Passage4 （2024·辽宁锦州·一模）Defeating Daniil Medvedev in New York on Sunday, Djokovic, one of the greatest tennis player, bagging 24 Grand Slam (大满贯) singles titles, equalized the record held by Australian Margaret Court, the same number of singles titles in the all-time count. With the victory, Djokovic became the oldest US Open men’s singles champion in the Open Era. In total, he has 10 Australian Opens, seven Wimbledons, four US Opens and three Roland Garros titles, making him the only man to win all four majors at least three times. “When I realized that, I started to dream new dreams and set new goals. I never imagined that I would be here talking about 24 Slams,” he said afterwards. Djokovic reached all finals in the Grand Slams in 2023, and the only loss was at Wimbledon, when Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, 20, brought home the champion after an intense battle lasting four hours and 43 minutes. Djokovic, at 36, shows few signs of losing physical edge. He stays healthy, keeps exceptional skills and always desires to win more. Capturing his first Grand Slam in 2008, Djokovic bagged half of his 24 major titles after he turned 30. “One of the biggest lessons I have learned probably mentally throughout my career is that even if you find a formula (方案) that works, it’s not a guarantee, and actually most likely it’s not going to work the next year, so I keep reinventing myself and always trying to find better ways to win,” said Djokovic. For Djokovic, who always gets tough when the going gets tough, 24 is just a number that he can go beyond. “I’ll continue to prioritize Grand Slams as my most important tournaments and where I want to play the best tennis. That will stay the same in the next season, or I don’t know how many more seasons I have in my legs,” he added, “So, let’s see.” 4．What does the underlined word “equalized” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．Set. B．Broke. C．Levelled. D．Approached. 5．What can we know about Djokovic according to the passage? A．He won 12 Grand Slams in his thirties. B．He won all the finals in the Grand Slams in 2023. C．He attached the same importance to all the matches. D．He is the oldest men’s singles champion in the open era. 6．What seems the “secret” of Djokovic’s great achievement? A．Losing physical edge. B．Attending more Grand Slams. C．Following a good formula. D．Finding flexible and proper strategies. 7．Which of the following can best describe Djokovic? A．Confident and emotional. B．Ambitious and devoted. C．Aggressive and stubborn. D．Enthusiastic and generous.

Passage6 （2024·山东·三模）According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), hundreds of marine (海洋的) species across the world come under endangered and critically endangered categories. Some of the endangered and recognizable marine species are named here. Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle The Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle, also known as the Atlantic Ridley Sea Turtle, is endangered as the rarest and smallest sea turtle. Distributed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Atlantic seaboard, they gather off the coast in northeastern Mexico and come ashore in large groups to lay eggs every year. As marine reptiles (爬行动物), they are threatened by oil spills, lack of food and marine pollution. Vaquita As a rare marine mammal, Vaquita is on the edge of extinction only a half-century after its first sighting. Extensive fishing in the Gulf of California has endangered this marine species, resulting in a gradual drop in population since the 1940s. According to reports, there are only a dozen of these marine mammals left in the world since the percentage of decline in their population was as much as 90% since 2011. Whale Fin Whale is the second-largest mammal on the planet after Blue Whale and it is also a victim of hunting. According to estimates, the global population of Fin Whale ranges from below 100,000 to around 119,000. Humpback Whale, another whale species, has also been listed as an endangered marine species. Before the introduction of the whaling moratorium (暂停) in 1966, the species was hunted for its fur, while the population dropped by 90%. Currently, around 2,500 Humpback Whales survive in the world. Hawaiian Monk Seal A native of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Hawaiian Monk Seal is one of the earless seals who live on warm beaches, unlike other seals. According to recent research, only 1,400 Hawaiian Monk Seals remain on the Islands. These seals are mainly threatened by predators like tiger sharks. Besides, other reasons like habitat loss and food limitation also contribute to their critical situation. 1．Why do Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles land on the beach in large groups? A．To nest. B．To reproduce. C．To avoid attack. D．To hunt foods. 2．What is the major threat to Hawaiian Monk Seal? A．Global warming. B．Lack of food. C．Natural enemies.

Despite being found in distant corners of the world, we’re a tight-knit family that makes an effort to stay close and keep in touch. New Year has always been a special time for us and a chance for us all to come together, no matter where in the world we might be. My aunt Samantha, known affectionately by everyone in the family as Mantha, loved New Year and always went out of her way to make it cosy and magical for everyone around her. Mantha was kind, fun and full of energy so it wasn’t hard to get into the New Year spirit when she was around. This year was no exception. Mantha drove three hours from her house in Bournemouth to visit everyone two weeks before New Year and to drop off presents to her friends still in the area. We chatted merrily about our plans, laughed at how organized Mantha was — presents already bought and wrapped and the freezer full ahead of the big day — and kissed goodbye when it was time to leave. So just several days before New Year, when Mantha’s son called us saying Samantha had passed away suddenly at home, none of us could quite believe it. I’d only been messaging her the day before, sharing voice notes like we always liked to do. Mantha had had a blood clot (血块) that had unfortunately travelled to her lung and despite the paramedic’s best efforts, they were unable to save my beloved, fun, wonderful aunt. So close to New Year, none of us felt like celebrating and we decided we’d have a quiet day at home, surrounded by family. The silence lasted until my sister-in-law, Vera, told us about some colleagues of hers who’d just arrived in the UK far away from friends and family. And they were eager to experience a proper English New Year. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Hearing this, we were in a dilemma. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the day finally came, we welcomed them into our house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题05阅读理解应用文 2024年高考真题 Passage1 【新课标Ⅰ卷】HABITAT RESTORATION TEAM Help restore and protect Marin's natural areas from the Marin Headlands to Bolinas Ridge.

With the victory, Djokovic became the oldest US Open men’s singles champion in the Open Era. In total, he has 10 Australian Opens, seven Wimbledons, four US Opens and three Roland Garros titles, making him the only man to win all four majors at least three times. “When I realized that, I started to dream new dreams and set new goals. I never imagined that I would be here talking about 24 Slams,” he said afterwards. Djokovic reached all finals in the Grand Slams in 2023, and the only loss was at Wimbledon, when Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, 20, brought home the champion after an intense battle lasting four hours and 43 minutes. Djokovic, at 36, shows few signs of losing physical edge. He stays healthy, keeps exceptional skills and always desires to win more. Capturing his first Grand Slam in 2008, Djokovic bagged half of his 24 major titles after he turned 30. “One of the biggest lessons I have learned probably mentally throughout my career is that even if you find a formula (方案) that works, it’s not a guarantee, and actually most likely it’s not going to work the next year, so I keep reinventing myself and always trying to find better ways to win,” said Djokovic. For Djokovic, who always gets tough when the going gets tough, 24 is just a number that he can go beyond. “I’ll continue to prioritize Grand Slams as my most important tournaments and where I want to play the best tennis. That will stay the same in the next season, or I don’t know how many more seasons I have in my legs,” he added, “So, let’s see.” 4．What does the underlined word “equalized” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．Set. B．Broke. C．Levelled. D．Approached. 5．What can we know about Djokovic according to the passage? A．He won 12 Grand Slams in his thirties. B．He won all the finals in the Grand Slams in 2023. C．He attached the same importance to all the matches. D．He is the oldest men’s singles champion in the open era. 6．What seems the “secret” of Djokovic’s great achievement? A．Losing physical edge. B．Attending more Grand Slams. C．Following a good formula. D．Finding flexible and proper strategies. 7．Which of the following can best describe Djokovic? A．Confident and emotional. B．Ambitious and devoted. C．Aggressive and stubborn. D．Enthusiastic and generous. 【答案】4．C 5．A 6．D 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是网球运动员德约科维奇在该项运动中所取得的成就以及成功的原因和未来的展望。 4．词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“Defeating Daniil Medvedev in New York on Sunday, Djokovic, one of the greatest tennis player, bagging 24 Grand Slam (大满贯) singles titles(周日，德约科维奇在纽约击败了丹尼尔·梅德韦杰夫，这位最伟大的网球运动员之一，获得了24个大满贯单打冠军)”可知，德约科维奇是最伟大的网球运动员之一，获得了24个大满贯，结合下文中的“the record held by Australian Margaret Court, the same number of singles titles in the all-time count.(澳大利亚人玛格丽特·考特保持的记录，在历史上获得单打冠军的次数相同。)”可知，此处讲述的是德约科维奇大满贯获得的单打冠军的次数与澳大利亚人玛格丽特·考特保持的记录数相同，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“等同于”意义相近。故选C项。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Capturing his first Grand Slam in 2008, Djokovic bagged half of his 24 major titles after he turned 30.(2008年，德约科维奇获得了他的第一个大满贯，在他30岁之后，他获得了24个大满贯中的一半。)”可知，德约科维奇获得了24个大满贯冠军，其中30岁以后获得了其中的一半，由此可知，在他三十多岁获得了12个大满贯冠军。故选A项。 6．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的““One of the biggest lessons I have learned probably mentally throughout my career is that even if you find a formula (方案) that works, it’s not a guarantee, and actually most likely it’s not going to work the next year, so I keep reinventing myself and always trying to find better ways to win,” said Djokovic.(德约科维奇说：“在我的整个职业生涯中，我学到的最重要的一课可能是，即使你找到了一个有效的方案，也不能保证它是有效的，实际上很可能明年它也不会有效，所以我不断地改造自己，总是试图找到更好的方法来赢得比赛。”)”可知，德约科维奇认为，任何一种有效的方案都不能保证以后还会有效，所以他在不断的改变试图找到更好的方法赢得比赛，由此可知，德约科维奇成功的秘诀在于寻找灵活和适当的方案。故选D项。 7．推理判断题。根据尾段中的““I’ll continue to prioritize Grand Slams as my most important tournaments and where I want to play the best tennis. That will stay the same in the next season, or I don’t know how many more seasons I have in my legs,” he added, “So, let’s see.”(“我将继续把大满贯作为我最重要的比赛，我想在那里打出最好的网球。下个赛季会保持不变，或者我不知道我的腿还能打几个赛季，”他补充道，“所以，让我们看看。”)”可知，德约科维奇将把大满贯作为最重要的比赛，希望在那里打出最好的网球，说明他很有雄心，同时他表示下个赛季保持不变，尽管不知道自己还能打几个赛季，但是他仍旧让人们拭目以待，由此可知，他非常的热衷于网球，由以上可知，德约科维奇是一个有雄心且热衷于网球的人。故选B项。 Passage5 （2024·重庆·三模）ONE CEREMONY, SEVERAL FIRSTS The Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games will be bold, original and unique.

Some of the endangered and recognizable marine species are named here. Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle The Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle, also known as the Atlantic Ridley Sea Turtle, is endangered as the rarest and smallest sea turtle. Distributed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Atlantic seaboard, they gather off the coast in northeastern Mexico and come ashore in large groups to lay eggs every year. As marine reptiles (爬行动物), they are threatened by oil spills, lack of food and marine pollution. Vaquita As a rare marine mammal, Vaquita is on the edge of extinction only a half-century after its first sighting. Extensive fishing in the Gulf of California has endangered this marine species, resulting in a gradual drop in population since the 1940s. According to reports, there are only a dozen of these marine mammals left in the world since the percentage of decline in their population was as much as 90% since 2011. Whale Fin Whale is the second-largest mammal on the planet after Blue Whale and it is also a victim of hunting. According to estimates, the global population of Fin Whale ranges from below 100,000 to around 119,000. Humpback Whale, another whale species, has also been listed as an endangered marine species. Before the introduction of the whaling moratorium (暂停) in 1966, the species was hunted for its fur, while the population dropped by 90%. Currently, around 2,500 Humpback Whales survive in the world. Hawaiian Monk Seal A native of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Hawaiian Monk Seal is one of the earless seals who live on warm beaches, unlike other seals. According to recent research, only 1,400 Hawaiian Monk Seals remain on the Islands. These seals are mainly threatened by predators like tiger sharks. Besides, other reasons like habitat loss and food limitation also contribute to their critical situation. 1．Why do Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles land on the beach in large groups? A．To nest. B．To reproduce. C．To avoid attack. D．To hunt foods. 2．What is the major threat to Hawaiian Monk Seal? A．Global warming. B．Lack of food. C．Natural enemies. D．Habitat pollution. 3．Which of the following is the most critically endangered species? A．Vaquita. B．Fin Whale. C．Humpback Whale. D．Hawaiian Monk Seal. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些濒临灭绝的海洋物种的情况，旨在引起人们对海洋生物保护的关注。 1．细节理解题。根据Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle下面第二段的“Distributed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and U. S. Atlantic seaboard, they gather off the coast in northeastern Mexico and come ashore in large groups to lay eggs every year.(它们分布在墨西哥湾和美国大西洋沿岸，每年都会聚集在墨西哥东北部海岸，成群结队地上岸产卵)”可知，该地的海龟成群结队来到海滩上是为了繁衍后代。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“According to recent research, only 1,400 Hawaiian Monk Seals remain on the Islands. These seals are mainly threatened by predators like tiger sharks. Besides, other reasons like habitat loss and food limitation also contribute to their critical situation.(根据最近的研究，岛上只剩下1400只夏威夷蒙克海豹。这些海豹主要受到虎鲨等捕食者的威胁。此外，栖息地丧失和食物限制等其他原因也导致了它们的危急状况) ”可知，夏威夷蒙克海豹的主要威胁来自于它们的天敌。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据Vaquita下面第二段的“According to reports, there are only a dozen of these marine mammals left in the world since the percentage of decline in their population was as much as 90% since 2011.(据报道，自2011年以来，这些海洋哺乳动物的数量下降了90%，现在世界上只剩下十几只)”可知，Vaquita是最濒危的物种。故选A。 Passage7 （2024·浙江杭州·模拟预测）Summer may well be the favourite season of classical music lovers, with numerous festivals spanning all genres and composers taking place worldwide.

Despite being found in distant corners of the world, we’re a tight-knit family that makes an effort to stay close and keep in touch. New Year has always been a special time for us and a chance for us all to come together, no matter where in the world we might be. My aunt Samantha, known affectionately by everyone in the family as Mantha, loved New Year and always went out of her way to make it cosy and magical for everyone around her. Mantha was kind, fun and full of energy so it wasn’t hard to get into the New Year spirit when she was around. This year was no exception. Mantha drove three hours from her house in Bournemouth to visit everyone two weeks before New Year and to drop off presents to her friends still in the area. We chatted merrily about our plans, laughed at how organized Mantha was — presents already bought and wrapped and the freezer full ahead of the big day — and kissed goodbye when it was time to leave. So just several days before New Year, when Mantha’s son called us saying Samantha had passed away suddenly at home, none of us could quite believe it. I’d only been messaging her the day before, sharing voice notes like we always liked to do. Mantha had had a blood clot (血块) that had unfortunately travelled to her lung and despite the paramedic’s best efforts, they were unable to save my beloved, fun, wonderful aunt. So close to New Year, none of us felt like celebrating and we decided we’d have a quiet day at home, surrounded by family. The silence lasted until my sister-in-law, Vera, told us about some colleagues of hers who’d just arrived in the UK far away from friends and family. And they were eager to experience a proper English New Year. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Hearing this, we were in a dilemma. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the day finally came, we welcomed them into our house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hearing this, we were in a dilemma. We were still immersed in enormous grief of aunt Mantha’s passing away. However, it was cruel to decline the burning anticipation of Vera’s colleagues. Just when we didn’t know what to do, Mantha’s kind smile popped into my head. I realized Mantha would have wanted us to open our doors and give them a cosy and magical New Year to remember, just like she did to everyone before. At the last minute, we dashed around shops, adding to the trolly presents, extra bottles of drinks and snacks. When the day finally came, we welcomed them into our house. To give our new guests the full New Year experience, we tried hard to put our pain aside. We opened presents together, ate a fancy dinner and played wonderful games. All these didn’t ease the pain of Mantha’s absence but connecting with strangers and sharing our culture helped us get through the day. The first New Year without Mantha was difficult but it took on a deeper, more special meaning. It came from being together, putting aside our differences and showing one another love. 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开。作者的家庭关系非常亲密，每年新年他们都会欢聚在一起，尤其是曼萨阿姨，她喜欢新年，总是不辞辛苦地让身边的人过得既舒适又神奇，但是这一年的新年之前，曼萨阿姨却因病去世了，这让作者和家人们陷入深深的悲伤，打算在一起安静地度过新年。这时嫂子维拉说她的一些同事刚刚远离朋友和家人来到英国。他们渴望体验一个真正的英式新年，左右为难后作者和家人们决定像曼萨阿姨一样给这些新客人们一个精彩的新年体验。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到这些，我们左右为难。”可知，第一段可描写大家沉浸曼萨阿姨去世的巨大悲痛，但是在想到曼萨阿姨平日的和善，作者和家人决定打开门，给薇拉的同事们一个温馨而神奇的新年。 ②由第二段首句内容“当这一天终于到来的时候，我们欢迎他们来到我们家。”可知，第二段可描写作者与家人和客人们一起度过了一个精彩的新年。 2. 续写线索：为难——想到曼萨阿姨——做出决定——欢度新年——度过悲伤——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：decline/turn down/refuse/reject ②突然想到：pop into one’s head/spring to one’s mind ③缓解：ease/relieve 情绪类 ①悲痛：grief/sadness/sorrow/distress ②热切的：burning/eager/keen/earnest 【点睛】【高分句型1】Just when we didn’t know what to do, Mantha’s kind smile popped into my head.
