivation to create the soap.
D．To remind people of their similar memories.
2．What does Bekele expect about his soap
A．It can be admirable for the design.
B．It can be available to more people.
C．It will be effective in curing any cancer.
D．It will be pioneering in terms of science.
3．What is paragraph 4 centered on
A．The treatment principle of the soap.
B．The damage caused by skin cancer.
C．The prevention measures of skin cancer.
D．The professional evaluation of the soap.
4．Which of the following can best describe Bekele
A．Creative and loyal.
B．Ambitious and plain.
C．Curious and adaptable.
D．Sympathetic and curious.
（2024·河南·模拟预测）The wind roils the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry away. Dust and chaff funnel into blinding clouds. The clatter of storms overhead makes it impossible to hear, and herds of bison (野牛) grow restless. The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations, and now, it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own. Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born. Not as a visitor, but as the region’s only doctor.
When Susan was 8 years old, she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing in pain. A doctor was called for. They waited. A messenger was sent. The doctor still didn’t come. Susan provided what comfort she could through the night, but by sunrise, the elderly woman had died. The episode both haunted and motivated Susan. She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to what is now Hampton University in Virginia—a historically Black college with a program for native American students. And she finished second in her class.
Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed, full of powwows, buffalo hunts and the people she loved. But there was further to go. She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, a tedious train ride away from the world she knew. It was 1886, and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women. In her graduation speech from Hampton, she told the East Coast audience, “Give us a chance.” Three years later, she became a doctor.
Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task. She opened an office in the government boarding school and began seeing patients. The lines were long, old and young seeking reprieve (缓解) from cholera and tuberculosis (肺结核) as well as a slew of other diseases. Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow, walking miles to make house calls. Her work was more than as a physician. She often acted as lawyer, accountant, priest, political liaison and counselor as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world. And Dr. Susan La Flesche was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.
5．Why was the environment of the plains described in the first Paragraph
A．To arouse readers’ interest.
B．To lead to the topic of the passage.
C．To reflect Susan’s mood.
D．To introduce terrible conditions there.
6．What contributed to Susan’s being a doctor
A．Her poor family.
B．Her desire for knowledge.
C．The opposition to women’s progress.
D．The lack of medical resources in her hometown.
7．What can we infer about Susan from the third paragraph
A．She had an unhappy childhood.
B．She enjoyed the train ride to her college.
C．She got high marks in every exam.
D．She encountered difficulties in her college life.
8．Which words can best describe Susan
A．Serious and brave.
B．Hard-working and helpful.
C．Sensitive and modest.
D．Greedy and self-centred.
（2024·河北沧州·一模）When Sourabh Jain first became a father to his daughter, he struggled with bonding with her in the beginning. That’s when he realized that games and books are interactive and provide an opportunity to spend hours with her. Thus he began the hunt for games and toys that not only helped him bond with his daughter but also contributed to her cognitive (认知的) development.
During this search, he realized that not only are these toys and games hard to find, but they can also burn a hole in one’s pocket. Another realization was that there is always some amount of plastic in the toys and it is harmful to the environment and the little ones.
While he expected to give his daughter the world, he also wanted to leave behind a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable world for her. Today, he owns The EleFant—a toy rental company, or in Sourabh’s words, “a labor of love”.
Currently, the company has a customer base of more than 250 subscribers with over 2,000 downloads of the application per day. They also have collaborations with 70 toy companies where they source their toys.
Among these 250 subscribers is Rahul Bhauwala who rents toys for his 6-year-old son. “I am a working professional and I hardly get any time to go out and spend hours looking for and buying toys. I could use that precious time to play with my child instead. This is why I love using The EleFant app. They have a wide range of toys which are categorized by age group. The products are very well-packaged and my son loved opening them as it looked like a present to him,” he says.
As for the future, Sourabh says, “Our intention was not to make it an expensive and exclusive service (专属服务). Instead, we aimed to provide an opportunity for everyone to give their children everything in a sustainable manner. The value is kept in this way, emphasizing inclusivity and accessibility for all.”
9．What did Sourabh find when searching for toys for his daughter
A．Pockets often get damaged by toys. B．Eco-friendly toys are hard to find.
C．Toys could bond him with his daughter. D．Toys do good to cognitive development.
10．What aspect of The EleFant attracted Rahul Bhauwala most

（2024·吉林·三模）It wasn’t until after I graduated from college, and realized that there’s no such thing as all-encompassing (包罗万象) knowledge, that I was able to read for pleasure. A sense of curiosity directed me and I started to see dictionaries as field guides to the life of language. Looking up words felt less like a failing than an admission that there are lots of things I don’t know and an opportunity to discover just how many.
I prize my 1954 copy of Webster’s New International Dictionary, Second Edition. I often consult it, during evening games of Scrabble or midday magazine reading. When I come across unfamiliar words while reading novels, I look them up. When I start encountering these words elsewhere, the linguistic (语言的) universe seems to shrink to the size of a small town.
Dictionaries heighten my senses: They direct my attention into a conversation with language. They make me wonder what other things I’m blind to because I haven’t taught myself to notice them yet. Recently spotted examples include orrery, “a mechanical model, usually clockwork, devised to represent the motions of the moon and Earth (and sometimes also other planets) around the sun.” The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) also tells me that the word comes from the fourth Earl of Orrery, for whom a copy of the first machine was made, around 1700. Useful Obviously not. Satisfying Deeply.
Wikipedia and Google answer questions with more questions, opening up pages you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain complex ones. Using one feels as if I’m prying open an oyster (蚝) rather than falling down a rabbit hole. Why leave solvable mysteries up to guesswork
For me, dictionaries are a door into that kind of uncalculated knowledge-seeking. They remind me that following your curiosity instead of brushing it aside is one of the best ways I know to feel connected to more than what’s right in front of you.
13．What can we know about the author
A．He merely read for fun before graduation.
B．He longed to learn about all knowledge.
C．He considered dictionaries chances of enrichment.
D．He admitted being a failure when learning languages.
14．Why does the author mention the example of orrery in paragraph 3
A．To introduce a word.
B．To indicate a finding.
C．To clarify a concept.
D．To support a statement.
15．What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Encountering new problems.
B．Entering a different world.
C．Acquiring essential common sense.
D．Simplifying tough questions.
16．According to the passage, which of the following can best describe dictionaries
A．Jaw-dropping. B．Eye-opening. C．Mind-numbing. D．Labour-saving.
（2024·陕西·二模）The ability to walk is the sort of thing many people take for granted, but for Ella Weiske, it’s a monumental achievement. Ella was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and requires a wheelchair to get around, yet she always dreamed of walking across the stage to collect her high school diploma on her own two feet.
In spring of 2023, Ella finally got that chance! The teenager spent months before her graduation from Ripon High School in Wisconsin building strength and practicing walking on an innovative new device called a Trexo. All of her efforts were worth it when she stepped onto the stage to a standing ovation (起立鼓掌) from teachers and students.
Walking on graduation day was important to Ella so her family raised $45,000 with an online fundraiser to buy the Trexo device, which is a wearable robot designed to help children walk. The device is controlled by a tablet, and it helps Ella gently move her legs. She can adjust how much support is needed, walk angles, and speed.
Ella says just the feeling of her feet hitting the floor makes her happy, but it’s the independence the device offers that gets her really excited. She dreams of hanging around downtown, going to her brother’s baseball games, and opening up her world with help from her robotic legs. But first, graduation!
On the big day, Ella was able to use her Trexo device to walk across the stage with the other members of the class of 2023. The entire school body was on their feet, cheering for her, as she collected her diploma with help from her sister, Liz Weiske. It was an emotional moment for the teachers and students who have rooted for Ella for the past 4 years.
Just graduating is an achievement on its own, but Ella’s life-changing walk meant so much to her, and to everyone who knows and loves her. We’re so proud of Ella for working hard to accomplish her goals.
17．What words can best describe Ella Weiske
A．Caring and responsible. B．Honest and reliable.
C．Ambitious and hardworking. D．Intelligent and creative.
18．What did Ella gain from the help of the Trexo device
A．A responsibility to help others. B．A sense of living independently.
C．An ability to deliver a public speech. D．An opportunity for further education.
19．How did the school staff feel about Ella’s walking on the stage

20．What lesson can we learn from Ella’s experience
A．Practice makes perfect.

C．Misfortune may be an actual blessing.
D．Everything is possible to a willing mind.
（2024·内蒙古包头·二模）It was a cold May morning when I received an email from an old friend inviting me to join a 10-day all-girls surf trip. I knew I had to say yes. The trip seemed simple enough. 10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my past 33 years, it’s that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they’ve done before. It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more about less. Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also kind of ends up leaving some skills lacking.
I met my new surfing companions on the grass of the hotel lawn in a small surf town called Ericeira. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow.
The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride.
Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humility (谦虚) that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my lifelong passion, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
21．What inspired the author to join the surf trip
A．Her love for seashore surfing.
B．Her desire to make new friends.
C．Her need to take a break from work.
D．Her passion for exploring something new.
22．What does the author think of adults’ focusing on mastering one field
A．It hurts one’s pride.
B．It narrows one’s potential.
C．It promotes one’s career success.
D．It broadens one’s view of the world.
23．Which words can best describe the author’s surfing experience
A．Relaxing but dangerous.
B．Tough and uninteresting.
C．Challenging but rewarding.
D．Surprising and unforgettable.
24．What can be inferred about the author
A．She used to lack confidence in herself.
B．She determined to become an expert surfer.
C．She discovered her lifelong passion after the trip.
D．She was more willing to try new experiences in life.
（2024·重庆·二模）What’s the truth of joy I was obsessed with this question when I was young. However,ever since I started my own family, this quest has been buried under my workloads and daily chores.
In 2008, Memorial Day weekend promised to deliver beautiful weather—not always the case at that time of year, so I decided to spend that Saturday shopping and do one big cleaning, starting with the garage. Our two-car garage, as always, was full of stuff. Boxes piled one on top of another, bikes crossed together. A garden hose (软水管) sat in a corner. We had to turn sideways when getting in and out. I planned to pull everything out on the driveway, hose down the entire garage, and after it was dry, put everything back more organized.
With the morning moving along, the possibility to finish the cleaning within the day began to look less and less likely. I recalled how I had been feeling discontented lately while taking care of our stuff. Here was yet another time！Then my neighbor June, who was working in her yard, heard my sigh and said jokingly, “The joy of home ownership, huh That’s why my daughter keeps telling me I don’t need to own all this stuff.”
I don’t need to own all this stuff.
As I turned to look at the fruits of my morning labor, I began to recognize the source of my feelings for the first time. It was piled up in my driveway. As I surveyed the pile I made, the answer to the obsolete (被遗忘的) question came to light: There is more joy to be found in possessing less than we can ever find possessing more.
I ran inside the house and found my wife upstairs cleaning the bathtub. Still trying to catch my breath, tI said, “Kim, you’ll never guess what just happened. June said we don’t need to own all this stuff！”
And in that moment, a minimalist family was born.
25．Which of the following best describes the to-be-cleaned garage
A．Spacious and well-lit. B．Neatly labeled and sorted.
C．Disordered and jam-packed. D．Narrow and weather-beaten.
26．What can we infer about the author’s recent experience with stuff cleaning
A．He went through unaccountable frustration. B．He figured out his disinterest in cleaning.
C．He initiated it and enjoyed the process. D．He lost patience and rushed to the end.
27．What did June imply by saying “The joy of home ownership, huh”
A．The pleasure of possessing a home. B．The significance of owning a family.
C．The convenience of having a garage. D．The demands of maintaining a house.
28．Why did the author start a minimalist family
A．He favored living with a handful of people. B．He wanted to quit being a slave of stuff.
C．He considered cleaning a waste of time. D．He figured out the joy of ownership.
（2024·广东湛江·二模）Lexi is just a little girl from Canada who found herself in a heart-stopping situation. It started off as a normal car trip. Angela Shymanski, Lexi’s mom, was at the wheel, navigating the tricky roads of the Rockies with her daughter Lexi and her baby Peter in the car. An unexpected animal ran into the road. Angela swerved (突然转向) to avoid the animal. Unfortunately, their car was off the road, falling down a steep embankment (路堤).
The crash was nothing short of terrifying. Angela ended up with a broken back. She was unconscious, and unable to help her babies. Meanwhile, baby Peter’s cries echoed in the chaos. But Lexi, only five years old, didn’t freeze. Instead, she showed courage that would leave many grown-ups in awe.
She quickly jumped into action. The little girl, without even shoes on her feet, wrestled free from her seatbelt and climbed the 40-foot embankment. Once she reached the top, Lexi did everything she could to flag down a passing car in order to get help for her mom and brother.
Lexi’s insistence finally paid off. A car stopped, and the people inside didn’t hesitate to help her call for emergency services. When the paramedics (护理人员) arrived, they found Angela in a severe state, and her heart had stopped. Thankfully, they managed to bring her back.
Lexi’s dad, reflecting on the incident, couldn’t help but be amazed by his daughter’s bravery.

（2024·全国·二模）Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.”
Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses—and the pressure.
She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.

（2024·重庆·二模）Baseball was everything to Walker Smallwood. But when he was just 14 years old, he got heartbreaking news that he had a rare form of bone cancer growing in his left leg. His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays.
The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option. “At the time I guess I was just kind of in denial, because my whole life, day in and day out, was built around baseball and sports,” Walker said. “It was pretty disastrous,” his mom, Pam said. The most the 17-year-old would be able to do is play catch with his teammates as they warmed up for their games.
As the team approached the final game of the season, Walker’s parents and coach agreed that he could pitch (投球) for an inning (一局) or two for the old time’s sake.
“Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened,” Walker said.
What ended up happening was more than anyone ever expected. Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened. Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process.
“I was in tears, most of the stands were in tears — just one of those special moments that we’ll cherish forever,” mom Pam said. Smallwood may never play again. He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.

（2024·湖南衡阳·二模）Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023.
With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years.
To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom.

（2024·全国·模拟预测）One cold morning in early 2015, Lauren Passell was on her way to work. She’d been training hard for an upcoming marathon, and was limping slightly from a pain in her hip. She figured it was nothing serious. But it turned out to be a hairline stress fracture (发际应力性骨折).
So, when Passell slipped on the icy New York City sidewalk, she broke her hip. As she tried to get her bearings, a stranger emerged from the crowd and knelt beside her.
“All I remember is seeing her kind face, all bundled up, with a big hat and scarf,” Passell recalled. “She pushed everyone out of the way and said, ‘I’ve got this.’”
The woman introduced herself as Sharon Evans. As Evans helped Passell up, all Passell could think about was that she needed to get to work. But she was in terrible pain, and could barely stand. Seeing this, Evans told Passell to stay put while she called a cab.
Once the cab arrived, Evans got in with her. Passell tried to tell her that it wasn’t necessary. But Evans insisted. When the cab pulled up to the hospital, Evans took charge again.
She said, “You know what, I’m going to get the wheelchair for you and I’ll wheel you in.”
Evans didn’t just go into the hospital with Passell. She helped her fill out the paperwork, and even took Passell to the bathroom. Each time, Passell tried to persuade Evans to leave, to get to work. And each time, Evans refused.
Once it was time for Passell to be seen by doctors, Evans left. It turned out that Passell’s condition was grave. The doctors told her that she could have suffered due to complications from blood clots if she had not been sent there earlier.
