The boy in Troop506 has got an unusual high rank for someone of that age.Like many troops,506 sells popcorn each fall to raise money. In 2019,Jonathan watched as kids who'd made $1,800 or more in sales received a Lego set as a reward. "I really wanted that Lego set," he says.The next year, he earned his Lego set. But Troop 506 doesn't just give out Lego sets. Under its generous reward program,scouts receive a percentage of their sales in gift cards and cash points. Inspired, Jonathan spent the next few years developing some astonishing tricks for selling.Popcorn too expensive A simple donation would do. No cash Credit cards were acceptable. He set up in front of local stores,working 12 hours a day. He even struck a deal with a car dealer: In all his sales efforts, he'd wear a mask with the company's logo if the owner would buy popcorn for all his employees.Jonathan started pulling down jaw-dropping numbers. In 2021,he earned $46,193.75 in sales. He might have spent much on himself, but he had other ideas. The popcorn season closes in late November, and the holidays were on his mind—particularly the stories his father, Steve Kolk, had told him about his own days in foster(寄养)care.“They didn’t really have New Year,”Jonathan says. With $5,000, he could bring New Year to a lot of kids. He shifted from a big seller to a big spender, hand-selecting $5,000 worth of gifts for dozens of kids according to their personal details. Each present must be hand-wrapped. And no kid should get just one gift. If you weren't unwrapping at least two packages,you weren't getting the real New Year-morning experience that his father never had.The next year he strengthened his efforts,achieving a higher aim in sales and spending more on gifts. “It really makes me happy," he says, "the feeling that I'm making those kids happy on New Year.”( )1. What originally motivated Jonathan to sell more popcorn A. Making money for Lego sets.B. Being persuaded by scout kids.C.Desiring a toy he dreamed about.D.Receiving gift cards and cash points.( )2 What is paragraph 4 mainly about A.Challenges Jonathan met in sales.B. Help that the car dealer provided.C.Marketing strategies Jonathan used.D.The role the reward program played.( )3 Why did Jonathan turn into a big spender over New Year A.He hoped the kids could experience real New Year.B. His father suggested he should pay it forward.C. He had earned enough money to spend on gifts.D.A scout should do this during the popcorn closing season.( )4.Which of the following can best describe Jonathan A.Determined, caring. B.Generous, cautious.C.Confident, economical. D. Modest, optimistic.二、应用文写作(满分15分)情境创新:网络交友 [2025 陕西适应性检测] 假设你是李华。近期,你的美国朋友 Chris 给你发邮件阐述了他自己在网络交友过程中遇到的困惑,请你给他写一封邮件,对此提出建议。内容包括:1. 安全上网;2. 谨慎交友;3. 甄别网络信息。注意:1. 写作词数应为 80 个左右;2.请按如下格式作答。Dear Chris,_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours,Li Hua读后续写(满分25分)2025The Kids' TableJames was exhausted. Three families, including four kids under age six, crowded into his family's house for dinner.“James! James!” called a little voice. Oh no! Three-year-old Cara had found James’s hiding spot. James was just trying to catch his breath. All day, he’d been grabbed and bumped by little cousins who thought he was a climbing gym. Cara now leaped onto James’s back and held his neck tightly. James emerged in the kitchen where the adults were getting dinner ready.“OK, time to let go. You’re choking me,” James gasped as he set Cara on the floor. Suddenly, Mario, Dana and Kyle stormed into the kitchen, shouting. “I want a piggyback, too!” “No, it’s my turn!”Fortunately, Mom saved him. "No, it's not time to play with James! It's almost time for dinner. Go wash your hands."“Awww,” whined(哭嚷) the kids. Mom shooed(赶走) them out and then stroked James's hair,"No rest for the main attraction, eh "James ducked(躲避). He hated being treated like a little kid. He was almost as tall as his mom, after all. Mom handed him a stack of plastic plates. "Here, take these to the kids' table."The kids' table. He'd forgotten that he would be eating with the babies, separate from the adults. He hoped the kids would be too hungry to bother him. As soon as he set down the last plate, the kids charged back into the room. James sighed when Mom patted his shoulder. "Maybe you'd like to sit with the adults this year,"she said. "I saved you a place next to Dad. I'll sit at the kids' table."The adults' table! No screaming, no juice spilled on his lap, no dirty fingers stealing his bread. James sat next to his father, too happy to speak. The conversation around him centered on electric bills, how to repair a roof, and so on.注意:1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;2.请按如下格式作答。Yet, James just couldn't help but glance at the kids._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Seeing Mom struggling to handle the chaos, James went to the kids' table. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案2026届高考英语强化小测试阅读理解(共3小题;每小题2.5分,满分7.5分)1.B 理解具体信息 根据第一段中的“Individuals choosing a Medicare Advantage plan....size of the provider network, monthly costs, and coverage for services such as...vision services”可知,选择医疗保险优势计划的个人应考虑以下标准:提供者网络的规模、每月费用,以及对身体康复、救护车使用、牙科护理和视力服务等服务项目的覆盖情况。其中的 coverage for services 和选项 B 的 service range 是同义转换。故选 B 项。2 D 理解具体信息 读题 题目问“两家保险公司有什么共同之处?” A 项“拥有相同的星级”;B 项“第二次获得这个荣誉”;C 项“一级处方需要自费”;D 项“为华盛顿特区的居民提供服务”。两家保险公司分别提到了“Service area: Available in 49 states plus Washington, D. C., and Puerto Rico”和“Service area: Available in 48 states and Washington, D. C.”,所以它们都可以为华盛顿特区居民提供服务 故选 D 项3 B 推断 根据文章最后的“Click here to view the individual plans”并结合常识可知,文章来自某个网址。故选B项。二、七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)本文是说明文,主题语境是“人与社会”。文章介绍几种帮助人们欣赏现代艺术作品的技巧。[核心素养]语篇旨在培养考生的艺术欣赏能力,提升审美情趣。4.A 段尾句 + 代词指代 根据第二段首句可知,本段介绍的是要仔细观察现代艺术作品并理解艺术家的意图。空前提到现代艺术作品往往包含只有仔细观察才能发现的隐藏意义和象征,要留意艺术作品中使用的颜色、形状及神韵,结合段落主旨可知,空处内容应说明留意这些东西对理解艺术家意图的积极作用,故A项“它们都在艺术家要传达的信息中发挥着作用”符合语境。A项中的“They”与空前的“the colors, shapes, and textures(神韵)”间的指代关系是提示。5.D 段中句 + 代词指代 空前提到要了解创作艺术作品的艺术家,空后提到这将使你更深入地了解他们的作品及其创作背景,据此可知,空处应说明了解艺术家时的具体做法或行动,故D项“了解他们的背景、影响和创作过程”符合语境6.G 段中句+转折关系 解题步骤如下:①分析语境 寻线索 空前提到解读现代艺术是一个非常主观的过程,许多个人和文化因素会影响你的感知 和理解。空后举例说明众所周知,了解艺术作品的背景能提供重要线索,帮助你进行解 读。由此可知,空处内容应与上文构成转折关系,说明尽管对艺术的解读会受到个人、 文化等因素的影响,但还是有通用的方法可以助力你解读的。②对比选项 定答案 G项“然而,一些通用的原则可以指导你进行解 读”与空前内容形成转折,且能总领空 后内容,与 之衔接紧密,符合语境。7.F 段首句(段落主旨句) 空处位于段首,应是段落主旨句。根据空后内容可知,你需要在艺术作品中找到能让你产生共鸣的意义和重要性。这种联系是主观和具有个人特色的。要识别艺术作品在你内心唤起的情感、记忆或经历。由此可知,本段内容侧重于个人与作品之间的联系,故 F 项“此外,与艺术作品建立个人联系也很重要”符合语境。空后的“resonates with(引起共鸣) you”“This connection is subjective and personal”与 F 项中的“a personal connection to the artwork”的呼应关系是提示。8.B 段中句 解题步骤如下:①分析语境寻线索 空前是问句(但是如果你很难独自欣赏现代艺术作品,该怎么办),因此空处应是对该问句的回答。再结合空后提到的这些专业人士可以指导你如何欣赏艺术作品,理解它的意义等可知,空处应是在说向专业人士寻求帮助。②对比选项定答案 B项“寻求艺术顾问或咨询师的帮助”与前后文衔接紧密,符合语境。空后的"These professionals"与B项中的"an art advisor or consultant"相呼应;空后的"guide"“help”与B项中的"help"相呼应。三、完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)本文是记叙文,主题语境是“人与自然”。作者意外发现搁浅在海滩上的海豚,和其他人一起帮助它们回到深水区。语篇通过讲述人们合力救助海豚的故事,引导考生关爱动物,关注自然。9.A 上下文信息推断 根据上文可知人们团结协作拯救了16只海豚,结合下文中的“mud was packed around the dolphins...bellies(腹部)”可以推断海豚搁浅被困。stuck“动不了,卡住”;

which 引导非限制性定语从句,其中包括 whose 引导的修饰 parts of the world 的定语从句。此处表示农历遵循月亮盈亏的规律,被用来确定中国和世界上许多其他地方的节日,这些地方的文化与中国古代历史有关。分析 which 引导的从句可知,空前的 and 连接了该定语从句的两个谓语,即空处与 follows 并列,故空处应用一般现在时和第三人称单数。employ“运用”与 which(指代中国农历)是被动关系,应用被动语态。故填 is employed。28.with 介词 have something to do with 是固定短语,意为 “与……有关系”。故填 with。29.when 宾语从句 结构分析:提取空前内容主干 Farmers use the calendar to plan....,然后可判断出 plan 后缺宾语,因此空处在部分应为宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,宾语从句句子成分完整,因此空处应是在句中作状语;结合句意“中国许多地区的农民仍然使用这个日历来规划何时把种子种到地里以获得好收成”可知,空处在句中作时间状语,故填 when。30.dates 名词复数 on 是介词, 后跟名词、代词或动名词。date 既可以作名词,又可以作动词,结合空后 that 引导的定语从句可以判断,此处 date 是名词。date“日期,日子”是可数名词,空前无限定词,故用 dates。31.and 并列连词 在被认为幸运的日子里,情侣们举办他们的婚礼,年轻人们会搬家,世界各地的商人们会做出大大小小的财务决定。去掉状语和定语后,句子主干是 couples hold their weddings, young people move house 31 businessmen make financial decisions,空前空后部分的成分完整;根据语境可知,它们的含义是并列的。由此判断,空处用并列连词 and。32.biggest 形容词最高级 如果给的提示词是形容词,空前是 one of the,空后是名词,那么大多数情况下题目考查的是形容词的最高级形式,故填 biggest。33.to keep 动词不定式 无论你遵循哪个日历,请确保每年都标记这个日期。be sure to do sth. “一定/务必做某事”。2026届高考英语强化小测试(二)阅读理解+应用文写作+读后续写一、阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2.5分,满分10分)本文是一篇记叙文,主题语境是“人与社会”。文章主要介绍了 Jonathan Werner 是如何实现自我并且超越自我,积极投身于慈善活动的。1.C 理解具体信息 根据第二段第二句“In 2019, Jonathan watched as kids who'd made2.C 理解段落主旨要义 根据第四段内容可知,如果觉得爆米花太贵,纯粹的捐助也可以。如果没带现金,信用卡也是可以的。他把地点设在当地的商店门口,一天营业12个小时。他甚至和一个汽车经销商达成协议以卖出更多爆米花。所以可知该段主要讲述了为了把爆米花卖出去,Jonathan 使用的一些营销策略。故选 C 项。3.A 推断 根据第六段中的“They didn't really have New Year"“With $5,000... He shifted from a big seller to a big spender”和该段最后一句可推知,寄养中心的那些孩子们没有真正过过新年,Jonathan 决定拿出5 000美元给他们买礼物,让他们过一个真正的新年,故选A项。4.A 推断 根据第三段第一句话“The next year, he earned his Lego set"可知,接下来的那一年,他得到了他想要的乐高套装,这说明他是一个坚持实现目标的坚定的人;再根据第六段中的"hand-selecting $5、000 worth of gifts for dozens of kids according to their personal details”可知,Jonathan 拿出5000美元,根据寄养中心几十个孩子的个人特点给他们买礼物,这说明他是一个体贴的人。故选A项。二、应用文写作(满分15分)Dear Chris,Hearing you are facing some difficulties with online friendships,I am writing to offer some personal suggestions.Firstly,be cautious while surfing the Internet and don't share too much personal information with strangers.You can never be too careful when it comes to your privacy and security.

From his spot at the adults’ table, he could hear the commotion-kids bouncing in their seats, laughing, and shouting. Mario flung strawberry sauce everywhere, while Kyle reached over to grab a burger, causing Dana to spill juice all over herself. The chaotic blend of screams and shouts filled the air. Though James initially felt relieved to be free from the madness, a sense of responsibility began to tug at him as he watched the chaos unfold. Mom was unable to pay attention to everything at once.Seeing Mom struggling to handle the chaos, James went to the kids' table. He decided to bring some calm to the chaos. It might be wise to distract their attention.“Hey,everyone! Who wants a piggy back ride ” The little ones' eyes lit up, momentarily stopping their chatter. It worked! James promised to give them rides as soon as they finished their food. The children giggled and ate.James wasn't sure how he'd ended up back at the kids' table .He’d just felt needed somehow.
