According to a 2024 study, the aircraft jolt caused by turbulence (湍流) in some locations increased by as much as 55 percent from 1979 to 2020. The good news is, according to Swansea University experts, that birds’ perception of the wind may be useful in forecasting turbulence. Birds frequently fly over thousands of kilometers, and the amount of energy they must consume while traveling depends on wind direction, speed, and turbulence. Catching the wrong winds can also be the difference between life and death when you’re running low on supplies at the end of a life-changing journey halfway around the globe. Some species reach very high altitudes, although most don’t fly alongside commercial jets. Emily Shepard, an expert in bird flight and air flow and her colleagues at Swansea University’s Laboratory for Animal Movement hope to “visualize the invisible” and chart the movements of the air by examining how these birds react to turbulence. Shepard’s team flew an aircraft alongside a group of homing pigeons from 2018 to 2019. They recorded the turbulence levels during the birds’ flights back to their nests using GPS and acceleration data recorders fixed to the birds — a total of 88 flights. The team flew in a range of weather situations, including early mornings, later in the day, and several seasons. Experts said birds might serve as mobile meteorological (气象学的) sensors, gathering information about any disturbance they encounter as they fly. Not only can birds fly in conditions that planes cannot, Shepard continues, but this would also be less expensive than employing sensors fixed to aircraft. This knowledge is critical to the airline business and weather science at large because it enables meteorologists and pilots to forecast and manage turbulence more effectively. While certain potentials exist for modern aircraft technologies to detect and avoid turbulence, research on animal behavior in the air may offer a fresh and more insightful method of comprehending this phenomenon. 1．What does the underlined word “jolt” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Flight. B．Acceleration. C．Movement. D．Roughness. 2．Why is it important for birds to perceive the wind? A．To conserve energy. B．To find direction. C．To find enough supplies. D．To reach high altitudes. 3．What is the purpose of the study conducted by Shepard’s team? A．To draw birds’ flying patterns. B．To improve the aircraft design. C．To predict turbulence effectively. D．To analyze birds’ reactions to turbulence. 4．How might birds contribute to meteorology and air travel? A．By avoiding turbulence during flights. B．By serving as economical mobile sensors. C．By reducing the need for weather aircraft. D．By predicting weather patterns on their own. （24-25高二上·山西晋中·期末）There are plenty of destinations around the world for nature lovers, and here are a few popular spots recommended by our readers.

The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. 9 But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, approximately 4,400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. 10 Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death. 11 One easy way to do that is to increase your current step count by about 2,000 steps a day. Other easy ways to move more daily include walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. 12 And given that even small amounts of physical activity positively impact your health, taking regular breaks to move around if you’re working at a desk all day will help to easily get more physical activity. A．No additional benefits were seen with more steps. B．Is walking 10,000 steps every day really necessary? C．But do you know where this number actually came from? D．There are several ways to increase steps or simply move more. E．It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smart watches. F．The ways to improve our health lie in many aspects such as exercising more. G．Meeting with friends for a walk rather than in a cafe or pub can also be useful. （24-25高二上·贵州遵义·期末）See Yosemite National Park’s iconic natural wonders on this convenient minibus tour that saves time and energy.

In the 1950s, Luigi Lo Rosso, a pawnbroker on the Italian island of Capri, found the artwork in the basement of an abandoned villa. Convinced it was a treasure, he framed it cheaply and gave it to his wife. She was unimpressed and even washed the artwork alongside another dusty piece as if cleaning a carpet. For decades, the painting hung unnoticed in the family home and later in a restaurant, its true value unrecognized. Luigi’s son, Andrea, wasn’t born when the painting was found, but a revelation during his college years changed everything. He came across an image in an art history textbook that bore a striking similarity to the family painting. It featured Dora Maar and noted Picasso’s presence on Capri during that era. Returning home, Andrea began a mission to uncover the truth. Andrea’s persistence lasted decades. By treating the painting as potentially stolen, he registered it with Italy’s patrimony (遗产) police, ensuring in-depth examination. Locked in a Milan police storage room until 2019, the painting was eventually examined by Cinzia Altieri, who found Picasso’s signature in the corner to be true. Art expert Luca Gentile Canal Marcante also confirmed its genuineness, valuing it at $6 million, a figure that could double or triple if the Picasso Foundation in Paris officially recognizes it. Andrea remains cautious yet hopeful, “I’m happy, but let’s wait to toast,” he said. For now, he continues his father’s dream, aiming for the final seal of approval that could mark the painting’s incredible journey complete. 16．What did Luigi’s wife do to the painting? A．She tried to figure out its worth. B．She had it framed and displayed it. C．She cleaned the painting like a carpet. D．She sold it as she thought it had no value. 17．What made Andrea think that the painting might be drawn by Picasso? A．It showed the image of Dora Maar. B．Picasso was on Capri when it was painted. C．It looked like the image he saw in a textbook. D．It was well received when hung in a restaurant. 18．Why did Andrea register the painting with the police? A．To have a careful examination. B．To donate it to the government. C．To meet the police’s requirements. D．To hide it from other family members. 19．Which of the following words can best describe Andrea? A．Determined. B．Open-minded.

But interest worldwide in electric cars brings up this question: Can a muscle car go electric? Car fans who loved the classic, powerful cars that used a lot of fuel are called “gearheads”. While the new battery-powered cars go fast and are easier to control than cars with big engines, they do not make much noise. Will “gearheads” someday become “battery-heads”? Stellantis, a carmaker, hopes so. The company will stop making gas-powered versions of the Challenger and Charger (车名) by the end of 2023. Many European automakers already have electric versions of their high-performance cars. Governments around the world are now requiring cars to create less pollution, and so is America. As a result, plenty of carmakers are starting to centre their production on electric cars. Tim Kuniskis leads the Dodge division for Stellantis. “It’s tough,” he said when discussing the idea that governments are considering financial punishments for companies that do not meet new requirements to reduce fuel use. Sam Abuelsamid, a researcher for Guidehouse Insights, said some carmakers will keep making models with traditional engines for about 10 years. Dodge is working to improve its cars’ use of fuel but also keep the gearheads interested. A recent demonstration by Dodge showed off such a can that made a noise just like a muscle car even if they are using batteries. Kuniskis, however, is a critic of his own company’s new electric Charger. “It doesn’t have the emotion,” he said, speaking of the electric cars. “It doesn’t have the drama. It doesn’t have the dangerous feeling of an engine.” But he did say that it would be the fastest ever. Times are changing. Businesses are starting to think about how to put electric driving systems into the “classic” cars. As he put it, “this isn’t about my generation, and the future is not the end of the muscle car.” 26．What made American muscle cars acquire the name? A．Their looks like powerful muscles. B．Their high speed and strong engines. C．Their big size and attractive appearance. D．Their thundering noise and lasting power. 27．What are Paragraphs 3~4 mainly about? A．The future of high-performance electric cars. B．The regulations of governments on pollution. C．The change from gas-powered cars to electric ones. D．The successful experience of Stellantis on electric cars. 28．What’s the attitude of Kuniskis towards the new electric cars? A．Satisfied. B．Confident. C．Unclear. D．Unfavorable. 29．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Some Problems the “Muscle Car” Is Facing B．What Will Happen to the American “Muscle Car”? C．How Can We Make Muscle Cars Create Less Pollution? D．Differences Between Battery-Powered Cars and Gas-Powered Cars （24-25高一上·山东泰安·期中）We all remember that first cry at the movies. Whether they are tears of joy or sadness, it’s quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen. In fact, it all comes from a plan. But what about those heart- breaking stories... for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world. Actually, many great kids’ movies filled with tragedy (悲剧) are purposefully meant to stir up kids’ strong feelings. According to Aristotle,  tragedy aids us in facing life’s unsolvable issues through sensible (理智的) thinking. Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids’ movies is to teach kids to handle, to understand and to heal. The hardest lesson for a child is how to deal with loss, especially if it’s sudden. The cartoon classic The Lion King tells the story of Simba, who experiences the loss of his father. Kids see themselves in Simba’s character. He has dreams. He has a desire to grow and be a part of a bigger world. But it is really heartbreaking to see the loss. Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it’s okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. It’s an important lesson we learned at a very young age. Sadness should not be ignored (忽视). It’s important to feel sad, and that is why these films are so great. In Dumbo, Charlotte’s Web and Bridge to Terabithia, we lose our beloved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it. So, what is the message behind a sad kids’ movie? It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion (缓冲垫) that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata. 30．Why does the author mention “first cry” in paragraph 1? A．To introduce the topic. B．To recommend a movie. C．To support an argument. D．To explain the reason. 31．What does the underlined phrase “Hakuna Matata” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Viewing sadness as a treatment. B．Seeking knowledge to enrich life. C．Challenging oneself with tragic losses. D．Heading forward without being caught. 32．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Children can find a way to hide sad feelings. B．Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy. C．Sad kids’ movies prepare children for tough times. D．Sad kids’ movies help children to escape from reality. 33．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Are Great Kids’ Movies So Sad? B．What Is the Power of Great Kids’ Movies? C．Life’s Hardest Lesson: How Kids’ Movies Inspire Us? D．Moving Beyond Reality: What Sad Kids’ Movies Teach Us? （24-25高二上·浙江·期中）A friend recently showed me her planned trip to Italy. Over cups of tea, she laid out the trip in military order-the Colosseum, Pompeii, Venice…By the time she was done I was exhausted, and 1 hadn’t even set foot outside the house. My way of travelling is different. I just pick a destination and then go there, leaving things to chance. This may not be for everybody, but leaping into the unknown, for me, has been great. Take Greenland, for example: 1 found myself in a tiny village of just 40 people, with no place to stay. The locals welcomed me warmly, and I enjoyed a delightful supper with an Inuit family, completed with fantastic stories never found in guidebooks. A few years back, driving through Iceland, I noticed an older woman sitting at a picnic table by a waterfall. I approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a source of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight. Wandering in Trinidad, I got on a coastal ship. On the way, a young woman talked to me and gave me a tip for a visit to a hidden local restaurant with delicious and affordable food. There, I enjoyed the meal surrounded by the relaxing local music. As a teacher, I encourage my students to travel．Most of them have never gone outside; others even never left their hometown. In many cases, they express a sense of fear, of going someplace where they won’t know anybody. I try to remove their anxieties by sharing my own travel experiences, and the message that there are good people everywhere, and friendships are waiting to be started. I once read a piece about regrets that people expressed later in their lives. One that struck me was, “I wish I had taken more chances.” Setting off little planning does mean taking a risk, but for me, it is rewarding. 34．Why did the author mention her friend’s travel plan? A．To recommend some best spots in Italy. B．To express her unconcern of friend’s plan. C．To introduce her different way of traveling. D．To show her tiredness of making travel plans. 35．What can you learn from the author’s travel experiences? A．She visited a village with large population in Greenland. B．She learnt fascinating stories about Inuit from guidebooks. C．She saw the waterfall advised by an old woman in Iceland.

Passengers can download apps like Apollo Go or Baidu Map to their smartphones, and tell the app where they are and where they want to go. Then, a car will appear. With sensors and cameras placed all over the car, a computer takes full control of the drive. A screen on the back seats shows how the robotaxi’s software looks at the space around the car to see other cars, humans, bikes, and anything else that might get in its way. “The robotaxi goes at about the same speed, providing a good driving experience,” a user posted on Xiaohongshu. As of the first quarter of 2023, the user satisfaction rating for the Apollo Go app has reached 4.9 out of 5, with the latest data showing that 97.12 percent of the reviews are five-star ratings. Meanwhile, drivers in the city can also enjoy the conveniences of smart transportation. In Guiyang, Guizhou, at some smart parking lots, drivers only need to park their cars at an induction (感应) line. A smart system can put the vehicles into a specific area. When drivers want to get back their cars, they make a request on the terminal (终端的) device and the car will come out of the parking lot by itself in about one minute. All in all, smart transportation uses new technologies to make moving around a city easier and safer. 50．What do we know from paragraph 2? A．Baidu competes fiercely against Pony. B．Robotaxis begin to run in some cities in China. C．Robotaxis can run on open roads without driving permits.

According to a 2024 study, the aircraft jolt caused by turbulence (湍流) in some locations increased by as much as 55 percent from 1979 to 2020. The good news is, according to Swansea University experts, that birds’ perception of the wind may be useful in forecasting turbulence. Birds frequently fly over thousands of kilometers, and the amount of energy they must consume while traveling depends on wind direction, speed, and turbulence. Catching the wrong winds can also be the difference between life and death when you’re running low on supplies at the end of a life-changing journey halfway around the globe. Some species reach very high altitudes, although most don’t fly alongside commercial jets. Emily Shepard, an expert in bird flight and air flow and her colleagues at Swansea University’s Laboratory for Animal Movement hope to “visualize the invisible” and chart the movements of the air by examining how these birds react to turbulence. Shepard’s team flew an aircraft alongside a group of homing pigeons from 2018 to 2019. They recorded the turbulence levels during the birds’ flights back to their nests using GPS and acceleration data recorders fixed to the birds — a total of 88 flights. The team flew in a range of weather situations, including early mornings, later in the day, and several seasons. Experts said birds might serve as mobile meteorological (气象学的) sensors, gathering information about any disturbance they encounter as they fly. Not only can birds fly in conditions that planes cannot, Shepard continues, but this would also be less expensive than employing sensors fixed to aircraft. This knowledge is critical to the airline business and weather science at large because it enables meteorologists and pilots to forecast and manage turbulence more effectively. While certain potentials exist for modern aircraft technologies to detect and avoid turbulence, research on animal behavior in the air may offer a fresh and more insightful method of comprehending this phenomenon. 1．What does the underlined word “jolt” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Flight. B．Acceleration. C．Movement. D．Roughness. 2．Why is it important for birds to perceive the wind? A．To conserve energy. B．To find direction. C．To find enough supplies. D．To reach high altitudes. 3．What is the purpose of the study conducted by Shepard’s team? A．To draw birds’ flying patterns. B．To improve the aircraft design. C．To predict turbulence effectively. D．To analyze birds’ reactions to turbulence. 4．How might birds contribute to meteorology and air travel? A．By avoiding turbulence during flights. B．By serving as economical mobile sensors. C．By reducing the need for weather aircraft. D．By predicting weather patterns on their own. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候变化使飞行更颠簸，研究发现鸟类对风的感知或有助于预测湍流。 1．词句猜测题。划线词的上文“Climate change is making flights rougher, meaning your plane ride will have more rocky conditions. (气候变化使飞行变得更加艰难，这意味着你的飞行环境将更加颠簸)”提到气候变化导致飞行环境更加颠簸，再结合划线词的下文“caused by turbulence (湍流) in some locations (由某些地方的湍流引起)”可推知，飞机会因湍流而产生颠簸，划线词jolt意思应该是“颠簸，不平稳”，与Roughness意思相近。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Birds frequently fly over thousands of kilometers, and the amount of energy they must consume while traveling depends on wind direction, speed, and turbulence. Catching the wrong winds can also be the difference between life and death when you’re running low on supplies at the end of a life-changing journey halfway around the globe. (鸟类经常飞行数千公里，它们在飞行过程中必须消耗的能量取决于风向、速度和湍流。当你在环绕地球半圈的、改变生命轨迹的旅程接近尾声，物资所剩无几时，遇上不利的风也可能关乎生死)”可知，选择错误的风向可能会消耗大量能量，导致生死攸关的后果，尤其是在长途飞行中。因此，鸟类感知风的主要目的是为了节省能量。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The good news is, according to Swansea University experts, that birds’ perception of the wind may be useful in forecasting turbulence. (好消息是，据斯旺西大学的专家称，鸟类对风的感知可能有助于预测湍流)”和第三段“Emily Shepard, an expert in bird flight and air flow and her colleagues at Swansea University’s Laboratory for Animal Movement hope to “visualize the invisible” and chart the movements of the air by examining how these birds react to turbulence. (Emily Shepard是斯旺西大学动物运动实验室的鸟类飞行和气流专家，她和她的同事们希望通过研究这些鸟类对湍流的反应来‘可视化看不见的东西’，并绘制空气运动的图表)”可知，该研究团队的目的是根据鸟类对湍流的反应描绘出湍流的情况，从而更有效地预测湍流。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Experts said birds might serve as mobile meteorological (气象学的) sensors, gathering information about any disturbance they encounter as they fly. Not only can birds fly in conditions that planes cannot, Shepard continues, but this would also be less expensive than employing sensors fixed to aircraft. (专家说，鸟类可以充当移动的气象传感器，收集它们在飞行过程中遇到的任何干扰的信息。Shepard继续说，鸟类不仅可以在飞机无法飞行的条件下飞行，而且这比在飞机上安装传感器更便宜)”可知，鸟类在气象学和航空旅行中的贡献主要是作为经济的移动传感器。故选B项。 （24-25高二上·山西晋中·期末）There are plenty of destinations around the world for nature lovers, and here are a few popular spots recommended by our readers.

(印度尼西亚的拉贾安帕特群岛是一个生态旅游目的地，拥有世界上75%的海洋物种)”和Sorsogon中“Sorsogon, Bicol Region, is a popular spot for ecotourism. (比科尔地区的索索贡是一个受欢迎的生态旅游景点)”可知，这四个目的地的共同点是它们对自然是友好的。故选C项。 （24-25高二上·四川自贡·期末）When it comes to being fit and healthy, most of us know by now that 10,000 steps is recommended everywhere as a target to achieve. 8 The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer (计步器) sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. 9 But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, approximately 4,400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. 10 Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death. 11 One easy way to do that is to increase your current step count by about 2,000 steps a day. Other easy ways to move more daily include walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. 12 And given that even small amounts of physical activity positively impact your health, taking regular breaks to move around if you’re working at a desk all day will help to easily get more physical activity. A．No additional benefits were seen with more steps. B．Is walking 10,000 steps every day really necessary? C．But do you know where this number actually came from? D．There are several ways to increase steps or simply move more. E．It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smart watches. F．The ways to improve our health lie in many aspects such as exercising more. G．Meeting with friends for a walk rather than in a cafe or pub can also be useful. 【答案】8．C 9．E 10．A 11．D 12．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了每天一万步这一流行目标的来源，指出有研究表明对女性而言约4400步就能显著降低死亡风险，7500步后无更多额外益处，并分享了增加步数和日常活动量的多种方法。 8．前文“When it comes to being fit and healthy, most of us know by now that 10,000 steps is recommended everywhere as a target to achieve. (说到健美和健康，我们大多数人现在都知道，一万步是到处推荐的目标)”提到走一万步维持健康的目标，后文“The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer (计步器) sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. (每天走一万步的目标似乎源自1965年日本Yamasa钟表公司推出的一款计步器的商品名)”说明这一目标的来源，因此C项“But do you know where this number actually came from? (但是你知道这个数字实际上来自哪里吗)”符合语境，提出数字来源的问题，和前文构成转折，引出后文的回答，其中的this number指代前文提到的10,000。故选C。 9．前文“This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. (这是该设备的一种营销工具，似乎已经成为全球各地的日常步数目标)”提到走一万步作为日常步数目标流行起来，因此E项“It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smart watches. (它甚至被流行的智能手表纳入日常活动目标)”符合语境，进一步说明了这个目标的流行情况，承接前文。故选E。 10．前文“The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was, before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. (人们走的步数越多，死亡的风险就越低，之后会稳定在每天7500步左右)”指出每天约7500步时风险降低趋势趋于平稳，因此A项“No additional benefits were seen with more steps. (再多走步数也没有看到额外的好处)”符合语境，说明更多的步数不会增益，承接前文。故选A。 11．后文“One easy way to do that is to increase your current step count by about 2,000 steps a day. Other easy ways to move more daily include walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. (一个简单的方法就是每天增加2000步的步数。其他简单的每天多运动的方法包括走路去上班，如果可能的话，或者如果你在家工作，参加一个在线锻炼项目)”介绍各种增加日常活动量的具体方法，因此D项“There are several ways to increase steps or simply move more. (有几种增加步数或更多活动的方法)”符合语境，总的指出增加步数有方法可循，统领后文，适合作为段首句。故选D。 12．“One easy way to do that is to increase your current step count by about 2,000 steps a day. Other easy ways to move more daily include walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. (一个简单的方法就是每天增加2000步的步数。其他简单的每天多运动的方法包括走路去上班，如果可能的话，或者如果你在家工作，参加一个在线锻炼项目)”介绍各种增加日常活动量的具体方法，因此G项“Meeting with friends for a walk rather than in a cafe or pub can also be useful. (和朋友见面去散步而不是在咖啡馆或酒吧也会很有用)”符合语境，继续说明增加活动量的途径，和前文是并列关系。故选G。 （24-25高二上·贵州遵义·期末）See Yosemite National Park’s iconic natural wonders on this convenient minibus tour that saves time and energy.

In the 1950s, Luigi Lo Rosso, a pawnbroker on the Italian island of Capri, found the artwork in the basement of an abandoned villa. Convinced it was a treasure, he framed it cheaply and gave it to his wife. She was unimpressed and even washed the artwork alongside another dusty piece as if cleaning a carpet. For decades, the painting hung unnoticed in the family home and later in a restaurant, its true value unrecognized. Luigi’s son, Andrea, wasn’t born when the painting was found, but a revelation during his college years changed everything. He came across an image in an art history textbook that bore a striking similarity to the family painting. It featured Dora Maar and noted Picasso’s presence on Capri during that era. Returning home, Andrea began a mission to uncover the truth. Andrea’s persistence lasted decades. By treating the painting as potentially stolen, he registered it with Italy’s patrimony (遗产) police, ensuring in-depth examination. Locked in a Milan police storage room until 2019, the painting was eventually examined by Cinzia Altieri, who found Picasso’s signature in the corner to be true. Art expert Luca Gentile Canal Marcante also confirmed its genuineness, valuing it at $6 million, a figure that could double or triple if the Picasso Foundation in Paris officially recognizes it. Andrea remains cautious yet hopeful, “I’m happy, but let’s wait to toast,” he said. For now, he continues his father’s dream, aiming for the final seal of approval that could mark the painting’s incredible journey complete. 16．What did Luigi’s wife do to the painting? A．She tried to figure out its worth. B．She had it framed and displayed it. C．She cleaned the painting like a carpet. D．She sold it as she thought it had no value. 17．What made Andrea think that the painting might be drawn by Picasso? A．It showed the image of Dora Maar. B．Picasso was on Capri when it was painted. C．It looked like the image he saw in a textbook. D．It was well received when hung in a restaurant. 18．Why did Andrea register the painting with the police? A．To have a careful examination. B．To donate it to the government. C．To meet the police’s requirements. D．To hide it from other family members. 19．Which of the following words can best describe Andrea? A．Determined. B．Open-minded. C．Confident. D．Warm-hearted. 【答案】16．C 17．C 18．A 19．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在地下室发现的一幅画，曾经被认为一文不值，现在被认为是毕加索的真迹，可能价值数百万美元。讲述了画作发现的前因后果。 16．细节理解题。根据第二段“She was unimpressed and even washed the artwork alongside another dusty piece as if cleaning a carpet.(她不为所动，甚至像洗地毯一样，把这幅画和另一幅满是灰尘的画放在一起清理)”可知，路易吉的妻子把画擦得干干净净。故选C。 17．细节理解题。根据第三段“He came across an image in an art history textbook that bore a striking similarity to the family painting.(他在美术史教科书上偶然发现了与这幅家画惊人相似的画面)”可知，因为这幅画看起来像他在教科书上看到的，所以安德里亚认为这幅画可能是毕加索画的。故选C。 18．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“By treating the painting as potentially stolen, he registered it with Italy’s patrimony (遗产) police, ensuring in-depth examination.(他认为这幅画可能是被盗的，并向意大利文物警察局登记，以确保深入检查)”可知，安德里亚向警方登记这幅画是为了仔细检查。故选A。 19．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Andrea’s persistence lasted decades.(安德里亚坚持了几十年)”以及“Locked in a Milan police storage room until 2019, the painting was eventually examined by Cinzia Altieri, who found Picasso’s signature in the corner to be true.(这幅画一直被锁在米兰警方的储藏室里，直到2019年才被Cinzia Altieri检查，她发现角落里毕加索的签名是真的)”可知，安德里很坚定。故选A。 （24-25高二上·辽宁·期末）What is scuba diving?

Some of the gas-powered cars are so noisy, or even “thundering”. But interest worldwide in electric cars brings up this question: Can a muscle car go electric? Car fans who loved the classic, powerful cars that used a lot of fuel are called “gearheads”. While the new battery-powered cars go fast and are easier to control than cars with big engines, they do not make much noise. Will “gearheads” someday become “battery-heads”? Stellantis, a carmaker, hopes so. The company will stop making gas-powered versions of the Challenger and Charger (车名) by the end of 2023. Many European automakers already have electric versions of their high-performance cars. Governments around the world are now requiring cars to create less pollution, and so is America. As a result, plenty of carmakers are starting to centre their production on electric cars. Tim Kuniskis leads the Dodge division for Stellantis. “It’s tough,” he said when discussing the idea that governments are considering financial punishments for companies that do not meet new requirements to reduce fuel use. Sam Abuelsamid, a researcher for Guidehouse Insights, said some carmakers will keep making models with traditional engines for about 10 years. Dodge is working to improve its cars’ use of fuel but also keep the gearheads interested. A recent demonstration by Dodge showed off such a can that made a noise just like a muscle car even if they are using batteries. Kuniskis, however, is a critic of his own company’s new electric Charger. “It doesn’t have the emotion,” he said, speaking of the electric cars. “It doesn’t have the drama. It doesn’t have the dangerous feeling of an engine.” But he did say that it would be the fastest ever. Times are changing. Businesses are starting to think about how to put electric driving systems into the “classic” cars. As he put it, “this isn’t about my generation, and the future is not the end of the muscle car.” 26．What made American muscle cars acquire the name? A．Their looks like powerful muscles. B．Their high speed and strong engines. C．Their big size and attractive appearance. D．Their thundering noise and lasting power. 27．What are Paragraphs 3~4 mainly about? A．The future of high-performance electric cars. B．The regulations of governments on pollution. C．The change from gas-powered cars to electric ones. D．The successful experience of Stellantis on electric cars. 28．What’s the attitude of Kuniskis towards the new electric cars? A．Satisfied. B．Confident. C．Unclear. D．Unfavorable. 29．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Some Problems the “Muscle Car” Is Facing B．What Will Happen to the American “Muscle Car”? C．How Can We Make Muscle Cars Create Less Pollution? D．Differences Between Battery-Powered Cars and Gas-Powered Cars 【答案】26．B 27．C 28．D 29．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要围绕美国肌肉车是否能变成电动车这一话题进行了讨论，介绍了汽车制造商、研究者以及消费者对这一问题的看法和态度，同时提到了道奇等汽车制造商在改进汽车燃油效率和推出电动车方面的努力。 26．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“American muscle cars got their name because of their big, powerful engines and fast speed.(美国肌肉车之所以得名，是因为它们拥有庞大强劲的发动机和极快的速度。)”可知，美国肌肉车得名的原因是它们的高速和强大的发动机。故选B。 27．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The company will stop making gas-powered versions of the Challenger and Charger(车名)by the end of 2023. Many European automakers already have electric versions of their high-performance cars. Governments around the world are now requiring cars to create less pollution, and so is America. As a result, plenty of carmakers are starting to centre their production on electric cars.(该公司将在2023年底前停止生产汽油版的挑战者和充电器车型。许多欧洲汽车制造商已经推出了其高性能汽车的电动版。全球各国政府目前都在要求汽车减少污染，美国也不例外。因此，许多汽车制造商开始将生产重心转向电动汽车。)”以及第四段“Tim Kuniskis leads the Dodge division for Stellantis. “It’s tough,” he said when discussing the idea that governments are considering financial punishments for companies that do not meet new requirements to reduce fuel use. Sam Abuelsamid, a researcher for Guidehouse Insights, said some carmakers will keep making models with traditional engines for about 10 years.( Tim Kuniskis负责斯特兰蒂斯旗下的Dodge事业部。在讨论政府正在考虑对未达新减油要求的企业实施经济处罚的想法时，他表示：“这很难。”Guidehouse Insights的研究员Sam Abuelsamid说，一些汽车制造商将继续生产搭载传统发动机的车型，大约持续10年。)”可知，这两段主要讲述了从汽油动力汽车到电动汽车的转变，以及汽车制造商和政府对此的态度。故选C。 28．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Kuniskis, however, is a critic of his own company’s new electric Charger. “It doesn’t have the emotion,” he said, speaking of the electric cars. “It doesn’t have the drama. It doesn’t have the dangerous feeling of an engine.” But he did say that it would be the fastest ever. Times are changing. Businesses are starting to think about how to put electric driving systems into the “classic” cars.(然而，Kuniskis却对自家公司新推出的电动充电器车型持批评态度。“它没有那种激情，”他在谈到电动汽车时说，“它没有那种戏剧性。它也没有发动机带来的那种危险感。”但他也表示，这将是速度最快的车型。时代在变。企业开始思考如何将电动驱动系统融入“经典”汽车。)”可知，Kuniskis对于新电动汽车持反对的态度。故选D。 29．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“American muscle cars got their name because of their big, powerful engines and fast speed. Some of the gas-powered cars are so noisy, or even “thundering”. But interest worldwide in electric cars brings up this question: Can a muscle car go electric?(美国肌肉车之所以得名，是因为它们拥有庞大强劲的发动机和极快的速度。其中一些汽油动力汽车噪音极大，甚至“轰鸣作响”。但随着全球对电动汽车的兴趣日益浓厚，一个问题也随之浮现：肌肉车能变成电动车吗？)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕美国肌肉车是否能变成电动车进行了讨论，介绍了汽车制造商、研究者以及消费者对这一问题的看法和态度，同时提到了道奇等汽车制造商在改进汽车燃油效率和推出电动车方面的努力。所以，题目B“What Will Happen to the American “Muscle Car”?”最符合文章的主旨，能够概括文章的主要内容和讨论的话题。故选B。 （24-25高一上·山东泰安·期中）We all remember that first cry at the movies. Whether they are tears of joy or sadness, it’s quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen. In fact, it all comes from a plan. But what about those heart- breaking stories... for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world. Actually, many great kids’ movies filled with tragedy (悲剧) are purposefully meant to stir up kids’ strong feelings. According to Aristotle,  tragedy aids us in facing life’s unsolvable issues through sensible (理智的) thinking. Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids’ movies is to teach kids to handle, to understand and to heal. The hardest lesson for a child is how to deal with loss, especially if it’s sudden. The cartoon classic The Lion King tells the story of Simba, who experiences the loss of his father. Kids see themselves in Simba’s character. He has dreams. He has a desire to grow and be a part of a bigger world. But it is really heartbreaking to see the loss. Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it’s okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. It’s an important lesson we learned at a very young age. Sadness should not be ignored (忽视). It’s important to feel sad, and that is why these films are so great. In Dumbo, Charlotte’s Web and Bridge to Terabithia, we lose our beloved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it. So, what is the message behind a sad kids’ movie? It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion (缓冲垫) that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata. 30．Why does the author mention “first cry” in paragraph 1? A．To introduce the topic. B．To recommend a movie. C．To support an argument. D．To explain the reason. 31．What does the underlined phrase “Hakuna Matata” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Viewing sadness as a treatment. B．Seeking knowledge to enrich life. C．Challenging oneself with tragic losses. D．Heading forward without being caught. 32．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Children can find a way to hide sad feelings. B．Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy. C．Sad kids’ movies prepare children for tough times. D．Sad kids’ movies help children to escape from reality. 33．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Are Great Kids’ Movies So Sad? B．What Is the Power of Great Kids’ Movies? C．Life’s Hardest Lesson: How Kids’ Movies Inspire Us? D．Moving Beyond Reality: What Sad Kids’ Movies Teach Us? 【答案】30．A 31．D 32．C 33．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了悲伤的儿童电影如何通过悲剧情节帮助孩子们理解和处理失去等复杂情感，教会他们面对现实中的困难，并从中获得成长和独立。 30．推理判断题。根据第一段中“We all remember that first cry at the movies. Whether they are tears of joy or sadness, it’s quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen. In fact, it all comes from a plan. But what about those heart- breaking stories... for kids? (我们都记得看电影时的第一次哭泣。无论是喜悦的泪水还是悲伤的泪水，令人惊讶的是，人类的情感可以被屏幕上移动的图像所控制。事实上，这一切都源于一个计划。但是那些让孩子们心碎的故事呢)”可知，开头先提到看电影时的第一次哭泣，描述电影引起我们的情感反应，继而引出让孩子们心碎的电影故事，后文围绕悲伤的儿童电影及其背后的原因展开。由此可知，作者提到这个是为了引出文章的话题。故选A项。 31．词句猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. (它教给我们的是克服困难，继续前进)”和下文“Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it’s okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. (是的，《狮子王》里的那句话是要告诉孩子们，从悲剧中走出来是可以的，不要让它定义你)”可推知，画线部分Hakuna Matata !意为“向前走而不被困住”。故选D项。 32．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion (缓冲垫) that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata. (它的目的是教会观众，尤其是孩子，获得独立，如何从悲剧中解脱出来。它就像一个缓冲垫，把故事和现实分开。当孩子们真正来到这里时，它可以帮助他们处理悲伤的情绪，或者至少通过说“Hakuna Matata”来找到解脱)”可推知，这些电影让孩子们为艰难的时刻做好准备。故选C项。 33．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“But what about those heart-breaking stories… for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world. (但是那些让孩子们心碎的故事呢？他们似乎没有粉饰世界的现实)”可知，文章开篇提出了对于儿童电影中那些令人心碎的故事的疑问，然后围绕着儿童电影中存在悲剧元素展开论述，详细解释了许多儿童电影充满悲剧的原因。因此，文章是在探讨出色的儿童电影为何会有悲伤元素，A项“为什么出色的儿童电影如此悲伤”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选A项。 （24-25高二上·浙江·期中）A friend recently showed me her planned trip to Italy. Over cups of tea, she laid out the trip in military order-the Colosseum, Pompeii, Venice…By the time she was done I was exhausted, and 1 hadn’t even set foot outside the house. My way of travelling is different. I just pick a destination and then go there, leaving things to chance. This may not be for everybody, but leaping into the unknown, for me, has been great. Take Greenland, for example: 1 found myself in a tiny village of just 40 people, with no place to stay. The locals welcomed me warmly, and I enjoyed a delightful supper with an Inuit family, completed with fantastic stories never found in guidebooks. A few years back, driving through Iceland, I noticed an older woman sitting at a picnic table by a waterfall. I approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a source of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight. Wandering in Trinidad, I got on a coastal ship. On the way, a young woman talked to me and gave me a tip for a visit to a hidden local restaurant with delicious and affordable food. There, I enjoyed the meal surrounded by the relaxing local music. As a teacher, I encourage my students to travel．Most of them have never gone outside; others even never left their hometown. In many cases, they express a sense of fear, of going someplace where they won’t know anybody. I try to remove their anxieties by sharing my own travel experiences, and the message that there are good people everywhere, and friendships are waiting to be started. I once read a piece about regrets that people expressed later in their lives. One that struck me was, “I wish I had taken more chances.” Setting off little planning does mean taking a risk, but for me, it is rewarding. 34．Why did the author mention her friend’s travel plan? A．To recommend some best spots in Italy. B．To express her unconcern of friend’s plan. C．To introduce her different way of traveling. D．To show her tiredness of making travel plans. 35．What can you learn from the author’s travel experiences? A．She visited a village with large population in Greenland. B．She learnt fascinating stories about Inuit from guidebooks. C．She saw the waterfall advised by an old woman in Iceland. D．She enjoyed a meal in a local hidden restaurant in Trinidad. 36．What mainly stops the author’s students from traveling? A．Their lack of money. B．Their fear of unfamiliar places. C．Their dislike of travelling abroad. D．Their inability to leave hometown. 37．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Friendships Start in Trips B．A Man is Rewarded with Plans C．Travels Unprepared Bring Surprise D．Chances Favor the Focused Minds 【答案】34．C 35．D 36．B 37．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了我喜欢不事先计划的旅行方式，并且讲述了旅行过程中遇见的许多惊喜。 34．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“My way of travelling is different. I just pick a destination and then go there, leaving things to chance. (我的旅行方式与众不同。我只是选定一个目的地，然后就去那里，听天由命。)”可知，作者第一段提到朋友的旅行计划是为了引出下文自己与朋友截然不同的旅行方式。故选C项。 35．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“On the way, a young woman talked to me and gave me a tip for a visit to a hidden local restaurant with delicious and affordable food.There, I enjoyed the meal surrounded by the relaxing local music. (在路上，一位年轻女子与我交谈，并给我推荐了一家隐藏在当地、食物美味且价格实惠的餐厅。在那里，我在轻松的当地音乐中享受着美食。)”可知，作者在Trinidad旅行时，在当地一家隐蔽的餐馆享用了一顿美餐。故选D项。 36．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Most of them have never gone outside; others even never left their hometown. In many cases, they express a sense of fear, or going someplace where they won’t know anybody. (他们中的大多数从未出过国；还有一些人甚至从未离开过家乡。很多时候，他们表达的是一种恐惧，或是去一个不认识任何地方。)”可知，学生们不愿意出门旅行的原因主要是对未知的恐惧。故选B项。 37．主旨大意题。根据全文以及最后一段“One that struck me was, “I wish I had taken more chances.” Setting off little planning does mean taking a risk, but for me, it is rewarding. (有一个回答让我印象深刻：“我真希望我曾冒过更多的险。”不经过周密计划就开始行动确实意味着冒险，但对我来说，去做是值得的。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者不做计划旅游方式所带来的意外之惊喜。所以短文的标题为“毫无准备的旅行带来的惊喜”。故选C项。 （2022·河南·模拟预测）Country Boom July 7-9 at Bayfront Park ∣ Ages 16 ＋ Only 3-Day GA (General Admission) Ticket includes access to the concert grounds throughout the entire weekend (Thursday, Friday, & Saturday).

In recent years, Chinese technology companies have worked hard to speed up the commercial use of robotaxis. In March, Beijing gave autonomous driving permits to tech giant Baidu and self-driving startup Pony.ai to run fully driverless robotaxis on open roads. In June, Baidu carried out its driverless ride-hailing (叫车) service in Shenzhen, Guangdong. Its Apollo Go robotaxis have been put into use across an area of 188 square kilometers in Shenzhen from 7 am to 10 pm daily. Passengers can download apps like Apollo Go or Baidu Map to their smartphones, and tell the app where they are and where they want to go. Then, a car will appear. With sensors and cameras placed all over the car, a computer takes full control of the drive. A screen on the back seats shows how the robotaxi’s software looks at the space around the car to see other cars, humans, bikes, and anything else that might get in its way. “The robotaxi goes at about the same speed, providing a good driving experience,” a user posted on Xiaohongshu. As of the first quarter of 2023, the user satisfaction rating for the Apollo Go app has reached 4.9 out of 5, with the latest data showing that 97.12 percent of the reviews are five-star ratings. Meanwhile, drivers in the city can also enjoy the conveniences of smart transportation. In Guiyang, Guizhou, at some smart parking lots, drivers only need to park their cars at an induction (感应) line. A smart system can put the vehicles into a specific area. When drivers want to get back their cars, they make a request on the terminal (终端的) device and the car will come out of the parking lot by itself in about one minute.

In June, Baidu carried out its driverless ride-hailing (叫车) service in Shenzhen, Guangdong. Its Apollo Go robotaxis have been put into use across an area of 188 square kilometers in Shenzhen from 7 am to 10 pm daily. (今年3月，北京向科技巨头百度和自动驾驶初创公司小马智行颁发了自动驾驶许可证，允许它们在开放道路上运行完全无人驾驶的自动驾驶出租车。今年6月，百度在广东深圳推出了无人驾驶叫车服务。该公司的Apollo Go自动驾驶出租车已在深圳188平方公里的范围内投入使用，每天从早上7点运行到晚上10点)”可知，自动驾驶出租车开始在中国的一些城市运行。故选B项。 51．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Passengers can download apps like Apollo Go or Baidu Map to their smartphones, and tell the app where they are and where they want to go. Then, a car will appear. With sensors and cameras placed all over the car, a computer takes full control of the drive. A screen on the back seats shows how the robotaxi’s software looks at the space around the car to see other cars, humans, bikes, and anything else that might get in its way. (乘客可以将Apollo Go或百度地图等应用下载到他们的智能手机上，并告诉应用他们在哪里，他们想去哪里。然后，一辆汽车出现了。由于传感器和摄像头遍布汽车各处，计算机完全控制驾驶。后座上的屏幕显示了自动驾驶出租车的软件如何观察汽车周围的空间，以发现其他汽车、人类、自行车和任何可能妨碍它的东西)”可知，本段主要介绍了自动驾驶出租车的工作方式，包括乘客下载相关应用，提供出行的起点和终点信息，以及由计算机完全控制驾驶，观察行驶中的周边环境。故选A项。 52．推理判断题。根据第四段中“As of the first quarter of 2023, the user satisfaction rating for the Apollo Go app has reached 4.9 out of 5, with the latest data showing that 97.12 percent of the reviews are five-star ratings. (截至2023年第一季度，Apollo Go应用程序的用户满意度评分达到4.9分，满分为5分，最新数据显示，97.12%的评价是五星级)”可知，此处的数字与用户对Apollo Go的使用体验相关，体验评分很高，五星级评价的占比也很高。由此可知，提到这些数字是为了显示用户的满意度。故选B项。 53．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“With the emergence (出现) of intelligent transportation systems and the internet of things, the world is entering the next stage of movement — smart transportation. (随着智能交通系统和物联网的出现，世界正在进入下一个移动阶段——智能交通)”和最后一段“All in all, smart transportation uses new technologies to make moving around a city easier and safer. (总而言之，智能交通使用新技术使城市中的交通更容易、更安全)”可知，文章主要围绕智能交通的新发展展开，介绍了中国科技公司在推动自动驾驶出租车商业化，百度的Apollo Go自动驾驶出租车目前运行较好，给乘客带来了良好的体验，智能交通还为城市中的司机带来便利，使得停车更加方便和高效。由此可知，文章主要是侧重智能交通给人们生活带来的好处，B项“智能交通：更美好的生活”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
