In 2017，Michael Platt established Michaels Desserts，a company that gives a cupcake to the homeless for every dessert it sells.As its business develops and partnerships with charities grow，his company has gained some fame in the local food and charity field.He has helped thousands of people and remains a vocal supporter of addressing food insecurity."I know that a cupcake won't end hunger but a tasty treat，when times are tough，can make life sweeter，"he wrote on the company's website.

3．（2025?成都三模） A few weeks ago I bought two orchids（兰花） for my windowsill.After giving them the dose of water they clearly missed in the shop，I started reflecting on how closely plant care and philosophy are connected.The two，I realized，share more than meets the eye.
You care for plants，and enjoy the life that develops thanks to your care，but the process is never finished.It continues until the plant completes its life cycle and then starts all over again.Philosophy works in the same way：new ideas，insights and perspectives are constantly emerging from the care taken with existing ideas.So just as plants grow and bloom，philosophical thinking is an ongoing process of becoming which never really reaches an end point.But it is precisely this constant thinking that keeps us on our toes，stimulates our creativity，and challenges us to leave the beaten track.
Philosophical thinking，like caring for plants，also requires patience.While we think，little seems to be happening.The thinker seems to lose himself in reasoning，an idea，a concept...In this he resembles the gardener who also plays a largely passive role between sowing and harvesting.In other words，the gardener has to follow the rhythms of nature.He can do little but wait，observe ﹣and perhaps attend to his own thoughts.This waiting，this slowness，this patience we must exercise，are part of philosophy，just as they're part of gardening.
Furthermore，both gardening and philosophy are far from useful in the traditional understanding of the word.Philosophical thinking rarely produces immediate，concrete results.The same goes for taking care of plants：there's little economic benefits in watering house plants.But isn't true happiness to be found precisely in the seemingly useless？When I see the spray of water from my watering can，my mind escapes the world of immediate rewards for a moment.
So even watering plants raises more questions than you might think.But isn't questioning precisely the essence of both philosophy，and of life itself？
（1）Which best describes the similarity between gardening and philosophical thinking？
A.Continuous.
B.Unpredictable.
C.Inspiring.
D.Creative.
（2）According to paragraph 3，how are gardeners and thinkers alike？
A.They need to follow the natural pace.
B.They must work quickly and efficiently.
C.They both need to experience loneliness.
D.They should set goals before taking action.
（3）What does the underlined phrase"the word" in paragraph 4 refer to？
A.Philosophy.
B.Useful.
C.Happiness.
D.Patient.
（4）What's the main purpose of the text？
A.To encourage a simpler way of living.
B.To explain the basic ideas of philosophy.
C.To explore how philosophy improves daily life.
D.To illustrate the link between gardening and philosophy.
4．（2025?武汉校级模拟） I started walking backward for no apparent reason.I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward.Since I'd already started，I thought I could walk all the way home that way.After all，the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring.
The first problem was practical.Snow is a pain even for regular walking，so my pace slowed down considerably.At this different pace，life itself felt rushed in comparison.How silly it is that we're always in such a hurry to get somewhere.For example，I often arrive at places long after my body gets there.Sometimes I reach my daughters' school，but my mind is still at home，wondering whether I unplugged my wife's hair dryer.Walking backward，however，forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind.
The next thing had to do with vision.In regular walking，the path ahead is always visible.Here，you use other senses：you hear the car approaching，you sense the unevenness of the ground，and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow.You activate an entire set of skills we usually don't use because of our dependence on sight.This way，the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure，a discovery I hadn't anticipated.
Because of my addiction to foolish ideas，I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day.And I quickly realized something obvious：the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled.And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life：moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you've been，or how far you've come.Looking back is always good for self﹣value.There's no way to look at yesterday and not feel better：for the illness that didn't kill you，or the happy childhood days that still make you smile.
（1）What interested the author in the first paragraph？
A.Finding a new route back home.

A.We need to stay focused at work.
B.We don't need to live a rushed life.
C.We should spend more time with family.
D.We shouldn't compare ourselves to others.
（3）How did the author overcome the vision problem？
A.He studied a set of new skills.
B.He depended on his memory.
C.He followed his sense of direction.

C.It's important to find your self﹣value.
D.One ought to learn to forgive himself.
5．（2025?湖北三模） Recently I bought a book about signposts.Signposts aren't very interesting，you're thinking.Well，that，of course，depends on whether you happen to be lost!Ancient travelers would have been grateful for these when settlements were smaller and further apart.In winter，the ability to reach shelter for the night could be the difference between life and death.
One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria.Dating from Roman times，it had lain fallen until 1836，when a farmer ploughing his fields came across a sandstone shaft （碑文）.There are other stone posts that have stood by roadsides for centuries.It wasn't until 1697 that an act was passed declaring that guide﹣stones must be built.
This applied to remote parts of the country where there might be confusion as to which path led to the nearest market town.Later，with the appearance of the Royal Mail，the number rose still further.Nowadays many of these early road signs are designated （指定） as Listed Monuments.
"How times change!" Lucy，an enthusiastic walker，to whom I loaned the book，exclaimed.
"I suppose now we all rely far more upon mobile phones to guide us."
"Yet they aren't perfect.Whenever I go out，I prefer a map.I never have to worry about running out of battery." "I'm always grateful to whoever is placing way﹣markers along the route，" she added，"I suppose that however sure we are，a little outside confirmation is always welcome."
Lucy is quite right there.Life itself can offer us a great many choices of path，and sometimes it isn't easy to know if we've chosen the best one.
Perhaps when it comes to gratitude，we should also include thanks for those people who appear in our lives when we most need them — either giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction，or reassurance that we are on the right track.After all，we'd be lost without them!
（1）What does the underlined word "these " in the first paragraph refer to？
A．Signposts.
B．Abilities.
C．Settlements.
D．Shelters.
（2）What contributed to the initial spread of signposts？
A．The market trade.

6．（2025?云安区模拟） At the park where my children play，beside the fishing pond，stands an oak tree.Like a great mother，she has watched over me and my children for two decades.Called a Penn Oak，the tree is said to have been standing for three hundred years.
For fourteen years，I had been a stay﹣at﹣home，baby﹣wearing，cloth﹣washing，homeschooling mom.One morning while walking，I complained to my husband that I didn't want to just be a stay﹣at﹣home mom anymore. "Why don't you go to college and finish your degree？" he suggested.
For that comment，my husband received a five﹣mile﹣long earful of reasons why I could not go back to school.Besides being too busy crocheting （用钩针编织） diaper covers，I was not comfortable with the idea of going to college as a middle﹣aged adult.
Then，one day，with a child or two on my lap，I read Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree.For my children，it was a story about a boy who makes friends with a tree.For me，it was a description of my life with a less﹣than﹣promising future.After the tree has given her apples，branches and trunk to the boy，all she has left to give is a seat on her stump to an old man.I understood that I was the tree giving tiny pieces of myself away to my children.When my story ended，like the tree，I would be nothing but a sagging stump.I realized I did not want to be the Giving Tree；I wanted to be the Penn Oak tree.I wanted to stand tall and strong，to stretch out my branches and invite my children to play and dream beneath my canopy.
This summer，I graduated with honors.Now，I have more than apples，branches and a trunk；I can give my children words and ideas that will last.Now，I am standing tall ﹣ a woman whom my children can admire.

7．（2025?抚顺二模） I recently went on my first overseas vacation to Greece.I was with my in﹣laws and my wife，and naturally，we went to restaurants whenever we were hungry.Having lived in North America for my entire life，I had certain expectations of restaurants：You go in，peruse the menu，place your order，get your food，eat it，pay，tip，and go on your way.I knew that European countries did not generally participate in tipping culture，but I didn't understand how that fundamentally altered the entire business interaction.
Whenever we finished eating，we would relax with the dishes that we were very obviously done with，chat for a bit，and wait for the bill.Wait，wait，and wait!
This happened at every restaurant we went to：After we were done and ready to pay and leave，we would end up waiting twenty or thirty minutes to actually get the bill and pay.We absolutely could not figure it out!The servers seemed to be so attentive to everyone else in the restaurants，the locals，but for the obvious group of tourists，we were just left to wait，wait，and wait!It was actually getting frustrating!
I finally figured it out on the last day of our trip，watching the locals.When the locals finished their meals，they would not pay immediately.Instead，they would sit and chat，and just sort of…hang out.They would pay when they were ready to leave，and no one would hustle （催促） them out of there.Because the servers weren't working for pennies and dependent on tips，they had no reason to move people along.Everyone was allowed to move at their own pace，pay when they were ready to pay，and leave when they were ready to leave.The servers would expect the customers to approach or signal them that they were done，rather than checking every few minutes to get things moving.What a novel experience!I wish we had figured it out sooner.
（1）Why did the author wait？
A.For their food.
B.For their bill.
C.For the servers.
D.For a chat.
（2）What made the author upset？
A.Long waiting time.
B.Poor dishes.
C.No tipping culture.
D.High prices.
（3）How did the servers know when customers were ready to pay？
A.By guessing.
B.By asking directly.
C.By waiting for a signal.
D.By checking every few minutes.
（4）What did the author learn on the last day？
A.To tip the servers.
B.To wait for a table.
C.Local dining customs.
D.How to signal to the servers.
8．（2025?杜集区校级模拟） Every bookstore in Beijing used to have a massive fiction room piled to the ceiling with great books.These days，you're as likely as not to find that those rooms have been shrunk down to the size of a solitary （单独的） table thickly covered with the latest releases and best﹣selling novels.This，however，begs the question：Is fiction dying out，or is print media finally defeated by its electronic and audio copy opponents？
Now that Kindle is leaving China，some say that maybe people will get back to traditional reading.I doubt it，however.This downward reading trend has been evident for a long time now.When Jeff Bezos first launched Kindle，Steve Jobs from Apple said it would fail because "people don't read anymore.It doesn't matter how good or bad the product is."
But I don't think reading itself is dying.It is merely becoming more functional —in other words，something you have to do in order to get some practical benefits.Gone are the days when people just read for fun.Why lumber （迫使担负） through a musty old book when you can watch an action movie or play a video game？Of course，people know that these are poor substitutes（替代品）for a good book.
In fact，there is nothing better than getting lost in a great book.I remember reading Shackleton，the British polar explorer，when I was a boy.After turning over the last leaf of this extraordinary adventure，I felt as if I，too，had just been to the South Pole and back.This imaginary achievement translated into a sense of confidence which must have been infectious，as soon afterwards all of my friends were themselves picking up books to read for fun.Psychologists say that you are the average of the five friends you surround yourself with.We can learn from them and they can also come to have a profound effect on our own habits and mindset.In this way，a book，too，can be a mentor （导师）.The ideas，advice，mindset，and experiences of other people living in other times can get transmitted to us down through the pages of a good book.
In the age of fragmented information，the winners will be those who can stay focused.However，in a world that easily gets distracted，deep reading seems to be getting further away from us.Our biggest problem is not Kindle's departure from China，but our own departure from reality.Great books transmit universal truths；get them read.How exactly you do so is up to you.
（1）The author mentioned Kindle in the text to .
A.praise its convenience and popularity in reading
B.explore the reason for the decline of print media
C.highlight the decreasing trend of traditional reading
D.show our regret for its departure from China's market
（2）Which of the following statements is true about Shackleton according to the passage？
A.He is famous for imaginary writing.
B.He finds nothing better than an old book.
C.He visited the South Pole many times himself.
D.His adventure story influenced the author a lot.
（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A.We should read more in order to escape from reality.
B.We have to accept the fact that Kindle is leaving China.
C.It's necessary to find better substitutes for books like Kindle.
D.We need to face the reality that reading is becoming less popular.
（4）What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage？
A.To discuss the future trend of reading.
B.To advocate the benefits of reading.
C.To analyze the reasons for the decline of reading.
D.To compare different forms of reading.
9．（2025?湖北三模） When Hayden Smith was growing up with his three siblings（姊妹） in a public housing，he dreamed of playing for Arsenal，the famous football club，and the family's small garden became his football field.He improved his skills dribbling between his mother's rosebushes and lavender plants，his shots kicking down her avocado tree.At 20，he was playing professionally in Austria.
Then，on a June evening in 2017，he got a text from his sister：a picture of Grenfell Tower，the housing project across the street from their home，consumed by flames.Seventy﹣two people would lose their lives in the tragedy，the country's worst residential fire since 1945. "All my friends were in Grenfell Tower and the surrounding area，" he says. "That was the moment I decided that I wasn't going to extend my contract and I needed to be at home."
Back in North Kensington，he channeled grief into action.Inspired by childhood memories of his mother's garden，he discovered a wasted patch beneath the Westway elevated highway.Teaming with locals，he transformed the trash﹣strewn space into the Grenfell Garden of Peace，planting geraniums，palms，and yams donated by nurseries.This humble plot became a lighthouse of recovering for a broken community.Soon，five additional ignored sites blossomed into vibrant public gardens， cementing Hayden Smith's role as an urban greening advocate.
In 2020，he co﹣founded Grow to Know，a nonprofit uniting gardeners like Danny Clarke to popularize green spaces.The organization tackles systemic inequities by empowering sidelined groups to access and shape urban nature. "If people lack time or resources to garden，" Hayden Smith argues， "we're excluding entire communities." His vision expanded beyond ecology to address social justice，combining environmentalism with cultural activism.At the 2022 Chelsea Flower Show，Grow to Know developed "Hands Off Mangrove，" a garden facility honoring a dead Caribbean restaurant central to 1970s anti﹣racism protests while highlighting global mangrove deforestation.In 2023，co﹣operations with brands like Gucci repurposed 10，000 plants from a Tate Modern fashion show into a community garden，bridging high art and grassroots action.
There's a reason that working with plants is so rewarding，Hayden Smith thinks. "In the garden，" he says， "boundaries and barriers come down."
（1）Why did Hayden's sister text him？
A．To stop him signing a contract.
B．To express her affection for him.

A．Cooperative and responsible.
B．Curious and warm﹣hearted.
C．Independent and intelligent.
D．Free﹣minded and patient.
10．（2025?江苏模拟） At 63，Thomas Carter stepped into Framland care home for the first time and was immediately taken aback."It wasn't like a care home at all；it was this beautiful old house overlooking the Oxfordshire countryside and there were only 21 residents，"she says."It felt like a big family，especially since everyone calls the residents' family members'.I fitted in right away."
Carter used to work as a pharmacy dispenser（发药师） at Boots in Oxford."It was a safe place for me，somewhere I could be face to face with customers and help them，"she says.But when it emerged that the job was about to change，Carter decided to retire."I thought I would start to spend time wandering around the garden，but after a few weeks without work I began to feel like Inever should have left，"she says.
Her former colleagues suggested that she take up a volunteering role at Framland."I'd never done any caring beyond looking after my parents，so I had no idea what to expect，"she says."Still，I thought it couldn't hurt to try.I showed up on that first day in 2017 to shadow a more experienced volunteer and six hours went in six minutes.Everyone was so welcoming and it was exciting not knowing what might happen from one hour to the next."
Now，Carter is an established member of the team and a specialist"Hummingbird"—the name given to members of staff who keep residents with dementia（痴呆症） company."We flit（快步走）from person to person like the bird，"she says."You have to be very patient with people who have dementia，as there is a lot of repetition and they can be annoying.At their worst，they can come out with some unexpected things，like swearing（咒骂） at you，but in that case it's not really them talking.At other times，it's so beautiful hearing them tell their life stories."
Carter says her work has given her an appreciation of the privilege of ageing and a deeper ability to understand others."I never judge a book by its cover now，as you have no idea what people have been through or how they might feel，"she says.

11．（2025?永州模拟） When I moved to northern New Jersey in 2012 and took a software test engineering job in midtown Manhattan，I suddenly found myself with an hour﹣long bus commute.I'd solved newspaper crossword puzzles for many years，but I had little patience and wasn't very good.So when I started my crosswording again during those long trips，I was determined to become a better solver.However，after noticing that all of The New York Times puzzles had bylines，I figured， "Why couldn't one of them be mine？"
I bought crossword construction software and a dictionary of valid crossword puzzle entries.I started with a blank 15 x15 grid.After reading，rereading，and more rereading of my puzzle，I decided that it was as good as it was ever going to be.So I sent it off to The Times and anxiously waited for their response.Several weeks later，I received an email from a staffer writing on behalf of editor Will Shortz.His answer was basically， "Thanks，but no thanks." What's worse，I received nearly the same rejection from Shortz and his colleagues for the next several puzzles I submitted.
Then I found my way to the Crossword Puzzle Collaboration Directory group on Facebook.In the group I connected with Mark，a more experienced constructor who became my teacher.After making some edits for my 21 x21 grid at Mark's suggestion，I sent the puzzle off to The New York Times.A few months later，I got something new in my inbox：an actual acceptance message from The New York Times!They changed some of the clues to be more straightforward.Anyway，my hard work finally paid off.Naturally，I told all my friends and family to get a copy of the paper on the publication date，March 21，2021.
Now I've made a lot in my spare time.Even if constructing a puzzle feels like an impossible task from time to time，it's probably not.Very few things in life are truly impossible.
（1）Why was the author determined to become a better solver？
A.Because the author likes the hour﹣long bus commute.
B.Because the author wants to create a construction software.

（2）What can we know from Paragraph2？
A.The author feels overjoyed.
B.The author feels down about the response.
C.The editor anxiously waited for their response.
D.The author doesn't want to wait for the response .

12．（2025?上杭县校级模拟） 75﹣year﹣old hip﹣hop （街舞） grandma Stephanie Walsh has gained worldwide attention with her intense dance moves and incredible energy.Better known as "Ms.Stephanie" online，Walsh has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing more than II million people to watch.
Walsh believes the videos gained popularity because she is 75. "It's because I'm a senior， "said Walsh. "You don't usually see someone my age doing hip﹣hop and moving like that.

Gilbert，one of Walsh's followers，says she inspires him every day. "She's a beautiful soul who teaches me that it doesn't matter about your age or your size.As long as you feel good，that's all that matters，" says Gilbert.

13．（2025?河南三模） In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist，William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others' work.Little did they know that he was a spelling champion，with a trophy（奖品） at home to prove it.Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14.Now 84，he's the oldest living champion of the contest，which dates back to 1925.As contestants from this year's competition headed home，he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him.
Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington D.C. ，for the spelling bee.His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together.
When the field narrowed to two competitors，the other boy misspelled "uncinate"，which means bent like a hook.Cashore spelled it correctly，then clinched the title with the word "transept"，an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross﹣ shaped church.
Cashore，who was given ＄500 and an encyclopedia set，enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity.He didn't brag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania，but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. "It gave me much more self﹣confidence and also gave me a sense that it's very important to try to get things as correct as possible，" he said. "I've always been that way，and I still feel that way.If people are careless about spelling and writing，you wonder if they' re careless about their thinking."
"Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago，" Cashore said. "The vocabulary of the words are far，far more technical.The English language，in the meantime，has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade，" he added.

15．（2025?延吉市校级模拟） I'd assumed ADHD was about naughty（淘气的） children performing badly at school.I had，however，always had an overactive brain.I experienced a constant and rapid stream of ideas，annoying my mother，who was often telling me to"switch that brain off".I was also a daydreamer and very emotionally sensitive.This internalized energy had nowhere to go，so it presented as anxiety.I didn't know these symptoms are marks of ADHD in females.
It wasn't until an unlucky attempt at a Ph.D.that the anxiety became problematic.I was unable to finish the work，so wrote it up as a master's.Emotionally damaged，I escaped from academia.I was misdiagnosed（被误诊） with generalized anxiety disorder.Yet my love for science didn't go away.I eventually went back to complete my Ph.D.in a topic I felt passionate about and then pursued a research career.
One day，my mother told me about a friend's child who was an adult with ADHD，which sounded a lot like me.Within the year，I received an official，accurate diagnosis.I bitterly thought to myself that if my ADHD had been detected earlier，I might have dealt better with the negative first Ph.D.experience and continued my studies rather than leaving academia.
But I also came to understand how ADHD has given me unique strengths.I' ve since realized my diverse abilities and creativity make me an innovative interdisciplinary （跨学科的） thinker，which is a huge benefit in academia.I also realized my emotional intelligence and infectious energy make me a good leader，while my tendency to become intensely absorbed in interesting activities means I work well to meet deadlines.
A year into my ADHD diagnosis，I' ve established daily well﹣being habits and I'm taking medication.Thanks to these，combined with my ADHD superpowers，I'm now making progress in my career and finally beginning to believe I have what it takes to succeed in science.

17．（2025?靖远县校级二模） To write about food，we can be reporting on deforestation for palm oil production，the animal welfare conditions in industrial meat﹣processing，etc.But for readers，it will all come back to the grocery store，the kitchen，and the menu they're faced with at a restaurant.How do we navigate this field which includes loss of biodiversity，greedy businessmen，climate change—without overwhelming but instead empowering and encouraging readers？
As an essayist，a cultural critic and food writer，at the end of the day，I am trying to attract my readers to consider what they eat.It requires that I involve and insert myself into this human dilemma.After all，I have to eat too.
I once wrote that in order to trust someone on the subject of food，I need to know about their eating history and appetites.This isn't because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up，but because it provides significant context：What purpose does food serve in your life？I want to know，so that I can understand why you're choosing to take it as a focus，whether in a writing career or just one essay.
I grew up on Long Island，spent years in Brooklyn，and now live in San Juan，Puerto Rico.My upbringing consisted of all the Italian，Chinese，Japanese，and Greek food one might imagine a kid just outside New York City would eat，plus Puerto Rican food influenced by my paternal grandmother's heritage.
My eating biography includes a lot of experiences—as eater，as server，as cook—and a commitment to what tastes good.All of these are useful knowledge for my perspective，and it's why there is a touch of memoir threaded throughout what is seemingly a cultural history：If I could grow up eating everything，how did I end up with all these ethical concerns and commitments around the food system？
I take the ordinary，the everyday and the ancestral（祖先的） with me when I write about how we have eaten for the past 50 years，and how we could eat in the future.How do I eat and what do I cook when I feel the weight of all these on my shoulders？

18．（2025?鹰潭二模） While touring Mississippi in an old car，John Ingall and his wife，Jane，discovered a plant that would change their lives﹣the hardshell gourd（葫芦）.
At first，it was mere curiosity，but soon，they saw gourds everywhere﹣carved，hanging，glowing as lanterns.Drawn to them，John，a lifelong farmer，decided to try growing them.
Back in Warwickshire，he planted a few seeds among his tomatoes.The plants grew quickly，reaching six feet tall.Weeks later，he found large gourds hidden among the leaves.Since then，he has harvested about a hundred gourds each year，each with a different shape﹣ some long and thin，others round.Unexpectedly，Ingall had been trying to retire when he first discovered gourds.After managing two farms﹣one from Jane's family and another for growing crops﹣he had always planned to stop working at 65.Unlike many farmers who never retire，he wanted to find a new interest.

Yet gourds.pushed him beyond his comfort zone."Not until I started working on them did I realize﹣I am an artist!"said John.Now，as one of the few gourd artists in the U.K.，he creates lanterns with colored glass，astonishing visitors.
As well as selling gourds through his personal studio，John markets them at art fairs，donating profits to fight the climate crisis."It's very satisfying.Gourds are an entirely sustainable material for many types of art，and every gourd is unique，"he says."I enjoy growing them.It's amazing what you can do with gourds."
