A
（2025·北京东城区三模）
By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an impro class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. And then, at the height of my lowgrade desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.
“But you’ re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly injured myself the one time I tried to lift my leg onto our bathroom vanity in an attempt to stretch. But I was determined to give it a try. I needed confirmation that my body was capable of movement and grace.
I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. But this time around, the exact same things that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain joy. The repetitive nature of exercises at the barre. The fact that my every move invited my teacher’s critical dissection.
And though I’d expected my classes to be physically demanding and my muscles to ache, I hadn’t anticipated that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world.
When I was depressed for my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act of pointing and extending my foot to the side in a tendu, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about striving for perfection.
Eight years into my ballet classes, I am finally a ballerina at the tender age of 50, though not the kind that anybody would pay money to see on stage. Why do I continue Because when I do my almost daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible.
Recently, my teacher taught us a watered-down, beginner-appropriate version of the Rose Adagio choreography from Sleeping Beauty. As I stood in my living room, dancing for nobody but myself, I felt every inch a ballerina.
1. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. It’s never too old to learn.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
D. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
B
（2025·北京卷）
Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements Or will they see the big word “fail” in red The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us.
My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged.
Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning.
Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself.
This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little.
2. What can we learn from this passage
A. Everyone is the maker of their own success.
B. Success favours those with a golden heart.
C. Success knocks at your door only once.
D. A college holds the key to success.

（2025·天津河东区二模）
Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about their neighbor Jeff Dunan’s volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign. However, a credit card notification alerted him to an unintended$15, 041 charge.
When he saw the five-figure number, he was confused. Soon, it all made sense. Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box.
Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1, 500.
Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said.
Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120, 000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks — about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3, 700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.”
3. What message does the story convey
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Always prepare for a rainy day.
D. A good beginning is half of victory.

答案与解析：
一、阅读理解
1. A 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中的“By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an impro class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. And then, at the height of my lowgrade desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.”可知，年过四十，我尝试了各种据说能缓解中年焦虑的爱好，却始终兴致索然。我上过即兴表演课，学过新语言，还给了瑜伽第二次机会。后来，在一种淡淡的绝望感驱使下，我决定报名参加芭蕾舞班；根据第六段中的“Eight years into my ballet classes, I am finally a ballerina at the tender age of 50.”可知，上了八年芭蕾舞课，我终于在50岁这个年纪成为了一名芭蕾舞演员。由此可知，作者通过讲述自己从中年开始学习芭蕾，并最终在50岁时有所收获的故事，体现了学习不受年龄限制这一道理。故A项“It’s never too old to learn.(活到老，学到老)”能概括文章主旨。故选A项。
2. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She was able to earn about half the usual amount of money by selling her oysters to the program. That was better than nothing.”可知，保护计划为Calvo的养殖企业提供了销售“丑陋的”牡蛎的机会，通过向该计划出售牡蛎，她能够赚取大约一半的钱。 因此，C项“Half a loaf is better than no bread（半片面包胜过没有）”最能描述 该计划对Calvo养殖企业的帮助。故选C项。
3. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，文章讲述了迈克尔的一个无意之举，通过在社交媒体上分享，引发了众多人的关注和捐款，最终为孟加拉国救济组织筹集到了大量资金，体现了众人拾柴火焰高（Many hands make light work.）的道理。故选B项。
二、书面表达
参考范文：
A meaningful activity at the Animal Shelter
Last weekend, I volunteered at the animal shelter in our city. I started by cleaning the animals’ cages and feeding them. After that, I spent time playing with the cats and dogs, which helped them feel less lonely.
As the saying goes, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This volunteer work might seem small, but it is a significant start in making a difference to these lovely creatures. I truly believe that “Success favours those with a golden heart.” My experience there made me feel warm-hearted, and I am eager to volunteer more to bring hope to these animals.
