Ⅳ.【文章大意】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过与母亲一起烘焙的经历,学习到了母亲独特的育儿哲学,这种哲学不仅关乎烘焙,更关乎如何面对生活,如何成长为一个独立而完整的人。母亲通过烘焙的比喻,教会了作者关于成长、独立和自我完善的深刻道理。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段的“‘Children are like bread,’ she explained one night at the kitchen table. ‘You choose the ingredients when they’re young and shape them as the dough rises. But once they’re in the oven, it’s out of your hands.’”可推知,母亲用烘焙面包的比喻来形容孩子的成长过程。她说“你已经在烤箱里了。”,意味着孩子已经足够成熟,可以独立面对生活。故选B。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“I would help with party treats. But my most important job was to pay attention and absorb her every word. The kitchen was part of my homeschooling.”以及最后一段的“She sees the adult I’ve become, shaped with the ingredients she lovingly provided.”可知,每月的烘焙日不仅仅是学习烘焙技巧的日子,更是母亲传授生活智慧和价值观的机会。在这些日子里,作者不仅学会了烘焙,更重要的是从母亲那里学到了做人、面对生活的态度和方法。故选B。
3.A 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“But I also wrestle with her theory, wondering if I can still change and evolve. Have I not fundamentally changed since I was a girl at her elbow, measuring flour ‘Don’t worry,’ she once said. ‘You can always add a little egg wash later.’”可推知,母亲最初的比喻是关于烘焙面包的,但随着时间的推移,这个比喻被赋予了更深层的含义。当她说到“你总是可以在之后添加一点蛋液。”,这暗示着即使孩子已经“进入烤箱”,即开始独立生活,但仍然有机会做出调整,改善自我,体现了母亲对成长和变化持开放态度的育儿哲学。故选A。
4.D 主旨大意题。整篇文章围绕母亲通过烘焙传授给女儿的生活哲学展开,从烘焙的比喻到人生的指导,母亲的烘焙哲学成为连接母女情感、传递生活智慧的桥梁,因此,“母亲的烘焙哲学”是最贴切的标题。故选D。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了我们中的许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件,如学术表现和外表吸引力,当我们的自我价值依赖于这些时,它是不稳定的且可能会带来潜在的危险。文章介绍了如何建立正确的自我价值感。
1.B 根据上文“When Ken was in high school, he did well and had a strong sense of accomplishment. However, when he was in college, his grades were not so outstanding among academically gifted students much like himself, if not better. Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities.”以及后文“The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events(such as academic performance and physical attractiveness).”可知,上文提到了Ken因为不突出感到沮丧,后文则说许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件,由此可见,Ken的情况并不是例外,是普遍存在的。故B选项(不幸的是,他并不是例外。)符合语境,故选B。
2.C 根据上文“The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events(such as academic performance and physical attractiveness).”以及后文“As a result, our feelings about ourselves can end up being in the hands of others.”可知,本句承接上文说明让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件的后果或影响,C选项中those指代上文中external events。故C选项(当我们的自我价值依赖于那些时,它是不稳定的。)符合语境,故选C。
3.A 根据上文“Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self-worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy.”以及后文“Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we’ll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better.”可知,上文提到我们会参加让我们感到有价值的活动,而避免让我们感到不值得的活动,故本句承接上文说明这一行为的结果:会带来潜在的危险。故A选项(那可能会带来潜在的危险。)符合语境,故选A。
4.D 根据后文“If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we might only choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we’re worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undereat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that we feel good.”可知,后文主要通过一些例子来论证上文提到的“人们会参加让自己感到有价值的活动,而避免让自己感到不值得的活动”,故D选项(让我们引用一些例子来进一步证明这一点。)符合语境,故选D。
5.G 根据上文“Self-worth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how we think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning. So, give up the idea of seeking approval from others.”可知,上文的建议是重视自我价值感,放弃寻求他人认可的想法,即本句与上文构成转折,G选项(相反,学会把你的自我价值建立在内在的因素上,比如美德和信仰。)符合语境,故选G。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了蚂蚁哲学:第一,永不放弃;第二,未雨绸缪;第三,保持积极的心态;第四,尽你所能。
1.have been teaching 考查动词时态与主谓一致。根据时间状语over the years可知,动作teach从过去开始一直延续到现在并有可能继续下去,应用现在完成进行时,且主语为I。故填have been teaching。
2.an 考查冠词。此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词,又因为amazing的读音以元音音素开头。故填an。
3.looking 考查非谓语动词。quit doing sth表示“放弃做某事”。故填looking。
4.are supposed 考查动词时态与主谓一致。短语be supposed to do sth表示“应该做某事”,结合quit可知为一般现在时,主语为they,谓语用复数。故填are supposed。
5.preparations 考查名词复数。make preparations for“为……做准备”。故填preparations。
6.when/as 考查状语从句。此处表示“当你享受沙滩和阳光时要考虑石块”,应用when或as引导时间状语从句。故填when/as。
7.themselves 考查反身代词。此处表示“蚂蚁会提醒它们自己”,应用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
8.turns 考查动词时态与主谓一致。主句为一般将来时,if引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时表示将来,主语为it,谓语用三单形式。故填turns。
9.possibly 考查副词。此处是一个省略句,省略了can后面的动词gather,要用副词修饰动词。故填possibly。
10.What 考查名词性从句。空处引导主语从句,在从句中作宾语,且位于句首。故填What。Unit 2 Lessons in life
[导读] 每个人都会犯错,我们应该承认错误并吸取教训以避免犯同样的错误。
The most important lessons in life that we need to learn are the results of our poor decisions. Although time and experience are the best teachers, we also suffer from experiences such as our sacrifices, sufferings and hardships. Good judgement develops only when we truly learn from our mistakes. However, many people keep repeating the same mistakes before learning their lessons because as they say, they are just humans who are subject to making mistakes.
Our weaknesses in life can be turned into our strengths if we immediately acknowledge and recognize the fact that we mess up and learn from them. Our good or bad experiences help us learn better judgement in life. Yet, too many people are in denial (否认) and place the blame on others without realizing that the minute they take responsibility for their action is when the learning process begins. Aside from learning from our own experience, we can also learn valuable lessons from the experience of others. It allows us to observe our behaviour from another angle. When we recognize our mistakes and prevent them from happening again, we are, therefore, learning.
Quickly identifying our mistakes and changing behaviour accordingly require less time and energy than denying mistakes. However, acknowledgement of mistakes requires belief in the idea that perfection is not possible.
It is easier to analyse our mistakes especially when we talk to others, which can help people to sort out comments or criticisms after a mistake is made. Despite our tendency to avoid mistakes, timely acknowledgement is one of the best ways to prevent them from repeating.
【主题词句背诵】
1.be subject to… 可能受……影响的;易遭受……的
2.weakness n.缺点
3.strength n.优点
4.mess up弄糟
5.place the blame on sb 把责任推到某人身上
6.take responsibility for… 对……负责
7.perfection n. 完美
8.sort out 整理,归类
9.However,many people keep repeating the same mistakes before learning their lessons because as they say, they are just humans who are subject to making mistakes.
可是,许多人在吸取教训之前,会重复犯同样的错误,因为正如他们所言,他们只是容易犯错误的人。
10.Despite our tendency to avoid mistakes,timely acknowledgement is one of the best ways to prevent them from repeating.
尽管我们往往会避免犯错误,但是及时承认错误是防止错误重复发生的最好的方式之一。

[2024·广东广州高二期末]
When I was in middle school, my mum confirmed that I was, indeed, a baked good. “Children are like bread,” she explained one night at the kitchen table. “You choose the ingredients when they’re young and shape them as the dough rises. But once they’re in the oven, it’s out of your hands.”
“You’re already in the oven,” she said. “It’s all you now.”
Growing up, I was always involved in Mum’s baking kitchen, especially on our monthly Baking Days. I would help with party treats. But my most important job was to pay attention and absorb her every word. The kitchen was part of my homeschooling.
“Always roast nuts before adding them to the batter (面糊).”
“This is how I learned from my grandmother, Natalie.”
“Remember, you’re in charge, not the tools.”
Years later, after I moved out for college, Baking Days became rare. But her bread metaphor became a touchstone for me, a reminder of why some habits feel unchangeable. But I also wrestle with her theory, wondering if I can still change and evolve. Have I not fundamentally changed since I was a girl at her elbow, measuring flour “Don’t worry,” she once said. “You can always add a little egg wash later.”
Now, at 35, I realized her bread metaphor was about her parenting philosophy. She poured her stories, pain, strength, and joy into me, her only child, folding each piece with care. She gave me the freedom to rise and take shape, trusting her work and letting go.
Tonight, we sit at her kitchen table, drinking tea and eating her home-made cookies. I tell her about my week, the projects I’m working on, the meals I’m creating, the friends I have gathered. She holds a cookie mid-bite, looking at me with pride and admiration. She sees the adult I’ve become, shaped with the ingredients she lovingly provided.
( )1.What does the mother mean by saying “You’re already in the oven.”
A.You are as hot as a baking bread.
B.You are mature enough to fly alone.
C.You are already a baking master.
D.You are bound to change yourself.
( )2.Why were the monthly Baking Days meaningful
A.They were a way for the author to learn new recipes.
B.They were a chance for the mother to teach life lessons.
C.They were an occasion for the family to try new desserts.
D.They were the only time the author got to listen to her mother.
( )3.Which statement shows the mother’s metaphor change over time
A.“You can always add a little egg wash later.”
B.“Remember, you’re in charge, not the tools.”
C.“This is how I learned from my grandmother, Natalie.”
D.“Always roast nuts before adding them to the batter.”
( )4.What is the best title for the passage
A.Kitchen memories
B.The art of bread making
C.The story of dough
D.Mother’s baking philosophy

[2024·福建泉州泉港一中、泉州一中、石外分校联考高二期末]
When Ken was in high school, he did well and had a strong sense of accomplishment. However, when he was in college, his grades were not so outstanding among academically gifted students much like himself, if not better. Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities. 1.
The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events (such as academic performance and physical attractiveness). 2. As a result, our feelings about ourselves can end up being in the hands of others.
Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self-worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy. 3. Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we’ll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better.
4. If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we might only choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we’re worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undereat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that we feel good.
Self-worth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how we think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning. So, give up the idea of seeking approval from others. 5. Doing so reminds us to be fully aware of who we are.
A.That may pose potential dangers.
B.Unfortunately, he is no exception.
C.When our self-worth depends on those, it’s unstable.
D.Let’s cite some examples to further demonstrate that.
E.Let’s dive into the cause to learn more about self-worth.
F.Actually, he’s always been labeled as “other people’s child”.
G.Instead, learn to base your self-worth on internal contingencies like virtues and faith.

are in denial (否认) and place the blame on others without
realizing that the minute they take responsibility for their
action is when the learning process begins. Aside from learning
from our own experience， we can also learn valuable lessons
from the experience of others. It allows us to observe our
behaviour from another angle. When we recognize our mistakes
and prevent them from happening again， we are， therefore，
learning.
Quickly identifying our mistakes and changing behaviour
accordingly require less time and energy than denying mistakes.
However， acknowledgement of mistakes requires belief in the
idea that perfection is not possible.
It is easier to analyse our mistakes especially when we talk
to others， which can help people to sort out comments or
criticisms after a mistake is made. Despite our tendency to
avoid mistakes， timely acknowledgement is one of the best
ways to prevent them from repeating.

[2024·广东广州高二期末]
When I was in middle school, my mum confirmed that I
was, indeed, a baked good. “Children are like bread,” she
explained one night at the kitchen table. “You choose the
ingredients when they're young and shape them as the dough
rises. But once they're in the oven, it's out of your hands.”
“You're already in the oven,” she said. “It's all you now.”

Growing up, I was always involved in Mum's baking kitchen,
especially on our monthly Baking Days. I would help with party
treats. But my most important job was to pay attention and
absorb her every word. The kitchen was part of my
homeschooling.
“Always roast nuts before adding them to the batter (面糊).”
“This is how I learned from my grandmother, Natalie.”
“Remember, you're in charge, not the tools.”
Years later, after I moved out for college, Baking Days
became rare. But her bread metaphor became a touchstone for

me, a reminder of why some habits feel unchangeable. But I
also wrestle with her theory, wondering if I can still change and
evolve. Have I not fundamentally changed since I was a girl at
her elbow, measuring flour “Don't worry,” she once said. “You
can always add a little egg wash later.”
Now, at 35, I realized her bread metaphor was about her
parenting philosophy. She poured her stories, pain, strength, and
joy into me, her only child, folding each piece with care. She
gave me the freedom to rise and take shape, trusting her work
and letting go.
