1．（2025 沙河口区校级二模） In Sichuan Province，long﹣time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware（漆器）skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations.
Born in Toulouse，Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade.With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse，his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started."I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer.In those days，lacquer could not be found in France."said the artist.
Native to Asia，lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid.It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe.So，instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France，Vincent chose to send himself to China.
Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years，the artist also learned a range of techniques，which he integrated into his own artworks.To dive deep into the art of lacquerware，Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province，where lacquer craftsmanship is famous.In fact，he actually met two lacquer ware craftsmen，who taught him almost everything they knew.
"I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it.But I had never seen the Yi people before.I have never heard their language.I've never seen their villages.It's only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture."said Vincent.
This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition.After seeing Vincent's exhibition，Liu Guanzhong，a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said，"What he presents is China in his eyes.Vincent has explored a path.He combines the ideas of a modern artist with ancient skills that are rooted in modern life.He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower."

2．（2025 上虞区模拟） When it comes to "role models，" you might picture someone successful，at the peak of their career or someone you want to be like.For a long time，I defined a role model by these criteria—success and career.But life has taught me a valuable lesson and expanded my view.
Last year，after returning from Iran，I was searching for a venue to display my photographs.After many applications and disappointments，I finally found a gallery owner who welcomed the idea，Zach.The 86﹣year﹣old architect has since become one of my closest friends.
Zach bears a source of energy and inspiration，completely defying his age.He rides his bicycle to work，attended Yale and contributed to the design of Stanford's campus.One memorable moment was when he pulled out his iPod Touch and showed me an app that controlled the lights in his gallery.With a press of a button，he switched the lights to "disco mode，" turning the gallery into a vibrant dance floor.His enthusiasm for new technology reminds me that curiosity knows no age.
At his age，Zach's energy，sharpness，passion and curiosity are extraordinary.I found myself wanting to be like him in old age—not confined to a bed，but full of life，pursuing what I love.Zach understands that life is limited，so he continues to engage in the activities that bring him purpose and meaning.
From Zach，I learned that role models aren't just examples of professional success.We also need those who remind us that age doesn't cut off the wings of our pursuit and enthusiasm.They inspire us to take risks，embrace new experiences and stay open to the unknown—like how Zach supported my smartphone exhibition about Iran，despite being unfamiliar with the subject.
Whenever we meet for coffee，Zach asks about my travels and responds with words like， "It's amazing how you're maximizing your life." In those moments，I wish I could hold up a mirror，because that's exactly what he's doing—making the most of every moment.

3．（2025 沈阳模拟） When diagnosed（诊断） with final cancer，Professor Chen，a 42﹣year﹣old literature scholar made an unusual decision﹣to film 1，862 lecture videos until his final days.His declaration "Teaching is my life" during a weakly delivered yet deeply moving last lecture stimulated nationwide reflection on life's true value.
Modern neuroscience provides biological evidence for Chen's choice.A 2023 Cambridge study demonstrated that instructing others sets off 28% stronger dopamine（多巴胺） release than personal achievements.This explains why Chen，despite physical condition，insisted on grading papers﹣an act psychologists' term"legacy（遗产） motivation."His approach contrasts with Western models like Professor Randy Pausch's celebrated "Last Lecture，"which emphasized realizing childhood dreams.Eastern traditions，particularly Confucian ideals，prioritize generational wisdom pass﹣down over individual achievements.
The social impact was measurable.Chen's online courses gained 90 million views，with 72% viewers aged 18﹣25.This popularity reveals a hunger for purpose beyond material success.A Peking University survey on Chinese youth found 68% considered happiness the same as wealth，yet 89% admitted feeling empty after attaining targets.Chen's legacy challenges this mindset；his worn﹣out lecture notes and student letters displayed at Nanjing University Museum demonstrate how ordinary devotion builds up extraordinary meaning.
Ultimately，Chen redefined life value not through memorial but through multiplied understanding﹣each student internalizing his teachings becomes a living continuation of his intellectual journey.In our achievement﹣pursued era，his story whispers an essential truth：significance often resides not in shining moments but in patient and daily investments in others" growth.

4．（2025 宝坻区校级模拟） It was the winter when I taught in a small country school on the west coast of Vancouver Island.I had three grades of little people in my class，all beaming with the desire to learn all they could.One little boy named David from my grade one class wanted to learn more than all the others.His round swollen face would smile up at me，reminding me over and over of his disease﹣leukemia.More often than not，he would be missing from our classroom for rounds of treatments.
All of us were so pleased，then，to have that happy little boy with us for Christmas.We decorated our classroom，practised for the concert，and prepared Christmas stories to share.
Two days before school let out for the three﹣week Christmas holiday，I read a story to the class.It was the story of"The Littlest Angel".This little angel had an awful time in heaven.He could not adjust to the routine.He was always in trouble，bumping into other angels，tripping over clouds or dropping his halo.Nothing seemed to make his time easier until one celestial day an archangel suggested that the little angel take some items with him.Just a few things to remind him of his good old days，which might be of some help.
As I read the story，a complete silence fell over the class as each child became more involved in the plight of the angel.Everyone was sympathetic for his misfortune，including David.
The following day during our regular show﹣and﹣tell time，holding a small wooden box，David began his sharing，"This is my first tooth，"he explained."This is a ribbon from my sister's hair，and this is my puppy's collar.My dad gave me this old key.My mom says this big coin is for good luck."Even before he told us the purpose of the box，we all seemed to know.Shiny tears went dot﹣to﹣dot down the faces of the other children.The rest of the day witnessed all of us carefully preparing items to fill David's wooden box.

5．（2025 贵州模拟） The journey to Xizang was the realization of a long﹣held fascination，nurtured during the vibrant Tibetan dances at Minzu University of China（MUC） in Beijing.
Every Friday night，the campus would come alive as students from diverse backgrounds gathered in circles，swinging together in Tibetan dance.These dances，where elegant moves bridged cultures，not only sparked my curiosity but deeply moved me.They highlighted the power of dance to unite people across different ethnic groups，Attracted by these interactions and the beauty of Tibetan culture，I often dreamed of dancing atop the Qinghai﹣Xiang Plateau﹣the"roof of the world".This dream became a reality when MUC offered a valuable opportunity to experience and engage with the culture I had come to admire from afar.
Upon arrival in Lhasa，the challenge of adapting to the high altitude at over 3，000 meters was discouraging.Despite my concerns，the strong reaction I experienced was not physical discomfort but rather a deep emotional response to the warmth and generosity of the Tibetan people.Their spirit，far more impactful than the thin air，touched my heart deeply.
The depth of spiritual and cultural richness I encountered in Xizang was reflected in the everyday interactions with the locals.This was reflected not just in their actions but also in their cuisine，which became a transformative element of my journey.The taste of fresh，creamy butter and the discovery of butter tea were sources of inspiration.Each sip and bite deepened my understanding of Tibetan culture，revealing culinary delights previously unknown to me.

6．（2025 合肥三模） In a quiet corner of Lahore，Pakistan，stands a small barber shop called Hope &Scissors.It's a modest place run by Adil Raza，a 42﹣year﹣old barber with a warm smile and a heart for his community.Adil offers free haircuts to children from low﹣income families﹣with one unique condition：they must read aloud to him.As a father，Adil knows how important reading is for young minds."I have three children myself，"he says."I just want kids to experience the power of reading."

8．（2025 龙岗区二模） "The Stories in Our Childhood Textbooks Are the Lives We Live as Adults." This realization inspired Li Yuan to create the video account "Laikansuba" （meaning "Read Along"），where she and her team reinterpret classic literary works from Chinese textbooks.Li，26，a digital media graduate from Zhejiang Sci﹣Tech University，serves as the team's director.The idea first came to her during a family trip last year to send her younger brother off to college.At the university，she noticed many out﹣of﹣town parents doing the same—watching their children take a big step into adulthood.
This scene reminded Li of "The View of Father's Back" （背影），an essay from her middle school Chinese textbook.Written in 1925 by Zhu Ziqing （1898﹣1948），the piece recounts the author's departure for Peking University，with the most memorable image being his aging father climbing up and down the train station platform to buy him oranges.
"It was amazing to see how real life connected with something I had read in a textbook，" Li said.This inspiration became Laikansuba's first short film，where Li reimagined the protagonist as a girl reflecting on her own father﹣daughter relationship. " The core idea，however，remains the same，" she explained.The video resonated deeply with young audiences，garnering over 80 million views across Chinese social media platforms.Encouraged by this success，the team launched an ongoing series offering fresh interpretations of textbook classics，attracting over 2.5 million followers in under a year—mostly viewers aged 18﹣23.
All young protagonists are portrayed by 26﹣year﹣old Shu Jiahui.Despite graduating with a software engineering degree from Yibin University and having no formal acting training，Shu developed her passion through internships and self﹣exploration.It was this raw authenticity that caught Li's attention，as she found many trained young actors delivered rehearsed performances lacking genuine emotion.She found that many trained young actors tended to deliver rehearsed and predictable performances，lacking the authenticity she was looking for.
"I want to make videos that bridge literature with real﹣life experiences，" Li explained. "I hope to help viewers rediscover emotions they may not have fully grasped as students，and offer new perspectives shaped by time and personal growth."
（1）What inspired Li Yuan to start the video account "Laikansuba"？ 　 　
A.Her passion for digital media.

9．（2025 闽清县校级三模） I started walking backward for no apparent reason.I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward.Since I'd already started，I thought I could walk all the way home that way.After all，the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring.
The first problem was practical.Snow is a pain even for regular walking，so my pace slowed down considerably.At this different pace，life itself felt rushed in comparison.How silly it is that we're always in such a hurry to get somewhere.For example，I often arrive at places long after my body gets there.Sometimes I reach my daughters' school，but my mind is still at home，wondering whether I unplugged my wife's hair dryer.Walking backward，however，forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind.
The next thing had to do with vision.In regular walking，the path ahead is always visible.Here，you use other senses：you hear the car approaching，you sense the unevenness of the ground，and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow.You activate an entire set of skills we usually don't use because of our dependence on sight.This way，the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure，a discovery I hadn't anticipated.
Because of my addiction to foolish ideas，I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day.And I quickly realized something obvious：the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled.And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life：moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you've been，or how far you've come.Looking back is always good for self﹣value.There's no way to look at yesterday and not feel better：for the illness that didn't kill you，or the happy childhood days that still make you smile.

A.Finding a new route back home.

C.It's important to find your self﹣value.
D.One ought to learn to forgive himself.
10．（2025 长春模拟） Spring is not just a season﹣it is a teacher.As the earth awakens from its winter sleep，nature offers profound lessons in resilience，patience，and faith.The willow tree（柳树），a symbol of flexibility in Chinese culture，bends gracefully in the wind but never breaks.It does not resist the storm；it adapts to it.This is the first lesson spring gives us：to be strong，we must first learn to yield.
In our own lives，we face storms﹣unexpected setbacks and failures.Yet，like the willow，we must learn to bend without breaking.The universe tests us not to punish us，but to prepare us for the dreams we have asked for.Trust the process.Every challenge is a hidden lesson，every setback a preparation for a greater comeback.
Spring teaches us another vital lesson：growth requires both flexibility and unwavering（不动摇的） roots.The bamboo shoots that break through the hardened earth do so because they remain determined in their upward journey，even as they sway with the wind.Similarly，we must hold firm to our virtues﹣honesty，kindness，perseverance﹣even as life tries to shake us.
Spring is also a season of rebirth，and with it comes an invitation to cultivate gratitude.The cherry blossoms do not complain about how briefly they bloom；instead，they give their beauty freely，knowing their time is precious.In the same way，we must learn to appreciate each day﹣not just for the victories，but for the struggles that shape us.
Spring reminds us that life is not a straight path，but a cycle of planting，growing，and harvesting.There will be storms，there will be winters，but there will always be another spring.
（1）What is the main lesson the willow tree teaches us according to the passage？　 　
A.To prevent trouble wisely.

（3）How should we view struggles，according to the passage？　 　
A.As chances to grow.
B.As signs to fail.
C.As reasons to complain.
D.As blocks to happiness.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？　 　
A.To prove spring is the most beautiful season.
B.To stress life's challenges are meant to break us.
C.To highlight gratitude is the only key to happiness.
D.To suggest we should appreciate the process of growth.
11．（2025 长春模拟） Mike Pavlik，a 51﹣year﹣old part﹣timer at Trader Joe's，leads a double life.When he's not at his day job，he serves as an amateur"detective"，working tirelessly for Twin Cities Stolen Bikes.This volunteer group，with its 11，000﹣member Facebook page，has become a beacon（灯塔） of hope for bike owners in Minneapolis.
One day，Pavlik received a tip about a stolen bike being sold online.He decided to take matters into his own hands.Dressing up in a sport coat，he posed as a potential buyer.Meeting the seller，he carefully noted the bike's make，model，and markings，quickly confirming it was the stolen property he was after.When the seller asked for collateral（抵押品） for a test﹣ride，Pavlik managed to convince him otherwise and pedaled away with the bike，much to the seller's later annoyance.
Pavlik's actions are not just about recovering bikes，they're about bringing joy to victims and justice to the wronged."I love making someone who's been victimized happy，"he says，"and I enjoy giving thieves a taste of their own medicine."

12．（2025 重庆模拟） In June，Andres Torres won the Basque Culinary World Prize﹣often called the"Nobel Prize of cooking".Casa Nova，the restaurant where he works，is a temple to the art of slow，soulful cooking.It's the kind of place that，using only what is naturally abundant，relies on age﹣old methods and the particularities of a region's land，climate and cultures.
Many of Torres's cooking techniques fit in with his commitment to sustainability.He has seen enough of the world to know how vital it is to preserve the planet's resources."Sustainability is very popular in restaurants all over the world，"he says."But there's a lot of nonsense out there.For me，sustainability is something very simple."To that end，Casa Nova has egg﹣laying hens，beehives（蜂房） to make honey，and an enormous vegetable land.
So far，admittedly，these are fairly standard eco practices.But Torres even produces his own salt，risking out in a boat to collect Mediterranean seawater.He's created a stone "insect hotel"to support pest﹣eating insects that protect crops without the need for pesticides（杀虫剂）.Rainwater is gathered in containers previously used to mature wine，and then used on the vegetables.Plates and cups are made by Torres's wife.And instead of using dehydrators（脱水剂），as many high﹣end restaurants and industrial producers do，Torres built his own drying room and smokehouse.
Environmentalism is only part of the story he wants to tell.The restaurant he runs helps fund Global Humanitaria，a nonprofit he set up in 1999 to support education and children's rights across the world and provide emergency relief for victims of conflict and natural disasters.
（1）What is special about Casa Nova？

13．（2025 长春模拟） Picture books have entertained young children since the first one was published in 1658 and illustrations help make the stories come alive.Tactile books that add touch to illustrations bring the joy of picture books to children who are visually impaired （受损的）。
These tactile books are created by the Living Paintings organization to include the sense of touch for children who frequently cannot do the same activities as those sighted kids.With 20，000 children in the UK experiencing vision loss，these books called Touch to See can transform lives.
Living Paintings，a charity in the UK that has been around for more than 35 years，has a clear mission：to provide access to their hand﹣crafted adapted tactile books to families and schools for no fees.
Volunteers of the organization have recently become popular on social media when a series of videos that featured how the books were made amassed 6.7 million views.Volunteer Len Webb，88，who is currently working on the underwater creatures that are illustrated in Julia Donaldson's picture book，Tiddler，said， "I'm really not used to being in the spotlight and I never expected that I'd be getting all these lovely messages from people around the world，but it's so nice to see the work of the charity getting all this recognition.Volunteering at Living Paintings is a nice thing to do."
Andy and Laura Baghurst，a family who borrows books from the Living Paintings free library，have three boys，two of whom were diagnosed with Aniridia shortly after birth，just like their father.While 20/20 vision is the norm，people with this condition see between 3/60 to 6/60.
Laura Baghurst said， "One of my early concerns with Daniel was how he would access books.Learning a way of doing things from his father，Joshua has grown up loving Julia Donaldson and other books and having a great experience with them.Luckily，Daniel，who is now four years old，can fully experience books with the help of the Living Paintings postal library."

14．（2025 高新区校级模拟） If a wheelchair breaks down，it's like a body catching a cold.For me，a "wheelchair doctor"，identifying these issues has become second nature.
At 33，I brought my specialty to the world stage at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympics （残奥会）.My journey began when I was selected for wheelchair repair at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Paralympics.I returned for the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics，and by the time Paris rolled around，all this earned me a place on the team once again.
Much like the medical care provided to athletes，wheelchair repair ensures athletes can compete and live comfortably.The mission at this Summer Paralympics was demanding，with more events，and a greater variety of wheelchairs for athletes，and wheelchairs differ depending on the sport，requiring specific repairs based on how they're used.For example，wheelchair basketball causes heavy wear and tear，while swimmers' wheelchairs suffer from poolside exposure.
After graduation，being a mechanical engineering major，I found myself at a crossroads in my career.
While many of my classmates pursued traditional paths in the mechanical industry，I chose a different route：committing my skills to serving individuals with disabilities.Witnessing their toughness，I saw it as an opportunity to enhance the lives of people with disabilities，and an honor to assist them.On the field，athletes rely on their devices to compete；off the field，these devices help them live comfortably and move freely.
Now，I have taken on a new initiative，which is aimed at empowering individuals with disabilities by training them to repair their own wheelchairs and developing a sense of community support.When a wheelchair stops working，it's often much more challenging for someone with a disability to go out and find a repair shop compared to able﹣bodied individuals.So I aim to teach them simple repair techniques，enabling them to assist one another with basic fixes.
（1）Why was the author invited to join the Paris repair team？ 　 　
A.He had practical experience.
B.He was absorbed in wheelchairs.
C.He was a distinguished doctor.
D.He competed in the Paralympics.

D.Ambitious and competitive.
（4）How does the new project serve the community？

C.By boosting independence and cooperation.
D.By getting across the value of self﹣support.
15．（2025 东城区二模） Last year，I took my first trip to Sheffield，where my new friend Esme lived.From the moment we stepped off the train，strangers spoke to us﹣making small talk with an openness and warmth I hadn't expected.Then a couple approached us，asking if we could witness their wedding.They explained that they were supposed to have a low﹣key wedding，but had missed their first appointment at the register office because of delayed trains.They had been able to reschedule，but had no witnesses for the ceremony.Desperately，they asked us if we would like to step in.
On hearing this，the part of me raised on suspicion awakened.But another part that leans into trust and curiosity told me to say yes.I was raised to approach strangers with caution.My parents drilled in me the idea that trust had to be earned；they had seen the risks that come with being vulnerable（脆弱的） in a new environment.Being watchful of the unfamiliar was their way of ensuring we stayed safe.As I got older，their anxieties became my own.Yet there was something charming about the couple's sincerity，so we agreed.
We arrived at the register office with seconds to spare.It was just the six of us：two lovers，two friends and two registrars﹣pairs connected in different ways，yet all sharing in the quiet magic of the moment.The ceremony was quick and touching，and I teared up on several occasions.The simplicity of it felt meaningful.To me，their wedding symbolized an act of bravery.Trusting complete strangers to witness one of the most significant moments of their lives seemed no small challenge﹣they had no guarantees，just a belief in human kindness.and somehow，that faith had been rewarded.
Looking back，I can't help but think of how my parents might have reacted if I'd told them I was going to be witnessing a couple's wedding with someone I had only recently met.But，ever since，I have made a conscious effort to acknowledge life's uncertainties and accept them where possible.It's easy to live life with a protective layer，but it can lead to loneliness.Moments of connection are precious，and sometimes it's worth taking a risk.
（1）Why did the couple ask for help？ 　 　
A.Because they missed the train.
B.Because they needed witnesses.
C.Because they tried to start small talk.
D.Because they wanted to share their joy.
（2）The author hesitated at first due to 　 　 .

（3）What can we learn from the author's experience？

17．（2025 郑州模拟） I am someone who is outgoing，chatty and friendly.I can appreciate that at first glance I do not appear to be any different from anyone else.I may seem ordinary on the surface.This is entirely because I'm hiding my true self.The only reason I don't"look like"the features associated with autism （自闭症） is that I am often making every effort to force myself to appear"normal".Not all autistic people do this，but I do.
I smile whenever I want to hit my head against the wall and scream.I say，"Oh，that's fine!"when a restaurant doesn't have what I want，and the loss makes me feel like my skin is on fire.I force myself to make eye contact and focus on conversations.
But sometimes I can't maintain it.Sometimes，overcome by uncontrolled feelings，my mask （伪装） slips.How somebody responds to me in those moments tells me everything I need to know about their view of autistic people.
I assume that there is a lack of understanding.When people become annoyed that I cancel plans，or when I feel extremely upset I experience new or strange sounds and tastes，they undoubtedly lack empathy（同情）.In these moments，I can see any acceptance of autistic people from these kinds of people is for show.It is easy to say that you support autistic people，but if you are only supportive when that person presents as normal，then that isn't real support.
So，telling me that I"don't look autistic"is more denial than praise.Someone shouldn't have to"look autistic"for you to believe they are autistic，nor should anyone receive more support just because they pass as normal.We are all cupcakes，whether we look like it or not，and are all equally deserving of empathy and support.
（1）Why doesn't the author appear autistic？ 　 　
A.He naturally adapts to social situations.
B.He feels relaxed during daily interactions.
C.He received professional treatment as a child.

A.They should get real care and concern.
B.They should be supported like normal people.
C.They should be trained to be what they really are.
D.They should receive support only if they act normally.
（3）How does the author feel when told he doesn't look autistic？ 　 　
A.Delighted.
B.Confused.
C.Annoyed.
D.Surprised.
（4）What is the author's main purpose in writing this text？ 　 　
A.To express sympathy for people with autism.
B.To call for true acceptance of autistic people.

18．（2025 姜堰区校级模拟） Freshman Matthew Martin has enjoyed playing sports，and forming friendships throughout his first year in high school.As he finished Grade 8，Martin started the search for his high school and after applying to Jesuit High School，Martin's father brought up the idea of Le Valle and thought it would be a good fit to go there.After spending time with Le Valle schoolmate Will Koch，Martin fell in love with the community.
This year，Martin played on Le Valle's golf team and soccer team.While the sports themselves were nothing new，he made the leap from recreational soccer to playing competitively and was on a golf team for the first time rather than competing individually.Competing on these two teams taught Martin the value of hard work and the importance of not cutting corners，both in athletics and life. "Always make sure everything gets done and make sure it gets done right，100% complete，" Martin said， "quality over quantity."
In previous years，Martin noted that he wouldn't ask as many questions and would be on the quiet side in class，but thanks to all his teachers this year，he asked more questions and felt more comfortable engaging in discussion.During and after class，Martin could be found as one of two freshmen in math teacher Mr.Linus Oey's Honors Algebra （代数） class.Martin said that although it was his hardest class，once he started asking questions and started to really engage and try his hardest，he felt much more comfortable and confident with the class.
Martin has many pieces of advice he wishes he could tell himself on the first day of school this year and to the incoming freshmen. "Just relax，have fun.Just make sure you try your hardest no matter what，" Martin said. "Be sure to join clubs or sports.That's seriously how you can meet somebody，like I've met so many best friends through soccer and through the soccer camp."

20．（2025 广州模拟） As an artist working at Cambridge University Botanic Garden，I am leading a special 14﹣month project called DYE.My mission is to discover plant﹣based dyes（染料） and share them with visitors，researchers and artists through events，performances，a colour database and projects linked to the Garden's plant collections.
There are some 8，000 plant species in the Garden.Guided by medieval recipes，I experiment with berries，flowers，and bark（树皮） to uncover colours hidden in nature.For example，I've transformed roses into vivid red dyes and turned Jade Vine into pink paint.One of my proudest achievements is creating"Newton's Gold"﹣a golden﹣yellow ink made from the bark of Isaac Newton's historic apple tree.I thought I'd end up with black but it's a dark golden yellow﹣unlike modern methods that chemically force predictable results.These discoveries remind me that nature holds endless surprises，but they demand patience and respect.
My work isn't just about mixing colours ﹣it's about storytelling.Collaborations with historians and dancers connect my dyes to broader themes.I dyed feathers for historians to study ancient costumes and created fabrics reflecting nature's cycles for a dance performance.By reviving forgotten techniques，such as a 15th﹣century ink recipe，I bridge the past and present，showing how ancient methods can inspire sustainable solutions to today's environmental issues.
Nature's colours are ever﹣changing.The fading of dyes reveals the temporary beauty of natural materials，just as ecosystems' delicate balance which demands protection.In the Botanic Garden，colours from plants and everyday materials teach me to accept change.These colours aren't just art supplies；they symbolize nature's strength and remind us to rethink our relationship with the environment.
Through workshops and a colour database，I invite people to view nature differently.My work is a return to the old ways of making colour from my garden herbs，establishing a deeper connection between art and nature.
（1）What does the author do on the DYE project？ 　 　
A.Organize and guide garden tours.
B.Collect and classify plant species.
C.Design and run a database of artworks.
D.Develop and spread plant﹣based dyes.
（2）Why is"Newton's Gold"ink significant？ 　 　
A.It honors Newton's great contributions.
B.It shows nature's unpredictable potentials.
C.It links apple trees to scientific inspirations.
D.It exposes limitations of modern ink production.
（3）What does the underlined word"reviving"mean in paragraph 3？ 　 　
A.Bringing back.
B.Putting away.
C.Searching for.
D.Reflecting on.
（4）What is the ultimate goal of the DYE project？ 　 　
A.To improve natural dye stability.
B.To protect nature's ecological balance.

1．（2025 沙河口区校级二模） In Sichuan Province，long﹣time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware（漆器）skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations.
Born in Toulouse，Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade.With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse，his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started."I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer.In those days，lacquer could not be found in France."said the artist.
Native to Asia，lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid.It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe.So，instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France，Vincent chose to send himself to China.

"I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it.But I had never seen the Yi people before.I have never heard their language.I've never seen their villages.It's only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture."said Vincent.
This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition.After seeing Vincent's exhibition，Liu Guanzhong，a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said，"What he presents is China in his eyes.Vincent has explored a path.He combines the ideas of a modern artist with ancient skills that are rooted in modern life.He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower."

2．（2025 上虞区模拟） When it comes to "role models，" you might picture someone successful，at the peak of their career or someone you want to be like.For a long time，I defined a role model by these criteria—success and career.But life has taught me a valuable lesson and expanded my view.
Last year，after returning from Iran，I was searching for a venue to display my photographs.After many applications and disappointments，I finally found a gallery owner who welcomed the idea，Zach.The 86﹣year﹣old architect has since become one of my closest friends.
Zach bears a source of energy and inspiration，completely defying his age.He rides his bicycle to work，attended Yale and contributed to the design of Stanford's campus.One memorable moment was when he pulled out his iPod Touch and showed me an app that controlled the lights in his gallery.With a press of a button，he switched the lights to "disco mode，" turning the gallery into a vibrant dance floor.His enthusiasm for new technology reminds me that curiosity knows no age.
At his age，Zach's energy，sharpness，passion and curiosity are extraordinary.I found myself wanting to be like him in old age—not confined to a bed，but full of life，pursuing what I love.Zach understands that life is limited，so he continues to engage in the activities that bring him purpose and meaning.
From Zach，I learned that role models aren't just examples of professional success.We also need those who remind us that age doesn't cut off the wings of our pursuit and enthusiasm.They inspire us to take risks，embrace new experiences and stay open to the unknown—like how Zach supported my smartphone exhibition about Iran，despite being unfamiliar with the subject.
Whenever we meet for coffee，Zach asks about my travels and responds with words like， "It's amazing how you're maximizing your life." In those moments，I wish I could hold up a mirror，because that's exactly what he's doing—making the most of every moment.
（1）What does the author initially think a role model should be like？ 　B　
A.Someone who lives at the moment.
B.Someone who achieves professional success.
C.Someone who teaches him valuable lessons.
D.Someone who travels a lot and takes adventures.
（2）What does the underlined phrase "defying his age" in paragraph 3 probably mean？ 　D　
A.Hiding his true age from others.
B.Feeling regretful about the limitations of aging.
C.Being physically weaker than most people of his age.
D.Behaving in an unexpected manner for his age.
（3）What is the main lesson the author learns from Zach？ 　D　
A.Technology is the key to staying youthful.
B.Never hesitate to pursue a successful career.
C.Traveling broadens one's perspective on life.
D.Age should never limit one's passions and dreams.
（4）What is the text mainly about？ 　C　
A.How a photography exhibition was organized.
B.How an intergenerational friendship was developed.
C.How the author's view of a role model was redefined.
D.How technology helps the elder connect with youth.
【答案】 BDDC
【分析】短文主要讲述了作者对"榜样"定义的转变。起初，作者以成功和事业为标准定义榜样，但后来在生活中遇到了86岁的建筑师扎克（Zach），他充满活力、热爱新技术、追求生活意义，不受年龄限制，让作者意识到榜样不仅是职业成功的例子，更是能提醒人们年龄无法阻挡追求和热情的人，他们激励人们勇于尝试新事物，像扎克支持作者关于伊朗的智能手机展览一样，尽管对其主题不熟悉。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段For a long time，I defined a role model by these criteria—success and career.（很长一段时间，我用这些标准来定义榜样——成功和职业成就）可知，作者最初认为榜样应该是取得职业成功的人。故选B。
（2）词义猜测题。根据第三段He rides his bicycle to work，attended Yale and contributed to the design of Stanford's campus.One memorable moment was when he pulled out his iPod Touch and showed me an app that controlled the lights in his gallery.（他骑自行车上班，曾就读于耶鲁大学，还参与了斯坦福大学校园的设计。一个令人难忘的时刻是，他拿出iPod Touch，给我展示一个控制他画廊灯光的应用程序），这些行为对于一位86岁老人来说是出乎意料的，可推测"defying his age"意思是行为举止与年龄不符。A.Hiding his true age from others对别人隐瞒真实年龄；B.Feeling regretful about the limitations of aging对衰老的局限感到遗憾；C.Being physically weaker than most people of his age身体上比同龄人更虚弱；D.Behaving in an unexpected manner for his age行为举止与年龄不符。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段Zach understands that life is limited，so he continues to engage in the activities that bring him purpose and meaning.（扎克明白生命是有限的，所以他继续参与那些能给他带来目标和意义的活动）以及第五段From Zach，I learned that role models aren't just examples of professional success.We also need those who remind us that age doesn't cut off the wings of our pursuit and enthusiasm.（从扎克身上，我了解到榜样不只是职业成功的范例。我们也需要那些提醒我们年龄不会斩断我们追求和热情的翅膀的人）可知，作者从扎克身上学到年龄永远不应限制一个人的激情和梦想。故选D。
（4）主旨大意题。文章开头作者表明自己对榜样的最初定义，接着讲述通过与扎克的交
