第三部分 阅读理解 (共15小题;计30分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容判断句子正误。正确的涂“A”,错误的涂“B”。
You can’t do that here! Tuesday, August 8
When a government makes a law, we usually understand the reason. For example, in Greece, women can’t wear high heels at historic places because high heels may harm the ancient steps. That makes sense, but why can’t women wear high heels in the beach town of Carmel, California, in the United States? On the Isle of Capri in Italy, you can wear sandals (凉鞋) with high heels, low heels, and anything in between, but you can’t wear noisy sandals! What’s the reason for that?
Here are some other unusual laws from around the world.
●In Florida, USA, single (单身) women cannot parachute on Sundays.
● In Victoria, Australia, you can’t change a light bulb (灯泡). Only an electrician can do that.
●In Vermont, USA, women can have false teeth, but they have to get permission in writing from their husbands.
●In Moscow, Russia, you can’t drive a dirty car.
●In Singapore, you can’t sell gum.
●In France, you can’t name a pig Napoleon.

Funny! Do people have to follow these laws now?

This isn’t true. People can change their own light bulbs in Australia. They don’t have to call an electrician anymore. That’s crazy!

POSTED BY RALPH
I heard something strange about England. You have to be careful when you put a stamp with a king or queen on a letter. The stamp can’t be upside down. Is this really a law?
April 28, 12:30 A. M.

九、阅读下面两篇短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。 (共10小题,每小题2分;计20分)
A
To: pasthuman@historymail. org
From : futurehuman@timecapsule. com
Dear past humans,
I am writing to you from the future, a time beyond your imagination. I want to share with you what our world has become and how it differs from the one you live in.
Firstly, let me tell you that we have made amazing progress in many areas. Medicine has developed to the point where we have found ways to cure (治愈) almost every disease that once caused pains or troubles. We have learned to use clean, renewable energy sources (来源) and have greatly reduced our harm to the environment. We have also made big progress in AI and space exploration, allowing us to unlock the mysteries of the universe.
However, even with all this progress, our world still faces many challenges. The gap (差距) between the rich and the poor has grown wider. Some people find it hard to pay for food, medicine, and school supplies, but still try their best to make ends meet by cutting costs wherever they can. Climate (气候) change has led to many natural disasters and forced many people to leave their homes. And while our efforts in AI have shown to be a big step forward, we must be careful to make sure that it does not endanger humanity.
But perhaps the most important thing I want to share with you is that we have realized the importance of taking responsibility. We have come to understand that our actions and decisions shape the lives of others and the future of our planet. We are working together to build a more fair world where everyone has chances to get what they need. I hope that you can take these lessons to heart and fight for yourselves and the future. The choices you make today will make a difference to generations (一代人) to come. Let us work together to build a better tomorrow.
Yours sincerely,
A future human

Do you know about escape rooms (密室逃脱)? All escape rooms share something in common. You are locked in escape rooms and try to complete some tasks before you can go out. They usually have a theme. Here are some people’s experiences about escape rooms:
Ben, aged 13, London, UK
Sunday, July 28, 2024 | —Harry Potter, Wizard exams, Birthday Parties
When Joe told me his birthday party wasn’t going to be a seafood barbecue again this year, I almost turned down his invitation. But this escape room experience was so much better! Joe’s a big HarryPotter fan—he has read all the books—so he chose the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry escape room for us. The aim was to pass our exams and graduate from wizard school. We put on our black rohes (长袍) and got to work! I was sorry when it finished because I wanted to keep studying. It was so much fun!
Mei Ling, aged 14, Guangzhou, China
Sunday, July 28, 2024 | Pharaohs, Puzzle solving, Teamwork
I haven’t done anything like this before, but I love old stories. So to celebrate the end of term, we went to a pharaoh (法老)-themed escape room. Our task was to find the lost treasure of the last pharaoh. It was like travelling to another continent (大陆)—the pyramid (金字塔) was very real. We worked as a team to find clues and solve puzzles. It was satisfying to complete the task, but I think some of the puzzles were really a piece of cake because we completed all the tasks in only 49 minutes!
Cesar, aged 16, Malaga, Spain
Sunday, July 28, 2024 | Bomb Diffusion, _▲_ , Family Fun
My family loves escape rooms, so 20 of us visited one during the summer holidays. There were four teams of five and we needed to find a bomb (炸弹) before it exploded (爆炸) . It was exciting to work against the clock. One of the puzzles was hard that the game master put a clue on a TV screen to help us. Luckily, we found the bomb in time, so we went to have dinner together afterwards to celebrate our success.

The high school art teacher soon bought a new other of skates, but she thought they were nothing like the ____61____ she had as a teenager. They were ____62____ to wear.
So Forrestall decided to buy a used pair, which were popular among younger skaters, but she was ____63____ to learn how much they cost. To find a less—expensive pair, she considered searching in online secondhand shops. A few days later, she ____64____ a notice telling her that a man named James Bond was hoping to sell an old pair of skates for $40.

Two days later, she drove to Bond’s house and learned that the skates ____66____ in his basement for many years.

【65题详解】
句意:所以她毫不犹豫地立刻联系了邦德。根据“without waiting”和备选词可知,她没有等待,也就是立刻联系了对方,immediate形容词,用副词immediately修饰动词短语reached out,表示“立刻,马上”。故填immediately。
【66题详解】
句意:两天后,她开车去了邦德的家,得知这双溜冰鞋已经在他的地下室放了很多年了。根据“in his basement for many years”以及她去邦德家是过去的动作,而溜冰鞋在地下室放置是在这之前的动作且持续了很多年和备选词可知,用过去完成进行时,结构为“had been + 现在分词”,sit表示“处于 (某位置)”,这里用had been sitting。故填had been sitting。

完成图表。
根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。
Brazilian artist Vik Muniz uses everyday objects in unusual ways. Through his art, Muniz makes people think differently about their everyday lives—even their own garbage (垃圾).
In 2007, Muniz worked on a two—year project at one of the world’s largest landfills (垃圾填埋). Until it closed in 2012, Jardim Gramacho got about 70 percent of the garbage from Rio de Janeiro. About 3,000 garbage pickers, known as catadores, worked there. Their job was to hunt through the garbage for recyclable cans, bottles, and other materials. They then made money by selling the objects to recycling companies.
The catadores’ work was dirty and dangerous, and most of them only got between $20 and $25 a day. Although the conditions were hard, many catadores were proud of their work. Valter Dos Santos, a worker at Jardim Gramacho for more than 25 years, told Muniz, “I am proud to be a picker. I try to explain to people that recycling prevents great harm to nature and the environment. People sometimes say, ‘But one single (单个的) soda can?’ One single can is of great importance! That single can will make the difference.”
Muniz became friends with Dos Santos and other catadores. They allowed him to take their photographs at the landfill, where they posed for artistic portraits (肖像). For example, Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting, The Death of Marat. The workers then helped Muniz create huge images (图像) of these photos on the floor of his studio. They made the images colorful and deep with materials from the landfill.
Why create such huge images using garbage? Muniz says he wanted to “change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day.” A photo of his copy of the French painting sold for £28,000 ($50,000) at a London art sale. Muniz gave the money to the catadores workers’ organization.
In 2010, British—Brazilian director Lucy Walker created a movie about Muniz’s project called WasteLand. The film got many awards and helped make people learn about the garbage collectors’ lives. The catadores also began to see themselves differently, “Sometimes we see ourselves as so small,” says Irma, a cook at Gramacho, “but people out there see us as so big, so beautiful.”

You can’t do that here! Tuesday, August 8
When a government makes a law, we usually understand the reason. For example, in Greece, women can’t wear high heels at historic places because high heels may harm the ancient steps. That makes sense, but why can’t women wear high heels in the beach town of Carmel, California, in the United States? On the Isle of Capri in Italy, you can wear sandals (凉鞋) with high heels, low heels, and anything in between, but you can’t wear noisy sandals! What’s the reason for that?
Here are some other unusual laws from around the world.
●In Florida, USA, single (单身) women cannot parachute on Sundays.
● In Victoria, Australia, you can’t change a light bulb (灯泡). Only an electrician can do that.
●In Vermont, USA, women can have false teeth, but they have to get permission in writing from their husbands.
●In Moscow, Russia, you can’t drive a dirty car.
●In Singapore, you can’t sell gum.
●In France, you can’t name a pig Napoleon.

Funny! Do people have to follow these laws now?

This isn’t true. People can change their own light bulbs in Australia. They don’t have to call an electrician anymore. That’s crazy!

I heard something strange about England. You have to be careful when you put a stamp with a king or queen on a letter. The stamp can’t be upside down. Is this really a law?
April 28, 12:30 A. M.
31. High heels are not allowed at Greece’s ancient sites to protect old steps.
32. Single women in Florida can parachute on weekdays.
33. From the comments, we can know that people in Victoria need electricians to change light bulbs.
34. England has a law that stamps cannot be placed upside down.
35. The passage is about strange laws from around the world.

To: pasthuman@historymail. org
From : futurehuman@timecapsule. com
Dear past humans,
I am writing to you from the future, a time beyond your imagination. I want to share with you what our world has become and how it differs from the one you live in.
Firstly, let me tell you that we have made amazing progress in many areas. Medicine has developed to the point where we have found ways to cure (治愈) almost every disease that once caused pains or troubles. We have learned to use clean, renewable energy sources (来源) and have greatly reduced our harm to the environment. We have also made big progress in AI and space exploration, allowing us to unlock the mysteries of the universe.
However, even with all this progress, our world still faces many challenges. The gap (差距) between the rich and the poor has grown wider. Some people find it hard to pay for food, medicine, and school supplies, but still try their best to make ends meet by cutting costs wherever they can. Climate (气候) change has led to many natural disasters and forced many people to leave their homes. And while our efforts in AI have shown to be a big step forward, we must be careful to make sure that it does not endanger humanity.
But perhaps the most important thing I want to share with you is that we have realized the importance of taking responsibility. We have come to understand that our actions and decisions shape the lives of others and the future of our planet. We are working together to build a more fair world where everyone has chances to get what they need. I hope that you can take these lessons to heart and fight for yourselves and the future. The choices you make today will make a difference to generations (一代人) to come. Let us work together to build a better tomorrow.
Yours sincerely,
A future human

Do you know about escape rooms (密室逃脱)? All escape rooms share something in common. You are locked in escape rooms and try to complete some tasks before you can go out. They usually have a theme. Here are some people’s experiences about escape rooms:
Ben, aged 13, London, UK
Sunday, July 28, 2024 | —Harry Potter, Wizard exams, Birthday Parties
When Joe told me his birthday party wasn’t going to be a seafood barbecue again this year, I almost turned down his invitation. But this escape room experience was so much better! Joe’s a big HarryPotter fan—he has read all the books—so he chose the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry escape room for us. The aim was to pass our exams and graduate from wizard school. We put on our black rohes (长袍) and got to work! I was sorry when it finished because I wanted to keep studying. It was so much fun!
Mei Ling, aged 14, Guangzhou, China
Sunday, July 28, 2024 | Pharaohs, Puzzle solving, Teamwork
I haven’t done anything like this before, but I love old stories. So to celebrate the end of term, we went to a pharaoh (法老)-themed escape room. Our task was to find the lost treasure of the last pharaoh. It was like travelling to another continent (大陆)—the pyramid (金字塔) was very real. We worked as a team to find clues and solve puzzles. It was satisfying to complete the task, but I think some of the puzzles were really a piece of cake because we completed all the tasks in only 49 minutes!
Cesar, aged 16, Malaga, Spain
Sunday, July 28, 2024 | Bomb Diffusion, _▲_ , Family Fun
My family loves escape rooms, so 20 of us visited one during the summer holidays. There were four teams of five and we needed to find a bomb (炸弹) before it exploded (爆炸) . It was exciting to work against the clock. One of the puzzles was hard that the game master put a clue on a TV screen to help us. Luckily, we found the bomb in time, so we went to have dinner together afterwards to celebrate our success.

Brazilian artist Vik Muniz uses everyday objects in unusual ways. Through his art, Muniz makes people think differently about their everyday lives—even their own garbage (垃圾).
In 2007, Muniz worked on a two—year project at one of the world’s largest landfills (垃圾填埋). Until it closed in 2012, Jardim Gramacho got about 70 percent of the garbage from Rio de Janeiro. About 3,000 garbage pickers, known as catadores, worked there. Their job was to hunt through the garbage for recyclable cans, bottles, and other materials. They then made money by selling the objects to recycling companies.
The catadores’ work was dirty and dangerous, and most of them only got between $20 and $25 a day. Although the conditions were hard, many catadores were proud of their work. Valter Dos Santos, a worker at Jardim Gramacho for more than 25 years, told Muniz, “I am proud to be a picker. I try to explain to people that recycling prevents great harm to nature and the environment. People sometimes say, ‘But one single (单个的) soda can?’ One single can is of great importance! That single can will make the difference.”
Muniz became friends with Dos Santos and other catadores. They allowed him to take their photographs at the landfill, where they posed for artistic portraits (肖像). For example, Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting, The Death of Marat. The workers then helped Muniz create huge images (图像) of these photos on the floor of his studio. They made the images colorful and deep with materials from the landfill.
Why create such huge images using garbage? Muniz says he wanted to “change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day.” A photo of his copy of the French painting sold for £28,000 ($50,000) at a London art sale. Muniz gave the money to the catadores workers’ organization.
In 2010, British—Brazilian director Lucy Walker created a movie about Muniz’s project called WasteLand. The film got many awards and helped make people learn about the garbage collectors’ lives. The catadores also began to see themselves differently, “Sometimes we see ourselves as so small,” says Irma, a cook at Gramacho, “but people out there see us as so big, so beautiful.”
