(2025·江苏苏州调研)Honored for his generosity and selfless deeds,Lei Feng,an ordinary Chinese soldier with an extraordinary soul,has been a hero symbolizing altruism (利他主义).And across China,many foreign volunteers have warmed the hearts of Chinese people with their selfless commitment to social welfare,and are warmly called “Yang Lei Feng”,or foreign Lei Feng by locals.
In addition to his primary role as an English teacher at a vocational school in Wuxi,Jiangsu Province,Peter Stanleigh,a Canadian,is also a hero to homeless children,a guide,and an environmentalist.He has selflessly served various roles while leading a foreign volunteer team.
Having settled in Wuxi since 2001,Stanleigh is much better known by his Chinese name—Tang Lei.As the first foreign volunteer registered in Wuxi,he poured the majority of his spare time and energy into social welfare.“Lei Feng is a hero of volunteerism.So I long to pass on to other people the spirit of volunteering.I have been honored with the name Yang Lei Feng,something I carry nobly,” said Stanleigh.
Over the past two decades,Stanleigh has continuously expanded his public welfare efforts.In addition to volunteering in the English corner every week,he and his wife also make appearances at nursing and welfare homes,crowded cross ways and scenic spots—just like Lei Feng,who compared himself to a small yet indispensable part inside a machine while wholeheartedly serving the people.
Stanleigh's volunteer service time registered in Wuxi has now gone beyond 5,000 hours.“I think that a person is judged not by what he does but by what he does for others.My life is better because someone else's life is better,”he said.The Lei Feng spirit,a noble moral strength towering geographic limitations,is perfectly demonstrated in the deeds of countless foreign volunteers like Stanleigh throughout China.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了加拿大志愿者彼得·斯坦利在中国无锡传播雷锋精神的故事,他通过自己的无私奉献,成了当地人心中的“洋雷锋”。
1.What do we know about Peter Stanleigh
A.He is the first registered volunteer in Wuxi.
B.He takes pride in the name“Yang Lei Feng”.
C.He works at the same place as Lei Feng.
D.He has established a vocational school.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,斯坦利认为雷锋是志愿主义的英雄,他以“洋雷锋”这个名字为荣。故选B。
2.What does the underlined word“indispensable”in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Ordinary. B.Worthless.
C.Replaceable. D.Essential.
解析 D 词义猜测题。根据第四段“In addition to volunteering in the English corner every week,he...who compared himself to a small yet”以及下文“part inside a machine while wholeheartedly serving the people”可知,斯坦利全心全意为人民服务,就像雷锋一样,把自己比作机器内部虽小但不可或缺的一部分,由此可知,画线词与D项“必不可少的”语义相近。故选D。
3.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Personal achievements define one's value.
B.True worth comes from helping others.
C.Volunteer work should be financially rewarded.
D.Geographic barriers limit moral actions.
解析 B 推理判断题。根据最后一段斯坦利说的话“I think that a person is judged not by what he does but by what he does for others.”可知,评价一个人不是看他做了什么,而是看他为别人做了什么,这说明真正的价值来自帮助他人。故选B。
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.The Lei Feng Spirit:An Invaluable Virtue in China
B.Volunteerism:A Modern Trend in China
C.Lei Feng:Serving People Wholeheartedly
D.Peter Stanleigh:Spreading the Lei Feng Spirit
解析 D 标题归纳题。通读全文,本文主要讲述了加拿大志愿者彼得·斯坦利在中国无锡传播雷锋精神的故事,他通过自己的无私奉献,成了当地人心中的“洋雷锋”,D项“彼得·斯坦利:传播雷锋精神”为最佳标题。故选D。

(2025·山东济南高二下期末)When Jack Dawson was just 2-year-old,it became obvious that he dreamed about becoming a paramedic,an emergency caregiver.His grandfather owns a first response company in Staffordshire,England,and Jack would ride along in his ambulances with the flashing blue lights.By age three,he would start “randomly performing CPR on his toy bear,pressing its chest”,said his mother,Danielle.“My husband and I decided to teach him first aid.He loves it.”Jack quickly grasped the act of CPR,understanding the different recovery positions,and learned how to use a defibrillator,a machine that starts the heart beating again after a heart attack.
Then,at age seven,overseen by his father and other trainers,the youngster started to lead workshop sessions of his own for their charity,Tamworth Have A Heart,which aims to make Automated External Defibrillators (AED) publicly accessible and train people to use them confidently.Jack teaches both children and adults how to perform CPR and use defibrillators,while also keeping an eye on his town centre and checking that the public defibrillators' pads and batteries are up to date and fit for use.
The sessions often draw 20 to 40 people and sometimes Jack gives presentations in front of 100 people.He does step-by-step demonstrations on how to perform CPR,informing people about the dangers—including looking into patients' airways before pressing.
“He absolutely loves teaching,”Danielle said.“I've never seen him so confident before and the fact that he's helping people to save a life determines him even more.I think people appreciate the information coming from a child,as it makes them think that if a 10-year-old can do it,then they can.”
Under the name“Mini Medic”,Jack has a page on social media posting training nights for those unable to attend.As a result of his community work,the 10-year old is a finalist for Children of Courage Birmingham Awards.Looking forward,Danielle said he was enthusiastic about going to university and being a paramedic.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国的杰克·道森从小受祖父影响,梦想成为一名护理人员,并在家人和培训师的指导下学习急救知识,还为慈善机构开设急救课程,通过社交媒体分享培训信息,并因此成为伯明翰勇气儿童奖的决赛选手的故事。

B.To enhance downtown volunteering.

A.Adults tend to learn more from children.
B.Children make better first-aid instructors.
C.Jack has too much confidence in teaching.
D.Jack's course inspires adults' engagement.
解析 D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段丹尼尔说的话“I've never seen him so confident before and...if a 10-year-old can do it,then they can.”可知,人们认为,如果一个10岁的孩子都能做到,那么他们也能,这说明杰克的课程激发了成年人的参与。故选D。
8.Which of the following best describes Jack Dawson
A.Cautious and manful.
B.Ambitious and funny.
C.Passionate and caring.
D.Lonely and dependent.
解析 C 推理判断题。通读全文,根据第一段中“My husband and I decided to teach him first aid.He loves it.”可知,杰克从小就对急救感兴趣,积极学习急救知识,这体现了他对急救事业的热情;结合第二段最后一句可知,杰克教孩子和成人如何进行心肺复苏术和使用除颤器,还关注公共除颤器的状况,这体现了他对他人生命的关心,C项(热情且有同情心的)最能描述杰克·道森。故选C。
Ⅴ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Green-eyed monster
It is all too human to feel envious of others' success,but what can we do when those feelings threaten to overcome us
The obvious solution would be to avoid comparing ourselves to the people around us. --1 Humans are social creatures,and our standing within a group would have serious consequences for our welfare.As a result,we unavoidably use others as a measure of our success.This can kill satisfaction we've gained from our achievements.
- 2 The relative ranking of people's earnings,compared with friends or coworkers,matters more for life satisfaction than how much they earn.This is the same case in other aspects like education or intelligence.It is how we match up to others that shapes how good we feel about ourselves.
Envy may be worsened by a“focusing illusion (幻想)”. 3 We imagine that our successful friend is living in a constant state of joy,and forget that they have to face everyday difficulties like an argument with their partner or the death of a pet.
In one study,participants were asked to imagine a peer with a desirable life.Simply reminding them of the“small annoyances”this person regularly faced significantly reduced their envy. 4 Realizing this should make us think twice about wishing ourselves in another's shoes.
When we are feeling bitter,we might also interpret others' achievements as evidence that our own goals are achievable.Try remembering all the things within your control,and make a step-by-step plan of how you might achieve that. 5--
We may never escape social comparison.When life gives us sour grapes,however,we can choose to make wine from those momentarily bitter fruits.
A.But that is easier said than done.
B.It refers to a habit of focusing on our failures.
C.So we can't help envying friends' promotion.
D.We can see this in how people think of their income.
E.It describes fixing on a single aspect of someone's life.
F.We can never know what emotional problems someone may have.
G.In this sense,feeling envious will motivate you to take positive actions.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何处理嫉妒情绪。
1.A 上文提到处理嫉妒情绪的办法是避免与他人进行比较,结合下文“As a result,we unavoidably use others as a measure of our success.”可知,人类容易把别人作为衡量自己成功的标准,这体现了避免与他人进行比较其实是很困难的,A项符合语境,且A项中that指代上文提到的“avoid comparing ourselves to the people around us”,故选A。
2.D 上文“This can kill satisfaction we've gained from our achievements.”说明和别人进行比较会扼杀我们从成就中获得的满足感,结合下文的“The relative ranking of people's earnings,compared with friends or coworkers...”通过收入的例子说明上文观点,设空处与下文形成例证关系,D项承上启下,故选D。
3.E 空前一句提到“聚焦幻想”,设空处应进一步解释其含义,E项承接上文,且与空后一句内容相呼应,且E项中It指代上文中的“a‘focusing illusion’”,故选E。
4.F 空前一句说明提醒参与者别人会经常遇到‘小烦恼’会减少他们的嫉妒心,结合空后一句建议换位思考,三思而后行,设空处是关于别人的困境描述,F项符合语境,故选F。
5.G 上文“When we are feeling bitter...our own goals are achievable.”说明用别人的成就激励自己,这是在描述嫉妒的积极意义,G项承接上文,符合语境,故选G。
