外刊时文阅读理解B篇+C篇 专项练习-2025届高三下学期英语二轮复习专项

外刊时文 阅读理解 学段：高三 Passage 1 At Christmas, it's often the little things that hold the most meaning, as writer Harriet Minter shares in her piece “Filled with love”. Minter finds that while she's not fond of others choosing gifts for her, there's one aspect where she welcomes the gesture—the Christmas stocking. Each year, Minter writes a Christmas list for her family, but she doesn't enjoy the surprise of a gift she wouldn't have chosen herself. However, the Christmas stocking is a different story. Her mother has been filling stockings for her, her sister, and the whole family for decades, and now Minter does the same for her partner. The Christmas stocking is filled with a variety of small items. There are always chocolate coins, a pair of tights, and cotton wool pads. Seasonal decorations, a fun game from a cracker, and odds and ends like daily use makeup and self - care products such as shampoo and conditioner miniatures can also be found. There might even be dried herbs or spices and kitchen utensils. Minter views the stocking as more than just a collection of small gifts. It's a chance for the filler to understand the recipient's life in detail and make their daily life a bit easier. Buying a woman a piece of jewelry according to her taste is difficult, but choosing ten small items that enhance her daily life shows a true understanding of her. Maybe being truly seen and appreciated through such a simple act is the gift we all secretly hope to receive. 1. Why doesn't Minter like the surprise of a gift? A. Because the gifts are always too expensive. B. Because the gifts are usually not what she really wants. C. Because she prefers to choose gifts by herself. D. Because she doesn't like receiving gifts. 2. What can we know about the Christmas stocking from the passage? A. It only contains expensive items. B. Minter started the tradition of filling stockings. C. It is filled with a wide range of small items. D. People don't value the items in the stocking. 3. What does Minter think is the true meaning of the Christmas stocking? A. It is a way to show off one's wealth. B. It is a chance to exchange gifts with others. C. It is a collection of various beautiful things. D. It is an expression of understanding and care. 4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Christmas Gifts: Big or Small? B. The Tradition of Christmas Stockings C. Filled with Love: The Magic of Christmas Stockings D. Harriet Minter's Christmas Lists 答案 1. B 解析：根据文中 “I don't enjoy the surprise of a perfectly chosen gift that I would never have thought to ask for” 可知，Minter 不喜欢礼物的惊喜是因为这些礼物通常不是她真正想要的，所以选 B。 2. C 解析：从文中 “The Christmas stocking is filled with a variety of small items. There are always chocolate coins... and kitchen utensils” 可知，圣诞长袜里装满了各种各样的小物件，C 选项正确。A 选项 “只包含昂贵物品” 错误；文中提到 Minter 的母亲几十年前就开始为家人准备圣诞长袜，不是 Minter 开始这个传统，B 选项错误；D 选项 “人们不重视长袜里的物品” 在文中未提及，错误。 3. D 解析：依据 “Minter views the stocking as more than just a collection of small gifts. It's a chance for the filler to understand the recipient's life in detail and make their daily life a bit easier” 以及 “Maybe being truly seen and appreciated through such a simple act is the gift we all secretly hope to receive” 可知，Minter 认为圣诞长袜是理解和关爱的一种表达，所以选 D。 4. C 解析：文章主要讲述了 Harriet Minter 对圣诞长袜的看法，强调了圣诞长袜里装满了爱与关怀，C 选项 “Filled with Love: The Magic of Christmas Stockings” 最能概括文章主旨；A 选项重点在礼物大小，偏离主题；B 选项只强调了传统，没有突出长袜所蕴含的爱；D 选项 “Harriet Minter 的圣诞清单” 并非文章重点，所以选 C。 Passage 2 The Paris Agreement aims to tackle climate change, yet it's currently off track. However, there's new hope in the fight against climate change through methane reduction. Methane, the second - most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas, has seen a concerning growth of around 15 parts per billion per year. At the 2021 United Nations climate change conference (COP26), the Global Methane Pledge was launched. It calls on 150 countries to cut anthropogenic methane emissions by 30% by 2030. If these pledges are fully carried out, the Paris Agreement still has a chance to succeed. But for many significant nations, there's a gap between promises and real - world actions that urgently needs fixing. China, the world's biggest emitter, didn't join the pledge, while major emitters like India, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, or South Africa also stayed out. However, China's methane emissions in 2019 were about 65 million tonnes (Mt), or just 15 - 20% of global anthropogenic emissions. China's new plan for methane control shows its importance, though it lacks set time - bound targets. To reach the goal of cutting emissions by around 20% by 2030, China must take action in sectors like coal, waste, and livestock. In comparison, from 2002 to 2009, Britain reduced methane emissions by 20% to 30%, and now its emissions are lower than China's. India's mitigation efforts are uneven, with some sectors showing low - or negative - growth in emissions. If the Global Methane Pledge is effectively implemented, it can bring significant benefits to China and the world, potentially helping to address air pollution and the risk of the Paris Agreement failing. It's crucial for all countries to prioritize methane reduction and work together to give the Paris Agreement a real chance. 1. What is the current situation of the Paris Agreement? A. It has achieved all its goals successfully. B. It is on track and will meet its goals soon. C. It is not on track to meet its goals. D. It has been abandoned by most countries. 2. What can we know about the Global Methane Pledge? A. It was launched at COP28. B. It requires 150 countries to double methane emissions by 2030. C. Its full implementation may help the Paris Agreement succeed. D. Only a few countries have joined it so far. 3. What is the author's attitude towards China's role in methane reduction? A. China should not join the Global Methane Pledge. B. China's current methane emissions are too high. C. China needs to set clear time - bound targets for methane reduction. D. China's new plan for methane control is useless. 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The Paris Agreement is a failure. B. Methane reduction offers new hope for the Paris Agreement. C. Different countries' methane emissions and reduction efforts. D. How to calculate methane emissions accurately. 答案 1. C 解析：根据文中 “The Paris Agreement is not on track to meet its goals” 可知，《巴黎协定》目前未按计划实现目标，所以选 C。 2. C 解析：从文中 “If these pledges are fully carried out, the Paris Agreement still has a chance to succeed” 可知，《全球甲烷承诺》的全面实施可能有助于《巴黎协定》取得成功，C 选项正确。该承诺是在 COP26 上发起的，A 选项错误；它要求 150 个国家到 2030 年将人为甲烷排放量减少 30%，而不是翻倍，B 选项错误；文中未提及目前加入的国家数量少，D 选项错误。 3. C 解析：依据 “China's new plan for methane control shows its importance, though it lacks set time - bound targets. To reach the goal of cutting emissions by around 20% by 2030, China must take action” 可知，作者认为中国在甲烷减排方面需要设定明确的有时限的目标，所以选 C。 4. B 解析：文章开头指出《巴黎协定》面临困境，接着围绕甲烷减排展开，说明《全球甲烷承诺》若能有效实施对《巴黎协定》的积极意义，所以文章主要讲的是甲烷减排为《巴黎协定》带来新希望，B 选项正确。A 选项与原文不符；C 选项只是文章部分内容；D 选项 “如何准确计算甲烷排放量” 在文中未提及。 Passage 3 In the realm of scientific and environmental news, several significant events have taken place. At the COP28 climate summit, Sultan Al Jaber, an oil company executive and the summit's president, stated that he respects science in all his actions. He also claimed that no scientific evidence shows that phasing out fossil fuels would achieve climate targets, which has sparked discussions. In space - related cooperation, there's a rare instance of U.S. - Chinese collaboration. NASA is encouraging the researchers it funds to apply to China's space agency for access to lunar soil and rock samples brought back by China's Chang'e 5 mission in 2020. Usually, such collaborations are restricted by U.S. law, but NASA argues that the scientific value of these samples, which may hold clues to volcanic activity, justifies a one - time exception. Some U.S. researchers have already worked with Chinese colleagues on related studies by using NASA - funded resources. The samples, of which China's National Space Administration holds 1.7 kilograms, were previously reserved only for Chinese researchers. In the biomedical field, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has paused a major human trial of an experimental drug aimed at protecting the brain after a stroke. This decision came after a safety investigation into the drug, which was sponsored by a company called ZZ Biotech. The NIH identified potential scientific misconduct in dozens of papers related to the drug. Meanwhile, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is looking into a “serious risk” in some cases where a type of blood cancer has occurred after using CAR - T cell cancer - treatment therapy. 1. What did Sultan Al Jaber claim at the COP28 climate summit? A. Fossil fuels should be phased out immediately to achieve climate targets. B. There is scientific evidence showing that phasing out fossil fuels can achieve climate targets. C. No science indicates that phasing out fossil fuels would accomplish climate targets. D. He doesn't respect the science in dealing with climate issues. 2. Why is NASA encouraging U.S. researchers to apply for China's moon samples? A. Because the U.S. has no moon samples of its own. B. Because the samples may have scientific value related to volcanic activity. C. Because it wants to break the U.S. law restriction. D. Because China is inviting U.S. researchers to study the samples. 3. What can we know about the biomedical news in the passage? A. The NIH has stopped a minor trial of a drug for a common cold. B. ZZ Biotech is satisfied with the NIH's decision. C. The FDA is investigating a risk in some cancer - treatment cases. D. CAR - T cell cancer - treatment therapy is completely safe. 4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The Latest Scientific and Environmental News B. U.S. - Chinese Space Cooperation C. Biomedical Research Progress D. The COP28 Climate Summit 答案 1. C 解析：根据文中 “At the COP28 climate summit, Sultan Al Jaber... claimed that no scientific evidence shows that phasing out fossil fuels would achieve climate targets” 可知，Sultan Al Jaber 声称没有科学证据表明淘汰化石燃料能实现气候目标，所以选 C。 2. B 解析：从 “NASA argues that the scientific value of these samples, which may hold clues to volcanic activity, justifies a one - time exception” 可知，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）鼓励美国研究人员申请中国的月球样本是因为这些样本可能具有与火山活动相关的科学价值，所以选 B。 3. C 解析：依据 “Meanwhile, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is looking into a ‘serious risk’ in some cases where a type of blood cancer has occurred after using CAR - T cell cancer - treatment therapy” 可知，美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）正在调查一些癌症治疗案例中的风险，所以选 C。 4. A 解析：文章分别讲述了 COP28 气候峰会相关言论、中美太空合作以及生物医学领域的新闻，A 选项 “The Latest Scientific and Environmental News”（最新的科学与环境新闻）能概括文章内容；B、C、D 选项都只是文章的部分内容，不能全面概括，所以选 A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$外刊时文 阅读理解 学段：高三 Passage 1 At Christmas, it's often the little things that hold the most meaning, as writer Harriet Minter shares in her piece “Filled with love”.
