Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany The beauty of Neuschwanstein, perched high on a hill in southwest Bavaria, inspired one of America’s most famous castles: Disneyland’s famed Sleeping Beauty castle. The slender spires and towering roofs are impressive, but nothing compared to the brilliantly decorated interiors. Windsor Castle, England This castle in the historic market town of Windsor has been the family home to kings and queens for over 1,000 years. The castle is the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world. Guests are welcome to tour year-round. When the Royal Standard flag is flying from the castle’s Round Tower, the queen is home. Eltz Castle, Germany Medieval Eltz Castle, located in Wierschem of western Germany, was built in the 12th century and is named for the family that still owns it today. Surrounded by forest, it was erected on a 230-foot rock and features eight towers that sit 115 feet in the sky. Inside, the castle still includes many of its original furnishings. Bran Castle, Romania Some people call Bran Castle, located southwest of Brasov, Romania, another name: Dracula’s Castle. It’s just one of many castles linked to that vampire （吸血鬼） legend, but its dramatic architecture built on a steep cliff helps it fill the part, and the castle does not shy away from the legend. （4） Which of the following about Windsor Castle is true? A. It is open throughout the year. B. It has a history of less than 1,000 years. C. The royal family don’t live there any longer. D. You can see the queen whenever you go there. 答案：A 解析：是非判断题，运用题干定位法和词语复现法解题。根据题干中的 Windsor Castle 可定位至 Windsor Castle, England 部分。根据倒数第二句“Guests are welcome to tour year-round.（全年都欢迎游客。）”可知，Windsor Castle 一整年都开放，throughout the year 与 year-round 为同义表达，故选 A 项。 （5） What do the last two castles have in common?

In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner. “Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart. Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic （无氧） exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health. “We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30- or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump （泵送） a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says. “The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.” Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference. （1） What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band? A. The right way of exercising. B. The causes of a heart attack. C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The aging process of the heart. 答案：D 解析：细节推断题，利用特定细节信息解题。根据题干中的 the rubber band 可定位至第二段。根据前三句“‘Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,’ says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart.（‘ 想想橡皮筋。一开始，它是有弹性的，但把它放在抽屉里 20 年，它就会变得干燥，很容易破碎，’ 德克萨斯大学的心脏专家 Ben Levine 博士说。心脏的变化也是如此。）”可以推测出，Ben Levine 想利用橡皮筋来解释心脏的老化过程，故选 D 项。 （2） What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest? A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants. C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study. 答案：C 解析：细节推断题，利用 特 定 细 节 信 息 解 题 。根据题干中的 Dr. Nieca Goldberg 可定位至文章最后一段。根据最后一句“But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.（但这项研究的规模很小，需要在更广泛的人群中重复进行，以确定日常锻炼的哪些方面会产生最大的影响。）”可以推测出，Nieca Goldberg 博士建议进行进一步的研究，故选C 项。 4. 整合全文（段）信息进行推断 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （2022 北京真题） My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled （削弱） my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me. One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began. A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence. I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle （障碍） this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action. （3） What can we learn from this passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Patience is a cure of anxiety. C. Action is worry’s worst enemy. D. Everything comes to those who wait. 答案：C 解析：细节推断题，利用全文（段）信息进行推断。由第一段第二句“Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled my ability to do anything.”可知，作者之前被焦虑困扰，削弱了她做任何事情的能力；由第三段最后两句中的“soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.”可知，作者后来成为致力于自 然保护的全球年轻人团队的一名成员，并且变得更加自信；再由最后一段最后两句的“I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action.”可知，作者认为要抓住每一个机会，并且要付诸行动。综合以上信息可以推测出行动是消除焦虑最好的方式，也是焦虑最大的敌人，故选 C 项。 5. 根据文章主题推断写作意图 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选 出最佳选项。 （2023 北京真题） In recent years, researchers from diverse fields have agreed that short-termism is now a significant problem in industrialised societies. The inability to engage with longer-term causes and consequences leads to some of the world’s most serious problems: climate change, biodiversity collapse, and more. The historian Francis Cole argues that the West has entered a period where “only the present exists, a present characterised at once by the cruelty of the instant and by the boredom of an unending now”. It has been proved that people have a bias （偏向） towards the present, focusing on loud attractions in the moment at the expense of the health, well-being and financial stability of their future selves or community. In business, this bias surfaces as short-sighted decisions. And on slow-burning problems like climate change, it translates into the unwillingness to make small sacrifices （牺牲） today that could make a major difference tomorrow. Instead, all that matters is next quarter’s profit, or satisfying some other near-term desires. These biased perspectives cannot be blamed on one single cause. It is fair to say, though, that our psychological biases play a major role. People’s hesitancy to delay satisfaction is the most obvious example, but there are others. One of them is about how the most accessible information in the present affects decisions about the future. For instance, you might hear someone say: “It’s cold this winter, so I needn’t worry about global warming.” Another is that loud and urgent matters are given too much importance, making people ignore longer-term trends that arguably matter more. This is when a pop star draws far more attention than, say, gradual biodiversity decline. As a psychologist once joked, if aliens （外星人） wanted to weaken humanity, they wouldn’t send ships; they would invent climate change. Indeed, when it comes to environmental transformations, we can develop a form of collective “poor memory”， and each new generation can believe the state of affairs they encounter is nothing out of the ordinary. Older people today, for example, can remember a time with insect-covered car windscreens after long drives. Children, on the other hand, have no idea that insect population has dropped dramatically. （4）What does the author intend to tell us? A. Far-sighted thinking matters to humans. B. Humans tend to make long-term sacrifices. C. Current policies facilitate future decision-making. D. Bias towards the present helps reduce near-term desires. 答案：A 解析：写作意图题，利用文章主题推断写作意图。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段第一、二句“In recent years, researchers from diverse fields have agreed that short-termism is now a significant problem in industrialised societies. The inability to engage with longer-term causes and consequences leads to some of the world’s most serious problems: climate change, biodiversity collapse, and more.（近年来，不同领域的研究人员一致认为，短期效益主义目前是工业化社会的一个显著问题。无法处理长期的起因和后果导致了世界上一些最严重的问题：气候变化、生物多样 性崩溃等等。）”和第三段倒数第二句“Another is that loud and urgent matters are given too much importance, making people ignore longer-term trends that arguably matter more.（另一个原因是人类过于重视重大而紧迫的事情，从而忽视了可以说更重要的长期趋势。）”可推知，作者想告诉我们深思远虑对人类来说很重要，故选 A 项。 6. 根据文章结构及语言特色推断文章出处或阅读对象 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （2022 全国Ⅰ真题） In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N.Y.—Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a oneroom schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter. Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken. They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to fifind the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice. In Wickenden’s book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course inflfluenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed （牵涉） drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn. Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism （坚忍） of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: “When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.” （5） What is the text? A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A children’s story. D. A diary entry 答案：B 解析：文章出处题，利用文章结构和内容推断文章出处。分析文章结构和内容，第一段结尾表明 Dorothy和 Rosamond 支教的故事是 Dorothy Wickenden 所著 的 Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West 这本书的主题，第二至四段讲述了书里描述的内容以及结局，最后一段更是直接指出 Dorothy Wickenden 是一位出色的讲故事的人，解释了她的写作动机并引用了书中一段精彩的文字。综合上述内容可知，这样的文章结构和内容应属于书评，故选 B 项。 7. 根据特定词汇推断观点态度 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （2023 全国Ⅱ真题） I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’ s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy （哲学）． That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you—and then try to explain them. Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy. Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context （背景） of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life. He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding （解读） their messages and adding his own interpretation. The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of. （6）What does the author think of Weiner’s book? A. Objective and plain. B. Daring and ambitious. C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Humorous and straightforward 答案：D 解析：观点态度题，利用特定词汇推断观点态度。根据倒数第二段第一句中的 humor，该段最后一句中的 adding his own interpretation 以及最后一段第一句“The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity...”可知，作者认为 Weiner 的书既幽默风趣又简单易懂，故选 D 项。 随堂普查练 16 Ⅱ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A （2023 全国Ⅰ真题） Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape （风景） can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation. Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz （石英） rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route （路线） so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. （1）How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? A. By teaming up with other photographers. B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks. C. By studying the geographical conditions. D. By creating settings in the corn fields. （2）What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A. Proper time management. B. Good shooting techniques. C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles. （3）What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake? A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D. They had problems with their equipment. （4）How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake? A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting （1）答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.”可知，作为一名中西部地区的风景摄影师，作者应对挑战的方式是去乡村或州立公园拍摄，故选 B 项。 （2）答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography.”可知，在任何摄影风格中，在正确的时间出现在正确的地点是很关键的；根据该段最后一句“I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.”可知，作者错过了很多美丽的日出和日落，因为他只在最佳时刻到来前五分钟到达现场。因此作者认为，风景摄影成功的关键是合理管理时间，故选 A 项。 （3）答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, we did not mark the route so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. （然而，我们没有标记路线，所以我们几乎完全错过了日落。）”可推知，作者到达拍摄地点的时间比预期的要晚，故选 C 项。 （4）答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. （尽管如此，回顾这些照片，它们仍然是我拍过最好的一些照片，尽管如果我能做好准备，明智地管理时间，它们可能会更好。）”可推知，作者认为自己拍摄的照片是令人满意的，故选 B 项。 B （2023 新高考Ⅱ真题） Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books”，artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed （描 绘） alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to. Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect （才智）, wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century pointof view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity. （5）Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on the art of writing. C．A guidebook to a museum. D. A review of modern paintings. （6）What are the selected artworks about? A. Wealth and intellect. B. Home and school. C. Books and reading. D. Work and leisure. （7）What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Understand. B. Paint. C. Seize. D. Transform. （8）What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader? A. The printed book is not totally out of date. B. Technology has changed the way we read. C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked. D. People now rarely have the patience to read. （5）答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“In this ‘book of books’, artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. （在这本 ‘ 书之书 ’ 中，艺术品的选择和排列方式强调了不同时代和文化之间的联系。）”和最后一段第二句“From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery powered e-reader. （从 21 世纪的角度来看，这本印刷书无疑是古老的，但它仍然像任何电池供电的电子阅读器一样具有互动性。）”可推知，本文最有可能选自一本书的介绍，故选A 项。 （6）答案：C 解析：细节理解题。通过文章第二段第一、二句中的“artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations （艺术品的选择和排列方式强调了不同时代和文化之间的联系。我们看到孩子们在家里或学校学习阅读的场景，这本书是几代人之间关系的焦点）”可知，选定的艺术品是关于书籍和阅读的，故选 C 项。 （7）答案：A 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文“We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. （我们看到孩子们在家里或学校学习阅读的场景，这本书是几代人之间关系的焦点。）”以及画线短语所在句中的“These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all... （这些场景可能是数百年前绘制的，但它们记录了一些我们都可以……的时刻 ）”可 推知，此处指书籍是几代人之间相互联系和理解的纽带，故与画线短语 relate to 意思最相近的是 A 项Understand （理解），故选 A 项。 （8）答案：A 解析：推理判断题。通过文章最后一段第二句中的“but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader （但它仍然像任何电池供电的电子阅读器一样具有互动性）”以及最后一句中的“a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, ‘off-line’activity （一本印刷书籍仍然提供了完全私人的 ‘ 离线 ’ 活动的机会）”可推知，本文作者提到电子阅读器想表达的是印刷书籍并没有完全过时，故选 A 项。 8. 通过语境逻辑猜测代词所指代的内容 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （2024浙江1月真题） When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call—not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was... 2006. I was conducting auditions（试演） for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more “young professional”. （1） What does the word “it” underlined in the paragraph refer to? A. The play. B. The shared house. C. The sofa. D. The telephone box. （1） 答案： B 解析：代词指代题。根据本段最后两句可知，作者为了组织剧本试演，特意布置了房间，以使房子看起来更像一个“年轻的专业人士”的生活空间，所以画线词 it指代的是作者的合租房，故选B项。 9. 通过上下文语境猜测词义 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （2023 浙江 1 月真题） Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon. I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household. Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging. （2）What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph? A. Share an apartment with you. B. Join you in what you’re doing. C. Transform your way of living. D. Help you to make the decision. 答案：B 解析：词义猜测题，利用上下文语境猜测词义。根据第二段第一句“I experienced this... I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me.”和第三段第二、三句“I remember showing my parents a video... and my dad commented on how silly it was formed to carry jars everywhere. ”可知，作者五年前转向零废弃的生活方式时，与作者同住的父母以及后来她的丈夫，并没有准备好追随这种零废弃的可持续发展的生活方式。作者的父亲认为带罐子去买杂货是愚蠢的，她的丈夫也不像她一样完全遵循零废弃的生活方式。由此可知，B 项“Join you in what you’re doing. （同你一起做你所做的事。）”与“jump on that bandwagon （追随潮流；跟风）”释义相近。此处的“潮流”指“零废弃的生活方式”。故选 B 项。 10. 通过上下文的逻辑关系猜测词义 / 句意 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A （2022 浙江 6 月真题） In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist. How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood（情绪） and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort. （3） The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 2 refers to someone who _____________. A. is good at handling pressure B. works hard to become successful C. has a natural talent for his job D. gets on well with his co-workers 答案：B 解析：词义猜测题，利用上下文逻辑关系猜测词义。根据画线单词下文“while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office（而那些在会议室吃饭时闲聊的同事们则得到来自高级办公室里的不屑的目光）”可知，while前后是对比关系，那些在会议室吃饭时闲聊的同事会得到领导不屑的目光，即被认为不努力工作。相反，那些在办公桌前吃午饭的年轻银行家可能被视为是一个努力工作以求成功的人，由此可知，画线单词 go-getter 指的是那些努力工作以求成功的人，故选 B 项。 B （2024 全国Ⅱ真题） Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that’s been present in all kinds of predators（食肉动物）. Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it’s been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it! （4）Which best explains the phrase “take... up a notch” in this paragraph? A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster. C. Act strangely. D. Do better. （4） 答案： D 解析：词义猜测题。根据本段中的Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit 可知，狗经常从外面带回来物品，画线部分所在句的下文提到猫会给它们的主人带回礼物来表达它们对主人的爱，这是它们与生俱来的本能，由此可知，在从外面带回物品这方面，猫将这一行为提到了一个更高的层次，do better与画线部分意思最接近，故选D项。 11. 通过定义或解释猜测词义 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （江苏南京、盐城三模） Migratory （迁徙的） birds are declining globally because of the way that humans have changed the landscape over recent decades—according to new research from the University of East Anglia （UEA）. A new study published today reveals that population declines have been greatest among species that migrate to areas with more human infrastructure—roads, buildings, power lines, wind turbines （涡轮机）—as well as more population and hunting levels. （5） What does the underlined word “infrastructure” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Basic systems and services. B. Local transportation. C. Internet facilities. D. Power supplies. 答案：A 解析：词义猜测题，利用表示解释的标点符号和解释内容猜测词义。破折号后的内容通常是对前文内容的解释说明。根据破折号后的内容“roads, buildings, power lines, wind turbines （道路、建筑物、输电线、风力涡轮机）”可推知，画线单词 infrastructure 指一些基础设施及服务，A 项“Basic systems and services（基础系统和服务）”符合题意，故选 A 项。 12. 通过构词法猜测词义 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （湖南长沙长郡中学模拟） Luke Grenfell-Shaw has a rare form of cancer. It started as a pain in his shoulder and the tumor spread to his lungs, making it stage four. The Oxford graduate was teaching English in Siberia when he suffered shoulder pain and saw the school nurse. It was her reaction to a lump on his back that sent him back home to Bristol. “I was 24 years old. I had done an ultra marathon,” Luke said. “48 hours later, I was back in hospital in the UK.” On June 19, 2018, doctors told Luke that he had cancer. “I had kind of worked out that it was cancer, but what kind of blew me away was the fact that it was stage four cancer,” says Luke. “That day, my life felt like it had disintegrated. My life had been comfortable and conventional. I worked hard and got rewards in terms of education, jobs, things like that. That was all taken away?” On the day of his diagnosis, Luke had one clear thought in his mind that he wanted to cycle around the world. Itwas something he had always hoped to do, but the cancer news made him realize that he couldn’t put it off. （6） The underlined word “disintegrated” in paragraph 2 means “_____________”. A. disputed B. broken C. disappointed D. confused 答案：B 解析：词义猜测题，利用构词法猜测词义。分析画线词可知，它是由否定前缀 dis- 和动词 integrate 构成的，否定前缀 dis- 表示“相反；不”，integrate 意为“合并；成为一体”，由此推断，画线词意为“瓦解；崩溃”，故选 B 项。 随堂普查练 16 Ⅲ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四 个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A （2022 新高考Ⅱ真题） We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal. This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures—a perfect match for his age. Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes （戳） the page with his finger. What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that. Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your hightech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province. Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star—two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet. （1）What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2? A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me. C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me. （2） Why did the kid poke the storybook? A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures. C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself. （3） What does the author think of himself? A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive. C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent. （4） What can we learn about the author as a journalist? A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television. C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars. （1）答案：B 解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段“We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.”可知，作者是一名记者，生活在一个讲故事的新时代，有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到这个时代是新的。对他们来说，这很正常。画线词后文所描述的情景：作者给两岁的孙子看图画书时发现，孙子误把图画书当成了平板电脑，于是不停地戳书，印证了上一段所提到的现象，即作者更加清楚地认识到这一事实；由此推知，hit home for me 表示“我很清楚”，故选B 项。 （2）答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第二、三、四句“He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.（事实上，他对书本并不熟悉。他父亲经常用加载了彩色图片的平板电脑逗他开心，在平板电脑上戳一下这些图片，图片就会变得栩栩如生。他认为我的故事书也是那样的。）”可知，孩子戳故事书是因为他把故事书当成了平板电脑，故选 A 项。 （3）答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后四句“Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobilepayment. I’ve even built websites. （我可能老了，从数码角度来说，我受到了挑战，但并没有糟糕透顶。我编辑视频，制作音频。我用移动支付。我甚至建立了网站。）”可知，作者认为自己懂数码技术，故选 D 项。 （4）答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段首句“There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio.（然而，在我的新媒体体验中有一个明显的差距：我很少在镜头前待着，因为我的脸是为电台而生的。）”可知，作者作为记者很少上电视，故选 B 项。 B （2024 新高考Ⅰ真题） Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material? The answers to both questions are often “no.” The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset（心态） and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content. When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple task—like identifying the main idea in a reading passage— to ones that require mental abstraction—such as drawing inferences from a text. The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper’s physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis（假说） .” According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print. Audio（音频） and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies—say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces. Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words. （5）What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Seem unlikely to last. B. Seem hard to explain. C. Become ready to use. D. Become easy to notice. （6）What does the shallowing hypothesis assume? A. Readers treat digital texts lightly. B. Digital texts are simpler to understand. C. People select digital texts randomly. D. Digital texts are suitable for social media. （7）Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers? A. They can hold students’ attention. B. They are more convenient to prepare. C. They help develop advanced skills. D. They are more informative than text. （8）What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Students should apply multiple learning techniques. B. Teachers should produce their own teaching material. C. Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education. D. Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored. （5）答案：D 解析：词义猜测题 。根据第二段前两句“When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding.”可知，在阅读几百字的文本时，纸质阅读比屏幕阅读的学习效果更好，并且大量研究已经证实了这一发现。由此可推知，画线词所在句表达的是，当实验人员把任务从易（比如找到阅读文章的主旨）到难（需要抽象思维，比如从文本中推断出结论）推进时，纸质阅读的优势尤为明显，也就是变得容易被人注意到（become easy to notice），故选 D 项。 （6）答案： A 解析：推理判断题。第四段最后一句“According to this theory, people... than when they are reading print.” 是对shallowing hypothesis（浅层阅读假说）的解释说明。人们对待数字文本的态度与对待社交媒体的态度相当，社交媒体通常不那么严肃，相比纸质阅读，人们投入的脑力要少，也就是读者对数字文本持不严肃、轻松的态度。treat sth. lightly意为“轻松地对待某事”，故选 A 项。 （7）答案： A 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Audio and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies...”可知，大学教师越来越多地使用音频和视频，是因为它们比文本更有吸引力，也就是能够保持学生的注意力，hold students’ attention是engaging 的同义替换，故选A 项。 （8）答案： C 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.”可知，教育工作者不应该认为所有媒介的效果是一样的。此外，本文主要介绍了纸质阅读在学习效果方面相较于数字阅读的优势，暗示了纸质文本在教育领域中的不可替代性，故选 C 项。 13. 把握段落结构，利用段落中心句概括段落大意 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （2026 改编） It’s no small task to give waste fishing nets a second act. The nets are typically made of a substance called nylon which tends to dramatically degrade （降解） the longer it sits in the ocean and is exposed to the sun. “This makes it nearly impossible to use abandoned fishing nets directly,” Rathore explains. Besides, high-performance smartphone, tablet, or PC has to be waterproof and can survive severe weather. The nylon in the fishing nets falls far short of that level of durability （耐用）. （1） What is the main idea of this paragraph? A. The low level of durability of nylon. B. The second act of waste fishing nets. C. The great difficulty in reusing waste fishing nets. D. The electronic products can survive severe weather. 答案：C 解析：段落大意题，利用段落中心句概括段落大意。分析段落内容和结构可知，段落首句“It’s no small task to give waste fishing nets a second act.（让废旧渔网重获新生并不是一个小任务。）”为本段中心句，由此可知，本段主要讲述了重复使用废旧渔网的难度很大，C 项是中心句的同义表述，故选 C 项。A 项属于以偏概全，只概括了尼龙材料的低耐用性；B 项属于曲解文意，原文是说让废旧渔网重获新生并不是一个小任务，而并非废旧渔网的重获新生；D 项属于以偏概全，只讲述了段落中的某一个细节。 14. 分析段落内容，概括段落大意 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （2023 全国Ⅰ真题） If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate （有文字的） societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things. （2）What is this paragraph mainly about? A. How past events should be presented. B. What humanity is concerned about. C. Whether facts speak louder than words. D. Why written language is reliable. 答案：A 解析：段落大意题，通过分析段落内容概括段落大意。分析本段内容可知，如果想要客观公平地讲述全球历史，仅仅通过文字资料是不可行的，因为世界上大多数地区在很长一段时间内都没有文字，文字是后来才出现的。而且，即使有文字的地区也会用实物来记载重要的事情，所以 A 项“How past events should be presented. （历史事件应该如何呈现。）”是本段主要讲述的内容。故选 A 项。 15. 把握文章结构，利用文章主题句概括文章主旨 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （2026 改编） In today’s world, online social media has become more powerful and the most destructive thing worldwide. Although with time all generations have come to accept the changes the social network has brought about, teenagers and young adults are the most enthusiastic users of these sites. According to various research studies in the fifield of online social networks, it has been revealed that these sites are impacting the lives of the youth greatly. When using these sites such as Twitter, Facebook or Myspace, there are both positive and negative effects on the youth. Firstly, social media helps the youth and any other user updated with what is happening around the world, and helps the teenagers stay connected and interact with each other even if they are many miles apart. This strengthens their relationship. Even if they finish school and move to different locations, they can stay connected through social media and update one another. In addition, social media sites have provided a platform whereby the youth can create groups and pages based on their common discipline and end up building connections and opportunities for their respective careers by updating different topics to discuss. Youth who have been interviewed say that social media has become their lifestyle and it makes their lives easier and more efficient. While on the one hand social network sites seem to bring people together and help them stay connected, on the other hand it causes many physical and mental health problems such as eyes infection, back problems, etc. Other negative effects of the social network various people suggested include encouraging poor spelling and grammar, exposing the underage to online predators （捕食者）, allowing spread of misinformation that is seen as fact, decreasing productivity as those who are supposed to be working spend time in the sites to chat, providing a perfect platform for cyberbullying and providing details that increase risks of identity theft. “The more social media we have, the more we think were connecting, yet we are really disconnecting from each other,” one researcher said. In conclusion, the social network clearly portrays both positive and negative effects on the youth. It is the decision of individuals whether to use it in a right way or not. （3） What is the passage mainly about? A. The research on online social media. B. The correct way to use online social media. C. The introduction of online social media history. D. The influence of online social media on the youth. 答案：D 解析：文章主旨题，利用文章主题句概括文章主旨。分析文章结构可知，本文采用“总—分—总”的结构展开叙述，作者在首段末尾提出主题思想：使用这些在线社交媒体对年轻人既有积极的影响，也有消极的影响。同时，文章结尾呼应首段，总结说明社交网络对年轻人既有正面也有负面影响，但关键还是看个人如何使用。因此，本文主要讲述在线社交媒体对青年人的影响，故选 D 项。A 项属于扩大主题，本文以在线社交媒体的研究引入，主要讨论在线社交媒体对年轻人的积极影响和消极影响，而不是主要讨论在线社交媒体，因此排除 A 项。B、C 项属于无中生有，文中没有介绍使用社交媒体的正确方法，也没有介绍在线社交媒体的历史，因此排除 B、C 项。 16. 分析、归纳文章事实信息，概括文章主旨 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （2024 新高考Ⅱ真题） We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more. BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens. Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started. Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions（排放） from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment. BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee. （4） What does the text mainly talk about? A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards. （4） 答案A 解析：主旨大意题。本文第一段以新鲜食物的重要性及商店农产品运输的问题为导入，引出巴比伦微农场，指出其可缩短运输路程的优势。第二段强调巴比伦微农场通过创新设计，能保证新鲜蔬菜的供应。第三段详细说明巴比伦微农场依靠新技术，在节水等方面的优势。最后两段指出其在可持续发展方面的优势。故整篇文章围绕巴比伦微农场的优势展开介绍，故选A项。 17. 把握文章结构，利用文章主题句归纳文章标题 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 （黑龙江大庆二模） Far below every town and city lies an invisible network of pipes crucial to the lives of their residents. Once water disappears down a pipe or toilet, people rarely think about what happens to it. It’s out of sight, out of mind. The water flows into pipes that carry excess rainwater, wastewater and solid waste away, keeping the city clean. There are three main types of sewers （下水道）: sanitary （卫 生的） sewers, storm sewers and combined sewers. Taipei has both sanitary and storm sewers where rainwater and sewage are collected using different pipes. This sewer system functions as a city’s veins （静脉）. Water containing human and industrial waste is collected in sanitary sewers and conveyed to sewage treatment plants, the heart of the sewer system, where waste is treated. There, the solid waste is separated from the water, which is then cleaned before being released back into the environment. It will be reused for industrial, agricultural or environmental purposes or to produce energy. Furthermore, the mud and gas from sewage treatment can be used to produce energy. They not only contribute to a healthy environment and good quality of life, but also achieve the goal of sustainable development. While wastewater collection and treatment are critical to the health of urban residents, storm sewers also play an important role in the city. Green space has given way to concrete during the island’s rapid development and extensive building projects over the past few decades. As a consequence, there has been a loss of the land’s natural water as concrete cannot absorb rainwater. When an extreme weather event like a severe storm or typhoon brings heavy rain, storm sewers must cope with the water, so it does not flood the city. However, storm sewers are only part of the measures for water management and flood prevention. To reduce flooding, an integrated urban drainage management plan has been adopted, where all the factors—storm sewers, land planning and economic development—are considered together. Engineering innovations, additional flood discharge facilities and increased green space requirements in new development projects have improved water maintaining in cities. Who knew that sewers help improve urban public health, prevent urban flooding and boost environmental protection?

But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians（兽医） now practicing “holistic” medicine—combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic （按摩疗法） and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” （1）What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. （2）Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. （3）What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. （4）Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. （1） 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第一句的I am not crazy以及第三句中的some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods可知，Farber的一些同事认为他很怪异（odd），故选A项。 （2） 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，20 年前有段时间Farber背部疼痛难忍，用药无效后尝试接受中医针灸治疗并取得了很好的治疗效果。他因此受到启发，经过多年研习后，将此疗法应用于动物，故选C项。 （3） 答案：D 解析：主旨大意题。第三段通过两个具体的治疗案例说明整体医学疗法对于动物治疗的有效性，故选D项。 （4） 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。从最后一段可知，兽医William Farber确信整体医学将会越来越受欢迎。自1982年以来，美国整体医疗兽医协会会员人数的增长印证了这一观点，故选A项。 B （2024 北京真题） Franz Boas’s description of Inuit（因纽特人） life in the 19th century illustrates the probable moral code of early humans. Here, norms（规范） were unwritten and rarely expressed clearly, but were well understood and taken to heart. Dishonest and violent behaviours were disapproved of; leadership, marriage and interactions with other groups were loosely governed by traditions. Conflict was often resolved in musical battles. Because arguing angrily leads to chaos, it was strongly discouraged. With life in the unforgiving Northern Canada being so demanding, the Inuit’s practical approach to morality made good sense. The similarity of moral virtues across cultures is striking, even though the relative ranking of the virtues may vary with a social group’s history and environment. Typically, cruelty and cheating are discouraged, while cooperation, humbleness and courage are praised. These universal norms far pre-date the concept of any moralising religion or written law. Instead, they are rooted in the similarity of basic human needs and our shared mechanisms for learning and problem solving. Our social instincts（本能） include the intense desire to belong. The approval of others is rewarding, while their disapproval is strongly disliked. These social emotions prepare our brains to shape our behaviour according to the norms and values of our family and our community. More generally, social instincts motivate us to learn how to behave in a socially complex world. The mechanism involves a repurposed reward system originally used to develop habits important for self-care. Our brains use the system to acquire behavioural patterns regarding safe routes home, efficient food gathering and dangers to avoid. Good habits save time, energy and sometimes your life. Good social habits do something similar in a social context. We learn to tell the truth, even when lying is self-serving; we help a grandparent even when it is inconvenient. We acquire what we call a sense of right and wrong. Social benefits are accompanied by social demands: we must get along, but not put up with too much. Hence self-discipline is advantageous. In humans, a greatly enlarged brain boosts selfcontrol, just as it boosts problem-solving skills in the social as well as the physical world. These abilities are strengthened by our capacity for language, which allows social practices to develop in extremely unobvious ways. （5）What can be inferred about the forming of the Inuit’s moral code? A. Living conditions were the drive. B. Unwritten rules were the target. C. Social tradition was the basis. D. Honesty was the key. （6）What can we learn from this passage? A. Inconveniences are the cause of telling lies. B. Basic human needs lead to universal norms. C. Language capacity is limited by self-control. D. Written laws have great influence on virtues. （7）Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Virtues: Bridges Across Cultures B. The Values of Self-discipline C. Brains: Walls Against Chaos D. The Roots of Morality （5）答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容尤其是“With life in the unforgiving Northern Canada being so demanding, the Inuit’s practical approach to morality made good sense.（在加拿大北部这个无情的环境中生活对人的要求很高，因纽特人的道德实践方法是很有道理的。）”可推知，因纽特人道德准则的形成以社会传统为基础，故选 C 项。 （6）答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“These universal norms far pre-date the concept of any moralising religion or written law. Instead, they are rooted in the similarity of basic human needs and our shared mechanisms for learning and problem solving.（这些普世性规范远远早于任何进行道德说教的宗教理念或成文法律的概念。相反，它们源于人类基本需求的相似性和我们共有的学习和问题解决的机制。）”可知，普世性规范的建立源于人类的基本需求，故选 B 项。 （7）答案：D 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章通过Franz Boas对19世纪因纽特人生活的介绍引入主题，探讨了早期人类道德准则的形成过程及人类建立道德准则的标准。因此，D项“The Roots of Morality（道德的起源）”符合文章主旨，是本文的最佳标题，故选D项。 课后提分练 16 阅读理解 A 组（巩固提升） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Passage 1 （2023 新高考Ⅱ真题） Yellowstone National Park offers a variety of ranger programs throughout the park, and throughout the year.

A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria （细菌） ? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge （污泥）. First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage （污水） from 1，600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor，” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.” 1. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone. C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor. 2. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks? A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem. C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine. 3. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou? A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea. C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention. 4. What is the basis for John’s work? A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive. C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups. 主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术 科学素养：思维品质 1. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据前两段可知，John Todd 小时候喜欢探索房子周围的树林，观察大自然是如何解决问题的。在大学学习了相关知识之后，John 开始思考是否可以利用自然现象解决人类制造的污染问题，由此可知，John 聪颖好学、好奇心很强，故选C 项。 2. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine”和第三、四段的内容可知，John 将污泥放入生态机器后，最终的结果是生态机器里的动植物把污泥当成了食物，开始吃起来。几周内，污泥就被消化了，只剩下纯净水。由此可知，John 主要是想测试他的生态机器，故选 D 项。 3. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.”可推知，作者提到中国福州是为了展示 John Todd 的“生态机器”想法 的应用，故选 B 项。 4. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后两句“‘You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening.

In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling（乱画）. In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo（禁忌） high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Unanxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 1. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged. 2. In her 30s, the author ________. A. avoided oil painting practice B. sought for a painting career C. fancied abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings 3. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. Confusing. B. Empowering. C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining. 4. What can we learn from this passage? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Hard work is the mother of success. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creative activities involve being confident. Passage 9 主题语境：人与社会——生活与学习 学科素养：思维品质 1. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的“I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.（我觉得很难，但仍希望能通过。我没及格，成绩很低。我过于自信了。现在我被断定没有天赋了。）”并结合下文中作者多年不碰油画的经历可推知，作者对美术考试的结果感到气馁，故选C项。 2. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art.(在我30多岁时，我结交了画家朋友们，学到了看待艺术的新方法。)”及“I took oil painting as the taboo（禁忌）high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.（我把油画当作一种禁忌的高雅形式，不允许自己去练习。）”可知，作者在30多岁时回避练习油画，故选A项。 3. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的“It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost.（它是一种能量形式，给予了我我曾失去的东西。）”可推知，作者的梦赋予作者练习油画的力量，故选B项。 4. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。文章开篇描绘了作者对绘画的热爱，却因艺术考试的失利而使信心蒙尘。随后，作者虽以不同的方式延续创造力——常观画展、与画家交友，却对油画练习避而远之。直到一个梦给了他重拾画笔的勇气。随着时间的推移，作者学会了拥抱自己的不足，继续前行。最终，这段经历让作者领悟到：保持坚定，正视自己。由此我们能从文章中学到：创作活动需要自信，故选D项。 Passage 10 （2023 全国Ⅱ真题） Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY （do-it-yourself）. Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with ￡5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with. But when Derek built our family house about eight years ago, I was heavily involved （参 与）, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was back-breaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.” Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy （租期） comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.” With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around ￡823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. A fifth wish to increase the value of their houses. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge. 1. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1? A. An artist. B. A winner. C. A specialist. D. A pioneer. 2. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her ￡5 a day? A. For a birthday gift. B. As a treat for her work. C. To support her DIY projects. D. To encourage her to take up a hobby. 3. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented? A. By making it look like before. B. By furnishing it herself. C. By splitting the rent with a roommate. D. By cancelling the rental agreement. 4. What trend in DIY does the research show? A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is getting more time-consuming. C. It is turning into a seasonal industry. D. It is gaining popularity among females. 主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事 科学素养：思维品质 1. 答案：C 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词组下一句“Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.”可知，Terri Bolton 擅长搭架子和拼装家具，能自己做的事绝不花钱，由此可推断出她是一个 DIY 能手。a dab hand 意为“能手；行家”，specialist（专家）最接近 a dab hand 的意思，故选 C 项。 2. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“A day’s work was rewarded with ￡5 in pocket money.”可知，祖父给Terri Bolton 的零花钱是对她一天工作的奖励，即对她工作的犒赏，故选 B 项。 3. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She adds: ‘I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.’”可知，Terri Bolton喜欢按照自己的喜好重新布置租住的房间，所以，为了避免搬走时的不必要的费用损失，知道如何填补破洞和粉刷房间的技能是很有用的。由此可推知，她是在退房前将屋子恢复到原样，以避免扣除押金，故选 A 项。 4. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.”可知，尽管 DIY 传统上被认为是男性的爱好，但研究表明，现在是女性在引领这一潮流，即在女性中越来越受欢迎，故选 D 项。 Passage 11 （2023 新高考Ⅱ真题） Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles. Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new. Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include handson experiments such as soil testing, flowerand-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools. Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says. She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.” 1. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo? A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family. C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts. 2. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program? A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes. C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens. 3. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program? A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable. C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape 主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习 科学素养：思维品质 1. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. （起初是这样的，Abby Jaramillo说，她和另一位老师在四所低收入学校启动了 Urban Sprouts 这一学校花园项目。）”可知，Abby Jaramillo是 Urban Sprouts 的发起者，故选 D 项。 2. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“‘They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.’ Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.”可知，项目之初，一些学生不喜欢园艺工作，故选 C 项。 3. 答案：A 解 析 ： 推 理 判 断 题 。根 据 最 后 一 段 中 的“ t h e program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening... Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students”可知，这个项目不仅给学生提供了有营养的食物，而且使许多学生对园艺有了兴趣，对有情绪控制问题的学生也起到了镇静作用，从而推知，该项目的影响是深远的，故选 A 项。 4. 答案：B 解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段的第二、三句“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.”以及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了 Abby Jaramillo 与几个老师在低收入学校发起的培养学生科学能力，提高环保意识以及养成健康生活方式的 Urban Sprouts 花园项目，让学生体验乡村田园生活，对学生影响深远。因此 B 项“体验乡村生活”最适合作为本文标题，故选 B 项。 Passage 12 （河北衡水中学高考押题卷） The Public Transport Fares in New York On our website, you can find out how much it costs to ride the subway, bus, Long Island Rail Road, and Metro-North in the New York area. ★ Subways and buses ·Fare for most riders on subways and local, limited, and Select Bus Service buses: $2.85. ·Express buses cost $6.85.

Delta and Dawn—a mother and a baby—had circled the Sacramento Bay area for two weeks before going back to the ocean. “We all shouted loudly like ‘Yay’!” said Jim Oswald, a spokesman for the Marine Mammal Center. “It’s been really exciting.” The humpback whales were last spotted on May 29 near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Scientists are sure that the whales swam into open water during the evening of May 29 or early the next morning, since there have been no further sightings of the whales. Even so, boats were sent out to look for them, just in case the whales made another wrong turn. Officials spent two weeks trying to get the whales to turn back towards the ocean. Biologists played recordings of whale-feeding as well as unfamiliar sounds to try to make the whales head back to the Pacific Ocean. However, Delta and Dawn gave scientists an unexpected chance to study humpback whales in the wild. Scientists were able to gather sound recordings and watch their behaviors. This is especially exciting because humpback whales are an endangered species. What’s more, scientists don’t usually have the chance to observe them in their natural habitat. “All those things are very hard to get,” said Oswald. “So what we are doing is filling up the knowledge blank on humpback whales in the wild.” Scientists should be able to use this information to help other lost whales in the future. 1. Jim Oswald was very happy because ____________. A. the whales traveled to Sacramento Bay B. he found the lost humpback whales C. the scientists held a great celebration D. the whales returned to the Pacific Ocean 2. In order to make the whales go back to the ocean, the biologists ____________. A. fed them with other animals B. swam into open$$
