高三英语培优外刊阅读 班级：____________学号：____________姓名：____________ 外刊精选｜大熊猫将重返华盛顿，美媒：难熬的日子终于要结束了！ 去年11月，旅居美国华盛顿国家动物园（又称美国史密森尼学会国家动物园）二十余载的大熊猫“美香”、“添添”和幼崽“小奇迹”一起搭乘专机返回中国成都。半年多来，这家动物园一直没有熊猫展出。近日，这家动物园宣布与中方开启新一轮大熊猫保护合作。具体是怎样的安排？美国民众又有怎样的期待？ Welcome Back, Pandas! Two Furry Diplomats Are Headed to the D.C. Zoo. By Katie Rogers and Aishvarya Kavi It was a long and terrible six months without giant pandas, but this unbearable (sorry) drought will soon be over. The Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute announced on Wednesday that two new fuzzy diplomats will soon be on their way to the United States from China. The pandas, Bao Li and Qing Bao, will be flown over before the end of the year, the zoo said in a statement. They are both 2 years old - young for a Washington power couple - and their anticipated arrival is after the departure in November of two adult pandas, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, who are the grandparents of the male, Bao Li. If pandas of Washington's past are any indication, the two newbies, who will arrive aboard a special FedEx aircraft, will be touching down to much fanfare. At the entrance to the "Asia trail" that leads to the exhibit where the pandas lived and will return, a small sign hailing the new arrivals was posted. Inside a nearby shop, merchandise was already available, including a $3 sticker with a simple promise: "The pandas are coming." James Reeves, 44, who works at the shop outside the panda exhibit, said he was used to fielding questions from visitors about where the pandas were and when they were coming back. Now he finally had an answer. "November is around the time we should be getting them here," Mr. Reeves said. "Then they go through a quarantine process. It should be open around the beginning of next year." 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.furry英 [ˈfɜːri] 美 [ˈfɜrːi]adj. __________________________ 2.fur n. __________________________ 3.diplomat英 [ˈdɪpləmæt] 美 [ˈdɪpləmæt]n. __________________________ 4.unbearable英 [ʌnˈbeərəbl] 美 [ʌnˈberəbl]adj. __________________________ 5.bear v. __________________________；n. __________________________ 6.drought英 [draʊt] 美 [draʊt]n. __________________________ 7.conservation英 [ˌkɒnsəˈveɪʃn] 美 [ˌkɑːnsərˈveɪʃn]n. __________________________ 8.conserve v. __________________________ 9.institute英 [ˈɪnstɪtʃuːt] 美 [ˈɪnstətuːt]n. __________________________ 10.announce英 [əˈnaʊns] 美 [əˈnaʊns]v. __________________________ 11.power couple英 [ˈpaʊər ˌkʌpəl] 美 [ˈpaʊər ˌkʌpəl]n. __________________________ 12.anticipated英 [anˈtɪsɪpeɪtɪd] 美 [ænˈtɪsɪˌpeɪdɪd]adj. __________________________ 13.anticipate v. __________________________ 14.departure英 [dɪˈpɑːtʃər] 美 [dɪˈpɑːrtʃər]n. __________________________ 15.indication英 [ˌɪndɪˈkeɪʃn] 美 [ˌɪndəˈkeɪʃn]n. __________________________ 16.aboard英 [əˈbɔːd] 美 [əˈbɔːrd]prep.__________________________ 17.fanfare英 [ˈfænfeə] 美 [ˈfænfer]n. 号角齐鸣；（媒体上的）大肆宣传 18.hail英 [heɪl] 美 [heɪl]v. 呼喊，打招呼 19.merchandise英 [ˈmɜːtʃndaɪs] 美 [ˈmɜrːtʃəndaɪs]n. 商品，货品 20.sticker英 [ˈstɪkər] 美 [ˈstɪkər]n. 贴纸 21.field n. 田地；场地；有......的大片的地方；v. 处理，应付 22.quarantine英 [ˈkwɒrntiːn] 美 [ˈkwɔːrntiːn]n. 隔离 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.毛茸茸的小动物 _____________________ 2.无法忍受的 _____________________ 3.创造力 _____________________ 4.节省 _____________________ 5.保护 _____________________ 6.能源 _____________________ 7.野生动物 _____________________ 8.艺术学院 _____________________ 9.麻省理工学院（MIT） _____________________ 10.金融机构 _____________________ 11.精神病院 _____________________ 12.宣布 _____________________ 13.宣布给某人 _____________________ 14.着陆，抵达 _____________________ 15.……的入口 _____________________ 16.品种丰富的 _____________________ 17.商品价格的 _____________________ 18.处理、回答 _____________________ 19.麦田 _____________________ 20.降落场 _____________________ 21.天然气田 _____________________ 拓展练习阅读理解 “Digital art with iPad and Apple Pencil has helped to expand my creative thinking.” Apichaya "Bim" Wannakit is starting her fourth year in painting, sculpture, and graphic art at Silpakorn University in Bangkok, in the heart of the modern Thai art scene. Growing up in Northeast Thailands creative community in Ubon Ratchatani, Bim developed her passion for art at a young age. She took inspiration from anime like "Dragon Ball Z" cartoons she saw on television and the "Manga" comic books she collected. She put years of hands-on practice into her illustrations using brushes, watercolors, and oil paints. In high school, she discovered even more ways to express herself and expand her creative palette when she started using iPad with Apple Pencil. “I quickly adapted to the precision and flexibility of digital painting using Apple Pencil,” Bim says. “It brought my entire art kit into one magical tool, without sacrificing the natural feel of traditional mediums. It allows me a new way to bring my ideas to life.” When it was time to get ready for university, Bim used iPad to bring her art portfolio together, capturing and storing all her mixed media digitally in iCloud. Bim says, “I initially chose Apple technology because of its cloud service for file management and simple-to-learn design interface — iPad has made my life easier.” Today she uses Procreate on iPad with Apple Pencil for all her creative workflows. Features such as QuickShape and StreamLine with Apple Pencil enable her to quickly add layers, outlines, colors, and shadows in an immersive and playful way. “My love for traditional painting and digital art brings me a new sense of balance. My Apple devices help to make this possible from anywhere.” iPad also supports her daily academic work. Bim uses Apple Pencil with GoodNotes for note-taking, and Microsoft Word on iPad for creating art descriptions. “In class, I use iPad Pro to present my work,” Bim says. “And the 12.9-inch screen is large enough for my professor to view my art comfortably.” “Through my art, I want to tell a story that inspires others and creates a space for experimental ideas.” 33．What does Bim Wannakit value most about using Apple devices for her art? A．The cost-effectiveness of the devices. B．The ability to create a balance between traditional and digital art. C．The simplicity of the design interface. D．The ease of file management through cloud services. 34．Why did Bim choose to use iPad and Apple Pencil for her artistic work? A．They replicated the feel of traditional art materials exactly. B．They provided a cheaper alternative to professional art tools. C．They allowed her to combine digital flexibility with a natural drawing feel. D．They were the only tools available to her at the time. 35．According to the article, how has Bim's artistic practice been enhanced by digital tools? A．She can now create larger artworks than before. B．She has access to a wider range of colors and textures. C．She can share her work instantly with a global audience. D．She can experiment with new techniques and styles more easily. 36．Bim mentioned that GoodNotes and Microsoft Word have been helpful in her academic work. What are the main uses of these tools? A．Creating detailed sketches for her art projects. B．Organizing her research and writing academic papers. C．Editing photos for her online art gallery. D．Designing promotional materials for art exhibitions. 外刊精选答案 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.furry英 [ˈfɜːri] 美 [ˈfɜrːi]adj. 毛茸茸的 2.fur n. （动物身上浓厚的）软毛 3.diplomat英 [ˈdɪpləmæt] 美 [ˈdɪpləmæt]n. 外交官 4.unbearable英 [ʌnˈbeərəbl] 美 [ʌnˈberəbl]adj. 无法忍受的 5.bear v. 忍受，承受；n. 熊 6.drought英 [draʊt] 美 [draʊt]n. 干旱；长期缺乏、严重短缺 7.conservation英 [ˌkɒnsəˈveɪʃn] 美 [ˌkɑːnsərˈveɪʃn]n. 节约资源；保护 8.conserve v. 节省；保护 9.institute英 [ˈɪnstɪtʃuːt] 美 [ˈɪnstətuːt]n. 机构，研究所 10.announce英 [əˈnaʊns] 美 [əˈnaʊns]v. 宣布，宣告 11.power couple英 [ˈpaʊər ˌkʌpəl] 美 [ˈpaʊər ˌkʌpəl]n. 权力夫妇，明星夫妇 12.anticipated英 [anˈtɪsɪpeɪtɪd] 美 [ænˈtɪsɪˌpeɪdɪd]adj. 让人期盼的 13.anticipate v. 预料，预计 14.departure英 [dɪˈpɑːtʃər] 美 [dɪˈpɑːrtʃər]n. 离开 15.indication英 [ˌɪndɪˈkeɪʃn] 美 [ˌɪndəˈkeɪʃn]n. 象征，迹象 16.aboard英 [əˈbɔːd] 美 [əˈbɔːrd]prep. 在 (船或飞机) 上 17.fanfare英 [ˈfænfeə] 美 [ˈfænfer]n. 号角齐鸣；（媒体上的）大肆宣传 18.hail英 [heɪl] 美 [heɪl]v. 呼喊，打招呼 19.merchandise英 [ˈmɜːtʃndaɪs] 美 [ˈmɜrːtʃəndaɪs]n. 商品，货品 20.sticker英 [ˈstɪkər] 美 [ˈstɪkər]n. 贴纸 21.field n. 田地；场地；有......的大片的地方；v. 处理，应付 22.quarantine英 [ˈkwɒrntiːn] 美 [ˈkwɔːrntiːn]n. 隔离 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.small furry animals 毛茸茸的小动物 2.unbearable pain 无法忍受的疼痛 3.a drought of creativity 创造力枯竭 4.conserve energy 节省能源 5.conserve forests 保护森林 6.energy conservation 能源节约 7.wildlife conservation 野生动物保护 8.the Academy of Arts Institute 艺术学院 9.Massachusetts Institute of Technology 麻省理工学院（MIT） 10.a financial institution 金融机构 11.a mental institution 精神病院 12.announce something 宣布某事 13.announce something to somebody 向某人宣布某事 14.touch down着陆，抵达 15.the entrance to something……的入口 16.a wide selection of merchandise 品种丰富的商品 17.a drop in commodity prices 商品价格的下跌 18.field questions处理、回答问题 19.a field of wheat 麦田 20.a landing field 降落场 21.gas fields 天然气田 【全文翻译】 大熊猫们，欢迎回来！两只毛茸茸的“外交官”将前往华盛顿动物园。 没有大熊猫的六个月既漫长又难熬，但是这种让人难以忍受的（不好意思哈，这个词恰好也可以理解为“没有熊的”）、空落落的日子很快就要结束了。 周三（当地时间5月29日），美国史密森尼学会国家动物园和生物保护研究所宣布，两位毛茸茸的新外交官将很快从中国启程前往美国。园方在一份声明中表示，大熊猫“宝力”和“青宝”将在今年年底之前飞抵美国。 “宝力”和“青宝”都是2岁，作为华盛顿的一对明星夫妇，它们还年幼。继去年11月“美香”和“添添”两只成年大熊猫离开之后，这两只年幼的大熊猫将前往美国。“美香”和“添添”是雄性大熊猫“宝力”的外祖父母。 应该和以往一样，这两只新大熊猫将搭乘联邦快递专机前往华盛顿，也一定会受到热烈欢迎。 园区内，有一条“亚洲小径”通往大熊猫以前生活过、并且再次到来后将居住的展区。入口处矗立着一个小牌子，欢迎新大熊猫的到来。在附近的一家商店里，已经可以买到大熊猫的周边商品，比如定价3美元的贴纸，上面写着一个简单的承诺：“大熊猫就要来了。” 44岁的詹姆斯·里夫斯（James Reeves）在熊猫展区外的商店工作。他表示，他已经习惯了回答游客们关于“大熊猫在哪里”以及“什么时候回来”等问题。现在，他终于有了答案。 “大概在今年11月，熊猫就会回来。”里夫斯说。“之后，它们要经过隔离程序。应该会在明年初向公众展出。” 拓展练习阅读理解 33．B 34．C 35．B 36．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。iPad和苹果铅笔的数字艺术帮助艺术爱好者Bim Wannakit 进行艺术创作,拓展了创造性思维。 33．细节理解题。根据文章第四段““I quickly adapted to the precision and flexibility of digital painting using Apple Pencil,” Bim says. “It brought my entire art kit into one magical tool, without sacrificing the natural feel of traditional mediums.
