专题02 阅读理解（记叙文&新闻报道）（解析版） （一） （23-24高一下·四川成都市成华区·期中） （1） Soon, you’ re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood. One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ ll think about that tomorrow. 4．What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose? A．Frequent pruning and fertilizing. B．A lot of care and the right soil. C．Tomato plants grown alongside. D．Cages placed around the roots. 5．The writer planted the tomato plant because______. A．there was room for it in the garden B．the soil was just right for it C．it cost only $1. 25 D．the roses’ branches needed to be covered 6．This year the writer’s roses were_______. A．removed from the rose bed B．largely hidden under the tomato plant C．mostly damaged by too much sunlight D．picked along with the tomatoes 7．By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to_________. A．express her liking for the roses B．show the hardship of growing the roses C．show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes D．express her care for the tomatoes 【答案】4．B 5．A 6．B 7．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者种西红柿的经历。作者在春天偶然栽种的一棵西红柿长成后个头非常大，影响到了园中的玫瑰花，作者在享受西红柿美味的同时，又难以割舍珍贵的玫瑰花，面对两种选择，作者举棋不定。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. (玫瑰需要精心呵护，如果不是为了它带来的乐趣，它就不值得花那么多功夫)”和第四段中的“Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes.(正好适合玫瑰生长的土壤条件对番茄来说更完美)”可知，玫瑰健康生长需要大量的照料和正确的土壤。故选B项。 5．细节理解题。从第三段倒数第二句“It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. (是因为花园里有足够的空间，我才种了一株小小的番茄)”可知，作家种西红柿是因为花园里有空地。故选A项。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段“One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. (花1美元买了一株9英寸的小植物，在春天的时候，它已经占据了我的大部分玫瑰花圃，覆盖了很多其他的植物，而且很快就会到达前门)”可知，西红柿已经盖住了玫瑰花。故选B项。 7．推理判断题。根据本段首句中the task可知，作者将摘西红柿看成是一项“任务”；以及“First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. (首先，我必须在叶子中找到红色的，这意味着我几乎要倒立起来，一旦找到了，我就必须把手伸到下面，摘起西红柿，然后收回我的拳头，不让我来之不易的奖品掉下去)”可知，在第5段中，作者想通过说“来之不易的奖品”来表达摘西红柿的困难。故选C项。 （2） For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript（手稿）consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand. The author's intention remains as mysterious（神秘）as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says. Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus. The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map. Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving. Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering（修补）, as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light. If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. 12．How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript? A．Confused about the technical terms. B．Impressed with its detailed instructions. C．Discouraged by its complex structure. D．Shocked for her own lack of hand skills. 13．According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________. A．restore old workshops B．understand the craftsmen C．improve visual effects D．inspire the philosophers 14．Why does the author mention museums? A．To reveal the beauty of ancient objects. B．To present the findings of old science. C．To highlight the importance of antiques. D．To emphasise the values of hand skills. 15．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists B．Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories C．Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists D．Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science 【答案】12．D 13．B 14．D 15．C 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述科学家Paula Smith致力于对古代手工技能的研究，认为科学家如果能够把古代的手工技能和现代的科学方法结合起来，就能够创造更大成就。 12．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.” 让史密斯震惊的主要是，她并没有真正掌握作者所描述的任何技能。她说:“你根本无法通过阅读来了解这些手工作品。” 由此可知读完这份法国手稿，这种手工技能让史密斯感到震惊，故选D。 13．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, ” 重建几个世纪前工匠的作品，可以揭示他们如何看待世界，他们的家里有什么物件。由此可知，重建工作主要是为了了解工匠。故选B。 14．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down.” 史密斯说，这项工作也给博物馆带来了深刻的见解。为了保存它，一个人必须知道一件物品是如何制成的。更重要的是，重建可能是唯一的方法，以了解宝藏磨损之前的样子。因此可知，博物馆要想很好保存物品，必须要知道这件物品是如何制成的，也是在强调手工技能的价值，故选D。 15．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. ”史密斯说，如果我们能重新发现实践经验和工艺的价值，我们就能将现代的最好见解与我们祖先的灵巧结合起来。由此可知本文的中心思想就在于如果科学家能把古代的手工技巧同现代的理论结合起来，就能够获得更多的成就。C选项Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists工艺造就了更好的科学家，符合文章主题，适合做标题，故选C。 【点睛】标题猜测题。属于主旨大意题的一种，标题应位于文章之首，概括文章内容，点明文章主题。它可以是单词，短语，或句子。确定文章标题，第一，标题要与主题密切相关；其次，看标题是否能概括全文内容，不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节；第三，标题范围不应太大或太小；最后，标题应新颖，概括性强并且精炼。小题4中C选项概括文中主旨大意，与主题密切相关，故选C。 （二） （23-24高一下·四川成都市树德中学·期中） I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴),” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed. Since I first touched the viola, I haven’t been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day. Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger. Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had “ viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life. 24. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs? A. To introduce an interesting musical class. B. To offer the evidence of her gift for music. C. To show the importance of proper guide. D. To tell the power of support from parents. 25. According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author? A. By developing social skills. B. By improving mental health. C. By broadening life experience. D. By building close relationship. 26. What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph? A. Easily tricked. B. Firmly loved. C. Greatly challenged. D. Secretly hidden. 27. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Special event, sweet memory. B. Classical music, endless friendship C. Lifetime dream, great effort. D. Happy childhood, unforgotten experience. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一个偶然的机会开始拉中提琴，感受到古典音乐对我们的情感带来的好处，并把它看作一生最诚挚的朋友的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句老师说的话“You have hands for the viola (中提琴)（你有一双拉提琴的手）”，第一段最后一句“I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed.（我告诉父母我想拉琴，他们自然同意了）”以及第二段最后一句“Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.（无视困难，我每天都离它越来越近）”因为老师的一句话以及父母的支持，作者才接触到古典音乐，并且坚持下去。由此可以推断，作者写第一、二段的目的是为了说明老师和父母的正确引导对作者后来喜欢上古典音乐的重要性。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数三句“I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger. (当我难过的时候，古典音乐给了我安慰。它给了我一个暂时逃避问题的方法。古典音乐可以表达我的喜悦、悲伤和愤怒)”可知，古典音乐可以帮助作者改善精神状况。故选B项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。文章第四段中画线词后的一二句“for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had “ viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district.（因为相信任何人，甚至是音乐老师，都能分辨出某人的手是否适合弹奏某种乐器。我确定他们告诉我，我有‘一双拉中提琴的手’不是因为他们是算命先生，而是因为在那个地区缺少中提琴演奏者）”可知，作者认识到当时相信了老师说自己“有一双拉中提琴的手”，而这其实并不是真话，由此可以猜测作者觉得自己轻信了老师的话，即gullible意思为“轻信的，易受骗的”。 故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段第一句“Classical music is truly my best friend.（古典音乐是我最好的朋友）”和文章最后一句“If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.（如果你以正确的方式了解它，它将成为你终生的朋友）”可知，本文主要讲述了作者一个偶然的机会开始拉中提琴，从此古典音乐成了作者最好的朋友。因此“Classical Music, Endless Friendship（古典音乐，永恒的友谊）”适合可以用作文章标题。故选B项。 （三） （23-24高一下·四川成都市东部新区·期中） After completing my first year of studies, I spent two months travelling in Nepal. There were so many sights to see, foods to eat, and fun activities to try. I only experienced a few of them, but it was an incredible experience all the same. The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people. They are kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need. This may be a cliché (陈词滥调) that you hear from most travellers regarding the country they travelled to, but I’m saying so because of what I saw among the citizens themselves, rather than how they treated me as a visitor. Little things about how the local people interact with each other makes me believe that the Nepalese people are truly wonderful. It shows in the way that the bus drivers and passengers keep the bus waiting for the last passenger, or the motorist smiles and waves to a kid who runs into the street after his ball. The people are like a bowl of hot soup on a rainy day – always warm and comforting. Conversations were as natural as if we had known each other for years. All the people I met during my trip made me feel at home and made my journey an unforgettable one. The Sauraha village was my first destination. It is an amazingly quiet and peaceful place, where the people lead their lives at their own pace. Although the temperature was high during the day, it was a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as the one-horned rhino (独角犀牛) and elephants. I also got to attend some cultural shows and experience some of the traditional dances of the Nepalese people. Of all the places I went to within Nepal, Pokhara was undoubtedly the best place I visited. The environment is great there, and there are a lot of fun things to try out. I chose to go boating on a lake, but you can also go diving. Some of the nearby hills provide a great view of the sunrise early in the morning. Nepal is beautiful in so many ways. Whether you are looking to relax in the wildness and quietness of nature, or go on an exciting adventure, Nepal offers a variety of options. It will surely impress you. 12. What does the author think of the Nepalese people? A. They treat visitors and local people differently. B. They show kindness and warmth even in little things. C. They often provide others with a bowl of hot soup on rainy days. D. It’s easy to talk to them if you have known them for a long time. 13. What does “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The temperature. B. The Sauraha people. C. The Sauraha village. D. The wildlife. 14. What does the author like about Pokhara? A. The peaceful lifestyle of the villagers. B. Experiencing a traditional Nepalese dance. C. Wild animals such as the one-horned rhino. D. Seeing the sunrise from the top of a hill. 15. What would be the best title for this passage? A. How to Interact with the Nepalese People. B. The Natural Environment of Nepal. C. Useful Tips for Travelling to Nepal. D. Nepal: An Impressive and Attractive Country. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者去尼泊尔旅游的经历。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people. They are kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need.(我首先注意到的是尼泊尔的人民。他们善良友好，随时准备帮助需要帮助的人)”及“Little things about how the local people interact with each other makes me believe that the Nepalese people are truly wonderful. It shows in the way that the bus drivers and passengers keep the bus waiting for the last passenger, or the motorist smiles and waves to a kid who runs into the street after his ball.(当地人之间的细微互动让我相信尼泊尔人真的很好。通过公共汽车司机和乘客让公共汽车等待最后的乘客，或司机微笑着向一个追着球跑到街上的孩子挥手致意就能展示出来)”可知，作者认为尼泊尔人民即使在小事上也表现出善意和热情。故选B。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段划线词it前文“The Sauraha village was my first destination. It is an amazingly quiet and peaceful place, where the people lead their lives at their own pace. Although the temperature was high during the day, it was a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as the one-horned rhino and elephants.(Sauraha村是我的第一个目的地。这是一个安静祥和的地方，人们按照自己的节奏生活。虽然白天温度很高，但这是一个可以看到一些野生动物的好地方，比如独角犀牛和大象)”可知，文中的两个it都指代前文提到的The Sauraha village这个地方。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Of all the places I went to within Nepal, Pokhara was undoubtedly the best place I visited.(在我去过的尼泊尔所有地方中，博卡拉无疑是我去过的最好的地方)”及“Some of the nearby hills provide a great view of the sunrise early in the morning.(附近的一些山丘提供了清晨日出的绝佳景色)”可知，作者喜欢博卡拉是由于可以在那里的山顶上看日出。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“After completing my first year of studies, I spent two months travelling in Nepal. There were so many sights to see, foods to eat, and fun activities to try. I only experienced a few of them, but it was an incredible experience all the same.(完成第一年的学习后，我在尼泊尔旅行了两个月。有那么多的景点要看，有那么多的食物要吃，有那么多有趣的活动要尝试。我只经历了其中的几个，但这仍然是一次不可思议的经历)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了作者在尼泊尔旅游的经历，这次经历让作者印象深刻，认为尼泊尔是一个很吸引人的国家。D选项“尼泊尔：一个令人印象深刻和有吸引力的国家”符合本文主旨大意，适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 （四） （23-24高一下·四川成都市简阳市·期中） I had never even considered being a stay-at-home dad. I worked as a broadcaster for 20 years, and to an extent, I felt defined by my job. I was also never close to my own father. After my parents divorced, my dad and I stopped speaking when I was 15, and we would never speak to each other again. I found out he died almost by chance. Yet here I was, with no real road map on how to be a father. My wife and I read all the books and talked to friends with kids. Then our son Finn arrived and from the moment we saw him, we both finally knew what love was. With parental leave finishing, we went back to work. We tried daycare. Our son was always sick and we felt sick inside from being apart from him. We decided that one of us would have to stay at home with him. So I quit working. I am grateful every day that I did. Staying at home with my son changed me. It takes patience to be with a child all day, and I found I had more of it than I thought. His excitement at each new discovery was infectious. Inspired by his openness and creativity, I found myself having adventures and building Lego spaceships together with him. My son has made me a better person, and I came to realize that being a parent was also going to make me better at my job. Even though I once never thought I’d be a stay-at-home dad, now I know I was born to do it. Being a father is the great honor of my life. Finn and I are deeply close, and I feel sad for fathers like my own, who never get to know this kind of intimacy. I had to leave work to build this relationship, and it was worth it. The experience of staying home has increased my value as an employee and a person. 4. Why did the author know little about being a father? A. He didn’t have a model to follow. B. His friends didn’t talk about it with him. C. His wife seldom needed him for parenting. D. He disliked reading books about parenting. 5. Why did the author give up his job? A He made enough money. B. He wanted to rest for some time. C. He was not satisfied with his job. D. He wanted to take care of his son. 6. What does the underlined word “intimacy” mean in paragraph 4? A. disappointment. B. closeness. C. excitement. D. surprise. 7. What does the author express in the last paragraph? A. He intends to forgive his father. B. He actually wants to return to work. C. He becomes good at balancing his work and life. D. He benefits a lot from the valuable experience. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者辞掉工作，成为了全职奶爸。文中描述了作者和自己父亲的关系以及从照顾儿子中得到的感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was also never close to my own father. After my parents divorced, my dad and I stopped speaking when I was 15, and we would never speak to each other again.(我和自己的父亲也从来没有亲近过。我父母离婚后，我和我爸爸在我15岁的时候就不说话了，我们再也不说话了)”可知，作者对做父亲知之甚少因为他没有榜样可以学习。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Our son was always sick and we felt sick inside from being apart from him. We decided that one of us would have to stay at home with him. So I quit working. I am grateful every day that I did.(我们的儿子总是生病，和他分开使我们内心感到难受。我们决定必须有一个人留在家里陪他。所以我辞职了。我每天都为我所做的一切而心存感激)”可知，作者放弃了他的工作因为他想照顾他的儿子。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Finn and I are deeply close, and I feel sad for fathers like my own, who never get to know this kind of”可知，Finn和我非常亲密，我为像我自己的父亲哪样的父亲感到难过，他们从未了解过这种亲密关系。故画线词意思是“亲密”，A. disappointment.失望；B. closeness.亲密；C. excitement.激动；D. surprise.惊讶。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I had to leave work to build this relationship, and it was worth it. The experience of staying home has increased my value as an employee and a person.(我不得不辞掉工作来建立这段关系，这是值得的。呆在家里的经历增加了我作为一个员工和一个人的价值)”可推知，作者在最后一段表达了他从宝贵的经验中获益良多。故选D。 （五） （23-24高一下·四川绵阳市南山中学·期中） In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market. Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that occupied little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could show their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless outfit (全套服装) and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman. “My own idea of Barbie” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.” There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was wonderful,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig (假发) on top of its head and tell the doll that it’s time to be beautiful again.” Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism (应对机制) during an extremely unhappy time for little families. 24. Why did Handler create Barbie? A. To make a hit in the women’s retail market. B. To appeal to boys with her various clothing. C. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish. D. To do a research on women’s career choices. 25. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie? A. Interested yet proud. B. Sad yet comforted. C. Delighted and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful. 26. What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family? A. A reliable emotional support. B. A glue for broken relationships. C. An effective practical treatment. D. A secret medium of argument. 27. Which newspaper section is the text probably taken from? A. Medicine. B. Sports. C. Story. D. Environment. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Handler创造芭比娃娃是想要打破传统的女孩玩具角色，让女孩们能够展示自己未来的梦想，激励她们做出自己想要的选择。此外，文章还介绍了面向癌症患者的芭比娃娃——勇敢的芭比娃娃，这款特殊的芭比娃娃成为了癌症患者家庭中的一种交流工具和应对机制，让患者们在艰难的时刻找到了慰藉和支持。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““My own idea of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.” (Handler在自传中写道:“我对芭比娃娃的看法是，通过这个娃娃，小女孩可以成为任何她想成为的人。芭比娃娃一直代表着一个事实，那就是女人有自己的选择。”)”可知，Handler创造芭比娃娃是为了激励女孩们做出自己想要的选择。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was wonderful,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig (假发) on top of its head and tell the doll that it’s time to be beautiful again.” (癌症幸存者Michelle说：“给我的女儿一个患癌症的芭比娃娃真是太棒了。我们会一起玩这个芭比娃娃，我心碎地看着她假装带着芭比娃娃去医院做化疗，或者把它的长假发戴在它的头上，告诉它，是时候恢复美丽了。”)”可知，Michelle的女儿会懂事地带着勇敢的芭比娃娃去做化疗，也会用假发帮娃娃恢复美丽，是不幸中交织着美好希望的情景。由此推知，这让当时患有癌症的Michelle既觉得伤心，也受到一定的安慰。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism (应对机制) during an extremely unhappy time for little families. (芭比娃娃已经不仅仅是一个塑料娃娃了——她是一个交流的工具，是一个在小家庭极度不幸时期的应对机制。)”可知，勇敢的芭比娃娃于Michelle一家而言是可靠的情感支持，帮助他们应对极度不幸的时刻。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕芭比娃娃展开，分为两个部分，第一至三段主要讲述Handler创造芭比娃娃的经过、初衷和引起的反响，第四和第五段主要介绍面向癌症患者的芭比娃娃——勇敢的芭比娃娃，以Michelle一家的经历为例，讲述了这款特殊的芭比娃娃对这些家庭的重要意义。因此，文章主要和芭比娃娃这样一款玩具背后的故事相关，应该会出自报纸的故事版块。故选C项。 （六） （23-24高一下·四川绵阳市江油市·期中） （1） Three very strong women — my mother, my grandmother and Melinda — deserve big credit for helping me become the man I am today. But Blanche Caffiere, a very kind teacher and librarian I’ve never written about before, also had a huge influence on me. Mrs. Caffiere died in 2006, shortly after reaching her 100th birthday. Before she passed away, I had an opportunity to visit her and thank her for the important role she played in my life. When I first met Mrs. Caffiere, she was the elegant and engaging school librarian at Seattle’s View Ridge Elementary, and I was a fourth grader. I was desperately trying to go unnoticed, because I had some big weaknesses, like dysgraphia (书写障碍), and had a totally messy desk with books around. And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read — something that was cool for girls but not for boys. Mrs. Caffiere took me under her wings and helped make it okay for me to be a messy, nerdy boy who was reading lots of books. She pulled me out of my shell. She started by asking questions like, “What do you like to read?” and “What are you interested in?” Then she found me a lot of books. For example, she gave me great biographies she had read. Once I’d read them, she would make the time to discuss them with me. “Did you like the book? Why? What did you learn?” She listened to what I had to say patiently. Through those book conversations in the library and in the classroom we became good friends. Teachers generally don’t want to burden their students with extra reading beyond the homework they’ve given. But I learned from Mrs. Caffiere that my teachers had so much knowledge to share. Looking back on it, there’s no question that my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped spark my interest in libraries and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit of great teachers. I should give great thanks to the devoted teacher and librarian who helped me find my strengths when I was nine years old. It’s remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child. 4．Which of the following best describes the writer when he was in his fourth grade? A．Elegant and engaging B．Shy and untidy C．Weak and desperate D．Curious and friendly 5．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．She forced the writer to read more books. B．She helped the writer to overcome his weaknesses. C．She turned the writer into a book lover. D．She encouraged the writer not to hide his love of reading. 6．What do we know about Mrs. Caffiere? A．She had the greatest influence on the writer. B．She influenced the writer’s decision on helping American children. C．She used to give the writer too much homework to help him learn. D．She hadn’t seen the writer since he left the school. 7．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Teacher Who Changed My Life. B．The Story of a Kind Teacher. C．My School Life with Great Teachers. D．Every Student Deserves to Be Encouraged. 【答案】4．B 5．D 6．B 7．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。害羞、不整洁的作者羞于让人知道自己喜欢阅读，此时遇到学校的老师兼图书管理员Blanche Caffiere太太，她鼓励作者阅读，表达，大方展示出对阅读的喜欢，老师的做法对作者产生了极大的影响，也导致了作者在未来的关于帮助美国儿童的决定，可见一个好的老师对孩子的影响力是非凡的。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“I was desperately trying to go unnoticed, because I had some big weaknesses, like dysgraphia (书写障碍), and had a totally messy desk with books around. (我拼命地想不被人注意，因为我有一些很大的弱点，比如书写障碍，而且桌子上堆满了书)”可知，作者当时因为自身有书写障碍等弱点，很不自信，不希望大家关注他，回避众人的关注，而且课桌上书本凌乱堆放。故选B项。 5．词句猜测题。根据“And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read — something that was cool for girls but not for boys. (我试图掩盖我喜欢阅读的事实——一些对女孩来说很酷，但对男孩来说不太合适的东西。)”可知，作者喜欢看书，但是不想被人知道；第四段“Mrs. Caffiere took me under her wings and helped make it okay for me to be a messy, nerdy boy who was reading lots of books. (卡菲埃太太对我呵护有加，帮助我（知道）成为一个邋遢、书呆子、读了很多书的男孩没什么大不了)”可知，卡菲埃太太改变了作者的观点，喜欢阅读不是坏事，以及下文“She started by asking questions like, ‘What do you like to read?’ and ‘What are you interested in?’ Then she found me a lot of books. For example, she gave me great biographies she had read. Once I’d read them, she would make the time to discuss them with me. ‘Did you like the book? Why? What did you learn?’ She listened to what I had to say patiently.  (她首先问了这样的问题：‘你喜欢读什么书？’以及‘你对什么感兴趣？’然后她给我找了很多书。例如，她给了我她读过的伟大传记。一旦我读了，她就会抽出时间和我讨论。‘你喜欢这本书吗？为什么？你学到了什么？’她耐心地听我说。)”可知，卡菲埃太太鼓励作者读书，还耐心跟作者交流。由此推知，She pulled me out of my shell，是指卡菲埃太太通过鼓励作者读书、交流，使作者从“试图掩盖喜欢阅读的事实”转为“能与老师进行阅读交流”的男孩，老师鼓励作者大方展示出对阅读的喜爱。故选D项。 6．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Looking back on it, there’s no question that my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped spark my interest in libraries and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit of great teachers. I should give great thanks to the devoted teacher and librarian who helped me find my strengths when I was nine years old. It’s remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child. (现在回想起来，毫无疑问，我和卡菲埃太太在一起的时光激发了我对图书馆的兴趣，并让我专注于帮助美国的每一个孩子都能从优秀教师那里受益。我要非常感谢那位尽心尽力的老师兼图书管理员，在我9岁时，她帮助我发现了自己的长处。一个好人能对一个孩子的一生产生多大的影响，这是不可思议的)”可知，卡菲埃太太对作者影响很大，她的引导最终影响了作者关于帮助美国儿童的决定。故选B项。 7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段最后一句“But Blanche Caffiere, a very kind teacher and librarian I’ve never written about before, also had a huge influence on me. (但布兰奇·卡菲埃，一位非常善良的老师和图书管理员，我以前从未写过，对我也有巨大的影响)”可知，本文介绍了一位影响作者人生方向的老师兼图书管理员，卡菲埃太太。故选A项。 （2） According to a new report in Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, the number of online posts related to the circulation(流通) of used goods in 2022 increased by 814 percent year on year. Instead of buying useless things, people are changing towards using secondhand goods and replacing underused or unused objects. This trend is picking up in the country. Since the summer of 2022, a 26-year-old Shanghai citizen named Chen Jiaorong has been walking along Julu Road in Shanghai’s downtown area once or twice a week, looking around and picking up “garbage” (垃圾). After her action was noticed online, she was described by others as a “stooper”. The word “stoop” means to bend forward, but in the United States, it also refers to a platform or entrance stairway to a house. The term “stooper” was created in the US after a lot of people put their used or underused belongings in front of their doorsteps to be taken away for free by those in need. Later, “stooping” was used to mean “picking up abandoned goods and recycling them”. As the first “stooper” in China, Chen had her own way. She picked unused goods to help find suitable new owners for some items. When she found such abandoned (被抛弃的) goods, she put a pair of eyeball-shaped stickers on them before publishing notes on her social media accounts, and guiding others to pick them up from the streets. “‘Stooping’ is a new word in China, and some people even have no idea of it. Most of us still think secondhand goods are dirty and it is embarrassing to reuse them,” said Wu Kaisi, a well-known stooper in Guangzhou. “The slowing economy and the increasing cost of living have pushed the development of the used-goods industry. People are gradually advocating (提倡) a savings-based consumption (消费) and environment-friendly lifestyle instead of blindly seeking for expensive consumption. Now, more young people are joining us.” 8．What does the report in paragraph 1 show? A．Selling used items is popular among young people. B．Reusing secondhand goods has become a new trend. C．People tend to buy products from social media platform. D．The buying power of Chinese consumers is in decline. 9．What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A．To explain a fact. B．To make a prediction. C．To make some concepts clear. D．To present an example. 10．How did Chen find owners for the abandoned goods? A．By organizing offline sales. B．By displaying them on Julu Road. C．By putting up notices on the street. D．By posting related information online. 11．What does Wu Kaisi think of the lifestyle of stooping? A．It is embarrassing. B．It is worth advocating. C．It slows down the development of economy. D．It changes young people’s wasteful lifestyle 【答案】8．B 9．C 10．D 11．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了人们的消费观正在发生改变，他们倾向于使用二手物品，并更换自己未充分使用或未使用的物品，而上海姑娘陈娇蓉作为中国第一位“垃圾猎人”，会沿着巨鹿路寻找别人不要的东西，并帮助这些东西找到新的主人。 8．推理判断题。根据第一段“According to a new report in Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, the number of online posts related to the circulation(流通) of used goods in 2022 increased by 814 percent year on year. Instead of buying useless things, people are changing towards using secondhand goods and replacing underused or unused objects. This trend is picking up in the country.(根据中国社交媒体平台小红书的一份新报告，2022年与二手商品流通相关的在线帖子数量同比增长814%。人们不再购买无用的东西，而是转向使用二手商品，更换未充分利用或未使用的物品。这一趋势在该国逐渐抬头。)”可推测出，重复利用二手物品已经成为一个新趋势。故选B。 9．推理判断题。根据第三段“The word ‘stoop’ means to bend forward, but in the United States, it also refers to a platform or entrance stairway to a house. The term ‘stooper’ was created in the US after a lot of people put their used or underused belongings in front of their doorsteps to be taken away for free by those in need. Later, ‘stooping’ was used to mean ‘picking up abandoned goods and recycling them’.(‘弯腰’一词的意思是向前弯曲，但在美国，它也指通往房屋的平台或入口楼梯。‘弯腰者’一词是在美国产生的，因为很多人把他们用过或未充分使用的物品放在家门口，由有需要的人免费拿走。后来，‘弯腰’被用来表示‘捡起废弃的物品并回收利用’。)”可知，本段主要解释了stoop、stooper、stooping三个词的含义，由此可推测出，本段主要是为了把一些概念讲清楚。故选C。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When she found such abandoned(被抛弃的) goods, she put a pair of eyeball-shaped stickers on them before publishing notes on her social media accounts, and guiding others to pick them up from the streets.(当她发现这些被遗弃的物品时，她在上面贴了一对眼球状的贴纸，然后在社交媒体账户上发布笔记，并引导其他人从街上捡起来。)”可知，她通过在网上发布相关信息来帮助别人找到这些被遗弃的物品。故选D。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Wu Kaisi的话“The slowing economy and the increasing cost of living have pushed the development of the used-goods industry. People are gradually advocating(提倡) a savings-based consumption(消费) and environment-friendly lifestyle instead of blindly seeking for expensive consumption. Now, more young people are joining us.”(经济放缓和生活成本上升推动了二手商品行业的发展。人们逐渐提倡以储蓄为基础的消费和环保的生活方式，而不是一味追求昂贵的消费。现在，越来越多的年轻人加入了我们的行列。)”可推测出，他认为捡二手物品的生活方式值得提倡。故选B。 （七） （23-24高一下·四川德阳市外国语学校·期中） It’s not unusual for kids to change friends, change schools, or change the way they dress as they’re growing up. But what about changing into a giant (巨大的) red panda? That’s the life of a 13-year-old girl named Mei Lee, the perfectly imperfect main character of Disney and Pixar’s new film, Turning Red. Turning Red tells a coming-of-age story like no other. Mel is a Chinese Canadian girl who turns into a giant red panda anytime she experiences strong emotions, and must find a way to manage both her school life and home life in early 2000s Toronto, Canada. Mel tries to deal with hanging out with her three best friends, the boy band they like and her protective mother, who isn’t ready to let go of her growing daughter. “Turning Red is inspired by the difficulties of growing up and trying to find out how to honor your parents, but also stay true to yourself,” said director Domee Shi. “For Mei Lee in the movie, before becoming the red panda, she thinks she has it all figured out, like we all did before we woke up one day and realized all of a sudden, we’re covered in body hair, our feelings are all over the place, and we’re hungry all the time. Turning Red describes the complexities (难题) of mother-daughter relationships well. In fact, the real-life experiences of the film’s crew (摄制组成员) inspired several scenes. To make her crew share more about their childhood, Shi created a video at the office with her team. She encouraged everyone to look back to the past and bring out their embarrassing teen pictures and memories. It worked! “The crew started bringing in their old middle school yearbooks,” said producer Lindsey Collins. “They shared stories of their funny moments in middle school. Also, those of us who are parents shared our bad parenting moments. It’s meaningful. As a team, we just really tried to be real with one another about our daily failures and our daily successes.” It seems that however old you are, there is a little bit of Mei in all of us. 4．When will the girl turn into a giant red panda? A．When she was 13 years old. B．Anytime she has strong feelings. C．When she stays with friends. D．When she can manage her school life. 5．What is the main topic of the film? A．Teenagers’ problems of growing up. B．Dealing with home life wisely. C．Getting along with best friends. D．Ways to control emotions. 6．How did the director get inspiration about describing mother-daughter relationship? A．She interviewed some middle school students. B．She analyzed some typical pictures of her parents. C．She thought hard and figured out the idea by herself. D．She asked the film’s crew to share their experiences. 7．What is Lindsey Collins’s attitude towards sharing more about childhood? A．Uncaring. B．Doubtful. C．Negative. D．Supportive. 【答案】4．B 5．A 6．D 7．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Turning Red这部关于成长、家庭和爱的电影 4．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Mel is a Chinese Canadian girl who turns into a giant red panda anytime she experiences strong emotions, and must find a way to manage both her school life and home life in early 2000s Toronto, Canada. ”（梅是一个华裔加拿大女孩，每当她遇到强烈的情绪时，她就会变成一只巨大的小熊猫，并且必须找到一种方法来管理她在21世纪初加拿大多伦多的学校和家庭生活。）可知，当小女孩经历强烈的情绪波动时就会变成一只巨大的小熊猫。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Mel tries to deal with hanging out with her three best friends, the boy band they like and her protective mother, who isn’t ready to let go of her growing daughter.”（梅试图处理好与她的三个最好的朋友，他们喜欢的男孩乐队和保护她的母亲，她不准备放弃她正在成长的女儿的关系。）可以推断，本文主要讲述了主人公在成长过程中的一些问题。故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据最后一段第四句“She encouraged everyone to look back to the past and bring out their embarrassing teen pictures and memories.”（她鼓励每个人都回顾过去，拿出他们令人尴尬的青少年照片和记忆。）可知，Domee Shi鼓励每个人回忆过去然后分享他们尴尬的图片和记忆来获得这个方面的灵感。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段Lindsey Collins.所说的“They shared stories of their funny moments in middle school. Also, those of us who are parents shared our bad parenting moments. It’s meaningful. As a team, we just really tried to be real with one another about our daily failures and our daily successes.”（“他们分享了自己在中学时的趣事。此外，我们这些为人父母的人也分享了我们养育孩子的糟糕时刻。这是有意义的。作为一个团队，我们只是试图真实地面对我们每天的失败和成功。”）可知，Lindsey Collins认为这个分享是有意义的，因此对于分享这个观点是支持的。故选D。 （八） （23-24高一下·四川泸州市龙马潭区·期中） （1） When we drove through a twenty-foot-tall fence and entered the Okonjima Camp in central Namibia, the first question on our minds was whether the fence was being used to keep animals in or out. Our guide was quick to say, “Out.” The Okonjima Camp works with the AfriCat Foundation that accepts injured big cats. So there was no shortage of cats, and on that first night, we heard growls (咆哮) from our houses. How close we were! I hope nobody left the gate open. The next day of our Africa trip started with a journey outside the fences and protected zone to track a mother leopard (花豹) and her baby the guide had seen the previous day, and we were happy to find them very quickly. The mother leopard was aware of our presence but was relaxed since our car was a healthy distance away, and we sat for 45 minutes watching the sweet interactions between mother and baby. Later in the day, the guide said we would go on a hike. Everything we were told before about staying in the vehicle and not leaving the fenced arca of the camp was put aside. We were going to find cheetahs (猎豹). It is safer to approach cheetahs, keeping a safe distance, and our guide got out earphones to listen on the leopards’ radio collar (颈圈) frequency to see if any were in the area. No leopards, no problems. Let’s go look for cheetahs, and we did find them. Well, I didn’t. Our guide’s tracking skills were phenomenal. He quickly found them somehow lying in the shade of some tall grass. After some time, they stood up on their long legs. No cheetah-fast speed, but a silent walk into the bushes (灌木丛). 24. How did the author feel on the first night in the camp? A. Excited. B. Sleepy. C. Nervous. D. Curious. 25. What was the author’s purpose of going on a hike? A. To find a proper place to build a new camp. B. To test his new radio technology. C. To track a mother leopard D. To observe cheetahs. 26. What does the underlined word “phenomenal” mean in the last paragraph? d A. impressive. B. limited. C. important. D. different. 27. What is the text mainly about? A Tourism in Namibia. B. An adventure with big cats in Namibia. C. The importance of wildlife protection. D. A conflict between humans and big cats. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者在纳米比亚寻找大型猫科动物的冒险故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“So there was no shortage of cats, and on that first night, we heard growls (咆哮) from our houses. How close we were! I hope nobody left the gate open.(所以这里不缺猫科动物，在第一个晚上，我们听到了从家里传来的咆哮。我们是多么近啊！我希望没人忘了关门。)”可知，作者所在的营地周围有很多大型猫科动物，他在营地的第一天晚上有些紧张惶恐。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Later in the day, the guide said we would go on a hike.(当天晚些时候，导游说我们要去徒步旅行。)”和“We were going to find cheetahs (猎豹).(我们要去找到猎豹。)”可知，作者徒步旅行的目的是为了找到猎豹，近距离观察它们。故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Let’s go look for cheetahs, and we did find them. Well, I didn’t.(我们去找猎豹吧，我们确实找到了。好吧，我没有。)”和“He quickly found them somehow lying in the shade of some tall grass.(他很快就发现它们躺在一些高草的阴影下。)”可知，作者并没有发现猎豹，而是自己的导游很快就发现了躺在阴凉处的猎豹，由此可推知，导游的追踪技术很出色。phenomenal意为“了不起的；非凡的”，和impressive意思相近。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The next day of our Africa trip started with a journey outside the fences and protected zone to track a mother leopard (花豹) and her baby the guide had seen the previous day, and we were happy to find them very quickly.(第二天，我们的非洲之旅从围栏和保护区外开始，去追踪向导前一天看到的一只母豹和她的孩子，我们很高兴很快就找到了它们。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在纳米比亚寻找大型猫科动物的冒险旅程，因此B项“An adventure with big cats in Namibia.(在纳米比亚与大型猫科动物的冒险。)”最能概括文章主旨。故选B。 （2） The first wave of concerns over artificial intelligence(AI)in 2023 appeared soon after New Year’s Day when classrooms reopened and schools from Seattle to Paris started blocking ChatGPT, a powerful software based on AI large language models, because teenagers were using it to do their homework. The AI large language models behind such products as ChatGPT work by repeatedly guessing the next word in a sentence after having “learned” the rules from a huge amount of/human-written works. Although they often get facts wrong, their answers appear so natural that Keven, their inventors begin to worry about their possible use for spreading false information. People became more worried when various AI products started to create not just texts but novel images, music and human voices, which threatened the livelihoods of anyone who writes, draws or sings for a living. It led to strikes by Hollywood writers and actors and legal challenges from artists and bestselling authors. Some of the most respected scientists even warned that the technology’s unchecked progress was possibly threatening human existence. “In the longer term, they might manage our attention,” pioneering AI scientist Fei Fei Lisaid. “They would tell us which video to watch, which book to read or whose communication to respond as AI technology’s abilities improve rapidly. They could be a very good assistant, but also with really big risks.” Li hoped that 2023 is going to be a year for people to think about what Al is, how to use it and what the effects are — all the good, the bad and the ugly. “It’s easy to forget that they are not the first wave of AI products. Computer vision techniques developed by Li and other scientists have helped sort through a huge database of photos to recognize objects and individual faces and guide self-driving cars. Speech recognition advances have made voice assistants like Siri and Alexa a normal thing in many people’s lives,” said Tom Gruber, co-founder of Siri Inc. 28. Why did schools try to stop their students from using ChatGPT? A. ChatGPT often got facts wrong in the class. B. Students spent too much time on the software. C. ChatGPT helped students spread false information. D. Students used the software to cheat at their homework. 29. What are the second and third paragraphs mainly about? A. AI’s training costs. B. ATs amazing abilities. C. AI’s possible threats. D. AI’s fast developments. 30. What would Tom Gruber most probably suggest people do? A. Think carefully about AI’s impact. B. Welcome AI technology C. Do use ChatGPT more carefully. D. Upgrade ChatGPT in time. 31. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A guide book to a software. C. A product review. D. An introduction to a person. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了各方对AI产品所带来的不确定性的不同反应。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The first wave of concerns over artificial intelligence(AI)in 2023 appeared soon after New Year’s Day when classrooms reopened and schools from Seattle to Paris started blocking ChatGPT, a powerful software based on AI large language models, because teenagers were using it to do their homework.(2023年对人工智能（AI）的第一波担忧出现在元旦之后不久，当时教室重新开放，从西雅图到巴黎的学校开始屏蔽ChatGPT，这是一款基于人工智能大型语言模型的强大软件，因为青少年正在用它来做作业)”可知，学校禁用Chat GPT是因为学生利用该软件作弊。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The AI large language models behind such products as ChatGPT work by repeatedly guessing the next word in a sentence after having “learned” the rules from a huge amount of/human-written works. Although they often get facts wrong, their answers appear so natural that Keven, their inventors begin to worry about their possible use for spreading false information.(ChatGPT等产品背后的人工智能大型语言模型，在从大量的人类写作作品中“学习”规则后，通过反复猜测句子中的下一个单词来工作。尽管它们经常弄错事实，但它们的答案显得如此自然，以至于它们的发明者凯文开始担心它们可能被用来传播虚假信息)”及第三段“People became more worried when various AI products started to create not just texts but novel images, music and human voices, which threatened the livelihoods of anyone who writes, draws or sings for a living. It led to strikes by Hollywood writers and actors and legal challenges from artists and bestselling authors. Some of the most respected scientists even warned that the technology’s unchecked progress was possibly threatening human existence.(当各种人工智能产品不仅可以创造文字，还可以创造新的图像、音乐、人声，威胁到任何以写作、绘画或唱歌为生的人的生计时，人们变得更加担心。它导致了好莱坞作家和演员的罢工，以及艺术家和畅销书作家的法律挑战。一些最受尊敬的科学家甚至警告说，这项技术的不受控制的进步可能会威胁到人类的生存)”可知，这两段主要是介绍人工智能所构成的威胁。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s easy to forget that they are not the first wave of AI products. Computer vision techniques developed by Li and other scientists have helped sort through a huge database of photos to recognize objects and individual faces and guide self-driving cars.

Then there’s the one my Colombian family does every year: the Novena de Aguinaldos. We pray (祈祷) for nine days without a stop, and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas. Most Americans have never heard of it, but in Colombia, it’s a big deal. Like all good traditions, especially around the holidays, this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family. My family immigrated (移民) from Colombia when I was just two months old. Every year, we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can. There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That’s where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can — whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos — Spanish Christmas carols (颂歌) come. I’ve lived my whole life in the US. There’s not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto. Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas, then? When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere — not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did. Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we’d stayed in Colombia, the Novenas became the heart of our community. But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable. It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries. 4. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The process of celebrating the Novena. B. The development of a Colombian tradition. C. The background of the Colombian family. D. The differences between the Novena and Christmas. 5. Why does the Colombian family celebrate the Novena? A. To remember their dead friends. B. To find a sense of belonging. C. To show their respect for Americans. D. To understand the local culture. 6. What makes celebrating the Novena difficult for the Colombian family? A. Lack of money. B. Their separate busy life. C. American laws. D. Friends’ complaints. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. Growing Up B. Colorful Culture C. Exploring American Christmas Traditions D. Colombian Family’s Novena in the US 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要叙述了作者一家很早从哥伦比亚移民到美国，他们在美国人庆祝圣诞节前经常庆祝他们自己的节日，以此来找回归属感。但是由于后来家人都各自忙着自己的事，庆祝九日敬礼节也变得困难起来。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That’s where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can—whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos——Spanish Christmas carols（颂歌）come.”（九日敬礼有三个部分。首先是阅读: 每个孩子轮流读一本书。接下来是戈佐斯，意思是“快乐”。这就是音乐发挥作用的地方，每个人都能得到一件乐器，一个沙球，一个鼓，一个罐子——任何你能用来发出声音的东西。然后，是维兰西科人——西班牙圣诞颂歌。）可知，第四段主要讲了庆祝九日敬礼节的过程。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere—not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did.”（ 前几天我问我的父母，答案是移民不属于任何地方——不属于你在哪里，也不属于你从哪里来。所以我父母帮我们创造了一个空间。）可知，哥伦比亚家族庆祝九日敬礼节是为找到归属感。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries.”（ 每年大家聚在一起越来越难了。去年，我在意大利留学，无法参加任何聚会; 我哥哥去上大学，考试一直持续到12月底；我姐姐刚搬到一个新城市，我父母在不同的国家找到了工作。）可知，他们各自忙碌的生活使得哥伦比亚家庭庆祝九日敬礼节变得困难。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了作者一家很早从哥伦比亚移民到美国，他们在美国人庆祝圣诞节前经常庆祝他们自己的节日，以此来找回归属感。但是由于后来家人都各自忙着自己的事，庆祝九日敬礼也变得困难起来。所以短文的最佳标题为“生活在美国的哥伦比亚家族的九日敬礼节”。故选D项。 （十） （23-24高一下·四川内江市第二中学·期中） “Is there anything you want from Grandma’s flat?” My uncle, texting me, last week. His mum had passed away. He’d begun the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings. I required zero thinking time. Yes, I would like her aloe vera (芦荟) plant, please. Here’s why. Sometime around 1975, Grandma received this plant as a gift. It came courtesy (礼仪) of the local butcher in recognition of her loyal custom. It could, I suppose, just as likely have been a calendar, or a fountain pen, or a box of biscuits. But it just happened to be a pot plant, which Grandma, who always had green fingers, appreciated and placed in her doorway. Five years later, my mum married the butcher’s son. And had me. When my father’s mother died in 1993, Grandma revealed to me how this particular plant was different to the dozens of others she had in her home. This one had history. It was, she suggested, a living, blooming representation of the relationship that existed between the two sides of my family. As, indeed, was I. Aloe vera is reasonably hardy, but, as I’ve learned, if you put it above a radiator, it dies. If you under-water it, it dies. If you over-water it, it dies. In short, with my awful agricultural skills, I’m better off with a plastic one. So, straight after I asked my uncle for this treasure, I put in place an insurance policy: the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law. Ann, is a genius with a greenhouse. The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to care for its cuttings properly. Meantime, Ann will spread cuttings and clippings among her own family. My wife’s two sisters, for example, are both far better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite conceivable that they, too, will spread cuttings of the plant around their partners’ families; that this humble plant might yet spread across my entire extended family. What an amazing outcome! 24．Why did the butcher give my Grandma the aloe vera plant? A．To contribute to the marriage .B．To observe a specific custom. C．To show the butcher’s loyalty .D．To appreciate her regular visits. 25．Which of the following can best describe grandma? A．She is a garden enthusiast. B．She is loyal to her friends. C．She is a local shop keeper. D．She is ready to help others. 26．What can we learn about the author according to paragraph 5? A．He is skilled at agricultural planting. B．He has a preference for plastic plants C．He is confident in feeding the plant himself. D．He is anxious to keep the plant alive. 27．What is the best title of the passage? A．An amazing outcome B．A family tree C．A family history D．Green fingers 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．D 27．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了奶奶去世后，作者选择继续种奶奶留下的芦荟，因为它代表家人关系的延续和繁盛，后来作者努力把这种可爱的植物传播到整个大家庭。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sometime around 1975, Grandma received this plant as a gift. It came courtesy (礼仪) of the local butcher in recognition of her loyal custom.(大约在1975年的某个时候，奶奶收到了这株植物作为礼物。这是当地屠夫的礼仪，以表彰她忠诚的光顾)”可知，屠夫给作者奶奶芦荟是为了感谢她常常光顾。故选D。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But it just happened to be a pot plant, which Grandma, who always had green fingers, appreciated and placed in her doorway. (但它恰好是一株盆栽植物，总是会园艺的奶奶很感激，把它放在了门口)”推知，作者的奶奶热爱园艺。故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据第五段中“In short, with my awful agricultural skills, I’m better off with a plastic one. So, straight after I asked my uncle for this treasure, I put in place an insurance policy: the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law.(简而言之，以我笨拙的技术，我还不如买个塑料的。所以，在我向叔叔要了这个宝藏之后，我就制定了一个保险政策：这棵植物将和我的Ann母安在一起)”推知，作者非常希望这株芦荟能活下去。故选D。 27．主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第三段中“When my father’s mother died in 1993, Grandma revealed to me how this particular plant was different to the dozens of others she had in her home. This one had history. It was, she suggested, a living, blooming representation of the relationship that existed between the two sides of my family.(1993年，我的奶奶去世了，姥姥向我透露了这种特殊的植物与她家里其他几十种植物的不同之处。这是有历史的。她说，这是我家庭双方关系流淌不息，繁盛的代表)”可知，文章主要记叙了奶奶去世后，作者选择继续种奶奶留下的芦荟，因为它代表家人关系的延续和繁盛，后来作者努力把这种可爱的植物传播到整个大家庭。C项“A family history”可作为本文的标题。故选C。 （十一） （23-24高一下·四川乐山市第一中学·期中） Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains, I was a homebody. I had friends to hang out with, several hobbies, and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere. I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one’s own eyes. The situation changed one day when Adam, my best friend, came to my room. He succeeded in persuading me to join him on his trip to the Rocky Mountains. This was my first time in the mountains, so I was turning my head in all directions. Unluckily, the weather was foggy most of the time, and the higher we climbed the mountains, the less we could see. But I still enjoyed the hike. I walked fast, and because of that I ran out of energy long before we got to the top. Adam knew how to save energy. When we finally got to the top, nothing had really changed. The same fog was covering everything. I felt disappointed, as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back. Then the wind suddenly cleared the clouds and the sun came out. It wasn’t until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked. And for some moments I couldn’t believe my eyes. This experience inspired me to break through my limitations and accept new challenges. I realized that I wouldn’t be able to live a life without visiting the mountains at least twice a year. 4. What a person did the author use to be before his first hike to the Rocky Mountains? A. One enjoyed hiking in the mountains. B. One felt comfortable in his hometown. C. One liked persuading others.

I remember standing at the front yard, looking at the sky for a moving star that could be Sputnik passing over the city of Baltimore. We never did see Sputnik, but never mind. From that day onward, I focused on space. I grew up during the days when the first astronauts went into orbit, left their spaceship and took their first walks in space. I watched Apollo 11 land and Neil Armstrong become the first human to walk on the moon. I watched the landing on TV, with 250 other kids at a space camp named Camp Comet. As I got older, I knew that I wanted to become a space reporter and a space author. Writing about space has allowed me to be present for the final launch of the space shuttle in 2011. It’s allowed me to watch the launch of a Soyuz rocket-taking NASA astronaut Scott Kelly to the International Space Station for his year in space. It’s allowed me to go to NASA’s Mission Control in Houston, Texas. It’s allowed me to see the Cassini spaceship, in Pasadena, California. To my joy, I’ve written several books about space, including Apollo 13. That book became the basic story for the 1995 movie about the three astronauts’ exploring the moon in 1970. When I was a boy, I followed it closely, worrying about whether the astronauts would make it home. Their leader, Jim Lovell, was one of my childhood heroes. I had his picture on the wall of my bedroom. It was a great honor for me to work with him on the book when I grew up. 24. What made the author begin to pay attention to space? A. Trying to watch Sputnik. B. Attending Camp Comet. C. Hoping to walk in space. D. Seeing Apollo 11 on TV. 25. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3? A. His space dreams. B. His space exploration. C. His astronaut career. D. His work as a reporter. 26. What do we know about Jim Lovell? A. He influenced the author greatly. B. He is a famous film director. C. He is a character of Apollo 13. D. He wrote the book Apollo 8. 27. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. It’s never too young to learn. B. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Interest is the best teacher. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27.

I had his picture on the wall of my bedroom. It was a great honor for me to work with him on the book when I grew up.(他们的领袖吉姆·洛弗尔是我童年时代的英雄之一。我卧室的墙上挂着他的照片。长大后能和他一起写这本书是我莫大的荣幸)”可推知，吉姆·洛弗尔对作者影响很大。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“From that day onward, I focused on space(从那天起，我开始关注太空)”、第三段中“As I got older, I knew that I wanted to become a space reporter and a space author.(随着年龄的增长，我知道我想成为一名太空记者和太空作家)”和最后一段中“When I was a boy, I followed it closely, worrying about whether the astronauts would make it home.(当我还是个孩子的时候，我密切关注着它，担心宇航员是否能成功回家)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者对太空的好奇和探索欲望以至于后来工作成为了一名太空记者的故事。由此推知，我们能从作者的故事中学到兴趣是最好的老师。故选D项。 （十三） （23-24高一下·四川达州市万源市·期中） It was 1984, and I heard that our typewriters were soon going to be replaced with computers. I had been happily typing on typewriters for many years. But computers? I knew nothing about computers. Perhaps it was time to learn. The college calendar had arrived in my mailbox a few days earlier and after quickly going through it, I found just what I was looking for. BASIC Computer course — the words jumped off the page at me. The first night I found the classroom. I expected to see a room full of computers, but there were only long tables and chairs. The instructor began the class with the usual introductions. I kept looking around, wondering where the computers were. I hardly listened to anything the instructor was saying. The second session (节) was held in the same classroom. Still no computers. Again, my thoughts wandered (走神) and I listened half-heartedly to the instructor saying many strange words: “Binary code, greater than, less than, equal to.” What was this? I had not paid good money for this. In the third session, I finally realized I hadn’t signed up to learn basic computer skills. I had signed up for a BASIC Computer Programming course. BASIC is one type of computer language. I was not interested in programming; so the next year I signed up for a beginner’s session to learn basic computer skills. When computers finally arrived at my workplace, I adapted quickly. Nowadays I find that I am once again falling behind. I don’t have a smartphone, and I seldom visit any social media sites. Still, I consider myself somewhat skilled at using computers. While I can use the Internet and do various tasks, I avoid being always bombarded (轰炸) with information and refuse to allow the fast electronic world to take over my life. I liken it to a big pot of soup. When it’s done, give me a bowl of soup, not the whole pot. Just give me the basics. 24. Why did the author sign up for a computer course? A. She wanted to experience campus life again. B. She was at risk of being unable to do her job. C. Her best friend invited her to do so. D Her boss asked her to do so. 25. How did the author feel during the first and second sessions? A. Lonely and sad. B. Excited and satisfied. C. Confused and absent-minded. D. Confident and well-prepared. 26. What did the author really want to learn? A. Basic computer skills. B. Computer repair skills. C. The history of the computer. D. Computer programming languages. 27. What do we know about the author from the last paragraph? A. She has been improving her computer skills. B. She has a great ability to process information. C. She knows quite a lot about today’s social media sites. D. She can focus on what matters to her in the fast electronic world. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是作者学习电脑基本技能的经历以及在电子信息轰炸时代专注于自己重要的事情的执着。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It was 1984, and I heard that our typewriters were soon going to be replaced with computers. I had been happily typing on typewriters for many years. But computers? I knew nothing about computers. Perhaps it was time to learn. (那是1984年，我听说我们的打字机很快就要被电脑取代了。多年来，我一直愉快地在打字机上打字。但是电脑呢？我对电脑一无所知。也许是时候学习了)”可知，一直以来作者习惯了在打印机上打印东西，所以当听说打印机要被电脑所取代时她感觉自己有不能胜任工作的危险，所以作者报名参加了电脑培训课。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I expected to see a room full of computers, but there were only long tables and chairs.

I liken it to a big pot of soup. When it’s done, give me a bowl of soup, not the whole pot. Just give me the basics.(虽然我可以使用互联网并做各种任务，但我避免总是被信息轰炸，拒绝让快速的电子世界接管我的生活。我把它比作一大锅汤。煮好后，给我一碗汤，不要整个锅，只给我最基本的)”可知，在互联网时代，作者拒绝让电子产品接管自己的生活，只要最基本的，所以可以推测在这个快速发展的电子世界里，她可以专注于对她重要的事情。故选D项。 （十四） （23-24高一下·四川雅安市四校联考·期中） Monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) are edging dangerously close to extinction despite a decision late last year to remove the orange-and-black insects from the endangered species list, a new study has found. An annual survey led by the World Wildlife Fund(WWF)of the species wintering in central Mexico found the second-lowest number of monarch butterflies on record, meaning they took up just 2.2 acres of regional forests, 59% less than during the 2022 — 2023 winter season. The findings are troubling to scientists determined to protect the species. Each year, monarch butterflies migrate (迁徙) thousands of miles from southern Canada and the northern and central US to the mountain forests of central Mexico. They require a large and healthy forest to protect them from winds, rain and low temperatures in the areas where they migrate for winter. Yet because of heat and drought brought on by climate change, scientists say, their natural habitat is quickly depleting. Scientists with the WWF considered this winter season’s findings serious and said they represented the second-smallest area taken up by monarch butterflies in Mexico since 1993. What’s worse, in recent years, their breeding areas in Canada and the US have seen a reduction in milkweed leaves where female monarch butterflies lay their eggs. “Land-use changes in the United States, combined with the widespread use of chemicals, also contributed to the loss of milkweed and other plants that adult monarch butterflies feed on,” the WWF said. Monarch butterflies play an important role in maintaining plant ecosystems and are also an important food source for birds, small animals and other insects, according to the National Park Service. It’s necessary that all governments, communities, scientists, and others continue to strengthen our protection efforts to support their unique migration. 28. Why do monarch butterflies fly to central Mexico each year? A. To spend winter. B. To lay eggs. C. To search for shelter. D. To escape from enemies. 29. What does the underlined word “depleting” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Shifting. B. Disappearing. C. Recovering. D. Increasing. 30. What may have nothing to do with the reduction in monarch butterflies’ number? A. The loss of food sources. B. The widespread use of chemicals. C. The land-use changes in the United States. D. The threat of being eaten by other animals. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To raise people’s awareness about climate change. B. To call for more measures to protect monarch butterflies. C. To inform people of the serious situation of monarch butterflies. D. To prove monarch butterflies should be on the endangered species list. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了帝王蝶在墨西哥森林中的数量下降到了历史第二低的记录，并介绍了这一现象引起的担忧和研究结果，号召人们采取更多措施保护帝王蝶。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Each year, monarch butterflies migrate(迁徙)thousands of miles from southern Canada and the northern and central US to the mountain forests of central Mexico. They require a large and healthy forest to protect them from winds, rain and low temperatures in the areas where they migrate for winter. (每年，帝王蝶从加拿大南部和美国北部和中部迁徙数千英里到墨西哥中部的山区森林。它们需要大片健康的森林来保护它们免受冬季迁徙地区的风、雨和低温的影响。)”可知，帝王蝶每年都会飞到墨西哥中部是为了过冬。故选A。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。Yet表示转折，根据上文的“Each year, monarch butterflies migrate(迁徙)thousands of miles from southern Canada and the northern and central US to the mountain forests of central Mexico. They require a large and healthy forest to protect them from winds, rain and low temperatures in the areas where they migrate for winter. (每年，帝王蝶从加拿大南部和美国北部和中部迁徙数千英里到墨西哥中部的山区森林。它们需要大片健康的森林来保护它们免受冬季迁徙地区的风、雨和低温的影响。)”可知，帝王蝶需要森林的保护来过冬，结合划线句“Yet because of heat and drought brought on by climate change, scientists say, their natural habitat is quickly depleting. (然而，由于气候变化带来的炎热和干旱，科学家们说，它们的自然栖息地正在迅速depleting。)”可推断，自然栖息地因为炎热和干旱正在迅速消失，故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What’s worse, in recent years, their breeding areas in Canada and the US have seen a reduction in milkweed leaves where female monarch butterflies lay their eggs. “Land-use changes in the United States, combined with the widespread use of chemicals, also contributed to the loss of milkweed and other plants that adult monarch butterflies feed on,” the WWF said. (更糟糕的是，近年来，它们在加拿大和美国的繁殖区，雌性帝王蝶产卵的马利筋叶子减少了。世界自然基金会说：“美国土地利用的变化，加上化学品的广泛使用，也导致了乳草和其他成年帝王蝶赖以为生的植物的减少。”)”可知，被动物吃掉的威胁不是帝王蝶数量下降的原因。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Monarch butterflies play an important role in maintaining plant ecosystems and are also an important food source for birds, small animals and other insects, according to the National Park Service. It’s necessary that all governments, communities, scientists, and others continue to strengthen our protection efforts to support their unique migration. ( 据美国国家公园管理局称，黑帝王蝶在维持植物生态系统方面发挥着重要作用，也是鸟类、小动物和其他昆虫的重要食物来源。所有政府、社区、科学家和其他人都有必要继续加强我们的保护工作，以支持他们独特的迁移。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是号召人们采取更多措施保护帝王蝶。故选B。 （十五） （23-24高一下·四川凉山州西昌市·期中） Coined by domestic (国内的) media as “deliveryman by day, poet by night,” 55-year-old Wang Jibing brings home the bacon by working as a delivery person in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province.

(由于顾客给错了地址，他不得不多次赶时间让食物按时送到，导致其他订单延迟，以及罚款和收入减少。)”可知，订单延误的影响包括了处罚和收入减少，这暗示了外卖行业订单延误的后果很严重。故选C。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第五段中“Reflecting memories of his family and hometown, observations of society and life while working as a laborer (劳动者) and conveying simplicity, reality and sincerity, Wang’s poems capture the simple joy and sadness of common people...(他的诗反映了他对家庭和家乡的回忆，反映了他作为一名劳动者对社会和生活的观察，传达了简单，现实和真诚，捕捉了普通人的简单喜悦和悲伤……)”和“tens of thousands of ordinary people just like him (成千上万和他一样的普通人)”可知，王的诗歌传达了普通人的简单快乐与悲伤，因此可以推测这些诗歌引起了成千上万像他一样的普通人的强烈情感共鸣。所以tugging at the heartstrings意为“引起强烈的情感”。A. Arousing strong feelings唤起强烈的感情；B. Creating smooth music创造流畅的音乐；C. Pulling on ordinary people’s hearts牵动普通人的心；D. Causing tension among people引起人们之间的紧张关系。故选A。 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文&新闻报道）（原卷版） （一） （23-24高一下·四川成都市成华区·期中） （1） Soon, you’ re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood. One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ ll think about that tomorrow. 4．What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose? A．Frequent pruning and fertilizing. B．A lot of care and the right soil. C．Tomato plants grown alongside. D．Cages placed around the roots. 5．The writer planted the tomato plant because______. A．there was room for it in the garden B．the soil was just right for it C．it cost only $1. 25 D．the roses’ branches needed to be covered 6．This year the writer’s roses were_______. A．removed from the rose bed B．largely hidden under the tomato plant C．mostly damaged by too much sunlight D．picked along with the tomatoes 7．By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to_________. A．express her liking for the roses B．show the hardship of growing the roses C．show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes D．express her care for the tomatoes （2） For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript（手稿）consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand. The author's intention remains as mysterious（神秘）as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says. Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus. The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map. Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving. Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering（修补）, as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light. If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. 12．How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript? A．Confused about the technical terms. B．Impressed with its detailed instructions. C．Discouraged by its complex structure. D．Shocked for her own lack of hand skills. 13．According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________. A．restore old workshops B．understand the craftsmen C．improve visual effects D．inspire the philosophers 14．Why does the author mention museums? A．To reveal the beauty of ancient objects. B．To present the findings of old science. C．To highlight the importance of antiques. D．To emphasise the values of hand skills. 15．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists B．Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories C．Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists D．Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science （二） （23-24高一下·四川成都市树德中学·期中） I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴),” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed. Since I first touched the viola, I haven’t been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day. Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger. Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had “ viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life. 24. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs? A. To introduce an interesting musical class. B. To offer the evidence of her gift for music. C. To show the importance of proper guide. D. To tell the power of support from parents. 25. According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author? A. By developing social skills. B. By improving mental health. C. By broadening life experience. D. By building close relationship. 26. What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph? A. Easily tricked. B. Firmly loved. C. Greatly challenged. D. Secretly hidden. 27. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Special event, sweet memory. B. Classical music, endless friendship C. Lifetime dream, great effort. D. Happy childhood, unforgotten experience. （三） （23-24高一下·四川成都市东部新区·期中） After completing my first year of studies, I spent two months travelling in Nepal. There were so many sights to see, foods to eat, and fun activities to try. I only experienced a few of them, but it was an incredible experience all the same. The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people. They are kind and friendly, ready to help someone in need. This may be a cliché (陈词滥调) that you hear from most travellers regarding the country they travelled to, but I’m saying so because of what I saw among the citizens themselves, rather than how they treated me as a visitor. Little things about how the local people interact with each other makes me believe that the Nepalese people are truly wonderful. It shows in the way that the bus drivers and passengers keep the bus waiting for the last passenger, or the motorist smiles and waves to a kid who runs into the street after his ball. The people are like a bowl of hot soup on a rainy day – always warm and comforting. Conversations were as natural as if we had known each other for years. All the people I met during my trip made me feel at home and made my journey an unforgettable one. The Sauraha village was my first destination. It is an amazingly quiet and peaceful place, where the people lead their lives at their own pace. Although the temperature was high during the day, it was a great area to see some of the wildlife, such as the one-horned rhino (独角犀牛) and elephants. I also got to attend some cultural shows and experience some of the traditional dances of the Nepalese people. Of all the places I went to within Nepal, Pokhara was undoubtedly the best place I visited. The environment is great there, and there are a lot of fun things to try out. I chose to go boating on a lake, but you can also go diving. Some of the nearby hills provide a great view of the sunrise early in the morning. Nepal is beautiful in so many ways. Whether you are looking to relax in the wildness and quietness of nature, or go on an exciting adventure, Nepal offers a variety of options. It will surely impress you. 12. What does the author think of the Nepalese people? A. They treat visitors and local people differently. B. They show kindness and warmth even in little things. C. They often provide others with a bowl of hot soup on rainy days. D. It’s easy to talk to them if you have known them for a long time. 13. What does “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The temperature. B. The Sauraha people. C. The Sauraha village. D. The wildlife. 14. What does the author like about Pokhara? A. The peaceful lifestyle of the villagers. B. Experiencing a traditional Nepalese dance. C. Wild animals such as the one-horned rhino. D. Seeing the sunrise from the top of a hill. 15. What would be the best title for this passage? A. How to Interact with the Nepalese People. B. The Natural Environment of Nepal. C. Useful Tips for Travelling to Nepal. D. Nepal: An Impressive and Attractive Country. （四） （23-24高一下·四川成都市简阳市·期中） I had never even considered being a stay-at-home dad. I worked as a broadcaster for 20 years, and to an extent, I felt defined by my job. I was also never close to my own father. After my parents divorced, my dad and I stopped speaking when I was 15, and we would never speak to each other again. I found out he died almost by chance. Yet here I was, with no real road map on how to be a father. My wife and I read all the books and talked to friends with kids. Then our son Finn arrived and from the moment we saw him, we both finally knew what love was. With parental leave finishing, we went back to work. We tried daycare. Our son was always sick and we felt sick inside from being apart from him. We decided that one of us would have to stay at home with him. So I quit working. I am grateful every day that I did. Staying at home with my son changed me. It takes patience to be with a child all day, and I found I had more of it than I thought. His excitement at each new discovery was infectious. Inspired by his openness and creativity, I found myself having adventures and building Lego spaceships together with him. My son has made me a better person, and I came to realize that being a parent was also going to make me better at my job. Even though I once never thought I’d be a stay-at-home dad, now I know I was born to do it. Being a father is the great honor of my life. Finn and I are deeply close, and I feel sad for fathers like my own, who never get to know this kind of intimacy. I had to leave work to build this relationship, and it was worth it. The experience of staying home has increased my value as an employee and a person. 4. Why did the author know little about being a father? A. He didn’t have a model to follow. B.

With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market. Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that occupied little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could show their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless outfit (全套服装) and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman. “My own idea of Barbie” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.” There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was wonderful,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig (假发) on top of its head and tell the doll that it’s time to be beautiful again.” Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism (应对机制) during an extremely unhappy time for little families. 24. Why did Handler create Barbie? A. To make a hit in the women’s retail market. B. To appeal to boys with her various clothing. C. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish. D. To do a research on women’s career choices. 25. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie? A. Interested yet proud. B. Sad yet comforted. C. Delighted and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful. 26. What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family? A. A reliable emotional support. B. A glue for broken relationships. C. An effective practical treatment. D. A secret medium of argument. 27. Which newspaper section is the text probably taken from? A. Medicine. B. Sports. C. Story. D. Environment. （六） （23-24高一下·四川绵阳市江油市·期中） （1） Three very strong women — my mother, my grandmother and Melinda — deserve big credit for helping me become the man I am today. But Blanche Caffiere, a very kind teacher and librarian I’ve never written about before, also had a huge influence on me. Mrs. Caffiere died in 2006, shortly after reaching her 100th birthday. Before she passed away, I had an opportunity to visit her and thank her for the important role she played in my life. When I first met Mrs. Caffiere, she was the elegant and engaging school librarian at Seattle’s View Ridge Elementary, and I was a fourth grader. I was desperately trying to go unnoticed, because I had some big weaknesses, like dysgraphia (书写障碍), and had a totally messy desk with books around. And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read — something that was cool for girls but not for boys. Mrs. Caffiere took me under her wings and helped make it okay for me to be a messy, nerdy boy who was reading lots of books. She pulled me out of my shell. She started by asking questions like, “What do you like to read?” and “What are you interested in?” Then she found me a lot of books. For example, she gave me great biographies she had read. Once I’d read them, she would make the time to discuss them with me. “Did you like the book? Why? What did you learn?” She listened to what I had to say patiently. Through those book conversations in the library and in the classroom we became good friends. Teachers generally don’t want to burden their students with extra reading beyond the homework they’ve given. But I learned from Mrs. Caffiere that my teachers had so much knowledge to share. Looking back on it, there’s no question that my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped spark my interest in libraries and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit of great teachers. I should give great thanks to the devoted teacher and librarian who helped me find my strengths when I was nine years old. It’s remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child. 4．Which of the following best describes the writer when he was in his fourth grade?

B．She helped the writer to overcome his weaknesses. C．She turned the writer into a book lover. D．She encouraged the writer not to hide his love of reading. 6．What do we know about Mrs. Caffiere? A．She had the greatest influence on the writer. B．She influenced the writer’s decision on helping American children. C．She used to give the writer too much homework to help him learn. D．She hadn’t seen the writer since he left the school. 7．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Teacher Who Changed My Life. B．The Story of a Kind Teacher.

D．Every Student Deserves to Be Encouraged. （2） According to a new report in Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, the number of online posts related to the circulation(流通) of used goods in 2022 increased by 814 percent year on year. Instead of buying useless things, people are changing towards using secondhand goods and replacing underused or unused objects. This trend is picking up in the country. Since the summer of 2022, a 26-year-old Shanghai citizen named Chen Jiaorong has been walking along Julu Road in Shanghai’s downtown area once or twice a week, looking around and picking up “garbage” (垃圾). After her action was noticed online, she was described by others as a “stooper”. The word “stoop” means to bend forward, but in the United States, it also refers to a platform or entrance stairway to a house. The term “stooper” was created in the US after a lot of people put their used or underused belongings in front of their doorsteps to be taken away for free by those in need. Later, “stooping” was used to mean “picking up abandoned goods and recycling them”. As the first “stooper” in China, Chen had her own way. She picked unused goods to help find suitable new owners for some items. When she found such abandoned (被抛弃的) goods, she put a pair of eyeball-shaped stickers on them before publishing notes on her social media accounts, and guiding others to pick them up from the streets. “‘Stooping’ is a new word in China, and some people even have no idea of it. Most of us still think secondhand goods are dirty and it is embarrassing to reuse them,” said Wu Kaisi, a well-known stooper in Guangzhou. “The slowing economy and the increasing cost of living have pushed the development of the used-goods industry. People are gradually advocating (提倡) a savings-based consumption (消费) and environment-friendly lifestyle instead of blindly seeking for expensive consumption. Now, more young people are joining us.” 8．What does the report in paragraph 1 show? A．Selling used items is popular among young people. B．Reusing secondhand goods has become a new trend. C．People tend to buy products from social media platform. D．The buying power of Chinese consumers is in decline. 9．What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A．To explain a fact. B．To make a prediction. C．To make some concepts clear. D．To present an example. 10．How did Chen find owners for the abandoned goods? A．By organizing offline sales. B．By displaying them on Julu Road. C．By putting up notices on the street. D．By posting related information online. 11．What does Wu Kaisi think of the lifestyle of stooping? A．It is embarrassing. B．It is worth advocating. C．It slows down the development of economy. D．It changes young people’s wasteful lifestyle （七） （23-24高一下·四川德阳市外国语学校·期中） It’s not unusual for kids to change friends, change schools, or change the way they dress as they’re growing up. But what about changing into a giant (巨大的) red panda? That’s the life of a 13-year-old girl named Mei Lee, the perfectly imperfect main character of Disney and Pixar’s new film, Turning Red. Turning Red tells a coming-of-age story like no other. Mel is a Chinese Canadian girl who turns into a giant red panda anytime she experiences strong emotions, and must find a way to manage both her school life and home life in early 2000s Toronto, Canada. Mel tries to deal with hanging out with her three best friends, the boy band they like and her protective mother, who isn’t ready to let go of her growing daughter. “Turning Red is inspired by the difficulties of growing up and trying to find out how to honor your parents, but also stay true to yourself,” said director Domee Shi. “For Mei Lee in the movie, before becoming the red panda, she thinks she has it all figured out, like we all did before we woke up one day and realized all of a sudden, we’re covered in body hair, our feelings are all over the place, and we’re hungry all the time. Turning Red describes the complexities (难题) of mother-daughter relationships well. In fact, the real-life experiences of the film’s crew (摄制组成员) inspired several scenes. To make her crew share more about their childhood, Shi created a video at the office with her team. She encouraged everyone to look back to the past and bring out their embarrassing teen pictures and memories. It worked! “The crew started bringing in their old middle school yearbooks,” said producer Lindsey Collins. “They shared stories of their funny moments in middle school. Also, those of us who are parents shared our bad parenting moments. It’s meaningful. As a team, we just really tried to be real with one another about our daily failures and our daily successes.” It seems that however old you are, there is a little bit of Mei in all of us. 4．When will the girl turn into a giant red panda? A．When she was 13 years old. B．Anytime she has strong feelings. C．When she stays with friends. D．When she can manage her school life. 5．What is the main topic of the film? A．Teenagers’ problems of growing up. B．Dealing with home life wisely. C．Getting along with best friends. D．Ways to control emotions. 6．How did the director get inspiration about describing mother-daughter relationship? A．She interviewed some middle school students. B．She analyzed some typical pictures of her parents. C．She thought hard and figured out the idea by herself. D．She asked the film’s crew to share their experiences. 7．What is Lindsey Collins’s attitude towards sharing more about childhood? A．Uncaring. B．Doubtful. C．Negative. D．Supportive. （八） （23-24高一下·四川泸州市龙马潭区·期中） （1） When we drove through a twenty-foot-tall fence and entered the Okonjima Camp in central Namibia, the first question on our minds was whether the fence was being used to keep animals in or out. Our guide was quick to say, “Out.” The Okonjima Camp works with the AfriCat Foundation that accepts injured big cats. So there was no shortage of cats, and on that first night, we heard growls (咆哮) from our houses. How close we were! I hope nobody left the gate open. The next day of our Africa trip started with a journey outside the fences and protected zone to track a mother leopard (花豹) and her baby the guide had seen the previous day, and we were happy to find them very quickly. The mother leopard was aware of our presence but was relaxed since our car was a healthy distance away, and we sat for 45 minutes watching the sweet interactions between mother and baby. Later in the day, the guide said we would go on a hike. Everything we were told before about staying in the vehicle and not leaving the fenced arca of the camp was put aside. We were going to find cheetahs (猎豹). It is safer to approach cheetahs, keeping a safe distance, and our guide got out earphones to listen on the leopards’ radio collar (颈圈) frequency to see if any were in the area. No leopards, no problems. Let’s go look for cheetahs, and we did find them. Well, I didn’t. Our guide’s tracking skills were phenomenal. He quickly found them somehow lying in the shade of some tall grass. After some time, they stood up on their long legs. No cheetah-fast speed, but a silent walk into the bushes (灌木丛). 24. How did the author feel on the first night in the camp? A. Excited. B. Sleepy. C. Nervous. D. Curious. 25. What was the author’s purpose of going on a hike? A. To find a proper place to build a new camp. B. To test his new radio technology. C. To track a mother leopard D. To observe cheetahs. 26. What does the underlined word “phenomenal” mean in the last paragraph? d A. impressive. B. limited. C. important. D. different. 27. What is the text mainly about? A Tourism in Namibia. B. An adventure with big cats in Namibia. C. The importance of wildlife protection. D. A conflict between humans and big cats. （2） The first wave of concerns over artificial intelligence(AI)in 2023 appeared soon after New Year’s Day when classrooms reopened and schools from Seattle to Paris started blocking ChatGPT, a powerful software based on AI large language models, because teenagers were using it to do their homework. The AI large language models behind such products as ChatGPT work by repeatedly guessing the next word in a sentence after having “learned” the rules from a huge amount of/human-written works. Although they often get facts wrong, their answers appear so natural that Keven, their inventors begin to worry about their possible use for spreading false information. People became more worried when various AI products started to create not just texts but novel images, music and human voices, which threatened the livelihoods of anyone who writes, draws or sings for a living. It led to strikes by Hollywood writers and actors and legal challenges from artists and bestselling authors. Some of the most respected scientists even warned that the technology’s unchecked progress was possibly threatening human existence. “In the longer term, they might manage our attention,” pioneering AI scientist Fei Fei Lisaid. “They would tell us which video to watch, which book to read or whose communication to respond as AI technology’s abilities improve rapidly. They could be a very good assistant, but also with really big risks.” Li hoped that 2023 is going to be a year for people to think about what Al is, how to use it and what the effects are — all the good, the bad and the ugly. “It’s easy to forget that they are not the first wave of AI products. Computer vision techniques developed by Li and other scientists have helped sort through a huge database of photos to recognize objects and individual faces and guide self-driving cars. Speech recognition advances have made voice assistants like Siri and Alexa a normal thing in many people’s lives,” said Tom Gruber, co-founder of Siri Inc. 28. Why did schools try to stop their students from using ChatGPT? A. ChatGPT often got facts wrong in the class. B. Students spent too much time on the software. C. ChatGPT helped students spread false information. D. Students used the software to cheat at their homework. 29. What are the second and third paragraphs mainly about? A. AI’s training costs. B.

Then there’s the one my Colombian family does every year: the Novena de Aguinaldos. We pray (祈祷) for nine days without a stop, and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas. Most Americans have never heard of it, but in Colombia, it’s a big deal. Like all good traditions, especially around the holidays, this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family. My family immigrated (移民) from Colombia when I was just two months old. Every year, we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can. There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That’s where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can — whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos — Spanish Christmas carols (颂歌) come. I’ve lived my whole life in the US. There’s not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto. Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas, then? When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere — not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did. Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we’d stayed in Colombia, the Novenas became the heart of our community. But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable. It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries. 4.

He’d begun the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings. I required zero thinking time. Yes, I would like her aloe vera (芦荟) plant, please. Here’s why. Sometime around 1975, Grandma received this plant as a gift. It came courtesy (礼仪) of the local butcher in recognition of her loyal custom. It could, I suppose, just as likely have been a calendar, or a fountain pen, or a box of biscuits. But it just happened to be a pot plant, which Grandma, who always had green fingers, appreciated and placed in her doorway. Five years later, my mum married the butcher’s son. And had me. When my father’s mother died in 1993, Grandma revealed to me how this particular plant was different to the dozens of others she had in her home. This one had history. It was, she suggested, a living, blooming representation of the relationship that existed between the two sides of my family. As, indeed, was I. Aloe vera is reasonably hardy, but, as I’ve learned, if you put it above a radiator, it dies. If you under-water it, it dies. If you over-water it, it dies. In short, with my awful agricultural skills, I’m better off with a plastic one. So, straight after I asked my uncle for this treasure, I put in place an insurance policy: the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law. Ann, is a genius with a greenhouse. The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to care for its cuttings properly. Meantime, Ann will spread cuttings and clippings among her own family. My wife’s two sisters, for example, are both far better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite conceivable that they, too, will spread cuttings of the plant around their partners’ families; that this humble plant might yet spread across my entire extended family. What an amazing outcome! 24．Why did the butcher give my Grandma the aloe vera plant? A．To contribute to the marriage .B．To observe a specific custom. C．To show the butcher’s loyalty .D．To appreciate her regular visits. 25．Which of the following can best describe grandma? A．She is a garden enthusiast. B．She is loyal to her friends. C．She is a local shop keeper. D．She is ready to help others. 26．What can we learn about the author according to paragraph 5? A．He is skilled at agricultural planting. B．He has a preference for plastic plants C．He is confident in feeding the plant himself. D．He is anxious to keep the plant alive. 27．What is the best title of the passage? A．An amazing outcome B．A family tree C．A family history D．Green fingers （十一） （23-24高一下·四川乐山市第一中学·期中） Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains, I was a homebody. I had friends to hang out with, several hobbies, and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere. I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one’s own eyes. The situation changed one day when Adam, my best friend, came to my room. He succeeded in persuading me to join him on his trip to the Rocky Mountains. This was my first time in the mountains, so I was turning my head in all directions. Unluckily, the weather was foggy most of the time, and the higher we climbed the mountains, the less we could see. But I still enjoyed the hike. I walked fast, and because of that I ran out of energy long before we got to the top. Adam knew how to save energy. When we finally got to the top, nothing had really changed. The same fog was covering everything. I felt disappointed, as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back. Then the wind suddenly cleared the clouds and the sun came out. It wasn’t until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked. And for some moments I couldn’t believe my eyes. This experience inspired me to break through my limitations and accept new challenges. I realized that I wouldn’t be able to live a life without visiting the mountains at least twice a year. 4.

I remember standing at the front yard, looking at the sky for a moving star that could be Sputnik passing over the city of Baltimore. We never did see Sputnik, but never mind. From that day onward, I focused on space. I grew up during the days when the first astronauts went into orbit, left their spaceship and took their first walks in space. I watched Apollo 11 land and Neil Armstrong become the first human to walk on the moon. I watched the landing on TV, with 250 other kids at a space camp named Camp Comet. As I got older, I knew that I wanted to become a space reporter and a space author. Writing about space has allowed me to be present for the final launch of the space shuttle in 2011. It’s allowed me to watch the launch of a Soyuz rocket-taking NASA astronaut Scott Kelly to the International Space Station for his year in space. It’s allowed me to go to NASA’s Mission Control in Houston, Texas. It’s allowed me to see the Cassini spaceship, in Pasadena, California. To my joy, I’ve written several books about space, including Apollo 13. That book became the basic story for the 1995 movie about the three astronauts’ exploring the moon in 1970. When I was a boy, I followed it closely, worrying about whether the astronauts would make it home. Their leader, Jim Lovell, was one of my childhood heroes. I had his picture on the wall of my bedroom. It was a great honor for me to work with him on the book when I grew up. 24. What made the author begin to pay attention to space? A. Trying to watch Sputnik. B. Attending Camp Comet. C. Hoping to walk in space. D. Seeing Apollo 11 on TV. 25. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3? A. His space dreams. B. His space exploration. C. His astronaut career. D. His work as a reporter. 26. What do we know about Jim Lovell? A. He influenced the author greatly. B. He is a famous film director. C. He is a character of Apollo 13. D. He wrote the book Apollo 8. 27. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. It’s never too young to learn. B. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Interest is the best teacher. （十三） （23-24高一下·四川达州市万源市·期中） It was 1984, and I heard that our typewriters were soon going to be replaced with computers. I had been happily typing on typewriters for many years. But computers? I knew nothing about computers. Perhaps it was time to learn. The college calendar had arrived in my mailbox a few days earlier and after quickly going through it, I found just what I was looking for. BASIC Computer course — the words jumped off the page at me. The first night I found the classroom. I expected to see a room full of computers, but there were only long tables and chairs. The instructor began the class with the usual introductions. I kept looking around, wondering where the computers were. I hardly listened to anything the instructor was saying. The second session (节) was held in the same classroom. Still no computers. Again, my thoughts wandered (走神) and I listened half-heartedly to the instructor saying many strange words: “Binary code, greater than, less than, equal to.” What was this? I had not paid good money for this. In the third session, I finally realized I hadn’t signed up to learn basic computer skills. I had signed up for a BASIC Computer Programming course. BASIC is one type of computer language. I was not interested in programming; so the next year I signed up for a beginner’s session to learn basic computer skills. When computers finally arrived at my workplace, I adapted quickly. Nowadays I find that I am once again falling behind. I don’t have a smartphone, and I seldom visit any social media sites. Still, I consider myself somewhat skilled at using computers. While I can use the Internet and do various tasks, I avoid being always bombarded (轰炸) with information and refuse to allow the fast electronic world to take over my life. I liken it to a big pot of soup. When it’s done, give me a bowl of soup, not the whole pot. Just give me the basics. 24. Why did the author sign up for a computer course? A.

An annual survey led by the World Wildlife Fund(WWF)of the species wintering in central Mexico found the second-lowest number of monarch butterflies on record, meaning they took up just 2.2 acres of regional forests, 59% less than during the 2022 — 2023 winter season. The findings are troubling to scientists determined to protect the species. Each year, monarch butterflies migrate (迁徙) thousands of miles from southern Canada and the northern and central US to the mountain forests of central Mexico. They require a large and healthy forest to protect them from winds, rain and low temperatures in the areas where they migrate for winter. Yet because of heat and drought brought on by climate change, scientists say, their natural habitat is quickly depleting. Scientists with the WWF considered this winter season’s findings serious and said they represented the second-smallest area taken up by monarch butterflies in Mexico since 1993. What’s worse, in recent years, their breeding areas in Canada and the US have seen a reduction in milkweed leaves where female monarch butterflies lay their eggs. “Land-use changes in the United States, combined with the widespread use of chemicals, also contributed to the loss of milkweed and other plants that adult monarch butterflies feed on,” the WWF said. Monarch butterflies play an important role in maintaining plant ecosystems and are also an important food source for birds, small animals and other insects, according to the National Park Service. It’s necessary that all governments, communities, scientists, and others continue to strengthen our protection efforts to support their unique migration. 28. Why do monarch butterflies fly to central Mexico each year? A. To spend winter. B. To lay eggs. C. To search for shelter. D. To escape from enemies. 29. What does the underlined word “depleting” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Shifting. B. Disappearing. C. Recovering. D. Increasing. 30. What may have nothing to do with the reduction in monarch butterflies’ number? A. The loss of food sources. B. The widespread use of chemicals. C. The land-use changes in the United States. D. The threat of being eaten by other animals. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To raise people’s awareness about climate change. B. To call for more measures to protect monarch butterflies. C. To inform people of the serious situation of monarch butterflies. D. To prove monarch butterflies should be on the endangered species list. （十五） （23-24高一下·四川凉山州西昌市·期中） Coined by domestic (国内的) media as “deliveryman by day, poet by night,” 55-year-old Wang Jibing brings home the bacon by working as a delivery person in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province.
