专题02 阅读理解之记叙文+新闻报道 （一） （23-24高一下·陕西西安·期末） A local dog in Moundsville, West Virginia, has captured the admiration of the community by finding over 150 lost disc golf discs (高尔夫球盘) at a popular park. Dais g is a four - year - old Labrador Retriever who loves going on walks with her owner, Kelly Mason, at Grand Vue Park: Every day, they walk about five miles through the park. Sometimes, Daisy goes on her own adventure and returns with a souvenir. “Daisy has a nose to finding discs”. Mason told VTRF. “We will be walking through the park and her most will go up. She can smell them, and she just goes off. She could go off 30 yards through the high weeds. And here she comes with a disc.” Since she found her first disc about three years ago, Daisy has got back 155 of them with no plans of stopping anytime soon. The park recently teamed up with Mason to create a program called Daisy’s Discs. “Normally when park staff find them or when our park guests find them, all of them are put into the barn (仓库) area,” says Ben Bolock, the assistant general manager at Grand Vue Park. “Some discs that have names on them, so we call them. And people are able to come and pick them up. They can also make a donation to Daisy’s Discs and that money will fund the Marshall County Animal Rescue League. If discs are found and there’s no name on them and we’ve had them for a long period of time and nobody has claimed them, the park will sell them for a very low amount and that money will go back into the disc golf course.” 1．What do we know about Daisy from the text?

I’d dance to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Whenever he played Tritsch-Tratsch Polka, I’d grab my skipping ropes and skip to the beat. I’d request Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata when I was getting ready for bed. Listening to classical music was part of my daily routine. I eventually learned how to play the piano. After I had my own daughter, I was excited to introduce her to classical music. However, this excitement soon led to disappointment as no matter what piece I chose, she would not listen. Then one day in October, everything changed. My daughter came home and announced, “I want to dress up as a bumblebee for Halloween. Can you make me a costume, Mom?” Of course, I agreed to sew her a bumblebee costume. But at the same time, the bumblebee gave me an idea. I worked all week on the costume. On Halloween night, my daughter put the costume on and looked in the mirror. Her eyes lit up. She began making buzzing noises—and I was ready. “Can you fly like a bumblebee?” I asked. As she began to buzz around the room, I quickly started playing Flight of the Bumblebee. As the fast-paced violin music began, my daughter buzzed around to the music. She never stopped moving. When the music came to its final bars, my daughter shouted, “Play it again, Mom!” So I played it again. Since that night, classical music has become more prevalent in our household. Eventually, she learned how to play the violin and guitar. I still have that costume stored away in a special box. I hope to pass it on to my grandchildren one day and see what happens. 1．What does the author intend to show by mentioning the music works in Paragraph 1? A．The impact of classical music on her.

That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance. This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion—landscape photography. It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms—via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them. Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said. 1．What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary? A．Lack of fresh air. B．Absence of windows. C．Insufficient lighting. D．Limited access to technology. 2．Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms? A．To connect the students with nature. B．To promote his photography skills. C．To improve the teachers’ performance. D．To create an exciting environment for the students. 3．How did the students react to Rodriguez’s pictures on the classroom ceiling? A．They did not notice the change. B．They failed to concentrate on lessons. C．They preferred the original gray ceiling. D．They were in favour of the new additions. 4．What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom? A．Cautious and objective. B．Appreciative and supportive. C．Concerned but doubtful. D．Curious but unsure. （四） （23-24高一下·陕西商洛·期末） Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set. In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size. The team developed an algorithm (算法) to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day — equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction. Dr. Onur Çelik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.”Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world. One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective. 1．What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space? A．To improve communication between Earth and space. B．To bring the effects of climate change under control. C．To produce electricity for agricultural use. D．To increase the production of solar power. 2．What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms? A．The increased demand for electricity. B．The decrease in the cost of solar panels. C．The development of space technology. D．The requirement to preserve the environment. 3．What can be inferred about the future of solar farms? A．They’ll replace fossil fuels completely. B．They’ll become the main source of energy. C．They’ll be more cost-effective and efficient. D．They’ll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight. 4．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．A news report. B．A maths website. C．A marketing brochure. D．A policy brief. （五） （23-24高一下·陕西榆林·期末） Sometimes it is almost impossible not to feel hopeless and broken,” said the climate scientist Ruth Cerezo-Mota. “After all the flooding, fires and droughts of the last three years worldwide, are all related to climate change, and after the fury (袭击) of Hurricane Otis in Mexico, my country, I really thought governments were ready to listen to the science, to act in the people’s best interest.” Instead, Cerezo -Mota expects the world to heat by a catastrophic (灾难性的) 3℃ this century, soaring past the internationally agreed 1.5℃ target and delivering enormous suffering to billions of people. This is her optimistic view, she said. “The breaking point for me was a meeting in Singapore,” said Cerezo-Mota, an expert in climate modelling at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. There, she listened to other experts spell out the connection between rising global temperatures and heatwaves, fires, storms and floods hurting people -not at the end of the century, but today. “That was the time when everything clicked (恍然大悟).” “I got upset,” she said. “It was a very dark point in my life. I was unable to do anything and was just surviving.” Cerezo-Mota recovered to continue her work: “We keep doing it because we have to do it, so the powerful cannot say that they didn’t know. We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.” In Mérida on the Yucatán peninsula, where Cerezo-Mota lives, the heat keeps rising. “Last summer,  we had around 47℃ maximum. The worst part is that, even at night, it’s 38℃ , which is higher than your body temperature. It doesn’t give a minute of the day for your body to try to recover.” She said record-breaking heatwaves led to many deaths in Mexico. “It’s very frustrating because many of these things could have been avoided. And it’s just silly to think: Well, I don’t care if Mexico gets destroyed? We have seen these extreme events happening everywhere. There is not a safe place for anyone. “I think 3℃ is being hopeful and conservative (保守的). 1.5℃ is already bad, but I don’t think there is any way we are going to stick to that. There is not any clear sign from any government that we are actually going to stay under 1.5℃ .” Cerezo-Mota is far from alone in her fear. A survey of hundreds of the world’s climate experts has found that: ●77% of interviewees believe global temperatures will reach at least 2.5℃ above pre -industrial levels, a disastrous level. ● Almost half-42% —think it will be more than 3℃ . ●Only 6% think the 1.5℃ limit will be achieved. 1．The flooding, fires and droughts of the past three years worldwide is connected with __________. A．climate change B．heatwaves C．high temperature D．extreme events 2．What does the underlined word “soaring past” in Paragraph2 probably mean? A．except for B．by accident C．on the spot D．far beyond 3．What is Cerezo-Mot’s attitude towards the increase in global temperatures? A．Subjective B．Concerned C．Indifferent D．Grateful 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．What led to the increase in global temperatures? B．Why is Ruth Cerezo-Mota in despair? C．What did a survey of the world’s climate experts find? D．What caused deaths in Mexico? （六） （23-24高一下·陕西榆林·期末） When I reach Yamada Bee Farm, Vivian is already busy checking hive (蜂箱) boxes, not noticing my presence. I hear her chatting with the bees, their soft hum (嗡嗡声) filling the air between words of encouragement and negotiation (商量). Vivian was born with extreme deafness. While Vivian is able to hear with the help of hearing aids, she usually take off them when she’s working. “Sounds aren’t natural to me,” she explains. “I just love the peace and quiet. When I’m with the bees, I don’t need to hear. I can focus better when I’m not constantly disturbed.” Equipped with only her hood (头巾), hive tool, and smoker, Vivian moves at a gentle pace with the intention of not disturbing the bees. I’m overdressed, having borrowed a full protective suit for the occasion. She instructs me to take off the gloves I brought and tells me where to stand so as to avoid stressing out the bees. Vivian’s gentle, careful style makes me feel at ease around her insects. The more time we spend together, the more I come to appreciate Vivian’s passion (热情) for bees, as well as the ways that being hard of hearing have influenced her unique approach to the beekeeping. In her practice, she emphasizes natural beekeeping techniques that employ minimal chemical interventions (干扰). And she’s able to get all the information she needs to tend to the hives by relying on her other senses. Perhaps above all else, what makes Vivian an excellent beekeeper is almost philosophical. Expert at her job has everything to do with adaptation, dealing with the countless changes that appear on any given day. Is there too much rain? Too little? When will the flowers bloom? Will they produce enough honey? She responds accordingly, making sure not to disturb the bees’ rhythm and balance. “There is a spiritual side to beekeeping,” she said. “You can’t fully control them, like with anything in nature, really. Some years you get a great honey season. Some years are horrible and you lose 50 percent of your hive. There’s a lot of heartbreak but a lot of joy in it, too, just working outside with these creatures—a living superorganism (个体).” 1．What assists Vivian to hear? A．a hive box. B．hearing aids. C．a chemical material. D．other senses. 2．What is TRUE according to paragraph 3? A．Vivian moves gently in order not to disturb the bees. B．A protective suit is necessary for Vivian. C．Losing hearing brings trouble to Vivian’s work. D．The author is too frightened to follow Vivian’s instructions. 3．What matters most for Vivian to become an excellent beekeeper? A．Her knowledge on weather conditions. B．Her remarkable honey production. C．Her natural beekeeping techniques. D．Her ability of dealing with daily uncertainties. 4．What is Vivian like? A．Deaf and depressed. B．Optimistic and skilled. C．Creative and brave. D．Heartbroken but determined. （七） （23-24高一下·陕西渭南·期末） Colette Maze has been playing the piano for over a century. She practices four hours a day and her fingers never tire. Music is her spiritual food. The piano, her passion and her friend, instills a sense of wonder in life each day, making her a source of inspiration to all. Colette Maze was born in Paris in 1914. She started playing the piano at the age of five. As a young student, she was taught a technique by the legendary piano master Alfred Cortot, which focuses on relaxing the arms and hands when playing. To this day, the manner in which Colette Maze touches the piano while playing the tender music of Robert Schumann and Claude Debussy is still unusual and attractive. Contrary to the social conventions of the times, Maze decided to pursue music as a career. “She decided she was an artist, a musician, not a housewife, so she married the piano,” said her son Fabrice Maze. Later she became a piano teacher and a single mother with great difficulty. The piano always brings her solace. “Music is an affective language and a poetic language. In music, there is everything — nature, emotion, love, dreams,” Colette Maze said. Colette Maze’s talent and enthusiasm are priceless, especially during the times of the pandemic. “She helps improve morale (士气). Though at an old age, she is in good form for she has passion and can look after herself. Her sense of humor, her joy and her love of life make other people smile,” Fabrice Maze said. Colette Maze explained that life is not about being old or young. “Youth is inside us. Life is all about staying passionate and curious. You can’t let that slip away.

People visiting the West European country can now whizz (飞速行驶) across it in the relative luxury of one of its trains for zero cost. As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country. Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free — with the right ticket — providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets. “I’d like the people of Spain to know that I’m fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have,” a senior official said. “I know salaries cover less and less and that it’s difficult to get to the end of the month.” The country’s Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply. Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing €9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just €3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel. 1．What can be inferred about the program? A．People still have doubt about it. B．It is of benefit to the environment. C．The trains in Spain are completely free now. D．Spain is the only country in Europe to cut transport costs. 2．What is the main purpose of introducing the program? A．To lower fuel prices. B．To relieve the stress of airline business. C．To promote tourism and benefit people of Spain. D．To show the government’s concern for the public. 3．What does the author think of the UK government’s practice? A．Unwise. B．Admiring. C．Perfect. D．Praiseworthy. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The practices on public transport in some countries. B．The economic benefits of the program. C．The program’s great benefits to health. D．The popularity of the climate ticket. （九） （23-24高一下·陕西汉中·期末） Could animals from the past one day walk among us? One company is now looking to introduce extinct animals into the real world. US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo — a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. They lived there until the 17th century. “The place to reintroduce the do do into the wild would be Mauritius,” Ben Lamm, the co-founder of the company told The Guardian. A reintroduction of dodos to the ecosystem of the island, instead of just being a novelty, is thought to potentially bring benefits to the local plants and other animals that already live there. Having discovered the genetic code (基因序列) of extinct animals from their remains (遗骸), the company endeavours to change the DNA of currently living creatures to make them close to the animal of the past. The Nicobar pige on will be used as the genetic base for the dodo, according to MIT Technology Review. The company also has plans for other extinct animals. When the company first formed in 2021, it announced its plans to bring back mammoths. They believe that mammoths introduced to the Arctic regions could help tackle climate change as they turn the wet tundra into sunlight-reflecting dry grasslands, according to The New Yorker. However, some people are doubtful. According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past. Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon. 1．According to the text, what do we know about dodos? A．They were native to the island of Mauritius. B．They died out around the 19th century. C．They will be reintroduced into Vietnam. D．They could help slow down climate change. 2．What does the underlined word “endeavours” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Seems. B．Struggles. C．Refuses. D．Warns. 3．Why do some people have doubts about Colossal Biosciences’ plans? A．Because they believe protecting existing species is more necessary. B．Because they think the plans will not work out. C．Because they believe the plans follow the nature. D．Because they think extinct animals are not important. 4．What’s the author’s attitude towards the reintroduction of extinct animals? A．It sounds risky. B．It’s not worthwhile. C．It will bring many benefits. D．It still has a long way to go. （十） （23-24高一下·陕西安康高新中学·期末） In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward. One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day! As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can’t win at everything in life all the time. On and of the field, I am more iron-willed, disciplined (遵守纪律的) and respectful, and a better leader. I have had so many awesome experiences through sports, which have taught me much and prepared me for the future. The memories of all the trips and diverse experiences I have had will be with me for a lifetime. 1．What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A．He often switched sports. B．He was a gifted child in sports. C．He had a busy childhood. D．He was fond of sports from childhood. 2．How did the author feel during the semi-final at the World Series? A．Stressed and tired.

B．Giving a speech before the team. C．Improving his leadership qualities. D．Overcoming his own nervousness. 4．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．Interesting Life of Sports B．Life Lessons from Sports C．Deep Affection for Sports D．Special Moments in Sports （十一） （23-24高一下·陕西铜川市第一中学 期末） In an industry that so often focuses on youth, Carmen Dell Orefice is an inspirational person. At 92 years old, she is considered the oldest working model. Dell Orefice is unique because her career (职业生涯) did not begin to take off in middle age or even her 90s. Amazingly, she has been modeling since she was 15. Originally from New York City, Dell Orefice was discovered at 13 while riding the bus. Her first photos did not turn out as expected, but two years later, she caught her break when she was brought to Vogue magazine and signed her first modeling contract (合同). After that, she began her modeling career. But at first, Dell Orefice did not make enough money through modeling to support herself, so she and her mother had to do some other jobs. Her hard work offered her a chance to appear on Vogue covers, and she took part in many other activities, among other bookings. Dell Orefice took a break from modeling after marrying, but finally returned to work in 1978 to support her life. She was 47 years old at the time, and it was then that her career really began to develop quickly. Since then, she has continued working hard, booking both catwalks and advertisements (广告). In 2022, the 91-year-old’s photo appeared on New You magazine. At 92, Dell Orefice appeared on the cover of Vogue Czechoslovakia. “Men and women should care for themselves and love themselves. One of the secrets to keeping beauty is doing what you do for a baby, raising and feeding the baby with love,” she said. “That’s what we should do with ourselves: Nurture ourselves, love ourselves, and give that kind of energy to ourselves.” 1．When did Dell Orefice start her professional modeling career?

But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes. Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence. “Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.” The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.

Thiago is a self-described animal lover hoping to help the homeless dogs in his home city of Antônio Prado. So, he came up with an idea. Maybe if he could make the dogs on the street look more attractive, they’d have more chances to be adopted (收养). So he began giving baths to dogs in his spare time. This great idea is what led Thiago to create a project called “Sou de rua mas to limpinho” at the end of 2020. With the help of his father, he began looking for dogs who needed a helping hand. “At the end of last year, I decided that I needed to somehow do something for the animals,” Thiago said. “While talking to my father, I told him about my idea of bathing street dogs so they can stay clean and smell good and people may look at them differently.” Before the effort truly took off, Thiago and his dad had to work out how to win the dogs over. “Catching dogs on the street is difficult, since they are always frightened and many have suffered from ill treatment,” Thiago explained. “So we spent some time without baths until my father spoke to the public service organization and we started to bathe their newly saved dogs.” In addition to bathing them, Thiago started adding little accessories (配饰) to the dogs, such as little hair pins, to really increase their chances of adoption. The boy’s dad also took pictures of the dogs and posted them online, pointing any possible adopters to the nearby shelters (收容所). “I want people to be not afraid to adopt,” Thiago said. “It’s the best thing in the world.” 1．Why did Thiago create “Sou de rua mas to limpinho”? A．To provide baths for dogs. B．To raise money for animal shelters. C．To help homeless dogs get adopted. D．To draw public attention to animal care. 2．What was a problem facing Thiago and his dad at the start of the project? A．They were short of bath products. B．The homeless dogs distrusted them. C．People showed no interest in adoption. D．Possible adopters preferred young dogs. 3．Which of the following best describes Thiago? A．Caring. B．Confident. C．Humorous. D．Serious. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Boy Adopts Dogs in Bad Conditions B．Boy Helps Dogs Find a New Home C．Lost Dogs Require Getting Adopted D．Homeless Dogs Move into Shelters （十四） （23-24高一下 陕西西安市第八十五中学 期末） Located deep in the mountains of Chongyang county of Hubei province, the Qingshan Reservoir(水库)looks like a river with many twists and turns. For Wang Zhijun, a primary school teacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle(障碍)to be overcome. He doubles as a ferryman to help students shuttle(往返)back and forth via boat. A recent video of Wang went viral on social media and moved many. He became a teacher at the primary school in Panshan village in 1995. With water in three directions, the village occupies a sort of peninsula(半岛), even though it’s high on Qingshan Mountain. Wang travels 500 meters of mountain roads to carry water to the school for the students. He rows a boat to pick them up for school, and then he takes them home afterward. Wang said he had suffered many falls with the water buckets, but the ferry trips have always been safe. With development of the local economy, Panshan Primary School merged with(与……结合)the Chichong Primary School on the opposite bank of the reservoir in 2017. Wang could drive to pick up most of the students, but a few depend on his boat. He said he had been given several opportunities to get out of the area for better career development, but he felt responsible for the kids and stayed. Panshan and Chichong villages together have more than 1,000 residents. Wang is proud that 40 of his students eventually entered college. “My ultimate dream is to send them out from the mountains through education,” Wang said. Meanwhile, he is proud that six of the 40 college students returned to their hometown and became teachers themselves. 1．What can be learned about Wang according to the news report? A．The ferry trip is sometimes dangerous. B．Wang works in a primary school near a reservoir. C．The parents often help him carry water to the school.

Dr. Martin Jocker at the University of New South Wales said the bole usually began forming at the end of September, peaking in October before closing in November or December. The ozone hole is an annual thinning of the strutosphere’s ozone layer, which has a high concentration of ozone. The hole has been “recovering” over time and ozone levels over the Antarctic are expected to return to 1980 levels by 2066. The development of the ozone hole in 2023 was not adventitious. The ozone hole is usually smaller during El Niño years, but the model of Jucker suggested it would be larger than usual in 2023 due to the undersea Tonga volcanic explosion in 2022, which was likely to have an impact on the ozone layer in the years following. In early August, the formation was about average for the day of the year. This increased rapidly in the next few days, producing one of the largest observed ozone holes for the time of year. The explosion of the Tonga volcano brought a large amount of water vapour (蒸气) into the stratosphere. “It was about 150 megatonnes. A factor of about three times more water vapour than we usually have,” said Jucker. Ice clouds form in the stratosphere when there is more water vapour than usual, allowing tiny ozone-destructing substances to gather there. Jucker said he was concerned about the impact of the hole on Antarctic sea ice, which has been at record low levels. 1．What do we know about the Antarctic ozone hole? A．It happens every year. B．It keeps at a balanced level. C．It tends to worsen annually. D．It remains the largest on record. 2．What does the underlined word “adventitious” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Reasonable. B．Unsettled. C．Rare. D．Unexpected. 3．What is the result of the Tonga volcanic explosion according to the last paragraph? A．The disappearance of ozone. B．The atmospheric changes. C．The decrease of water vapour. D．The formation of destructive substances. 4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Stratosphere Faces New Threats B．Ozone Levels Are Changing Continuously C．Ozone Hole Forms Earlier Than Usual D．Volcanic Explosion Produces Global Effect （十六） （23-24高一下·陕西安康·期末） As the oldest of three children, I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids. Instead, Mom got my wardrobe (全部衣物) from neighborhood mothers. Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing. Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned, Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation. But situations do change. That opportunity came after high school when I joined the Navy. The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life, and the GI Bill gave me a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career choices finally lifted me into the middle class. One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me. I could tell he didn’t recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor (折磨者). His words were short, but I’ll never forget them. He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?” The tables had turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir”. While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two-word reply: “Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge (复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him. 1．Where did the author usually get his clothes as a kid? A．His mom bought them for him. B．They were from other families. C．Other poor kids collected them for him. D．They were handed down by his brothers. 2．Which word best describes the author’s childhood? A．Painful. B．Funny. C．Strange. D．Lucky. 3．What job did Charlie probably do? A．A hairdresser. B．A waiter. C．A soldier. D．A cook. 4．What is the best title of the passage?

Dais g is a four - year - old Labrador Retriever who loves going on walks with her owner, Kelly Mason, at Grand Vue Park: Every day, they walk about five miles through the park. Sometimes, Daisy goes on her own adventure and returns with a souvenir. “Daisy has a nose to finding discs”. Mason told VTRF. “We will be walking through the park and her most will go up. She can smell them, and she just goes off. She could go off 30 yards through the high weeds. And here she comes with a disc.” Since she found her first disc about three years ago, Daisy has got back 155 of them with no plans of stopping anytime soon. The park recently teamed up with Mason to create a program called Daisy’s Discs. “Normally when park staff find them or when our park guests find them, all of them are put into the barn (仓库) area,” says Ben Bolock, the assistant general manager at Grand Vue Park. “Some discs that have names on them, so we call them. And people are able to come and pick them up. They can also make a donation to Daisy’s Discs and that money will fund the Marshall County Animal Rescue League. If discs are found and there’s no name on them and we’ve had them for a long period of time and nobody has claimed them, the park will sell them for a very low amount and that money will go back into the disc golf course.” 1．What do we know about Daisy from the text? A．She has a talent for finding lost items B．She played disc golf discs with people. C．She has won a prize for her contribution. D．She no longer goes on personal adventures. 2．What happens to the lost discs found in the nark? A．They are on show at the park store. B．They are all donated to local dog shelters. C．Discs with owners’ names are returned to them. D．Unclaimed discs. at e sent to poor areas. 3．What is the main purpose of the Daisy’s Discs program? A．To offer souvenirs to park visitors. B．To train dogs to find lost items. C．To raise funds for the local animal rescue league. D．To encourage people to play disc golf at the park. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

I’d dance to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Whenever he played Tritsch-Tratsch Polka, I’d grab my skipping ropes and skip to the beat. I’d request Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata when I was getting ready for bed. Listening to classical music was part of my daily routine. I eventually learned how to play the piano. After I had my own daughter, I was excited to introduce her to classical music. However, this excitement soon led to disappointment as no matter what piece I chose, she would not listen. Then one day in October, everything changed. My daughter came home and announced, “I want to dress up as a bumblebee for Halloween. Can you make me a costume, Mom?” Of course, I agreed to sew her a bumblebee costume. But at the same time, the bumblebee gave me an idea. I worked all week on the costume. On Halloween night, my daughter put the costume on and looked in the mirror. Her eyes lit up. She began making buzzing noises—and I was ready. “Can you fly like a bumblebee?” I asked. As she began to buzz around the room, I quickly started playing Flight of the Bumblebee. As the fast-paced violin music began, my daughter buzzed around to the music. She never stopped moving. When the music came to its final bars, my daughter shouted, “Play it again, Mom!” So I played it again. Since that night, classical music has become more prevalent in our household. Eventually, she learned how to play the violin and guitar. I still have that costume stored away in a special box. I hope to pass it on to my grandchildren one day and see what happens. 1．What does the author intend to show by mentioning the music works in Paragraph 1? A．The impact of classical music on her.

That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance. This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion—landscape photography. It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms—via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them. Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said. 1．What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary? A．Lack of fresh air. B．Absence of windows. C．Insufficient lighting. D．Limited access to technology. 2．Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms? A．To connect the students with nature. B．To promote his photography skills. C．To improve the teachers’ performance. D．To create an exciting environment for the students. 3．How did the students react to Rodriguez’s pictures on the classroom ceiling? A．They did not notice the change. B．They failed to concentrate on lessons. C．They preferred the original gray ceiling. D．They were in favour of the new additions. 4．What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom? A．Cautious and objective. B．Appreciative and supportive. C．Concerned but doubtful. D．Curious but unsure. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了Emesto Rodriguez将风景“带进”教室，让孩子们能够在没有窗户的教室里接触到自然的故事。 1．细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. (加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉市塔夫脱小学的一些教室有一个共同的缺点：没有窗户。)”可知，这个学校的一些教室面临的一个共同的挑战是它们都没有窗户。故选B。 2．推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. (前学校心理学家埃内斯托·罗德里格斯证实了这一点，他说缺乏窗户确实会影响孩子，因为研究表明，在大自然中和大自然周围可以缓解焦虑，对学生有益。)”以及第四段“It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. (正是在他接受公园护林员培训的过程中，他了解到一个事实，即那些能看到窗外树木的孩子在学业、情感和创造力方面都做得更好)”可知，Emesto Rodriguez 将风景“带进”教室是为了将学生和自然联系在一起。接触大自然对孩子们的身心健康有益。故选A。 3．推理判断题。文章第五段中““Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” (“太美了，”一个学生走进房间时说。另一名学生说，这些树给他带来了平静，“当你抬头看的时候，感觉就像你坐在树下。”)”引用的两个学生的评价可知，他们对教室天花板上的风景是很喜欢的。故选D。 4．推理判断题。文章最后一段中Logan Earmest的话“I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier (我想我的出勤率会上升。孩子们会想更频繁地来这里的。总的来说，我认为孩子们会更快乐)”可知，他对教室里的改变是持欣赏和赞同的态度的。故选B。 （四） （23-24高一下·陕西商洛·期末） Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set. In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size. The team developed an algorithm (算法) to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day — equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction. Dr. Onur Çelik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.”Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world. One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective. 1．What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space? A．To improve communication between Earth and space. B．To bring the effects of climate change under control. C．To produce electricity for agricultural use. D．To increase the production of solar power. 2．What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms? A．The increased demand for electricity. B．The decrease in the cost of solar panels. C．The development of space technology. D．The requirement to preserve the environment. 3．What can be inferred about the future of solar farms? A．They’ll replace fossil fuels completely. B．They’ll become the main source of energy. C．They’ll be more cost-effective and efficient. D．They’ll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight. 4．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．A news report. B．A maths website. C．A marketing brochure. D．A policy brief. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，安装在太空中的反射器使太阳能发电场的未来一片光明。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set.(格拉斯哥大学的空间工程师发表了一项新的研究，展示了放置在地球轨道上的反射器如何通过在太阳落西后反射额外的阳光来增加未来大型太阳能发电场的产量)”和第二段中“In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power.(在他们的论文中，研究人员描述了他们如何使用先进的计算机模型来帮助确定使用轨道太阳反射器产生额外能量的最有效方法)”可知，在太空中安装反射器的目的是增加太阳能的产出，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world.(此外，近年来太阳能电池板的价格迅速下降，加快了它们的采用速度，并为在世界各地建立大型太阳能农场铺平了道路)”可知，太阳能电池板价格的下降促进了大型太阳能发电场的应用，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world.(此外，近年来太阳能电池板的价格迅速下降，加快了它们的采用速度，并为在世界各地建立大型太阳能农场铺平了道路)”讲太阳能电池板价格的下降促进了大型太阳能发电场的应用和最后一段中“Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come.

This is her optimistic view, she said. “The breaking point for me was a meeting in Singapore,” said Cerezo-Mota, an expert in climate modelling at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. There, she listened to other experts spell out the connection between rising global temperatures and heatwaves, fires, storms and floods hurting people -not at the end of the century, but today. “That was the time when everything clicked (恍然大悟).” “I got upset,” she said. “It was a very dark point in my life. I was unable to do anything and was just surviving.” Cerezo-Mota recovered to continue her work: “We keep doing it because we have to do it, so the powerful cannot say that they didn’t know. We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.” In Mérida on the Yucatán peninsula, where Cerezo-Mota lives, the heat keeps rising. “Last summer,  we had around 47℃ maximum. The worst part is that, even at night, it’s 38℃ , which is higher than your body temperature. It doesn’t give a minute of the day for your body to try to recover.” She said record-breaking heatwaves led to many deaths in Mexico. “It’s very frustrating because many of these things could have been avoided. And it’s just silly to think: Well, I don’t care if Mexico gets destroyed? We have seen these extreme events happening everywhere. There is not a safe place for anyone. “I think 3℃ is being hopeful and conservative (保守的). 1.5℃ is already bad, but I don’t think there is any way we are going to stick to that. There is not any clear sign from any government that we are actually going to stay under 1.5℃ .” Cerezo-Mota is far from alone in her fear. A survey of hundreds of the world’s climate experts has found that: ●77% of interviewees believe global temperatures will reach at least 2.5℃ above pre -industrial levels, a disastrous level. ● Almost half-42% —think it will be more than 3℃ . ●Only 6% think the 1.5℃ limit will be achieved. 1．The flooding, fires and droughts of the past three years worldwide is connected with __________. A．climate change B．heatwaves C．high temperature D．extreme events 2．What does the underlined word “soaring past” in Paragraph2 probably mean? A．except for B．by accident C．on the spot D．far beyond 3．What is Cerezo-Mot’s attitude towards the increase in global temperatures?

D．What caused deaths in Mexico? 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章通过采访气候科学家Ruth Cerezo-Mota，报道了她对全球气候变化现状的深切担忧和个人情感体验，同时引用了具体的气候变化影响实例和数据调查结果，科普了全球变暖的严峻形势及其潜在后果。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“After all the flooding, fires and droughts of the last three years worldwide, are all related to climate change, and after the fury (袭击) of Hurricane Otis in Mexico, my country, I really thought governments were ready to listen to the science, to act in the people’s best interest. (过去三年，全球范围内的洪水、火灾和干旱都与气候变化有关，在我的国家墨西哥奥蒂斯飓风肆虐之后，我真的认为政府已经准备好倾听科学，为人民的最佳利益采取行动)”可知，Ruth Cerezo-Mota明确指出这些灾害与气候变化相关联。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“Instead, Cerezo -Mota expects the world to heat by a catastrophic (灾难性的) 3℃ this century (相反，Cerezo-Mota预计本世纪全球气温将达到灾难性的3摄氏度)”和“the internationally agreed 1.5℃ target and delivering enormous suffering to billions of people (国际商定的1.5摄氏度目标，给数十亿人带来巨大痛苦)”可知，全球气温上升将会远远超过国际间商定的1.5℃目标，达到灾难性的3℃，划线词的含义为“远远超出”。A. except for除了；B. by accident意外；C. on the spot当场；D. far beyond远远超出。故选D。 3．推理判断题。由文章第三段““I got upset,” she said. “It was a very dark point in my life. I was unable to do anything and was just surviving.” (“我很沮丧，”她说。“那是我生命中非常黑暗的时刻。我什么都做不了，只能生存下去。”)”、第四段“Cerezo-Mota recovered to continue her work: “We keep doing it because we have to do it, so the powerful cannot say that they didn’t know. We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.” (Cerezo-Mota恢复过来继续她的工作：“我们一直在做，因为我们必须这样做，所以有权有势的人不能说他们不知道。我们知道我们在说什么。他们可以说他们不在乎，但不能说他们不知道。”)”、第五段“In Mérida on the Yucatán peninsula, where Cerezo-Mota lives, the heat keeps rising. “Last summer,   we had around 47℃ maximum. The worst part is that, even at night, it’s 38℃ , which is higher than your body temperature. It doesn’t give a minute of the day for your body to try to recover.” (在塞雷佐-莫塔居住的Yucatán半岛上的姆萨里达，气温持续上升。“去年夏天，最高气温约为47摄氏度。最糟糕的是，即使在晚上，气温也高达38℃，比你的体温还要高。它不会给你的身体一分钟的时间来恢复。”)”可知，Cerezo-Mota在文中表达了对政府未能采取有效行动的失望，以及对全球气温上升可能导致的巨大苦难的忧虑，因此她对全球气温上升的态度是担忧的。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“After all the flooding, fires and droughts of the last three years worldwide, are all related to climate change, and after the fury (袭击) of Hurricane Otis in Mexico, my country, I really thought governments were ready to listen to the science, to act in the people’s best interest. (过去三年，全球范围内的洪水、火灾和干旱都与气候变化有关，在我的国家墨西哥奥蒂斯飓风肆虐之后，我真的认为政府已经准备好倾听科学，为人民的最佳利益采取行动)”、第三段““I got upset,” she said. “It was a very dark point in my life. I was unable to do anything and was just surviving.” (“我很沮丧，”她说。“那是我生命中非常黑暗的时刻。我什么都做不了，只能生存下去。”)”和第四段“Cerezo-Mota recovered to continue her work: “We keep doing it because we have to do it, so the powerful cannot say that they didn’t know. We know what we’re talking about. They can say they don’t care, but they can’t say they didn’t know.” (Cerezo-Mota恢复过来继续她的工作：“我们一直在做，因为我们必须这样做，所以有权有势的人不能说他们不知道。我们知道我们在说什么。他们可以说他们不在乎，但不能说他们不知道。”)”可知，文章主要围绕气候科学家Ruth Cerezo-Mota对当前气候变化状况的绝望情绪、她的个人经历以及对未来的悲观预测展开，同时也提到了一项关于气候专家看法的调查结果，这些都紧密围绕着Ruth Cerezo-Mota的绝望情绪及其原因。选项B“Why is Ruth Cerezo-Mota in despair? (为什么Ruth Cerezo-Mota绝望了？)”适合作为文章标题。故选B。 （六） （23-24高一下·陕西榆林·期末） When I reach Yamada Bee Farm, Vivian is already busy checking hive (蜂箱) boxes, not noticing my presence. I hear her chatting with the bees, their soft hum (嗡嗡声) filling the air between words of encouragement and negotiation (商量). Vivian was born with extreme deafness. While Vivian is able to hear with the help of hearing aids, she usually take off them when she’s working. “Sounds aren’t natural to me,” she explains. “I just love the peace and quiet. When I’m with the bees, I don’t need to hear. I can focus better when I’m not constantly disturbed.” Equipped with only her hood (头巾), hive tool, and smoker, Vivian moves at a gentle pace with the intention of not disturbing the bees. I’m overdressed, having borrowed a full protective suit for the occasion. She instructs me to take off the gloves I brought and tells me where to stand so as to avoid stressing out the bees. Vivian’s gentle, careful style makes me feel at ease around her insects. The more time we spend together, the more I come to appreciate Vivian’s passion (热情) for bees, as well as the ways that being hard of hearing have influenced her unique approach to the beekeeping. In her practice, she emphasizes natural beekeeping techniques that employ minimal chemical interventions (干扰). And she’s able to get all the information she needs to tend to the hives by relying on her other senses. Perhaps above all else, what makes Vivian an excellent beekeeper is almost philosophical. Expert at her job has everything to do with adaptation, dealing with the countless changes that appear on any given day. Is there too much rain? Too little? When will the flowers bloom? Will they produce enough honey? She responds accordingly, making sure not to disturb the bees’ rhythm and balance. “There is a spiritual side to beekeeping,” she said. “You can’t fully control them, like with anything in nature, really. Some years you get a great honey season. Some years are horrible and you lose 50 percent of your hive. There’s a lot of heartbreak but a lot of joy in it, too, just working outside with these creatures—a living superorganism (个体).” 1．What assists Vivian to hear? A．a hive box. B．hearing aids. C．a chemical material. D．other senses. 2．What is TRUE according to paragraph 3? A．Vivian moves gently in order not to disturb the bees. B．A protective suit is necessary for Vivian. C．Losing hearing brings trouble to Vivian’s work. D．The author is too frightened to follow Vivian’s instructions. 3．What matters most for Vivian to become an excellent beekeeper? A．Her knowledge on weather conditions. B．Her remarkable honey production. C．Her natural beekeeping techniques. D．Her ability of dealing with daily uncertainties. 4．What is Vivian like? A．Deaf and depressed. B．Optimistic and skilled. C．Creative and brave. D．Heartbroken but determined. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者访问达山田蜜蜂农场时与养蜂人薇薇安的互动和交流。通过作者的观察和薇薇安的自述，展现了薇薇安的个人经历、工作方式和对待养蜂的独特态度。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Vivian was born with extreme deafness. While Vivian is able to hear with the help of hearing aids, she usually take off them when she’s working.”（薇薇安生下来就极度失聪。虽然薇薇安在助听器的帮助下能够听到声音，但她在工作时通常会摘下助听器。）可知，助听器帮助薇薇安听到声音。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Equipped with only her hood（头巾）, hive tool, and smoker, Vivian moves at a gentle pace with the intention of not disturbing the bees.”（薇薇安只带着她的兜帽、蜂箱工具和烟熏器，为了不打扰蜜蜂，她轻轻地移动着。）可知，根据第三段薇薇安轻轻地移动，以免打扰蜜蜂这项陈述是正确的。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Perhaps above all else, what makes Vivian an excellent beekeeper is almost philosophical. Expert at her job has everything to do with adaptation, dealing with the countless changes that appear on any given day. Is there too much rain? Too little? When will the flowers bloom? Will they produce enough honey? She responds accordingly, making sure not to disturb the bees’ rhythm and balance.”（也许最重要的是，薇薇安成为一名优秀养蜂人的原因几乎是哲学上的。她的工作与适应有关，处理每天出现的无数变化。雨水太多了吗？太少？花儿什么时候开放？它们能酿出足够的蜜吗？她做出相应的反应，确保不扰乱蜜蜂的节奏和平衡。）可知，薇薇安能够应对日常的不确定性，如天气、花的开花时间和蜂蜜产量等，这种能力对她来说至关重要。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Vivian was born with extreme deafness. While Vivian is able to hear with the help of hearing aids, she usually take off them when she’s working. “Sounds aren’t natural to me,” she explains. “I just love the peace and quiet.”（薇薇安生下来就极度失聪。虽然薇薇安在助听器的帮助下能够听到声音，但她在工作时通常会摘下助听器。“声音对我来说不自然，”她解释说。“我就是喜欢这里的平和和安静。）可知，薇薇安对于失聪她是乐观的态度。以及第四段中“Perhaps above all else, what makes Vivian an excellent beekeeper is almost philosophical. Expert at her job has everything to do with adaptation, dealing with the countless changes that appear on any given day.”（也许最重要的是，薇薇安成为一名优秀养蜂人的原因几乎是哲学上的。她的工作与适应有关，处理每天出现的无数变化。）可知，她的养蜂技艺高超。因此，可以推断出薇薇安是一个既乐观又技艺高超的人。故选B项。 （七） （23-24高一下·陕西渭南·期末） Colette Maze has been playing the piano for over a century. She practices four hours a day and her fingers never tire. Music is her spiritual food. The piano, her passion and her friend, instills a sense of wonder in life each day, making her a source of inspiration to all. Colette Maze was born in Paris in 1914. She started playing the piano at the age of five. As a young student, she was taught a technique by the legendary piano master Alfred Cortot, which focuses on relaxing the arms and hands when playing. To this day, the manner in which Colette Maze touches the piano while playing the tender music of Robert Schumann and Claude Debussy is still unusual and attractive. Contrary to the social conventions of the times, Maze decided to pursue music as a career. “She decided she was an artist, a musician, not a housewife, so she married the piano,” said her son Fabrice Maze. Later she became a piano teacher and a single mother with great difficulty. The piano always brings her solace. “Music is an affective language and a poetic language. In music, there is everything — nature, emotion, love, dreams,” Colette Maze said. Colette Maze’s talent and enthusiasm are priceless, especially during the times of the pandemic. “She helps improve morale (士气). Though at an old age, she is in good form for she has passion and can look after herself. Her sense of humor, her joy and her love of life make other people smile,” Fabrice Maze said. Colette Maze explained that life is not about being old or young. “Youth is inside us. Life is all about staying passionate and curious. You can’t let that slip away. If you appreciate what’s beautiful around you, you will find a sense of wonder in it,” she said. 1．How did Alfred Cortot influence Colette Maze? A．He presented her with a special piano.

People visiting the West European country can now whizz (飞速行驶) across it in the relative luxury of one of its trains for zero cost. As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country. Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free — with the right ticket — providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets. “I’d like the people of Spain to know that I’m fully aware of the daily difficulties that most people have,” a senior official said. “I know salaries cover less and less and that it’s difficult to get to the end of the month.” The country’s Ministry of Transport said the measure would help people get to work safely as fuel prices continue to rise sharply. Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing €9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just €3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel. 1．What can be inferred about the program? A．People still have doubt about it. B．It is of benefit to the environment. C．The trains in Spain are completely free now. D．Spain is the only country in Europe to cut transport costs. 2．What is the main purpose of introducing the program? A．To lower fuel prices. B．To relieve the stress of airline business. C．To promote tourism and benefit people of Spain. D．To show the government’s concern for the public. 3．What does the author think of the UK government’s practice? A．Unwise. B．Admiring. C．Perfect. D．Praiseworthy. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The practices on public transport in some countries. B．The economic benefits of the program. C．The program’s great benefits to health. D．The popularity of the climate ticket. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了西班牙推出的一项新计划，即年底前大部分火车旅行将免费，并分析了这一政策对旅游业、生活成本以及环境等方面的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“As well as being much better for the environment than air travel, sitting on a train and watching the countryside slip by is the perfect way to get to know a country.(坐火车不仅比坐飞机更环保，而且坐在火车上看着乡村景色从身边掠过也是了解一个国家的最佳方式。)”可知，坐火车旅行比乘飞机旅行对环境更有益，坐在火车上看着乡村景色滑过是了解一个国家的完美方式。因此可以推断出这个计划对环境是有益的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Under Spain’s new program, all short and medium train rides are free—with the right ticket—providing the perfect opportunity to see Catalonia, Andalucia and the Basque Country. Tourists can take advantage of the discounts, which have been brought in to help the population deal with the cost of living crisis, if they buy multi-journey tickets.(根据西班牙的新计划，所有的中短途火车都是免费的——只要你买对了票——这是游览加泰罗尼亚、安达卢西亚和巴斯克地区的绝佳机会。如果游客购买多程票，他们可以利用折扣，这是为了帮助人们应对生活成本危机而引入的。)”可推断，西班牙的新计划是为了让人们能够零成本乘坐火车，这对于旅游业来说是一个巨大的推动。此外，文章中明确提到这一计划是为了帮助人们应对生活成本危机。因此，这个计划的主要目的是促进旅游业和造福西班牙人民，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause. Instead, the government cut fuel duty by 5% in March for 12 months, encouraging more people to get behind the wheel.(尽管气候危机的严重性和汽油柴油车造成的破坏，英国政府并没有宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。相反，政府在3月份将燃油税降低了5%，为期12个月，鼓励更多人开车上路。)”可知，作者认为英国政府的做法是不明智的，因为它没有采取措施鼓励使用更环保的交通工具，而是鼓励人们继续使用汽车，从而加剧环境问题。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段内容“Spain joins Germany in cutting the price of public transport, with the latter country launching a ticket costing €9 which gives a full month of travel from June until the end of August. Austria has started offering a climate ticket, which allows people to complete journeys for just €3. When it was first launched last year, the popularity of the ticket almost caused its website to crash. The UK government has not announced any plans to encourage the use of trains, despite the seriousness of the climate crisis and the damage petrol and diesel cars cause.(西班牙加入了德国的行列，开始降低公共交通价格，德国推出了一张9欧元的车票，从6月到8月底可以坐一个月的车。奥地利已经开始提供气候票，人们只需花3欧元就能完成旅程。去年该票首次推出时，其受欢迎程度几乎导致其网站崩溃。尽管气候危机严重，汽油和柴油汽车造成的破坏也很严重，但英国政府尚未宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划。)”可知，最后一段主要描述了德国、奥地利和英国在公共交通方面的做法，德国推出了9欧元的月票，奥地利提供了气候票，而英国政府没有宣布任何鼓励使用火车的计划，反而降低了燃油税。因此，该段的主要内容是关于一些国家在公共交通方面的实践。故选A。 （九） （23-24高一下·陕西汉中·期末） Could animals from the past one day walk among us? One company is now looking to introduce extinct animals into the real world. US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo — a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. They lived there until the 17th century. “The place to reintroduce the do do into the wild would be Mauritius,” Ben Lamm, the co-founder of the company told The Guardian. A reintroduction of dodos to the ecosystem of the island, instead of just being a novelty, is thought to potentially bring benefits to the local plants and other animals that already live there. Having discovered the genetic code (基因序列) of extinct animals from their remains (遗骸), the company endeavours to change the DNA of currently living creatures to make them close to the animal of the past. The Nicobar pige on will be used as the genetic base for the dodo, according to MIT Technology Review. The company also has plans for other extinct animals. When the company first formed in 2021, it announced its plans to bring back mammoths. They believe that mammoths introduced to the Arctic regions could help tackle climate change as they turn the wet tundra into sunlight-reflecting dry grasslands, according to The New Yorker. However, some people are doubtful. According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past. Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon. 1．According to the text, what do we know about dodos? A．They were native to the island of Mauritius. B．They died out around the 19th century. C．They will be reintroduced into Vietnam. D．They could help slow down climate change. 2．What does the underlined word “endeavours” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Seems. B．Struggles. C．Refuses. D．Warns. 3．Why do some people have doubts about Colossal Biosciences’ plans? A．Because they believe protecting existing species is more necessary. B．Because they think the plans will not work out. C．Because they believe the plans follow the nature. D．Because they think extinct animals are not important. 4．What’s the author’s attitude towards the reintroduction of extinct animals? A．It sounds risky. B．It’s not worthwhile. C．It will bring many benefits. D．It still has a long way to go. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了美国公司Colossal Biosciences计划利用现代生物技术复活渡渡鸟等已灭绝动物，旨在恢复生态系统平衡，其中渡渡鸟可能被重新引入毛里求斯岛，而猛犸象的复活则被认为有助于应对气候变化。然而，这一计划也引发了保护现有物种优先的争议。实际操作中，科学奇迹能否实现尚待观察。 1．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo — a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. They lived there until the 17th century.(1月31日，美国公司Colossal Biosciences宣布，他们将尝试让渡渡鸟起死回生。渡渡鸟是一种原产于印度洋毛里求斯岛的大型鸟类。他们在那里一直住到17世纪)”可知，渡渡鸟原产于毛里求斯岛。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。由第四段“Having discovered the genetic code (基因序列) of extinct animals from their remains (遗骸), the company endeavours to change the DNA of currently living creatures to make them close to the animal of the past.(该公司从灭绝动物的遗骸中发现了它们的基因序列，并endeavours改变现存生物的DNA，使它们更接近过去的动物)”可知，公司致力于改变现存生物的DNA，使它们更接近过去的动物。分析选项，A.Seems.(似乎)；B.Struggles.(奋斗，努力)；C. Refuses.(拒绝)；D. Warns.(警告)，B符合题意。故选B。 3．细节理解题。由倒数第二段“According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past.(据英国广播公司《科学焦点》报道，目前有三分之一的鸟类物种正在减少，因此比以往任何时候都更需要保护现有物种的策略，而不是只关注过去的动物)”可知，一些人对Colossal Biosciences的计划持怀疑态度是因为他们认为保护现有物种更为必要。故选A。 4．推理判断题。由最后一段“Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon.(尽管缺乏共识，但这一科学奇迹能否真正实现还有待观察。现实版的侏罗纪公园不太可能很快开放)”可知，作者认为重现灭绝动物仍有一段长路要走。故选D。 （十） （23-24高一下·陕西安康高新中学·期末） In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward. One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day! As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group.

(我最难忘的时刻之一，就是十一岁时我代表德克萨斯响尾蛇队参加世界大赛的时候。七月的酷热让人难以忍受。那是一场半决赛。我们像猪一样汗流浃背，冲进球员休息区进行最后一次击球；我们现在落后一分。我是队里的第二击球手和队长，我已经为这个时刻做好了准备。在接下来的几秒钟里，我有机会通过打出全垒打来展示我作为击球手的力量和在压力下作为领袖的能力！我们赢得了那天的比赛！)”可知，在作者难忘的一场半决赛中，在球队落后一分的情况下，他打出了本垒打，展示了他作为击球员的实力及球队队长的抗压能力，让球队赢得了比赛。通过这些描述，我们可以推断出，作者应是为此感到骄傲自豪的和自信的。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group.

(作为队长，我记得有一次我不得不给我的球队演讲，因为我们输掉了一场重要的比赛。我很紧张，但我知道，当我的团队情绪低落时，我有责任让他们振作起来。这段经历塑造了我的思想，让我变得更加独立，所以我获得了在团队和团队面前像领导者一样说话的能力。体育运动让我明白，你不可能一直在生活中赢得一切。)”可知，作者认为困难的事是带领球队勇敢面对失败。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了作者从小就喜爱体育运动；第二段讲的是作者体育运动中的高光时刻；第三段讲的是体育运动教会作者接受失败；最后一段总结了体育运动教给作者很多东西，且这些经历和记忆将陪伴作者一生。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲述了作者通过体育运动获得的人生感悟，所以B项“Life Lessons from Sports (体育带给我们的人生感悟)”是本文最好的标题。故选B。 （十一） （23-24高一下·陕西铜川市第一中学 期末） In an industry that so often focuses on youth, Carmen Dell Orefice is an inspirational person. At 92 years old, she is considered the oldest working model. Dell Orefice is unique because her career (职业生涯) did not begin to take off in middle age or even her 90s. Amazingly, she has been modeling since she was 15. Originally from New York City, Dell Orefice was discovered at 13 while riding the bus. Her first photos did not turn out as expected, but two years later, she caught her break when she was brought to Vogue magazine and signed her first modeling contract (合同). After that, she began her modeling career. But at first, Dell Orefice did not make enough money through modeling to support herself, so she and her mother had to do some other jobs. Her hard work offered her a chance to appear on Vogue covers, and she took part in many other activities, among other bookings. Dell Orefice took a break from modeling after marrying, but finally returned to work in 1978 to support her life. She was 47 years old at the time, and it was then that her career really began to develop quickly. Since then, she has continued working hard, booking both catwalks and advertisements (广告). In 2022, the 91-year-old’s photo appeared on New You magazine. At 92, Dell Orefice appeared on the cover of Vogue Czechoslovakia. “Men and women should care for themselves and love themselves. One of the secrets to keeping beauty is doing what you do for a baby, raising and feeding the baby with love,” she said. “That’s what we should do with ourselves: Nurture ourselves, love ourselves, and give that kind of energy to ourselves.” 1．When did Dell Orefice start her professional modeling career? A．In 1944. B．In 1946. C．In 1978. D．In 2022. 2．What do we know about Dell Orefice from paragraph 2? A．She became famous overnight. B．She was discovered at school. C．She got support from the school. D．Her first photos failed to be well received. 3．What does Dell Orefice think is key to one’s life? A．Self-love. B．Family background. C．Raising babies. D．Marriage. 4．Where does this text come from? A．A travel website. B．A diary entry. C．A fashion magazine. D．A TV advertisement. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了当前最年长的在职模特Carmen Dell Orefice的故事，92岁的她仍然活跃在时尚界。13岁那年她被挖掘，在15岁正式开启职业生涯，但直到中年后才真正崭露头角。她认为，人们应该关心自己，爱自己，让自己保有能量。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Amazingly, she has been modeling since she was 15. (令人惊讶的是，她从15岁起就开始当模特了)”和第三段中“In 2022, the 91-year-old’s photo appeared on New You magazine. (2022年，这位91岁老人的照片出现在《New You》杂志上)”可知，她在15岁开始职业模特生涯，2022年的时候她91岁，因此当时是1946年（=2022-91+15）。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Her first photos did not turn out as expected, (她的第一批照片并没有达到预期效果)”可知，她的第一批照片并不受欢迎。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Men and women should care for themselves and love themselves.

But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes. Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them.

Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.” The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.

She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.(埃米·塔伦特，一个有着坚定决心的女孩，在学校啦啦队表演时站在场边。她穿着一件黑色连衣裙和扎染的鞋子，配合着整个动作，不停地移动)”以及第二段“The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring.(这段视频有超过300万的点击量和87000个赞，埃米在视频中面对官方球队，和他们一起表演。她的表演简直令人振奋)”可知，Emmie拒绝放弃表演。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段““Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”(Sydnee笑着说：“埃米这次可能不在啦啦队，但我相信她的才能和精神会在未来的某个地方闪耀。”“现在，她很满足，很开心地做着自己喜欢的事情。谢谢大家的支持。我想向世界展示艾米追求自己喜欢的东西的快乐和多样性的美丽。”)”可推知，Sydnee把这段视频放到网上是为了用埃米的精神激励他人。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes.(埃米的学校一直在给埃米帮助和鼓励，但有时必须做出艰难的决定)”可知，学校对埃米加入啦啦队是支持的。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.(面对拒绝，这个坚强的13岁女孩选择跳舞，而不是坐在那里，让它定义她，激励我们所有人拥抱我们的独特性，在每一刻都找到快乐)”可推知，作者主要想告诉我们，让我们的梦想长存。故选B项。 （十三） （23-24高一下·陕西榆林横山·期末） Every dog should have a loving home, and thanks to a 13-year-old boy named Thiago, many are now closer to finding one. Thiago is a self-described animal lover hoping to help the homeless dogs in his home city of Antônio Prado. So, he came up with an idea. Maybe if he could make the dogs on the street look more attractive, they’d have more chances to be adopted (收养). So he began giving baths to dogs in his spare time. This great idea is what led Thiago to create a project called “Sou de rua mas to limpinho” at the end of 2020. With the help of his father, he began looking for dogs who needed a helping hand. “At the end of last year, I decided that I needed to somehow do something for the animals,” Thiago said. “While talking to my father, I told him about my idea of bathing street dogs so they can stay clean and smell good and people may look at them differently.” Before the effort truly took off, Thiago and his dad had to work out how to win the dogs over. “Catching dogs on the street is difficult, since they are always frightened and many have suffered from ill treatment,” Thiago explained. “So we spent some time without baths until my father spoke to the public service organization and we started to bathe their newly saved dogs.” In addition to bathing them, Thiago started adding little accessories (配饰) to the dogs, such as little hair pins, to really increase their chances of adoption. The boy’s dad also took pictures of the dogs and posted them online, pointing any possible adopters to the nearby shelters (收容所). “I want people to be not afraid to adopt,” Thiago said. “It’s the best thing in the world.” 1．Why did Thiago create “Sou de rua mas to limpinho”? A．To provide baths for dogs. B．To raise money for animal shelters. C．To help homeless dogs get adopted. D．To draw public attention to animal care. 2．What was a problem facing Thiago and his dad at the start of the project? A．They were short of bath products. B．The homeless dogs distrusted them. C．People showed no interest in adoption. D．Possible adopters preferred young dogs. 3．Which of the following best describes Thiago? A．Caring. B．Confident. C．Humorous. D．Serious. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Boy Adopts Dogs in Bad Conditions B．Boy Helps Dogs Find a New Home C．Lost Dogs Require Getting Adopted D．Homeless Dogs Move into Shelters 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是十三岁的Thiago努力帮助流浪狗找到新家的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Maybe if he could make the dogs on the street look more attractive, they’d have more chances to be adopted (收养). So he began giving baths to dogs in his spare time. This great idea is what led Thiago to create a project called “Sou de rua mas to limpinho” at the end of 2020.(也许如果他能让街上的狗看起来更有吸引力，它们就会有更多的机会被收养。所以他开始在业余时间给狗洗澡。这个伟大的想法促使Thiago在2020年底创建了一个名为“souderua mas to limpinho”的项目。)”可知，Thiago认为让街上的流浪狗看起来更有吸引力，会帮助它们有更多被收养的机会，这一想法促使他创建了“souderua mas to limpinho”的项目，由此可知，Thiago创建“souderua mas to limpinho”项目的目的是帮助流浪狗被收养。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Before the effort truly took off, Thiago and his dad had to work out how to win the dogs over. “Catching dogs on the street is difficult, since they are always frightened and many have suffered from ill treatment,” Thiago explained.(在努力真正开始之前，Thiago和他的父亲必须想办法赢得狗狗们的支持。Thiago解释说：“在街上抓狗很困难，因为它们总是很害怕，而且很多都受到了虐待。”)”可知，在项目开始前，Thiago与父亲要想办法赢得狗狗们的支持，因为狗狗们很害怕，很多受到过虐待，由此可知，在项目开始前，他们面对的问题是狗狗们不信任他们。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据尾段中的“In addition to bathing them, Thiago started adding little accessories (配饰) to the dogs, such as little hair pins, to really increase their chances of adoption. The boy’s dad also took pictures of the dogs and posted them online, pointing any possible adopters to the nearby shelters (收容所).(除了给它们洗澡，Thiago开始给狗狗们添加小配件，比如小发夹，以增加它们被收养的机会。小男孩的父亲还拍下了狗狗的照片，并发布在网上，指出任何可能的收养者都可以去附近的收容所。)”可知，为了增加狗狗们被收养的机会，Thiago除了给它们洗澡外，还弄些小配饰装饰一下，由此可知，小男孩为了流浪给被收养做出很多的努力，所以，他是一个很有爱心的孩子。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。根据首段“Every dog should have a loving home, and thanks to a 13-year-old boy named Thiago, many are now closer to finding one.(每只狗都应该有一个温馨的家，多亏了一个名叫Thiago的13岁男孩，许多狗现在离找到一个家更近了一步。)”可知，一个名叫Thiago小男孩帮助流浪狗找到新家更近了一步，结合下文中讲述的Thiago为增加流浪狗被收养的机会而做出的努力可知，本文讲述的是一个小男孩帮助流浪狗找新家的故事，所以本文的标题为“男孩帮助狗狗找新家”与文章内容一致，且概括了本文的主题。故选B项。 （十四） （23-24高一下 陕西西安市第八十五中学 期末） Located deep in the mountains of Chongyang county of Hubei province, the Qingshan Reservoir(水库)looks like a river with many twists and turns. For Wang Zhijun, a primary school teacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle(障碍)to be overcome. He doubles as a ferryman to help students shuttle(往返)back and forth via boat. A recent video of Wang went viral on social media and moved many. He became a teacher at the primary school in Panshan village in 1995. With water in three directions, the village occupies a sort of peninsula(半岛), even though it’s high on Qingshan Mountain. Wang travels 500 meters of mountain roads to carry water to the school for the students. He rows a boat to pick them up for school, and then he takes them home afterward. Wang said he had suffered many falls with the water buckets, but the ferry trips have always been safe. With development of the local economy, Panshan Primary School merged with(与……结合)the Chichong Primary School on the opposite bank of the reservoir in 2017. Wang could drive to pick up most of the students, but a few depend on his boat. He said he had been given several opportunities to get out of the area for better career development, but he felt responsible for the kids and stayed. Panshan and Chichong villages together have more than 1,000 residents. Wang is proud that 40 of his students eventually entered college. “My ultimate dream is to send them out from the mountains through education,” Wang said.

He rows a boat to pick them up for school, and then he takes them home afterward. Wang said he had suffered many falls with the water buckets, but the ferry trips have always been safe.”（王走了500米山路为学生们送水到学校。他划船去接他们上学，然后带他们回家。王说，他用水桶摔了很多次，但渡船一直都很安全。）及第七段“He said he had been given several opportunities to get out of the area for better career development, but he felt responsible for the kids and stayed.”（他说，为了更好的职业发展，他得到了几个离开该地区的机会，但他觉得自己对孩子们有责任，所以留下来了。）可知，王志军给学生送水并送学生安全地上学和回家体现了他的体贴，他为了学生的发展放弃了自己的发展机会体现了他的奉献精神。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“For Wang Zhijun, a primary school teacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle(障碍)to be overcome.

Dr. Martin Jocker at the University of New South Wales said the bole usually began forming at the end of September, peaking in October before closing in November or December. The ozone hole is an annual thinning of the strutosphere’s ozone layer, which has a high concentration of ozone. The hole has been “recovering” over time and ozone levels over the Antarctic are expected to return to 1980 levels by 2066. The development of the ozone hole in 2023 was not adventitious. The ozone hole is usually smaller during El Niño years, but the model of Jucker suggested it would be larger than usual in 2023 due to the undersea Tonga volcanic explosion in 2022, which was likely to have an impact on the ozone layer in the years following. In early August, the formation was about average for the day of the year. This increased rapidly in the next few days, producing one of the largest observed ozone holes for the time of year. The explosion of the Tonga volcano brought a large amount of water vapour (蒸气) into the stratosphere. “It was about 150 megatonnes. A factor of about three times more water vapour than we usually have,” said Jucker. Ice clouds form in the stratosphere when there is more water vapour than usual, allowing tiny ozone-destructing substances to gather there. Jucker said he was concerned about the impact of the hole on Antarctic sea ice, which has been at record low levels. 1．What do we know about the Antarctic ozone hole? A．It happens every year. B．It keeps at a balanced level. C．It tends to worsen annually. D．It remains the largest on record. 2．What does the underlined word “adventitious” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Reasonable. B．Unsettled. C．Rare. D．Unexpected. 3．What is the result of the Tonga volcanic explosion according to the last paragraph? A．The disappearance of ozone. B．The atmospheric changes. C．The decrease of water vapour. D．The formation of destructive substances. 4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Stratosphere Faces New Threats B．Ozone Levels Are Changing Continuously C．Ozone Hole Forms Earlier Than Usual D．Volcanic Explosion Produces Global Effect 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是由于汤加海底火山的爆发引起大气变化，2023年南极洲上空臭氧空洞提前出现。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The ozone hole is an annual thinning of the strutosphere’s ozone layer, which has a high concentration of ozone.(臭氧空洞是臭氧浓度很高的结构层臭氧层每年变薄的现象)”可知，南极臭氧空洞每年都会发生，故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“The ozone hole is usually smaller during El Niño years, but the model of Jucker suggested it would be larger than usual in 2023 due to the undersea Tonga volcanic explosion in 2022, which was likely to have an impact on the ozone layer in the years following.(在厄尔尼诺年期间，臭氧空洞通常较小，但Jucker的模型显示，由于2022年汤加海底火山爆发，2023年臭氧空洞将比平时更大，这可能会在接下来的几年里对臭氧层产生影响)”可知，2023年的臭氧空洞的发展是提前预料到的，也就是不是偶然发生的，因此画线词的含义为“偶然发生的，非计划中的”，和unexpected意思相近，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The explosion of the Tonga volcano brought a large amount of water vapour (蒸气) into the stratosphere. “It was about 150 megatonnes. A factor of about three times more water vapour than we usually have,” said Jucker. Ice clouds form in the stratosphere when there is more water vapour than usual, allowing tiny ozone-destructing substances to gather there.(汤加火山的爆发将大量的水蒸气带入了平流层。“大约有1.5亿吨。大约是我们通常拥有的水蒸气的三倍，”Jucker说。当水蒸气比平时多的时候，平流层就会形成冰云，使得破坏臭氧层的微小物质聚集在那里)”可知，火山喷发向平流层排放大量水蒸气，当平流层中的水蒸气比平常多时，会形成冰云，破坏臭氧层的微粒会在那里聚集。由此可推知，汤加火山爆发引起了大气的变化。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The hole in the ozone layer, one layer of the stratosphere (平流层), began to form over Antarctica in August 2023, causing warnings that a larger-than-average hole could further warm the Southern Ocean while the level of Antarctic sea ice is at a record low. Dr. Martin Jocker at the University of New South Wales said the bole usually began forming at the end of September, peaking in October before closing in November or December.(平流层的臭氧层空洞于2023年8月开始在南极洲上空形成，有人警告说，一个比平均水平更大的空洞可能会进一步使南大洋变暖，而南极海冰的水平处于历史最低水平。新南威尔士大学的Martin Jocker博士说，这个洞通常在9月底开始形成，在10月达到顶峰，然后在11月或12月关闭)”可知，本文在首段讲到臭氧空洞通常在九月底开始形成，但2023年提前了，在八月份就开始形成了。接着，作者围绕该话题介绍了臭氧空洞的特点、对这种现象的研究以及这种现象的成因等。故C项“Ozone Hole Forms Earlier Than Usual(臭氧空洞比平常形成得更早)”适合作标题。故选C。 （十六） （23-24高一下·陕西安康·期末） As the oldest of three children, I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids. Instead, Mom got my wardrobe (全部衣物) from neighborhood mothers. Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing. Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned, Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation. But situations do change. That opportunity came after high school when I joined the Navy. The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life, and the GI Bill gave me a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career choices finally lifted me into the middle class. One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me. I could tell he didn’t recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor (折磨者). His words were short, but I’ll never forget them. He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?” The tables had turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir”. While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two-word reply: “Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge (复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him. 1．Where did the author usually get his clothes as a kid? A．His mom bought them for him. B．They were from other families. C．Other poor kids collected them for him. D．They were handed down by his brothers. 2．Which word best describes the author’s childhood? A．Painful. B．Funny. C．Strange. D．Lucky. 3．What job did Charlie probably do? A．A hairdresser. B．A waiter. C．A soldier. D．A cook. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Live your own dream B．Best memories in childhood C．Don’t hate but love your enemy D．Grow up and let it go 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了小时候查理折磨了作者的童年，他很恨查理，长大后遇到了做服务生的查理，作者本想报复查理，但是最终选择了放手，好好利用生活给自己的新机会。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“As the oldest of three children, I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids. Instead, Mom got my wardrobe from neighborhood mothers.(作为三个孩子中年龄最大的一个，我从来没有像其他穷孩子那样穿任何旧衣服。相反，妈妈从邻居的妈妈那里得到了我的全部衣物)”可知，作者小时候经常从其他家庭得到衣服。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing.(想象一下其他孩子看到我穿着他们的旧衣服时的乐趣吧)”以及第二段“During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.(在那些年里，我慢慢学会了仇恨。我恨查理，但我也恨自己不能改变我的处境)”可知，作者感觉自己的童年是痛苦不堪的。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie.(一个美丽的夏日下午，我和朋友在杰克逊牛排馆庆祝星期五。这是近二十年来我第一次见到查理)”以及“He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?”(他说：“先生，你的沙拉要什么调味品？”)”可知，作者在牛排馆里遇见查理时，查理作为服务生询问作者需要什么调味品。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.(我恨查理，但我也恨自己不能改变我的处境)”以及最后一段“As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge, I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me.(虽然我很想尝到复仇的甜蜜滋味，但我拒绝了这样做。我不会让别人经历我小时候所经历的一切。是时候把幼稚的事情抛诸脑后，利用生活给我的新机会了)”可知，小时候查理折磨了作者的童年，他很恨查理，成年后遇到了做服务生的查理，作者本想报复查理，但是最终选择了放手，好好利用生活给自己的新机会，所以“长大吧，放手吧”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
