In space, where astronauts face extreme environmental and physical changes, the need for safe, nutritious and energy- laden food is particularly vital to overall health. Space food must provide enough energy to fuel astronauts on their demanding missions, according to NASA.In microgravity (low gravity state that makes astronauts appear to be weightless) environments, proper nutrition can fight against the resulting degradation of bones and muscles. For example, vitamins D, K and C aid in synthesizing (合成) calcium into bone. Meanwhile, dietary supplements like iron, omega-3 fatty acids and B12 can make up for dietary insufficiency. After decades of nutritional studies and food technology advancements, NASA has moved focus away from supplements and dietary formulas  (配方) toward providing as many nutrients from fruits and vegetables as possible. However, it can be difficult to rely heavily on fruits and vegetables as a space food source because they don’t contain many calories. This poses an issue for spaceflight, where cargo (货物) room is precious. NASA can’t merely consider health when designing space food, though. The nutritional value of a meal only goes so far if it doesn’t appeal to astronauts. Rather, Grace Douglas, the lead scientist for NASA’s Advanced Food Technology research group, and her colleagues aim to offer astronauts several meal. options to avoid menu fatigue (疲劳). Such variety also provides psychological health benefits.“ Food becomes more important with mission duration because it’s one of the only familiar things that they have, ” Douglas says. As space organizations look ahead to. long- duration missions, it will be key to craft a sustainable food source that doesn’t require resupply missions. To achieve this, NASA scientists are studying the best ways to grow crops in microgravity. On the International Space Station, astronaut s have successfully grow n a variety of leafy greens and flowers in the Vegetable Production System, known as Veggie. Eating a fresh leafy green could help astronauts feel connected with the distant green planet they call home. 4.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.The importance of space food design. B.The challenges for astronauts in space. C.The general requirements for space food. D.The impact of microgravity on astronauts. 5.How do Douglas’s team enhance astronauts’ dining experience? A.They make food look appealing. B.They rearrange the menu schedule. C.They provide multiple food choices. D.They conduct taste tests on astronauts. 6.What can astronauts expect from Veggie? A.A supplement to the oxygen supply. B.Supply of psychological comfort C.Enhancement of the nutritional quality. D.An improvement in communication with Earth. 7.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.How do astronauts eat in space? B.What makes space food so special? C.What space food will we have in the future? D.How do scientists build the best diet for astronauts? Passage 3 (2024-2025学年高二上·河南·阶段练习) “Cheese” is a word that brings joy to Pierre Brisson, the founder of France’s first cheese museum, who is passionate about the subject — not just eating it but passing on the traditional skills of cheese-making to future generations. “It’s not an easy job but a wonderful one and there is a real risk that it could disappear,” he said. “Although people like eating it and the demand for cheese is still high, fewer youngsters want to make a career out of it.” Visitors to the museum can watch a demonstration of how various cheeses are made, take part in a tasting and learn the history of cheese and regional varieties through interactive shows. Brisson, 38, said his passion for cheese developed as a boy. “My father would take me to the cheese store every Sunday.” After studying at the National Dairy Industries School, Brisson set up Paroles de Fromagers to run courses in cheese-making for the public and training for professionals. He chose to locate the museum in Paris to attract the French and tourists and to avoid regional competition. Brisson has worked with half a dozen cheese-makers to help visitors understand the art of producing different varieties from raw milk, as well as the role of bacteria, the animals and the land on which they eat. Agathe de Saint-Exupéry will be one of the experts explaining the process, including how makers “read” the milk and how small details can affect the final product. “It’s a very individual process that depends on so many things, even the mood of the animals whose milk is being used. You can make the same good cheese every day, and every day it will taste different. It just cannot be done industrially,” she said. Brisson said the museum would be a “little window” on country life in the heart of the capital. “My dream is that in 20 years’ time, someone will say they decide to become a cheese-maker after visiting the museum.” 8.What can we know about cheese-making according to the text? A.It is easy to master. B.It fails to attract the young. C.It has its roots in France. D.It involves a standard process. 9.What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4? A.To describe Brisson’s working experiences. B.To show the influence of the museum. C.To add some background information. D.To introduce a new topic of discussion. 10.Why can’t cheese be mass-produced? A.It doesn’t sell well. B.Its raw material is rare. C.It is hard to store. D.Its taste varies considerably. 11.What is a suitable title for the text? A.The Museum of Cheese B.The Story of a Cheese-Maker C.The Art of Cheese-Making D.The Future of Cheese-Making Passage 4 (2024-2025学年高二上·广东深圳·阶段练习) Struggling to give up meat and move to a vegetarian diet? Your genes could be to blame, scientists suspect. A study suggests that genetics plays a role in whether people can stick to a strict vegetarian diet. While deciding to quit meat may be a personal lifestyle choice, based on religious and moral considerations, genetics can make it harder or easier for some people. “Are all humans capable of existing long term on a strict vegetarian diet? This is a question that has not been seriously studied.” said study author Dr Nabeel Yaseen. “There is something that people may be missing.” “One area where plant products differ from meat is complex lipids (fats). There may be lipid components present in meat that some people need. And maybe people whose genetics favour vegetarianism are able to synthesise (合成) these components.” Experts compared UK. Biobank genetic data from 5,324 strict vegetarians who avoided fish, poultry and red meat, to 329, 455 people who were omnivorous (杂食的) They found three genes that were significantly associated with vegetarianism and another 31 genes that are potentially associated. Several of these genes, including two of the top three, were involved in lipid (fat) metabolism (新陈代谢) and brain function. It has led experts to believe that people who find a vegetarian diet easy to follow may be able to synthesise these important fats from elsewhere. According to the Vegetarian Society, 4.5 percent of the British population follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. Scientists say that often the driving force behind why people choose certain foods is not just taste but how well the body metabolises products. Dr Yaseen believes there may be something in meat that most people struggle to do without. “Perhaps you have a certain component — maybe a lipid component-that makes you need and long for it.” he added. The experts believe the findings open the door to creating better meat substitutes as well as tailoring dietary recommendations to personal genetics. 12.Why does the author mention the question raised by Dr Yaseen in Paragraph 2? A.To highlight its significance. B.To draw wide attention. C.To uncover something overlooked. D.To lead in the topic. 13.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The process involved. B.The approach adopted. C.The data gathered. D.The conclusion drawn. 14.What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to in Paragraph 5? A.The driving force. B.A certain food. C.A lipid component. D.Meat. 15.What is the best title for the text? A.What Determines Your Passion for Food B.Can’t Resist Meat? Blame Your Genes C.Vegetarian or Vegan? Ask Your Genes D.What Plays A Role in A Vegetarian Diet Passage 5 (2024-2025高二上·辽宁·阶段练习) Country Music Festivals hosts several concerts in different places each year; it is committed to providing a wonderful music festival environment.

Molly Lewis did just that by becoming a professional whistler, joining a very small and unique group. Shane O’Neill writes in the Washington Post, “If you’re a comedian, at some point you’ve gotten the frightening ‘Tell me a joke!’ from a stranger. If you think that’s bad, try being a professional whistler. ‘It happens all the time,’ said Molly Lewis with a smile. ‘Sometimes I’ll oblige.’” Lewis released her first album, On the Lips, in February, hoping to raise the profile (形象) of whistling. “People often don’t have a reference for whistle music apart from a jingle or a riff in a bad pop song,” Lewis said. “I think it’s a beautiful instrument.” People are starting to notice. Her whistled cover of Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For? appeared in the Barbie movie, both in a scene and during the credits. Lewis brings depth and nuance (细微差别) to a form that is usually cheerful or absent-minded. She acknowledges the novelty of what she does but remains inspired by artists like Marty & Elayne, a husband-and-wife lounge duo with a cult following in Los Angeles. “They played for 37 years, five nights a week, and it was very special and beautiful,” Lewis said. Lewis learned to whistle at four but didn’t take her talent seriously until she saw Pucker Up, a 2005 documentary about competitive whistling. She attended the International Whistlers Convention in 2012 and has performed in music clubs ever since. Starting in 2017, Lewis performed a series of shows called Café Molly at Zebulon, attracting notable figures like John C. Reilly, Karen O, and Mac DeMarco.

D.They are stressed. 22.How did Pucker Up affect Lewis? A.It recognized her talent as a whistler. B.It earned her international reputation. C.It gave her easy access to music clubs. D.It deepened her devotion to whistling. Passage 7 (2024-2025学年高二上·山西吕梁·阶段练习) When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss. Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. “It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).” The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin — to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs. With millions of songs available, one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题). “It’s a very cool result,” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.” 23.Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph? A.To reach a conclusion. B.To lead in the topic. C.To offer a suggestion. D.To provide the background. 24.What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music? A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Unclear. D.Unconcerned. 25.What did the participants do in the new study? A.They reported their feelings of pain. B.They interviewed many musicians. C.They made various kinds of teacups. D.They picked out the music they don't like. 26.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music? B.How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly? C.The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music D.Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain Passage 8 (2023-2024学年高二下·山东济南·期末) Matthew Weihmuller, despite being blind from birth, earned his master’s degree in music at Florida State University. He also tours with a band that shows elements of jazz and rock. Additionally, he is a composer, using specialized music technology for the blind. He frequently engages as a speaker, having been a guest lecturer at John Hopkins University. While explaining his shift from performance to teaching, Weihmuller said, “All great performers teach, and it’s the only way to pass along this craft, especially about jazz music. I found that teaching became more my calling than performing. I wanted to make a difference, and that was really important to me.” Innovatively, Weihmuller uses a unique teaching method to enhance communication among jazz students. When practising a play, he turns off the lights, removes the visualelements and forces students to rely more on their other senses. They have to feel their instrument with their fingers and hands. Weihmuller’s own blindness has fueled his mastery of other senses, particularly crucial in playing jazz. “You have to turn your disadvantage into an advantage. Where there is a will, there is a way.” Weihmuller said. Reflecting on his early struggles with sheet music, Weihmuller recalled the challenge of obtaining braille (盲文) music, which was not as accessible then as it is today. To overcome this obstacle, he had to create his own braille music, a process that continued through his college years. Weihmuller has a strong desire to influence his students with value of perseverance and musical progression. His ultimate goal is to inspire others facing challenges and disabilities. He added, “I do hope that when they leave my classroom, they’re not only better musicians but also better people.” 27.What can we learn about Weihmuller from Paragraph 1? A.He has multiple roles. B.He owns a music band. C.He complains of his disability. D.He gives talks worldwide. 28.What drives Weihmuller to turn to music teaching? A.The duty to help performers. B.The strong desire to succeed. C.The will to pass down music. D.The aim to gain independence. 29.Why did Weihmuller turn off lights in his music class? A.To reduce students’ anxiety. B.To train physical abilities. C.To teach students better. D.To test learning results. 30.Which of the following can best describe Weihmuller? A.Outgoing and caring. B.Courageous and honest. C.Creative and determined. D.Knowledgeable and patient. Passage 9 (2023-2024学年高二上·江苏苏州·阶段练习) Up a rocky cliff face, through a narrow opening, and at the end of a snaking passage lies a painting that archaeologists say is the world’s oldest known example of storytelling in art history. Located inside the limestone cave of South Sulawesi, the picture portrays three humanlike figures interacting with a wild pig. The painting, made with a red pigment (颜料), is at least 51,200 years old, according to a study published Wednesday in the scientific journal Nature. It’s the latest prehistoric art to be found in the area’s fascinating limestone caves. Three rough-skinned pigs painted on a cave wall that some of the same researchers reported on in 2021 was previously the world`s oldest depiction of an animal — at 45,500 years old. While younger than some abstract art found in South Africa, it’s the oldest of a narrative (叙事性的) scene, the authors of the study said. “We, as humans, define ourselves as a species that tells stories, and these are the oldest evidence of us doing that,” said study author Maxime Aubert, a professor at Griffith University’s Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research in Australia. “The painter or painters are conveying more information about images than just individual static images. They are telling us how to look at them in association,” he said, “These narrative artworks seem to have been very important to these early people in Sulawesi.” The cave art discoveries have challenged a longstanding belief that artistic expression — and the cognitive leap that fired up the human imagination — began in Europe. In doing so, the cave paintings in Indonesia are shedding new light on the early story of humanity. “My sense is that storytelling has a great antiquity and while we have long lost the oral stories, we have the visual counterparts of these stories to prove it,” said Nowell, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada, who wasn’t involved in the research. “It’s also unclear why so much cave art has been found in this region of Indonesia,” Aubert said, but the finds implied that humans had a rich culture of storytelling, using scenic representation to tell visual stories about human-animal relationships. 31.What do we know about the newly discovered painting? A.It depicts three rough-skinned pigs. B.It is the world’s first abstract artwork. C.It defines human beings as story tellers. D.It is an artwork discovered in Indonesia. 32.What is the importance of narrative artworks in Sulawesi? A.Art serves as a tool for cooking and hunting. B.They connect images, giving more information. C.They represent individual thoughts at that time. D.Individual static images hold no value in history. 33.How does this discovery challenge previous beliefs about artistic expression? A.It suggests that cave art originated in Africa long ago. B.It shows that prehistoric humans had very high artistic abilities. C.It proves that some ancient art was narrative not just static images. D.It shifts the focus from Europe as the only origin of artistic expression. 34.What does the underlined word “antiquity” mean in paragraph 8? A.An old age. B.Modern era. C.Timeless beauty. D.Permanent damage. Passage 10 (2024-2025学年高二上·浙江·阶段练习) The Natural Center is a Beautiful Ode to Earth What is nature? When you imagine nature, do you think about humans? Often, we don’t imagine humans as a part of the natural landscape, instead viewing ourselves and our creations as separate and distinct from the organic world around us. How do we reconcile (使和谐一致) our idea of humanity with our idea of nature, as we are animals ourselves? Artist Aaron Delehanty explores questions such as these through his work The Natural Center. Delehanty, a lifelong environmentalist, creates pieces that focus on the boundary between nature and humankind. His goal, no matter the media or technique he uses, is to challenge the way we systemize our natural world. The Natural Center is currently on exhibit in the Art and Music Library’s Frontispace Gallery. Each one of the mixed media paintings and sculptures intertwines (交织) themes of nature and humanity, exploring feelings of unnaturalness or discomfort in the spaces where they meet. The most prominently placed piece is the waterco lor series on the back wall of the exhibit. On the other wall, the Origami Audubon Series features image ry from John James Audubon’s famous Birds of America watercolor painting series. The exhibit also houses four sculpted cranes, each frozen in a unique pose. The Natural Center will be on display through Friday, Feb. 17 in the Frontispace Gallery, located on the ground floor of Rush Rhees Library at the Art and Music Library entrance. 35.What does Aaron Delehanty intend to do through The Natural Center? A.To praise humans as animals. B.To challenge the natural world. C.To integrate mankind into nature. D.To systemize the human world. 36.What can you do in the exhibit? A.Make unique sculptures. B.Admire fascinating artworks. C.Enjoy comfortable music. D.Observe various living creatures. 37.In which section of the magazine may the text appear? A.Gardening. B.Health. C.Wildlife. D.Art. Passage 11 (2024·北京·高考真题)When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.      One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 38.How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A.Scared. B.Worried. C.Discouraged. D.Wronged. 39.In her 30s, the author _________. A.avoided oil painting practice B.sought for a painting career C.fancied abstract painting D.exhibited child paintings 40.Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A.Confusing. B.Empowering. C.Disturbing. D.Entertaining. 41.What can we learn from this passage? A.Actions speak louder than words. B.Hard work is the mother of success. C.Dreams are the reflections of realities. D.Creative activities involve being confident Passage 12 (2024-2025学年高二上·江苏南京·阶段练习) Friends are important in our lives, but we sometimes have to separate from our friends. “A Farewell Song” is about saying goodbye to a friend. It is a famous poem by Wang Wei, a great poet, who lived in Tang Dynasty. He is good at writing poems and drawing. When talking about Wang Wei, people often say there are pictures in his poems and there are poems in his pictures. His poems are full of beauty and imagination. “No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain”, “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green”, a picture of silence and peace gets into our eyes. After a morning rain in spring, the road, the willows (柳树) and the hotel are completely different. The hotel looks green. The willows look fresh. Everything is nice, gentle and silent. Willow branches are considered as a typical symbol of farewell in China. In ancient times, Chinese people often used them as gifts when they said goodbye to their friends.      “I invite you to drink a cup of wine again” is the poet’s warm and real way of not wanting to say goodbye to his friend. Having another drink together is like a symbol of their goodbye. Lastly, “West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen” shows the feeling of being alone and missing someone. It also shows his sincere love and care for his friend. “A Farewell Song” creates a feeling of quiet sadness. It mixes beautiful pictures and human feelings to deeply express the common experience of saying goodbye. 42.When did Wang Wei’s friend leave in the poem? A.In spring. B.In summer. C.In autumn.

Passage 13 (2024-2025学年高二上江苏南通·单元测试) On Wednesday evening, nine high school students will compete (竞争) for the title of national champion of Poetry Out Loud, which is a kind of yearly spelling activity for poetry. The champion will get $20,000. Tens of thousands of teens who came from across the country competed in all 50 states (州), before they made it to Tuesday’s semi-fnals (半决赛). For the competition, participants need to select, memorize and recite classic and contemporary (当代的) poems; this year, Shakespeare, Yeats, Emily Dickinson, Rita Dove and Philip Levine arein the mix. Judges rate the recitations on criteria (标准) including “physical presence”, “voice” and“'evidence of understanding”. Vera Escaja-Heiss, the state champion from Vermont state, chose the poem written by SandraM. Castillo. As the daughter of immigrants (移民) from Spain and Germany, Escaja-Heiss saidshe looked for poems she could relate to. “Castillo talks about not knowing your culture and beingstripped (剥夺) from it, and I feel that every day,” she said. Joao Rodrigues Victor, the state champion from Maine, recited “A History Without Suffering”.

Passage 14 (2024-2025学年高二·云南昆明·检测)“We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard professor Stephen Owen. Even though scholars studying Chinese history and culture often compare Du Fu to Dante and Shakespeare, this famous Chinese poet and thinker, who is also greatly respected in East Asian cultures, is still not very well-known in the West. However, with the screening of Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, the first English-language documentary feature about the poet, the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to come to an end. From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges and down to the forested hills of Hunan Province, Michael Wood, the documentary presenter, traveled to various places, including the poet’s birthplace in Gongyi, Henan Province, the Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an (now Xi’an), and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu, Southwest China. Along the way, he met and talked to ordinary people, dancers and musicians. They helped to tell the interesting story of the poet whose writings have been heard for many centuries, speaking for the pain of ordinary people caught in war, starvation (饥饿), and natural disasters. “Chinese people really value the recording of history, and Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are reflected in his own life and spiritual journey,” noted Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China. “Du’s poetry reflects the experience and transforms it, so it becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of the Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen, who in 2016 completed an eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English. 48.What can we know about Du Fu’s poetry from the passage? A.It is only popular in China. B.It focuses on the joy of life. C.It is not well-known in the West. D.It is simple and easy to understand. 49.What did Michael Wood do to explore for the documentary? A.Discussed with modern poets and scholars. B.Visited historical sites significant to Du Fu’s life. C.Analyzed Du Fu’s influence in Western literature. D.Compared Western poetic styles with Eastern ones. 50.What does Stephen Owen’s eight-year-long project involve? A.Publishing a book about Du Fu. B.Translating Du Fu’s poems into English. C.Studying the development of Chinese poetry. D.Evaluating the effects of history on Du Fu’s creation. 51.What is the purpose of this passage? A.To highlight the importance of Du Fu’s poetry. B.To show some little-known facts about Du Fu. C.To discuss the link between culture and literature. D.To introduce the English documentary about poetry. Passage 15 (2024-2025学年高二上·山东济南·阶段练习)Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school. It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at that time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life. How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems? There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavourable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged. Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem; they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles. 52.Why is reading poems thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century? A.Because it built a link among people. B.Because it helped unite a community. C.Because it was a source of self-education. D.Because it was a source of pleasure. 53.What does the underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Stories. B.Changes. C.Amusements. D.Concentrations. 54.What is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry? A.Students are poorly educated in high school. B.Poems have become difficult to understand. C.Students are becoming less interested in poetry. D.TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry. 55.What does the author try to tell us by writing the text? A.The history and changes of poetry. B.The correct way for teachers to teach poetry. C.The failure of poetry in people’s life nowadays. D.The reason why people aren’t keen on poetry today. 阅读七选五 Passage 1 (2024-2025学年高二上·重庆·阶段练习) French Customs Around Eating Meals France is celebrated globally for its cooking contributions.

Most markets carry this sugar, but it may not always be clearly labeled. You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane. 6 Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized. 7 Later, they slowly spread to America. One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions. 8 Beet sugar is also easier to produce. just requiring very basic processing. So in consideration of the cost- effective characteristics, beets are an attractive alternative to sugarcane. 9 The initial step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. The resulting juice is then combined with liquids squeezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly identical to sugarcane sugar. The quantities of beet sugar and sugarcane sugar can be used equally in baking recipes. 10 While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a baked treat has been made with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar. So beet sugar sometimes can replace sugarcane sugar in a baking recipe. A.Beets can be easily processed. B.But its source may be actually beets. C.The flavour of baked goods is quite similar. D.Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar. E.In most cases, people tend to eat sugarcane sugar. F.Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality. G.Therefore, beet sugar processing plants began to be built in Europe. Passage 3 (2023-2024学年高二上·重庆长寿·期末) What kind of music do you like? How do you feel when you listen to your favorite music?

Passage 4 (2024-2025学年高二上·江苏镇江·开学考试) 3D-Printed Violins While professional violinists often have instruments that cost between $2000 and $10, 000, it is possible to have one that costs millions depending on how they were and who made them. 16 This can make it hard for many to access the instrument, especially for beginners and music classrooms. However, the good news for them is that they will meet with low-cost and durable (耐用的) 3D-printed violins thanks to The Acoustical Society of America’s AVIVA Young Artists Program. The team’s inspiration roots in multiple places. Their goals were to explore the new world of sounds created by using new materials, to use the new technology of other fields, and to make music education accessible through the printing of more durable instruments. 17 The method of distribution has yet to be decided — it could involve shipping fully printed violins, sharing the 3D-printing files with makers, or a combination of both. 18 The neck and fingerboard are printed in smooth ABS plastic to provide a comfortable grasp for the musicians, while the violin’s body is made of a plastic polymer substance, much like a typical acoustic (原声的) violin. The outcome is a violin that sounds darker and softer than traditionally built violins. 19 “The next step is to lower the costs of production for making such instruments more widely available, especially in the field of education,” said Mary-Elizabeth Brown, director of the AVIVA Young Artists Program. Violins are not the only instruments that are produced through 3D-printing technology. 20 Effective results have been obtained from many of them. A.Besides, the AVIVA violin is less damaged than its traditional wooden cousins. B.3D-printed violins have been popular with beginners since they were invented. C.The violin was built in two pieces using 3D printing. D.The project is also to get violins to children that couldn’t otherwise afford them. E.Indeed, even basic violins for students often cost $1000 or more. F.Many instruments have been produced with a 3D printer before. G.Most students have to give up learning the instrument due to the high cost.

In space, where astronauts face extreme environmental and physical changes, the need for safe, nutritious and energy- laden food is particularly vital to overall health. Space food must provide enough energy to fuel astronauts on their demanding missions, according to NASA.In microgravity (low gravity state that makes astronauts appear to be weightless) environments, proper nutrition can fight against the resulting degradation of bones and muscles. For example, vitamins D, K and C aid in synthesizing (合成) calcium into bone. Meanwhile, dietary supplements like iron, omega-3 fatty acids and B12 can make up for dietary insufficiency. After decades of nutritional studies and food technology advancements, NASA has moved focus away from supplements and dietary formulas  (配方) toward providing as many nutrients from fruits and vegetables as possible. However, it can be difficult to rely heavily on fruits and vegetables as a space food source because they don’t contain many calories. This poses an issue for spaceflight, where cargo (货物) room is precious. NASA can’t merely consider health when designing space food, though. The nutritional value of a meal only goes so far if it doesn’t appeal to astronauts. Rather, Grace Douglas, the lead scientist for NASA’s Advanced Food Technology research group, and her colleagues aim to offer astronauts several meal. options to avoid menu fatigue (疲劳). Such variety also provides psychological health benefits.“ Food becomes more important with mission duration because it’s one of the only familiar things that they have, ” Douglas says. As space organizations look ahead to. long- duration missions, it will be key to craft a sustainable food source that doesn’t require resupply missions. To achieve this, NASA scientists are studying the best ways to grow crops in microgravity. On the International Space Station, astronaut s have successfully grow n a variety of leafy greens and flowers in the Vegetable Production System, known as Veggie. Eating a fresh leafy green could help astronauts feel connected with the distant green planet they call home. 4.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.The importance of space food design. B.The challenges for astronauts in space. C.The general requirements for space food. D.The impact of microgravity on astronauts. 5.How do Douglas’s team enhance astronauts’ dining experience? A.They make food look appealing. B.They rearrange the menu schedule. C.They provide multiple food choices. D.They conduct taste tests on astronauts. 6.What can astronauts expect from Veggie? A.A supplement to the oxygen supply. B.Supply of psychological comfort C.Enhancement of the nutritional quality. D.An improvement in communication with Earth. 7.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.How do astronauts eat in space? B.What makes space food so special?

Brisson, 38, said his passion for cheese developed as a boy. “My father would take me to the cheese store every Sunday.” After studying at the National Dairy Industries School, Brisson set up Paroles de Fromagers to run courses in cheese-making for the public and training for professionals. He chose to locate the museum in Paris to attract the French and tourists and to avoid regional competition. Brisson has worked with half a dozen cheese-makers to help visitors understand the art of producing different varieties from raw milk, as well as the role of bacteria, the animals and the land on which they eat. Agathe de Saint-Exupéry will be one of the experts explaining the process, including how makers “read” the milk and how small details can affect the final product. “It’s a very individual process that depends on so many things, even the mood of the animals whose milk is being used. You can make the same good cheese every day, and every day it will taste different. It just cannot be done industrially,” she said. Brisson said the museum would be a “little window” on country life in the heart of the capital. “My dream is that in 20 years’ time, someone will say they decide to become a cheese-maker after visiting the museum.” 8.What can we know about cheese-making according to the text? A.It is easy to master. B.It fails to attract the young. C.It has its roots in France. D.It involves a standard process. 9.What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4? A.To describe Brisson’s working experiences. B.To show the influence of the museum. C.To add some background information. D.To introduce a new topic of discussion. 10.Why can’t cheese be mass-produced? A.It doesn’t sell well. B.Its raw material is rare. C.It is hard to store. D.Its taste varies considerably. 11.What is a suitable title for the text? A.The Museum of Cheese B.The Story of a Cheese-Maker C.The Art of Cheese-Making D.The Future of Cheese-Making 【答案】8.B 9.C 10.D 11.A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了法国第一家奶酪博物馆的创始人Pierre Brisson对奶酪的热爱以及他对传承奶酪制作传统技艺的看法,同时介绍了博物馆的相关情况。 8.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although people like eating it and the demand for cheese is still high, fewer youngsters want to make a career out of it.(虽然人们喜欢吃奶酪,对奶酪的需求仍然很高,但很少有年轻人想以此为职业)”可知,奶酪制作这一行业对年轻人的吸引力不大。故选B项。 9.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Brisson, 38, said his passion for cheese developed as a boy. ‘My father would take me to the cheese store every Sunday.’ After studying at the National Dairy Industries School, Brisson set up Paroles de Fromagers to run courses in cheese-making for the public and training for professionals.(38岁的布里松说,他对奶酪的热爱从小就开始培养。‘我父亲每个星期天都会带我去奶酪店。’在国家乳制品工业学校学习后,布里松创立了Paroles de Fromagers,为公众开设奶酪制作课程,并为专业人士提供培训)”可知,本段主要介绍了Pierre Brisson对奶酪的热爱以及他创立奶酪制作课程和培训的经历,这是为了补充一些关于Pierre Brisson的背景信息。故选C项。 10.细节理解题。根据第六段中“You can make the same good cheese every day, and every day it will taste different. It just cannot be done industrially,(你可以每天做同样的好奶酪,但每天的味道都会不同。它不能工业化生产)”可知,奶酪的味道每天都会有所不同,因此不能大规模生产。故选D项。 11.主旨大意题。根据第一段中“‘Cheese’ is a word that brings joy to Pierre Brisson, the founder of France’s first cheese museum(‘奶酪’这个词给法国第一家奶酪博物馆的创始人Pierre Brisson带来了欢乐)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了法国第一家奶酪博物馆及其创始人Pierre Brisson对奶酪的热爱和传承奶酪制作传统技艺的看法,因此最适合本文的标题是“奶酪博物馆”。故选A项。 Passage 4 (2024-2025学年高二上·广东深圳·阶段练习) Struggling to give up meat and move to a vegetarian diet? Your genes could be to blame, scientists suspect. A study suggests that genetics plays a role in whether people can stick to a strict vegetarian diet. While deciding to quit meat may be a personal lifestyle choice, based on religious and moral considerations, genetics can make it harder or easier for some people. “Are all humans capable of existing long term on a strict vegetarian diet? This is a question that has not been seriously studied.” said study author Dr Nabeel Yaseen. “There is something that people may be missing.” “One area where plant products differ from meat is complex lipids (fats). There may be lipid components present in meat that some people need. And maybe people whose genetics favour vegetarianism are able to synthesise (合成) these components.” Experts compared UK. Biobank genetic data from 5,324 strict vegetarians who avoided fish, poultry and red meat, to 329, 455 people who were omnivorous (杂食的) They found three genes that were significantly associated with vegetarianism and another 31 genes that are potentially associated. Several of these genes, including two of the top three, were involved in lipid (fat) metabolism (新陈代谢) and brain function. It has led experts to believe that people who find a vegetarian diet easy to follow may be able to synthesise these important fats from elsewhere. According to the Vegetarian Society, 4.5 percent of the British population follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. Scientists say that often the driving force behind why people choose certain foods is not just taste but how well the body metabolises products. Dr Yaseen believes there may be something in meat that most people struggle to do without. “Perhaps you have a certain component — maybe a lipid component-that makes you need and long for it.” he added. The experts believe the findings open the door to creating better meat substitutes as well as tailoring dietary recommendations to personal genetics. 12.Why does the author mention the question raised by Dr Yaseen in Paragraph 2? A.To highlight its significance. B.To draw wide attention. C.To uncover something overlooked. D.To lead in the topic. 13.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The process involved. B.The approach adopted. C.The data gathered. D.The conclusion drawn. 14.What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to in Paragraph 5? A.The driving force. B.A certain food. C.A lipid component. D.Meat. 15.What is the best title for the text? A.What Determines Your Passion for Food B.Can’t Resist Meat? Blame Your Genes C.Vegetarian or Vegan?

Molly Lewis did just that by becoming a professional whistler, joining a very small and unique group. Shane O’Neill writes in the Washington Post, “If you’re a comedian, at some point you’ve gotten the frightening ‘Tell me a joke!’ from a stranger. If you think that’s bad, try being a professional whistler. ‘It happens all the time,’ said Molly Lewis with a smile. ‘Sometimes I’ll oblige.’” Lewis released her first album, On the Lips, in February, hoping to raise the profile (形象) of whistling. “People often don’t have a reference for whistle music apart from a jingle or a riff in a bad pop song,” Lewis said. “I think it’s a beautiful instrument.” People are starting to notice. Her whistled cover of Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For? appeared in the Barbie movie, both in a scene and during the credits. Lewis brings depth and nuance (细微差别) to a form that is usually cheerful or absent-minded. She acknowledges the novelty of what she does but remains inspired by artists like Marty & Elayne, a husband-and-wife lounge duo with a cult following in Los Angeles. “They played for 37 years, five nights a week, and it was very special and beautiful,” Lewis said. Lewis learned to whistle at four but didn’t take her talent seriously until she saw Pucker Up, a 2005 documentary about competitive whistling. She attended the International Whistlers Convention in 2012 and has performed in music clubs ever since. Starting in 2017, Lewis performed a series of shows called Café Molly at Zebulon, attracting notable figures like John C. Reilly, Karen O, and Mac DeMarco. On tour, she aims to create an atmosphere of elegant sophistication, a vibe (氛围) she hopes to bring home with On the Lips. 19.What does the underlined word “oblige” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Agree. B.Decline. C.Promise. D.Ignore. 20.What did Lewis intend to do with her first album? A.To stress the role of whistling. B.To get whistling recognized. C.To give credit for a movie. D.To attract media attention. 21.What did Lewis think of the husband-and-wife lounge duo? A.They are discouraged. B.They are depressed. C.They are committed. D.They are stressed. 22.How did Pucker Up affect Lewis? A.It recognized her talent as a whistler. B.It earned her international reputation. C.It gave her easy access to music clubs. D.It deepened her devotion to whistling. 【答案】19.A 20.B 21.C 22.D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Molly Lewis另辟蹊径,成了一名专业的口哨音乐家。 19.词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“If you’re a comedian, at some point you’ve gotten the frightening ‘Tell me a joke!’ from a stranger. If you think that’s bad, try being a professional whistler.(如果你是一名喜剧演员,在某个时候,你会从一个陌生人那里得到可怕的‘给我讲个笑话!’。如果你认为这很糟糕,试着做一名专业的吹口哨者。)”可知,有时候喜剧演员被陌生人要求讲个笑话,可能会感觉很糟糕,而如果做名专业的吹口哨者则不会有这种体验,由此可推测出,“‘It happens all the time,’ said Molly Lewis with a smile. ‘Sometimes I’ll oblige.’”表示的是作为吹口哨者她总会被要求吹个口哨,而她有时候会答应请求,oblige意为“答应请求”,与agree意思一致。故选A。 20.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Lewis released her first album, On the Lips, in February, hoping to raise the profile(形象) of whistling.(Lewis于2月发行了她的第一张专辑《On the Lips》,希望提高吹口哨的形象。)”可知,Lewis发行第一张专辑是想要提高吹口哨的形象,让这一艺术形式得到公众的认可。故选B。 21.推理判断题。根据第五段中的““They played for 37 years, five nights a week, and it was very special and beautiful,” Lewis said.(Lewis说:“他们演奏了37年,每周5个晚上,这非常特别优美。”)”可知,这对夫妇休息室二人组表演了37年,每周表演5个晚上,由此可推测出,他们是非常坚定的表演者。故选C。 22.推理判断题。根据第六段“Lewis learned to whistle at four but didn’t take her talent seriously until she saw Pucker Up, a 2005 documentary about competitive whistling.(Lewis在四岁时学会了吹口哨,但直到2005年观看了一部关于竞技吹口哨的纪录片《Pucker Up》,她才开始认真对待自己的天赋。)”可知,她在看了《Pucker Up》这部竞技吹口哨纪录片后,开始认真对待自己吹口哨的天赋,由此可推测出,这部纪录片加深了她对吹口哨的投入。故选D。 Passage 7 (2024-2025学年高二上·山西吕梁·阶段练习) When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss. Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. “It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).” The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin — to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs. With millions of songs available, one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题). “It’s a very cool result,” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.” 23.Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph? A.To reach a conclusion. B.To lead in the topic. C.To offer a suggestion. D.To provide the background. 24.What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music? A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Unclear. D.Unconcerned. 25.What did the participants do in the new study? A.They reported their feelings of pain. B.They interviewed many musicians. C.They made various kinds of teacups. D.They picked out the music they don't like. 26.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music? B.How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly? C.The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music D.Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain 【答案】23.B 24.B 25.A 26.D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现——某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。 23.推理判断题。根据第一段“When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.(当阿黛尔在2011年发行单曲《Someone Like You》时,这首苦乐参半的歌曲受到了全球数百万人的欢迎。十多年后,这首歌仍然是她最受欢迎的歌曲之一。她的艺术,以及其他许多掌握了用缓慢而情绪化的节奏让听众感到感动的艺术的人,有一种管理心碎和失去的情感痛苦的方法。)”可推断,作者在第一段提到Adele是为了引出话题,说明她的音乐能够引起听众的情感共鸣,并引出音乐对减轻疼痛的研究。故选B项。 24.推理判断题。观点态度题。根据第三段““It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).(当你头痛时,音乐不能代替药物,但音乐可以帮助减轻你的疼痛,”安大略省金斯敦皇后大学的教授帕特里克·斯特罗斯曼说。他没有参加这项研究。“与其他药物不同,”他指出,“听音乐没有副作用或风险(只需将音量保持在合理的水平)。”)”可知,Stroman对于听音乐减轻痛苦的效果持“肯定的”态度。故选B项。 25.细节理解题。根据第四段“When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.(在评价他们的体验时,与听不熟悉的放松歌曲相比,人们更有可能在听自己喜欢的歌曲时感到更少的痛苦)”可知,研究的参与者会在实验中报告他们对于痛苦的感受。故选A项。 26.主旨大意题。根据第二段“Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.(根据发表在《疼痛研究前沿》杂志上的一项新研究,听喜欢的歌曲也可以减少人们的疼痛感。研究发现,最有效的止痛药是描述苦乐参半和情感经历的悲伤歌曲。)”可知,某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。故短文的标题为“某些类型的音乐可以帮助你减轻疼痛”。故选D项。 Passage 8 (2023-2024学年高二下·山东济南·期末) Matthew Weihmuller, despite being blind from birth, earned his master’s degree in music at Florida State University. He also tours with a band that shows elements of jazz and rock. Additionally, he is a composer, using specialized music technology for the blind. He frequently engages as a speaker, having been a guest lecturer at John Hopkins University. While explaining his shift from performance to teaching, Weihmuller said, “All great performers teach, and it’s the only way to pass along this craft, especially about jazz music. I found that teaching became more my calling than performing. I wanted to make a difference, and that was really important to me.” Innovatively, Weihmuller uses a unique teaching method to enhance communication among jazz students. When practising a play, he turns off the lights, removes the visualelements and forces students to rely more on their other senses. They have to feel their instrument with their fingers and hands. Weihmuller’s own blindness has fueled his mastery of other senses, particularly crucial in playing jazz. “You have to turn your disadvantage into an advantage. Where there is a will, there is a way.” Weihmuller said. Reflecting on his early struggles with sheet music, Weihmuller recalled the challenge of obtaining braille (盲文) music, which was not as accessible then as it is today. To overcome this obstacle, he had to create his own braille music, a process that continued through his college years. Weihmuller has a strong desire to influence his students with value of perseverance and musical progression. His ultimate goal is to inspire others facing challenges and disabilities. He added, “I do hope that when they leave my classroom, they’re not only better musicians but also better people.” 27.What can we learn about Weihmuller from Paragraph 1? A.He has multiple roles. B.He owns a music band. C.He complains of his disability. D.He gives talks worldwide. 28.What drives Weihmuller to turn to music teaching? A.The duty to help performers. B.The strong desire to succeed. C.The will to pass down music. D.The aim to gain independence. 29.Why did Weihmuller turn off lights in his music class? A.To reduce students’ anxiety. B.To train physical abilities. C.To teach students better. D.To test learning results. 30.Which of the following can best describe Weihmuller? A.Outgoing and caring. B.Courageous and honest. C.Creative and determined. D.Knowledgeable and patient. 【答案】27.A 28.C 29.C 30.C 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了一位天生失明的音乐家Matthew Weihmuller的励志故事,包括他的教育背景、音乐成就、教学方法以及他如何面对困难并激励他人的经历。 27.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Matthew Weihmuller, despite being blind from birth, earned his master’s degree in music at Florida State University. He also tours with a band that shows elements of jazz and rock. Additionally, he is a composer, using specialized music technology for the blind. He frequently engages as a speaker, having been a guest lecturer at John Hopkins University.( Matthew Weihmuller虽然天生失明,却在佛罗里达州立大学获得了音乐硕士学位。他还与一支展示爵士和摇滚元素的乐队一起巡回演出。此外,他还是一名作曲家,使用专门的盲人音乐技术。他经常参加演讲,曾在约翰霍普金斯大学担任客座讲师)”可知,Matthew Weihmuller虽然天生失明,但他拥有多个角色:他获得了佛罗里达州立大学音乐硕士学位,与一支融合了爵士和摇滚元素的乐队巡演,他还是一位作曲家,使用专为盲人设计的音乐技术,并且经常作为演讲者,曾在约翰霍普金斯大学担任客座讲师。因此,我们可以从第一段中了解到Weihmuller有多个角色。故选A。 28.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While explaining his shift from performance to teaching, Weihmuller said, “All great performers teach, and it’s the only way to pass along this craft, especially about jazz music. I found that teaching became more my calling than performing. I wanted to make a difference, and that was really important to me.”(在解释他从表演到教学的转变时,Weihmuller说:“所有伟大的表演者都教书,这是传授这门手艺的唯一途径,尤其是关于爵士乐。我发现教书比表演更像是我的使命。我想有所作为,这对我来说真的很重要。”)”可知,Weihmuller转向音乐教学的驱动力是传递音乐技艺的意愿。故选C。 29.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When practising a play, he turns off the lights, removes the visualelements and forces students to rely more on their other senses. They have to feel their instrument with their fingers and hands. Weihmuller’s own blindness has fueled his mastery of other senses, particularly crucial in playing jazz. “You have to turn your disadvantage into an advantage. Where there is a will, there is a way.” Weihmuller said. (在练习戏剧时,他会关掉灯,去除视觉元素,迫使学生更多地依靠其他感官。他们必须用手指和手去感受乐器。Weihmuller自己的失明助长了他对其他感官的掌握,尤其是在演奏爵士乐方面。“你必须化劣势为优势。有志者事竟成。”)”可知,Weihmuller在音乐教学中采用了一种独特的方法,即关掉灯,去除视觉元素,迫使学生更多地依赖其他感官。他希望通过这种方式来增强学生的其他感官能力,特别是对于爵士乐来说至关重要的感官能力。这种教学方法的目的是为了更好地教学生,帮助他们更深入地理解和感受音乐。故选C。 30.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Innovatively, Weihmuller uses a unique teaching method to enhance communication among jazz students.(Weihmuller教授采用独特的教学方法,加强爵士乐学生之间的交流)”可知,Weihmuller有创造性;再根据第四段“Reflecting on his early struggles with sheet music, Weihmuller recalled the challenge of obtaining braille (盲文) music, which was not as accessible then as it is today. To overcome this obstacle, he had to create his own braille music, a process that continued through his college years.(回想起他早期与乐谱的斗争,Weihmuller回忆起获得盲文音乐的挑战,当时不像今天这样容易获得。为了克服这个障碍,他不得不创作自己的盲文音乐,这个过程一直持续到他的大学时代)”可知,他是一个有决心的人。故选C。 Passage 9 (2023-2024学年高二上·江苏苏州·阶段练习) Up a rocky cliff face, through a narrow opening, and at the end of a snaking passage lies a painting that archaeologists say is the world’s oldest known example of storytelling in art history. Located inside the limestone cave of South Sulawesi, the picture portrays three humanlike figures interacting with a wild pig. The painting, made with a red pigment (颜料), is at least 51,200 years old, according to a study published Wednesday in the scientific journal Nature. It’s the latest prehistoric art to be found in the area’s fascinating limestone caves. Three rough-skinned pigs painted on a cave wall that some of the same researchers reported on in 2021 was previously the world`s oldest depiction of an animal — at 45,500 years old. While younger than some abstract art found in South Africa, it’s the oldest of a narrative (叙事性的) scene, the authors of the study said. “We, as humans, define ourselves as a species that tells stories, and these are the oldest evidence of us doing that,” said study author Maxime Aubert, a professor at Griffith University’s Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research in Australia. “The painter or painters are conveying more information about images than just individual static images. They are telling us how to look at them in association,” he said, “These narrative artworks seem to have been very important to these early people in Sulawesi.” The cave art discoveries have challenged a longstanding belief that artistic expression — and the cognitive leap that fired up the human imagination — began in Europe. In doing so, the cave paintings in Indonesia are shedding new light on the early story of humanity. “My sense is that storytelling has a great antiquity and while we have long lost the oral stories, we have the visual counterparts of these stories to prove it,” said Nowell, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada, who wasn’t involved in the research. “It’s also unclear why so much cave art has been found in this region of Indonesia,” Aubert said, but the finds implied that humans had a rich culture of storytelling, using scenic representation to tell visual stories about human-animal relationships. 31.What do we know about the newly discovered painting? A.It depicts three rough-skinned pigs. B.It is the world’s first abstract artwork. C.It defines human beings as story tellers. D.It is an artwork discovered in Indonesia. 32.What is the importance of narrative artworks in Sulawesi? A.Art serves as a tool for cooking and hunting. B.They connect images, giving more information. C.They represent individual thoughts at that time. D.Individual static images hold no value in history. 33.How does this discovery challenge previous beliefs about artistic expression? A.It suggests that cave art originated in Africa long ago. B.It shows that prehistoric humans had very high artistic abilities. C.It proves that some ancient art was narrative not just static images. D.It shifts the focus from Europe as the only origin of artistic expression. 34.What does the underlined word “antiquity” mean in paragraph 8? A.An old age. B.Modern era. C.Timeless beauty. D.Permanent damage. 【答案】31.D 32.B 33.D 34.A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在印度尼西亚苏拉威西岛南部石灰岩洞穴中发现的一幅壁画,据称这是艺术史上已知最古老的叙事性绘画作品,并对此进行了详细描述和分析。 31.细节理解题。根据第二段“Located inside the limestone cave of South Sulawesi, the picture portrays three humanlike figures interacting with a wild pig. (这幅画位于苏拉威西岛南部的石灰岩洞穴内,描绘了三个类似人类的人物与一头野猪互动)”和最后一段中“It’s also unclear why so much cave art has been found in this region of Indonesia,(目前还不清楚为什么在印度尼西亚的这个地区发现了这么多的洞穴艺术)”可知,新发现的这幅画是在印度尼西亚发现的。故选D项。 32.细节理解题。根据第六段““The painter or painters are  conveying more information about images than just individual static  images. They are telling us how to look at them in association,” he  said, “These narrative artworks seem to have been very important to  these early people in Sulawesi.”(“画家或画家们传达了更多关于图像的信息,而不仅仅是单个静态图像。它们告诉我们如何将它们联系起来看待,”他说,“这些叙事艺术品似乎对苏拉威西岛的早期居民非常重要。”)”可知,叙事性艺术品在苏拉威西的重要性在于它们将图像联系起来,传达了更多的信息。故选B项。 33.推理判断题。根据第七段“The cave art discoveries have challenged a longstanding belief that artistic expression — and the cognitive leap that fired up the human imagination — began in Europe. In doing so, the cave paintings in Indonesia are shedding new light on the early story of humanity. (洞穴艺术的发现挑战了一个长期以来的信念,即艺术表达——以及激发人类想象力的认知飞跃——始于欧洲。在这样做的过程中,印度尼西亚的洞穴壁画为人类早期的故事提供了新的线索)”可知,这一发现挑战了以前关于艺术表达的信念:即艺术表达起源于欧洲。由此推知,这一发现将艺术表达起源的焦点从欧洲转移到了亚洲,提供了新的视角。故选D项。 34.词句猜测题。根据第一段“Up a rocky cliff face,  through a narrow opening, and at the end of a snaking passage lies a  painting that archaeologists say is the world’s oldest known example of  storytelling in art history. (在岩石峭壁上,穿过一个狭窄的开口,在蜿蜒通道的尽头,有一幅画,考古学家说这是艺术史上已知的最古老的讲故事的例子)”及划线词后文“and while we have long lost the oral stories, we have the visual counterparts of these stories to prove it,” said Nowell, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada, who wasn`t involved in the research.(虽然我们早已失去了口头故事,但我们有这些故事的视觉对应物来证明这一点,”加拿大维多利亚大学的考古学家诺威尔说,他没有参与这项研究)”可知,讲故事有着悠久的历史。由此可知,划线词antiquity“年代久远”与A项“an old age”意思相近。故选A项。 Passage 10 (2024-2025学年高二上·浙江·阶段练习) The Natural Center is a Beautiful Ode to Earth What is nature?

Often, we don’t imagine humans as a part of the natural landscape, instead viewing ourselves and our creations as separate and distinct from the organic world around us. How do we reconcile (使和谐一致) our idea of humanity with our idea of nature, as we are animals ourselves? Artist Aaron Delehanty explores questions such as these through his work The Natural Center. Delehanty, a lifelong environmentalist, creates pieces that focus on the boundary between nature and humankind. His goal, no matter the media or technique he uses, is to challenge the way we systemize our natural world. The Natural Center is currently on exhibit in the Art and Music Library’s Frontispace Gallery. Each one of the mixed media paintings and sculptures intertwines (交织) themes of nature and humanity, exploring feelings of unnaturalness or discomfort in the spaces where they meet. The most prominently placed piece is the waterco lor series on the back wall of the exhibit. On the other wall, the Origami Audubon Series features image ry from John James Audubon’s famous Birds of America watercolor painting series.

How do we reconcile (使和谐一致) our idea of humanity with our idea of nature, as we are animals ourselves?(通常,我们不把人类想象成自然景观的一部分,相反,我们认为自己和我们的创造与我们周围的有机世界是分开和不同的。因为我们自己也是动物,我们应该如何调和我们对人类的想法和我们对自然的想法?)”和第二段中“Artist Aaron Delehanty explores questions such as these through his work The Natural Center. His goal, no matter the media or technique he uses, is to challenge the way we systemize our natural world.(艺术家Aaron Delehanty通过他的作品《自然中心》探讨了这些问题。他的目标,无论他使用什么媒介或技术,都是为了挑战我们系统化自然世界的方式。)”可推知,Aaron Delehanty的目的是通过他的作品挑战我们系统化自然世界的方式,挑战将人类与自然分开的想法,意图是将人类融入自然。故选C项。 36.细节理解题。根据第三段“The Natural Center is currently on exhibit in the Art and Music Library’s Frontispace Gallery.

In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.      One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 38.How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A.Scared. B.Worried. C.Discouraged. D.Wronged. 39.In her 30s, the author _________. A.avoided oil painting practice B.sought for a painting career C.fancied abstract painting D.exhibited child paintings 40.Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A.Confusing. B.Empowering. C.Disturbing. D.Entertaining. 41.What can we learn from this passage? A.Actions speak louder than words. B.Hard work is the mother of success. C.Dreams are the reflections of realities. D.Creative activities involve being confident 【答案】38.C 39.A 40.B 41.D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一直喜欢绘画,但中学时由于油画测试成绩较低,作者对绘画失去了信心。在40岁出头时,一个梦让作者重拾画油画的信心并接受了自身局限性的故事。 38.推理判断题。根据第二段“I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.(我觉得很难,但仍希望能通过测试。我没有通过,而且成绩很低。我过于自信了。现在,我被宣布为毫无(油画)天赋的人了)”并结合下文中作者多年不碰油画的经历可推知,作者对美术考试的结果感到气馁。故选C。 39.细节理解题。根据第三段“In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art.(在我30多岁时,我结交了画家朋友们,学到了看待艺术的新方法)”和“Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. (虽然这些新朋友是使用油画颜料的抽象画师,或者是版画家或雕塑家,但我把油画作为禁忌的高级形式,不允许我练习)”可知,作者在30多岁时回避练习油画。故选A。 40.推理判断题。根据第四段“The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. (这个梦给我的感觉是如此的权威,它震撼了我。它是能量的一种形式,让我回我失去了的东西)”可知,作者的梦赋予作者练习油画的力量。故选B。 41.推理判断题。根据第六段“Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much.  (成为一名成功的画家需要有决心。我意识到我总是害怕想要得太多)”及文章内容可知,本文主要讲述了作者一直喜欢绘画,但中学时由于油画测试成绩较低,作者对绘画失去了信心。在40岁出头时,一个梦让作者重拾画油画的信心并接受了自身局限性的故事。由此可推知,我们能从文章中学到创作活动需要自信,故选D。 Passage 12 (2024-2025学年高二上·江苏南京·阶段练习) Friends are important in our lives, but we sometimes have to separate from our friends. “A Farewell Song” is about saying goodbye to a friend. It is a famous poem by Wang Wei, a great poet, who lived in Tang Dynasty. He is good at writing poems and drawing. When talking about Wang Wei, people often say there are pictures in his poems and there are poems in his pictures. His poems are full of beauty and imagination. “No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain”, “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green”, a picture of silence and peace gets into our eyes. After a morning rain in spring, the road, the willows (柳树) and the hotel are completely different. The hotel looks green. The willows look fresh. Everything is nice, gentle and silent. Willow branches are considered as a typical symbol of farewell in China. In ancient times, Chinese people often used them as gifts when they said goodbye to their friends.      “I invite you to drink a cup of wine again” is the poet’s warm and real way of not wanting to say goodbye to his friend. Having another drink together is like a symbol of their goodbye. Lastly, “West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen” shows the feeling of being alone and missing someone. It also shows his sincere love and care for his friend. “A Farewell Song” creates a feeling of quiet sadness. It mixes beautiful pictures and human feelings to deeply express the common experience of saying goodbye. 42.When did Wang Wei’s friend leave in the poem? A.In spring. B.In summer. C.In autumn. D.In winter. 43.What is considered as a typical symbol of farewell in China? A.A morning rain. B.A handkerchief. C.A willow branch.

These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard professor Stephen Owen. Even though scholars studying Chinese history and culture often compare Du Fu to Dante and Shakespeare, this famous Chinese poet and thinker, who is also greatly respected in East Asian cultures, is still not very well-known in the West. However, with the screening of Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, the first English-language documentary feature about the poet, the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to come to an end. From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges and down to the forested hills of Hunan Province, Michael Wood, the documentary presenter, traveled to various places, including the poet’s birthplace in Gongyi, Henan Province, the Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an (now Xi’an), and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu, Southwest China. Along the way, he met and talked to ordinary people, dancers and musicians. They helped to tell the interesting story of the poet whose writings have been heard for many centuries, speaking for the pain of ordinary people caught in war, starvation (饥饿), and natural disasters. “Chinese people really value the recording of history, and Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are reflected in his own life and spiritual journey,” noted Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China. “Du’s poetry reflects the experience and transforms it, so it becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of the Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen, who in 2016 completed an eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English. 48.What can we know about Du Fu’s poetry from the passage? A.It is only popular in China. B.It focuses on the joy of life. C.It is not well-known in the West. D.It is simple and easy to understand. 49.What did Michael Wood do to explore for the documentary? A.Discussed with modern poets and scholars. B.Visited historical sites significant to Du Fu’s life. C.Analyzed Du Fu’s influence in Western literature. D.Compared Western poetic styles with Eastern ones. 50.What does Stephen Owen’s eight-year-long project involve? A.Publishing a book about Du Fu. B.Translating Du Fu’s poems into English. C.Studying the development of Chinese poetry. D.Evaluating the effects of history on Du Fu’s creation. 51.What is the purpose of this passage? A.To highlight the importance of Du Fu’s poetry. B.To show some little-known facts about Du Fu. C.To discuss the link between culture and literature. D.To introduce the English documentary about poetry. 【答案】48.C 49.B 50.B 51.A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国唐代著名诗人杜甫。 48.细节理解题。根据第一段“Even though scholars studying Chinese history and culture often compare Du Fu to Dante and Shakespeare, this famous Chinese poet and thinker, who is also greatly respected in East Asian cultures, is still not very well-known in the West.(尽管研究中国历史和文化的学者经常将杜甫与但丁和莎士比亚相提并论,但这位在东亚文化中也备受推崇的著名中国诗人兼思想家在西方仍然鲜为人知)”可知,杜甫的诗歌在西方并不太知名。故选C项。 49.细节理解题。根据第三段“From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges and down to the forested hills of Hunan Province, Michael Wood, the documentary presenter, traveled to various places, including the poet’s birthplace in Gongyi, Henan Province, the Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an (now Xi’an), and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu, Southwest China.(从黄河到长江三峡,再到湖南省的森林丘陵,纪录片主持人Michael Wood游历了许多地方,包括河南省巩义的诗人出生地、唐朝都城长安(今西安)和中国西南部成都的杜甫草堂)”可知,Michael Wood参观了杜甫出生地等多个与杜甫生活和文学活动相关的地方,包括杜甫草堂。故选B项。 50.细节理解题。根据最后一段““Du’s poetry reflects the experience and transforms it, so it becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of the Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen, who in 2016 completed an eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English.(“杜甫的诗歌反映并转化了这种体验,因此它成为了中国文化情感词汇的一部分,”Stephen Owen说道,Stephen Owen于 2016 年完成了一项为期八年的项目,将杜甫的 1400 首诗歌翻译成英文)”可知,Stephen Owen的八年项目是将杜甫的1400首诗翻译成英文。故选B项。 51.推理判断题。根据根据第一段“Even though scholars studying Chinese history and culture often compare Du Fu to Dante and Shakespeare, this famous Chinese poet and thinker, who is also greatly respected in East Asian cultures, is still not very well-known in the West.(尽管研究中国历史和文化的学者经常将杜甫与但丁和莎士比亚相提并论,但这位在东亚文化中也备受推崇的著名中国诗人兼思想家在西方仍然鲜为人知)”以及第二段“However, with the screening of Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, the first English-language documentary feature about the poet, the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to come to an end.(然而,随着首部关于杜甫的英文纪录片《杜甫:中国最伟大的诗人》的上映,杜甫作为中国保存最完好的文学秘密的日子似乎走到了尽头)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了中国唐代诗人杜甫的诗歌和他在中国及西方的影响力,强调了杜甫诗歌的重要性。故选A项。 Passage 15 (2024-2025学年高二上·山东济南·阶段练习)Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school. It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at that time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life. How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems? There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavourable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged. Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem; they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles. 52.Why is reading poems thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century? A.Because it built a link among people. B.Because it helped unite a community. C.Because it was a source of self-education. D.Because it was a source of pleasure. 53.What does the underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Stories. B.Changes. C.Amusements. D.Concentrations. 54.What is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry? A.Students are poorly educated in high school. B.Poems have become difficult to understand. C.Students are becoming less interested in poetry. D.TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry. 55.What does the author try to tell us by writing the text? A.The history and changes of poetry. B.The correct way for teachers to teach poetry. C.The failure of poetry in people’s life nowadays. D.The reason why people aren’t keen on poetry today. 【答案】52.A 53.C 54.B 55.D 【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要讲的是为什么人们不再喜欢诗歌。 52.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual.(然而,诗歌是快乐的来源,是自我教育的来源,是与他人或与自己社区之外的世界联系的来源。阅读它们既是一种个人行为,也是一种社会行为,甚至可能比个人行为更具社会性。)”可知,朗读诗歌在人们之间建立了一种联系。故选A。 53.词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的television(电视)、 movie theatres(电影院)和World Wide Web(万维网)可知,这些都是消遣的娱乐形式,因此划线词所在句子表示“的确,那时候没有电视,没有电影院,也没有万维网来提供娱乐”,因此划线词diversion的意思是“消遣,娱乐”,和Amusements意思相近。故选C。 54.推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中的“Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.(读者们认为诗歌不适合晚上坐在炉边或安乐椅上,它们属于其他难以阅读的东西。)”和最后一段“Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.(然而,当老师把这些问题强加给他们的高中生时,通常发生的情况是,年轻人认为诗歌是令人不快的填字游戏。)”可推知,读者与诗歌之间巨大鸿沟的主要原因是诗歌变得难以理解了。故选B。 55.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段的几个问题“Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?(为什么大多数美国人不再对诗歌感到自在,为什么今天大多数人认为诗歌没有什么可告诉他们的,他们没有诗歌也能过得很好?)”以及下文就这几个问题展开阐述并告诉读者造成这种现象的原因(人们不再喜欢诗歌的原因)可知,作者试图通过写这篇文章告诉我们今天人们不喜欢诗歌的原因。故选D。 阅读七选五 Passage 1 (2024-2025学年高二上·重庆·阶段练习) French Customs Around Eating Meals France is celebrated globally for its cooking contributions.

Most markets carry this sugar, but it may not always be clearly labeled. You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane. 6 Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized. 7 Later, they slowly spread to America. One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions. 8 Beet sugar is also easier to produce. just requiring very basic processing. So in consideration of the cost- effective characteristics, beets are an attractive alternative to sugarcane. 9 The initial step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. The resulting juice is then combined with liquids squeezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly identical to sugarcane sugar. The quantities of beet sugar and sugarcane sugar can be used equally in baking recipes. 10 While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a baked treat has been made with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar. So beet sugar sometimes can replace sugarcane sugar in a baking recipe. A.Beets can be easily processed. B.But its source may be actually beets. C.The flavour of baked goods is quite similar. D.Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar. E.In most cases, people tend to eat sugarcane sugar. F.Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality. G.Therefore, beet sugar processing plants began to be built in Europe. 【答案】6.B 7.G 8.F 9.D 10.C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了甜菜作为糖源的重要性、历史、优势以及甜菜糖的生产过程和用途。 6.根据上文“Most markets carry this sugar, but it may not always be clearly labeled. You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane.(大多数市场都出售这种糖,但它可能并不总是清楚地标注出来。您可能认为您刚刚买的白糖是用甘蔗做的。)”可知,空处和上文形成转折关系,指出糖的来源可能不是蔗糖,而是甜菜做的糖。B项:But its source may be actually beets.(但它的来源实际上可能是甜菜。)符合语境。故选B。 7.根据上文“Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized.(甜菜几个世纪以来一直是人类农业中的重要作物,其种植的证据可以追溯到欧洲的古文明。然而,直到16世纪,人们才意识到甜菜作为糖源的潜力。)”可知,欧洲人意识到甜菜作为糖源的潜力,因此变开始建立甜菜加工厂,空处和上文形成因果关系。G项:Therefore, beet sugar processing plants began to be built in Europe.(因此,欧洲开始建立甜菜糖加工厂。)符合语境。故选G。 8.根据上文“One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions.(用甜菜制糖的一个主要优点是,与甘蔗相比,甜菜可以在较冷的地区种植。)”和下文“Beet sugar is also easier to produce.(甜菜糖也更容易生产。)”可知,本段是在说明用甜菜制作糖的优势。F项的“Besides”与上文的“One key advantage”对应。F项:Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality.(此外,甜菜更坚韧,能在质量差的土地上生长。)符合语境。故选F。 9.空处为段落主旨句。根据下文“The initial step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. The resulting juice is then combined with liquids squeezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly identical to sugarcane sugar.(第一步是清洗和切碎甜菜,然后将它们通过一台机器,这台机器迫使热水通过甜菜块。然后将得到的果汁与从甜菜中榨出的液体混合。然后将混合物加热,得到一种浓稠的甜液。最后,对液体进行进一步加工以获得甜菜糖,甜菜糖在化学上与甘蔗糖几乎相同。)”可知,本段主要介绍了制作甜菜糖的步骤。D项中的“how exactly to make beet sugar”与下文中的“The initial step…then…Finally…”对应。D项:Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar.(让我们来看看到底如何制造甜菜糖。)符合语境。故选D。 10.根据下文“While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a baked treat has been made with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar.(虽然有些人能够分辨出区别,但很多人无法分辨出烘焙食品是用甜菜糖还是甘蔗糖做的。)”可知,一些人能够分辨出烘焙食品是用甜菜糖还是甘蔗糖做的,但很多人则无法分辨。这暗示了两者在烘焙后的味道上非常相似。C项:The flavour of baked goods is quite similar.(烘焙食品的味道很相似。)符合语境。故选C。 Passage 3 (2023-2024学年高二上·重庆长寿·期末) What kind of music do you like?

However, the good news for them is that they will meet with low-cost and durable (耐用的) 3D-printed violins thanks to The Acoustical Society of America’s AVIVA Young Artists Program. The team’s inspiration roots in multiple places. Their goals were to explore the new world of sounds created by using new materials, to use the new technology of other fields, and to make music education accessible through the printing of more durable instruments. 17 The method of distribution has yet to be decided — it could involve shipping fully printed violins, sharing the 3D-printing files with makers, or a combination of both. 18 The neck and fingerboard are printed in smooth ABS plastic to provide a comfortable grasp for the musicians, while the violin’s body is made of a plastic polymer substance, much like a typical acoustic (原声的) violin. The outcome is a violin that sounds darker and softer than traditionally built violins. 19 “The next step is to lower the costs of production for making such instruments more widely available, especially in the field of education,” said Mary-Elizabeth Brown, director of the AVIVA Young Artists Program. Violins are not the only instruments that are produced through 3D-printing technology. 20 Effective results have been obtained from many of them. A.Besides, the AVIVA violin is less damaged than its traditional wooden cousins. B.3D-printed violins have been popular with beginners since they were invented. C.The violin was built in two pieces using 3D printing. D.The project is also to get violins to children that couldn’t otherwise afford them. E.Indeed, even basic violins for students often cost $1000 or more. F.Many instruments have been produced with a 3D printer before. G.Most students have to give up learning the instrument due to the high cost. 【答案】16.E 17.D 18.C 19.A 20.F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了用3D技术打印小提琴。 16.前文“While professional violinists often have instruments that cost between $2000 and $10, 000, it is possible to have one that costs millions depending on how they were and who made them.(虽然专业小提琴手的乐器价格通常在2000美元到10000美元之间,但也有可能会有一种价格高达数百万美元的乐器,这取决于它们的品质和制造者。)”讲述了小提琴的价格有可能非常昂贵,后文“This can make it hard for many to access the instrument, especially for beginners and music classrooms.(这会让许多人很难接触到这种乐器,尤其是对于初学者和音乐教室来说。)”讲述了前面所述情况让许多人难以接触到小提琴。由此可知,空处应承上启下,讲述小提琴的昂贵,E项“事实上,即使是学生们最基本的小提琴也要花费1000美元甚至更多。”符合题意。故选E。 17.前文“Their goals were to explore the new world of sounds created by using new materials, to use the new technology of other fields, and to make music education accessible through the printing of more durable instruments.(他们的目标是探索通过使用新材料创造的声音的新世界,使用其他领域的新技术,并通过打印更耐用的乐器来普及音乐教育。)”讲述了该组织的目标,空处应承接上文,D项“该项目还旨在为那些买不起小提琴的孩子们提供小提琴。”符合题意,讲述了该组织的另一个目标。故选D。 18.后文“The neck and fingerboard are printed in smooth ABS plastic to provide a comfortable grasp for the musicians, while the violin’s body is made of a plastic polymer substance, much like a typical acoustic (原声的) violin.(琴颈和指板采用光滑的ABS塑料印制,为音乐家提供舒适的握感,而小提琴的琴身则由塑料聚合物材料制成,很像典型的原声小提琴。)”讲述了琴颈和指板、琴身分别使用的材料,C项“这把小提琴是用3D打印技术由两部分制成的。”引出下文,选项中的“two pieces”对应下文中的“The neck and fingerboard”和“the violin’s body”。故选C。 19.前文“The outcome is a violin that sounds darker and softer than traditionally built violins.(结果是一把比传统制造的小提琴听起来更暗、更柔和的小提琴。)”讲述了用3D技术打印出来的小提琴与常规小提琴之间的区别,此处应承接上文,讲述二者的其他差别,A项“此外,AVIVA小提琴比传统的木制小提琴更不易损坏。”符合题意。故选A。 20.前文“Violins are not the only instruments that are produced through 3D-printing technology.(小提琴并不是唯一通过3D打印技术生产的乐器。)”提到用3D打印技术生产的乐器并不止小提琴,空处应承接上文,讲述有其他乐器被打印,F项“之前有许多乐器都是用3D打印机生产过。”符合题意。故选F。 Passage 5 (2024-2025学年高二上·河南郑州·开学考试) How to become a successful poet Poems are little machines made of words. lf you want to make them go, it'll take some work.
