2025年高考英语复习新题速递之记叙文阅读理解
一．阅读理解（共20小题）
1．（2024秋 驻马店期末） I come from a place renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and complex history.Growing up beneath chinar trees，I learned to see them as symbols of endurance，each branch a witness to centuries of conflict and suffering.
In my hometown，carrying identification is as routine as carrying one's keys—a daily practice that acknowledges the underlying（潜在的）tension in our lives.
When I moved to Shanghai from abroad for my PhD at Tongji University in 2022，I thought that this same instinct（本能）for caution would stay.But Shanghai offered something unexpected：a life shaped not by caution but by trust.
Here in Shanghai，people leave bicycles unlocked，bags unattended，and walk freely without a second thought about their safety.You pick up deliveries without showing your ID，and people treat you not as an outsider but as someone who belongs here.
It revealed a truth about human nature I had not fully understood that trust could be a foundation，a quiet norm rather than something rare.For the first time，I felt what it was like to trust a city itself，letting it hold me gently and carefully in its arms without the caution I'd long carried.
In my hometown，safety is something we manage cautiously.We carry identification not as an option but as an unspoken rule，and we find our way through life with an awareness sharpened by necessity.But in Shanghai，safety is an unspoken promise rather than a guarded privilege（特权）.I can walk alone at night without looking over my shoulder or even thinking to bring my ID—a freedom that felt almost unreal at first.
Living in Shanghai has reshaped not only my understanding of trust and safety but also my understanding of home.For so long，home was connected with my hometown，to its chinar trees and its cautious routines.But Shanghai has shown me that home can be found in a sense of peace and freedom，in the ability to walk through life unburdened by caution.Home is not merely a place；it's a feeling rooted in safety，comfort，and the freedom to be oneself without restraint.

2．（2024秋 赫章县期末） Lexie Alford，21，said she recently became the youngest person to visit every country.Though her achievement is yet to be confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records，Alford said she had been to 196 countries.While her adventures may have looked attractive and exciting on her social media account，Alford faced various difficulties such as visa rejections，financial struggles，and health issues like malaria and food poisoning.
For most people，the barrier to seeing the world is lack of money，but Alford managed to fund her travels largely on her own.She started doing various jobs and saving everything she had earned since she was 12 years old.Additionally，her mother owns a travel agency and it has helped her find the best deals and book ahead of time，contributing to significant savings on flights and hotels.
As a solo（独自的） female traveler，Alford made safety a top concern when deciding how long to stay in a country，in addition to budget and personal interest.She spent over a month in countries like Egypt and Switzerland，where there was so much she could do and there were ways to make those trips financially reasonable.Then there are some countries like Mali，South Sudan and Somalia which she would have loved to spend more than a few days exploring，but unfortunately she didn't have enough money to take the proper security precautions（预防措施） necessary to travel throughout those countries.
Despite experiencing intense loneliness at times，Alford thinks that solo travel is a rewarding experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives.
After her travels，Alford now believes that every problem has a solution if you work hard enough.There are also a lot of sacrifices（舍弃） you have to make if you want to travel the world，but if it's something you're truly passionate about，it only takes courage to pursue it.

3．（2024秋 赫章县期末） Walking is the best form of exercise.It is good for the upper respiratory（与呼吸有关的）system and the legs.It helps us control our weight and blood sugar.Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends，bringing chances to see new things and meet new people.Personally I try to walk at least 5 miles daily.
As well as walking，I also cycle around Xiamen.Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina（耐力）.However，cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk.It is for this reason that I will strongly suggest that you try long﹣distance walking if you want to be physically healthy.I originally started walking around Xiamen because I didn't have a car，but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake.
I have also made many friends during my walks.It's not uncommon for my 5﹣mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours，because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route.These days，if I skip my walk for even one day，the people in the shops may want to know why I didn't come.
I'll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking，and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me.I really didn't know what to say，so I just replied that I didn't mind.I have been invited for lunch，dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers.There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.

4．（2025 辽宁模拟） Growing up in rural Hungary，Krisztina Christmon Ph.D.，always imagined taking over her grandparents' farm one day.But by the time she graduated from university，the farm had been sold，because her grandfather suffered a major accident while burning plastic agricultural waste.
Years later，Christmon realized she could honor her grandfather's memory and support the farming community in a different way：by ensuring farmers never have to burn plastics in the first place.
In 2021，she co﹣founded a startup called Repurpose Farm Plastic that aims to collect and clean farmers' unwanted plastics.Once treated，these commonly used items can be recycled into other useful products.
Christmon's team participated in Innovation Corps （I﹣Corps），an entrepreneurial training program，where Christmon's mentors（导师） encouraged her to turn her idea into a startup."I thought business wasn't for me﹣I'm a scientist!"she said."But when we conducted interviews with farmers，everyone was so eager to talk to us.Every farmer told us they would pay the same for a trash removal service or more for recycling pickup.I thought，"OK，if no one else is working on this，I guess it's going to be me.""
Christmon launched Repurpose Farm Plastic with help from I﹣Corps，and built the plastic cleaning equipment，which is currently ready for mass production.Their machine﹣a little larger than a dining table﹣does not rely on water.It uses a drying technology to remove 99% of the dirt from agricultural plastics.Once cleaned，these plastics can be handed off to companies that ultimately transform them into furniture，decking and similar items.Christmon says this not only reduces wastefulness but also serves a greater environmental good.
Christmon and Rickles hope to start collecting plastic from farms and launch the business soon.Building a startup has been a major time commitment，but she doesn't mind as long as she's helping people and the environment in the process.

5．（2025 毕节市模拟） Last year，my husband and I made a decision to develop a sense of community in our 12﹣storey apartment building.We live in a modest rented flat in Park Merced，a vast residential complex.Our financial status can be described as lower﹣middle﹣class.Many of our neighbors are nurses，bus drivers，and skilled workers，with a significant number being first or second﹣generation immigrants.As renters，we often move around and rarely view our living spaces as permanent homes.However，we believed it was possible to change this mindset to make our building a welcoming and connected place for us everyone.
We began by organizing a monthly two﹣hour gathering in the building's hall on the second Friday of every month.Attendance varied，with between 15 and 30 people showing up each time.These events mainly involved chatting，snacking，and enjoying some juice.While the gatherings were pleasant，most residents chose not to participate.One day，while visiting the nearby San Francisco State University campus，I encountered a student from a social club who had a large sign promoting "Building Community." I asked him how they achieved this.He explained that they encouraged members to share something personal with at least one other person.This idea gave me inspiration.
Therefore，I purchased a large world map and，during one of our social events，I taped it to the hall wall with signs that read， "Where We're From.Place a green sticker on your birthplace and a yellow sticker on your grandparents' birthplace." People placed their stickers and checked out where others were from.We left the map up overnight，and on the following Saturday，even more people joined in.I intended to keep the map and stickers up for a month or longer.They definitely added more interest to the hall，which usually had a plain housing look.
I understand there will be challenges ahead，but I firmly believe that a strong community can enhance our quality of life.I have the time and energy to commit to this effort.

6．（2025 吉林模拟） Adams Cassinga has had many identities：refugee（难民），journalist，mining consultant.And now，defender of wildlife.
As a child，he was fascinated by animals﹣gorillas living in the forests outside his hometown of Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo（DRC）﹣but his path to conservation was winding.His father，who feared Adams would be taken as a child soldier，sent him to South Africa.In Johannesburg，Adams learnt to survive on the streets while teaching himself English in public libraries.After he was granted official refugee status，he studied journalism and landed his first job working for a local newspaper.While working as an investigative reporter in 2006，Adams was shot three times!Adams changed career paths again，this time to work in the profitable mining industry in South Africa.In this role，he returned years later to the DRC to visit gold mines.

7．（2025 北京校级模拟） I watched the earth get smaller and smaller below me.It all looked very far away，especially given that I was to journey all the way back to the ground with a parachute （降落伞）.I looked at the door on the side of the aircraft and thought about why I was there.
Today should have been my granny's 80th birthday.But she passed away from cancer when she was 76.Milestone birthdays were a big deal for my granny.She marked her 50th year by running her first marathon，her 60th year by learning to swim so she could do her first triathlon （铁人三项），and her 70th year by jumping out of a plane.I know she was afraid to jump out of the plane that day，but she wanted to make that jump and met her fear with joy and determination，qualities that defined how she lived through everything —raising my father and my aunt，marathons，triathlons，cancer.
I started the day looking at her birthday photos，eagerly wondering what she would do for today.I wanted to transport myself into the plane with her，ask her everything about how she was feeling and why she was there，and hear her answering every question I regret never asking her.Actually，I miss her so much and always find it hard to decide what to do with the big days like her birthdays.
Feeling lost in my thoughts，I went for a run but only made it a few blocks before I was hit with an unstoppable thought. "I should've gone skydiving today." It came out of nowhere.But once it was in my head，I couldn't shake it.I pulled out my phone and searched for "skydiving Oregon".I clicked on the first result and the first thing I saw was blue text on the bottom corner of the website — "Call for same day appointments".That is how I found myself high up at the back of a plane.
"You can always back out，" my brother reminded me，when I called him on my way to the skydiving place.But I didn't.Something had kept me going.I just kept seeing my granny，staring out the plane window，smiling wide.And I had been surprised that it wasn't just fear I was feeling.As I took off，my smile was as wide as my granny's.
The door slid open.Every nerve ending in my body flashed red.I didn't back out.I wanted to live the day as my granny would have —in a brave，wholehearted way.Today，that meant jumping out of a plane.

8．（2025 江西模拟） In college，I usually anticipated icebreaker games at the start of some classes.We would introduce ourselves.It was fun to see the look of surprise on everyone's face when I said I was a chemical engineering major in creative writing seminars where most were English or comparative literature majors.A science major？In this building？Is he lost？
Their surprise would usually fade once the semester began and they learned that I wasn't very good.But it didn't matter，I loved the writing classes.I didn't much care﹣﹣how and whether my classes would impact my career.I liked science and writing，so maybe I'd combine them，or maybe not.
But I know my experience is not exactly typical for scientists.I'm sure some students love science so intensely，or excel at it so much，that they have no interest in non﹣science classes.And science students may find the workload so high that pursuing outside academic interests is impractical.
But I have this fear that some science students avoid branching out，not because they don't want to，but because they believe they 're not supposed to.They see their peers keeping their heads down，only focused on science，science，science，and they don't want to be the freaks（怪人） who admit loving their optional medieval history seminar.I've seen this trait in the students I taught.
In college，although my department head let me take writing classes，other professors didn't share the same open﹣mindedness.I sometimes doubted whether it was what I was supposed to do.The science，we're told，either explicitly or implicitly，is the important part.The other subjects are either requirements to bear or distractions to give up halfway.A good grade in organic chemistry？Amazing!You're going places!A good grade in a poetry seminar？Well..
You can be a scientist and do other things，too—and the time when you're enrolled in school is a perfect opportunity.In college，so many options for classes!You suddenly transition from a life where it's presumed that you have known enough to live to one with a diversity of choices.
So go ahead，add a class，add a hobby.Be well﹣rounded—yes，that well﹣rounded.
（1）Why did the author，a science student，choose the writing seminar？　 　
A.To play a scientific game.
B.To investigate the brain function.
C.To satisfy his personal pursuit.
D.To seek an opportunity to jump ship.
（2）What characteristic does the author find in some of his students？　 　
A.Focusing on doing better at medieval history.
B.Escaping expanding their fields out of peer pressure.
C.Developing outer potential academic interests.
D.Showing no passion for non﹣science classes naturally.
（3）What can we infer from Paragraph 5？　 　
A.Scientists are open﹣minded in academic study.
B.Every subject makes for your achievements.
C.All the subjects are not attached great importance to.
D.Self﹣doubt is the cause of poor grades.
（4）What is the best title for the text？　 　
A.To Become a Well﹣Rounded scientist.
B.To Foster a Hobby in College.
C.To Author for Science.
D.To Specialize in Science in College.

After that，the three fathers and their families began playing together.The three fathers knew that their families were truly elated as the old badminton court was filled with laughter and they were unwilling to stop playing the new game.
When they played the game，the rules were introduced.They settled on a court that measured 20 by 44 feet，which is the exact measurements of a badminton court and about a quarter of the size of a tennis court.They lowered the net to 36 inches above the ground，just high enough to prevent the ball from bouncing too high.The initial rules were simple：Serve underhand and let the ball bounce once on each side before it could be played.

12．（2025 泰安一模） Last summer，17﹣year﹣old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris，carrying her beloved erhu﹣a traditional Chinese two﹣stringed instrument that was passed down from her grandmother.As part of a youth cultural exchange program，she had dreamed of this moment for years，yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty.Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation.
During a workshop at a local art school，Li met Pierre，a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument's attractive sound."It's like the voice of ancient China，"he remarked with excitement，gently plucking（拨） the erhu's strings.Inspired by each other's music，they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.
As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine，Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick how movements on the erhu，while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune "Jasmine Flower."The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible.On the performance night，their piece"Silk Road Echoes"received thunderous applause.The audience were amazed at how the erhu's sad tones danced with the violin's vigorous melodies（旋律）.
What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater.Today，1 i and Pierre co﹣teach virtual music classes，connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly"global jam sessions.Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz.Li often tells her pupils，"Music has no borders；it's a language that turns differences into harmonies."When traditions meet with open hearts，they don't conflict；they compose something entirely new.

14．（2025 龙岗区校级模拟） 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.

15．（2025 辽宁模拟） Ma Long，born in Anshan，Liaoning，the"home of table tennis"，was sent by his father to practice table tennis when he was 5 years old.At 15，Ma Long joined the national team and was the least talkative boy of the players.His character was as outstanding as his overall strength.In 2006，at 18，Ma Long won his first team world championship and was seen as hope for the next generation in the national team.
Behind early fame of the genius is Ma Long's almost paranoid harshness towards himself.Ma Long's daily routine throughout four seasons was a two﹣point line between the dormitory and the training hall，and he was the first to arrive and the last to leave every day.He had been doing so for ten years，monotonously and repetitively.Liu Guoliang once said，"I went to the table tennis hall on a Sunday morning for an unannounced inspection to see how many players were training on Sunday.Only one person in the men's first team was there..A genius is not your fear，your fear is that a genius works harder than you do."Such a genius is Ma Long.

pressure and torment that others couldn't imagine.At the lowest point，Ma Long had the idea of retiring.But he was unwilling to just"disappear".
In the Suzhou 2015 World Championships，Ma Long crowned his career，winning the singles champion，and it had been ten years since he won a world championship last time.The title seemed to give him new prospect and he has been unstoppable and won many titles ever since including winning the Olympic title.
The most perfect ending for an athlete is to be successful and retire with fame.But Ma Long does not want to follow suit.He does have the ambition to go down in history.He wants people to know Ma Long when they mention table tennis in the future.He did so a long time ago，and continues to do so.

16．（2025 市中区校级一模） When my daughter Adina was born，I was convinced she'd be a cyclist.A cyclist's daughter has to love bikes，right？I looked forward to riding together with her and investing all the time needed to teach her.In return，I expected progress﹣not immediately huge steps，but at least some.But in our case，progress just didn't come.
When Adina was a year and a half，a friend gave me a child seat，allowing her to sit in front and enjoy the ride far more than kids sitting behind their parents.Together，we enjoyed long rides."Bi﹣ke!"she'd shout every time I started putting on my cycling gear，immediately running for her helmet.
The next logical step was a balance bike，which teaches kids to steer and maintain balance.I started bringing the balance bike along on our walks，offering it to her whenever the conditions or her mood seemed just right.But to be honest，she was more interested in stones on the path or butterflies flying by.I didn't mind；I enjoyed the walks with her，but progress on the bike was non﹣existent.
While other kids sped past us on their balance bikes，Adina remained disinterested.When she was three and a half，she got a bike with training wheels.Adina loved it!She eagerly packed Ariel the mermaid and a pony into her basket but insisted on wearing a flowery dress instead of sporty clothes."We're going for a picnic!"she cheered.
It soon became clear that she lacked the fundamentals she should have learned on the balance bike.Her attention often wandered，and any slight downhill made her nervous.I comforted her each time and when she wanted to stop，I carried the bike on my shoulder，and we went for ice cream instead.
Slowly，Adina learned how to pedal and managed to ride loops around the colorful concrete track in the park.I'll stick to my strategy of not pushing or forcing it；I still believe that every child learns to ride a bike eventually﹣it's just a matter of timing.
（1）What was the author's expectation when Adina was born？

17．（2025 仙游县一模） In a snowbound forest where shadows stretched like skeletal fingers，a cunning fox named Vixen and a brutish wolf named Ragnar forged a tense alliance.Bound by necessity rather than loyalty，Vixen served as Ragnar's reluctant subordinate，her wit often sparing them both from ruin.Yet Ragnar's greed and arrogance sowed the seeds of their downfall.
One frigid morning，Ragnar snarled， "Fetch me food，or I'll make a meal of you." Vixen，her paws nimble on the ice，led him to a farm where lambs frolicked in a pen.She slipped through a gap，returned with a bleating lamb，and vanished into the trees.Ragnar devoured it，but his hunger remained. "More!" he demanded，charging into the pen himself.His clumsy attack alerted the farmer，who beat him senseless with a pitchfork.Limping back，Ragnar roared， "You betrayed me!" Vixen smirked， "You betrayed your own greed."
The next day，Ragnar's wounds festered，but his appetite raged. "Steal bread from the village，" he ordered.Vixen complied，returning with six golden pancakes.Ragnar wolfed them down，then greedily raided the pantry，smashing dishes and triggering a commotion.The farmer's wife emerged，club in hand，and Ragnar fled with a fractured rib. "Why did you let me fall？" he howled.Vixen replied， "Why did you not stop？"
On the third day，Ragnar's strength ebbed，yet his gluttony burned brighter. "The butcher's cellar holds salted meat，" Vixen said，her voice honeyed.They slithered into the cellar，where Ragnar gorged until his belly bulged.Meanwhile，Vixen paced，testing the exit's width. "Why skulk about？" Ragnar grumbled. "Guarding our escape，" she lied.
As dawn broke，the farmer descended the stairs.Vixen darted through the hole，but Ragnar，swollen with meat，became wedged.The farmer's axe fell once，twice—silence.Vixen watched from the shadows，then padded into the woods，whispering， "A fool's end is a fox's triumph."

A.His inability to adapt to harsh environments.
B.His excessive greed and lack of self﹣control.

18．（2025 济南一模） I was recently on a crowded flight home from California，and holiday travel was busy and chaotic.I counted three different occasions of children having emotional breakdowns—one at the security checkpoint and two on the plane.I couldn't help but notice people in line commenting， "Can't that mom get a handle on her child？""That kid needs some discipline!"...These people seemed to suggest that these awful holiday travel circumstances should somehow be tackled with grace and ease.
To her credit，the mother of the toddler （学步儿童） in the security line kept her cool despite the sweat on her brow and her reddened face.As a mom who was constantly peppered with comments from well﹣intentioned friends who thought they were in possession of the recipe for perfect parenthood.I was all too familiar with her situation.
I might have been one of those judgmental folks before having my own children.Today I'm much more understanding.Raising children is hard，and every child and family situation is extremely unique.The reality of our hustle﹣culture and the lack of resources prohibits many people from being the kind of parents they would really like to be.Judgment certainly isn't helpful，only causing a feeling of shame.
As is echoed in the article Reimaging Shame，Author Jan Bonhoeffer states， "Left unexanined，shame can cloud our self﹣view，leaving us convinced that our worth is conditional.It whispers lies： 'You'll never be good enough.'And when shame continues，it can lead to self abandonment."The role of motherhood is both complex and challenging，so any attack on a mother will get her loaded with shame，and shame is disempowering.The last thing women need is more disempowerment.
Whoever coined the phrase， "Everyone you meet is facing an invisible battle.Be kind."was accurate.The least we can do is suspend our tendency to judge one another，replace it with a mindset of compassion，and resolve to do a better job empowering the other women in our lives through intentional action or advocacy.
（1）What can be inferred from paragraph 1？ 　 　
A.It's easy to be an armchair critic.
B.Bystanders see most of the game.
C.There is no life without discipline.
D.Criticism is a cornerstone to growth.
（2）How does the author find her friends' comments？ 　 　
A.Constructive.
B.Informative.
C.Unworkable.
D.Misleading.
（3）What does Jan Bonhoeffer stress in the article？ 　 　
A.The core concept of shame.
B.The potential impact of shame.
C.The true worth of self﹣views.
D.The complex role of motherhood.
（4）What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph？ 　 　
A.Being non﹣judgmental toward mothers.
B.Maintaining a positive mindset at work.
C.Empowering moms with multiple skills.
D.Acting swiftly to resolve hidden conflicts.
19．（2025 南阳模拟） It's hard to imagine that Mohamed Jihad，a young man from Egypt，could perform a traditional Chinese tongue twister in a fluent way.
When Mohamed was choosing his university major，he initially considered English.But his mother offered different advice："You've known English since young.Almost everything is made in China，so choosing Chinese should be very helpful."

In July 2023，when Mohamed graduated from the Communication University，he wore Egyptian pharaoh clothing to receive his certificate on stage.The photo of him wearing the pharaoh clothing soon went viral.Many Chinese began to learn about Egypt and the pharaoh clothing.This gave Mohamed the chance to tell Egyptian stories to Chinese audiences and he subsequently changed the name of his Chinese social media account to the"Egyptian Pharaoh".

20．（2025 宁河区校级一模） So many years after her funeral，I still remembered how I met that wrinkled，87﹣year﹣old little lady the first day of college.
She said，"Hi handsome.My name is Rose，a first year here.Can I give you a hug？"I laughed and enthusiastically responded.
We became instant friends.I was always deeply absorbed in listening to this finely dressed"time machine"as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year，Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the first semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet（宴会）.I'll never forget what she taught us.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech，she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.Frustrated and a little embarrassed，she leaned into the microphone and simply said，"I'm sorry.I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me!I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."
As we laughed，the elderly began，"We do not stop playing because we are old；we grow old because we stop playing.There are only four secrets to staying young，being happy，and achieving success.
You have to laugh and find humor every day.
You've got to have a dream.
When you lose your dreams，you die.We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing，you will turn twenty years old.Anybody can grow older.That doesn't take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did，but rather for things we did not do.The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
One week after graduation，Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

2025年高考英语复习新题速递之记叙文阅读理解
参考答案与试题解析
一．阅读理解（共20小题）
1．（2024秋 驻马店期末） I come from a place renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and complex history.Growing up beneath chinar trees，I learned to see them as symbols of endurance，each branch a witness to centuries of conflict and suffering.
In my hometown，carrying identification is as routine as carrying one's keys—a daily practice that acknowledges the underlying（潜在的）tension in our lives.
When I moved to Shanghai from abroad for my PhD at Tongji University in 2022，I thought that this same instinct（本能）for caution would stay.But Shanghai offered something unexpected：a life shaped not by caution but by trust.
Here in Shanghai，people leave bicycles unlocked，bags unattended，and walk freely without a second thought about their safety.You pick up deliveries without showing your ID，and people treat you not as an outsider but as someone who belongs here.
It revealed a truth about human nature I had not fully understood that trust could be a foundation，a quiet norm rather than something rare.For the first time，I felt what it was like to trust a city itself，letting it hold me gently and carefully in its arms without the caution I'd long carried.
In my hometown，safety is something we manage cautiously.We carry identification not as an option but as an unspoken rule，and we find our way through life with an awareness sharpened by necessity.But in Shanghai，safety is an unspoken promise rather than a guarded privilege（特权）.I can walk alone at night without looking over my shoulder or even thinking to bring my ID—a freedom that felt almost unreal at first.
Living in Shanghai has reshaped not only my understanding of trust and safety but also my understanding of home.For so long，home was connected with my hometown，to its chinar trees and its cautious routines.But Shanghai has shown me that home can be found in a sense of peace and freedom，in the ability to walk through life unburdened by caution.Home is not merely a place；it's a feeling rooted in safety，comfort，and the freedom to be oneself without restraint.
（1）Why does the writer usually carry identification in his hometown？ 　A　
A.By instinct for caution.
B.Out of personal habit.
C.Out of fear of losing it.
D.For showing off himself.
（2）What surprised the author about life in Shanghai？ 　D　
A.The strict measures of security check.
B.The city's historic landmarks and traditions.
C.The strong sense of belonging among locals.
D.The freedom and trust among its citizens.
（3）How does Para.6 develop？ 　A　
A.By comparison.
B.By description.
C.By argument.
D.By definition.
（4）According to the text，what new understanding of home did the author gain in Shanghai？ 　B　
A.Home is defined by its physical location and routines.
B.Home is a place where trust and safety are guaranteed.
C.Home requires a balance between freedom and caution.
D.Home is built on cultural identity and shared traditions.
【答案】ADAB
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述作者从家乡到上海后对信任、安全及家的新理解。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。由文章第二段In my hometown，carrying identification is as routine as carrying one's keys — a daily practice that acknowledges the underlying （潜在的） tension in our lives. （在我的家乡，随身携带身份证件就如同带着钥匙一样平常 —— 这一日常行为反映了我们生活中潜在的紧张氛围。）可知，作者在家乡通常携带身份证是因为出于谨慎的本能。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。由文章第四段Here in Shanghai，people leave bicycles unlocked，bags unattended，and walk freely without a second thought about their safety.You pick up deliveries without showing your ID，and people treat you not as an outsider but as someone who belongs here. （在上海，人们会不锁自行车，把包放在一旁不管，还能自由自在地行走，丝毫不担心自己的安全。取快递时无需出示身份证，而且人们不会把你当作外人，而是把你当作这里的一员。）可知，上海生活中让作者感到惊讶的是市民之间的自由和信任。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。由文章第六段In my hometown，safety is something we manage cautiously.We carry identification not as an option but as an unspoken rule，and we find our way through life with an awareness sharpened by necessity.But in Shanghai，safety is an unspoken promise rather than a guarded privilege （特权）.I can walk alone at night without looking over my shoulder or even thinking to bring my ID — a freedom that felt almost unreal at first. （在我的家乡，安全是我们小心翼翼去维护的东西。我们携带身份证件并非是一种选择，而是一条不成文的规定，我们在生活中前行时，那份因需要而变得敏锐的警觉始终伴随着我们。但在上海，安全是一种无需言说的承诺，而不是一种需要小心守护的特权。我可以在夜晚独自漫步，无需回头张望，甚至无需想着带上身份证 —— 这种自由起初让我觉得几乎有些不真实。）可知该段是通过对比的方式展开的。故选A。
（4）推理判断题。由文章最后一段Living in Shanghai has reshaped not only my understanding of trust and safety but also my understanding of home.For so long，home was connected with my hometown，to its chinar trees and its cautious routines.But Shanghai has shown me that home can be found in a sense of peace and freedom，in the ability to walk through life unburdened by caution.Home is not merely a place；it's a feeling rooted in safety，comfort，and the freedom to be oneself without restraint. （在上海的生活不仅重塑了我对信任和安全的理解，也改变了我对"家"的认知。长久以来，家总是与我的家乡联系在一起，与那里的悬铃木树和谨慎的生活习惯联系在一起。但上海让我明白，家可以在一种平和与自由的感觉中找到，在于能够无忧无虑、无需小心翼翼地生活。家不仅仅是一个地方，它更是一种植根于安全、舒适以及无拘无束做自己的自由之中的感觉。）可知，作者在上海对"家"有了新的理解，即家是一个确保信任和安全的地方。故选B。
【点评】做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

Despite experiencing intense loneliness at times，Alford thinks that solo travel is a rewarding experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives.
After her travels，Alford now believes that every problem has a solution if you work hard enough.There are also a lot of sacrifices（舍弃） you have to make if you want to travel the world，but if it's something you're truly passionate about，it only takes courage to pursue it.
