专题01 阅读理解之应用文（原卷版） （一） （2023-2024高二下河南省驻马店市期末试题） June is around the corner, meaning summer is almost here! we’ve asked our book critics for some advice: What upcoming fiction and nonfiction are they most looking forward to reading? Here’s a look: Daughter of the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelope I was hooked when I first saw the gorgeous cover for Daughter of the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelope. But the novel’s premise put it at the top of my summer reading list. Penelope is known for unforgettable characters, world—building, beautiful writing and robust Storytelling. Her latest work, inspired by actual events —the drowned Black towns of the American South —promises a magical, mythical and powerful tale of a young woman’s quest to save her town. A historical fantasy must—read. (July 4)—Denny Bryce The Lucky Ones by Zara Chowdhary In 2002, two train carriages were set on fire in Gujarat, India. Within three weeks, more than 2, 000 Muslims were murdered in response by Hindu mobs. By the end of the year, more than 50, 000 Muslims became refugees in their own country. The Lucky Ones is a unique biography in English of this largest—ever massacre in independent India. It is also about a communal crisis bringing a fractured family together. A must—read in our warring world today. (July 16)—Jenny Bhatt Liars by Sarah Manguso I have long been a fan of Sarah Manguso’s crystalline prose, from her fragmented illness biography The Two Kinds of Decay to her tightly constrained 2022 novel Very Cold People. Her second novel, Liars, marries restraint with rage—in it, Manguso traces the full are of a 15-year relationship between Jane, a successful writer, and John, a dilettante artist—cum一 techie, in aphoristic vignettes. The result is a furious, propulsive meditation on wifehood, motherhood and artistic ambition. (July 23)—Kristen Martin 1. What is Penelope famous for? A. Using beautiful language. B.

Put less pressure on yourself and invest in a little me-time. Eco Yoga Argyll, Scotland Anyone wishing to holiday without the carbon footprint should seriously consider retreating to Eco Yoga in the dazzling Scottish countryside. You’ll be interested from the start with numerous yoga choices receiving guidance on everything from Ashtanga to Yin and Hatha Yoga FitAgain, Dorset Located in picturesque West Dorset, FitAgain is run by a wife and husband duo (搭档) who now focus on nutrition, adventure-filled exercise and motivational speaking to keep their guests’ minds and bodies alert. “We truly care about the people who come to us so we give them as much help as we can after the retreat. We want to continue their goals when they’re back in their normal busy day-to-day lives, using ongoing three-month support through our FitAgain app,” they said. Wild & Free, Cornwall This women-only retreat aims to reconnect you with the earth while you navigate the waves and calm your mind through yoga, all within the stunning scenery of Cornwall’s coastline. It focuses on “re-wilding” yourself. For a female adventurer who needs a short holiday from her lively career and home life, this trip is a love letter to yourself. It’s a chance to breathe without interruption, explore new activities without judgement, and wholly focus on oneself before returning to daily life. Arvon Writers’ Retreat, Shropshire Every writer fears the sensation of longing to write, but sitting down to do just that and simply losing inspiration. And, as frustrating as this may be, it’s not always the fault of the writer — what’s really needed is a little encouragement and relaxation. Simplicity is the key with this retreat. Delicious meals are provided and are enjoyed with other writers, luxurious yet understated bedrooms will inspire rather than distract and the workshop and library will give you pockets of inventive vision every time you venture in. 4.

Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. Hammes got the idea after watching his wife spend time wrapping food in newspaper and throwing it out. The InSinkErator is a device, put under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain (排水管)and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter(直径) —to pass through the drains. Surgical Gloves William Stewart Halsted, M. D．(1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict insistence to sterile(无菌的) working conditions, Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs(细菌)during their work. Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin diseuse during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage. Band-Aids When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson &Johnson, according to the company’s website, decided to invent a temporary adhesive (有黏性的) bandage for his wife. His creation became the Band-Aid we all know and use today. Magnetic (有磁性的)Shirt Buttons Maura Horton’s husband, Don, was a football coach who had Parkinson’s disease. One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people suffering from a disability. So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012. These buttons will finally allow everyone to dress and undress themselves efficiently. 10．What’s the function of the InSinkErator? A．It can clear sink pipes. B．It can recycle kitchen waste. C．It can remove food waste easily. D．It can extend the service life of sinks. 11．For whom did William invent surgical gloves? A．A nurse. B．The patient. C．The surgeons D．His colleagues. 12．Which is the latest invention? A．The InSinkErator B．Band-Aids C．Surgical Gloves. D．Magnetic Shirt Buttons. （五） （2023-2024高二下河南省许昌市期末试题） Visit the New York Botanical Garden The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) is an advocate for the plant world.

Remarkable scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can’t always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants. The Rock, Zanzibar On an enormous boulder (巨石) off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. At low tide (潮汐), customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they’re greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the “floating restaurant”, is available for weddings and other small group events. The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines Striking waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, is different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of the falls. Guests dine on authentic (地道的) Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience. The Grotto, Thailand The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand’s Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience.

Here’s our ranked list of the top travel experiences right now. Gallery hop in São Paulo São Paulo, Brazil’s largest city holds numerous galleries and exhibitions. The crowning jewel is the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), which is expanding to showcase more of its 11,000-plus artworks, from pre-Renaissance paintings to contemporary sculptures. Breaking the tradition of the usual model of exhibiting works on walls, MASP hangs some pieces against clear panels, allowing visitors to view the art from all angles. Ride classic rails in Scotland Exploring Scotland’s wild, scenic Highlands doesn’t have to mean roughing it. Departing Edinburgh from April through October, the elegant Royal Scotsman train leads to Highlands adventures such as wild swimming, hiking, and delicacy tasting. After a day spent hiking to waterfalls or playing rounds of golf—a sport tied to the nation, guests can wind down with a massage (按摩) at the onboard. Dive with sharks in Western Australia Stretching almost 700 miles along the Indian Ocean, Western Australia’s Coral Coast is decorated with natural wonders. But Ningaloo Reef is the star. Here, you can div e with giants: Some 300 to 500 whale sharks, one of the largest groups on Earth, gather along the reef (礁) each year between March and July. Decent agencies secure divers and ensure they give the sharks space, avoid feeding them or using flash photography. Hike a glacier (冰川) in Chile Chile has the third largest continental ice extension, after only Antarctica and Greenland. In Laguna San Rafael National Park, visitors can hike to glaciers. Some 17,300 glaciers still cover the whole of Patagonia’s ice fields, but rising temperatures are rapidly melting them.

But the novel’s premise put it at the top of my summer reading list. Penelope is known for unforgettable characters, world—building, beautiful writing and robust Storytelling. Her latest work, inspired by actual events —the drowned Black towns of the American South —promises a magical, mythical and powerful tale of a young woman’s quest to save her town. A historical fantasy must—read. (July 4)—Denny Bryce The Lucky Ones by Zara Chowdhary In 2002, two train carriages were set on fire in Gujarat, India. Within three weeks, more than 2, 000 Muslims were murdered in response by Hindu mobs. By the end of the year, more than 50, 000 Muslims became refugees in their own country. The Lucky Ones is a unique biography in English of this largest—ever massacre in independent India. It is also about a communal crisis bringing a fractured family together. A must—read in our warring world today. (July 16)—Jenny Bhatt Liars by Sarah Manguso I have long been a fan of Sarah Manguso’s crystalline prose, from her fragmented illness biography The Two Kinds of Decay to her tightly constrained 2022 novel Very Cold People. Her second novel, Liars, marries restraint with rage—in it, Manguso traces the full are of a 15-year relationship between Jane, a successful writer, and John, a dilettante artist—cum一 techie, in aphoristic vignettes. The result is a furious, propulsive meditation on wifehood, motherhood and artistic ambition. (July 23)—Kristen Martin 1. What is Penelope famous for? A. Using beautiful language. B.

Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. Hammes got the idea after watching his wife spend time wrapping food in newspaper and throwing it out. The InSinkErator is a device, put under a kitchen sink between the sink’s drain (排水管)and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter(直径) —to pass through the drains. Surgical Gloves William Stewart Halsted, M. D．(1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict insistence to sterile(无菌的) working conditions, Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs(细菌)during their work. Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin diseuse during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage. Band-Aids When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. Dickson, a cotton buyer for Johnson &Johnson, according to the company’s website, decided to invent a temporary adhesive (有黏性的) bandage for his wife. His creation became the Band-Aid we all know and use today. Magnetic (有磁性的)Shirt Buttons Maura Horton’s husband, Don, was a football coach who had Parkinson’s disease. One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people suffering from a disability. So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012. These buttons will finally allow everyone to dress and undress themselves efficiently. 10．What’s the function of the InSinkErator? A．It can clear sink pipes. B．It can recycle kitchen waste. C．It can remove food waste easily. D．It can extend the service life of sinks. 11．For whom did William invent surgical gloves? A．A nurse. B．The patient. C．The surgeons D．His colleagues. 12．Which is the latest invention? A．The InSinkErator B．Band-Aids C．Surgical Gloves. D．Magnetic Shirt Buttons. 【答案】10．C 11．A 12．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种发明，这四种发明都是源于发明人对伴侣的爱。 10．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“T The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter(直径) —to pass through the drains.(该处理装置将食物垃圾撕成足够小的碎片，通常直径小于2毫米，以便通过管道。)”可知，InSinkErator用来将食物垃圾撕成足够小的碎片，以便更轻松地清除食物垃圾。故选C。 11．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Knowing Caroline, a nurse, suffered from a skin diseuse during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage. (得知护士Caroline在工作中患有皮肤病后，Halsted特意为她发明了这副手套，并在婚后送给她作为礼物。)”可知，手术手套最初是Halsted特意为他作护士工作的妻子发明的。故选A。 12．细节理解题。根据这四种发明的发明时间：根据最后一段“So, Horton designed a shirt with magnetic buttons in 2012.(因此，Horton在2012年设计了一款带有磁性纽扣的衬衫。)”可知，选项A“Magnetic shirt buttons.(磁性衬衫纽扣)”的发明时间为2012年；根据第二段“William Stewart Halsted, M. D. (1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the “Father of Modern Surgery”. ( William Stewart Halsted医学博士(1852-1922)是美国著名的外科医生，常被称为“现代外科之父”。)”可推断，选项B“Surgical Gloves(手术手套)”的发明时间为1852到1922之间；根据第一段“John W. Hammes, an architect from Wisconsin, created the InSinkErator in 1935. (来自威斯康星州的建筑师John W. Hammes于1935年设计了InSinkErator。)”可知，选项C“The InSinkErator.”发明于1935年；根据文章第三段“When Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s, her husband, Earle Dickson, stepped in. ( 20世纪20年代，新泽西州的Josephine Knight Dickson在为家人做饭时不断割伤自己，她的丈夫Earle Dickson介入了。)”可知，选项D“Band-Aids.”发明于20世纪20年代。由此判断，四种发明中，最新发明是Magnetic Shirt Buttons。故选A。 （五） （2023-2024高二下河南省许昌市期末试题） Visit the New York Botanical Garden The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) is an advocate for the plant world.

Here’s our ranked list of the top travel experiences right now. Gallery hop in São Paulo São Paulo, Brazil’s largest city holds numerous galleries and exhibitions. The crowning jewel is the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), which is expanding to showcase more of its 11,000-plus artworks, from pre-Renaissance paintings to contemporary sculptures. Breaking the tradition of the usual model of exhibiting works on walls, MASP hangs some pieces against clear panels, allowing visitors to view the art from all angles. Ride classic rails in Scotland Exploring Scotland’s wild, scenic Highlands doesn’t have to mean roughing it. Departing Edinburgh from April through October, the elegant Royal Scotsman train leads to Highlands adventures such as wild swimming, hiking, and delicacy tasting. After a day spent hiking to waterfalls or playing rounds of golf—a sport tied to the nation, guests can wind down with a massage (按摩) at the onboard. Dive with sharks in Western Australia Stretching almost 700 miles along the Indian Ocean, Western Australia’s Coral Coast is decorated with natural wonders. But Ningaloo Reef is the star. Here, you can div e with giants: Some 300 to 500 whale sharks, one of the largest groups on Earth, gather along the reef (礁) each year between March and July. Decent agencies secure divers and ensure they give the sharks space, avoid feeding them or using flash photography. Hike a glacier (冰川) in Chile Chile has the third largest continental ice extension, after only Antarctica and Greenland. In Laguna San Rafael National Park, visitors can hike to glaciers. Some 17,300 glaciers still cover the whole of Patagonia’s ice fields, but rising temperatures are rapidly melting them. Climate scientists say sustainable tourism, such as hikes, supports local communities and inspires travelers to learn more about how to protect glaciers. 31. What is special about MASP? A.

What makes the Royal Scotsman train journey attractive? A. An easy access to a private golf course. B. A strict no-massage policy at the onboard. C. A rough and challenging travel experience. D. A combination of adventure and relaxation. 33. What do the last two adventures have in common? A. They are limited to a specific season. B. There are shark groups in both places. C. They bring attention to ecological issues. D. They are concerned with climate changes. 【答案】31. B 32. D 33.
