专题04 阅读理解之新闻报道 （一） （23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期末）Several security guards of residential compounds in Beijing and workers were seen shoveling snow and some parked vehicles were covered by thick overnight snow. The first snowfall of winter arrived in Beijing early Monday, covering the Chinese capital with a mantle (披风) of white overnight and plunging (使……下降) the city into freezing temperatures, with even colder weather coming this week in northern China. Snowfall reached 5.8 mm on average by early Monday, with the highest snowfall of 10.2 mm recorded in Fangshan district, Beijing Meteorological (气象的) Service data showed. Beijing typically sees its first snow of the season between late November and February, or even none at all. More snowfall is expected this week, with temperatures seen further sliding to as low as -20°Celsius. The Chinese capital last saw such similarly extremely cold weather on Jan. 7, 2021, when the temperature dropped to -19.6℃. The cold snap (寒潮) in Beijing this week, compared with the autumn-like conditions a week ago, mirrored the sharp swings in temperatures recently. In October, Beijing experienced one of its warmest Octobers in decades in a year of weather extremes. On Monday, the government warned of road icing in large parts of the city of nearly 22 million, with authorities shutting some expressways or partially closing sections. By 10 a. m. local time, 62 out of a few hundred flights had been cancelled at the Beijing Capital Airport. Railway authorities enforced speed limits on lines connecting Beijing and Guangzhou in southern China, causing delays in some passenger trains. By 7 a. m. Monday, more than 180 bus routes in Beijing had been suspended. The official Beijing Daily reported that vegetable stocks were enough, hitting this year’s highest daily market volume of 23,800 tons, as merchants stocked up (备货) ahead of time. Huang, a Beijing resident working in the internet sector, said the snow in Beijing came early. “Normally, it doesn’t snow until the Spring Festival,” Huang said, referring to the start of the Lunar New Year, which typically falls in January or February. 1．Which of the following is not used to show the seriousness of the snowfall in paragraph?

Barbie and Oppenheimer have been huge hits around the world, with Barbie alone making over 1 billion US dollars just 17 days after release. This makes it Wamer Bros studio’s fastest movie to reach $1 billion and the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, the first-ever solo female filmmaker with a billion-dollar film. Barbie and Oppenheimer are an interesting pair because of how different they are from one another. Barbie is about a famous toy coming to life and facing issues of sexism and finding her own identity. Meanwhile, Oppenheimer is a serious male-driven historical film about J. Robert Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project and the development of the atomic bomb. The release of these two huge, wildly different movies on the same day led to the creation of countless memes (表情包) under the Barbenheimer hashtag. Filmgoers have even gone to see both movies one right after the other, with some dressing up in pink for Barbie going on to see Oppenheimer as well. Meanwhile, people have found some of the “Barbenheimer” memes disturbing. Atomic bombs killed many people and they think the memes made light of a very dark time in history. But the films have brought a healthy boost to cinema ticket sales around the world, helping an industry that has faced many challenges in recent years. The increasing popularity of streaming services and the COVID-19 pandemic have kept people out of cinemas. Now, the strikes from writers and actors over concerns of pay and about the use of artificial intelligence by film studios are also having an impact. Add to that a public tired of yearly big movies about superheroes and fast cars, as declining ticket sales suggest. Described as a historic moment for the movie industry. “‘Barbenheimer’ will go down as one of the biggest and unexpected milestones in the history of cinema,” Paul Dergarabedian at Comscore told CNN. 5．What made Barbie a significant achievement for Wamer Bros?

The 38-yuan sauce-flavored latte, which Luckin discounted to 19 yuan on the first day of sales, was one of the most popular topics on Chinese social media platform Weibo. Moutai is a colorless spirit that is usually served at banquets (宴会) in China, and drinkers say that the flavor of Moutai latte is similar to soy sauce. The companies said the latte alcohol content was lower than 0.5 percent of its volume. Kweichow Moutai has been looking for ways to be more accessible and appeal to a new generation of users. The company, based in China’s southwestern Guizhou province, also launched a baijiu-infused ice cream last year. With baijiu in it, the new ice cream became a hit. Chinese social media users posted videos of themselves picking up cups of the drink and being told by sales staff that they should not drive after drinking it. By Monday afternoon in Beijing, the app showed buyers would need to wait for more than an hour to pick up their drinks. Independent food industry analyst Zhu Danpeng said the cooperation would most likely benefit both brands. “Moutai and Luckin are the leading firms in the domestic liquor and coffee sectors, respectively,” Zhu said, “On the one hand, Moutai accelerates its brand rejuvenation (复兴) through cooperation with Luckin. On the other hand, for Luckin, its cooperation with Moutai also helps to improve its comprehensive strength and brand tone in the coffee industry.” 13．What is the alcohol content in the sauce-flavored latte?

This is Renia’s Diary, a journal that spent decades stored away in a safe box. Now it’s coming off the press with the help of Renia’s niece and sister.

The Chinese master carpenter, Wang Dewen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been honored as the modern day Lu Ban, a famous Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his vast carpentry knowledge. One of his videos, which shows him making a fantastic wooden arch bridge, went viral on the platform, gaining more than 42 million views. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge. Grandpa Amu has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. He created a folding stool (凳子) that looked like the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo. “A block of wood transforms into a stool. Genius,” a YouTube user named Rey commented under the video.

In her videos, she gracefully works as a farmer, impressing viewers with her understanding of food, nature and Chinese culture while showcasing the charm of Chinese culture in every detail of daily life. Her traditional food preparation craft and Chinese rural lifestyle have attracted 11.1 million subscribers on YouTube. Just like Li Ziqi, Grandpa Amu is also trying to spread unique Chinese techniques to the world. Grandpa Amu’s son and daughter-in-law now work full time on his videos, hoping that the channel’s popularity would help local villagers better sell their farm produce.“ We came up with the idea of making the videos because we wanted to bring our rural culture to others and let people learn about these ancient Chinese techniques,” said Huang Chunmei, Grandpa Amu’s daughter-in-law, in an interview with South China Morning Post.

Over seven years, he walked 48,000 kilometers across six continents and 38 countries - most of it with his dog Savannah. Speaking to CNN, Turcich explained that, after a friend died in an accident at age 17 he started to look at life differently, and decided to go on a journey around the world. It took over eight years of saving and planning before Turcich finally left his home on April 2, 2015 - just before his 26th birthday - on his way to Panama. He had a stroller to carry his hiking equipment, a sleeping bag, a laptop, a camera and a box of food. About four months into the journey, Turcich adopted Savannah from, an animal shelter in Texas. She joined him for the rest of the trip, becoming the first dog to walk around the world. The pair walked around 30-40 kilometers a day, spending most nights camping. Some parts could not be done on foot, however - such as when Turcich and Savannah took a boat from Uruguay to Antarctica. In late 2017, Turcich had to return home to recover from an illness he got while traveling through Ireland and the UK. He and Savannah started walking again in May 2018, going through Europe, North Africa and Turkey before getting stuck in Azerbaijan for six months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were able to travel to Kyrgyzstan before taking a plane to Seattle. From there, he and Savannah walked back to New Jersey. Turcich said the most difficult place to walk through was “desolate“ Wyoming. Now that he’s back home, Turcich says he wants to stay in one place for a while - and write a book about his trip. 29．What led to Turcich’s decision to walk around the world?

Imagine a voice softly telling as listeners close their eyes and snuggle down in their beds. Are you paying attention? Actually, it doesn’t matter. According to the CDC, some 70 million Americans struggle with chronic sleep problems. To help with this, many adults are bringing back bedtime stories through meditation apps. Nearly a third of the Calm app’s 300 bedtime stories, which have been listened to more than 450 million times, are about travel. Some 45% of the bedtime stories on the app Breethe are travel-related. Earlier this year, half of the top 10 bedtime stories were travel-themed. Travel bedtime stories are typically an audio retelling of a trip and rely heavily on descriptions, with occasional surrounding noises like ocean waves, train tracks, or soft music. Train stories are particularly popular at bedtime. “You need movement in a bedtime story—if things are static(静止的), it’s too dull and the listener will get restless,” says Martha Bayless, a professor at the University of Oregon’s Folklore and Public Culture Program. “But the movement has to be non-threatening and soothing. The train is the perfect vehicle for sleep, engaging the senses in a gentle way.” One possible reason why travel bedtime stories calm our brains is “mirror neurons(镜像神经元),” says Rachel Salas, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep and Wellness. “These brain cells might combine our own experiences with someone else’s. For example, a tale of train travel could bring a sense of nostalgia(怀旧)for our own past journeys. The comforting sense of something familiar can help with relaxation and sleep. Additionally, the sound of a train chugging along the tracks serves as a type of white noise that lulls people to sleep,” Salas adds. “In most travel bedtime stories, nothing much happens,” says Bayless. “The bedtime stories are about the quiet period between adventures, which is what sleep is also about.” 33．In which aspect do people benefit from travel tales? A．Promoting sleep. B．Inspiring imagination. C．Improving concentration. D．Gaining travel information. 34．What do the numbers in paragraph 2 mainly indicate? A．Most adults suffer a lot from a lack of sleep. B．Adequate quality sleep is essential to human health. C．Meditation apps help people reduce stress effectively. D．Travel-related bedtime stories are more appealing to listeners. 35．Rachel Salas’s words in paragraph 4 serve as ______. A．evidence of the significance of mirror neurons B．an explanation as to why travel tales help with sleep C．a description of adventurous travel experiences D．an analysis of how sleep affects people’s memory 36．In which section of a newspaper may this article appear? A．Travel. B．Opinion. C．Entertainment. D．Science. （十） （23-24高二上·浙江宁波·期末）McDonald’s is partnering with the White House to promote vaccination(疫苗接种)information on its coffee cups as hesitancy grows about taking the potentially life-saving shot. Beginning in July, customers in the United States will see redesigned McCafe cups and delivery seal stickers that features “We Can Do This”，a slogan(口号)created by the US Department of Health and Human Services to promote vaccine confidence. It also includes a website address (vaccines.gov) that directs people to nearby appointments and safety information. The promotion will last several weeks and the slogan will be printed on roughly 50 million cups. Prior to that, McDonald’s said its billboard in New York’s Times Square location will also display vaccine information beginning in mid-May. “We all want to protect ourselves and our loved ones and be together with our communities again,” said Genna Gent, McDonald’s USA vice president for global public policy and government relations. Xavier Becerra, the Health and Human Services secretary, said, “The public-private partnership will help more people make informed decisions about their health and learn about steps they can take to protect themselves and their communities.” McDonald’s wasn’t paid by the government for this promotion, according to a person familiar with the campaign. The “We Can Do This” campaign was announced in March and aimed at encouraging hesitant Americans to get vaccinated. In a Kaiser Family Foundation survey, 47% of people who say they want to “wait and see” before being vaccinated said paid time off to get it would make them more likely to do so, and 39% said a financial allowance of $200 from their employer would work. The US vaccination rate has declined from its peak last month, pushing officials to work out new ideas to further encourage the cautious, hesitant and inaccessible to get vaccinated. So far, more than 150 million people in the US have received at least one dose(剂量) of the vaccine. 37．Why does McDonald’s redesign its Mc Cafe cups? A．To promote its coffee sales. B．To encourage people to get vaccined. C．To raise public safety awareness. D．To bid for government investment. 38．What do we know about the McDonald’s campaign?

D．A newspaper. （十一） （22-23高二上·浙江绍兴·期末）Veteran Oksana Chusovitina called time on her legendary career on Sunday night after competing at a record eighth Olympic Games. After failing to secure a spot in Sunday’s vault (跳马) final, the 46-year-old, representing Uzbekistan, waved to the small crowd inside Tokyo’s Ariake Gymnastics Center, made a heart shape with her hands and briefly cried, as she left the sport’s biggest stage for the last time. Born in Uzbek capital Tashkent in 1976, Chusovitina took up gymnastics at age 7. “My mother wanted me to give up gymnastics, she was worried about me all the time. I wanted to prove to her that I was not doing it in vain, and I think I eventually succeeded in that.” Chusovitina said of her childhood. She made her Olympic debut(首次上场)at the 1992 Barcelona Games as part of the gold medal-winning unified team from former Soviet States. Then she represented Uzbekistan, before being granted German citizenship in 2006. She took home a vault silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Games for Germany, but switched back to competing for Uzbekistan in 2013. When Chusovitina’s 3-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病) in 2002, she sold her possessions and used any prize money she earned to pay for his medical treatment. Her switch to German citizenship was motivated by the promise of a higher income and better medical care. After her son’s recovery, Chusovitina continued to compete, but this time it was her love for gymnastics that kept her going. In a sport renowned for its youthful champions, Chusovitina has become a global fan favorite thanks to her longevity. She was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2017, and last year was named the Best Athlete of the Decade (2011-2020) in a public vote held by the National Olympic Committee of Uzbekistan. 41．What can we know about Chusovitina?

According to a survey, only in two states — Alaska and Connecticut — do schools tend to start after 8.30 am, the earliest recommended by many medical organizations. That may soon change. On October 13th California’s governor signed a law which cuts 2.7 million of the state’s schoolchildren some slack, setting a limit on starting times of half past eight for high-schoolers and eight o'clock for middle schoolers, in the hope that pupils will benefit from the extra time in bed. There is plenty of reason to think they will. During puberty (发育期), adolescents are more alert in the afternoon and require more sleep in the morning. A research finds that later school starting times are in line with improved attendance, less tardiness (迟延), less falling asleep in class, better grades. It is estimated that moving to a half-past eight start across the country would boost the economy by more than $80 billion within a decade. In response to the evidence, school districts across the country have begun to move start times back, but California is the first state to take the leap. Parents and unions are often bitterly opposed. The California Teachers Association fiercely resisted the change, citing the financial burden on schools as they adjust to the new hours, as well as the burden on parents who work as laborers or in the service industry. Last year the former governor, Jerry Brown, refused similar legislation (立法), saying the decision should be left to school destricts. Supporters argue that it is appropriate for the state to set a minimum health-and-welfare standard. Anthony Portanino, who introduced the legislation, believes evidence of the change’s benefits will soon win over opponents in rural areas. “There really is no significant reason not to do this,” he says, “other than an overwhelming resistance to change from adults.” Which is an attitude many teenagers will be wearily familiar with. 44．What is the purpose of the law California’s governor signed On October 13th? A．To make sure students get enough sleep. B．To reduce the financial burden on schools. C．To ensure that parents go to work on time. D．To relieve traffic pressure during rush hours. 45．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Many medical organizations recommend school should start before 8:30am. B．Moving start times forward benefits the country greatly in the long run. C．Teachers are optimistic about the change which can relieve their burden. D．Later school starting times make a difference to students’ performance. 46．What is Anthony Portanino’s attitude to the new legislation? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Unconcerned. D．Opposed. 试卷第1页，共3页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解之新闻报道 （一） （23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期末）Several security guards of residential compounds in Beijing and workers were seen shoveling snow and some parked vehicles were covered by thick overnight snow.

The Chinese capital last saw such similarly extremely cold weather on Jan. 7, 2021, when the temperature dropped to -19.6℃. The cold snap (寒潮) in Beijing this week, compared with the autumn-like conditions a week ago, mirrored the sharp swings in temperatures recently. In October, Beijing experienced one of its warmest Octobers in decades in a year of weather extremes. On Monday, the government warned of road icing in large parts of the city of nearly 22 million, with authorities shutting some expressways or partially closing sections. By 10 a. m. local time, 62 out of a few hundred flights had been cancelled at the Beijing Capital Airport. Railway authorities enforced speed limits on lines connecting Beijing and Guangzhou in southern China, causing delays in some passenger trains. By 7 a. m. Monday, more than 180 bus routes in Beijing had been suspended. The official Beijing Daily reported that vegetable stocks were enough, hitting this year’s highest daily market volume of 23,800 tons, as merchants stocked up (备货) ahead of time. Huang, a Beijing resident working in the internet sector, said the snow in Beijing came early. “Normally, it doesn’t snow until the Spring Festival,” Huang said, referring to the start of the Lunar New Year, which typically falls in January or February. 1．Which of the following is not used to show the seriousness of the snowfall in paragraph?

C．From autumn-like conditions to a sudden coldness. D．From constant snow to unexpectedly warm temperatures. 3．Which of the following word is close to the meaning of “enforced” in paragraph 4? A．introduced B．obeyed C．happened D．improved 4．What positive measure did merchants in Beijing take in anticipation of the snowfall? A．Organized community support groups. B．Increased storage of essential supplies. C．Created emergency shelters for the homeless. D．Offered discounts and sales to boost business. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了周一凌晨，中国首都北京迎来了冬季第一场降雪，一夜之间，北京被大雪覆盖，气温降至冰点。本周，中国北方的天气将更加寒冷。文章解释了此次降温的特别之处、影响以及人们的应对方法。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Snowfall reached 5.8 mm on average by early Monday, with the highest snowfall of 10.2 mm recorded in Fangshan district, Beijing Meteorological (气象的) Service data showed. Beijing typically sees its first snow of the season between late November and February, or even none at all. More snowfall is expected this week, with temperatures seen further sliding to as low as -20°Celsius. The Chinese capital last saw such similarly extremely cold weather on Jan. 7, 2021, when the temperature dropped to -19.6℃.(据北京气象局数据显示，周一凌晨，平均降雪量达到5.8毫米，房山区降雪量最大，达到10.2毫米。北京通常在11月下旬至次年2月之间迎来冬季的第一场雪，甚至根本不下雪。预计本周将有更多降雪，气温将进一步下降至零下20摄氏度。中国首都北京上一次出现如此极端寒冷的天气是在2021年1月7日，当时气温降至零下19.6摄氏度)”可知，文章运用了列数字、引用权威的数据和比较，“说明观点”没有被用来表示降雪的严重性。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The cold snap (寒潮) in Beijing this week, compared with the autumn-like conditions a week ago, mirrored the sharp swings in temperatures recently. In October, Beijing experienced one of its warmest Octobers in decades in a year of weather extremes.(本周北京的寒流，与一周前类似秋天的天气相比，反映了最近气温的急剧波动。今年10月，北京经历了几十年来最温暖的10月之一)”可知，北京的天气条件不同之处在于从秋天般的天气到突然的寒冷。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“speed limits on lines connecting Beijing and Guangzhou in southern China, causing delays in some passenger trains”可知，客运列车延误是因为铁路部门对连接北京和广州的铁路实施了限速，故划线词意思是“实施”。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The official Beijing Daily reported that vegetable stocks were enough, hitting this year’s highest daily market volume of 23,800 tons, as merchants stocked up (备货) ahead of time.(官方的《北京日报》报道称，由于商家提前囤货，蔬菜库存充足，达到今年最高的每日市场成交量23800吨)”可知，面对降雪，北京的商家增加了必需品的储存。故选B。 （二） （23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期末）Two very different movies were released on July 21 this summer in the West, bringing record numbers of people into cinemas as the “Barbenheimer (芭比海默)” trend took over social media. Barbie and Oppenheimer have been huge hits around the world, with Barbie alone making over 1 billion US dollars just 17 days after release. This makes it Wamer Bros studio’s fastest movie to reach $1 billion and the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, the first-ever solo female filmmaker with a billion-dollar film. Barbie and Oppenheimer are an interesting pair because of how different they are from one another. Barbie is about a famous toy coming to life and facing issues of sexism and finding her own identity. Meanwhile, Oppenheimer is a serious male-driven historical film about J. Robert Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project and the development of the atomic bomb. The release of these two huge, wildly different movies on the same day led to the creation of countless memes (表情包) under the Barbenheimer hashtag. Filmgoers have even gone to see both movies one right after the other, with some dressing up in pink for Barbie going on to see Oppenheimer as well. Meanwhile, people have found some of the “Barbenheimer” memes disturbing. Atomic bombs killed many people and they think the memes made light of a very dark time in history. But the films have brought a healthy boost to cinema ticket sales around the world, helping an industry that has faced many challenges in recent years. The increasing popularity of streaming services and the COVID-19 pandemic have kept people out of cinemas. Now, the strikes from writers and actors over concerns of pay and about the use of artificial intelligence by film studios are also having an impact. Add to that a public tired of yearly big movies about superheroes and fast cars, as declining ticket sales suggest. Described as a historic moment for the movie industry. “‘Barbenheimer’ will go down as one of the biggest and unexpected milestones in the history of cinema,” Paul Dergarabedian at Comscore told CNN. 5．What made Barbie a significant achievement for Wamer Bros? A．Representing male-driven films. B．Reaching $1 billion in record time. C．Addressing issues about identity. D．Greta Gerwig becoming the director. 6．Why are Barbie and Oppenheimer described as an “interesting pair”? A．They both feature female characters. B．They were released on the same day. C．They have opposite disturbing memes. D．They explore completely different themes. 7．What is the impact of the releases of Barbic and Oppenheimer? A．They have caused a decrease in streaming service. B．They have stimulated cinema ticket sales globally. C．They have motivated people to avoid the cinemas. D．They have sparked controversy regarding sexism. 8．Which challenge has the film industry faced in recent times? A．Increasing costs of film production. B．Conflicts with social media platforms. C．Filmgoers’ preference for superhero movies. D．Disapproval from writers and actors over Al use. 【答案】5．B 6．D 7．B 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了2022年7月21日在西方上映的两部截然不同的电影——《芭比》和《奥本海默》——如何在全球范围内吸引了大量观众进入电影院，创造了票房记录。这一现象被称为“芭比海默”趋势，并在社交媒体上引发了热潮。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“This makes it Wamer Bros studio’s fastest movie to reach $1 billion and the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, the first-ever solo female filmmaker with a billion-dollar film.(这使得它成为华纳兄弟工作室最快达到10亿美元票房的电影，该片的导演格蕾塔·葛韦格成为首位拥有十亿美元票房电影的女性独立电影人)”可知，让芭比成为瓦默兄弟公司的重大成就的是在创纪录的时间内达到10亿美元票房。故选B项。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段“Barbie and Oppenheimer are an interesting pair because of how different they are from one another.(芭比和奥本海默是一对有趣的搭档，因为两者之间风格迥异)”可知，芭比和奥本海默被描述为“有趣的一对”的原因是他们探索完全不同的主题。故选D项。 7．推理判断题。根据第三段“The release of these two huge, wildly different movies on the same day led to the creation of countless memes (表情包) under the Barbenheimer hashtag. Filmgoers have even gone to see both movies one right after the other, with some dressing up in pink for Barbie going on to see Oppenheimer as well(这两部风格迥异、规模庞大的电影在同一天上映，让“芭比海默”这一话题下涌现出无数表情包。影迷们甚至接连观看这两部电影，一些人穿着粉色衣服去看《芭比》，接着又去看《奥本海默》)”以及第四段“But the films have brought a healthy boost to cinema ticket sales around the world, helping an industry that has faced many challenges in recent years(但这两部电影为全球电影票房带来了健康的提振，帮助了这个近年来面临诸多挑战的行业)”可推知，这两部电影的发布刺激了全球电影票的销售。故选B项。 8．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Now, the strikes from writers and actors over concerns of pay and about the use of artificial intelligence by film studios are also having an impact.(现在，编剧和演员因薪资问题和电影制片厂使用人工智能的担忧而进行的罢工也产生了影响)”可知，编剧和演员反对使用人工智能是近年来电影业面临的挑战之一。故选D项。 （三） （23-24高二上·浙江绍兴·期末）Eight scientists were awarded the 2023 Future Science Prize, also called “China’s Nobel Prize”, the first Chinese non-governmental science award jointly initiated by groups of scientists and entrepreneurs (企业家).

The 38-yuan sauce-flavored latte, which Luckin discounted to 19 yuan on the first day of sales, was one of the most popular topics on Chinese social media platform Weibo. Moutai is a colorless spirit that is usually served at banquets (宴会) in China, and drinkers say that the flavor of Moutai latte is similar to soy sauce. The companies said the latte alcohol content was lower than 0.5 percent of its volume. Kweichow Moutai has been looking for ways to be more accessible and appeal to a new generation of users. The company, based in China’s southwestern Guizhou province, also launched a baijiu-infused ice cream last year. With baijiu in it, the new ice cream became a hit. Chinese social media users posted videos of themselves picking up cups of the drink and being told by sales staff that they should not drive after drinking it. By Monday afternoon in Beijing, the app showed buyers would need to wait for more than an hour to pick up their drinks.

She records the details of her daily life. Eventually, the diary comes to a heartbreaking end with the girl shot to death by the Nazis. However, it’s not the story of Anne Frank. This is Renia’s Diary, a journal that spent decades stored away in a safe box. Now it’s coming off the press with the help of Renia’s niece and sister. For a long time, Elizabeth Bellak didn’t even know that her older sister Renia had kept a diary as a teenager in Poland. She was totally stunned that one day in her 50s, someone brought the diary to her. She began to read, but couldn’t get very far —the task proved too painful. Therefore, she just put it in the basement and didn’t think about it. Alexandra Renia Bellak, Elizabeth’s daughter, who was named after her aunt, grew up knowing about the locked diary. As getting older, she became more interested in it. “If I could read this diary, maybe I’ll unearth (揭露) some things from the past,” she thought. Finally, Alexandra got the diary from its hiding place. She turned shocked after reading the first few pages. “It’s the description of a wonderful, intelligent girl who showed great courage in dire circumstances. My aunt’s world comes to life as the diary shifts between the daily concerns of a teenage girl and the war.” Elizabeth and Alexandra are thrilled that Renia’s diary has been published. “It is a story that needs to be heard now more than ever. We should never repeat the same types of racism (种族主义) and prejudice and hate that lead to active violence,” Alexandra says. 17．Why was Renia’s Diary unknown to the world for so many years? A．Alexandra was too afraid to read it. B．It was lost in the war and no one found it. C．The story is not as famous as Anne Frank’s.

One of his videos, which shows him making a fantastic wooden arch bridge, went viral on the platform, gaining more than 42 million views. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge. Grandpa Amu has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. He created a folding stool (凳子) that looked like the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo. “A block of wood transforms into a stool. Genius,” a YouTube user named Rey commented under the video. Li Ziqi, who lives in a picturesque village of southwest China’s Sichuan Province, has made a name for herself by making various Chinese dishes on YouTube since 2016. In her videos, she gracefully works as a farmer, impressing viewers with her understanding of food, nature and Chinese culture while showcasing the charm of Chinese culture in every detail of daily life. Her traditional food preparation craft and Chinese rural lifestyle have attracted 11.1 million subscribers on YouTube. Just like Li Ziqi, Grandpa Amu is also trying to spread unique Chinese techniques to the world. Grandpa Amu’s son and daughter-in-law now work full time on his videos, hoping that the channel’s popularity would help local villagers better sell their farm produce.“ We came up with the idea of making the videos because we wanted to bring our rural culture to others and let people learn about these ancient Chinese techniques,” said Huang Chunmei, Grandpa Amu’s daughter-in-law, in an interview with South China Morning Post.

Over seven years, he walked 48,000 kilometers across six continents and 38 countries - most of it with his dog Savannah. Speaking to CNN, Turcich explained that, after a friend died in an accident at age 17 he started to look at life differently, and decided to go on a journey around the world. It took over eight years of saving and planning before Turcich finally left his home on April 2, 2015 - just before his 26th birthday - on his way to Panama. He had a stroller to carry his hiking equipment, a sleeping bag, a laptop, a camera and a box of food. About four months into the journey, Turcich adopted Savannah from, an animal shelter in Texas. She joined him for the rest of the trip, becoming the first dog to walk around the world. The pair walked around 30-40 kilometers a day, spending most nights camping. Some parts could not be done on foot, however - such as when Turcich and Savannah took a boat from Uruguay to Antarctica. In late 2017, Turcich had to return home to recover from an illness he got while traveling through Ireland and the UK. He and Savannah started walking again in May 2018, going through Europe, North Africa and Turkey before getting stuck in Azerbaijan for six months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were able to travel to Kyrgyzstan before taking a plane to Seattle. From there, he and Savannah walked back to New Jersey. Turcich said the most difficult place to walk through was “desolate“ Wyoming. Now that he’s back home, Turcich says he wants to stay in one place for a while - and write a book about his trip. 29．What led to Turcich’s decision to walk around the world? A．His thoughtful plan before a birthday. B．His different attitude towards travelling. C．The death of his friend at an early age.

Imagine a voice softly telling as listeners close their eyes and snuggle down in their beds. Are you paying attention? Actually, it doesn’t matter. According to the CDC, some 70 million Americans struggle with chronic sleep problems. To help with this, many adults are bringing back bedtime stories through meditation apps. Nearly a third of the Calm app’s 300 bedtime stories, which have been listened to more than 450 million times, are about travel. Some 45% of the bedtime stories on the app Breethe are travel-related. Earlier this year, half of the top 10 bedtime stories were travel-themed. Travel bedtime stories are typically an audio retelling of a trip and rely heavily on descriptions, with occasional surrounding noises like ocean waves, train tracks, or soft music. Train stories are particularly popular at bedtime. “You need movement in a bedtime story—if things are static(静止的), it’s too dull and the listener will get restless,” says Martha Bayless, a professor at the University of Oregon’s Folklore and Public Culture Program. “But the movement has to be non-threatening and soothing. The train is the perfect vehicle for sleep, engaging the senses in a gentle way.” One possible reason why travel bedtime stories calm our brains is “mirror neurons(镜像神经元),” says Rachel Salas, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep and Wellness. “These brain cells might combine our own experiences with someone else’s. For example, a tale of train travel could bring a sense of nostalgia(怀旧)for our own past journeys. The comforting sense of something familiar can help with relaxation and sleep. Additionally, the sound of a train chugging along the tracks serves as a type of white noise that lulls people to sleep,” Salas adds. “In most travel bedtime stories, nothing much happens,” says Bayless. “The bedtime stories are about the quiet period between adventures, which is what sleep is also about.” 33．In which aspect do people benefit from travel tales? A．Promoting sleep. B．Inspiring imagination. C．Improving concentration. D．Gaining travel information. 34．What do the numbers in paragraph 2 mainly indicate? A．Most adults suffer a lot from a lack of sleep. B．Adequate quality sleep is essential to human health. C．Meditation apps help people reduce stress effectively. D．Travel-related bedtime stories are more appealing to listeners. 35．Rachel Salas’s words in paragraph 4 serve as ______. A．evidence of the significance of mirror neurons B．an explanation as to why travel tales help with sleep C．a description of adventurous travel experiences D．an analysis of how sleep affects people’s memory 36．In which section of a newspaper may this article appear? A．Travel. B．Opinion. C．Entertainment. D．Science. 【答案】33．A 34．D 35．B 36．D 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍旅行故事可以帮助人们获得宁静的睡眠并从科学角度解释了它的原因。 33．细节理解题。根据第一段“With the growing trend of listening to stories on meditation apps(冥想应用), travel tales—sometimes featuring surrounding sounds of places such as rainforests in Borneo—are helping people get restful sleep. (随着在冥想应用程序上听故事的趋势越来越大，有时以婆罗洲雨林等地周围的声音为特色的旅行故事正在帮助人们获得宁静的睡眠。)”可知，旅行故事可以帮助人们获得宁静的睡眠。故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据第二段“According to the CDC, some 70 million Americans struggle with chronic sleep problems.

Beginning in July, customers in the United States will see redesigned McCafe cups and delivery seal stickers that features “We Can Do This”，a slogan(口号)created by the US Department of Health and Human Services to promote vaccine confidence. It also includes a website address (vaccines.gov) that directs people to nearby appointments and safety information. The promotion will last several weeks and the slogan will be printed on roughly 50 million cups. Prior to that, McDonald’s said its billboard in New York’s Times Square location will also display vaccine information beginning in mid-May. “We all want to protect ourselves and our loved ones and be together with our communities again,” said Genna Gent, McDonald’s USA vice president for global public policy and government relations. Xavier Becerra, the Health and Human Services secretary, said, “The public-private partnership will help more people make informed decisions about their health and learn about steps they can take to protect themselves and their communities.” McDonald’s wasn’t paid by the government for this promotion, according to a person familiar with the campaign. The “We Can Do This” campaign was announced in March and aimed at encouraging hesitant Americans to get vaccinated. In a Kaiser Family Foundation survey, 47% of people who say they want to “wait and see” before being vaccinated said paid time off to get it would make them more likely to do so, and 39% said a financial allowance of $200 from their employer would work. The US vaccination rate has declined from its peak last month, pushing officials to work out new ideas to further encourage the cautious, hesitant and inaccessible to get vaccinated. So far, more than 150 million people in the US have received at least one dose(剂量) of the vaccine. 37．Why does McDonald’s redesign its Mc Cafe cups? A．To promote its coffee sales. B．To encourage people to get vaccined. C．To raise public safety awareness. D．To bid for government investment. 38．What do we know about the McDonald’s campaign? A．The slogan is to be displayed in mid-May. B．The government provides financial support. C．McDonald’s doubles its efforts for public health. D．McDonald’s assists people in making appointments. 39．What can be inferred about the vaccination rate? A．Employers can play a vital part. B．Government efforts were in vain. C．People’s busy work slows it down. D．Next month will witness an increase. 40．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A government document. B．An advertisement. C．A tourist brochure. D．A newspaper. 【答案】37．B 38．C 39．A 40．D 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。麦当劳正在与白宫合作，在其咖啡杯上推广疫苗接种信息，通过此种行为，鼓励人们去接种疫苗。 37．推理判断题。根据第一段“McDonald’s is partnering with the White House to promote vaccination(疫苗接种)information on its coffee cups as hesitancy grows about taking the potentially life-saving shot.”（麦当劳正与白宫合作，在其咖啡杯上推广疫苗接种信息，因为人们对接种这种可能挽救生命的疫苗越来越犹豫不决。）麦当劳在其咖啡杯上推广疫苗接种信息，可推知重新设计其咖啡杯是为了鼓励人们接种疫苗。故选B。 38．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The promotion will last several weeks and the slogan will be printed on roughly 50 million cups. Prior to that, McDonald’s said its billboard in New York’s Times Square location will also display vaccine information beginning in mid-May. “We all want to protect ourselves and our loved ones and be together with our communities again,” said Genna Gent, McDonald’s USA vice president for global public policy and government relations. ”（宣传活动将持续数周，口号将印在大约5000万个杯子上。在此之前，麦当劳表示，它在纽约时代广场的广告牌也将从5月中旬开始显示疫苗信息。麦当劳美国分公司负责全球公共政策和政府关系的副总裁根特(Genna Gent)说：“我们都想保护自己和我们所爱的人，再次与我们的社区团结在一起。”）可推知，麦当劳为了公共卫生的安全做出了积极地努力。故选C。 39．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In a Kaiser Family Foundation survey, 47% of people who say they want to “wait and see” before being vaccinated said paid time off to get it would make them more likely to do so, and 39% said a financial allowance of $200 from their employer would work. ”（在 Kaiser 家庭基金会的一项调查中，47% 的人说他们想在接种疫苗之前“等等看”，而带薪休假会让他们更有可能（接种疫苗）；39% 的人说雇主给他们200美元的经济补贴会起作用。）可知，在接种疫苗问题上，人们犹豫的缘由在于经济拮据，而雇主若提供带薪休假或经济补贴则会让人们愿意去接种。所以雇主是可以发挥至关重要的作用。故选A。 40．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“McDonald’s is partnering with the White House to promote vaccination(疫苗接种)information on its coffee cups as hesitancy grows about taking the potentially life-saving shot.”（麦当劳正与白宫合作，在其咖啡杯上推广疫苗接种信息，因为人们对接种这种可能挽救生命的疫苗越来越犹豫不决。）可知，麦当劳正在与白宫合作，在其咖啡杯上推广疫苗接种信息，通过此种行为，鼓励人们去接种疫苗。因而文章属于新闻报道，所以文章最有可能在报纸上看到。故选D。 （十一） （22-23高二上·浙江绍兴·期末）Veteran Oksana Chusovitina called time on her legendary career on Sunday night after competing at a record eighth Olympic Games. After failing to secure a spot in Sunday’s vault (跳马) final, the 46-year-old, representing Uzbekistan, waved to the small crowd inside Tokyo’s Ariake Gymnastics Center, made a heart shape with her hands and briefly cried, as she left the sport’s biggest stage for the last time. Born in Uzbek capital Tashkent in 1976, Chusovitina took up gymnastics at age 7. “My mother wanted me to give up gymnastics, she was worried about me all the time. I wanted to prove to her that I was not doing it in vain, and I think I eventually succeeded in that.” Chusovitina said of her childhood. She made her Olympic debut(首次上场)at the 1992 Barcelona Games as part of the gold medal-winning unified team from former Soviet States. Then she represented Uzbekistan, before being granted German citizenship in 2006. She took home a vault silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Games for Germany, but switched back to competing for Uzbekistan in 2013. When Chusovitina’s 3-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病) in 2002, she sold her possessions and used any prize money she earned to pay for his medical treatment. Her switch to German citizenship was motivated by the promise of a higher income and better medical care. After her son’s recovery, Chusovitina continued to compete, but this time it was her love for gymnastics that kept her going. In a sport renowned for its youthful champions, Chusovitina has become a global fan favorite thanks to her longevity. She was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2017, and last year was named the Best Athlete of the Decade (2011-2020) in a public vote held by the National Olympic Committee of Uzbekistan. 41．What can we know about Chusovitina? A．She won a vault silver medal for Uzbekistan in 2008. B．She thought of giving up gymnastics in her childhood. C．She has competed in Olympic Games eight times in total. D．She failed to enter the final in Tokyo Olympics because of her age. 42．Why did Chusovitina switch to German citizenship? A．To fulfill the dream of living abroad. B．To make her son get a better treatment. C．To gain a higher income for a richer life. D．To seek a promising future for her career. 43．Chusovitina can be described as ________.

I wanted to prove to her that I was not doing it in vain, and I think I eventually succeeded in that.(我妈妈想让我放弃体操，她一直担心我。我想向她证明我没有白费力气，我想我最终成功了)”可知她很坚定；倒数第三段“When Chusovitina’s 3-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病) in 2002, she sold her possessions and used any prize money she earned to pay for his medical treatment. Her switch to German citizenship was motivated by the promise of a higher income and better medical care.(2002年，当Chusovitina 3岁的儿子被诊断出患有白血病时，她卖掉了自己的财产，用赚来的所有奖金为儿子支付了治疗费用。她转为德国国籍的动机是希望获得更高的收入和更好的医疗服务)”可知，她对儿子负责。即Chusovitina负责且坚定。故选D。 （十二） （20-21高二上·浙江湖州·期末）School starting times in America vary from an average of 7:48 am in go-getting Mississippi to 8:31 am in late-rising Connecticut. According to a survey, only in two states — Alaska and Connecticut — do schools tend to start after 8.30 am, the earliest recommended by many medical organizations. That may soon change. On October 13th California’s governor signed a law which cuts 2.7 million of the state’s schoolchildren some slack, setting a limit on starting times of half past eight for high-schoolers and eight o'clock for middle schoolers, in the hope that pupils will benefit from the extra time in bed. There is plenty of reason to think they will. During puberty (发育期), adolescents are more alert in the afternoon and require more sleep in the morning. A research finds that later school starting times are in line with improved attendance, less tardiness (迟延), less falling asleep in class, better grades. It is estimated that moving to a half-past eight start across the country would boost the economy by more than $80 billion within a decade. In response to the evidence, school districts across the country have begun to move start times back, but California is the first state to take the leap. Parents and unions are often bitterly opposed. The California Teachers Association fiercely resisted the change, citing the financial burden on schools as they adjust to the new hours, as well as the burden on parents who work as laborers or in the service industry. Last year the former governor, Jerry Brown, refused similar legislation (立法), saying the decision should be left to school destricts. Supporters argue that it is appropriate for the state to set a minimum health-and-welfare standard. Anthony Portanino, who introduced the legislation, believes evidence of the change’s benefits will soon win over opponents in rural areas. “There really is no significant reason not to do this,” he says, “other than an overwhelming resistance to change from adults.” Which is an attitude many teenagers will be wearily familiar with. 44．What is the purpose of the law California’s governor signed On October 13th? A．To make sure students get enough sleep. B．To reduce the financial burden on schools. C．To ensure that parents go to work on time. D．To relieve traffic pressure during rush hours. 45．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Many medical organizations recommend school should start before 8:30am. B．Moving start times forward benefits the country greatly in the long run. C．Teachers are optimistic about the change which can relieve their burden. D．Later school starting times make a difference to students’ performance. 46．What is Anthony Portanino’s attitude to the new legislation? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Unconcerned. D．Opposed. 【答案】44．A 45．D 46．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了加利福尼亚州政府签署了一项法案，延迟上学的时间，而对此法案，人们观点不一。 44．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“On October 13th California’s governor signed a law which cuts 2.7 million of the state’s schoolchildren some slack, setting a limit on starting times of half past eight for high-schoolers and eight o'clock for middle schoolers, in the hope that pupils will benefit from the extra time in bed.(10月13日加州州长签署了一项法律，该法案限制了该州270万学童的上课时间，高中生八点半、初中生八点，希望学生能从额外的睡眠时间中获益)”可知，这个法案的目的是确保学生有足够的睡眠。故选A。 45．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A research finds that later school starting times are in line with improved attendance, less tardiness (迟延), less falling asleep in class, better grades.(一项研究发现，学校上课时间越晚，出勤率越高，迟到越少，上课睡觉越少，成绩越好)”可推断，晚些上课对于学生的表现有影响。故选D。 46．推理判断题。根据最后一段““There really is no significant reason not to do this,” he says, “other than an overwhelming resistance to change from adults.”(他说：“除了成年人对改变的强烈抵制之外，真的没有什么重要的理由不这样做。”)”可推断，他认为这样做很好，支持这样做。故选B。 试卷第1页，共3页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
