Ⅰ.阅读理解(共12小题；每小题2.5分，满分30分)
A
(2025·山东聊城高三期中) From my earliest years, my mother was determined to surround me with books. She began giving me my own Disney Book of the Month Club subscription when I was only a 3-year-old boy. We lived on a dead-end road in a small rural town with no other kids with whom I could play, so books were my closest companions and I developed a deep love for them.
I consumed each book then immediately searched for the next. A glass display cabinet (陈列柜) in our living room held a wide range of treasures: My earliest chapter book gift was a black leather edition of The Complete Edgar Allan Poe Tales that my father gave me to feed my love of scary stones. I was fascinated by Edgar Allan Poe and he was likely the influence for the thrilling Black Cat Adventures that I penned in my third-grade class. The shelf also held my treasured collection of James Herriot stones, a hardcover edition with photographs and pencil illustrations.
In elementary school, the librarian, Mrs. Dudek, always accompanied me as I worked my way up and down the rows of options, taking her time to recommend books she thought were just right. Sometime during sixth grade. I almost finished reading our small library's supply. Then one weekend. Mrs, Dudek showed me a pile of books put away behind her chair. She explained that she needed to decide whether these books were more appropriate for the elementary or middle school shelves and asked me for my help in making that decision. I was thrilled with the weight of this adult responsibility.
Each week, Mrs. Dudek gave me a book to read. Once I had finished, we'd meet and talk about its content and my recommendation as to its final destination, which she considered respectfully. These exchanges electrified me, not only because she valued my opinion but also because, for the first time, I was talking about books with another person. This filled me with a new, unfamiliar feeling—one that I pursue even now.
1．Which best describes the author's relationship with books when he was young？(　　)
A．Inseparable. B．Indifferent. C．Cooperative. D．Unstable.
答案：A　
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“We lived on a dead end road in a small rural town with no other kids with whom I could play, so books were my closest companions and I developed a deep love for them.”可知，作者没有其他孩子可以一起玩，书籍成为了他最亲密的伙伴，并且他深深地爱上了它们。A选项“Inseparable不可分离的”最能描述作者小时候与书籍的关系。故选A。
2．Why was the glass display cabinet mentioned in Paragraph 2？(　　)
A．To show off his family treasure.
B．To illustrate his love for books.
C．To introduce some famous writers.
D．To recommend highly-rated works.

解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“I consumed each book then immediately searched for the next.”以及“A glass display cabinet(陈列柜) in our living room held a wide range of treasures: My earliest chapter book gift was a black leather edition of The Complete Edgar Allan Poe Tales that my father gave me to feed my love of scary stones. I was fascinated by Edgar Allan Poe and he was likely the influence for the thrilling Black Cat Adventures that I penned in my third grade class.”可知，作者家的玻璃陈列柜里摆放着作者珍爱的书籍收藏，这些都是作者热爱的书籍。因此，提到玻璃陈列柜是为了说明作者对书籍的热爱。故选B。
3．How did the author feel when Mrs. Dudek asked him to help classify books？(　　)
A．Alarmed. B．Trusted. C．Bored. D．Stressed.
答案：B　
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“She explained that she needed to decide whether these books were more appropriate for the elementary or middle school shelves and asked me for my help in making that decision. I was thrilled with the weight of this adult responsibility.”可知，当Mrs. Dudek需要决定是否一些书籍更适合小学还是中学的书架，并请求作者帮助她做出决定的时候，作者感到激动，因为这是成年人的责任。因此，当Mrs. Dudek让作者帮忙分类书籍时，作者感到被信任。故选B。
4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？(　　)
A．The author encountered an electric shock.
B．The author never felt being respected before.
C．Mrs. Dudek had a deep influence on the author.
D．Mrs. Dudek was inconvincible in book discussions.
答案：C　
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，Mrs. Dudek每周给作者一本书读，并和他讨论书籍内容和建议，这让作者感到兴奋，并且让他有了与另一个人谈论书籍的新感觉，这种感觉他一直追求到现在。因此，可以推断出Mrs. Dudek对作者产生了深远的影响。故选C。
B
(2025·广州毕业班冲刺训练题) You are what you think. Whatever you are doing right now is determined by your thinking. All your emotions and desires are influenced by your thinking. The problem is that when you are not aware of your thinking，you have no chance of correcting it if it is poor. When thinking is subconscious，you are in no position to see any problems in it. And，if you don't see any problems in it，you won't be motivated to change it. What's worse，few people realize the powerful role that thinking plays in their lives，so they don't gain significant command of it. As a result，most people are in many ways victims of their thinking.
Consider your success as a student. The single most significant variable in determining your success as a student is the quality of your thinking. Your instructors will play a role in your learning，but even the best teachers cannot get into your head and learn for you. If you lack the intellectual skills necessary for thinking well through course content，you will not be successful in school.
Here is the key question we are putting to you in this book. If the quality of a person's thinking is the single most significant determinant of both happiness and success，why not take the time to learn from the best thinkers
This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin to emulate them，and take control of your destiny as a thinker. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids，helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking.
This book，as a whole，introduces you to the tools of mind that will help you reason well through various challenges you face. If you take these ideas seriously and practice using them，you can improve the quality of your thinking and ultimately，the quality of your life.
5．Why do many people lack motivation to change their poor thinking (　　)
A．They are victims of emotions.
B．They are unaware of the need.
C．They think highly of themselves.
D．They lack the academic guidance.
答案：B　
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The problem is that when you are not aware of your thinking，you have no chance of correcting it if it is poor ...you won't be motivated to change it.”可知，很多人缺乏动力改变他们糟糕的思考方式是因为他们没有意识到这种需要。故选B。
6．What plays the most crucial role in school success (　　)
A．The course content.
B．The school environment.
C．The commitment of teachers.
D．The quality of an individual's thinking.
答案：D　
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句和“If you lack the intellectual skills necessary for thinking well through course content，you will not be successful in school.”可知，个人思考的品质是其在学校的成功中起着最关键的作用。故选D。
7．What does the underlined word “emulate” mean in Paragraph 4 (　　)
A．Make friends with. B．Win over.
C．Follow the example of. D．Look up to.
答案：C　
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中的“This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin”以及下文中的“and take control of your destiny as a thinker”可知，这本书将告诉你最优秀的思考者使用的方法，并将说明你可以用来以他们为榜样进行的活动和练习，从而控制你作为思考者的命运。故画线词的意思应是“模仿，效仿”。 follow the example of“以……为榜样”；look up to“钦佩，仰慕，尊敬”。故选C。
8．The book is organized according to ________. (　　)
A．types of life challenges B．varieties of thinking tools
C．determinants of life value D．ideas of different thinkers
答案：B　
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids，helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking.”可知，每一章都侧重于这些思考辅助方法的不同方面，帮助你发现自己思维的力量和系统思考自己思维的潜力。由此可推知，这本书是根据思维工具的多样性组织的。故选B。
C
(2025·重庆第一次联合考试) We tend to think of large cities as melting pots—places where people from various backgrounds can socialize and interact. However, according to a new research, people in big cities tend to primarily interact with other individuals of the same socioeconomic status, whereas people in small cities and rural areas are much more likely to have diverse interactions.
Researchers led by Stanford University used GPS data collected from 9.6 million cellphones across 382 metropolitan (大都市的) areas in the USA to determine how many times people had the opportunity to interact, even briefly, with someone in a different income bracket (阶层). The massive and precise data allowed the researchers to find that people living in the 10 most populous metropolitan areas, including cities like New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago, along with their surrounding areas, were significantly less likely to interact with people of different socioeconomic status than people in areas with fewer residents.
“There's a large variety of choices in big cities. In New York, you can spend $10 on a dinner or $1，000 on a dinner, but if you live in a place with only one diner, everyone goes there, rich or poor. That seems to be the main mechanism for this phenomenon，” explained Jure Leskovec, a professor of computer science.
Fortunately, there are large cities that have managed to promote diverse interactions because the centers people visit the most—which turn out to be shopping malls, squares, and similar places—are between rich and poor neighborhoods. Those centers allow people to see each other and interact.
By providing a better understanding of how the location of public infrastructure (基础设施) can affect socioeconomic mixing, the researchers hope their work will assist urban planners in building cities that live up to the promise of promoting diverse interactions.
9．What might be a conclusion of the new research？(　　)
A．Large cities act as melting pots.
B．Urban residents interact more.
C．Big cities display socioeconomic separation.
D．Urbanization results in different social ranks.
答案：C　
解析：推理判断题。由文章第一段中“However, according to a new research, people in big cities tend to primarily interact with other individuals of the same socioeconomic status, whereas people in small cities and rural areas are much more likely to have diverse interactions.”以及第二段中“The massive and precise data allowed the researchers to find that people living in the 10 most populous metropolitan areas, including cities like New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago, along with their surrounding areas, were significantly less likely to interact with people of different socioeconomic status than people in areas with fewer residents.”可知，新研究发现，大城市的人往往主要与具有相同社会经济地位的其他人互动，而与不同社会经济地位的人互动的可能性要小得多。从而显示出社会经济分层。故选C。
10．How was the research carried out？(　　)
A．By bridging the income brackets.
B．By studying the frequency of interaction.
C．By comparing residents' behavior patterns.
D．By collecting data on people's social status.
答案：B　
解析：细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Researchers led by Stanford University used GPS data collected from 9.6 million cellphones across 382 metropolitan (大都市的) areas in the USA to determine how many times people had the opportunity to interact, even briefly, with someone in a different income bracket(阶层).”可知，这项研究是通过研究人们互动的频率来进行的。故选B。
11．What does the underlined word “mechanism” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？(　　)
A．Principle. B．Solution. C．Measure. D．Function.
答案：A　
解析：词义猜测题。由文章第三段中“$1，000 on a dinner, but if you live in a place with only one diner, everyone goes there, rich or poor. That seems to be the main mechanism for this phenomenon”可知，这里指大城市有很多选择，这就是会出现社会经济分层的“原则或者理由”。所以猜测mechanism表“原则或者理由”的意思。故选A。
12．What might be the solution to the problem according to the text？(　　)
A．Organizing activities involving rich and poor people.
B．Building similar infrastructure in different neighborhoods.
C．Placing frequently-visited centers between neighborhoods.
D．Establishing more convenient centers for different people.
答案：C　
解析：推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Fortunately, there are large cities that have managed to promote diverse interactions because the centers people visit the most—which turn out to be shopping malls, squares, and similar places—are between rich and poor neighborhoods. Those centers allow people to see each other and interact.”可知，在社区之间放置经常光顾的中心可能是解决问题的办法。故选C。

Apart from those, reading has another benefit. Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character's suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. 1(____)
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. 2(____) In addition, your brain thinks you are in the story, which means you experience the characters' thoughts as if they were real.
3(____) This skill, called Emotional Intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. Research shows that building this intelligence can lead to greater tolerance. One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).
This theory of EI has been put into practice in schools. After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael's High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization—Refugee Action. 4(____)
5(____) Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
A．In a way, all this increases our ability to read well.
B．This permits people to limit their emotions that others are feeling.
C．Many more areas of your brain light up when you're enjoying a story.
D．It also stimulated them to raise ￡1，000 for the homeless caused by war.
E．Reading encourages us to empathize with others, which could be beneficial.
F．Empathy helps you to read people's emotions and work out the best way to respond.
G．It helps you see into other people's hearts and can be learned through various stories.
1．答案：G　
解析：上文“Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character's suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character.”提到“共情”，结合诸选项信息可知，G选项“它可以帮助你看到别人的心，可以通过不同的故事来学习。”符合语境，该句就是对上文“empathy”进行说明和解释，“it”指代“empathy”，“stories”呼应上文“story”。故选G。
2．答案：C　
解析：根据本段首句“Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts.”可知，本段主要谈论人的大脑会根据不同的故事和事实产生不同的反应；C选项“当你在欣赏一个故事时，你的大脑会有更多的区域被激活。”也是谈论当人阅读时大脑的反应，符合语境。故选C。

解析：上文“After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael's High School were inspired to do a 10 mile walk for the non profit organization — Refugee Action.”进一步举例说明在读了《教室后面的男孩》这本书后，圣迈克尔高中的学生的反应，选项D也是在谈论反应：促使他们为因战乱而无家可归之人募集一千英镑，因而符合语境。故选D。
5．答案：E
