《2025年新八省新高考英语满分通关练》 专题27【汇编】新八省期中阅读理解新闻报道通关16篇 （满分攻略+八省名校模拟）解析版 （山西、河南、陕西、内蒙古、四川、云南、宁夏、青海） ( 新闻报道 满分 作答解题 妙招 ) 一、新闻报道类阅读理解思维导图 2、 新闻报道类阅读理解语篇特点 近年来，英美国家主流媒体已经成为全国各省市高考阅读理解命题文章的主流题源，如《时代》、《科学美国人》、《洛杉矶时报》、《卫报》等。命题文章话题涵盖广泛，有关于政治经济的时文报道，有社会生活中发生的大小事件，还有个人成长的经历趣闻。新闻类语篇在写作手法上遵循的原则是“keep it short and simple”，简称KISS原则。高考所选取的新闻类文章主要采取“导语（lead）——主体（body）——结尾（end）”的结构模式。新闻类语篇有以下几个特点： 1.主题明确突出 新闻类文章的内容围绕某个新闻事件或人物展开，文章主题经常会出现在导语部分。导语一般是文章第一或第一、二段，用简明生动的语言将新闻最具价值、最新鲜的内容或典型例子放在开头，引出文章主题。导语部分通常能全部或部分回答who、what、when、where、why、how等问题。正文主要是对导语部分所提供的主题信息的相关细节进行解释和深化，此部分以记叙或者说明为主。结尾再一次总结中心思想，以强调、启发、或号召等方式结束，也有的新闻文章没有明显的结束语。 2.信息准确客观 新闻报道强调客观性，一般以第三人称为主，客观报道事实、描述事件或陈述观点。所提供的细节信息，如时间、人物、地点、因果等都有明确的出处或来源。作者一般不表达自己的观点，而是通过引语，包括直接和间接引语，来陈述相关人士的态度和观点。 3.语言简洁风趣 新闻类语篇既要做到观点明确，又要做到表达有力和叙述生动，因此十分讲究语言的趣味性，用浓缩的语言表达丰富的内容。用词平实易懂，精炼简洁。 三、新闻报道类阅读理解解题策略 1.浏览文章，判断文体考 生在做阅读理解题时一定要有“文体意识”，即结合文章体裁的文体特征，紧扣主旨理解文章。具体到新闻类文体，首先通过新闻独有的语篇特征，如导语、信息源等，判断是否是新闻类语篇。然后，根据文章结构特点和题型特点可以去文章相应部分寻找答案，这样可以节约时间、有的放矢。例如：文章主旨、写作意图题一般对应文章导语部分。 2.利用导语，掌握核心 导语往往包括了新闻最具价值的内容，与主旨密切相关，是对新闻事件本质、新闻人物的突出特点和社会现象背后的原因等最凝练的概括，是写作意图题、主旨大意题的重要判断依据。例如：2020全国高考III卷C篇，探讨了英国社会中由于多方压力，一家人几代同堂的现状。第31题“What is the text mainly about?”就是导语的侧面考查。通过结合下文的例子和数据分析，我们知道这种选择多是同住一室的家庭越来越多，因此全文讲述的是人们居住方式的一种新的趋势。 3.深入细节，定位分析 细节判断题是新闻类语篇的主要考查题型，做题时考生要有“题目意识”，即由题干关键词把握命题意图和答题要点，解题时多使用“同义转换”或者“综合归纳”两种方法。多数情况下，选项会对原文信息进行同义转换，即原文信息的另外一种表达。相反，选项中如果出现了原文出现过的词句，应当引起警觉，谨防受到“偷梁换柱”的迷惑干扰。有时候细节散落在多个句子，或者在不同段落中都有提到，考生应该分析事件之间的关联、人物与事件的关联、社会现象背后的原因和结果的关联等等，进行综合归纳。如果是以记叙为主，则需要抓住“何人、何时、何为、何因、何果”几要素，这几大要素也是题目的着眼点。4. 结合主旨，理解引语 引语是新闻类文章中的点睛之笔，用来体现作者或者文中相关方面的态度、观点，用来佐证支撑主旨。在答题时要有“语境意识”，即联系文章主旨和上下文语境分析判断作者的写作意图或者说话人的情感态度。 ( 新八省期中 名校 模拟试题 ) 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道01】（24-25高三上·宁夏·阶段练习） China ups rectification of ‘fan circle’ culture which distorts minors’ values, endangers social governance China’s cyberspace regulator on Friday enhanced rectification with specific measures over the sick parts of “fan circle” culture in the entertainment industry, tackling the long- controversial moves by teenage fans that blindly idolize celebrities, excessively spend money on their “idols,” and exclude others, as distorted values within the circles have also bred cyberbullying and illegal fund raising. Some fans who engage in frequent verbal abuse with supporters of other celebrities, or blindly defending their scandal-ridden idols have recently prompted heated criticism online against such fandom culture, which is feared to pose a great danger to the development of the young generation and the mainstream values, ideological security and social governance. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) published a notice on Friday on its website asking provincial offices to heighten the efforts to rectify the fan circle chaos and make entertainment- related platforms perform their duties to war d off irrational idol worshipping. The CAC specified 10 measures, urging enhanced sense of urgency to improve the fan circle culture to safeguard online political and ideological security, and supervise the plat forms to implement the measures. The measures include cancelling all ranking lists of entertainments, barring forums that pick fights and lead to chaos, and requesting agencies to better guide fan groups. Before Friday’s notice, the CAC in mid-June and July have launched campaigns targeting sick fan circles culture that adversely affected adolescence. The CAC on Friday also published a draft set of rules on algorithm services, urging transparency and authenticity of statistics and data be put to good use. Observers believed the draft also serves to cleanse the entertainment industry given the reality of platforms and idol agencies colluding to manipulate rankings. On August 6, China’s major social media platform Weibo announced the removal of the “star power list,” where fans spent large amounts of time, money and energy to keep their idols on a higher position. Search engines Baidu and 360 also shelved their similar lists of “stars influencers.” Weibo has been deleteing verbal abuse posts and publishing information of account suspensions weekly since June to tackle verbal abuse and rumors concerning fan circles. In recent weeks, dozens of mobile phone apps that can be used for fan fundraising, tracking idols’ activities and lifting idol’s rankings on different lists were removed from app stores. The enhanced measures on fan circles come alongside the punishment of wrongdoing entertainers, including a 299 million yuan ($46.27 million) fine on actress Zheng Shuang for tax fraud, as China is determined to cleanse the industry of bad influences. 1．What is the main purpose of this article?

The robot dog, which is currently being field-tested, is able to navigate (导航) its physical environment via cameras and sensors, including recognizing traffic light signals, which traditional guide dogs are unable to do. Roughly the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, it can communicate by listening and speaking with a visually impaired operator with AI-technology integrated in its voice recognition, route planning capabilities and traffic light recognition. It also has six legs, which the researchers say help it walk smoothly and with maximum stability. Married couple Li Fei, 41, and Zhu Sibin, 42, are among the visually impaired people helping the Jiao Tong University team test the robot using Chinese-language commands. “If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone,” Li said. Robot guide dogs are under development in other countries, including Australia and Britain, but China has a critical shortage of traditional guide dogs. “In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people,” said Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at Jiao Tong University’s School of Mechanical Engineering in Shanghai. There might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs. Unlike those dogs, which will always be limited in supply due to the natural limitations of breeding and the intense training required, Gao said the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China. “It’s a bit like cars. I can mass-produce them in the same way as cars, so it will become more affordable,” Gao said. 1．Why does the author mention “traffic light signals” in paragraph 2? A. To predict traffic rules in the future. B. To demonstrate the function of the robot dog. C. To stress the importance of obeying traffic rules. D. To show the advantage of traditional guide dogs. 2. What do we know about the Chinese robot guide dog? A. It has four legs. B. It is hard to keep stable. C. It has passed the field test. D. It is wider than an English Bulldog. 3. What is Li Fei’s attitude to the robot dog? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 4. What do the last two paragraphs try to tell us? A. It is easy to train traditional guide dogs. B. China has enough traditional guide dogs. C. Robot guide dogs will have a big market. D. Professor Gao wants to mass-produce cars. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国科学家发明的机器人导盲犬。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The robot dog, which is currently being field-tested, is able to navigate (导航) its physical environment via cameras and sensors, including recognizing traffic light signals, which traditional guide dogs are unable to do.(这只机器狗目前正在接受实地测试，它能够通过摄像头和传感器在物理环境中导航，包括识别交通灯信号，这是传统导盲犬无法做到的)”可知，作者提到“交通信号灯”是为了说明机器人导盲犬不同于传统导盲犬的功能。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Roughly the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, it can communicate by listening and speaking with a visually impaired operator with AI-technology integrated in its voice recognition, route planning capabilities and traffic light recognition.(它的大小和英国斗牛犬差不多，但比斗牛犬宽一点，它可以通过语音识别、路线规划和红绿灯识别等人工智能技术，与视力受损的操作员进行交流)”可知，中国机器人导盲犬比英国斗牛犬的体型宽一些。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据第四段Li Fei提到的“If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone(如果这只机器导盲犬上市，我可以使用它，至少它可以解决我独自旅行的一些问题)”可推断，李飞对机器人导盲犬的态度是“支持的”。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people(在中国，只有400多只导盲犬为近2000万盲人服务)”和最后一段“There might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs. Unlike those dogs, which will always be limited in supply due to the natural limitations of breeding and the intense training required, Gao said the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China.(世界上可能有数以千万计的人需要导盲犬。由于繁殖的自然限制和需要的高强度训练，这些狗的供应总是有限的，高说，机器人导盲犬的生产是可以规模化的，特别是在中国这样的主要制造业中心)”可知，最后两段主要提到传统导盲犬存在不足，而机器人导盲犬可以在制造上规模化，从而解决导盲犬短缺的问题，因此机器人导盲犬具有很大的市场前景。故选C。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道03】（24-25高三上·内蒙古锡林郭勒盟·期中）Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (Tex Net). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 1. How does the AI forecast earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings. D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 2. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 3. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 4. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了利用人工智能预测地震的新方法，该方法在试验中展现出较高的准确性，为地震预测领域带来了希望。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.(经过训练后，人工智能通过在地球的背景隆隆声中监听即将到来的地震迹象来提供预测。)”可知，人工智能通过分析地球上的背景隆隆声来预测地震。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据第三段“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction.(这项工作显然是人工智能驱动地震预测研究的一个里程碑。)”以及“It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.(这只是几毫秒的问题，你唯一能控制的就是你的准备程度。即使有70%的准确率，这也是一个巨大的结果，可以帮助最大限度地减少经济和人员损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。)”可知，本段中，Alexandros Savvaidis打算展示的是发展人工智能预测地震的意义。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据第四段“The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能，因为德克萨斯大学的Bureau Tex Net拥有300个地震台站和超过六年的连续记录，使其成为实现这些目的的理想地点。)”可知，后续研究的重点是在德克萨斯州的不同地点测试人工智能。故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据第三段“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction.(这项工作显然是人工智能驱动地震预测研究的一个里程碑。)”以及第四段“While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks.(虽然尚不清楚同样的方法是否适用于其他地点，但研究人员相信，如果在具有可靠地震跟踪网络的地区使用，他们的人工智能算法可以产生更准确的预测。)”可知，这项工作是一个里程碑，人工智能算法可以产生更准确的预测，由此可知地震预测技术是开创性的，并且发展前景是充满希望的。故选D。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道04】（24-25高二上·四川绵阳·阶段练习）Profits at Netflix have increased as the world’s largest streaming (在线播放) service added millions of subscribers (订户).

Profits at Netflix rose 15% to $9.4bn (£7.7bn) in the three months to 31 March. Net income (净收入) jumped 79% to $2.3bn over the same period. Netflix pioneered the streaming revolution. Hollywood’s established giants, from Disney to Warner Bros, are still struggling to catch up and turn a profit on their own competitor digital services. A growth in subscribers early in the pandemic paused in 2022 as limits were lifted. But shares in Netflix have increased over the past two years as it shored up growth by forbidding password-sharing and introducing a cheaper level of its service, with advertisements. Netflix has also broadened to live events, including coverage of World Wrestling Entertainment, and videogaming. In a letter to investors on Wednesday night, the company announced it would stop reporting how many members it has from next year. As it has regained momentum (发展势头) following its post-pandemic growth struggles, Netflix has been trying to direct Wall Street’s focus away from its subscriber growth numbers， arguing that other financial things including sales were more important. Forecasting sales growth of up to 15% this year, the company said to achieve “healthy” long-term growth it will need to “improve the variety and quality” of movies, shows and games on its platform; make it easier for users to find new series; and build its ad-funded level into a “more meaningful contributor” to its business. 1. What do we know about Netflix? A. Its net income jumped 15% to $2. 3bn. B. It has 9. 3 million subscribers in the world. C. Its profits rose by $9. 4bn in the first quarter. D.

Its shares dropped 2% yesterday after falling by almost a third. 3. Why does the company plan to stop reporting how many subscribers it has? A. It has reported wrong numbers in the past years. B. It is addicted to videogaming and hurting its users. C. It lost so many users in the first 3 months worldwide. D. It wants to highlight its more important financial parts. 4. What will Netflix do according to the last paragraph? A. It will improve the variety and quality of their products. B. It wants to make it easier to find more new profits. C. It has to make sales grow up to 15% during this quarter. D. It intends to achieve unhealthy long term growth. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 4. A 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Netflix在2024年初的订户和利润增长情况，以及其未来的财务报告策略调整。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Profits at Netflix have increased as the world’s largest streaming service added millions of subscribers.(随着全球最大的流媒体服务Netflix增加了数百万用户，其利润也有所增加)”可知，Netflix是全球最大的流媒体服务公司。故选D。 2. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“The entertainment giant added 9.3 million new viewers in the latest quarter — more than expected by analysts on Wall Street—leaving it with a record 269.6 million worldwide.(这家娱乐巨头在最近一个季度增加了930万新观众，超过了华尔街分析师的预期，使其全球观众人数达到创纪录的2.696亿)”以及第四段的“Profits at Netflix rose 15% to $9.4bn (£7.7bn) in the three months to 31 March. Net income(净收入)jumped 79% to $2.3bn over the same period.(截至3月31日的三个月里，Netflix的利润增长了15%，达到94亿美元（77亿英镑）。同期，净收入增长79%，达到23亿美元)”可推知，Netflix在2024年第一季度增加了更多的订户和利润，所以公司说有一个好的开局。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“As it has regained momentum following its post-pandemic growth struggles, Netflix has been trying to direct Wall Street’s focus away from its subscriber growth numbers, arguing that other financial things including sales were more important.(随着Netflix在疫情后的增长困境中重新获得动力，它一直试图将华尔街的注意力从其用户增长数字上转移开，认为包括销售在内的其他财务问题更重要)”可知，Netflix计划停止报告订户数量是因为它想强调其他更重要的财务部分。故选D。 4. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Forecasting sales growth of up to 15% this year, the company said to achieve “healthy” long-term growth it will need to “improve the variety and quality” of movies, shows and games on its platform;(该公司预测今年的销售额增长率将高达15%，并表示要实现“健康”的长期增长，需要在其平台上“提高电影、节目和游戏的种类和质量)”可知，Netflix将会改善其产品的种类和质量。故选A。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道05】（24-25高三上·四川·开学考试）Inside Baiduren, which looks by outward appearances like a cafe, relatives of the dead can tell the staff stories that they may not be able to share with friends and family for any number of reasons. “Our job initially was funeral planning and handling related affairs for customers,” said Shi Xiaolin, leader of what Badiruen calls the “life experiencing project”. “After a few years, we felt that we wanted to make a breakthrough in the industry because there are still so many prejudices about funeral homes,” he explained. That was obvious from the start. Shi and his team had difficulty finding a landlord willing to rent to a funeral parlor (殡仪馆) . In the end, the site they found was in Hongkou District, a me re 10- minute walk from Baoxing Funeral Parlor, one of the largest undertakers in Shanghai. The Baiduren salon is decorated in a modern style, with soft lighting that contrasts with traditional funeral homes. “Apart from those who want to pour their hearts out, we also receive families who want to discuss funeral affairs in a more relaxed, comforting environment,” Shi told Shanghai Daily. The Baiduren salon looks like a common cafe, but many people come here to pour out their hearts about their perceptions of life and death. The salon has been more popular than the team expected since its soft opening in late February. In the past month, the team has listened to a lot of stories — from survivors who can’t seem to accept the loss of a loved one, to survivors still in shock over a death that occurred by accident. In turn, staff often relate their own stories of sorrow. The salon, from the standpoint of both staff and customers, points to a change in how people — especially the young — view death and funerals. And Baiduren is not the only example of young people determined to make a difference in the funeral business. 1. What difficulty did Shi Xiaolin meet at first? A. He couldn’t find employees. B. No one would rent sites to him. C. The relatives of the dead doubted him. D. He lacked money to decorate the parlor. 2. What is people’s attitude toward the Baiduren salon? A. They accept the new trend. B. They show no interest in it. C. They hold a wait- and- see attitude. D. They feel it shows no respect to the dead. 3. Which words can be used to describe Shi Xiaolin? A. Honest and reliable. B. Warm- hearted and humble. C. Considerate and creative. D. Diligent and responsible. 4. What will be talked about next? A. The future of the Baiduren salon. B.

Shi and his team had difficulty finding a landlord willing to rent to a funeral parlor.(从一开始就很明显。 Shi和他的团队很难找到愿意把房子租给殡仪馆的房东)”可知，Shi一开始遇到的困难是没人愿意把场地租给他。故选B项。 2. 推理判断题。根据第六段“The Baiduren salon looks like a common cafe, but many people come here to pour out their hearts about their perceptions of life and death. The salon has been more popular than the team expected since its soft opening in late February.(摆渡人沙龙看起来像是一家普通的咖啡馆，但很多人来到这里，倾诉他们对生死的感悟。自2月底试营业以来，这家沙龙比团队预期的更受欢迎)”可知，这家沙龙比团队预期的更受欢迎，说明人们接受了这个新的趋势。故选A项。 3. 推理判断题。根据第二段““Our job initially was funeral planning and handling related affairs for customers,” said Shi Xiaolin, leader of what Badiruen calls the “life experiencing project”. “After a few years, we felt that we wanted to make a breakthrough in the industry because there are still so many prejudices about funeral homes,” he explained.(“我们的工作最初是为客户策划葬礼以及处理相关事宜，”摆渡人“生命体验项目”负责人石小林说道。“几年后，我们觉得我们想在这个行业做出一些突破，因为人们对殡仪馆仍然存在很多偏见，”他解释道)”以及第四段“The Baiduren salon is decorated in a modern style, with soft lighting that contrasts with traditional funeral homes.(摆渡人沙龙的装饰风格现代，柔和的灯光与传统殡仪馆形成鲜明对比)”可知，创办人想到为死者家属提供倾听和情绪服务，并把沙龙装饰成现代风格，和传统殡葬馆形成鲜明的对比，这说明他是有头脑、有创意并且能够体贴他人的人。故选C项。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The salon, from the standpoint of both staff and customers, points to a change in how people—especially the young—view death and funerals. And Baiduren is not the only example of young people determined to make a difference in the funeral business.(从员工和客户的角度来看，沙龙反映了人们——尤其是年轻人——对死亡和葬礼看法的转变。而摆渡人并不是唯一一个决心在殡葬行业做出改变的年轻人的例子)”可知，接下来作者会介绍其他从事殡葬服务行业的年轻人。故选B项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道06】（24-25高三上·四川成都·开学考试）For years, Egyptologists have hotly debated how the massive pyramids (金字塔) of ancient Egypt (埃及) were built more than 4,000 years ago. Now, a team of engineers and geologists brings a new theory to the table—a water lift device that would have floated the heavy stones up through the middle of Egypt’s oldest pyramid using stored water. Ancient Egyptians built the Step Pyramid for Pharaoh Djoser in the 27th century BC, and it was the tallest structure at the time, coming in at about 62 meters tall. But how exactly the structure was erected, with a number of stones weighing in at 300 kilograms, has remained a centuries-old mystery, according to the study published Monday in the journal PLOS One. “Many detailed publications have discussed pyramid-building procedures and provided real examples, but these usually focus on more recent, better-documented, and smaller pyramids of the Middle and New Kingdoms (1,980 to 1,075 BC),” said lead author Dr. Xavier Landreau, CEO of Paleotechnic, a privately owned research institute in Paris that studies ancient technologies. “The techniques involved could include ramps (活动坡道), cranes (起重机), or a combination of these methods,” he added in an email. “But what about the Old Kingdom pyramids (2,675 to 2,130 BC), which are much bigger? While human strength and ramps may be the only construction force for small structures, other techniques may have been used for large pyramids.” Using a combined approach, the new paper was the first to report a system matching the Step Pyramid’s internal architecture, the authors wrote. A complex water treatment system drawing upon local resources could have created a water-powered elevator within the pyramid’s internal vertical passage. Some type of float would have raised the heavy stones up the middle of the pyramid, according to the study. 1. What does the underlined word “erected” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Changed. B. Designed. C. Built. D. Destroyed. 2. Which may play a role in building small pyramids according to Dr. Landreau? A. People and ramps. B. Ramps and cranes. C. People and cranes. D. Water and ramps. 3. What is the main advantage of the water lift device in building pyramids? A. It simplifies the use of ramps. B. It helps to make heavy stones raised. C. It increases the weight of the stones. D. It uses some resources for treatment. 4. What is the best title for the text? A. Water Lift Theory: A New View on Pyramid Construction B. Recent Researches on the Stories of Egypt’s Small Pyramid C. A Historical Debate: Egypt’s Pyramid Construction Secrets D. Exploring Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Construction Mysteries 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. A 【导语】本文是新闻报道。这篇文章报道了一项新的研究发现，即关于古埃及金字塔建造方式的新理论。 1. 词句猜测题。根据后文“with a number of stones weighing in at 300 kilograms, has remained a centuries-old mystery, according to the study published Monday in the journal PLOS One.(根据周一发表在《公共科学图书馆·综合》(PLOS One)杂志上的一项研究，这座由重达300公斤的石头组成的建筑，仍然是一个数百年来的谜)”可知，用重达300公斤的石头应是建造建筑，推知erected应是“建造”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第四段““The techniques involved could include ramps (活动坡道), cranes (起重机), or a combination of these methods,” he added in an email. “But what about the Old Kingdom pyramids (2,675 to 2,130 BC), which are much bigger? While human strength and ramps may be the only construction force for small structures, other techniques may have been used for large pyramids.”(“所涉及的技术可能包括活动坡道、起重机，或这些方法的组合，”他在一封电子邮件中补充道，“但是，对于更大的古王国时期金字塔（公元前2675年至公元前2130年）来说呢？虽然人力和活动坡道可能是小型建筑唯一的施工力量，但大型金字塔可能采用了其他技术。”)”可知，人力和坡道可能在建造小金字塔中起作用。故选A项。 3. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“A complex water treatment system drawing upon local resources could have created a water-powered elevator within the pyramid’s internal vertical passage. Some type of float would have raised the heavy stones up the middle of the pyramid, according to the study.(根据研究，利用当地资源建立一个复杂的水处理系统，可以在金字塔内部的垂直通道内创建一个水动升降机。某种类型的漂浮物可以将沉重的石块提升到金字塔的中部)”可知，水升装置的主要优势在于它帮助提升重石。故选B项。 4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For years, Egyptologists have hotly debated how the massive pyramids (金字塔) of ancient Egypt (埃及) were built more than 4,000 years ago. Now, a team of engineers and geologists brings a new theory to the table—a water lift device that would have floated the heavy stones up through the middle of Egypt’s oldest pyramid using stored water.(多年来，埃及学家们一直在激烈争论4000多年前的古埃及巨大金字塔是如何建造的。现在，一组工程师和地质学家提出了一个新的理论，即一种水利升降设备，利用储存的水将沉重的石块通过埃及最古老的金字塔中部浮起)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种新的金字塔建造理论，即利用水升装置来提升重石，因此最佳标题是A项“Water Lift Theory: A New View on Pyramid Construction(水举理论：金字塔建设的新视角)”。故选A项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道07】（24-25高三上·四川·开学考试）The world’s first jet- suit (喷气服) race, organized by Gravity Industries, a UK-based tech company that specializes in high-powered jet-suits, took place around the Dubai Marina this week with racers wearing Iron Man-esque technology rushing around, hoping to first cross the finishing line. All went smoothly, aside from a minor mess- up by Emirati pilot Ahmed al-Shehhi, who reportedly crashed into the water during his heat. Fortunately, he quickly rose to the water surface and gave a thumbs-up before being picked up by a rescue crew. Inspired by F1 technology, the suits feature five gas turbines (涡轮机) fitted on the arms and back, capable of generating over 1, 000 horsepower. This allows the racer to pick up speeds of up to128 kilometers per hour. The suits can typically stay in air for just 3 minutes, although it’s possible to fly for over 7 minutes if conditions are ideal. If the suits remind you of a certain billionaire superhero, you’re not alone. It seems that the founder of Gravity Industries also drew some inspiration from the Marvel Universe. “The closest comparison would be that dream of flying. . . and then go wherever your mind is taking you,” Richard Browning, the founder and chief test pilot, said after the race. “And yes, the world of Marvel superheroes and DC Comics, they have created that dream book, and we are the people who are the closest to realizing that for real,” Browning added. Understandably, the technology doesn’t come cheap. If you fancy getting your hands on a custom- made jet-suit from Gravity Industries, expect a price tag of at least £380, 000. It isn’t all fun and games, though. Gravity Industries has previously demonstrated that their jetpacks could be used by rescue teams to reach dangerous mountain areas. They’ve also suggested it could be used by police forces to hunt down criminals on the run. 1. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. The definition of horsepower. B. The features of F1 technology. C. The conditions of using jet- suits. D. The introduction of the jet- suits. 2. How did Richard Browning feel after the race? A. Confident. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Concerned. 3. What can we know about the new technology of Gravity Industries? A. It has its medical value. B. It is affordable for everyone. C. It can be used in rescue work. D. It has been adopted by the police. 4. What is the aim of this passage? A. To compare. B. To entertain. C. To inform. D. To persuade. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 4.

However, Riley Schlick, a high school senior in Florida, rebuilds them for a tidy profit. Once a vital piece of equipment for cars, carburetors adjust the air- fuel mixture for internal combustion engines (内燃机). In its simplest form, a carburetor takes in air from one end and forces it through a narrow section that causes the air to speed up and the pressure to drop. As a result, the falling pressure creates a vacuum that draws in air and fuel through another hole in the side, which gathers dirt and generates performance problems. Chemical carburetor cleaners sometimes address the issues, but not the way a full rebuild can. That’s where Schlick’s Bradenton- based business Riley’s Rebuilds comes in. Schlick learned how to do the work from her dad, Dane Trask, who rebuilds classic cars as a hobby. He showed her how to do it, and also made use of some online instructional videos. “She picked it up easily,” he said. Schlick and her staff — her school friends Dagny, Katie, Amelia, and Elaine — unbox a carburetor that arrives in the mail and first document its basic information such as origin and model number before they get the device ready to break down. The team soda blasts (强速喷射) the body to remove the dirt and dust and then blows it to clear any remaining soda bits.“ We use soda blasting instead of sand or glass because it’s gentler. And the soda doesn’t get stuck in the carburetors,” Schick said. Once the dirt is gone, they dry the carburetor thoroughly and put it back together. Riley’s Rebuilds charges $145 and up to rebuild a carburetor and send it back to its owner. On average, the team works on 20 or more carburetors a week. Carburetors look complicated and difficult, but actually they are not. From a business standpoint, it is a growing market for Schlick and for younger kids. 1. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the features of a full rebuild. B. To stress the limitations of chemical cleaners. C. To introduce the working principle of carburetors. D. To highlight the significance of Riley’s Rebuilds. 2. What do we know about Schlick from paragraph 3? A. She is quick to learn. B. She runs a family business. C. She enjoys surfing online. D. She is really into classic cars. 3. Why does the team use soda as the cleaning material? A. It’s carburetor-friendly. B. It’s custom-tailored. C. It’s readily available. D. It’s cost-effective. 4. Which of the following can best describe Schlick’s business? A. Flexible and sustainable. B. Fruitful and promising. C. Competitive but profitable. D. Demanding but manageable. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. A 4. B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一个高中女生Riley Schlick如何通过重建汽车化油器来赚取可观的利润，并详细介绍了她如何学习这项技能、她的工作流程以及这项业务的盈利情况。 1. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In its simplest form, a carburetor takes in air from one end and forces it through a narrow section that causes the air to speed up and the pressure to drop. As a result, the falling pressure creates a vacuum that draws in air and fuel through another hole in the side, which gathers dirt and generates performance problems.(最简单的形式是，化油器从一端吸入空气，迫使它通过一个狭窄的部分，使空气加速，压力下降。因此，下降的压力产生了真空，空气和燃料通过侧面的另一个洞被吸进来，这个洞聚集了灰尘，产生了性能问题。)”可知，本段详细解释了化油器最基本的工作原理，即如何调节空气和燃料的混合比例。因此，该段的主要目的是介绍化油器的工作原理。故选C。 2. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Schlick learned how to do the work from her dad, Dane Trask, who rebuilds classic cars as a hobby. He showed her how to do it, and also made use of some online instructional videos.“ She picked it up easily,” he said.( Schlick从父亲Dane Trask那里学会了如何做这项工作，他的父亲把重建老爷车作为一种爱好。他教她怎么做，还利用了一些网上的教学视频。“她很容易就学会了，”他说。)”可知，从第三段中我们知道Schlick是从她爸爸Dane Trask那里学到如何重建化油器的，而她的爸爸认为她很容易就学会了，由此可知Schlick是一个学习速度很快的人。故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段““ We use soda blasting instead of sand or glass because it’s gentler. And the soda doesn’t get stuck in the carburetors,” Schick said.(“我们使用苏打水喷射而不是沙子或玻璃，因为它更温和。而且苏打水不会卡在化油器里，”Schick说。)”可知，团队使用苏打作为清洁材料是因为它对化油器更友好，不会卡在化油器里。故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Carburetors look complicated and difficult, but actually they are not. From a business standpoint, it is a growing market for Schlick and for younger kids.(化油器看起来很复杂，但实际上并非如此。从商业角度来看，这对Schlick和年幼的孩子来说是一个不断增长的市场。)”可知，从商业角度来看，Schlick的业务（重建化油器）是一个不断增长的市场，对Schlick和年轻的孩子来说都是有前景的。因此，可以用选项B“fruitful and promising（有成果且有前途的）”来形容她的业务。故选B。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道09】（24-25高三上·云南德宏·阶段练习）More than 30,000 people worldwide are found to have brain tumors (肿瘤) each year. While treatment has improved over the last few decades, recurrence (复发) remains a risk. And the unpredictable timing of tumors returning makes them difficult to detect early. Luckily, scientists are developing the world’s first finger-prick (扎) test to spot brain tumors to pick up sign of return. The work is being led by a team at Nottingham Trent University, funded by the Medical Research Council. The scientists believe that the simple finger-prick test would improve the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world. It could also significantly lessen the burden on health care systems by reducing the need for MRI scans and by providing a cost-effective alternative to some clinic appointments. “Patients often have follow-up MRI scans every three to six months, but a quick test to detect brain cancer could make it possible to efficiently test recurrence every week, so that more recurrent tumors are caught early at a more treatable stage,” says Dr Ola Rominiyi, one of the lead scientists.“ Additionally, the tests could actually help guide the best time to perform MRI scans for each individual patient. Over time, this might lead to a more personalized approach to MRI scanning and some patients needing to have MRI scans slightly less frequently.” Moving forward, the research team plans to seek the next stage of funding and start the trial stage in2025. Therefore, scientists believe that the earliest the test could become commercially available—considering regulatory approvals, etc.— would be 2026 or 2027. “It’s hard to imagine a medical technology so widely understood and used. This tech would provide regular and affordable treatment for patients at home in an easy-to-use way. We hope the work could be applied to other types of cancer, too, potentially helping to save millions of lives,” says Wilson, another scientist of the team. 1. What problem does the finger-prick test try to solve about brain tumors? A. Their too quick growth. B. The growing confirmed cases. C. Their high death rate. D. The uncertain return. 2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The difference between MRI and the test. B. The advantages of the finger-prick test. C. The research team’s expectation of the test. D. The guide to using the finger-prick test. 3. What can be inferred about the finger-prick test? A. It has received enough financial support. B. It has been approved by the government. C. It may take time before going to the market. D. It may meet different technology challenges. 4. What will the researchers’ future study most probably focus on? A. New treatments for brain tumors. B. More clinic trials about the test. C. Cost reduction about the test. D. The test’s application to other cancers. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 4. D 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了医学研究领域的新突破。幸运的是，科学家们正在开发世界上第一个手指刺破测试，以发现脑肿瘤的复发迹象。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Luckily, scientists are developing the world’s first finger-prick (扎) test to spot brain tumors to pick up sign of return.(幸运的是，科学家们正在开发世界上第一个手指刺破测试，以发现脑肿瘤的复发迹象)”可知，脑肿瘤手术后仍然有复发风险，科学家正在研发的扎手指的检测方法就是为了用简易方法检测出不确定的脑肿瘤的复发。故选D项。 2. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Patients often have follow-up MRI scans every three to six months, but a quick test to detect brain cancer could make it possible to efficiently test recurrence every week, so that more recurrent tumors are caught early at a more treatable stage(患者通常每三到六个月进行一次后续核磁共振扫描，但检测脑癌的快速测试可以每周有效地检测复发，这样就可以在更可治疗的阶段早期发现更多复发肿瘤)”及“Additionally, the tests could actually help guide the best time to perform MRI scans for each individual patient. Over time, this might lead to a more personalized approach to MRI scanning and some patients needing to have MRI scans slightly less frequently.(此外，这些测试实际上可以帮助指导对每个病人进行核磁共振扫描的最佳时间。随着时间的推移，这可能会导致更个性化的核磁共振扫描方法，一些患者需要进行核磁共振扫描的频率会稍微降低)”可知，本段科学家解释了这种新的检测方法的优势，操作简单可以每周检测，尽早发现肿瘤的复发，又减少了做核磁共振扫描的频率。故选B项。 3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Moving forward, the research team plans to seek the next stage of funding and start the trial stage in2025. Therefore, scientists believe that the earliest the test could become commercially available—considering regulatory approvals, etc.— would be 2026 or 2027.(展望未来，研究小组计划寻求下一阶段的经费资助，并在2025年开始试验阶段。因此，科学家们认为，考虑到监管部门的批准等因素，这种测试最早可能在2026年或2027年实现商业化)”可推测，这种检测方式目前还不能投入市场，还需要一些时间。故选C项。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We hope the work could be applied to other types of cancer, too, potentially helping to save millions of lives (我们希望这项工作也能应用于其他类型的癌症，可能有助于挽救数百万人的生命)”可推测，接下来科研人员将会继续研究使用这种方法去检测其他癌症术后的复发。故选D项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道10】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）China’s Chang’e 6 probe returned on Earth with rock and soil samples from the little- explored far side of the moon in a global first. The probe landed in the Inner Mongolian region in northern China on Tuesday afternoon. “I now declare that the Chang’e 6 Lunar Exploration Mission achieved complete success,” Zhang Kejian, director of the China National Space Administration, said in a televised news conference after the landing. Chinese scientists anticipate the returned samples will include 2.5 million-year-old volcanic rock and other material that scientists hope will answer questions about geographic differences on the moon’s two sides. The near side is what is seen from Earth, and the far side faces outer space. The far side is also known to have mountains and impact craters (坑), contrasting with the relatively flat expanses visible on the near side. The probe had landed in the moon’s South Pole — Aitken Basin, an impact crater created more than 4 billion years ago. The samples scientists are expecting will likely come from different layers of the basin, which will bear traces of the different geological events across its long chronology (年表), such as when the moon was younger and had an active inside that could produce volcanic rock. China in recent years has launched multiple successful missions to the moon, collecting samples from the moon’s near side with the Chang’e 5probe previously. They are also hoping that the probe will return with material that bears traces of meteorite (陨石) strikes from the moon’s past. That material could shed light on the solar system’s early days. There’s a theory that the moon acted as a vacuum (真空) cleaner of sorts, attracting all the meteorites in the system’s earlier era so that they didn’t hit Earth, said Richard de Grijs, who is also executive director at the International Space Science Institute. 1. What makes Chang’e 6’s mission unique in lunar exploration history? A. Landing on the moon’s South Pole. B. Confirming lunar water presence. C. Collecting the moon’s far-side samples. D. Returning samples from the near side. 2. What may distinguish the moon’s far side from its near side? A. Fewer craters. B. Earth visibility. C. Rough lands. D. Plains dominance. 3. What might the Chang’e 6’s samples help to know? A. Lunar internal activity. B. Origin of the moon. C. Moon’s formation timeline. D. Earth’s impact on the moon. 4. What role might the moon have played in the early solar system according to Richard de Grijs? A. Creating the solar system. B. Causing meteorites to form. C. Attracting meteorites for study. D. Protecting Earth from meteorites. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A 4.

There’s even a solid case to be made that completely autonomous vehicles (AVs) will never take over everyday travel. Regardless, some urban planners are already looking into ensuring how such a future could be as safe and efficient. According to a team at North Carolina State University, one solution may be changing the more-than-century-old design of traffic signals. The ubiquity (普遍性) of stop lights’ Red-Yellow-Green phases aren’t just coincidence (巧合). Dating back to 1931, this has served drivers pretty well since then, but the NC State team argues AVs could eventually create the opportunity for better road conditions. Or, at the very least, could benefit from some basic adjustments. Last year, researchers led by environmental engineering associate professor Ali Hajbabaie created a computer model for city commuting (通勤) patterns which indicated everyday driving could one day actually improve from a sizable pour of AVs. By sharing their massive amounts of real-time sensor information with one another, Hajbabaie and colleagues believe these vehicles could in theory coordinate (使协调) far beyond simple crossroads changes to adjust variables like speed and break times. To further make the best use of these benefits, they put forward the introduction of a fourth, “white” light to traffic signals. In this model, the “white” phase activates(激活)whenever enough interconnected AVs approach a crossroad. Once lit, the phase indicates nearby drivers should simply follow the car (AV or human) in front of them, instead of trying to anticipate something like a yellow light’s transition time to red. Additionally, such inter-connectivity could communicate with traffic signal systems to determine when it is best for “Walk” and “Do-Not-Walk” pedestrian (行人) signals. Based on their modelling, it appeared that such a change could reduce crossroads jam by at least 40 percent compared to current traffic system optimization software. In doing so, this could improve overall travel times, fuel efficiency, and safety. 1. What can we learn about completely autonomous vehicles (AVs)? A. They have settled traffic jam problems. B. They have become popular in urban areas. C. They will take the place of other vehicles. D. They may not be widely used in the future. 2. What does the “white” light do? A. It tells drivers to stop. B. It helps drivers avoid traffic jams. C. It allows drivers to go through crossroads faster. D. It makes it easier for pedestrians to cross the street. 3. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea of a fourth “white” light? A. Neutral. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 4. What is probably the text? A. A news report. B. A research paper. C. A commercial ad. D. A science fiction. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自动驾驶汽车(AVs)的现状以及未来可能的发展趋势，并提出了改变交通信号灯设计以提高交通效率和安全性的建议。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“There’s even a solid case to be made that completely autonomous vehicles (AVs) will never take over everyday travel.( 甚至有充分的理由证明，完全自动驾驶汽车(AVs)永远不会取代日常出行)”可知，完全自动驾驶汽车可能在未来不会得到广泛应用。故选D项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“To further make the best use of these benefits, they put forward the introduction of a fourth, “white” light to traffic signals. In this model, the “white” phase activates (激活) whenever enough interconnected AVs approach a crossroad.(为了进一步充分利用这些好处，他们提出在交通信号中引入第四种“白色”灯。在这个模型中，只要有足够多的相互连接的自动驾驶汽车接近十字路口，“白灯”阶段就会激活。)”和“Based on their modelling, it appeared that such a change could reduce crossroads jam by at least 40 percent compared to current traffic system optimization software. (根据他们的模型，与当前的交通系统优化软件相比，这样的变化似乎可以减少至少40%的十字路口拥堵)”可知，“白”灯的作用是帮助减少交通拥堵，使驾驶员避免交通堵塞。故选B项。 3. 推理判断题。根据第四段中对第四种“白色”灯的详细描述和“Based on their modelling, it appeared that such a change could reduce crossroads jam by at least 40 percent compared to current traffic system optimization software. In doing so, this could improve overall travel times, fuel efficiency, and safety.(根据他们的模型，与目前的交通系统优化软件相比，这样的改变似乎可以减少至少40%的十字路口拥堵。这样做，可以改善整体旅行时间，燃油效率和安全性)”可以推知，作者对引入第四种“白色”灯的想法是支持的。故选D项。 4. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Regardless, some urban planners are already looking into ensuring how such a future could be as safe and efficient. According to a team at North Carolina State University, one solution may be changing the more-than-century-old design of traffic signals.(无论如何，一些城市规划者已经在研究如何确保这样的未来同样安全高效。据北卡罗来纳州立大学的一个研究小组称，解决方案之一可能是改变已有一百多年历史的交通信号灯设计)”和下文内容可知，主要介绍了自动驾驶汽车的现状、未来发展趋势以及改变交通信号灯设计的建议，这些内容更符合新闻报道的特点，而不是研究论文、商业广告或科幻小说。故选A项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道12】（24-25高三上·山西运城·开学考试）CHRISTMAS 2020 was shaping up to be a heartbreaker for Melanie Lee. A few weeks earlier, her 33- year- old son had lost his battle with a long illness. Then the transmission (变速器) on her2007 car broke down. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed. “When it broke down, I broke down,” Lee told CNN. “Now I don’t have my baby, now I don’t have transportation. How am I supposed to stay active in my grandchildren’s lives?” Eliot Middleton, 38, the owner of a barbecue restaurant and former auto mechanic who, in his free time, repairs and gives away used cars. He’d heard about Lee’s difficulty from her nephew Frank McClary. On Christmas morning, Middleton showed up at Lee’s home with a gift: a white1993 Oldsmobile. “He handed me the keys and didn’t ask for anything.” said Lee. Once again, she’s able to pick up her granddaughters from school and take them to dance class. The idea for the used- car giveaway came to Middleton a year earlier during a food drive he’d organized. Many of those who’d lined up for a meal walked up to four miles because they didn’t have cars. Cars are a lifeline in this part of South Carolina, Middleton told CBS. “There’s no public transportation, no Ubers, no taxis to take people to job interviews, doctor appointments, even food shopping. So he posted on Facebook an offer to trade his restaurant’s specialty, barbecued ribs (烤排骨), for broken- down vehicles. Since then, friends and strangers have dropped off more than100 cars in various states of disrepair. “People think Eliot is an angel,” Mayor McClary told the Washington Post. “And I do too.” 1. What happened to Lee around Christmas 2020? A. Her car was lost. B. The Christmas upset her. C. Her son was seriously ill. D. She suffered misfortunes. 2. In what way did Middleton help Lee? A. He gave away a car to Lee. B. He sold a second- hand car to Lee. C. He invited Lee to eat in his restaurant. D. He picked up Lee’s grandchildren from school. 3. How did Middleton get so many second- hand cars? A. By posting an offer for car donation. B. By exchanging his food with car owners. C. By cooking best- selling food in his restaurant. D. By buying abandoned cars and repairing them. 4. What can be the best title for this story? A. Kindness on Auto B. Trade Cars for Food C. Heartbreaker or Angel D. Freedom Guaranteed by Cars 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要报道的是烧烤店老板米德尔顿用他餐馆的特色菜烧烤排骨换来二手车，然后赠送给那些需要的人。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“CHRISTMAS 2020 was shaping up to be a heartbreaker for Melanie Lee. A few weeks earlier, her 33- year- old son had lost his battle with a long illness. Then the transmission(变速器)on her2007 car broke down. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed.(对梅兰妮·李来说，2020年圣诞节将是一个令人心碎的日子。几个星期前，她33岁的儿子在与长期疾病的斗争中失败了。然后，她2007年的那辆车的变速箱坏了。她没有钱请人修。)”可知，2020年圣诞节前后，李经历了失去儿子和汽车出故障等多种不幸。故选D项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“On Christmas morning, Middleton showed up at Lee’s home with a gift: a white1993 Oldsmobile.(圣诞节的早晨，米德尔顿带着一份礼物出现在李的家中:一辆1993年的白色奥兹莫比尔。)”和第四段的句子““He handed me the keys and didn’t ask for anything.” said Lee. Once again, she’s able to pick up her granddaughters from school and take them to dance class.(“他把钥匙递给我，没有要求任何东西。”李说。再一次，她能够从学校接她的孙女，带她们去上舞蹈课。)”可知，米德尔顿赠送了一辆汽车给李。故选A项。 3. 细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“So he posted on Facebook an offer to trade his restaurant’s specialty, barbecued ribs, for broken-down vehicles.

The real-life elephants of the sculptures are personally known to The Coexistence Collective — the community of around 200 artists in southern India who made them. The sculptures can be seen in Newport, Rhode Island through early September. From there they will head to New York City, Miami, the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana and finally Los Angeles. The organization is planning to sell the elephants off to raise funds for 22 conservation organizations around the country as the tour progresses. Organizers said 30 sculptures had already been sold off, with prices ranging from $8,000 for a baby elephant to $22,000 for an adult. In Newport, the profit will go to Save the Bay, which works to remove foreign grasses from local wetlands in order to restore the habitats for the birds there. The enormous life-like sculptures are made out of lantana — a tough foreign grass that’s been encroaching upon the elephants’ natural forest habitat, pushing the animals onto tea and coffee farms where their coexistence with humans has become a genuine challenge. “Lantana has displaced animals across huge areas in India, because it takes over from herbs and bushes that are food for animals,” said Tarsh Thekaekara, a wildlife conservationist specializing in human-elephant relations. “40 to 50% of many Indian parks are taken over by it.” Tarsh Thekaekara also hopes that visitors will learn more about how important it is for animals and humans to negotiate shared space, as more places become uninhabitable for both owing to direct human destruction and the impacts of human-caused climate change. 1. What can we learn about the exhibition? A. Its first stop will be in New York City. B. It includes 100 real elephants from India. C. The sculptures will be sold at the same price D. All the exhibits are based on identified elephants. 2. The underlined phrase “encroaching upon” in paragraph 4 can be understood as ________. A. restoring B. damaging C. dividing D. restricting 3. What is Tarsh Thekaekara mainly worried about according to paragraph 5? A. Public parks in India. B. Impacts of climate change. C. A harmful foreign grass. D. Human-elephant coexistence. 4. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A guidebook to an exhibition. C. An advertisement. D. An introduction to an organization. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 4. A 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一个展示印度大象雕塑的展览，目的是提高保护意识，筹集资金，并解决人象共存的问题。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The real-life elephants of the sculptures are personally known to The Coexistence Collective — the community of around 200 artists in southern India who made them.(这些雕塑所代表的真实大象是南部印度约200名艺术家组成的“The Coexistence Collective”社区成员们所熟悉的)”可知，这些雕塑的原型是The Coexistence Collective社区中认识的真实大象。故选D。 2. 词句猜测题。根据划线单词后面“pushing the animals onto tea and coffee farms where their coexistence with humans has become a genuine challenge(这使得动物们进入茶田和咖啡种植园，在那里它们与人类的共存成为了一个真正的挑战)”以及文章第五段““Lantana has displaced animals across huge areas in India, because it takes over from herbs and bushes that are food for animals,” said Tarsh Thekaekara, a wildlife conservationist specializing in human-elephant relations(野生动物保护主义者塔什·特卡卡拉（Tarsh Thekaekara）说：“Lantana在印度的大片区域内取代了动物们的食草和灌木，因为它占据了原本作为动物食物的草本植物和灌木。”)”可知，Lantana取代了动物的食物，破坏了它们的栖息地。所以“encroaching upon”意为“破坏”。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章第五段““Lantana has displaced animals across huge areas in India, because it takes over from herbs and bushes that are food for animals,” said Tarsh Thekaekara, a wildlife conservationist specializing in human-elephant relations. “40 to 50% of many Indian parks are taken over by it.”(野生动物保护主义者塔什·特卡卡拉（Tarsh Thekaekara）说：“Lantana在印度的大片区域内取代了动物们的食草和灌木，因为它占据了原本作为动物食物的草本植物和灌木。印度许多公园的40%到50%都被它占据了。”)”可知，Tarsh Thekaekara主要担心的是一种外来草类植物Lantana。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。通读全文，以及第一段“Visitors will be able to get close to — and even touch — 100 life-size sculptures of Indian elephants which are beginning a cross-country journey that aims to raise awareness about conservation.(游客将能够接近甚至触摸到100个真人大小的印度象雕塑，这些雕塑正在开始一场旨在提高保护意识的越野之旅)”可知，本文介绍了一个关于大象雕塑的展览及其背后的环保意义，最有可能出自新闻报道。故选A。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道14】（24-25高三上·江西·开学考试）In Cedars, Pennsylvania, a cafe is giving disabled people with different abilities and their families a safe and inclusive space to shine. Created in 2022, the cafe was a response to the need in the community for programs that would enable youth with special needs to develop social and professional skills in a safe environment. The cafe was the idea of Pennsylvania mom Maureen Stanko, a teacher, fitness instructor, and musician, who was concerned about her son Nick, who has autism (孤独症) and food allergies, and what he would be able to do after graduation. In Pennsylvania, students with disabilities can stay in school until age 22, but worrying about Nick’s future is what keeps Stanko up at night. Stanko was so worried that she spoke to Nick’s therapist, Tyler Kammerle, who had dreamed about opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. The two worked together to make this a reality. Two years later, the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe was born. It employed 63 people and 80 percent of them have some form of disability. The cafe is more than just a space to work; it’s also a place for people with disabilities and their families to dine. “We’d never even taken Nick to a restaurant before because we wouldn’t spend all this money to eat out to be completely stressed out,” Stanko said. “This cafe has taught Nick how to sit in a restaurant. And now we have a place to go, where if he stands up and starts hopping or clapping, nobody cares.” The inclusive cafe has made a real difference in people’s lives. One of the staff, Lauren Oppelts, who is hearing impaired, said, “If you told me two years ago that I would be a server, I wouldn’t believe you. But now I have gained so much self-confidence. A lot of employees here have changed so much; it’s just mind-blowing.” 1. Why did Stanko and Tyler Kammerle establish the cafe? A. To serve people with various abilities. B. To provide a place for family occasions. C. To instruct graduates in professional skills. D. To offer employment to youth with special needs. 2. What was Stanko’s concern about taking Nick to a restaurant? A. The cost of dining out. B. The noisy customers in restaurants. C. The lack of an inclusive environment. D. The food allergies Nick is suffering from. 3. How has working at the cafe affected Lauren Oppelts? A. She has taken to socializing. B. She has grown more positive. C. She has become experienced in cooking. D. She has recovered from her hearing disability. 4. Which of the following best describes Stanko? A. Caring and responsible. B. Ambitious and devoted. C. Determined and sensitive. D. Tough and reliable. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了在宾夕法尼亚州Cedars开设的一家名为“So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe”的咖啡馆，该咖啡馆旨在为具有不同能力和特殊情况的人群及其家庭提供一个包容和支持的空间，帮助他们发展社交和职业技能。 1. 细节理解题。根据首段中的“Created in 2022, the cafe was a response to the need in the community for programs that would enable youth with special needs to develop social and professional skills in a safe environment. (该咖啡馆创建于2022年，是对社区项目需求的回应，该项目将使有特殊需求的年轻人在安全的环境中发展社会和专业技能。)”可知，该咖啡馆将使有特殊需求的年轻人在安全的环境中发展社会和专业技能，由此可知，建立该咖啡馆是为有特殊需要的青年提供就业机会。故选D项。 3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““We’d never even taken Nick to a restaurant before because we wouldn’t spend all this money to eat out to be completely stressed out,” Stanko said. “This cafe has taught Nick how to sit in a restaurant. And now we have a place to go, where if he stands up and starts hopping or clapping, nobody cares.” (Stanko 说：“我们以前甚至从来没有带Nick 去过餐馆，因为我们不会花这么多钱去外面吃饭，让自己完全感到压力。”“这家咖啡馆教会了Nick 如何在餐馆里就座。现在我们有一个地方可以去，如果他站起来开始跳或鼓掌，没有人会在意。”)”可知，Stanko不带Nick去餐馆是因为不愿意让自己完全感受到压力，而在这家咖啡馆里，Nick要是跳或者鼓掌，没有人会在意，由此可推断，Stanko带Nick去餐馆是担心餐馆缺乏包容的环境。故选C项。 4. 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“One of the staff, Lauren Oppelts, who is hearing impaired, said, “If you told me two years ago that I would be a server, I wouldn’t believe you. But now I have gained so much self-confidence. A lot of employees here have changed so much; it’s just mind-blowing.” (其中一名员工劳伦·奥佩尔茨（Lauren Oppelts）有听力障碍，她说：“如果两年前你告诉我，我会成为一名服务员，我不会相信你。但是现在我获得了如此多的自信。这里的很多员工都发生了很大的变化；这真是令人兴奋。”)”可知，Lauren Oppelts认为自己现在获得了如此多的自信，由此可知，这家咖啡馆使得Lauren Oppelts变得更加积极向上。故选B项。 4. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In Pennsylvania, students with disabilities can stay in school until age 22, but worrying about Nick’s future is what keeps Stanko up at night. (在宾夕法尼亚州，残疾学生可以在学校学习到22岁，但担心Nick的未来是Stanko 夜不能寐的原因。)”可知，Stanko为自己的儿子未来担心，这使得她夜不能寐，结合第三段中的“Stanko was so worried that she spoke to Nick’s therapist, Tyler Kammerle, who had dreamed about opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. The two worked together to make this a reality. (斯坦科非常担心，于是她和尼克的治疗师泰勒·卡默勒(Tyler Kammerle)谈了谈，后者一直梦想着开一家餐馆，雇佣残疾人。两人共同努力使这成为现实。)”可知，Stanko咨询了Nick的治疗师后，他的治疗师想要开一家咖啡馆，雇佣残疾人，两人共同开设了一家咖啡馆，综合以上信息可知，Stanko是一个有爱心有责任心的人。故选A项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道15】（24-25高三上·陕西西安·开学考试）Joint News Network: Five years ago, an 8-year-old Irish girl called Becky made a phone call to a demolition (爆破) company asking them to destroy her school and, if possible, to make sure all her teachers were in there.

She also asked how much it would cost them to knock down as big an area as a ballpark. The clerks of the company burst into laughter the very moment they received the call, which seemed to annoy the girl, who questioned, “Is this a demolition company or a joke factory?” Only then did they bite their lips to keep from laughing and ask, “What for?” The girl gave them her proposal and then asked them some details of the deal. Before hanging up, she said emphatically that she would fax the company the plan of the school and her teachers’ names.       As soon as the local station broadcast the telephone recording, the sweet and cute girl turned famous overnight.

With a history of 120 years, the Goncourt Prize stands as one of the most important literary awards in France. Described as “extremely refreshing”, the book offers readers a break from a sad new cycle, according to Didier Lecoin, the jury (评委会) president of the Goncourt Prize. Philippe Claudel, another member, said it was “high-quality popular literature”. “And that is what the Goncourt is about,” he added. Watch Over Her develops as a love story between a young poor sculptor and a local noble young woman in 20th -century Italy, during the rise of fascism (法西斯主义). The account skillfully combines their story of love with explorations of Italian history and political structures. Andrea mentioned that he crafted the story of Watch Over Her because he desired to reconnect with Italy, “the country of my ancestors”, and because he firmly believed in the power of popular fiction. Andrea, a former screenwriter and director who turned to novel writing in his 40s, expressed that writing novels allowed him to rediscover the joy of writing lost in filmmaking. For him , writing is a means of taking control of his life, representing a return to his childhood passion for storytelling. While some critics suggested that Watch Over Her might challenge the traditionally elite (精英) image of the Goncourt Prize, Andrea thought differently in an interview with France Inter, stating, “I feel that today we’ve left the privilege of telling stories to cinema... as if telling a story excluded depth. But I think we can be popular and at the same time deep, and give different levels of reading to different types of readers and generations.” 1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To lead into the topic of the passage. B. To introduce a new literary award. C. To present one of the major views of the society. D. To draw readers’ attention to writing. 2. What do people think of Watch Over Her? A. It is highly thought of by all. B. It offers an escape from sorrow. C. It elevates high-quality literature. D. It provides access to science fiction. 3. Why did Andrea return to novel writing? A. He is interested in exploring storytelling methods. B. He hopes to find a sense of inner peace. C. He needs to seek further inspiration for filmmaking. D. He wants to fulfill his childhood dream. 4. What do we know about Watch Over Her? A. It is a short story set in 19th-century Italy. B. It is a historical exploration of French politics. C. It represents Andrea’s way of revisiting his roots. D. It involves a young sculptor and a poor woman. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4.

The flight was made by a spacecraft named VSS Unity that was built by Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic. The flight lasted slightly more than an hour, and took Branson and crew to an altitude (海拔) of 53.5miles above the Earth, just a little above the boundary (边界) of space which lies 50 miles above the Earth. At that height, the atmosphere turns into the black of outer space and the Earth becomes a bent ball of blue. Travelers also exhibit weightlessness as there is no gravity, the force that keeps our bodies walking on the Earth’s surface. Therefore, Branson and his fellows were able to float around in VSS Unity while enjoying the views. They were able to do that for three minutes before the spacecraft began its downward journey. It landed back at Virgin Galactic’s space port in New Mexico, United States, which is the same place from where it had taken off 90 minutes before. On landing back, Branson said, “I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly, nothing could prepare you for the view of the Earth from space. It was just magical. I’m just taking it all in, and it’s unreal.” July 11’s flight is the start of space tourism for one and all. In early 2022, customers who can afford a ticket for a quarter of a million dollars can line up for a seat on a trip to space. And guess what — they will have a choice of spacecraft. Jeff Bezos, who owns a famous company, is all set to launch himself into space on July 20 on board a spacecraft built by his new branch company Blue Origin. Blue Origin will also carry tourists to space. 1. What is Richard Branson famous for? A. His success in tourism. B. His company of Virgin Galactic. C. His spaceship named VSS Unity. D. His first commercial space travel in history. 2. What does Branson think of his space travel? A. Unbelievable. B. Adventurous. C. Regrettable. D. Worthless. 3. What do space tourists have to do? A.

Some even have cat-like faces and make cat-like sounds when you touch their heads. But are robot waiters going to be accepted in the world? Many restaurant owners think so. Li Zhai is one of them. When Zhai was having trouble finding staff for his restaurant in the summer of 2021, he bought a BellaBot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he added two more. Now, one robot leads diners to their seats while another delivers steaming noodles to tables. The third robot is used to transport dirty dishes to the kitchen. “We only need three robots to do the same volume of business that five or six people used to handle,” says Zhai, “A robot costs around $15, 000, but a person costs $5, 000 to $6, 000 per month. The robots also give human servers more time to communicate with customers, which increases tips. And customers often post videos of the robots on social media that attract others to visit.” “Eventually, a certain percentage of restaurants — maybe 30% — will continue to have human servers and be considered more luxurious, while the rest will rely more heavily on robots in the kitchen and in dining rooms,” said Dennis Reynolds, professor of the Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership. “Economics are on the side of robots. The cost of human labor will continue to rise, but technology cost will fall.” But not all have had the same success with robots. Chili’s introduced a robot server named Rita in 2020 and expanded the test to its 61 restaurants before abandoning the experiment last August. The chain found that Rita moved too slowly and got in the way of human servers. And 58% of guests surveyed said Rita didn’t improve their overall experience. “We don’t go to a restaurant to be served by technology. We go for the experience of being served by humans,” many of the diners said. 1. Why did Li Zhai decide to buy the first robot? A. He wanted to save money. B. He couldn’t find human waiters. C. Robot waiters were popular. D. His workers wanted to get more tips. 2. What is Dennis Reynolds’ prediction mainly based on? A. Customers’ ready acceptance. B. Competition in food industry. C. Costs of staffing a restaurant. D. Technological advancements. 3. What did Chili’s customers complain about concerning the robot waiters? A. Their appearances. B. The complex software. C. Their slow speech. D. The lack of personal interaction. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Are Robot Waiters the Future? B. Will Robots Replace Human Brain? C. Why Do Customers Dislike Robot Waiters? D. How Can a Restaurant Improve the Dining Experience? 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是机器人已经开始进入餐饮行业，餐馆老板、食客及专家对这种“自动化服务”的发展前景看法不一。 1. 细节理解题。根据第三段“When Zhai was having trouble finding staff for his restaurant in the summer of 2021, he bought a BellaBot from Pudu Robotics.( 2021年夏天，当Li Zhai的餐厅找不到员工时，他从普度机器人公司买了一个BellaBot。)” 可知，当Li Zhai的餐厅找不到员工时，他买了第一台机器人，由此可知，Li Zhai 是因为招不到服务员才买第一台机器人的。故选B项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Economics are on the side of robots. The cost of human labor will continue to rise, but technology cost will fall.(经济学人支持机器人。人力成本将继续上升，但技术成本将下降。)”可知，Dennis Reynolds 主要是基于成本考虑的。故选C项。 3. 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“And 58% of guests surveyed said Rita didn’t improve their overall experience.(58%的受访客人表示，Rita并没有改善他们的整体体验。)”及最后一段中的““We don’t go to a restaurant to be served by technology. We go for the experience of being served by humans,” many of the diners said.(“我们去餐厅不是为了享受科技服务。我们追求的是被人服务的体验。”)”可知，食客们去餐厅不是去体验机器人服务，而是体验人的服务，由此可推断，食客对机器人服务员不满意的是缺乏人际交流。故选D项。 4. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“But are robot waiters going to be accepted in the world?(但是机器人服务员会被世界所接受吗？)”以及下文从机器人的成本、应用场景及客人体验等方面谈机器人服务员的应用前景可知，本文主要介绍的是机器人服务员能不能成为未来发展的趋势，所以标题“机器人服务员是未来的趋势吗？”概括了本文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道19】（2024·青海西宁·三模）Against huge odds, Shikuku Ooko is fighting to save the last remaining ancient forest. When he was in his early 20s, Shikuku Ooko was deeply taken with the Afro-Alpine forests of central Kenya. So much so that he decided to buy 15 acres of woods next to Mount Kenya National Park & Reserve. More than 30 years later Mr. Ooko’s home is one of the few plots still filled with native trees and plants. In contrast, much of the national park has been heavily logged. The Mount Kenya region is remote and delicate, which makes it difficult to safeguard. Though the Kenya Forest Service has made sustainably managing all public forest plantations its second priority, the burden of conservation has fallen on the shoulders of local individuals such as Mr. Ooko. In recent years, herders (牧民) have even built animal pens within legally protected areas. “It’s a bit of an annoying sight,” Mr. Ooko says, “when foreign visitors have to pay a high fee to enter the park but then come across huge herds of sheep and cattle in the delicate environment. The laws protecting that environment are in place, but they are insufficiently enforced because rangers (护林员) at each gate are limited.”. When he’s at home in Naro Moru, Mr. Ooko advocates for tree planting, particularly among kids. “It’s something I grew up doing,” he explains. “When I was young, my dad would give all of us 10young trees to plant and take care of. Somehow, he knew the connections between trees and climate changes.” It’s a practice Mr. Ooko has kept alive despite continuous challenges with climate and cattle; it is not uncommon for sheep and cattle to destroy the young trees that he and his young friends have planted. “We just keep going,” he says. “It’s something I value, and I think we should plant more.” 1. What can we know about Mr. Ooko’s woods? A. They were purchased 20 years ago. B. They suffer from heavy logging. C. They have conserved much wildlife. D. They have been well protected. 2. Why are the laws insufficiently enforced according to Mr. Ooko? A. Because herders need to save cattle. B. Because herders need wood for fire. C. Because there are too many visitors. D. Because there aren’t enough rangers. 3. What can we infer about Mr. Ooko according to the passage? A. He never raises sheep and cattle. B. He was influenced by his father. C. He donated his woods to the park. D. He has made a fortune by planting. 4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Challenges from Climate Changes B. The Introduction to Mount Kenya Park C. The Fight to Save Mount Kenya’s Forests D. The Connection between People and Nature 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. B 4. C 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了在巨大的困难下，Shikuku Ooko正在努力拯救仅存的古老森林。 1. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“More than 30 years later Mr. Ooko’s home is one of the few plots still filled with native trees and plants.(30多年后，Ooko先生的家是为数不多的仍然种植着本地树木和植物的地块之一。)”可知，这片树林得到了很好的保护。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The laws protecting that environment are in place, but they are insufficiently enforced because rangers (护林员) at each gate are limited.(保护环境的法律已经到位，但执行力度不够，因为每个大门的护林员数量有限。)”可知，由于没有足够的护林员，这些法律的执行力度不够。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When I was young, my dad would give all of us 10 young trees to plant and take care of.( 在我小的时候，我爸爸会给我们每人10棵小树，让我们去种植和照顾。)”可知，Mr. Ooko的行为深受父亲的影响。故选B。 4. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Against huge odds, Shikuku Ooko is fighting to save the last remaining ancient forest.(在巨大的困难下，Shikuku Ooko正在努力拯救仅存的古老森林。)”可知，文章主要讲述了肯尼亚小伙子Shikuku Ooko拯救肯尼亚山森林的斗争。故选C。 试卷第2页，共45页 3 / 45 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 《2025年新八省新高考英语满分通关练》 专题27【汇编】新八省期中阅读理解新闻报道通关16篇 （满分攻略+八省名校模拟）原卷版 （山西、河南、陕西、内蒙古、四川、云南、宁夏、青海） ( 新闻报道 满分 作答解题 妙招 ) 一、新闻报道类阅读理解思维导图 2、 新闻报道类阅读理解语篇特点 近年来，英美国家主流媒体已经成为全国各省市高考阅读理解命题文章的主流题源，如《时代》、《科学美国人》、《洛杉矶时报》、《卫报》等。命题文章话题涵盖广泛，有关于政治经济的时文报道，有社会生活中发生的大小事件，还有个人成长的经历趣闻。新闻类语篇在写作手法上遵循的原则是“keep it short and simple”，简称KISS原则。高考所选取的新闻类文章主要采取“导语（lead）——主体（body）——结尾（end）”的结构模式。新闻类语篇有以下几个特点： 1.主题明确突出 新闻类文章的内容围绕某个新闻事件或人物展开，文章主题经常会出现在导语部分。导语一般是文章第一或第一、二段，用简明生动的语言将新闻最具价值、最新鲜的内容或典型例子放在开头，引出文章主题。导语部分通常能全部或部分回答who、what、when、where、why、how等问题。正文主要是对导语部分所提供的主题信息的相关细节进行解释和深化，此部分以记叙或者说明为主。结尾再一次总结中心思想，以强调、启发、或号召等方式结束，也有的新闻文章没有明显的结束语。 2.信息准确客观 新闻报道强调客观性，一般以第三人称为主，客观报道事实、描述事件或陈述观点。所提供的细节信息，如时间、人物、地点、因果等都有明确的出处或来源。作者一般不表达自己的观点，而是通过引语，包括直接和间接引语，来陈述相关人士的态度和观点。 3.语言简洁风趣 新闻类语篇既要做到观点明确，又要做到表达有力和叙述生动，因此十分讲究语言的趣味性，用浓缩的语言表达丰富的内容。用词平实易懂，精炼简洁。 三、新闻报道类阅读理解解题策略 1.浏览文章，判断文体考 生在做阅读理解题时一定要有“文体意识”，即结合文章体裁的文体特征，紧扣主旨理解文章。具体到新闻类文体，首先通过新闻独有的语篇特征，如导语、信息源等，判断是否是新闻类语篇。然后，根据文章结构特点和题型特点可以去文章相应部分寻找答案，这样可以节约时间、有的放矢。例如：文章主旨、写作意图题一般对应文章导语部分。 2.利用导语，掌握核心 导语往往包括了新闻最具价值的内容，与主旨密切相关，是对新闻事件本质、新闻人物的突出特点和社会现象背后的原因等最凝练的概括，是写作意图题、主旨大意题的重要判断依据。例如：2020全国高考III卷C篇，探讨了英国社会中由于多方压力，一家人几代同堂的现状。第31题“What is the text mainly about?”就是导语的侧面考查。通过结合下文的例子和数据分析，我们知道这种选择多是同住一室的家庭越来越多，因此全文讲述的是人们居住方式的一种新的趋势。 3.深入细节，定位分析 细节判断题是新闻类语篇的主要考查题型，做题时考生要有“题目意识”，即由题干关键词把握命题意图和答题要点，解题时多使用“同义转换”或者“综合归纳”两种方法。多数情况下，选项会对原文信息进行同义转换，即原文信息的另外一种表达。相反，选项中如果出现了原文出现过的词句，应当引起警觉，谨防受到“偷梁换柱”的迷惑干扰。有时候细节散落在多个句子，或者在不同段落中都有提到，考生应该分析事件之间的关联、人物与事件的关联、社会现象背后的原因和结果的关联等等，进行综合归纳。如果是以记叙为主，则需要抓住“何人、何时、何为、何因、何果”几要素，这几大要素也是题目的着眼点。4. 结合主旨，理解引语 引语是新闻类文章中的点睛之笔，用来体现作者或者文中相关方面的态度、观点，用来佐证支撑主旨。在答题时要有“语境意识”，即联系文章主旨和上下文语境分析判断作者的写作意图或者说话人的情感态度。 ( 新八省期中 名校 模拟试题 ) 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道01】（24-25高三上·宁夏·阶段练习） China ups rectification of ‘fan circle’ culture which distorts minors’ values, endangers social governance China’s cyberspace regulator on Friday enhanced rectification with specific measures over the sick parts of “fan circle” culture in the entertainment industry, tackling the long- controversial moves by teenage fans that blindly idolize celebrities, excessively spend money on their “idols,” and exclude others, as distorted values within the circles have also bred cyberbullying and illegal fund raising. Some fans who engage in frequent verbal abuse with supporters of other celebrities, or blindly defending their scandal-ridden idols have recently prompted heated criticism online against such fandom culture, which is feared to pose a great danger to the development of the young generation and the mainstream values, ideological security and social governance. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) published a notice on Friday on its website asking provincial offices to heighten the efforts to rectify the fan circle chaos and make entertainment- related platforms perform their duties to war d off irrational idol worshipping. The CAC specified 10 measures, urging enhanced sense of urgency to improve the fan circle culture to safeguard online political and ideological security, and supervise the plat forms to implement the measures. The measures include cancelling all ranking lists of entertainments, barring forums that pick fights and lead to chaos, and requesting agencies to better guide fan groups. Before Friday’s notice, the CAC in mid-June and July have launched campaigns targeting sick fan circles culture that adversely affected adolescence. The CAC on Friday also published a draft set of rules on algorithm services, urging transparency and authenticity of statistics and data be put to good use. Observers believed the draft also serves to cleanse the entertainment industry given the reality of platforms and idol agencies colluding to manipulate rankings. On August 6, China’s major social media platform Weibo announced the removal of the “star power list,” where fans spent large amounts of time, money and energy to keep their idols on a higher position. Search engines Baidu and 360 also shelved their similar lists of “stars influencers.” Weibo has been deleteing verbal abuse posts and publishing information of account suspensions weekly since June to tackle verbal abuse and rumors concerning fan circles. In recent weeks, dozens of mobile phone apps that can be used for fan fundraising, tracking idols’ activities and lifting idol’s rankings on different lists were removed from app stores. The enhanced measures on fan circles come alongside the punishment of wrongdoing entertainers, including a 299 million yuan ($46.27 million) fine on actress Zheng Shuang for tax fraud, as China is determined to cleanse the industry of bad influences. 1．What is the main purpose of this article?

The robot dog, which is currently being field-tested, is able to navigate (导航) its physical environment via cameras and sensors, including recognizing traffic light signals, which traditional guide dogs are unable to do. Roughly the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, it can communicate by listening and speaking with a visually impaired operator with AI-technology integrated in its voice recognition, route planning capabilities and traffic light recognition. It also has six legs, which the researchers say help it walk smoothly and with maximum stability. Married couple Li Fei, 41, and Zhu Sibin, 42, are among the visually impaired people helping the Jiao Tong University team test the robot using Chinese-language commands. “If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone,” Li said. Robot guide dogs are under development in other countries, including Australia and Britain, but China has a critical shortage of traditional guide dogs. “In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people,” said Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at Jiao Tong University’s School of Mechanical Engineering in Shanghai. There might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs. Unlike those dogs, which will always be limited in supply due to the natural limitations of breeding and the intense training required, Gao said the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China. “It’s a bit like cars. I can mass-produce them in the same way as cars, so it will become more affordable,” Gao said. 1．Why does the author mention “traffic light signals” in paragraph 2? A. To predict traffic rules in the future. B. To demonstrate the function of the robot dog. C. To stress the importance of obeying traffic rules. D. To show the advantage of traditional guide dogs. 2. What do we know about the Chinese robot guide dog? A. It has four legs. B. It is hard to keep stable. C. It has passed the field test. D. It is wider than an English Bulldog. 3. What is Li Fei’s attitude to the robot dog? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 4. What do the last two paragraphs try to tell us? A. It is easy to train traditional guide dogs. B. China has enough traditional guide dogs. C. Robot guide dogs will have a big market. D. Professor Gao wants to mass-produce cars. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道03】（24-25高三上·内蒙古锡林郭勒盟·期中）Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (Tex Net). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 1. How does the AI forecast earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings. D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 2. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 3. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 4. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道04】（24-25高二上·四川绵阳·阶段练习）Profits at Netflix have increased as the world’s largest streaming (在线播放) service added millions of subscribers (订户). The entertainment giant added 9.3 million new viewers in the latest quarter — more than expected by analysts on Wall Street — leaving it with a record 269.6 million worldwide. "We’re off to a good start in 2024,” the company said. Its shares (股票) dropped 2% yesterday, however, after rising by almost a third since January. Profits at Netflix rose 15% to $9.4bn (£7.7bn) in the three months to 31 March. Net income (净收入) jumped 79% to $2.3bn over the same period. Netflix pioneered the streaming revolution. Hollywood’s established giants, from Disney to Warner Bros, are still struggling to catch up and turn a profit on their own competitor digital services. A growth in subscribers early in the pandemic paused in 2022 as limits were lifted. But shares in Netflix have increased over the past two years as it shored up growth by forbidding password-sharing and introducing a cheaper level of its service, with advertisements. Netflix has also broadened to live events, including coverage of World Wrestling Entertainment, and videogaming. In a letter to investors on Wednesday night, the company announced it would stop reporting how many members it has from next year. As it has regained momentum (发展势头) following its post-pandemic growth struggles, Netflix has been trying to direct Wall Street’s focus away from its subscriber growth numbers， arguing that other financial things including sales were more important. Forecasting sales growth of up to 15% this year, the company said to achieve “healthy” long-term growth it will need to “improve the variety and quality” of movies, shows and games on its platform; make it easier for users to find new series; and build its ad-funded level into a “more meaningful contributor” to its business. 1.

That was obvious from the start. Shi and his team had difficulty finding a landlord willing to rent to a funeral parlor (殡仪馆) . In the end, the site they found was in Hongkou District, a me re 10- minute walk from Baoxing Funeral Parlor, one of the largest undertakers in Shanghai. The Baiduren salon is decorated in a modern style, with soft lighting that contrasts with traditional funeral homes. “Apart from those who want to pour their hearts out, we also receive families who want to discuss funeral affairs in a more relaxed, comforting environment,” Shi told Shanghai Daily. The Baiduren salon looks like a common cafe, but many people come here to pour out their hearts about their perceptions of life and death. The salon has been more popular than the team expected since its soft opening in late February. In the past month, the team has listened to a lot of stories — from survivors who can’t seem to accept the loss of a loved one, to survivors still in shock over a death that occurred by accident. In turn, staff often relate their own stories of sorrow. The salon, from the standpoint of both staff and customers, points to a change in how people — especially the young — view death and funerals. And Baiduren is not the only example of young people determined to make a difference in the funeral business. 1. What difficulty did Shi Xiaolin meet at first? A. He couldn’t find employees. B. No one would rent sites to him. C. The relatives of the dead doubted him. D. He lacked money to decorate the parlor. 2. What is people’s attitude toward the Baiduren salon? A. They accept the new trend. B. They show no interest in it. C. They hold a wait- and- see attitude. D. They feel it shows no respect to the dead. 3. Which words can be used to describe Shi Xiaolin? A.

Now, a team of engineers and geologists brings a new theory to the table—a water lift device that would have floated the heavy stones up through the middle of Egypt’s oldest pyramid using stored water. Ancient Egyptians built the Step Pyramid for Pharaoh Djoser in the 27th century BC, and it was the tallest structure at the time, coming in at about 62 meters tall. But how exactly the structure was erected, with a number of stones weighing in at 300 kilograms, has remained a centuries-old mystery, according to the study published Monday in the journal PLOS One. “Many detailed publications have discussed pyramid-building procedures and provided real examples, but these usually focus on more recent, better-documented, and smaller pyramids of the Middle and New Kingdoms (1,980 to 1,075 BC),” said lead author Dr. Xavier Landreau, CEO of Paleotechnic, a privately owned research institute in Paris that studies ancient technologies. “The techniques involved could include ramps (活动坡道), cranes (起重机), or a combination of these methods,” he added in an email. “But what about the Old Kingdom pyramids (2,675 to 2,130 BC), which are much bigger? While human strength and ramps may be the only construction force for small structures, other techniques may have been used for large pyramids.” Using a combined approach, the new paper was the first to report a system matching the Step Pyramid’s internal architecture, the authors wrote. A complex water treatment system drawing upon local resources could have created a water-powered elevator within the pyramid’s internal vertical passage. Some type of float would have raised the heavy stones up the middle of the pyramid, according to the study. 1. What does the underlined word “erected” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Changed. B. Designed. C. Built. D. Destroyed. 2. Which may play a role in building small pyramids according to Dr. Landreau? A. People and ramps. B. Ramps and cranes. C. People and cranes. D. Water and ramps. 3. What is the main advantage of the water lift device in building pyramids? A. It simplifies the use of ramps. B. It helps to make heavy stones raised. C. It increases the weight of the stones. D. It uses some resources for treatment. 4. What is the best title for the text? A. Water Lift Theory: A New View on Pyramid Construction B. Recent Researches on the Stories of Egypt’s Small Pyramid C. A Historical Debate: Egypt’s Pyramid Construction Secrets D.

All went smoothly, aside from a minor mess- up by Emirati pilot Ahmed al-Shehhi, who reportedly crashed into the water during his heat. Fortunately, he quickly rose to the water surface and gave a thumbs-up before being picked up by a rescue crew. Inspired by F1 technology, the suits feature five gas turbines (涡轮机) fitted on the arms and back, capable of generating over 1, 000 horsepower. This allows the racer to pick up speeds of up to128 kilometers per hour. The suits can typically stay in air for just 3 minutes, although it’s possible to fly for over 7 minutes if conditions are ideal. If the suits remind you of a certain billionaire superhero, you’re not alone. It seems that the founder of Gravity Industries also drew some inspiration from the Marvel Universe. “The closest comparison would be that dream of flying. . . and then go wherever your mind is taking you,” Richard Browning, the founder and chief test pilot, said after the race. “And yes, the world of Marvel superheroes and DC Comics, they have created that dream book, and we are the people who are the closest to realizing that for real,” Browning added. Understandably, the technology doesn’t come cheap. If you fancy getting your hands on a custom- made jet-suit from Gravity Industries, expect a price tag of at least £380, 000. It isn’t all fun and games, though. Gravity Industries has previously demonstrated that their jetpacks could be used by rescue teams to reach dangerous mountain areas. They’ve also suggested it could be used by police forces to hunt down criminals on the run. 1. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. The definition of horsepower. B. The features of F1 technology. C. The conditions of using jet- suits. D. The introduction of the jet- suits. 2. How did Richard Browning feel after the race? A. Confident. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Concerned. 3. What can we know about the new technology of Gravity Industries? A. It has its medical value. B. It is affordable for everyone. C. It can be used in rescue work. D. It has been adopted by the police. 4. What is the aim of this passage? A. To compare. B. To entertain. C. To inform. D.

However, Riley Schlick, a high school senior in Florida, rebuilds them for a tidy profit. Once a vital piece of equipment for cars, carburetors adjust the air- fuel mixture for internal combustion engines (内燃机). In its simplest form, a carburetor takes in air from one end and forces it through a narrow section that causes the air to speed up and the pressure to drop. As a result, the falling pressure creates a vacuum that draws in air and fuel through another hole in the side, which gathers dirt and generates performance problems. Chemical carburetor cleaners sometimes address the issues, but not the way a full rebuild can. That’s where Schlick’s Bradenton- based business Riley’s Rebuilds comes in. Schlick learned how to do the work from her dad, Dane Trask, who rebuilds classic cars as a hobby. He showed her how to do it, and also made use of some online instructional videos. “She picked it up easily,” he said. Schlick and her staff — her school friends Dagny, Katie, Amelia, and Elaine — unbox a carburetor that arrives in the mail and first document its basic information such as origin and model number before they get the device ready to break down. The team soda blasts (强速喷射) the body to remove the dirt and dust and then blows it to clear any remaining soda bits.“ We use soda blasting instead of sand or glass because it’s gentler. And the soda doesn’t get stuck in the carburetors,” Schick said. Once the dirt is gone, they dry the carburetor thoroughly and put it back together. Riley’s Rebuilds charges $145 and up to rebuild a carburetor and send it back to its owner. On average, the team works on 20 or more carburetors a week. Carburetors look complicated and difficult, but actually they are not. From a business standpoint, it is a growing market for Schlick and for younger kids. 1. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the features of a full rebuild. B. To stress the limitations of chemical cleaners. C. To introduce the working principle of carburetors. D. To highlight the significance of Riley’s Rebuilds. 2. What do we know about Schlick from paragraph 3? A. She is quick to learn. B. She runs a family business. C. She enjoys surfing online. D. She is really into classic cars. 3. Why does the team use soda as the cleaning material? A. It’s carburetor-friendly. B. It’s custom-tailored. C. It’s readily available. D. It’s cost-effective. 4. Which of the following can best describe Schlick’s business? A. Flexible and sustainable. B. Fruitful and promising. C. Competitive but profitable. D. Demanding but manageable. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道09】（24-25高三上·云南德宏·阶段练习）More than 30,000 people worldwide are found to have brain tumors (肿瘤) each year. While treatment has improved over the last few decades, recurrence (复发) remains a risk. And the unpredictable timing of tumors returning makes them difficult to detect early. Luckily, scientists are developing the world’s first finger-prick (扎) test to spot brain tumors to pick up sign of return. The work is being led by a team at Nottingham Trent University, funded by the Medical Research Council. The scientists believe that the simple finger-prick test would improve the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world. It could also significantly lessen the burden on health care systems by reducing the need for MRI scans and by providing a cost-effective alternative to some clinic appointments. “Patients often have follow-up MRI scans every three to six months, but a quick test to detect brain cancer could make it possible to efficiently test recurrence every week, so that more recurrent tumors are caught early at a more treatable stage,” says Dr Ola Rominiyi, one of the lead scientists.“ Additionally, the tests could actually help guide the best time to perform MRI scans for each individual patient. Over time, this might lead to a more personalized approach to MRI scanning and some patients needing to have MRI scans slightly less frequently.” Moving forward, the research team plans to seek the next stage of funding and start the trial stage in2025. Therefore, scientists believe that the earliest the test could become commercially available—considering regulatory approvals, etc.— would be 2026 or 2027. “It’s hard to imagine a medical technology so widely understood and used. This tech would provide regular and affordable treatment for patients at home in an easy-to-use way. We hope the work could be applied to other types of cancer, too, potentially helping to save millions of lives,” says Wilson, another scientist of the team. 1. What problem does the finger-prick test try to solve about brain tumors? A. Their too quick growth. B. The growing confirmed cases. C. Their high death rate. D. The uncertain return. 2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The difference between MRI and the test. B. The advantages of the finger-prick test. C. The research team’s expectation of the test. D. The guide to using the finger-prick test. 3. What can be inferred about the finger-prick test? A. It has received enough financial support. B. It has been approved by the government. C. It may take time before going to the market. D. It may meet different technology challenges. 4. What will the researchers’ future study most probably focus on? A. New treatments for brain tumors. B. More clinic trials about the test. C. Cost reduction about the test. D. The test’s application to other cancers. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道10】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）China’s Chang’e 6 probe returned on Earth with rock and soil samples from the little- explored far side of the moon in a global first. The probe landed in the Inner Mongolian region in northern China on Tuesday afternoon. “I now declare that the Chang’e 6 Lunar Exploration Mission achieved complete success,” Zhang Kejian, director of the China National Space Administration, said in a televised news conference after the landing. Chinese scientists anticipate the returned samples will include 2.5 million-year-old volcanic rock and other material that scientists hope will answer questions about geographic differences on the moon’s two sides. The near side is what is seen from Earth, and the far side faces outer space. The far side is also known to have mountains and impact craters (坑), contrasting with the relatively flat expanses visible on the near side. The probe had landed in the moon’s South Pole — Aitken Basin, an impact crater created more than 4 billion years ago. The samples scientists are expecting will likely come from different layers of the basin, which will bear traces of the different geological events across its long chronology (年表), such as when the moon was younger and had an active inside that could produce volcanic rock. China in recent years has launched multiple successful missions to the moon, collecting samples from the moon’s near side with the Chang’e 5probe previously. They are also hoping that the probe will return with material that bears traces of meteorite (陨石) strikes from the moon’s past. That material could shed light on the solar system’s early days. There’s a theory that the moon acted as a vacuum (真空) cleaner of sorts, attracting all the meteorites in the system’s earlier era so that they didn’t hit Earth, said Richard de Grijs, who is also executive director at the International Space Science Institute. 1. What makes Chang’e 6’s mission unique in lunar exploration history? A. Landing on the moon’s South Pole. B. Confirming lunar water presence. C. Collecting the moon’s far-side samples. D. Returning samples from the near side. 2. What may distinguish the moon’s far side from its near side? A. Fewer craters. B. Earth visibility. C. Rough lands. D. Plains dominance. 3. What might the Chang’e 6’s samples help to know? A. Lunar internal activity. B. Origin of the moon. C. Moon’s formation timeline. D. Earth’s impact on the moon. 4. What role might the moon have played in the early solar system according to Richard de Grijs? A. Creating the solar system. B. Causing meteorites to form. C. Attracting meteorites for study. D. Protecting Earth from meteorites. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道11】（24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）Fully self-driving cars, despite the claims of some companies, aren’t exactly ready to hit the roads anytime soon. There’s even a solid case to be made that completely autonomous vehicles (AVs) will never take over everyday travel. Regardless, some urban planners are already looking into ensuring how such a future could be as safe and efficient. According to a team at North Carolina State University, one solution may be changing the more-than-century-old design of traffic signals. The ubiquity (普遍性) of stop lights’ Red-Yellow-Green phases aren’t just coincidence (巧合). Dating back to 1931, this has served drivers pretty well since then, but the NC State team argues AVs could eventually create the opportunity for better road conditions. Or, at the very least, could benefit from some basic adjustments. Last year, researchers led by environmental engineering associate professor Ali Hajbabaie created a computer model for city commuting (通勤) patterns which indicated everyday driving could one day actually improve from a sizable pour of AVs. By sharing their massive amounts of real-time sensor information with one another, Hajbabaie and colleagues believe these vehicles could in theory coordinate (使协调) far beyond simple crossroads changes to adjust variables like speed and break times. To further make the best use of these benefits, they put forward the introduction of a fourth, “white” light to traffic signals. In this model, the “white” phase activates(激活)whenever enough interconnected AVs approach a crossroad. Once lit, the phase indicates nearby drivers should simply follow the car (AV or human) in front of them, instead of trying to anticipate something like a yellow light’s transition time to red. Additionally, such inter-connectivity could communicate with traffic signal systems to determine when it is best for “Walk” and “Do-Not-Walk” pedestrian (行人) signals. Based on their modelling, it appeared that such a change could reduce crossroads jam by at least 40 percent compared to current traffic system optimization software. In doing so, this could improve overall travel times, fuel efficiency, and safety. 1. What can we learn about completely autonomous vehicles (AVs)? A. They have settled traffic jam problems. B. They have become popular in urban areas. C. They will take the place of other vehicles. D. They may not be widely used in the future. 2. What does the “white” light do? A. It tells drivers to stop. B. It helps drivers avoid traffic jams. C. It allows drivers to go through crossroads faster. D. It makes it easier for pedestrians to cross the street. 3. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea of a fourth “white” light? A. Neutral. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 4. What is probably the text? A. A news report. B. A research paper. C.

A few weeks earlier, her 33- year- old son had lost his battle with a long illness. Then the transmission (变速器) on her2007 car broke down. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed. “When it broke down, I broke down,” Lee told CNN. “Now I don’t have my baby, now I don’t have transportation. How am I supposed to stay active in my grandchildren’s lives?” Eliot Middleton, 38, the owner of a barbecue restaurant and former auto mechanic who, in his free time, repairs and gives away used cars. He’d heard about Lee’s difficulty from her nephew Frank McClary. On Christmas morning, Middleton showed up at Lee’s home with a gift: a white1993 Oldsmobile. “He handed me the keys and didn’t ask for anything.” said Lee. Once again, she’s able to pick up her granddaughters from school and take them to dance class. The idea for the used- car giveaway came to Middleton a year earlier during a food drive he’d organized. Many of those who’d lined up for a meal walked up to four miles because they didn’t have cars. Cars are a lifeline in this part of South Carolina, Middleton told CBS. “There’s no public transportation, no Ubers, no taxis to take people to job interviews, doctor appointments, even food shopping. So he posted on Facebook an offer to trade his restaurant’s specialty, barbecued ribs (烤排骨), for broken- down vehicles. Since then, friends and strangers have dropped off more than100 cars in various states of disrepair. “People think Eliot is an angel,” Mayor McClary told the Washington Post. “And I do too.” 1. What happened to Lee around Christmas 2020? A. Her car was lost. B. The Christmas upset her. C. Her son was seriously ill. D. She suffered misfortunes. 2. In what way did Middleton help Lee? A.

The real-life elephants of the sculptures are personally known to The Coexistence Collective — the community of around 200 artists in southern India who made them. The sculptures can be seen in Newport, Rhode Island through early September. From there they will head to New York City, Miami, the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana and finally Los Angeles. The organization is planning to sell the elephants off to raise funds for 22 conservation organizations around the country as the tour progresses. Organizers said 30 sculptures had already been sold off, with prices ranging from $8,000 for a baby elephant to $22,000 for an adult. In Newport, the profit will go to Save the Bay, which works to remove foreign grasses from local wetlands in order to restore the habitats for the birds there. The enormous life-like sculptures are made out of lantana — a tough foreign grass that’s been encroaching upon the elephants’ natural forest habitat, pushing the animals onto tea and coffee farms where their coexistence with humans has become a genuine challenge. “Lantana has displaced animals across huge areas in India, because it takes over from herbs and bushes that are food for animals,” said Tarsh Thekaekara, a wildlife conservationist specializing in human-elephant relations. “40 to 50% of many Indian parks are taken over by it.” Tarsh Thekaekara also hopes that visitors will learn more about how important it is for animals and humans to negotiate shared space, as more places become uninhabitable for both owing to direct human destruction and the impacts of human-caused climate change. 1. What can we learn about the exhibition? A. Its first stop will be in New York City. B. It includes 100 real elephants from India. C. The sculptures will be sold at the same price D. All the exhibits are based on identified elephants. 2. The underlined phrase “encroaching upon” in paragraph 4 can be understood as ________. A. restoring B. damaging C. dividing D. restricting 3. What is Tarsh Thekaekara mainly worried about according to paragraph 5? A. Public parks in India. B. Impacts of climate change. C. A harmful foreign grass. D. Human-elephant coexistence. 4.

Created in 2022, the cafe was a response to the need in the community for programs that would enable youth with special needs to develop social and professional skills in a safe environment. The cafe was the idea of Pennsylvania mom Maureen Stanko, a teacher, fitness instructor, and musician, who was concerned about her son Nick, who has autism (孤独症) and food allergies, and what he would be able to do after graduation. In Pennsylvania, students with disabilities can stay in school until age 22, but worrying about Nick’s future is what keeps Stanko up at night. Stanko was so worried that she spoke to Nick’s therapist, Tyler Kammerle, who had dreamed about opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. The two worked together to make this a reality. Two years later, the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe was born. It employed 63 people and 80 percent of them have some form of disability. The cafe is more than just a space to work; it’s also a place for people with disabilities and their families to dine. “We’d never even taken Nick to a restaurant before because we wouldn’t spend all this money to eat out to be completely stressed out,” Stanko said. “This cafe has taught Nick how to sit in a restaurant. And now we have a place to go, where if he stands up and starts hopping or clapping, nobody cares.” The inclusive cafe has made a real difference in people’s lives. One of the staff, Lauren Oppelts, who is hearing impaired, said, “If you told me two years ago that I would be a server, I wouldn’t believe you. But now I have gained so much self-confidence. A lot of employees here have changed so much; it’s just mind-blowing.” 1. Why did Stanko and Tyler Kammerle establish the cafe? A. To serve people with various abilities. B. To provide a place for family occasions. C. To instruct graduates in professional skills. D. To offer employment to youth with special needs. 2. What was Stanko’s concern about taking Nick to a restaurant? A. The cost of dining out. B. The noisy customers in restaurants. C. The lack of an inclusive environment. D. The food allergies Nick is suffering from. 3. How has working at the cafe affected Lauren Oppelts? A. She has taken to socializing. B. She has grown more positive. C.

With a history of 120 years, the Goncourt Prize stands as one of the most important literary awards in France. Described as “extremely refreshing”, the book offers readers a break from a sad new cycle, according to Didier Lecoin, the jury (评委会) president of the Goncourt Prize. Philippe Claudel, another member, said it was “high-quality popular literature”. “And that is what the Goncourt is about,” he added. Watch Over Her develops as a love story between a young poor sculptor and a local noble young woman in 20th -century Italy, during the rise of fascism (法西斯主义). The account skillfully combines their story of love with explorations of Italian history and political structures. Andrea mentioned that he crafted the story of Watch Over Her because he desired to reconnect with Italy, “the country of my ancestors”, and because he firmly believed in the power of popular fiction. Andrea, a former screenwriter and director who turned to novel writing in his 40s, expressed that writing novels allowed him to rediscover the joy of writing lost in filmmaking. For him , writing is a means of taking control of his life, representing a return to his childhood passion for storytelling. While some critics suggested that Watch Over Her might challenge the traditionally elite (精英) image of the Goncourt Prize, Andrea thought differently in an interview with France Inter, stating, “I feel that today we’ve left the privilege of telling stories to cinema... as if telling a story excluded depth. But I think we can be popular and at the same time deep, and give different levels of reading to different types of readers and generations.” 1. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To lead into the topic of the passage. B. To introduce a new literary award. C. To present one of the major views of the society. D. To draw readers’ attention to writing. 2. What do people think of Watch Over Her? A. It is highly thought of by all. B. It offers an escape from sorrow. C. It elevates high-quality literature. D. It provides access to science fiction. 3. Why did Andrea return to novel writing? A. He is interested in exploring storytelling methods. B. He hopes to find a sense of inner peace. C. He needs to seek further inspiration for filmmaking. D. He wants to fulfill his childhood dream. 4. What do we know about Watch Over Her? A. It is a short story set in 19th-century Italy. B. It is a historical exploration of French politics. C. It represents Andrea’s way of revisiting his roots. D. It involves a young sculptor and a poor woman. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道17】（2024·河南新乡·三模）English businessman Richard Branson made history on July 11, 2021 as he and three other crewmates became the world’s first space tourists. The flight was made by a spacecraft named VSS Unity that was built by Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic. The flight lasted slightly more than an hour, and took Branson and crew to an altitude (海拔) of 53.5miles above the Earth, just a little above the boundary (边界) of space which lies 50 miles above the Earth. At that height, the atmosphere turns into the black of outer space and the Earth becomes a bent ball of blue. Travelers also exhibit weightlessness as there is no gravity, the force that keeps our bodies walking on the Earth’s surface. Therefore, Branson and his fellows were able to float around in VSS Unity while enjoying the views. They were able to do that for three minutes before the spacecraft began its downward journey. It landed back at Virgin Galactic’s space port in New Mexico, United States, which is the same place from where it had taken off 90 minutes before. On landing back, Branson said, “I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly, nothing could prepare you for the view of the Earth from space. It was just magical. I’m just taking it all in, and it’s unreal.” July 11’s flight is the start of space tourism for one and all. In early 2022, customers who can afford a ticket for a quarter of a million dollars can line up for a seat on a trip to space. And guess what — they will have a choice of spacecraft. Jeff Bezos, who owns a famous company, is all set to launch himself into space on July 20 on board a spacecraft built by his new branch company Blue Origin. Blue Origin will also carry tourists to space. 1. What is Richard Branson famous for? A. His success in tourism. B. His company of Virgin Galactic. C. His spaceship named VSS Unity. D. His first commercial space travel in history. 2. What does Branson think of his space travel? A. Unbelievable. B. Adventurous. C. Regrettable. D. Worthless. 3. What do space tourists have to do? A. Take a spacecraft of Virgin Galactic. B. Pay $250,000 for the rocket tour. C. Pass the fitness test for astronauts. D. Line up for a position in Blue Origin. 4. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Humans will move to other livable planets. B. Ordinary people will soon land on the moon. C. Private rocket space travel is growing gradually. D. Some companies abandon their proper business. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·新闻报道18】（24-25高三上·青海西宁·开学考试）You may have already seen them in restaurants: waist-high machines that can greet guests, lead them to their tables, deliver food and take dirty dishes to the kitchen. Some even have cat-like faces and make cat-like sounds when you touch their heads. But are robot waiters going to be accepted in the world? Many restaurant owners think so. Li Zhai is one of them. When Zhai was having trouble finding staff for his restaurant in the summer of 2021, he bought a BellaBot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he added two more. Now, one robot leads diners to their seats while another delivers steaming noodles to tables. The third robot is used to transport dirty dishes to the kitchen. “We only need three robots to do the same volume of business that five or six people used to handle,” says Zhai, “A robot costs around $15, 000, but a person costs $5, 000 to $6, 000 per month. The robots also give human servers more time to communicate with customers, which increases tips. And customers often post videos of the robots on social media that attract others to visit.” “Eventually, a certain percentage of restaurants — maybe 30% — will continue to have human servers and be considered more luxurious, while the rest will rely more heavily on robots in the kitchen and in dining rooms,” said Dennis Reynolds, professor of the Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership. “Economics are on the side of robots. The cost of human labor will continue to rise, but technology cost will fall.” But not all have had the same success with robots. Chili’s introduced a robot server named Rita in 2020 and expanded the test to its 61 restaurants before abandoning the experiment last August. The chain found that Rita moved too slowly and got in the way of human servers. And 58% of guests surveyed said Rita didn’t improve their overall experience. “We don’t go to a restaurant to be served by technology. We go for the experience of being served by humans,” many of the diners said. 1. Why did Li Zhai decide to buy the first robot? A. He wanted to save money. B. He couldn’t find human waiters. C.

When he was in his early 20s, Shikuku Ooko was deeply taken with the Afro-Alpine forests of central Kenya. So much so that he decided to buy 15 acres of woods next to Mount Kenya National Park & Reserve. More than 30 years later Mr. Ooko’s home is one of the few plots still filled with native trees and plants. In contrast, much of the national park has been heavily logged. The Mount Kenya region is remote and delicate, which makes it difficult to safeguard. Though the Kenya Forest Service has made sustainably managing all public forest plantations its second priority, the burden of conservation has fallen on the shoulders of local individuals such as Mr. Ooko. In recent years, herders (牧民) have even built animal pens within legally protected areas. “It’s a bit of an annoying sight,” Mr. Ooko says, “when foreign visitors have to pay a high fee to enter the park but then come across huge herds of sheep and cattle in the delicate environment. The laws protecting that environment are in place, but they are insufficiently enforced because rangers (护林员) at each gate are limited.”. When he’s at home in Naro Moru, Mr. Ooko advocates for tree planting, particularly among kids. “It’s something I grew up doing,” he explains. “When I was young, my dad would give all of us 10young trees to plant and take care of. Somehow, he knew the connections between trees and climate changes.” It’s a practice Mr. Ooko has kept alive despite continuous challenges with climate and cattle; it is not uncommon for sheep and cattle to destroy the young trees that he and his young friends have planted. “We just keep going,” he says. “It’s something I value, and I think we should plant more.” 1. What can we know about Mr. Ooko’s woods? A. They were purchased 20 years ago. B. They suffer from heavy logging. C. They have conserved much wildlife. D. They have been well protected. 2. Why are the laws insufficiently enforced according to Mr. Ooko? A. Because herders need to save cattle. B. Because herders need wood for fire. C. Because there are too many visitors. D. Because there aren’t enough rangers. 3. What can we infer about Mr. Ooko according to the passage? A. He never raises sheep and cattle. B. He was influenced by his father. C. He donated his woods to the park. D. He has made a fortune by planting. 4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Challenges from Climate Changes B. The Introduction to Mount Kenya Park C. The Fight to Save Mount Kenya’s Forests D. The Connection between People and Nature 试卷第28页，共28页 29 / 29 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
