B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍西瓜科技公司开展的西瓜项目。 【56题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The Watermelon Science Hall in Xinjiang attracts students from other cities to learn about the melon culture during study tours. They can also learn from local farmers how to grow watermelon in greenhouses.”可知，新疆西瓜科学馆吸引了来自其他城市的学生在游学期间了解瓜文化，他们还可以向当地农民学习如何在温室里种植西瓜，所以划线部分指代的是上文中的“students from other cities”。故选A。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Besides growing delicious watermelons, the company also organizes Melon and Vegetable Culture Festival to popularize watermelon culture.”以及第三段中的“We are trying to attract university students from Xinjiang to return to their hometowns to work.”可知，该公司启动了西瓜项目，旨在让西瓜文化在全国范围内流行起来，并吸引大学生回到家乡。故选C。 【58题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“I’ve combined what I’ve learned in school with practice here”可知，此处指把在学校学到的东西和在这里的实践结合起来，所以划线部分的含义是“结合”，与D项意思相近。故选D。 【59题详解】 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“I studied agriculture (农业) in university and I’ve combined what I’ve learned in school with practice here. I’ve successfully grown watermelons on my own this year and also guide about 20 local farmers how to plant the melons,”可知，uhalqa Sidik把在学校学到的知识和在这里的实践相结合，今年自己成功地种植了西瓜，还指导了大约20名当地农民如何种植西瓜，所以Buhalqa Sidik应该认为这个项目是有意义和有价值的。故选D。 【60题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍西瓜科技公司开展的西瓜项目。故选B。 C “On the very first day of 2024, I saw the snows of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa,” said Xu Zhuoyuan, a 17-year-old mountain climber from Hunan. She even stood on top of Mount Qomolangma last May, making her the youngest Chinese girl to climb to the world’s highest peak (山峰). Xu’s mountaineering journey began on a family trip four years ago. Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt amazed at its beauty and decided to try climbing it. After that, she fell in love with mountaineering. For the next few years, Xu did hard training. She went to the mountains in Yunnan and Sichuan every month, climbing peaks over 5, 000 meters and doing daily physical exercises like running and swimming. All that hard work got her ready for the big challenges in climbing Kilimanjaro. Above 4, 000 meters on Mount Kilimanjaro, the climate (气候) is similar to a desert. During seven days, Xu had to face unpredictable weather such as rain and strong winds. Staying warm and avoiding heat loss were the main challenges. Xu had to keep an eye on the temperature and change her clothes when the temperature changed. ★ She was climbing with Xia Boyu, the first Chinese climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma with a prosthetic (假肢的) leg. “Every time I felt like giving up, I would be encouraged by Xia. He was almost 74 years old, but was still keeping on even though having bloodied legs from his prosthesis,” Xu said. Looking ahead, Xu has set great goals for herself. She plans to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents (大陆) and visit the North and South Poles by the time she’s 18. That’s her “7+2 program”. 61. Which places in the following pictures can describe Xu’s experience? A. a, b B. b, c C. c, d D. a, d 62. What made Xu start her mountaineering journey? A. Her knowledge about Mount Qomolangma. B. Her climbing in Mount Siguniang. C. Her parents’ support for climbing. D. Her love for physical exercises, 63. The biggest difficulty in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was ________. A. searching for food and water B. communicating with teammates. C. big temperature differences D. the fear of heights 64. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. It was also a learning experience for Xu. B. Climbing alone was even harder. C. Xu decided to give up. D. That’s not the worst. 65. What can we learn from Xu? A. Don’t take the shortcut. B. Be careful when climbing. C. Protect the beauty of nature. D. Never stop challenging yourself. 【答案】61. B 62. B 63. C 64. A 65. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了17岁的湖南女孩徐卓媛的登山经历和她的目标。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“On the very first day of 2024, I saw the snows of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa”和最后一句“She even stood on top of Mount Qomolangma last May, making her the youngest Chinese girl to climb to the world’s highest peak.”可知，徐卓媛曾登上乞力马扎罗山和珠穆朗玛峰。题目中的图片分别是长城、乞力玛扎罗山脉、珠穆朗玛峰、埃菲尔铁塔。故选B。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Xu’s mountaineering journey began on a family trip four years ago. Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt amazed at its beauty and decided to try climbing it.”可知，徐卓媛在四年前的一次家庭旅行中，路过四川的四姑娘山时，被其美景所震撼，决定尝试攀登。因此，是四姑娘山的攀登经历让她开始了登山之旅。故选B。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第三句“Staying warm and avoiding heat loss were the main challenges.”可知，在乞力马扎罗山，保持温暖和避免热量损失是主要挑战，所以最大的困难是温差大。故选C。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Every time I felt like giving up, I would be encouraged by Xia. He was almost 74 years old, but was still keeping on even though having bloodied legs from his prosthesis,”可知，每次徐卓媛想要放弃时，都会被夏伯渝鼓励。这段经历对徐卓媛来说是一次学习的经历。故选A。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Looking ahead, Xu has set great goals for herself. She plans to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents and visit the North and South Poles by the time she’s 18.”可知，徐卓媛为自己设定了伟大的目标，她计划在18岁之前攀登七大洲的最高峰，并访问北极和南极。这表明徐卓媛是一个不断挑战自己的人，从不停止追求更高的目标。因此，我们可以从徐卓媛身上学到的是永远不要停止挑战自己。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共35分) 五、词与短语填空 (共5 小题，每小题 2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。 (提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。) set / history / help / give up / better / punish / put up International Volunteer Day (IVD) is a day to learn the spirit of volunteers.

She even stood on top of Mount Qomolangma last May, making her the youngest Chinese girl to climb to the world’s highest peak (山峰). Xu’s mountaineering journey began on a family trip four years ago. Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt amazed at its beauty and decided to try climbing it. After that, she fell in love with mountaineering. For the next few years, Xu did hard training. She went to the mountains in Yunnan and Sichuan every month, climbing peaks over 5, 000 meters and doing daily physical exercises like running and swimming. All that hard work got her ready for the big challenges in climbing Kilimanjaro. Above 4, 000 meters on Mount Kilimanjaro, the climate (气候) is similar to a desert. During seven days, Xu had to face unpredictable weather such as rain and strong winds. Staying warm and avoiding heat loss were the main challenges. Xu had to keep an eye on the temperature and change her clothes when the temperature changed. ★ She was climbing with Xia Boyu, the first Chinese climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma with a prosthetic (假肢的) leg. “Every time I felt like giving up, I would be encouraged by Xia. He was almost 74 years old, but was still keeping on even though having bloodied legs from his prosthesis,” Xu said. Looking ahead, Xu has set great goals for herself. She plans to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents (大陆) and visit the North and South Poles by the time she’s 18. That’s her “7+2 program”. 61.
