【技巧点拨】
高中英语阅读理解中新闻报道类文章通常具有题材、结构、语言等方面的特点，具体如下：
题材特点
时效性强：内容一般是近期发生的事件，反映当下社会的最新动态、热点问题等，与现实生活紧密相连，能让学生及时了解世界上正在发生的事情。
涵盖广泛：涉及政治、经济、文化、科技、体育、娱乐、社会民生等各个领域，旨在拓宽学生的知识面和视野，使学生接触到不同领域的专业词汇和表达方式。
结构特点
导语突出：文章开头通常有一个简洁明了的导语，用一句话或一段话概括新闻的主要内容，包括事件的核心、关键人物、重要时间或地点等，让读者快速了解新闻的大致内容，判断是否对该新闻感兴趣。
层次分明：在主体部分，新闻会按照一定的逻辑顺序展开，如时间顺序、重要性顺序等，详细介绍事件的来龙去脉、相关背景、各方观点等，使文章条理清晰，便于读者理解和获取信息。
结尾简洁：结尾一般会对新闻事件进行简要总结或对未来发展做出一定的展望，起到收束全文、引发思考的作用，也可能会提供一些补充信息或后续报道的线索。
语言特点
用词精准：为了准确传达信息，新闻报道会使用大量精准、专业的词汇，尤其是在涉及特定领域的新闻中，如科技、金融等领域会出现相关的专业术语。同时，会根据不同的语境和表达需要，选择恰当的词汇来描述事件和人物，以确保信息的准确性和客观性。
多使用主动语态和简单时态：主动语态能够使句子更加简洁有力，突出动作的执行者，让读者更清晰地了解事件的主体和行为。时态上多使用一般现在时、一般过去时和现在完成时等简单时态，用来描述当前的事实、过去发生的事件以及对现在产生的影响等，便于读者快速理解事件的时间关系。
修辞手法辅助：为了增强新闻的吸引力和感染力，有时会使用一些修辞手法，如比喻、拟人、夸张等，但相对文学作品而言，使用频率较低且较为简洁。这些修辞手法能够使抽象的概念或复杂的事件更加形象生动，帮助读者更好地理解和记忆。
题目特点
细节理解题居多：因为新闻报道包含大量的具体信息，所以题目中细节理解题占比较大，要求学生能够准确找到并理解文中的具体事实、数据、时间、地点等信息。
注重主旨和标题考查：通常会有关于文章主旨大意或合适标题的题目，以考查学生对新闻核心内容的把握和提炼能力，要求学生能够从整体上理解新闻的主要内容和目的。
存在推理判断题：可能会要求学生根据文章信息进行合理推断，如推断事件的发展趋势、作者的意图、事件背后的原因等，考查学生的逻辑思维和深层理解能力。

C&D 1
（24-25高三上·湖南长沙·阶段练习）Selling a British institution to a foreign billionaire is a big deal. In the case of Royal Mail, that deal is not yet done, but the company’s board has agreed to the move in principle. The 508-year-old postal service, Royal Mail, has been valued at 5 billion by its potential Czech buyer, Daniel Kretinsky, and shareholders of Royal Mail’s parent company are due to vote on the deal in September 2024.
The government has since made a promise to “firmly scrutinize” the takeover and give workers a “stronger voice”, leading some investors to doubt whether the deal will now go through.
But there are good reasons for viewing this kind of foreign direct investment as valuable to the struggling UK economy. There is research which shows that foreign-owned firms are typically more productive, more innovative and pay higher wages than their domestically- owned competitors.
There are other possible advantages too. Research also suggests that attracting foreign investment can help regional development in the UK, making a significant contribution to what has become known as “levelling up”.
But it doesn’t always work out that way. One major concern is that when business strategy decisions are made remotely, they tend to emphasise short-term gains over long-term sustainability. And apart from the issue over whether the UK’s national post carrier should be in private hands at all, there remain questions about what specific benefits foreign property would bring to Royal Mail.
A takeover of this type often leads to “restructuring”. Daniel Kretinsky has promised no changes to working conditions for two years, and to keep the Royal Mail’s tax residency (纳税身份) in UK for five years.
A successful takeover also depends on the ability of the company to generate productivity growth, usually through things like investment of capital or new technology. But it is not clear that either of them is likely in this case.
1．What does the underlined word “scrutinize” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Examine. B．Detect. C．Overlook. D．Display.
2．Why is external direct investment precious to the UK’s hard economy
A．Foreign-owned firms are more efficient and creative.
B．Foreign-owned firms can boost global competitiveness.
C．Foreign-owned firms provide more regional jobs than the local firms.
D．Foreign-owned firms bring advanced technologies and practices to the UK.
3．Which one is the current concern about Royal Mail
A．Job cuts and wage changes. B．Ownership of the national post office.
C．Unpredictable international expansion. D．A decrease in service quality for customers.
4．What can be inferred from paragraph 6
A．Royal Mall will not pay taxes within five years.
B．Royal Mall will relocate its headquarters abroad.
C．Royal Mall’s tax status could be reassessed in five years.
D．There will be no foreign influence on Royal Mall’s operations.
【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】社会问题与社会现象、新闻报道
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了拥有508年历史的邮政服务——皇家邮政，被其潜在的捷克买家丹尼尔·克雷廷斯基估价为50亿美元，皇家邮政母公司的股东将于2024年9月对这笔交易进行投票。此后，政府承诺将“严格审查”此次收购，并给予工人“更大的发言权”，这导致一些投资者怀疑这笔交易现在是否会通过。
1．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文的“promise(承诺)”和下文的“leading some investors to doubt whether the deal will now go through(导致一些投资者怀疑这笔交易现在是否会通过)”可知，政府做出了会严格审查收购的承诺，这让一些投资者不满，故划线词意思是“审查”。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段“There is research which shows that foreign-owned firms are typically more productive, more innovative and pay higher wages than their domestically- owned competitors.(有研究表明，外资企业通常比国内竞争对手更有生产力、更有创新力、支付更高的工资)”可知，外资公司比本地公司更有效率，更具有创新力。故选A。
3．细节理解题。根据第五段“And apart from the issue over whether the UK’s national post carrier should be in private hands at all, there remain questions about what specific benefits foreign property would bring to Royal Mail.(除了英国国家邮政运营商是否应该由私人持有的问题外，对于海外资产将给皇家邮政带来哪些具体好处，人们仍存在疑问)”可知，人们对于皇家邮政的所有权存在担忧。故选B。
4．推理判断题。根据第六段“Daniel Kretinsky has promised no changes to working conditions for two years, and to keep the Royal Mail’s tax residency (纳税身份) in UK for five years.(丹尼尔·克雷廷斯基承诺两年内不改变工作条件，并保留皇家邮政在英国的纳税身份5年)”可知，Daniel Kretinsky承诺在五年内保持皇家邮政的英国税务权，因此可推断出五年后其税务状况可能会被重新审视。故选C。
C&D 2
（24-25高三上·甘肃·阶段练习）Hawkins, born on Feb.10, 1916, in Wisconsin, is a lifelong athlete. Hawkins showed interest in cycling for much of her life before losing interest due to a lack of competition. “There wasn’t anyone left my age to compete with,” she told the NSGA in 2021.
Hawkins became a darling of the track and field world when she took up running at 100 years old. According to media reports, she started running at the urging of her children. It wasn’t long before she established her dominance in the sport, setting the 100-meter record in the 100-104 age category in 2017 with a swift finish of 39.62 seconds.
She set several other records in her age level and charmed crowds with her frankness. The great-grandmother got the name “Hurricane” on the track for her extraordinary racing capacity, but her other nickname, “The Flower Lady”, came from her love of gardening. During her races, she could be seen with her signature flower put behind her ear as she breezed across the track.
In 2021, at the age of 105, Hawkins became the first female track and field athlete in the 105+ age level to clock a time in the 100-meter dash. With a finishing time of 1’02"95, she expressed disappointment that she hadn’t performed as well as she had hoped. “It was wonderful to see so many family members and friends. But I wanted to do it in less than a minute,” she said after the race. When someone in the crowd asked whether it made her feel any better to realize that her time was still less than her age, she said, “No.”
Hlavacek, the NSGA chief, said that was precisely her sharp sense of humor. “She is a phenomenal athlete and just a very sweet woman. Very inspirational to our community, and also to the world as an athlete.”
5．What can we learn about Hawkins from the first two paragraphs
A．She had a great talent for sports. B．Her children opposed her running.
C．She found herself too old to cycle. D．She was not competitive in cycling.
6．Why was Hawkins given the nickname “The Flower Lady”
A．To promote her sale of flowers. B．In honor of her love for life.
C．To highlight her pretty appearance. D．In recognition of her athletic abilities.
7．What did Hawk ns try to convey by saying “No”
A．She wanted a shorter finishing time. B．She wouldn’t join in running any more.
C．She felt stressed to see so many friends. D．She performed as well as she had hoped.
8．What may mainly account for Hawkins’ achievements
A．The support from her community. B．Her humorous personalities.
C．Her extraordinary sportsmanship. D．Her passions to try new things.
【答案】5．A 6．B 7．A 8．C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】新闻报道、体育名人
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了极具运动天赋和竞争精神的百岁老人Hawkins退出自行车比赛后又成为田径界的宠儿的故事。
5．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Hawkins showed interest in cycling for much of her life before losing interest due to a lack of competition. (Hawkins一生中大部分时间都对骑自行车感兴趣，但由于缺乏竞争而失去了兴趣。)”和第二段中“According to media reports, she started running at the urging of her children. It wasn’t long before she established her dominance in the sport, setting the 100-meter record in the 100-104 age category in 2017 with a swift finish of 39.62 seconds. (据媒体报道，她是在孩子们的催促下开始跑步的。不久之后，她确立了自己在这项运动中的统治地位，在2017年以39.62秒的成绩创造了100米100-104岁年龄段的纪录。)”可知，Hawkins在自行车骑行和100米田径赛场上都难寻对手。由此可推知，Hawkins是一个极具运动天赋的人。故选A项。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The great-grandmother got the name “Hurricane” on the track for her extraordinary racing capacity, but her other nickname, “The Flower Lady”, came from her love of gardening. (这位曾祖母在赛道上因其非凡的赛车能力而被称为“飓风”，但她的另一个绰号“花娘子”来自她对园艺的热爱。)”可知， Hawkins被称为“The Flower Lady”，是在向她对生活的热爱表达敬意。故选B项。
7．细节理解题。根据第四段中“With a finishing time of 1’02"95, she expressed disappointment that she hadn’t performed as well as she had hoped. “It was wonderful to see so many family members and friends. But I wanted to do it in less than a minute,” she said after the race. (她的完成时间为1'02“95，她对自己的表现没有达到预期表示失望。赛后她说：“看到这么多家人和朋友真是太棒了。但我想在不到一分钟的时间内完成。”)”可知，Hawkins对结果并不满意，她希望跑得更快，缩短比赛用时。故选A项。
8．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Hawkins showed interest in cycling for much of her life before losing interest due to a lack of competition. (Hawkins一生中大部分时间都对骑自行车感兴趣，但由于缺乏竞争而失去了兴趣。)”和第四段中“With a finishing time of 1’02"95, she expressed disappointment that she hadn’t performed as well as she had hoped. (她的完成时间为1'02“95，她对自己的表现没有达到预期表示失望。)”以及最后一段中“She is a phenomenal athlete and just a very sweet woman. (她是一位杰出的运动员，也是一位非常可爱的女人。)”可知，Hawkins追求比赛的竞争性，追求更好的个人成绩，希望超越自我。由此可推知，Hawkins能取得如此好的运动成就主要是因为她非凡的体育精神。故选C项。
C&D 3
（24-25高三上·安徽蚌埠·阶段练习）Many teenagers like to battle it out in the world of video games, but 15-year-old Ming Letian buries himself in the world of numbers: sudoku (数独). From November 6 to 7, the 13th World Sudoku Cham- pionship (WSC), attracting 248 contestants from 33 countries and regions, was held in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. The Chinese under-18 sudoku team swept the individual medals and won the team silver. As a member of the national team, Ming, the Senior 1 student from Dalian No 24 High School, Liaoning province, took the top position.
Like most people, Ming fell in love with sudoku after he first encounter the simple yet challenging game in a newspaper when he was just 6 years old. With pencil in hand, he quickly filled in a grid (方格) of 9×9 boxes so that every row, column and square contained the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition. From 2015 he learned strategies and visualization techniques from teachers; then he took to the field.
“The joy of the game is discovering new ways to solve a problem,” said Ming. “When I filled in the last squares, after an hour of thinking, I had a sense of achievement.” Solving a puzzle on a couch, however, is very different from filling in grids at the World Championship. In competition, players need to complete a variety of sudoku puzzles of different sizes, shapes and skill levels — easy, medium and hard. Every puzzle is timed, which means that players have to finish them quickly and correctly.
Although we’re not all geniuses, millions of people are still addicted to this game. “Sudoku relies on logic, not knowledge. You don’t have to know anything, basically, to do it. So why not sharpen your reasoning and give it a shot ” wrote Will Shortz, crossword editor for a newspaper.
9．What was Ming Letian’s achievement at the WSC
A．He won the team gold. B．He came in second place.
C．He won the bronze medal. D．He ranked first individually.
10．How did Ming Letian become interested in sudoku
A．He was inspired by many other role models. B．He saw the game via media at a young age.
C．He was satisfied with solving the puzzles. D．He learned about it from his math teacher.
11．What might be one of the challenges faced by players at the WSC
A．Speed and accuracy are needed for each puzzle. B．Every puzzle examines higher-order thinking.
C．Pencils are not allowed to fill in the squares. D．They have to stand up long to finish the game.
12．What can be inferred from Will Shortz’s words
A．Sudoku is mainly genius-focused. B．Sudoku is just knowledge-based.
C．Sudoku is beneficial to logical reasoning. D．Sudoku is the basis of mental growth.

The Chinese under-18 sudoku team swept the individual medals and won the team silver.

10．细节理解题。根据第二段“Like most people, Ming fell in love with sudoku after he first encounter the simple yet challenging game in a newspaper when he was just 6 years old.(和大多数人一样，Ming在6岁时第一次在报纸上看到这个简单而富有挑战性的游戏后，就爱上了数独)”可知，他在年幼时通过媒体看到了这个游戏，然后爱上了数独。故选B项。

12．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although we’re not all geniuses, millions of people are still addicted to this game. “Sudoku relies on logic, not knowledge. You don’t have to know anything, basically, to do it.

C&D 4
（24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）Many children are natural born artists. It is hard to spot the youngest artist on Earth; however, Guinness World Records has found him. Ghanian kid Ace-Liam Ankrah, who was 2 years old in July, has been named “World’ s Youngest Male Artist” after fulfilling specific requirements needed to qualify.
Ace-Liam created his first painting at just 6 months old, titled The Crawl. His mother, artist Kuukua Eghan, needed to keep him entertained while she worked on her own projects. “I spread out a canvas (画布) on the floor and added paint to it, and then in the process of crawling he ended up spreading all the colors on the canvas,” she said. After that, motivated by his mother, he continued to paint.
The boy has created his lively, expressive works using acrylic (丙烯酸的) paint. After selecting the canvas size and paint colors, his mother lets his imagination run wild. “His abstract paintings are inspired by the world around him: colors, shapes and his mood,” says Eghan. “Every painting is an expression of his curiosity and joy in discovering new things.”
Eghan decided to apply for the record last June. In November 2023, Guinness World Records told her that to break a previous record, her son needed to exhibit his work and sell paintings. She then arranged for Ace-Liam’s first exhibition at the Museum of Science and Technology in Accra in January 2024, where nine out of 10 of his pieces listed were sold. Ghana’s first lady, Rebecca Akufo- Addo, attended the exhibition and even asked him to create a piece for her.
So far, Ace-Liam has sold 15 paintings during his brief career. There are plans to hold an auction (拍卖) soon for his new paintings, in addition to looking for new opportunities for her son, such as applying for scholarships. Overall, she hopes to inspire other parents to discover their children’s talents — and she’s happy to see how far her kid can go. “He is painting and growing and playing in the whole process,” she says.
13．What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A．How valuable Ace-Liam’s first painting is.
B．What materials were used in Ace-Liam’s painting.
C．How Eghan discovered her son’s talent for painting.
D．Why Ace-Liam became the World’s Youngest Male Artist.
14．What inspires Ace-Liam’s paintings according to Eghan
A．The works of other artists. B．Stories told by his family.
C．Familiar colors and shapes. D．His curiosity to the surroundings.
15．Why did Eghan organize an exhibition in Accra
A．To encourage her son to paint more pieces.
B．To draw the first lady’s attention to her son.
C．To assist her son to qualify for the Guinness Records.
D．To prove her son’s paintings are popular and profitable.
16．What does Eghan want to convey in the last paragraph
A．It’s never too late to start exploring talents.
B．Parents should support kids to express their talent.
C．Parents should believe all children are natural born artists.
D．It’s essential to create a relaxed environment for children.

13．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Ace-Liam created his first painting at just 6 months old, titled The Crawl. His mother, artist Kuukua Eghan, needed to keep him entertained while she worked on her own projects. “I spread out a canvas (画布) on the floor and added paint to it, and then in the process of crawling he ended up spreading all the colors on the canvas,” she said.

14．细节理解题。根据第三段““His abstract paintings are inspired by the world around him: colors, shapes and his mood,” says Eghan. “Every painting is an expression of his curiosity and joy in discovering new things.”(“他的抽象画的灵感来自于他周围的世界：颜色，形状和他的情绪，”Eghan说。“每一幅画都表达了他对发现新事物的好奇心和喜悦。”)”可知，根据Eghan的说法，对周围环境的好奇心激发了Ace-Liam的绘画灵感。故选D。

16．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Overall, she hopes to inspire other parents to discover their children’s talents — and she’s happy to see how far her kid can go.(总的来说，她希望能激励其他父母去发现孩子的才能——她很高兴看到她的孩子能走多远)”可知，Eghan在最后一段想表达父母应该支持孩子表现他们的才能。故选B。

（24-25高三上·云南普洱·阶段练习）Visitors to Paris can send a flavor of France home with their picture postcards and letters. The scent is sweet and comes from a special stamp, which shows the country’s famous bread called baguette.
One story explains the history of the bread. It goes that Napoleon Bonaparte’s bakers created the bread in a long shape to make it easier for his troops to carry. Though eating baguettes is not as popular as it once was, France still makes around 16 million per day or nearly 6 billion a year because it is typical of French food.
The stamp was released in May for the Summer Olympic Games. The unusual stamp was designed to make visitors think of the Summer Olympic Games and France. A worker in the post office, Clarisse Briend, said many visitors would pick up the stamps along with other official Paris 2024 postcards and stamps. Clarisse Briend said, “You can smell the bread, the baguette.” However, a bread shop manager Jeanne Barrere compared the scent to vanilla (香草). Baker Yasin Robin expressed his opinion that it smelt like a pie, a dessert but not the baguette itself.
The stamp sold for more than $2 at post offices and achieved what France had expected. Visitors, who picked up some unusual stamps, showed their appreciation. Pia Schndienst is a German visitor coming from the Netherlands with her family. “You just have to rub the stamp here like this with your nails. The sweet smell is impressive and comfortable,” she said.
In the opinion of Frenchmen, over the period of Olympic Games, the stamps boosted the influence of France. They were proud that the stamps contributed to a great period, a great party for everyone.
17．Why were the unusual stamps created
A．To show bakers’ skills. B．To promote baguettes.
C．To advertise French food. D．To remind people of France.
18．What can we learn from what Pia Schndienst said
A．The stamps marked French food. B．The stamps gained her appreciation.
C．She was sensitive to the sweet stamps. D．She was content with the Olympic Games.

高中英语阅读理解中新闻报道类文章通常具有题材、结构、语言等方面的特点，具体如下：
题材特点
时效性强：内容一般是近期发生的事件，反映当下社会的最新动态、热点问题等，与现实生活紧密相连，能让学生及时了解世界上正在发生的事情。
涵盖广泛：涉及政治、经济、文化、科技、体育、娱乐、社会民生等各个领域，旨在拓宽学生的知识面和视野，使学生接触到不同领域的专业词汇和表达方式。
结构特点
导语突出：文章开头通常有一个简洁明了的导语，用一句话或一段话概括新闻的主要内容，包括事件的核心、关键人物、重要时间或地点等，让读者快速了解新闻的大致内容，判断是否对该新闻感兴趣。
层次分明：在主体部分，新闻会按照一定的逻辑顺序展开，如时间顺序、重要性顺序等，详细介绍事件的来龙去脉、相关背景、各方观点等，使文章条理清晰，便于读者理解和获取信息。
结尾简洁：结尾一般会对新闻事件进行简要总结或对未来发展做出一定的展望，起到收束全文、引发思考的作用，也可能会提供一些补充信息或后续报道的线索。
语言特点
用词精准：为了准确传达信息，新闻报道会使用大量精准、专业的词汇，尤其是在涉及特定领域的新闻中，如科技、金融等领域会出现相关的专业术语。同时，会根据不同的语境和表达需要，选择恰当的词汇来描述事件和人物，以确保信息的准确性和客观性。
多使用主动语态和简单时态：主动语态能够使句子更加简洁有力，突出动作的执行者，让读者更清晰地了解事件的主体和行为。时态上多使用一般现在时、一般过去时和现在完成时等简单时态，用来描述当前的事实、过去发生的事件以及对现在产生的影响等，便于读者快速理解事件的时间关系。
修辞手法辅助：为了增强新闻的吸引力和感染力，有时会使用一些修辞手法，如比喻、拟人、夸张等，但相对文学作品而言，使用频率较低且较为简洁。这些修辞手法能够使抽象的概念或复杂的事件更加形象生动，帮助读者更好地理解和记忆。

（24-25高三上·湖南长沙·阶段练习）Selling a British institution to a foreign billionaire is a big deal. In the case of Royal Mail, that deal is not yet done, but the company’s board has agreed to the move in principle. The 508-year-old postal service, Royal Mail, has been valued at 5 billion by its potential Czech buyer, Daniel Kretinsky, and shareholders of Royal Mail’s parent company are due to vote on the deal in September 2024.
The government has since made a promise to “firmly scrutinize” the takeover and give workers a “stronger voice”, leading some investors to doubt whether the deal will now go through.
But there are good reasons for viewing this kind of foreign direct investment as valuable to the struggling UK economy. There is research which shows that foreign-owned firms are typically more productive, more innovative and pay higher wages than their domestically- owned competitors.
There are other possible advantages too. Research also suggests that attracting foreign investment can help regional development in the UK, making a significant contribution to what has become known as “levelling up”.
But it doesn’t always work out that way. One major concern is that when business strategy decisions are made remotely, they tend to emphasise short-term gains over long-term sustainability. And apart from the issue over whether the UK’s national post carrier should be in private hands at all, there remain questions about what specific benefits foreign property would bring to Royal Mail.
A takeover of this type often leads to “restructuring”. Daniel Kretinsky has promised no changes to working conditions for two years, and to keep the Royal Mail’s tax residency (纳税身份) in UK for five years.
A successful takeover also depends on the ability of the company to generate productivity growth, usually through things like investment of capital or new technology. But it is not clear that either of them is likely in this case.
1．What does the underlined word “scrutinize” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Examine. B．Detect. C．Overlook. D．Display.
2．Why is external direct investment precious to the UK’s hard economy
A．Foreign-owned firms are more efficient and creative.
B．Foreign-owned firms can boost global competitiveness.
C．Foreign-owned firms provide more regional jobs than the local firms.
D．Foreign-owned firms bring advanced technologies and practices to the UK.
3．Which one is the current concern about Royal Mail
A．Job cuts and wage changes. B．Ownership of the national post office.
C．Unpredictable international expansion. D．A decrease in service quality for customers.
4．What can be inferred from paragraph 6
A．Royal Mall will not pay taxes within five years.
B．Royal Mall will relocate its headquarters abroad.
C．Royal Mall’s tax status could be reassessed in five years.
D．There will be no foreign influence on Royal Mall’s operations.

（24-25高三上·甘肃·阶段练习）Hawkins, born on Feb.10, 1916, in Wisconsin, is a lifelong athlete. Hawkins showed interest in cycling for much of her life before losing interest due to a lack of competition. “There wasn’t anyone left my age to compete with,” she told the NSGA in 2021.
Hawkins became a darling of the track and field world when she took up running at 100 years old. According to media reports, she started running at the urging of her children. It wasn’t long before she established her dominance in the sport, setting the 100-meter record in the 100-104 age category in 2017 with a swift finish of 39.62 seconds.
She set several other records in her age level and charmed crowds with her frankness. The great-grandmother got the name “Hurricane” on the track for her extraordinary racing capacity, but her other nickname, “The Flower Lady”, came from her love of gardening. During her races, she could be seen with her signature flower put behind her ear as she breezed across the track.
In 2021, at the age of 105, Hawkins became the first female track and field athlete in the 105+ age level to clock a time in the 100-meter dash. With a finishing time of 1’02"95, she expressed disappointment that she hadn’t performed as well as she had hoped. “It was wonderful to see so many family members and friends. But I wanted to do it in less than a minute,” she said after the race. When someone in the crowd asked whether it made her feel any better to realize that her time was still less than her age, she said, “No.”
Hlavacek, the NSGA chief, said that was precisely her sharp sense of humor. “She is a phenomenal athlete and just a very sweet woman. Very inspirational to our community, and also to the world as an athlete.”
5．What can we learn about Hawkins from the first two paragraphs
A．She had a great talent for sports. B．Her children opposed her running.
C．She found herself too old to cycle. D．She was not competitive in cycling.
6．Why was Hawkins given the nickname “The Flower Lady”
A．To promote her sale of flowers. B．In honor of her love for life.
C．To highlight her pretty appearance. D．In recognition of her athletic abilities.
7．What did Hawk ns try to convey by saying “No”
A．She wanted a shorter finishing time. B．She wouldn’t join in running any more.
C．She felt stressed to see so many friends. D．She performed as well as she had hoped.
8．What may mainly account for Hawkins’ achievements
A．The support from her community. B．Her humorous personalities.
C．Her extraordinary sportsmanship. D．Her passions to try new things.

（24-25高三上·安徽蚌埠·阶段练习）Many teenagers like to battle it out in the world of video games, but 15-year-old Ming Letian buries himself in the world of numbers: sudoku (数独). From November 6 to 7, the 13th World Sudoku Cham- pionship (WSC), attracting 248 contestants from 33 countries and regions, was held in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. The Chinese under-18 sudoku team swept the individual medals and won the team silver. As a member of the national team, Ming, the Senior 1 student from Dalian No 24 High School, Liaoning province, took the top position.
Like most people, Ming fell in love with sudoku after he first encounter the simple yet challenging game in a newspaper when he was just 6 years old. With pencil in hand, he quickly filled in a grid (方格) of 9×9 boxes so that every row, column and square contained the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition. From 2015 he learned strategies and visualization techniques from teachers; then he took to the field.
“The joy of the game is discovering new ways to solve a problem,” said Ming. “When I filled in the last squares, after an hour of thinking, I had a sense of achievement.” Solving a puzzle on a couch, however, is very different from filling in grids at the World Championship. In competition, players need to complete a variety of sudoku puzzles of different sizes, shapes and skill levels — easy, medium and hard. Every puzzle is timed, which means that players have to finish them quickly and correctly.
Although we’re not all geniuses, millions of people are still addicted to this game. “Sudoku relies on logic, not knowledge. You don’t have to know anything, basically, to do it. So why not sharpen your reasoning and give it a shot ” wrote Will Shortz, crossword editor for a newspaper.
9．What was Ming Letian’s achievement at the WSC
A．He won the team gold. B．He came in second place.
C．He won the bronze medal. D．He ranked first individually.
10．How did Ming Letian become interested in sudoku
A．He was inspired by many other role models. B．He saw the game via media at a young age.
C．He was satisfied with solving the puzzles. D．He learned about it from his math teacher.
11．What might be one of the challenges faced by players at the WSC
A．Speed and accuracy are needed for each puzzle. B．Every puzzle examines higher-order thinking.
C．Pencils are not allowed to fill in the squares. D．They have to stand up long to finish the game.
12．What can be inferred from Will Shortz’s words
A．Sudoku is mainly genius-focused. B．Sudoku is just knowledge-based.
C．Sudoku is beneficial to logical reasoning. D．Sudoku is the basis of mental growth.

（24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）Many children are natural born artists. It is hard to spot the youngest artist on Earth; however, Guinness World Records has found him. Ghanian kid Ace-Liam Ankrah, who was 2 years old in July, has been named “World’ s Youngest Male Artist” after fulfilling specific requirements needed to qualify.
Ace-Liam created his first painting at just 6 months old, titled The Crawl. His mother, artist Kuukua Eghan, needed to keep him entertained while she worked on her own projects. “I spread out a canvas (画布) on the floor and added paint to it, and then in the process of crawling he ended up spreading all the colors on the canvas,” she said. After that, motivated by his mother, he continued to paint.
The boy has created his lively, expressive works using acrylic (丙烯酸的) paint. After selecting the canvas size and paint colors, his mother lets his imagination run wild. “His abstract paintings are inspired by the world around him: colors, shapes and his mood,” says Eghan. “Every painting is an expression of his curiosity and joy in discovering new things.”
Eghan decided to apply for the record last June. In November 2023, Guinness World Records told her that to break a previous record, her son needed to exhibit his work and sell paintings. She then arranged for Ace-Liam’s first exhibition at the Museum of Science and Technology in Accra in January 2024, where nine out of 10 of his pieces listed were sold. Ghana’s first lady, Rebecca Akufo- Addo, attended the exhibition and even asked him to create a piece for her.
So far, Ace-Liam has sold 15 paintings during his brief career. There are plans to hold an auction (拍卖) soon for his new paintings, in addition to looking for new opportunities for her son, such as applying for scholarships. Overall, she hopes to inspire other parents to discover their children’s talents — and she’s happy to see how far her kid can go. “He is painting and growing and playing in the whole process,” she says.
13．What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A．How valuable Ace-Liam’s first painting is.
B．What materials were used in Ace-Liam’s painting.
C．How Eghan discovered her son’s talent for painting.
D．Why Ace-Liam became the World’s Youngest Male Artist.
14．What inspires Ace-Liam’s paintings according to Eghan
A．The works of other artists. B．Stories told by his family.
C．Familiar colors and shapes. D．His curiosity to the surroundings.
15．Why did Eghan organize an exhibition in Accra
A．To encourage her son to paint more pieces.
B．To draw the first lady’s attention to her son.
C．To assist her son to qualify for the Guinness Records.
D．To prove her son’s paintings are popular and profitable.
16．What does Eghan want to convey in the last paragraph
A．It’s never too late to start exploring talents.
B．Parents should support kids to express their talent.
C．Parents should believe all children are natural born artists.
D．It’s essential to create a relaxed environment for children.

（24-25高三上·云南普洱·阶段练习）Visitors to Paris can send a flavor of France home with their picture postcards and letters. The scent is sweet and comes from a special stamp, which shows the country’s famous bread called baguette.
One story explains the history of the bread. It goes that Napoleon Bonaparte’s bakers created the bread in a long shape to make it easier for his troops to carry. Though eating baguettes is not as popular as it once was, France still makes around 16 million per day or nearly 6 billion a year because it is typical of French food.
The stamp was released in May for the Summer Olympic Games. The unusual stamp was designed to make visitors think of the Summer Olympic Games and France. A worker in the post office, Clarisse Briend, said many visitors would pick up the stamps along with other official Paris 2024 postcards and stamps. Clarisse Briend said, “You can smell the bread, the baguette.” However, a bread shop manager Jeanne Barrere compared the scent to vanilla (香草). Baker Yasin Robin expressed his opinion that it smelt like a pie, a dessert but not the baguette itself.
The stamp sold for more than $2 at post offices and achieved what France had expected. Visitors, who picked up some unusual stamps, showed their appreciation. Pia Schndienst is a German visitor coming from the Netherlands with her family. “You just have to rub the stamp here like this with your nails. The sweet smell is impressive and comfortable,” she said.
In the opinion of Frenchmen, over the period of Olympic Games, the stamps boosted the influence of France. They were proud that the stamps contributed to a great period, a great party for everyone.
17．Why were the unusual stamps created
A．To show bakers’ skills. B．To promote baguettes.
C．To advertise French food. D．To remind people of France.
18．What can we learn from what Pia Schndienst said
A．The stamps marked French food. B．The stamps gained her appreciation.
C．She was sensitive to the sweet stamps. D．She was content with the Olympic Games.
19．What’s the attitude of Frenchmen towards the unusual stamps
A．Objective. B．Indifferent. C．Supportive. D．Opposed.
20．What’s the main idea of the text
A．Bread baguette came back to France.
B．Paris launched unique and sweet stamps.
C．France welcomed visitors with unique food.
D．Paris succeeded in holding the Olympic Games.
