These books examine the secret to that balance, making complex concepts accessible to readers just beginning their scientific journeys. The Elephant By Jenni Desmond.Illustration: by the author. 2018. The caring nature,intelligence,and incredible size of African and Asian elephants shine through in Desmond’s magnificent presentation of these mammals. Her illustrations are showstoppers, and the text includes general characteristics and habits. Desmond’s writing,precise and inviting, calls attention to the elephant’s role as a keystone species in the ecosystem and humans’ roles in elephants’ declining numbers. Beavers By Rachel Poliquin. Illustration: by Nicholas John Frith. 2018. This first in the Superpower Field Guide series, about the natural world’s resident superheroes, offers effervescent examinations of a beaver’s super characteristics. Poliquin explains in simple but exact language how these “wet land warriors” chew down trees,build dams and lodges,and most awesome of all, function as a keystone species to create entire new ecosystems. The Wolves Are Back By Jean Craighead George. Illustration: by Wendell Minor. 2008. As George follows one wolf s growth from pup to adult, the emphasis is not as much on the wolves and their habits but on how their presence has changed the ecosystem of Yellowstone and returned its natural balance.

It was near my home on the island of Kauai—a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us. That is until a large shark came right up under me and sank his teeth into my lower leg. There had been no splashing. no noise, and I felt no pain, only great pressure on my lower body. Then I followed my instinct: I punched the shark in the face, again and again which happens to be what the expert advice, until the shark released me. As I swam back into shore, I felt my lower right leg spasming(痉挛). When I looked down, I realized it was gone. The shark had bit my lower leg off. My friends rushed to my aid, and rushed me to hospital. It was another day before the “fog” lifted, at which point I opened my eyes and realized I was in the hospital—a below-the-knee amputee(截肢). For the next few bedridden weeks, I spent time with my family, and considered the future. As soon as I was given the OK by my doctors, I did what many of us might consider unthinkable: I started riding the waves again. In fact, my first time back was near the site of his attack. I was unshaken and curious—Was it because of the tides? The phase of the moon? I also recalled that the morning of the attack the water had a fishy smell. Was that what attracted the shark?

Passage7. 【2024·江苏连云港·一模】 Rita Moreno is one of the very few performers to EGOT: to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony award. But come a little closer, and Moreno’s is another kind of immigrant (移民的) story. She was a teen when MGM (米高梅电影公司) signed her in the 1950s. Major studios were still dominated by the men who’d run them for decades. They had her change her name. While recognizing her talent, they didn’t know what to do with a Latin girl. Moreno played small parts, including a girl from India and a Burmese (缅甸的) woman. What should have been her big break came when she was cast as Anita in West Side Story. She’d remember Anita as “the very first Hispanic (西班牙的) character I had ever played who had dignity, a sense of self-respect. She became my role model. ” The night Moreno won the Oscar, the Hispanic community across the USA broke out into cheers. But that career turn didn’t happen. Instead, she received more offers to play what she described as “dusky servants”. The racial and ethnic prejudice was still at play. “It broke my heart, ”she says. Rita Moreno didn’t make another movie for seven years. Then began her new act. Holding to her mother’s philosophy — Never give in, never quit, keep on moving — she survived professionally during those years with work on the London stage and in nightclubs, slowly reemerging on film and television, and eventually she earned herself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Peabody Career Achievement Award. But even as she continues to perform, her work continues off the screen, speaking out for and representing the Latin community. “I’m now known as la pionera, or the pioneer,” Moreno says. “I really don’t think of myself as a role model. But it turns out that I am, to a lot of the Hispanic community. Not just in show business, but in life.

Passage8. 【2024·江西吉安·一模】 As a mushroom scientist, you are vastly outnumbered, with estimates suggesting that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌), the majority of which are yet to be identified. However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries. One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer. In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots. In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon deeper investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is a rare find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. 24.What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1? A．They keep close track of the growth of fungi. B．They help identify new species of mushroom. C．They replace professional scientists in the field. D．They classify the majority of mushroom species. 25．What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms? A．His desire for knowledge. B．His curiosity about nature. C．The beauty of nearby mushrooms. D．The appeal of outdoor photography. 26．Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3? A．Skilled and observant. B．Focused and flexible. C．Talented and optimistic. D．Organized and responsible. 27．Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms? A．To improve his photography techniques. B．To capture dynamic life in an artistic way. C．To collect biological data for deeper research. D．To use a new approach to scientific studies. Passage9. 【2024·江苏扬州·模拟预测】 Tessa Lidstone remembers the last meals she cooked before she had to close her restaurant Box-E for the first lockdown. “Everything was slipping away and beyond our control.” With the restaurant closed, Lidstone got to thinking about how other people might be coping. “I felt isolated,” she says, “but I was so lucky: I had my husband and kids with me. I thought about all the people without a support network and how awful it must be to not have contact with anyone.” Lidstone saw a callout from a collective of Bristol restaurants called the Bristol Food Union. They were looking for volunteers to help put together boxes of emergency food for the elderly living alone. “I’d love doing that to give my life purpose,” says Lidstone. “It was originally going to be for two weeks. But it just grew from there.” In her first week, Lidstone put together boxes for 100 people: pasta, bread and milk, but also fruit and vegetables. By the second week, she was organizing packages for 250 people. The government provided funding and most suppliers were more than willing to help. “They were so generous,” she says. “If I ordered milk, bread and butter, they’d donate fruit and vegetables as well. It meant I could make the money go further.” Lidstone put her restaurant training to good use, creating a weekly recipe card to go in each box. She also videoed herself making the meal and posted it online. “It was basic home cooking,” she says. By week three, Lidstone was thinking bigger: “If there were any birthdays coming up, I arranged something extra for the persons.” By then, the scale of Lidstone’s operation had become a bit overwhelming. Staff from the restaurant and Lidstone’s children helped out. In all, Lidstone and her team delivered 2,500 boxes over 16 weeks. “It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by a situation,” she said, “and think you can’t do anything alone. But work together and we’ll make a difference.” 28．Why did Lidstone respond to the appeal of the Bristol Food Union? A．To turn her restaurant Box-E from losses to profits. B．To make herself feel less isolated in the lockdown. C．To help lonely old people have access to free food.

Cool air clears my mind as I walk to the kitchen, where my husband is making his morning coffee. The fire he thoughtfully started is beginning to heat the living space. By my second cup, everyone is awake. After breakfast, we begin the busy work of a rural place. Chopping (砍) wood for the stove and clearing snow off steps and pathways. Our kids are big enough to be properly helpful and find joy in the work when everyone is doing it together. Then we take a walk through the fresh snow. We discover an amazing array of animals on display in the markings that they have left. After dinner, we play cards with a lot of energy and competitive interaction. Eventually, we’ll turn off the lights and with the fire crackling (噼啪作响), cuddle (拥抱) on the couch to watch the stars through the windows before heading off to bed. Weekends at the cabin (木屋) are magical. During the break, our family constantly balances the demands of work and school. I’m subject to my watch and alarm clock. But coming to the cabin on the weekend is like entering another world. Here, I don’t need to know what time it is-sunrise and sunset, hunger and chores set our schedule. The house and the woods around it are silent and dark, except for birdsong and the moon. Life seems less pressing, and it’s easier to live in the moment without distraction. When I get up the next morning, my son is already sitting in front of the fire, staring at the flames. I sit beside him, and he leans into me, sleepy and a bit sad. “What’s up?” I ask. “I just don’t want to go home yet. I like it better here.” I know what he means. I smile and put my arms around him. “Even when we’re home, this place is always here, where it’s quiet and safe, and everyone you love has time for you.” I don’t really mean the cabin, and I think he knows that. 32．What are paragraphs 1-3 mainly about?

His mother came from a family of musicians and piano manufacturers, a fact that greatly influenced Robert’s life. His father was a physician in army, a position which required frequent foreign postings. The family stayed in various areas of East Asia for most of Robert’s youth. This experience contributed to his appreciation for cultures and mastery of several languages. Robert was a hardworking academic, collector of art and manuscripts, and translator of ancient writings. He studied and trained to become a master musician on the Chinese guqin, and eventually wrote two books on the instrument. Similarly, his skills as an artist in the traditional Chinese style and knowledge of calligraphy were unparalleled.

This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me. No one told me that it was unattainable. And whether it was my own hard-headedness or that encouragement, I did go full forward into pursuing my dream to become an astronaut,” she says. Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams. Koch studied physics and electrical engineering before joining NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center, where she contributed to the development of scientific instruments on several space missions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, she spent a year in Antarctica’s tough environment and then in other remote locations like Greenland. Unsurprisingly, she cited photography, travel, camping and climbing among her hobbies. The ultimate fulfillment (实现) of her dream came in 2013, when she was selected as an astronaut, joining a groundbreaking class with an equal number of men and women. Previously, women comprised only 17% of NASA’s astronauts. After completing training in 2015, she was assigned her first long-stay mission on the International Space Station (ISS). Her success is undeniable. As part of the Artemis II mission, scheduled for 2025, she’ll travel further than any human since Apollo, an evidence of her constant ambition. Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.”Besides, Koch also says that there’s one that should never be forgotten: “Support the people around you. Make sure that you’re thinking about the success of those around you, that you’re helping them, and together we all will achieve as much as we possibly can.” 40．What initially motivated Koch to become an astronaut? A．Her desire to push herself to the limit. B．Her early enthusiasm in space exploration. C．Her wish to reward her kindergarten teachers. D．Her ambition to change the position of women astronauts. 41．What can we infer from the passage? A．Koch invented some scientific devices. B．Koch set a record for the longest spaceflight.

It was near my home on the island of Kauai—a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us. That is until a large shark came right up under me and sank his teeth into my lower leg. There had been no splashing. no noise, and I felt no pain, only great pressure on my lower body. Then I followed my instinct: I punched the shark in the face, again and again which happens to be what the expert advice, until the shark released me. As I swam back into shore, I felt my lower right leg spasming(痉挛). When I looked down, I realized it was gone. The shark had bit my lower leg off. My friends rushed to my aid, and rushed me to hospital. It was another day before the “fog” lifted, at which point I opened my eyes and realized I was in the hospital—a below-the-knee amputee(截肢). For the next few bedridden weeks, I spent time with my family, and considered the future. As soon as I was given the OK by my doctors, I did what many of us might consider unthinkable: I started riding the waves again. In fact, my first time back was near the site of his attack. I was unshaken and curious—Was it because of the tides? The phase of the moon? I also recalled that the morning of the attack the water had a fishy smell. Was that what attracted the shark? I was determined to research sharks, and I did learn something that would change my life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around, I tell Reader’s Digest. “I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.” My unique situation as a shark survivor empowered me to give sharks a voice. I began working with the Hawaii state legislature to help pass a ban on shark-derived products.

But come a little closer, and Moreno’s is another kind of immigrant (移民的) story. She was a teen when MGM (米高梅电影公司) signed her in the 1950s. Major studios were still dominated by the men who’d run them for decades. They had her change her name. While recognizing her talent, they didn’t know what to do with a Latin girl. Moreno played small parts, including a girl from India and a Burmese (缅甸的) woman. What should have been her big break came when she was cast as Anita in West Side Story. She’d remember Anita as “the very first Hispanic (西班牙的) character I had ever played who had dignity, a sense of self-respect. She became my role model. ” The night Moreno won the Oscar, the Hispanic community across the USA broke out into cheers. But that career turn didn’t happen. Instead, she received more offers to play what she described as “dusky servants”. The racial and ethnic prejudice was still at play. “It broke my heart, ”she says. Rita Moreno didn’t make another movie for seven years. Then began her new act. Holding to her mother’s philosophy — Never give in, never quit, keep on moving — she survived professionally during those years with work on the London stage and in nightclubs, slowly reemerging on film and television, and eventually she earned herself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Peabody Career Achievement Award. But even as she continues to perform, her work continues off the screen, speaking out for and representing the Latin community. “I’m now known as la pionera, or the pioneer,” Moreno says. “I really don’t think of myself as a role model. But it turns out that I am, to a lot of the Hispanic community. Not just in show business, but in life. But that’s what happens when you’re first, right?” 20．What do we know about Moreno in Paragraph 2? A．She was an actress contracted with MGM. B．She had her future well-planned for her talent. C．She was treated as a Hispanic girl with dignity. D．She won the Oscar for acting a Burmese woman. 21．Why didn’t Moreno make movies for seven years after winning the Oscar? A．She did not receive any film offers. B．She rejected roles of racial prejudice. C．She was tired of performing on the stage. D．She focused on her stage career in nightclubs. 22．Which of the following can best describe Moreno? A．Generous and brave. B．Kind and grateful. C．Honest and trustworthy. D．Tough and determined. 23．What can we learn from Moreno’s words in the last paragraph? A．She prefers to be a role model in show business. B．She is unhappy with what happened to an actress. C．She makes a difference to the Hispanic community. D．She feels pressured about being a Hispanic pioneer. 【答案】20．A 21．B 22．D 23．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了著名演员丽塔·莫雷诺的演艺之路和对社会的影响。 20．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“She was a teen when MGM (米高梅电影公司) signed her in the 1950s. (20世纪50年代，当米高梅电影公司签下她时，她还是个十几岁的孩子)”可知，她是与米高梅电影公司签约的演员。故选A。 21．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Instead, she received more offers to play what she described as “dusky servants”.  The racial and ethnic prejudice was still at play.  “It broke my heart, ”she says.  Rita Moreno didn’t make another movie for seven years. (相反，她收到了更多的邀请，扮演她所说的“阴暗的仆人”。种族和民族偏见仍然存在。“这伤透了我的心，”她说。丽塔·莫雷诺有七年没有再拍电影了)”可知，莫雷诺在获得奥斯卡奖后的七年里都没有拍电影是因为她拒绝扮演种族偏见的角色。故选B。 22．推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Holding to her mother’s philosophy — Never give in, never quit, keep on moving — she survived professionally during those years with work on the London stage and in nightclubs, slowly reemerging on film and television, and eventually she earned herself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Peabody Career Achievement Award.

However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries. One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer. In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots. In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon deeper investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is a rare find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. 24.What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1? A．They keep close track of the growth of fungi. B．They help identify new species of mushroom. C．They replace professional scientists in the field. D．They classify the majority of mushroom species. 25．What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms? A．His desire for knowledge. B．His curiosity about nature. C．The beauty of nearby mushrooms. D．The appeal of outdoor photography. 26．Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3? A．Skilled and observant. B．Focused and flexible. C．Talented and optimistic. D．Organized and responsible. 27．Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms? A．To improve his photography techniques. B．To capture dynamic life in an artistic way. C．To collect biological data for deeper research. D．To use a new approach to scientific studies. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Taylor Lockwood，一名蘑菇爱好者和摄影师，在真菌学领域做出了重大贡献。 24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries.(然而，在发现新物种的努力中，该领域的专业人士并不孤单。一个热情的业余爱好者社区已经出现，弥合了专业人士和非专业人士之间的差距。这些业余爱好者甚至有了重大发现。)”可知，蘑菇爱好者们在探索新真菌品种方面有重大发现，故选B项。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” (1984年，泰勒·洛克伍德(Taylor Lockwood)住在加利福尼亚州的门多西诺海岸，对蘑菇产生了浓厚的兴趣。“我的小屋外面有这些神奇的蘑菇，”他说。“就好像这些蘑菇看着我说，‘泰勒，出去告诉世界我们有多漂亮。’”)”可知，小屋附近蘑菇的美让Taylor决定用相机去拍摄它们，故选C项。 26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. (在莫农加希拉国家森林，泰勒·洛克伍德(Taylor Lockwood)发现了一种不寻常的蘑菇，看起来像戴着灰白色手套的小手指。)”可知，Taylor在森林里发现了稀有的蘑菇品种，再结合第三段中“They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. (“它们不会每年在同一时间出现，所以有时真菌结出果实之间可能需要几十年的时间。”罗斯曼说，这就是为什么像泰勒·洛克伍德这样的人用训练有素的眼睛在森林中搜索如此有价值的原因。)”可推知，Taylor是一个有经验且善于观察的人，故选A项。 27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. (“当我进行延时摄影时，我看到蘑菇周围发生了很多生命——昆虫、蠕虫和其他小生物与它们互动，”他说。洛克伍德对艺术的热爱体现在他随着时间的推移拍摄蘑菇的方法上。尽管他欣赏自己作品的科学方面，但他将自己视为内心的艺术家。)”可推知，Taylor决定拍摄蘑菇的延时视频是为了以艺术的方式捕捉动态生活，故选B项。 Passage9. 【2024·江苏扬州·模拟预测】 Tessa Lidstone remembers the last meals she cooked before she had to close her restaurant Box-E for the first lockdown. “Everything was slipping away and beyond our control.” With the restaurant closed, Lidstone got to thinking about how other people might be coping. “I felt isolated,” she says, “but I was so lucky: I had my husband and kids with me. I thought about all the people without a support network and how awful it must be to not have contact with anyone.” Lidstone saw a callout from a collective of Bristol restaurants called the Bristol Food Union. They were looking for volunteers to help put together boxes of emergency food for the elderly living alone. “I’d love doing that to give my life purpose,” says Lidstone. “It was originally going to be for two weeks. But it just grew from there.” In her first week, Lidstone put together boxes for 100 people: pasta, bread and milk, but also fruit and vegetables. By the second week, she was organizing packages for 250 people. The government provided funding and most suppliers were more than willing to help. “They were so generous,” she says. “If I ordered milk, bread and butter, they’d donate fruit and vegetables as well. It meant I could make the money go further.” Lidstone put her restaurant training to good use, creating a weekly recipe card to go in each box. She also videoed herself making the meal and posted it online. “It was basic home cooking,” she says. By week three, Lidstone was thinking bigger: “If there were any birthdays coming up, I arranged something extra for the persons.” By then, the scale of Lidstone’s operation had become a bit overwhelming. Staff from the restaurant and Lidstone’s children helped out. In all, Lidstone and her team delivered 2,500 boxes over 16 weeks. “It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by a situation,” she said, “and think you can’t do anything alone. But work together and we’ll make a difference.” 28．Why did Lidstone respond to the appeal of the Bristol Food Union? A．To turn her restaurant Box-E from losses to profits. B．To make herself feel less isolated in the lockdown. C．To help lonely old people have access to free food. D．To realize her self-worth and make life meaningful. 29．What can be learned from paragraphs 4 to 6? A．Many suppliers helped offer her financial assistance. B．Lidstone provided tailored service for special occasions. C．The process of Lidstone’s work advanced as planned. D．Lidstone taught cooking from door to door in person. 30．Which word best describes the impact of Lidstone’s deeds? A．Far-reaching. B．Predictable. C．Short-lived. D．Unidentifiable. 31．What message do Lidstone’s words in the last paragraph suggest? A．Kindness can be passed on. B．Many hands make light work. C．One good turn deserves another. D．Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．A 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了Tessa Lidstone参加志愿者活动，帮助需要帮助的人们。 28．细节理解题。根据第三段“Lidstone saw a callout from a collective of Bristol restaurants called the Bristol Food Union. They were looking for volunteers to help put together boxes of emergency food for the elderly living alone. “I’d love doing that to give my life purpose,” says Lidstone.(Lidstone看到了布里斯托尔一家名为布里斯托尔食品联盟的餐馆发出的号召。他们正在寻找志愿者，帮助为独居老人打包紧急食品。Lidstone说：“我喜欢这样做，给我的生活目标。”)”可知，Lidstone响应号召是为了使其生活有目标，有意义。故选D项。 29．细节理解题。根据第六段“Lidstone put her restaurant training to good use, creating a weekly recipe card to go in each box. She also videoed herself making the meal and posted it online. “It was basic home cooking,” she says. By week three, Lidstone was thinking bigger: “If there were any birthdays coming up, I arranged something extra for the persons.”(Lidstone很好地利用了她的餐厅培训，每周制作一张食谱卡，放在每个盒子里。她还录下了自己做这顿饭的过程，并发布到了网上。“这是基本的家常菜，”她说。到了第三周，Lidstone想到了更多：“如果有人过生日，我会为他们安排一些额外的东西。”)”可知，Lidstone会在特殊时刻（如生日时）给人们准备额外的东西。故选B项。 30．推理判断题。根据第五段“The government provided funding and most suppliers were more than willing to help. “They were so generous,” she says. “If I ordered milk, bread and butter, they’d donate fruit and vegetables as well. It meant I could make the money go further.”(政府提供了资金，大多数供应商也非常愿意提供帮助。“他们太慷慨了，”她说。“如果我点牛奶、面包和黄油，他们也会捐赠水果和蔬菜。这意味着我可以把钱花得更远。”)”以及最后一段“By then, the scale of Lidstone’s operation had become a bit overwhelming. Staff from the restaurant and Lidstone’s children helped out. In all, Lidstone and her team delivered 2,500 boxes over 16 weeks.(到那时，Lidstone的业务规模已经变得有点势不可挡。餐厅的工作人员和Lidstone的孩子们也在帮忙。Lidstone和她的团队在16周内总共运送了2500个箱子。)”可知，Lidstone的行为，让更多人加入进来帮助他人，所以她的行为是影响深远的。故选A项。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by a situation,” she said, “and think you can’t do anything alone. But work together and we’ll make a difference.”(“人们很容易被一种情况淹没，”她说，“觉得自己一个人什么都做不了。但只要我们齐心协力，我们就会有所作为。”)”可知，Lidstone说只要我们齐心协力，我们就会有所作为，B项“Many hands make light work.(人多好办事)”符合题意。故选B项。 Passage10. 【2024·江苏南通·二模】 Consciousness (意识) rises slowly, awakening with the dawn that brightens my room. Cool air clears my mind as I walk to the kitchen, where my husband is making his morning coffee. The fire he thoughtfully started is beginning to heat the living space. By my second cup, everyone is awake. After breakfast, we begin the busy work of a rural place. Chopping (砍) wood for the stove and clearing snow off steps and pathways. Our kids are big enough to be properly helpful and find joy in the work when everyone is doing it together. Then we take a walk through the fresh snow. We discover an amazing array of animals on display in the markings that they have left. After dinner, we play cards with a lot of energy and competitive interaction. Eventually, we’ll turn off the lights and with the fire crackling (噼啪作响), cuddle (拥抱) on the couch to watch the stars through the windows before heading off to bed. Weekends at the cabin (木屋) are magical. During the break, our family constantly balances the demands of work and school. I’m subject to my watch and alarm clock. But coming to the cabin on the weekend is like entering another world. Here, I don’t need to know what time it is-sunrise and sunset, hunger and chores set our schedule. The house and the woods around it are silent and dark, except for birdsong and the moon. Life seems less pressing, and it’s easier to live in the moment without distraction. When I get up the next morning, my son is already sitting in front of the fire, staring at the flames. I sit beside him, and he leans into me, sleepy and a bit sad. “What’s up?” I ask. “I just don’t want to go home yet. I like it better here.” I know what he means. I smile and put my arms around him. “Even when we’re home, this place is always here, where it’s quiet and safe, and everyone you love has time for you.” I don’t really mean the cabin, and I think he knows that. 32．What are paragraphs 1-3 mainly about? A．The reasons the family go to the cabin. B．The activities of the family at the cabin. C．The adventures of the family in the woods. D．The attitudes of the family to their cabin life. 33．Why does the author think weekends at the cabin are magical? A．She can reunite with her family. B．She enjoys the silence there most. C．She finds her life there more thrilling. D．She was not enslaved by tight schedules. 34．What does the cabin represent in the passage? A．A rural culture. B．An isolated life. C．A place of connection.

A．Taking a Break B．A Weekend Picnic C．Embracing Our Life D．A Conscious Attempt 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者周末休息的小木屋的故事。 32．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Cool air clears my mind as I walk to the kitchen, where my husband is making his morning coffee. The fire he thoughtfully started is beginning to heat the living space.”（当我走向厨房时，凉爽的空气使我头脑清醒，我的丈夫正在那里煮早晨的咖啡。他若有所思地生起了一堆火，开始给客厅供暖。以及第二段中“By my second cup, everyone is awake. After breakfast, we begin the busy work of a rural place. Chopping(砍) wood for the stove and clearing snow off steps and pathways.”（喝第二杯的时候，大家都醒了。早饭后，我们开始了农村的忙碌工作。劈柴生火，清理台阶和小路上的积雪。）和第三段中“After dinner, we play cards with a lot of energy and competitive interaction.”（晚饭后，我们玩纸牌，充满活力和竞争的互动。）可知，第1-3段主要讲的是一家人在小木屋的活动。故选B项。 33．推理判断题。根据第四段“Weekends at the cabin (木屋) are magical. During the break, our family constantly balances the demands of work and school. I'm subject to my watch and alarm clock. But coming to the cabin on the weekend is like entering another world.”（在小木屋度过的周末很神奇。在休息期间，我们的家庭不断平衡工作和学习的需求。我受手表和闹钟的影响。但周末来到小屋就像进入了另一个世界。）以及第五段“Here, I don’t need to know what time it is-sunrise and sunset, hunger and chores set our schedule.

His mother came from a family of musicians and piano manufacturers, a fact that greatly influenced Robert’s life. His father was a physician in army, a position which required frequent foreign postings. The family stayed in various areas of East Asia for most of Robert’s youth. This experience contributed to his appreciation for cultures and mastery of several languages. Robert was a hardworking academic, collector of art and manuscripts, and translator of ancient writings. He studied and trained to become a master musician on the Chinese guqin, and eventually wrote two books on the instrument. Similarly, his skills as an artist in the traditional Chinese style and knowledge of calligraphy were unparalleled. He wrote and published a number of non-fiction, scholarly articles and books on Chinese music, art, and literature, as well as Chinese culture and folk legends. In 1940, Robert came across a little-known and anonymous (匿名的)18th-century Chinese novel that would take his career down an unplanned pathway and result in the public fame he never anticipated. The novel, titled Four Great Strange Cases of Empress Wu’s Reign, was a fictional account of the deeds of Judge Dee, one of the heroes of traditional Chinese detective fiction, and was set in the 7th-century Tang Dynasty. Fascinated, Robert not only translated the novel into English, he also did some research on the history of Chinese Penal Code and other legal literature of the period. It was not until 1949 that Robert was able to publish his translation —Dee Goong An: Three Murder Cases Solved by Judge Dee. Robert’s Chinese mysteries comprise over 10 novels and short-story volumes, recording the career of Chinese detective called Di Renjie. Interestingly, the tales first found fame in oriental (东方的)editions, before being translated into English in 1957. Through all the novels by Robert, he impressively brings to life the sights and sounds of daily Chinese life in the past. His passionate devotion and respect for the Chinese culture was never discounted, yet he also appreciated the purpose of fiction. 36．What inspired Robert’s love for oriental culture? A．His language competence. B．His previous stay in East Asia. C．His mother’s good family background. D．His father’s professional medical knowledge. 37．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A．Robert’s passion for China. B．Robert’s music proficiency. C．Robert’s early achievements. D．Robert’s learning experiences. 38．What contributed to Robert’s fame? A．He introduced western civilization to China. B．He polished an existing Chinese fiction style. C．He spread Chinese literature to a wider audience. D．He conducted research on famous Chinese detectives. 39．Which of the following can best describe Robert’s translations? A．Vivid and faithful. B．Dramatic and realistic. C．Accurate and humorous.

This experience contributed to his appreciation for cultures and mastery of several languages.(罗伯特的童年大部分时间都在东亚各地度过。这段经历让他对各种文化有了更深的了解，并掌握了多种语言。)”可知，Robert小时候一家人生活在东亚，这激发了罗伯特对东方文化的热爱。故选B项。 37．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Robert was a hardworking academic, collector of art and manuscripts, and translator of ancient writings. He studied and trained to become a master musician on the Chinese guqin, and eventually wrote two books on the instrument. Similarly, his skills as an artist in the traditional Chinese style and knowledge of calligraphy were unparalleled. He wrote and published a number of non-fiction, scholarly articles and books on Chinese music, art, and literature, as well as Chinese culture and folk legends. (罗伯特是一位勤奋的学者、艺术品和手稿收藏家以及古文翻译家。他学习和训练成为中国古琴大师，并最终写了两本关于古琴的书。同样，他作为一名艺术家在中国传统风格方面的技巧和书法知识也是无与伦比的。他撰写并出版了许多关于中国音乐、艺术和文学以及中国文化和民间传说的非小说、学术文章和书籍。)”可知，Robert是一个学着，艺术和手稿收藏家，翻译古代作品，他是中国古琴大师，写过两本乐器的书籍，他的中国传统风格的艺术几千和书法知识非凡，还撰写很多中国音乐、艺术、文学以及中国文化和传统的纪实、学术文章和书籍，由此可知，本段主要讲述的是Robert的所取得的成就。故选C项。 38．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In 1940, Robert came across a little-known and anonymous(匿名的)18th-century Chinese novel that would take his career down an unplanned pathway and result in the public fame he never anticipated.

(1940 年，罗伯特偶然发现了一本鲜为人知的匿名 18 世纪中国小说，这本小说将他的职业生涯推向了一条意想不到的道路，并让他获得了从未预料到的公众名声。这本名为《武则天统治时期的四大奇案》的小说虚构了中国传统侦探小说英雄之一狄仁杰的事迹，故事背景设定在 7 世纪的唐朝。罗伯特对这本小说十分着迷，他不仅将这本小说翻译成英文，还对中国刑法史和当时其他法律文献做了一些研究。直到 1949 年，罗伯特才得以出版他的译作《狄公案：狄仁杰破获的三起谋杀案》。罗伯特的中国悬疑小说包括 10 多部小说和短篇小说集，记录了中国侦探狄仁杰的职业生涯。有趣的是，这些故事首先在东方版本中成名，然后于 1957 年被翻译成英文)”可知，Robert把中国文学传播给了更广泛的受众导致罗伯特名声大噪。故选C项。 39．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Through all the novels by Robert, he impressively brings to life the sights and sounds of daily Chinese life in the past. His passionate devotion and respect for the Chinese culture was never discounted, yet he also appreciated the purpose of fiction. (罗伯特的小说生动再现了中国古代日常生活的景象和声音，令人印象深刻。他对中国文化的热爱和尊重从未被忽视，但他也理解小说的意义。）”，由此可推断，Robert的翻译生动而忠实。故选A项。 Passage12. 【2024·福建漳州·模拟预测】 Raised in Jacksonville, a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me. No one told me that it was unattainable. And whether it was my own hard-headedness or that encouragement, I did go full forward into pursuing my dream to become an astronaut,” she says. Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams. Koch studied physics and electrical engineering before joining NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center, where she contributed to the development of scientific instruments on several space missions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, she spent a year in Antarctica’s tough environment and then in other remote locations like Greenland. Unsurprisingly, she cited photography, travel, camping and climbing among her hobbies. The ultimate fulfillment (实现) of her dream came in 2013, when she was selected as an astronaut, joining a groundbreaking class with an equal number of men and women. Previously, women comprised only 17% of NASA’s astronauts. After completing training in 2015, she was assigned her first long-stay mission on the International Space Station (ISS). Her success is undeniable. As part of the Artemis II mission, scheduled for 2025, she’ll travel further than any human since Apollo, an evidence of her constant ambition. Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.”Besides, Koch also says that there’s one that should never be forgotten: “Support the people around you. Make sure that you’re thinking about the success of those around you, that you’re helping them, and together we all will achieve as much as we possibly can.” 40．What initially motivated Koch to become an astronaut? A．Her desire to push herself to the limit. B．Her early enthusiasm in space exploration. C．Her wish to reward her kindergarten teachers. D．Her ambition to change the position of women astronauts. 41．What can we infer from the passage? A．Koch invented some scientific devices. B．Koch set a record for the longest spaceflight. C．Various hobbies prepared Koch for adventure. D．Role models impacted Koch greatly in her life journey. 42．What does Koch’s advice indicate? A．Seeking support is crucial for dream chasers. B．Being kind to others is the stepstone to success. C．Welcoming challenges leads to personal growth. D．Working tirelessly is key to overcoming barriers. 43．What is the best title of the passage? A．Christina Koch: An Explorer of Nature B．Christina Koch: A Dream Pursuer to Space C．Christina Koch: A Role Model from Jacksonville D．Christina Koch: A Distinguished Female Scientist 【答案】40．B 41．D 42．C 43．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了克里斯蒂娜·科赫提倡追随激情，应接挑战，并支持他人，她将在2025年的阿尔忒弥斯二号任务中飞得更远，实现自己的雄心壮志。 40．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Raised in Jacksonville, a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men.”（克里斯蒂娜·科赫(Christina Koch)在北卡罗来纳州的一个小镇杰克逊维尔(Jacksonville)长大，她一直知道自己想成为一名宇航员。这个梦想早在幼儿园就开始了，当时太空飞行是由男性主导的。）可知，她早期对太空探索的热情最初促使科赫成为一名宇航员。故选B项。 41．推理判断题。根据第二段“Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams.”（科赫从莎莉·莱德(Sally Ride)和梅·杰米森(Mae Jemison)等先驱身上找到了灵感，但也从日常生活中的英雄身上找到了灵感——从民权活动家到她独立的祖母。这些例子，加上她的家人对努力工作的重视，给了她追求梦想的勇气。）可推知，科赫的人生旅途中，榜样对科赫的人生影响很大。故选D项。 42．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.” ”（科赫倡导追随激情，迎接挑战。“做你害怕的事，”她建议道，“因为那些事情往往会带来最大的成就感和贡献。”）可推知，科赫的建议表明，迎接挑战能促进个人成长。故选C项。 43．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Raised in Jacksonville, a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me.

They were looking for volunteers to help put together boxes of emergency food for the elderly living alone. “I’d love doing that to give my life purpose,” says Lidstone.(Lidstone看到了布里斯托尔一家名为布里斯托尔食品联盟的餐馆发出的号召。他们正在寻找志愿者，帮助为独居老人打包紧急食品。Lidstone说：“我喜欢这样做，给我的生活目标。”)”可知，Lidstone响应号召是为了使其生活有目标，有意义。故选D项。 45．细节理解题。根据第六段“Lidstone put her restaurant training to good use, creating a weekly recipe card to go in each box. She also videoed herself making the meal and posted it online. “It was basic home cooking,” she says. By week three, Lidstone was thinking bigger: “If there were any birthdays coming up, I arranged something extra for the persons.”(Lidstone很好地利用了她的餐厅培训，每周制作一张食谱卡，放在每个盒子里。她还录下了自己做这顿饭的过程，并发布到了网上。“这是基本的家常菜，”她说。到了第三周，Lidstone想到了更多：“如果有人过生日，我会为他们安排一些额外的东西。”)”可知，Lidstone会在特殊时刻（如生日时）给人们准备额外的东西。故选B项。 46．推理判断题。根据第五段“The government provided funding and most suppliers were more than willing to help. “They were so generous,” she says. “If I ordered milk, bread and butter, they’d donate fruit and vegetables as well. It meant I could make the money go further.”(政府提供了资金，大多数供应商也非常愿意提供帮助。“他们太慷慨了，”她说。“如果我点牛奶、面包和黄油，他们也会捐赠水果和蔬菜。这意味着我可以把钱花得更远。”)”以及最后一段“By then, the scale of Lidstone’s operation had become a bit overwhelming. Staff from the restaurant and Lidstone’s children helped out. In all, Lidstone and her team delivered 2,500 boxes over 16 weeks.(到那时，Lidstone的业务规模已经变得有点势不可挡。餐厅的工作人员和Lidstone的孩子们也在帮忙。Lidstone和她的团队在16周内总共运送了2500个箱子。)”可知，Lidstone的行为，让更多人加入进来帮助他人，所以她的行为是影响深远的。故选A项。 47．推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by a situation,” she said, “and think you can’t do anything alone. But work together and we’ll make a difference.”(“人们很容易被一种情况淹没，”她说，“觉得自己一个人什么都做不了。但只要我们齐心协力，我们就会有所作为。”)”可知，Lidstone说只要我们齐心协力，我们就会有所作为，B项“Many hands make light work.(人多好办事)”符合题意。故选B项。 ( 26 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
