(24-25高二上·重庆·期中)I flew on a small plane to a faraway village in the Amazon (亚马逊) with my wife, who was there as a medical researcher. We did not speak the local language, did not know the customs, and more often than not, did not entirely recognize the food. We could not have felt more foreign.
One perfect Amazonian evening, we played soccer. As darkness came over the field and the match ended, the goal keeper, Juan, walked over to me and said in a matter-of-fact way! “In your home, do you have a moon too?” I was surprised.
After I explained to Juan that yes, we did have a moon and yes, it was very similar to his, I felt a sort of awe at the possibilities that existed in his world. In Juan’s world, each village could have its own moon. In Juan’s world, the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous. As a biologist myself, my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant are we? The question of what we know and do not know constantly bothered me.
I began collecting newspaper articles about new species, new monkey, new spider…, and on and on they appear. My drawer quickly filled. I began a second drawer for more general discoveries: new cave system discovered with dozens of nameless species, four hundred species of bacteria found in the human stomach. The second drawer began to fill and I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there. I started a third drawer for these big discoveries.
In looking into the stories of biological discovery, I also began to find a collection of scientists, usually brilliant occasionally half-mad, who made the discoveries. Those scientists very often see the same things that other scientists see, but they pay more attention to them and focus on them to the point of exhaustion, and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers. In looking for the stories of discovery, I found the stories of these people and how their lives changed our view of the world.
24.How did the author feel on his arrival in the Amazon?
A.Out of place. B.Full of joy. C.Sleepy. D.Regretful.
25.Why was the author surprised at Juan’s question about the moon?
A.The question was too straightforward. B.Juan knew so little about the world.
C.The author didn’t know how to answer. D.The author didn’t think Juan was sincere.
26.What was the author’s initial purpose of collecting newspaper articles?
A.To sort out what we have known. B.To deepen his research into Amazonians.
C.To improve his reputation as a biologist. D.To learn more about local cultures.
27.How did those brilliant scientists make great discoveries?
A.They followed other scientists closely. B.They shifted their viewpoints frequently.
C.They often criticized their fellow scientists. D.They conducted in-depth and close studies.
C
(24-25高二上·广东汕头·期中)As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit (呈递) a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic (国内的,家庭的) form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.
28.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A.Pocket parks are now popular.
B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C.Many cities are overpopulated.
D.People enjoy living close to nature.
29.What does the underlined word “emerge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Imagine. B.Obtain. C.Appear. D.Integrate.
30.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?
A.To compare different types of park-goers.
B.To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C.To analyze the main features of the park.
D.To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.
31.What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?
A.Language study. B.Environmental protection.
C.Public education. D.Intercultural communication.
D
(24-25高二上·江苏南通·期中)While Matt Damon relied on potatoes cultivated in biowaste to survive in the hit film The Martian, the researchers say it is a humble desert moss(藓类) that might prove crucial to establishing life on Mars.
Scientists in China say they have found Syntrichia caninervis — a moss found in Antarctic and desert — is able to bear Mars - like conditions, including drought, high levels of radiation and extreme cold.
The moss was able to regenerate under normal growth conditions after spending up to five years at - 80℃ and up to 30 days at - 196℃, and after exposure to gamma rays, with doses of around500Gy even promoting new growth. The team then created a set-up that had similar pressures, temperatures, gases and UV radiation to Mars. It found the moss survived in this Mars-like environment, and was able to regenerate under normal growth conditions, even after seven days of exposure.
“These experiments represent an important first step, but they do not show that the moss could be a significant source of oxygen under Martian conditions, nor do they show that the desert moss could reproduce in the Martian context,” McDaniel said. “Implying that moss, or any other pioneering species, is ready to terraform(行星地球化) Mars, or any other outer planet, is an overstatement.” Zupanska added.
Dr. Wiger of Wageningen University, also raised concerns, including that temperatures on the red planet rarely got above freezing, making outdoor plant growth impossible, while the new study did not use Mars - like soil. “The mosses were treated under Mars circumstances for a maximum of several days and then regrown under Earth conditions on sand,” he said. “This, of course, doesn’t show at all they can grow under Mars conditions.”
However, Prof. Edward Guinan of Villanova University in the US described the study as impressive. “This extremotolerant moss could promise to be a pioneer plant for Mars colonization,” he said, although he noted the moss would need water to grow.
“We have a lot of things to do,” he said. “But this lowly desert moss offers hope for making small portions of Mars habitable for humankind in the future.”
32.What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning the potatoes?
A.The potatoes played a crucial role in the film.
B.The moss led to survival of the potatoes on Mars.
C.The moss may survive on Mars like these potatoes.
D.The success of the film resulted from the plot about potatoes.
33.What can be implied from what McDaniel and Zupanska said?
A.The moss has a long way to be a Martian plant.
B.It is unlikely that the earth species can grow on Mars.
C.The experiments about the moss were a complete success.
D.They will research into reproducing the moss in the Martian context.
34.Which one is right about the characteristic of the moss in the text?
A.Resistant to water. B.Adaptable to Martian soil.
C.Capable of producing oxygen on Mars. D.Regenerative under Earth condition.
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Can Mars actually become a second Earth?
B.Can scientists create a set-up similar to Mars?
C.Can a moss become a pioneer living on Mars?
D.Can researchers make it to Mars colonization?

Recently she launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. 37 Citywalk not only offers a way for young people to interact with a city, but also provides them with a new social scene. So participants who share the same interests and ideas can easily make friends. Xiao Yiyi said her group usually consists of a dozen or so people and her events last around half a day.
Some regions, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. 38 This will help day-trippers reach more far-flung districts by public transport and continue on foot.
Even though Citywalk is a niche and new phenomenon, 39 Zhang Zhi, a tour guide from Beijing said tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences in a bid to attract potential customers.

Landscape painting 56 (occupy)a significant position in Chinese art, reflecting superior scholarly taste and Daoist philosophy, which emphasizes harmony with nature. The Chinese term for “landscape” translates to “mountains and water,” 57 (indicate)spiritual promotion, as mountains are believed 58 (connect)the earthly kingdom with the heavens.

In our classroom, we have something called a job wheel. Our teacher put all the jobs on a small inside circle, and he put everyone's name on a larger outside circle. On the first day of every month, we turn the wheel to see what our jobs will be.
All year, I'd been wishing to be part of the pet-care team, and last month, my wish finally came true! Along with Miguel and Imani, I'd be taking care of our class pet, the lizard(蜥蜴) Larry! We took turns sharing responsibilities: giving him fresh water and food, cleaning his terrarium(育养箱), checking the temperature, and singing him songs. We were taking great care of him.
But one morning when we came in, Larry was nowhere to be seen! We made sure that we had put it in the terrarium and closed its door before leaving the classroom. We were so anxious that we went to the teacher's office to find our teacher. As soon as we told him what happened, he called for everyone's attention and let us take a 10-minute break for Operation Lizard Hunt. Leave no stone or notebook unturned!
The search began. Even with our entire class searching, we did not find Larry. All the students were disappointed and everyone was silent the whole day. I couldn't think about anything else for the rest of the day. What if he gets outside and wanders into the street? Or he gets picked up by people who doesn't know what kind of treats Larry likes? Sometimes when I'm stressed, my mind turns into a worry machine. By the end of the school day, I was panicked so much that I felt like I could barely breathe! Miguel and Imani were also upset and guilty. When we told our teacher how worried we were, he agreed to let our pet-care team stay a few minutes late to do one last search for the day

【原文】M: OK everyone, take your seats, please. A number of you approached me wanting to know more about how you will be graded in this class. I had been planning on going over this in detail next week, as quite a few people are away today. But since so many of you are clearly stressed out, we may as well go over it now. There will be a final exam that counts for 50 percent of your grade. Your personal research paper makes up another 30 percent. That’s down from last year when it counted for 40 percent. Finally, class participation throughout the year has gone up 10 percent and now counts for 20 percent. As to the research project this year, the basic idea is this: each of you will have to come up with an idea for a research paper and propose it to me for approval. I will be meeting with you individually about this in October. I realize it’s only the beginning of the term, but you’d better start thinking about this now. That’ll give you plenty of time to think about what kind of topics you would like to propose and to come up with something original. I hope that answers your questions!

(24-25高二上·重庆·期中)I flew on a small plane to a faraway village in the Amazon (亚马逊) with my wife, who was there as a medical researcher. We did not speak the local language, did not know the customs, and more often than not, did not entirely recognize the food. We could not have felt more foreign.
One perfect Amazonian evening, we played soccer. As darkness came over the field and the match ended, the goal keeper, Juan, walked over to me and said in a matter-of-fact way! “In your home, do you have a moon too?” I was surprised.
After I explained to Juan that yes, we did have a moon and yes, it was very similar to his, I felt a sort of awe at the possibilities that existed in his world. In Juan’s world, each village could have its own moon. In Juan’s world, the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous. As a biologist myself, my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant are we? The question of what we know and do not know constantly bothered me.
I began collecting newspaper articles about new species, new monkey, new spider…, and on and on they appear. My drawer quickly filled. I began a second drawer for more general discoveries: new cave system discovered with dozens of nameless species, four hundred species of bacteria found in the human stomach. The second drawer began to fill and I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there. I started a third drawer for these big discoveries.
In looking into the stories of biological discovery, I also began to find a collection of scientists, usually brilliant occasionally half-mad, who made the discoveries. Those scientists very often see the same things that other scientists see, but they pay more attention to them and focus on them to the point of exhaustion, and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers. In looking for the stories of discovery, I found the stories of these people and how their lives changed our view of the world.
24.How did the author feel on his arrival in the Amazon?
A.Out of place. B.Full of joy. C.Sleepy. D.Regretful.
25.Why was the author surprised at Juan’s question about the moon?
A.The question was too straightforward. B.Juan knew so little about the world.
C.The author didn’t know how to answer. D.The author didn’t think Juan was sincere.
26.What was the author’s initial purpose of collecting newspaper articles?
A.To sort out what we have known. B.To deepen his research into Amazonians.
C.To improve his reputation as a biologist. D.To learn more about local cultures.
27.How did those brilliant scientists make great discoveries?
A.They followed other scientists closely. B.They shifted their viewpoints frequently.
C.They often criticized their fellow scientists. D.They conducted in-depth and close studies.
【答案】24.A 25.B 26.A 27.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者和妻子来到了亚马逊,妻子是一名医学研究者。一踏上这里,作者感到非常不适应,通过与当地人的接触,作者了解一些人对外部的世界并不了解。在生物多样性发现的过程中,作者意识到,很多东西是人类已知的,还有很多是人类未知的。
24.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“We did not speak the local language, did not know the customs, and more often than not, did not entirely recognize the food. We could not have felt more foreign.(我们不会说当地的语言,不知道风俗习惯,而且通常情况下不完全认识食物。我们感到格格不入)”可知,作者刚到亚马逊时感到格格不入。故选A。
25.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Juan, walked over to me and said in a matter-of-fact way! “In your home, do you have a moon too?” I was surprised.(胡安走过来平静地对我说:“在你家那里,也有月亮吗?”我感到很惊讶)”以及第三段“In Juan’s world, each village could have its own moon. In Juan’s world, the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous.(在胡安的世界里,每个村庄都有自己的月亮。在胡安的世界里,未知和未被发现的是广阔而神奇的)”可知,作者惊讶是因为胡安对世界知之甚少。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据第三段“As a biologist myself, my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant are we? The question of what we know and do not know constantly bothered me.(作为一名生物学家,我的想法转向了我们对昆虫生命的了解,我知道昆虫世界中还有很多未知的东西。然而,有多少?我们有多无知?我们知道什么和不知道什么的问题一直困扰着我)”和第四段“I began collecting newspaper articles about new species, new monkey, new spider…, and on and on they appear. My drawer quickly filled. I began a second drawer for more general discoveries: new cave system discovered with dozens of nameless species, four hundred species of bacteria found in the human stomach. The second drawer began to fill and I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there. I started a third drawer for these big discoveries.(我开始在报纸上收集关于新物种的文章,新猴子,新蜘蛛……我的抽屉很快就装满了。我打开了第二个抽屉,里面是更一般的发现:发现了一个新的洞穴系统,里面有几十种不知名的物种,在人类胃里发现了400种细菌。第二个抽屉开始装满了,我想知道是否还有更大的发现。我为这些重大发现开辟了第三个抽屉)”可知,作者收集报纸文章的初始目的是为了分类我们所知道的事情。故选A。
27.细节理解题。根据最后一段“but they pay more attention to them ,and they focus on them to the point of exhaustion ,and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers.(但他们更多地关注这些发现,他们把注意力集中在这些发现上直到精疲力竭的地步,冒着被同龄人嘲笑的风险)”由此可知,杰出的科学家进行深入细致的研究,做出重大的发现。故选D。
C
(24-25高二上·广东汕头·期中)As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit (呈递) a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic (国内的,家庭的) form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.
28.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A.Pocket parks are now popular.
B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C.Many cities are overpopulated.
D.People enjoy living close to nature.
29.What does the underlined word “emerge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Imagine. B.Obtain. C.Appear. D.Integrate.
30.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?
A.To compare different types of park-goers.
B.To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C.To analyze the main features of the park.
D.To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.
31.What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?
A.Language study. B.Environmental protection.
C.Public education. D.Intercultural communication.
【答案】28.B 29.C 30.D 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项基于大型城市公园的游客体验的研究表明,城市地区的野生环境对人类福祉至关重要,并强调了保护自然环境的必要性。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段“As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild. (随着城市的飞速发展,生活在城市地区的人们越来越难以接近大自然。如果幸运的话,你住的地方附近可能有一个口袋公园,但在城市中找到相对荒野的地方是不寻常的。)”可知,作者在开头描述了在城市里很难找到野生的自然的现象。故选B项。
29.词句猜测题。根据画线部分的下文“After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. (在对所有提交的内容进行编码后,有六个类别被认为对游客者最重要。)”可知,重要的类别是根据编码的结果得出的,由此推知,此处指“自然语言”的类别模式从结果中显现,画线词意思应该与Appear“出现,显现”相近。故选C项。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段中“After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail. (在对所有提交的内容进行编码后,有六个类别被认为对游客最重要。这些活动包括遇到野生动物,沿着水边散步,沿着一条既定的小路走。)”可知,根据编码的结果,研究人员得出了哪些类别的自然体验对人们来说最重要。由此可知,研究人员对参与者提交的内容进行分类是为了在游客的总结中找到特定模式。故选D项。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段中Peter Kahn所说的话“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it (我们正在努力创造一种语言,帮助将人类与自然的互动带回我们的日常生活。为了实现这一点,我们还需要保护自然,这样我们才能与它互动)”可知,Kahn认为在我们与自然互动之前,我们应该完成环境保护。故选B项。
D
(24-25高二上·江苏南通·期中)While Matt Damon relied on potatoes cultivated in biowaste to survive in the hit film The Martian, the researchers say it is a humble desert moss(藓类) that might prove crucial to establishing life on Mars.
Scientists in China say they have found Syntrichia caninervis — a moss found in Antarctic and desert — is able to bear Mars - like conditions, including drought, high levels of radiation and extreme cold.
The moss was able to regenerate under normal growth conditions after spending up to five years at - 80℃ and up to 30 days at - 196℃, and after exposure to gamma rays, with doses of around500Gy even promoting new growth. The team then created a set-up that had similar pressures, temperatures, gases and UV radiation to Mars. It found the moss survived in this Mars-like environment, and was able to regenerate under normal growth conditions, even after seven days of exposure.
“These experiments represent an important first step, but they do not show that the moss could be a significant source of oxygen under Martian conditions, nor do they show that the desert moss could reproduce in the Martian context,” McDaniel said. “Implying that moss, or any other pioneering species, is ready to terraform(行星地球化) Mars, or any other outer planet, is an overstatement.” Zupanska added.
Dr. Wiger of Wageningen University, also raised concerns, including that temperatures on the red planet rarely got above freezing, making outdoor plant growth impossible, while the new study did not use Mars - like soil. “The mosses were treated under Mars circumstances for a maximum of several days and then regrown under Earth conditions on sand,” he said. “This, of course, doesn’t show at all they can grow under Mars conditions.”
However, Prof. Edward Guinan of Villanova University in the US described the study as impressive. “This extremotolerant moss could promise to be a pioneer plant for Mars colonization,” he said, although he noted the moss would need water to grow.
“We have a lot of things to do,” he said. “But this lowly desert moss offers hope for making small portions of Mars habitable for humankind in the future.”
32.What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning the potatoes?
A.The potatoes played a crucial role in the film.
B.The moss led to survival of the potatoes on Mars.
C.The moss may survive on Mars like these potatoes.
D.The success of the film resulted from the plot about potatoes.
33.What can be implied from what McDaniel and Zupanska said?
A.The moss has a long way to be a Martian plant.
B.It is unlikely that the earth species can grow on Mars.
C.The experiments about the moss were a complete success.
D.They will research into reproducing the moss in the Martian context.
34.Which one is right about the characteristic of the moss in the text?
A.Resistant to water. B.Adaptable to Martian soil.
C.Capable of producing oxygen on Mars. D.Regenerative under Earth condition.
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Can Mars actually become a second Earth?
B.Can scientists create a set-up similar to Mars?
C.Can a moss become a pioneer living on Mars?
D.Can researchers make it to Mars colonization?
【答案】32.C 33.A 34.D 35.C
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章的主要内容是探讨苔藓是否能成为火星上的先锋生物。
32.推理判断题。根据第一段“While Matt Damon relied on potatoes cultivated in biowaste to survive in the hit film The Martian, the researchers say it is a humble desert moss(藓类) that might prove crucial to establishing life on Mars(在热播电影《火星救援》中,马特·达蒙依靠在生物垃圾中种植的土豆生存,而研究人员表示,这是一种不起眼的沙漠苔藓,可能对在火星上建立生命至关重要”可知,通过提到电影中的土豆,作者想说明苔藓可能像电影中的土豆一样在火星上生存。故选C项。
33.推理判断题。根据第四段““These experiments represent an important first step, but they do not show that the moss could be a significant source of oxygen under Martian conditions, nor do they show that the desert moss could reproduce in the Martian context,” McDaniel said. “Implying that moss, or any other pioneering species, is ready to terraform(行星地球化) Mars, or any other outer planet, is an overstatement.” Zupanska added.( McDaniel说:“这些实验代表了重要的第一步,但它们并没有表明苔藓在火星条件下可能是一个重要的氧气来源,也没有表明沙漠苔藓可以在火星环境下繁殖。”“暗示苔藓或任何其他先锋物种已经准备好改造火星或任何其他外行星,这是夸大其词。”Zupanska补充道)”可知,从McDaniel和Zupanska的话中可以推断出,苔藓要成为火星植物还有很长的路要走。故选A项。
34.细节理解题。根据第五段“then regrown under Earth conditions on sand (然后在地球条件下的沙子上重新生长)”可知,苔藓的特征是在地球条件下再生。故选D项。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“While Matt Damon relied on potatoes cultivated in biowaste to survive in the hit film The Martian, the researchers say it is a humble desert moss(藓类) that might prove crucial to establishing life on Mars(在热播电影《火星救援》中,马特·达蒙依靠在生物垃圾中种植的土豆生存,而研究人员表示,这是一种不起眼的沙漠苔藓,可能对在火星上建立生命至关重要”以及下文不同人对苔藓是否能成为火星上的先锋生物提出了自己的观点。所以短文主要围绕着“苔藓能成为火星上的先锋生物?”展开,也是文章的最佳标题。故选C。

(24-25高三上·吉林长春·期中)Hashtags(标签) and keywords for Citywalk are currently trending across multiple Chinese social media platforms as more and more people look to share their experiences and thoughts online.
In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from Beijing and Shanghai to other cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. 36 Xiao Yiyi is a young entrepreneur based in Changsha exploring new possibilities in the tourism sector. Recently she launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. 37 Citywalk not only offers a way for young people to interact with a city, but also provides them with a new social scene. So participants who share the same interests and ideas can easily make friends. Xiao Yiyi said her group usually consists of a dozen or so people and her events last around half a day.
Some regions, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. 38 This will help day-trippers reach more far-flung districts by public transport and continue on foot.
Even though Citywalk is a niche and new phenomenon, 39 Zhang Zhi, a tour guide from Beijing said tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences in a bid to attract potential customers.
Citywalk is offering a positive change to urban travelers. 40 Meanwhile, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands.
A.industry insiders say that its potential is huge.
B.Her routes include some historical architecture and traditional alleys.
C.Shanghai has recently established Citywalk routes using public bus routes.
D.Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides.
E.Citywalk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people to explore new areas.
F.It allows them to better choose the experiences that agree with their interests and needs.
G.it provides more opportunity for tour guides and travel companies to better their service.

36.根据上文“In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from Beijing and Shanghai to other cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved.( 在中国,城市漫步的趋势正从北京和上海蔓延到其他城市,鼓励更多的参与者和活动组织者参与进来。)”以及下文“Xiao Yiyi is a young entrepreneur based in Changsha exploring new possibilities in the tourism sector.( 肖依依是长沙的一名年轻企业家,在旅游领域探索新的可能性。)”可知,空前提到,在中国,城市漫步的趋势正从北京和上海蔓延到其他城市,鼓励更多的参与者和活动组织者加入;空后提到长沙的一名年轻企业家肖依依在旅游领域探索新的可能性,说明肖依依作为组织者正在加入城市漫步这一新的旅游趋势,由此可知,此处围绕加入城市漫步这一新的旅游趋势的参与者和组织者展开。D项Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides.(一些组织者邀请民间文化研究人员和爱好者担任导游。)是对上句内容的补充解释,而空后则用例子进一步解释本段首句。故选D项。
37.根据空前一句“Recently she launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”.( 最近,她在自己的社交媒体账户上推出了六条在不同城市的Citywalk路线,旨在为游客提供“在露天博物馆行走”的体验。)”可知,此处介绍肖依依设计的旅行线路;B项Her routes include some historical architecture and traditional alleys.(她的路线包括一些历史建筑和传统的小巷。)具体介绍了她的路线内容,B项中的“Her routes”呼应文中的“she launched six Citywalk routes”,“historical architecture and traditional alleys”照应文中的“open-air museums”。故选B项。
38.根据上文“Some regions, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours.( 一些地区,如北京和山东,已经将“城市漫步”纳入他们促进文化旅游和休闲旅游的计划中。)”可知,空前提到一些地区,如北京和山东,已经将城市漫步纳入他们促进文化旅游和休闲旅游的计划中;结合选项C项Shanghai has recently established Citywalk routes using public bus routes.(上海最近建立了使用公共巴士路线的城市步行路线。)具体介绍了最近上海市为鼓励Citywalk采取的举措——设置使用公共汽车路线的城市漫步路线,既衔接上文,又呼应下文(这将帮助一日游游客乘坐公共交通工具到达更偏远的地区,并继续步行)。下句中的This指代C项的内容;public transport与public bus呼应。故选C项。
39.分析句子可知,本空填半句,答案锁定在A 项和G 项之间;前后句之间为让步关系,结合上半句“Even though Citywalk is a niche and new phenomenon(尽管Citywalk是一个小众的新现象)”句意可知,此处是说,尽管城市漫步是一个小众的市场和新现象,但“业内人士表示,它的潜力是巨大的”。故选A项。
40.根据空前一句“Citywalk is offering a positive change to urban travelers.( Citywalk为城市旅行者提供了积极的改变。)”提到,城市漫步为城市旅行者提供了积极的改变,结合选项F 项It allows them to better choose the experiences that agree with their interests and needs. (它允许他们更好地选择符合他们兴趣和需求的体验。)具体解释了空前一句的内容,F项中的“It”指代上文中的“Citywalk”,“them”指代上文中的“urban travelers”。故选F项。

(24-25高三上·山东青岛·期中)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In our classroom, we have something called a job wheel. Our teacher put all the jobs on a small inside circle, and he put everyone's name on a larger outside circle. On the first day of every month, we turn the wheel to see what our jobs will be.
All year, I'd been wishing to be part of the pet-care team, and last month, my wish finally came true! Along with Miguel and Imani, I'd be taking care of our class pet, the lizard(蜥蜴) Larry! We took turns sharing responsibilities: giving him fresh water and food, cleaning his terrarium(育养箱), checking the temperature, and singing him songs. We were taking great care of him.
But one morning when we came in, Larry was nowhere to be seen! We made sure that we had put it in the terrarium and closed its door before leaving the classroom. We were so anxious that we went to the teacher's office to find our teacher. As soon as we told him what happened, he called for everyone's attention and let us take a 10-minute break for Operation Lizard Hunt. Leave no stone or notebook unturned!
The search began. Even with our entire class searching, we did not find Larry. All the students were disappointed and everyone was silent the whole day. I couldn't think about anything else for the rest of the day. What if he gets outside and wanders into the street? Or he gets picked up by people who doesn't know what kind of treats Larry likes? Sometimes when I'm stressed, my mind turns into a worry machine. By the end of the school day, I was panicked so much that I felt like I could barely breathe! Miguel and Imani were also upset and guilty. When we told our teacher how worried we were, he agreed to let our pet-care team stay a few minutes late to do one last search for the day

When Larry entered the terrarium, we found the secret to its escape.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly we heard a noise from the ceiling. It’s hard to believe that with everyone in our whole class searching, not one of us had thought to look up. But there was Larry, peeking out from a vent, just as happy as could be. Luckily, Mr. Jones is on the tall side, so all he had to do was stand on a desk and reach up with his arm, and then Larry could climb right onto his hand! The next thing we knew, our little escape artist was back in his terrarium, safe and sound.
When Larry entered the terrarium, we found the secret to its escape. When we tucked Larry in for the night, we saw that his favorite climbing tree had tipped over just enough to lift the corner of the terrarium lid a bit. Larry escaped from the hole. We repositioned the tree and put heavy books on it. The next morning, Mr. Jones brought in a secure terrarium cover. Our song about Larry still makes me smile when I think about it. So, making up a song or poem can make you focus on other stuff and help you feel better.
