专题03 阅读理解20篇(考题猜想) 译林牛津必修第一册、第二册 话题1：学校生活 A (24-25高一上·福建泉州·期中)While parents and educators worry that children have been doing too little exercise, a sixth grade class from the Chaoyang School of the High School in Beijing finished their 100th 5-kilometer morning jogging program on Saturday to celebrate their upcoming graduation. The program, initiated in September 2021 by the class’s parent association, aims to improve students’ physical fitness, perseverance, and endurance. Despite it being difficult at first, students have consistently participated for three years. To enhance their physical fitness, the program is organized every Saturday morning with the guidance of a parent who is selected to be the coach. This practice has not only improved the students’ physical health but also promoted a sense of teamwork among them. National surveys have shown a rapid increase of obesity among children and adolescents (青少年) across the country. Besides weight problems, lack of exercise also leads to the prevalence of myopia (近视) at school. Realizing the possible link between decreasing physical activity and rising health concerns, a series of measures have been released to increase their exercise time. The sixth grade jogging program may provide a solution to help students find time among heavy learning burdens and common electronic screens to experience health and happiness through physical activity. 1. Why did the sixth-grade class complete their 100th 5-kilometer morning jog? A. To win a competition. B. To prepare for a marathon. C. To raise money for a charity. D. To celebrate their upcoming graduation. 2. What benefits does the jogging program have? A. Improve physical health and promote a sense of teamwork. B. Improve physical health and learn some skills of learning. C. Improve physical health and learn some social skills. D. Improve physical health and time management skills. 3. According to the article, what is one reason for the increase in obesity and myopia? A. Eating too much junk food. B. Not getting enough sleep. C. Watching too much TV. D. Lack of exercise. 4. What does the sixth-grade jogging program offer to students? A. A way to reduce their homework burden. B. A chance to improve their exercise skills. C. A way to find time for exercise in their lives.

Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive(认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t bring. Statistically most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down, by hand than on a computer. Handwriting can significantly impact how we absorb and memorize information. The advantages of writing by hand is that it involves a variety of senses in the writing process. “Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex cognitive-motor skill that requires a lot of our attention,” says Mellissa Prunty, a professor at Brunel University in London who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning. “This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children,” Prunty says. To better understand how our senses influence our cognition, Vander Meer and her co-worker looked at brain scans of 36 university students who performed writing tasks. The students were asked to write some words using pen and paper or typing them on a keyboard. Their brain activity during each task was captured through electronicephalogram (EEG) techniques. “The most surprising thing was that the whole brain was active when the students were writing by hand, while much smaller areas were active when they were typewriting,” Vander Meer says. “This suggests that when you are writing by hand you are using most of your brain to get the job done.” In Norway, many schools stopped teaching cursive writing, making pupils write and read on an iPad. Vander Meer hopes to change this trend through her research. “I think we should have at least a minimum of handwriting in primary school curricula simply because it is so good for the developing brain,” she says. 5. Why are people more likely to remember things written by hand than typed on a computer? A. It can activate multiple senses. B. It requires a lot of attention. C. It helps people to learn new words quickly. D. It brings great benefits to our cognitive ability. 6. What does the underlined word “captured” mean in paragraph 4? A. Attracted. B. Recorded. C. Caught. D. Represented. 7. What does van der Meer advise people to do in the future? A. Quit adopting handwriting. B. Write and read on screens. C. Change their writing habits. D. Reserve handwriting practice. 8. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A travel magazine. B. A student textbook. C. A science and education magazine. D. A campus newspaper. C (24-25高一上·山东德州·期中)At a high school in Indiana, a group of students are working on ideas to deal with climate change. One student, Murphy, suggests a large container filled with water that would heat up and produce steam (蒸汽) to power a car. Although the idea has limitations, climate scientist Ben Kravitz appreciates it, saying that steam power, while old, still works. Kravitz developed a lesson with Paul Goddard, a research scientist, and Kirstin Milks, a high school science teacher. The lesson encourages students to think creatively about reducing pollution and solving global warming. Milks believes it’s important for students to not only understand the dangers of climate change but also feel confident to come up with solutions. She says, “These students will lead the future climate work.” The lesson covers the basics of climate change, explaining that burning coal, oil, and gas gives off carbon dioxide (CO2), the main cause of global warming. Kravitz stresses that reducing greenhouse gas emissions (is the only lasting solution, but new technologies, such as wind and solar energy, are needed to make progress. In the meantime, Kravitz and other scientists are exploring ways, such as climate engineering, to reduce the planet’s temperature. Climate engineering includes techniques like reflecting sunlight back into space or removing CO2 from the atmosphere. However, these ways come with risks, such as changing weather systems and rainfall patterns, leading to loss of biodiversity and impacting agriculture. Students are encouraged to think about such challenges when developing their ideas. Through this lesson, Milks hopes to develop in students both awareness and optimism (乐观), showing them that they can play a role in solving global issues. 9. What is Murphy’s idea? A. Design a special car. B. Power cars with steam. C. Discover new energy. D. Make a drinking machine. 10. Why was this lesson developed? A. To equip students for climate action. B. To discuss the benefits of using solar energy. C. To encourage students to stop using coal and gas. D. To explain climate change affects weather systems. 11. What can we know about climate engineering? A. It can absorb the sunlight. B. It can add CO2 to the atmosphere. C. It may enrich the biodiversity. D. It may have effects on agriculture. 12. What is a suitable title for the passage? A. The challenges of climate engineering. B. Students’ contributions to steam power. C. The development of climate-related technologies. D. Students’ creative ideas for a better climate future. 话题2：亲子关系 A (24-25高一上·江苏徐州·期中)It was the third time that Donald left the second foster(寄养的) home, which meant he would change a school again.

I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other. One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. “Sorry, kid, but I’m all done,” I replied. “Oh no…”, cried Matthew. Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!” I caught two pieces of useless wood, “You see this wood here? I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me?” A slight smile was on his face, “Yes!” The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority, worth and a place to belong to. Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday.” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact, the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything. 5.

No television, no heat, no light. No nothing. This was back in the days when people had only radios to listen to. Granddad Charlie gathered up his winter coat, scarf, and gloves, and disappeared into the snow. A few minutes later, he returned, with wood under his arms. Looking at my brother and me, he said, “Come on, boys. Time to build a fire.” But the curiosity for the fire wasn’t enough to keep the attention of a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old boy, and we were soon badgering Grandpa repeatedly as to what was next. “There’s no TV, Grandpa,” I complained, “What are we going to do?” “Let’s go camping.” Grandpa answered. We ran upstairs to get our sleeping bags, pillows, and stuffed animals back. When we returned, Grandpa had rearranged the furniture, clearing an open space in front of the fire. In short order, we had a fine campground. “Now then,” Grandpa began, opening a strange-looking game board, “who’s up for a little game of checkers?” For the next hour or so, Grandpa taught us on the fine art of playing checkers. I became a fair player after losing four games in a row. Then, surprisingly, I beat Grandpa. When I asked him if he had let me win, he merely smiled. Checkers was soon followed up with hangman. Afterward, Grandpa found his old, weathered guitar and sang us some campfire songs, the words to which my brother and I did not know but to which we sang along. And right then, something terrible happened. The power came back on. Mom and Dad gave a cheer. But for my brother and me, it was the end of a grand adventure. We stood there, speechless.

New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity(成熟) and sense of responsibility. A familiar opinion is “You can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.” Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be active. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same. Some people call you their friends for the wrong reasons. These people are not really friends. They are superficial(表面的) only “friends” on the outside, not the inside where it counts. Superficial friends only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “friends” if you are rich.

They feel sad when they don’t think they have any and also worry about the changes in their friendships. Many adults may think that boys don’t need friends as much as girls do. But this is not true. Boys value their friends a lot during childhood and adolescence. They are happier and healthier when they have close relationships with people of the same age. People often think that girls are better at handling relationships. But most boys consider their friends as a very important part of their lives. In fact, boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls. A recent study of children aged 10 to 15 found that girls’ friendships are more easily broken. Girls tend to say and do things that hurt each other more often than boys. And girls feel more hurt when a friendship ends. Boys enjoy playing games with rules, competing, and doing things together. They like, and even need, chances to compare themselves with others. Many long-lasting friendships start in activities like karate (空手道) classes or on basketball courts. Boys respect skill and ability. Being the last one picked for a team or being left out can stay in a boy’s mind for many years. As boys grow older, friendships become even more important. Their friend circle often expands to include girls. During their teenage years, friends can become the most important people in a boy’s life, even more important than his parents. The confusion of being a teenager makes boys form close bonds with their friends. For many boys, a friend is someone who is always there for them, someone they can trust. The friendships among young boys can be very deep. 5. According to the passage, what do many adults think about boys’ need for friends? A. Boys don’t need friends at all. B. Boys need friends more than girls. C. Boys need friends less than girls. D. Boys and girls need friends equally. 6. Who is more likely to have their friendships broken? A. Boys aged 10 to 15 B. Girls aged 10 to 15 C. Boys and girls equally D. Neither boys nor girls 7. What does the author want to prove by mentioning the study in Para. 2? A. Boys may be more active in a friendship. B. Boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls. C. Many people believe girls are better at relationships. D. Most boys consider their friends very important. 8. Why do boys often form close bonds with their friends during their teenage years? A. Because they feel confused and need support. B. Because they enjoy playing sports together. C. Because they want to compete with each other. D. Because they want to learn new skills. C (24-25高一上·陕西汉中·期中)It is often said that you can’t have too many friends. But it seems that there is a natural limit to the number of people we stay in touch with. A study found that when we make new friends, by starting a new job or going to university, we downgrade or even drop old ones. And while the friends may change, the number stays almost the same. Oxford University researcher Felix Reed-Tsochas asked 24 students in the final months of school to list all their friends and relatives and say how close to them they were. The students filled in the questionnaire (问卷)twice more after starting work or going to university. They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called, when and for how long. Putting the two pieces of information together showed, unsurprisingly, that most people have a small circle of close friends, who they spend most of their time talking to. This inner circle is surrounded by group after group of ever more distant friends. As the volunteers’ lives changed, this overall pattern, including the number of best friends, remained almost the same, meaning that some close friends from childhood were dropped or downgraded as new friendships were built. Dr Reed-Tsochas said, “Maybe my best friend is no longer the same person but the amount of time I allocate(分配)to my best friend is still the same.” He added that this finding suggests that even with the coming of modern technology we are only capable of forming a limited number of true friendships. Chester University researcher Dr Sam Roberts said, “Our results are likely to reflect limitations in the ability of humans to keep emotionally close relationships both because of limited time and because the emotional capital(情绪资本)that individuals can allocate between family members and friends is limited.” 9. Which is a method Dr Reed-Tsochas used in his study? A. Checking the volunteers’ call records. B. Learning about the volunteers’ hobbies. C. Tracking the volunteers’ job performance. D. Interviewing the volunteers’ schoolmates. 10. What did the researchers find from the study? A. One’s attitude to friendships remains the same. B. People attach great importance to friendships. C. People rarely drop their old friends to make new ones. D. The number of one’s best friends doesn’t change much. 11. What is the function of the last paragraph? A. To add background information. B. To give a possible explanation. C. To offer some suggestions. D. To introduce a new topic. 12. Where can you read the passage? A. In a travel magazine. B. In a math textbook. C. In a personal diary. D. In a newspaper. 话题4：健康和体育锻炼 A (23-24高一下·山东菏泽·期中)I had always struggled with my body weight since my childhood. Though I was the one who wore a women’s size 16 dress. I had never been teased or bullied(欺凌) in my school thanks to the help of my best friends. After I started to work, I decided to join the gym with my colleague. At the gym, I stepped on the scale to weigh myself. and when 170 pounds hit on the scale, it was the most terrifying moment. I thought after a few months of going to the gym and doing rigorous(严格的) works I would come down to 150 pounds. However, owing to the work stress and lack of time. I had to drop out of my journey. In 2015, I went to a gym again and began my weight loss journey — one that lasted for 12 months and concluded with me losing 20 more pounds so that I could be a bridesmaid(伴娘) of my best friend. I could hit 130 pounds on the scale. Sure I lost some pounds in the journey, however, when I again went to my old habits. I regained all the weight that I had lost. The day I reached my weight back to 150 pounds thanks to all the pizzas, sodas and junk foods. I was set on fire with motivation to change my life. Just as I’d done for the past few years. I again started to go back to the gym this time with determination and healthier eating. A little over a year after I’d started. I stepped on the same scale I’d first weighed myself on. I hit 110 pounds on the scale. It was the most transformative experience of my life — and not simply in the ways one might expect. Even now, when I feel my confidence flagging(衰落) or self-doubt creeping in, I think back to having successfully finished that, and I can draw strength. 1. Why did the author stop going to the gym for the first time? A. She was already satisfied with her weight. B. She had to devote her time to her work. C. She didn’t experience any weight loss. D. She was laughed at by others. 2. What problem did the author face after managing to lose some weight? A. She lost confidence in herself B. She became too busy to work out. C. She developed some new bad habits. D. She had difficulty keeping weight off. 3. What can we learn about the author after her weight loss experience? A. She could be at self-doubt. B. She expected to help others. C. She lost interest in going to the gym. D. She cared more about her appearance. 4. What message does the author’s story want to tell us? A. It’s important to live a full life. B. We should always focus on our weight. C. We should try our best to change our life. D. It requires determination to keep a healthy lifestyle. B The “diet” in diet drinks may be a false promise for some soda lovers. A study published recently in JAMA Network Open adds to the evidence that drinks made with sucralose(蔗糖素) may stimulate the appetite, at least among some people. “We found that females and people with obesity(肥胖) had greater brain reward activity after consuming the artificial sweetener,” says study author Katie Page. “What was most surprising was the impact of body weight and biological sex. They were very important factors in the way that the brain responded to the artificial sweetener.” Both groups also had a reduction in the hormone that inhibits(抑制) appetite, and they ate more food after they consumed drinks with sucralose, compared with after regular sugar-sweetened drinks. In contrast, the study found males and people of healthy weight did not have an increase in either brain reward activity or hunger response, suggesting they’re not affected in the same way. Page and her team measured the response to diet soda in three ways. They used brain images of the 74 study participants to document the activation of parts of the brain linked to appetite. They used blood samples to measure blood sugar and hormones that can drive hunger. And they also tracked how much participants ate at a buffet table at the end of each study session. “These results are consistent with patterns that we’ve actually seen in my lab in animal studies,” says Susan Swithers, a behavioral scientist at Purdue University. “You are supposed to get sugar after something tastes sweet. Your body has been accustomed to that,” explains Swithers. But diet soda may lead to a disconnect. The sugar never arrives, and “that could decrease the body’s efficiency in metabolizing(新陈代谢) sugar the next time.” 5. What did Page find might affect the brain’s response to diet soda? A. The artificial sweetener. B. The drinker’s sex and weight. C. The reduction in hormones. D. The amount of sweet drinks. 6. What can we learn from paragraph four? A. The methods of the study. B. The impacts of diet soda. C. The causes of overeating. D. The responses of participants. 7. What is Swithers’ attitude toward Page’s study? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Unsatisfied. 8. Where can you find this text? A. A story collection. B. A travel journal. C. A consumer guide. D. A health magazine. C 71-year-old, Helen Lloyd Jones from Cardiff recently completed her first marathon and is encouraging others of her age to take up the challenge. “Do it. We only live once,” she said after the event. Helen took up running in her 50’s while working as a teacher. After jogging alongside one of her students during a sports day race, Helen said, “I felt terrible, absolutely terrible. It was a wakeup call and I started to practise jogging.” Helen started attending her local parkrun, but decided she needed a bigger challenge to keep her motivated. Once the idea of running 26.2 came into her head, she was decided, and set her sights on running a larger race, using the support of the crowds to get her round. Helen didn’t tell her husband for the first five months of her training as she knew he’d be worried about the toll the distance might have on her, saying afterwards, “The difference between the man who waved me goodbye and the smiling man who greeted me when I returned was a reflection of how much he had been worrying. But he is very proud of me.” At 71, Helen explains how she didn’t do her training “by the book”. After trying to do a long run, a speed run and a hill run each week, she soon found her body was not able to recover fast enough between sessions. Instead, she chose one long run a week with her local running club Pegasus and friend Sally, so she could feel confident with the distance. A proud grandmother, Helen is I now taking her grandchildren to parkruns and junior parkruns. She hopes that they will remember running with their grandmother when they grow up. Are there more marathons in her future? “I said I would only do the one, but have a feeling that if I got a place in London or New York... I might change my mind.” 9. Why did Helen start to practise jogging? A. To improve her health. B. To take up the challenge. C. To win the respect of her students. D. To set an example to her students. 10. Why didn’t Helen tell her husband about her training for marathon? A. She wanted to surprise her husband. B. She wanted to avoid her husband’s quarrel. C. She was afraid that her husband would be concerned. D. She didn’t wish her husband to understand the hardships. 11. What was as probably Helen’s future plan? A. To run more marathons nonstop. B. To accompany grandchildren every day. C. To run marathons with her grandchildren. D. To continue to run marathons if she can make race rankings. 12. Which of the following can best describe Helen? A. Kind and helpful. B. Athletic and determined. C. Generous and strict. D. Traditional and patient. D Want to reduce your risk of dementia(痴呆)? Start counting your steps — you’ll need between 3,800 and 9,800 each day to reduce your risk of mental decline, according to a new study. People between the ages of 40 and 79 who took 9,826 steps per day were 50% less likely to develop dementia within seven years, the study found. Furthermore, people who walked with “purpose” — at a speed over 40 steps a minute — were able to cut their risk of dementia by 57% with just 6,315 steps a day. Even people who walked about 3,800 steps a day at any speed cut their risk by 25%. “That would be enough, at first, for sedentary(久坐不动) people,” said Cruz, a senior researcher in health sciences. “In fact, it is a message that doctors could use to inspire sedentary older adults — 4,000 steps is achievable by many, even those less fit,” he added. “Perhaps, more active and fitter people should aim for 10,000, where we see the largest effects.” But there was an even more interesting result hidden in the study, according to an article entitled “Is 112 the New 10,000?” The largest reduction(降低) in dementia risk — 62% — was achieved by people who walked at a very easy speed of 112 steps per minute for 30 minutes a day, the study found. Earlier research has marked 100 steps a minute as an easy or middle level of strength. The article argued that people looking to reduce their risk of dementia should focus on their walking speed over their walking distance. “We do agree this is a very interesting finding,” said Cruz. “Our take is that strength of stepping matters! Technology could be used to track not only the number of steps but also the speed and so these types of measures can also be applied in commercial watches. More research is needed on this.” 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Old people are more likely to have dementia. B. Young people had better walk 9,826 steps a day. C. It is harmful for people over 40 to walk too fast. D. It is good for people to walk about 3,800 steps a day. 14. At what speed can you walk with the least risk of dementia? A. About 3,800 steps a day at any speed. B. About 100 steps a minute a day. C. At a speed over 40 steps a minute for 30 minutes a day. D. At a speed of 112 steps a minute for half an hour a day. 15. What will future studies probably focus on about walking? A. The speed. B. The steps. C. The reasons. D. The benefits. 16. What is the main idea of the text? A. Those who keep walking are less likely to develop dementia. B. Walking each day can cut your risk of dementia but speed matters. C. Walk a certain number of steps each day to cut your risk of dementia. D. The more steps you take, the less risk of dementia you suffer from. E Of all the Christmas traditions in my family, the most firmly defended is what’s known as the healthy walk: a non-negotiable walk that takes place in the thin sliver of daylight separating the end of a massive breakfast and the beginning of an even bigger Christmas dinner. I think the origins of the name lie with my late grandmother (who was also fond of healthy 5 a. m. swims in the English Channel well into her 70s), but it was my parents’ generation who first embraced it at Christmas, working out that a walk was essential. Now, as my parents themselves approach their 70s, my brothers and I have taken up the baton(接力棒) enthusiastically. But hiking in the depths of winter isn’t without its risks. There are times when the healthy walk has felt almost a little too healthy — there’s a fine line between the kind of weather my grandmother would have described as pleasant and that which will lead to full-blown hypothermia(体温过低). Getting soaked, suffering frozen fingers and slithering(滑) down a muddy bank on your backside are all risks at Christmas in my family. So far, no-one has ever seriously injured themselves, but whatever Michael Bublé might say, the reality of festive-season walking in the UK is always more “sodden(湿透的) mud patch” than “winter wonderland”. Of course, the risk of being caught out by the elements increases further on longer hikes at this time of year. I’m always amazed that more people don’t do themselves serious damage during ultra-distance winter events. I’m in a we of those (including my sister) who’ve managed to complete things such as the two-day Original Mountain Marathon which takes place in October. In the end, however, the same principle applies to these big events as to our more gentle Christmas Day walk: if you get the right gear(装备), you can handle pretty much anything. 17. What’s the most strictly guarded Christmas custom in the author’s family? A. A great breakfast. B. The healthy walk. C. A big Christmas dinner. D. 5 a. m. swims in the English Channel. 18. Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandmother? A. Kind and caring. B. Successful and rich. C. Determined and energetic. D. Ambitious and generous. 19. What can we infer about the people who complete ultra-distance winter events? A. They should wear proper gear to deal with many things. B. They can handle everything independently. C. They should focus on more gentle activities. D. They are risking their lives unnecessarily. 20. In which section of a website may the text be found? A. Sports. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Science. 话题5：电影文学 A (24-25高一上·江苏连云港·期中)In remote mountains, Zhang Guimei, a determined middle-aged rural teacher, makes her way toward an old village home.

C (24-25高一上·四川眉山·阶段练习)When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me Chinese folk(民间的) stories before bedtime. My mother is an immigrant(移民) from China. She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at first hand, she wanted me to remember it. Of all her stories, my favourites were about Sun Wukong, the monkey king who had many superpowers. Finally, though, I moved on to other kinds of heroes. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought my first American comic book(漫画书). Afterwards Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America took the place of Monkey King in my heart. I became crazy about comic books. I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics. Today I am a professional graphic novelist(图画小说家). My best-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t a direct mixture of my mother’s stories. Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions wholeheartedly. I needed him to emote on my pages. For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic(经典作品)that first told the monkey king’s story. As I read it, I realised that American superheroes hadn’t taken the place of Sun Wukong in my heart after all. Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king. The monkey king’s story has lasted for centuries and travelled across cultures. Journey to the West is the best example of timeless. My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong. 9. What did the author’s mother expect him to do? A. Earn a living by writing. B. Keep their Chinese culture. C. Remember stories she told him. D. Experience Chinese culture first hand. 10. What can be learnt about the book American Born Chinese? A. It encourages people to try their luck abroad. B. It is a best-seller among American born Chinese. C. It is partly inspired by the story of Sun Wukong. D. It reflects the growing pains of American children. 11. Why did the author start to read Journey to the West? A. To study it for the creation of his own works. B. To compare Western classics with Chinese ones. C. To learn the meaning of life in Journey to the West. D. To connect American superheroes with Sun Wukong. 12. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The approach to creating comic books. B. The author’s worry about his mother. C. The author’s memory of his childhood experiences. D. The impact of Sun Wukong on the author’s writing. D (24-25高一上·江苏南京·阶段练习)Roald Hoffmann, a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, poet and playwright(剧作家), is a tireless advocate of the wonders of science and the beauty of chemistry. Hoffmann successfully shares his understanding of science with the public at large through literature, educational television and even the stage. Here is an article he wrote: Around the time of the Industrial Revolution, science left poetry. Nature and the personal became the main playground of the poet. That’s too bad for both scientists and poets, but it leaves lots of open ground for those of us who can move between the two. If one can write poetry about being a tree, why not about being a scientist? It’s experience, a way of life. It’s exciting. The language of science is a language under stress. Words are being made to describe things that seem indescribable in words — equations(方程式), chemical structures and so forth. Words do not, cannot mean all that they stand for, yet they are all we have to describe experience. By being a natural language under tension, the language of science is inherently(内在地) poetic. Emotions emerge shaped as states of matter and more interestingly, matter acts out what goes on in the soul. One thing is certainly not true: that scientists have some greater insight into the workings of nature than poets. Interestingly, I find that many humanists deep down feel that scientists have such inner knowledge that they don’t. Perhaps we scientists do, but in such carefully circumscribed pieces of the universe, poetry flies high, all around the tangible(有形的), in the deep dark, through a world we reveal and make. It should be said that building a career in poetry is much harder than in science. In the best chemical journal in the world, the acceptance rate for full articles is 65%, for communications 35%. In a routine literary journal, far from the best, the acceptance rate for poems is below 5%. Writing has become increasingly important to me. I expect to publish four books for a general or literary audience in the next few years. Science will be involved, but only as a part, a vital part, of the risky project of being human. 13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A way of life. B. The Industrial Revolution. C. The main playground of the poet. D. The separation of science from poetry. 14. What can we learn about science language? A. Humanists never use it. B. It shows scientists' emotions. C. It is a special way of description. D. Its words stand for everything. 15. What method does Roald Hoffmann mainly use to develop the text? A. Comparison and contrast. B. Giving examples. C. Cause and effect. D. Problem and solution. 16. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Science of Poetry B. The Poetic Nature of Science C. The Difference of Nature and Art D. The Development of Science Language 话题6：节日和风俗 A (24-25高一上·陕西咸阳·期中)During the International Labor Day holiday, tourist attractions that offered ancient Chinese or guofeng experiences attracted a lot of people, some of whom wore traditional clothing and makeup to enhance the pleasure of their experiences.

The program, initiated in September 2021 by the class’s parent association, aims to improve students’ physical fitness, perseverance, and endurance. Despite it being difficult at first, students have consistently participated for three years. To enhance their physical fitness, the program is organized every Saturday morning with the guidance of a parent who is selected to be the coach. This practice has not only improved the students’ physical health but also promoted a sense of teamwork among them. National surveys have shown a rapid increase of obesity among children and adolescents (青少年) across the country. Besides weight problems, lack of exercise also leads to the prevalence of myopia (近视) at school. Realizing the possible link between decreasing physical activity and rising health concerns, a series of measures have been released to increase their exercise time. The sixth grade jogging program may provide a solution to help students find time among heavy learning burdens and common electronic screens to experience health and happiness through physical activity. 1.

Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive(认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t bring. Statistically most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down, by hand than on a computer. Handwriting can significantly impact how we absorb and memorize information. The advantages of writing by hand is that it involves a variety of senses in the writing process. “Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex cognitive-motor skill that requires a lot of our attention,” says Mellissa Prunty, a professor at Brunel University in London who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning. “This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children,” Prunty says. To better understand how our senses influence our cognition, Vander Meer and her co-worker looked at brain scans of 36 university students who performed writing tasks. The students were asked to write some words using pen and paper or typing them on a keyboard. Their brain activity during each task was captured through electronicephalogram (EEG) techniques. “The most surprising thing was that the whole brain was active when the students were writing by hand, while much smaller areas were active when they were typewriting,” Vander Meer says. “This suggests that when you are writing by hand you are using most of your brain to get the job done.” In Norway, many schools stopped teaching cursive writing, making pupils write and read on an iPad. Vander Meer hopes to change this trend through her research. “I think we should have at least a minimum of handwriting in primary school curricula simply because it is so good for the developing brain,” she says. 5. Why are people more likely to remember things written by hand than typed on a computer? A. It can activate multiple senses. B. It requires a lot of attention. C. It helps people to learn new words quickly. D. It brings great benefits to our cognitive ability. 6. What does the underlined word “captured” mean in paragraph 4? A. Attracted. B. Recorded. C. Caught. D. Represented. 7. What does van der Meer advise people to do in the future? A. Quit adopting handwriting. B. Write and read on screens. C. Change their writing habits. D. Reserve handwriting practice. 8. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A travel magazine. B. A student textbook. C. A science and education magazine. D. A campus newspaper. 【答案】5. A 6. B 7. D 8. C 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了书写对认知的好处及相关研究，建议人们保留书写练习。 5. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The advantages of writing by hand is that it involves a variety of senses in the writing process. “Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex cognitive-motor skill that requires a lot of our attention,” (手写的好处是在书写过程中涉及到多种感官。“用手指握笔，把笔按在纸上，然后移动我们的手来创造字母和单词，这是一项复杂的认知运动技能，需要我们投入大量的注意力。”)”以及““This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children,” Prunty says.( “这种更深层次的处理，包括将声音映射到字母的构成，已经被证明对儿童的阅读和拼写有帮助，” Prunty说。)”可知，书写的好处在于它在书写的过程中调动了多种感官，用手握笔，在纸上施加压力，移动手部写下字母和单词，是一种复杂的认知运动技能，要求我们高度集中注意力，这种更深层次的处理过程，包括将发音与字母对应起来，已被证实对儿童的阅读和拼写能力大有裨益。说明用手写字的过程是一种复杂的认知运动技能，能调动我们的多种感官。故选A。 6. 词义猜测题。根据第四段“To better understand how our senses influence our cognition, Vander Meer and her co-worker looked at brain scans of 36 university students who performed writing tasks.( 为了更好地理解我们的感官是如何影响我们的认知的，Vander Meer和她的同事对36名完成写作任务的大学生进行了脑部扫描。)”可知，未来更好地理解我们的感官是如何影响我们的认知的，Vander Meer和她的同事对36名完成书写任务的大学生进行了脑部扫描，因此他们在书写时的脑部活动是被EEG技术记录下来。故划线词与B选项“Recorded.(记录)”为同义词。故选B。 7. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think we should have at least a minimum of handwriting in primary school curricula simply because it is so good for the developing brain,( 我认为我们应该在小学课程中至少有一个最起码的书写课程，因为它对大脑发育有好处，)”可知Vander Meer认为在小学课程中应该至少有一个最起码的书写课程，因为这对儿童的大脑发展极为有益，因此其建议人们应该保留书写练习。故选D。 8. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive (认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t bring.(然而，研究表明，把笔写在纸上可以带来数字工具无法带来的认知好处。)”以及通读全文，本文介绍了书写对认知的好处及相关研究，建议人们保留书写练习，由此推断文章应该出自科教类杂志。故选C。 C (24-25高一上·山东德州·期中)At a high school in Indiana, a group of students are working on ideas to deal with climate change. One student, Murphy, suggests a large container filled with water that would heat up and produce steam (蒸汽) to power a car. Although the idea has limitations, climate scientist Ben Kravitz appreciates it, saying that steam power, while old, still works. Kravitz developed a lesson with Paul Goddard, a research scientist, and Kirstin Milks, a high school science teacher. The lesson encourages students to think creatively about reducing pollution and solving global warming. Milks believes it’s important for students to not only understand the dangers of climate change but also feel confident to come up with solutions. She says, “These students will lead the future climate work.” The lesson covers the basics of climate change, explaining that burning coal, oil, and gas gives off carbon dioxide (CO2), the main cause of global warming. Kravitz stresses that reducing greenhouse gas emissions (is the only lasting solution, but new technologies, such as wind and solar energy, are needed to make progress. In the meantime, Kravitz and other scientists are exploring ways, such as climate engineering, to reduce the planet’s temperature. Climate engineering includes techniques like reflecting sunlight back into space or removing CO2 from the atmosphere. However, these ways come with risks, such as changing weather systems and rainfall patterns, leading to loss of biodiversity and impacting agriculture. Students are encouraged to think about such challenges when developing their ideas. Through this lesson, Milks hopes to develop in students both awareness and optimism (乐观), showing them that they can play a role in solving global issues. 9. What is Murphy’s idea? A. Design a special car. B. Power cars with steam. C. Discover new energy. D. Make a drinking machine. 10. Why was this lesson developed? A. To equip students for climate action. B. To discuss the benefits of using solar energy. C. To encourage students to stop using coal and gas. D. To explain climate change affects weather systems. 11. What can we know about climate engineering? A. It can absorb the sunlight. B. It can add CO2 to the atmosphere. C. It may enrich the biodiversity. D. It may have effects on agriculture. 12. What is a suitable title for the passage? A. The challenges of climate engineering. B. Students’ contributions to steam power. C. The development of climate-related technologies. D. Students’ creative ideas for a better climate future. 【答案】9. B 10. A 11. D 12.

I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other. One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. “Sorry, kid, but I’m all done,” I replied. “Oh no…”, cried Matthew. Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!” I caught two pieces of useless wood, “You see this wood here? I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me?” A slight smile was on his face, “Yes!” The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority, worth and a place to belong to. Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday.” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact, the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything. 5. Why did the family eat in the car after work? A. To avoid heavy traffic jams. B. To have extra basketball classes. C. To remove the trouble of cooking. D. To have more time with family members. 6.

We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other. (我还记得那些日子，我们下班后在车里匆匆吃了顿饭，然后努力弄清楚我们要去看哪场足球比赛、篮球比赛或家庭活动。我们只是有意地创造了家庭时间来彼此交流。)”可知，作者一家选择在车里吃饭是为了能有更多的时间陪伴家人。故选D。 6. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me.

In fact, the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything.

The snowstorm hit, cutting off our power. So, though it was around noon, we were put into darkness. No television, no heat, no light. No nothing. This was back in the days when people had only radios to listen to. Granddad Charlie gathered up his winter coat, scarf, and gloves, and disappeared into the snow. A few minutes later, he returned, with wood under his arms. Looking at my brother and me, he said, “Come on, boys. Time to build a fire.” But the curiosity for the fire wasn’t enough to keep the attention of a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old boy, and we were soon badgering Grandpa repeatedly as to what was next. “There’s no TV, Grandpa,” I complained, “What are we going to do?” “Let’s go camping.” Grandpa answered. We ran upstairs to get our sleeping bags, pillows, and stuffed animals back. When we returned, Grandpa had rearranged the furniture, clearing an open space in front of the fire. In short order, we had a fine campground. “Now then,” Grandpa began, opening a strange-looking game board, “who’s up for a little game of checkers?” For the next hour or so, Grandpa taught us on the fine art of playing checkers. I became a fair player after losing four games in a row. Then, surprisingly, I beat Grandpa. When I asked him if he had let me win, he merely smiled. Checkers was soon followed up with hangman. Afterward, Grandpa found his old, weathered guitar and sang us some campfire songs, the words to which my brother and I did not know but to which we sang along. And right then, something terrible happened. The power came back on. Mom and Dad gave a cheer. But for my brother and me, it was the end of a grand adventure. We stood there, speechless. Grandpa looked at us, smiled, and then slowly, he walked across the room and turned the light off. 9. What does the underlined word “badgering” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Disturbing. B. Promising. C. Suggesting. D. Thanking. 10. How did the author and his brother feel when the power came back? A. Bored. B. Delighted. C. Confused. D. Disappointed. 11. Which of the following best describes Grandpa?

They are superficial(表面的) only “friends” on the outside, not the inside where it counts. Superficial friends only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “friends” if you are rich. By this time you should be able to recognize your friends as the real or the “phoney”. True friends are most special. Sometimes they might not easy to find, so you can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is happy to help you whenever necessary.

They feel sad when they don’t think they have any and also worry about the changes in their friendships. Many adults may think that boys don’t need friends as much as girls do. But this is not true. Boys value their friends a lot during childhood and adolescence. They are happier and healthier when they have close relationships with people of the same age. People often think that girls are better at handling relationships. But most boys consider their friends as a very important part of their lives. In fact, boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls. A recent study of children aged 10 to 15 found that girls’ friendships are more easily broken. Girls tend to say and do things that hurt each other more often than boys. And girls feel more hurt when a friendship ends. Boys enjoy playing games with rules, competing, and doing things together. They like, and even need, chances to compare themselves with others. Many long-lasting friendships start in activities like karate (空手道) classes or on basketball courts. Boys respect skill and ability. Being the last one picked for a team or being left out can stay in a boy’s mind for many years. As boys grow older, friendships become even more important. Their friend circle often expands to include girls. During their teenage years, friends can become the most important people in a boy’s life, even more important than his parents. The confusion of being a teenager makes boys form close bonds with their friends. For many boys, a friend is someone who is always there for them, someone they can trust. The friendships among young boys can be very deep. 5. According to the passage, what do many adults think about boys’ need for friends? A. Boys don’t need friends at all. B. Boys need friends more than girls. C. Boys need friends less than girls. D. Boys and girls need friends equally. 6. Who is more likely to have their friendships broken? A. Boys aged 10 to 15 B. Girls aged 10 to 15 C. Boys and girls equally D. Neither boys nor girls 7. What does the author want to prove by mentioning the study in Para. 2? A. Boys may be more active in a friendship. B. Boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls. C. Many people believe girls are better at relationships. D. Most boys consider their friends very important. 8. Why do boys often form close bonds with their friends during their teenage years? A. Because they feel confused and need support. B. Because they enjoy playing sports together. C. Because they want to compete with each other. D. Because they want to learn new skills. 【答案】5. C 6. B 7. B 8. A 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了男孩子们对友谊的态度。男孩子与女孩子一样需要友谊，而且可能比女孩子更善于维持友谊，随着年龄的增长，他们也将友谊看得越来越重要。 5. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many adults may think that boys don’t need friends as much as girls do.(许多成年人可能认为男孩不像女孩那样需要朋友。)”可知，成年人认为男孩不像女孩那样重视友谊，故选C项。 6. 细节理解题。根据第二段的“A recent study of children aged 10 to 15 found that girls’ friendships are more easily broken.( 最近一项针对10至15岁儿童的研究发现，女孩的友谊更容易破裂。)”可知，10到15岁的女孩更容易导致友谊破裂。故选B。 7. 推理判断题。根据第二段的“In fact, boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls. A recent study of children aged 10 to 15 found that girls’ friendships are more easily broken. Girls tend to say and do things that hurt each other more often than boys. And girls feel more hurt when a friendship ends.(事实上，男孩可能比女孩更善于维持友谊。最近一项针对10至15岁儿童的研究发现，女孩的友谊更容易破裂。女孩比男孩更容易说出和做出伤害对方的事情。当一段友谊结束时，女孩会感到更受伤。)”可知，该研究显示女孩的友谊更容易破裂，并解释了其原因，由此可推知，提到这项研究是想证实男孩比女孩更善于保持友谊。故选B。 8. 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“During their teenage years, friends can become the most important people in a boy’s life, even more important than his parents.

The friendships among young boys can be very deep.( 在青少年时期，朋友可能成为男孩生命中最重要的人，甚至比他的父母更重要。青少年时期的困惑使男孩们与朋友们建立了密切的联系。对许多男孩来说，朋友是一个总是在他们身边，他们可以信任的人。小男孩之间的友谊可以非常深厚。)”可知，青少年时期的困惑促使男孩与朋友形成紧密的联系，以寻求支持。故选A。 C (24-25高一上·陕西汉中·期中)It is often said that you can’t have too many friends. But it seems that there is a natural limit to the number of people we stay in touch with. A study found that when we make new friends, by starting a new job or going to university, we downgrade or even drop old ones. And while the friends may change, the number stays almost the same. Oxford University researcher Felix Reed-Tsochas asked 24 students in the final months of school to list all their friends and relatives and say how close to them they were. The students filled in the questionnaire (问卷)twice more after starting work or going to university. They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called, when and for how long. Putting the two pieces of information together showed, unsurprisingly, that most people have a small circle of close friends, who they spend most of their time talking to. This inner circle is surrounded by group after group of ever more distant friends. As the volunteers’ lives changed, this overall pattern, including the number of best friends, remained almost the same, meaning that some close friends from childhood were dropped or downgraded as new friendships were built. Dr Reed-Tsochas said, “Maybe my best friend is no longer the same person but the amount of time I allocate(分配)to my best friend is still the same.” He added that this finding suggests that even with the coming of modern technology we are only capable of forming a limited number of true friendships. Chester University researcher Dr Sam Roberts said, “Our results are likely to reflect limitations in the ability of humans to keep emotionally close relationships both because of limited time and because the emotional capital(情绪资本)that individuals can allocate between family members and friends is limited.” 9. Which is a method Dr Reed-Tsochas used in his study? A. Checking the volunteers’ call records. B. Learning about the volunteers’ hobbies. C. Tracking the volunteers’ job performance. D. Interviewing the volunteers’ schoolmates. 10. What did the researchers find from the study? A. One’s attitude to friendships remains the same. B. People attach great importance to friendships. C. People rarely drop their old friends to make new ones. D. The number of one’s best friends doesn’t change much. 11. What is the function of the last paragraph? A. To add background information. B. To give a possible explanation. C. To offer some suggestions. D. To introduce a new topic. 12. Where can you read the passage? A. In a travel magazine. B. In a math textbook. C. In a personal diary. D. In a newspaper. 【答案】9. A 10. D 11. B 12. D 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人类社交关系中的朋友数量限制问题。文章通过引用牛津大学和切斯特大学的研究，说明了人们在建立新友谊的同时，往往会降级或放弃旧友谊，但最亲密的朋友数量却保持相对稳定。 9. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They were also given free mobile phones and agreed that researchers could use their bills to work out who they called, when and for how long.(他们还获得了免费的手机，并同意研究人员可以使用他们的账单来确定他们给谁打了电话，什么时候打的，以及打了多久)”可知，检查志愿者的通话记录是Dr Reed-Tsochas在他的研究中使用的方法。故选A。 10. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As the volunteers’ lives changed, this overall pattern, including the number of best friends, remained almost the same, meaning that some close friends from childhood were dropped or downgraded as new friendships were built.(随着志愿者们生活的变化，这种总体模式，包括最好的朋友的数量，几乎保持不变，这意味着在建立新友谊的同时，一些儿时的亲密朋友被放弃或降级了)”可知，一个人最好的朋友的数量没有太大变化是研究人员从研究中发现的内容。故选D。 11. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Chester University researcher Dr Sam Roberts said, “Our results are likely to reflect limitations in the ability of humans to keep emotionally close relationships both because of limited time and because the emotional capital (情绪资本) that individuals can allocate between family members and friends is limited. ”(切斯特大学的研究者Sam Roberts博士说：“我们的结果可能反映了人类在保持情感亲密关系方面的能力有限，这既是因为时间有限，也是因为个人能在家庭成员和朋友之间分配的情绪资本有限。”)”可知，该段通过引用另一位研究者的观点，对文章前面提到的研究结果进行了解释，说明了为什么人们的好朋友数量会保持稳定。由此可知，最后一段的功能是给出一个可能的解释。故选B。 12. 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要探讨了人类社交关系中的朋友数量限制问题，这是一个科学研究的话题，通常会在报纸上报道或讨论。因此，D选项(在报纸上)是你可以阅读这篇文章的合适地方。故选D。 话题4：健康和体育锻炼 A (23-24高一下·山东菏泽·期中)I had always struggled with my body weight since my childhood.

I regained all the weight that I had lost.(2015年，我又去了健身房，开始了我的减肥之旅——这个减肥之旅持续了12个月，最后我又减掉了20磅，这样我就可以做我最好朋友的伴娘了。我的体重可以达到130磅。当然，我在旅途中减掉了一些磅，然而，当我又回到我的老习惯。我减掉的体重又全部恢复了)”可知，作者在成功减肥后很难保持体重。故选D。 3. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Even now, when I feel my confidence flagging (衰落) or self-doubt creeping in, I think back to having successfully finished that, and I can draw strength.(即使是现在，当我感到信心低落或自我怀疑时，我也会回想起曾经成功地完成了那件事，我可以从中汲取力量)”可知，作者的减肥经历后可能会自我怀疑。故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“I again started to go back to the gym this time with determination and healthier eating.(我再次开始回到健身房，这一次带着决心和更健康的饮食)”结合文章主要讲述了作者的减肥经历，作者经历了许多次减肥，虽然很多都失败了，但是作者从中也得到了力量。可知，作者的故事想要告诉我们保持健康的生活方式需要决心。故选D。 B The “diet” in diet drinks may be a false promise for some soda lovers. A study published recently in JAMA Network Open adds to the evidence that drinks made with sucralose(蔗糖素) may stimulate the appetite, at least among some people. “We found that females and people with obesity(肥胖) had greater brain reward activity after consuming the artificial sweetener,” says study author Katie Page. “What was most surprising was the impact of body weight and biological sex. They were very important factors in the way that the brain responded to the artificial sweetener.” Both groups also had a reduction in the hormone that inhibits(抑制) appetite, and they ate more food after they consumed drinks with sucralose, compared with after regular sugar-sweetened drinks. In contrast, the study found males and people of healthy weight did not have an increase in either brain reward activity or hunger response, suggesting they’re not affected in the same way. Page and her team measured the response to diet soda in three ways. They used brain images of the 74 study participants to document the activation of parts of the brain linked to appetite. They used blood samples to measure blood sugar and hormones that can drive hunger. And they also tracked how much participants ate at a buffet table at the end of each study session. “These results are consistent with patterns that we’ve actually seen in my lab in animal studies,” says Susan Swithers, a behavioral scientist at Purdue University. “You are supposed to get sugar after something tastes sweet. Your body has been accustomed to that,” explains Swithers. But diet soda may lead to a disconnect. The sugar never arrives, and “that could decrease the body’s efficiency in metabolizing(新陈代谢) sugar the next time.” 5. What did Page find might affect the brain’s response to diet soda? A. The artificial sweetener. B. The drinker’s sex and weight. C. The reduction in hormones. D. The amount of sweet drinks. 6. What can we learn from paragraph four? A. The methods of the study. B. The impacts of diet soda. C. The causes of overeating. D. The responses of participants. 7. What is Swithers’ attitude toward Page’s study? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Unsatisfied. 8. Where can you find this text? A. A story collection. B. A travel journal. C. A consumer guide. D. A health magazine. 【答案】5. B 6. A 7. B 8. D 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了最新研究表明喝无糖汽水不但不会减肥，反而会刺激女性和肥胖者的食欲，吃得更多。 5. 细节理解题。根据第二段“ “We found that females and people with obesity (肥胖)  had greater brain reward activity after consuming the artificial sweetener,” says study author Katie Page. “What was most surprising was the impact of body weight and biological sex. They were very important  factors in the way that the brain responded to the artificial  sweetener.”(“我们发现女性和肥胖者在食用人工甜味剂后，大脑的奖励活动更大，”研究报告的作者凯蒂·佩奇说。“最令人惊讶的是体重和生理性别的影响。它们是大脑对人工甜味剂做出反应的重要因素。”)”可知，佩奇的研究结果表明体重和性别是影响大脑对人造甜味剂反应的两个重要因素。故选B项。 6. 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Page and her team measured the response to diet soda in three ways. They used brain images of the 74 study participants to record the activities of parts of the brain linked to appetite. They used blood samples to measure blood sugar and hormones that can drive hunger. And they also tracked how much participants ate at a buffet table at the end of each study session.(佩奇和她的团队用三种方式测量了人们对无糖汽水的反应。他们使用74名研究参与者的大脑图像来记录大脑中与食欲有关的部分的活动。他们使用血液样本来测量血糖和能导致饥饿感的激素。他们还追踪了参与者在每次学习结束时在自助餐桌上吃了多少)”可知，本段主要介绍了佩奇使用了三种方法来测量大脑对无糖汽水的反应，所以从本段我们可以了解到其研究方法。故选A项。 7. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““These results are consistent with patterns that we’ve actually seen in my lab in animal studies,” says Susan Swithers, a behavioral scientist at Purdue University.(“这些结果与我们在实验室的动物研究中实际看到的模式一致，”普渡大学的行为科学家苏珊·斯威瑟斯说)”可知，斯威瑟斯认为佩奇的研究与自己在实验室的动物研究中看到的模式一致。由此推知，她认可佩奇的研究。故选B项。 8. 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“The “diet” in diet drinks may be a false promise for some soda lovers. A study published recently in JAMA Network Open adds to the evidence that drinks made with sucralose (蔗糖素) may stimulate the appetite, at least among some people.(对于一些苏打爱好者来说，无糖饮料中的“减肥”可能是一个虚假的承诺。最近发表在《美国医学会杂志网络公开版》上的一项研究进一步证明，用三氯蔗糖制成的饮料可能会刺激食欲，至少对某些人来说是这样)”可知，文章介绍了关于无糖汽水的最新研究成果。无糖汽水会使女性和肥胖消费 者吃的更多，起不到减肥效果。由此推知，文章可能出自与健康相关的杂志。故选D项。 C 71-year-old, Helen Lloyd Jones from Cardiff recently completed her first marathon and is encouraging others of her age to take up the challenge. “Do it. We only live once,” she said after the event. Helen took up running in her 50’s while working as a teacher. After jogging alongside one of her students during a sports day race, Helen said, “I felt terrible, absolutely terrible. It was a wakeup call and I started to practise jogging.” Helen started attending her local parkrun, but decided she needed a bigger challenge to keep her motivated. Once the idea of running 26.2 came into her head, she was decided, and set her sights on running a larger race, using the support of the crowds to get her round. Helen didn’t tell her husband for the first five months of her training as she knew he’d be worried about the toll the distance might have on her, saying afterwards, “The difference between the man who waved me goodbye and the smiling man who greeted me when I returned was a reflection of how much he had been worrying. But he is very proud of me.” At 71, Helen explains how she didn’t do her training “by the book”. After trying to do a long run, a speed run and a hill run each week, she soon found her body was not able to recover fast enough between sessions. Instead, she chose one long run a week with her local running club Pegasus and friend Sally, so she could feel confident with the distance. A proud grandmother, Helen is I now taking her grandchildren to parkruns and junior parkruns. She hopes that they will remember running with their grandmother when they grow up. Are there more marathons in her future? “I said I would only do the one, but have a feeling that if I got a place in London or New York... I might change my mind.” 9. Why did Helen start to practise jogging? A. To improve her health. B. To take up the challenge. C. To win the respect of her students. D. To set an example to her students. 10. Why didn’t Helen tell her husband about her training for marathon? A. She wanted to surprise her husband. B. She wanted to avoid her husband’s quarrel. C.

It was a wakeup call and I started to practise jogging.”(在一天的运动比赛中，海伦和她的一个学生一起慢跑，她说:“我感觉很糟糕，非常糟糕。这是一个警钟，我开始练习慢跑。”)”可知，海伦开始练习慢跑是为了改善她的健康。故选A。 10. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Helen didn’t tell her husband for the first five months of her training as she knew he’d be worried about the toll the distance might have on her(海伦在训练的前五个月没有告诉她的丈夫，因为她知道他会担心这段距离可能会对她造成伤害)”可知，海伦不告诉她丈夫她参加马拉松训练的事是因为她担心她丈夫会担心。故选C。 11. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Are there more marathons in her future? “I said I would only do the one, but have a feeling that if I got a place in London or New York... I might change my mind.”(她未来还会参加更多马拉松比赛吗？“我说过我只参加一次，但我有种感觉，如果我在伦敦或纽约拿到名次……我可能会改变主意”)”可知，海伦未来的计划可能是如果她能进入比赛排名，她将继续参加马拉松比赛。故选D。 12. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Helen started attending her local parkrun, but decided she needed a bigger challenge to keep her motivated.(海伦开始参加当地的公园跑步，但她决定需要一个更大的挑战来保持动力)”以及倒数第二段“After trying to do a long run, a speed run and a hill run each week, she soon found her body was not able to recover fast enough between sessions. Instead, she chose one long run a week with her local running club Pegasus and friend Sally, so she could feel confident with the distance.(在尝试每周进行一次长跑、一次速度跑和一次爬坡跑之后，她很快发现自己的身体无法在两次训练之间足够快地恢复。相反，她选择了每周一次与当地的跑步俱乐部Pegasus和朋友Sally一起长跑，这样她就可以对距离感到自信)”可知，海伦身体活跃，有决心。故选B。 D Want to reduce your risk of dementia(痴呆)? Start counting your steps — you’ll need between 3,800 and 9,800 each day to reduce your risk of mental decline, according to a new study. People between the ages of 40 and 79 who took 9,826 steps per day were 50% less likely to develop dementia within seven years, the study found. Furthermore, people who walked with “purpose” — at a speed over 40 steps a minute — were able to cut their risk of dementia by 57% with just 6,315 steps a day. Even people who walked about 3,800 steps a day at any speed cut their risk by 25%. “That would be enough, at first, for sedentary(久坐不动) people,” said Cruz, a senior researcher in health sciences. “In fact, it is a message that doctors could use to inspire sedentary older adults — 4,000 steps is achievable by many, even those less fit,” he added. “Perhaps, more active and fitter people should aim for 10,000, where we see the largest effects.” But there was an even more interesting result hidden in the study, according to an article entitled “Is 112 the New 10,000?” The largest reduction(降低) in dementia risk — 62% — was achieved by people who walked at a very easy speed of 112 steps per minute for 30 minutes a day, the study found. Earlier research has marked 100 steps a minute as an easy or middle level of strength. The article argued that people looking to reduce their risk of dementia should focus on their walking speed over their walking distance. “We do agree this is a very interesting finding,” said Cruz. “Our take is that strength of stepping matters! Technology could be used to track not only the number of steps but also the speed and so these types of measures can also be applied in commercial watches. More research is needed on this.” 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Old people are more likely to have dementia. B. Young people had better walk 9,826 steps a day. C. It is harmful for people over 40 to walk too fast. D. It is good for people to walk about 3,800 steps a day. 14. At what speed can you walk with the least risk of dementia? A. About 3,800 steps a day at any speed. B. About 100 steps a minute a day. C. At a speed over 40 steps a minute for 30 minutes a day. D. At a speed of 112 steps a minute for half an hour a day. 15. What will future studies probably focus on about walking? A. The speed. B. The steps. C. The reasons. D. The benefits. 16. What is the main idea of the text? A. Those who keep walking are less likely to develop dementia. B. Walking each day can cut your risk of dementia but speed matters. C. Walk a certain number of steps each day to cut your risk of dementia. D. The more steps you take, the less risk of dementia you suffer from. 【答案】13. D 14. D 15. A 16. B 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。新的研究发现，每天步行可以降低患痴呆症的风险，然而速度很重要。文章对此进行了详细介绍。 13. 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Even people who walked about 3,800 steps a day at any speed cut their risk by 25%.(即使是每天以任何速度走3800步左右的人，患病风险也会降低25%。)”可知，从第二段中可以了解到每天走3800步左右对人是有益的。故选D。 14. 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“The largest reduction (降低) in dementia risk — 62% — was achieved by people who walked at a very easy speed of 112 steps per minute for 30 minutes a day, the study found.(研究发现，每天以每分钟112步的轻松速度步行30分钟的人患痴呆症的风险降低幅度最大，达到62%。)”可知，以每分钟112步的速度、每天半小时可以将患痴呆症的风险降到最低。故选D。 15. 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的“Technology could be used to track not only the number of steps but also the speed and so these types of measures can also be applied in commercial watches. More research is needed on this.(技术不仅可以用于跟踪步数，还可以用于跟踪速度，因此这些类型的测量也可以应用于商业手表。这方面需要更多的研究。)”可知，未来的研究可能会关注步行的速度。故选A。 16. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Want to reduce your risk of dementia (痴呆)? Start counting your steps — you’ll need between 3,800 and 9,800 each day to reduce your risk of mental decline, according to a new study.(想要降低患痴呆症的风险？开始计算你的步数——根据一项新的研究，你每天需要走3800到9800步才能降低智力下降的风险。)”和第六段“The article argued that people looking to reduce their risk of dementia should focus on their walking speed over their walking distance.(这篇文章认为，希望降低患痴呆症风险的人应该关注他们的步行速度而不是步行距离。)”可知，文章主要是讲每天步行可以降低患痴呆症的风险，但速度很重要。故选B。 E Of all the Christmas traditions in my family, the most firmly defended is what’s known as the healthy walk: a non-negotiable walk that takes place in the thin sliver of daylight separating the end of a massive breakfast and the beginning of an even bigger Christmas dinner. I think the origins of the name lie with my late grandmother (who was also fond of healthy 5 a. m. swims in the English Channel well into her 70s), but it was my parents’ generation who first embraced it at Christmas, working out that a walk was essential. Now, as my parents themselves approach their 70s, my brothers and I have taken up the baton(接力棒) enthusiastically. But hiking in the depths of winter isn’t without its risks. There are times when the healthy walk has felt almost a little too healthy — there’s a fine line between the kind of weather my grandmother would have described as pleasant and that which will lead to full-blown hypothermia(体温过低). Getting soaked, suffering frozen fingers and slithering(滑) down a muddy bank on your backside are all risks at Christmas in my family. So far, no-one has ever seriously injured themselves, but whatever Michael Bublé might say, the reality of festive-season walking in the UK is always more “sodden(湿透的) mud patch” than “winter wonderland”. Of course, the risk of being caught out by the elements increases further on longer hikes at this time of year. I’m always amazed that more people don’t do themselves serious damage during ultra-distance winter events. I’m in a we of those (including my sister) who’ve managed to complete things such as the two-day Original Mountain Marathon which takes place in October. In the end, however, the same principle applies to these big events as to our more gentle Christmas Day walk: if you get the right gear(装备), you can handle pretty much anything. 17. What’s the most strictly guarded Christmas custom in the author’s family? A. A great breakfast. B. The healthy walk. C. A big Christmas dinner. D. 5 a. m. swims in the English Channel. 18. Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandmother? A. Kind and caring. B. Successful and rich. C. Determined and energetic. D. Ambitious and generous. 19. What can we infer about the people who complete ultra-distance winter events? A. They should wear proper gear to deal with many things. B. They can handle everything independently. C. They should focus on more gentle activities. D. They are risking their lives unnecessarily. 20. In which section of a website may the text be found? A. Sports. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Science. 【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. A 【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者一家人在圣诞节传统中，最坚决捍卫的是所谓的健康散步，以及后来作者成功地完成了10月份举行的为期两天的原始山地马拉松(Original Mountain Marathon)的故事。 17. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Of all the Christmas traditions in my family, the most firmly defended is what’s known as the healthy walk: a non-negotiable walk that takes place in the thin sliver of daylight separating the end of a massive breakfast and the beginning of an even bigger Christmas dinner.”(在我们家所有的圣诞节传统中，最坚决捍卫的是所谓的健康散步：在一顿丰盛的早餐结束和一顿更丰盛的圣诞晚餐开始之间的微弱日光中进行的一种不可讨价还价的散步。)可知，在作者的家庭中最严格的圣诞节习俗是.健康的散步。故选B项。 18. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I think the origins of the name lie with my late grandmother (who was also fond of healthy 5 a. m. swims in the English Channel well into her 70s), but it was my parents’ generation who first embraced it at Christmas, working out that a walk was essential”(我认为这个名字的起源与我已故的祖母有关(她也喜欢在早上5点到英吉利海峡游泳，一直到70多岁)，但我父母那一代人是在圣诞节第一次接受这个名字的，他们发现散步是必不可少的。)可推知，祖母是一个有决心且精力充沛的人。故选C项。 19. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the end, however, the same principle applies to these big events as to our more gentle Christmas Day walk: if you get the right gear, you can handle pretty much anything.”(然而，最后，同样的原则适用于这些大型活动，就像我们更温和的圣诞节散步一样；如果你有合适的装备，你几乎可以处理任何事情。)可知，对于那些完成超长距离冬季项目的人，我们能推断出他们应该穿戴合适的装备来处理很多事情。故选A项。 20. 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Of all the Christmas traditions in my family, the most firmly defended is what’s known as the healthy walk: a non-negotiable walk that takes place in the thin sliver of daylight separating the end of a massive breakfast and the beginning of an even bigger Christmas dinner.”(在我们家所有的圣诞节传统中，最坚决捍卫的是所谓的健康散步：在一顿丰盛的早餐结束和一顿更丰盛的圣诞晚餐开始之间的微弱日光中进行的一种不可讨价还价的散步。)和最后一段中“Of course, the risk of being caught out by the elements increases further on longer hikes at this time of year. I’m always amazed that more people don’t do themselves serious damage during ultra-distance winter events.”(当然，在每年的这个时候，如果远足时间更长，被恶劣天气困住的风险会进一步增加。我一直很惊讶，更多的人在超长距离冬季比赛中没有严重伤害自己。)可知，文章主要讲的是作者一家人在圣诞节传统中，最坚决捍卫的是所谓的健康散步，以及后来作者成功地完成了10月份举行的为期两天的原始山地马拉松(Original Mountain Marathon)的故事。由此可推知，这篇文章可能来自网站的运动板块。故选A项。 话题5：电影文学 A (24-25高一上·江苏连云港·期中)In remote mountains, Zhang Guimei, a determined middle-aged rural teacher, makes her way toward an old village home.

My mother is an immigrant(移民) from China. She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at first hand, she wanted me to remember it. Of all her stories, my favourites were about Sun Wukong, the monkey king who had many superpowers. Finally, though, I moved on to other kinds of heroes. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought my first American comic book(漫画书). Afterwards Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America took the place of Monkey King in my heart. I became crazy about comic books. I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics. Today I am a professional graphic novelist(图画小说家). My best-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t a direct mixture of my mother’s stories. Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions wholeheartedly. I needed him to emote on my pages. For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic(经典作品)that first told the monkey king’s story. As I read it, I realised that American superheroes hadn’t taken the place of Sun Wukong in my heart after all. Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king. The monkey king’s story has lasted for centuries and travelled across cultures. Journey to the West is the best example of timeless. My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong. 9. What did the author’s mother expect him to do? A. Earn a living by writing. B. Keep their Chinese culture. C. Remember stories she told him. D. Experience Chinese culture first hand. 10. What can be learnt about the book American Born Chinese? A. It encourages people to try their luck abroad. B. It is a best-seller among American born Chinese. C. It is partly inspired by the story of Sun Wukong. D. It reflects the growing pains of American children. 11. Why did the author start to read Journey to the West? A. To study it for the creation of his own works. B. To compare Western classics with Chinese ones. C. To learn the meaning of life in Journey to the West. D. To connect American superheroes with Sun Wukong. 12. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The approach to creating comic books. B. The author’s worry about his mother. C. The author’s memory of his childhood experiences. D. The impact of Sun Wukong on the author’s writing. 【答案】9. B 10. C 11. A 12. D 【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候母亲通过给作者讲中国民间故事，来希望作者不要忘记自己的文化。其中作者最喜欢孙悟空的故事，孙悟空也很大程度影响了作者的人生。 9. 细节理解题。根据第一段“She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left.(她给我讲这些故事是为了让我不会忘记她留下的文化)”可知，作者的母亲希望他保持文化根基。故选B项。 10. 细节理解题。根据第三段“My most well-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t direct adaptation of my mother’s stories.(我最著名的书是2006年出版的《美国出生的中国人》。孙悟空是我的主要角色之一，但这本书并不是直接改编自我母亲的故事。)”和 第四段“Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions without reservation. I needed him to emote on my pages.(相反，我邀请孙悟空进入我的故事，这样我就可以谈谈作为一个亚裔美国人成长的不安。这个我从小就认识的人物毫无保留地表达了自己的情感。我需要他在我的页面上表达。)”可知，《美国出生的中国人》这本书的部分灵感来自孙悟空的故事。故选C项。 11. 推理判断题。根据第五段“For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic(经典作品)that first told the monkey king’s story.(为了进行研究，我找到了《西游记》的英文译本，这是一部有着数百年历史的中国经典，首次讲述了猴王的故事。)”以及上文可知，作者开始阅读《西游记》来研究它，为创作自己的作品。故选A项。 12. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong.(我妈妈现在患有阿尔茨海默氏症。她已经忘记了她以前给我讲的所有故事，但我记得。在很多方面，我的整个职业生涯都建立在睡前的那些时刻。我创作的每一本漫画书，都试图重温母亲给我讲孙悟空故事时的那种惊奇。)”可知，最后一段主要讲孙悟空的故事对作者的影响。故选D项。 D (24-25高一上·江苏南京·阶段练习)Roald Hoffmann, a Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, poet and playwright(剧作家), is a tireless advocate of the wonders of science and the beauty of chemistry. Hoffmann successfully shares his understanding of science with the public at large through literature, educational television and even the stage. Here is an article he wrote: Around the time of the Industrial Revolution, science left poetry. Nature and the personal became the main playground of the poet. That’s too bad for both scientists and poets, but it leaves lots of open ground for those of us who can move between the two. If one can write poetry about being a tree, why not about being a scientist? It’s experience, a way of life. It’s exciting. The language of science is a language under stress. Words are being made to describe things that seem indescribable in words — equations(方程式), chemical structures and so forth. Words do not, cannot mean all that they stand for, yet they are all we have to describe experience. By being a natural language under tension, the language of science is inherently(内在地) poetic. Emotions emerge shaped as states of matter and more interestingly, matter acts out what goes on in the soul. One thing is certainly not true: that scientists have some greater insight into the workings of nature than poets. Interestingly, I find that many humanists deep down feel that scientists have such inner knowledge that they don’t. Perhaps we scientists do, but in such carefully circumscribed pieces of the universe, poetry flies high, all around the tangible(有形的), in the deep dark, through a world we reveal and make. It should be said that building a career in poetry is much harder than in science. In the best chemical journal in the world, the acceptance rate for full articles is 65%, for communications 35%. In a routine literary journal, far from the best, the acceptance rate for poems is below 5%. Writing has become increasingly important to me. I expect to publish four books for a general or literary audience in the next few years. Science will be involved, but only as a part, a vital part, of the risky project of being human. 13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A way of life. B. The Industrial Revolution. C. The main playground of the poet. D. The separation of science from poetry. 14. What can we learn about science language? A. Humanists never use it. B. It shows scientists' emotions. C. It is a special way of description. D. Its words stand for everything. 15. What method does Roald Hoffmann mainly use to develop the text? A. Comparison and contrast. B. Giving examples. C. Cause and effect. D. Problem and solution. 16. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Science of Poetry B. The Poetic Nature of Science C. The Difference of Nature and Art D. The Development of Science Language 【答案】13. D 14. C 15. A 16. B 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要为Roald Hoffmann对于科学和诗歌的一些个人看法。 13. 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Around the time of the Industrial Revolution, science left poetry. Nature and the personal became the main playground of the poet. That’s too bad for both scientists and poets (在工业革命前后，科学留下了诗歌。自然和个人成了诗人的主要活动场所。这对科学家和诗人来说都太糟糕了)”以及后文“If one can write poetry about being a tree, why not about being a scientist? (如果一个人可以写关于成为一棵树的诗，为什么不能写关于成为科学家的诗呢？)”可知，科学和诗歌分离对于科学家和诗人来说都太糟糕了，但科学和诗歌分离为我们这些可以在两者之间移动的人留下了很多开放的空间。故划线词指的是“科学与诗歌的分离”。故选D。 14. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Words are being made to describe things that seem indescribable in words - equations (方程式), chemical structures and so forth. Words do not, cannot mean all that they stand for, yet they are all we have to describe experience. By being a natural language under tension, the language of science is inherently (内在地) poetic. (语言被用来描述那些似乎无法用语言描述的事物——方程式、化学结构等等。词语并不，也不可能代表它们所代表的一切，但它们是我们用来描述经验的全部。作为一种张力下的自然语言，科学语言具有内在的诗意。)”可知，科学语言是一种特殊的描述方式。故选C。 15. 推理判断题。根据第四段“One thing is certainly not true: that scientists have some greater insight into the workings of nature than poets. (有一件事肯定是不正确的：科学家对自然的运作比诗人更有洞察力。)”以及第五段“It should be said that building a career in poetry is much harder than in science. (应该说，从事诗歌事业要比从事科学事业难得多。)”可推知，罗尔德·霍夫曼主要通过比较分析来展开文章。故选A。 16. 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了诺贝尔化学奖得主、诗人和剧作家Roald Hoffmann对科学与诗歌之间关系的看法，他认为科学语言具有诗意，科学与诗歌可以相互融合，并表达了自己对写作和科学的热爱，由此可知，这篇文章最好的标题可能是“科学的诗意本质”，这个标题准确地概括了文章的主题，即科学与诗歌之间的诗意联系。故选B。 话题6：节日和风俗 A (24-25高一上·陕西咸阳·期中)During the International Labor Day holiday, tourist attractions that offered ancient Chinese or guofeng experiences attracted a lot of people, some of whom wore traditional clothing and makeup to enhance the pleasure of their experiences. Qujiang New District in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, attracted tourists with a new attraction on the theme of the TV show The Longest Day in Chang’an. It offered visitors a chance to “travel back in time” and experience a day in the life of people living in the Tang Dynasty. Xi’an, known as Chang’an back then, was the capital.

Now more and more tourists are increasingly looking for comfortable and safe tourism products that benefit both the environment and people’s health. For tourism businesses, it’s important to highlight the cultural elements of their products by drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese culture.
