[对应学生用书P496] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·潍坊一模)On a bright September day in the French Alps in 2022，John McAvoy was 38 kilometers into a very exhausting ultramarathon through rough mountain paths.Battling tiredness，he pushed his body and mind through the final leg of the race.With the finish arch in the famous town of Chamonix just four kilometers away and the cloud­topped peak of Mont Blanc high over him，McAvoy welled up with emotion. At that moment，he felt so free and alive.It was quite the opposite from where his life had been a decade before.He had just been released from prison after serving a 10­year sentence. Now 40 years old，McAvoy has spent the last 10 years rebuilding his life from one of crime to one with purpose.It was on this day，while running the ultramarathon，that he realized how significant conquering (征服) this mountain run could be for inner­city kids like him.After all，sports had helped him live a normal life again and open up his world.It could do the same for others. With the help of Youth Beyond Borders，McAvoy started the Alpine Run Project，which recently led 12 disadvantaged British young people through their own Mont Blanc races.The participants，from refugees (难民) to young reformed criminals and those who grew up in children's homes，were matched with coaches，consultants and physiotherapists.After a six­month training program，the youth traveled to the Alps to meet up with McAvoy for their race. McAvoy says the highlight of this project for him was watching Yasmin Mahamud，a 20­year­old refugee from Syria，run through the finish arch and into the arms of her new friends.It was a life­changing high for Mahamud，too—inspiring her to keep running，take up martial arts and go to university to study physiotherapy. “It changed my point of view on life，” says Mahamud.Pushing herself to complete the race gave her a brief experience of her own potential through hard work and devotion.“I will always be thankful to John for giving me this opportunity and guidance.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了服刑后重返社会的约翰·麦卡沃伊通过参加阿尔卑斯山超级马拉松比赛走出困境，重建自己的生活，然后创办阿尔卑斯山长跑项目帮助其他处境困难的年轻人的故事。 1．How did McAvoy feel before the finish arch?

A．Live for the moment. B．Dream big and climb high. C．After the storm comes the rainbow. D．Run after the light and become the light. 解析　D　推理判断题。通读全文可知，服刑后重返社会的约翰·麦卡沃伊通过参加阿尔卑斯山超级马拉松比赛走出困境，重建自己的生活，实现了人生的转变，因此他创办阿尔卑斯山长跑项目帮助和鼓励其他深陷困境的人。由此可知，麦卡沃伊不仅追求了自己的光，还成了别人的光。故D项(追逐光，成为光)符合主题。故选D。 B (2024·浙江1月卷)On September 7，1991，the costliest hailstorm(雹暴)in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs.As a result，since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.But farmers in east­central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture(水分)is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding. Norman Stienwand，who farms in that area，has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years.“Basically，the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary­Edmonton urban area from hail，”Mr Stienwand says，“but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.” The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss，a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc.of Fargo，North Dakota.“We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air，so we cannot be causing drought，”Dr.Krauss says.“In fact，we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.” One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell，a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma.“In 1999，I personally saw significant tornadoes(龙卷风)form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，”Dr.Doswell says.“Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind？No one really knows，of course，but the seeding goes on.” Given the degree of doubt，Mr Stienwand suggests，“it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.”In practice，doubt has had the opposite effect.Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts，no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud­seeding companies.Hence，private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了加拿大艾伯塔地区的防雹干预计划，以及不同相关方对该计划的不同态度。 5．What does the project aim to do? A．Conserve moisture in the soil. B．Prevent the formation of hailstones. C．Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D．Investigate chemical use in farming. 解析　B　细节理解题。题干中的“the project”指的就是第一段中所提到的“Alberta Hail Suppression Project”，因此根据第一段中的“Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.”可知，飞机通过向有威胁性的风暴体播撒一种化学物质，使得小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前先变成雨落下。由此可知，这一计划旨在防止冰雹的形成，A项“保存土壤水分”；C项“预报灾难性雹暴”；D项“调查农业中化学品的使用”。故选B。 6．Who are opposed to the project? A．Farmers in east­central Alberta. B．Managers of insurance companies. C．Provincial government officials. D．Residents of Calgary and Edmonton. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But farmers in east­central Alberta...worry that precious moisture(水分)is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.”可知，Alberta 中东部的农民担心人工降雨会带走他们干旱土地中的宝贵水分。由此可知，这些农民是反对这个计划的，故选A。 7．Why does Dr.Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999? A．To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B．To illustrate the development of big hailstorms. C．To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding. D．To show the link between storms and moisture. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell”可知，Doswell博士对人工降雨的安全性持怀疑态度。接着他提到1999年亲眼看见的一个已经被播撒了化学物质的风暴单体形成的重大龙卷风。随后他又提出疑问“Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind？”，怀疑人工降雨会产生致命的风暴或是减少下风处的水分。由此可推断出，Doswell博士提到他看到的1999 年的龙卷风是为了表明人工降雨存在可能的风险，A项“为了比较不同的播撒方式”；B项“为了说明大雹暴的形成”；C项“为了表明人工降雨可能存在的风险”；D项“为了说明风暴和水分之间的关系”。故选C。 8．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B．Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada. C．The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D．Cloud­seeding companies will continue to exist. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Hence，private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.”可知，私营的气候工程公司可以在相对合法的安全环境中继续进行下去，也就是这些公司会继续存在下去，A项“科学研究证明了 Stienwand 是对的”；B项“私营的气候工程公司在加拿大是非法的”；C项“关于人工降雨的疑虑已经消失了”；D项“人工降雨公司会继续存在下去”。故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五 (2024·南京、盐城调研) Pursue Your Dreams Today，Not Tomorrow Have you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams? We often postpone our dreams，trapped in a cycle of delay.But why wait? 1 You don't have to take a huge，life­changing step.You can take minute steps toward a brighter future.And start right now. 2 If you never try，you're going to be weighed down by your regrets.You're always going to wonder how your life would have turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself.Don't let your future self be disappointed by your present self. It doesn't matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you're never going to succeed.Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their fields. 3 Embrace a mindset of determination，knowing that success is within your reach. At the end of the day，you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction.If you allow your fear to get the best of you，you're never going to forgive yourself. 4 It's what you would encourage your friends to do，so why aren't you giving yourself that same push? Sometimes，following your passion means spending a lot of your time each day.It may require making slight adjustments to your schedule，but you don't have to sacrifice everything to follow your hearts.Try to strike a balance between your current life and your dreams. 5 Pursue your dreams now，even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone，and even though it means entering the unknown.

E．If things go well，you can gradually make further shifts. F．You need to move past your insecurity and explore your full potential. G．Hard as it is，it's crucial to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何追求自己的梦想提出了一些建议。 1．解析　B　空后提到“你没有必要迈出巨大的改变命运的一步”，所以空处应是表达可以从小事开始做出改变，故B项“从小事开始做出改变是完全可以接受的”符合语境。 2．解析　C　根据下文尤其是“if you actually took a chance on yourself”和“Don't let your future self be disappointed by your present self”可推知，本段主要是强调“自己”在实现梦想中的主体作用，故C项“你应该自己去追逐你的梦想”符合语境。 3．解析　G　空前提到你的年龄不重要，身边有多少人提醒你你将永远不会成功不重要，甚至最成功的人都会犹豫，空后提到要拥有坚定的思维模式，知道成功就在触手可及的范围内，所以空处应是鼓励读者摆脱疑虑，坚定信心，故G项“尽管很难，在你的脑海中摆脱疑惑是至关重要的”符合语境。 4．解析　F　空后句子表示“这是你会鼓励你朋友去做的事情”，句中的It应是指代空处句子描述的行为，并且该行为应是积极的，且空前表示不要让恐惧占了上风，故F项“你需要丢掉你的不安并且探索你的全部潜力”符合语境。 5．解析　E　空前主要讲有时候追随你的爱好意味着你每天都要花很多时间。它可能需要你根据你的计划做出微小的调整，但是你没有必要为了跟从内心而牺牲一切。努力在你目前的生活和你的梦想之间找到一种平衡。故E项“如果一切顺利，你可以慢慢地做出进一步的改变”符合语境。 Ⅲ.语法填空 Patrick Sommier，a French theater director，is devoted to passing on the true meaning of Chinese operas to the French public.
