[01]（24-25高一上·安徽芜湖·期末）My son used to play every team sport he could. Sometime around sixth grade, he noticed he wasn’t so good at playing most team sports as his teammates did, and he went from a boy who loved being with his friends and playing baseball or basketball for the love of it, to a very self-conscious child who felt like he wasn’t as good as he thought. It wasn’t long before he stopped joining any teams.
Of course, I encouraged him to be active, and tried to make him see the importance of still doing things he loved. I had always thought my kid would be involved in organized team sports through high school. And I’m glad I didn’t push him.
It wasn’t long before he started showing an interest in biking, so I helped him sign up for a bike-building course, which was more exciting for him than hitting a home run. He goes to work with his father during school vacations and during the weekends and is learning the plumbing (管道系统)trade. He isn’t winning awards. He doesn’t get credit or recognition and colleges won’t look at biking and plumbing the way they would if he were a talented basketball player, but I don’t care and neither does he. When our kids are in their element, that’s all that matters.
My son is much happier when he bikes with his father than he would be if I forced him to be on the basketball court and that’s what our kids will keep; that’s how they will figure out who they are. It’s okay if what excites them doesn’t match common expectations or can’t be measured by the score. And as parents, it’s okay if our kids aren’t going along with the crowd; we need to give them the time and space to figure out their passion on their own.
1．Why did the author’s son quit team sports?
A．Because he found it difficult to join his favorite team.
B．Because he couldn’t live up to the author’s expectation.
C．Because he thought that he was not as skillful as others.
D．Because he wanted to spend more time with his friends.
2．How did the author feel about his son’s decision?
A．Indifferent. B．Doubtful. C．Favorable. D．Critical.
3．How did the son become joyful again?
A．By following his heart. B．By doing a part-time job.
C．By escaping from sports. D．By getting some recognition.
4．What does the author suggest to parents?
A．Communicating with kids. B．Sparing some time for themselves.
C．Figuring out kids’ real strengths. D．Respecting kids’ individualities.

[02]（24-25高一上·安徽宿州·期末）I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road. I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism (新闻业).
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28,2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures.
1．What did the writer think of Paul’s travel plan at first?
A．Surprised. B．Frightened. C．Confused. D．Disappointed.
2．What can we learn about Paul from Paragraph 2?
A．He was Joseph Rock’s friend. B．He was a western journalist.
C．He came to China several times. D．He had a knowledge of China.
3．What does Paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul?
A．They set off in high spirits. B．They satisfied the locals’ curiosity.
C．They built bonds with people. D．They honored the ancestors.
4．What is the main purpose of the writer’s writing the text?
A．To share and reflect on a journey. B．To suggest a new way of travel.
C．To stress the importance of friendship. D．To introduce Chinese culture.

[03]（24-25高一上·安徽合肥·期末）In August 2020, a doctor told me that I have an anxiety disorder. But she didn’t seem too worried, so neither was I. I left with a sense of relief at having the great mystery of my mental health revealed, without the need for medication.
For the next nine months, I went on with my job and in a relationship that left me an anxious, isolated mess. I couldn’t sleep, and I wasn’t eating. The anxiety that ruled my life meant I couldn’t switch off. I felt alone in my misery.
By May 2021, my family decided it was time to take me away from London for a week of fishing in northeast Scotland. This meant days of tangled lines, grey skies, wind, rain and mud. For years, they had dragged me along on fishing trips until I was old enough to resist. Fishing always felt like failure to me because I just couldn’t do it. I wanted to be inside, reading a book, curled up on the sofa, rather than out in the cold and wet.
But this time was different. I found myself immersed in the gentle rhythm of casting the line and watching the fly move through the forest to different pools, a cup of coffee here and there, breaking for lunch with my family to enjoy the morning and being outside, willing the days to last longer.
On that final morning, after a week of fishing, I finally caught my first salmon(鲑鱼). I found myself close to tears. Catching that fish made me realize I had control over the way I felt. I have something now that gives me hope when life is at its most unbearable.
I still go fishing to this day. I also read, write, run, cook, swim, talk and laugh--but fishing is the thing that absorbs me most completely. In searching for silence, fishing is my complete companion.
1．Why did the author continue to work after he was told he had anxiety disorder?
A．The doctor’s words made him relieved. B．He felt he had a lot of work to do.
C．The author was used to staying up late. D．The author didn’t take his illness seriously.
2．Why didn’t the author resist his family dragging him to go fishing this time?
A．He couldn’t switch off his work. B．He was trapped in his illness.
C．He hoped to go fishing with his family. D．He didn’t think that fishing was a failure.
3．Why did the author hope the days would last longer?
A．He believed that he would catch his first fish.
B．The slow pace of life in Scotland healed his anxiety.
C．He began to appreciate the peaceful scenery in Scotland.
D．He realized the importance of company from his family.
4．What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs?
A．He needs some silence and stillness in his life. B．A person needs motivation from a success.
C．Only fishing can attract him completely. D．He enjoys being silent and lonely.

[04]（24-25高一上·河南许昌·期末）Growing up, I realized I wasn't as talkative as others within large groups of people. Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident.
They say confidence comes with time. But eight years into my HR (human resources) career (职业), I still found myself staying out of the limelight (公众注意的中心).
And then a colleague asked me if I was an introvert (内向的人). “No...?” I replied.
I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative.
Then he explained to me that introverts don’t know what to do when they’re around other people and need alone time to recharge.
Extroverts are the opposite.
And that was it. Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders.
I learned to accept my introverted nature and focused on what I enjoyed. As I began to connect with people one-on-one, I found it very meaningful. This encouraged me to explore how I could use my introversion to help others.
Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success.
1．What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A．The author’s interests. B．The author’s personality.
C．The author’s childhood life. D．The author’s social network.
2．Why did the author say to her colleague that she wasn’t an introvert?
A．She thought her colleague was laughing at her.
B．She didn’t want to admit that she liked people.
C．She had become talkative after working for eight years.
D．She had misunderstandings of what an introvert is like.
3．What effect did the author’s colleague’s words have on her?
A．She looked at herself positively. B．She decided to give up her HR career.
C．She developed an interest in people. D．She realized where her weaknesses lay.
4．What does the author mainly help people do by running Career Off Script?
A．Become extroverts. B．Make career choices.
C．Discover their strengths. D．Establish long friendships.

[05]（24-25高一上·广东·期末）Fang Jianze, a student of today’s Zhuhai College of Science and Technology, was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare disease at the. age of three, leaving his legs almost useless.
Up until he met his university professor, Fang Jianze always believed he would never be able to do anything on his own. In January 2020, when he put on his first diving suit and began his training, he found himself in a pool of emotions.

[06]（24-25高一上·广东广州·期末）My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever I walked down the street, had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to reach for my phone. Sliding into this habit was easy, but it was difficult to quit it.
Then the day came when I finally realized I had to make a change. Head down, eyes on my smartphone, I stepped into the road and a car shot past, nearly knocking me off my feet! At that very moment, I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my smartphone.
The first day was the hardest. I was used to checking the news and my friends’ social media updates every few minutes. I kept reaching for my pocket, for my smartphone that was not there. I felt empty and uneasy, as if I had missed something of value. I felt disconnected from everyone and everything.
It was scary. But then somehow I began to feel free. I finally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language. I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days. Best of all, I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera.
My offline relationships benefited as well. I went for a long walk with an old friend. Our wide-ranging conversation went so much deeper than brief texts ever could. With eyes no longer fixed on our phones, we had a chance to really enjoy staying with each other. I also made sure to spend more time with my parents. We went to the opera, played badminton, and visited museums. We had never felt closer to each other.
By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. Those seven days have given me a great appreciation for life beyond the screen. Life beyond smartphones is richer and more beautiful, and I am going to take advantage of it.

[07]（24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末）My parents bought a house in Verona, New Jersey, in 1946 when I was 5. My sister, Merry, was born two years later. Our house was set far back from the road. It felt safe and adventurous with a big back yard and suburban wildlife. The main attraction for me, by far, was the massive tree in the front yard, which rose higher than I could see. We called it Old Oak. An arborist (树艺师) who checked Old Oak for my parents after the snowstorm of 1947 had pronounced it 300 years old.
Playing beneath Old Oak, my best friend, Justine, and I made toy horses. From Old Oak’s lowest branch, my dad hung a wooden board on a chain for a swing. The back-and-forth motion of the swing and rhythmic clicking of the chain comforted me. I’d lie under the green umbrella, admiring Old Oak’s height — my protector. Time passed. I was swinging less under the tree and more on the dance floor. Long after my father sold the house, Merry and I visited Old Oak when attending Verona High reunions.
Justine called last October. A new owner had bought the property and taken down the tree. I found the real estate (房产) photo. In front of the house lay two huge lengths of trunk. I’d have to act fast to get a piece for Merry and me. The agent involved in the sale said that he would try to talk with the new owner. However, that attempt failed. Then I turned to John Zelenka, an artful arborist, for help. Fortunately, he sent photos of the remaining trunk pieces, contacted the owner, and suggested slices for my woodworking hobbyist son in New Hampshire.
On a cold April morning, my husband and I met Zelenka to examine the pieces he’d cut after transporting the trunk. I couldn’t call Merry fast enough. She was excited. Trees give us such gifts from flowers to shade. My relationship with Old Oak has taken on a new form.
1．What do we know about Old Oak?
A．It witnessed the author’s birth. B．It failed to survive a snowstorm.
C．It was located at the side of a road. D．It was a tall, centuries-old tree.
2．Why did Justine call the author last October?
A．To report an incident about Old Oak. B．To inquire about the author’s property.
C．To recall their days spent under Old Oak. D．To invite her to attend Verona High reunions.
3．What can we infer about the author from the last two paragraphs?
A．She was unable to contact Merry. B．She felt grateful and comforted.
C．She decided to start a whole new life. D．She made wooden works out of the pieces.
4．What’s the writing purpose of the text?
A．To detail the process of reusing a fallen tree.
B．To explore how trees symbolize family traditions.
C．To emphasize the importance of protecting ancient trees.
D．To share a heartfelt personal experience with a beloved tree.

[08]（24-25高一上·浙江嘉兴·期末）Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, born in 1977 in Enugu, Nigeria, is a famous writer and thinker known for her powerful storytelling and clear ideas on social issues. She grew up in Nsukka, a university town, where her parents worked as professors. Encouraged by her family’s love for books and learning, Adichie started writing stories as a child. She read novels by both African and Western writers, but she often noticed that Western books gave an incorrect picture of African life. This early understanding encouraged her to write stories that showed a more real image of her culture.
Adichie moved to the United States for college, where she studied communication, political science, and creative writing. Her experience in the U. S. influenced her works deeply, as she observed cultural misunderstandings and stereotypes (刻板印象) about Africa. She used these observations to shape her unique writing style, mixing her Nigerian roots with her international outlook.
Her first novel, Purple Hibiscus (2003), follows a Nigerian family dealing with personal and societal struggles. It received international praise and established Adichie as a rising star. Her second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), explores the Biafran War and its influence on ordinary people, while her third, Americanah (2013), examines themes of self-discovery, race, and migration (移民) through the story of a Nigerian woman living in the U. S. These works not only earned her countless awards but also challenged stereotypes about African life, offering a rich and detailed view of her homeland.
Adichie is also a supporter of gender (性别) equality. Her TED Talk, We Should All Be Feminists, became a big success and was even adapted into a book. Today, she continues to write and speak on topics like culture and self-discovery, using her voice to connect people and promote understanding across different communities.
1．Why did Adichie take up writing?
A．She was influenced by her parents. B．She was interested in Western novels.
C．She was educated in the United States. D．She was determined to introduce her culture.
2．How did Adichie’s time in the U. S. affect her?
A．She became more focused on politics. B．She began to question her Nigerian roots.
C．She developed her personal way of writing. D．She started writing about American history.
3．Adichie’s three novels mentioned in paragraph 3 show ________.
A．the value of self-discovery B．the real image of African life
C．some social issues in Enugu D．women’s role in a Nigerian family
4．What is the text mainly about?

[09]（24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末）My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak, Tintin, and Archie. They enabled me to enjoy myself in a world without iPads and the Internet — just like so many of my friends who were fond of reading.
While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I found the idea of reading text-only novels quite formidable. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex stories through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. And so, as I grew older, I found myself turning to graphic novels from childish comic books.
Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was going on. For example, when I was reading Joe Sacco’s Palestine, I didn’t have to imagine the ruin caused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I could actually see it while reading about it.
Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of Jonathan Bloomfield’s Palestine: A Novel. Though I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Sacco’s Palestine first. Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a “picture” of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the whole story.
While my romance with comic books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for graphic novels is much stronger and here to stay.
1．Why did the author start reading comic books as a child?
A．He found comic books interesting. B．He couldn’t go to bookstores.
C．He wanted to be different from his friends. D．He had limited access to other books.
2．Which word can best explain the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 27
A．Acceptable. B．Natural. C．Difficult. D．Interesting.
3．What does the author say about reading Sacco’s Palestine?
A．It changed his attitude to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
B．It made his understanding of Bloomfield’s book easier.
C．It encouraged him to read more text-only novels.
D．It prepared him to write in a more serious way.
4．What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?
A．Comic books are more an just pictures. B．Why he loves reading graphic novels.
C．Why he turned to serious novels eventually. D．Picture books are here to stay for many reasons.

[10]（24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末）There is a fine line between a fake (赝品) and an exact copy of masterpieces. To an extent, it rests in the copyist’s intention. Are they trying to fool you and knowingly miss-sell their copy as an original, or are they openly presenting it as a replica (复制品). Adam Lowe — a trained artist in the copying business — has kept strictly to the well-intentioned camp.
For a quarter of a century Lowe has spent his considerable energy producing high-quality reproductions of paintings and sculptures for museums and galleries around the world. He describes his digital scanning technique as being more close to drawing than to photography, as four cameras are suspended above a painting’s surface taking pictures from every perceived angle to create a single composite image. From this data a precise mould (模具) of the picture surface is made, with which the high-resolution digital photograph is then printed.
The Prado Museum in Madrid appointed Lowe’s company, Factum Arte, to scan its collection of Black Paintings by Francisco de Goya. Lowe produced a high-resolution close-up crop of the Spanish artist’s famous The Dog, a framed copy of which you can buy in the museum’s shop for about 990 euros. He has taken the idea of copying even further through his Spanish Gallery where “nothing is real” — from the decorated ceiling to the paintings hanging on the walls. He declares it his “greatest achievement”.
Lowe sees his creations as the 21st-century version of “cultural preservation” and thinks it ought to be funded by governments and universities. He has spoken to the mayor of Madrid about setting up a global arts center for cutting-edge digital technologies, but that ambition remains in the hands of the politicians.
I went to visit Lowe at his art-making HQ, located on the edge of Madrid. Top-of-the-range digital printers, complex cameras and virtual reality headsets dotted the 3D-printed Greek sculptures. An army of computer scientists were busy with their works.
As he sat down with a cool glass of early evening wine he seemed worn down by decades of skepticism. “People call us Factum, the factory of fakes,” he complained. “What we are doing is scientific recording to give accurate information about the artwork’s surface that allows you to understand it better and more deeply.”
1．What is the primary purpose of Adam Lowe’s work?
A．To create exact fakes of famous artworks.
B．To replace original artworks with replicas.
C．To sell copies of masterpieces to private collectors.
D．To produce high-quality reproductions for museums.
2．What’s special about Lowe’s technique?
A．It uses a single camera to capture the entire image.
B．It involves drawing each part of the painting by hand.
C．It relies on computer-generated imageries to create the artwork.
D．It uses multiple (多个的) cameras to take pictures from different angles.
3．How do people think of Lowe’s work?
A．They think his work is overpriced.
B．They consider his replicas to be fakes.
C．They believe his technique is outdated.
D．They doubt the accuracy of his reproductions.
4．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Innovative Technique of Adam Lowe
B．The Debate over Fake Artworks in Museums
C．The Challenges of Running a Copying Business
D．Preserving Art Through High-Quality Reproductions

[12]（24-25高一上·广东茂名·期末）Dorothy Jean Tillman Ⅱ of Chicago, Illinois took her first college class at age 10. In December, 2023, she became the youngest person to earn a doctorate in integrated behavioural health (综合行为健康) at Arizona State University. When she completed her study programme, she was 17.
Her friends and family, though, call Tillman by another name, “Dorothy Jeanius”. A “genius” is a very smart person.
When most students her age were still in primary school, Tillman took classes through the College of Lake County in northern Illinois. She studied psychology and completed her associate’s (副的) degree in 2016.
She earned a bachelor’s in humanities from New York’s Excelsior College in 2018. About two years later, she finished her master of science degree from Unity College in Maine. In 2021, she started work on her doctoral degree at Arizona State. Most of her work has been done online while living at home. Tillman said she credits her mother and grandmother for her educational success.
But she did not get to do all the normal things for young people. “I didn’t have the everyday school things like school dances or spirit weeks or just school pictures and things like that ...” she said.
She did find time for a dance programme and started an organization called the Dorothyjeanius STEAM Leadership Institute. STEAM stands for “science, technology, engineering, arts and maths”. The programme helps young people interested in those subjects during school breaks.
Now that she has finished her studies, Tillman plans to work on raising money to expand her organization. She hopes to bring it to other places beyond Chicago.
Her mother Jimalita Tillman said she is proud of her daughter’s ability to deal with success while making good choices between taking part in social activities and her studies.

[13]（24-25高一上·山东菏泽·期末）One tap of my stick, and the buffalo (水牛) moved forward. I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan.
Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes.
The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward.
I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper.
One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life.
Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university.
Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course.
1．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To present the author’s dream. B．To show the author’s daily life.
C．To describe the author’s village. D．To introduce the author’s background.
2．Who played a key role in the author’s childhood?
A．His father. B．His uncle. C．His classmates. D．His brother.
3．Why does the author mention the internship experience in Hyderabad?
A．To tell his professional growth.
B．To show off his calligraphy skills.
C．To offer his solution to difficult situations.
D．To emphasize his travel experiences.
4．What can we learn from the text?
A．All is well that ends well. B．Where there is a will, there is a way.
C．Two heads are better than one. D．One cannot be in two places at once.

[14]（24-25高一上·山东威海·期末）Hi there! My name is Erica. I’ve struggled with my weight since I was eight years old. At my peak, I weighed 320 pounds. Over the years I tried every diet you could think of. I tried personal trainers and fitness camps. The result was always the same — I’ d lose 30-50 pounds; then gain back 40 pounds. I tried C25K (Couch to 5K) so many times because my husband enjoyed running and I tried to like it as well. I hated it and couldn’t help but be reminded of my school days and collecting popsicle (冰棒) sticks for each circle (I was always last).
More time went by and the only activity I could bring myself to do in public was Zumba. February 2017 was a game-changing time in my life. Something clicked after an embarrassing moment that involved burpees (立卧撑) in front of a group at my kids’ school event. The next day I asked my husband if he would join me in figuring out my health. (At this time I was 280 pounds.) After losing 15 pounds, I decided to give C25K one more shot (after more than a dozen failed times).
In June 2017, I ran for five minutes without stopping. By the end of July I ran my first mile. Reaching the mile was huge in my world because I had built up a mile as if it were a marathon. By December 2017, I completed C25K successfully! A few months later I ran my first race, Texas Ragnar relay. After that, I completed my first half marathon. I caught the running bug and by July I hit a huge milestone — 100 pounds down!
After the half marathon, my husband and I were determined to continue running. We kept training for no event in particular. We needed more support for what we were planning — a full marathon.
1．What might C25K be?
A．A fitness course. B．A marathon event.
C．A school game. D．A running program.
2．What made the author determined to restart running?
A．Her husband’s advice. B．Her terrible overall health.
C．Her Zumba class experience. D．Her burpee embarrassment.
3．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase in paragraph 3?
A．Fell in love with running. B．Joined a running club.
C．Showed a gift for running. D．Found running partners.
4．Where can the text be read?
A．A lecture for fund-raising. B．A report from a running club.
C．A forum for running stories. D．A speech about running benefits.

[16]（24-25高一上·山东青岛·期末）Douyin influencer Chen Jifang, aged 70, has significantly received 3 million likes for her exercise video clips.
For Chen, her passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of a desire to become famous. According to Chen, her health had been poor and she even had to give up her job after giving birth to her daughter because her health was severely affected by the pregnancy (孕期). In 2018, following a physical examination, Chen was diagnosed (诊断) with a series of issues. The doctor suggested that she exercise more to prevent her already poor health from getting worse. Therefore, an overweight Chen started with light jogging, but a fitness coach later advised her to improve her size and her knee before running. Because of this, Chen entered a gym for the first time on Dec 29, 2018. Then she hit the gym every day in 2019.
While most people would be concerned about having an elderly family member participate in such hard physical exercise in the gym, it doesn’t bother Chen. Her husband shows his support by doing most of the housework. Her daughter, on the other hand, helps to pick her gym wear.
Chen may be a star in her own right, but she is also just one of many senior citizens in China’s major cities who are accepting exercise enthusiastically. According to a 2019 Cheetah Mobile report on the fitness behavior of the elderly, nearly 90 percent of such people in China have fitness habits while 66.4 percent of them exercise almost every day. The report also notes that the traditional means for the elderly to stay fit, such as square dancing and tai chi, have been unable to meet the new needs of the fitness-addicted elderly population.
1．Why did Chen begin to exercise?
A．To better her health conditions.
B．To lose weight after the diagnosis.
C．To gain popularity on social media.
D．To make new friends in the gym.
2．What helps Chen stick to her exercise?
A．Suggestions from the coach.
B．Concerns about being old.
C．Eagerness to impress people.
D．Encouragement from her family.
3．What does the 2019 Cheetah Mobile report suggest about the elderly?
A．They prefer traditional exercises.
B．They are less interested in fitness.
C．They are addicted to daily exercise.
D．They are changing their fitness habits.
4．What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce Chen’s road to fitness.
B．To discuss fitness habits of the elderly.
C．To promote an elderly fitness program.
D．To explain why Chen uses Douyin for fitness.

[17]（24-25高一上·重庆江北·期末）In her tiny Athens apartment, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted (编织) thousands of brightly colored scarves (围巾) for children in need from Greece to Ukraine, and she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughter estimates.
In the hallway by the door, shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home. A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days.
Firstly given out to people around her as a gift, the scarves were later donated to children’s shelters across Greece as the number of knitted ones grew. Then, through friends, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The latest batch of 70 scarves went to a refugee (难民) camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency.
Her daughter, Angeliki, tells about drawings and mails that her mother has received over the years: “Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people.” That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words. Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is damaged and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night.
She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving.” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.”
1．What did the scarves begin as?

[18]（24-25高一上·重庆·期末）Cathy Brennan calmly paddled her bright yellow kayak (皮艇) down the Potomac River,continuing her voyage, the latest of her solo trips on major waterways. It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the present. “I’m in the moment, looking at the waves,” said Brennan.The journey is a minimalist style: a sleeping bag,a small tent, a rain jacket, a change of clothes, a first aid hit, apples and cheese sticks. “I always drink the river,” she says. Brennan loves being on the rivers, seeing the eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating bunch of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes.
However, every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and at a chceseburger. She’ll also check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home. “He’s my virtual Sherpa with benefits,”Brennan says, laughing. She has a phone with her but seldom calls or texts anyone. Her children usually keep track of her via the transponder (应答器) that sends them her location every 10 minutes or so.
Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not reckless. When going through rapids (急流), she watches the weather in advance. She is careful about where she camps and who is around her. She has packed up her equipment and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe.

[19]（24-25高一上·重庆·期末）Does adventure have an age limit? Two close friends have given a negative answer to the question. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip, both at the age of 81, inspired by Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in 80 Days, are on a mission to see all seven continents in just over two and a half months.
Their first stop was a location that was not easily accessible to even many experienced travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage, the famously rough waters. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild,” Hamby said. “But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable — just breath-taking.”
Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world.”
When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too concerned. “She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain ... That’s fine. She’s living the life she wanted to live, and I’m happy for her,’” Hamby said.
Hazelip hopes their story can inspire people of all ages. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Hazelip said. “Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ‘the world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page’. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.”
1．Which words can best describe Hamby and Hazelip’s journey to Antarctica?
A．Adventurous but wonderful. B．Boring and uneventful.
C．Well-planned and smooth. D．Romantic but fruitless.
2．What was the most unforgettable part of the trip for Hamby?
A．Seeing beautiful scenes. B．Meeting wonderful people.
C．Experiencing different cultures. D．Having her best friend’s company.
3．What was Louise’s attitude to her mother’s journey?
A．Uncertain. B．Indifferent. C．Supportive. D．Concerned.
4．What message does Hazelip most want to give us?
A．It’s never too old to learn.
B．A friend for life is a friend indeed.
C．Seeing the world is not a must for the old.
D．It’s never too late to live life to the fullest.

[20]（24-25高一上·重庆·期末）Bill Buda’s daughter Alexa Buda shared a video on her Instagram, documenting her dad’s last day as a mail carrier in their neighborhood. In the clip, Bill Buda was seen delivering the mail to different houses while his family accompanied him. Community members gathered to celebrate with drawings and sweet notes.
“People will NEVER forget how you made them feel.” he told Good Morning America. After being frequently asked about his retirement, he decided to choose Saturday to say goodbye to more people on his route. But he didn’t expect to be so warmly welcome. “When you sec all that on Saturday, I guess for 24 and a half years on this route, I really must have done something right. So it was fantastic.” he said.
He began working as a mailman in 1993 and hardly missed work. He said, “I was so lucky to work continuously for 11 years. So, that’s something to hang my hat on.”
However, becoming a mailman wasn’t originally his plan. Being a basketball player in college, he was set to play professionally overseas before he suffered from a heart problem. What’s worse, he lost jobs for several times while working in a company after graduating with two college degrees. Later, his dad encouraged him to apply for the job at the post office, where he then started working and never left.
Although some might think his job was “a piece of cake,” the actual responsibility was bigger than just delivering mail. “They have no idea you’re peeking in on your elderly; you’re checking if that garage door should be shut…” he explained, “If the mail piles up, you’d better go contact somebody.” As for his plan for retirement, he couldn’t wait to attend any sporting event he could and get everyone in his family on schedule.
1．Why was Bill Buda well-received?
A．Because he was posted online by his daughter.
B．Because he had made a difference to neighbors.
C．Because he was often asked about his retirement.
D．Because his family kept him company on the route.
2．What does the underlined part “to hang my hat on” likely mean in paragraph 3?
A．Formal. B．Specific. C．Dependable. D．Ordinary.
3．What can we learn about Bill Buda?
A．He personally found his job as easy as pie.
B．He dreamed to be a mailman when in youth.
C．He had to clean up the mail piling up himself.
D．He was looking forward to his retirement life.
4．What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A．A Mail Carrier’s Retirement Life
B．A Heartwarming Retirement Celebration
C．The Importance of Devotion to Work
D．The Impression of Family Members
