专题01 阅读理解应用文 （一） （辽宁省本溪市重点高中协作体2023-2024高一下期末试题） Trees communicate. They migrate. They protect. They heal. This year for Arbor Day finds our favorite fiction, nonfiction books relating to trees. The Overstory by Richard Powers, 2018 The Overstory begins with the nine characters whose lives will come together as the fiction unfolds. Their stories set the stage for a tale about a few environmentalists who are determined to protect an old forest. Richard Powers pulls you into their lives and fills you with astonishing facts about trees. Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard, 2021 Finding the Mother Tree describes Simard's research on cooperation and coexistence in the forest. “Trees in a forest are often linked to each other via an older tree called a ‘mother’ tree,” Simard said. “And the old trees would help the little seedlings survive at crucial times.” Twelve Trees by Daniel Lewis, 2024 There are tens of thousands of tree species on Earth, but writer Daniel Lewis focused in on just a dozen in his book, Twelve Trees. Lewis believes trees and people have more in common than you might think. “These twelve trees reflect aspects of ourselves. We coexist with them, and thus have a responsibility to understand them better.” The Tree Doctor by Marie Mutsuki Mockett, 2024 A woman helps tend her mother's garden, leading her to confirm what she already knows: Her life as a wife and mother has caused her to ignore herself, and she must prioritize saving herself even more urgently than caring for her mother's flowers. The Tree Doctor is an excellent novel, showing one woman's response to life-changing crises. 1．Which book emphasizes the similarities between trees and humans? A．The Overstory by Richard Powers.

Women have made numerous contributions throughout history, leaving an ever-lasting impact on society. Here are three things that were the brainchildren of women. Spray-on skin by Dr Fiona Wood Dr Fiona Wood introduced spray-on skin to the world in the 1990s. This changed the way in which burn victims used to be treated, as spray-on skin can be directly applied to wounds to form a new layer of skin that helps healing and reduces the risk of infection. Spray-on skin proved to be a popular game-changer that allowed burns and skin injuries to be treated more effectively and with less pain, and with Dr Wood’s constant improvements over the years, is now widely used in hospitals. Modern ironing beard by Sarah Boone Would you believe that clothing used to be ironed on wooden pieces balanced between chairs? It wasn’t until dressmaker Sarah Boone came along that the modern ironing board was created in 1892. Though it seems like a simple invention, Boone put a lot of thought into it. Apart from solving the initial problem of uneven ironing, Boone also made the ironing board’s legs foldable for ease of storage. Home security system by Marie Van Brittan Brown If you have a home security system installed (安装) for peace of mind, you have Marie Van Brittan Brown to thank. Brown had worked as a nurse and often went home alone at late hours. To give herself a sense of security, she worked on the first home security system with Albert Brown, her husband. Brown’s invention laid the groundwork for modern-day CCTV, including camera images and a two-way microphone system. Needless to say, this invention was ahead of its time and yet another product of necessity. 1．What is spray-on skin used for? A．To improve victims’ health condition. B．To treat burns and skin injuries. C．To prevent skin from being injured. D．To clean and cool down the burns. 2．Which words can best describe these inventions? A．Practical and well-thought. B．Digital and effective. C．Tech-based and affordable. D．Complicated and widely-used. 3．What is the purpose of this text? A．To highlight advanced inventions. B．To encourage pioneering inventions.

Women have made numerous contributions throughout history, leaving an ever-lasting impact on society. Here are three things that were the brainchildren of women. Spray-on skin by Dr Fiona Wood Dr Fiona Wood introduced spray-on skin to the world in the 1990s. This changed the way in which burn victims used to be treated, as spray-on skin can be directly applied to wounds to form a new layer of skin that helps healing and reduces the risk of infection. Spray-on skin proved to be a popular game-changer that allowed burns and skin injuries to be treated more effectively and with less pain, and with Dr Wood’s constant improvements over the years, is now widely used in hospitals. Modern ironing beard by Sarah Boone Would you believe that clothing used to be ironed on wooden pieces balanced between chairs? It wasn’t until dressmaker Sarah Boone came along that the modern ironing board was created in 1892. Though it seems like a simple invention, Boone put a lot of thought into it. Apart from solving the initial problem of uneven ironing, Boone also made the ironing board’s legs foldable for ease of storage. Home security system by Marie Van Brittan Brown If you have a home security system installed (安装) for peace of mind, you have Marie Van Brittan Brown to thank. Brown had worked as a nurse and often went home alone at late hours. To give herself a sense of security, she worked on the first home security system with Albert Brown, her husband. Brown’s invention laid the groundwork for modern-day CCTV, including camera images and a two-way microphone system. Needless to say, this invention was ahead of its time and yet another product of necessity. 1．What is spray-on skin used for? A．To improve victims’ health condition.
