必修第2册 Unit 5 On the road(Word练习)-【创新教程】2025年高考英语艺考生文化课总复习（外研版）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 [A]　话题：母女旅游，拉进关系 My daughter is out of the ordinary. Three years ago, halfway through college, my 22­year­old daughter dropped out and became a farmer in Vermont. Next stop was California, where she raised goats. Now she is in Costa Rica, where she manages a wellness retreat center. But I've learned to let go and accepted that her choices are not mine. As I saw how my daughter had chosen to live her life, I thought hard about my own, especially the part about jumping off the set path. Over time my job had become less fulfilling. As I looked at what I wanted to accomplish in the last years of my working life, this wasn't it. So I prepared carefully and left my job. To celebrate my new freedom, my daughter and I had decided to meet in Arizona the week after my job ended. We went to the Shaman's Cave. At the top of it, the road became narrow. I stepped on to the path behind my daughter and looked down at the canyon floor. I walked backward, my heart beating fast. Sitting down hard on a rock, I started to cry, the fear becoming more serious. My daughter sat beside me, soothed me and promised not to leave my side. She sang quietly encouraging me to breathe deeply. Then, after sitting quietly for a while, I took my courage and followed her. I know that my cry that day was less about the drop of the mountain and more about the drop I'd just made in my life. Leaving my job hit me at some point. Luckily, my daughter was there. From that day on, I saw my daughter in a new way. I began to learn to appreciate her. 1．What do we know about the author's daughter? A．She performed badly at school. B．She quitted school in the middle of college. C．Her mother couldn't understand her. D．She managed a wellness retreat center when in college. 2．What does the underlined word “soothed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Protected.　　　　　 B．Observed. C．Refreshed. D．Comforted. 3．Why did the author leave her job? A．Her job failed to give her the sense of achievement. B．She followed her daughter's footsteps. C．The pressure of her job made her depressed. D．She hoped to communicate with her daughter more. 4．What can we infer about the author's trip? A．It made her regret leaving her job. B．It gave her courage to face challenges. C．It caused her to see her daughter in a new perspective. D．It made her love her daughter more. [语篇解读]　这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是一个失业的母亲与她的不同寻常的女儿在一次旅行中找寻到新的见解，母女关系也更亲近。 1．B　[细节理解题。根据第一段“Three years ago, halfway through college, my 22­year­old daughter dropped out and became a farmer in Vermont. (三年前，我22岁的女儿在大学中途辍学，成为佛蒙特州的一名农民。)”可知，作者的女儿在大学中途辍学。] 2．D　[词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词上文“My daughter sat beside me (我的女儿坐在我身边)”以及下文“promised not to leave my side. (保证不会离开我身边)”可知，女儿在安慰作者，可推理出划线词的含义为“安慰”。] 3．A　[细节理解题。根据第二段“Over time my job had become less fulfilling. As I looked at what I wanted to accomplish in the last years of my working life, this wasn't it. So I prepared carefully and left my job. (随着时间的推移，我的工作变得不那么有成就感了。当我看到我在工作生涯的最后几年想要完成的事情时，事实并非如此。所以我认真准备，然后离开了工作。)”可知作者辞职的原因是因为作者在工作中无法获得成就感。] 4．C　[推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“From that day on, I saw my daughter in a new way. I began to learn to appreciate her. (从那天起，我以一种新的方式看待我的女儿。我开始学会欣赏她。)”可推理出作者改变了看待女儿的方式，从新的角度看待女儿。] [B]　话题：木自行车，利大于弊 Bicycle riding has taken the world by storm. Bicycles are typically made of steel or aluminum but now there is a unique company that is growing bikes on trees, literally. These bicycles are made of British­grown ash trees by Welsh maker Andy Dix. His Hay­on­Wye company, Twmpa Frames, is making bikes that are of high performance and environmentally sustainable. “It's great to push for more bikes and fewer cars on the road, but there's no escaping the fact that the bike industry as a whole is pretty energy intensive, ” Dix told Cycling Industry, “I've always tried to minimize environmental impact in my work. Rather than relying on heavily­processed metals, or layers of plastic that will one day end up in landfill, I'm building bikes from captured carbon, in a process powered by sunlight.” It took two years to build the prototype (雏形) that was made from ash wood. Dix tested the wooden bike on the roughest roads he could find and discovered that it was comfortable, durable, and excellent at absorbing shakes. He put more than 3, 000 miles on the bike. Dix explained, “I was running along battered roads that would have shaken me to bits on as aluminum bike. The_penny_dropped:_Not only could I make a bike out of wood, but it had inherent advantages over other materials.” Though cutting down trees can add to more carbon in the atmosphere, sustainable tree farming is possible. Dix said that manufacturing a British tonne of aluminum results in carbon emissions of 4,532 kg while producing a tonne of wood only emits 457 kg. Currently, the cost of a new Twmpa Cycle is out of reach for many bicycle riders; but the idea of using sustainable materials like ash trees could start a new cycling revolution that puts the environment first. Helping the environment could be just a pedal away. 5．What's Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The driving force for wooden bikes. B．The reasons for choosing the materials for building bikes. C．The problems with cycling industry. D．The process of building wooden bikes. 6．What does the underlined part “The penny dropped” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Money was missing. B．The truth came out. C．The bike broke down. D．The efforts were in vain. 7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Logging trees is a wrong practice. B．Developing sustainable forestry is a must. C．The wooden bike does more good than harm. D．Carbon emission calls for urgent attention. 8．Which of the following is a suitable title of the text? A．Amazing? Bikes Grow on Trees B．Less Carbon, More Sustainable C．No Innovation, No Development D．Amusing? Bike Riding Is Taking off [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。介绍一种长在树上的自行车，即用白蜡树做成的环保自行车。 5．B　[主旨大意题。根据第二段“‘It's great to push for more bikes and fewer cars on the road, but there's no escaping the fact that the bike industry as a whole is pretty energy intensive，’ Dix told Cycling Industry, ‘I've always tried to minimize environmental impact in my work. Rather than relying on heavily­processed metals, or layers of plastic that will one day end up in landfill, I'm building bikes from captured carbon, in a process powered by sunlight.’ (迪克斯告诉《自行车产业》：‘推动道路上多骑自行车、少开汽车是件好事，但不可否认的事实是，自行车行业作为一个整体是相当能源密集型的。我一直试图在工作中尽量减少对环境的影响。我不是依靠经过大量加工的金属，或者有一天会被扔进垃圾填埋场的塑料，我从捕获的碳中制造自行车，这个过程由阳光驱动。’)”可知，迪克斯介绍了选择制造自行车材料的原因：尽量减少对环境的影响。] 6．B　[习语猜测题。根据第三段最后两句“Dix explained, ‘I was running along battered roads that would have shaken me to bits on an aluminum bike. The_penny_dropped:_Not only could I make a bike out of wood, but it had inherent advantages over other materials.’ (迪克斯解释说：‘我当时正沿着崎岖的道路行驶，如果骑在铝制自行车上，我可能会被震成碎片。我不仅可以用木头制造自行车，而且它比其他材料具有固有的优势。’)”可知，在崎岖的道路上，如果骑在铝制自行车上可能会被震成碎片，从而说明了木头制造的自行车比其他材料更具有优势。根据句意及划线词后的冒号可知，前句铝制自行车的情况更加证明了后句木头制造自行车的优势，即，The truth came out.引出真相。] 7．C　[推理判断题。根据末段“Though cutting down trees can add to more carbon in the atmosphere, sustainable tree farming is possible. Dix said that manufacturing a British tonne of aluminum results in carbon emissions of 4, 532 kg while producing a tonne of wood only emits 457 kg. Currently, the cost of a new Twmpa Cycle is out of reach for many bicycle riders; but the idea of using sustainable materials like ash trees could start a new cycling revolution that puts the environment first. Helping the environment could be just a pedal away. (虽然砍伐树木会增加大气中的碳含量，但可持续的树木种植是可能的。迪克斯说，生产一吨铝会产生4 532公斤的碳排放，而生产一吨木材只会产生457公斤的碳排放。目前，一辆新的Twmpa自行车的价格超出了许多骑自行车的人的承受能力；但是，使用像白蜡树这样的可持续材料的想法可能会引发一场新的自行车革命，将环境放在第一位。帮助环境可能只是一个踏板之遥。)”可知，虽然砍伐树木制造自行车会增加大气中的碳含量，但是使用像白蜡树这样的可持续材料的想法可能会引发一场新的自行车革命，将环境放在第一位。木制自行车利大于弊。] 8．A　[主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据首段第二句“Bicycles are typically made of steel or aluminum but now there is a unique company that is growing bikes on trees, literally. (自行车通常是由钢或铝制成的，但现在有一家独特的公司正在树上种植自行车。)”可知，本文主要介绍一种长在树上的自行车，即，用白蜡树做成的环保自行车。Amazing? Bikes Grow on Trees“神奇吗？自行车长在树上”符合全文大意。] Ⅱ.七选五 话题：摄影技术，提高建议 Four Things You Can Do To Improve Your Photography Photography is an art form that just gets better and better as technology improves.__1__. Here are a few you can try today to help you become a better artist tomorrow! Start a daily practice and set up unique challenges One of the best things I did was setting up a daily practice.__2__. We feel that the lighting has to be perfect, the subject has to be perfect, and the station has to be perfect.But that is far from the truth.In order to improve your photography, all you have to do is practice.Practice regularly and consistently. Shoot in Manual mode When I first started my business, I photographed in Auto mode.But once I gave myself the permission to fail, learn, and try Manual mode, I never looked back.Manual mode is more than just a button on your camera.It is a chance for you to really understand how exposure works by controlling the elements such as shutter speed, f­stop, and ISO.__3__. __4__ There are many different ways to add a little creativity to your photography.Using double or triple exposures, shooting through elements, or even plying with shutter speed can be a way to be different.All these techniques help you break up the dullness of your own work. Learn about light in different situations As a photographer, you need to not only see light but also need to learn the art of reading light: the type of light, the quality of light, and also how the light will affect your final image.For the first few years of my business，I had a very limited knowledge of light.__5__.I learned very quickly that I needed to get out of my comfort zone and figure out how to photograph different lighting situations. A．Take time to connect with your subject B．Try creative shooting in your photography C．I hope these simple tips help you get confident in your photography D．Oftentimes, we are our biggest critic and try to wait for the most prefect chance E．The more you play around with these elements, the more you will learn about your own style of photography F．But living in Chicago, our summers are quite short, and fall is usually a mix of rain, thunderstorms and more rain G．There are lots of simple and easy ways for you to improve your photography [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。摄影是一种随着技术的进步而变得越来越好的艺术形式。文章主要介绍了提高摄影水平的四个建议。 1．G　[根据上文“Photography is an art form that just gets better and better as technology improves.(摄影是一种随着技术的进步而变得越来越好的艺术形式。)”以及后文“Here are a few you can try today to help you become a better artist tomorrow！(这里有一些你今天可以尝试，帮助你明天成为一个更好的艺术家的方法！)”可知，上文提到了摄影，后文则提到了一些提高摄影水平的方法，故G选项“有很多简单易行的方法可以帮助你提高你的摄影水平。”符合语境。] 2．D　[根据上文“One of the best things I did was setting up a daily practice.(我做的最好的一件事就是开始每天练习。)”以及后文“We feel that the lighting has to be perfect, the subject...to do is practice.Practice regularly and consistently.”可知，后文提到我们总是要求一切都必须是完美的，说明对自己过于苛刻，试图等待最完美的机会，D选项中the most prefect对应后文中to be prefect。故D选项“通常，我们是自己最大的批评者，试图等待最完美的机会。”符合语境。] 3．E　[根据上文“Manual mode is more than just a button on your camera.It is a chance for you to really understand how exposure works by controlling the elements such as shutter speed, f­stop, and ISO”可知，上文提到了控制快门速度、光圈和ISO等元素来真正了解曝光原理的机会，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明控制这些元素的影响是：你摆弄这些元素越多，你就会了解到更多你自己的摄影风格，E选项中these elements对应上文中the elements。故E选项“你摆弄这些元素越多，你就会了解到更多你自己的摄影风格。”符合语境。] 4．B　[根据本段内容“There are many different ways to add...help you break up the dullness of your own work.(有很多不同的方法可以给你的摄影增加一点创造力。使用双曝光或三次曝光，通过元素拍摄，甚至使用快门速度都可以是一种不同的方式。所有这些技巧都能帮助你摆脱工作的枯燥。)”可知，本段主要是关于如何给摄影增加创造性，B选项中creative对应后文中creativity。故B选项“在你的摄影中尝试创造性的拍摄。”符合语境。] 5．F　[根据上文“I had a very limited knowledge of light.(我对光的了解非常有限。)”以及后文“I learned very quickly that I needed to get out of my comfort zone and figure out how to photograph different lighting situations.”可知，后文提到了走出舒适区，推测本句是在说明居住地的情况。故F选项“但是住在芝加哥，我们的夏天很短，秋天通常是雨水、雷暴和更多雨水的混合。”符合语境。] [日积月累]　阅读理解A篇 Sitting down hard on a rock, I started to cry, the fear becoming more serious. Sitting down hard on a rock.是v.­ing形式作状语；the fear becoming more serious是独立主格。句意：我艰难地坐在一块岩石上，开始哭泣，恐惧变得更加严重。_ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
