(23-24高三上·北京·开学考试)Stargazing Festivals in 2023
As more areas grow brighter with light pollution, national parks across the country have become dark-sky havens. Over the years, they are making a push to get certified as havens for sky-watching by the International Dark Sky Association, and they even host events like stargazing festivals to get travelers excited about astronomy.
·Bryce Canyon National Park—June 14-17
Situated in southern Utah, Bryce Canyon earned its dark-sky title in 2019. The 35,835-acre park is an ideal place to stay up late. This year, its annual astronomy festival includes guided stargazing sessions, lectures and “star stories” presentations, family-friendly activities, and even a performance by strings musicians in the northern Arizona-based Dark Sky Quartet.
·Shenandoah National Park—August 11-13
Conveniently located within a day’s drive from two-thirds of Americans, Shenandoah National Park’s night sky festival is a low-lift way to dabble in astronomy. The nearly 200,000-acre park will host ranger talks, public stargazing sessions, lectures, presentations, and activities for kids. Staffers are still working on this year’s full schedule, but past events have covered topics ranging from space weather to nocturnal(夜间的) creatures.
·Great Basin National Park—September 14-16
Great Basin is one of the least crowded national parks, making it the perfect place to quietly appreciate the mysteries of the cosmos. Its annual astronomy festival is scheduled for this fall and includes guest speakers, constellation talks, observatory tours, and a photography workshop. During the festival’s unique “Art in the Dark” program, participants will get to paint in low-light conditions and experiment with how their eyes perceive color.
·Joshua Tree National Park—October 13-14
Joshua Tree National Park, as the International Dark Sky Association notes, is the “nearest convenient place to go stargazing under a relatively dark sky” for the 18 million people who live in the Los Angeles area. It became an official dark sky park in 2017, and each year, it hosts a night sky festival in the fall. As luck would have it, this year’s dates overlap with an annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse.

(2024·北京通州·模拟预测)Many things come to mind when I think of a great vacation. Impressive scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can’t always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants.
The Rock. Zanzibar
On an enormous stone off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. Fresh lobster, prawns, octopus salad and calamari are just a few of the appetizing dining options. At low tide, customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they’re greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the “floating restaurant,” is available for weddings and other small group events.
The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines
Stunning waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, are different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of these falls. Guests dine on authentic Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The Grotto, Thailand
The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand’s Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea. Those seated at the back enjoy an authentic cave-dining experience. Comfortable tables are arranged inside the cave. International food with a Thai influence is featured.
For your next travel-and-dining adventure, why not make a reservation at one of these unique restaurants?

(2024·北京大兴·三模)Almost every day, we learn of disasters of one form or another through the media. These include not just major disasters that affect large areas for a long time. A severe storm, an electric power breakdown, or a house fire can bring a personal disaster to an individual. This brochure aims to help you develop your personal preparedness plan.
IStockpiling food and drink● Drinking is more important than eating. Keep about 14 liters of liquid per person in stock for each week.
● No experiments. Your supplies should mainly consist of food and drink that you normally have.
● Ensure that your supplies can be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration and that most of them can be eaten cold.
ⅡEmergency pack
● The aim of a disaster supplies kit should be to help you to cope with the possibility of having to exist for a few days outside of your house. Don't take more for each family member than could be conveniently contained within the confines of a rucksack (帆布背包). A rucksack is more practical than a suitcase, as it allows you to have both hands free.
● The emergency rucksack should contain these items:
—First aid materials, personal medication
—Sleeping bag or blanket
—Hygiene products for a couple of days
ⅢElectric power breakdown
● Keep a supply of torches and candles, as well as spare batteries, matches or lighters in the house. Remember that batteries do not last indefinitely. Regularly use the batteries up and replace them.
● You can prepare smaller meals on a camping stove, one that can be operated through the use of charcoal (木炭) or gas.
ⅣKeep up-to-date in an emergency
Floods or heavy snowfalls may lead to parts of the population getting cut off from the outside world. Information and warnings are important for survival. Those who are trapped can often only be reached by radio, television or the Internet. However, television and the Internet only work when there is electric power, which could fail. This leaves just the radio as the main warning device.
ⅤAbout us
The Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) was established in 2004 as a central organizational unit for civil security in Germany. The BBK is your reliable partner for emergency preparedness and self-help. You can find further information on our website.

C.encourage people to stockpile food and drink on a regular basis
D.promote the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance
29.What is the recommended device to receive warnings during a disaster?

(2024·北京丰台·二模)Around the world, coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are in danger. Now, let’s check out a few ways conservationists are protecting these habitats.
Seaweed Smackdown
Hot ocean temperatures can supercharge seaweed growth — and that’s not good for a reef. So, in Hawaii, scientists have used an underwater vacuum (真空吸器) to suck up lots of seaweed into the device’s long tube. In Australia, scientists are studying a low-tech solution: pulling seaweed by hand.
21
Some polyps (珊瑚虫) are harmed by heat waves and pollution. Scientists cut parts of coral from a healthy reef. Then these polyps are taken to a nursery, which could be in shallow protected areas underwater. After about a year, the healthy coral parts are attached to damaged reefs. The nursery-grown corals can bring new life to a struggling habitat.
Sound Saver
Healthy reefs are noisy. Fish make different sounds, and thousands of shrimp create and pop bubbles with their claws to create a sound. The biologists play sounds of healthy reefs through underwater speakers. They found that six weeks of broadcasting healthy reef sounds doubled the amount of fish in the area.
Bleaching Killer
One of the biggest threats to coral reefs is bleaching. Here’s how it works.
Thriving coral
Most coral species survive by partnering with tiny algae (藻类), which make food for the coral by changing sunlight into sugar.
Under stress
But when the ocean water gets too hot, the algae produce too much oxygen, which can hurt the coral.
Bleaching
So corals kick out the algae. As the algae leave, the color disappears and the coral appears to turn white. This process is called bleaching.
Biologists have discovered that many corals in the Red Sea have a species of algae in their tissue that’s found nowhere else, so they can survive heat waves. Biologists hope their work will inspire governments and environmental groups to protect these corals.
31.Which of the following might be the subtitle of Paragraph 3?
A.Underwater Nurseries. B.Fishing Guides.
C.Seaweed Cleaners. D.Colour Designers.
32.What can mainly help stop corals bleaching?
A.Breathing in more oxygen. B.Changing the appearance.
C.Absorbing more sound. D.Partnering with algae.
33.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To present the serious damages to corals. B.To explain the reasons for coral habitat loss.
C.To introduce the methods of coral protection. D.To compare the effects of different solutions.

(2024·北京朝阳·一模)You’ve raced to the supermarket only to realise you’ve left the shopping list home. You need to memorise which groceries to pick up before you forget. Thankfully, there’s a memory aid that’s perfect for the job: the peg-word method.
What is the peg-word method?
It employs a set of pre-determined words, regarded as peg words, for the to-be-remembered information. Peg words act as a structure to help you remember particular items. Essentially, you’re hanging information you need to recall on these pegs, which allows it to be recalled quickly and easily.
Initially, to use this method, you will have to remember the peg words as well as the numbers:
one=bun two= shoe three=tree four= door five= hive
six= sticks seven= heaven eight= gate nine =vine ten= hen
The next step is to create associations between the information you need to remember and the item linked with the corresponding number. If the first item, for instance, is milk, then you need to visualise the milk and a bun (小圆面包) together. The more unusual you can make your image, the more likely you are to remember it. In this case, you could imagine a bun drinking a glass of milk.
Why is it useful?
As the case shows, it is most useful when it comes to remembering lists and you can recall the listed items easily in order. Another way to use this memory aid is to memorise important numbers, like phone numbers or dates. For instance, you need to remember that William Shakespeare was born in the year 1564. First, change that number to bun-hive-sticks-door. Then imagine a story to help you remember the series:
William Shakespeare put a bun in a beehive to coat it in honey, but he didn’t like how sticky it became so he threw it at a door.
The peg-word method has been wildly recognized as a helpful memory aid. For more information, please visit https://jojomemory.com/.
40.How can we apply the peg-word method to recall an item?
A.List out different meanings of the item.
B.Visualise the item and memorize its image.
C.Choose the item’s peg word and remember it.
D.Create a visual link between the item and its peg word.
41.What is the best way to remember the number 347 with the peg words in the table?
A.A hen drinks from a bottle of wine.
B.A load of eggs grow like fruit on a tree.
C.A tree grows through the door to heaven.
D.An apple shoots out of a bun and hits the door.
42.What is the purpose of this passage?
A.To introduce a helpful memory tool.
B.To advertise a brain training program.
C.To highlight the importance of peg words.
D.To analyze the necessity of training memory.

(23-24高三上·北京·开学考试)Stargazing Festivals in 2023
As more areas grow brighter with light pollution, national parks across the country have become dark-sky havens. Over the years, they are making a push to get certified as havens for sky-watching by the International Dark Sky Association, and they even host events like stargazing festivals to get travelers excited about astronomy.
·Bryce Canyon National Park—June 14-17
Situated in southern Utah, Bryce Canyon earned its dark-sky title in 2019. The 35,835-acre park is an ideal place to stay up late. This year, its annual astronomy festival includes guided stargazing sessions, lectures and “star stories” presentations, family-friendly activities, and even a performance by strings musicians in the northern Arizona-based Dark Sky Quartet.
·Shenandoah National Park—August 11-13
Conveniently located within a day’s drive from two-thirds of Americans, Shenandoah National Park’s night sky festival is a low-lift way to dabble in astronomy. The nearly 200,000-acre park will host ranger talks, public stargazing sessions, lectures, presentations, and activities for kids. Staffers are still working on this year’s full schedule, but past events have covered topics ranging from space weather to nocturnal(夜间的) creatures.
·Great Basin National Park—September 14-16
Great Basin is one of the least crowded national parks, making it the perfect place to quietly appreciate the mysteries of the cosmos. Its annual astronomy festival is scheduled for this fall and includes guest speakers, constellation talks, observatory tours, and a photography workshop. During the festival’s unique “Art in the Dark” program, participants will get to paint in low-light conditions and experiment with how their eyes perceive color.
·Joshua Tree National Park—October 13-14
Joshua Tree National Park, as the International Dark Sky Association notes, is the “nearest convenient place to go stargazing under a relatively dark sky” for the 18 million people who live in the Los Angeles area. It became an official dark sky park in 2017, and each year, it hosts a night sky festival in the fall. As luck would have it, this year’s dates overlap with an annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse. From Joshua Tree, the moon will appear to obscure between 70 and 80 percent of the sun.
7.What is the purpose of Stargazing Festivals?
A.To raise public interest in astronomy.
B.To call for action against light pollution.
C.To provide a platform to observe stars.
D.To collect money for more observatories.

9.推理判断题。根据Joshua Tree National Park—October 13-14部分的“As luck would have it, this year’s dates overlap with an annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse (幸运的是,今年的日期与环形“火环”日食重叠)可知在节日期间,日食可能是约书亚树国家公园游客的额外奖励,故选D。

(2024·北京通州·模拟预测)Many things come to mind when I think of a great vacation. Impressive scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can’t always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants.
The Rock. Zanzibar
On an enormous stone off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. Fresh lobster, prawns, octopus salad and calamari are just a few of the appetizing dining options. At low tide, customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they’re greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the “floating restaurant,” is available for weddings and other small group events.
The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines
Stunning waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, are different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of these falls. Guests dine on authentic Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The Grotto, Thailand
The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand’s Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea. Those seated at the back enjoy an authentic cave-dining experience. Comfortable tables are arranged inside the cave. International food with a Thai influence is featured.
For your next travel-and-dining adventure, why not make a reservation at one of these unique restaurants?

(2024·北京大兴·三模)Almost every day, we learn of disasters of one form or another through the media. These include not just major disasters that affect large areas for a long time. A severe storm, an electric power breakdown, or a house fire can bring a personal disaster to an individual. This brochure aims to help you develop your personal preparedness plan.
IStockpiling food and drink● Drinking is more important than eating. Keep about 14 liters of liquid per person in stock for each week.
● No experiments. Your supplies should mainly consist of food and drink that you normally have.
● Ensure that your supplies can be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration and that most of them can be eaten cold.
ⅡEmergency pack
● The aim of a disaster supplies kit should be to help you to cope with the possibility of having to exist for a few days outside of your house. Don't take more for each family member than could be conveniently contained within the confines of a rucksack (帆布背包). A rucksack is more practical than a suitcase, as it allows you to have both hands free.
● The emergency rucksack should contain these items:
—First aid materials, personal medication
—Sleeping bag or blanket
—Hygiene products for a couple of days
ⅢElectric power breakdown
● Keep a supply of torches and candles, as well as spare batteries, matches or lighters in the house. Remember that batteries do not last indefinitely. Regularly use the batteries up and replace them.
● You can prepare smaller meals on a camping stove, one that can be operated through the use of charcoal (木炭) or gas.
ⅣKeep up-to-date in an emergency
Floods or heavy snowfalls may lead to parts of the population getting cut off from the outside world. Information and warnings are important for survival. Those who are trapped can often only be reached by radio, television or the Internet. However, television and the Internet only work when there is electric power, which could fail. This leaves just the radio as the main warning device.
ⅤAbout us
The Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) was established in 2004 as a central organizational unit for civil security in Germany. The BBK is your reliable partner for emergency preparedness and self-help. You can find further information on our website.

A.inform people about recent disasters
B.provide tips on how to survive in a disaster
C.encourage people to stockpile food and drink on a regular basis
D.promote the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance
29.What is the recommended device to receive warnings during a disaster?
A.A laptop. B.A television. C.A mobile phone. D.A battery-powered radio.
30.The Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance is _______.
A.a charity that collects donations for disaster victims
B.a non-profit organization that provides disaster relief globally
C.an international organization that coordinates disaster response efforts

(2024·北京丰台·二模)Around the world, coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are in danger. Now, let’s check out a few ways conservationists are protecting these habitats.
Seaweed Smackdown
Hot ocean temperatures can supercharge seaweed growth — and that’s not good for a reef. So, in Hawaii, scientists have used an underwater vacuum (真空吸器) to suck up lots of seaweed into the device’s long tube. In Australia, scientists are studying a low-tech solution: pulling seaweed by hand.
21
Some polyps (珊瑚虫) are harmed by heat waves and pollution. Scientists cut parts of coral from a healthy reef. Then these polyps are taken to a nursery, which could be in shallow protected areas underwater. After about a year, the healthy coral parts are attached to damaged reefs. The nursery-grown corals can bring new life to a struggling habitat.
Sound Saver
Healthy reefs are noisy. Fish make different sounds, and thousands of shrimp create and pop bubbles with their claws to create a sound. The biologists play sounds of healthy reefs through underwater speakers. They found that six weeks of broadcasting healthy reef sounds doubled the amount of fish in the area.
Bleaching Killer
One of the biggest threats to coral reefs is bleaching. Here’s how it works.
Thriving coral
Most coral species survive by partnering with tiny algae (藻类), which make food for the coral by changing sunlight into sugar.
Under stress
But when the ocean water gets too hot, the algae produce too much oxygen, which can hurt the coral.
Bleaching
So corals kick out the algae. As the algae leave, the color disappears and the coral appears to turn white. This process is called bleaching.
Biologists have discovered that many corals in the Red Sea have a species of algae in their tissue that’s found nowhere else, so they can survive heat waves. Biologists hope their work will inspire governments and environmental groups to protect these corals.
31.Which of the following might be the subtitle of Paragraph 3?
A.Underwater Nurseries. B.Fishing Guides.
C.Seaweed Cleaners. D.Colour Designers.
32.What can mainly help stop corals bleaching?
A.Breathing in more oxygen. B.Changing the appearance.
C.Absorbing more sound. D.Partnering with algae.
33.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To present the serious damages to corals. B.To explain the reasons for coral habitat loss.
C.To introduce the methods of coral protection. D.To compare the effects of different solutions.
【答案】31.A 32.D 33.C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了自然资源保护主义者保护珊瑚礁的几种方法。
31.主旨大意题。根据第三段第二句到最后一句“Scientists cut parts of coral from a healthy reef. Then these polyps are taken to a nursery, which could be in shallow protected areas underwater. After about a year, the healthy coral parts are attached to damaged reefs. The nursery-grown corals can bring new life to a struggling habitat.(科学家们从健康的珊瑚礁上切下部分珊瑚。然后这些珊瑚虫被带到苗圃,苗圃可能位于水下的浅水保护区。大约一年后,健康的珊瑚部分会附着在受损的珊瑚礁上。苗圃生长的珊瑚可以给挣扎中的栖息地带来新的生命。)”可知,第三段主要对水下育苗场进行了介绍。故选A。
32.细节理解题。根据Bleaching Killer部分中的“Most coral species survive by partnering with tiny algae (藻类), which make food for the coral by changing sunlight into sugar.(大多数珊瑚物种通过与微小的藻类合作而生存,这些藻类通过将阳光转化为糖来为珊瑚提供食物。)”和“Biologists have discovered that many corals in the Red Sea have a species of algae in their tissue that’s found nowhere else, so they can survive heat waves. Biologists hope their work will inspire governments and environmental groups to protect these corals.(生物学家发现,红海的许多珊瑚组织中都有一种其他地方没有的藻类,所以它们可以在热浪中生存。生物学家希望他们的工作能激励政府和环保组织保护这些珊瑚。)”可知,和藻类合作能主要帮助阻止珊瑚白化。故选D。
33.推理判断题。根据第一段“Around the world, coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are in danger. Now, let’s check out a few ways conservationists are protecting these habitats.(世界各地的珊瑚礁都处于危险之中。现在,让我们来看看自然资源保护主义者保护这些栖息地的几种方法。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍保护珊瑚的方法。故选C。

(2024·北京朝阳·一模)You’ve raced to the supermarket only to realise you’ve left the shopping list home. You need to memorise which groceries to pick up before you forget. Thankfully, there’s a memory aid that’s perfect for the job: the peg-word method.
What is the peg-word method?
It employs a set of pre-determined words, regarded as peg words, for the to-be-remembered information. Peg words act as a structure to help you remember particular items. Essentially, you’re hanging information you need to recall on these pegs, which allows it to be recalled quickly and easily.
Initially, to use this method, you will have to remember the peg words as well as the numbers:
one=bun two= shoe three=tree four= door five= hive
six= sticks seven= heaven eight= gate nine =vine ten= hen
The next step is to create associations between the information you need to remember and the item linked with the corresponding number. If the first item, for instance, is milk, then you need to visualise the milk and a bun (小圆面包) together. The more unusual you can make your image, the more likely you are to remember it. In this case, you could imagine a bun drinking a glass of milk.
Why is it useful?
As the case shows, it is most useful when it comes to remembering lists and you can recall the listed items easily in order. Another way to use this memory aid is to memorise important numbers, like phone numbers or dates. For instance, you need to remember that William Shakespeare was born in the year 1564. First, change that number to bun-hive-sticks-door. Then imagine a story to help you remember the series:
William Shakespeare put a bun in a beehive to coat it in honey, but he didn’t like how sticky it became so he threw it at a door.
The peg-word method has been wildly recognized as a helpful memory aid. For more information, please visit https://jojomemory.com/.
40.How can we apply the peg-word method to recall an item?
A.List out different meanings of the item.
B.Visualise the item and memorize its image.
C.Choose the item’s peg word and remember it.
D.Create a visual link between the item and its peg word.
41.What is the best way to remember the number 347 with the peg words in the table?
A.A hen drinks from a bottle of wine.
B.A load of eggs grow like fruit on a tree.
C.A tree grows through the door to heaven.
D.An apple shoots out of a bun and hits the door.
42.What is the purpose of this passage?
A.To introduce a helpful memory tool.
B.To advertise a brain training program.
C.To highlight the importance of peg words.
D.To analyze the necessity of training memory.
【答案】40.D 41.C 42.A
【导语】本文为一篇应用文,介绍了一种辅助帮助记忆的工具——挂钩词法。
40.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Essentially, you’re hanging information you need to recall on these pegs, which allows it to be recalled quickly and easily.(从本质上讲,你把需要回忆的信息挂在这些挂钩上,这样就可以快速、轻松地回忆起来)”及表格下一段“The next step is to create associations between the information you need to remember and the item linked with the corresponding number. If the first item, for instance, is milk, then you need to visualise the milk and a bun together.(下一步是在你需要记住的信息和与相应数字相关联的项目之间建立联系。例如,如果第一件东西是牛奶,那么你需要想象牛奶和面包在一起)”可知,我们需要在事物和它的挂钩词之间创建一个想象链接,即,看到这些词就能想到对应的事物来帮助我们记住事物。故选D。
41.推理判断题。347对应数字three,four,seven,观察表格可知,three=tree(树木),four=door(门),seven=heaven(天堂),将“树木,门,天堂”联系起来,得到C选项“从通往天堂的门里长出一棵树”。故选C。
42.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Thankfully, there’s a memory aid that’s perfect for the job: the peg-word method.(值得庆幸的是,有一种记忆辅助工具非常适合这项工作:挂钩词法)”及最后一段“The peg-word method has been wildly recognized as a helpful memory aid. For more information, please visit https://jojomemory.com/.(挂钩词法被广泛认为是一种有助于记忆的方法。欲了解更多信息,请访问https://jojomemory.com/)”可推知,本文是为了向大家介绍一种有用的记忆工具。故选A。
