专题06 阅读理解 （一）（2024•东湖高新）C Birdwatching is a fun hobby for many people. Birdwatchers like to watch birds in the wild (野外). They take photos and record birds’ sounds to learn about them. According to Xinhua, there are more than 100 million birdwatchers in China now. Young people are a big part of it. Zhang Liang is an experienced birdwatcher and photographer (摄影师). When he was a college student, he got ill for a while. His doctor advised him to go outdoors more often. He then decided to take photos of birds. Once, he took a photo of a small black and yellow songbird, he tagged it as a sparrow (麻雀) online Soon, someone corrected him. The bird was actually a finch (芬奇).

I’ve made new friends. I’ve also met many birds I didn’t know about.” “It’s difficult to describe such feelings, especially if you have spent a lot of time in finding the bird and learned more about the bird,” he said, “I feel my heart race, my eyes widen and almost begin to smile.” Besides watching, Zhang Liang also takes photos and records sounds on field trips.

This is what many young people in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. To them, city walk means “hanging around the city” on foot. They often explore old buildings or boutique shops (精品店), and enjoy a cup of coffee or local snacks. Citywalk offers them a way to interact with a city. It also gives them a chance to meet new people. It can be a guided trip for a small group of people or simply a relaxing walk for one or two. They follow one rule: stay away from famous places and big crowds. In China, the citywalk has become a hit and has spread from Beijing and Shanghai to smaller cities. Some organizers invite folk culture researchers to act as tour guides. Xiao Yiyi is a young woman living in Changsha. She is exploring new possibilities in the tourism industry. Recently she started six citywalk routes in different cities. Her plan is to provide experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums.” Her Changsha route includes more special sights, such as historical buildings from the 19th century and old streets. They even stop to taste the local spicy crayfish (麻辣小龙虾) along the way. Xiao Yiyi said her group is usually made up of about twelve people. Her events last about half a day. Some cities, such as Beijing, have included citywalks in their plans to help develop cultural tourism. Shanghai has created citywalk routes and is trying to help tourists reach more remote (远的) places by public transport. At present, the idea of a citywalk is new to most Chinese people. However, people working in the tourist industry believe it has a bright future. Zhang Zhi is a tour guide from Beijing.

I started by choosing topics I was interested in, including the future world, economics (经济学) and psychology (心理). The app would then match me with people with the same interests. Then I met my first, and so far, best pen pal. Her name is Emma. She’s the same age as me. She is studying in London, UK. We share stories about our school life. We read books together and talk about them. We also discuss the economy and the future of the world. Later, we also tried video chatting (聊天) Even though I didn’t speak very good English, she would listen patiently (耐心地) and help me correct myself. We will give each other birthday gifts and meet up in the future. I feel that although we are in different parts of the world, ★ .

Some teenagers want free play without parents’ supervision (监管) while parents and experts may think differently. Lin Tao, a middle school student, thinks teenagers should be free to play. “Last time I played with my parents around, I was nervous (紧张) and just couldn’t enjoy myself to the fullest.” Lin says. “And my friend Chen Xiaoxin has similar experiences. Once, he went out to play with his classmates. Everyone felt uncomfortable with his mother’s supervision.” Wang Min, a mother of a 14-year-old boy, thinks playtime needs supervision. She explains, “People usually say I like to control my kid, but that’s not true. I am just worried that he will get into trouble. Some guys may have a bad influence on him and some games like LARP may mislead him. He might even get indulged in the stories and can’t get back to real life.” Mr. Ma, a doctor of social studies, says it’s understandable for teenagers to wish for freedom. Free play helps them to be independent. Parents can give them more space. They don’t have to supervise them all the time. However, teenagers should find out the exact details (细节) about the activities before playtime. Then they can communicate with their parents and decide together whether they can go out to play alone. 66. For teenagers, free time is a good chance to __________. A. study hard B. mislead parents C. enjoy themselves D. get into trouble 67. Lin Tao supports his own idea by __________.

Xie Hao talks to his parents about the exact details before playtime 70. This passage mainly wants to tell us __________. A. why teenagers need free time to get relaxed B. how teenagers can make full use of their free time C. what teenagers can do to make their free time meaningful D. whether teenagers need parents’ supervision to enjoy free time （五）（2024•江岸） C “There’s nothing to discuss,” barked my husband when I told him that Rosie, our 17-year-old daughter, had asked whether she could go to Kavos, Greece (希腊), for a holiday with her friends. “Of course she can’t. She’s too young to travel without any adult around. It’s completely out of the question.” But how come I found myself standing, two weeks later, at Gatwick Airport? Tearfully, I watched Rosie disappear at the boarding gate (登机门). In four hours’ time, she would be in Kavos. It’s 2, 500 kilometers away from England! There comes a time when you have to let your baby go-for many parents, it’s around the age of 17. Maybe it is the time that you should trust that they’ll look after themselves. But I still felt worried. Rosie tried to put my mind at rest. She said she and her friends would always look after one another and that it really, really was all going to be okay. After we had waved our last goodbye at the airport, I looked back, She was, to my surprise, looking back at me, too. Teenagers want to cut free, but it’s still a frightening business for them, too. We made Rosie promise to text (发短信) as soon as she arrived in Kavos. But around 9 a. m. on the first morning, her first message came through. It was twelve hours since I had left her at Gatwick! And all I got was: “I’m here.” I wish everything goes well with my children. But like all the dangers in life, all you can do is to warn them, warn them again, and then hope that some of your messages can reach them. My daughter got home safely. But every time Rosie wants another similar journey, my alarm bells start ringing. 66. Which can replace “out of the question” in this passage? A. No need B. No problem C. No worries D. No way 67.

I knew it was time to let my daughter go, but still worried B. when my daughter turned 17, everything would be okay C. my daughter didn’t want to travel with me any more D. I tried to put my mind at rest by trusting my daughter 68. About the trip, Rosie might feel __________. A. nervous but excited B. afraid but surprised C. confident but worried D. lonely but happy 69.

Thousands Miles Away! （6） （2024•江汉） C From the early days of science fiction () , movies have given us a picture of the future. When we see a movie, we understand it from different points of view. “Can it be true? How’s that possible? “People often talk to themselves when watching science fiction movies. If you are a doctor, you may think: “That man would die that fall. “If you are a physical scientist: “That’s not how black holes work. “And if you’re me, it’s more like: “What a silly idea of future personal technology (科技)!” Sometimes, it makes me crazy when sci-fi movie makers dream up things. On the other hand, some movies show technologies that are so practical. People make them in the real world. Star Trek’s self-opening doors are now commonly seen at store and hotel, and the driver-less cars from Total Recall (and many other movies) are already on roads. It’s clear that Hollywood’s film makers have put serious thoughts into the things we’ll someday carry. For example, there’s a Siri-like voice assistant (助手) in a movie named Her. Her boss talks to her through an earbud (耳机), through which he gets a surprising number of things done such as looking through e-mails and news stories, sending messages and so on. When he needs a picture for the communication, the picture will show up after opening his phone. My only question with Her is that nobody ever gives an order by saying something like “Hey, Siri.” How do the movie’s computers know when you’re speaking to them? Otherwise, it would make a great movie. People go crazy over the idea: having all the power (功能) of a smartphone without really needing a smartphone. We won’t see this happen in the real world, though. Most of these movies, however, still get one thing wrong: Computers make strange sounds like birds singing as their words and pictures appear. Why do movie makers think adding silly sounds make their machines cooler? We’re never going to like that. 96. Which way of writing is used in Paragraph 1? A. Giving examples. B. Listing numbers. C. Beginning with a joke. D. Showing pictures. 97. The driver-less cars A. have no future in science B. are everywhere on roads C. help you enter a hotel D. are dreams came true 98. The Siri-like voice assistant in Paragraph 3 A. is in the shape of an earbud B. sees her boss as a human servant C. talks like a human D. can draw beautiful pictures by hand 99. What will probably happen according to last two paragraphs? A. We don’t need smartphones anymore. B. We don’t add cooler sounds to our phones. C. People like their computers make louder sounds. D. People enjoy a room full of noisy computers. 100. What would be the best title for the passage? A. How Well do Movies Predict Our Tech Future? B. What Can We Believe in Movies? C. Predictions in Movies are future life D. Sci-fi Movies Get Everything Wrong （7） （2024•汉阳） C Last week, I finally managed to ask my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school match. I was very excited and wore it to the training before the match. Unluckily, my new shirt was tom (破损的) after the training and only a tailor (裁缝) could help! As I walked home worriedly, I saw a shop sign: All Kinds of Repairs and Services! I went in, looked around the shop and saw broken toys, broken chairs. . . I wondered if I was in the wrong place. Just at that moment, a man with white hair came up to me and said cheerfully, “Welcome!

I’ve been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt.” “Really?” I held the shirt in my hands. To my surprise, he took the shirt from me, put on glasses and sat down on the sofa with my shirt in his hands. “I guess you are a striker (前锋), ”he smiled warmly. . How could he know? The man gave me a wink and said calmly, “See that picture on the wall? That was me 30 years ago.” ★ ! He was Orhan, the famous footballer who was on the city team years ago! I told him I was playing for the school team and I had been his fan for years. I told him everything, my dream, my practice and even my dad’s words. “Dad thinks I should be an engineer or a doctor. “I lowered my head! “Follow your dream, choose a job you love and carry on.” He patted (轻拍) me on the shoulder and put the shirt he had repaired in my bag.

These drivers just drove slowly, taking their own sweet time, as if they had nothing to do. However, a Sunday driver wasn’t necessarily someone who needn’t work on a Sunday. A person could be a Sunday driver any day of the week. The phrase simply meant that the person was an obstacle (障碍) to other drivers who were really busy. The phrase probably came out because there was a time when people could go for a relaxing drive on Sunday afternoon. There were many Sunday drivers years ago and especially (特别是) on nice warm sunny days. There were no stores open on Sundays because of the “blue laws” (“周日法规”), so you needed to fill up the gas tank and do any other needed shopping before Sunday arrived. Some states in the US had strict blue laws一Some activities were not allowed (被允许) on Sundays. . At that time, very few people worked on Sundays but some important workers such as those in the hospitals. It was a day that people spent resting, visiting neighbors and friends, or maybe going to grandma’s house for supper. Today there are many people who go back to work and children who go back to school feeling tired on Mondays because they don’t have a good rest on weekends. However, there would be less stress-related illnesses if we really keep Sunday as a day of rest. 61. A “Sunday driver” might be the person __________.

Today was the baseball game! The winners would all get trophies (奖杯). Emma decided to bring home a trophy to put on her shelf. She had never won a trophy before. She put on her red uniform, picked up her gloves and said to herself, “I hope I get a hit today.” On the way to field, Emma felt nervous. “Are you feeling okay, Emma?” her mother asked. “I really don’t want to strike out,” Emma said. “Just keep your eye on the ball and don’t feel afraid. You can do it,” Emma’s mother said. Emma was a great hitter in practice, but she had never hit a ball during a game. She almost always struck out.

Emma closed her eyes and swung hard for the first time, but missed. “Keep your eye on the ball, Emma!” her mother called from the stands. Emma heard it. So this time she kept her eyes wide open as she swung the bat. Crack! Emma hit the ball and ran as fast as she could. She was safe, and Frankie ran home.
