Sunhats, backpacks, sneakers and trekking poles—these are the day­to­day must­haves of the family. This East­meets­West couple started traveling while their younger son was still in nappies in 2003.Most of their trips, most of which are far from the hot spots recommended by travel guidebooks, seem more rigorous than leisurely — heritage study in the Mongolian deserts, a 53­kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one­day climb of three English summits and a six­day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. “Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncomfortable, but there's a feel­good factor when you pass a test of some kind，” Lindesay wrote in the family's newly published travel memoir Pages of Discovery. Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but that experience of the world outside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, political structures, and religious beliefs, is the real testing ground. Children in this international family did not have the same pressure to perform on school tests, but they had “homework” on the road. Wu asked her sons to write travel diaries, collect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips. She says such habits, though they might not directly improve test scores, will pay_dividends in later life. These experiences certainly shaped their sons' characters and influenced their chosen study at university. One read world history, the other international relations. The two brothers also share an interest in historical monuments, and the Great Wall in particular. They are now planning to follow in their father's footsteps with a new 4,500­km hike on the Great Wall. “My parents view the world as a big classroom, and my brother and I are the biggest beneficiaries，” Jimmy says. 4．Which of the following best describes their trips across the world? A．Hard and risky. B．Unique yet stressful. C．Challenging and educational. D．Leisurely yet rewarding. 5．What can we infer about the couple from the text? A．They think little of school education. B．They believe travel provides real education. C．They ask their sons to follow their career path. D．They require their sons to perform well on school tests. 6．What do the underlined words “pay dividends” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Bring advantages. B．Pay a price. C．Improve scores. D．Make mistakes. 7．What does the family's story tell us? A．Good company on the road is the shortest cut. B．Good habits formed at youth make all the difference. C．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. D．It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了William Lindesay是著名的长城专家和自然环境保护主义者，他和妻子带着孩子走遍世界各地，用实际行动践行了“读万卷书不如行万里路”。 4．C　[细节理解题。根据第二段中“Most of their trips, most of which are far from the hot spots recommended by travel guidebooks, seem more rigorous than leisurely — heritage study in the Mongolian deserts, a 53­kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one­day climb of three English summits and a six­day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.”和第三段中“Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncomfortable”可知，他们的很多旅行是具有挑战性的；根据倒数第二段中“These experiences certainly shaped their sons' characters and influenced their chosen study at university. One read world history, the other international relations. The two brothers also share an interest in historical monuments, and the Great Wall in particular.”可知，这些旅行经历对孩子来说有教育意义。] 5．B　[推理判断题。根据第四段“Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but that experience of the world outside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, political structures, and religious beliefs, is the real testing ground.”和第五段中“Wu asked her sons to write travel diaries, collect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips. She says such habits, though they might not directly improve test scores, will pay dividends in later life.”可知，这对夫妇认为旅行能提供真正的教育。] 6．A　[词义猜测题。根据第五段中“Wu asked her sons to write travel diaries, collect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips.”可知，Wu让儿子这样做应该是对他们有好处，结合画线词所在句中“She says such habits, though they might not directly improve test scores ”中though表达的让步语气可知，此处指这样的习惯虽然可能不会直接提高考试成绩，但会在以后的生活中带来好处，pay dividends意为“带来好处”，] 7．D　[推理判断题。根据第四段“Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but that experience of the world outside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, political structures, and religious beliefs, is the real testing ground.”和最后一段中“My parents view the world as a big classroom, and my brother and I are the biggest beneficiaries”可知，Lindesay非常重视课堂外的学习，让孩子们在旅行中受益，故这家人的故事告诉我们“读万卷书不如行万里路”。] C Because the commercial Internet has been developed with so little regard for privacy, tech companies have been able to turn personal data into considerable profits, raising billions of dollars off their ability to collect and sell information about anyone who has wandered within shouting distance of their software. This week, Google announced a step in the right direction—but not a huge step, nor one that will stop Google from continuing to collect immense amounts of personal data. At issue is how online companies track Internet users as they browse (浏览) from site to site online, typically through cookies (information that a website leaves in your computer so that the website will recognize you when you use it again). The most harmful version, “third­party” cookies, is the web alternative of a company posting security guards across the Internet to monitor what you do, even when you're on other companies' sites. Google declared in a blog post Wednesday that it would no longer use or support third­party cookies, nor would it create or use any other technology that tracks individual users across the web. Given that Google is a main supplier of online advertising technology, its change in approach will impact far and wide. That's welcome news, although with huge amounts of warning. As Lee Tien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation noted, third­party cookies were already on_the_retreat，with Apple and other makers of popular web browsers moving to block them. Meanwhile, Google, Facebook and other Big Tech companies continue to collect personal information in large quantities from people who use their sites and services through first­party cookies and similar techniques. The concerns about personal data collection are the same whether it's being collected through first­party or third­party techniques, said Michelle Richardson of the Center for Democracy and Technology. “Companies may use the information to discriminate among Internet users, offering different goods, services and even prices to different users.” Instead of helping advertisers track individuals, Google says, it is improving a technology that assigns users namelessly to large groups with common interests. That's an improvement, even though it too may be at risk of abuse. But why do any form of tracking at all? Privacy advocates say pitches (兜售) can be targeted effectively by basing them on where the user is at the moment, not where he or she has browsed previously online. Ultimately, lawmakers are going to have to lay down regulations giving people far more control over whether and how personal information is used online. Ideally the federal (联邦的) government will set a strong floor under online privacy protections, but until then it will be up to state lawmakers or voters to act, as this state has done with its groundbreaking online privacy laws. It's good to see Google move the ball forward, but there's much farther to go. 8．What does the underlined phrase “on the retreat” in Para. 4 most probably mean? A．Exposed.　　　　　 B．Removed. C．Emerging. D．Fading. 9．It can be learned from the declaration that Google______ . A．is developing new technologies to stop data collection B．refuses to work with companies tracking privacy C．intends to abandon its advertising technologies D．resolves to stop the use of third­party cookies 10．From the passage we can know that first­party cookies ________ . A．are still collecting personal information B．are blocked by big companies like Apple C．are mainly used by advertising companies D．are less concerning than third­party cookies 11．What is the writer's attitude towards Google's new move? A．It is less satisfactory than expected. B．It needs to be more forceful to be effective. C．It will accelerate the disappearance of cookies. D．It has driven lawmakers to make new regulations. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了本周谷歌宣布停止使用第三方cookies，这是朝着正确方向迈出的一步——但这并不是很大的一步，也不会阻止谷歌继续收集大量的个人数据。 8．D　[词义猜测题。根据第四段中“As Lee Tien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation noted, third­party cookies were already on the retreat, with Apple and other makers of popular web browsers moving to block them. ”由“苹果和其他流行浏览器的制造商开始屏蔽它们”可猜测划线短语on the retreat意为“衰退，逐渐消失”。] 9．D　[细节理解题。根据第三段中“Google declared in a blog post Wednesday that it would no longer use or support third­party cookies, nor would it create or use any other technology that tracks individual users across the web.”可知，谷歌决心停止使用第三方cookies。] 10．A　[细节理解题。根据第五段中“The concerns about personal data collection are the same whether it's being collected through first­party or third­party techniques, said Michelle Richardson of the Center for Democracy and Technology. ”可知，第一方cookies仍然在收集个人信息。] 11．B　[观点态度题。根据最后一段中“ It's good to see Google move the ball forward, but there's much farther to go. ”可知，作者认为谷歌的新举措需要更加有力的推进才能有效。] D (2024·福建高考模拟)Technology seems to discourage slow reading. Reading on screens tires eyes easily. So online writing is more skimmable than print. The neuroscientist Mary Walt argued this “new norm” of skim reading is producing “an invisible, dramatic transformation” in how readers process words. And brains now favor rapid absorption of information, rather than skills developed by deeper reading, like critical analysis. We shouldn't overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. “Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline, ” The American author Selvin wrote. “But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ” Yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. First, it means there's more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing means rapid release and response. Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection. Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a source of personal achievement.But this advocacy emphasizes “enthusiastic” or “eager” reading — neither suggest slow absorption. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he's done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water. The human need for this kind of deep reading is too determined for any new technology to destroy. We often assume technological change can't be stopped, so older media are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn't killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly­formed ideas and carefully­chosen words. Even in a fast­moving age, there is time for slow reading. 12．What is the author's attitude towards Selvin's opinion? A．Favorable.　　　 B．Critical. C．Doubtful. D．Objective. 13．Which statement would the author probably agree with? A．Advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading. B．Digital writing and reading tends to ignore careful reflection. C．We should be aware of the impact skimming has on the brain. D．The number of Internet readers declines due to technology. 14．Why is “swimmer” mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．To demonstrate how to immerse oneself in thought. B．To stress swimming differs from reading. C．To show slow reading is better than fast reading. D．To illustrate what slow reading is like. 15．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Slow Reading is Here to Stay B．Technology Prevents Slow Reading C．Reflections on Deep Reading D．The Wonder of Deep Reading [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。作者从各角度就科技对阅读的影响阐述了自己的观点并推崇慢速阅读。 12．A　[观点态度题。由文章第二段“We shouldn't overplay this danger. ...The American author Selvin wrote. ‘But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ’”可知，作者是赞成Selvin的观点的，诗歌就是注意力持续时间短但文化丰富的深度阅读，所以对其投入的时间少，这种担忧是没有必要的。] 13．B　[推理判断题。由文章第三段“Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection”可知，作者认为在线写作和阅读往往会忽视仔细思考。] 14．D　[推理判断题。由文章第四段“To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he's done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.”可知，一个游泳运动员不再计算自己在游泳池里游了多少圈，只是享受自己的身体在水中的感觉和运动，作者提到游泳运动员是为了说明慢速阅读是什么样的。] 15．A　[主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn't killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly­formed ideas and carefully­chosen words. Even in a fast­moving age, there is time for slow reading.”以及上文可知，作者就科技对阅读的影响阐述了自己的观点并认为在快速发展的时代中，我们仍然可以享受慢速阅读。所以A项Slow Reading is Here to Stay(慢读还是存在的)符合文意。] Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2024·河南郑州市高三模拟)“Looking up, I find the moon bright; Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.” When Ifeoma Gladys from Nigeria, first read the line from Li Bai's Thoughts on a Tranquil Night, the girl felt the poet's experiences and emotions (情感). “I can't help but feel homesick，” said Gladys, 22, who is studying Chinese Language and Literature at Southwest University. From then on, the Nigerian girl fell in love with ancient Chinese poetry. ____1____For example, in Li Bai's poem Hard Is the Way of the World, Gladys felt the ambition and faith of the poet. While reading Cao Cao's A Short Song, she learned that life is short and thus we should let go of the difficulties we couldn't overcome and value the present. ____2____In her eyes, it is how it can travel over the mountains and spread from the ancient past to the present, but never change its original intention, keeping its truth and emotional weight. “This is what many popular novels and online articles are unable to do，” said the Nigerian girl. ____3____For example, Li Bai wrote, “Heaven has made us talents; we're not made in vain. A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again.” About 1,000 years later, Goethe, a German poet, would say something quite similar—____4____“Behind the beautiful poems, I discovered the wisdom of the Chinese people, the charm of Chinese culture, and the worldwide basis of Chinese culture as well，” said Gladys. Now, the girl hopes to become a professional translator.____5____ A．She learned Chinese culture and wisdom through it. B．What is the most attractive part of ancient Chinese poetry? C．She gradually found foreign poems are different to Chinese poems. D．How can ancient Chinese poetry attract so many people around the world? E．The person born with a talent is meant to use it and will find great happiness. F．She wants to promote Chinese culture and connect China with the whole world. G．But she's more surprised how the cultural quality of Chinese poetry can reach audiences worldwide. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了尼日利亚女孩Ifeoma Gladys喜欢上中国的古诗，并从古诗中了解到了中国的文化和古人的智慧。现在她打算成为一名专业的翻译，推广中国文化。 1．A　[根据上文“From then on, the Nigerian girl fell in love with ancient Chinese poetry. ”和下文“For example, in Li Bai's poem Hard Is the Way of the World, Gladys felt the ambition and faith of the poet. While reading Cao Cao's A Short Song, she learned that life is short and thus we should let go of the difficulties we couldn't overcome and value the present.”可知，尼日利亚女孩Ifeoma Gladys爱上了中国故事，并从一些诗中了解到了中国的文化和人生哲理。A项“She learned Chinese culture and wisdom through it.(她从中学到了中国的文化和智慧。)”符合题意。] 2．B　[根据下文“In her eyes, it is how it can travel over the mountains and spread from the ancient past to the present, but never change its original intention, keeping its truth and emotional weight.”可推知，上文提问Ifeoma Gladys觉得中国古诗中最吸引她的是什么。B项“What is the most attractive part of ancient Chinese poetry？(中国古代诗歌中最吸引人的部分是什么？)”符合题意。] 3．G　[根据下文“For example, Li Bai wrote, ‘Heaven has made us talents; we're not made in vain.A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again.’About 1,000 years later, Goethe, a German poet, would say something quite similar ”可知，让Ifeoma Gladys感到意外的是中国诗歌所表现出的东西在晚些时候的西方也出现过。G项“But she's more surprised how the cultural quality of Chinese poetry can reach audiences worldwide.(但更令她惊讶的是，中国诗歌的文化品质能够使世界各地的人都明白。)”符合题意。] 4．E　[根据上文“For example, Li Bai wrote, ‘Heaven has made us talents; we're not made in vain. A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again.’About 1,000 years later, Goethe, a German poet, would say something quite similar ”可推知，空处应是说歌德说的那句话在李白的诗歌中所相似的那部分内容是什么。E项“The person born with a talent is meant to use it and will find great happiness.(有天赋的人注定要利用它，并会找到巨大的幸福。)”符合题意。] 5．F　[空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“Now, the girl hopes to become a professional translator.”可推知，下文应陈述她想成为翻译的目的。F项“She wants to promote Chinese culture and connect China with the whole world.(她想推广中国文化，将中国与全世界联系起来。)”符合题意。] 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
