（2025·北京東城區三模）
By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an impro class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. And then, at the height of my lowgrade desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.
“But you’ re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly injured myself the one time I tried to lift my leg onto our bathroom vanity in an attempt to stretch. But I was determined to give it a try. I needed confirmation that my body was capable of movement and grace.
I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. But this time around, the exact same things that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain joy. The repetitive nature of exercises at the barre. The fact that my every move invited my teacher’s critical dissection.
And though I’d expected my classes to be physically demanding and my muscles to ache, I hadn’t anticipated that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world.
When I was depressed for my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act of pointing and extending my foot to the side in a tendu, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about striving for perfection.
Eight years into my ballet classes, I am finally a ballerina at the tender age of 50, though not the kind that anybody would pay money to see on stage. Why do I continue Because when I do my almost daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible.
Recently, my teacher taught us a watered-down, beginner-appropriate version of the Rose Adagio choreography from Sleeping Beauty. As I stood in my living room, dancing for nobody but myself, I felt every inch a ballerina.
1. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. It’s never too old to learn.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
D. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
B
（2025·北京卷）
Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements Or will they see the big word “fail” in red The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us.
My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged.
Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning.
Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平臺) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself.
This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little.
2. What can we learn from this passage
A. Everyone is the maker of their own success.
B. Success favours those with a golden heart.
C. Success knocks at your door only once.
D. A college holds the key to success.

（2025·天津河東區二模）
Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about their neighbor Jeff Dunan’s volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign. However, a credit card notification alerted him to an unintended$15, 041 charge.
When he saw the five-figure number, he was confused. Soon, it all made sense. Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光標) was still in the donation box.
Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1, 500.
Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said.
Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120, 000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks — about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3, 700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned (震驚) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.”
3. What message does the story convey
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Always prepare for a rainy day.
D. A good beginning is half of victory.

答案與解析：
一、閱讀理解
1. A 主旨大意題。通讀全文，結合第一段中的“By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an impro class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. And then, at the height of my lowgrade desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.”可知，年過四十，我嘗試了各種據說能緩解中年焦慮的愛好，卻始終興致索然。我上過即興表演課，學過新語言，還給了瑜伽第二次機會。后來，在一種淡淡的絕望感驅使下，我決定報名參加芭蕾舞班；根據第六段中的“Eight years into my ballet classes, I am finally a ballerina at the tender age of 50.”可知，上了八年芭蕾舞課，我終于在50歲這個年紀成為了一名芭蕾舞演員。由此可知，作者通過講述自己從中年開始學習芭蕾，并最終在50歲時有所收獲的故事，體現了學習不受年齡限制這一道理。故A項“It’s never too old to learn.(活到老，學到老)”能概括文章主旨。故選A項。
2. C 推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“She was able to earn about half the usual amount of money by selling her oysters to the program. That was better than nothing.”可知，保護計劃為Calvo的養殖企業提供了銷售“丑陋的”牡蠣的機會，通過向該計劃出售牡蠣，她能夠賺取大約一半的錢。 因此，C項“Half a loaf is better than no bread（半片面包勝過沒有）”最能描述 該計劃對Calvo養殖企業的幫助。故選C項。
3. B 推理判斷題。根據最后一段內容可知，文章講述了邁克爾的一個無意之舉，通過在社交媒體上分享，引發了眾多人的關注和捐款，最終為孟加拉國救濟組織籌集到了大量資金，體現了眾人拾柴火焰高（Many hands make light work.）的道理。故選B項。
二、書面表達
參考范文：
A meaningful activity at the Animal Shelter
Last weekend, I volunteered at the animal shelter in our city. I started by cleaning the animals’ cages and feeding them. After that, I spent time playing with the cats and dogs, which helped them feel less lonely.
As the saying goes, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This volunteer work might seem small, but it is a significant start in making a difference to these lovely creatures. I truly believe that “Success favours those with a golden heart.” My experience there made me feel warm-hearted, and I am eager to volunteer more to bring hope to these animals.
