1．（2025?昌黎县校级三模） Only a few adventurous individuals sailed the seas，drove wagons，or rode horses，and the majority of people throughout human history have relied on their own two feet for transportation，moving one step at a time.Perhaps that's why retired The Wall Street Journal reporter and cancer survivor Neil King decided to take a journey to explore a small part of America's rich history，seeking to rediscover its roots.
"I was off to do something that was very pure and basic，"Neil said， "just to notice things and immerse myself in a walk through one spring that had kind of cleansed my eyes in some ways，or my spirit."
It seemed appropriate to start the journey into America's past in Washington，D.C."This is the front yard，the nation's front yard，"Neil said."It just seemed like the perfect place to start this walk."Then Neil crossed the Mason﹣Dixon Line，which runs through the middle of a 19th﹣century farm.In York，he walked through a cemetery（公墓），where some volunteers were cleaning up and honoring unsung heroes.In Pennsylvania，he stopped for an afternoon to socialize with some locals.
"On the road，I met so many great people that I almost felt were put there by some higher power to interact with me，"Neil said."And indeed，are we not the offspring（后代） of a power greater than，ourselves，the power of community？"
Meanwhile，the health benefits of walking are obvious：increased cardio capacity，deeper breathing that energizes the lung，and power to almost every muscle in the body.On another level，moving through the small details of lives intertwined with history and emotion gives him a sense of what we can accomplish.
Neil said， "Finally，I think the walk，despite all the gloomy thoughts that can arise from various episodes in our history and past，unexpectedly filled me with a more constructive expectation for what's to come.

3．（2025?包河区校级模拟） A cancer survivor，artist Nico Cathcart understood the anxiety patients experienced as they walked past the concrete wall leading into VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center at the adult outpatient pavilion（门诊馆）.Consequently，she said yes last year when asked to paint a mural（壁画） on that very wall."Everyone who walks through those doors is dealing with something heavy，" said Cathcart，who finished the mural in late November."I hope it gives them lightness.Cancer is tough，but it can't take away hope."

In the 12﹣foot﹣by﹣30﹣foot mural，the viewer appears to be looking up from a field of flowers at a bird flying above with a purple ribbon in its mouth."It's my attempt of bringing a positive message of upward motion to those who're looking at it，"Cathcart said."The mural's purple ribbon symbolizes all cancer，"said Shockley，manager of arts in health care at VCU Health，adding，"the work of art is lively and hopeful."
While all of her murals are special in their own way，Cathcart said the mural at Massey will always have an extra special place in her heart."I was a bit sad finishing it，"she said."I enjoyed the company of the staff and talking to fellow patients quite a bit.The piece will always be connected personally to my own journey in a way my others might not be."

Jean﹣Georges was supposed to take over his family's coal business，but a great mealon his 16th birthday at Auberge de I'lll changed his mind.His dad jokingly told the head chef to hire Jean﹣Georges as a dishwasher，and soon he turned into a top helper in the kitchen.

Today，with over 60 restaurants worldwide，Jean﹣Georges' business includes farm﹣to﹣table dining and Michelin﹣recommended restaurants.His philosophy is simple：source the right ingredients，develop talent，and stay connected to the community."What's important is that it's only food，" he says.

5．（2025?浙江模拟） During a family vacation，in a small，charming bookstore，I discovered Gone with the Wind（《飘》）.The book's slightly worn cover and its enticing title，hinting at a tale set against the dramatic backdrop of the American Civil War and Reconstruction，immediately drew me in，as I had always been fascinated by the historical significance of that era.
Excited，I began reading，only to find that the novel was not as easy to get through as I had anticipated.The complex sentences，extensive vocabulary，and the Southern dialect of the characters posed a real challenge to my comprehension.There were numerous moments when I had to read paragraphs over and over again just to get the basic meaning.The book's considerable length also seemed like a huge obstacle，making me doubt whether I would ever reach the end.
Yet，despite these difficulties，I was determined to continue.My curiosity about what would happen to the characters and my resolve not to give up on such a famous literary work kept me going.I adopted a more strategic approach to reading.I set aside a specific time each day，free from any distractions，for reading.With a dictionary at hand to look up unfamiliar words and a notebook to jot down key plot points and character details，I gradually started to make progress.
As I got further into the story，I found myself becoming more and more absorbed in the lives of Scarlett O'Hara，Rhett Butler，and the other characters.Scarlett's tenacity and determination in the face of hardship，even though her actions were often selfish and reckless，filled me with admiration.Rhett's charm and wit were captivating，but his hidden sadness and vulnerability made him a more complex and relatable character.The detailed descriptions of Tara，the O'Hara family plantation，painted a vivid picture of a bygone era，beautiful yet tragic.Through the characters' trials and tribulations，I began to see parallels with my own experiences.Just as they dealt with war，loss，and rebuilding，I had my own set of challenges to overcome and lessons to learn.
By the time I finally reached the last page of Gone with the Wind，I was filled with a deep sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.The journey had been tough，but it had also been incredibly rewarding.I had not only managed to finish a challenging read but had also gained a deeper understanding of history，human nature，and myself.My experience with Gone with the Wind taught me the value of perseverance and the rewards that come from stepping out of one's comfort zone.It reminded me that even the most difficult journeys can lead to significant growth and discovery.

6．（2025?广西模拟） "Whatever the mind can conceive （构思） and believe，it can achieve." Would you agree with the statement that a dream is born from an idea —a simple idea in the mind？Back in the 19th century，two brothers had an idea which eventually became their passionate and consuming dream.Their insistent pursuit of that dream was rewarded with an achievement that changed world travel.
On December 17，1903，the Wright brothers （Wilbur and Orville） achieved their dream.They flew the world's first power﹣driven and heavier﹣than﹣air machine.This memorable feat took place at Kitty Hawk，North Carolina on a cold windy morning.
The dream started with an idea that was planted in their minds by a toy given to them by their father.In the words of the boys， "Late in the autumn of 1878，our father came into the house one evening with some object partly hid in his hands，and before we could see what it was，he threw it into the air.Instead of falling to the floor，as we expected，it flew across the room till it struck the ceiling，where it flew a while，and finally sank to the floor." This simple toy made of bamboo and stretched rubber bands fascinated the Wright brothers and sparked their lifelong interest in human flight.
The Wright brothers were great thinkers.They enjoyed learning new things.Initially，they recycled broken parts to build a printing press and opened their own printing office.Their interest moved to bicycles and in 1893，they opened the Wright Cycle Company where they sold and repaired bicycles.But Wilbur （the older brother） had his mind set on something more exciting.He decided to seriously pursue flying.

7．（2025?腾冲市校级模拟） A while back，I met a capybara （水豚） named Pisuke in Tokyo.I sat on a couch next to him，stroking his straw﹣like fur and the pinkish skin beneath，thick as sailcloth.His ears looked like mushrooms，twitching occasionally.I scratched under his chin，and he half﹣closed his eyes. "How is this animal even real？" a friend asked after I showed her a selfie.My connection to them predates the internet craze.
The capybara's unreality is partly why it has such a strong fan community.The past years have seen the rise of capybara on TikTok and Instagram.If you've followed them on social media，you might know they get hiccups，carry large oranges on their heads，and allow birds to clean their fur.After my half hour with Pisuke，I felt immersed in a deep well﹣being.Time flowed differently，and my vision softened.The world felt pure and unaggressive.We were all living our lives as the giant creature that never meant anybody any harm.
In a world of conflict，instability，and fast﹣paced culture，people seek comfort and peace.It's led them to the meditative，wholesome faces of the capybara.
"One misconception is that they're so cool，" Somma said.The capybara is a predator （捕食者） in its native habitat，with predator reactions，especially when cornered for humans hunt them for meat and skin.To avoid scaring it，I squatted and moved toward it slowly.Its flightiness reminded me of childhood bullying，my constant need to find an exit when surrounded by overly enthusiastic people.I realized the capybara represent a dilemma I knew too well：a friendly creature always afraid of attack.Do we love them because we，too，feel trapped in a world that encourages hyper﹣socializing yet rewards us with existential anxiety？
I asked Somma why people like me are drawn to capybaras. "They're sweet animals，" she said. "You can connect with them without physical contact." I was astonished by how well the writers and directors portrayed the capybara in the film：mostly sleeping，eating grass，and getting along with other animals.When scared，it withdrew.An unlikely hero，but a perfect one for our times.

8．（2025?黄梅县校级模拟） Point Nemo，located between Chile and New Zealand，is 2，688 kilometres away from the closest land point.It was named by Croatian survey engineer Hrvoje Lukatela，who was studying ocean currents at the time.He named the point after Captain Nemo from Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
There is no set way to get there，given its inaccessibility.But that didn't stop British explorer Chris Brown，who completed his feat（壮举） earlier this month."Having considered several different ways of getting to Point Nemo，we hit on the idea of using an expedition（探险） boat called the Hanse Explore."
Brown set sail "in the early hours"of March 12，and expected it to take 10 days to reach Point Nemo.He said the crew was "immediately thrust into our first South Pacific storm" and reported fast winds and "six﹣metre waves".
Brown said that going through the storm was inevitable（不可避免的）."One of the reasons for setting off when we did，instead of waiting out the storm，was the forecast for conditions at Point Nemo.Captain Andriy Bratash spotted that there was a weather window at the Pole which would allow us to use the Zodiac RIBs（a smaller boat） and to possibly get into the water If we were late arriving，Nemo would be in the center of a hurricane force storm."
After 10 days，and 4，200 km，Brown and the crew arrived.At that stage，waves had "only"started to reach 3 metres in height，Brown said.This meant the crew were able to launch the Zodiacs and be in the water﹣the first person in recorded history able to do so.
"At all the other Poles of Inaccessibility I've visited，I've taken a photo standing at the exact spot.That wasn't going to be possible this time.So，I came up with the idea of 'floating' at the Pole and holding the maritime flags spelling out the word N，.E.M.O，"Brown said.

B.A fictional captain.

9．（2025?河南模拟） If I had been asked a few years ago how I felt about exercise，I would have said that while I had a gym membership card，working out basically consisted of walking on the treadmill（跑步机） for fifteen minutes，pretending to know what I was doing with a few of the machines and weights for another fifteen minutes，and then making my escape.
This changed when life challenges forced me to seek exercise for stress relief.Recognizing my need for accountability，I joined a gym run by Adria，who became both my strict trainer and friend.
I anticipated that being my friend meant she'd let me relax if I just didn't feel like attending a class，but that wasn't the case—none of my excuses worked on her.If I didn't show up，I would get a text asking， "What is your workout plan for this week？" She would not let me out of the commitment I made no matter how many times I tried.Before long，I noticed physical and emotional improvements in myself，and I began to look forward to going to the gym.
One day，Adria mentioned she was tired from managing her gym alone and needed a day off.I sympathized with her but was shocked when the next thing out of her mouth was "Anna，I wish you would get certified because you are the only one I'd trust with the keys".I shook my head，knowing that was impossible.Me？A trainer？
However，I couldn't get her words out of my head.Weeks later，I secretly signed up for a fitness instructor course.Each time complex content and self﹣doubt attempted to push me to give up，I would recall Adria's texts—I chose to make a commitment and follow through.
When I eventually walked into Adria's gym for my work as a trainer and saw my certification on the wall，Adria said， "I'm so proud of you." "I should be proud of having a friend like you，" I responded.

10．（2025?吕梁三模） Living in the Canadian Rockies offers me many chances to enjoy quietness and explore nature.Just an hour outside the city，I can find myself in the wilderness，far from cellphone signals and other people.This wild area is home to various animals，including coyotes （丛林狼） and wolves.I have a dog named Yuni，who is a Finnish Lapphund，a breed （品种） from northern Scandinavia.My ancestors，on the other hand，came from southern Scandinavia.
Winter in the Rockies starts early，with snow often falling by autumn.While Yuni and I enjoy the summer warmth，we both love the winter.Yuni，born for cold climates，feels at home in the snow.During our winter walks，I notice the visual beauty of the landscape，while Yuni relies more on his sense of smell.Sometimes，we see wolf tracks next to Yuni's，and though we've never seen a wolf up close，we often hear their howls （长嚎） nearby.
Cultural stories often describe wolves as dangerous，and some locals warn me that Yuni and I could be in danger.However，Yuni shows no fear.His breed was developed to protect reindeer from predators （捕食性动物）.This makes me think about the long history of humans and dogs living together.
The relationship between humans and dogs goes back tens of thousands of years.While scientists debate the exact details about dog﹣wolf relationship，it's clear that dogs and wolves share a common ancestor.Today，the differences between wolves and dogs are more than just genetic （基因的）.For example，humans and Neanderthals were very similar genetically，but they were still different species.Some researchers believe that humans survived the Ice Age because they formed close bonds with early dogs，while Neanderthals did not.
Living in the Rockies with Yuni gets me thinking about my existence and how everything in the world gets where they are now.
（1）What is the author's life in the Canadian Rockies like？ 　 　
A.Boring.

C.Dangerous.
D.Undisturbed.

A.Many wolf species didn't survive the Ice Age.
B.Neanderthals were an ancient human﹣like species.
C.Scientists have detailed evidence for dog﹣wolf relationship.
D.Humans have kept pet dogs for tens of thousands of years.
（4）What conclusion can be drawn from the text？

D.Living in the wilderness benefits mental health.
11．（2025?河北模拟） "There is no way I can live out of a suitcase!"I thought as we packed up our home in Venice，Italy.At fourteen years old，I couldn't imagine leaving my friends，school，and all my"stuff""behind to travel the world full﹣time with my family.That was when my mom had the idea of dropping everything to travel the world and create a deeper connection between family members.Although I absolutely loved the idea of traveling the world freely，I couldn't imagine leaving my life behind.
To my surprise，during the travel，we have learned the most important moments are when we live happy moments with our family and friends.As we travel，we barely carry anything with us except the essential things like clothes，a laptop，notebooks，and toiletries（洗漱用品）.We each carry a backpack and all five of us share two suitcases for clothes.After buying new souvenirs or new clothes，we give some of our old outfits away to people in need and it makes us so happy to be able to give back wherever we can.
At the beginning，it was difficult for us to get used to never having a closet（衣橱），constantly changing hotel rooms，and never fully unpacking before we were back on the road.But over time we have learned to appreciate the value of having less﹣the freedom to live for experiences and the joy of traveling "light"in mind，body，and spirit.Many of the wonderful new friends we have made on our journey have opened our eyes to how lucky we are.We have met families in many parts of the world who live in small homes with no running water，yet they always have huge smiles and are willing to share with us.
We now know that experiences and memories are the most valuable things in life and that they can only be acquired when we let go of our need for possessions and focus on what really matters in life﹣enjoying our lives each day with the people we love.

C.The family used to place too much emphasis on wealth.
D.Material possessions should not be our ultimate goal.
12．（2025?襄城区校级一模） Last summer at a bookstore，my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown's middle﹣grade trilogy （三部曲）.He then finished it in just two days. "Dad，why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad？" He tearfully asked me.
The story is set on a remote island，where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island's creatures，and becomes part of the community.For my son，it was the first book he discovered on his own；the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy and joy.
When I finished the book，I knew why Henry loved it.In our book club discussion，he described how Brown's pictures and words had made the story feel real.When talking about its final scenes，where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body，Henry cried again.His previous reading experiences had cheerful， "happily﹣ever﹣after" endings，but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions.I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments，but failed to fully convince him.
Once our discussion ended，Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it.He read the first two books repeatedly，so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait.Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat： "the poison tide." Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas﹣ not just happiness and sadness，but also，given the climate﹣change undercurrents，hope and despair.
And，here's something special about Roz：her physical clumsiness and confusion about life，conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth.Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place，much like a child's journey.Readers love Roz.They learn from her.Even better，they learn alongside her.Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book's sad parts，getting him ready to appreciate that，sometimes，sadness isn't a bad thing to feel.
（1）What made the author read The Wild Robot？ 　 　
A.Its tragic ending.
B.Its attractive cover.

13．（2025?黑龙江模拟） By my early 40s，I had exhausted all the hobbies supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age.At the height of my 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 when trying to stretch my leg.Also，my track record for committing to physical activity wasn't great.
But I was determined to give it a try.I needed confirmation that my body was capable of movement and grace.
Before leaving the house for my first ballet class for adults，I hadn't expected any of it to stick.But this time，the exact same things that had made me flee the studio as a 10﹣year﹣old now brought a certain joy.
When I expressed disappointment with my lack of grace in practising simple acts，my teacher reminded me ballet isn't about perfection.Rather，it's about striving for perfection.As a writer arguing sentences all day hoping they will approach the beautiful，perfect construct in her mind，this felt like the best，most fierce writing advice.
Slowly，I felt more comfortable with the body I saw staring back at me in the mirror.And the idea that my body is still a work in progress encourages me.If anything，ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body.As for the imperfections？They're part of being alive.
Eight years into my ballet classes，I'm a lifelong advanced beginner.Recently，my teacher taught us a beginner﹣appropriate version of the Rose Adagio from Sleeping Beauty.As I stood in my living room，balancing shakily and dancing for nobody but myself，I felt every inch a ballerina.

Jessie Joy Rees is just such a person.The blonde﹣haired，California kid with the big personality as fun as a day at the beach became the voice of courage for kids with cancer.Athletic and energetic，Jessie had her whole world in front of her，until she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor（肿瘤） in2011.Doctors estimated that she had just 1% chance of survival and less than a year to live.With no other treatment options，her family entered Jessie for a clinical trial.For weeks she underwent 30 rounds of radiotherapy.Amazingly，the pain and uncertainty never lessened her shine，and Jessie always remained positive throughout it all.

Since Heslop joined the program in 2020，University of Michigan's wheelchair basketball team became part of the NWBA's Division Ⅱ.After leading the team to an 8th﹣place finish at the NWBA Nationals in April 2022，Heslop participated in the US Men's

16．（2025?仁寿县校级三模） One Saturday last November，I stepped into my local library.I was about to read a book when I heard an elderly man speak to a lady. "This library will soon become a café.Everyone is reading with electronic devices，" he said.Hearing this，I wanted to shout， "I still read library books!" But my words stuck in my throat and I found teenagers around me were talking to friends or staring at their phones.
Reading online feels robotic to me.It's like I stare at a screen and click "next" for the following page to appear until the very end of the e﹣book，and at the end of all of that，I just think， "That's it？" But when I read a printed book，it's like I'm holding on to the characters.I can imagine the plot better，as I can picture the scenes of each moment in my head with more accuracy and imagination.
Besides，some online books miss components （组成部分） that are in the printed novels.For instance，the physical copy of a fantasy novel I have read contains a map，but the e﹣book version does not.That is an injustice to e﹣book users；after reading and understanding the map，the story made a lot more sense for me，in terms of the setting and plot.
And personally，physically turning to the next page is better than clicking "next".When reading online，I sometimes worry that I click "next" too quickly.It feels more like a race；I want to finish it because the pages just keep making that "flipping" sound and I wonder how long the book really is.
Some printed books have a special smell that makes the novel feel special to me.It's hard to describe but I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks so.I know I cannot convince every teen to switch from the digital book to the printed one，but maybe my writing about the difference will at least get some of them to think about it.
（1）Why will the library be replaced by a café？ 　 　
A．Few people head for it.
B．It lacks good management.
C．Few people read its books.
D．It holds little attraction for the youth.
（2）Why does the author prefer printed books according to paragraph 2？ 　 　
A．They include additional contents.
B．They leave a lively impression.
C．They have a special pleasant smell.
D．They can improve readers' imagination.
（3）What influence does reading online have on the author？ 　 　
A．Making her tired of reading.
B．Leading her to read aimlessly.
C．Bringing more fun to her.
D．Stopping her digging into reading.
（4）What is the author's purpose of writing this text？ 　 　
A．To inspire teenagers' interest in reading.
B．To show advantages of printed books.
C．To reduce the impact of electronic devices.
D．To encourage teens to change the reading medium.

18．（2025?德州三模） In this fast﹣paced world，quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen.For those suffering from the inability to switch off and reconnect with themselves，Deborah Alma，a poet，may have just what the doctor ordered.She founded the Poetry Pharmacy，which aims to ease worry with words，allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for personalized advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves.
Deborah has long used poetry as a tool for good.After graduating with a degree in creative writing，she worked with dementia（失智） patients in a nursing home，reading and composing poems for them.One day，while doing her routine work，she spotted an old ambulance，which kickstarted an idea﹣she could bring poetry to more people in need.Thus，the Emergency Poet was born，witnessing Deborah travelling the country to offer guidance.
In 2019，Deborah transitioned from her mobile practice to a fixed location in Shropshire.Despite the initial feedback that her idea was unrealistic﹣investors doubted the business model，potential customers were hesitant to embrace the unconventional concept of poetry as therapy（疗法），and even local authorities were unsure how to categorize and regulate such a unique establishment，Deborah stood her ground.She kept offering one﹣on﹣one poetry consultations herself，thoughtfully picking out and recommending poems that matched each visitor's specific emotional state.She also put effort into making the shop feel homely and welcoming，and carefully selected poetry books on display.The Pharmacy has gone from strength to strength，being awarded Regional Independent Bookshop of the Year in 2024，managing to convince people of its value.
Deborah is certain that the practice of the Poetry Pharmacy will grow more popular with time.She may be right：In early 2025，the American Medical Association agreed to include poems and related interpretations in their publication，based on studies showing that poetry can comfort patients and healthcare providers.Deborah said，"The next chapter is bound to be a good one!"

19．（2025?渝水区校级模拟） UK﹣based artist and environmentalist Sophie Green paints remarkable stories of wildlife.Green is famous for her very realistic animal paintings.Her style is almost like a photograph and shows the vulnerability（脆弱）of nature.The artist pictures the beauty，and brightness of animals such as chimpanzees（黑猩猩），penguins，and many other species at risk of extinction.
"This is not a celebration of nature，"says Green of her most recent collection，Commodlities."This collection is wildlife lacking of both"wild' and"life".It is a big fire，shining a light on the strange and entitled way that humans have forever used nature and wildlife for our own benefit.Hunting，racing，fighting，breeding，eating，wearing，training.The greed is never﹣ending."
In one painting from the collection，Temperance，a large chimpanzee sits on a black pedestal（基座）.With its left hand reaching across its chest，holding tightly onto the muscle in the upper right ar，the animal fearlessly addresses the viewer.Green painted the chimpanee's wrinkles and shiny eyes，which makes people think about the connection between humans and nature.
Commodities connects people with different animals through the angle of conservation，as the artist beautifully pictures the reality of life in the wild.Each brushstroke of the chimpanaee is intentional，as Green aims to capture the sensational characteristics of animals.
Green dedicates herself to the well﹣being and long life of nature's ecological landscape，challenging others to do the same.In Temperance and the paintings of Commodities，Green guides viewers to address the strained relationship humans have with the natural world.
Her devotion to nature doesn't stop with her artistic achievements.She focuses on the combination of art and charity，as 10% of her profits pour into wildlife and conservation charities.Green also pursues other avenues of activism，such as her online commerce site Art Basket，cooperation with the Jane Goodall Institute UK，and the IFAW International Youth Art Contest.Her work serves as a reminder of the beauty and vulnerability of the world we live in.

20．（2025?涪城区校级模拟） I once found myself in the darkest valley of my life.Gossip and rumors，like a storm of arrows，rained down upon me from all directions.They struck me mercilessly，leaving invisible wounds that bled with every passing day.My world，once filled with the vibrant colors of hope and joy，was now painted in the bleak shades of despair and confusion.I felt as if I were trapped in a labyrinth，with no exit in sight，and every turn leading to another dead end of self﹣doubt and fear.
During those tormenting days，I sought solace in the most unexpected of places﹣the pages of classical literature.I remember the first time I opened a renowned classic，its words seemed to whisper to me in a language both ancient and familiar.As I delved deeper into the text，I was amazed to find that the struggles of the characters mirrored my own in many ways.They too had faced trials and tribulations，had been misunderstood and judged by others，yet they had found the strength to persevere.
One particular novel left an indelible mark on my soul.The protagonist，a woman of great depth and resilience，faced a scandal that threatened to ruin her reputation and life.But instead of succumbing to despair，she retreated into her inner world，using her intellect and wisdom to navigate through the storm.Her journey was fraught with pain and uncertainty，yet she emerged stronger and more self﹣assured than before.
Reading this story was like holding a mirror up to my own life.I began to see that the gossip and rumors were not a reflection of who I truly was.They were merely the shadows cast by the fear and ignorance of others.I realized that my worth was not defined by the words of others，but by the substance of my character and the integrity of my actions.
As I continued to immerse myself in the world of literature，I discovered valuable lessons about life and human nature.I learned that suffering，though painful，could be a catalyst for growth and transformation.The characters in the books showed me that even in the darkest of times，there was always a glimmer of hope，a spark of light waiting to be fanned into a flame.
Gradually，I started to rebuild my life，one step at a time.I drew strength from the resilience of the literary figures I had come to admire.I learned to value my own thoughts and feelings，to trust in my own judgment，and to rise above the noise of gossip and judgments.
This experience taught me an invaluable lesson about life.It showed me that during our darkest moments，when the world seems to have turned its back on us，the greatest source of strength and wisdom can be found within ourselves and in the timeless wisdom of great literature.The journey from despair to self﹣discovery is not an easy one，but it is a journey worth taking，for it leads us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the true meaning of life.And in the end，it is this understanding that allows us to emerge from the shadows and walk once again in the light，with our heads held high and our hearts filled with renewed hope and purpose.

1．（2025?昌黎县校级三模） Only a few adventurous individuals sailed the seas，drove wagons，or rode horses，and the majority of people throughout human history have relied on their own two feet for transportation，moving one step at a time.Perhaps that's why retired The Wall Street Journal reporter and cancer survivor Neil King decided to take a journey to explore a small part of America's rich history，seeking to rediscover its roots.
"I was off to do something that was very pure and basic，"Neil said， "just to notice things and immerse myself in a walk through one spring that had kind of cleansed my eyes in some ways，or my spirit."
It seemed appropriate to start the journey into America's past in Washington，D.C."This is the front yard，the nation's front yard，"Neil said."It just seemed like the perfect place to start this walk."Then Neil crossed the Mason﹣Dixon Line，which runs through the middle of a 19th﹣century farm.In York，he walked through a cemetery（公墓），where some volunteers were cleaning up and honoring unsung heroes.In Pennsylvania，he stopped for an afternoon to socialize with some locals.
"On the road，I met so many great people that I almost felt were put there by some higher power to interact with me，"Neil said."And indeed，are we not the offspring（后代） of a power greater than，ourselves，the power of community？"
Meanwhile，the health benefits of walking are obvious：increased cardio capacity，deeper breathing that energizes the lung，and power to almost every muscle in the body.On another level，moving through the small details of lives intertwined with history and emotion gives him a sense of what we can accomplish.
Neil said， "Finally，I think the walk，despite all the gloomy thoughts that can arise from various episodes in our history and past，unexpectedly filled me with a more constructive expectation for what's to come.

【答案】CACC
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了《华尔街日报》的退休记者、癌症幸存者Neil King决定踏上一段旅程，以探索美国丰富历史的一小部分，寻求重新发现其根源，他选择了步行作为旅行方式，并分享了他在旅途中的所见所感。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段Only a few adventurous individuals sailed the seas，drove wagons，or rode horses，and the majority of people throughout human history have relied on their own two feet for transportation，moving one step at a time.Perhaps that's why retired The Wall Street Journal reporter and cancer survivor Neil King decided to take a journey to explore a small part of America's rich history，seeking to rediscover its roots.（只有少数喜欢冒险的人在海上航行、驾驶马车或骑马，而人类历史上的大多数人都依靠自己的双脚进行运输，一步一步地移动。也许这就是为什么退休的《华尔街日报》记者、癌症幸存者尼尔?金决定踏上旅程，探索美国丰富历史的一小部分，寻求重新发现其根源。）和第二段 "I was off to do something that was very pure and basic，"Neil said， "just to notice things and immerse myself in a walk through one spring that had kind of cleansed my eyes in some ways，or my spirit."（尼尔说："我去做一些非常纯粹和基本的事情，只是为了注意到一些事情，让自己沉浸在一个春天的散步中，这个春天在某种程度上净化了我的眼睛或精神。"）可知，Neil King开始这段旅程的初衷是寻找精神上的净化和历史的洞察力，故选C。
（2）段落大意题。根据第三段It seemed appropriate to start the journey into America's past in Washington，D.C. 'This is the front yard，the nation's front yard，' Neil said. 'It just seemed like the perfect place to start this walk.' Then Neil crossed the Mason﹣Dixon Line，which runs through the middle of a 19th﹣century farm.In York，he walked through a cemetery （公墓），where some volunteers were cleaning up and honoring unsung heroes.In Pennsylvania，he stopped for an afternoon to socialize with some locals. （从华盛顿特区开始美国的历史之旅似乎是合适的。'这里是前院，国家的前院，' Neil说。'这似乎是开始这次散步的最佳地点。'然后尼尔穿过梅森﹣迪克森线，这条线穿过一座19世纪的农场。在约克郡，他走过一个墓地，一些志愿者正在那里清理和纪念无名英雄。在宾夕法尼亚州，他花了一个下午的时间与一些当地人交往。）可知，本段讲述Neil从华盛顿出发，穿越Mason﹣Dixon线，参观公墓，与当地人互动等经历。全段围绕他的步行经历展开，故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据第五段Meanwhile，the health benefits of walking are obvious：increased cardio capacity，deeper breathing that energizes the lung，and power to almost every muscle in the body.On another level，moving through the small details of lives intertwined with history and emotion gives him a sense of what we can accomplish（与此同时，步行对健康的好处是显而易见的：增加心肺功能，加深呼吸，为肺部提供能量，并为身体几乎每一块肌肉提供能量。在另一个层面上，通过与历史和情感交织在一起的生活细节，让他了解我们能取得什么成就。）说明健康是额外收获，而非主要目的，步行的健康益处帮助他实现探索目标，故选C。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段Neil said， 'Finally，I think the walk，despite all the gloomy thoughts that can arise from various episodes in our history and past，unexpectedly filled me with a more constructive expectation for what's to come'. （Neil说："最后，我认为，尽管我们的历史和过去的各种事件可能会引发所有悲观的想法，但这次散步出乎意料地让我对未来充满了更积极的期待。"）可知，Neil的话表明这次旅行使他对未来更有希望，故选C。
