Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·河北省部分重点高中高三第一次素养测评)In my early teens,I was once given a film camera as a gift.On receiving it,I jumped on my bike,headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos,just for me: photos of trees and wildlife.I was out all day.On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour.Rushing home,I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store,desperate to see how it came out.I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments,gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood,that simple,deep happiness gradually faded away.One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls,my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room.I suddenly felt a sense of sadness.The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner.I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down.It was a great joy that it still worked.I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went.Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys,to allow me time to myself.Even if the day is full and busy,I can seize some moments for myself to take photos,to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display,along with photos I've taken.To me,the room represents how I've found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside,by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist,and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.

解析:A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Even if the day is full and busy,I can seize some moments for myself to take photos,to observe the world around me.”和第四段中的“To me,the room represents how I've found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside,by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist,and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.”可知,作者通过重新开始拍照,在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories
B.Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens

解析:D 标题归纳题。根据最后一段中的“To me,the room represents how I've found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside,by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist,and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.”及全文可知,文章讲述了作者通过重拾青少年时代的摄影兴趣重新获得快乐的故事。所以“Regaining Pleasure Through Photography”作为文章标题最为合适。

(2024·广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试)The best ideas are often so smart,so simple and so clearly needed;it's strange to discover they don't already exist.So it is with Farm My School,a program that's turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable,regenerative market gardens farmed by and for local communities.
Co-founded by permaculturist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan,Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a school's market garden.Students learn about community networks,healthy eating,ecological responsibility,waste reduction,and climate relief while helping with food production.Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable boxes every week that feed local families,supply the school's food needs and ultimately pay the farmer's salary.
Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals,who answered an online shout-out to buy tickets to the program's launch event at Bellarine Secondary College last October.Called Build a Farm in a Day Festival,the event featured workshops by Ben and James to share the skills required to build what they say is the world's largest no-dig garden.“It was such a powerful event,and I think that comes down to people wanting to act now,”says James.“We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up! They didn't even need free drinks to get excited.We were gardening till midnight.It was amazing.We've got true community's buy-in”
Volunteers have since begun beneficial planting throughout the school.Next steps include further discussions with local communities,employing a farmer,and bringing in a teacher to develop courses.“We've seen this huge push towards seeing schools as regenerative spaces,not just for planting but for kids to be more connected to the outside world,and really seeing the school in a whole new light,”James says.“For us,the big excitement is that by allowing a professional farmer to take the responsibility of growing food,it's not only on the school to look after that farm anymore,which eventually makes it much more sustainable,”adds Ben.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。Ben Shaw和James McLennan共创了Farm My School项目,在中学里将未充分利用的土地转变为商品果蔬农场,这个项目受到了社区居民的热烈欢迎。
5.Why was Farm My School founded?
A.To raise the income of the local people.
B.To advocate a commercial farming plan.
C.To provide free food for local communities.
D.To turn underused campus land into market gardens.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“a program that's turning underused land ...market gardens farmed by and for local communities”可知,Farm My School成立的原因是要将学校里未充分利用的土地改造成商业上可实现、可再生的商品果蔬农场,故D项正确。regenerative“有再生作用的;有再造能力的”。
6.How do schools involve students into the program?
A.By developing program-based courses.
B.By organizing voluntary work in communities.
C.By offering them part-time jobs in the market gardens.
D.By encouraging them to produce daily vegetable boxes.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable boxes every week”可知,学校通过开发基于项目的课程让学生参与这个项目,故A项正确。
7.What does the underlined word “buy-in”mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Competition.
B.Investment.
C.Support.
D.Protection.
解析:C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up! They didn't even need free drinks to get excited.We were gardening till midnight.”可知,学校举办了Build a Farm in a Day Festival活动并收取费用,但仍有600人参加,他们甚至不需要免费饮料就能兴奋起来,并一直干到午夜。由此可见,社区居民对这个活动非常支持,故C项与画线词的意义最为接近。
8.What is the highlight of the program according to Ben?
A.It brings in money to support the school.
B.The school farm will be able to last long.
C.The local people will take care of the farm.
D.Students connect more with the outside world.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Ben所说的话“the big excitement is that ...eventually makes it much more sustainable”可知,Ben认为这个项目最突出的部分是农场变得更加可持续发展,即学校农场能够持续很长时间,故B项正确。sustainable“可持续的”。
