Many people appreciate being able to observe different plant species. In some cases, these people are gardeners themselves. 7 These plant lovers will often try to find chances to visit gardens while traveling or even when they’re closer to home. In some communities, gardening is a popular hobby, with many homeowners spending time cultivating impressive gardens in their yards. One common type of garden tourism is the garden walk. A community group will publish a list of impressive gardens along with a map. 8 More time-needing types of garden tourism may include travel to other countries and areas. Some travel companies, particularly those that centre on green travel, offer choices of group garden tourism. They may use a bus to take groups of travelers to some famous faraway gardens. This choice has many advantages. 9 After all, as a group, it’s often true that the travelers can enjoy cheaper tickets to the gardens. 10 These include completing research on famous gardens before traveling and then starting garden visits in his journey.

Passage 3 (23-24高二下·河南濮阳·期中)“Leave no track” is popular among many campers who are concerned about our environment and favor sustainable(可持续的) travel. Its goal is simple; to minimize human-created impacts on the natural world. 11 Reject plastic and paper. First and foremost, one of the easiest ways to reduce the impact of camping on the planet is to go plastic and paper-free. Instead of single-use plastics and paper plates, choose bamboo or other recyclable camping dinnerware and food packages.   12 Rent or buy a used tent. Instead of brand-new equipment, consider renting camping equipment instead. Outdoor retail (零售) brands like REI offer a wide variety of camping products to rent, including tents. 13 For those keen on purchasing something new, try brands like Patagonia that put sustainability first to reduce waste and support eco-friendly practices. 14 In addition to eco-friendly tents, it’s good to ensure that other camping essentials, from hiking shoes and sleeping bags to clothing and blankets, are also gentle on the environment. And remember, whatever is packed in should also be packed out. Only camp in designated(指定的) camping areas. 15 However, developed campgrounds, which are specifically designated for camping, are usually available by reservation and don’t require campers to walk wearily into the wilderness to clear space to set up a tent. Designated camping spots usually have other advantages like bathrooms, showers, picnic tables, and more. A. Pack with the planet in mind. B. Sort out what you really need when camping. C. They even carry other outdoor essentials for rent. D. Learn how to sustainably upgrade the summer camping here. E. Campers can also buy reusable paper towels in order to genuinely leave no track. F. Eco-friendly campers can learn how to update their skills with these simple tips. G. Although backpacking off the beaten path sounds fascinating, it may not be eco-friendly. Passage 4 (23-24高二下·浙江杭州·期中)On hearing the word vacation, most people react positively. Experienced travelers will argue that more important than where they go on vacation is who they go with. 16 Family travel is special and creates lasting memories, but it can also have some challenges. For one, the success of a trip often depends on the relationships that the family members have with one another. If two brothers do not get along at home, the chances are that they will fight during a vacation. 17 If a family is traveling by air, purchasing plane tickets for everyone can be very expensive. 18 Close friends often have similar personalities, so they generally get along with each other and fight less than family members might on a trip. Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship. 19 All in all, traveling with friends can be a positive experience that results in a great vacation and, likely, a stronger friendship. Finally, people can choose to travel alone. Solo travelers can be more flexible with transportation than those traveling in a large group. 20 And they also have better chances of getting a seat on buses or planes since they only need one. In addition, solo travelers are more likely to meet locals or other vacationers because they are more likely to want to talk with others. A. They can change plans more easily. B. Each person tends to cover his or her individual expenses. C. Another potential problem of family travel is transportation. D. Sightseeing and scheduling are not a problem for solo travelers. E. In fact, friendships are often strengthened with the travel memories. F. Traveling with friends can be an unforgettable experience for several reasons. G. Vacations can be classified on the basis of who vacationers choose to travel with. Passage 5 (23-24高二下·重庆·期中)Beginning your journey abroad, you’ll witness excitement fill the air.

Travel planning doesn’t have to be stressful, though. Here are some simple steps for you. Start planning in advance. 26 International trips can take months to plan. Trips during high seasons, like summer vocations, need to be planned further out than trips during low seasons. 27 Before you do anything, you need to know how much money you will have for this travel. It is easy to overspend when you are travelling if you don’t plan ahead. So start your planning by working out how much you want to spend on transportation, food, sightseeing and hotels. Make reservations. Booking transportation and accommodations in advance is quite necessary. Things like flights, trains and even car rentals can be quite different depending on when and where you book them. It’s worth considering booking accommodations online.

When you travel solo, you have nobody to rely on but yourself, and that pushes you to learn how to function in the world. 31 If something goes wrong, it’s up to you to figure out how to get out of the situation. ● 32 You can wake up whenever you want and eat whatever you want. When you’re traveling solo, you can be selfish and change your mind every few days and not have to consult anybody else. ●One of the biggest benefits of solo travel is how easy it is to meet people on the road. All you need to do is wander into a hotel room and within minutes, someone will strike up a conversation with you. 33 A lot of travelers will assume that if you’re already in a team, you don’t want to be disturbed, and will turn to the solo traveler almost every time. ●Solo travel can be helpful for your mental state, too. Solo travel builds confidence as you travel through an unfamiliar city, chat with strangers and figure out how to get from one place to another. 34 ●Another item in the “pro” column for solo travel is that it can be a time for reflection and can help bring peace to your mind. 35 You can learn what truly makes you happy and what you need to work on to improve as a person. It can often be challenging to face these truths but learning to overcome them is all part of the process of growing. A. It’s sink-or-swim time! B. You’ll get to know yourself better than you ever have before. C. Solo travel is something everyone should try at some point in their lives. D. Your social skills will be improved by meeting people and talking more. E. Another benefit to solo travel is not having to compromise on your travels. F. When traveling solo, you’re much more approachable than when you’re in a group. G. Not having someone to share all those amazing experiences with can lead to depression. Passage 8 (23-24高二下·浙江台州·期中)The daily challenges of social and work life pose a great threat to people’s mental health. While there is no known cure for mental illness, activities like road trips can effectively manage mental health issues.

It depends on your route and stops because you have to be sure that the schedules match your connecting train. If you are riding on The Canadian which runs between Toronto and Vancouver, the trip will be four straight days if you don’t get off. If you choose the entire transcontinental train trip, you will pass through five time zones: Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific, from Halifax all the way to Vancouver. 2 . The adjustment is in fact comfortable because the rhythm of the train and the consistent sleep patterns help you maintain your internal clock. The winter season brings fewer crowds and more affordable rates, making it an ideal time for a train journey. You may be thinking that Canada in winter is a frozen land, but you are overreacting. Temperatures are not as harsh as you might think, ranging from 30-35°F in the mountains to 38-55°F elsewhere. 3 . One of the most rewarding aspects of train travel is the opportunity to meet a variety of people.

Passage 3 (24-25高二上·江苏无锡·期末)When it comes to travelling abroad, many people choose a group tour to get the most out of their holiday. 11 Thankfully, travel expert Dilvin Yasa has shared tips for that. Budget accordingly. When planning your group tour, budgeting is an important factor, as these trips are rarely all-inclusive(包含一切的). 12 Extra costs on a group tour could include meals, attractions and additional activities, so please factor potential costs in. 13 Yasa advised against skipping between different destinations, as strict time limits could prevent you from participating in back to back tours. “If the distances or time between destinations are not listed, turn to Google Maps to know how long you’re expected to be on the road.” Don’t arrive at the last minute. If you’re in a group tour, don’t leave home until the day when the tour sets off. “The worst is missing a connecting flight or experiencing delays. 14 ” Yasa said. “Remember to arrive the day before at the very latest and give yourself a little extra free time at the tail end.” Keep some cash on hand. While most of your tour should already be paid for before you start, you should always prepare some cash. Especially when travelling to more remote locations, or visiting smaller food stands or markets, you shouldn’t assume everywhere will take card payments. Yasa said, “ 15 ” A. Know your geography. B. Try to attend every trip. C. It’s a good choice to exchange goods. D. It’s better to have some cash on you at all times. E. You may miss the first or two of the tour you’ve paid for. F. Add up all the extra costs until you arrive at your real figure. G. However, there are always things to handle before booking your trip. Passage 4 (23-24高二下·山东临沂·期末)Does alien life exist? It’s a question many people have tried to answer. 16 AI is a type of program that allows a computer to learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. AI works by taking in lots of data, then making predictions based on it. The research team used their AI method to analyze different materials and determine whether they were biotic(生物性的) or abiotic. 17 To train the AI program, the researchers gave it data on 134 biotic and abiotic materials. The program then used that knowledge to predict whether things like human hair, bones, teeth, eaves, coal, and chemicals were alive or not.   18 19 “We may be able to find a life-form from another planet.” said Robert Hazen of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC. “If we do find signs of life elsewhere, we can tell if life on Earth and other planets derived from a common or different origin.” For now, though, the team is focused on ancient rock samples from Earth to learn more about life on our own planet and where it originated. For example, the tool could be used to settle a disagreement among scientists about 3. 5-billion-year-old rocks from Western Australia. 20 However, others think the rocks just have unusual patterns. The AI could also be used to examine samples from Mars collected by the Perseverance over. NASA put this wheeled robot on the red planet to search for evidence that Mars has the right conditions to support life. Perseverance is gathering rock samples that will be brought to Earth in 2033. A. People’s answers are various. B. Some experts believe AI can’t tell their origin. C. The researchers said the AI was 90% accurate. D. The scientists also think the AI tool could detect alien life-forms. E. Some experts believe the rocks contain Earth’s oldest fossil samples. F. Now scientists have identified a new method for finding alien life using AI. G. The AI also could tell whether a biotic sample was currently living or a fossil. Passage 5 Astronauts on the International Space Station often spend 6 to 12 months in space. It is hard to stay inside the space station all that time, but they still need to do their everyday living, such as working, eating, and exercising with limited resources. Imagine you are an astronaut on the space station right now. 21 Keep learning Astronauts are constantly learning. They do all the science experiments that need to happen on the space station. Most of the time, these experiments were designed by scientists. 22 Astronauts also need to learn how to operate parts of the space station, such as the robotic arm. Do exercise 23 One way they do this is by running on a designed treadmill(跑步机), which could hold them down so they won’t float away. You can keep your muscles strong, too. Do some push ups, sit ups or jo g so that you’ll be strong enough when you can go exploring. Observe Earth Astronauts love to take pictures and videos of Earth from the window of the space station. 24 You can take pictures from your window, too. Think about what makes your street and city special and take notes of the patterns you see. Stay in touch Astronauts keep in touch with their families by email and video-conference. You can keep in touch with your family and friends in the same way. Make a list of the friends and relatives you want to stay in touch with and contact with a few every day. 25 A. What do you know about astronauts? B. What activities would you do in space? C. They will be glad to know you are thinking about them. D. Astronauts need to keep their muscles strong to stay healthy. E. Astronauts are learning how to grow food on the space station. F. So they need to learn about the science by following the right steps provided. G. Seeing Earth in a new way gets them thinking about what makes our planet unique. Passage 6 Astronaut Frank Rubiales has returned to Earth after 371 days in space. It was only supposed to be 180, but a technical fault stopped him from returning as planned. 26 . Being in space can affect both physical and mental health. 27 . Astronauts are recommended 150 minutes of exercise per day to resist this. Also, space traveller’s eyes can be affected by the way that fluids act in zero-gravity. Outside the protection of the Earth’s atmosphere, astronauts are exposed to much higher levels and different forms of solar radiation. This can potentially cause long-term health problems, such as cancer. 28 . Our mental health can be damaged if we don’t get enough sleep. On earth, our bodies respond through circadian rhythms to the Sun rising and setting to help us sleep, but astronauts on board the International Space Station see 16 sunsets and sunrises every day. 29 . Isolation, and spending all your time with a small group of people can also affect mental health. Along with isolation, is the pressure that comes from being constantly monitored by experts back on Earth. With possible future missions to Mars predicted to last three years, tensions within the crew could become heightened. There was a case of this where a colleague threatened to open the airlock and drain the oxygen from the spacecraft. Developing new techniques and technology to support astronauts’health will enable more ambitious future missions. 30 . The Canadian Space Agency is using its expertise to improve health care for people living in remote regions. The technology that supports robots used in space is now being used in surgery in normal hospitals, while pressure suits are being used to treat post-pregnancy complications. A. Unlucky for him, but very lucky for scientists who want to see what effects spending an extended time in space has on the human body. B. Due to this technical fault,Frank Rubiales has to overcome more difficulties. C. It’s not just physical health that is affected by being in space. D. Enough sleep is exceptionally important. E. It can also help those of us who are staying on Earth F. Weightlessness caused by a lack of gravity can lead to a loss of bone and muscle mass. G. This means that avoiding sleep deprivation is a challenge. Passage 7 (24-25高二下·广东深圳·开学考试)The history of fireworks began around the first century BC, when the Chinese invented gunpowder(火药). 31 They used crackers(爆竹) to scare off bad spirits and express good wishes. Early Chinese fireworks were generally firecrackers, designed to make a loud sound. Marco Polo is generally believed to bring gunpowder to Europe. As a result, some Europeans attempted to copy the ways of making gunpowder in order to make their own fireworks. 32 It developed aerial shells (礼花弹) which could be forced up high before exploding. This invention further pushed fireworks’ development, making fireworks displays more attractive. With the development of aerial shells, the history of fireworks took off. Producers began trying to make greater and more complex fireworks which would explode into colorful designs. 33 Besides, they featured special colors, designs, and shapes which were meant to attract viewers, a far cry from the crackers of the 10th century. 34 In the 20th century, fireworks producers began to be concerned about them. They began to notice that many of the chemicals which create the beautiful colors associated with fireworks displays are quite harmful, and that fireworks also produce a lot of bad smoke. As a result, some fireworks producers began trying to produce the fireworks which would cause less smoke. While the history of fireworks has come quite a way from spirit-frightening crackers, fireworks displays continue to amaze people all over the world, and the bright colors of fireworks are closely associated with major celebrations in the eyes of many people. Fireworks displays are typically well-attended as a result. And companies which specialize in fireworks can charge high prices for their services, especially on major holidays. 35 A. Fireworks also have negative side effects. B. Fireworks displays began lasting much longer. C. There were other three great inventions in ancient China. D. Italy made a special contribution to the history of fireworks. E. In spite of this, there are still many customers for the fireworks. F. Thus in Italy and Germany, several producers of fireworks appeared. G. By the 10th century AD, the Chinese had produced fireworks for New Year. Passage 8 China’s Earliest Capital ANYANG, the northernmost city in Henan Province, once served as capital of the Shang Dynasty. It is the earliest capital of China in written record. 36 In the early 20th century, the Shang Dynasty ruins were unearthed in Xiaotun Village, Yindu District of the city. Archaeologists discovered bones and tortoise shells carved with the earliest form of Chinese script. They also found the Houmuwu Ding — a rectangular bronze container and at the time, the biggest bronze object ever found. 37 In the third century, a large number of literati and poets created many masterpieces here, forming the Jian’an Style of literature. 38 In the 1960s, under very difficult conditions, people in the Linxian County of Anyang (today’s Linzhou City) built the Red Flag Canal (Hongqi Qu) to channel water from Zhuozhang River to towns and villages of Linzhou City. It supplies water to 670,000 people, watering over 33,500 hectares of land. 39 Thanks to the sufficient water supply and rich soil, Linzhou has tree farms, fishponds, and fruit gardens. Standing on top of a hill in the outskirt of Linzhou City, one can see green mountains and crop fields. Today, the grand project has inspired generations of Chinese with a pioneering and hard-working spirit. When the weather is pleasant, many people like to walk along the Red Flag Canal from its head in Pingshun County of Shanxi Province. 40 Along the major channel of over 70-kilometers, people can feel the great devotion of the builders when they pass by every cliff and tunnel. A. The Shang Dynasty’s capital was found in Anyang. B. Today, the Red Flag Canal has become a scenic spot. C. It greatly influenced Chinese literature for centuries after. D. The discovery showed China’s splendid ancient bronze culture. E. Forty years on, Linzhou’s groundwater and soil have changed a lot. F. It’s a direct way to experience the project and its tough building process. G. With a long history, Anyang is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. Passage 9 To an outsider，any culture can seem confusing.And the UK's got a thing or two that raises a few eyebrows.However，understand the why and things might be less puzzling. 41 . In a world where 61％of nations drive on the right，Brits drive on the left.Why? Most people think it goes back to Medieval，maybe even Roman times. 42 when you remember that right-handed people wear a sword on their left hip.Travelling on the left allowed you to  keep your weapon arm toward your opponent，who would be on your right.This practice continued until the 18th century when a law was passed requiring all traffic crossing London Bridge to keep to the left. Visitors to the UK that have just washed their hands in an old-fashioned sink might be wondering why one tap is only for hot water，the other cold. 43 .So，why this oddity? It relates to a time when hot and cold water were kept separate to prevent pollution.Drinkable cold water came from a mains supply，but hot water came from attic tanks and was not considered suitable for consumption.So they were kept apart. Millions of people drink tea worldwide，but the odd Brits put milk in theirs.Why? This mysterious practice relates to the quality of china cup used in the 18th century when tea was first imposed.For the majority of Brits，the cups available couldn’t stand the heat of the boiling water and would break，so milk was added first. 44 .And this practical tweak soon became a national habit. 45 .As you can see，these odd Brits have perfectly clear reasons for left-hand driving，two-tap sinks and tea with milk.Even if they still seem strange，at least now you’re in the know. A. This makes it difficult to improve B. There is a method to the madness C. This unusual behavior makes sense D. You can know the origins of the practices E. Either can make washing very uncomfortable F. This cooled the cup enough to resist the boiling water G. Here are the reasons for three of Britain’s more puzzling practices Passage 10 Venice is suffering the worst flooding the city has experienced in 50 years. The city is “on its knees” and Venetian Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted as water submerged(淹没) much of the famous historical city. While floods are a normal part of life in Venice, they have never happened with such frequency before. Experts say that climate change is likely to blame. 46 The Venetian council voted against a measure to fight climate change just a few moments before their chamber(会议厅) flooded. Flooding is just one of the many impacts from climate change that is being experienced with more frequency and globally threatens many vulnerable(脆弱的) areas and regions. There is a threat that is not often considered. 47 Natural and man-made heritage sites throughout the world are in danger of being damaged or destroyed by climate change. 48 Some will be hit by flooding, like Venice, others by extreme weather events or rising temperatures. For instance, George Town, the capital of the Malaysian state Penang faces rising sea levels, landslides and more severe typhoons, while Yellowstone ecosystem in the western United States faces melting snows, more frequent wildfires and a changing ecosystem. Changes in the ocean will have a profound impact on many of these sites. 49 And rising sea levels threaten to wash away many of the world’s great archaeological sites. Experts say that the solutions to saving these sites will be varied, but many will be very expensive. 50 A. Different ways can be used to save these sites. B. Climate change will impact these sites in different ways. C. It is the damage from climate change to the world’s heritage. D. But putting in place protective measures has proven difficult. E. Warming water threatens to kill much of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef. F. Many heritage sites on land are facing the great threat posed by global warming. G. Therefore, they suggest that countries should work together to protect heritage sites. Passage 11 Living heritages are cultural elements that are considered to be an important part of the cultural heritage of our nation and that are still present and transmitted today. 51 It is an artistic practice of writing Chinese characters, often with a brush and ink on Xuan paper. The evolution of Chinese calligraphy began alongside the earliest Chinese characters discovered to date — inscriptions on oracle bones(甲骨文), from the Shang Dynasty (c. 16th century — 11th century BC) in Anyang, Henan province. Over time, calligraphy gradually took shape as a form of art rather than a mere means of record. Five major styles of script were born. They were running, cursive, official, seal and regular. 52 The type of brush, density of ink and texture of paper can all change the output. From brush inclination and direction to speed of writing, every twist and turn of the wrist is also calculated. Structure of individual characters and special layout as a whole determine its quality. Moreover, the emotions of the writer are directly reflected on calligraphy. Calligraphy is a fine art. Lan Ting Xu is one of the most celebrated masterpieces. 53 Its elegance and expressive brushwork gave it both historical and cultural significance in Chinese literature. Calligraphy is also within reach. Like the Spring Festival couplets that decorate doors of everyday folks, calligraphy has always been the sign of appreciation for the Chinese. Where there is Chinese language, there is calligraphy. 54 Chinese calligraphy is still highly valued today for its more than just writing. 55 It was written on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in2009. We strongly believe Chinese calligraphy will be passed from generation to generation. A. It is a living heritage. B. Calligraphy is a demanding art. C. Calligraphy can be learned easily. D. Chinese calligraphy is one of them. E. It is one of the most famous and favorite art works. F. And where there is Chinese calligraphy, there is beauty. G. It was created by Wang Xizhi during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Passage 12 The world is a vast and beautiful place, full of natural wonders and man-made marvels. From the ancient ruins of Rome to the Great Wall of China, there are countless places that make us proud of our ancestors. 56 They are also essential for future generations. Heritage is our legacy. It is what we pass down to our children and grandchildren. Heritage helps us to understand the past. It can teach us about our ancestors and their culture. Heritage can inspire us. 57 Heritage can unite us. It can bring people together from different backgrounds and cultures. 58 The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system, and it is at risk from natural forces, including climate change and pollution. The Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest tropical rainforest, regulating the Earth’s climate. It is at risk from human activities, like deforestation, mining, and agriculture. We can all do our part to help preserve these sites. Learn more about the sites that are on the List of World Heritage in Danger. 59 Support organizations that are working to protect these sites. You can donate money, volunteer your time, or spread the word about their work. Together, we can make a difference. 60 A. It can give us hope for the future. B. Choose sustainable lifestyles every day. C. Future generations can be more responsible. D. Unfortunately, many of them are under threat. E. Let’s work together to preserve these incredible sites. F. The more you know, the better you do in the preservation. G. But these places are not just important for our own enjoyment. 14 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题03 阅读理解七选五20篇 Passage 1 (23-24高二下·河北邢台·期中) Are you longing for a travel experience full of iconic attractions, which is not only immersive but also intimate?

Its goal is simple; to minimize human-created impacts on the natural world. 11 Reject plastic and paper. First and foremost, one of the easiest ways to reduce the impact of camping on the planet is to go plastic and paper-free. Instead of single-use plastics and paper plates, choose bamboo or other recyclable camping dinnerware and food packages.   12 Rent or buy a used tent. Instead of brand-new equipment, consider renting camping equipment instead. Outdoor retail (零售) brands like REI offer a wide variety of camping products to rent, including tents. 13 For those keen on purchasing something new, try brands like Patagonia that put sustainability first to reduce waste and support eco-friendly practices. 14 In addition to eco-friendly tents, it’s good to ensure that other camping essentials, from hiking shoes and sleeping bags to clothing and blankets, are also gentle on the environment. And remember, whatever is packed in should also be packed out. Only camp in designated(指定的) camping areas. 15 However, developed campgrounds, which are specifically designated for camping, are usually available by reservation and don’t require campers to walk wearily into the wilderness to clear space to set up a tent. Designated camping spots usually have other advantages like bathrooms, showers, picnic tables, and more. A. Pack with the planet in mind. B. Sort out what you really need when camping. C.

Experienced travelers will argue that more important than where they go on vacation is who they go with. 16 Family travel is special and creates lasting memories, but it can also have some challenges. For one, the success of a trip often depends on the relationships that the family members have with one another. If two brothers do not get along at home, the chances are that they will fight during a vacation. 17 If a family is traveling by air, purchasing plane tickets for everyone can be very expensive. 18 Close friends often have similar personalities, so they generally get along with each other and fight less than family members might on a trip. Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship. 19 All in all, traveling with friends can be a positive experience that results in a great vacation and, likely, a stronger friendship. Finally, people can choose to travel alone. Solo travelers can be more flexible with transportation than those traveling in a large group. 20 And they also have better chances of getting a seat on buses or planes since they only need one. In addition, solo travelers are more likely to meet locals or other vacationers because they are more likely to want to talk with others. A. They can change plans more easily. B. Each person tends to cover his or her individual expenses. C. Another potential problem of family travel is transportation. D. Sightseeing and scheduling are not a problem for solo travelers. E.

A 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是旅行时选择与谁同行的重要性，并比较了与家人、朋友以及独自旅行的不同体验。 16. 空前“Experienced travelers will argue that more important than where they go on vacation is who they go with.(有经验的旅行者会说，和谁一起去度假比去哪里更重要。)”说明有经验的旅行者认为和谁一起去度假比去哪里更重要，空格处内容应该与“和谁一起去度假”有关，G选项“Vacations can be classified on the basis of who vacationers choose to travel with.(假期可以根据度假者选择和谁一起旅行来分类。)”说明了假期可以根据度假者选择和谁一起旅行来分类，是跟“和谁一起去度假”有关的内容，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 17. 空前“For one, the success of a trip often depends on the relationships that the family members have with one another.(首先，旅行的成功往往取决于家庭成员彼此之间的关系。)”说明了旅行成功首先是取决于家庭成员彼此之间的关系，空格处应该说另一个问题，空后“If a family is traveling by air, purchasing plane tickets for everyone can be very expensive.(如果一个家庭乘飞机旅行，为每个人购买机票可能会非常昂贵。)”说明的是交通方面的问题，因此空格处应该引出交通这个问题，C选项“Another potential problem of family travel is transportation.(家庭旅行的另一个潜在问题是交通。)”说明了家庭的另一个潜在问题是交通，既和前面的“For one”相承接，也引出了下文的交通问题，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选C。 18. 空后“Close friends often have similar personalities, so they generally get along with each other and fight less than family members might on a trip. Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship.(亲密的朋友往往有相似的性格，所以他们通常会相处得很好，比家庭成员在旅行中打架要少。此外，如果朋友是亲密的，即使一次可怕的旅行也不会破坏友谊。)”说明了和朋友一起出去旅游是很好的，空格处应该引出“和朋友出去旅游”这个话题，F选项“Traveling with friends can be an unforgettable experience for several reasons.(和朋友一起旅行可能是一次难忘的经历，原因有几个。)”引出了和朋友出去旅游这个话题，说明了和朋友出去旅游是难忘的，因此引出下文，符合语境，故选F。 19. 空前“Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship.(此外，如果朋友是亲密的，即使一次可怕的旅行也不会破坏友谊。)”说明了如果和亲密的朋友出去旅游，即使是可怕的旅游也不会破坏友谊，空格处应该继续这个话题，说可怕的旅游不会破坏友谊，却会给友谊带来好处，E选项“In fact, friendships are often strengthened with the travel memories.(事实上，友谊往往会随着旅行的回忆而加强。)”说明了友谊会随着旅行的回忆加强，说明了旅游给友谊带来的好处，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 20. 空前“Solo travelers can be more flexible with transportation than those traveling in a large group.(独自旅行的人在选择交通工具方面比跟团旅行的人更灵活。)”说明了独自旅行在选择交通工具方面比跟团旅行的人更灵活，空格处应该说明灵活体现在什么方面，A选项“They can change plans more easily.(他们可以更容易地改变计划。)”说明了他们可以更容易地改变计划，体现了灵活性，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。 Passage 5 (23-24高二下·重庆·期中)Beginning your journey abroad, you’ll witness excitement fill the air.

Travel planning doesn’t have to be stressful, though. Here are some simple steps for you. Start planning in advance. 26 International trips can take months to plan. Trips during high seasons, like summer vocations, need to be planned further out than trips during low seasons. 27 Before you do anything, you need to know how much money you will have for this travel. It is easy to overspend when you are travelling if you don’t plan ahead. So start your planning by working out how much you want to spend on transportation, food, sightseeing and hotels. Make reservations. Booking transportation and accommodations in advance is quite necessary. Things like flights, trains and even car rentals can be quite different depending on when and where you book them. It’s worth considering booking accommodations online. There are many reliable websites for booking hotels. 28 Make a tour routine. Make your routine simple and clear. You don’t need to plan out every minute of every day. 29 Researching and planning these before you leave allows you to see and do more of you want. Pack your essentials. 30 For example, your ID card and mobile phone charges. Check the night before you depart. Check the weather and pack proper clothing for your trip. A. Get ready to go. B. Set a travel budget. C. See your doctor for health concerns before your trip. D. The longer you wait, the more expensive these will get. E.

When you travel solo, you have nobody to rely on but yourself, and that pushes you to learn how to function in the world. 31 If something goes wrong, it’s up to you to figure out how to get out of the situation. ● 32 You can wake up whenever you want and eat whatever you want. When you’re traveling solo, you can be selfish and change your mind every few days and not have to consult anybody else. ●One of the biggest benefits of solo travel is how easy it is to meet people on the road.

Solo travel builds confidence as you travel through an unfamiliar city, chat with strangers and figure out how to get from one place to another. 34 ●Another item in the “pro” column for solo travel is that it can be a time for reflection and can help bring peace to your mind. 35 You can learn what truly makes you happy and what you need to work on to improve as a person. It can often be challenging to face these truths but learning to overcome them is all part of the process of growing. A. It’s sink-or-swim time! B. You’ll get to know yourself better than you ever have before. C. Solo travel is something everyone should try at some point in their lives. D.

It’s a question many people have tried to answer. 16 AI is a type of program that allows a computer to learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. AI works by taking in lots of data, then making predictions based on it. The research team used their AI method to analyze different materials and determine whether they were biotic(生物性的) or abiotic. 17 To train the AI program, the researchers gave it data on 134 biotic and abiotic materials. The program then used that knowledge to predict whether things like human hair, bones, teeth, eaves, coal, and chemicals were alive or not.   18 19 “We may be able to find a life-form from another planet.” said Robert Hazen of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC. “If we do find signs of life elsewhere, we can tell if life on Earth and other planets derived from a common or different origin.” For now, though, the team is focused on ancient rock samples from Earth to learn more about life on our own planet and where it originated. For example, the tool could be used to settle a disagreement among scientists about 3. 5-billion-year-old rocks from Western Australia. 20 However, others think the rocks just have unusual patterns. The AI could also be used to examine samples from Mars collected by the Perseverance over. NASA put this wheeled robot on the red planet to search for evidence that Mars has the right conditions to support life. Perseverance is gathering rock samples that will be brought to Earth in 2033. A. People’s answers are various. B. Some experts believe AI can’t tell their origin. C. The researchers said the AI was 90% accurate. D. The scientists also think the AI tool could detect alien life-forms. E. Some experts believe the rocks contain Earth’s oldest fossil samples. F. Now scientists have identified a new method for finding alien life using AI. G. The AI also could tell whether a biotic sample was currently living or a fossil. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. D 20.

It was only supposed to be 180, but a technical fault stopped him from returning as planned. 26 . Being in space can affect both physical and mental health. 27 . Astronauts are recommended 150 minutes of exercise per day to resist this. Also, space traveller’s eyes can be affected by the way that fluids act in zero-gravity. Outside the protection of the Earth’s atmosphere, astronauts are exposed to much higher levels and different forms of solar radiation. This can potentially cause long-term health problems, such as cancer. 28 . Our mental health can be damaged if we don’t get enough sleep. On earth, our bodies respond through circadian rhythms to the Sun rising and setting to help us sleep, but astronauts on board the International Space Station see 16 sunsets and sunrises every day. 29 . Isolation, and spending all your time with a small group of people can also affect mental health. Along with isolation, is the pressure that comes from being constantly monitored by experts back on Earth. With possible future missions to Mars predicted to last three years, tensions within the crew could become heightened. There was a case of this where a colleague threatened to open the airlock and drain the oxygen from the spacecraft. Developing new techniques and technology to support astronauts’health will enable more ambitious future missions. 30 . The Canadian Space Agency is using its expertise to improve health care for people living in remote regions. The technology that supports robots used in space is now being used in surgery in normal hospitals, while pressure suits are being used to treat post-pregnancy complications. A. Unlucky for him, but very lucky for scientists who want to see what effects spending an extended time in space has on the human body. B. Due to this technical fault,Frank Rubiales has to overcome more difficulties. C. It’s not just physical health that is affected by being in space. D. Enough sleep is exceptionally important. E. It can also help those of us who are staying on Earth F. Weightlessness caused by a lack of gravity can lead to a loss of bone and muscle mass. G. This means that avoiding sleep deprivation is a challenge. 【答案】26. A 27. F 28. C 29. G 30.

Early Chinese fireworks were generally firecrackers, designed to make a loud sound. Marco Polo is generally believed to bring gunpowder to Europe. As a result, some Europeans attempted to copy the ways of making gunpowder in order to make their own fireworks. 32 It developed aerial shells (礼花弹) which could be forced up high before exploding. This invention further pushed fireworks’ development, making fireworks displays more attractive. With the development of aerial shells, the history of fireworks took off. Producers began trying to make greater and more complex fireworks which would explode into colorful designs. 33 Besides, they featured special colors, designs, and shapes which were meant to attract viewers, a far cry from the crackers of the 10th century. 34 In the 20th century, fireworks producers began to be concerned about them. They began to notice that many of the chemicals which create the beautiful colors associated with fireworks displays are quite harmful, and that fireworks also produce a lot of bad smoke. As a result, some fireworks producers began trying to produce the fireworks which would cause less smoke. While the history of fireworks has come quite a way from spirit-frightening crackers, fireworks displays continue to amaze people all over the world, and the bright colors of fireworks are closely associated with major celebrations in the eyes of many people. Fireworks displays are typically well-attended as a result. And companies which specialize in fireworks can charge high prices for their services, especially on major holidays. 35 A. Fireworks also have negative side effects. B. Fireworks displays began lasting much longer. C. There were other three great inventions in ancient China. D. Italy made a special contribution to the history of fireworks. E. In spite of this, there are still many customers for the fireworks. F. Thus in Italy and Germany, several producers of fireworks appeared. G. By the 10th century AD, the Chinese had produced fireworks for New Year. 【答案】31. G 32. D 33. B 34. A 35.

It is the earliest capital of China in written record. 36 In the early 20th century, the Shang Dynasty ruins were unearthed in Xiaotun Village, Yindu District of the city. Archaeologists discovered bones and tortoise shells carved with the earliest form of Chinese script. They also found the Houmuwu Ding — a rectangular bronze container and at the time, the biggest bronze object ever found. 37 In the third century, a large number of literati and poets created many masterpieces here, forming the Jian’an Style of literature. 38 In the 1960s, under very difficult conditions, people in the Linxian County of Anyang (today’s Linzhou City) built the Red Flag Canal (Hongqi Qu) to channel water from Zhuozhang River to towns and villages of Linzhou City. It supplies water to 670,000 people, watering over 33,500 hectares of land. 39 Thanks to the sufficient water supply and rich soil, Linzhou has tree farms, fishponds, and fruit gardens. Standing on top of a hill in the outskirt of Linzhou City, one can see green mountains and crop fields. Today, the grand project has inspired generations of Chinese with a pioneering and hard-working spirit. When the weather is pleasant, many people like to walk along the Red Flag Canal from its head in Pingshun County of Shanxi Province. 40 Along the major channel of over 70-kilometers, people can feel the great devotion of the builders when they pass by every cliff and tunnel.

In a world where 61％of nations drive on the right，Brits drive on the left.Why? Most people think it goes back to Medieval，maybe even Roman times. 42 when you remember that right-handed people wear a sword on their left hip.Travelling on the left allowed you to  keep your weapon arm toward your opponent，who would be on your right.This practice continued until the 18th century when a law was passed requiring all traffic crossing London Bridge to keep to the left. Visitors to the UK that have just washed their hands in an old-fashioned sink might be wondering why one tap is only for hot water，the other cold. 43 .So，why this oddity? It relates to a time when hot and cold water were kept separate to prevent pollution.Drinkable cold water came from a mains supply，but hot water came from attic tanks and was not considered suitable for consumption.So they were kept apart. Millions of people drink tea worldwide，but the odd Brits put milk in theirs.Why? This mysterious practice relates to the quality of china cup used in the 18th century when tea was first imposed.For the majority of Brits，the cups available couldn’t stand the heat of the boiling water and would break，so milk was added first. 44 .And this practical tweak soon became a national habit. 45 .As you can see，these odd Brits have perfectly clear reasons for left-hand driving，two-tap sinks and tea with milk.Even if they still seem strange，at least now you’re in the know. A. This makes it difficult to improve B. There is a method to the madness C. This unusual behavior makes sense D. You can know the origins of the practices E. Either can make washing very uncomfortable F. This cooled the cup enough to resist the boiling water G. Here are the reasons for three of Britain’s more puzzling practices 【答案】41. G 42. C 43. E 44. F 45. B 【语篇解读】本文属于说明文，介绍英国靠左驾驶、水槽边有冷热两个水龙头以及喝茶加牛奶的习俗及其来源。 41. 分析文章可知，第二段至第四段分别介绍英国靠左驾驶、水槽边有冷热两个水龙头以及喝茶加牛奶的习俗及其来源， G选项，以下就是三个比较特殊的英国习惯的来源，开启下面的三段，切题，故选G。 42. 根据本空后一句when you remember that right-handed people wear a sword on their left hip.可知，如果你还记得在中世纪或者罗马时代，习惯用右手的人会把剑佩戴在臀部左侧，故C选项，这个不寻常的行为就讲得通了，后一句讲原因，前一句讲结果，切题，故选C。 43. 根据前一句Visitors to the UK that have just washed their hands in an old-fashioned sink might be wondering why one tap is only for hot water，the other cold.可知，去英国的游客会注意传统的水盆边，有两个水龙头，一个冷水，一个热水，会很奇怪。E选项，用任何一个水龙头都会让洗手变得不舒服，讲述上一句现象的影响，切题，故选E。 44. 根据前一句For the majority of Brits，the cups available couldn’t stand the heat of the boiling water and would break，so milk was added first.可知，当时，大多数英国人能够使用的杯子无法承受开水的热量就会破裂，因此他们就先把牛奶加进去。F选项，这样就会降低杯子的温度，使之能够正常使用，讲述前一情况的原理，切题，故选F。 45. 根据文章可知，本处是对上文的总结，而B选项There is a method to the madness，看似疯狂，实则有理，很好对上文进行总结，切题，故选B。 【点睛】七选五做题步骤。先确定出题的位置；读题干，再读需要填入句子的上下句，画出关键词；读文章各段落，确定段落中心句和文章主题句；通读文章确定上下句和选项之间的逻辑关系。 若空格位置设在段首，则需要：1)查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。2)锁定关键词，然后在并列、转折、因果等选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的。 比如小题1，分析文章可知，第二段至第四段分别介绍英国靠左驾驶、水槽边有冷热两个水龙头以及喝茶加牛奶的习俗及其来源， G选项，以下就是三个比较特殊的英国习惯的来源，开启下面的三段，切题，故选G。 Passage 10 Venice is suffering the worst flooding the city has experienced in 50 years. The city is “on its knees” and Venetian Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted as water submerged(淹没) much of the famous historical city. While floods are a normal part of life in Venice, they have never happened with such frequency before. Experts say that climate change is likely to blame. 46 The Venetian council voted against a measure to fight climate change just a few moments before their chamber(会议厅) flooded. Flooding is just one of the many impacts from climate change that is being experienced with more frequency and globally threatens many vulnerable(脆弱的) areas and regions. There is a threat that is not often considered. 47 Natural and man-made heritage sites throughout the world are in danger of being damaged or destroyed by climate change. 48 Some will be hit by flooding, like Venice, others by extreme weather events or rising temperatures. For instance, George Town, the capital of the Malaysian state Penang faces rising sea levels, landslides and more severe typhoons, while Yellowstone ecosystem in the western United States faces melting snows, more frequent wildfires and a changing ecosystem. Changes in the ocean will have a profound impact on many of these sites. 49 And rising sea levels threaten to wash away many of the world’s great archaeological sites. Experts say that the solutions to saving these sites will be varied, but many will be very expensive. 50 A. Different ways can be used to save these sites. B. Climate change will impact these sites in different ways. C. It is the damage from climate change to the world’s heritage. D. But putting in place protective measures has proven difficult. E. Warming water threatens to kill much of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef. F. Many heritage sites on land are facing the great threat posed by global warming. G. Therefore, they suggest that countries should work together to protect heritage sites. 【答案】46. D 47. C 48. B 49. E 50. G 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。气候剧变威胁着全球各地的历史文化遗址。拯救刻不容缓。 46. 根据前文“Experts say that climate change is likely to blame.”(专家说气候变化可能是罪魁祸首。)可知，此处是指应采取措施应对气候变化，根据后文“The Venetian council voted against a measure to fight climate change just a few moments before their chamber (会议厅) flooded.”(就在他们的会议厅被淹没的前几分钟，威尼斯议会投票反对一项应对气候变化的措施。)可知，实施应对气候变化的措施很困难，前后形成转折对应选项D中的转折词but。所以选项D“但事实证明，落实保护措施是困难的。”切合文意。故选D。 47. 根据前文“There is a threat that is not often considered.”(存在一种不常被考虑的威胁。)可知，选项C中的it是指一种不常被考虑的威胁，根据后文“Natural and man-made heritage sites throughout the world are in danger of being damaged or destroyed by climate change.”(全世界的自然和人造遗产都面临着被气候变化破坏的危险。)可知，这就是气候变化对世界遗产的破坏，所以选项C“这是气候变化对世界遗产的破坏。”切合文意。故选C。 48. 根据后文“Some will be hit by flooding, like Venice, others by extreme weather events or rising temperatures.”(一些会受到洪水的袭击，比如威尼斯，另一些则会受到极端天气或气温上升的影响。)可知，此处是讲气候变化影响世界遗产的方式有很多，所以选项B“气候变化将以不同的方式影响这些地点。”切合文意。故选B。 49. 根据前文“Changes in the ocean will have a profound impact on many of these sites.”(海洋的变化将对其中许多地点产生深远的影响。)可知，此处是讲海洋变化对世界遗产的影响，根据后文“And rising sea levels threaten to wash away many of the world’s great archaeological sites.”(海平面上升让世界上许多伟大的考古遗址面临被冲走的威胁。)可知，此处是举例说明，所以选项E“变暖的海水威胁着大堡礁的大部分珊瑚。”切合文意。故选E。 50. 根据前文“Experts say that the solutions to saving these sites will be varied, but many will be very expensive.”(专家们说，拯救这些地方的方法多种多样，但其中很多都非常昂贵。)可知，此处是指专家们认为拯救这些地方的方法费用昂贵，所以各个国家应该团结起来保护世界遗产，所以选项G“因此，他们建议各国应共同努力保护遗产地。”切合文意。故选G。 Passage 11 Living heritages are cultural elements that are considered to be an important part of the cultural heritage of our nation and that are still present and transmitted today. 51 It is an artistic practice of writing Chinese characters, often with a brush and ink on Xuan paper. The evolution of Chinese calligraphy began alongside the earliest Chinese characters discovered to date — inscriptions on oracle bones(甲骨文), from the Shang Dynasty (c. 16th century — 11th century BC) in Anyang, Henan province. Over time, calligraphy gradually took shape as a form of art rather than a mere means of record. Five major styles of script were born. They were running, cursive, official, seal and regular. 52 The type of brush, density of ink and texture of paper can all change the output. From brush inclination and direction to speed of writing, every twist and turn of the wrist is also calculated. Structure of individual characters and special layout as a whole determine its quality. Moreover, the emotions of the writer are directly reflected on calligraphy. Calligraphy is a fine art. Lan Ting Xu is one of the most celebrated masterpieces. 53 Its elegance and expressive brushwork gave it both historical and cultural significance in Chinese literature.

A 【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章阐述了中国书法作为活态遗产的重要地位。 51. 上文提到“Living heritages are cultural elements that are considered to be an important part of the cultural heritage of our nation and that are still present and transmitted today.(活态遗产是我们国家文化遗产的重要组成部分，至今仍然存在并传承。) ”活态遗产至今仍然存在并传承，D选项“中国书法就是其中之一。”中的“them”则指的就是上文中的“Living heritages”，并且D项中的“Chinese calligraphy”直接对应下文“It is an artistic practice of writing Chinese characters, often with a brush and ink on Xuan paper.(这是一种书写汉字的艺术实践，通常用毛笔和墨水在宣纸上书写)”中的“It”，讲明中国书法是一种活态遗产。故选D。 52. 下文提到“The type of brush, density of ink and texture of paper can all change the output. From brush inclination and direction to speed of writing, every twist and turn of the wrist is also calculated.(画笔的类型、墨水的密度和纸张的纹理都会改变输出。从画笔的倾斜和方向到书写速度，还计算了手腕的每一次扭曲和转动。)”中国书法对于画笔的类型、墨水的密度和纸张的纹理都有要求，握笔的倾斜和方向、书写速度都会影响字的效果，这些和B选项“书法是一门要求很高的艺术。”中的“demanding”完全能吻合。故选B项。 53. 上文提到“Lan Ting Xu is one of the most celebrated masterpieces.(《兰亭序》是最著名的杰作之一。)” 书法著作《兰亭序》，G项“它是王羲之在东晋时期创造的。”进一步解释它是王羲之在东晋时期创造的。G选项中的“It”指的就是上文的“Lan Ting Xu”。故选G。 54. 上文提到“Where there is Chinese language, there is calligraphy.(有中文的地方就有书法。)”，有中文的地方就有书法， F项“有中国书法的地方，就有美。”进一步陈述有中国书法的地方就有美，与上文形成连贯的逻辑关系，表达了中国书法的普及性和美学价值。故选F。 55. 上文提到“Chinese calligraphy is still highly valued today for its more than just writing.(中国书法今天不仅仅因为书写而受到高度重视。)”中国书法的价值不仅仅在于写，A项“这是一种活态遗产。”中的“a living heritage.”进一步说明了其宝贵，并且和后文的“will be passed from generation to generation” 相吻合。故选A。 Passage 12 The world is a vast and beautiful place, full of natural wonders and man-made marvels.

(从罗马的古代遗址到中国的长城，有无数的地方让我们为我们的祖先感到骄傲)”提到这些奇迹让当代人为之骄傲，后文“They are also essential for future generations. (它们对后代也至关重要)”提到它们对后代的重要性，因此G项“But these places are not just important for our own enjoyment.
