2025年高考英语二轮复习提高卷 记叙文阅读理解
一．阅读理解（共20小题）
1．（2023 菏泽一模）Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist （肿瘤学家） at Brigham and Women's Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School.Growing up in Wyoming，she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas.Access to in﹣depth care for cancer patients is hard to get.She's worked throughout her career to change that.
In Wyoming，there's a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. "If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day，and if it's 120 miles from where you live，that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need."
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition （联盟） of Cancer Cooperative Groups （CCCG） — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said， "One of the really important things is，we're trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state." The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials.Before those trials became available，patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three﹣to﹣seven﹣hour drive.
Monica's efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials，and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials，Monica said that technology's progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming，as well as social media，has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance.She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
"I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care."

2．（2024 西充县校级模拟）Leaving our hostel in the centre of Phnom Penh，we climb inside our small Tuk Tuk cabin attached to the back of Kiwi's motorbike；a bottle of water in one hand and a surgeon﹣style mask in the other we set off on our 45﹣minute commute.It is a familiar start to the day for me and two other volunteers.We are setting out to work in an orphanage just outside Cambodia's capital city.
The morning rush hour in Phnom Penh is crowded and chaotic.Kiwi directs our path between the trucks，4×4 Lexus' and countless motorbikes，which often carry entire families.We reach the dusty highway，masks and sunshades firmly in place to protect our eyes and lungs.A mixture of concrete buildings and huts exist along the side of the road among a sea of rubbish.The residents often smile and wave as we pass by.
We turn onto a farm track.The last part of our journey is a roller coaster，jumping out of potholes （路面坑洼） and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road.We pass huts on stilts （木桩），skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us.The stream along the side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields.
Finally we arrive at our destination：the oasis （令人快慰的地方） is Samrong Farm.By the gates，a group of 10﹣year﹣old children compete in the area of marbles.We're greeted by the shouts of "Cha，cha（short for 'teacher'）!" from several other kids gathering round.As we climb out of our vehicle，the sun is already hot and the oasis is as dry as the fields surrounding it.In such conditions you would imagine life to be hard，but you wouldn't know it to see the warm smiles and hear the laughter of the residents at Samrong Orphanage.
Compared to children in the Western World they have little and yet they give so much in generosity of spirit and enthusiasm for every day.Despite the journey，it is so good to arrive at work in the morning.

3．（2025 南京模拟） In my mid﹣20s，I found myself in one of the most terrible relationships of my life.Looking for a solution，I bought my first self﹣help book，which promised I could be healed （治愈） of anything if I got rid of my limiting beliefs.I finished it in days，and found even though I was still the same depressed，broke，single mother，I was fascinated.
Over the next 15 years，I bought hundreds of self﹣help books，courses，and apps，and followed every self﹣styled personal improvement adviser on social media，hoping to find happiness，confidence，and love.Some advice was gentle and obvious： "Talk kindly to yourself；get enough sleep." Others were dangerous，encouraging me to spend more money than I could afford to show wealth or to ignore my health problems to feel healthy.
After my father's death in 2022，my dependency grew stronger.I spent a large amount of time reading about how to grieve （哀悼） and get through the pain，but not doing the things that would actually make me feel better：sitting with my feelings，allowing myself to cry，and processing the loss.Although I followed the guidance，nothing improved.I couldn't help but feel that not achieving results was my personal failing，rather than the industry's broken promises.
Gradually，I realized that instead of helping me，the advice was making me feel worse.And a deep conversation with a loved one made me recognize that in trying to change my life，I was attempting to change aspects of myself that were out of my control.Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become，I knew I had to quit self﹣help to learn and accept who I really was.
Since quitting self﹣help，I've realized that focusing all your energy on self﹣improvement can drain（消耗） the joy out of life.It makes happiness conditional：only when I have got to a certain stage can I feel contentment；only when I look that way can I be loved.It can also stop you from unconditionally accepting your imperfectly perfect self.After a long time，I finally understand that perhaps I never needed fixing at all.
（1）What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph？ 　 　
A.Why the self﹣help book failed to work for her.
B.Why she turned to self﹣help books in her mid﹣20s.
C.How she got inspiration from self﹣help books.
D.How the self﹣help book saved her from depression.
（2）What did the author think of self﹣help books at last？ 　 　
A.Beneficial.
B.Ineffective.
C.Unreasonable.
D.Insightful.
（3）What change did the author make in the end？ 　 　
A.She sought medical treatment.
B.She tried new self﹣help methods.
C.She began to accept her true self.
D.She followed more advisers.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？ 　 　
A.You can Always Find Advice in Self﹣help Books.
B.You can't Just Read Self﹣help Books but not Practice.
C.You should Find the Right Self﹣help Book for Yourself.
D.You don't Need Self﹣help Books to be Better.

5．（2025 云浮模拟） For years，twice a day Aadya Joshi walked past a dump filled with smelly rubbish in her neighborhood of south Mumbai on her way to and from school.Originally it was the garden of the local police station.When she was 15，during her summer holidays，Joshi decided to do something about it. "I walked into the police station and was like， 'Can I please clean your garden？'" recalls Joshi. "It took three or four weeks to eventually convince them that I was not going to give up halfway and leave them with more work. "
The plot of land covers an area of 60 square meters，about a quarter of a tennis court.But，over the course of four Sundays in the summer，with help of local residents，Joshi did more than clear it.She replanted it with native Indian plants and trees.Joshi said， "The first day that we cleaned up I made the mistake of not wearing gloves and I was sick for two weeks."
The idea for native planting came from Joshi's reading on the Miyawaki method of afforestation（植树造林）and the work of University of Delaware ecologist Douglas Tallamy.These both argue that planting the right trees can have a significant impact on restoring insect and animal biodiversity.The results in Mumbai were immediate：monkeys now hang out at the police station，and butterflies and birds have made the garden their home.
After creating the garden，Joshi developed a database of 2，000 plants unique to the Indian subcontinent（次大陆）and last year was awarded the annual Children's Climate prize，founded by Swedish energy company Telge Energi.Her advice for others looking to follow in her footsteps：
"If you bite off more than you can chew in the beginning，you will be stuck and lose motivation，" she says. "But something small，like your neighborhood police station，it's very manageable."

6．（2025 河源模拟） Ms.McIntyre，38，worked as a publisher.She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment.But she realized that in a way，she was luckier than some other people.She had insurance to help pay for her medical care.But Ms.McIntyre and her husband，Mr.Gregory，knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing，Ms.McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could.The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt，which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others.The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost.In other words，for every 100 donated，the group can pay off 10，000 in unpaid medical bills.

"If you're reading this，I have passed away，" the post began.Then the post explained， "To celebrate my life，I've arranged to buy up others' medical debts and then destroy the debts."
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose.They had hoped to raise about＄20，000.Nevertheless，Ms.McIntyre's last post attracted a lot of attention.The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal.In less than a week，the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in.By November 22，2023，Ms.McIntyre's web page had raised over＄627，000，or enough money to pay off about＄60 million in medical debts.

8．（2025 湖北模拟） When Suzanne Heywood was seven，she was pulled out of school to go on a three﹣year voyage around the world.The family of three from the UK set out on their search to recreate Captain Cook's voyage around the globe，which ended up taking a decade instead of the promised three years.While her parents described the opportunity as a "privilege" （特权），Suzanne compared it to being locked up in prison.
Now 55 years old，Suzanne has shared her tale of survival on TikTok，and recalled her 10 years at sea in her tell﹣all memoir （回忆录） Wavewalker.She shared details of a perilous journey from South Africa to Australia where the boat hit an enormous storm. "The waves became bigger and finally one crashed over the boat，" she recalled. "I was thrown against the ceiling of the cabin，cracking my skull and breaking my nose.Three days later，we found a little island where I had multiple head operations consciously."
In order to get through her "very strange" childhood，Suzanne was determined to get an education，which was her only hope to lead a normal life.While remote education wasn't an option in 1969，Suzanne signed up for an Australian correspondence school when she was 13 and studied in the cabin of the boat.When she was 16，her parents sent her to a school in New Zealand while they continued sailing.Despite the gaps in her education，Suzanne eventually landed a spot at Oxford University and after saving up money she'd earned working on a farm，Suzanne bought a one﹣way plane ticket back to the UK.

9．（2025 潍坊模拟） When I bought a house in Portland four years ago，I immediately began designing my dream garden，intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long﹣lasting flowers.I soon discovered，however，that the soil was unproductive，clay﹣heavy and littered with stones.In previous，much tinier gardens，I'd fix it with a few bags of high﹣quality soil from the nursery.
Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible.Instead，I decided to remediate（补救） what I already had.
The challenge before me was to revive the soil.Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift：minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity.In practice，growing crops by turns；prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers；integrating crops，trees and livestock；and sheltering soil from being washed away with cover crops，often work.
I tried to apply such methods in my garden.Where once there was only grass，I made a pond，a rock garden，a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables.I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way.I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities.
In May，I decided to relocate a flowering plant.As I dug the plant out，all manner of life emerged.Earthworms swung from the roots.A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter.Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium （真菌菌丝）.
Running my fingers through the soil，I understood，more clearly than ever before，that I transformed much more than my yard—it completely changed the way I think about soil.It's not simply as a medium for life，but as a living entity（个体） in its own right.Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life，textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving.Soil meets many of them：It has a highly organized structure.It has a capacity for active self﹣preservation.It grows.It breathes.And it can die.
（1）What was the soil problem in the author's garden？ 　 　
A.Wet and salty.
B.Poor and stony.
C.Dry and sandy.
D.Acidic and weedy.
（2）What was the focus of the author's gardening methods？ 　 　
A.Limiting plant variety.
B.Adopting a high﹣tech approach.
C.Giving more intervention.
D.Creating a sustainable environment.
（3）Why does the author mention the replanting in May？ 　 　
A.To introduce different species.
B.To prove the garden shelters insects.
C.To show the soil has come to life.
D.To explain the transplanting process.
（4）What is conveyed in the last paragraph？ 　 　
A.Soil has a soul.
B.Life is well defined.
C.Life has complexity.
D.Soil is the source of life.
10．（2025 福州模拟） Susan Tsang's journey to becoming a field biologist is as unconventional as it is inspiring.Growing up in New York City，Susan spent four hours daily on commute （通勤） to school，leaving little time for outdoor exploration.It made her an unlikely candidate for a career in field biology.
Susan's enthusiasm for the natural world was fueled during a visit to the American Museum of Natural History.The dinosaur fossils （化石） awakened her desire to explore nature，which eventually led her to pursue a PhD program focused on bat biology.
Susan's first field exploration was to Indonesia，with the task of catching wild bats.With her advisor unable to help，Susan teamed up with Sigit，an experienced local researcher.They excitedly set up net s for trapping bats near a waterfall.While preparing their equipment，they discovered a bamboo structure leaking fresh water.Thinking it might be useful for their base camp，they tried to fix it，only to have water erupt everywhere，soaking （浸湿） them completely.Unfortunately，a storm was approaching.Realizing their day was lost，they walked back to base camp.They talked and laughed，forming a deep bond.
This adventure provided Susan with not only practical skills but also an invaluable lesson about adaptability and teamwork.It enhanced the significance of practical experience.She recognized that true understanding comes from directly observing the subjects of study —views that cannot be gained only from textbooks.Over the years，whenever faced with doubts regarding her capability；she remembers what her advisor told her about the experience， "The first day you came back，completely wet，yet genuinely happy.The next day you went right back out.That's when I knew this is where you truly belonged."

11．（2025 喀什市模拟）My husband and I both grew up playing sports.So we weren't surprised when our little daughter， Kennedi showed early athletic promise.She could easily outrun other kids，while playing with them on the playground.
By the time Kennedi started primary school，we signed her up for track training.Slowly but surely，track training took over our lives.We gave up taking vacations so our girl wouldn't miss any practices.I even stopped Kennedi from swimming with her friends，for I thought she would waste the energy needed for competition.We didn't ask Kennedi if that was what she wanted.Of course she did!she kept winning，and every kid liked to win.

12．（2025 郑州模拟） A few years ago，we bought a Lego Taj Mahal（泰姬陵） for my dad's birthday，hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time.
Each evening，my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to build the model.We faced thousands of tiny white pieces，each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags，accompanied by a thick instruction book.
The evenings passed quickly，and the building rose before our eyes.We could see our efforts producing good results，and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building's floor，our conversation too took a turn.
We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book.We realized the book itself was a work of art，beautiful，but also surprisingly detailed and clear.It provided us with the comfort of certainty.We knew if we followed all the instructions，we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box.If we made a mistake，all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again.
Life，however，does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions.We talked over our respective lives，decisions made，and actions and choices never taken.Dad reflected on a life well lived，and I，in my mid﹣thirties，on the uncertain path that lay ahead.
Here，we were the expert architects doing the assembling（组装），but out in the world，we were the ones being assembled.We think we're in control，but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control.In the face of uncertainty，we have to proceed，trusting both in the process and the end result.
Sometimes，on the days I return home，I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model，which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort.It reminds me that life is built slowly，with mistakes，an element of uncertainty and no instruction book.It shows that consideration，warmth and faith will result in a life well lived.Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind，but rather how we lived it.
（1）Which can best describe the author's experience of building the Lego model？ 　 　
A.Simple and uninteresting.
B.Imaginative and enjoyable.
C.Complicated and rewarding.
D.Challenging and discouraging.
（2）What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model？ 　 　
A.Life requires to be planned carefully.
B.Life doesn't come with clear guidance.
C.Mistakes in life can always be corrected.
D.Life's uncertainty makes it more exciting.
（3）How does the author suggest we deal with uncertainty in life？ 　 　
A.By avoiding making any choice.
B.By focusing on instant end results.
C.By seeking instructions from others.
D.By moving forward with confidence.
（4）What does the completed Lego model mean to the author？ 　 　
A.The value of hard work in life.
B.The achievement of life goals.

13．（2025 上饶一模） Human's pursuit of beauty begins at an early age.The fact is perfectly true for young ladies.When Scarlett and her classmates were in fifth grade，they started to worry about getting wrinkles.By the time she turned 14，Scarlett and her friends were spending hours on TikTok and You Tube watching people talk about products to make their skin look nice：a wet，shiny，perfect skin.Scarlett made a big skin care routine with face wash，sprays，hydrating covers and creams.
One night，Scarlett's skin began to burn intensely and got bubbles.Using too much strong stuff for grown﹣ups made her skin very bad.Scarlett's experience is common now，experts say，as young girls go to beauty stores to buy fancy skin care products，a trend seen in popular videos with the hashtag #SephoraKids.
Things like retinol and chemical scrubs like hydroxy acids are very strong.Young or sensitive skin can get red，peel and burn that can cause infections，spots and too much sensitivity if not used right，skin doctors say.
"The focus on skin care is more than just wanting perfect skin.It's about feeling accepted and belonging to a community that has the lifestyle and look you want，"says 14﹣year﹣old Mia Hall.More than the harm to the body，parents and child psychologists worry about how this trend can affect girls' feelings and thoughts for a long time.A lot of information shows that being too focused on looks can hurt how you feel about yourself and your body and can cause worry，sadness and eating problems.
The amount of detail and information girls get from beauty lessons sends a bad message at a time when they are growing up and finding out who they are，says Charlotte Markey，a body image expert and a teacher at Rutgers University.

14．（2025 云城区模拟） It is October again.It has been a year since my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer；a year since she started her good，brave fight.It has been a year marked with so many milestones，so many shared smiles and secret fears.
Usually，children，with eyes that see all and minds that are still free to wonder，are extraordinarily accepting the changes in routine，the shift in seasons.This week，however，when I took my two younger boys with me for a visit to Mom's without telling her in advance，Sean ran into her bedroom to greet her，then quickly returned to the living room to talk to me. "Mom，" my four﹣year﹣old whispered，careful not to be overheard or offending， "Grandma has no hair."
Mom came through her surgery that removed the tumor （肿瘤） in her lung with faith and grace.She also came through thin and tired.And the side effect was total hair loss.It should grow back eventually，but my mother decided to have a wig （假发） to cover her head.She wears it mostly for the comfort of others.When she is alone，she usually leaves her head uncovered，finding the wig uncomfortable when unnecessary.
"Grandma has no hair，" Sean said，because we had caught her by surprise.
"I know，Sean.Isn't it funny？" I asked him as my mom joined us in the living room.We explained to him that Grandma had to take medicine that made her hair go away，but it would come back.
"Would you like to touch my head，Sean？" my mother asked as my son stared at her，his blue eyes filled with questions and curiosity.It is surprising to see your mother—or anyone you love—without hair，but surprisingly it's something that you can get used to quickly.We are，after all，not really these bodies—these are just the shells that transport who we are，and no matter what the physical changes，those connected by love seem to be able to recognize their own.

15．（2024 南宁模拟） People in daily life usually wash their produce before eating to remove pesticide residues （农药残留物）.But are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat？Now，14﹣year﹣old Sirish Subash from Georgia has won the 2024 3 M Young Scientist Challenge for inventing an AI﹣based handheld pesticide detector that is very accurate in detecting pesticide leftovers on food.The ninth grader at the Gwinnett School of Mathematics，Science and Technology in Snellville has received the title"America's Top Young Scientist".
Now in its 17th year，the challenge supports middle school students who think creatively and apply science，technology，engineering，and mathematics（STEM） principles to make inventions.When the finalists are chosen，they are paired with a 3 M scientist who guides them over the summer to help take their ideas from just concepts to models.
Sirish spent four months competing against nine other finalists.The finalists had to complete a series of interactive challenges and were evaluated on their innovation，application of STEM，as well as their ability to inspire others.
"This year's Young Scientist Challenge finalists have shown an incredible ability to develop creative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges，"Torie Clarke，the chief public affairs officer，said in the press release."I am beyond impressed and inspired by their intelligence and their scientific minds."
Two other finalists included second﹣place winner Minula Weerasekera from Beaverton，Oregon who developed a real solution for storing energy longer and third﹣place winner William Tan from Scarsdale，New York who developed a useful AI smart artificial reef（礁） to protect biodiversity underwater.
It was reported that Sirish's journey to winning the award came from watching his mother washing vegetables and fruits and warning him to always do so.He wondered whether washing actually made a difference.And he tested the device on more than 12，000 food samples including strawberries，apples，tomatoes and spinach.The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the wavelengths that bounce back.

16．（2024 济宁二模） Travelling seemed like falsehood to me.I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand "transformed" them.Globe﹣traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat.I needed something deeper than an Eat，Play，Love moment.
One day，Vasilis，my Greek best friend，reminded me of our decade﹣old promise：after our final exams，I would visit his hometown in Athens.Maybe，it was time to make good on that promise.
I finally boarded the plane.Vasilis picked me up at the airport.I smiled，thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago.
The decade﹣long wait proved to be well worth it.Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders.However，none of them truly mattered.What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local.
Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention —a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street.Curiously，we followed the sound to a humble workshop.Inside，a welder （焊工） gave no mind to our presence behind him.He wore no flashy protective suit —this was just another day for him，another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature.Under the sunshade，his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth...
As the man continued welding，I felt a bit of envy.I envied his peace and contentment.I admired the simplicity he embodied.I imagined the welder happy，finding fulfillment in his craft （手艺） and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears.Leaving the workshop，rain blending with tears，I realized how easily life's poetry could pass unnoticed.
Home again in Montreal，I stop simply pursuing better things，better experiences and better people that are never grasped.I realize the real journey is inward —to appreciate life's ordinary magic.That sure beats petting any baby elephant.I may not have returned home "transformed，" but I'll always think of the welder and his cat.

17．（2024 十堰模拟） About eight years ago，Li Jinglong and Guan Dian visited the Palace Museum in Beijing.The cloisonne （景泰蓝瓷器） objects on display attracted them in particular.They spent hours looking at those beautiful objects.They just couldn't take their eyes off them.
Born and raised in Beijing，35﹣year﹣old Li is no stranger to cloisonne，since there were a pair of cloisonne vases in his grandparents' home.His wife，34﹣year﹣old Guan，who learned to paint as a child and later became a designer after graduating from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology，is also familiar with cloisonne，as it appears in her art books.As a result of their visit，the couple made the daring decision to open a workshop.
"We learned cloisonne after seeing the pieces displayed in the Palace Museum.We wanted to turn our hobby into a career，so that people could enjoy and learn to make the craft themselves，" said Li，who worked in a finance company before quitting his job to launch Handcraft Addicted，a DIY workshop where participants can make cloisonne.Since 2018，they have opened three workshops in Beijing.They are happy to give people a glimpse of the traditional techniques of cloisonne as part of a DIY experience.
Instead of focusing on making traditional cloisonne objects ，such as plates and vases，the workshop allows participants to create the designs they want on surface of glass，resin （树脂） or wood.Although the process has been simplified，it is still not easy for people trying cloisonne for the first time to succeed.Participants spend months making one piece，which they take home or give friends as presents.It's a luxury for people to spend time alone and fully focus on one thing nowadays because of the fast pace of life.Participants come to the workshop not only to create art，but also to take a break from their busy lives.

18．（2024 长春模拟） I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box，because my mother never believed in email，or cell phones in general.I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone，which was usually the warmest comfort for me.
So when I moved to New York and got sucker﹣punched in the face by depression，I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers.I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand﹣written letter to whoever asked me to.
Overnight，my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak —a single mother in Sacramento，a girl being bullied（恐吓） in rural Kansas…，all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born，fueled by those trips to the mailbox.But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people，who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen.
I've been carrying this mail crate（大木箱） with me these days，which is a magical icebreaker.So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized（受精神创伤） from war in Afghanistan，and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say，"Come back to me."And the man，who had decided to take his life，tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow，handwritten by strangers who were there for him.
These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter﹣writing will always be needed，even in these days，because it is an art now，all of it：the signing，the scripting，and the mailing.

With his business slogan，"A place for community，" Foreman's store has quickly gained a devoted following.Customers visit to enjoy their favorite flavors；artwork and cards from them decorate the walls；and some purchase their paper napkins there to support the store.Foreman has also organized events like storybook readings accompanied by sweet treats for children.What truly sets this business apart is the free ice cream that Foreman generously gives out.
"You know when they come in，you can see it.It was natural to notice some of the kids have it and others don't.So I'm going to sponsor them."

一．阅读理解（共20小题）
1．（2023 菏泽一模）Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist （肿瘤学家） at Brigham and Women's Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School.Growing up in Wyoming，she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas.Access to in﹣depth care for cancer patients is hard to get.She's worked throughout her career to change that.
In Wyoming，there's a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. "If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day，and if it's 120 miles from where you live，that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need."
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition （联盟） of Cancer Cooperative Groups （CCCG） — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said， "One of the really important things is，we're trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state." The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials.Before those trials became available，patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three﹣to﹣seven﹣hour drive.
Monica's efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials，and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials，Monica said that technology's progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming，as well as social media，has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance.She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
"I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care."
（1）What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most？ 　A　
A．Health care.
B．Better housing.
C．Further education.
D．Public transportation.
（2）How has Monica helped the cancer patients？ 　A　
A．By offering clinical trials.
B．By advocating financial aid.
C．By improving internet service.
D．By training medical professionals.
（3）Which of the following can best describe Monica？ 　D　
A．Determined and loyal.
B．Honest and generous.
C．Grateful and courageous.
D．Devoted and responsible.
（4）What is a suitable title for the text？ 　B

2．（2024 西充县校级模拟）Leaving our hostel in the centre of Phnom Penh，we climb inside our small Tuk Tuk cabin attached to the back of Kiwi's motorbike；a bottle of water in one hand and a surgeon﹣style mask in the other we set off on our 45﹣minute commute.It is a familiar start to the day for me and two other volunteers.We are setting out to work in an orphanage just outside Cambodia's capital city.
The morning rush hour in Phnom Penh is crowded and chaotic.Kiwi directs our path between the trucks，4×4 Lexus' and countless motorbikes，which often carry entire families.We reach the dusty highway，masks and sunshades firmly in place to protect our eyes and lungs.A mixture of concrete buildings and huts exist along the side of the road among a sea of rubbish.The residents often smile and wave as we pass by.
We turn onto a farm track.The last part of our journey is a roller coaster，jumping out of potholes （路面坑洼） and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road.We pass huts on stilts （木桩），skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us.The stream along the side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields.
Finally we arrive at our destination：the oasis （令人快慰的地方） is Samrong Farm.By the gates，a group of 10﹣year﹣old children compete in the area of marbles.We're greeted by the shouts of "Cha，cha（short for 'teacher'）!" from several other kids gathering round.As we climb out of our vehicle，the sun is already hot and the oasis is as dry as the fields surrounding it.In such conditions you would imagine life to be hard，but you wouldn't know it to see the warm smiles and hear the laughter of the residents at Samrong Orphanage.

3．（2025 南京模拟） In my mid﹣20s，I found myself in one of the most terrible relationships of my life.Looking for a solution，I bought my first self﹣help book，which promised I could be healed （治愈） of anything if I got rid of my limiting beliefs.I finished it in days，and found even though I was still the same depressed，broke，single mother，I was fascinated.
