[对应学生用书P474] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·八省联考)Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city—in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community.At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair，whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense (稠密) and exciting urban environments.She prefers disorder to order，walking to driving，and diversity to uniformity. For Jacobs，urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so­called experts and officials.The best judges of how a city should be—and how it should develop—are the local residents themselves.Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions，because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions. Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community，especially the sidewalks.The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks，which allow people to meet，talk，and get to know one another.Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better. Diversity and mixed­use of space are also，for Jacobs，key elements of this urban form.The commercial，business，and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side，to allow for greater integration of people.There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings，and people's interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused. Finally，urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live，work，and interact.Such high­density spaces are，she feels，engines of creativity and vitality.They are also safe places to be，because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”： shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了Jacobs一生致力于推进一种独特的城市愿景，尤其关注是什么造就了一个成功的城市社区。 1．What does Jacobs find most important for a successful urban community? A．Efficient public transport. B．Strong interaction between people. C．Uniform style of buildings. D．A comparatively large population. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据文章第一段“At the heart of her vision...and exciting urban environments.(她构想的核心在于，城市生活应当充满活力且丰富多彩，人们能够在密集且令人兴奋的城市环境中相互交流。)”可知，Jacobs认为对于一个成功的城市社区来说，人与人之间的强烈互动是最重要的。故选B。 2．Who does Jacobs think should make decisions on urban development? A．Local residents. B．Government officials. C．City planners. D．Construction workers. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For Jacobs (对于Jacobs来说)”以及“The best judges of how a city should be—and how it should develop—are the local residents themselves.(一个城市应该如何发展，最好的评判者是当地居民自己。)”可知，Jacobs认为对城市发展作出决定的应该是当地居民。故选A。 3．How does Jacobs suggest sidewalks be built? A．Lined with plants. B．Painted with clear signs. C．Tightly connected. D．Convenient for the old. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The streets in which...know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.(人们居住的街道应当是纵横交错的人行道构成的紧密格局，这样人们才能相遇、交谈并相互了解。这样一系列复杂但最终丰富的相遇，有助于人们更好地了解自己的邻居和社区。)”可知，Jacobs建议修建连接紧密的人行道。故选C。 4．According to Jacobs，the “eyes on the street” bring a sense of ． A．pride B．comfort C．security D．urgency 解析　C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“They are also safe places to be...a close watch over the neighbourhood.(它们也是安全的地方，因为人口密度高意味着有更多‘街头的眼睛’：店主和当地人熟悉自己的区域，并密切留意着社区的情况。)”可知，Jacobs认为，“街头的眼睛”给人们带来一种安全的感觉。故选C。 B (2024·石家庄质量检测)Change can be unsettling.Good or bad，exciting or unexpected，there's an undeniable anxiety that accompanies seeing our life shifts.Thankfully，nature reminds us that entering a new season in our lives is nothing to fear but something to enjoy. What's now known as “leaf­peeping” has become a highly profitable form of tourism in the United States.A research shows that across 24 states in the eastern half of the country，fall foliage (叶子) tourism contributes more than $30 billion to local economies.And even though climate change has made it more difficult to predict when exactly foliage will peak，it hasn't stopped people from trying to figure it out.Tourism leaders from the Great Smoky Mountains recently released their annual fall foliage prediction map which helps travelers plan out when they have the best chance to catch those beautiful autumn views. Perhaps part of what makes the foliage so special is the belief that it's temporary.Eventually，branches will become bare，and we'll stop taking photos for social media.And as the seasons change and we feel that familiar longing for what was，trees will once again embrace (欣然接受) their evolution. Even when they aren't decorated with flashy fall colors and their internal systems slow down，trees are still supporting the ecosystem.Their fallen leaves are broken down by bacteria and fungi and provide the soil with nutrients the tree needs to grow.Insects take shelter in their bark，eventually becoming food for other wildlife seeking a place to nest.Their strong roots stabilize the soil，preventing erosion(侵蚀) from winter snowmelt. Right now，trees around the country are already beginning to welcome their next chapter.During this time of the year，it feels like forests are just offering endless joy for free.And fall foliage is an everlasting reminder that the growth with changes is beautiful. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。本文借助“窥叶”旅行在美国的流行以及树木欣然接受季节变化来告诉人们：无畏变化，要懂得享受变化。 5．What does “leaf­peeping” refer to? A．A form of tourism where people go to see fall foliage. B．A measure taken by tourism leaders to protect trees. C．A research about the effects of climate change on trees. D．A method for predicting when fall foliage will peak. 解析　A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“‘leaf­peeping’ has become a highly profitable form of tourism”首先可以判断，“窥叶”是一种高利润的旅游形式；再根据本段中的“fall foliage(叶子)tourism”和“their annual fall foliage prediction map which helps travelers plan out when they have the best chance to catch those beautiful autumn views”可知，游客会利用年度落叶预测地图来规划他们什么时候有最好的机会去捕捉这些秋季美景。据此可以推断，“窥叶”指的正是人们去欣赏秋季落叶美景的一种旅游形式，故A项正确。 6．Why do people find fall foliage so special? A．It brings change to daily life. B．It contributes to local economies. C．It helps preserve ecosystems. D．It lasts only for a short time. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Perhaps part of what makes the foliage so special is the belief that it's temporary”可知，人们认为秋季树叶特别的原因在于其短暂性，即存在的时间短暂，故D项正确。 7．What can we learn about trees in fall from paragraph 4? A．They are easily damaged by bacteria. B．They stop rooting due to cold weather. C．They continue providing shelter for wildlife. D．They play a role in reducing snowfall. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Insects take shelter in their bark，eventually becoming food for other wildlife seeking a place to nest”可知，昆虫躲在树皮中，最终成为其他寻找巢穴的野生生物的食物。由此可以推断，秋天树木不断地为野生生物提供庇护。故选C。 8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Trees Supporting the Ecosystem B．Lesson from Trees: Embracing Change C．Fall Foliage Tourism in the US D．Climate Change in the Season of Fall 解析　B　标题归纳题。 作者在第一段表明主题“大自然提醒我们，进入生活的新季节并不可怕，而是值得享受的”；第二段讲到了“窥叶”旅行在美国的流行；第三段作者又讲到了秋天落叶旅行流行的原因，以及“树木再次欣然接受它们的进化”；第四段讲到了秋天树木的作用；最后一段作者再次讲到了“随着变化的成长是美丽的”，故B项适合作本文的标题。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·武汉调研)When I was in third grade，my family and I took on an unforgettable trip across the country.It turned out to be more than just a 1 journey; it was a journey of discovery into our 2 ． Every day，Dad 3 us with his trusty road map.Mom，the heart of our family，shared folk tales and painted pictures about the upcoming 4 ．We went through diverse 5 from the thick forests to the vast deserts of the West.
