C&D 1
（2024·云南红河·一模）Claudene Wilson, a longtime guardian at a K-8 school in Swedeborg, Missouri, knew she was appreciated by staff and students, but she was amazed when she showed up to school one day and saw the building was named after her.
“It was a shock,” said Wilson, 64, who started as a guardian at the Swedeborg District III Elementary School in 1994. Wilson said supporting students has been the most important part of her job through the years. Every morning as they exit the school bus, Wilson greets each student with a smile. “I know them all by name. I know their moms and dads by name,” she said, adding that students often go to her when they have a problem or need advice. She is happy to lend an ear.
After 30 years, Wilson retired from the small school — which has about 40 students — in July. Staff, students and community members agreed they wanted to honor Wilson’s hard work and dedication. In late August, the school board voted unanimously to name the building after Wilson. They decided to call it the “Claudene Wilson Learning Center” to ensure her legacy and impact would live on for generations.
“She has made it such a priority in her life for the past 30 years, and we’ve been blessed to have her.” said Mark Sasfy, the assistant administrator of the school. Sasfy said the goal in renaming the building after Wilson was not only to honor her decades of work, but also to encourage students to be kind, hardworking and supportive — like Wilson. Kids can learn something just from that. There’s so much more to education than just reading, writing and mathematics.
1．What was Wilson’s focus during her years as a guardian
A．Providing support. B．Maintaining order.
C．Ensuring students’ safety. D．Monitoring students’ well-being.
2．What is the purpose of naming the school building after Wilson
A．To attract more students to the school.
B．To promote a new educational program.
C．To encourage students to follow Wilson’s example.
D．To recognize her contribution to local organizations.
3．What else should students learn according to the last paragraph
A．Effective study habits and strategies. B．Science and technology knowledge.
C．Motivation, discipline and self-control. D．Goodwill, diligence and helpfulness.
4．Which of the following word best describes Wilson
A．Devoted. B．Honest. C．Brave. D．Positive.
C&D 2
（2024·陕西宝鸡·一模）It was a typical day and 18-year-old Lilly Baker was on her way to meet friends. She was approaching the railway intersection when she noticed a frightening sight—an elderly woman confined to a wheelchair, trapped on railroad tracks. Time was running out, and Lilly knew she had to act fast.
Without hesitation, Lilly dashed towards the woman, her heart pounding wildly against her chest. Despite stumbling and falling twice, her determination remained firm. Each obstacle in her path only fueled her determination, highlighting the firm spirit of those who refuse to give up in the face of adversity.
As the seconds ticked away, the situation developed into a desperate race against time. The sound of an approaching train’s horn increased the urgency. It was a test of wills, where every second counted, and Lilly’s instincts kicked in. With a blend of fear and great courage, she gathered all her strength and made a final, desperate push for survival.
In a heart-stopping moment, Lilly managed to pull herself and the elderly woman to safety just moments before the train thundered past. They narrowly escaped tragedy, with only inches separating them from a cruel fate.
In the aftermath, Lilly smiled with a mix of relief and gratitude. Learning that they had narrowly avoided disaster by mere 18 inches left her shaken but very thankful. Her bravery and quick thinking had changed the course of fate, transforming her into a heroine in the eyes of all people who would hear her story.
Lilly Baker’s act of kindness and bravery in Tennessee is a powerful indication of the impact one individual can have on the lives of others. In a world that often seems over-shadowed by uncertainty and danger, Lilly’s story shines brightly as a symbol of hope and inspiration. It’s a story that challenges us to recognize the kindness and bravery that live within each of us, waiting for a moment to emerge. Let Lilly’s story inspire us to embrace our own capacity for kindness and bravery, reminding us that we, too, can change the world with one act of selflessness at a time.

C&D 3
（2025·全国·模拟预测）A few years ago, food scientist Sara Marquart came across an astonishing fact: over half of the world’s cocoa beans (可可豆) are sourced from Ivory Coast and Ghana, two African countries that are increasingly affected by climate change. Last year, these two countries received record rainfall prior to the autumn cocoa harvest, leading to tree infections and cocoa fruit decomposition. As a result, the global cocoa supply decreased significantly, causing a dramatic threefold rise in cocoa prices within a year.
This set the stage for the initiation of Planet A Foods by Sara and her brother, Max Marquart, both of whom are devoted chocolate lovers. The company’s scientists have been working on a chocolate alternative for the past three years. Making a food that looks like, feels like and tastes like chocolate — but isn’t chocolate — takes time.
Food scientist Anna-Lena Krug estimates that the team adjusted their recipe 700 to 800 times before arriving at what they call ChoViva, an alternative that abandons the cocoa bean. “If you’ve ever had the chance to try a raw cocoa bean, you will realize that there is almost no congruence in the smell of raw cocoa beans and conventional chocolate,” Krug says. That’s because chocolate’s pleasant smell forms during the fermentation (发酵) and roasting of the cocoa bean.
The team tried fermenting and roasting more than a hundred other materials until they settled on oats (燕麦) and sunflower seeds. After months of error, the team sent their chocolate alternative to taste-testers, receiving surprisingly positive feedback. The goal for ChoViva isn’t to replace chocolate entirely, but to replace chocolate in applications where it’s merely a part in a larger product.
Remarkably, they can produce ChoViva at a price close to that of traditional chocolate but with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Using locally sourced oats and sunflower seeds dramatically reduces shipping and water usage compared to cocoa beans, which require specific, climate-sensitive growing conditions. With ChoViva’s initial success, Sara plans to commercialize more alternatives to other foods sometime in the future.
9．What leads Sara and Max to found Planet A Foods
A．Their love for chocolate. B．The shortage of cocoa beans.
C．The decline in cocoa prices. D．Their concern for climate change.
10．What does the underlined word “congruence” mean in paragraph 3
A．Improvement. B．Change. C．Appeal. D．Similarity.
11．What can be learned about ChoViva
A．It’s an alternative to the cocoa beans. B．It’s more eco-friendly than chocolate.
C．Its actual cost is lower than expected. D．Its developing process went smoothly.
12．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．A far-reaching reform of cocoa beans B．Climate change: A challenge for sweet tooths
C．A cocoa-free solution to chocolate crisis D．Planet A Foods: From tradition to innovation
（24-25高三上·江苏常州·阶段练习）Onco Ballet is a non-profit organization in Orange County dedicated to addressing the mental and physical needs of the cancer community through ballet. Founded by Anna Wassman-Cox, who found healing in dance during her own cancer treatment, Onco Ballet offers free classes at select dance studios and hospitals. Wassman-Cox, a professional dancer, aims to make ballet accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of skill level.
The classes provide a creative outlet for participants during uncertain times concerning their health. Estee Fratzke, a breast cancer survivor and owner of Fringe Dance Studio, emphasizes how ballet allows individuals to express themselves authentically. Fellow survivor Kerry Hedley appreciates the supportive environment where everyone is accepted for their abilities.
Beyond fostering community, Onco Ballet offers significant physical benefits. Diana Mendoza, another breast cancer survivor, shares her experience of overcoming physical limitations through dance, affirming, “I can still be a ballerina.” This empowerment is crucial for many who face challenges after cancer treatment.
Marie Miao, a clinical oncology social worker at Hoag Health Center, notes that Onco Ballet incorporates bilateral movements, which have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety while promoting calmness. The classes also transform the perception of the health center, shifting it from a place of treatment to one of joy and learning.
Wassman-Cox reflects on her journey at Hoag, stating that returning now brings her joy as she contributes positively to the community. Aimee Murcia agrees, describing the classes as a much-needed mental distraction that also provides a sense of normalcy.
In a time when many cancer survivors may struggle with depression, Mendoza believes Onco Ballet fosters healing and connection. Being in a room with fellow survivors creates a powerful sense of resilience and courage, reinforcing the idea that they are not alone in their journeys. Together, they celebrate their strength and shared experiences, finding joy in movement and community.

C&D 5
（2025·全国·模拟预测）More than 6 million people have viewed a video featuring a couple in their 60s guiding people through the Northumberland Zoo using the language of Gen Z. Part of its appeal is that the delivery of Linda and Brian Bradley is so expressionless. It looks like there may well be someone, off screen, forcing them to do it and monitoring them. “That’s me!” joked their daughter, Maxine Bradley, the zoo’s manager.
“We didn’t give my parents any information in advance as we wanted their genuine reactions and plain pronunciations when they said the words. Neither of them know what they were saying. I still don’t, to be honest,” Maxine added.
The concept of “getting your Gen Z employee to write your marketing script (脚本)” is the latest trend to take off. Maxine Bradley was inspired to make her video after seeing one for Edinburgh Zoo. “Lucy, who likes to keep up with the latest trends, saw it too and we both agreed that we had to do this,” said Maxine.
The big problem soon became clear: neither Maxine nor Lucy had a good grasp of the language of Gen Z. They went on the Internet and found all the definitions. A script was ready eventually and they asked another fellow worker for help. She told them whether the expression was too old or still on trend and taught Maxine’s dad what he was supposed to do and how to do it.
Northumberland Zoo, a family-run not-for-profit organization, has steadily grown since getting its licence in 2015. It plays an important role in the conservation of critically endangered Livingstone’s fruit bats. It is also probably the only place in the world where the guinea pigs (豚鼠) live in a wild west-themed village, which is a hit. One of its animals is also available to give birthday wishes on a greeting video site. Its introduction of new things and ideas is the key to its continued progress.
17．How do the couple look like in the video
A．They are proud and brave. B．They are uneasy and frightened.
C．They are blank and confused. D．They are humorous and excited.
18．Where did Maxine get the idea for the video
A．From her love for a concept. B．From her parents’ odd behavior.
C．From a stylish Gen Z employee. D．From a zoo’s promotional video.
19．Why was another fellow worker included by Maxine and Lucy
A．She is skillful in film shooting. B．She is able to attract zoo lovers.
C．She knows Gen Z language well. D．She has a good grasp of performing.
20．What message does the text want to convey
A．Innovation makes advances. B．Tradition needs modernity.
C．Fashions provide new ideas. D．Teamwork leads to success.48.【2025年高考英语分类练】阅读理解C&D篇之新闻报道

1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Wilson said supporting students has been the most important part of her job through the years.( 威尔逊说，这些年来，支持学生一直是她工作中最重要的部分。)” 可知，在担任监护人期间，威尔逊关注的重点是支持学生，并且为他们提供帮助。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“In late August, the school board voted unanimously to name the building after Wilson. They decided to call it the “Claudene Wilson Learning Center” to ensure her legacy and impact would live on for generations.(8月下旬，学校董事会一致投票决定以威尔逊的名字命名这座大楼。他们决定将其命名为“克劳德·威尔逊学习中心”，以确保她的遗产和影响将代代相传。)”以及最后一段中“Sasfy said the goal in renaming the building after Wilson was not only to honor her decades of work, but also to encourage students to be kind, hardworking and supportive — like Wilson.(萨斯菲说，以威尔逊的名字重新命名这座大楼的目的不仅是为了纪念她几十年来的工作，也是为了鼓励学生们像威尔逊一样善良、勤奋和支持。)”可知，以威尔逊的名字命名学校的目的是鼓励学生以威尔逊为榜样。故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Sasfy said the goal in renaming the building after Wilson was not only to honor her decades of work, but also to encourage students to be kind, hardworking and supportive — like Wilson.

（2024·陕西宝鸡·一模）It was a typical day and 18-year-old Lilly Baker was on her way to meet friends. She was approaching the railway intersection when she noticed a frightening sight—an elderly woman confined to a wheelchair, trapped on railroad tracks. Time was running out, and Lilly knew she had to act fast.
Without hesitation, Lilly dashed towards the woman, her heart pounding wildly against her chest. Despite stumbling and falling twice, her determination remained firm. Each obstacle in her path only fueled her determination, highlighting the firm spirit of those who refuse to give up in the face of adversity.
As the seconds ticked away, the situation developed into a desperate race against time. The sound of an approaching train’s horn increased the urgency. It was a test of wills, where every second counted, and Lilly’s instincts kicked in. With a blend of fear and great courage, she gathered all her strength and made a final, desperate push for survival.
In a heart-stopping moment, Lilly managed to pull herself and the elderly woman to safety just moments before the train thundered past. They narrowly escaped tragedy, with only inches separating them from a cruel fate.
In the aftermath, Lilly smiled with a mix of relief and gratitude. Learning that they had narrowly avoided disaster by mere 18 inches left her shaken but very thankful. Her bravery and quick thinking had changed the course of fate, transforming her into a heroine in the eyes of all people who would hear her story.
Lilly Baker’s act of kindness and bravery in Tennessee is a powerful indication of the impact one individual can have on the lives of others. In a world that often seems over-shadowed by uncertainty and danger, Lilly’s story shines brightly as a symbol of hope and inspiration. It’s a story that challenges us to recognize the kindness and bravery that live within each of us, waiting for a moment to emerge. Let Lilly’s story inspire us to embrace our own capacity for kindness and bravery, reminding us that we, too, can change the world with one act of selflessness at a time.

（2025·全国·模拟预测）A few years ago, food scientist Sara Marquart came across an astonishing fact: over half of the world’s cocoa beans (可可豆) are sourced from Ivory Coast and Ghana, two African countries that are increasingly affected by climate change. Last year, these two countries received record rainfall prior to the autumn cocoa harvest, leading to tree infections and cocoa fruit decomposition. As a result, the global cocoa supply decreased significantly, causing a dramatic threefold rise in cocoa prices within a year.
This set the stage for the initiation of Planet A Foods by Sara and her brother, Max Marquart, both of whom are devoted chocolate lovers. The company’s scientists have been working on a chocolate alternative for the past three years. Making a food that looks like, feels like and tastes like chocolate — but isn’t chocolate — takes time.
Food scientist Anna-Lena Krug estimates that the team adjusted their recipe 700 to 800 times before arriving at what they call ChoViva, an alternative that abandons the cocoa bean. “If you’ve ever had the chance to try a raw cocoa bean, you will realize that there is almost no congruence in the smell of raw cocoa beans and conventional chocolate,” Krug says. That’s because chocolate’s pleasant smell forms during the fermentation (发酵) and roasting of the cocoa bean.
The team tried fermenting and roasting more than a hundred other materials until they settled on oats (燕麦) and sunflower seeds. After months of error, the team sent their chocolate alternative to taste-testers, receiving surprisingly positive feedback. The goal for ChoViva isn’t to replace chocolate entirely, but to replace chocolate in applications where it’s merely a part in a larger product.
Remarkably, they can produce ChoViva at a price close to that of traditional chocolate but with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Using locally sourced oats and sunflower seeds dramatically reduces shipping and water usage compared to cocoa beans, which require specific, climate-sensitive growing conditions. With ChoViva’s initial success, Sara plans to commercialize more alternatives to other foods sometime in the future.
9．What leads Sara and Max to found Planet A Foods
A．Their love for chocolate. B．The shortage of cocoa beans.
C．The decline in cocoa prices. D．Their concern for climate change.
10．What does the underlined word “congruence” mean in paragraph 3
A．Improvement. B．Change. C．Appeal. D．Similarity.
11．What can be learned about ChoViva
A．It’s an alternative to the cocoa beans. B．It’s more eco-friendly than chocolate.
C．Its actual cost is lower than expected. D．Its developing process went smoothly.
12．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．A far-reaching reform of cocoa beans B．Climate change: A challenge for sweet tooths
C．A cocoa-free solution to chocolate crisis D．Planet A Foods: From tradition to innovation
【答案】9．B 10．D 11．B 12．C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】食物与饮料 、发明与创造 、新闻报道
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是食品科学家Sara Marquart和她的兄弟Max Marquart，因为全球可可豆供应短缺和价格上涨的问题，创立了一家名为Planet A Foods的公司，致力于开发一种巧克力替代品ChoViva，这种替代品不含可可豆，但通过发酵和烘烤等工艺，使其外观、口感和味道都与巧克力相似。
9．细节理解题。根据第一段“As a result, the global cocoa supply decreased significantly, causing a dramatic threefold rise in cocoa prices within a year.(因此，全球可可供应大幅减少，导致可可价格在一年内大幅上涨了三倍)”和第二段“This set the stage for the initiation of Planet A Foods by Sara and her brother, Max Marquart, both of whom are devoted chocolate lovers.(这为Sara和她的哥哥Max Marquart创立Planet A Foods奠定了基础，他们都是巧克力的忠实爱好者)”可知，正是可可豆的短缺促使Sara和Max成立了Planet A Foods公司。故选B。
10．词句猜测题。根据第三段“there is almost no(几乎没有)”，“in the smell of raw cocoa beans and conventional chocolate(在生可可豆和传统巧克力的味道中)”和“That’s because chocolate’s pleasant smell forms during the fermentation (发酵) and roasting of the cocoa bean.(这是因为巧克力的香味是在可可豆的发酵和烘烤过程中形成的)”，再结合下一段“The team tried fermenting and roasting more than a hundred other materials until they settled on oats and sunflower seeds.(该团队尝试发酵和烘焙100多种其他材料，直到他们选定了燕麦和葵花籽)”可知，生可可豆和传统巧克力的味道没有相似性，划线词congruence的意思是“相似性”，和similarity意思相近。故选D。
11．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Remarkably, they can produce ChoViva at a price close to that of traditional chocolate but with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Using locally sourced oats and sunflower seeds dramatically reduces shipping and water usage compared to cocoa beans, which require specific, climate-sensitive growing conditions.(值得注意的是，他们可以以接近传统巧克力的价格生产ChoViva，但碳足迹显著降低。与可可豆相比，使用当地采购的燕麦和葵花籽大大减少了运输和水的使用，可可豆需要特定的、对气候敏感的生长条件)”可知，ChoViva比巧克力更环保。故选B。
12．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Food scientist Anna-Lena Krug estimates that the team adjusted their recipe 700 to 800 times before arriving at what they call ChoViva, an alternative that abandons the cocoa bean.(食品科学家Anna-Lena Krug估计，该团队对配方进行了700到800次调整，才得出了他们所谓的ChoViva，一种不使用可可豆的替代品)”和最后一段“Remarkably, they can produce ChoViva at a price close to that of traditional chocolate but with a significantly lower carbon footprint.(值得注意的是，他们可以以接近传统巧克力的价格生产ChoViva，但碳足迹显著降低)”可知，本文主要讲的是食品科学家Sara Marquart和她的兄弟Max Marquart，因为全球可可豆供应短缺和价格上涨的问题，创立了一家名为Planet A Foods的公司，致力于开发一种巧克力替代品ChoViva，这种替代品不含可可豆，但通过发酵和烘烤等工艺，使其外观、口感和味道都与巧克力相似，因此本文最好的标题是C选项“A cocoa-free solution to chocolate crisis(巧克力危机的无可可解决方案)”。故选C。

（2025·全国·模拟预测）More than 6 million people have viewed a video featuring a couple in their 60s guiding people through the Northumberland Zoo using the language of Gen Z. Part of its appeal is that the delivery of Linda and Brian Bradley is so expressionless. It looks like there may well be someone, off screen, forcing them to do it and monitoring them. “That’s me!” joked their daughter, Maxine Bradley, the zoo’s manager.
“We didn’t give my parents any information in advance as we wanted their genuine reactions and plain pronunciations when they said the words. Neither of them know what they were saying. I still don’t, to be honest,” Maxine added.
The concept of “getting your Gen Z employee to write your marketing script (脚本)” is the latest trend to take off. Maxine Bradley was inspired to make her video after seeing one for Edinburgh Zoo. “Lucy, who likes to keep up with the latest trends, saw it too and we both agreed that we had to do this,” said Maxine.
The big problem soon became clear: neither Maxine nor Lucy had a good grasp of the language of Gen Z. They went on the Internet and found all the definitions. A script was ready eventually and they asked another fellow worker for help. She told them whether the expression was too old or still on trend and taught Maxine’s dad what he was supposed to do and how to do it.
Northumberland Zoo, a family-run not-for-profit organization, has steadily grown since getting its licence in 2015. It plays an important role in the conservation of critically endangered Livingstone’s fruit bats. It is also probably the only place in the world where the guinea pigs (豚鼠) live in a wild west-themed village, which is a hit. One of its animals is also available to give birthday wishes on a greeting video site. Its introduction of new things and ideas is the key to its continued progress.
17．How do the couple look like in the video
A．They are proud and brave. B．They are uneasy and frightened.
C．They are blank and confused. D．They are humorous and excited.
18．Where did Maxine get the idea for the video
A．From her love for a concept. B．From her parents’ odd behavior.
C．From a stylish Gen Z employee. D．From a zoo’s promotional video.
19．Why was another fellow worker included by Maxine and Lucy
A．She is skillful in film shooting. B．She is able to attract zoo lovers.
C．She knows Gen Z language well. D．She has a good grasp of performing.
20．What message does the text want to convey
A．Innovation makes advances. B．Tradition needs modernity.
C．Fashions provide new ideas. D．Teamwork leads to success.

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了Maxine利用Z世代语言制作视频宣传自家动物园。
17．推理判断题。根据第一段“Part of its appeal is that the delivery of Linda and Brian Bradley is so expressionless. It looks like there may well be someone, off screen, forcing them to do it and monitoring them.(它吸引人的部分原因是琳达和布莱恩·布拉德利说话时面无表情。看起来很可能有人在屏幕外强迫他们这样做并监视他们)”以及第二段“We didn’t give my parents any information in advance as we wanted their genuine reactions and plain pronunciations when they said the words. Neither of them know what they were saying.(我们没有提前告诉父母任何信息，因为我们想要他们说出这些单词时真实的反应和简单的发音。他们俩都不知道自己在说什么)”可推知，由于Linda和Brian Bradley对Z世代语言并不了解，在录制宣传视频时他们并不懂自己在说什么，所以会表现得茫然（blank）和困惑（confused）。故选C。
18．细节理解题。根据第三段“The concept of “getting your Gen Z employee to write your marketing script (脚本)” is the latest trend to take off. Maxine Bradley was inspired to make her video after seeing one for Edinburgh Zoo. (“让你的Z世代员工来写你的营销脚本”的概念是最新的流行趋势。玛克辛·布拉德利在看到爱丁堡动物园的视频后受到启发，制作了她的视频)”可知，Maxine是在看到爱丁堡动物园用Z世代语言进行宣传的视频后产生了制作这种视频的想法。故选D。
19．细节理解题。根据第四段“The big problem soon became clear: neither Maxine nor Lucy had a good grasp of the language of Gen Z. They went on the Internet and found all the definitions. A script was ready eventually and they asked another fellow worker for help.
