DJ likes the Marvel and the comic book creator Stan Lee. However, he was unhappy with the representation of superheroes in the books he read, so he decided to write his own comic. “I used to believe that you had to be at a certain age, like an adult, to go and follow your dreams and do the things that you really wanted to do,” he said. “But now I know that’s really not true.” “In the book, Tech Boy is made by a great scientist,” DJ said. “His superpower is to control technology to beat the bad guys who stand against him.” DJ said there’s a lot of himself in the character. “He looks just like me, and I’m also into technology. The character was almost directly inspired by myself.” DJ did have some challenges to deal with in bringing “Tech Boy” to life. He said he met some bad guys at that time, which caused a bad effect on him. But his mother often told him the two of them needed to continue to keep the lines of communication open. “When you start noticing behavior changes, talk to your kids,” she said. “DJ and I are very open. We talk to each other about everything.” DJ is still hard at work now, too. He’s created Team Tech Boy LLC, which has sold hundreds of copies of the comic, while also giving some away to students. When “Tech Boy” was finally published, DJ was pleased to see his effort pay off. “It was incredible to know that was my creation. I did it; it was finally there,” he said. 1．What directly caused DJ to create “Tech Boy”? A．His parents’ support. B．His hobby of painting. C．His admiration for Stan Lee. D．His dislike of the present comics. 2．Why did DJ choose technology as Tech Boy’s superpower? A．To reflect his personal interest. B．To attract readers’ interest in technology. C．To offer a popular image in his story. D．To make Tech Boy connected to modern times. 3．What does DJ’s mother think is the key to dealing with DJ’s challenges? A．Keeping an eye on his every move. B．Having a heart-to-heart talk with him. C．Giving him space without pushing him. D．Developing his sense of self-improvement. 4．How does DJ sound after the publication of “Tech Boy”? A．Care-free. B．Well-informed. C．Content. D．Confident. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了十三岁的DJ Strickland因为不喜欢漫画书中的超级英雄形象，而出版了自己的漫画书的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“in response to the lack of diversity he noticed while reading his favorite comic books(为了应对他在阅读他最喜欢的漫画书时注意到的缺乏多样性)”和“he was unhappy with the representation of superheroes in the books he read, so he decided to write his own comic(他对自己读到的书中超级英雄的形象感到不满，所以他决定自己写漫画)”可知，DJ Strickland在阅读最喜欢的漫画书的时候发现它们缺乏多样性，他对漫画书中的超级英雄形象不满，于是决定创作自己的漫画书。由此可知，是对现有的漫画书的不满直接导致了他创作Tech Boy。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘He looks just like me, and I’m also into technology. The character was almost directly inspired by myself.’(他和我长得很像，我也很喜欢科技。这个角色几乎直接受到了我的启发。)”可知，Tech Boy这个角色的创作灵感几乎直接来自DJ他自己。由此可知，他选择科技作为Tech Boy的超能力是为了反映他的个人兴趣。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But his mother often told him the two of them needed to continue to keep the lines of communication open. ‘When you start noticing behavior changes, talk to your kids,’ she said. ‘DJ and I are very open. We talk to each other about everything.’(但他的母亲经常告诉他，他们两个需要继续保持沟通渠道的畅通她说，当你开始注意到行为的变化时，就和你的孩子谈谈我和DJ都很开放。我们互相谈论每件事。)”可知，DJ的母亲经常告诉DJ他们俩需要继续保持沟通渠道的畅通，她觉得当家长开始注意到孩子的行为变化时，要和他们谈心。由此可知，她认为应对DJ遇到的挑战的关键是与DJ敞开心扉进行交流。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When ‘Tech Boy’ was finally published, DJ was pleased to see his effort pay off. ‘It was incredible to know that was my creation. I did it; it was finally there,’ he said.(当《科技男孩》最终出版时，DJ很高兴看到自己的努力得到了回报。我做到了；他说，它终于到了。)”可知， DJ很高兴看到自己的努力有了成效，他没有想到自己创作的漫画书居然成功了。由此可推断出，DJ的漫画书出版后，他感到很满足。故选C。 （23-24高一下·浙江台州·期末）Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web. Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets. It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own. Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills. I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love. 1．How does the author lead into the topic? A．By showing his desire to keep animals. B．By recommending his childhood reads. C．By sharing his own experience with nature. D．By comparing his farm life with his children’s. 2．What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Awakened. B．Expressed. C．Weakened. D．Kept. 3．What role does an early contact with farming play in children’s growth? A．A time killer. B．A character builder. C．A social connector. D．An emotional comforter. 4．Which statement does the author probably agree with? A．Well begun is half done. B．What pains us shapes us. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．Interest starts with practice. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过讲述个人的经历，论述了在人生的早期阶段，在农村长大给成长带来的好处。 1．推理判断题。根据首段“Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart—The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web.(在农村社区长大，我一直热爱乡村、动物和大自然。我小时候读的书里经常有动物的身影——《怕黑的猫头鹰》、《夏洛的网》。)”可知，该段介绍了作者在农村成长的经历带来的影响，由此可知，本文是通过介绍个人经历引入话题的。故选C项。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own.(当孩子们参观学校时，看到我们家庭农场里动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频，他们的脸上都露出了喜悦的表情。)”可知，孩子们看到农场里的动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频时，他们都会感到开心，结合划线单词所在的句子“If a spark of interest can be…early, it can only be a good thing going forward.(如果兴趣的火花能够及早被……，那么它在将来只会是一件好事。)”可推知，兴趣的火花被尽早“点燃”，在将来会是一件好事，划线单词的意思应与A项“Awakened点燃”意义相近。故选A项。 3．细节理解题，根据倒数第二段中的“Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork—both fantastic life skills.(它建立了责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础。我们一家人经常在农场一起工作，这建立了强烈的职业道德和团队意识——这两种都是很棒的生活技能。)”可知，早期与农场接触可以让孩子建立责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础，还可以形成强烈的职业道德和团队意识这样的生活技能，由此可知，早期与农场的接触可以培养儿童的性格和能力。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据尾段“I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love.(我坚信你不知道你会爱上什么，除非你尝试过。我的希望是，如果来自非农村背景的孩子们能体验一下农场的生活，那么他们可能会发现自己喜欢的东西。)”可知，作者认为只有你尝试过才会爱上，同时，作者希望没有农村成长背景的孩子来体验一下农场生活会发现自己喜欢的东西，由此可知，作者赞成的观点是兴趣源于实践。故选D项。 （23-24高一下·江苏南京·期中）There isn’t much doubt that one of the most influential people in my life was my grandmother Lizzie Kerns. My brother Mike started the family custom of moving in with Granny Kerns during our high school years. I lived with her all through my senior year. She lives very close to the school, so I’d come over and eat lunch with her. On game days, I’d come over and take a nap from about four o’clock to seven-thirty, since game time was eight o’clock. I’d just go there, lie on the floor and go to sleep. Granny would come in at seven-thirty and say, “You’d better get up. You'll be playing in half an hour.” We used to shoot free throws every morning at six o'clock. One day I just wanted to sleep in. Granny woke me up and said, “Larry, those other boys are down there. You should be down there with them.” I got up and went to free throw practice. Mark and I would be at Granny's for supper and later on, just before it was time to go to bed, Mark would say, “Mmm, some popcorn would taste good right now. Larry, what would you think about some popcorn?” Granny wouldn’t say a thing. But the next thing you knew, she’d have that pan out and you’d hear that popping sound in the kitchen. We started moving in with her because we just didn’t have enough room. It was always a problem. After Mike started it, Mark did it for a while and then me. Later on, Eddie used to eat lunch there every day. Granny was proud of all her grandkids. Oh, she read everything about me she could get her hands on and she knew I’d signed contracts (合同) for big money, but she never discussed it. None of us got special treatment. Granny loved all of us and that's the way it should be. I’d have given her anything, but what she really wanted was security. Granny just wanted to know she had enough to get by. She always told me one thing, “I’m not afraid to die. When I get old and can’t do it anymore, I'm not going to be afraid to die.” That showed me a lot. Unfortunately, Granny passed away while I was writing this, so she was never able to see that I dedicated (献给) my book to her. 1．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Both Mike and the author were lazy and playful. B．Granny always had a nice way of handling things. C．The author preferred sleeping to playing basketball. D．Granny was good at controlling her grandchildren's life. 2．According to the passage, which words can best describe Granny Lizzie Kerns? A．Strict and tough. B．Determined and fair. C．Loving and considerate. D．Optimistic and tolerant. 3．Why did Granny never mention the author’s success at home? A．She didn’t take pride in the author's success. B．She was trying to treat all grandchildren equally. C．She didn’t know the author had made a good fortune. D．She was afraid that the author would be too proud of himself. 4．Why did the author feel regretful when writing the book? A．Granny didn’t know he wrote a book. B．Granny didn’t know how much she meant to him. C．Granny died and couldn’t take care of him any more. D．Granny couldn’t read the book written in honor of her. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者对他的祖母Lizzie Kerns的深深的怀念和对她的影响。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Granny would come in at seven-thirty and say, “You’d better get up. You'll be playing in half an hour.” We used to shoot free throws every morning at six o'clock. One day I just wanted to sleep in. Granny woke me up and said, “Larry, those other boys are down there. You should be down there with them.” I got up and went to free throw practice.”（ 奶奶会在七点半进来说：“你最好起床。半小时后你就要上场了。”我们以前每天早上六点罚球。有一天，我只想睡懒觉。奶奶把我叫醒，说：“拉里，其他男孩在下面。你应该和他们在一起。”我起床去练习罚球。）可知，祖母总是以一种很好的方式处理事情，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Granny wouldn’t say a thing. But the next thing you knew, she’d have that pan out and you’d hear that popping sound in the kitchen.”（奶奶什么也没说。但接下来，她就会把锅拿出来然后你就会听到厨房里的爆米花的爆裂声。）根据第五段“Granny loved all of us”（奶奶爱我们所有人）可推知，祖母是一个充满爱心和体贴的人，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“She knew I’d signed contracts (合同) for big money, but she never discussed it. None of us got special treatment.”（她知道我签了一大笔钱的合同，但她从不讨论这个。我们都没有得到特殊待遇。）可推知，为什么祖母在家里从不提作者的成功是因为祖母试图平等地对待所有的孙子，故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Unfortunately, Granny passed away while I was writing this, so she was never able to see that I dedicated (献给) my book to her.”（不幸的是，当我写这本书的时候，祖母去世了，所以她从未看到我写给她的书。）可知，作者感到遗憾的是祖母不能看到他为她写的书，故选D。 （23-24高一下·浙江温州·期末）On a Saturday morning last November, I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛). I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim. I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?” “It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.” She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran. I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress. I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I  came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate. 1．Why did the author take up running? A．By chance. B．Due to stress. C．Out of interest. D．For weight loss. 2．What benefit did the author get from running? A．Having a regular life style. B．Escaping from her problems. C．Doing well in school work. D．Getting along well with Mom. 3．What does paragraph 6 mainly talk about? A．The running process. B．The team spirit. C．The training hardship. D．The race purpose. 4．What can we learn form the passage? A．Every dog has its day. B．Challenges build character. C．Talent is the key to success. D．Accidents can lead to the right path. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者是如何开始跑步以及跑步给作者带来的积极改变。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.(直到一个女孩走到我面前对我说：“你看起来像一个优秀的跑步者。你想加入田径队吗？”她认为我会成为一名优秀的跑步者，因为她看到我的腿和胳膊都很结实，但我只是天生苗条)”可知，作者开始跑步是因为偶然。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.(田径帮我摆脱了麻烦。和妈妈的争吵，作业上的问题，和孩子们在学校的闹剧。每次跑步我都感到很平静)”可知，跑步让作者远离她遇到的问题。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据第六段“I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.(我7点到Armory。我的队伍已经在那里了。我们互相拥抱和击掌。当裁判宣布开始接力赛时，我走到起跑线上。然后枪响了。当我在赛道上狂飙的时候，我的注意力都集中在自己身上。我开始摆脱自己的问题。除了终点线，我什么也看不见。其他的一切都是一片模糊。我奋力冲向终点线。我不只是在和其他队伍对抗；我也在努力战胜压力)”可知，第六段主要讲了跑步过程。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.(我变得更快更专注了。田径帮我摆脱了麻烦。和妈妈的争吵，作业上的问题，和孩子们在学校的闹剧。每次跑步我都感到很平静)”结合文章主要讲述了作者是如何开始跑步以及跑步给作者带来的积极改变，可知，故事告诉我们挑战能够塑造性格。故选B。 （23-24高一下·江西赣州·期末）Two days after Alice Munro died, I went to an event in New York and found myself among strangers. A woman asked me if I’d heard that the great “Janet Munro” had died. Janet? The confusion was cleared up, and another woman told me that Munro wrote only stories, not novels. Next came the usual question, which people often ask of someone who writes novels and stories: “Which is easier for you?” Easy? That’s an adjective that I’ve never connected with literature. I felt uneasy, thinking that these people might only know Munro for her fame. For a moment I wanted to ask about their favorite Munro story, but I did not. Because I wouldn’t have known the answer, either. I first read Munro in my late 20s. Over the years I have become a revisitor of her writing. And between the revisits life kept changing: marriage, different jobs, giving birth to and parenting two children, losing them six years apart, and now, still feeling sad. I last read Munro in the summer of 2022, on a family holiday near Lake Geneva. I had lost one child then; I did not yet know what was to come. I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply. Rereading the passage today, I can’t say I am more clear-headed than I was then. Only, I’ve come further in life, with new knowledge about what is called reality. Stories, at least the kind Munro had written in her career that lasted more than 40 years, are life itself. Rereading Munro is demanding — it asks the readers not to shy away from life; rewarding, too, as I am certain many of Munro’s readers will agree. 1．What does the author think of the people at the event? A．They focused on Munro’s novels. B．They were professionals in literature. C．They knew a lot about Munro’s life. D．They hadn’t read Munro’s works deeply. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The themes in Munro’s writing. B．Munro’s influence on other writers. C．The author’s favorite Munro story. D．The author’s personal reading journey. 3．Why did the author underline the sentence about reality? A．It mirrored her feelings. B．It was a famous saying. C．It was the only part she liked. D．It inspired her to reread it. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards Munro’s stories? A．Uncertain. B．Critical. C．Objective. D．Appreciative. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在Alice Munro去世后参加纽约的一次活动，发现人们对Munro的了解仅限于她的名声，而非深入阅读她的作品。作者回顾了自己阅读Munro作品的经历，以及这些作品如何陪伴并影响了自己的人生。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I felt uneasy, thinking that these people might only know Munro for her fame.(我感到不安，心想这些人可能只是因为她的名气才知道门罗)”可知，作者认为这些人知道门罗是因为门罗的名气，而不是因为门罗的作品。由此推知，作者认为这些人并没有深入阅读门罗的作品。故选D项。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段“I first read Munro in my late 20s. Over the years I have become a revisitor of her writing. And between the revisits life kept changing: marriage, different jobs, giving birth to and parenting two children, losing them six years apart, and now, still feeling sad. I last read Munro in the summer of 2022, on a family holiday near Lake Geneva. I had lost one child then; I did not yet know what was to come. I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply.(我第一次读门罗的作品是在二十多岁快结束时。这些年来，我一再重读她的作品。而在这些重读之间，我的生活不断发生变化：结婚、换工作、生养两个孩子、在六年内先后失去他们，直到现在，我仍然感到悲伤。我最后一次读门罗的作品是在2022年夏天，那时我们全家在日内瓦湖附近度假。当时我已经失去了一个孩子，但我还不知道接下来会发生什么。我清楚地记得，当一对天鹅轻松地游过我身旁时，我划下了一句话：“她没有把这当成现实，也没有把其他任何东西当成现实，这就是她知道自己是理智的原因。”这句话反映了我的情绪，深深地触动了我)”可知，本段主要讲述了作者自己阅读门罗作品的经历以及这些作品对自己生活的影响，讲述了作者的个人阅读之旅。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply.(我清楚地记得，当一对天鹅轻松地游过我身旁时，我划下了一句话：“她没有把这当成现实，也没有把其他任何东西当成现实，这就是她知道自己是理智的原因。”这句话反映了我的情绪，深深地触动了我)”可知，作者划线的原因是这句话反映了她的感受，深深地触动了她。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“Rereading the passage today, I can’t say I am more clear-headed than I was then. Only, I’ve come further in life, with new knowledge about what is called reality.(今天重读这篇文章，我不能说我的头脑比那时更清醒了。只是，我在生活中走得更远，对所谓的现实有了新的认识)”和最后一段中“Rereading Munro is demanding — it asks the readers not to shy away from life; rewarding, too, as I am certain many of Munro’s readers will agree.(重读门罗的作品是要求很高的——它要求读者不要逃避生活；同时也是很有回报的，我相信门罗的许多读者都会同意这一点)”可知，作者认为门罗的作品能带给自己新的认知，能带来很高的回报，这说明作者对门罗的作品持欣赏的态度。故选D项。 记叙文之人与社会 （23-24高一下·辽宁大连·期末）The founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator (参议员). During the late 1960s, Americans experienced the unexpected side effects of high productivity of industry. Factories were giving out smoke while leaded petrol were used for vehicles, making air pollution increasingly severe. What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill (溢出) in California, which had killed about 3,500 sea birds, besides sea animals like dolphins and seals, causing great public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that time, Nelson found it a proper time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. And the sure-fire way was through public pressure. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental awareness took center stage. On 22nd April 1970, millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for a sustainable environment and thousands of students marched against the worsening environment. Different groups were now working together for a shared goal — environmental conservation and the effort became effective. The government took tougher measures and affected businesses were forced to follow standards. As environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a joint effort towards protecting the environment. For his role as founder of Earth Day, Senator Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1995), the highest honour in the USA, by then US President Clinton. We salute (致敬) the man, as the fight for cleaner environment continues. 1．What motivated Senator Nelson to start Earth Day? A．High productivity of industry. B．Increasingly severe air pollution. C．The 1969 oil spill in the USA． D．The students’ involvement in war. 2．What played an essential role in the birth of Earth Day? A．Students’ movement. B．Strict regulations. C．Government’s measures. D．Public pressure. 3．In which year did Earth Day start to draw the world’s attention? A．1970. B．1990. C．1992. D．1995. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The establishment of Earth Day. B．The effort of going green globally. C．Fighting for cleaner environment. D．Honoring the founder of Earth Day. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了地球日创始人盖洛德•尼尔森创办地球日的由来，以及为提高公众保护环境意识、为保护地球所作出的贡献。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill in California (促使参议员尼尔森采取行动的是1969年加州发生的大规模石油泄漏)”可知，1969年美国加州的石油泄漏事件促使参议员尼尔森采取行动创办了地球日。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“And the sure-fire way was through public pressure. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental awareness took center stage.(而确保成功的方法是通过公众的压力。于是，1970年地球日诞生了，公众环保意识成为了中心议题)”可知，在地球日的诞生过程中，公众压力起到了至关重要的作用。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“As environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world.(由于环境问题不仅仅是局部问题，而是一个全球性的问题，1990年，地球日吸引了世界各地更多人的关注)”可知，地球日在1990年开始引起全世界的关注。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中“The founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator (参议员). (地球日的创始人是盖洛德·纳尔逊，当时他是美国参议员)”、第二段中“ Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental awareness took center stage.(于是，1970年地球日诞生了，公众的环保意识占据了舞台的中心)”和最后一段中“For his role as founder of Earth Day, Senator Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1995), the highest honour in the USA, by then US President Clinton. We salute (致敬) the man, as the fight for cleaner environment continues.(由于他作为地球日的创始人，纳尔逊参议员被当时的美国总统克林顿授予总统自由勋章(1995)，这是美国的最高荣誉。我们向他致敬，为更清洁的环境而战。)”可知，文章主要介绍了地球日创始人盖洛德•尼尔森创办地球日的由来，以及为共同努力保护环境所作出的贡献；由此可知，本文的主旨是纪念地球日的创始人Gaylord Nelson，D项“Honoring the founder of Earth Day(纪念地球日的创始人)”符合本文主旨。故选D项。 （23-24高一下·黑龙江大庆·期末）In April 2022, Uday Bhatia, a student from Delhi, India, visited Bichpuri as a volunteer for a 2-day programme. During his stay, he found that the biggest problem the local children faced was frequent power cuts, which made it difficult for them to study. That left a deep impact on Uday. Uday came back to Delhi and took immediate action to address the problem. He soon understood that residents of villages like Bichpuri couldn’t afford electrical devices. He wanted to find and develop a solution to rural India’s power shortage. After 24 attempts, the 18-year-old built the solution — Uday Electric — a bulb that can offer a power backup of almost 10 hours in case of a power cut. Explaining how the bulb works, Uday states that the technology used is very simple. “When the bulb is connected to a power source, energy gets stored in the battery. When the power supply is cut off, the bulb uses the energy stored in the battery to give out light,” he explains. At first, he built a bulb with a four-hour backup. But he wanted to provide a backup of 8-10 hours. Thanks to his love of computer science, he developed a way to change the bulb’s brightness, increasing the backup time without increasing the size of the battery. The bulb now comes with settings to change the brightness. Uday sold each bulb at only Rs 250 (3 dollars) and has so far sold over 7, 000 units in many remote villages. But what Uday did went beyond business; he donated 950 units to houses in the poorest areas through a non-governmental organisation, bringing joy to those living without electricity. “When I saw the joy on people’s faces when their houses were lit up, I felt on top of the world. No feeling could come close to it,” says Uday. Uday won the Diana Award 2023, which honours “outstanding young people selflessly creating positive social change”. He wishes to bring bulb to as many houses as he can in the coming years. 1．What inspired Uday to invent Uday Electric? A．A study he did at school. B．A volunteering experience. C．His interest in computer science. D．The power cuts he faced every day. 2．What can we learn about Uday Electric? A．It is big and solar-powered. B．It can produce many colours. C．It can work without batteries. D．It is affordable and effective. 3．How does Uday sound in paragraph 5? A．Satisfied. B．Formal. C．Confident. D．Humorous. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．A solution to end India’s power shortage B．A young Indian changemaker giving back C．Teen’s bright idea lights rural India D．The inspiring journey of a teenage Indian’s success 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文属于记叙文。印度学生Uday Bhatia在志愿活动中发现农村频繁停电影响儿童学习，决定解决此问题。他发明了一种可提供近10小时备用电源的灯泡，并以低价出售给偏远村庄。他还通过非政府组织向最贫困地区捐赠了灯泡，为无电家庭带去光明。Uday因此荣获2023年戴安娜奖。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In April 2022, Uday Bhatia, a student from Delhi, India, visited Bichpuri as a volunteer for a 2-day programme. During his stay, he found that the biggest problem the local children faced was frequent power cuts, which made it difficult for them to study.”（2022年4月，来自印度德里的学生乌代·巴蒂亚作为志愿者参加了为期两天的比奇普利项目。在那里他发现当地儿童面临的最大问题是频繁的停电，这使得他们很难学习。）、第二段中“Uday came back to Delhi and took immediate action to address the problem.”（乌代回到德里，立即采取行动解决这个问题。）和“After 24 attempts, the 18-year-old built the solution-Uday Electric-a bulb that can offer a power backup of almost 10 hours in case of a power cut.”（经过24次尝试，这位18岁的年轻人终于做出了解决方案——Uday Electric——这种灯泡可以在停电的情况下提供近10小时的备用电力。）可知，是Uday的一次志愿者经历启发了他发明Uday Electric。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Uday sold each bulb at only Rs 250 (3 dollars) and has so far sold over 7, 000 units in many remote villages.”（Uday以每只250卢比（3美元）的价格出售灯泡，到目前为止，已在许多偏远村庄售出7000多只。）可知，Uday Electric的销量可观，说明乌代发明的灯泡是有效的，且价格便宜。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中Uday的话“When I saw the joy on people’s faces when their houses were lit up, I felt on top of the world. No feeling could come close to it”（当我看到人们的房子被点亮时他们脸上的喜悦，我感觉自己达到了人生的巅峰。没有什么感觉能比得上。）可推知，Uday对自己所做的事情感到非常满意。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合第二段中“He soon understood that residents of villages like Bichpuri couldn’t afford electrical devices. He wanted to find and develop a solution to rural India’s power shortage. After 24 attempts, the 18-year-old built the solution — Uday Electric — a bulb that can offer a power backup of almost 10 hours in case of a power cut.”（他很快就明白，像比奇普里这样的村庄的居民买不起电器。他想找到并开发一种解决印度农村电力短缺的方法。经过24次尝试，这位18岁的年轻人终于找到了解决方案——Uday Electric——这种灯泡可以在停电的情况下提供近10小时的备用电力。）可知，文章主要介绍了一个来自印度的年轻人Uday为了解决偏远地区频繁停电问题而发明了一种可以提供近10小时备用电源的灯泡，并低价出售给偏远村庄的人，甚至捐赠给最贫困地区的家庭。所以“Teen’s bright idea lights rural India”（少年的好主意照亮了印度农村）能概括出文章的中心思想，最适合作文章标题。故选C项。 （23-24高一下·黑龙江大庆·期末）I live abroad, so social media is key in my communication with friends; yet many didn't realise I was sick for months. I was struggling to connect and communicate with anyone on any level. As I searched on the Internet trying to understand what was happening to me, websites gave me the answer—depression. I researched topics about treatment and read others' articles about their experiences. I began to feel understood, less alone and more informed. I set up a social media account choosing the name itreallyisok; I wanted to build on the sentence I had seen over and over again online, which had brought me so much comfort. It's OK to not be OK. It took me a long time to accept this but doing so really helped with my recovery. Writing and sharing really helped me process what I was going through; and receiving other people's support was hugely beneficial to me as well. The highlight of my social media experience, however, was coming into contact with someone on the other side of the world who supported me through a three-week crisis. During a particularly difficult stage of my recovery, my doctor suddenly went off sick. I was struggling to talk to anyone close to me at the time. Hesitantly, I got in touch with a psychologist who had regularly shared posts that I'd connected with. This stranger helped me so much and her response, when I asked her why, blew me away. Through her I learnt that we might not be able to change the world at one blow but we can change the world of one person at a time. As you can see, the Internet and social media have been hugely beneficial in helping me get through a difficult journey. Despite many of the warnings, I can highly recommend it as a way to keep in touch with those you can relate to. As with anything though, connect with care. 1．What was wrong with the author? A．She felt lonely living abroad. B．She suffered from depression. C．She had trouble making friends. D．She was addicted to social media. 2．Why did the author choose the name itreallyisok for her social media account? A．To be different from other users. B．To tell the world she was OK. C．To get comfort from others online. D．To encourage herself to accept illness. 3．What did the author do when her doctor fell ill? A．She reached out to an expert online for help. B．She tried hard to connect with her friends C．She travelled to the other side of the world to relax. D．She shared posts regularly online to feel less lonely. 4．What did the author learn from the stranger? A．Despite the forecast, live like it's spring. B．Talking to your friends is sometimes all you need. C．One can change the world by starting with one person. D．Each person must live their life as a model for others. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【分析】这篇文章是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在异国他乡生活时，通过社交媒体与朋友保持联系，并在经历抑郁期间，如何通过互联网和社交媒体找到支持和安慰，最终走出困境的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的描述“As I searched on the Internet trying to understand what was happening to me, websites gave me the answer—depression.（当我在互联网上搜索，试图理解发生在我身上的事情时，网站给了我答案——抑郁症。）”可知，作者的问题是抑郁。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的描述“I set up a social media account choosing the name itreallyisok; I wanted to build on the sentence I had seen over and over again online, which had brought me so much comfort. It's OK to not be OK.（我创建了一个社交媒体账户，并选择了名字“itreallyisok”；我想在那个我在网上一遍又一遍看到的、给我带来许多安慰的句子上继续发展。“不OK也没关系。”）”可知，作者选择这个名字是为了鼓励自己接受病情。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的描述“During a particularly difficult stage of my recovery, my doctor suddenly went off sick. Hesitantly, I got in touch with a psychologist who had regularly shared posts that I'd connected with.（在我康复过程中特别困难的一个阶段，我的医生突然生病了。我犹豫地联系了一位心理学家，他经常分享我感同身受的帖子。）”可知，当作者的医生生病时，她联系了一个经常分享她认同帖子的心理学家。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的描述“Through her I learnt that we might not be able to change the world at one blow but we can change the world of one person at a time.（通过她，我了解到我们可能无法一举改变世界，但我们可以通过一次改变一个人来改变世界。）”可知，作者从陌生人那里学到的是，一个人可以通过一次改变一个人的方式来改变世界。故选C。 【点睛】 （23-24高一下·宁夏银川·期末）The sun is about to set when we reach our destination, the home of a nomadic (游牧的) herder (牧民) family. My host, Batbayer, has a cheerful face, with deep wrinkles and a color from long hours working outdoors, giving him the look of a sailor from an Ernest Hemingway novel. We have pre-arranged our visit but travelers in Mongolia can drive up to pretty much any ger and feel welcomed to stay. You don’t knock on the door: when you approach a nomadic family, a customary greeting is to say a kindly “Hold your dog.”, even if you don’t see a dog. We feast at the family home on one of the country’s most distinct and tasty dishes: khorkhog, or mutton cooked using hot rocks. This comes served with onions, a variety of berries, and milk-besides more plates of meat, all from the family’s own livestock (家畜). Mongolia is home to one of the world’s few remaining truly nomadic cultures. About a fifth of the population are herders, and nomadism is complexly woven into the country’s spirit. But modern life is catching up with the people on the grassland at rapid speed. This is in large part what my book is about: an outsider’s exploration of a society undergoing modernization while trying to hold fast to its deeply rooted traditional values. Many of the livestock here, especially the more valuable breeds such as horses, camels and cattle, are implanted with microchips that can be monitored via satellite-based services. “I would like to use the Internet more because it’s fun and useful; but the animals like it here. This is a good place for them,” Batbayer says when I ask if better Internet connectivity might influence where to move his livestock next. “I would never choose Facebook over the well-being of the animals.” 1．Which aspect of the herders does the author focus on in paragraph 1? A．Living conditions. B．Pet preference. C．Reading habits. D．Friendliness. 2．What do we know about nomadic culture? A．Herders have no access to fruits and vegetables. B．It is the world’s dominant culture. C．The majority of Mongolians are herders. D．Herders’ life is being modernized. 3．What can we infer from Batbayer’s words in the last paragraph? A．He refuses to use social media. B．He will no longer employ microchips. C．He puts the welfare of livestock at first. D．He will introduce more valuable breeds. 4．What is the text? A．A book review. B．A folk tale. C．a field report. D．A travel journal. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者拜访蒙古游牧民族家庭，体验了当地独特的饮食和文化的经历。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段的“My host, Batbayer, has a cheerful face, with deep wrinkles and a color from long hours working outdoors, giving him the look of a sailor from an Ernest Hemingway novel. We have pre-arranged our visit but travelers in Mongolia can drive up to pretty much any ger and feel welcomed to stay. You don’t knock on the door: when you approach a nomadic family, a customary greeting is to say a kindly “Hold your dog.”, even if you don’t see a dog.(我造访的男主人巴特拜尔有一张愉快的面容，皱纹很深，长时间在户外工作后的肤色，让他看起来像欧内斯特·海明威小说中的水手。我们已经提前安排了行程，但是在蒙古的游客可以开车到几乎任何蒙古包，并感到很受欢迎。你不用敲门：当你走近一个游牧家庭时，习惯上的问候是亲切地说一句“抱一下你们的狗”，即使你没有看到狗。)”可知，游客可以自由地造访牧民的家，无拘无束，因此作者强调了牧民的友好。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Mongolia is home to one of the world’s few remaining truly nomadic cultures. About a fifth of the population are herders, and nomadism is complexly woven into the country’s spirit. But modern life is catching up with the people on the grassland at rapid speed. This is in large part what my book is about: an outsider’s exploration of a society undergoing modernization while trying to hold fast to its deeply rooted traditional values.(蒙古是世界上仅存的少数真正的游牧文化之一。大约五分之一的人口是牧民，游牧精神已经复杂地融入了这个国家的精神。但现代生活正以极快的速度追赶着草原上的人们。这在很大程度上是我这本书的主题：一个局外人对一个正在经历现代化的社会的探索，同时试图坚持其根深蒂固的传统价值观。) ”可知，牧民的传统生活与现代生活融合在一起，牧民的生活正走向现代化。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段的““I would like to use the Internet more because it’s fun and useful; but the animals like it here. This is a good place for them,” Batbayer says when I ask if better Internet connectivity might influence where to move his livestock next. “I would never choose Facebook over the well-being of the animals.”(“我想更多地使用互联网，因为它既有趣又有用；但是动物们喜欢这里。这对他们来说是一个好地方，”当我问到更好的互联网连接是否会影响下一步将他的牲畜转移到哪里时，巴特拜尔说。“我永远不会为了Facebook而放弃动物的福祉。”)”可知，巴特拜尔优先考虑的是牲畜的福利，要为牲畜选择适合它们生活的地方。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段的“The sun is about to set when we reach our destination, the home of a nomadic herder family.

On a class field trip, William met the forester, Victor, who had been living in a wooden house in the forest over ten years. When learning Victor’s life, William laughed at him with his friends. During the field trip, William and his classmates passed by an entrance to a cave. “This looks so cool!” William exclaimed. He wanted to go inside the cave, but his teacher stopped him. The next day, William reached the cave with his four friends, only to find they couldn’t take their schoolbags through the entrance. One by one, the teenagers entered the cave and were amazed to see how wide it was from the inside. Albert picked a large stone up and hit one of the walls with it. “This place is so cool!” he laughed quietly before the rocks from the wall came falling. “Watch out, Albert!” William said and pulled Albert towards himself. The teenagers screamed in fear when they saw the rocks fall. They couldn’t see anything because of the dust floating in the air. The friends were scared when they realized they were trapped in the cave. The teenagers started screaming for help, hoping someone would hear them. Fate sent Victor to the cave. The forester picked berries every other day from the trees near the cave. While he was walking back to his house, five bright-colored schoolbags caught his attention. Then he approached the cave and shouted, “Hey! Who’s in there?” “I’m William! I came here yesterday with my teacher! Help us, please! We are stuck!” “Okay, calm down, children! I’ll help you out!” Victor said. Victor quickly called 911 and informed them about the emergency. Thinking the paramedics would take at least twenty minutes to arrive, he decided to help the kids himself before it was too late. Victor quickly grabbed a shovel and a flashlight and rushed back to the cave’s entrance. Meanwhile, William and his friends tried to stay calm. A few minutes later, they could see the flashlight shine through the cave’s entrance. Seconds later, they rushed outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air.

The 17-year-old boy went viral (走红) on Sina Weibo recently for his knowledge of biology, which led him to discover a new species of freshwater crabs of Sinolapotamon in 2022. Zhang’s father, who was born in a rural area, loved catching fish and crabs himself at an early age, so Zhang was always taken outdoors by his parents to explore as much as possible and observe little creatures quietly without being interrupted. Now a grade 12 student at Yulin High School, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Zhang has dozens of “living treasures” that he has collected from the outdoors, including insects, fish, shrimps and crabs. “This one is a species of Nanhaipotamon that I caught in a mountainous area,” said Zhang, pointing to a bright-colored crab moving its amusing eyes around. “You can see it just shed its shell.” There is also a row of empty bottles and jars in Zhang’s room to store his specimens (标本). “I can notice the small differences between two shrimps, and then I take them back to my room for further observation,” said Zhang. It is the microscope his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini biology lab than anything else. It’s a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying or observing the specimens of shrimps and crabs day and night. With the help of his microscope, Zhang concentrates on exploring the natural world. Sometimes he spends hours simply examining a piece of fish scale, the leg of a crab or the antenna of an insect. He often works so late that his parents have to force him to go to bed. “I’m often amazed by what I see while placing these tiny and fragile things under the microscope. No matter how unimportant an insect is, each life is so delicately and uniquely organized,” said Zhang. 1．What made Zhang popular on Sina Weibo? A．His meeting with shrimps and crabs. B．His videos of outdoor adventures. C．His discovery of a new type of crab. D．His collection of “living treasures”. 2．What inspired Zhang’s interest in exploring nature? A．His father’s early job. B．A crab he once caught. C．His school’s field trips. D．His childhood experiences. 3．What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A．Zhang’s tools for observations. B．Zhang’s achievements in biology. C．Zhang’s mini biology lab at home. D．Zhang’s addiction to his specimens. 4．Which of the following best describes Zhang? A．Honest and energetic. B．Outgoing and adventurous.

They call this their “Qomolangma selfie”. To get it, more than a few people have risked everything and tragically, many have died during the climb, with their precious images still locked in their cameras. But as a professional climber who’s spent the past. two decades pursuing summits (顶峰) all over the world, I had refused the idea of an expedition (探险) to Mount Qomolangma. The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical (垂直) wall to the safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountains ever since. I would have never changed my mind, were it not for an old friend and his devotion to one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries — whether Mallory, a legendary British climber, might have reached the top in 1924 — nearly 30 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. The camera he likely carried had never been found. That’s how I found myself searching for a long-lost climber and, just maybe, history’s first highest point selfie. My expedition didn’t find the camera, but it did cause me to reconsider Mount Qomolangma. As I packed for Xizang, I expected that our state-of-the-art equipment and bottled oxygen would make the climb manageable, perhaps easy.

I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical wall to the. safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountain s ever since.(我尝试攀登的第一座山只是一座500英尺高的悬崖。我和一个朋友一起爬了几百英尺，爬上了几乎垂直的墙。安全的小岩架。我们肩并肩坐着，看着太阳向地平线下沉，对我们所做的一切感到惊讶，并想知道我们该如何下山。做一件大多数人不会想到的事情所带来的兴奋、山顶美景的发现以及我和朋友之间的纽带，这些都定义了我在这座山所追寻的意义。)”可知，本段主要介绍了作者第一次的登山经历并在最后一句话点明了他登山所追寻的意义与关注点，所以，他提及第一次爬山经历的目的是为了说明其登山的关注点，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route.(事实上，当我拍下第一张照片时，我比任何一次探险都要疲惫。一路上，我不断地脱帽致敬，不仅向马洛里致敬，也向所有有动力走这条路的人致敬。)”可知，作者成功登顶珠峰时比之前任何一次攀登经历都要筋疲力尽，从作者的感受可以看出，此次珠峰之行是有挑战性的，故选B。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，根据第二段的“The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.(这座山似乎代表了我所热爱和尊重的攀岩的对立面。)”和最后一段的“Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route.(事实上，当我拍下第一张照片时，我比任何一次探险都要疲惫。一路上，我不断地脱帽致敬，不仅向马洛里致敬，也向所有有动力走这条路的人致敬。)”可知，作者起初抗拒攀登珠峰，后来跟随朋友成功登顶，此次珠峰之旅使他切身地体验到了攀登珠峰的艰辛与对人毅力的考验，这种体验与感受使他一路不断地脱帽致敬以往的登山者们，所以珠峰自拍的背后是对毅力的考验，故选C。 （23-24高一下·河南·期末）Last summer on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, Tina Taniguchi worked close to the ground. Her coconut leaf hat covered most of her thick brown hair. Wet soil had gotten on her clothes and her smiling face. Taniguchi smiles a lot while working on the Hanapepe salt land on the west side of Kauai. It is a piece of land about half a hectare in size with pools of salty water. The salt becomes crystals (晶体)as the water dries. “The work is tiring, but for me it’s also play,” Taniguchi said with a laugh. Taniguchi’s family is one of 22 families who make salt, following a cultural and spiritual tradition. Hanapepe is one of the last remaining salt lands in Hawaii. Its salt can be traded or given away but must never be sold. Hawaiians use it in cooking, healing, and as protection. Over the past 10 years, there have been several threats to this field. They encompass development, pollution from a neighboring airfield, damage to the sand from vehicle traffic and waste left by visitors to the nearby beach. In addition, rising sea levels and weather might stop the practice. The process of turning sea water into salt can be slow. The season begins once the rain stops and water starts to disappear from the salt beds. Ocean water travels underground and enters the wells. Each family has their own well. As water enters the well, so do tiny, red brine shrimp. These small ocean animals give Hanapepe salt its unusual, sweet taste. The families first clean the salt beds and line them with black clay (陶土). Then they move water from the wells into the beds. There, salt crystals form. The top level, or layer, is the whitest. It is used for table salt. The middle layer is pinkish and is used in cooking, while the bottom layer, which is a deep red color, is used in blessings. 1．What do we know about Taniguchi? A．She gives salt to others as a gift. B．She works hard but with pleasure. C．She has found a new way to make salt. D．She fears old traditions will disappear. 2．What are Hawaiians not allowed to do with their salt? A．Trade goods with it. B．Use it as a treatment. C．Make money from it. D．Cook vegetables with it. 3．What does the underlined word “encompass” mean in paragraph 4? A．Prevent. B．Include. C．Improve. D．Discover. 4．What does a small sea creature bring to the traditional salt? A．The special taste of the salt. B．A thicker middle layer of salt. C．More water in the wells. D．A quicker process of making salt. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在夏威夷的Hanapepe人们用传统的方法制作有独特风味的盐，但现在他们的盐田受到了威胁。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Last summer on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, Tina Taniguchi worked close to the ground. Her coconut leaf hat covered most of her thick brown hair. Wet soil had gotten on her clothes and her smiling face.(去年夏天，在夏威夷的考艾岛，Tina Taniguchi在接近地面的地方工作。她的椰子叶帽子遮住了她浓密的棕色头发。湿土沾到了她的衣服和她的笑脸上)”和第三段中“The work is tiring, but for me it’s also play(工作很累，但对我来说，这也是一种娱乐)”可知，Taniguchi工作努力，但乐在其中。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Its salt can be traded or given away but must never be sold. (它的盐可以交换或赠送，但绝不能出售)”可知，Hawaiians不允许卖盐，即用盐赚钱。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Over the past 10 years, there have been several threats to this field. (在过去的10年里，这个领域受到了一些威胁)”可知，盐地受到了一些威胁；they指代上文提到的several threats，而下文“development, pollution from a neighboring airfield, damage to the sand from vehicle traffic and waste left by visitors to the nearby beach.(开发、邻近机场的污染、车辆对沙子的破坏以及游客在附近海滩留下的废物)”列举了一些带来威胁的事情，由此可知，此处是指这些威胁包括开发、邻近机场的污染、车辆对沙子的破坏以及游客在附近海滩留下的废物。即encompass意为“包括”，与include同义。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“As water enters the well, so do tiny, red brine shrimp. These small ocean animals give Hanapepe salt its unusual, sweet taste.(随着水进入井中，微小的红色盐水虾也进入井中。这些小型海洋动物赋予哈纳佩佩盐独特的甜味)”可知，一种小型海洋生物给盐带来了独特的风味——甜味。故选A。 （23-24高一下·西藏拉萨·期末）Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling (隆隆的) sound heard across the ground. Jason’s father immediately realized that a tornado (龙卷风) was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn’t see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn’t getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air. As he made his way towards the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch (灌溉渠). In a panic, he scrambled  (爬) to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before. After a while, the winds died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage. He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug. “Jason! How are you? I’ve been worried sick about you!” said his father. “I couldn’t find you anywhere!” Jason breathed a sigh of a relief (松了一口气) and sat down. He did have a story to tell! 1．From Paragraph 1, we can get the ________ of the story. A．background B．development C．climax (most exciting part) D．ending 2．Which of the following is the right order according to the passage? ① Jason nervously looked around from the irrigation ditch. ② Jason ran across the room and gave his father a big hug. ③ Jason got out of the car. ④ Jason noticed a field to his right. A．②①③④ B．③④①② C．④①②③ D．③①②④ 3．The underlined word “Debris” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A．we should wait patiently until help comes B．we should work hard to make our dreams come true C．we should be brave enough to change nature D．we should be quick-thinking and believe in ourselves 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述Jason和爸爸在路途上遇到了龙卷风，Jason和父亲走散，但是他凭着思考，相信自己，最后找到了爸爸的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples.(杰森和他的父亲开车去杂货店买一些苹果)”及“The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling (隆隆的) sound heard across the ground.(天空很暗，但云层很少。当他们开车驶过街道时，地面上开始传来隆隆的声音)”可知，本段交代了故事发生的背景。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately.(他把车停了下来，让杰森马上下车)”可知，杰森首先下了车；根据文章第三段“As he made his way towards the building, he noticed a field to his right. (当他朝那栋楼走去时，他注意到右边有一块地)”可知，然后杰森注意到右边有一块地；根据文章第四段“Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around.(杰森慢慢抬起头，紧张地环顾四周)”可知，接着杰森紧张地环顾四周；根据倒数第三段“He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug.(他走进那个大房间，看见了他的爸爸。他跑过房间，给了他一个大大的拥抱)”可知，最后杰森给了爸爸一个拥抱。因此，顺序为③④①②。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Jason’s father immediately realized that a tornado (龙卷风) was coming.(杰森的父亲立刻意识到龙卷风就要来了)”及“By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear.(这时风刮得更大了，看不见也听不见了)”可推知，龙卷风要来，风刮得很大，所以碎片到处都是，划线词与broken pieces为近义词。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章讲述Jason和爸爸在路途上遇到了龙卷风，Jason和父亲走散，但是他凭着思考，相信自己，最后找到了爸爸的故事，因此，文章想要告诉我们，当遇到困难时，我们应该思维敏捷，相信自己。故选D。 （23-24高一下·海南海口·期末）In March 2023, 82-year-old Wilf Bishop found himself almost a thousand meters above sea level, snowshoeing (穿雪鞋行走) across a mountainside in Austria. “I’m not a spiritual person, but it felt so peaceful being up there, even though it was not easy,” he says. Three years earlier, his wife, Janet, had died of cancer. For Bishop who had loved Janet so deeply and had spent a lifetime talking to such a lovely woman, pain overwhelmed him and the silence seemed unbearable. “Besides, since it was the start of the Covid lockdowns, it was very isolating,” he says. Home alone, without the person he had always turned to for support, Bishop went for daily walks in the nearby Yorkshire Dales and tried to write about his experiences. “It distanced me from the pain,” he says. “It put it elsewhere for a while, on to the page, since no one can live with that amount of anguish forever.” A decade earlier. Bishop had given up skiing out of fear of taking a bad fall and doing damage to his body, but he found himself longing for the experience of being on the mountainside again. “I wanted to find a way of getting back to the outdoors, to experience the soothing wind and the majestic views,” he says. “I also needed it socially.” A mountaineering friend offered Bishop a possible solution. He suggested that Bishop try snowshoeing instead of skiing. He called up the leaders of a forthcoming week-long expedition being organized by the UK branch pf the Austrian Alpine Club. They assured him that if he could walk, he could snowshoe. By March 2023, Bishop was in the Tirol mountains in the Alps with a dozen strangers from across Europe and a trained leader. “It was a really strenuous activity, walking up to eight hours a day but I had the most wonderful time,” he says. “Plus, I was with a group of fantastic people, all open-minded, generous and keen to share this experience together.” Back at home, Bishop eagerly booked another week-long expedition for the next winter. “The snowshoeing trips have encouraged me to get healthier and practice tai chi every morning,” he says. “I’m lucky that I can maintain fitness in my older years and it’s a tremendous ego boost.” 1．What does the underlined word “anguish” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Pity. B．Anger. C．Pain. D．Anxiety. 2．What did Bishop expect to get by being on the mountainside again? A．Comfort and company. B．Amusement and happiness. C．Support and encouragement. D．Understanding and relaxation. 3．How did Bishop’s friend help Bishop? A．By practicing tai chi with him every morning. B．By turning to a mountaineering club for help. C．By accompanying him across a mountainside. D．By encouraging him to be social in the community. 4．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．A New Start from the Mountainside B．Snowshoeing in Austria C．Bishop and His Wife D．Ways to Overcome Sadness 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述2023年3月，82岁的Wilf Bishop在探险队的带领下，在海拔近1000米的奥地利山腰上穿雪鞋行走。 1．词句猜测题。由文章第二段“Three years earlier, his wife, Janet, had died of cancer. (三年前，他的妻子Janet死于癌症。)”以及“Home alone, without the person he had always turned to for support, Bishop went for daily walks in the nearby Yorkshire Dales and tried to write about his experiences. “It distanced me from the pain,” he says. “It put it elsewhere for a while, on to the page, since no one can live with that amount of anguish forever.”(Bishop独自一人在家，没有一直寻求支持的人，他每天都去附近的约克郡山谷散步，并试图写下他的经历。‘这让我远离了痛苦，’他说。‘书写把这段痛苦放在其他地方一段时间，放在纸上，因为没有人能永远忍受这种 。’)”可知，这里指Bishop无法忍受失去妻子的痛苦，也和前面pain对应，所以猜测anguish表“痛苦”的意思。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。由文章第三段“‘I wanted to find a way of getting back to the outdoors, to experience the soothing wind and the majestic views,’ he says. ‘I also needed it socially.’(他说：‘我想找到一种回到户外的方式，体验一下舒缓的风和壮丽的景色。我在社交上也需要它。’)”以及上文所讲他的痛苦和孤独可知，回到户外能让他心情得到舒缓和安慰，并且在社交上面对他也有帮助，即找到陪伴。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。由文章第四段“He called up the leaders of a forthcoming week-long expedition being organized by the UK branch pf the Austrian Alpine Club. They assured him that if he could walk, he could snowshoe.(他召集了即将到来的为期一周的探险队的领导，这次探险队由奥地利阿尔卑斯山俱乐部英国分会组织。他们向他保证，如果他能走路，他就会穿雪鞋走上山。)”可知，Bishop的朋友向登山俱乐部寻求帮助来帮助Bishop。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“In March 2023, 82-year-old Wilf Bishop found himself almost a thousand meters above sea level, snowshoeing(穿雪鞋行走) across a mountainside in Austria.(2023年3月，82岁的WilfBishop发现自己在海拔近1000米的地方，穿着雪鞋穿过奥地利的一座山腰。)”以及下文可知，文章主要讲82岁的Wilf Bishop在探险队的带领下，在海拔近1000米的奥地利山腰上雪鞋行走。所以B项Snowshoeing in Austria(在奥地利穿着雪鞋上山)符合语境。故选B项。 试卷第1页，共3页 3 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解之记叙文15篇 题号 主题 难度 话题 1 人与自我 较易 阅读 ,生活故事 2 人与自我 适中 哲理感悟,个人经历 3 人与自我 较易 家人和亲人 ,生活故事 4 人与自我 较易 个人经历 5 人与自我 适中 个人经历,文学家 6 人与社会 适中 环境保护,其他著名人物 7 人与社会 适中 发明与创造 ,善行义举（个人） 8 人与社会 适中 个人经历,网络社交 9 人与社会 适中 旅游观光 10 人与社会 适中 生活故事 11 人与自然 适中 人与动植物 12 人与自然 适中 哲理感悟,登山探险 13 人与自然 适中 周边环境与场所,人与环境 14 人与自然 较易 自然灾害与防范,个人经历 15 人与自然 适中 生活故事,登山探险 记叙文之人与自我 （23-24高一下·河南周口·期末）DJ Strickland, 13, is the creator of “Tech Boy”, his very own comic (连环画册) book, in response to the lack of diversity (多样性) he noticed while reading his favorite comic books. DJ likes the Marvel and the comic book creator Stan Lee. However, he was unhappy with the representation of superheroes in the books he read, so he decided to write his own comic. “I used to believe that you had to be at a certain age, like an adult, to go and follow your dreams and do the things that you really wanted to do,” he said. “But now I know that’s really not true.” “In the book, Tech Boy is made by a great scientist,” DJ said. “His superpower is to control technology to beat the bad guys who stand against him.” DJ said there’s a lot of himself in the character. “He looks just like me, and I’m also into technology. The character was almost directly inspired by myself.” DJ did have some challenges to deal with in bringing “Tech Boy” to life. He said he met some bad guys at that time, which caused a bad effect on him. But his mother often told him the two of them needed to continue to keep the lines of communication open. “When you start noticing behavior changes, talk to your kids,” she said. “DJ and I are very open. We talk to each other about everything.” DJ is still hard at work now, too. He’s created Team Tech Boy LLC, which has sold hundreds of copies of the comic, while also giving some away to students. When “Tech Boy” was finally published, DJ was pleased to see his effort pay off. “It was incredible to know that was my creation. I did it; it was finally there,” he said. 1．What directly caused DJ to create “Tech Boy”? A．His parents’ support. B．His hobby of painting. C．His admiration for Stan Lee. D．His dislike of the present comics. 2．Why did DJ choose technology as Tech Boy’s superpower? A．To reflect his personal interest. B．To attract readers’ interest in technology. C．To offer a popular image in his story. D．To make Tech Boy connected to modern times. 3．What does DJ’s mother think is the key to dealing with DJ’s challenges? A．Keeping an eye on his every move. B．Having a heart-to-heart talk with him. C．Giving him space without pushing him. D．Developing his sense of self-improvement. 4．How does DJ sound after the publication of “Tech Boy”? A．Care-free. B．Well-informed. C．Content. D．Confident. （23-24高一下·浙江台州·期末）Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web. Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets. It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own. Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills. I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love. 1．How does the author lead into the topic? A．By showing his desire to keep animals. B．By recommending his childhood reads. C．By sharing his own experience with nature. D．By comparing his farm life with his children’s. 2．What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Awakened. B．Expressed. C．Weakened. D．Kept. 3．What role does an early contact with farming play in children’s growth? A．A time killer. B．A character builder. C．A social connector. D．An emotional comforter. 4．Which statement does the author probably agree with? A．Well begun is half done. B．What pains us shapes us. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．Interest starts with practice. （23-24高一下·江苏南京·期中）There isn’t much doubt that one of the most influential people in my life was my grandmother Lizzie Kerns. My brother Mike started the family custom of moving in with Granny Kerns during our high school years. I lived with her all through my senior year. She lives very close to the school, so I’d come over and eat lunch with her. On game days, I’d come over and take a nap from about four o’clock to seven-thirty, since game time was eight o’clock. I’d just go there, lie on the floor and go to sleep. Granny would come in at seven-thirty and say, “You’d better get up. You'll be playing in half an hour.” We used to shoot free throws every morning at six o'clock. One day I just wanted to sleep in. Granny woke me up and said, “Larry, those other boys are down there. You should be down there with them.” I got up and went to free throw practice. Mark and I would be at Granny's for supper and later on, just before it was time to go to bed, Mark would say, “Mmm, some popcorn would taste good right now. Larry, what would you think about some popcorn?” Granny wouldn’t say a thing. But the next thing you knew, she’d have that pan out and you’d hear that popping sound in the kitchen. We started moving in with her because we just didn’t have enough room. It was always a problem. After Mike started it, Mark did it for a while and then me. Later on, Eddie used to eat lunch there every day. Granny was proud of all her grandkids. Oh, she read everything about me she could get her hands on and she knew I’d signed contracts (合同) for big money, but she never discussed it. None of us got special treatment. Granny loved all of us and that's the way it should be. I’d have given her anything, but what she really wanted was security. Granny just wanted to know she had enough to get by. She always told me one thing, “I’m not afraid to die. When I get old and can’t do it anymore, I'm not going to be afraid to die.” That showed me a lot. Unfortunately, Granny passed away while I was writing this, so she was never able to see that I dedicated (献给) my book to her. 1．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Both Mike and the author were lazy and playful. B．Granny always had a nice way of handling things. C．The author preferred sleeping to playing basketball. D．Granny was good at controlling her grandchildren's life. 2．According to the passage, which words can best describe Granny Lizzie Kerns? A．Strict and tough. B．Determined and fair. C．Loving and considerate. D．Optimistic and tolerant. 3．Why did Granny never mention the author’s success at home? A．She didn’t take pride in the author's success. B．She was trying to treat all grandchildren equally. C．She didn’t know the author had made a good fortune. D．She was afraid that the author would be too proud of himself. 4．Why did the author feel regretful when writing the book? A．Granny didn’t know he wrote a book. B．Granny didn’t know how much she meant to him. C．Granny died and couldn’t take care of him any more. D．Granny couldn’t read the book written in honor of her. （23-24高一下·浙江温州·期末）On a Saturday morning last November, I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛). I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim. I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?” “It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.” She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran. I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress. I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I  came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate. 1．Why did the author take up running? A．By chance. B．Due to stress. C．Out of interest.

A．Every dog has its day. B．Challenges build character. C．Talent is the key to success. D．Accidents can lead to the right path. （23-24高一下·江西赣州·期末）Two days after Alice Munro died, I went to an event in New York and found myself among strangers. A woman asked me if I’d heard that the great “Janet Munro” had died. Janet? The confusion was cleared up, and another woman told me that Munro wrote only stories, not novels. Next came the usual question, which people often ask of someone who writes novels and stories: “Which is easier for you?” Easy? That’s an adjective that I’ve never connected with literature. I felt uneasy, thinking that these people might only know Munro for her fame. For a moment I wanted to ask about their favorite Munro story, but I did not. Because I wouldn’t have known the answer, either. I first read Munro in my late 20s. Over the years I have become a revisitor of her writing. And between the revisits life kept changing: marriage, different jobs, giving birth to and parenting two children, losing them six years apart, and now, still feeling sad. I last read Munro in the summer of 2022, on a family holiday near Lake Geneva. I had lost one child then; I did not yet know what was to come. I clearly remember the moment I underlined a sentence when a pair of swans moved effortlessly past me: “She doesn’t mistake that for reality, and neither does she mistake anything else for reality, and that is how she knows that she is reasonable.” The sentence reflected my emotions and touched me deeply. Rereading the passage today, I can’t say I am more clear-headed than I was then. Only, I’ve come further in life, with new knowledge about what is called reality. Stories, at least the kind Munro had written in her career that lasted more than 40 years, are life itself. Rereading Munro is demanding — it asks the readers not to shy away from life; rewarding, too, as I am certain many of Munro’s readers will agree. 1．What does the author think of the people at the event? A．They focused on Munro’s novels. B．They were professionals in literature. C．They knew a lot about Munro’s life. D．They hadn’t read Munro’s works deeply. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The themes in Munro’s writing. B．Munro’s influence on other writers. C．The author’s favorite Munro story. D．The author’s personal reading journey. 3．Why did the author underline the sentence about reality? A．It mirrored her feelings. B．It was a famous saying. C．It was the only part she liked. D．It inspired her to reread it. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards Munro’s stories? A．Uncertain. B．Critical. C．Objective. D．Appreciative. 记叙文之人与社会 （23-24高一下·辽宁大连·期末）The founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator (参议员). During the late 1960s, Americans experienced the unexpected side effects of high productivity of industry. Factories were giving out smoke while leaded petrol were used for vehicles, making air pollution increasingly severe. What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill (溢出) in California, which had killed about 3,500 sea birds, besides sea animals like dolphins and seals, causing great public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that time, Nelson found it a proper time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. And the sure-fire way was through public pressure. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental awareness took center stage. On 22nd April 1970, millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for a sustainable environment and thousands of students marched against the worsening environment. Different groups were now working together for a shared goal — environmental conservation and the effort became effective. The government took tougher measures and affected businesses were forced to follow standards. As environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a joint effort towards protecting the environment. For his role as founder of Earth Day, Senator Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1995), the highest honour in the USA, by then US President Clinton. We salute (致敬) the man, as the fight for cleaner environment continues. 1．What motivated Senator Nelson to start Earth Day? A．High productivity of industry. B．Increasingly severe air pollution. C．The 1969 oil spill in the USA． D．The students’ involvement in war. 2．What played an essential role in the birth of Earth Day? A．Students’ movement. B．Strict regulations. C．Government’s measures. D．Public pressure. 3．In which year did Earth Day start to draw the world’s attention? A．1970. B．1990. C．1992. D．1995. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The establishment of Earth Day. B．The effort of going green globally. C．Fighting for cleaner environment. D．Honoring the founder of Earth Day. （23-24高一下·黑龙江大庆·期末）In April 2022, Uday Bhatia, a student from Delhi, India, visited Bichpuri as a volunteer for a 2-day programme. During his stay, he found that the biggest problem the local children faced was frequent power cuts, which made it difficult for them to study. That left a deep impact on Uday. Uday came back to Delhi and took immediate action to address the problem. He soon understood that residents of villages like Bichpuri couldn’t afford electrical devices. He wanted to find and develop a solution to rural India’s power shortage. After 24 attempts, the 18-year-old built the solution — Uday Electric — a bulb that can offer a power backup of almost 10 hours in case of a power cut. Explaining how the bulb works, Uday states that the technology used is very simple. “When the bulb is connected to a power source, energy gets stored in the battery. When the power supply is cut off, the bulb uses the energy stored in the battery to give out light,” he explains. At first, he built a bulb with a four-hour backup. But he wanted to provide a backup of 8-10 hours. Thanks to his love of computer science, he developed a way to change the bulb’s brightness, increasing the backup time without increasing the size of the battery. The bulb now comes with settings to change the brightness. Uday sold each bulb at only Rs 250 (3 dollars) and has so far sold over 7, 000 units in many remote villages. But what Uday did went beyond business; he donated 950 units to houses in the poorest areas through a non-governmental organisation, bringing joy to those living without electricity. “When I saw the joy on people’s faces when their houses were lit up, I felt on top of the world. No feeling could come close to it,” says Uday. Uday won the Diana Award 2023, which honours “outstanding young people selflessly creating positive social change”. He wishes to bring bulb to as many houses as he can in the coming years. 1．What inspired Uday to invent Uday Electric? A．A study he did at school. B．A volunteering experience. C．His interest in computer science. D．The power cuts he faced every day. 2．What can we learn about Uday Electric? A．It is big and solar-powered. B．It can produce many colours. C．It can work without batteries. D．It is affordable and effective. 3．How does Uday sound in paragraph 5? A．Satisfied. B．Formal. C．Confident. D．Humorous. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．A solution to end India’s power shortage B．A young Indian changemaker giving back C．Teen’s bright idea lights rural India D．The inspiring journey of a teenage Indian’s success （23-24高一下·黑龙江大庆·期末）I live abroad, so social media is key in my communication with friends; yet many didn't realise I was sick for months. I was struggling to connect and communicate with anyone on any level. As I searched on the Internet trying to understand what was happening to me, websites gave me the answer—depression. I researched topics about treatment and read others' articles about their experiences. I began to feel understood, less alone and more informed. I set up a social media account choosing the name itreallyisok; I wanted to build on the sentence I had seen over and over again online, which had brought me so much comfort. It's OK to not be OK. It took me a long time to accept this but doing so really helped with my recovery. Writing and sharing really helped me process what I was going through; and receiving other people's support was hugely beneficial to me as well. The highlight of my social media experience, however, was coming into contact with someone on the other side of the world who supported me through a three-week crisis. During a particularly difficult stage of my recovery, my doctor suddenly went off sick. I was struggling to talk to anyone close to me at the time. Hesitantly, I got in touch with a psychologist who had regularly shared posts that I'd connected with. This stranger helped me so much and her response, when I asked her why, blew me away. Through her I learnt that we might not be able to change the world at one blow but we can change the world of one person at a time. As you can see, the Internet and social media have been hugely beneficial in helping me get through a difficult journey. Despite many of the warnings, I can highly recommend it as a way to keep in touch with those you can relate to. As with anything though, connect with care. 1．What was wrong with the author? A．She felt lonely living abroad. B．She suffered from depression. C．She had trouble making friends.

C．To get comfort from others online. D．To encourage herself to accept illness. 3．What did the author do when her doctor fell ill? A．She reached out to an expert online for help. B．She tried hard to connect with her friends C．She travelled to the other side of the world to relax. D．She shared posts regularly online to feel less lonely. 4．What did the author learn from the stranger? A．Despite the forecast, live like it's spring.

D．Each person must live their life as a model for others. （23-24高一下·宁夏银川·期末）The sun is about to set when we reach our destination, the home of a nomadic (游牧的) herder (牧民) family. My host, Batbayer, has a cheerful face, with deep wrinkles and a color from long hours working outdoors, giving him the look of a sailor from an Ernest Hemingway novel. We have pre-arranged our visit but travelers in Mongolia can drive up to pretty much any ger and feel welcomed to stay. You don’t knock on the door: when you approach a nomadic family, a customary greeting is to say a kindly “Hold your dog.”, even if you don’t see a dog. We feast at the family home on one of the country’s most distinct and tasty dishes: khorkhog, or mutton cooked using hot rocks. This comes served with onions, a variety of berries, and milk-besides more plates of meat, all from the family’s own livestock (家畜). Mongolia is home to one of the world’s few remaining truly nomadic cultures. About a fifth of the population are herders, and nomadism is complexly woven into the country’s spirit. But modern life is catching up with the people on the grassland at rapid speed. This is in large part what my book is about: an outsider’s exploration of a society undergoing modernization while trying to hold fast to its deeply rooted traditional values. Many of the livestock here, especially the more valuable breeds such as horses, camels and cattle, are implanted with microchips that can be monitored via satellite-based services. “I would like to use the Internet more because it’s fun and useful; but the animals like it here. This is a good place for them,” Batbayer says when I ask if better Internet connectivity might influence where to move his livestock next. “I would never choose Facebook over the well-being of the animals.” 1．Which aspect of the herders does the author focus on in paragraph 1? A．Living conditions. B．Pet preference. C．Reading habits. D．Friendliness. 2．What do we know about nomadic culture? A．Herders have no access to fruits and vegetables. B．It is the world’s dominant culture. C．The majority of Mongolians are herders. D．Herders’ life is being modernized. 3．What can we infer from Batbayer’s words in the last paragraph? A．He refuses to use social media. B．He will no longer employ microchips. C．He puts the welfare of livestock at first. D．He will introduce more valuable breeds. 4．What is the text? A．A book review. B．A folk tale. C．a field report. D．A travel journal. （23-24高一下·湖南长沙·期末）William was a student who was the only son of his wealthy parents and felt entitled to the luxuries he had in his life. On a class field trip, William met the forester, Victor, who had been living in a wooden house in the forest over ten years. When learning Victor’s life, William laughed at him with his friends. During the field trip, William and his classmates passed by an entrance to a cave. “This looks so cool!” William exclaimed. He wanted to go inside the cave, but his teacher stopped him. The next day, William reached the cave with his four friends, only to find they couldn’t take their schoolbags through the entrance. One by one, the teenagers entered the cave and were amazed to see how wide it was from the inside. Albert picked a large stone up and hit one of the walls with it. “This place is so cool!” he laughed quietly before the rocks from the wall came falling. “Watch out, Albert!” William said and pulled Albert towards himself. The teenagers screamed in fear when they saw the rocks fall. They couldn’t see anything because of the dust floating in the air. The friends were scared when they realized they were trapped in the cave. The teenagers started screaming for help, hoping someone would hear them. Fate sent Victor to the cave. The forester picked berries every other day from the trees near the cave. While he was walking back to his house, five bright-colored schoolbags caught his attention. Then he approached the cave and shouted, “Hey! Who’s in there?” “I’m William! I came here yesterday with my teacher! Help us, please! We are stuck!” “Okay, calm down, children! I’ll help you out!” Victor said. Victor quickly called 911 and informed them about the emergency. Thinking the paramedics would take at least twenty minutes to arrive, he decided to help the kids himself before it was too late. Victor quickly grabbed a shovel and a flashlight and rushed back to the cave’s entrance. Meanwhile, William and his friends tried to stay calm.

The 17-year-old boy went viral (走红) on Sina Weibo recently for his knowledge of biology, which led him to discover a new species of freshwater crabs of Sinolapotamon in 2022. Zhang’s father, who was born in a rural area, loved catching fish and crabs himself at an early age, so Zhang was always taken outdoors by his parents to explore as much as possible and observe little creatures quietly without being interrupted. Now a grade 12 student at Yulin High School, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Zhang has dozens of “living treasures” that he has collected from the outdoors, including insects, fish, shrimps and crabs. “This one is a species of Nanhaipotamon that I caught in a mountainous area,” said Zhang, pointing to a bright-colored crab moving its amusing eyes around. “You can see it just shed its shell.” There is also a row of empty bottles and jars in Zhang’s room to store his specimens (标本). “I can notice the small differences between two shrimps, and then I take them back to my room for further observation,” said Zhang. It is the microscope his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini biology lab than anything else. It’s a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying or observing the specimens of shrimps and crabs day and night. With the help of his microscope, Zhang concentrates on exploring the natural world. Sometimes he spends hours simply examining a piece of fish scale, the leg of a crab or the antenna of an insect. He often works so late that his parents have to force him to go to bed. “I’m often amazed by what I see while placing these tiny and fragile things under the microscope. No matter how unimportant an insect is, each life is so delicately and uniquely organized,” said Zhang. 1．What made Zhang popular on Sina Weibo? A．His meeting with shrimps and crabs. B．His videos of outdoor adventures. C．His discovery of a new type of crab. D．His collection of “living treasures”. 2．What inspired Zhang’s interest in exploring nature? A．His father’s early job.

They call this their “Qomolangma selfie”. To get it, more than a few people have risked everything and tragically, many have died during the climb, with their precious images still locked in their cameras. But as a professional climber who’s spent the past. two decades pursuing summits (顶峰) all over the world, I had refused the idea of an expedition (探险) to Mount Qomolangma. The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical (垂直) wall to the safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountains ever since. I would have never changed my mind, were it not for an old friend and his devotion to one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries — whether Mallory, a legendary British climber, might have reached the top in 1924 — nearly 30 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. The camera he likely carried had never been found. That’s how I found myself searching for a long-lost climber and, just maybe, history’s first highest point selfie. My expedition didn’t find the camera, but it did cause me to reconsider Mount Qomolangma. As I packed for Xizang, I expected that our state-of-the-art equipment and bottled oxygen would make the climb manageable, perhaps easy. Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route. 1．What are most climbers’ understanding of “Qomolangma selfie”? A．It comes at a big cost. B．It shows their respect for nature. C．It is inspired by passion. D．It brings a sense of achievement. 2．Why did the author mention his first climbing experience? A．To stress the difficulty in climbing the cliff. B．To explain his focus on mountain climbing. C．To express his thoughts on “Qomolangma selfie”. D．To meet his desire to climb Mount Qomolangma. 3．Which word can best describe the author’s expedition to Mount Qomolangma? A．Respectable. B．Challenging. C．Enjoyable. D．Charming. 4．What does the author seem to convey in the text? A．Not all expeditions are worth the effort. B．The meaning of climbing varies greatly. C．Perseverance lies behind “Qomolangma selfie”. D．Think twice before climbing Mount Qomolangma. （23-24高一下·河南·期末）Last summer on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, Tina Taniguchi worked close to the ground. Her coconut leaf hat covered most of her thick brown hair. Wet soil had gotten on her clothes and her smiling face. Taniguchi smiles a lot while working on the Hanapepe salt land on the west side of Kauai. It is a piece of land about half a hectare in size with pools of salty water. The salt becomes crystals (晶体)as the water dries. “The work is tiring, but for me it’s also play,” Taniguchi said with a laugh. Taniguchi’s family is one of 22 families who make salt, following a cultural and spiritual tradition. Hanapepe is one of the last remaining salt lands in Hawaii. Its salt can be traded or given away but must never be sold. Hawaiians use it in cooking, healing, and as protection. Over the past 10 years, there have been several threats to this field. They encompass development, pollution from a neighboring airfield, damage to the sand from vehicle traffic and waste left by visitors to the nearby beach. In addition, rising sea levels and weather might stop the practice. The process of turning sea water into salt can be slow. The season begins once the rain stops and water starts to disappear from the salt beds. Ocean water travels underground and enters the wells. Each family has their own well. As water enters the well, so do tiny, red brine shrimp. These small ocean animals give Hanapepe salt its unusual, sweet taste. The families first clean the salt beds and line them with black clay (陶土). Then they move water from the wells into the beds. There, salt crystals form. The top level, or layer, is the whitest. It is used for table salt. The middle layer is pinkish and is used in cooking, while the bottom layer, which is a deep red color, is used in blessings. 1．What do we know about Taniguchi? A．She gives salt to others as a gift. B．She works hard but with pleasure. C．She has found a new way to make salt. D．She fears old traditions will disappear. 2．What are Hawaiians not allowed to do with their salt? A．Trade goods with it. B．Use it as a treatment. C．Make money from it. D．Cook vegetables with it. 3．What does the underlined word “encompass” mean in paragraph 4? A．Prevent. B．Include. C．Improve. D．Discover. 4．What does a small sea creature bring to the traditional salt? A．The special taste of the salt. B．A thicker middle layer of salt. C．More water in the wells. D．A quicker process of making salt. （23-24高一下·西藏拉萨·期末）Jason and his father were going to the grocery store by car to pick up some apples. It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling (隆隆的) sound heard across the ground. Jason’s father immediately realized that a tornado (龙卷风) was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn’t see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn’t getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air. As he made his way towards the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch (灌溉渠). In a panic, he scrambled  (爬) to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before. After a while, the winds died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage. He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug. “Jason! How are you? I’ve been worried sick about you!” said his father. “I couldn’t find you anywhere!” Jason breathed a sigh of a relief (松了一口气) and sat down.

Three years earlier, his wife, Janet, had died of cancer. For Bishop who had loved Janet so deeply and had spent a lifetime talking to such a lovely woman, pain overwhelmed him and the silence seemed unbearable. “Besides, since it was the start of the Covid lockdowns, it was very isolating,” he says. Home alone, without the person he had always turned to for support, Bishop went for daily walks in the nearby Yorkshire Dales and tried to write about his experiences. “It distanced me from the pain,” he says. “It put it elsewhere for a while, on to the page, since no one can live with that amount of anguish forever.” A decade earlier. Bishop had given up skiing out of fear of taking a bad fall and doing damage to his body, but he found himself longing for the experience of being on the mountainside again. “I wanted to find a way of getting back to the outdoors, to experience the soothing wind and the majestic views,” he says. “I also needed it socially.” A mountaineering friend offered Bishop a possible solution. He suggested that Bishop try snowshoeing instead of skiing. He called up the leaders of a forthcoming week-long expedition being organized by the UK branch pf the Austrian Alpine Club. They assured him that if he could walk, he could snowshoe. By March 2023, Bishop was in the Tirol mountains in the Alps with a dozen strangers from across Europe and a trained leader. “It was a really strenuous activity, walking up to eight hours a day but I had the most wonderful time,” he says. “Plus, I was with a group of fantastic people, all open-minded, generous and keen to share this experience together.” Back at home, Bishop eagerly booked another week-long expedition for the next winter. “The snowshoeing trips have encouraged me to get healthier and practice tai chi every morning,” he says. “I’m lucky that I can maintain fitness in my older years and it’s a tremendous ego boost.” 1．What does the underlined word “anguish” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Pity. B．Anger. C．Pain. D．Anxiety. 2．What did Bishop expect to get by being on the mountainside again? A．Comfort and company. B．Amusement and happiness. C．Support and encouragement. D．Understanding and relaxation. 3．How did Bishop’s friend help Bishop? A．By practicing tai chi with him every morning. B．By turning to a mountaineering club for help. C．By accompanying him across a mountainside. D．By encouraging him to be social in the community. 4．What can be a suitable title for the passage?
