（1）B.细节理解题。根据第一段中Home meant housework，homework and annoying brothers.But a bike meant escapes.（家意味着家务、家庭作业和烦人的兄弟。但骑自行车意味着逃避）可知，在乔治的童年时代，自行车对他意味着摆脱日常琐事。故选B项。
（2）C.细节理解题。根据第二段中In 2010，George transformed his childhood love into a livelihood，and opened his bicycle shop，Penuel Bicycles.The shop fulfilled a lifelong dream.（2010年，乔治把童年的爱好变成了生计，开了自己的自行车店Penuel bikes。这家商店实现了他一生的梦想）可知，乔治一生的梦想是开自己的自行车店。故选C项。
（3）A.推理判断题。根据第五段George found that kids these days lead a different life.Usually，they don't want a bike for their birthday.And most of them ever don't know how to ride a bike.Instead of getting out and riding，they prefer spending their time on their phones indoors.As kids don't ride，it is impossible that parents crowd in his shop to buy new bikes.Nine years after opening his Penuel Bicycles，George feared that he had to close the shop，（乔治发现现在的孩子有了不同的生活方式。通常，他们不想要自行车作为生日礼物。他们中的大多数人都不知道如何骑自行车。比起出门骑车，他们更喜欢在室内玩手机。由于孩子们不骑自行车，父母们不可能挤进他的商店里买新自行车。在佩努埃尔自行车店开业9年后，乔治担心他不得不关闭这家店）可推知，乔治的自行车生意一度陷入困境的原因是孩子们的生活方式改变了。故选A项。
（4）A.标题归纳题。通读全文可知，乔治回忆了童年时期骑自行车的快乐和现在孩子们生活方式的改变让他们无法体会骑车的乐趣，但疫情再次让许多美国人发现骑自行车和意义。结合最后一段中Now he is trying his best to meet his customers' needs and hopes that his customers can really discover the joy of riding（现在他正在努力满足顾客的需求，希望顾客能真正发现骑行的乐趣）可推知，"骑行的乐趣"贯穿全文，文章的线索，所以"Joy of Wheel （轮子上的快乐）"是最佳标题。故选A项。

212761. （2025•交大附中•高二下期中）     Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time.He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime，yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity.
    Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor.It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice.Many would say his childhood was not easy.He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.
    But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams.Nothing seemed to stop him，not even stolen shoes.Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the1912 Olympics，somebody stole hioes.Thorpe improvised（临时拼凑） by getting shoes out of the garbage.The shoes were two different sizes.He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.
    He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one，the javelin.The javelin was the only event he didn't win，probably because he had never competed in that event before.It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials.At the time，he didn't know that he could throw it with a running start.He threw it standing still and was placed second.
    At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon.He finished first in two events，third in four events，and fourth in two more.Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world.He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn't be stopped and just kept on going.
    I think Paul Dughi said it best， "It's hard to imagine now that proathletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes.For Jim Thorpe，it didn't matter what kind he wore."

（1）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean？
A.The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success.
B.Thorpe's success was no guarantee of a better life.
C.Thorpe's career brought him both gains and losses.
D.Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success.
（2）Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot？
A.To prevent the foot from injury.
B.To make the shoe fit the foot.
C.To stop the shoe from being stolen.
D.To show his problem-solving skills.
（3）What most likely led to Thorpe's failure to win the javelin？
A.Loss of his own sportoes.
B.A casual attitude towards the event.
C.Lack of experience in the event.
D.A shortage of talent for the event.
（4）Who can Thorpe set an example to？
A.Jack is in a dilemma about his future career.
B.Steve always wants to expand his social circle.
C.Paul ducks his head when encountering obstacles.
D.Richard dreams big but never turn it into action.

   The 47-year-old sailor could have stayed put on the tiny Portuguese island of Porto Santo，but the idea of spending what he thought could be "the end of the world" away from his family，especially his father who was soon to turn 90，was unbearable.So he loaded his 29-foot sailboat with canned fish，fruit and rice and set sail in mid-March.
   "I didn't want to stay like a coward on an island where there were no cases，" Mr.Ballestero said. "I wanted to do everything possible to return home.The most important thing for me was to be with my family."
   Friends tried to dissuade Mr.Ballestero from starting the perilous journey，and the authorities in Portugal warned him he might not be allowed to re-enter if he ran into trouble and had to turn back.But he was determined， "I bought myself a one-way ticket and there was no going back，" he said.
   Sailing can be a lonely passion，and it was particularly so on this voyage for Mr.Ballestero，who each night tuned into the news on a radio for 30 minutes to assess how the virus was spreading across the globe. "I kept thinking about whether this would be my last trip，" he said.
   When he made it to his native Mar del Plata，on June 17，he was surprised by the hero's welcome he received. "Entering my port where my father had his sailboat，where he taught me so many things about how to sail，gave me the taste of a mission accomplished，" he said.A medical professional administered a test for Covid-19 on the dock.Within 72 hours，after the test came back negative，he was allowed to set foot on Argentine soil.

213494. （2022•长安区一中•高一上期中） When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah，he happened to live near a copper smelter （炼铜厂），and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest.One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area.Paul knocked him down.From then on，something happened inside him.
   Years later Paul was back in the area，and he went to the smelter office.He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back.The answer from that big industry was "No".

Under the cover of darkness，he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.

213155. （2023•鄠邑区•高二上期中） In 1901，H.G.Wells，an English writer，wrote a book describing a trip to the moon.When the explorers landed on the moon，they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met.In turn，the "moon people" expressed their surprise.

212799. （2025•二十六中•高二下期中）     Zheng Kelu，the Chinese translator of French masterpieces by Victor Hugo，Alexandre Dumas，Stendhal and Simone Beauvoir，died aged 81 on Sept 20.In his six-decade career，Zheng translated around 60 French literature and social science works，and published 11 monographs and 10 textbooks.Thanks to his endeavors，Chinese readers were able to appreciate many classic French works of literature including Les Miserables，La Traviata and Le Comte de Monte-Cristo.

"You can't catch a break simply for being a woman，" she said.
   Her efforts were not in vain.Wang became a crew member of the Shenzhou-10 space mission in 2013.And more notably，she earned the title of China's first space teacher after giving a lecture to students from an orbit more than 300 km above the Earth's surface.
