（2025·广东深圳·二模）“Who says it’s Father’s Day ” my son says to me, with the questioning angry look of someone who’s been told they have extra tax to pay. “Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It’s a special day for daddies.”
Something about this — I can’t think what — comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I’ve just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身). It’s a look of suspicion, but also of tender concern for my mental state.
This is his fifth Father’s Day, so I can’t help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn’t stuck with him. I also can’t help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother’s Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense.
The event’s nearness to his own birthday two weeks from now — is making things more difficult for him to tolerate. It would seem he finds it impolite that the run-up to his special day should be interrupted so close to the finish line by a day that celebrates me, the lesser of his two parents. In any case, if he’s planning to make or gift me something, this conversation has been a masterstroke of expectation management
“So, will all daddies get a Father’s Day ” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn’t new — it’s every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven’t made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You’ve been doing it since you were born. And it’s been around longer than that. I get things for Granddad every year, too.”
At this he stirs himself up. He has never quite stopped being fascinated by the idea that his granddad is my dad, in the same way that I am his. I suppose it’s the same thrill I feel when I see pictures of massive cranes (起重机) being built by other, even bigger cranes.
“What do you get him ” he asks. “Well,” I say, “things like CDs or socks — and always a card.” At this he seems inspired. “I’ll do a card!” he says, brightening.
“You could buy me something, too. . .” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn’t be watching and get up to leave him to it.
“Yes!” he says, just in time for me to see he’s actually writing “Dear Granddad” on the page. “Don’t tell him!”

（2025·广东·一模）Sometimes a little modern technology can help turn up an ancient treasure—even if that technology is nothing more than a computer screen and a simple web search. That was what happened to Federica Gigante, a historian at the University of Cambridge, who was preparing a lecture about ancient collectors. One of those collectors was a 17th-century Italian nobleman from Verona named Ludovico Moscardo.
“I simply searched his name online,” recalled Gigante, “the search called up a picture of a room from the Museum of the Miniscalchi-Erizzo Foundation in Verona. I noticed an object on the corner that looked remarkably like an astrolabe (星盘),”she said. And she didn’t know this astrolabe would allow her to chart its journey across two continents during medieval (中世纪的) times.
Back at her computer, Gigante tracked down other photos of the object. “And that’s when I got really excited because it was a really remarkable object,” she said. It was covered in Arabic. As Gigante examined the photos of the astrolabe carefully, she realized that to understand it further she simply had to see it up close. So she made her way to Verona.
When Gigante moved the astrolabe around in the museum in Verona, she could notice some markings, which were Hebrew (希伯来语) signatures of perhaps different owners. It’s an evidence that the object was passed from Muslim to Jewish hands and that the two groups were living and working alongside one another. Additional markings suggested the astrolabe likely then fell into the hands of a Latin or Italian speaker. “It is an evidence of a period of shared existence between different groups who kept on building on each other’s knowledge and advancement, ” said Gigante.
Margaret Gaida, a historian who wasn’t involved in the study, praised Gigante’s discovery. “It’s actually really exciting because there are very few astrolabes that actually have such obvious evidence of cross-cultural interaction. These objects remind us that we have a very strong, shared scientific cultural heritage.” In addition, Gaida also explained that the astrolabe helps oppose the view that modern science was born in Europe alone.
5．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The process of Gigante’s success. B．The difficulty of Gigante’s work.
C．The content of Gigante’s lecture. D．The origin of Gigante’s study.
6．Why did Gigante decide to see the astrolabe in person
A．She was inspired by web information. B．She couldn’t get enough details online.
C．She was good at studying astrolabes. D．She wanted to learn about its owners.
7．What can be learned about the astrolabe
A．It might have three owners in history. B．It was created by many groups.
C．It belongs to an Italian now. D．It represents advanced cultures.
8．Why does the author mention Margaret Gaida’s words
A．To add to Gigante’s point of views. B．To emphasize Gigante’s contribution.
C．To show the features of modern science. D．To advocate study on cultural exchange.
（2025·广东深圳·一模）My husband Stephen and I had planned a trip to Lithuania and Poland, but his worsening heart condition prevented him from joining. He insisted I go alone, marking my first solo journey in over 20 years. Despite my fears, I set off, feeling like I was on a flying Noah’s Ark surrounded by couples.
In Vilnius, I found comfort in a website, which offered pay-what-you-choose walking tours. These tours became the highlight of my trip. I took five tours, each morning setting out to explore the city’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and sent Stephen photos each night. Our guide, Ieva, shared her deep knowledge of history and culture. I connected with travelers from various backgrounds, including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibit. I also traced my grandmother’s footsteps in Jewish Vilnius, visiting places she might have known. These tours, full of surprises, were perfect for a solo traveler, offering connection and flexibility. On my last day, Ieva gifted me a chocolate map of Lithuania for my enthusiastic participation.
I missed Stephen but grew increasingly confident in managing daily life challenges. I navigated apartment lockboxes, shopped in local supermarkets, and cooked, activities I was once less skillful at. In Poland, I continued with pay-what-you-choose tours, adapting to larger groups. I walked over 20,000 steps daily, often revisiting places from the tours or discovering street festivals. In Lodz, I took a private tour with Milena, who helped me find my family’s history, including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war.
Stephen was hospitalized just before I returned, and we spent his hospital stay looking at my trip photos and videos. His recovery was slow, but my independent travels allowed me to manage our home smoothly, benefiting us both. This journey not only reconnected me with my roots but also empowered me with a newfound confidence in my ability to travel and live on my own.

（2025·广东深圳·一模）It’s not just the athletes taking center stage at the Paralympics; the unsung heroes that ensure their success play a critical role too. Zhu Siwei, affectionately known as the ‘wheelchair doctor,’ is one of those vital contributors, combining his technical skills with a deep-seated passion for adaptive sports.
For Zhu, each malfunctioning wheelchair is like a body succumbing to a cold, a challenge that he has embraced throughout his 10-year career in wheelchair repair. At 33 years old, Zhu showcased his expertise on the world stage during this summer’s Paris Paralympics, operating in the repair centers nestled within the Paralympic Village and competition venues.
Operating as a linchpin of support, his role parallels the medical care that athletes receive. Ensuring that wheelchairs are functional and comfortable is paramount for athletes to compete effectively and to live their daily lives harmoniously. Zhu, along with a dedicated technical team, provided complimentary repairs to athletes and officials from around the world, ensuring their equipment was impeccably maintained. Every day presents its unique set of challenges, Zhu reflected. There are instances where a simple loose screw or a rust-stained part needs fixing, but other occasions require thorough examinations where repairs can span from thirty minutes to several hours.
The intricacies of wheelchair functioning can significantly affect an athlete’s performance. On the court, athletes depend entirely on their equipment; outside of competitions, these devices afford them mobility and comfort within the Paralympic Village, Zhu explained. Stationed amidst the flurry at the assistive device repair center, Zhu, alongside an array of technicians, remained steadfast in their commitment to excellence. Jennifer Duke, who managed the repair center’s front desk, noted that the team was composed of around 180skilled technicians hailing from diverse countries, including Canada, France, and the Netherlands.
13．According to the passage, what can be Zhu Siwei’s approach to his work
A．Zhu views each malfunctioning wheelchair as an opportunity to demonstrate his technical skills.
B．Zhu treats each broken wheelchair like a medical case, showing empathy and dedication in his repairs.
C．Zhu focuses primarily on the speed of repairs rather than the quality of his work.
D．Zhu sees the repair of wheelchairs as a routine task that requires minimal effort.
14．What does the underlined word “paramount” in the third paragraph mean
A．secondary. B．insignificant.
C．essential. D．optional.
15．Based on the passage, what challenges does Zhu Siwei face in his daily work at the Paralympics
A．He must travel frequently between different competition venues.
B．He deals with a wide range of issues, from simple repairs to complex examinations.
C．He primarily focuses on repairing rust-stained parts.
D．He works alone without the support of other technicians.
16．What can be inferred about the importance of wheelchair functionality for Paralympic athletes

C．Athletes rely on wheelchairs only for transportation outside of competitions.
D．The condition of the wheelchair can significantly affect an athlete’s performance.
（2025·广东梅州·一模）Finns love to read. It’s their favorite thing to do in their time off. The country is a little smaller than Montana, but its library network is extensive, with hundreds of central libraries, branch libraries and mobile libraries.
I was two years old when my family settled in Porvoo, a small city of around 50,000 people about an hour away from the capital, Helsinki. One thing it didn’t have were books in my family’s language — my first language, Albanian. I can’t say that I was ever encouraged to pick up a book. We didn’t do that in my family. But once I learned how to read Finnish, I never stopped, becoming a frequent sight at the small school library.
I was 10 years old when the new building of the main library of Porvoo opened its doors to the public. When I visited for the first time, I was so in awe that I cried. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen: endless shelves carrying tens of thousands of books, records, movies, magazines and newspapers. And the best part was that everything was free.
I rarely, however, borrowed a book, and if I did, I kept it hidden. To this day, I don’t know why that was, exactly — why it felt wrong and scary somehow to bring books home with me. Maybe I wanted to keep books to myself, a secret of some kind. Or perhaps I was just scared that something would happen to the books if they were somewhere they didn’t seem to belong. But unlike the real world, books never distressed me — even crime, horror and thriller titles — and I read everything. I would pick up a book from the shelf, sit down at a table, read, then return the book to its place and continue the next day from where I’d left off.
I spent as much time as I could in the new library — falling in love with books and stories and the Finnish language, gaining confidence as a speaker and as a child of immigrant parents, and dreaming of writing a book of my own one day, slowly growing from a reader to a writer.
17．What problem did the author meet with arriving in Finland
A．He had few friends to make with. B．He couldn’t read books in Finnish.
C．He felt discouraged to read a book. D．He couldn’t find available libraries.
18．What can be inferred about the newly-built library of Porvoo
A．It never failed to impress. B．It took a decade to build.
C．It received the most readers. D．It aroused readers’ creativity.
19．Which is closest in meaning to “distressed” in paragraph 4
A．dressed. B．surprised. C．satisfied. D．upset.
20．What’s the best title for the text
A．Read My Way Through Porvoo B．Experience Cultures of Finland
C．Pursue My Dreams in Helsinki D．Recall Old Days in Albania
（2025·广东广州·二模）When I was a kid, I hated reading until eighth grade, when my mom said, “You are going to do your reading with me, from now on.”
It was my first experience of being led through challenging books with an expert guide. Every few pages, Mom would stop and ask me questions that challenged my thinking about the text, drew me deeper into its themes and created a space to ask my own questions. And this is how I came to love reading — and came to be a professor of classic literature.
Most of my students who hate reading don’t have mothers like mine. And one-to-one tutorial is impossible in my mid-sized university. But recently, in a conversation with a friend about ways AI might make museums dynamic and interactive, I thought about books. What if AI-enabled chat windows could be introduced in a text and offer a site of real-time conversation about it with someone as smart as my mom
Then I started creating Rebind, an e-reading platform. I dictated 30 hours of answers to nearly 1,200 questions about Thoreau’s Walden and asked another 1,000 reader-interesting questions. The work was dull: just me talking into my recorder. Then it struck me that being interviewed about the book might make it pleasant, meaningful and, most importantly, dynamic. So I invited Michael Goodwin, a Thoreau expert, to ask me questions. It worked. Michael, playing an inquisitive student, drew out insights I didn’t even know I had.
This led to a key idea: if AI platforms use real conversations, about meaningful subjects, as their training ground, users are more likely to have rich, simulated (模拟的) conversations about such subjects. I tested this by interviewing the prizewinner John Banville about James Joyce’s Dubliners, and the results were remarkable. The conversations in the e-reader sounded like, and reacted like, the conversations between Banville and myself.
I’d like everyone to love reading and use AI in ways that aren’t meaningless or disappointing. In my heart, like my mother, I’m a teacher, and I believe this is one of the great teachable moments of our time.
21．Which best describes the author’s reading experience with his mother
A．Theme-based. B．Challenge-free.
C．Passive-listening. D．Question-driven.
22．Why did the author create Rebind
A．To innovate teaching methods. B．To make reading interactive.
C．To involve experts in discussion. D．To provide a platform for sharing.
23．Which of the following can best describe the author
A．Creative and devoted. B．Patient and modest.
C．Ambitious and skeptical. D．Reflective and reserved.
24．What is the best title for the text
A．How will AI transform teaching
B．AI is the future of interactive reading.
C．My reading experience with an AI-expert friend.
D．How did I transform reading with AI
（2025·广东广州·模拟预测）Last December, while leaving the gym, I noticed a messy-haired young girl who looked to be in her mid-20s, as our daughter, Lily, had been. I watched how she was trying to get a broken treadmill (跑步机) to work before she threw up her hands and made a frustrated but cute face, sort of laughing to herself. Something Lily would have done.
I used to be the mother of a 25-year-old. I used to have a young person who loved me, belonged to me, connected me to the world of young people. It’s not that I don’t know other young people, but mine is gone, lost suddenly to shock from an allergic (过敏) reaction.
Later that day, at home, I discovered a photo on my phone from December 26,2022, exactly the day after the last Christmas I spent with Lily, while she was getting ready to head home. She wasn’t in a rush, and I said, “Wait, let’s get a shot of you and me.” In that last picture, we were in the kitchen, our arms around each other. My friend pointed out it’s really a picture of us three, because Eric is behind the camera and our smiles are for him. We’ re laughing at something he said. It was a good day.
We often don’t get to know when it’s the last time. There must have been a last time I played tennis with my father, a final trip to the movies with my mother, before I lost them both to a car accident. A last dinner with my friend Julie when we thought we had plenty of time, before her cancer diagnosis changed everything. I wasn’t paying attention then, and I didn’t think I needed to.
Now I try to be soberer. I go out to the beach, where a seagull used to jump in the air to pick a French fry out of Lily’s hand when he saw her. “You saw that seagull, didn’t you ” I’m talking loud, so she can hear me over the roar of waves. I tell her I will listen in case she wants to send me a message. I remind myself to pay attention. A message can be a bird, a breeze or a shell. A message can be anything.
25．What is Lily like in the author’s impression
A．Adorable and angelic. B．Energetic and considerate.

A．To recall pleasant memories of the past. B．To make up for the pities of the past.
C．To ease the pain of losing her daughter. D．To stay connected with her daughter.
28．What does the author mainly want to tell us through this text

C．Cherish those who are present. D．Keep on moving with regret.
（2025·广东·一模）The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air as I opened my lunch box to see what my mom had prepared for me. On any other day, I would have eagerly dug into my mom’s homemade bread - a family recipe that I often enjoyed at home. But not today, the day a kind classmate had invited me, the new student, to join her friends for lunch.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of previous school lunches came flooding back. I remembered feeling self-conscious as my friends would make faces when I brought homemade bread. I had once insisted that my mom pack “regular” lunches like store-bought sandwiches, and she had reluctantly agreed. From then on, my lunches were filled with typical school fare. However, that day, she had packed a loaf of freshly baked bread from the night before.
As soon as I reached the new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch box under my seat. I sat quietly, hoping not to draw attention to myself when Emily, a new friend, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in a hesitant voice. But Emily had already seen me with my lunch, so she said, “Then, I’ll try it!”
I didn’t want to be rude, so I reluctantly pulled out my lunch box. I braced myself for their reactions, expecting them to turn up their noses. But to my surprise, Emily took a small piece of bread and took a bite. My new friends were amazed at how delicious it was. They hadn’t expected homemade bread to taste so good. I felt a wave of pride and gratitude wash over me.
When I got home that afternoon, my mom noticed the empty bread container. She hesitated before asking, “How was the food ” I paused for a moment, then replied, “It was perfect, Mom. If possible, can I still have your homemade bread for lunch tomorrow ”

（2025·广东茂名·一模）I was born missing my left hand, yet I learned to adapt. One of my earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. I gently pushed him aside and figured out a way to do it with one hand. My parents tried to make me feel ordinary, but the reality was inescapable.
When I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious, I remembered getting on the bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand. I had decided that if people knew about my missing hand, they would not want to be around me anymore.
Making friends was challenging enough, but finding love was particularly discouraging. As I started dating,I made efforts to hide my difference. Eventually we’d reach a point in the relationship where I knew I had to tell the truth. I’d think over the “big reveal” and build it up in my mind for days. When I had gathered the courage, I let out my secret over the phone and hung up in a panic. Even when I received a call, I couldn’t face discussing it, relying on the answering machine.
Everyone I shared this with — friend, co-worker or boyfriend — said kind things like, “You shouldn’t hide it.” or “It’s no big deal.” But their words didn’t matter to me. The only words that really mattered were the ones I was telling myself, that story of how I was unworthy of love.
At 28, tired of hiding, I met someone special. For the first time, I allowed someone to really hold, look at, take pictures of, touch and love my limb— love me.
That relationship ended after ten years, but I kept the self-love and compassion I learned from it. From that point on, I saw my difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden.

（2025·广东佛山·一模）Malala Yousafzai is widely acknowledged as one of the preeminent young activists on the global stage. Among her numerous accolades are her roles as an advocate for education, a human rights activist, and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Born in Mingora, Pakistan, in 1997, Malala encountered formidable challenges from a tender age, yet she emerged as a global emblem of resilience and unwavering determination.
At the tender age of 11, Malala embarked on her advocacy for girls’ education in her hometown, undeterred by the threats emanating from the Taliban, who vehemently opposed female education. Her remarkable courage and tenacity garnered international attention, but it also rendered her a high-profile target. In 2012, she was the victim of a brutal attack by a gunman while en route home from school. The assassination attempt, intended to silence her, paradoxically amplified her voice on the global stage, propelling her message to an international audience.
How did Malala Yousafzai transmute adversity into advocacy and ascend to global icon status Following her arduous recovery, she persisted in championing the right to education. Her inaugural speech at the United Nations in 2013 represented a seminal moment in her trajectory. Subsequently, she co-authored her memoir, “I Am Malala,” which ascended to international bestseller status. In 2014, at the precocious age of 17, she was conferred the Nobel Peace Prize, becoming the youngest-ever laureate for her valiant struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the universal right to education.
Malala’s activism transcends the realm of education. She has leveraged her influential platform to advocate for human rights, gender equality, and peace. Her organization, the Malala Fund, is dedicated to ensuring that every girl has access to 12 years of free, safe, and quality education. Despite the myriad challenges she has faced, Malala remains an indomitable beacon of hope and inspiration for millions across the globe.
The salient lesson we can glean from Malala Yousafzai’s extraordinary life is that even in the crucible of great peril, one can summon the courage to stand up for what is right and effect meaningful change.

（2025·广东肇庆·二模）Imagine walking across the stage to get your graduation certificate and also receiving a thousand dollars in cash. That’s what happened in the graduation ceremony in Dartmouth! But there is more — graduates couldn’t keep it all to themselves.
Robert Hale, a billionaire who owns a big telecommunications company, was present at the graduation. While delivering the speech, he told the students that he wanted to share with them the happiness that comes from giving.
So, when the 800 graduates went up to get their certificates, they each also got two envelopes, each containing $500. But they could only keep $500, and had to give the other $500 to someone else or to a charity.
The students were super excited. They cheered and clapped for almost a minute before Mr. Hale could speak again. He told them that the first $500 was a gift, but the second $500 was for them to give to someone who might need it more. Each envelope had either the word “gift” or “give” on it, to remind the graduates about the two parts of their surprise.
Some students have already decided where they will donate their money, like to community libraries, children’s theaters, or to help a poor relative going through cancer treatment. It is a cool way for them to start their adult lives by helping others. This isn’t the first time that Mr. Hale has done this kind of surprise. Actually, he has done it at other schools before, because he thinks it is a fun way to celebrate and inspire students who have worked really hard at school. He has given away more than $27 million to different charitable causes, like helping to find cures for cancer and supporting the underprivileged with their tuition fees. Thus, the final lesson that Dartmouth’s graduates learned in college is about sharing and giving. It is a graduation gift that will keep on giving, and a valuable story they will never forget.

B．To donate half of the cash.
C．To establish a charity fund.
D．To share it with good friends.
43．How did the graduates feel about Mr. Hale’s decision
A．They appreciated the opportunity to help.
B．They felt pressured to decide on a charity.
C．They agreed to donate more than required.

B．Education is the key to a shared future.
C．Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
D．Giving is a powerful way to make a difference.
（2025·广东·一模）Growing up, Stephanie Laska never worked out, preferring music class to P. E. and enjoying sugary drinks and snacks. It wasn’t until she reached her 40s, weighing around 300 pounds, that she decided to change her lifestyle. Simple diet changes, like cutting out soda and limiting desserts, helped her lose 50 pounds. But she hit a plateau (停滞期) and knew she needed to start moving.
Initially, Laska decided to just walk. Gradually, she added running to her routine, starting with just one side of a tennis court and eventually running her first mile in 2014.
Laska kept her new habit a secret at first. One day, at the park with her kids, she decided to run to catch up with them on their bikes. “The look on my daughter’s face when she saw me running was like she saw Santa Claus,” Laska recalls. That’s when she started taking her one-mile jogs up to a 5 km,10 km, half-marathon and eventually marathon distance. In 2015, she ran her first marathon and won the first place in her age group.
“What motivated me was that it wasn’t as hard as I thought,” says Laska, who has lost a total of 140 pounds and kept it off for four years. “People make huge decisions, but I just made a small choice to take a walk.” She emphasizes that these small decisions can snowball into significant changes.
Taking life one step at a time has not only improved Laska’s well-being but promoted relationships with her husband and kids and even brought on a promotion at work. When asked about the key to losing weight, Laska says, “Exercise. For me, it is not about running a marathon, but about those daily decisions to just go outside.”

（2024·广东湛江·模拟预测）Hearing the speeding cars passing us, I had to focus on the sound of my uncle’s bicycle leading the way. At thirty, with my retinas (视网膜) dying from an eye disease, driving a car was impossible and I couldn’t give up the freedom of riding my bike.
Uncle Fred pedalled steadily. I biked a few inches behind. He shouted directions at each intersection. Suddenly, his voice rose with urgency, “Carol, stop! A car is turning.”
When we reached our destination, my shoulders ached from the ride. As I sat next to Uncle Fred, he cleared his throat and said, “Carol, did you think about getting a trained Seeing Eye dog It can give you independence.” He knew I was afraid of dogs. Words stuck in my throat. But his voice cracked and planted the seed of an idea. My world shrunk as my blindness grew worse. Luckily, I had a good sense of direction, allowing me to visualize neighborhood routes. This skill could be an advantage when working with a dog.
After calculating, I finally called the guide dog school. The admission application arrived, but I still wasn’t sure. One day, I phoned my friend Robert, a longtime guide dog user in my town. He shared his positive experiences. Somehow, his words convinced me to give it a try.
During the training, the dog trainer’s coaching and each successful walk with the dogs built my confidence. As my guide dog Misty and I bonded, my shoulders relaxed. When I returned home, Uncle Fred was the first to meet Misty. Misty sat at our feet waving her tail. She must have picked up on the positive energy that circled us like a hug. Misty drove away my anxiety as I slowly opened my heart to her. Just as Uncle Fred had predicted, overcoming my fear gave me the opportunity for more independence. My new confidence came from using a guide dog, allowing me to walk tall. Uncle Fred’s advice moved my sense of joy from my bike to my dog.

（2025·广东深圳·一模）Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life-wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light — years away.
But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C． Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.
In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C． Clarke (1917—2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.
“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe.”
But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.
53．What was Liu Cixin’s occupation before he became a full-time writer
A．Science fiction author. B．English teacher.
C．Computer engineer. D．US president.
54．Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show .
A．his feeling after reading Clarke’s work
B．his love of reading science fiction
C．his interest in mysteries of the universe
D．his confusion when he started writing
55．Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth
A．To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.
B．To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.
C．To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.
D．To compare the different writing styles in the two books.
56．What is a key characteristic of Liu Cixin’s science fiction, as mentioned in the passage
A．It focuses solely on battles with aliens.
B．It is based on “hard science” and rational thinking.
C．It is purely based on daydreams and fantasy.
D．It avoids exploring themes of survival and civilization.
（2025·广东·一模）From popular pies to Happy Meals, a food writer recreates American classics with an Asian flavor. Frankie Gaw’s social media page is filled with videos of creations like these — items people won’t usually find at your local American store. Gaw is an Asian American food creator and author of the cookbook First Generation.
“I asked myself, since the world has embraced all of these diverse flavors, what are the things that Asian Americans would want to see ” Gaw talked about how his popular social media cooking series “Turning American classics Asian” came to be. Growing up, Gaw felt like he was living a specific life. In public, Gaw enjoyed McDonald’s chicken and fries. At home, he ate his grandmother’s beef noodle soup. It took time for him to embrace his two tastes.
Years later in his Seattle apartment, Gaw began experimenting with his childhood favorites. He made cream of mushroom soup and turned it into porridge. Gaw shared his food on social media. It took off. His food and his experiences at the grocery store received strong feedback, especially from other Asian Americans. “It was a surprise. I didn’t realize so many people had similar experiences as me,” he said.
The project also came from Gaw’s Midwestern roots. In his neighborhood, restaurants were synonymous (代名词) with fast food. Late nights with his parents at the McDonald’s drive-through were common as a kid, because his parents were often tired after long hours at work. “It was a reminder of how they were occupied,” he said.
In Gaw’ s version of a Happy Meal, he made Baozi and combined pork with vegetables, topping it off with chili sauce. As he cooked, he thought about his father, his mother, his grandparents — and the comfort that these dishes would have brought them as they were adjusting to life in America. He said, “To see their food at a fast food restaurant, I think it would have made them feel like they have a seat at the table.”
57．What do we know about Gaw’s social media contents
A．They are concerned with the most delicious food.
B．They are about how to cook tasty dishes.
C．They are rare in most American restaurants.
D．They are really beneficial to American cooks.
58．What does Gaw think of his childhood life
A．It was common. B．It was double.
C．It was boring. D．It was sweet.
59．Why did Gaw often eat fast food as a child
A．He really enjoyed fast food. B．His parents were busy with work.
C．Restaurants mainly offered fast food. D．It was convenient to drive to McDonald.
60．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Gaw keeps a happy mood while eating.
B．The fast food restaurants are often crowded.
C．The Asian dishes made Gaw’s elders satisfied.
D．Gaw’s parents taught him to cook Asian dishes.

1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者告诉儿子父亲节也是需要为父亲庆祝的，而儿子不以为然的故事。
1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段““Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It’s a special day for daddies.” (“好吧，世界知道。”我告诉他，突然有点难为情。“对爸爸们来说，这是一个特别的日子。”)”及第二段“Something about this — I can’t think what — comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I’ve just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身).(关于这件事—我想不出是什么—听起来很绝望，他看着我，好像我刚刚建议他用脸上的纹身来证明他对我的爱。)”可知，当和儿子解释父亲节时，作者有一些尴尬和难为情。故选B。
2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This is his fifth Father’s Day, so I can’t help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn’t stuck with him. I also can’t help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother’s Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense.(这是他的第五个父亲节了，所以我忍不住感到有点受伤，因为他没有坚持这个概念。我也不得不指出，他对母亲节从来没有任何这样的问题，这对他来说一直是常识。)”可推知，儿子对父亲节没有概念，但是却记得母亲节，因此，儿子更认同母亲节而不是父亲节。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第五段““So, will all daddies get a Father’s Day ” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn’t new — it’s every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven’t made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You’ve been doing it since you were born. And it’s been around longer than that. I get things for Granddad every year, too.”(“那么，所有的爸爸都会有父亲节吗 ”他问道。“是的，”我回答，“而且这不是新的—每年都是!”我试图调整我的声音/冒犯，但也非常清楚地表明，这不是我自己当场编造的想法。“你一出生就在做这件事。它存在的时间比那还长。我每年也给爷爷买东西。”)”可知，作者提及自己给爷爷买东西，是为了说明父亲节自己也要给父亲庆祝，是为了给一年一度的父亲节庆祝活动正名。故选A。
4．主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段““You could buy me something, too. . .” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn’t be watching and get up to leave him to it.(“你也可以给我买点东西……”我开始说，但他不再听了，跑去抓彩纸和闪闪发光的笔。我不想提前一周看到他对我的致敬，我笑着告诉他我真的不应该看，然后站起来让他自己发挥。)”及最后一段““Yes!” he says, just in time for me to see he’s actually writing “Dear Granddad” on the page. “Don’t tell him!”(“是的，”他说，正好让我看到他真的在纸上写了“亲爱的爷爷”。“别告诉他!”)”可知，全文讲述了作者告诉儿子父亲节也是一年一度的节日，需要给父亲庆祝，但儿子最后却给爷爷做了一张卡片，因此，C选项“我儿子似乎对为我庆祝父亲节这件事不太上心。”可以最好的概括全文。故选C。
5．D 6．B 7．A 8．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了剑桥大学历史学家Federica Gigante通过简单的网络搜索发现了一个古代星盘，并通过进一步研究揭示了该星盘在不同文化之间的传承历史。
5．主旨大意题。根据第二段“I simply searched his name online,”recalled Gigante,“the search called up a picture of a room from the Museum of the Miniscalchi-Erizzo Foundation in Verona. I noticed an object on the corner that looked remarkably like an astrolabe (星盘),”she said. And she didn’t know this astrolabe would allow her to chart its journey across two continents during medieval (中世纪的) times.(“我只是在网上搜索了他的名字，” Gigante回忆说，“搜索结果显示了维罗纳迷你卡尔奇-埃里佐基金会博物馆的一个房间的照片。我注意到角落里有一个东西，看起来非常像一个星盘，”她说。她也不知道这个星盘能让她记录中世纪穿越两大洲的旅程)”可知，Gigante研究的起源。故选D。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段“As Gigante examined the photos of the astrolabe carefully, she realized that to understand it further she simply had to see it up close.(当Gigante仔细查看星盘的照片时，她意识到要进一步了解它，就必须亲自去看一看。)”可知，Gigante决定亲自去看星盘是因为在线照片无法提供足够的细节。故选B。
7．推理判断题。根据第四段“When Gigante moved the astrolabe around in the museum in Verona, she could notice some markings, which were Hebrew(希伯来语)signatures of perhaps different owners. It’s an evidence that the object was passed from Muslim to Jewish hands and that the two groups were living and working alongside one another. Additional markings suggested the astrolabe likely then fell into the hands of a Latin or Italian speaker.(当Gigante在维罗纳的博物馆里移动星盘时，她注意到一些标记，可能是不同主人的希伯来签名。这是一个证据，表明这件物品是从穆斯林手中传到犹太人手中的，这两个群体在一起生活和工作。额外的标记表明，星盘可能落入了说拉丁语或意大利语的人手中。）可推断，星盘可能有过三个主人：穆斯林、犹太人和拉丁语或意大利语使用者。故选A。
8．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Margaret Gaida, a historian who wasn’t involved in the study, praised Gigante’s discovery. “It’s actually really exciting because there are very few astrolabes that actually have such obvious evidence of cross-cultural interaction. These objects remind us that we have a very strong, shared scientific cultural heritage.” In addition, Gaida also explained that the astrolabe helps oppose the view that modern science was born in Europe alone.(没有参与这项研究的历史学家Margaret Gaida称赞了Gigante的发现。“这真的很令人兴奋，因为很少有星盘能证明跨文化互动。这些物品提醒我们，我们拥有非常强大的、共同的科学文化遗产。”此外，盖达还解释说，星盘有助于反驳现代科学只诞生于欧洲的观点)”可知，提到Margaret Gaida的话是为了强调Gigante的贡献。故选B项。
9．C 10．B 11．D 12．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因丈夫健康问题独自旅行的经历，通过探索家族历史和个人成长，获得了新的自信和独立能力。
9．细节理解题。根据第一段中“My husband Stephen and I had planned a trip to Lithuania and Poland, but his worsening heart condition prevented him from joining. He insisted I go alone, marking my first solo journey in over 20 years. (我和我的丈夫斯蒂芬计划了一次去立陶宛和波兰的旅行，但他的心脏病恶化，使他无法同行。他坚持让我独自前往，这成为我二十多年来第一次独自旅行。)” 可知，作者选择独自旅行是因为丈夫身体不好。故选C。
10．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I connected with travelers from various backgrounds, including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibit. (我与来自不同背景的旅行者建立了联系，其中包括一位邀请我参观艺术展览的波兰教授。)”可知，作者与来自不同背景的旅行者建立了联系。故选B。
11．细节理解题。根据第三段中“In Lodz, I took a private tour with Milena, who helped me find my family's history, including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war. (在罗兹，我和米莱娜一起进行了一次私人旅行，她帮我探寻了家族的历史，包括我姑婆们的住所，以及她们在战争期间所遭受的苦难。)”可知，在罗兹的私人旅行中，作者了解了更多关于她家族的历史。故选D。
12．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“His recovery was slow, but my independent travels allowed me to manage our home smoothly, benefiting us both. This journey not only reconnected me with my roots but also empowered me with a newfound confidence in my ability to travel and live on my own. (他的康复过程很缓慢，但我这次独自旅行让我能够从容地打理我们的家，这对我们两人都有好处。这次旅程不仅让我重新寻回了自己的根脉渊源，还赋予了我一种新的自信，让我相信自己有能力独自旅行和生活。)”以及文中作者独自旅行，在旅行中处理各种事务，如管理公寓锁箱、在当地超市购物、做饭等，可知作者能够独立处理很多事情，她是独立的。故选A。
13．B 14．C 15．B 16．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了朱思伟在残奥会期间作为“轮椅医生”为运动员提供轮椅维修服务的故事，突出了他在工作中的专业精神和奉献精神。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段中“For Zhu, each malfunctioning wheelchair is like a body succumbing to a cold, a challenge that he has embraced throughout his 10 year career in wheelchair repair. (对朱思伟来说，每一辆出现故障的轮椅就像一个患上感冒的身体，这是他在10年轮椅维修生涯中一直迎接的挑战。)”可知，朱思伟把每一辆坏了的轮椅当作一个医疗案例，体现出他在维修工作中的同理心和敬业精神。故选B项。
14．词句猜测题。结合常识和划线词所在句“Ensuring that wheelchairs are functional and comfortable is paramount for athletes to compete effectively and to live their daily lives harmoniously. (确保轮椅功能正常且舒适，对于运动员有效参赛和和谐地过日常生活是……)”中“for athletes to compete effectively and to live their daily lives harmoniously”可推知，轮椅功能正常且舒适，是运动员有效参赛和和谐生活的前提条件，是至关重要的。所以划线词paramount的意思是“至关重要的”，与C项“essential”同义。故选C项。
15．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Every day presents its unique set of challenges, Zhu reflected. There are instances where a simple loose screw or a rust stained part needs fixing, but other occasions require thorough examinations where repairs can span from thirty minutes to several hours. (朱思伟回忆说，每天都有独特的挑战。有时只需要修理一个松动的螺丝或一个生锈的部件，但在其他情况下，则需要进行全面检查，维修时间可能从30分钟到几个小时不等。)”可知，他在日常工作中要应对从简单维修到复杂检查等各种各样的挑战。故选B项。
16．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The intricacies of wheelchair functioning can significantly affect an athlete’s performance. On the court, athletes depend entirely on their equipment; outside of competitions, these devices afford them mobility and comfort within the Paralympic Village (轮椅功能的复杂性会显著影响运动员的表现。在赛场上，运动员完全依赖他们的设备；在比赛之外，这些设备为他们在残奥村提供行动能力和舒适感)”可知，轮椅的状况会对运动员的表现产生重大影响。故选D项。
17．B 18．A 19．D 20．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家来到波尔沃定居，作者通过阅读来融入当地的生活的经历。
17．细节理解题。根据第二段“One thing it didn’t have were books in my family’s language — my first language, Albanian. I can’t say that I was ever encouraged to pick up a book. We didn’t do that in my family. But once I learned how to read Finnish, I never stopped, becoming a frequent sight at the small school library.(有一样东西是没有的，那就是用我的母语阿尔巴尼亚语写的书。我不能说我曾经被鼓励去拿起一本书。我们家没有这样做。但是，一旦我学会了如何阅读芬兰语，我就再也没有停下来，成为学校小图书馆的常客)”可知，作者到达芬兰时看不懂芬兰语的书。故选B。
18．推理判断题。根据第三段“It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen: endless shelves carrying tens of thousands of books, records, movies, magazines and newspapers. And the best part was that everything was free. (这是我见过的最美的东西：无尽的架子上放着成千上万的书籍、唱片、电影、杂志和报纸。最棒的是一切都是免费的)”可知，波尔沃新建的图书馆总是给人留下深刻的印象。故选A。
19．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Or perhaps I was just scared that something would happen to the books if they were somewhere they didn’t seem to belong.(或许我只是害怕如果这些书被放到了它们似乎不属于的地方，会发生什么事)”以及后文“even crime, horror and thriller titles — and I read everything(甚至是犯罪、恐怖和惊悚小说——我什么都读)”可知，上文提到了作者担心书籍出现在不属于它们的地方会发生什么事情，结合“But unlike the real world”中but表示转折，说明但与现实世界不同的是，书从来不会让作者沮丧——即使是犯罪、恐怖和惊悚类的书——作者什么书都读。故划线词意思是“沮丧的”。故选D。
20．主旨大意题。根据第三段“I was 10 years old when the new building of the main library of Porvoo opened its doors to the public. When I visited for the first time, I was so in awe that I cried.(当波尔沃主图书馆的新楼向公众开放时，我才10岁。当我第一次去参观的时候，我被吓哭了)”结合文章主要讲述了作者一家来到波尔沃定居，作者通过阅读来融入当地的生活的经历。从而推知，A选项“在波尔沃一路阅读”最符合文章标题。故选A。
21．D 22．B 23．A 24．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候在妈妈的引导下爱上阅读，后来想到利用人工智能让阅读变得更具互动性，创建了Rebind这个电子阅读平台，并介绍了创建的过程和测试的结果。
21．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Every few pages, Mom would stop and ask me questions that challenged my thinking about the text, drew me deeper into its themes and created a space to ask my own questions.(每隔几页，妈妈就会停下来问我一些问题，挑战我对课文的思考，让我更深入地了解它的主题，并为我提出自己的问题创造了一个空间)”可知，作者和妈妈一起阅读时，妈妈每隔几页就会停下来问问题，挑战作者对文本的思考，让作者更深入地思考主题，还创造了让作者提问的空间。由此推知，作者和妈妈的阅读体验是以问题驱动的。故选D项。
22．细节理解题。根据第三段“Most of my students who hate reading don’t have mothers like mine. And one-to-one tutorial is impossible in my mid-sized university. But recently, in a conversation with a friend about ways AI might make museums dynamic and interactive, I thought about books. What if AI-enabled chat windows could be introduced in a text and offer a site of real-time conversation about it with someone as smart as my mom (我的大多数讨厌读书的学生都没有像我这样的母亲。在我的中等规模的大学里，一对一的辅导是不可能的。但最近，在与一位朋友谈论人工智能如何使博物馆充满活力和互动性时，我想到了书籍。如果启用人工智能的聊天窗口可以在文本中引入，并提供一个与像我妈妈一样聪明的人进行实时对话的网站，那会怎么样？)”以及后面作者创建Rebind的过程可知，作者创建Rebind是为了让阅读变得像和妈妈一起阅读时那样具有互动性，让讨厌阅读的学生也能喜欢上阅读。故选B项。
23．推理判断题。作者从和妈妈一起阅读的经历中获得启发，想到利用人工智能让阅读更具互动性，创建了Rebind这个电子阅读平台，体现了作者的创造性；并且作者投入大量时间和精力进行平台的创建，如第四段中“I dictated 30 hours of answers to nearly 1,200 questions about Thoreau’s Walden and asked another 1,000 reader-interesting questions.(我听写了30个小时，回答了近1200个关于梭罗《瓦尔登湖》的问题，并问了另外1000个读者感兴趣的问题)”，还邀请专家参与，不断测试和改进，体现了作者的专注和投入，A选项“有创造力且专注的”正确。故选A项。
24．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者小时候在妈妈的引导下爱上阅读，后来想到利用人工智能让阅读变得更具互动性，创建了Rebind这个电子阅读平台，并介绍了创建的过程和测试的结果，所以文章主要围绕作者如何利用人工智能改变阅读展开。由此可知，D选项“我是如何用人工智能改变阅读的？”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。
25．A 26．A 27．D 28．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者看到与女儿年龄相仿的女孩，忆起已逝女儿。又想起失去父母和朋友的经历，感慨应珍惜当下，如今常去海滩与女儿“对话”。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“I watched how she was trying to get a broken treadmill (跑步机) to work before she threw up her hands and made a frustrated but cute face, sort of laughing to herself. Something Lily would have done. (我看着她如何试图让一台坏了的跑步机工作，然后她举起双手，做了一个沮丧但可爱的脸，有点自嘲。Lily会做的事。)”可知，Lily在面对跑步机坏掉时，做出沮丧又可爱的表情，还自我解嘲地笑，所以在作者印象中Lily是可爱而温柔的。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Later that day, at home, I discovered a photo on my phone from December 26,2022, exactly the day after the last Christmas I spent with Lily, while she was getting ready to head home. She wasn’t in a rush, and I said, “Wait, let’s get a shot of you and me.” In that last picture, we were in the kitchen, our arms around each other. My friend pointed out it’s really a picture of us three, because Eric is behind the camera and our smiles are for him. We’ re laughing at something he said. (那天晚些时候，在家里，我在手机上发现了一张2022年12月26日的照片，正是我和Lily度过的最后一个圣诞节的第二天，当时她正准备回家。她并不着急，我说：“等等，让我们拍一张你和我的照片。”在最后一张照片中，我们在厨房里，双臂搂着对方。我的朋友指出，这真的是我们三个人的照片，因为Eric在镜头后面，我们的笑容都是为了他。我们因他说的话而发笑。)”可知，当时照片拍摄时，作者和Lily没有匆忙行事，Eric给作者和女儿愉快而随意地拍照，但当时作者并未意识到这会是和Lily的最后一张照片，所以，当时，它并没有太大意义。故选A。
27．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I go out to the beach, where a seagull used to jump in the air to pick a French fry out of Lily’s hand when he saw her. “You saw that seagull, didn’t you ” I’m talking loud, so she can hear me over the roar of waves. I tell her I will listen in case she wants to send me a message. (我去了海滩，在那里，一只海鸥看到Lily时，会跳到空中，从她手里抓薯条。“你看见那只海鸥了，是吗？”我大声说话，这样她就能在海浪的咆哮声中听到我。我告诉她，如果她想给我发信息，我会听的。)”可知，作者去海滩是希望通过与和女儿有关的场景，与女儿保持某种联系。故选D。
28．主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“We often don’t get to know when it’s the last time. There must have been a last time I played tennis with my father, a final trip to the movies with my mother, before I lost them both to a car accident. A last dinner with my friend Julie when we thought we had plenty of time, before her cancer diagnosis changed everything. I wasn’t paying attention then, and I didn’t think I needed to. (我们常常不知道这是最后一次。那一定是我最后一次和父亲打网球，和母亲最后一次去看电影，然后我就因为车祸失去了他们俩。最后一次和我的朋友Julie共进晚餐时，我们认为我们有足够的时间，在她的癌症诊断改变了一切之前。当时我没有注意，我也不认为我需要注意。)”可知，文章通过讲述作者失去女儿、父母、朋友等经历，意识到常常在不经意间就度过了与亲人朋友的最后时光，从而提醒人们要珍惜当下身边的人。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者原本因怕同学嘲笑妈妈做的自制面包而抵触，后来新同学品尝后赞不绝口，作者决定继续享受妈妈做的面包。
29．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“On any other day, I would have eagerly dug into my mom’s homemade bread - a family recipe that I often enjoyed at home. (在其他任何一天，我都会迫不及待地啃着妈妈自制的面包——这是我经常在家里享用的家庭食谱。)”可知，作者之前一直是吃妈妈自制的面包，并且非常喜欢。结合划线词所在句“I had once insisted that my mom pack ‘regular’ lunches like store bought sandwiches, and she had reluctantly agreed. (我曾经坚持让妈妈给我准备像商店买的三明治那样的“普通”午餐，她reluctantly地同意了。)”中“insisted”可推知，对于作者突然提出要“商店买的三明治”的要求，习惯了给孩子自制面包的妈妈是不情愿的，在作者的坚持下才勉强同意。由此推知，reluctantly的意思应是“不情愿地、犹豫地”，与B项“Hesitantly”同义。故选B项。
30．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I remembered feeling self conscious as my friends would make faces when I brought homemade bread. (我记得当我带自制面包时，朋友们会做鬼脸，我会感到很不自在。)”和第三段“As soon as I reached the new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch box under my seat. (我一到新的午餐桌旁，就试图把我的午餐盒藏在座位下面。)”可知，作者藏午餐盒是怕朋友嘲笑她的自制面包。故选B项。
31．细节理解题。根据第四段中“I felt a wave of pride and gratitude wash over me. (我感到一阵自豪和感激涌上心头。)”可知，新朋友品尝自制面包后，作者感到自豪和感激。故选C项。
32．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ I paused for a moment, then replied, “It was perfect, Mom. If possible, can I still have your homemade bread for lunch tomorrow ” (我停了一下，然后回答说：‘妈妈，这太棒了。如果可以的话，明天午餐我还能吃你做的自制面包吗 ’)”可推断出，作者将继续享用妈妈做的自制面包当午餐。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了天生缺少左手的作者从隐藏自身缺陷到最终接纳自我独特性的心路历程，强调了自我接纳的重要性。
33．细节理解题。根据第一段“I gently pushed him aside and figured out a way to do it with one hand.(我轻轻推开父亲，用一只手找到了系鞋带的方法)”可知，作者通过自己的方式解决了系鞋带问题。故选C项。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Everyone I shared this with — friend, co-worker or boyfriend — said kind things like, “You shouldn’t hide it.” or “It’s no big deal.” But their words didn’t matter to me. The only words that really mattered were the ones I was telling myself, that story of how I was unworthy of love(每个和我分享这件事的人——朋友、同事或男朋友——都会说些善意的话，比如“你不应该隐藏它。”或者“这没什么大不了的。”但他们的话对我没有意义。真正重要的是我告诉自己的那些话，那些关于我不值得被爱的故事)”可知别人的话对作者来说没有意义，作者认为重要的是那些关于自己不值得被爱的故事，可推理出作者在分享缺陷后并未被他人言语打动，仍陷于自我否定中。故选B项。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“That relationship ended after ten years, but I kept the self-love and compassion I learned from it. From that point on, I saw my difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden(那段关系在十年后结束了，但我已经拥有了从那段关系中学到的自爱和同理心。从那时起，我认为我的不同之处是我独特而美丽的一部分，是应该展示而不是隐藏的)”可知作者在关系结束后，拥有了从那段关系中学到的自爱和同理心，认为应该展示而不是隐藏，可推理出作者形成了积极的心态。故选A项。
36．主旨大意题。根据第一段“I was born missing my left hand, yet I learned to adapt. One of my earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. I gently pushed him aside and figured out a way to do it with one hand. My parents tried to make me feel ordinary, but the reality was inescapable(我一出生就缺少左手，但我学会了适应。我最早的记忆之一是我爸爸试图教我系鞋带。我轻轻地把他推到一边，想出了用一只手系鞋带的方法。我的父母尽力让我觉得自己和其他人一样，但现实是无法逃避的)”、倒数第三段“Everyone I shared this with — friend, co-worker or boyfriend — said kind things like, “You shouldn’t hide it.” or “It’s no big deal.” But their words didn’t matter to me. The only words that really mattered were the ones I was telling myself, that story of how I was unworthy of love(每个和我分享这件事的人——朋友、同事或男朋友——都会说些善意的话，比如“你不应该隐藏它。”或者“这没什么大不了的。”但他们的话对我没有意义。真正重要的是我告诉自己的那些话，那些关于我不值得被爱的故事)”以及最后一段“That relationship ended after ten years, but I kept the self-love and compassion I learned from it. From that point on, I saw my difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden(那段关系在十年后结束了，但我已经拥有了从那段关系中学到的自爱和同理心。从那时起，我认为我的不同之处是我独特而美丽的一部分，是应该展示而不是隐藏的)”可知，作者天生残疾，全文围绕作者从自卑到接纳身体独特性的转变展开，作者最后认为自己应该展示而不是隐藏，D项“The Acceptance of Uniqueness(接纳独特性)”表达的含义准确概括了文章主旨，适合用作本文标题，故选D项。
