一．阅读理解（共20小题）
1．（2025春?滨州期末） It had been over 10 years since the three sisters were last together，and tears welled up in their eyes.The eldest，110﹣year﹣old Rubye Cox，stayed warm under a red plush blanket as her "kid" sisters，104﹣year﹣old Ruth Branum and 101﹣year﹣old Rose Shloss，held her hands.They shared stories，and laughed heartily.This overdue reunion was made possible by a nonprofit organization Wish of a Lifetime，which flew Rose from Florida and Ruth from Oklahoma to Rhode Island.
The charity is the passion project of Jeremy Bloom，a former Olympic skier and NFL player，who was impressed，during his years travelling the world as an athlete，by how much more other countries and cultures seemed to respect and celebrate their elders than what he'd witnessed in America. "Sometimes we forget here that their dreams still matter，" Bloom，43，reflects.
At 15，during a skiing trip to Japan，Bloom was deeply moved when passengers bowed and helped an elderly woman onto a bus.That moment planted a seed，which took 10 years to grow into Wish of a Lifetime.Inspired by the Make﹣A﹣Wish Foundation，which fulfills requests for critically ill children，Bloom aimed to fulfill the wishes of senior citizens.
For the first wish he granted，Bloom arranged for airplane tickets for a woman named Nancy so she could visit her dying daughter，and say goodbye in person.
Today，Wish of a Lifetime has 26 full﹣time staff and 25，000 volunteers across the US，funded by donations and sponsorships.Most wish applications are submitted at wishofalifetime.org by a friend or family member.So far 3，000 wishes have been granted.A World War II veteran returned to the beaches of Normandy for the first time since D﹣Day；a woman wrote and performed a play based on her life story；a former Air Force captain got the chance to meet his heroes，the Rolling Stones.
Though Wish of a Lifetime is not his full﹣time job，Bloom says， "It was my 100 percent all in.Let's change as many lives as we can."

2．（2025?浙江三模） Before the internet made book reviews widely accessible，where would curious minds go to find information about a new novel's subject matter or a plot？
If you lived in the Los Angeles area，you could reference the Los Angeles Public Library's index of fiction book review cards.The reviews，a collection of thousands of index cards，contain library staff members' thoughts and opinions about new fiction releases that the library carried.The library system started in the 1920s and into the 1980s.
Robert Anderson，who has worked as a librarian at the LAPL since 1980，says the staff review cards were a handy tool that library staff used to answer specific questions the public had about different books.The reviews，along with being a helpful public tool，also helped staff pick which books the LAPL would order for their shelves.If a staff member reviewed a book favorably，they were more likely to carry the title and order multiple copies.
The review process was simple：On an index card，library staff would handwrite or type up an abstract of a book they read and give their personal review of it.The cards offered adjectives that the reviewer could underline to indicate how the story might affect readers emotionally.For example，for the library's review of Virginia Woolf's 1925 book Mrs.Dalloway，the reviewer underlined "wholesome，""pleasant，"and"interesting."Of the staff member's characterization of the book，Anderson said he wasn't sure why the reviewer considered Woolf's writing﹣which deals with loneliness and other，often dark human experiences﹣to be healthy，"but they did."
The Los Angeles Public Library's index of staff review cards isn't used regularly anymore.But the system now serves as a historical record of both the books，some almost 100 years old，as well as the cultural views held by the book﹣loving library staff of the time.
（1）What could be found in the LAPL's review cards？　 　
A.Public opinions about the library's services.
B.A list of all the books available in the library.
C.A summary of the most popular books in the library.
D.Librarians' comments on newly added fiction books.
（2）What was the purpose of the review cards for the public？　 　
A.To provide free books.
B.To offer readers reference.
C.To promote new authors.
D.To help with book orders.
（3）What can be inferred from paragraph 4？　 　
A.The reviews' comments were subjective.
B.Virginia Woolf's books were difficult to understand.
C.The librarians made wrong judgements about the books.
D.The reviewers used some adjectives to describe the books.
（4）What is the author's attitude toward the review card system？　 　
A.Critical.
B.Doubtful.
C.Appreciative.
D.Neutral.
3．（2025?市中区校级模拟） The boat ride from Helsinki's city center to the island of Pihlajasaari takes only 10 minutes and drops off visitors at beaches for sunbathing.But I had a different mission：to speak to a tree.
This was meant to be a healing exercise，one championed by the Finnish biologist Adela Pajunen.Finns，she'd told me，sometimes share their worries aloud to trees or birds.On shore，I spotted a short black alder tree and began to tell the tree my troubles.The leaves rustled（沙沙作响） in response，a sign I interpreted as sympathy.
I had come to Finland to see whether I could bring happiness back to America with me.Finland has topped the World Happiness Report for the past eight years，largely due to free education and universal health care.And the Finns also find happiness in more attainable ways，such as their close relationship with nature and visiting the sauna（桑拿） daily.These activities contain similar goals：Stay present and seek a minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth.
I followed their lifestyle﹣visiting the sauna and taking a relaxing forest walk，and happiness came in waves over the next few days.I was optimistic that I could recreate the happiest moments of this trip back home in New York.How hard could it be，really？
As it turned out，happiness was a luxury in America，though I tried hard to live exactly like the Finns.Then one afternoon，I had a breakthrough as I rushed through Central Park and noticed a crowd of people staring at the ground.A cardinal!I stopped to admire the bird's feather before it flew away.This was a win for staying present.I'd been so stuck trying to find the time and money for happiness that I'd missed the point：Quiet the mind，and find pleasure in small acts and observations﹣like a cardinal taking flight，or talking to trees﹣right then and there.
As I left the park，I carried out a small but comforting ritual（仪式） I'd developed.I thanked the trees for listening.

5．（2025?吉林模拟） For the past three years，my mother battled cancer in silence.When she learned of her diagnosis，she chose not to tell anyone in our family.She did not want us to worry，so she carried the burden alone.I only noticed her fatigue and thinning hair，but she always smiled and insisted that everything was fine.
Every morning，she would rise before dawn to prepare breakfast for me and my father.I remember the smell of pancakes and freshly brewed coffee filling the kitchen，masking the bitter taste of her reality.She would slip away to her treatments，returning home with a tired smile and dark circles under her eyes.I asked her about the bruises （淤青） on her arms and she simply said they were from clumsy moments.
Despite her pain and growing weakness，my mother devoted herself to my happiness.Every year，as my birthday approached，she carefully selected a special gift，wrapped it in bright paper，and placed it in the garage （车库）.She even painted a small wooden sign above the tool cabinet and hung the key on a hook.On its tag，she wrote， "Open after I die." This secret tradition remained between her and the boxes of presents waiting silently in the garage.
Last month，my mother passed away.I was preparing to leave for college out of state，hoping to see her proud smile as I walked onto the campus.Instead，I returned home to an empty house filled with stillness and echoes of her laughter.My greatest regret is that she never got to see me begin this new chapter of my life.Grief weighed heavily on my heart as I struggled to accept her absence.
A week after the funeral，I remembered the garage key.With trembling hands，I walked into the cluttered space.Behind the old lawnmower and stacked boxes，I found a row of neatly arranged gifts，one for each birthday she had planned.On the wall above them hung a photograph of her and me，smiling at the beach when I was a child.Beneath the photo，in her familiar handwriting，were the words， "Happy Birthday，son.May happiness fill each day!"

6．（2025?惠农区校级三模） I have always been a design enthusiast and painting something never fails to fill me up with joy.Once I took my brother's old shoes and started my creation on them on a casual afternoon.He had almost decided to throw them away，but that was when I picked them up，thinking to give it a shot with the pictures.When my brother saw the final piece，he decided to wear the shoes again.
The concept，Upcycling Is A Fun Process，occurred to me that day.I understood that if I can give a makeover to certain things，they'll be of use again and there is nothing better than returning the use to something while protecting nature.
I shared my work online and started making notebooks，bookmarks，and name signs.Gradually I sharpened my skills.For almost a year，I have been trying my hand at upcycling things such as shoes，bags，T﹣shirts and so on，for many people.I make over things in different ways to suit the needs of their future owners；that is what I put before everything else in most of my works.
I see upcycling as an opportunity to give a makeover to old stuff，restore its value，reduce waste and have lots of fun.I want to normalize upcycling，especially in a world where "ring out the old，ring in the new" is so common with fast fashion trends，fast food，and our boredom with most material things.
With respect to art and upcycling，I soon start working on jeans to give them a new look.Most of us throw away our old jeans just because they're behind the times.But they can be something that is all the rage.I'm aiming to take those pitiful pairs of pants and turn them into something worth keeping and in style.Such practices are always beneficial as they help with sustainable development.After all，we have limited resources and must use them wisely.
（1）What gave the author the idea of upcycling old things？ 　 　
A．Her design talent.
B．A cheer from her brother.
C．A painting experience.
D．Her concern over the environment.
（2）What does the author think most important in the upcycling process？ 　 　
A．Improving her skill.
B．Tailoring every object.
C．Keeping original value.
D．Avoiding material waste.
（3）Why does the author mention "ring out the old，ring in the new"？ 　 　
A．To stress the value of old things.
B．To criticize the craze for new trends.
C．To show difficulties with her work.
D．To explain the necessity of upcycling.
（4）What does the underlined phrase "all the rage" mean in the last paragraph？ 　 　
A．On﹣trend.
B．Wear﹣resistant.
C．Eco﹣friendly.
D．Good﹣looking.
7．（2025?广东模拟） Maybe no one understands the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin.Until four years ago，Liu was a full﹣time computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi.He only wrote science fiction in his free time.But it was during this time that his imagination really took off.He did things he might never get to do in real life—like traveling in space，fighting aliens，and visiting faraway planets.
Even with such a powerful imagination，Liu，who is 55 years old，probably didn't expect that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award in 2015.That's the top prize in science fiction.He might also have never imagined that former US President Barack Obama would read his book The Three﹣Body Problem，or that he would win the 2018 Arthur C.Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society on November 9 in Washington DC.This was the first time a Chinese writer had ever won this award.
In his speech when he accepted the award，Liu said that his imagination came from Arthur C.Clarke，a famous UK sci﹣fi writer.He said that reading Clarke's book 2001：A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s changed his life.
"My mind opened up in a way it never had before.I felt like a small river finally seeing the ocean，" Liu said. "That night，the night sky looked completely different to me.For the first time，I was amazed by how mysterious the universe is."
But even though Liu's imagination takes him to faraway places，his books always make sense.In The Three﹣Body Problem，for example，he tells a story about aliens coming to Earth.But instead of just focusing on the aliens，he talks about how different civilizations interact，the rules of survival，and what life means.In another book，The Wandering Earth，he thinks about what will happen when our solar system ends and humans need to find a new home.But all his ideas are based on real science.Liu's books aren't just dreams—they're grounded in facts.
（1）What do we know about Liu Cixin？　 　
A.He became a full﹣time writer when he was young.
B.He is the first Asian to win the Arthur Clarke Award.
C.He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.
D.He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.
（2）Liu Cixin's words are used mainly to show 　 　 .
A.his feeling after reading Clarke's work
B.his love of reading science fiction
C.his interest in mysteries of the universe
D.his confusion when he started writing
（3）Why did the author mention The Three﹣Body Problem and The Wandering Earth？　 　
A.To prove that Liu Cixin?s works relate science to reality.
B.To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.
C.To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.
D.To compare the different writing styles in the two books.
（4）What's the text mainly about？　 　
A.Liu Cixin's contributions to science fiction.
B.Liu Cixin's achievements and writing style.
C.How Liu Cixin became a sci﹣fi writer.
D.How Liu Cixin started a new sci﹣fi style.
8．（2025?杜集区校级模拟）In her 17 years on this earth，Shreyaa Venkat has done more to help the planet and the people living on it than many adults.The non﹣profit organization she founded，NEST4 US，has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States.Through it，it's served over 12，000 homeless people in the Washington，D.C.area by providing food and other supplies.
Venkat's passion for helping others started as soon as she could walk，as her parents，active volunteers themselves，brought her along on their various projects，like some creative ways to volunteer.By fifth grade，she'd developed such enthusiasm for it that she started organizing her own service projects in her community.
NEST4 US was born when she realized how much food waste there is，how many hungry people there are，and how simple it would be to use the former to help the latter. "There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D.C.and he was holding a sign that said 'Hungry Need Food'，" she recalls. "So I gave him my lunch and his whole face just lit up.It was so easy，it only took me 30 seconds，and it really helped him."
As NEST4 US took off，with hundreds of volunteers helping to feed thousands of hungry people，Venkat decided to branch out with her volunteer efforts，starting three other branches of NEST4 US.Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she even celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter，bringing the party to them instead of expecting gifts for herself.
As much as she has helped others，they've helped her too.Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but running NEST4 US has taught her important life skills like time management，public speaking，writing，and leadership. "What it's really given me is this opinion of putting other people first，" she says.
（1）What can we infer about NEST4 US from the first paragraph？

9．（2025?聊城一模） My three boys were infatuated （迷恋） with building blocks as children，and my husband would play with them，teaching the concept of a"stable base".But I was the one alone with the kids day after day，enduring soul﹣crushing afternoons on the floor of the playroom.I remember when the boys were about 3，7 and 8，feeling like it was an eternity until my husband would get home，and I was thinking："Lego again？Didn't we just do this yesterday？"Those hours seemed to go on forever.
Of the three，my middle child，Aaron，was the one I couldn't always understand.We moved from Ohio to the Bay Area.He'd always been change﹣averse.He was unhappy，wailing for days like King Lear in the storm："Why is everything different？"
So how did Aaron find his balance？Aaron continued building with Lego even as his peers outgrew it.In middle school，he found an online group of enthusiasts who shared designs.By high school，he had discovered the"adult fans of Lego"community.During college，he started accepting commission （委托） work.After graduating，he continued with larger and better﹣paying commissions，cobbling（拼凑） together a burgeoning career.A few years after he graduated，he was hired by Lego.He and his wife now live in Billund，Denmark.
Last fall，when Aaron and I went to the Lego store at Rockefeller Center，I felt like I got a glimpse into the center of his soul.We saw sets he'd designed，and he told me about fellow designers.I realize the concept of the"stable base"that my husband taught him all those years ago has become a metaphor for Aaron's life：Lego is where he feels the most calm，happy and competent.He needs things to make sense in the way Lego makes sense.
The time has gone too fast.I have a new and profound connection to Aaron.When I dump out a bag of the little plastic bricks and start sorting through them，just the mere sound brings me back，to remember and to feel the essence of my son，however far away he might be.

10．（2025春?合肥期末） I am Maria Martignoni.When I completed a doctoral program in mathematical biology，I wasn't sure where I saw my career going.But satisfying my curiosity for knowledge as a postdoc seemed more exciting.The problem was what to do afterward.When people would ask me，"What would you like to do next？"and I had no answer to give and began to worry.My research was fun，but I doubted it could ever be useful.My peers（同辈） asked sharp questions during academic discussions.I could not get rid of the feeling that I was just pretending.
was only during my third postdoc that I experienced a change of attitude.It happened after I volunteered to co﹣lead a group of scientists writing a perspective piece about what future research was needed in our field.The senior researchers on the team commented that，although the draft still needed some significant changes，it was suitable for submission to a high﹣impact journal.This statement changed my attitude.Clearly，they saw me as knowledgeable and competent.Maybe I needed to value my own professional skills a little more highly？
I decided to do my best to improve the article﹣spending more than a year reading dozens of papers，leading group discussions，and editing the article.The process was long and dull.But the more time I devoted to it，the more knowledge I gained，and the more confident I grew.Ultimately，I landed a tenure﹣track position.
When students ask me for advice，I usually tell them that one does not need to have a clear life plan to belong in science.Many know from the start that they want to be researchers.But for others the path to being a scientist unfolds gradually，with uncertainties along the way.As researchers，part of our mission involves finding our way without always knowing where we are going.By the way，always keep in mind that it is self﹣trust that counts.
（1）What made the author feel anxious？　 　
A.Laughter from her peers.

（4）What is the suitable title for the text？　 　
A.How I found my confidence as a scientist
B.How I regained my curiosity for research
C.How I sensed the meaning of persistence
D.How I achieved in mathematical biology
11．（2025?山西模拟） A Canadian violinist Adrian Anantawan just wants to make music.But when he performs，the audience aren't just hearing the beautiful sounds from his violin，they' re also hearing the sounds of inspiration.That's because Anantawan was born without a right hand and most of his right forearm.The disability could have prevented him becoming a musician，but this hasn't blocked him from following his dreams.

"My duty and job is to use this platform in some way to show people what a person with a visible disability can do.And it's always an honor to do that.And you never know who's watching in the audience or who'll be moved or inspired to be able to make a change in their lives，" Anantawan said.

13．（2025?忻州三模） Diving into the ocean is second nature to Barrington Scott，a Marine veteran （老兵） who finds peace 65 feet below the surface. "Scuba （水肺） diving is really relaxing for me，" Scott said. "When I'm underwater，I'm calm and collective."
Scott，who learned to swim only after joining the Marines，first experienced scuba diving more than a decade ago. "It's a whole different environment，" he said. "It was amazing." That initial dive fueled an enthusiasm that led to a once﹣in﹣a﹣lifetime achievement：A Guinness World Records title for the fastest time to scuba dive on all seven continents.It took 19 days，19 hours and 40 minutes，beating the previous mark of 30 days. "I'm definitely shocked，excited and proud，" Scott said upon learning of his record.
Scott，33，grew up in the Bronx，New York.He was in foster care （寄养） until he was adopted at age 12.When he was younger，Scott didn't have many opportunities to explore water activities. "Growing up，I was always that kid trying new things，" he said. "It was the openness to do anything that shook of the fear of trying new things." His underwater journeys have taken him to 17 countries，with each dive offering unique experiences.When asked about his most exciting dive，Scot didn't hesitate： "Antarctica，" he said，though he admitted that he didn't see anything during the dive.
In November，2024，Scott began his 30，000﹣mile adventure across all seven continents.Even in winter，and despite the cold water，diving to 30 feet created a sense of serenity. "I didn't have a lot of ways to relax prior to scuba diving." Scot reflected. "However，ever since I took up scuba diving，I've discovered a lot of places where I can just be at peace or feel safe，which has become a great source of relaxation for me."
From his first dive to his most recent，Scott said the sport "has taught me patience.It has taught me to be mindful.Every dive is a journey.Every experience is shaping me."

14．（2025?巴中模拟） Growing up in the hot Las Vegas desert，all I wanted was to be free.I would daydream about traveling the world，living in a place where it snowed.
At the age of 19，the day after I graduated from high school，I moved to a place where it snowed and I found my
dream job.For the first time in my life，I felt free，independent and completely in control of my life.That is，until my life took a detour（转折点）.I went home from work early one day with what I thought was the flu，and less than 24 hours later I was in the hospital on life support with less than a 2% chance of living.
Over the course of two and a half months I lost the hearing in my left ear and both of my legs below the knee.I thought the worst was over until weeks later when I saw my new artificial legs for the first time.They were so painful that all I could think was，how am I ever going to travel the world in these things？And how was I going to snowboard again？
But I knew that in order to move forward，I had to let go of the old Self and learn to embrace the new Self.And that is when it dawned on me that if I snowboarded again，my feet aren't going to get cold.
Four months later I was back up on a snowboard，although things didn't go quite as expected：My knees and my ankles wouldn't bend.But I knew that I would be able to do this again if I could find the right pair of feet.
I did a year of research，still couldn't figure out what kind of legs to use.So I decided to make a pair myself.My leg maker and I put random parts together and we made a pair of feet that I could snowboard in.Then in 2005 I cofounded a nonprofit organization for youth with physical disabilities so they could get involved with action sports.
Eleven years ago，when I lost my legs，I had no idea what to expect.But if you ask me today，if I would ever want to change my situation，I would have to say no.Because my legs haven't disabled me.They've forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in the possibilities.

16．（2025?罗山县二模） The Nobel Prize is considered as one of the most recognizable and admirable awards possible，honoring people of the world for their outstanding achievements in different fields.
Alfred Nobel was born in 1833 to a family of engineers in Stockholm，Sweden.In 1850，he met Ascanio Sobrero，the inventor of nitroglycerin （硝酸甘油） in Paris.Interested in its unpredictable nature of exploding under pressure or heat，Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a usable explosive.After years of efforts，in 1867，Nobel invented dynamite，which is much easier and safer to control than nitroglycerin.
During his lifetime，Nobel invented and patented various explosives.He built up his wealth from his 355 inventions，from which dynamite was the most important.

17．（2025?固始县二模） As a hockey parent，while watching my son played from Mite to Bantam，House League to Travel，I've learned that losing may be best for kids.
In his third season in 2019，my son's team never lost more than three straight games.There was happiness，boasting，celebration，pizza.In short，it was a typically good youth hockey season.He improved as a player，but did not much change as a person.
However，what happened the next year added its story to the legends of sporting incompetence.Not merely weak but prettily bad，this team lost 40 of their first 50 games，most of the defeats coming in the course of two losing streaks.For a time，I worried that these streaks would kill my child's love of the game.
But that's not what happened.As bad as it got，the losing was clarifying.It weeded out the kids who were in it less for the game than the glory，leaving just the diehards behind.What started as a list of 17 of the team was cut down to 12.It was especially instructive for the kids.It taught him a great truth of the world：For everyone good，there is someone better.
What's more，the kids were learning the game in a way that only losing can teach.Each player got to play everywhere，to learn and appreciate the role of every position on the ice.They kept an eye on their opponents too，studying and incorporating the tricks of success.In an effort to break the streak，they went back to basics，accepted the wisdom of the hockey ancients：If playing like a team，they can defeat a collection of all﹣stars；If doing small and unappreciated tasks well，they can get the goal.
This new team had character and could never be counted out，no matter the score.They had learned the most important lesson：You can lose without being beaten.They squeaked into the state tournament，then made it all the way to the final，where the winner was decided in overtime.When they lost that game and went into the handshake line，it was not as runners﹣up but as a team that had been made into winners in the only way that will stick by losing.

He wasn't outgoing.He didn't display any of the qualities typically associated with a "leader." Yet we liked him.
In a 1992 University of Pittsburgh study，researchers had four women attend a number of different classes.Their attendance varied：one woman might attend every class；a different woman might attend only a few.What didn't vary was their behavior.None of the women spoke in class or spoke to other students.
At the end of the term，students were asked which woman they liked best.Who "won"？Women who attended the highest number of classes.According to the researchers， "Mere exposure had weak effects on familiarity，but strong effects on attraction and similarity." Or in non﹣researcher﹣speak：If I see you frequently，I naturally like you more.That's the power of showing up.
Knowing someone will show up in the future also matters.In a 1967 University of Minnesota study，researchers gave study participants profiles of two people and told them that one would be a partner in future discussion groups.When asked，the participants said they liked their future partner more.Even though the profiles were almost identical.

20．（2025?汕头三模） Eight﹣year﹣old S.Hariraj is a Foldscope devotee.He's used it to examine the milk from his family's cows.Though the milk looks creamy，the Foldscope reveals a world of microorganisms."It has to be boiled and cooled before we can drink it，"he realized.
This incredible device is no ordinary microscope.Made from waterproof，tear﹣resistant paper，it comes in a small bag with parts that can be attached in minutes.Magnets（磁铁） hold it together，and a tiny lens（透镜） allows it to enlarge objects up to 140 times.Once built，it's no larger than a bookmark，small enough to slip into a pocket.And the best part？It costs just ＄2 to produce，and millions of children in low﹣income countries get them for free.
The idea for the Foldscope began with Manu Prakash，a professor at Stanford University，who grew up in India.As a sixth grader，he and his classmates failed to draw a microscope in a test—none of them had ever seen one.Microscopes were expensive，and not all schools could afford a well﹣equipped lab."The spirit of exploration was critical to the study of science，"says Prakash."But in order to develop that spirit，you need the right tools."Determined to change the situation，Prakash spent years experimenting，even borrowing lenses from his brother' s glasses.In 2014，he and his Ph.D.student finally developed the Foldscope，using paper﹣folding techniques to create an alternative to traditional microscopes.
Young Hariraj encountered the Foldscope at Eden School in southern India，where it has transformed science lessons.Children eagerly rush outdoors，searching for ants，flowers，and leaves to examine."I just love the look of amazement when kids look into the Foldscope，"says Indira Pandiarajan，the school principal."When their eyes light up，I know that's the moment they will accept science enthusiastically and learning for the rest of their lives."
（1）Why does the author mention Hariraj in paragraph 1？ 　 　
A.To introduce his hobby.
B.To describe his family life.
C.To explain milk's components.
D.To show Foldscope's practical use.
（2）What is a feature of the Foldscope according to the text？ 　 　
A.It is user﹣friendly.
B.It is magnetic﹣resistant.
C.It is intended for book lovers.
D.It provides step﹣by﹣step instructions.
（3）What motivated Manu Prakash to develop the Foldscope？ 　 　
A.His passion for paper﹣folding art.
B.A university project assigned by his professor.
C.The popularity of portable science tools in India.
D.The high cost and lack of microscopes in his childhood school.
（4）Which statement would Indira Pandiarajan probably agree with？

1．（2025春?滨州期末） It had been over 10 years since the three sisters were last together，and tears welled up in their eyes.The eldest，110﹣year﹣old Rubye Cox，stayed warm under a red plush blanket as her "kid" sisters，104﹣year﹣old Ruth Branum and 101﹣year﹣old Rose Shloss，held her hands.They shared stories，and laughed heartily.This overdue reunion was made possible by a nonprofit organization Wish of a Lifetime，which flew Rose from Florida and Ruth from Oklahoma to Rhode Island.
The charity is the passion project of Jeremy Bloom，a former Olympic skier and NFL player，who was impressed，during his years travelling the world as an athlete，by how much more other countries and cultures seemed to respect and celebrate their elders than what he'd witnessed in America. "Sometimes we forget here that their dreams still matter，" Bloom，43，reflects.
At 15，during a skiing trip to Japan，Bloom was deeply moved when passengers bowed and helped an elderly woman onto a bus.That moment planted a seed，which took 10 years to grow into Wish of a Lifetime.Inspired by the Make﹣A﹣Wish Foundation，which fulfills requests for critically ill children，Bloom aimed to fulfill the wishes of senior citizens.
For the first wish he granted，Bloom arranged for airplane tickets for a woman named Nancy so she could visit her dying daughter，and say goodbye in person.
Today，Wish of a Lifetime has 26 full﹣time staff and 25，000 volunteers across the US，funded by donations and sponsorships.Most wish applications are submitted at wishofalifetime.org by a friend or family member.So far 3，000 wishes have been granted.A World War II veteran returned to the beaches of Normandy for the first time since D﹣Day；a woman wrote and performed a play based on her life story；a former Air Force captain got the chance to meet his heroes，the Rolling Stones.
Though Wish of a Lifetime is not his full﹣time job，Bloom says， "It was my 100 percent all in.Let's change as many lives as we can."
（1）What is the main purpose of Wish of a Lifetime？ 　A　
A.To fulfill the wishes of the elderly.
B.To provide medical care for seniors.

C.It encouraged him to criticize American healthcare system.
D.It made him sense cultural differences in treating seniors.
（3）Why is a WWII veteran mentioned in paragraph 5？ 　D　
A.To indicate the difficulty of fulfilling wishes.
B.To reveal the wide range of seniors' wishes.
C.To stress the importance of respecting seniors.
D.To show the achievements of the organization.

2．（2025?浙江三模） Before the internet made book reviews widely accessible，where would curious minds go to find information about a new novel's subject matter or a plot？
If you lived in the Los Angeles area，you could reference the Los Angeles Public Library's index of fiction book review cards.The reviews，a collection of thousands of index cards，contain library staff members' thoughts and opinions about new fiction releases that the library carried.The library system started in the 1920s and into the 1980s.
Robert Anderson，who has worked as a librarian at the LAPL since 1980，says the staff review cards were a handy tool that library staff used to answer specific questions the public had about different books.The reviews，along with being a helpful public tool，also helped staff pick which books the LAPL would order for their shelves.If a staff member reviewed a book favorably，they were more likely to carry the title and order multiple copies.
The review process was simple：On an index card，library staff would handwrite or type up an abstract of a book they read and give their personal review of it.The cards offered adjectives that the reviewer could underline to indicate how the story might affect readers emotionally.For example，for the library's review of Virginia Woolf's 1925 book Mrs.Dalloway，the reviewer underlined "wholesome，""pleasant，"and"interesting."Of the staff member's characterization of the book，Anderson said he wasn't sure why the reviewer considered Woolf's writing﹣which deals with loneliness and other，often dark human experiences﹣to be healthy，"but they did."
The Los Angeles Public Library's index of staff review cards isn't used regularly anymore.But the system now serves as a historical record of both the books，some almost 100 years old，as well as the cultural views held by the book﹣loving library staff of the time.
（1）What could be found in the LAPL's review cards？　D　
A.Public opinions about the library's services.
B.A list of all the books available in the library.
C.A summary of the most popular books in the library.
D.Librarians' comments on newly added fiction books.
（2）What was the purpose of the review cards for the public？　B　
A.To provide free books.
B.To offer readers reference.
C.To promote new authors.
D.To help with book orders.
（3）What can be inferred from paragraph 4？　A　
A.The reviews' comments were subjective.
B.Virginia Woolf's books were difficult to understand.
C.The librarians made wrong judgements about the books.
D.The reviewers used some adjectives to describe the books.
（4）What is the author's attitude toward the review card system？　C　
A.Critical.
B.Doubtful.
C.Appreciative.
D.Neutral.
