(2024·安徽·三模)Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where What Nigeria I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper
accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

A.Because his major was connected with it.
B.Because he was extremely familiar with it.
C.Because he wanted to make the world a better place.
D.Because new graduates had to work for it after graduation.
2.How was the writer’s application process
A.Awkward. B.Complex.
C.Entertaining. D.Effortless.
3.What did the writer do in the village
A.Working as a teacher.
B.Helping villagers build hospitals.
C.Raising money for his students.
D.Inviting locals to enter his Project.
4.Which can be the best title of the text
A.A Life-changing Voluntary Experience

(2024·吉林·三模)It wasn’t until after I graduated from college, and realized that there’s no such thing as all-encompassing (包罗万象) knowledge, that I was able to read for pleasure. A sense of curiosity directed me and I started to see dictionaries as field guides to the life of language. Looking up words felt less like a failing than an admission that there are lots of things I don’t know and an opportunity to discover just how many.
I prize my 1954 copy of Webster’s New International Dictionary, Second Edition. I often consult it, during evening games of Scrabble or midday magazine reading. When I come across unfamiliar words while reading novels, I look them up. When I start encountering these words elsewhere, the linguistic (语言的) universe seems to shrink to the size of a small town.
Dictionaries heighten my senses: They direct my attention into a conversation with language. They make me wonder what other things I’m blind to because I haven’t taught myself to notice them yet. Recently spotted examples include orrery, “a mechanical model, usually clockwork, devised to represent the motions of the moon and Earth (and sometimes also other planets) around the sun.” The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) also tells me that the word comes from the fourth Earl of Orrery, for whom a copy of the first machine was made, around 1700. Useful Obviously not. Satisfying Deeply.
Wikipedia and Google answer questions with more questions, opening up pages you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain complex ones. Using one feels as if I’m prying open an oyster (蚝) rather than falling down a rabbit hole. Why leave solvable mysteries up to guesswork
For me, dictionaries are a door into that kind of uncalculated knowledge-seeking. They remind me that following your curiosity instead of brushing it aside is one of the best ways I know to feel connected to more than what’s right in front of you.
13.What can we know about the author
A.He merely read for fun before graduation.
B.He longed to learn about all knowledge.
C.He considered dictionaries chances of enrichment.
D.He admitted being a failure when learning languages.
14.Why does the author mention the example of orrery in paragraph 3
A.To introduce a word. B.To indicate a finding.
C.To clarify a concept. D.To support a statement.
15.What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Encountering new problems. B.Entering a different world.
C.Acquiring essential common sense. D.Simplifying tough questions.
16.According to the passage, which of the following can best describe dictionaries
A.Jaw-dropping. B.Eye-opening. C.Mind-numbing. D.Labour-saving.
【答案】13.C 14.D 15.A 16.B
【导语】本文为记叙文,讲述了使用词典给作者带来的好处。
13.细节理解题。根据第一段“Looking up words felt less like a failing than an admission that there are lots of things I don’t know and an opportunity to discover just how many.(查单词与其说是一种失败,不如说是一种承认,我不知道的东西很多,而且有机会发现到底有多少)”可知,作者认为字典有丰富知识的机会。故选C。
14.推理判断题。根据第三段“They make me wonder what other things I’m blind to because I haven’t taught myself to notice them yet. Recently spotted examples include orrery, “a mechanical model, usually clockwork, devised to represent the motions of the moon and Earth (and sometimes also other planets) around the sun.”(它们让我怀疑还有什么东西是我视而不见的,因为我还没有教会自己去注意它们。最近发现的例子包括orrery:“一种机械模型,通常是发条装置,用来表示月球和地球(有时也包括其他行星)围绕太阳的运动。”)”可推知,作者在第3段提到了orrery的例子是为了支持一项声明。故选D。
15.词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Wikipedia and Google answer questions with more questions, opening up pages you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain complex ones.(维基百科和谷歌用更多的问题回答问题,打开你从未问过的页面。但是字典建立在常识的基础上,用简单的词来解释复杂的词)”可知,词典可以简洁的方式解释复杂的问题,而其他网站则以更多的问题来回答你的问题,没有达到解决的目的。由此可知falling down a rabbit hole 意指没有解决问题反而遇到新的问题。可知,故选A。
16.推理判断题。根据最后一段“For me, dictionaries are a door into that kind of uncalculated knowledge-seeking. They remind me that following your curiosity instead of brushing it aside is one of the best ways I know to feel connected to more than what’s right in front of you.(对我来说,字典是一扇通往那种未经计算的求知之门。他们提醒我,跟随你的好奇心,而不是置之不理,是我所知道的最好的方式之一,让
你觉得自己与眼前的事物有更多的联系)”可推知,词典丰富了知识,打开了作者的视野。故选B。
(2024·吉林长春·三模)I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me.
So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to.
Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen.
I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.
These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing.
17.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.The author didn’t believe in e-mail.
B.Mom had been cheated by letters from strangers.
C.Communicating by writing letters was Mom’s favorite.
D.The author was attached to receiving letters from Mom.
18.What inspired the author to launch the act
A.The letters’ comforting effect on people. B.Her intention of providing professional aid.
C.The positive influence of modern technology. D.Her mother’s fear of modern communication.
19.Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”
A.It melts ice easily on a cold day. B.It serves as a tool for magic tricks.
C.It encourages people to recover from traumas. D.It helps to start a conversation with passers-by.
20.What can be a suitable title for the text

C.Love Letters to Strangers. D.The Art of Writing Letters.
【答案】17.D 18.A 19.D 20.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者通过亲手写信的方式与陌生人交谈,给他们带去了安慰。
17.细节理解题。根据第一段“I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me.(我真的在等着收到一封信,看看周末过得怎么样,这对我来说通常是最温暖的安慰)”可知,作者很喜欢收到妈妈的来信。故选D。
18.细节理解题。根据第三段“Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.(一夜之间,我的收件箱变成了心碎的港湾——一位在萨克拉门托的单身母亲,一个在堪萨斯州乡下被欺负的女孩……所有人都要求我给他们写一封信,给他们一个在邮箱旁等待的理由)”可知,信件对人们的安慰作用激发了作者发起这项活动。故选A项。
19.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.(于是我开始给陌生人讲述一个女人的故事,她的丈夫在阿富汗战争中受到了创伤,她如何在家里到处留下情书,以一种方式说:“回到我身边来。”而这个决定结束自己生命的人,今晚安然入睡,枕头下有陌生人手写的信,他们一直守候在他身边)”可知,为什么作者称邮件箱为“神奇的破冰器”是因为它开启了和陌生人的交谈。故选D项。
20.主旨大意题。根据第二段“So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers.

(2024·河南开封·二模)Despite an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of students in large lecture hall, Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A&M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science.
Known as “Dr. Tatiana”, the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm in her videos. A range of everyday objects are used in her experiments, from pingpong balls and toilet paper to marshmallows, bicycle wheels and hair dryers. Videos of her dramatic demonstrations have received hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms.
However, things aren’t always easy. When she first started teaching college freshman classes two decades ago, she also struggled to grab the attention of her students. “I did not grab their attention on the first day-that was my mistake.” she says. “I missed this opportunity to bond with them from the very beginning, and then it took me a while to find my voice.”
By the second semester, she found her footing, adjusting her approach to get her students engaged. The key, she says, has been to make herself approachable and her instruction personal. And, of course, add showy demonstrations. “These demonstrations often help students to connect these abstract concepts with real life.” she says.
Physics department head Grigory Rogachev says Erukhimova’s work has helped bring visibility to the department, with about 2. 5 million subscribers on its department’s YouTube page, which has translated to a boost in research funds and physics major applicants.
As a leader in a STEM field in which women are underrepresented, she’s become a role model for some. Afiya Dhanani attended Texas A&M University after seeing Erukhimova’s videos online. “Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader. Was more inspiring for me to even go into physics.” Dhanani said in an interview with CBS Mornings. That’s all Erakhimova says she can hope for -making physics less forbidding and more exciting.
21.What does Erukhimova’s online videos feature
A.Rare materials. B.Energetic presentation.
C.Plain demonstration. D.Professional explanation.
22.Which saying explains Erukhimova’s initial failure to grab students’ attention 20 years ago
A.All that glitters is not gold.
B.Sharp tools make good work.
C.First impressions are make or break.
D.A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
23.How does Erukhimova’s work contribute to the physics department
A.It leads more students to change their majors.
B.It makes more people to know about the department.
C.It helps the department translate more research papers.
D.It attracts more physics professors to join the department.
24.Which word best describes Erukhimova as a leader in a STEM field
A.Inspirational. B.Underestimated. C.Cooperative. D.Ambitious.
【答案】21.B 22.C 23.B 24.A
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了女性代表不足的STEM领域的领导者Erukhimova走向成功的故事。
21.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Known as “Dr. Tatiana”, the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm in her videos.(这位被称为‘塔蒂亚娜博士’的教授在她的视频中以无限的能量和热情表演物理技巧。)”可知,Tatiana的网上视频以充满能量和热情的表演为主,故选B。
22.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“However, things aren’t always easy. When she first started teaching college freshman classes two decades ago, she also struggled to grab the attention of her students. “I did not grab their attention on the first day-that was my mistake.” she says. “I missed this opportunity to bond with them from the very beginning, and then it took me a while to find my voice.”(然而,事情并不总是那么容易。当她第一次开始教授大学生时,她也很难吸引学生的注意力。‘第一天我没有引起他们的注意,那是我的错’。她说道。‘从第一开始我就错过了与他们建立联系的机会,后来我花了一段时间才找到自己的声音’。)”可知,20年前,在第一节课上,Erukhimova未能吸引到学生的注意力,因此她后面付出了很多才让学生对这门学科感兴趣,因此“第一印象是成败的关键”,故选C。
23.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Physics department head Grigory Rogachev says Erukhimova’s work has helped bring visibility to the department, with about 2. 5 million subscribers on its department’s YouTube page (物理系主任Grigory Rogachev说道,Erukhimova的工作有助于提高物理系的知名度,该系的YouTube页面上约有250万订阅者)”可知,Erukhimova的工作提高了物理系的知名度,让更多人知道了物理系,故选B。
24.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As a leader in a STEM field in which women are underrepresented, she’s become a role model for some.(作为女性代表不足的STEM领域的领导者,她已经成为了一些人的榜样。)”可知,她是很多人的榜样,因此作为STEM领域的领导者,她是鼓舞人心的,激励人的,故选A。
(2024·河南信阳·二模)When you picture doing a science project, you might imagine looking through a microscope or building a model volcano. But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve.
Elizabeth, 14, who is in seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C, designed a program. Her method is based on the golden ratio (比例). This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly (均匀地) across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer.
“As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person,” Elizabeth says, “In fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” But last year, Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in information storage, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio technique by running programs on a computer.
But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing programs is such a boring process. But it was just exciting to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.”
“Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.”
25.What can we learn about science projects according to this passage
A.They can come from different hobbies. B.They will inspire teens to find solutions.
C.They need skills in building models. D.They may involve great imagination.
26.What is Elizabeth’s programming used for
A.Strengthening memories. B.Storing information.
C.Creating fine works. D.Protecting nature.
27.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A.Imagination is the source of creation. B.Laugh it off when facing difficulties.
C.Well begun is half done. D.Every effort will pay off.
28.What is Elizabeth doing with her words in the last paragraph
A.Expressing doubts. B.Making promises.
C.Offering advice. D.Giving response.
【答案】25.A 26.B 27.D 28.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了14岁的Elizabeth通过将美术中的“黄金分割率”运用到了电脑编程中即通过自己的兴趣创建了一个编程项目帮助电脑存储信息。通过她的故事,本文讲述了一个道理:世上无难事只怕有心人。
25.细节理解题。根据第一段中“But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve. (但是科学项目可以在任何地方进行。许多青少年从演奏乐器到做体操中获得灵感。把你最喜欢的活动变成一个科学项目所需要做的就是找出一个你想要解决的问题)”可知,科学项目在任何地方都可以进行,涵盖的内容广泛,可以把自己的爱好转变成任何一个科学项目。因此科学项目可以来自于不同的爱好。故选A。
26.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Elizabeth’s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly (均匀地) across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer. ( Elizabeth的数据存储策略帮助计算机在内存设备上均匀地写入数据。这可以帮助这些设备使用更长时间)”可知,Elizabeth的编程是用来存储信息的。故选B。
27.推判断题。由文章第四段中“But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing programs is such a boring process. But it was just exciting to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.” (但在这个项目之前,Elizabeth没有编码经验。为了准备,她花了几个月的时间阅读了一本关于如何编程的教科书。她说:“那不是一个‘啊哈’的时刻。编写程序是一个如此无聊的过程。但在那几个小时后,看到电脑实际上只是在做我吩咐它做的事情,这真是令人兴奋。”)”可知,一切努力都会有回报的。故选D。
28.推理判断题。由文章最后一段中““Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.” (“不要限制自己,”伊丽莎白补充道,“你面临的最大挑战之一就是改变你的心态。我从来没有想过科学或计算机科学会是我喜欢的东西,但在学习了一些编程知识之后,我发现这实际上是一种表达自己的新方式。文字,绘画,现在是编程。”)”可知,在最后一段中伊丽莎白给读者提供建议。故选C。
(2024·安徽淮北·一模)My earliest reading memory takes me back to being five years old, sitting in my grandfather’s cozy study. He would read to me from his French-translated copy of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle
Book. I was so familiar with the stories that I could correct him word-for-word if he tried to change something.
Growing up, my favorite book was Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes. It was a treasure for an imaginative and lonely child like me. The book was filled with magical elements: a magical carousel, monsters, and the charming scent of autumn leaves lying in the sun. The language was as crisp and sweet as an October apple, awakening in me a deep passion for words and the magic they could bring out. I’ve reread it regularly and it never fails to satisfy me.
In my adult years, I revisited Emily Bront ’s Wuthering Heights. When I first read it at 16, I perceived it as a love story. However, rereading it as an adult, I was struck by how different it seemed to me, and how much of the humour I’d missed. Now I love its poetry. And the love story not only exists between the characters but between Bront and the North York Moors.
James Joyce’s Ulysses was a book I came back to after 40 years. Initially, at 15, I found it ugly, depressing, and dull, and I hated it. It took me four decades to return to it, and this time, I found myself understanding and beginning to appreciate it. I could see the details, the mythic parallels, the references to different writing styles, and the groundbreaking technique.
Though some exceptional books can develop and grow alongside us, others fall by the wayside. I’ve revisited so many childhood favourites only to find the magic gone, but I’m usually happy to leave the book behind. I’ve taken from it what I need.
29.What was the author’s earliest reading memory
A.Copying the stories of Rudyard Kipling.
B.Reading Something Wicked This Way Comes.
C.Studying Ulysses for writing styles.
D.Listening to The Jungle Book in French.
30.Which part of Wuthering Heights gave the author a different feeling as an adult
A.The complex plot. B.The characters.
C.The humour and poetry. D.The love story.
31.What do the underlined words “fall by the wayside” in the last paragraph mean
A.Remain unchanged over years. B.Lose their original attraction.
C.Gain widespread popularity. D.Are left by the side of the road.
32.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.The Changing Power of Reading
B.The Development of Reading Taste
C.The Lifelong Journey of Rereading Classics
D.The Childhood Memories in Reading Habits
【答案】29.D 30.C 31.D 32.C
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己重温经典的经历。
29.细节理解题。根据第一段的“My earliest reading memory takes me back to being five years old, sitting in my grandfather’s cozy study. He would read to me from his French-translated copy of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book.( 我最早的阅读记忆是5岁时,坐在祖父舒适的书房里。他会给我读他的法语译本《丛林之书》。)”可知,作者最早的阅读记忆是听祖父读法语译本《丛林之书》,故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段的“When I first read it at 16, I perceived it as a love story. However, rereading it as an adult, I was struck by how different it seemed to me, and how much of the humour I’d missed. Now I love its poetry. And the love story not only exists between the characters but between Bront and the North York Moors.(当我16岁第一次读到这本书时,我认为这是一个爱情故事。然而,当我长大后重读它时,我惊讶于它对我来说是多么的不同,以及我错过了多少幽默。现在我喜欢它的诗。这个爱情故事不仅存在于人物之间,也存在于Bront 和北约克摩尔人之间。)”可知,成年后作者再读《呼啸山庄》感觉它不再只是一个爱情故事,作者欣赏其中的幽默并喜欢书里的诗歌。故选C。
31.词句猜测题。根据前文“Though some exceptional books can develop and grow alongside us(虽然一些杰出的书籍可以与我们一起成长,)”可知,前后文是转折关系,因此推断此处讲述一些书籍可以陪伴我们成长,其他的却没有,因此推断画线部分与D项“被遗弃在路边”意思相近。故选D。
32.主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是最后一段的“I’ve revisited so many childhood favourites only to find the magic gone, but I’m usually happy to leave the book behind. I’ve taken from it what I need.(我曾重温过许多童年时的最爱,却发现其中的魔力已不复存在,但我通常很乐意把书留下。我已经从里面拿走了我需要的东西。)”可知,文章作者讲述了自己重温小时候读过的经典书籍的经历。因此推断C项“重读经典的一生之旅”为最佳标题。故选C。
(2024·安徽·二模)In a gray box, I have a thick pile of love letters. I imagine about sharing them with a granddaughter when I’m 90. But my most treasured love letter is from one of my best friends. It’s a handwritten letter years ago when I was having trouble getting over a man. Her letter is the most romantic in my pile. It made no excuses. It simply let me know that I was loved.
Reflecting on her gift, and the dying art of handwritten letters in our age of emails and emoticons, I chose to conduct an experiment this Christmas: replacing presents with heartfelt, handwritten love letters for my family
members.
In our digital era, most of us rarely take the time to share deeply considered thoughts and emotions with the people in our lives. Handwriting captures the writer’s emotions, often preserved longer than digital exchanges. However, technology is taking over. First came typewriters and keyboards. Now a new brain-computer lets people type with their minds. What are we losing when we sacrifice the physical labor behind the written word We tend to value what we struggle for. Have we undervalued the human exchange of ideas
That day, I came across a letter my mom wrote to her parents when she was young. She seemed so comfortable with her parents. It was a relationship I didn’t have with her. I was inspired by my mother’s letter to her parents when I sat down to write my letter to her. I wanted her to know my love, and to close the crack that technology and culture had created between us. With each sentence, I was discovering new and deeper ways of seeing my mother, and making myself known to her in more thoughtful ways as well.
Eight single-space pages later, my hand was aching but I was done. It was only the first of my love letters, but it was already clear: What had begun as a fun project was in fact one of the most important undertakings of my life.
33.Why does the author mention her love letters in Paragraph 1
A.To show her grand charm as a young girl. B.To share them with one of her granddaughters.
C.To highlight the value of handwritten letters. D.To look back upon her romantic relationship.
34.How will technology probably affect us in the digital age
A.Making our interaction less emotional. B.Encouraging our thoughtful communication.
C.Saving our physical labor in conveying emotions. D.Increasing our effort in handwritten exchanges.
35.Why did the author handwrite a letter to her mother
A.To give her mother a big surprise. B.To answer her mother’s handwritten letter.
C.To bridge a communication gap. D.To make her mother feel more comfortable.
36.What did the author learn from her experiment
A.The irreplaceable bond of family members. B.The tendency of information technology.
C.The expression of emotions in the digital age. D.The power of handwritten correspondence.
【答案】33.C 34.A 35.C 36.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文以作者自己的亲身经历,说明了手写信件的力量。
33.推理判断题。根据第一段“But my most treasured love letter is from one of my best friends. It’s a handwritten letter years ago when I was having trouble getting over a man. Her letter is the most romantic in
my pile. It made no excuses. It simply let me know that I was loved.”( 但我最珍贵的关于爱的信是我最好的朋友写的。这是几年前的一封手写信,当时我很难忘记一个男人。她的信是我这堆信中最浪漫的。它没有任何借口。它只是让我知道我被爱着)可知,作者在第一段提到她的关于爱的信是强调手写信件的价值。故选C项。
34.细节理解题。根据第三段“In our digital era, most of us rarely take the time to share deeply considered thoughts and emotions with the people in our lives.”(在我们的数字时代,我们大多数人很少花时间与我们生活中的人分享深思熟虑的想法和情感)可知,数字时代让我们的互动不那么有感情。故选A项。
35.细节理解题。根据第四段“I wanted her to know my love, and to close the crack that technology and culture had created between us.”( 我想让她知道我的爱,并弥合技术和文化在我们之间造成的裂痕。)可知,作者要手写一封信给她的母亲是因为想弥合沟通差距。故选C项。
36.推理判断题。根据第三段“Handwriting captures the writer’s emotions, often preserved longer than digital exchanges.”( 手写文字捕捉了作者的情感,通常比数字交流保存得更久)以及最后一段“It was only the first of my love letters, but it was already clear: What had begun as a fun project was in fact one of the most important undertakings of my life.”( 这只是我的第一封关于爱的信,但我已经很清楚:一开始只是一个有趣的项目,实际上是我一生中最重要的事业之一。)可知,从实验中,我们学到了手写信件的力量。故选D项。
(2024·安徽池州·二模)In 1999, Giuliana Furci, founder and founding director of the Fungi (真菌) Foundation, developed a deep interest in fungi. They were everywhere, and the 20-year-old took particular joy in the variety of mushrooms: small and button-shaped; tall and umbrella-like; round with red caps topped with white flakes. Some were commonly found in people’s diets, for they were rich in nutrients such as vitamin, fiber, minerals and protein.
But Furci also quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignored in Chile, where there were few guidebooks and an almost total lack of policies and resources to protect them from over-harvesting and other human activities. Determined to correct this, Furci wrote a field guide and set up the Fungi Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to fungi conservation. In her guide, special attention went to the role of fungi in the ecosystem.
“Life on the planet wouldn’t exist without fungi,” said Greg Mueller, a mushroom conservation expert. “Because of their relationship with forests and trees, we can’t survive without fungi. In terms of the health of the planet, they’re incredibly important to humans and the overall ecosystem.” Fungi can break down plants and animals, thus cycling nutrients and increasing their availability in the soil. They are also important contributors to the soil carbon stock through the same process. What’s more, fungi have been found to help degrade (降解) various pollutants, such as plastic. And mycelium (菌丝体), which is the root structure of mushrooms, is now being used to
replace unsustainable materials, such as plastic and animal-based products.
Because of these, exploration of fungi was expanded at a faster pace. However, some were already listed as critically endangered. In 2010, Furci took an even bigger step—with other environmental nonprofits, she put forward a proposal for the government to systematically assess how large new developments such as housing, dams, and highways affect fungi. In 2012, a law was passed and Chile became the first country in the world to protect fungi by law.
37.What can we learn about Furci from the first two paragraphs
A.She enjoyed collecting mushrooms.
B.She was fond of cooking mushrooms.
C.She worried about the situation of fungi.
D.She had a habit of writing field guidebooks.
38.What is Paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A.The life on earth without fungi.
B.The importance of fungi on earth.
C.The relations between trees and fungi.
D.The practical uses of fungi in the future.
39.How did Furci protect the ecosystem
A.By writing free instructions on plants.
B.By starting a non-profit ecotourism company.
C.By raising awareness of the importance of fungi.
D.By passing laws to ban over-harvesting mushrooms.
40.Which of the following best describes Furci’s work
A.Ground-breaking. B.Debatable.
C.Romantic. D.Unmatched.
【答案】37.C 38.B 39.C 40.A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Furci意识到真菌对地球上生命的重要性后通过写指南、成立基金会等方式来呼吁人们关注并保护真菌。她和其他环保组织的行为甚至促使智利通过了一项保护真菌的法律。
37.细节理解题。根据第二段中“But Furci also quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignored in Chile, where there were few guidebooks and an almost total lack of policies and resources to protect them
from over-harvesting and other human activities. (但弗奇也很快意识到,这些真菌在智利基本上被忽视了,那里几乎没有指导手册,几乎完全缺乏保护它们免受过度捕捞和其他人类活动影响的政策和资源)”可知,Furci担心真菌的现状。故选C。
38.主旨大意题。根据本段第一句““Life on the planet wouldn’t exist without fungi,” said Greg Mueller, a mushroom conservation expert. (“如果没有真菌,地球上的生命就不会存在,”蘑菇保护专家格雷格·穆勒说)”并结合本段其他内容可知,本段主要介绍了真菌对地球上生命的重要性。故选B。
39.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Determined to correct this, Furci wrote a field guide and set up the Fungi Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to fungi conservation. In her guide, special attention went to the role of fungi in the ecosystem.(为了纠正这一点,弗奇写了一本野外指南,并成立了真菌基金会——一个致力于真菌保护的非营利组织。在她的指南中,特别关注了真菌在生态系统中的作用)”可知,为了保护真菌,Furci写了指南并成立了真菌基金会。由此推知,Furci通过提高人们对真菌重要性的认识来保护真菌。故选C。
40.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In 2010, Furci took an even bigger step—with other environmental nonprofits, she put forward a proposal for the government to systematically assess how large new developments such as housing, dams, and highways affect fungi. In 2012, a law was passed and Chile became the first country in the world to protect fungi by law.(2010年,Furci与其他环保非营利组织一起迈出了更大的一步,她向政府提出了一项建议,要求政府系统评估住房、水坝和高速公路等大型新开发项目对真菌的影响。2012年,智利通过了一项法律,成为世界上第一个以法律保护真菌的国家)”可知,Furci和其他环保组织的行为甚至促使智利通过一项保护真菌的法律。由此推知,Furci的工作是有开创性的。故选A。
(2024·重庆·二模)What’s the truth of joy I was obsessed with this question when I was young. However,ever since I started my own family, this quest has been buried under my workloads and daily chores.
In 2008, Memorial Day weekend promised to deliver beautiful weather—not always the case at that time of year, so I decided to spend that Saturday shopping and do one big cleaning, starting with the garage. Our two-car garage, as always, was full of stuff. Boxes piled one on top of another, bikes crossed together. A garden hose (软水管) sat in a corner. We had to turn sideways when getting in and out. I planned to pull everything out on the driveway, hose down the entire garage, and after it was dry, put everything back more organized.
With the morning moving along, the possibility to finish the cleaning within the day began to look less and less likely. I recalled how I had been feeling discontented lately while taking care of our stuff. Here was yet another time!Then my neighbor June, who was working in her yard, heard my sigh and said jokingly, “The joy of home ownership, huh That’s why my daughter keeps telling me I don’t need to own all this stuff.”
I don’t need to own all this stuff.
As I turned to look at the fruits of my morning labor, I began to recognize the source of my feelings for the first
time. It was piled up in my driveway. As I surveyed the pile I made, the answer to the obsolete (被遗忘的) question came to light: There is more joy to be found in possessing less than we can ever find possessing more.
I ran inside the house and found my wife upstairs cleaning the bathtub. Still trying to catch my breath, tI said, “Kim, you’ll never guess what just happened. June said we don’t need to own all this stuff!”
And in that moment, a minimalist family was born.
41.Which of the following best describes the to-be-cleaned garage
A.Spacious and well-lit. B.Neatly labeled and sorted.
C.Disordered and jam-packed. D.Narrow and weather-beaten.
42.What can we infer about the author’s recent experience with stuff cleaning
A.He went through unaccountable frustration. B.He figured out his disinterest in cleaning.
C.He initiated it and enjoyed the process. D.He lost patience and rushed to the end.
43.What did June imply by saying “The joy of home ownership, huh”
A.The pleasure of possessing a home. B.The significance of owning a family.
C.The convenience of having a garage. D.The demands of maintaining a house.
44.Why did the author start a minimalist family
A.He favored living with a handful of people. B.He wanted to quit being a slave of stuff.
C.He considered cleaning a waste of time. D.He figured out the joy of ownership.
【答案】41.C 42.A 43.D 44.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者清理车库付出了很多努力,从中意识到拥有更少的东西比拥有更多的东西更快乐,于是决定做一个极简主义家庭。
41.推理判断题。根据第二段“Our two-car garage, as always, was full of stuff. Boxes piled one on top of another, bikes crossed together. A garden hose (软水管) sat in a corner. We had to turn sideways when getting in and out. I planned to pull everything out on the driveway, hose down the entire garage, and after it was dry, put everything back more organized.(我们的车库只有两辆车,和往常一样,堆满了东西。箱子一个叠一个,自行车交叉在一起。一根花园水管放在角落里。进出的时候我们不得不侧着身子走。我打算把车道上的所有东西都拿出来,用水管冲洗整个车库,等车库干了,再把所有东西放回去)”可推知,待清洁的车库混乱和拥挤。故选C。
42.推理判断题。根据第三段“With the morning moving along, the possibility to finish the cleaning within the day began to look less and less likely. I recalled how I had been feeling discontented lately while taking care of
our stuff.(随着时间的推移,在一天内完成清洁工作的可能性越来越小了。我回忆起最近在处理我们的东西时,我是如何感到不满的)”可推知,作者最近清理物品经历了难以解释的挫折。故选A。
43.推理判断题。根据划线词后文“That’s why my daughter keeps telling me I don’t need to own all this stuff.(这就是为什么我女儿一直告诉我,我不需要拥有所有这些东西)”以及上文作者为了清理车库,维护房子付出了很大努力,可推知,琼说“拥有房子的快乐”意思是维护房子的需求。故选D。
44.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“As I surveyed the pile I made, the answer to the obsolete (被遗忘的) question came to light: There is more joy to be found in possessing less than we can ever find possessing more.(当我审视自己堆成的那堆东西时,那个过时的问题的答案浮现了出来:拥有更少的东西比拥有更多的东西更快乐)”可推知,作者建立一个极简主义家庭是因为不想再做物质的奴隶了。故选B。
(2024·重庆·二模)Baseball was everything to Walker Smallwood. But when he was just 14 years old, he got heartbreaking news that he had a rare form of bone cancer growing in his left leg. His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays.
The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option. “At the time I guess I was just kind of in denial, because my whole life, day in and day out, was built around baseball and sports,” Walker said. “It was pretty disastrous,” his mom, Pam said. The most the 17-year-old would be able to do is play catch with his teammates as they warmed up for their games.
As the team approached the final game of the season, Walker’s parents and coach agreed that he could pitch (投球) for an inning (一局) or two for the old time’s sake.
“Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened,” Walker said.
What ended up happening was more than anyone ever expected. Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened. Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process.
“I was in tears, most of the stands were in tears — just one of those special moments that we’ll cherish forever,” mom Pam said. Smallwood may never play again. He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.
45.What does the word “It” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to
A.The serious injury to his leg. B.The childhood baseball dream.
C.The risk of multiple surgeries. D.The long-term mental stress.
46.Which of the following best describes Walker Smallwood
A.Confident and energetic. B.Ambitious and determined.
C.Brilliant and considerate. D.Optimistic and independent.
47.Why does the author mention a World Series ring in the last paragraph
A.To emphasize the value of cherishing every moment.
B.To stress the significance of any championship prize.
C.To highlight Walker’s personal success at the game.
D.To serves as a reminder of challenges in Walker’s life.
48.What can we learn from Walker’s story
A.Misfortune can tell us what fortune is. B.You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
C.Constant dropping wears away a stone. D.What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
【答案】45.A 46.B 47.C 48.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,本文介绍了17岁男孩 Walker Smallwood 因患一种罕见的癌症不得不放弃棒球运动。他重返球场参加最后一场比赛,投出了一个无安打的球,震惊所有人。
45.词句猜测题。根据前两段以及“The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option.(这位年轻投手的腿永远不会强壮到足以让他参加比赛)”可知,Walker一直梦想成为职业棒球手,但因癌症造成腿部伤害,无力支持高强度运动,妈妈因此想表达这简直是灾难性的,所以 it 在这里就是指代前面的癌症使得他的腿受伤无力这件事。故选A。
46.推理判断题。根据第四段“Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened(说你做到了,找点乐子,然后就行了。显然,事实并非如此)”和第五段中“Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened.(Walker不仅在第一局投出了稳定的球,而且他最终投出了无安打。教练决定让他留在比赛中,直到他开始放弃投球,但这并没有发生)”可知,Walker在得知有机会参加最后一场比赛后,就决心不只是去玩玩,而是认真打比赛。结果他投出了一个无安打的球,超出所有人的预期。从这里可以看出这位年轻投手有追求,有决心,也很努力, 棒球是他一生的追求,说明他很有雄心壮志。故选B。
47.推理判断题。从文章最后一段“Smallwood may never play again. He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.(Smallwood可能再也不会上场了。他现在已经接受了,因为当你已经打败了你最大的竞争对手并且保持不败时,谁还需要一个世界大赛戒指呢)”可知,作者是为了强调 Smallwood 当天在棒球场上的成就超过了任何冠军奖的意义。一枚世界大赛戒指是棒球终极成就的象征,但Smallwood克服癌症带来的伤痛,
投出一个无安打的球,所向无敌,其它荣誉何足挂齿。 虽然他可能再也不能打球了,但他并不感到失落。故选C。
48.推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays.(在接下来的三年里,他经历了6次手术、24次治疗和18次住院,他的棒球生涯戛然而止)”和倒数第二段中“Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process.(Smallwood在整场比赛中三振了除两名击球手外的所有人,并在此过程中追平了学校的记录)”可知,本文介绍了17岁男孩 Walker Smallwood 因患一种罕见的癌症不得不放弃棒球运动。他重返球场参加最后一场比赛,投出了一个无安打的球,震惊所有人。D项“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.(那些杀不死你的,终将使你更强大)”符合题意,无法打败你的事情才能让你更坚强,点明中心。故选D。
(2024·广西柳州·三模)It’s been 20 years since a cookbook changed my life. Before reading every page in Nigella Lawson’s Feast, I didn’t give much thought lo what I ate. Cooking was a boring task I wasn’t particularly good at. Moreover, fear of calories and not being able to fit into my jeans left little room for enjoying things like “chocolate cake”. Nigella, the author of Nigella Lawson’s Feast transformed my relationship with food, changing it from a source of panic to one of limitless pleasure. Leafing through the pages of Feast, I began to think of the women who shaped my cooking. They not only influenced me strongly with their words, recipes and passion for the art of eating, but they also left their mark on the culinary (烹饪的) world.
Take Eugénie Brazier, for example, who grew up with barely enough to eat yet with plenty of determination to achieve great things. After years of hard work on farms and later as a humble cook, she used the little savings she had to open La Mère Brazier, a restaurant that would attract the likes of celebrities. A second location followed, and in 1933, she became the first chef ever to hold six Michelin stars simultaneously (同时地). Known as the mother of modern French cooking, Brazier’s simple yet elegant food changed the way Britain ate.
What Brazier did for the UK, the passionate Julia Child did for America. At a time when TV dinners and tinned foods were gaining popularity, she inspired home cooks to try elegant recipes, teaching them about the use of quality ingredients in an approachable way.
While Julia Child tempted us with her recipes, it was the American author Fisher who enlightened us with her fine cooking prose (散文). In her brilliant essays, she praised the pleasures of the table and explored connections between food and culture.

49.推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s been 20 years since a cookbook changed my life. Before reading every page in Nigella Lawson’s Feast, I didn’t give much thought lo what I ate. Cooking was a boring task I wasn’t particularly good at. Moreover, fear of calories and not being able to fit into my jeans left little room for enjoying things like ‘chocolate cake’. Nigella, the author of Nigella Lawson’s Feast transformed my relationship with food, changing it from a source of panic to one of limitless pleasure. Leafing through the pages of Feast, I began to think of the women who shaped my cooking.(20年前一本食谱改变了我的生活。在阅读Nigella Lawson’s Feast的每一页之前,我并没有过多地考虑我吃了什么。烹饪是一项无聊的工作,我不是特别擅长。此外,对卡路里的恐惧和穿不下牛仔裤让我几乎没有时间去享受‘巧克力蛋糕’之类的东西。Nigella是Nigella Lawson’s Feast的作者,她改变了我与食物的关系,把它从恐慌的来源变成了无限快乐的来源。翻阅Feast,我开始想起那些影响我烹饪的女性)”可知,作者先是讲述一本食谱对自己的影响,由此想起那些影响过自己烹饪的女性,即本文的主题,故作者是通过描述自己的经历来引入话题的。故选C。

(2024·山西·二模)Frederick Phiri, known as the junk-art king of Zambia, set out on a remarkable journey at the age of 22 when he began earning an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from deserted metal found in his community.
Phiri’s path to artistic recognition was filled with challenges. His childhood was marked by the loss of his father and his mother leaving him behind, making him under the care of his grandfather. While his grandfather provided for his basic education, Phiri faced financial struggles when he entered secondary school, forcing him to take on various jobs to fund his studies. Yet, despite these obstacles, his passion for art remained growing, and he dedicated his free time to drawing and crafting in the classroom.
Upon completing his education, Phiri sought to support himself by creating wire animal sculptures (雕塑品), which he sold to tourists. It was during this period that his exceptional talent caught the attention of Karen Beattie, the director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit organization committed to education and economic development in central Africa.
Teaming up with local welder (焊接工) Moses Mbewe in 2017, Phiri contributed to the creation of a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa during the rainy season. Impressed by his work, Beattie presented Phiri with a challenge: to create art from abandoned waste metal. Undiscouraged, Phiri embraced the opportunity, transforming
forgotten keys, broken bike chains, and old metal bottles into attracting abstract animal sculptures, including elephants, cranes, giraffes, and monkeys.
Today, Phiri’s artistic pursuits continue to flourish as he transforms deserted junk into striking sculptures showcased at the Project Luangwa headquarters. His talent has earned recognition and admiration from the community, fueling his dreams of pursuing formal art education at t《2024年高考英语名校二模真题三轮冲刺训练》 (源自九省全国通用)

(2024·安徽·三模)Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where What Nigeria I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper
accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

(2024·云南·二模)Jack, a clinical nurse specialist, retied on his 65th birthday. He told his wife, Sally, he would “start out as an adventure cyclist.”
Four months later, he set off on a 13, 000 km cycle ride from Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia to Edinburgh, much of it roughly shadowing Marco Polo’s Silk Road.

(2024·吉林·三模)It wasn’t until after I graduated from college, and realized that there’s no such thing as all-encompassing (包罗万象) knowledge, that I was able to read for pleasure. A sense of curiosity directed me and I started to see dictionaries as field guides to the life of language. Looking up words felt less like a failing than an admission that there are lots of things I don’t know and an opportunity to discover just how many.
I prize my 1954 copy of Webster’s New International Dictionary, Second Edition. I often consult it, during evening games of Scrabble or midday magazine reading. When I come across unfamiliar words while reading novels, I look them up. When I start encountering these words elsewhere, the linguistic (语言的) universe seems to shrink to the size of a small town.
Dictionaries heighten my senses: They direct my attention into a conversation with language. They make me wonder what other things I’m blind to because I haven’t taught myself to notice them yet. Recently spotted examples include orrery, “a mechanical model, usually clockwork, devised to represent the motions of the moon and Earth (and sometimes also other planets) around the sun.” The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) also tells me that the word comes from the fourth Earl of Orrery, for whom a copy of the first machine was made, around 1700. Useful Obviously not. Satisfying Deeply.
Wikipedia and Google answer questions with more questions, opening up pages you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain complex ones. Using one feels as if I’m prying open an oyster (蚝) rather than falling down a rabbit hole. Why leave solvable mysteries up to guesswork
For me, dictionaries are a door into that kind of uncalculated knowledge-seeking. They remind me that following your curiosity instead of brushing it aside is one of the best ways I know to feel connected to more than what’s right in front of you.
13.What can we know about the author
A.He merely read for fun before graduation.
B.He longed to learn about all knowledge.
C.He considered dictionaries chances of enrichment.
D.He admitted being a failure when learning languages.
14.Why does the author mention the example of orrery in paragraph 3
A.To introduce a word. B.To indicate a finding.
C.To clarify a concept. D.To support a statement.
15.What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Encountering new problems. B.Entering a different world.
C.Acquiring essential common sense. D.Simplifying tough questions.
16.According to the passage, which of the following can best describe dictionaries
A.Jaw-dropping. B.Eye-opening. C.Mind-numbing. D.Labour-saving.
(2024·吉林长春·三模)I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me.
So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to.
Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen.
I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.
These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing.
17.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.The author didn’t believe in e-mail.

(2024·河南开封·二模)Despite an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of students in large lecture hall, Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A&M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science.
Known as “Dr. Tatiana”, the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm in her videos. A range of everyday objects are used in her experiments, from pingpong balls and toilet paper to marshmallows, bicycle wheels and hair dryers. Videos of her dramatic demonstrations have received hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms.
However, things aren’t always easy. When she first started teaching college freshman classes two decades ago, she also struggled to grab the attention of her students. “I did not grab their attention on the first day-that was my mistake.” she says. “I missed this opportunity to bond with them from the very beginning, and then it took me a while to find my voice.”
By the second semester, she found her footing, adjusting her approach to get her students engaged. The key, she says, has been to make herself approachable and her instruction personal. And, of course, add showy demonstrations. “These demonstrations often help students to connect these abstract concepts with real life.” she says.
Physics department head Grigory Rogachev says Erukhimova’s work has helped bring visibility to the department, with about 2. 5 million subscribers on its department’s YouTube page, which has translated to a boost in research funds and physics major applicants.
As a leader in a STEM field in which women are underrepresented, she’s become a role model for some. Afiya Dhanani attended Texas A&M University after seeing Erukhimova’s videos online. “Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader. Was more inspiring for me to even go into physics.” Dhanani said in an interview with CBS Mornings. That’s all Erakhimova says she can hope for -making physics less forbidding and more exciting.
21.What does Erukhimova’s online videos feature
A.Rare materials. B.Energetic presentation.
C.Plain demonstration. D.Professional explanation.
22.Which saying explains Erukhimova’s initial failure to grab students’ attention 20 years ago
A.All that glitters is not gold.
B.Sharp tools make good work.
C.First impressions are make or break.
D.A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
23.How does Erukhimova’s work contribute to the physics department
A.It leads more students to change their majors.
B.It makes more people to know about the department.
C.It helps the department translate more research papers.
D.It attracts more physics professors to join the department.
24.Which word best describes Erukhimova as a leader in a STEM field
A.Inspirational. B.Underestimated. C.Cooperative. D.Ambitious.
(2024·河南信阳·二模)When you picture doing a science project, you might imagine looking through a microscope or building a model volcano. But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve.
Elizabeth, 14, who is in seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C, designed a program. Her method is based on the golden ratio (比例). This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly (均匀地) across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer.
“As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person,” Elizabeth says, “In fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” But last year, Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in information storage, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio technique by running programs on a computer.
But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing programs is such a boring process. But it was just exciting to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.”
“Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.”
25.What can we learn about science projects according to this passage
A.They can come from different hobbies. B.They will inspire teens to find solutions.
C.They need skills in building models. D.They may involve great imagination.
26.What is Elizabeth’s programming used for
A.Strengthening memories. B.Storing information.
C.Creating fine works. D.Protecting nature.
27.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A.Imagination is the source of creation. B.Laugh it off when facing difficulties.
C.Well begun is half done. D.Every effort will pay off.
28.What is Elizabeth doing with her words in the last paragraph
A.Expressing doubts. B.Making promises.
C.Offering advice. D.Giving response.
(2024·安徽淮北·一模)My earliest reading memory takes me back to being five years old, sitting in my grandfather’s cozy study. He would read to me from his French-translated copy of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. I was so familiar with the stories that I could correct him word-for-word if he tried to change something.
Growing up, my favorite book was Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes. It was a treasure for an imaginative and lonely child like me. The book was filled with magical elements: a magical carousel, monsters, and the charming scent of autumn leaves lying in the sun. The language was as crisp and sweet as an October apple, awakening in me a deep passion for words and the magic they could bring out. I’ve reread it regularly and it never fails to satisfy me.
In my adult years, I revisited Emily Bront ’s Wuthering Heights. When I first read it at 16, I perceived it as a love story. However, rereading it as an adult, I was struck by how different it seemed to me, and how much of the humour I’d missed. Now I love its poetry. And the love story not only exists between the characters but between Bront and the North York Moors.
James Joyce’s Ulysses was a book I came back to after 40 years. Initially, at 15, I found it ugly, depressing, and dull, and I hated it. It took me four decades to return to it, and this time, I found myself understanding and beginning to appreciate it. I could see the details, the mythic parallels, the references to different writing styles, and the groundbreaking technique.
Though some exceptional books can develop and grow alongside us, others fall by the wayside. I’ve revisited so many childhood favourites only to find the magic gone, but I’m usually happy to leave the book behind. I’ve taken from it what I need.
29.What was the author’s earliest reading memory
A.Copying the stories of Rudyard Kipling.
B.Reading Something Wicked This Way Comes.
C.Studying Ulysses for writing styles.
D.Listening to The Jungle Book in French.
30.Which part of Wuthering Heights gave the author a different feeling as an adult
A.The complex plot. B.The characters.
C.The humour and poetry. D.The love story.
31.What do the underlined words “fall by the wayside” in the last paragraph mean
A.Remain unchanged over years. B.Lose their original attraction.
C.Gain widespread popularity. D.Are left by the side of the road.
32.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.The Changing Power of Reading
B.The Development of Reading Taste
C.The Lifelong Journey of Rereading Classics
D.The Childhood Memories in Reading Habits
(2024·安徽·二模)In a gray box, I have a thick pile of love letters. I imagine about sharing them with a granddaughter when I’m 90. But my most treasured love letter is from one of my best friends. It’s a handwritten letter years ago when I was having trouble getting over a man. Her letter is the most romantic in my pile. It made no excuses. It simply let me know that I was loved.
Reflecting on her gift, and the dying art of handwritten letters in our age of emails and emoticons, I chose to conduct an experiment this Christmas: replacing presents with heartfelt, handwritten love letters for my family members.
In our digital era, most of us rarely take the time to share deeply considered thoughts and emotions with the people in our lives. Handwriting captures the writer’s emotions, often preserved longer than digital exchanges. However, technology is taking over. First came typewriters and keyboards. Now a new brain-computer lets people type with their minds. What are we losing when we sacrifice the physical labor behind the written word We tend to value what we struggle for. Have we undervalued the human exchange of ideas
That day, I came across a letter my mom wrote to her parents when she was young. She seemed so comfortable with her parents. It was a relationship I didn’t have with her. I was inspired by my mother’s letter to her parents
when I sat down to write my letter to her. I wanted her to know my love, and to close the crack that technology and culture had created between us. With each sentence, I was discovering new and deeper ways of seeing my mother, and making myself known to her in more thoughtful ways as well.
Eight single-space pages later, my hand was aching but I was done. It was only the first of my love letters, but it was already clear: What had begun as a fun project was in fact one of the most important undertakings of my life.

34.How will technology probably affect us in the digital age
A.Making our interaction less emotional. B.Encouraging our thoughtful communication.
C.Saving our physical labor in conveying emotions. D.Increasing our effort in handwritten exchanges.
35.Why did the author handwrite a letter to her mother
A.To give her mother a big surprise. B.To answer her mother’s handwritten letter.
C.To bridge a communication gap. D.To make her mother feel more comfortable.
36.What did the author learn from her experiment

(2024·安徽池州·二模)In 1999, Giuliana Furci, founder and founding director of the Fungi (真菌) Foundation, developed a deep interest in fungi. They were everywhere, and the 20-year-old took particular joy in the variety of mushrooms: small and button-shaped; tall and umbrella-like; round with red caps topped with white flakes. Some were commonly found in people’s diets, for they were rich in nutrients such as vitamin, fiber, minerals and protein.
But Furci also quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignored in Chile, where there were few guidebooks and an almost total lack of policies and resources to protect them from over-harvesting and other human activities. Determined to correct this, Furci wrote a field guide and set up the Fungi Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to fungi conservation. In her guide, special attention went to the role of fungi in the ecosystem.
“Life on the planet wouldn’t exist without fungi,” said Greg Mueller, a mushroom conservation expert. “Because of their relationship with forests and trees, we can’t survive without fungi. In terms of the health of the planet, they’re incredibly important to humans and the overall ecosystem.” Fungi can break down plants and animals, thus cycling nutrients and increasing their availability in the soil. They are also important contributors to the soil
carbon stock through the same process. What’s more, fungi have been found to help degrade (降解) various pollutants, such as plastic. And mycelium (菌丝体), which is the root structure of mushrooms, is now being used to replace unsustainable materials, such as plastic and animal-based products.
Because of these, exploration of fungi was expanded at a faster pace. However, some were already listed as critically endangered. In 2010, Furci took an even bigger step—with other environmental nonprofits, she put forward a proposal for the government to systematically assess how large new developments such as housing, dams, and highways affect fungi. In 2012, a law was passed and Chile became the first country in the world to protect fungi by law.

(2024·重庆·二模)What’s the truth of joy I was obsessed with this question when I was young. However,ever since I started my own family, this quest has been buried under my workloads and daily chores.
In 2008, Memorial Day weekend promised to deliver beautiful weather—not always the case at that time of year, so I decided to spend that Saturday shopping and do one big cleaning, starting with the garage. Our two-car
garage, as always, was full of stuff. Boxes piled one on top of another, bikes crossed together. A garden hose (软水管) sat in a corner. We had to turn sideways when getting in and out. I planned to pull everything out on the driveway, hose down the entire garage, and after it was dry, put everything back more organized.
With the morning moving along, the possibility to finish the cleaning within the day began to look less and less likely. I recalled how I had been feeling discontented lately while taking care of our stuff. Here was yet another time!Then my neighbor June, who was working in her yard, heard my sigh and said jokingly, “The joy of home ownership, huh That’s why my daughter keeps telling me I don’t need to own all this stuff.”
I don’t need to own all this stuff.
As I turned to look at the fruits of my morning labor, I began to recognize the source of my feelings for the first time. It was piled up in my driveway. As I surveyed the pile I made, the answer to the obsolete (被遗忘的) question came to light: There is more joy to be found in possessing less than we can ever find possessing more.
I ran inside the house and found my wife upstairs cleaning the bathtub. Still trying to catch my breath, tI said, “Kim, you’ll never guess what just happened. June said we don’t need to own all this stuff!”

(2024·重庆·二模)Baseball was everything to Walker Smallwood. But when he was just 14 years old, he got heartbreaking news that he had a rare form of bone cancer growing in his left leg. His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays.
The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option. “At the time I
guess I was just kind of in denial, because my whole life, day in and day out, was built around baseball and sports,” Walker said. “It was pretty disastrous,” his mom, Pam said. The most the 17-year-old would be able to do is play catch with his teammates as they warmed up for their games.
As the team approached the final game of the season, Walker’s parents and coach agreed that he could pitch (投球) for an inning (一局) or two for the old time’s sake.
“Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened,” Walker said.
What ended up happening was more than anyone ever expected. Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened. Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process.
“I was in tears, most of the stands were in tears — just one of those special moments that we’ll cherish forever,” mom Pam said. Smallwood may never play again. He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.

(2024·广西柳州·三模)It’s been 20 years since a cookbook changed my life. Before reading every page in Nigella Lawson’s Feast, I didn’t give much thought lo what I ate. Cooking was a boring task I wasn’t particularly good at. Moreover, fear of calories and not being able to fit into my jeans left little room for enjoying things like
“chocolate cake”. Nigella, the author of Nigella Lawson’s Feast transformed my relationship with food, changing it from a source of panic to one of limitless pleasure. Leafing through the pages of Feast, I began to think of the women who shaped my cooking. They not only influenced me strongly with their words, recipes and passion for the art of eating, but they also left their mark on the culinary (烹饪的) world.
Take Eugénie Brazier, for example, who grew up with barely enough to eat yet with plenty of determination to achieve great things. After years of hard work on farms and later as a humble cook, she used the little savings she had to open La Mère Brazier, a restaurant that would attract the likes of celebrities. A second location followed, and in 1933, she became the first chef ever to hold six Michelin stars simultaneously (同时地). Known as the mother of modern French cooking, Brazier’s simple yet elegant food changed the way Britain ate.
What Brazier did for the UK, the passionate Julia Child did for America. At a time when TV dinners and tinned foods were gaining popularity, she inspired home cooks to try elegant recipes, teaching them about the use of quality ingredients in an approachable way.
While Julia Child tempted us with her recipes, it was the American author Fisher who enlightened us with her fine cooking prose (散文). In her brilliant essays, she praised the pleasures of the table and explored connections between food and culture. One of my favorite books is Love in a Dish, a charming collection of culinary experiences that transport you to French villages and even describe how the love of food can potentially save a marriage!
49.How does the author introduce the topic
A.By giving examples. B.By raising a question.

51.What do Fisher’s works focus on
A.The ingredients of food. B.The story behind food.
C.The significance of food. D.The origin of food.
52.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A.To motivate readers to cook at home. B.To market high-quality cooking books.
C.To honor some exceptional women cooks. D.To share his passion for cooking.
(2024·山西·二模)Frederick Phiri, known as the junk-art king of Zambia, set out on a remarkable journey at the age of 22 when he began earning an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant
sculptures from deserted metal found in his community.
Phiri’s path to artistic recognition was filled with challenges. His childhood was marked by the loss of his father and his mother leaving him behind, making him under the care of his grandfather. While his grandfather provided for his basic education, Phiri faced financial struggles when he entered secondary school, forcing him to take on various jobs to fund his studies. Yet, despite these obstacles, his passion for art remained growing, and he dedicated his free time to drawing and crafting in the classroom.
Upon completing his education, Phiri sought to support himself by creating wire animal sculptures (雕塑品), which he sold to tourists. It was during this period that his exceptional talent caught the attention of Karen Beattie, the director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit organization committed to education and economic development in central Africa.
Teaming up with local welder (焊接工) Moses Mbewe in 2017, Phiri contributed to the creation of a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa during the rainy season. Impressed by his work, Beattie presented Phiri with a challenge: to create art from abandoned waste metal. Undiscouraged, Phiri embraced the opportunity, transforming forgotten keys, broken bike chains, and old metal bottles into attracting abstract animal sculptures, including elephants, cranes, giraffes, and monkeys.
Today, Phiri’s artistic pursuits continue to flourish as he transforms deserted junk into striking sculptures showcased at the Project Luangwa headquarters. His talent has earned recognition and admiration from the community, fueling his dreams of pursuing formal art education at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and creating even more magnificent sculptures in the future. Through creativity and determination, Phiri has turned adversity (逆境) into artistic success, leaving a lasting impact on Zambia’s art scene.

(2024·辽宁辽阳·二模)A grey-headed flying fox is back gliding through the night after life-saving surgery on a broken wing. The female flying fox’s wing was badly injured when it was twisted in a net placed over fruit trees in Geelong, Victoria. It was rescued and taken to Werribee Open Range Zoo’s veterinary hospital where it needed two operations to repair the wing.
Paul Eden, doctor of the hospital, said, “The flying fox was in a very serious condition when it arrived.” Flying foxes are highly dependent on their wings for many purposes. They can fly an astonishing 6,000 km in a year to search for food and pollinate a wide range of plants. They also use their wings to help capture insects, regulate body temperature and attract other flying foxes during mating season, So, it was extremely important that we did everything we could to help this animal make a full recovery. Vets operated to remove some of the flying fox’s damaged wing tissue and also gave it antibiotics (抗生素) and pain relief medication.
Following the successful procedure, the flying fox was transferred to a wildlife carer to prepare it for release back into where it belonged. Dr Eden said, “It is very rewarding to see the flying fox recover fully and safely return home.” According to researchers from Werribee Open Range Zoo, flying foxes played a critical role in Australia’s ecosystem, not only for the survival of other native animals but also humans. Our ecosystem would be dramatically different without flying foxes.
Dr Eden noted that there were some simple actions people could take to keep flying foxes safe, including reducing the risk of twisting by using nets with a size no bigger than 5 mm×5 mm when fully stretched over vegetable gardens or fruit trees. “If you encounter a flying fox that is sick or in distress, for the safety of everyone, don’t attempt to rescue the animal yourself. Instead, contact Wildlife Victoria who will send a trained officer to rescue the animal,” Dr Eden said.
57.How did the flying fox get injured in the wing
A.It was stuck in the net. B.It was hit by the fruits.
C.It was hunted while flying. D.It was twisted in the branches.
58.What is paragraph 2 intended to do
A.Analyse the reason. B.Draw a conclusion.
C.Present a problem. D.Add some backgrounds.
59.How will the flying fox be dealt with after recovery
A.It will be raised in a reserve. B.It will be adopted by D Eden.
C.It will be set free back to nature. D.It will be tended in a wildlife carer.
60.What did Dr Eden advise us to do while coming across an injured flying fox
A.Rescue it on the spot. B.Seek professional aid.
C.Send it to Wildlife Victoria in person. D.Drive it to hospital as soon as possible
(2024·辽宁大连·一模)I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mailbox, because my mother never believed in email or cell phones. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how her weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for a girl of my age.
So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of. I wrote those same kinds of letters like my mother for strangers, and slipped them all over the city. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised if asked for a hand-written letter, I would write one.
Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak — a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in Kansas, a 22-year-old immigrant, all asking me to write them and gave them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how I initiated a global organization, fueled by those trips to the mailbox.
It is awesome. In fact, the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people who have grownup into a paperless world where some best conversations happen on a screen. We have learned to record our pain on to Facebook, and we speak swiftly in 140 characters or less.
But it’s not about efficiency. And I could tell you about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) by his war experiences in Afghanistan and isolated himself, and her love letters slipped throughout the house eventually got him back to her. Or a man, who decides to take his own life, finally sleeps soundly with a stack of letters from strangers slipped beneath his pillow.
The scare the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed even in these days, because it is an art now.

(2024·贵州·二模)Djukic is a biology and chemistry student at John Carroll University. She never thought that one day she would be in a classroom where an English teacher asked her to play a board game in order to learn about climate change.
Debra Rosenthal is the professor of the class. At first, Djukic said she was uncertain about Rosenthal’s board game idea. “I was just like: ‘this is interesting, but how much are we actually going to take away from it ”
Rosenthal thought her students would gain a greater understanding about how their own ideas and experiences affect climate change. Students do not compete against each other. They work together to choose the best plan of action. The game is different from board games such as Monopoly, where the goal is to win. Rosenthal said she hoped the games would give students a chance to talk about climate change in a new way.
“By playing the games, it’s a way to be social, to engage in conversation. There has to be a lot of energy around the table. It’s very collaborative. And in the game that I chose to play, they really were able to work together and try to come up with a solution so that the planet was not destroyed.”
During the class, she said, students laughed, disagreed and had to call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward in the game. Djukic said it was a “way to have fun...while also learning about such a serious subject.”
The games are global, Djukic said. That is because she and her classmates said they were able to see how one player’s decision about agriculture affected another player on the other side of the world.
She said the games showed her that “in the game of climate change and the climate crisis, no individual wins.” “It’s either we all suffer from this, or we all somehow collaborate to work our way out of this and turn the clock back on climate change.”
65.What is the purpose of Rosenthal’s class arrangement
A.To inspire the competition among students.
B.To entertain the students with the board game.
C.To stress the damage caused by climate change.
D.To encourage student’s viewpoints about climate change.
66.Which best describes the board game according to paragraph 4
A.Cooperative B.Competitive C.Creative D.Exclusive
67.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A.Agriculture is of vital importance to the world.
B.The world is a community of shared future.
C.Man with strong will can conquer nature.
D.Climate change is a tough problem to solve.
68.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Climate change calls for teamwork.
B.Climate change leads to global impact.
C.A board game helps students understand climate issues.
D.A good teacher gives students lifelong benefits.
