New experiences. Interesting people. Read about other people’s exciting travels around the world with these three books. Is That Bike Diesel, Mate?: One man, one bike and the first Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil by Paul Carter There are lots of ways to travel around Australia. You could do it by plane, train or car. But author Paul Carter decided to tour the country on a homemade motorcycle that runs on cooking oil. Why? the author worked in the oil industry for many years, and was keen to explore alternative fuels. So, he bought the unusual bike from a group of Australian university students (who had built it themselves)and set off. On route, he has lots of amusing experiences. He almost dies in a crash and he even attempts to break the land speed record for a motorbike running . You Are Awful (But I Like You) Travels Through Unloved Britain by Tim Moore Travel writers usually go to the best destinations. But not Tim Moore. In the book, Tim travels to the worst places in the UK. Follow him as he heads to “the bleakest towns, the worst hotels and the scariest pubs”. And to make matters worse, he does it in the middle of winter. “My primary challenge was to have a good time in places that everyone had said I wouldn’t,” said the author. And he does meet lots of quirky characters and discovers that even Britain’s ugliest parts have an inner beauty. Coasting: A Private Voyage by Jonathan Raban In 1982, author Jonathan Raban bought a boat and navigated Britain. And this is the book about his adventure. Along the way he gets caught in a few storms, explores seaside towns and even takes his aging parents along for part of the journey. Raban also uses his time at sea to think about how 1980s Britain is changing under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. 1. What is special of Paul Carter’s travel? A. He breaks the land speed record. B. He uses an unconventional fuel. C. His aging parents accompanies him. D. His motorcycle almost dies in a crash. 2. What challenge does TimMoore face while traveling in the UK? A. Searching for alternative fuels. B. Surviving heavy storms at sea. C. Enduring the freezing cold in winter. D. Enjoying himself in unattractive places. 3. What do the three books have in common? A. They share practical travel advice for tourists. B. They compare different modes of transportation. C. They explore unique and challenging travel experiences. D. They offer alternative fuel sources and their applications. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是三本关于其他人激动人心的独特的环球旅行的书籍。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Is That Bike Diesel, Mate?: One man, one bike and the first Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil by Paul Carter部分的“There are lots of ways to travel around Australia. You could do it by plane, train or car. But author Paul Carter decided to tour the country on a homemade motorcycle that runs on cooking oil.(在澳大利亚有很多种旅行方式。你可以乘飞机、火车或汽车去。但作家保罗·卡特决定骑一辆用食用油驱动的自制摩托车环游这个国家。)”可知，作家保罗·卡特不是使用一辆用食用油驱动的自制摩托车环游，由此可知，保罗·卡特旅行的特别之处在于他使用一种非常规燃料旅行的。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据You Are Awful (But I Like You) Travels Through Unloved Britain by Tim Moore部分的“Follow him as he heads to “the bleakest towns, the worst hotels and the scariest pubs”. And to make matters worse, he does it in the middle of winter. “My primary challenge was to have a good time in places that everyone had said I wouldn’t,” said the author.(跟随他前往“最荒凉的城镇，最糟糕的酒店和最可怕的酒吧”。更糟糕的是，他还在大冬天这么做。“我的主要挑战是在每个人都说我不会去的地方玩得开心，”作者说。)”可知，Tim Moore在最糟糕的天气里去最糟糕的目的地旅行，去人们认为他玩的不会开心的地方寻求快乐，由此可知，Tim Moore在英国旅行时遇到的挑战是在没有吸引力的地方自得其乐。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段“Adventure. New experiences. Interesting people. Read about other people’s exciting travels around the world with these three books.(冒险。新体验。有趣的人。阅读这三本书，了解其他人令人兴奋的世界旅行。)”以及对三本与冒险、新体验和有趣的人相关的书中介绍的独特的世界旅行可知，这三本书的共同点是他们探索独特而富有挑战性的旅行体验。故选C项。 B In a small coastal community in Ecuador known as La Isla, I was handing out clothes and toys to children standing in a long line in their schoolyard. They had gathered there that morning, likely wearing the only clothes they owned. They were quiet and polite, eyes bright with excitement. Watching this, my mind flashed back to a day I would never forget. I was five years old that Christmas Eve in 1988, growing up in Ecuador, with my parents and elder sister. My father came into my bedroom and gave me a plastic cowboy. I’d never owned a real toy of any kind. My family didn’t have much. My mom stayed home, caring for my sister and me. My dad drove a food delivery truck and was on the road for days at a time. “I hope you like your toy,” my father said, kneeling down and holding me close. I felt the warmth of his body, as if in giving me this toy he was also giving me a part of himself. Even at age five, I knew that had been a gift. By sixth grade our family moved to the US, and life got easier. I did really well in high school. Every good grade was a thank-you to my parents for all they’d done for me. I went on to college, and after graduation, with my degree in hand, I became a pharmacist (药剂). I was finally able to buy nice gifts for my family, but I could never give in equal measure the love I’d felt from that unexpected gift I’d received as a little boy. I wished every child could know that feeling. Two years into my career, I made my first trip to La Isla. Two years later, I returned with my nonprofit (非盈利) organization called Toys for Ecuador. My parents, sister and I traveled to towns across rural Ecuador with Christmas presents for children and gift baskets for seniors. It was a journey that not only fulfilled a childhood wish to share that special feeling of love and generosity, but also reaffirmed (重申) my commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. 4. What reminded the author of his childhood story? A. The scene of children’s receiving gifts. B. The Christmas celebration. C. The children’s happy school life. D. The preparation of Christmas gifts. 5. Which words can best describe the author’s father? A. Thankful and positive B. Outgoing and romantic. C. Responsible and confident D. Hardworking and caring. 6. How did the author repay his parents? A. By satisfying their wish to make him a pharmacist. B. By improving his academic achievements. C. By buying them some unexpected gifts. D. By setting up a nonprofit organization. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Toys for Ecuador Gave Children Christmas Gifts B. Father’s Gift Pushed a Boy to Succeed Academically C. Father’s Love Never Left Boyhood Memories Behind D. A Plastic Cowboy Inspired Toys for Ecuador 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者在厄瓜多尔一个社区给孩子们分发礼物时，孩子们收礼物的场景让作者回忆起自己童年时的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They were quiet and polite, eyes bright with excitement. Watching this, my mind flashed back to a day I would never forget. (他们安静而有礼貌，眼睛里闪烁着兴奋的光芒。看着这一幕，我的脑海里闪回了我永远不会忘记的一天。)”可知，孩子们很安静，很有礼貌，眼睛里充满了兴奋，这一幕使得作者的脑海里闪过一个他永远不会忘记的日子，由此可知，看到孩子们收礼物的场景，作者想起来自己童年时的故事。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“My dad drove a food delivery truck and was on the road for days at a time. (我爸爸开着一辆送餐车，每次都在路上跑好几天。)”可知，作者父亲开着一辆送餐车，一连几天都在路上。由此推断父亲工作很勤劳；结合第三段中的““I hope you like your toy,” my father said, kneeling down and holding me close. I felt the warmth of his body, as if in giving me this toy he was also giving me a part of himself. (“我希望你喜欢你的玩具，”父亲说着，跪下来紧紧地抱着我。我感觉到他身体的温暖，仿佛在给我这个玩具的同时，他也给了我他自己的一部分。)”可知，父亲跪下来紧紧地抱着作者，作者感觉到就好像父亲给他这个玩具的同时，也把自己的一部分给了他，由此推知父亲很会关心人，综合以上信息可知，父亲是一个工作努力并且会关心人的人。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I did really well in high school. Every good grade was a thank-you to my parents for all they’d done for me. (我高中成绩很好。每一个好成绩都是对父母为我所做的一切的感谢。)”可知，作者在高中表现出色，每一次好成绩都是对父母为自己所做一切的感谢，由此可知，作者通过努力学习提高学习成绩来回报父母。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“They were quiet and polite, eyes bright with excitement. Watching this, my mind flashed back to a day I would never forget. (他们安静而有礼貌，眼睛里闪烁着兴奋的光芒。看着这一幕，我的脑海里闪回了我永远不会忘记的一天。)”可知，文章开篇点明作者在Ecuador一个海边社区为孩子们发放礼物，结合下文作者回忆自己童年时收到父亲的礼物——一个塑料牛仔，珍惜教育机会，用优异成绩回报父母，最后学有所成，创建了非盈利组织“Toys for Ecuadora”的故事，所以题目“A Plastic Cowboy Inspired Toys for Ecuador (以塑料牛仔为启发的“Toys for Ecuador”)”与文章内容吻合，且引出了本文作者回忆过去的经历，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。 C China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence and facial recognition systems. A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify (识别) people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process (过程) involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said. The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a ”multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second. “When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified, ” said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%. However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is graunchy,” Huang said. People were reacting differently to the new technology. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to decrease crime and catch criminals. 8. What did the company do to build the system? A. They gathered many face images. B. They employed hundreds of people. C. They used the latest technology. D. They spent about a decade (十年) building it. 9. According to the passage, which of the following can be true? A. The new system has already been used by the police. B. The recognition rate of masked faces is about 99.5%. C. It’s hard to recognize people with masks and sunglasses. D. The single channel product is as powerful as the multi-channel. 10. What does the underlined word “graunchy” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Difficult. B. Suitable. C. Normal. D. Different. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show people’s attitudes toward the system. B. To introduce a new facial recognition system. C. To advertise two products of facial recognition. D. To show the advantages of facial recognition. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是中国一家公司开发的一个能够有效识别戴口罩的人的面部识别系统。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The process (过程) involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.(该公司表示，这个过程包括增加大约600万张未戴面具的脸和一个小得多的戴面具的脸)”可知，这个过程包括增加大约600万张未戴面具的脸和小得多的戴面具的脸。由此可知，该公司收集了许多人脸图像来构建这个系统。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%.(他补充说，该系统对不戴口罩的人的成功率约为99.5%)”可知，对不戴口罩的人的识别成功率是99.5% ，所以B项错误；根据第三段中的“One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings.(其中一个执行“单通道”识别，设计用于建筑物的入口)”和第四段中的“The other product is a ”multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second.(另一种产品是一种“多通道”识别系统，使用多组监控摄像头。它可以在一秒钟内从多达30人的人群中识别个人)”可知，文中提到“单通道”识别和“多通道”识别，但是未说明两种效果相同，所以D项错误，A选项“The new system has already been used by the police.(新系统已经被警方使用)”未提及，所以A项错误；根据第三段中的“However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses.(然而，新系统很难识别既戴口罩又戴太阳镜的人)”可知，新系统很难识别既戴口罩又戴太阳镜的人，所以C选项“It’s hard to recognize people with masks and sunglasses.(戴着面具和太阳镜的人很难认出来)”内容正确。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses.(然而，新系统很难识别既戴口罩又戴太阳镜的人)”以及“In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost.(在这种情况下，所有关键的面部信息都丢失了)”可知，在既戴口罩又戴太阳镜的情况下，所有关键信息都丢了，新系统很难识别。由此可知，划线单词的意思与“困难”意义相近。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify (识别) people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.(一家中国公司表示，他们发明了一种新的面部识别系统，即使人们戴着口罩也能识别。这家总部位于北京的公司的工程师表示，他们的系统是第一个能够有效识别戴口罩的人的系统)”可知文章主要介绍的是中国一家公司开发的一个能够有效识别戴口罩的人的面部识别系统。由此推知，本文的主要目的是介绍一种新的人脸识别系统。故选B项。 D There have been many studies that show being in nature is good for your health. Walking in the woods is good for your well-being (健康). Living near trees can help you live longer. But when you go for a walk in the woods, what makes you feel good? Is it the sights or smells or sounds? A new study finds it might be the birds you hear while you have a walk. Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed (分析) how much the natural sounds people hear when they’re outdoors influence well-being. They found that the “chorus (合唱)” of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas. For the study, researchers put 10 hidden, evenly spaced (等间距的) speakers (扬声器) on two parts of trails (小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. The researchers take turns to play the birdsong for a few hours a day for a week, and then turned off the speakers for a week at a time. They interviewed hikers after they passed through the areas with the speakers. “The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong,” Biology Professor Clinton Franeis, who led the research, says. Hikers who heard more birdsong on the first part of the trail said they felt better. Those who heard more birdsong on the second part reported that they thought more birds lived along that part of the trail. This feeling of more birds helps make the hikers feel better. “With the chorus, we were able to show that natural sounds have a clear influence on the quality of hikers’ experiences,” says Francis. 12. What’s the function (功能) of the questions in paragraph 1? A. To doubt the research done before. B. To advise people to walk in nature. C. To call on people to protect nature. D. To introduce the topic of the text. 13. Why were the speakers put along the trails? A. To attract more people to the forest. B. To remind hikers of their health. C. To play sounds of different birds. D. To hunt more birds for research. 14. What was the final step of the research? A. Comparing. B. Placing speakers. C. Playing birdsong. D. Interviewing. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Being in nature is good for people’s heath. B. Hearing birdsong is good for people’s health. C. Walking in forests help people live longer. D. Raising birds improves people’s living quality. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究分析了人们在户外听到的自然声音对健康的影响程度，发现鸟鸣增加了远足者的幸福感。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But when you go for a walk in the woods, what makes you feel good? Is it the sights or smells or sounds? A new study finds it might be the birds you hear while you have a walk. (但当你在树林里散步时，什么会让你感觉很好？是景色、气味还是声音？一项新的研究发现，这可能是你散步时听到的鸟叫声)”可知，作者先提出两个问题，然后说明问题的答案可能是散步时听到的鸟叫声，转入对研究的具体介绍。由此推知，问题的功能是引入文章的话题。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“For the study, researchers put 10 hidden, evenly spaced (等间距的) speakers (扬声器) on two parts of trails (小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. (在这项研究中，研究人员在科罗拉多州博尔德露天场所和山地公园的两条小径上放置了10个隐藏的、均匀间隔的扬声器。他们播放了11种鸟类的歌曲录音)”可知，在小径上放置扬声器是为了播放不同鸟类的声音。故选C项。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，在该研究中研究人员的第一步是放置扬声器，第二步是播放鸟鸣，第三步是采访远足者，再结合第四段中的“The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong (主要结果是，听到鸟鸣的远足者比没有听到鸟鸣的远足者表现出更高的幸福感)”可推知，在得出结果之前，他们需要进行最后一步：比较远足者的采访感受。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“They found that the “chorus (合唱)” of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas. (他们发现，鸟类的“合唱”增加了在自然保护区中的幸福感)”可知，文章介绍了一项分析人们在户外听到的自然声音对健康影响程度的研究，该研究发现鸟鸣增加了远足者的幸福感。因此，B项“听鸟鸣对人的健康有益”符合文章大意，适合作为标题。故选B项。 第二节 阅读七选五 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls; what matters is how you tackle each situation.

B In a small coastal community in Ecuador known as La Isla, I was handing out clothes and toys to children standing in a long line in their schoolyard. They had gathered there that morning, likely wearing the only clothes they owned. They were quiet and polite, eyes bright with excitement. Watching this, my mind flashed back to a day I would never forget. I was five years old that Christmas Eve in 1988, growing up in Ecuador, with my parents and elder sister. My father came into my bedroom and gave me a plastic cowboy. I’d never owned a real toy of any kind. My family didn’t have much. My mom stayed home, caring for my sister and me. My dad drove a food delivery truck and was on the road for days at a time. “I hope you like your toy,” my father said, kneeling down and holding me close. I felt the warmth of his body, as if in giving me this toy he was also giving me a part of himself. Even at age five, I knew that had been a gift. By sixth grade our family moved to the US, and life got easier. I did really well in high school. Every good grade was a thank-you to my parents for all they’d done for me. I went on to college, and after graduation, with my degree in hand, I became a pharmacist (药剂). I was finally able to buy nice gifts for my family, but I could never give in equal measure the love I’d felt from that unexpected gift I’d received as a little boy. I wished every child could know that feeling. Two years into my career, I made my first trip to La Isla. Two years later, I returned with my nonprofit (非盈利) organization called Toys for Ecuador. My parents, sister and I traveled to towns across rural Ecuador with Christmas presents for children and gift baskets for seniors. It was a journey that not only fulfilled a childhood wish to share that special feeling of love and generosity, but also reaffirmed (重申) my commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. 4.

Father’s Love Never Left Boyhood Memories Behind D. A Plastic Cowboy Inspired Toys for Ecuador C China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence and facial recognition systems. A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify (识别) people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process (过程) involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said. The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a ”multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second. “When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified, ” said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%. However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is graunchy,” Huang said. People were reacting differently to the new technology. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to decrease crime and catch criminals. 8. What did the company do to build the system? A. They gathered many face images. B. They employed hundreds of people. C. They used the latest technology. D. They spent about a decade (十年) building it. 9. According to the passage, which of the following can be true? A. The new system has already been used by the police. B. The recognition rate of masked faces is about 99.5%. C. It’s hard to recognize people with masks and sunglasses. D. The single channel product is as powerful as the multi-channel. 10. What does the underlined word “graunchy” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Difficult. B. Suitable. C. Normal. D. Different. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show people’s attitudes toward the system. B. To introduce a new facial recognition system. C. To advertise two products of facial recognition. D. To show the advantages of facial recognition. D There have been many studies that show being in nature is good for your health. Walking in the woods is good for your well-being (健康). Living near trees can help you live longer. But when you go for a walk in the woods, what makes you feel good? Is it the sights or smells or sounds? A new study finds it might be the birds you hear while you have a walk. Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed (分析) how much the natural sounds people hear when they’re outdoors influence well-being. They found that the “chorus (合唱)” of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas. For the study, researchers put 10 hidden, evenly spaced (等间距的) speakers (扬声器) on two parts of trails (小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. The researchers take turns to play the birdsong for a few hours a day for a week, and then turned off the speakers for a week at a time. They interviewed hikers after they passed through the areas with the speakers. “The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong,” Biology Professor Clinton Franeis, who led the research, says. Hikers who heard more birdsong on the first part of the trail said they felt better.
