(2025·廣東高二上期中)
In 2014，my father，Michael，was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease，which shocked the whole family as he was only in his forties.
A husband and father of three，Dad had a successful career running a painting studio and was always extremely creative.Even in the advanced stages of Parkinson’s，my father decided to keep painting.In art lessons，the class practised painting still life objects，like pears，but my father had other ideas for his inspiration，beginning producing abstract pieces，explaining it helped us to see the world differently.I realized he was right.Observing my father’s works，I could interpret each of them in many ways.
Outside of work，he spent 15 years leading a band，Musical Chairs，which performed at the pub in Sydney’s Double Bay each week.When I became a mother，he developed a very close bond with my daughter，Portia.Even after his diagnosis，his passion for music remained unwavering，and his love for Portia continued to grow stronger.
Unfortunately，in 2022，he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and given just three months to live.As months turned to years，my father seemed a walking miracle，but his health was suffering.Knowing that he wanted to share his paintings with the world，I decided to organize an exhibition for him.By then he had painted 660 works.
I hadn’t done anything like this before.When I was younger，my father always told me “Just say yes and then work out how to do it later”，so I figured this philosophy would guide me through.
So in October last year，we welcomed the public to “My Kids Could Do That”，my father’s first public showing，held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.Everyone loved his works.I was thrilled to see Dad had found the confidence to call himself an artist at last.His eyes lit up with pride when he saw the walls filled with his works.I’ve got three of his pieces in my home and I can’t be more proud of what he has achieved.

(2025·四川高二上期中)
The law of supply and demand determines that an overabundance of anything will lead to a decrease in price.This rule applies not only to goods and services，but also to lifestyle and fashion trends.
In the 19th century，the primitive paintings of Picasso and Matisse shook up the positive image of the French bourgeoisie(中產階級)．In the 1970s，talented musicians with tailored costumes and egos were overshadowed by a band of punk rockers who sang about the cruel realities of ordinary life in poor urban areas.
I predict that this will also happen with beauty standards.The idealized version of life portrayed in fashion magazines will reach a turning point，as people become tired of unattainable perfection.
During my time in Washington D．C.in the 1990s，I had the opportunity to interact with numerous political celebrities.While chatting with former presidents or bumping into TV pundits(名嘴) in elevators，I also assisted former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara，who was my boss’s boss.What struck me was how plain these people appeared in real life despite their public characters.Like everyone else，they grappled with insecurities and mood swings，even though they were constantly under the spotlight.
Yes，it was great to drop names on the phone to my friends.My father，of course，couldn’t understand why I would ever want to leave there.“Because you’re not me and I’m not impressed，” I told him.We do not need to lead a luxurious life or make groundbreaking achievements to be content.Happiness can be found in living out the ordinary moments of an authentic life.
Most of us end up being ordinary people without doing anything that changes the world，but that does not mean our lives are meaningless.In fact，it is precisely this realization that leads to sustainable happiness because，when all is said and done，no one’s lifestyle is essentially better than any other’s.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇議論文。文章通過供需法則引出生活方式和時尚趨勢的變化，并以作者個人經歷為例，說明人們無需追求奢華生活或巨大成就即可獲得幸福，強調平凡生活的意義。
5．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．People’s lifestyle was changed by French bourgeoisie.
B．New forms of art and music started to focus more on reality.
C．Artists and musicians called on people to lead a simple and real life.
D．Ordinary people’s understanding of art and music was in a lower class at that time.
答案　B
解析　段落大意題。根據第二段可知，19世紀，畢加索和馬蒂斯的繪畫作品動搖了法國中產階級的正面形象。20世紀70年代，一群朋克搖滾歌手通過他們的歌曲，揭示了城市貧窮地區平凡生活的殘酷現實，使那些穿著定制服裝、自我意識強烈且才華橫溢的傳統音樂家顯得黯然失色。本段通過這兩個例子，說明了新的藝術和音樂形式開始更加關注現實。故選B。
6．What does the author’s observation about political celebrities suggest
A．They are just like ordinary people.
B．They lack the ability to lead a normal life.
C．They are not as successful as they claim to be.
D．They are not as intelligent as they appear on TV.
答案　A
解析　推理判斷題。根據第四段中“What struck me was how plain these people appeared in real life despite their public characters.Like everyone else，they grappled with insecurities and mood swings，even though they were constantly under the spotlight.”可知，作者觀察到政治名人盡管在公眾面前有光鮮的形象，但在現實生活中卻和普通人一樣，有不安全感和情緒波動。由此推知，作者認為政治名人就像普通人一樣。故選A。
7．Which of the following can best replace the underline phrase in paragraph 4
A．Struggled with. B．Agreed with.
C．Came up with. D．Competed with.
答案　A
解析　詞義猜測題。根據畫線短語上文“Like everyone else”和下文“insecurities and mood swings”可推知，政治名人和其他人一樣，他們也會與不安全感和情緒波動作斗爭。畫線短語grappled with意為“與……作斗爭”，和struggled with意思相近。故選A。
8．What does the author want to imply in the last paragraph
A．No one’s lifestyle is as same as others’．
B．People should strive for a better lifestyle.
C．People should be content with their own lifestyles.
D．People should critically evaluate other people’s lifestyles.
答案　C
解析　推理判斷題。根據最后一段內容“我們大多數人最終都是普通人，沒有做什么改變世界的大事，但這并不意味著我們的生活就沒有意義。事實上，正是這種認識帶來了持久的幸福，因為歸根結底，沒有誰的生活方式本質上比其他人的更好”可推知，作者暗示人們應該對自己的生活方式感到滿足。故選C。

In 2014，my father，Michael，was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease，which shocked the whole family as he was only in his forties.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者的父親Michael在患病后依然堅持熱愛藝術的故事。
Ⅲ.主題語篇閱讀
A husband and father of three，Dad had a successful career running a painting studio and was always extremely creative.Even in the advanced stages of Parkinson’s，my father decided to keep painting.In art lessons，the class practised painting still life objects，like pears，but my father had other ideas for his inspiration，beginning producing abstract pieces，explaining it helped us to see the world differently.I realized he was right.Observing my father’s works，I could interpret each of them in many ways.
Outside of work，he spent 15 years leading a band，Musical Chairs，which performed at the pub in Sydney’s Double Bay each week.When I became a mother，he developed a very close bond with my daughter，Portia.Even after his diagnosis，his passion for music remained unwavering，and his love for Portia continued to grow stronger.
Unfortunately，in 2022，he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and given just three months to live.As months turned to years，my father seemed a walking miracle，but his health was suffering.Knowing that he wanted to share his paintings with the world，I decided to organize an exhibition for him.By then he had painted 660 works.
I hadn’t done anything like this before.When I was younger，my father always told me “Just say yes and then work out how to do it later”，so I figured this philosophy would guide me through.
So in October last year，we welcomed the public to “My Kids Could Do That”，my father’s first public showing，held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.Everyone loved his works.I was thrilled to see Dad had found the confidence to call himself an artist at last.His eyes lit up with pride when he saw the walls filled with his works.I’ve got three of his pieces in my home and I can’t be more proud of what he has achieved.
1.What was Michael’s hobby

(2025·四川高二上期中)
The law of supply and demand determines that an overabundance of anything will lead to a decrease in price.This rule applies not only to goods and services，but also to lifestyle and fashion trends.
語篇解讀　本文是一篇議論文。文章通過供需法則引出生活方式和時尚趨勢的變化，并以作者個人經歷為例，說明人們無需追求奢華生活或巨大成就即可獲得幸福，強調平凡生活的意義。
In the 19th century，the primitive paintings of Picasso and Matisse shook up the positive image of the French bourgeoisie(中產階級).In the 1970s，talented musicians with tailored costumes and egos were overshadowed by a band of punk rockers who sang about the cruel realities of ordinary life in poor urban areas.
I predict that this will also happen with beauty standards.The idealized version of life portrayed in fashion magazines will reach a turning point，as people become tired of unattainable perfection.
During my time in Washington D.C.in the 1990s，I had the opportunity to interact with numerous political celebrities.While chatting with former presidents or bumping into TV pundits(名嘴) in elevators，I also assisted former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara，who was my boss’s boss.What struck me was how plain these people appeared in real life despite their public characters.Like everyone else，they grappled with insecurities and mood swings，even though they were constantly under the spotlight.
Yes，it was great to drop names on the phone to my friends.My father，of course，couldn’t understand why I would ever want to leave there.“Because you’re not me and I’m not impressed，” I told him.We do not need to lead a luxurious life or make groundbreaking achievements to be content.Happiness can be found in living out the ordinary moments of an authentic life.
Most of us end up being ordinary people without doing anything that changes the world，but that does not mean our lives are meaningless.In fact，it is precisely this realization that leads to sustainable happiness because，when all is said and done，no one’s lifestyle is essentially better than any other’s.
5.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.People’s lifestyle was changed by French bourgeoisie.
B.New forms of art and music started to focus more on reality.
C.Artists and musicians called on people to lead a simple and real life.
D.Ordinary people’s understanding of art and music was in a lower class
at that time.
√
段落大意題。根據第二段可知，19世紀，畢加索和馬蒂斯的繪畫作品動搖了法國中產階級的正面形象。20世紀70年代，一群朋克搖滾歌手通過他們的歌曲，揭示了城市貧窮地區平凡生活的殘酷現實，使那些穿著定制服裝、自我意識強烈且才華橫溢的傳統音樂家顯得黯然失色。本段通過這兩個例子，說明了新的藝術和音樂形式開始更加關注現實。故選B。
解析
6.What does the author’s observation about political celebrities suggest
A.They are just like ordinary people.
B.They lack the ability to lead a normal life.
C.They are not as successful as they claim to be.
D.They are not as intelligent as they appear on TV.
√
推理判斷題。根據第四段中“What struck me was how plain these people appeared in real life despite their public characters.Like everyone else，they grappled with insecurities and mood swings，even though they were constantly under the spotlight.”可知，作者觀察到政治名人盡管在公眾面前有光鮮的形象，但在現實生活中卻和普通人一樣，有不安全感和情緒波動。由此推知，作者認為政治名人就像普通人一樣。故選A。
解析
7.Which of the following can best replace the underline phrase in paragraph 4
A.Struggled with. B.Agreed with.
C.Came up with. D.Competed with.
詞義猜測題。根據畫線短語上文“Like everyone else”和下文“insecurities and mood swings”可推知，政治名人和其他人一樣，他們也會與不安全感和情緒波動作斗爭。畫線短語grappled with意為“與……作斗爭”，和struggled with意思相近。故選A。
解析
√
8.What does the author want to imply in the last paragraph
A.No one’s lifestyle is as same as others’.
B.People should strive for a better lifestyle.
C.People should be content with their own lifestyles.
D.People should critically evaluate other people’s lifestyles.
√
推理判斷題。根據最后一段內容“我們大多數人最終都是普通人，沒有做什么改變世界的大事，但這并不意味著我們的生活就沒有意義。事實上，正是這種認識帶來了持久的幸福，因為歸根結底，沒有誰的生活方式本質上比其他人的更好”可推知，作者暗示人們應該對自己的生活方式感到滿足。故選C。
解析

3.A.peaceful B.comfortable C.terrible D.civilized
