Her skin bore the intricate tapestry of a rare condition, a mosaic of scars and blemishes that danced across her face like a testament to the trials she had endured. Yet, within this canvas of imperfections, Lily’s heart radiated a warmth that enveloped all who crossed her path in a tender embrace. One fateful afternoon, as the sun descended in a cascade of golden hues, Lily’s path intertwined with that of Lucas, a young man whose world was veiled in eternal darkness. Drawn by the angelic voice of Lily and the kindness that exuded from her very being, Lucas found comfort in her presence.

Though his eyes could not behold the physical scars that adorned Lily’s form, his heart beheld the true essence of her being — a luminous spirit that lightened the darkest corners of his world.

Darwin’s childhood passion was science, and his interest in chemistry, however, was clear; he was even nicknamed ‘Gas’ by his classmates. In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants. Darwin became passionate about natural history and this became his focus while he studied at Cambridge. Darwin went on a voyage together with Robert Fitzroy, the captain of HMS Beagle, to South America to facilitate British trade in Patagonia. The journey was life-changing. Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants, animals and rocks, which helped him to develop an understanding of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface. Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time. Darwin’s work convinced him that natural selection was key to understanding the development of the natural world. The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive when they inherit (经遗传获得) characteristics best suited for that specific environment. These features then become more widespread and can lead eventually to the development of a new species. With natural selection, Darwin argued how a wide variety of life forms developed over time from a single common ancestor. Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, in 1839. When Darwin’s eldest daughter, Annie, died from a sudden illness in 1851, he lost his belief in God. His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856. Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. Darwin had previously thought that species remained adapted until the environment changed; he now believed that every new variation was imperfect and that a struggle to survive was what drove species to adapt. Though rejected at the beginning, Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is nowadays well accepted by the scientific community as the best evidence-based explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth. The Natural History Museum’s library alone has 478 editions of his On the Origin of Species in 38 languages. 1．What made Darwin reconsider the origin and development of species? A．Examining plants and animals collected. B．His desire for a voyage to different continents. C．Classifying samples in a journey to South America. D．His passion for natural history at Edinburgh University. 2．We can learn from paragraphs 1 to 3 that Darwin ________. A．used natural selection to develop new species B．enjoyed being called nicknames related to science C．learned some knowledge about plants when studying medicine D．argued with others over the diversity of life forms for a long period 3．Which of the following changed Darwin’s view on the human species? A．That he had ten children in all. B．His youngest son’s being disabled. C．That he lost his eldest daughter. D．His marriage with Emma Wedgwood. 4．This passage is mainly about ________. A．Darwin’s passion for medical science B．Darwin’s theory and experiments C．Charles Darwin’s changing interest D．Charles Darwin’s life and work (22-23高一下·上海建平中学·期末) The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench: now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. Looking over her shoulder, Piya spotted a tea-seller on the platform. Reaching through the bars of the window, she called him with a wave. She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home. She paid for her tea and was trying to get in the cup through the bars when the man in the seat opposite her own suddenly turned over a page, jolting her hand. She turned her wrist quickly enough to make sure that most of the tea spilled out of the window, but she could not prevent some from spilling over his papers. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” Piya was very embarrassed: of everyone in the compartment, this was the last person she would have chosen to injure with her tea. She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places. “Here,” said Piya, producing a handful of tissues. “Let me help you clean up.” “There’s nothing to be done,” he said testily (暴躁地). “These pages are ruined anyway.” For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand. But all she could bring herself to say was, “I’m very sorry. I hope you’ll excuse me.” “Do I really have a choice?” he said. “Does anyone have a choice when they’re dealing with Americans these days?” Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?” “About what?” “About my being American? You’re very observant.” This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat. “I didn’t guess,” he said. “I knew.” 1．In the first paragraph, Piya was relieved when she got a window seat because it meant that_________. A．there was more room for her luggage B．she no longer had to suffer from a lack of air C．there was less chance that she would miss her stop D．she didn’t have to stand for the rest of the train journey 2．Piya found that the tea or chai she had drunk in India ________. A．was disappointingly weak in taste B．reminded her of her home in Seattle C．would have tasted better if served fresh D．was preferable to the chai she had had before 3．When Piya first saw the man she thought that ________. A．he was someone who was observant of surroundings B．he seemed to think he was better than other people C．he had tried to keep his distance from his fellow passengers D．he had been looking for someone he knew on the station platform 4．Piya asked “But how did you guess?” in order to _________. A．find out what the man really thought about Americans B．try to calm the situation down by starting a conversation C．ensure the man realized that she had apologized D．make sure the man knew he was being rude (23-24高一下·上海黄浦区·期末) Some things we cannot copy where I live. We will never celebrate Christmas inside a picture postcard. We have no winter wonderland, though once, inspired by a snowfall seen on the black-and-white television, I did collect some ice from the inside of the freezer to throw at my brother. By the time I got to him, all I had was a handful of rain. What we do have is electricity. As long as the Tennessee Valley Authority can light up the southern night with strands of color, shining from every house and mobile home, they can have their white Christmas. I have seen lights wrapped around mailbox posts. In the country, you need a whole lot of extension cord (电缆) to electrify a mailbox. I have seen them strung across the Peterbilt trucks. My mother never takes down her lights, strung on a cedar beam (雪松木梁) in the living room, though she does unplug them. The rich folks have switched to white lights, a lot of them, to be elegant. But it will always be lights of color, shining through a night which smells of woodsmoke, that mean Christmas to me. I find it especially hard not to live in the past at this time of year, when I would do anything to see the world like a child again. It is why I fill the refrigerator every December with chocolate-covered cherries and watch, for the hundredth time, those 50-year-old Christmas specials about Santa Claus. It is important that some things stay the same — that, at some point this season, someone will say, “We’re going to look at Christmas lights. Do you want to come?” I go sometimes and sometimes just say no. It is enough to know someone is going. I have a fine memory of the lights; I do not want it to grow less than it was by putting on it new lights bought at Walmart. 1．What is the primary feature that the author values about Christmas in their location? A．Snow-covered landscapes. B．Traditional winter wonderland scenes. C．Colorful Christmas lights. D．Cedar beams in living rooms. 2．By saying “What we do have is electricity.”, the author means electricity can _______. A．bring convenience to his life B．create a Christmas atmosphere C．generate warmth in harsh winter D．save cord to power a mailbox 3．How do the rich folks differ from others in terms of Christmas lights? A．They prefer white lights for elegance. B．They use fewer lights for simplicity. C．They avoid using extension cords. D．They rely on woodsmoke for lighting. 4．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．He takes delight in bidding farewell to the past. B．He gets fed up with looking at Christmas lights. C．He dislikes the color options available at Walmart. D．He feels relieved that Christmas lights tradition is preserved. (23-24高一下·上海世外中学·期末) Peterson Moturi journeyed to Nairobi, Kenya in 2014 to find a better life for himself. Initially, he would sell drinking water and groundnuts, as well as working as a car wash attendant before becoming a watchman for night duties. Since his goal was to join law school, he saved Kes 50, 000, which he used to pay for his admission to law school. He applied for admission to the Kenya School of Law (KSL) in 2016 and was successful, but the biggest headache facing him was that he didn’t have enough money to pay his fees. Fortunately, he got some financial assistance from Mr. PLO Lumumba, who was then the school director and offered him a scholarship. However, Moturi was then faced with the challenging task of working at night and attending class during the day. Unfortunately, when he sat for his final exams, he got a Pass, which could not allow him to move to the next stage, attaining a law degree. That meant he had to score at least a credit and find money to pay for his diploma courses. He decided to approach his employer, Radar Security, for help. He honestly told his boss that he failed and wondered if he could sponsor him for the diploma once again. To his surprise, his boss agreed, and in no time, he was back in class. “Now I am a joyful man. I am graduating with a credit score. I can now go ahead, pursue a law degree and become an advocate,” he said at the graduation ceremony. Though dressed in the usual graduation regalia (礼服), Moturi somehow appeared different from his colleagues due to the security guard uiform he wore underneath.

(22-23高一下·上海浦东新区·期末) When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the people at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this world would be. At school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then, why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make our actions reflect your words.” I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励)action. Now, ten years from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken. When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices - education, career, lifestyle - life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren’t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy on sustainable way of living. And we are leaning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and innocent. Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change. 1．The purpose of what the speaker said at the age of 12 was to ________. A．end poverty and make school beautiful B．end poverty and solve the problems about environment C．find a wonderful place and clean it up D．find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves 2．What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to ________. A．a long period of laughing B．a warm welcome C．a long period of clapping and applauses D．an expression used for greeting 3．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．the writer thinks what he thought at the age of 12 is mature. B．the writer’s children will certainly live in an ideal environment. C．the writer’s confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice. D．the writer’s belief does not change when he grows up. (23-24高一下·上海建平中学·期末) A Pilgrimage to Mont Blanc It was on a grey winter’s day in my parents’ house outside Glasgow that I first suggested Mont Blanc in summer. I knew I should make more effort to spend time with my 74-year-old dad, but what I was proposing at his age was a risk. A ten-day hike around one of Europe’s highest mountains seemed a little extreme. “Old age doesn’t come alone,” he replied, implying the memory loss from a recent life-threatening stroke. Yet, to stir memory in long-forgotten footprints seemed like the right thing to do. We booked a flight, and four months later, arrived in the shadow of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, France. That first sunlit afternoon, it was instantly obvious that we had made the right decision. The pathway ahead was quiet. Quick-footed hikers walked past us, eyes focused on a ridge (山脊) that marched south to the Italian border. But there was no sign of worry on my hiking partner’s brow. Only determination. My dad’s accounts of his time in the mountains remain among the defining stories of my childhood. The first time it left its mark on me was when I uncovered a junk box full of projector slides taken in the summer of 1970, when he and two of his friends completed a previously untried route up the overwhelmingly dangerous North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland. That was now more than half his lifetime ago. And, yet, here we were, marching side by side around the Mont Blanc, tracing an invisible route with our fingers over the same harsh summits he had conquered long ago. What I had always seen as an obsession with the mountains revealed itself to be a bond that I never knew we had. By the end of the week, I sensed we may have achieved what we both had thought impossible. We made our final push towards the Col du Brévent above the Chamonix valley. We climbed up into a narrow world of stone, meeting Mont Blanc face on. To capture the moment, I took a photo, but only then did it dawn on me that it was nearly the same composition as on a slide I had first seen in one of those junk boxes. There was that smile, those eyes fixed on the horizon, the beautiful Alpine ridges of Mont Blanc crowding out the background. For a split second, it looked as if nothing had changed. 1．According to the article, what mainly motivated the author to take his father on a hike around Mont Blanc? A．His father’s old age and poor health. B．His father’s memory loss from a stroke. C．His dream of traveling with his father again. D．His wish to visit one of Europe’s highest mountains. 2．What can we learn about the hike around Mont Blanc from the article? A．They passed through three countries in ten days. B．The author’s father was initially confident of doing it. C．It changed the author’s attitude towards his father’s hobby. D．It brought back the pleasant memories of the author’s father. 3．According to the article, which of the following best describes the author’s father? A．A hopeless patient. B．An adventurous climber. C．A responsible father. D．An appreciative photographer. 4．What did the author realize after taking the family picture? A．It was never too late to accompany his father. B．He and his father changed with time passing by. C．Everything changes with time except the mountains. D．The father’s passion for the mountains didn’t fade with age. (23-24高一下·上海浦东东昌中学·期末) When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee. 74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlic’s aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job, and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired. Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves in an electric oven, and, after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags. “My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.” “The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee. If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, Iwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen($2.8). 1．Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word“blunder”in the second paragraph? A．mistake B．show C．mixture D．brand 2．Who is not suitable to drink garlic coffee? A．A woman bearing a baby. B．A student having trouble with sleep. C．A cleaner working on a day shift. D．A young lady sick of garlic. 3．Which of the following is not characteristic of garlic coffee? A．It is caffeine-free. B．Garlic powder dissolves in water. C．The burnt garlic creates bitterness. D．It is an improvement on a garlic dish. 4．Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai? A．venturous and greedy B．innovative and perseverant C．hardworking and cautious D．observant and helpful (23-24高一下·上海延安中学·期末) For the past three decades, companies and consumers have benefited from cross — border connections that have helped to maintain a steady supply of electronics, clothes, toys and other goods so abundant that it has managed to keep prices low across the board. However, as the pandemic and the Russia — Ukraine conflict continue to weigh on trade and business ties, that period of plenty appears to be undergoing a partial reversal. Companies are rethinking where to source their products and are stockpiling inventory (库存), even at the potential cost of lowering their efficiency and increasing their operation expense. If the situation lasts for very long, could have important implications for inflation (通货膨胀) and the world economy. American economists are debating whether recent supply chain troubles and geopolitical conflicts will result in a shake-up of global production, in which factories that had previously been sent offshore or areas with fewer tax regulations, move back to the United States or into other more stable countries. If this happens, a decades-long decline in the prices of many goods could come to an end. We may even witness a slide backwards, meaning a potential boost in prices and overall inflation as a result. The period of global integration before the pandemic made many of the things Americans buy cheaper. Computers and other forms of technology made factories more efficient, and they rolled out sneakers, kitchen tables, and electronics at a pace unmatched in history. Companies slashed their production costs by moving factories offshore, where wages were lower. The adoption of steel shipping containers and ever larger cargo ships allowed products to be transported from Bangladesh and China to Seattle and Tupelo and everywhere in between at astonishingly low prices. Those changes, however, had consequences for American factory workers, who saw many jobs disappear. Katherine Tai, the U. S. trade representative, said that, while American consumers have enjoyed the “luxury” of low prices for imported goods for a long time now, the system upon which it was built has always been a very “fragile” one. Americans are not just consumers, but also workers who have to compete in a global marketplace for talent where globalization “has damaged opportunities and wages for average American workers”. “Some returning is occurring — let’s make no mistake about that.” Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala., the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, said in an interview. But the data shows that most businesses are reducing their risk by building up their inventories and finding additional suppliers in low-cost countries, such as Vietnam and Mexico. This process could end up helping more deeply integtate poorer countries in Africa and other parts of the world into the global value chains, said Dr. Okonjo-Iweala. The intertwined trajectory (轨迹) of globalization, low prices, and inflation on the whole will be closely watched by economists over the years to come. “It would certainly be a different world.” Jerome H. Powel, the chair of the Federal Reserve, said when asked about a possible move away from globalization. “It’s not obvious how dramatically conditions will change,” he said. “But it’s clear that it’s slowed down.” 1．Which of the following best fits the blank in Paragraph 2? A．the trend of global integration B．a shift away from fine-tuned globalization C．the benefit of cheap and plenty goods D．an upcoming economic crash 2．Which of the following statement is true about the shake-up of global production? A．A potential decline in prices of goods can be expected. B．American companies may locate their offshore factories in Africa. C．Efficient transportation makes bulk buying convenient for Americans. D．Inflation has a role to play in the shake-up of globalization. 3．What can be inferred from Paragraph 5? A．Katherine Tai takes a neutral position concerning globalization. B．American factory workers face heightened competition from domestic rivals. C．American consumers generally benefited from global integration. D．Exported goods lead to the lower wages of average Americans. 4．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．The Era of Cheap and Plenty May be Ending B．Globalization: Crisis or Opportunities? C．New Winners in the Post-globalization Era D．The Future of Global Economy (22-23高一下·上海曹二附中·期末) As the sun set he remembered, to give himself more confidence, the time in the tavern at Casablanca when he had played the hand game with the great negro from Cienfuegos who was the strongest man on the docks. They had gone one day and one night with their elbows on a chalk line on the table and their forearms straight up and their hands gripped tight. Each one was trying to force the other’s hand down onto the table. There was much betting and people went in and out of the room under the kerosene lights and he had looked at the arm and hand of the negro and at the negro’s face. They changed the referees every four hours after the first eight so that the referees could sleep. Blood came out from under the fingernails of both his and the negro’s hands and they looked each other in the eye and at their hands and forearms and the bettors went in and out of the room and sat on high chairs against the wall and watched. The walls were painted bright blue and were of wood and the lamps threw their shadows against them. The negro’s shadow was huge and it moved on the wall as the breeze moved the lamps. The odds would change back and forth all night and they fed the negro rum and lighted cigarettes for him. Then the negro, after the rum, would try for a tremendous effort and once he had the old man, who was not an old man then but was Santiago El Campeon, nearly three inches off balance. But the old man had raised his hand up to dead even again. He was sure then that he had the negro, who was a fine man and a great athlete, beaten. And at daylight when the bettors were asking that it be called a draw and the referee was shaking his head, he had unleashed his effort and forced the hand of the negro down and down until it rested on the wood. The match had started on a Sunday morning and ended on a Monday morning. Many of the bettors had asked for a draw because they had to go to work on the docks loading sacks of sugar or at the Havana Coal Company. Otherwise everyone would have wanted it to go to a finish. But he had finished it anyway and before anyone had to go to work. For a long time after that everyone had called him The Champion and there had been a return match in the spring. But not much money was bet and he had won it quite easily since he had broken the confidence of the negro from Cienfuegos in the first match. After that he had a few matches and then no more. He decided that he could beat anyone if he wanted to badly enough and he decided that it was bad for his right hand for fishing. He had tried a few practice matches with his left hand. But his left hand had always been a traitor and would not do what he called on it to do and he did not trust it. Quoted from The Old Man and the Sea 1．Since the old man is the main character, in the hand game, why does Hemingway put more efforts in describing his opponent the negro? A．Because Hemingway himself is an anti-racist who wants to support the colored race. B．By doing so, he indirectly shows how strong and determined the old man is to readers. C．He shifts readers’ attention to a new character to neutralize the nervous atmosphere. D．There is no need to describe the old man because he is well-known to all readers. 2．What does the underlined word “unleashed” in paragraph 2 mean? A．spare B．restrict C．reduce D．loose 3．Which of the followings is TRUE according to the passage? A．Many bettors were afraid of losing their money so they wanted to call the game a draw. B．The old man had owed his victory over the negro more to his will than to his strength. C．The referee had been convinced by the bettors that the game be considered a draw D．Regular hand games should be a good practice to enhance the old man’s fishing skills 4．What can be inferred from the whole passage? A．The old man defeated the negro more than once in the matches with his will power B．Many workers working on the docks had showed no respect towards the old man. C．The old man had to self-feed himself a lot so as to stay competitive in the game. D．The negro was not as strong and athletic as the old man had expected him to be. 试卷第14页，共15页 试卷第15页，共15页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 专题04 阅读理解之记叙文（优选上海名校真题） (23-24高一下·上海交大附中·期末) Beauty that can’t be seen In the serene town of Willowbrook resided the young maiden Lily. Her skin bore the intricate tapestry of a rare condition, a mosaic of scars and blemishes that danced across her face like a testament to the trials she had endured. Yet, within this canvas of imperfections, Lily’s heart radiated a warmth that enveloped all who crossed her path in a tender embrace. One fateful afternoon, as the sun descended in a cascade of golden hues, Lily’s path intertwined with that of Lucas, a young man whose world was veiled in eternal darkness. Drawn by the angelic voice of Lily and the kindness that exuded from her very being, Lucas found comfort in her presence. Their friendship blossomed like a delicate flower, each moment spent together a symphony of shared laughter and unspoken understanding. As the days bring more shared experiences, Lucas found himself fascinated by the world as perceived through Lily’s eyes. In her, he discovered a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of beauty that transcended the confines of sight, a beauty woven from threads of kindness, compassion, and unwavering attitude. Though his eyes could not behold the physical scars that adorned Lily’s form, his heart beheld the true essence of her being — a luminous spirit that lightened the darkest corners of his world.

(在她身上，他发现了一种超越视觉界限的万花筒般的美，一种由善良、同情和坚定不移的态度交织而成的美。)”可知，尽管莉莉身上有他看不见的伤疤，卢卡斯还是认为她美丽是因为她的善良、同情和在困难生活中坚定不移的力量。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“a beauty woven from threads of kindness, compassion, and unwavering attitude”以及“Though his eyes could not behold the physical scars that adorned Lily’s form, his heart beheld the true essence of her being — a luminous spirit that lightened the darkest corners of his world. (虽然他的眼睛看不到莉莉身体上的伤疤，但他的心看到了她存在的真正本质——一个明亮的灵魂，照亮了他世界最黑暗的角落。)”可知，卢卡斯发现了一种超越视觉界限的万花筒般的美，一种由善良、同情和坚定的态度编织而成的美。故划线词意思是“超越”。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Their love became a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, a reminder that true beauty is not merely skin-deep but a radiant light that originates from the very core of our being, touching the hearts of all who dare to see beyond the surface. (他们的爱证明了人类精神的持久力量，提醒我们真正的美不仅仅是肤浅的，而是一种来自我们生命核心的光芒，触动了所有敢于看穿表面的人的心。)”可知，美不是肤浅的，而是一种从内心发出的光芒，它能照亮他人对美的定义最符合莉莉和卢卡斯故事的本质。故选B。 (23-24高一下·上海七宝中学·期末) Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shropshire, England. Darwin’s childhood passion was science, and his interest in chemistry, however, was clear; he was even nicknamed ‘Gas’ by his classmates. In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants. Darwin became passionate about natural history and this became his focus while he studied at Cambridge. Darwin went on a voyage together with Robert Fitzroy, the captain of HMS Beagle, to South America to facilitate British trade in Patagonia. The journey was life-changing. Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants, animals and rocks, which helped him to develop an understanding of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface. Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time. Darwin’s work convinced him that natural selection was key to understanding the development of the natural world. The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive when they inherit (经遗传获得) characteristics best suited for that specific environment. These features then become more widespread and can lead eventually to the development of a new species. With natural selection, Darwin argued how a wide variety of life forms developed over time from a single common ancestor. Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, in 1839. When Darwin’s eldest daughter, Annie, died from a sudden illness in 1851, he lost his belief in God. His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856. Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. Darwin had previously thought that species remained adapted until the environment changed; he now believed that every new variation was imperfect and that a struggle to survive was what drove species to adapt. Though rejected at the beginning, Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is nowadays well accepted by the scientific community as the best evidence-based explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth. The Natural History Museum’s library alone has 478 editions of his On the Origin of Species in 38 languages. 1．What made Darwin reconsider the origin and development of species? A．Examining plants and animals collected. B．His desire for a voyage to different continents. C．Classifying samples in a journey to South America. D．His passion for natural history at Edinburgh University. 2．We can learn from paragraphs 1 to 3 that Darwin ________. A．used natural selection to develop new species B．enjoyed being called nicknames related to science C．learned some knowledge about plants when studying medicine D．argued with others over the diversity of life forms for a long period 3．Which of the following changed Darwin’s view on the human species? A．That he had ten children in all. B．His youngest son’s being disabled. C．That he lost his eldest daughter. D．His marriage with Emma Wedgwood. 4．This passage is mainly about ________. A．Darwin’s passion for medical science B．Darwin’s theory and experiments C．Charles Darwin’s changing interest D．Charles Darwin’s life and work 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇人物传记，讲述了查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文的生平、科学兴趣、重要理论以及他的个人生活。 1．细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句“Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time. ”（达尔文对所收集的植物和动物的分析使他开始质疑过去关于物种如何形成和随时间演化的解释。）可知，达尔文对所收集的植物和动物的分析使他对物种的起源和发展产生质疑和重新审议。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。由文章第二段第一句“In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants. ”（1825年，他的父亲送他去爱丁堡大学学医，在那里他学会了如何对植物进行分类。）可推断，达尔文在学医时候了解到了关于植物的知识。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。由文章第四段第二句和三句“His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856. Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. ”（他的第十个也是最后一个孩子查尔斯·沃林·达尔文于1856年出生。对达尔文来说，这个婴儿是残疾的，这改变了达尔文对人类物种的看法。）可知，达尔文最小的孩子的先天残疾使达尔文改变了人类物种的看法。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章前三段主要讲述了查尔斯·罗伯特·达尔文的生平、学业经历、科学兴趣对其理论形成和发展的影响。第四段讲述了他的家庭和个人生活、最后一段讲述了达尔文理论的地位和影响。因此，文章主要讲述了达尔文的生活和工作。故选D项。 (22-23高一下·上海建平中学·期末) The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench: now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. Looking over her shoulder, Piya spotted a tea-seller on the platform. Reaching through the bars of the window, she called him with a wave. She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home. She paid for her tea and was trying to get in the cup through the bars when the man in the seat opposite her own suddenly turned over a page, jolting her hand. She turned her wrist quickly enough to make sure that most of the tea spilled out of the window, but she could not prevent some from spilling over his papers. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” Piya was very embarrassed: of everyone in the compartment, this was the last person she would have chosen to injure with her tea. She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places. “Here,” said Piya, producing a handful of tissues. “Let me help you clean up.” “There’s nothing to be done,” he said testily (暴躁地). “These pages are ruined anyway.” For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand. But all she could bring herself to say was, “I’m very sorry. I hope you’ll excuse me.” “Do I really have a choice?” he said. “Does anyone have a choice when they’re dealing with Americans these days?” Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?” “About what?” “About my being American? You’re very observant.” This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat. “I didn’t guess,” he said. “I knew.” 1．In the first paragraph, Piya was relieved when she got a window seat because it meant that_________. A．there was more room for her luggage B．she no longer had to suffer from a lack of air C．there was less chance that she would miss her stop D．she didn’t have to stand for the rest of the train journey 2．Piya found that the tea or chai she had drunk in India ________. A．was disappointingly weak in taste B．reminded her of her home in Seattle C．would have tasted better if served fresh D．was preferable to the chai she had had before 3．When Piya first saw the man she thought that ________. A．he was someone who was observant of surroundings B．he seemed to think he was better than other people C．he had tried to keep his distance from his fellow passengers D．he had been looking for someone he knew on the station platform 4．Piya asked “But how did you guess?” in order to _________. A．find out what the man really thought about Americans B．try to calm the situation down by starting a conversation C．ensure the man realized that she had apologized D．make sure the man knew he was being rude 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了是美国小姑娘Piya在火车上的一次经历。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench, now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. (火车停在离加尔各答大约二十分钟的地方，这时一个意外的机缘给了皮娅一个机会，她坐在靠窗的座位上呼吸新鲜空气。她一直坐在火车车厢最闷热的地方，坐在长凳边上，现在，她走到敞开的窗口，看到火车停在了一个叫Champahati的车站。)”可知，当Piya找到一个靠窗的座位时，她松了一口气，因为这意味着她再也不用忍受空气不足的痛苦了。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home.(她从来没有喜欢过在她的家乡美国西雅图出售的印度茶，但不知何故，在印度的十天里，她意外地喜欢上了用陶杯盛着的煮过的奶茶。首先，里面没有香料，这比家里的茶更合她的口味。)”可知，Piya发现她在印度喝的茶比她以前喝过的茶更美味。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places.(她是在加尔各答的月台上等车时注意到他的，他得意洋洋地歪着头，盯着周围每个人，打量着他们，把他们分门别类，给她留下了深刻的印象。)”可知，当皮娅第一次看到这个男人时，她觉得他似乎认为自己比别人好。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第四段“Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?”(皮娅不想和别人争吵，所以她就不计较了。相反，她睁大了眼睛，试图恢复平静，说：“但是你是怎么猜到的？”)”以及最后一段“This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat.(这似乎奏效了。他向后靠在座位上，肩膀放松了下来。)”可知，Piya问“你是怎么猜的？”的目的是试图通过开始谈话来平息与男子之间紧张的局势。故选B。 (23-24高一下·上海黄浦区·期末) Some things we cannot copy where I live. We will never celebrate Christmas inside a picture postcard. We have no winter wonderland, though once, inspired by a snowfall seen on the black-and-white television, I did collect some ice from the inside of the freezer to throw at my brother. By the time I got to him, all I had was a handful of rain. What we do have is electricity. As long as the Tennessee Valley Authority can light up the southern night with strands of color, shining from every house and mobile home, they can have their white Christmas. I have seen lights wrapped around mailbox posts. In the country, you need a whole lot of extension cord (电缆) to electrify a mailbox. I have seen them strung across the Peterbilt trucks. My mother never takes down her lights, strung on a cedar beam (雪松木梁) in the living room, though she does unplug them. The rich folks have switched to white lights, a lot of them, to be elegant. But it will always be lights of color, shining through a night which smells of woodsmoke, that mean Christmas to me. I find it especially hard not to live in the past at this time of year, when I would do anything to see the world like a child again. It is why I fill the refrigerator every December with chocolate-covered cherries and watch, for the hundredth time, those 50-year-old Christmas specials about Santa Claus. It is important that some things stay the same — that, at some point this season, someone will say, “We’re going to look at Christmas lights. Do you want to come?” I go sometimes and sometimes just say no. It is enough to know someone is going. I have a fine memory of the lights; I do not want it to grow less than it was by putting on it new lights bought at Walmart. 1．What is the primary feature that the author values about Christmas in their location? A．Snow-covered landscapes. B．Traditional winter wonderland scenes. C．Colorful Christmas lights. D．Cedar beams in living rooms. 2．By saying “What we do have is electricity.”, the author means electricity can _______. A．bring convenience to his life B．create a Christmas atmosphere C．generate warmth in harsh winter D．save cord to power a mailbox 3．How do the rich folks differ from others in terms of Christmas lights? A．They prefer white lights for elegance. B．They use fewer lights for simplicity. C．They avoid using extension cords. D．They rely on woodsmoke for lighting. 4．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．He takes delight in bidding farewell to the past. B．He gets fed up with looking at Christmas lights. C．He dislikes the color options available at Walmart. D．He feels relieved that Christmas lights tradition is preserved. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者对自己居住地圣诞节氛围的感受和回忆，描述了作者在房间里、屋外和看到别人家中的彩灯装饰，以及这些装饰给她带来的温馨和回忆，作者还表达了对过去圣诞节的怀念，尤其是与童年和简单快乐相关的记忆。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“What we do have is electricity. As long as the Tennessee Valley Authority can light up the southern night with strands of color, shining from every house and mobile home, they can have their white Christmas. I have seen lights wrapped around mailbox posts.(我们有的只是电。只要田纳西河谷管理局(Tennessee Valley Authority)能用一缕缕彩光照亮南方的夜晚，让每一所房子和移动房屋都能发出彩光，他们就能拥有自己的白色圣诞节。我看到过邮筒上缠满了灯)”以及第三段“But it will always be lights of color, shining through a night which smells of woodsmoke, that mean Christmas to me.(但对我来说，那永远是五彩缤纷的灯光，闪耀着柴烟味的夜晚，那才是圣诞节的意义)”可知，尽管作者所在的地方没有被雪覆盖的风景或传统的冬日仙境，但人们仍然用彩色圣诞灯装饰他们的家和院子，用以营造节日的氛围，作者对这些灯的详细描述和表达出的喜爱之情表明，彩色圣诞灯是作者所在地区圣诞节所珍视的主要特征。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“What we do have is electricity. As long as the Tennessee Valley Authority can light up the southern night with strands of color, shining from every house and mobile home, they can have their white Christmas. I have seen lights wrapped around mailbox posts.(我们有的只是电。只要田纳西河谷管理局(Tennessee Valley Authority)能用一缕缕彩光照亮南方的夜晚，让每一所房子和移动房屋都能发出彩光，他们就能拥有自己的白色圣诞节。我看到过邮筒上缠满了灯)”可知，作者认为只要电力供应能够点亮每个房屋和移动住宅的彩色灯串，人们就可以拥有他们的白色圣诞节，作者描述了电力如何通过彩色灯串来为圣诞节创造氛围，这表明电力是营造圣诞氛围的关键，因此，作者的意思是电力可以创造圣诞氛围。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The rich folks have switched to white lights, a lot of them, to be elegant.(有钱人为了显得优雅，很多人都改用白色的灯)”可知，有钱人更倾向于使用白色的灯来装饰，以体现他们的品味和优雅。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“It is important that some things stay the same—that, at some point this season, someone will say, “We’re going to look at Christmas lights. Do you want to come?”(重要的是，有些东西保持不变——在这个季节的某个时候，有人会说，“我们要去看圣诞彩灯。”你想去吗？”)”可知，作者看到有些事物保持不变感到欣慰。故选D。 (23-24高一下·上海世外中学·期末) Peterson Moturi journeyed to Nairobi, Kenya in 2014 to find a better life for himself. Initially, he would sell drinking water and groundnuts, as well as working as a car wash attendant before becoming a watchman for night duties. Since his goal was to join law school, he saved Kes 50, 000, which he used to pay for his admission to law school. He applied for admission to the Kenya School of Law (KSL) in 2016 and was successful, but the biggest headache facing him was that he didn’t have enough money to pay his fees. Fortunately, he got some financial assistance from Mr. PLO Lumumba, who was then the school director and offered him a scholarship. However, Moturi was then faced with the challenging task of working at night and attending class during the day. Unfortunately, when he sat for his final exams, he got a Pass, which could not allow him to move to the next stage, attaining a law degree. That meant he had to score at least a credit and find money to pay for his diploma courses. He decided to approach his employer, Radar Security, for help. He honestly told his boss that he failed and wondered if he could sponsor him for the diploma once again. To his surprise, his boss agreed, and in no time, he was back in class. “Now I am a joyful man. I am graduating with a credit score. I can now go ahead, pursue a law degree and become an advocate,” he said at the graduation ceremony. Though dressed in the usual graduation regalia (礼服), Moturi somehow appeared different from his colleagues due to the security guard uiform he wore underneath. The 28-year-old man desires to help the less fortunate in society have access to justice. 1．What bothered Moturi most after he gained admission to the KSL? A．Losing his day job. B．Lacking school fees. C．Feeding his family. D．Failing in his final exams. 2．Why did Moturi decide to score at least a credit? A．To enable his boss to sponsor him. B．To succeed in obtaining the scholarship. C．To graduate from the KSL ahead of time. D．To qualify for admission for a law degree. 3．How did Moturi support himself while studying in the KSL? A．By selling daily articles. B．By offering car washing service. C．By serving as a night watchman. D．By asking his family for financial help. 4．Which of the following can best describe Peterson Moturi? A．Determined. B．Modest. C．Imaginative. D．Generous. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了肯尼亚人莫图里为实现读法学院的目标靠做保安等工作不懈奋斗的故事。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段“He applied for admission to the Kenya School of Law (KSL) in 2016 and was successful, but the biggest headache facing him was that he didn’t have enough money to pay his fees.(他在2016年申请了肯尼亚法学院（KSL），并获得了成功，但他面临的最头疼的问题是他没有足够的钱支付学费。)”可知，莫图里被肯尼亚法学院录取后，最困扰他的事情就是没有足够的钱支付学费。故选B。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段“Unfortunately, when he sat for his final exams, he got a Pass, which could not allow him to move to the next stage, attaining a law degree. That meant he had to score at least a credit and find money to pay for his diploma courses.(不幸的是，当他参加期末考试时，他获得了及格，这不能让他进入下一个阶段，获得法律学位。这意味着他至少要拿到一个学分，还要有钱支付文凭课程的学费。)”和最后一段“I can now go ahead, pursue a law degree and become an advocate(我现在可以继续前进，攻读法律学位，成为一名律师)”可知，需要获得至少一个学分才有资格攻读法学学位，所以莫图里才做出这样的决定，以实现当律师的目标。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据第一段“before becoming a watchman for night duties(在成为夜间值班的保安之前)”以及第三段“approach his employer, Radar Security, for help(向他的雇主雷达安全公司寻求帮助)”和最后一段“due to the security guard uniform he wore underneath(因为他里面穿的是保安制服)”可推知，在法学院学习期间他是靠做夜间保安员来养活自己的。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了莫图里为实现读法学院的目标，面对困境永不放弃，克服了重重苦难，最终如愿以偿，说明他是一位意志非常坚定的人。故选A。 (22-23高一下·上海浦东新区·期末) When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the people at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this world would be. At school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then, why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make our actions reflect your words.” I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励)action. Now, ten years from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken. When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make choices - education, career, lifestyle - life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren’t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy on sustainable way of living. And we are leaning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and innocent. Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change. 1．The purpose of what the speaker said at the age of 12 was to ________. A．end poverty and make school beautiful B．end poverty and solve the problems about environment C．find a wonderful place and clean it up D．find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves 2．What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to ________. A．a long period of laughing B．a warm welcome C．a long period of clapping and applauses D．an expression used for greeting 3．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．the writer thinks what he thought at the age of 12 is mature. B．the writer’s children will certainly live in an ideal environment. C．the writer’s confidence in the people in power has deeply shaken their voice. D．the writer’s belief does not change when he grows up. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者12岁时在里约地球峰会上发言，希望大人们能做到在学校教育孩子时的要求，解决贫困问题，找出治理环境的方法，建立一个和平、美丽的世界，他的发言受到各国代表热烈赞扬。十年后作者初衷未改变，从我做起一起改变这个世界。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“I remember my enthusiasm when，at the age of 12,I addressed the people at the Rio Earth Summit. ‘I am only a child,’ I told them. ‘Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this world would be.’ (我还记得我12岁时在里约热内卢地球峰会上向人们讲话时的那种热情。‘我只是个孩子。’我告诉他们。‘但我知道，如果花在战争上的钱都花在消除贫困和寻找环境问题的答案上，这个世界将会变得多么美好。’)”可推断，演讲者在12岁时所演讲的目的是结束贫困和解决环境问题。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据划线词前半句“I spoke for six minutes (我讲了六分钟)”和后句“Some of the delegates even cried. (一些代表甚至哭了)”可知，作者的演讲受到了与会人员的赞同。由此猜测，他们听完后全场起立鼓掌。所以ovation为“鼓掌”之意。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. (我知道改变是可能的，因为我正在改变，仍在思考我的想法。我还在决定如何生活)”可知，纵使会有再多改变作者仍坚守自己的信念。故选D。 (23-24高一下·上海建平中学·期末) A Pilgrimage to Mont Blanc It was on a grey winter’s day in my parents’ house outside Glasgow that I first suggested Mont Blanc in summer. I knew I should make more effort to spend time with my 74-year-old dad, but what I was proposing at his age was a risk. A ten-day hike around one of Europe’s highest mountains seemed a little extreme. “Old age doesn’t come alone,” he replied, implying the memory loss from a recent life-threatening stroke. Yet, to stir memory in long-forgotten footprints seemed like the right thing to do. We booked a flight, and four months later, arrived in the shadow of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, France. That first sunlit afternoon, it was instantly obvious that we had made the right decision. The pathway ahead was quiet. Quick-footed hikers walked past us, eyes focused on a ridge (山脊) that marched south to the Italian border. But there was no sign of worry on my hiking partner’s brow. Only determination. My dad’s accounts of his time in the mountains remain among the defining stories of my childhood. The first time it left its mark on me was when I uncovered a junk box full of projector slides taken in the summer of 1970, when he and two of his friends completed a previously untried route up the overwhelmingly dangerous North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland. That was now more than half his lifetime ago. And, yet, here we were, marching side by side around the Mont Blanc, tracing an invisible route with our fingers over the same harsh summits he had conquered long ago. What I had always seen as an obsession with the mountains revealed itself to be a bond that I never knew we had. By the end of the week, I sensed we may have achieved what we both had thought impossible. We made our final push towards the Col du Brévent above the Chamonix valley. We climbed up into a narrow world of stone, meeting Mont Blanc face on. To capture the moment, I took a photo, but only then did it dawn on me that it was nearly the same composition as on a slide I had first seen in one of those junk boxes. There was that smile, those eyes fixed on the horizon, the beautiful Alpine ridges of Mont Blanc crowding out the background. For a split second, it looked as if nothing had changed. 1．According to the article, what mainly motivated the author to take his father on a hike around Mont Blanc? A．His father’s old age and poor health. B．His father’s memory loss from a stroke. C．His dream of traveling with his father again.

Yet, to stir memory in long-forgotten footprints seemed like the right thing to do. We booked a flight, and four months later, arrived in the shadow of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, France. (他回答说：“衰老不是独自来的。”他的意思是说，最近一次危及生命的中风导致了记忆力丧失。然而，在被遗忘已久的足迹中唤起记忆似乎是正确的事情。我们订了机票，四个月后，我们到达了法国夏蒙尼的勃朗峰。)”可知，是父亲的中风导致记忆力丧失，促使作者带着父亲去法国夏蒙尼的勃朗峰远足。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“That was now more than half his lifetime ago. And, yet, here we were, marching side by side around the Mont Blanc, tracing an invisible route with our fingers over the same harsh summits he had conquered long ago. What I had always seen as an obsession with the mountains revealed itself to be a bond that I never knew we had. (那已经是他一生的一半了。然而，我们却在这里，肩并肩地绕着勃朗峰前进，用我们的手指沿着一条看不见的路线，越过他很久以前征服过的那些险峻的山峰。我一直认为是对山脉的痴迷，现在却变成了一种我从来不知道我们之间存在的纽带。)”之前作者认为父亲爬山是对山脉的痴迷，而现在变成了他们之间的纽带，可知，作者的这次经历改变了对父亲爱好的认识。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“By the end of the week, I sensed we may have achieved what we both had thought impossible.  We made our final push towards the Col du Brévent above the Chamonix valley. We climbed up into a narrow world of stone, meeting Mont Blanc face on. (到周末的时候，我感觉到我们可能已经完成了我们都认为不可能完成的事情。我们向夏蒙尼山谷上方的布雷文森峰进行了最后的冲刺。我们爬上了一个狭窄的石头世界，与勃朗峰正面相遇。)”作者与父亲完成了不可能的事情，到达了山峰。可知，作者的父亲是勇于冒险的攀登者。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“To capture the moment, I took a photo, but only then did it dawn on me that it was nearly the same composition as on a slide I had first seen in one of those junk boxes.  There was that smile, those eyes fixed on the horizon, the beautiful Alpine ridges of Mont Blanc crowding out the background.  For a split second, it looked as if nothing had changed. (为了捕捉这一刻，我拍了一张照片，但直到那时我才意识到，这张照片的构图与我第一次在一个垃圾箱里看到的幻灯片几乎是一样的。那是微笑，那双眼睛盯着地平线，美丽的阿尔卑斯山脉勃朗峰衬托着背景。有那么一瞬间，一切似乎都没有改变。)”作者觉得一切似乎是没有改变的，与第一次在一个垃圾箱里看到的幻灯片几乎是一样的，可知，作者父亲对登山的热爱仍未改变。故选D。 (23-24高一下·上海浦东东昌中学·期末) When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee. 74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlic’s aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job, and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired. Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves in an electric oven, and, after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags. “My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.” “The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee. If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, Iwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen($2.8). 1．Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word“blunder”in the second paragraph? A．mistake B．show C．mixture D．brand 2．Who is not suitable to drink garlic coffee? A．A woman bearing a baby. B．A student having trouble with sleep. C．A cleaner working on a day shift. D．A young lady sick of garlic. 3．Which of the following is not characteristic of garlic coffee? A．It is caffeine-free. B．Garlic powder dissolves in water. C．The burnt garlic creates bitterness. D．It is an improvement on a garlic dish. 4．Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai? A．venturous and greedy B．innovative and perseverant C．hardworking and cautious D．observant and helpful 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．B 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位74岁的日本老人发明了独特的大蒜咖啡。 1．词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlic’s aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee.”可知，当时他在上菜的时候烧了牛排和大蒜，他被烧焦的大蒜香味所吸引，用勺子把它捣碎，然后和热水混合，由此产生的饮料看起来和尝起来很像咖啡，也就是说大蒜咖啡源于他30年前烧菜时无意中犯的一个错误，并不是有意为之，由此可知画线词词义为“错误”，故A项正确。 2．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee.”可知，如果你能克服大蒜的香味，那么大蒜咖啡的味道显然很像真正的咖啡，而讨厌大蒜的人不可能克服大蒜的味道，由此可知，讨厌大蒜的年轻女士不适合喝大蒜咖啡，故D项正确。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To make his dissolvable garlic grounds”可知，大蒜咖啡粉可溶于水；根据倒数第三段中的“It contains no caffeine”可知，大蒜咖啡不含咖啡因；根据倒数第二段中的“The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor”可知，大蒜烧焦后的苦味显然有助于产生咖啡般的味道，以上三点都是大蒜咖啡的特点，而没有说它是对大蒜菜的改进，故D项正确。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago”可知，他由30年前烧菜时无意中犯的一个错误而想出了研制大蒜咖啡的想法，这说明他善于创新，根据第三段中的“Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula”可知，他致力于将自己的怪异饮料转变为商业产品，用了多年时间优化配方，这说明他做事持之以恒，由此可知，他具有创新和持之以恒的精神，故B项正确。 【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，对画线词上下文的理解是关键，例如本篇第1题，根据画线词后的“when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlic’s aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee.”可知，当时他在上菜的时候烧了牛排和大蒜，他被烧焦的大蒜香味所吸引，用勺子把它捣碎，然后和热水混合，由此产生的饮料看起来和尝起来很像咖啡，也就是说大蒜咖啡不是他刻意研制的，而是源于30年前烧菜时无意中犯的一个错误，由此可知画线词词义为“错误”，故A项正确。 (23-24高一下·上海延安中学·期末) For the past three decades, companies and consumers have benefited from cross — border connections that have helped to maintain a steady supply of electronics, clothes, toys and other goods so abundant that it has managed to keep prices low across the board. However, as the pandemic and the Russia — Ukraine conflict continue to weigh on trade and business ties, that period of plenty appears to be undergoing a partial reversal. Companies are rethinking where to source their products and are stockpiling inventory (库存), even at the potential cost of lowering their efficiency and increasing their operation expense. If the situation lasts for very long, could have important implications for inflation (通货膨胀) and the world economy. American economists are debating whether recent supply chain troubles and geopolitical conflicts will result in a shake-up of global production, in which factories that had previously been sent offshore or areas with fewer tax regulations, move back to the United States or into other more stable countries. If this happens, a decades-long decline in the prices of many goods could come to an end. We may even witness a slide backwards, meaning a potential boost in prices and overall inflation as a result. The period of global integration before the pandemic made many of the things Americans buy cheaper. Computers and other forms of technology made factories more efficient, and they rolled out sneakers, kitchen tables, and electronics at a pace unmatched in history. Companies slashed their production costs by moving factories offshore, where wages were lower. The adoption of steel shipping containers and ever larger cargo ships allowed products to be transported from Bangladesh and China to Seattle and Tupelo and everywhere in between at astonishingly low prices. Those changes, however, had consequences for American factory workers, who saw many jobs disappear. Katherine Tai, the U. S. trade representative, said that, while American consumers have enjoyed the “luxury” of low prices for imported goods for a long time now, the system upon which it was built has always been a very “fragile” one. Americans are not just consumers, but also workers who have to compete in a global marketplace for talent where globalization “has damaged opportunities and wages for average American workers”. “Some returning is occurring — let’s make no mistake about that.” Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala., the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, said in an interview. But the data shows that most businesses are reducing their risk by building up their inventories and finding additional suppliers in low-cost countries, such as Vietnam and Mexico. This process could end up helping more deeply integtate poorer countries in Africa and other parts of the world into the global value chains, said Dr. Okonjo-Iweala. The intertwined trajectory (轨迹) of globalization, low prices, and inflation on the whole will be closely watched by economists over the years to come. “It would certainly be a different world.” Jerome H. Powel, the chair of the Federal Reserve, said when asked about a possible move away from globalization. “It’s not obvious how dramatically conditions will change,” he said. “But it’s clear that it’s slowed down.” 1．Which of the following best fits the blank in Paragraph 2? A．the trend of global integration B．a shift away from fine-tuned globalization C．the benefit of cheap and plenty goods D．an upcoming economic crash 2．Which of the following statement is true about the shake-up of global production? A．A potential decline in prices of goods can be expected. B．American companies may locate their offshore factories in Africa. C．Efficient transportation makes bulk buying convenient for Americans. D．Inflation has a role to play in the shake-up of globalization. 3．What can be inferred from Paragraph 5? A．Katherine Tai takes a neutral position concerning globalization. B．American factory workers face heightened competition from domestic rivals. C．American consumers generally benefited from global integration. D．Exported goods lead to the lower wages of average Americans. 4．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．The Era of Cheap and Plenty May be Ending B．Globalization: Crisis or Opportunities? C．New Winners in the Post-globalization Era D．The Future of Global Economy 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了全球化对商品价格、通货膨胀和全球经济的影响。随着疫情和俄乌冲突持续，全球供应链受到冲击，企业开始重新考虑产品采购地点并储备库存，可能导致通货膨胀和全球生产格局的重大变化。美国经济学家就是否会出现全球生产格局的转变进行了辩论，这可能会结束商品价格长期下降的趋势，并可能引发通货膨胀。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“For the past three decades, companies and consumers have benefited from cross—border connections that have helped to maintain a steady supply of electronics, clothes, toys and other goods so abundant that it has managed to keep prices low across the board.(过去三十年来，企业和消费者受益于跨境联系，这种联系帮助保持了电子产品、服装、玩具和其他商品的稳定供应，供应如此丰富，以至于成功地将价格全面保持在低位)”可知，过去几十年，国际贸易已经形成了稳定的、精细的跨境供应链。结合第二段中“However, as the pandemic and the Russia — Ukraine conflict continue to weigh on trade and business ties, that period of plenty appears to be undergoing a partial reversal. Companies are rethinking where to source their products and are stockpiling inventory (库存), even at the potential cost of lowering their efficiency and increasing their operation expense.(然而，随着疫情和俄罗斯-乌克兰冲突继续给贸易和商业关系带来压力，这一富足时期似乎正在经历部分逆转。即使可能以降低效率和增加运营费用为代价，企业也正在重新考虑从哪里采购产品，并囤积库存)”可知，新的国际形势可能导致这一有利局面的改变。由此推知，如果这一情况长时间持续，必然导致国际贸易从精细化的全球合作转向，进而影响通货膨胀和全球经济。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“American economists are debating whether recent supply chain troubles and geopolitical conflicts will result in a shake-up of global production, in which factories that had previously been sent offshore or areas with fewer tax regulations, move back to the United States or into other more stable countries. If this happens, a decades-long decline in the prices of many goods could come to an end. We may even witness a slide backwards, meaning a potential boost in prices and overall inflation as a result.(美国经济学家正在讨论，最近的供应链问题和地缘政治冲突是否会导致全球生产的剧变，即以前被转移到海外或税收监管较少的地区的工厂，会搬回美国或其他更稳定的国家。如果发生这种情况，许多商品长达数十年的价格下跌可能会结束。我们甚至可能会看到经济下滑，这意味着价格和整体通胀可能会因此上涨)”可知，全球生产的剧变可能会导致通货膨胀，即通货膨胀与全球生产的剧变相关。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“Katherine Tai, the U. S. trade representative, said that, while American consumers have enjoyed the “luxury” of low prices for imported goods for a long time now, the system upon which it was built has always been a very “fragile” one.(美国贸易代表戴凯琳表示，虽然美国消费者长期以来一直享受进口商品低价的“奢侈”，但建立在此基础上的体系一直非常“脆弱”)”可推知，美国消费者享受进口的商品低价，受益于全球一体化。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“However, as the pandemic and the Russia — Ukraine conflict continue to weigh on trade and business ties, that period of plenty appears to be undergoing a partial reversal. Companies are rethinking where to source their products and are stockpiling inventory (库存), even at the potential cost of lowering their efficiency and increasing their operation expense. If the situation lasts for very long, a shift away from fine-tuned globalization could have important implications for inflation (通货膨胀) and the world economy.(然而，随着疫情和俄罗斯-乌克兰冲突继续给贸易和商业关系带来压力，这一富足时期似乎正在经历部分逆转。即使可能以降低效率和增加运营费用为代价，企业也正在重新考虑从哪里采购产品，并囤积库存。如果这种情况持续很长时间，从精细化的全球合作转向可能对通货膨胀和世界经济产生重要影响)”和第三段中“If this happens, a decades-long decline in the prices of many goods could come to an end. We may even witness a slide backwards, meaning a potential boost in prices and overall inflation as a result.(如果发生这种情况，许多商品长达数十年的价格下跌可能会结束。我们甚至可能会看到经济下滑，这意味着价格和整体通胀可能会因此上涨)”可知，文章介绍了疫情和俄乌冲突持续的影响，可能导致全球化的逆转，引发广泛的通货膨胀，即享受廉价商品的富足的时代的结束。故“The Era of Cheap and Plenty May be Ending(廉价富足的时代可能即将结束)”是最佳标题。故选A项。 (22-23高一下·上海曹二附中·期末) As the sun set he remembered, to give himself more confidence, the time in the tavern at Casablanca when he had played the hand game with the great negro from Cienfuegos who was the strongest man on the docks. They had gone one day and one night with their elbows on a chalk line on the table and their forearms straight up and their hands gripped tight. Each one was trying to force the other’s hand down onto the table. There was much betting and people went in and out of the room under the kerosene lights and he had looked at the arm and hand of the negro and at the negro’s face. They changed the referees every four hours after the first eight so that the referees could sleep. Blood came out from under the fingernails of both his and the negro’s hands and they looked each other in the eye and at their hands and forearms and the bettors went in and out of the room and sat on high chairs against the wall and watched. The walls were painted bright blue and were of wood and the lamps threw their shadows against them. The negro’s shadow was huge and it moved on the wall as the breeze moved the lamps. The odds would change back and forth all night and they fed the negro rum and lighted cigarettes for him. Then the negro, after the rum, would try for a tremendous effort and once he had the old man, who was not an old man then but was Santiago El Campeon, nearly three inches off balance. But the old man had raised his hand up to dead even again. He was sure then that he had the negro, who was a fine man and a great athlete, beaten. And at daylight when the bettors were asking that it be called a draw and the referee was shaking his head, he had unleashed his effort and forced the hand of the negro down and down until it rested on the wood. The match had started on a Sunday morning and ended on a Monday morning. Many of the bettors had asked for a draw because they had to go to work on the docks loading sacks of sugar or at the Havana Coal Company. Otherwise everyone would have wanted it to go to a finish. But he had finished it anyway and before anyone had to go to work. For a long time after that everyone had called him The Champion and there had been a return match in the spring. But not much money was bet and he had won it quite easily since he had broken the confidence of the negro from Cienfuegos in the first match. After that he had a few matches and then no more. He decided that he could beat anyone if he wanted to badly enough and he decided that it was bad for his right hand for fishing. He had tried a few practice matches with his left hand. But his left hand had always been a traitor and would not do what he called on it to do and he did not trust it. Quoted from The Old Man and the Sea 1．Since the old man is the main character, in the hand game, why does Hemingway put more efforts in describing his opponent the negro? A．Because Hemingway himself is an anti-racist who wants to support the colored race. B．By doing so, he indirectly shows how strong and determined the old man is to readers. C．He shifts readers’ attention to a new character to neutralize the nervous atmosphere. D．There is no need to describe the old man because he is well-known to all readers. 2．What does the underlined word “unleashed” in paragraph 2 mean? A．spare B．restrict C．reduce D．loose 3．Which of the followings is TRUE according to the passage? A．Many bettors were afraid of losing their money so they wanted to call the game a draw. B．The old man had owed his victory over the negro more to his will than to his strength. C．The referee had been convinced by the bettors that the game be considered a draw D．Regular hand games should be a good practice to enhance the old man’s fishing skills 4．What can be inferred from the whole passage? A．The old man defeated the negro more than once in the matches with his will power B．Many workers working on the docks had showed no respect towards the old man. C．The old man had to self-feed himself a lot so as to stay competitive in the game. D．The negro was not as strong and athletic as the old man had expected him to be. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了海明威《老人与海》的片段，老人和黑人比赛的情节。 1．推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“he had played the hand game with the great negro from Cienfuegos who was the strongest man on the docks.  (他和Cienfuegos的强大的黑人玩过扳手腕，后者是码头上最强壮的人)”可知，和老人进行比赛的黑人是码头上最强壮的。在下文中，作者介绍了老人和黑人比赛的过程和结果：老人通过努力，打败了黑人。由此推知，第二段对黑人对手进行更多的描述是为了反衬出老人的强壮和坚定。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。划线单词下文“forced the hand of the negro down and down until it rested on the wood. (用力将黑人的手往下压，直到它停在木头上)”可推知要将黑人的手压下去必须释放全部力气，因此带下划线单词的意思是：“释放”，故选D。 3．细节理解题。文章倒数第二段讲到“But not much money was bet and he had won it quite easily since he had broken the confidence of the negro from Cienfuegos in the first match. (但赌注不多，他很容易就赢了，因为他在第一场比赛中就打破了西恩富戈斯黑人的信心。)”可知根据文章，这位老人对黑人的胜利更多地归功于他的意志，而不是他的力量，故选B。 4．推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“there had been a return match in the spring. But not much money was bet and he had won it quite easily since he had broken the confidence of the negro from Cienfuegos in the first match. (并在春季举行了一次回归赛。但赌注不多，他很容易就赢了，因为他在第一场比赛中就打破了西恩富戈斯黑人的信心。)”以及“He decided that he could beat anyone if he wanted to badly enough (他决定，如果他非常想打败任何人，他都可以打败任何人。)”可知，从整篇文章中可以推断出这位老人在比赛中用他的意志力不止一次击败了那个黑人。故选A。 试卷第22页，共23页 试卷第23页，共23页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
