He fights for wildlife in the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC). As a child, he was attracted by animals — gorillas lived in the forests outside his hometown of Bukavu in the DRC — but his path to conservation was circuitous (曲折的). In the mid-1990s, civil war sent him to South Africa, where for a time he struggled to survive. Later he found jobs in journalism and then mining. One day, while flying to a gold mine in northeastern Congo, Cassinga looked down on the green canonpy (树冠) near Garamba National Park. There were armed groups, poachers (偷猎者), and black-market profiteers operating in the country’s parks. Then he decided to change course. So in 2013, he started Conserv Congo, a group of undercover investigators — including police officers, politicians, and students — who track wildlife criminals. In 2017, four years after Conserv Congo was first registered, Cassinga made his first arrest, working alongside the authorities. The non-profit now has worked on more than 6,000 criminal cases, rescued hundreds of rare animals. “If we want our children to see these animals, we have to do it,” Cassinga says. “Other people come as part of their job, but it’s not their duty to protect what’s ours.” Today, Conserv Congo has a renewable five-year partnership with the state environmental agency, Congo Institute for Nature Conservation(ICCN), which is in the charge of the environment ministry. Cassinga places great value in winning over the hearts and minds of the police. officers he works with: “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to turn them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love.” he says. 1.Why was Cassinga’s journey to be a conservator so winding? A.He was attracted by animals when he was a child.

Other people like to make gestures that can be confusing. And still others don’t use their hands much at all. No matter which group you are in, it’s important to pay attention to your hand gestures while you are communicating. And also remember hand gestures can have cultural meanings. A few years ago, I was a speaker at a conference in Lisbon, Portugal. It was my first time in Portugal, and I became immediately fond of the special pastries (糕点) that Lisbon and Portugal are known for. One morning I went into a bakery and ordered two of the pastries. I did so by holding up two fingers, similar to the “victory” or “peace” gesture in the United States. The person behind the counter put three pastries in the box. I later learned that the gesture for two would raise thumb and index finger. Even though my thumb wasn’t showing, the person behind the counter thought I was signaling for three. I was lucky that I didn’t get into more trouble than an extra pastry. Many hand gestures are not universal. Before speaking in a country that you are not familiar with, do some research to find out which gestures might be misunderstood, not understood at all or rude. 1.Why did the author go to Lisbon, Portugal? A.To taste pastries. B.To take a holiday. C.To attend a meeting. D.To learn Portuguese culture. 2.What does the underlined word “universal” refer to in para.3? A.Normal. B.Independent. C.Common. D.Complex. 3.What can we learn from the author’s experience? A.One should be careful when ordering food in Portugal. B.Hand gestures may have different meanings in different cultures. C.The person behind the counter understood the author’s gesture. D.The person behind the counter cheated the author. 4.The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______. A.tell us that hand gestures are not the same worldwide B.explain the general use of gestures C.ask us to use correct hand gestures in Portugal D.share a funny story in Portugal (23-24高二上·云南昭通·期中)On a cold February morning, a short woman with a violin case stood at an entrance to the subway station in Time Square. She opened the case, got out her violin and started to play. She played seven pieces for about 52 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1, 200 people went through the station, most of whom were on their way to work. Four minutes later, a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to her. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule. The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurriedly, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. Al the parents, without exception, forced them to move on. In the 52 minutes the musician played, only 5 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 18 gave her money, but continued to walk their normal pace. She collected $34. When she finished playing and silently left, no one noticed it. No one clapped, nor was there any recognition. No one knew this, but the violinist was Ronya Bell, one of the musical geniuses in the world. She had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 4 million dollars. Two days before her playing in the subway, the tickets to her performance were sold out at a theatre in Chicago where the seats averaged $150. This is a real story. Ronya Bell’s playing at the subway station was organized as part of a social experiment. One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing? 1.Why did few people stop to listen to Ronya Bell playing? A.The performance was not good enough. B.They were not interested in music. C.It was too cold in the subway. D.People were in a hurry. 2.What did the parents do when their children stopped to look at the violinist? A.They would applaud for the performance. B.They would urge them to continue walking. C.They would stop to enjoy the music. D.They would give her some money. 3.Why did Ronya Bell play at the entrance to the subway station? A.To find out people’s reaction under such circumstances. B.To practise her skills in playing music in public. C.To make an advertisement for her future concert in Chicago. D.To make more money. 4.What is the purpose of the passage? A.To tell us the importance of enjoying music. B.To show us how to play music. C.To make us think about our fast-paced life. D.To report a unique subway performance. (23-24高二上·山西朔州·期中)Greg Heffley is the main character in Jeff Kinney’s best-selling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series of books. Greg is a middle school student with big dreams.

Greg Heffley is a thin but ambitious kid with an active imagination and big plans to be rich and famous — he just has to survive middle school first. To make matters worse, Greg’s lovable best friend, Rowley seems to sail through life and succeed at everything without even trying! As details of his extremely funny — and often disastrous — attempts to infill the pages of his journal, Greg learns to appreciate true friends and the satisfaction that comes from standing up for what is right.

(23-24高二上·河南驻马店·期中)When four young children were found after 40 days in the Colombian Amazon forest, the rescuers noticed that the oldest, 13-year-old Lesly Mucutuy, had some seeds hidden between her teeth. The seeds were from a native Amazon palm tree known as “milpesos” in Colombia. Its fruits are rich in fat and Amazon tribes use them to make a vegetable oil. “She was keeping them so that the warmth of her mouth would open up the seeds and she could feed the pulp (果肉) to her younger sisters and brothers,” said Eliecer Muñoz, one of the four guards who made the very first contact with the children. “That’s how they stayed alive.” Survival experts have been trying to answer this question: How did the four children—the youngest just a baby—survive in the heart of the Amazon rainforest for so long? The stretch of the jungle they were found in is one of the most remote and difficult to reach in Colombia, where wild animals and poisonous insects are plentiful, rains can pour for over 15 hours a day and visibility is sometimes limited to 10 meters due to the thick vegetation. In more than a month without adults, they appear to have survived on wild fruits and three pounds of cassava flour, a high-protein traditional food of the Amazon diet, which they got from the wreckage (残骸) of the plane. When found, the children had bottles they used to collect water, either from streams or from the rain. While their survival remains a marvel, it was no doubt facilitated by traditional knowledge of the forest they acquired from a remarkably young age. Lesly, in particular, is praised for not only staying alive herself, but also making sure her younger sisters and brothers would survive following the loss of their mother in the plane crash. Nelly Kuiru, an activist, believes that her courage goes far beyond botanical skills: “Ancestral, traditional knowledge is more than that Lesly learnt to pick fruits, but there’s something much deeper there, a spiritual connection with the forest surrounding us.” 1.Eliecer Muñoz viewed Lesly’s keeping seeds in her mouth as____________. A.a survival skill B.a rescue technique C.an eating habit D.a unique culture 2.What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A.The exact cause of the plane crash. B.The detailed search and rescue operations. C.The food the children depended on to stay alive. D.The difficulty of surviving in the Amazon rainforest. 3.Which words can best describe Lesly? A.Talented and experienced. B.Intelligent and responsible. C.Honest and knowledgeable. D.Creative and open-minded. 4.What does Nelly Kuiru mainly want to show in the last paragraph? A.Botanical skills are more important than courage. B.Lesly learned to find food in the forest from her ancestors. C.Lesly is connected with her living environment spiritually. D.Picking fruits is the basic knowledge to survive in the forest. (23-24高二上·湖北孝感·期中)A few years ago, I moved to a window office and sent an email letting everyone know. In the email, I jokingly invited everyone to come by for a “tour” of the new space. I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office, I saw a box on my desk. There was a note on it, saying, “Happy new office!” The person didn’t sign it. I was so happy with that. I didn’t feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me. In fact, I found myself thanking everyone in the office. It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day. The water was coming in. Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves. The owners were nowhere to be seen, so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose. When the couple who owned the chairs showed up. I couldn’t help myself. I went over, pointed to the waves, and said. “A couple of hours ago, your chairs were out there.” “Oh, thanks so much for pulling them in,” said the guy. “We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away.” “Don’t worry about it,” I said, as I walked away. Then these words came to my mind, “You have your reward.” Then I realized when I went over to the couple, I was looking for something. If they hadn’t shown anything after I told what I had done, it would have upset me. In our life, people who show their good deeds are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don’t celebrate their generosity. However, when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the other know, we do more than show kindness. We’re just giving to communicate an invaluable message, “You’re loved. You’re important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return.” 1.How did the author feel when she saw the box? A.Nervous and thankful. B.Bored and painful. C.Happy and grateful. D.Stressed and tired. 2.What can we infer about the author when she was on the beach? A.She told the couple what she did. B.She was lucky to meet with a kind couple. C.She got angry at keeping moving the chairs. D.She didn’t think the couple liked the chairs. 3.Which word can replace the underlined word “resent” in paragraph 6? A.Avoid. B.Hate. C.Love D.Persuade. 4.What does the author advise us to do through the text? A.Do what we can to help more people. B.Show love to someone important to you. C.Show kindness to those who dislike you. D.Give without expecting anything in return. (23-24高二上·辽宁本溪·期中)Mundi, a 41-year-old female elephant, was orphaned (使……成为孤儿) at a young age, captured, and sold to the Mayaguez Zoo in Puerto Rico. The animals housed at the zoo were in such bad shape that they were being moved to various shelters under an order from the US Department of Justice. Mundi was the zoo’s major attraction. Her departure caused so much argument that armed guards came to see her off the island. She was so popular that people lined the streets to say goodbye. Mundi’s new home is certainly beautiful. After living in the zoo for 35 years with no other elephants, Mundi met Bo and Tarra, with whom she’s now sharing 850 acres. She was first housed in a separate place, but she and the other elephants could see each other, and they started getting along quickly. Soon, Mundi was no longer separated from the others. Tarra immediately acted as a big sister and mentor to Mundi, while Bo became her playmate. Now, they spend a lot of time together and the public can watch their interaction and learn about their behaviors on the shelter’s official website. Carol Buckley, the founder of Elephant Aid International, first imagined setting up the Georgia shelter after meeting Tarra in 1974, when the elephant was less than a year old. At the time, Tarra belonged to the owner of a tire store, who used her to advertise the place. Buckley ultimately became an advocate for elephants worldwide and designed the retirement home in Attapulgus to address their needs. Attapulgus was selected as the location for the shelter because its climate allows the elephants to be outdoors most of the time, almost year-round. 1.What can be inferred about the animals in Mayaguez Zoo?

How are you going to be able to find your way around?” These are the most common questions I heard after I told people I was going to study abroad in China, a country that seemed so far away. Why risk dealing with that when Paris or London would be so much more accessible? But a part of studying abroad is about embracing (欣然接受) the inaccessible. I took Chinese in high school and fell in love with it. Ever since I started college, I was determined to study in China. Three years later, I made it happen. Of course, it was not easy. At the airport, people spoke English so I didn’t worry too much about finding my way around. And then I met other foreign students who would become my best friends for five straight months. But once leaving the airport and downtown areas, we were fully immersed (沉浸) in China. I lived in a more suburb-like (类似城郊的) area, more residential than the rest of Shanghai. People always looked at us curiously as we went about our days and few of them spoke English. It was awkward at first. Slowly, as we got more used to the language, people talked with us. Of course, they wanted to know the differences between living in America and living in China. My roommate studied abroad in Ireland last semester while I was in China. There is nothing wrong with going to Europe, but if you want to broaden your horizons, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Living in a place that is so different from what I am used to gives me valuable experiences I can’ t get any other way. My Chinese teacher was so amazing and patient with us, and my other Chinese friends helped me through the difficult part of feeling out of place in the unknown. In a strange way, not being able to express everything I want brings me closer to people. 1.How did people feel when knowing the author’ s decision? A.Excited. B.Puzzled. C.Appreciated. D.Disappointed. 2.When did the author fall in love with Chinese? A.When she started college. B.When she was in high school. C.Three years after she went to college. D.The third year she studied in China. 3.What do we learn about the author’ s experience in China? A.She failed to get on with other foreign students. B.She once had difficulty finding her way to college. C.She spent little time sightseeing in the rest of Shanghai. D.She was uncomfortable with people’ s curious stares at first. 4.What might the author agree with according to the last paragraph? A.Language won’t be a problem for making friends. B.It isn’t wise for her roommate to study in Ireland. C.Her English-speaking friends make China a place of comfort. D.Nations need to clear up misunderstandings between each other. (23-24高二上·新疆伊犁·期中)As for Hallie Barnard, who was born with a rare blood disorder, a song, whose main idea is about a good friendship turning bad like the bad blood, meant a lot to her. The song represents her inborn struggle with a unique blood condition and the impact it has on her life. At just 15 months old, Hallie was diagnosed (诊断) with Diamond-Blackfan anemia(DBA) , and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. Hallie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy. The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and Hallie was eager for one. But she knew thousands of other patients were, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation, Hallie’s Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there’s so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant.” she said. “So, so far we’ve tested over 8,000 people and we found over 300 matches.” After a 9-year wait, Hallie got her own match through her own foundation. The recovery was hard, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. “I would just kind of daydream. And sometimes I would listen to her music and I would daydream about the singer and meeting her and seeing her in person,” Hallie said in her social media. When the singer’s assistant heard about Hallie’s Heroes and knew about her wish, he was inspired to help the selfless little girl who turned her own health battle into a way to help others and decided to give Hallie the surprise of a lifetime. He offered two tickets to the singer’s concert in Houston. When Hallie received a call offering her the tickets, she was shocked and enthusiastically accepted and attended the concert with her mother in the front row. Now Hallie has recovered.

(23-24高二上·广东深圳·期中)Large rocks formed one wall of Diana Kennedy’s home in Zitacuaro, around 170 kilometers west of Mexico City. Her gardens were full of herbs and other eatable plants; the home itself was built of locally made, often recycled materials. Shortly after her death, Mexico’s Culture Ministry called Quinta Diane, as she named her home, “an example of sustainability and protection of nature and biodiversity”. Ms. Kennedy bought the land in 1980 and it expanded in the following years. Born in Loughton, United Kingdom in 1923, Diana Kennedy had no formal cooking training and tried a variety of jobs. She went to Mexico in 1957 to marry Paul P. Kennedy and she soon began working on her first book, The Cuisines of Mexico, which was published in 1972. The plural (复数形式) was intentional: no English-speaking writer before her was determined to seek out and celebrate the wide range of Mexican food and cooking. She had seen Mexico modernize and develop, and she drew attention to the culinary disadvantages the increasing use of convenient but poor corn flour instead of earthy, sweet fresh corn flour, the tendency to rush rather than enjoy preparing food; the disappearing of Mexico’s forests. She was more a cooking anthropologist (人类学家) than an inventor. She didn’t create recipes; she gathered them, testing them dozens of times until the taste was as she remembered when she first tried them. She had great confidence in her approach, taking 14 years to research her final book, Oaxaca al Gusto: An Infinite Gastronomy, which was devoted to the country’s deliciously complex cuisine. It won a James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year. She was a strong supporter of traditional dishes. She understood that Mexican cuisine often has a sort of simplicity, using few ingredients at the peak of their ripeness, and prepared to let every flavor shine. She was deeply doubtful about cooking innovation and angry about the devaluing of what she considered as the world’s great cuisine. 1.What does Quinta Diana symbolize? A.The long history of Mexican cuisine. B.The idea of environmental protection. C.The special design of Mexican gardens. D.The unique culture of building materials. 2.What can we learn about Diana Kennedy? A.She married Paul P. Kennedy in Loughton in 1957. B.She was a well-trained cook before becoming a writer. C.She bought Quinta Diara soon after she moved to Mexico. D.She introduced a variety of Mexican food in her first book. 3.Which statement would Diana Kennedy agree with? A.Food should be prepared for quite a long time. B.Corn flour is not the best choice for Mexican cuisine. C.Food shouldn’t be made at the cost of damaging its nature. D.Complex ingredients should be added to Mexican cuisine. 4.Which of the following words can best describe Diana Kennedy? A.Determined and responsible. B.Cooperative and generous. C.Confident and sensitive. D.Optimistic and ambitious. (23-24高二上·山东德州·期中)In 2019, Wang Jibing, a food delivery rider, had an unpleasant experience due to the wrong address left by a customer.

This April, Wang published his second poetry collection, titled I Love This World Clumsily, featuring about 130 poems he has written since July 2022. “Poetry is like a distraction from stress and an opportunity to record my life. Whether it’s coping with pain, dealing with stressful situations, or coming to terms with life’s struggles, poetry makes me confident and happy,” says Wang. “The feedback from the readers is a big encouragement to me.

(23-24高二上·湖北黄冈·期中)On March 25,2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasn’t going to make it. Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live. “I saw him gasp, but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.” Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him. “I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.” Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him. “We were trying to persuade him to stay,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.” Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger. The couple’s lost boy had made it. “We’re the luckiest people in the world,” David told Today. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. “Emily burst into tears,” Kate said. “She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.” 1.Why was the newborn not going to make it? A.Because he had just moments to live. B.Because his heartbeat was nearly gone.

With the press of a button, his latest rap track fills the room. “I didn’t know spaces like this existed,” says Mylo, who grew up in the low-income neighborhood of Dorchester. He is one of the youngest musicians who, thanks to The Record Co. , has turned his music into a full-time occupation. Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it. McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technology student at Berklee College of Music, he was frustrated by the high costs of renting time in production studios. On average, a recording studio in Boston costs more than $100 per hour to rent. He saw a recording studio not as a private office for a man of means but as a community center available to all. So he took out loans, collected donations and opened a studio in a tiny basement in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Slowly but steadily, McArthur expanded it and eventually rented a new property to include spaces for practice and production. Today, The Record Co., with a full-time staff of more than 20 people, is a state-of-the art, 12,000-foot facility that can be rented for as little as $10 per hour. Each month, it receives about 1,000 reservations, and around 3,500 musicians pass through its doors. At The Record Co., the principle is clear: Music should be affordable for everyone, and so should the space for creating it. The building has been shaped not only with an ear to acoustics(音响效果)but also with an eye to ensure it is as welcoming to a musician in a wheelchair as to one who walks in with a guitar over the shoulder. 1.Why did McArthur found The Record Co.? A.To make musicians well-known. B.To make a fortune through music. C.To persuade people to pursue music. D.To make music production affordable. 2.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A.Provide some advice for musicians. B.Add some background information. C.Summarize the previous paragraphs. D.Launch an appeal for musical creation. 3.What does the underlined word “means” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Wealth. B.Method. C.Vision. D.Determination 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Bring Boston’s music to the world B.Turn music into a full-time occupation C.A recording studio has advanced facilities D.Music belongs to everyone at The Record Co. (23-24高二上·浙江宁波·期中)In late 2020, Detroit resident Oleita posted a video on Facebook that explained how to make sleeping bags from used potato chips and other snack bags. She could help the city’s homeless people find warmth during cold winters while also giving a second life to chip bags, which aren’t easily recyclable and usually end up in the trash. Almost immediately after Oleita posted that first call for bags, people took notice. Local businesses offered to serve as collection points, and volunteers raised their hands to get involved. “We’re all humans who share this planet together, and it’s my duty to make sure the person next to me has access to basic necessities,” says Oleita. “We have a major climate issue happening, and the people who are most influenced are those who are economically poor.” For most of the Chip Bag Project’s existence, Oleita made sleeping bags all by herself. Now, she has some help. The group operates with a core team of 10 volunteers who do everything from making and delivering the bags to sourcing financial sponsors and doing community outreach. The road to success has its ups and downs. For a while, the Chip Bag Project operated out of a small space donated by a local business, and the team recently had to leave. Yet they’re not giving up. Instead, the team does everything — including production, back-end business tasks and equipment and supply storage. Oleita has served as a community organizer for the past decade, and she has experienced homelessness herself. She knew that this project needed to do more than just hand out sleeping bags. “This isn’t just a trash issue; it’s also a climate issue. And it’s not just a climate issue, but a human issue too. I’m always thinking of the world as interconnected — energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transferred.” 1.What made Oleita want to help homeless people? A.Cold winter. B.Polluted environment. C.Personal experience. D.Social responsibility. 2.What can we know about the project? A.It consists of ten people. B.It is facing low efficiency. C.It managed to run well. D.It is just about a human issue. 3.Which of the following best describes Oleita? A.Modest. B.Kind-hearted. C.Ambitious. D.Self-motivated. 4.What is the text mainly about? A.A touching story. B.Turning trash into treasure. C.An accidental post. D.Helping people in need. 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$ 期中复习阅读理解之记叙文15篇 (名校期中真题) (23-24高二上·湖北·期中)Adams Cassinga has had many identities: Refugee (难民). Journalist. Mining consultant. And now defender of wildlife. He fights for wildlife in the Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC). As a child, he was attracted by animals — gorillas lived in the forests outside his hometown of Bukavu in the DRC — but his path to conservation was circuitous (曲折的). In the mid-1990s, civil war sent him to South Africa, where for a time he struggled to survive. Later he found jobs in journalism and then mining. One day, while flying to a gold mine in northeastern Congo, Cassinga looked down on the green canonpy (树冠) near Garamba National Park. There were armed groups, poachers (偷猎者), and black-market profiteers operating in the country’s parks. Then he decided to change course. So in 2013, he started Conserv Congo, a group of undercover investigators — including police officers, politicians, and students — who track wildlife criminals. In 2017, four years after Conserv Congo was first registered, Cassinga made his first arrest, working alongside the authorities. The non-profit now has worked on more than 6,000 criminal cases, rescued hundreds of rare animals. “If we want our children to see these animals, we have to do it,” Cassinga says. “Other people come as part of their job, but it’s not their duty to protect what’s ours.” Today, Conserv Congo has a renewable five-year partnership with the state environmental agency, Congo Institute for Nature Conservation(ICCN), which is in the charge of the environment ministry. Cassinga places great value in winning over the hearts and minds of the police. officers he works with: “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to turn them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love.” he says. 1.Why was Cassinga’s journey to be a conservator so winding? A.He was attracted by animals when he was a child. B.He was forced to be a defender of wildlife. C.He changed his jobs for many times before. D.He couldn’t go back to his country because of war. 2.What made Cassinga start Conserv Congo? A.He wanted to protect wildlife in the country. B.He wanted to realize his dream as a boss. C.He wanted to work with police officers and politicians. D.He wanted to turn people into nature lovers. 3.Which of the following can best describe Cassinga’s personality? A.Careful and brave. B.Easygoing and cautious. C.Determined and responsible. D.Generous and kind. 4.What’s the text mainly about? A.Illegal groups in the DRC killed rare animals. B.Adams Cassinga and rare animals in the DRC. C.Conserv Congo worked on criminal cases. D.Adams Cassinga, a fighter for wildlife in the DRC. 【答案】1.C 2.A 3.C 4.D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Adams Cassinga的生活经历和他作为刚果民主共和国(DRC)野生动物保护者的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the mid-1990s, civil war sent him to South Africa, where for a time he struggled to survive. Later he found jobs in journalism and then mining. (在20世纪90年代中期,内战将他送往南非,在那里他一度为生存而挣扎。后来他在新闻界找到了工作,然后在采矿业找到了工作。)”可知,Cassinga 在成为保护者之前曾多次更换工作,故选C项。 2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“There were armed groups, poachers(偷猎者), and black-market profiteers operating in the country’s parks. Then he decided to change course. So in 2013, he started Conserv Congo, a group of undercover investigators — including police officers, politicians, and students — who track wildlife criminals. (在该国的公园里,有武装团体、偷猎者和黑市贩子活动。然后他决定改变方向。因此,在2013年,他成立了Conserv Congo,这是一个由卧底调查员组成的团队——包括警官、政客和学生——他们追踪野生动物犯罪。)”可知,Cassinga看到有人偷猎野生动物后决定成立Conserv Congo以保护野生动物,故选A项。 3.推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Other people come as part of their job, but it’s not their duty to protect what’s ours. (其他人是作为他们工作的一部分来的,但保护我们的东西不是他们的责任。)”以及第五段“Cassinga places great value in winning over the hearts and minds of the police. officers he works with: “They need to understand the reason behind what we do.

Some people’s hand-talking, or gesturing (手势) matches their messages well. Other people like to make gestures that can be confusing. And still others don’t use their hands much at all. No matter which group you are in, it’s important to pay attention to your hand gestures while you are communicating. And also remember hand gestures can have cultural meanings. A few years ago, I was a speaker at a conference in Lisbon, Portugal. It was my first time in Portugal, and I became immediately fond of the special pastries (糕点) that Lisbon and Portugal are known for. One morning I went into a bakery and ordered two of the pastries. I did so by holding up two fingers, similar to the “victory” or “peace” gesture in the United States. The person behind the counter put three pastries in the box. I later learned that the gesture for two would raise thumb and index finger. Even though my thumb wasn’t showing, the person behind the counter thought I was signaling for three. I was lucky that I didn’t get into more trouble than an extra pastry. Many hand gestures are not universal. Before speaking in a country that you are not familiar with, do some research to find out which gestures might be misunderstood, not understood at all or rude. 1.Why did the author go to Lisbon, Portugal? A.To taste pastries. B.To take a holiday. C.To attend a meeting. D.To learn Portuguese culture. 2.What does the underlined word “universal” refer to in para.3? A.Normal. B.Independent. C.Common. D.Complex. 3.What can we learn from the author’s experience? A.One should be careful when ordering food in Portugal. B.Hand gestures may have different meanings in different cultures. C.The person behind the counter understood the author’s gesture. D.The person behind the counter cheated the author. 4.The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______. A.tell us that hand gestures are not the same worldwide B.explain the general use of gestures C.ask us to use correct hand gestures in Portugal D.share a funny story in Portugal 【答案】1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了手势在不同文化中的含义差异,并通过个人经历强调了了解并注意使用手势的重要性。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段“A few years ago, I was a speaker at a conference in Lisbon, Portugal.(几年前,我是葡萄牙里斯本一个会议的演讲者)”可知,作者是为了开会才去葡萄牙的里斯本的。故选C项。 2.词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Before speaking in a country that you are not familiar with, do some research to find out which gestures might be misunderstood, not understood at all or rude.(在一个你不熟悉的国家说话之前,做一些调查,看看哪些手势可能会被误解,根本不被理解或是粗鲁的)”可知,不同的国家里对手势的理解可能是不同的,许多手势并不是通用的。由此可知,划线词universal与common(通用的)意思接近。故选C项。 3.推理判断题。根据第二段中“I later learned that the gesture for two would raise thumb and index finger. Even though my thumb wasn’t showing, the person behind the counter thought I was signaling for three.(后来我知道,两个的手势是竖起拇指和食指。尽管我的拇指没有显示出来,柜台后面的人认为我是在发出要三个的信号)”及第三段中“Before speaking in a country that you are not familiar with, do some research to find out which gestures might be misunderstood, not understood at all or rude.(在一个你不熟悉的国家说话之前,做一些调查,看看哪些手势可能会被误解,根本不被理解或是粗鲁的)”可知,葡萄牙的手势的意义和作者的是不同的,手势在不同的文化中可能有不同的含义。故选B项。 4.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Many hand gestures are not universal.

She opened the case, got out her violin and started to play. She played seven pieces for about 52 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1, 200 people went through the station, most of whom were on their way to work. Four minutes later, a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to her. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule. The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurriedly, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. Al the parents, without exception, forced them to move on. In the 52 minutes the musician played, only 5 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 18 gave her money, but continued to walk their normal pace. She collected $34. When she finished playing and silently left, no one noticed it. No one clapped, nor was there any recognition. No one knew this, but the violinist was Ronya Bell, one of the musical geniuses in the world. She had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 4 million dollars. Two days before her playing in the subway, the tickets to her performance were sold out at a theatre in Chicago where the seats averaged $150. This is a real story. Ronya Bell’s playing at the subway station was organized as part of a social experiment. One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing? 1.Why did few people stop to listen to Ronya Bell playing? A.The performance was not good enough. B.They were not interested in music. C.It was too cold in the subway.

But the animated version just came to life from the pages of the book,” he said. Humor inspires Kinney to write. Whether it’s a movie script or a book, he likes to start with jokes. “When I think of a joke, it often comes with a picture in my mind,” he said. “Then I write. And in the end, I do the drawings.” Diary of a Wimpy Kid will be available on Disney+ beginning December 3. 1.What is Greg Heffley’s dream? A.To be rich and famous. B.To have a best-selling book.

The seeds were from a native Amazon palm tree known as “milpesos” in Colombia. Its fruits are rich in fat and Amazon tribes use them to make a vegetable oil. “She was keeping them so that the warmth of her mouth would open up the seeds and she could feed the pulp (果肉) to her younger sisters and brothers,” said Eliecer Muñoz, one of the four guards who made the very first contact with the children. “That’s how they stayed alive.” Survival experts have been trying to answer this question: How did the four children—the youngest just a baby—survive in the heart of the Amazon rainforest for so long? The stretch of the jungle they were found in is one of the most remote and difficult to reach in Colombia, where wild animals and poisonous insects are plentiful, rains can pour for over 15 hours a day and visibility is sometimes limited to 10 meters due to the thick vegetation. In more than a month without adults, they appear to have survived on wild fruits and three pounds of cassava flour, a high-protein traditional food of the Amazon diet, which they got from the wreckage (残骸) of the plane. When found, the children had bottles they used to collect water, either from streams or from the rain. While their survival remains a marvel, it was no doubt facilitated by traditional knowledge of the forest they acquired from a remarkably young age. Lesly, in particular, is praised for not only staying alive herself, but also making sure her younger sisters and brothers would survive following the loss of their mother in the plane crash. Nelly Kuiru, an activist, believes that her courage goes far beyond botanical skills: “Ancestral, traditional knowledge is more than that Lesly learnt to pick fruits, but there’s something much deeper there, a spiritual connection with the forest surrounding us.” 1.Eliecer Muñoz viewed Lesly’s keeping seeds in her mouth as____________. A.a survival skill B.a rescue technique C.an eating habit D.a unique culture 2.What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A.The exact cause of the plane crash. B.The detailed search and rescue operations. C.The food the children depended on to stay alive. D.The difficulty of surviving in the Amazon rainforest. 3.Which words can best describe Lesly? A.Talented and experienced. B.Intelligent and responsible. C.Honest and knowledgeable. D.Creative and open-minded. 4.What does Nelly Kuiru mainly want to show in the last paragraph? A.Botanical skills are more important than courage. B.Lesly learned to find food in the forest from her ancestors. C.Lesly is connected with her living environment spiritually. D.Picking fruits is the basic knowledge to survive in the forest. 【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了四个孩子在哥伦比亚的亚马逊森林中生存了40天的事情,其中,最大的孩子Lesly不仅保护自己,还确保她的弟弟妹妹们能够生存下去。 1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The seeds were from a native Amazon palm tree known as “milpesos” in Colombia. Its fruits are rich in fat and Amazon tribes use them to make a vegetable oil. “She was keeping them so that the warmth of her mouth would open up the seeds and she could feed the pulp(果肉)to her younger sisters and brothers,” said Eliecer Muñoz, one of the four guards who made the very first contact with the children. “That’s how they stayed alive.”(这些种子来自一种当地亚马逊棕榈树,在哥伦比亚被称为“milpesos”。它的果实富含脂肪,亚马逊部落用它们来制作植物油。“她一直养着它们,这样她嘴里的温暖就能把种子打开,把果肉喂给她的弟弟妹妹们,”Eliecer Muñoz说,他是最早接触这些孩子的四名警卫之一。“他们就是这样活下来的。”)”可知,Eliecer Muñoz认为Lesly嘴里含着种子的行为是一种生存技能。故选A。 2.主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Survival experts have been trying to answer this question: How did the four children—the youngest just a baby—survive in the heart of the Amazon rainforest for so long?(生存专家一直在试图回答这个问题:这四个孩子——最小的只是个婴儿——是如何在亚马逊雨林的中心生存这么久的?)”以及“In more than a month without adults, they appear to have survived on wild fruits and three pounds of cassava flour, a high-protein traditional food of the Amazon diet, which they got from the wreckage (残骸) of the plane. When found, the children had bottles they used to collect water, either from streams or from the rain.(在没有成年人的一个多月里,他们似乎靠野果和3磅木薯粉(一种亚马逊地区的高蛋白传统食物)存活了下来,木薯粉是它们从飞机残骸中获取的。当被发现时,孩子们拿着瓶子,他们用来从小溪或雨水中取水。)”可知,第三段主要讲述的是孩子们依靠什么食物生存下来的。故选C。 3.推理判断题。根据文章第二段““She was keeping them so that the warmth of her mouth would open up the seeds and she could feed the pulp(果肉)to her younger sisters and brothers,” said Eliecer Muñoz, one of the four guards who made the very first contact with the children. “That’s how they stayed alive.”(“她一直养着它们,这样她嘴里的温暖就能把种子打开,把果肉喂给她的弟弟妹妹们,”Eliecer Muñoz说,他是最早接触这些孩子的四名警卫之一。“他们就是这样活下来的。”)”可知,Lesly非常聪明;再根据第四段“Lesly, in particular, is praised for not only staying alive herself, but also making sure her younger sisters and brothers would survive following the loss of their mother in the plane crash.(尤其是Lesly,她不仅自己活了下来,而且在母亲在飞机失事中丧生后,她还确保了她的弟弟妹妹们都能活下来,这一点受到了称赞。)”可知,Lesly非常负责任,母亲丧生后,她不仅自己活了下来,还确保了弟弟妹妹活了下来。故选B。 4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Nelly Kuiru, an activist, believes that her courage goes far beyond botanical skills: “Ancestral, traditional knowledge is more than that Lesly learnt to pick fruits, but there’s something much deeper there, a spiritual connection with the forest surrounding us.”(活动人士Nelly Kuiru认为,她的勇气远远超出了植物学技能:“祖传的传统知识不仅仅是Lesly学会摘水果,还有更深层次的东西,那就是与我们周围的森林有一种精神联系。”)”可知,Nelly Kuiru认为Lesly的生存不仅体现在植物学技能上,更体现在她与周围环境的深层精神联系上。故选C。 (23-24高二上·湖北孝感·期中)A few years ago, I moved to a window office and sent an email letting everyone know. In the email, I jokingly invited everyone to come by for a “tour” of the new space. I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office, I saw a box on my desk. There was a note on it, saying, “Happy new office!” The person didn’t sign it. I was so happy with that. I didn’t feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me. In fact, I found myself thanking everyone in the office. It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day. The water was coming in. Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves. The owners were nowhere to be seen, so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose. When the couple who owned the chairs showed up. I couldn’t help myself. I went over, pointed to the waves, and said. “A couple of hours ago, your chairs were out there.” “Oh, thanks so much for pulling them in,” said the guy. “We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away.” “Don’t worry about it,” I said, as I walked away. Then these words came to my mind, “You have your reward.” Then I realized when I went over to the couple, I was looking for something. If they hadn’t shown anything after I told what I had done, it would have upset me. In our life, people who show their good deeds are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don’t celebrate their generosity. However, when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the other know, we do more than show kindness. We’re just giving to communicate an invaluable message, “You’re loved. You’re important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return.” 1.How did the author feel when she saw the box? A.Nervous and thankful. B.Bored and painful. C.Happy and grateful. D.Stressed and tired. 2.What can we infer about the author when she was on the beach? A.She told the couple what she did. B.She was lucky to meet with a kind couple. C.She got angry at keeping moving the chairs. D.She didn’t think the couple liked the chairs. 3.Which word can replace the underlined word “resent” in paragraph 6? A.Avoid. B.Hate. C.Love D.Persuade. 4.What does the author advise us to do through the text? A.Do what we can to help more people. B.Show love to someone important to you. C.Show kindness to those who dislike you. D.Give without expecting anything in return. 【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过作者的经历,告诉我们无私的给予比期待回报的善举更有价值, 因为它传达了一个无价的信息:“你被爱,你对某人很重要,这与你能回报什么无关。”这种给予的行为,不是为了得到别人的赞扬或者回报,而是出于对他人的关爱和尊重,更能体现真正的善良和慷慨。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was so happy with that. I didn’t feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me. In fact, I found myself thanking everyone in the office.(我很高兴。我不觉得我应该帮助任何人,也不觉得有人想从我这里得到什么。事实上,我发现自己要感谢办公室里的每一个人)”可知,当作者看到这个盒子时,她很开心和感激有人偷偷送给她。故选C项。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段中“I went over, pointed to the waves, and said. “A couple of hours ago, your chairs were out there.”(我走过去,指着海浪说。“几个小时前,你们的椅子还在外面。”)”可推知,当作者在海滩上时,她让那对夫妇知道了她的所作所为。故选A项。 3.词句猜测题。根据第六段中“If they hadn’t shown anything after I told what I had done, it would have upset me.(如果在我告诉他们我做了什么之后他们没有展示任何东西,这会让我很难过。)以及划线单词句中“In our life, people who show their good deeds are always looking for a reward(在我们的生活中,做好事的人总是在寻求回报)”可知,此处为他们憎恨那些不赞美他们慷慨的人。由此可知,划线单词resent的意思是“怨恨”,与B项Hate“讨厌”意思一致。故选B项 。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the other know, we do more than show kindness. We’re just giving to communicate an invaluable message, “You’re loved. You’re important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return.”(然而,当我们在不让别人知道的情况下体验到给予的快乐时,我们所做的不仅仅是表现出善意。我们只是在传递一个宝贵的信息:“你被爱着。你对某人很重要,这与你能给予什么回报无关。”)”可推知,作者通过文章建议我们不求回报地付出。故选D项 (23-24高二上·辽宁本溪·期中)Mundi, a 41-year-old female elephant, was orphaned (使……成为孤儿) at a young age, captured, and sold to the Mayaguez Zoo in Puerto Rico. The animals housed at the zoo were in such bad shape that they were being moved to various shelters under an order from the US Department of Justice. Mundi was the zoo’s major attraction. Her departure caused so much argument that armed guards came to see her off the island. She was so popular that people lined the streets to say goodbye. Mundi’s new home is certainly beautiful. After living in the zoo for 35 years with no other elephants, Mundi met Bo and Tarra, with whom she’s now sharing 850 acres. She was first housed in a separate place, but she and the other elephants could see each other, and they started getting along quickly. Soon, Mundi was no longer separated from the others. Tarra immediately acted as a big sister and mentor to Mundi, while Bo became her playmate. Now, they spend a lot of time together and the public can watch their interaction and learn about their behaviors on the shelter’s official website. Carol Buckley, the founder of Elephant Aid International, first imagined setting up the Georgia shelter after meeting Tarra in 1974, when the elephant was less than a year old. At the time, Tarra belonged to the owner of a tire store, who used her to advertise the place. Buckley ultimately became an advocate for elephants worldwide and designed the retirement home in Attapulgus to address their needs. Attapulgus was selected as the location for the shelter because its climate allows the elephants to be outdoors most of the time, almost year-round. 1.What can be inferred about the animals in Mayaguez Zoo? A.They lived a normal life. B.They were not welcome. C.They were not well treated. D.They were living happily. 2.Why were armed guards sent to see Mundi off? A.To prevent possible accidents. B.To protect the animals around. C.To say goodbye to Mundi. D.To show their respect for Mundi. 3.What was Tarra doing when Buckley first met her? A.Taking care of Mundi. B.Buying tires for her owner. C.Working as a store keeper. D.Advertising a tire store. 4.What makes Attapulgus a shelter for elephants? A.Its small space. B.Its weather pattern. C.Its special design. D.Its convenient transportation. 【答案】1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要通过大象Mundi故事的介绍,讲述了大象庇护所的建立。 1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The animals housed at the zoo were in such bad shape that they were being moved to various shelters under an order from the US Department of Justice.(动物园里的动物情况非常糟糕,根据美国司法部的命令,它们被转移到了各个收容所。)”可知,住在Mayaguez Zoo的动物们情况很糟糕,没有得到善待,故选C。 2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Mundi was the zoo’s major attraction. Her departure caused so much argument that armed guards came to see her off the island.(Mundi是动物园主要的景点。她的离开引起了如此多的争论,以至于岛上的武装警卫都来送别她。)”可知,武装警卫被派去送Mundi是为了防止意外事故的发生。故选A。 3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Carol Buckley, the founder of Elephant Aid International, first imagined setting up the Georgia shelter after meeting Tarra in 1974, when the elephant was less than a year old. At the time, Tarra belonged to the owner of a tire store, who used her to advertise the place.(国际大象援助组织的创始人Carol Buckley在1974年与Tarra会面后,第一次想到建立Georgia收容所,那时这头大象还不到一岁。当时,Tarra属于一家轮胎店的老板,他利用Tarra来给这个地方作宣传。)”可知,当Buckley第一次见Tarra时,她正在为一个轮胎店做宣传,故选D。 4.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Attapulgus was selected as the location for the shelter because its climate allows the elephants to be outdoors most of the time, almost year-round.(Attapulgus最终被选为庇护所的位置是因为它的气候使大象几乎全年都能在户外活动。)”可知,Attapulgus被选中作为大象的庇护所是因为它的天气模式,故选B。 (23-24高二上·广东佛山·期中)Jane Addams was born in 1860 in the small town of Cedarville, Illinois.

How are you going to be able to find your way around?” These are the most common questions I heard after I told people I was going to study abroad in China, a country that seemed so far away. Why risk dealing with that when Paris or London would be so much more accessible? But a part of studying abroad is about embracing (欣然接受) the inaccessible. I took Chinese in high school and fell in love with it. Ever since I started college, I was determined to study in China. Three years later, I made it happen. Of course, it was not easy. At the airport, people spoke English so I didn’t worry too much about finding my way around. And then I met other foreign students who would become my best friends for five straight months. But once leaving the airport and downtown areas, we were fully immersed (沉浸) in China. I lived in a more suburb-like (类似城郊的) area, more residential than the rest of Shanghai. People always looked at us curiously as we went about our days and few of them spoke English. It was awkward at first. Slowly, as we got more used to the language, people talked with us. Of course, they wanted to know the differences between living in America and living in China. My roommate studied abroad in Ireland last semester while I was in China. There is nothing wrong with going to Europe, but if you want to broaden your horizons, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Living in a place that is so different from what I am used to gives me valuable experiences I can’ t get any other way. My Chinese teacher was so amazing and patient with us, and my other Chinese friends helped me through the difficult part of feeling out of place in the unknown. In a strange way, not being able to express everything I want brings me closer to people. 1.How did people feel when knowing the author’ s decision? A.Excited. B.Puzzled. C.Appreciated. D.Disappointed. 2.When did the author fall in love with Chinese? A.When she started college. B.When she was in high school. C.Three years after she went to college.

B.She once had difficulty finding her way to college. C.She spent little time sightseeing in the rest of Shanghai. D.She was uncomfortable with people’ s curious stares at first. 4.What might the author agree with according to the last paragraph? A.Language won’t be a problem for making friends. B.It isn’t wise for her roommate to study in Ireland. C.Her English-speaking friends make China a place of comfort. D.Nations need to clear up misunderstandings between each other. 【答案】1.B 2.B 3.D 4.A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者去中国留学的经历,作者喜爱中文,在中国留学也给了作者许多宝贵的经历。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段““How can you be okay with living in a country so far away and so different?” “The language is so hard.

The song represents her inborn struggle with a unique blood condition and the impact it has on her life. At just 15 months old, Hallie was diagnosed (诊断) with Diamond-Blackfan anemia(DBA) , and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. Hallie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy. The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and Hallie was eager for one. But she knew thousands of other patients were, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation, Hallie’s Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there’s so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant.” she said. “So, so far we’ve tested over 8,000 people and we found over 300 matches.” After a 9-year wait, Hallie got her own match through her own foundation. The recovery was hard, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. “I would just kind of daydream. And sometimes I would listen to her music and I would daydream about the singer and meeting her and seeing her in person,” Hallie said in her social media. When the singer’s assistant heard about Hallie’s Heroes and knew about her wish, he was inspired to help the selfless little girl who turned her own health battle into a way to help others and decided to give Hallie the surprise of a lifetime. He offered two tickets to the singer’s concert in Houston. When Hallie received a call offering her the tickets, she was shocked and enthusiastically accepted and attended the concert with her mother in the front row. Now Hallie has recovered. She no longer has “bad blood”. Thanks to her foundation, hundreds of others can say the same. 1.Why did the author mention the main idea of a song? A.To introduce the heroine of the text. B.To show the author’s love for the song. C.To explain how harmful the bad blood was. D.To highlight the impact of the song on the author. 2.What do we know about Hallie’s life before the operation? A.She felt sorrow for herself. B.She often went to the concert. C.She sought for a bone marrow match. D.She prepared for her own foundation. 3.What was Hallie’s initial purpose of setting up Hallie’s Heroes? A.To save herself B.To be known by others. C.To see her favorite singer. D.To help patients with DBA, 4.Which of the following can best describe Hallie? A.Inactive but lucky. B.Selfish but capable, C.Helpful and wealthy.

Her gardens were full of herbs and other eatable plants; the home itself was built of locally made, often recycled materials. Shortly after her death, Mexico’s Culture Ministry called Quinta Diane, as she named her home, “an example of sustainability and protection of nature and biodiversity”. Ms. Kennedy bought the land in 1980 and it expanded in the following years. Born in Loughton, United Kingdom in 1923, Diana Kennedy had no formal cooking training and tried a variety of jobs. She went to Mexico in 1957 to marry Paul P. Kennedy and she soon began working on her first book, The Cuisines of Mexico, which was published in 1972. The plural (复数形式) was intentional: no English-speaking writer before her was determined to seek out and celebrate the wide range of Mexican food and cooking. She had seen Mexico modernize and develop, and she drew attention to the culinary disadvantages the increasing use of convenient but poor corn flour instead of earthy, sweet fresh corn flour, the tendency to rush rather than enjoy preparing food; the disappearing of Mexico’s forests. She was more a cooking anthropologist (人类学家) than an inventor. She didn’t create recipes; she gathered them, testing them dozens of times until the taste was as she remembered when she first tried them. She had great confidence in her approach, taking 14 years to research her final book, Oaxaca al Gusto: An Infinite Gastronomy, which was devoted to the country’s deliciously complex cuisine. It won a James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year. She was a strong supporter of traditional dishes. She understood that Mexican cuisine often has a sort of simplicity, using few ingredients at the peak of their ripeness, and prepared to let every flavor shine. She was deeply doubtful about cooking innovation and angry about the devaluing of what she considered as the world’s great cuisine. 1.What does Quinta Diana symbolize? A.The long history of Mexican cuisine. B.The idea of environmental protection. C.The special design of Mexican gardens. D.The unique culture of building materials. 2.What can we learn about Diana Kennedy? A.She married Paul P. Kennedy in Loughton in 1957. B.She was a well-trained cook before becoming a writer. C.She bought Quinta Diara soon after she moved to Mexico. D.She introduced a variety of Mexican food in her first book. 3.Which statement would Diana Kennedy agree with? A.Food should be prepared for quite a long time. B.Corn flour is not the best choice for Mexican cuisine. C.Food shouldn’t be made at the cost of damaging its nature. D.Complex ingredients should be added to Mexican cuisine. 4.Which of the following words can best describe Diana Kennedy? A.Determined and responsible. B.Cooperative and generous. C.Confident and sensitive. D.Optimistic and ambitious. 【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲的是Diana Kennedy在墨西哥传统饮食方面的坚持和努力。 1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Shortly after her death, Mexico’s Culture Ministry called Quinta Diane, as she named her home, “an example of sustainability and protection of nature and biodiversity”.(在她去世后不久,墨西哥文化部称她方面的家为“可持续发展和保护自然和生物多样性的典范”。)”可知戴安娜的家Quinta Diane之所以被称为“可持续发展和保护自然和生物多样性的典范”,是因为其与环境保护有关,所以Quinta Diane象征着环境保护的理念。故选B项。 2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Ms. Kennedy bought the land in 1980 and it expanded in the following years. Born in Loughton, United Kingdom in 1923, Diana Kennedy had no formal cooking training and tried a variety of jobs.( Ms. Kennedy于1980年买下了这块地,并在接下来的几年里进行了扩建。黛安娜·肯尼迪于1923年出生于英国劳顿,她没有接受过正式的烹饪训练,并尝试过各种各样的工作。)”可知黛安娜•肯尼迪于1980年买下了这块地而不是在她搬到墨西哥之后不久,所以C项不对;黛安娜•肯尼迪没有接受过正式的烹饪训练,所以B项不对;根据文章第三段“She went to Mexico in 1957 to marry Paul P. Kennedy(1957年,她前往墨西哥与Paul P. Kennedy结婚)”可知黛安娜与Paul P. Kennedy1957年在墨西哥结婚而不是在英国Loughton,所以A项不对;根据文章第三段“she soon began working on her first book, The Cuisines of Mexico, which was published in 1972. The plural (复数形式) was intentional: no English-speaking writer before her was determined to seek out and celebrate the wide range of Mexican food and cooking.(她很快开始写她的第一本书《墨西哥美食》,这本书于1972年出版。使用复数是有意为之:在她之前,没有一个说英语的作家下定决心寻找和庆祝种类繁多的墨西哥食物和烹饪。)”可知Diana Kennedy在她的第一本书里面介绍了各种各样的墨西哥食物。故选D项。 3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“She had seen Mexico modernize and develop, and she drew attention to the culinary disadvantages the increasing use of convenient but poor corn flour instead of earthy, sweet fresh corn flour, the tendency to rush rather than enjoy preparing food;(她目睹了墨西哥的现代化和发展,她提醒人们注意烹饪方面的缺点:越来越多地使用方便但劣质的玉米粉,而不是朴实的新鲜甜玉米粉,人们倾向于匆忙而不是享受做饭)”可知Diana Kennedy认为不应该以破坏食物的本质为代价来制造食物。故选C项。 4.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“no English-speaking writer before her was determined to seek out and celebrate the wide range of Mexican food and cooking.(在她之前,没有一个说英语的作家下定决心寻找和庆祝各种各样的墨西哥食物和烹饪。)”以及最后一段“She didn’t create recipes; she gathered them, testing them dozens of times until the taste was as she remembered when she first tried them. She had great confidence in her approach, taking 14 years to research her final book,(她没有创造食谱;她把它们收集起来,试了几十次,直到它的味道和她记得的第一次吃的时候一样。她对自己的方法充满信心,花了14年时间研究她的最后一本书《瓦哈卡的美味:无限的美食》(Oaxaca al Gusto: An Infinite gaonomy),)”可知作为一位作家Diana Kennedy决心寻找和赞美墨西哥食物和烹饪的多样性,而且对食物进行多次尝试,并且花了14年时间研究她的最后一本书,由此可以推断她很坚定且践行自己说的话,体现了她的负责任。故选A项。 (23-24高二上·山东德州·期中)In 2019, Wang Jibing, a food delivery rider, had an unpleasant experience due to the wrong address left by a customer.

D.A popular collection of poems online. 【答案】1.B 2.A 3.A 4.C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了外卖员王计兵在送外卖过程中的经历与感受,并且他基于这些真情实感开始写诗,作为诗人,他和他的作品在网络上走红的故事。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2019, Wang Jibing, a food delivery rider, had an unpleasant experience due to the wrong address left by a customer. Wang searched three buildings and climbed 18 floors before he finally managed to deliver the food to the customer, who rudely scolded Wang for arriving late. Wang was sad and frustrated. As a husband and father of three children, who shouldered the majority of the financial responsibility in his family, he had to bear all silently. On his way home that day, Wang wrote a poem, Man in a Hurry, expressing his feelings.(2019年,送餐骑手王计兵因一位顾客留下的地址错误而经历了一次不愉快的经历。王找了三栋楼,爬了18层楼,终于把食物送到了顾客那里,顾客粗鲁地斥责王迟到了。王既伤心又沮丧。作为一个丈夫和三个孩子的父亲,他承担了家里大部分的经济责任,他不得不默默地承担这一切。在回家的路上,王写了一首诗《匆匆忙忙的人》,表达了他的心情。)”可知,王通过写诗来发泄他的感情。故选B项。 2.词句猜测题。划线短语后文“and was viewed for over 20 million times.(浏览量超过2000万次)”说明,这个视频浏览次数特别多,从而推知划线词句“It quickly went viral(它迅速went viral)”其中划线短语应为“疯传,走红”的意思,与A项“成为热门,大受欢迎”同义。故选A项。 3.推理判断题。根据第三段“Wang’s poems, simple yet real, are seen as a tool to process his emotions, especially the personal experiences he has during his work. His heart is healed by writing the poems, and he has shared them with his friends. In 2022, one of his friends posted Man in a Hurry online. It quickly went viral and was viewed for over 20 million times. The same year, Wang published a collection of more than 180 poems, under the same title. So far, Wang has written about 4,000 poems. This April, Wang published his second poetry collection, titled I Love This World Clumsily, featuring about 130 poems he has written since July 2022.(王的诗歌简单而真实,被视为处理情感的工具,尤其是他在工作中的个人经历。他的心通过写诗得到了治愈,并与朋友们分享了这些诗。2022年,他的一个朋友在网上发布了《匆匆忙忙的人》。它迅速走红,浏览量超过2000万次。同年,王出版了一本180多首同名诗集。到目前为止,王已经写了大约4000首诗。今年4月,王出版了他的第二本诗集《我笨拙地爱着这个世界》,收录了他自2022年7月以来创作的约130首诗歌。)”可知,根据第3段可推出,他才华横溢,慷慨大方。故选A项。 4.主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中“Wang was sad and frustrated. As a husband and father of three children, who shouldered the majority of the financial responsibility in his family, he had to bear all silently. On his way home that day, Wang wrote a poem, Man in a Hurry, expressing his feelings.(王既伤心又沮丧。作为一个丈夫和三个孩子的父亲,他承担了家里大部分的经济责任,他不得不默默地承担这一切。在回家的路上,王写了一首诗《匆匆忙忙的人》,表达了他的心情。)”以及第三段中“His heart is healed by writing the poems, and he has shared them with his friends. In 2022, one of his friends posted Man in a Hurry online. It quickly went viral and was viewed for over 20 million times. The same year, Wang published a collection of more than 180 poems, under the same title. So far, Wang has written about 4,000 poems. This April, Wang published his second poetry collection, titled I Love This World Clumsily, featuring about 130 poems he has written since July 2022.(他的心通过写诗得到了治愈,并与朋友们分享了这些诗。2022年,他的一个朋友在网上发布了《匆匆忙忙的人》。它迅速走红,浏览量超过2000万次。同年,王出版了一本180多首同名诗集。到目前为止,王已经写了大约4000首诗。今年4月,王出版了他的第二本诗集《我笨拙地爱着这个世界》,收录了他自2022年7月以来创作的约130首诗歌。)”可知,本文主要是写了外卖骑手通过写诗来抒发自己在工作中的情感,他的诗发布到看网上,并且在网络上一炮而红的故事。C项“带来一场诗歌盛宴的男人”符合题意,为最佳标题。故选C项。 (23-24高二上·湖北黄冈·期中)On March 25,2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasn’t going to make it. Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live. “I saw him gasp, but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.” Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him. “I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.” Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him. “We were trying to persuade him to stay,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.” Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger. The couple’s lost boy had made it. “We’re the luckiest people in the world,” David told Today. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. “Emily burst into tears,” Kate said. “She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.” 1.Why was the newborn not going to make it? A.Because he had just moments to live. B.Because his heartbeat was nearly gone. C.Because he was 14 weeks premature. D.Because he weighed just over 2 pounds. 2.What does Kate’s words mean in paragraph 4? A.The doctors thought it no use saving the boy. B.The doctor had no idea how to save the boy. C.Kate was prepared to resign her position. D.Kate cherished her last minutes with the boy. 3.What did the first-time parents did to save the boy? A.To have eye contact. B.To touch him skin to skin. C.To tell him stories. D.To grasp his hands tightly. 4.Which is the best title of the article? A.Wonders of love B.Premature twins C.Life-giving touch D.Precious moments 【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 4.C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一对夫妻用爱创造了奇迹,唤回了他们濒临死亡的早产儿子的生命。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live. (他们的双胞胎——一女一男——早产14周,出生时间间隔两分钟,每个体重刚刚超过两磅。医生曾试图挽救这个男孩20分钟,但没有看到任何好转。他的心跳几乎停止了,呼吸也停止了。这个婴儿只有几分钟可活了)”可知,孩子因为早产很虚弱导致这个新生儿没能挺过来。故选C项。 2.细节理解题。根据第四段““I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.” (“我想见见他,让他了解我们,”凯特告诉《今日》。“我们已经接受了即将失去他的事实,我们只是想充分利用这最后的宝贵时刻。”)”可知,这对父母已经打算接受儿子将会死亡的现实,好好抓住这珍贵的最后一刻。故选D项。 3.细节理解题。根据第五段“The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him. (这对首次为人父母的夫妇希望他们的儿子尽可能温暖,并希望这种肌肤接触能改善他的病情。他们也和他谈话。)”以及第六段““We were trying to persuade him to stay,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.” (“我们试图说服他留下,”凯特告诉《每日邮报》。“我们解释了他的名字,他有一个双胞胎,他必须照顾,我们多么努力地想要他。”)”可知,这对父母与孩子进行皮肤接触来让孩子保持体温,然后一直跟他讲话。故选B项。 4.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live. (他们的双胞胎——一女一男——早产14周,出生时间间隔两分钟,每个体重刚刚超过两磅。医生曾试图挽救这个男孩20分钟,但没有看到任何好转。他的心跳几乎停止了,呼吸也停止了。这个婴儿只有几分钟可活了)。”以及倒数第二段“The couple’s lost boy had made it. (这对夫妇将要失去的儿子成功了。)”以及纵观全文可知是这对夫妻永不放弃的精神和爱的抚触创造了奇迹,挽救了孩子的生命,所以C项“Life-giving touch (赋予生命的触摸)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 (23-24高二上·河北保定·期中)Sanyé Mylo’s eyes twinkle with excitement when he stands in the sound booth of The Record Co. in Boston, eager to bring his creation to life. With the press of a button, his latest rap track fills the room. “I didn’t know spaces like this existed,” says Mylo, who grew up in the low-income neighborhood of Dorchester. He is one of the youngest musicians who, thanks to The Record Co. , has turned his music into a full-time occupation. Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it. McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technology student at Berklee College of Music, he was frustrated by the high costs of renting time in production studios. On average, a recording studio in Boston costs more than $100 per hour to rent. He saw a recording studio not as a private office for a man of means but as a community center available to all. So he took out loans, collected donations and opened a studio in a tiny basement in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Slowly but steadily, McArthur expanded it and eventually rented a new property to include spaces for practice and production. Today, The Record Co., with a full-time staff of more than 20 people, is a state-of-the art, 12,000-foot facility that can be rented for as little as $10 per hour. Each month, it receives about 1,000 reservations, and around 3,500 musicians pass through its doors. At The Record Co., the principle is clear: Music should be affordable for everyone, and so should the space for creating it. The building has been shaped not only with an ear to acoustics(音响效果)but also with an eye to ensure it is as welcoming to a musician in a wheelchair as to one who walks in with a guitar over the shoulder. 1.Why did McArthur found The Record Co.? A.To make musicians well-known. B.To make a fortune through music. C.To persuade people to pursue music. D.To make music production affordable. 2.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A.Provide some advice for musicians. B.Add some background information. C.Summarize the previous paragraphs. D.Launch an appeal for musical creation. 3.What does the underlined word “means” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Wealth. B.Method. C.Vision. D.Determination 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Bring Boston’s music to the world B.Turn music into a full-time occupation C.A recording studio has advanced facilities D.Music belongs to everyone at The Record Co. 【答案】1.D 2.B 3.A 4.D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,文章讲述了McArthur创建所有人都负担得起的录音室TheRecord Co.的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段“Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it.(The Record Co.由马特·麦克阿瑟(Matt McArthur)于2010年创立,旨在让音乐家更实惠地进入创意工作区,并将音乐世界介绍给那些可能从未考虑过自己在其中的地位的人。)”可知,McArthur创建The Record Co.是为了给音乐家提供更实惠的创作场所。故选D项。 2.推理判断题。通读第三段“McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technology student at Berklee College of Music, he was frustrated by the high costs of renting time in production studios. On average, a recording studio in Boston costs more than $100 per hour to rent.(麦克阿瑟亲身体会到了这一挑战。作为伯克利音乐学院音乐技术专业的学生,他对在制作工作室租用时间的高昂成本感到沮丧。波士顿的录音棚平均每小时租金超过100美元。)”可知,该段介绍了一些背景信息:McArthur创建录音室面临着挑战。故选B项。 3.词句猜测题。根据第四段“He saw a recording studio not as a private office for a man of means but as a community center available to all. (他认为录音室不是有 人的私人办公室,而是所有人都可以使用的社区中心。)”可知,画线词means应该意为“财富”,与A项wealth意义一致。故选A项。 4.主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it.(The Record Co.由马特·麦克阿瑟(Matt McArthur)于2010年创立,旨在让音乐家更实惠地进入创意工作区,并将音乐世界介绍给那些可能从未考虑过自己在其中的地位的人。)”以及上下文可知,本文讲述了McArthur创建所有人都负担得起的录音室The Record Co.的故事。故D项Music belongs to everyone at The Record Co.(音乐属于唱片公司的每一个人。)适合作为本文标题。故选D项。 (23-24高二上·浙江宁波·期中)In late 2020, Detroit resident Oleita posted a video on Facebook that explained how to make sleeping bags from used potato chips and other snack bags. She could help the city’s homeless people find warmth during cold winters while also giving a second life to chip bags, which aren’t easily recyclable and usually end up in the trash. Almost immediately after Oleita posted that first call for bags, people took notice. Local businesses offered to serve as collection points, and volunteers raised their hands to get involved. “We’re all humans who share this planet together, and it’s my duty to make sure the person next to me has access to basic necessities,” says Oleita. “We have a major climate issue happening, and the people who are most influenced are those who are economically poor.” For most of the Chip Bag Project’s existence, Oleita made sleeping bags all by herself. Now, she has some help. The group operates with a core team of 10 volunteers who do everything from making and delivering the bags to sourcing financial sponsors and doing community outreach. The road to success has its ups and downs. For a while, the Chip Bag Project operated out of a small space donated by a local business, and the team recently had to leave. Yet they’re not giving up. Instead, the team does everything — including production, back-end business tasks and equipment and supply storage. Oleita has served as a community organizer for the past decade, and she has experienced homelessness herself. She knew that this project needed to do more than just hand out sleeping bags. “This isn’t just a trash issue; it’s also a climate issue. And it’s not just a climate issue, but a human issue too. I’m always thinking of the world as interconnected — energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transferred.” 1.What made Oleita want to help homeless people? A.Cold winter. B.Polluted environment. C.Personal experience. D.Social responsibility. 2.What can we know about the project? A.It consists of ten people. B.It is facing low efficiency. C.It managed to run well. D.It is just about a human issue. 3.Which of the following best describes Oleita? A.Modest. B.Kind-hearted. C.Ambitious. D.Self-motivated. 4.What is the text mainly about? A.A touching story. B.Turning trash into treasure. C.An accidental post. D.Helping people in need. 【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Oleita变废为宝,利用用过的旧零食袋制作睡袋,帮助无家可归的人在寒冷的冬天找到温暖的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第三段中Oleita所说“We’re all humans who share this planet together, and it’s my duty to make sure the person next to me has access to basic necessities. (我们都是共同生活在这个星球上的人类,我有责任确保我身边的人能够获得基本的必需品。)”可知,是社会责任让Oleita想要帮助无家可归的人。故选D项。 2.推理判断题。根据第二段“Almost immediately after Oleita posted that first call for bags, people took notice. Local businesses offered to serve as collection points, and volunteers raised their hands to get involved. (在Oleita发布了第一个征集包的帖子后,人们几乎立即注意到了。当地企业主动提出充当收集点,志愿者也举手表示愿意参与其中。)”以及第四段中“Instead, the team does everything — including production, back-end business tasks and equipment and supply storage. (相反,团队包揽一切——包括生产、后端业务任务、设备和供应存储。)”可知,这个项目运行得很好。故选C项。 3.推理判断题题。根据第一段中“She could help the city’s homeless people find warmth during cold winters while also giving a second life to chip bags, which aren’t easily recyclable and usually end up in the trash. (她可以帮助这个城市无家可归的人在寒冷的冬天找到温暖,同时也给薯片袋第二次生命,这些薯片袋不容易回收,通常会被扔进垃圾桶。)”可知,Oleita是个善良的人,热心帮助穷人并且积极保护环境。故选B项。 4.主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段“In late 2020, Detroit resident Oleita posted a video on Facebook that explained how to make sleeping bags from used potato chips and other snack bags. She could help the city’s homeless people find warmth during cold winters while also giving a second life to chip bags, which aren’t easily recyclable and usually end up in the trash. (2020年底,底特律居民Oleita在脸书上发布了一段视频,解释了如何用用过的薯片和其他零食袋制作睡袋。她可以帮助这个城市无家可归的人在寒冷的冬天找到温暖,同时也给薯片袋第二次生命,这些薯片袋不容易回收,通常会被扔进垃圾桶。)”可知,本文主要讲述了Oleita变废为宝,利用用过的旧零食袋制作睡袋,帮助无家可归的人在寒冷的冬天找到温暖的故事。故选B项。 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$
