Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·山东威海市高三上期末)Costa Rica's jungles might seem an unlikely spot for a group of medics (医学工作者) to gather together. But struggling through this dense stretch of Central American wilderness, that's exactly who you might encounter.
Trading medical instruments and labmade medicines for rafts and snake venom, these medics come together under the guidance of World Extreme Medicine (WEM), an organisation training medical staff like nurses and doctors to work in the world's most unstable and remote conditions.
Extreme medicine is a subdiscipline (分支) of medicine in which healthcare providers respond to crises in war zones, assist those left behind after humanity's most horrific disasters, and conduct medicine not just on land, but also deep beneath the sea and even in outer space. While all medics need to think on their feet, Mark Hannaford, the founder of WEM, explains that for extreme medics,that_need is heightened. Medics might treat a patient in the burning heat of a desert, on an icecold tundra(苔原), or stabilize a person at altitude or in the dark. Despite this, he says, “you don't need to run a marathon with a backpack on every day to be an extreme medic. Physical fitness is not the challenge. The challenge is adequately preparing yourself for the environment you are going into.”
“You really have to take good selfcare in these environments,” adds prehospital lead and extreme medicine trainer, Eoin Walker. In places like Costa Rica, he teaches medics skills in security, diet and wound closure, etc. But medics also learn to care for their own physical and mental health. “In the UK, we don't have to remember to drink every hour, or clean and dry our feet, or look at our calorie content—but you do in that environment,” he says.
“People who live where disaster hits still have issues like diabetes, babies are still being born, people need medical treatment,” says Mark. And with more disasters set to strike, their needs will only increase. “Training extreme medics is becoming more important as we face environmental challenges like climate change,” he adds.

[语篇解读] 本文为一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了WEM是一个新兴的医学分支,文章介绍了WEM的性质、服务区域,对参与其中的医务人员的要求,以及世界对极限医护人员的需求。
1.A [细节理解题。根据第二段“Trading medical instruments and labmade medicines for rafts and snake venom, these medics come together under the guidance of World Extreme Medicine (WEM), an organisation training medical staff like nurses and doctors to work in the world's most unstable and remote conditions. ”,以及第三段“Extreme medicine is a subdiscipline (分支) of medicine in which healthcare providers respond to crises in war zones, assist those left behind after humanity's most horrific disasters, and conduct medicine not just on land, but also deep beneath the sea and even in outer space. ”可知,极限医学组织认为哥斯达黎加的丛林属于世界上最不稳定或最偏远的区域,所有的医务人员在极限医学组织的指导下在这里提供极限医疗服务。]
2.C [词义猜测题。根据第三段“While all medics need to think on their feet, Mark Hannaford, the founder of WEM, explains that for extreme medics, that_need_is heightened. ”可知,所有的医护人员都需要think on their feet,意为“快速反应”,that need指代上文的think on their feet,与“Responding wisely and quickly”意思相近。]
3.B [推理判断题。根据第四段“‘You really have to take good selfcare in these environments,... — but you do in that environment,’ he says. ”可知, Eoin Walker强调了:在哥斯达黎加的丛林中,作为治病救人的医务人员要先学会照顾好自己的身心健康,与B项“Selfcare cannot be stressed enough. (自我照顾再怎么强调也不为过。)”意思相近。]
4.B [写作目的题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“Trading medical instruments and labmade medicines for rafts and snake venom, these medics come together under the guidance of World Extreme Medicine (WEM), an organisation training medical staff like nurses and doctors to work in the world's most unstable and remote conditions.”以及第三段“Extreme medicine is a subdiscipline (分支) of medicine in which healthcare providers respond to crises in war zones, assist those left behind after humanity's most horrific disasters, and conduct medicine not just on land, but also deep beneath the sea and even in outer space. ”可知,WEM是一个新兴的医学分支,文章介绍了WEM的性质、服务区域,对参与其中的医护人员的要求,以及世界对极限医护人员的日益增长的需求。故本文的目的是介绍一个新兴的医学分支。]

Alan and the other campers sat around the fire chewing meat chops. It would be Alan's first night in a tent, and he was excited but a little nervous.
As they ate, the conservation officer spoke,“Much of the wildlife in this area comes out only at night. So after supper, let's start a night watch. Volunteers will take turns to stay down here by the fire, away from the tents. Those who take part will get a chance to see a world that many of you never knew existed.”
Alan's stomach tightened. Then he heard the officer continue, “There are no dangerous animals this close to Cape Town. Any volunteers?”
A toughlooking kid with red hair muttered something about needing a good night's sleep. Another boy spoke up,“I'll take a shift.” The kid who'd sat next to Alan on the bus volunteered. Alan sat tight. Then one of the girls raised her hand with a giggle. Alan frowned. If a girl could do it, he could, too. He volunteered.
A few more kids raised their hands and then the officer explained, “This is how it works. When the rest of you go to bed in a tent, the first watcher takes his or her place by the fire. The duty of watcher is to keep the fire going gently. After thirty minutes, he or she wakes the next person.”
Alan heard his voice asking, “Are you sure it's absolutely safe?”
The officer looked at him. “The danger is minimal. We wouldn't have taken you here otherwise. Do you still want to volunteer?” Alan nodded but felt uneasy.
Earlier that day, the officer had challenged the campers to spot animal tracks along the river. That was fun. But being alone in the dark was not. Alan's flashlight was already fading to a dim glow because he had used it too often. Looking around, Alan thought he saw a large bird swooping (俯冲) and wondered if it was an owl. He had seen small paw prints in the sand by the river. Was the owl hunting for the creature that had made them?

[参考范文]
Hearing a noise, Alan froze, feeling something was there in the darkness. A ripple of fear crept up on him as he cast a glance there. Heart beating wildly, Alan made his way to the noise, with both of his legs trembling uncontrollably. A closer look convinced him that it was only a rabbit, which quickly disappeared in the dark. In relief, he felt the gentle breeze rubbing his face. The moon shedding its silver light on the woods, Alan was greeted by the sound of birds and insects. Enveloped by fragrant air, he felt as if in the wonderland.
The next morning, the officer asked for reports. Other campers bragged about their adventure in the dark—how they ran into some “horrible” creatures and bravely scared them off. The officer, wearing a doubtful look, offered no comments. When it was Alan's turn, he told the truth that there were no scary animals but breathtaking scenery to be explored. A smile blossomed on the officer's face. That was exactly what the camping was all about. Only after one overcame the fear in his own heart could he embrace the real beauty of nature.
