When the water gets cooler than average, it’s a La Niña. Either phase can have an effect on weather around the globe. By June, forecasters expect those ocean temperatures to hover close to normal, marking a so-called neutral phase, before La Niña builds in early summer, according to NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. But the strength of El Niño or La Niña’s influence on US weather isn’t uniform and varies greatly based on the strength of the phenomena and the season itself. The influence of El Niño or La Niña on US weather isn’t as clear-cut in the summer as it is in the winter, especially during a transition between the two phases, said Michelle L’Heureux, a climate scientist with the Climate Prediction Center. Temperature differences between the tropics and North America are more extreme in the winter, L’Heureux explained. This allows the jet stream to become quite strong and influential, reliably sending storms into certain parts of the US. In the summer, the difference in temperature between the two regions isn’t as significant and the obvious influence on US weather wanes. But we can look back at what happened during similar summers to get a glimpse of what could come this summer. In short: It’s not cool. The summer of 2016 was one of the hottest on record for the Lower 48. La Niña conditions were in place by midsummer and followed a very strong El Niño winter. Summer 2020 followed a similar script: La Niña conditions formed midsummer after a weak El Niño winter but still produced one of the hottest summers on record and the most active hurricane season on record. Then there’s the fact that these climate phenomena are playing out in a warming world, raising the ceiling on the extreme heat potential. “This obviously isn’t our grandmother’s transition out of El Niño – we’re in a much warmer world so the impacts will be different,” L’Heureux, said. “We’re seeing the consequences of climate change.” Current summer temperature outlooks for the US are certainly bringing the heat. Above-average temperatures are forecast over nearly every square mile of the Lower 48. Only portions of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Montana have an equal chance of encountering near normal, above- or below-normal temperatures. A huge portion of the West is likely to have warmer conditions than normal. This forecast tracks with decades of climate trends, according to L’Heureux. Summers have warmed more in the West than in any other region of the US since the early 1990s, according to data from NOAA. Phoenix is a prime example. The city’s average July temperature last year was an unheard-of 102.7 degrees, making it the hottest month on record for any US city. It was also the deadliest year on record for heat in Maricopa County, where Phoenix is located. Forecasts also show a worrying precipitation trend for parts of the West. Large sections of the West and the central US are likely to be drier than normal. This dryness, combined with above-normal heat, which only amplifies the dryness, could be a recipe for new or worsening drought. Wetter than normal conditions are in the forecast from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast. Stormy weather could be a consistent companion for much of the East – but whether it comes from typical rain and thunderstorms or tropical activity won’t be known for months. 【译文欣赏】 一个没有厄尔尼诺现象的夏天即将到来 厄尔尼诺现象是一种自然气候模式，其特征是赤道太平洋的海洋温度高于平均水平。当水比平均温度低时，就是拉尼娜现象。这两个阶段都可能对全球天气产生影响。 根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局气候预测中心的数据，到6月，预报员预计这些海洋温度将徘徊在接近正常水平，标志着在初夏拉尼娜形成之前的所谓中性阶段。 但厄尔尼诺或拉尼娜对美国天气的影响强度并不均匀，并且根据现象的强度和季节本身而变化很大。 气候预测中心的气候科学家Michelle L'Heureux表示，厄尔尼诺或拉尼娜对美国天气的影响在夏季并不像冬季那样明显，尤其是在两个阶段之间的过渡期间。 L'Heureux解释说，热带和北美之间的温差在冬季更为极端。这使得急流变得非常强大和有影响力，可靠地将风暴送入美国的某些地区。 在夏季，两个地区之间的温差并不显著，对美国天气的影响明显减弱。 但我们可以回顾一下类似夏天发生的事情，看看今年夏天会发生什么。 简而言之：这并不酷。 2016年夏天是48州以下有记录以来最热的夏天之一。盛夏时，拉尼娜现象已经出现，随后是一个非常强烈的厄尔尼诺冬季。 2020年夏季遵循了类似的脚本：拉尼娜现象在经历了一个弱厄尔尼诺冬季后于仲夏形成，但仍然产生了有记录以来最热的夏季之一和有记录以来最强的飓风季节。 还有一个事实是，这些气候现象正在变暖的世界中发挥作用，提高了极端热潜力的上限。 L'Heureux说：“这显然不是我们祖母从厄尔尼诺现象中过渡出来的——我们生活在一个更温暖的世界里，所以影响会有所不同。”“我们看到了气候变化的后果。” 美国目前的夏季气温前景肯定会带来热量。 预计下48英里几乎每平方英里的温度都高于平均水平。只有达科他州、明尼苏达州和蒙大拿州的部分地区有同等的机会遇到接近正常、高于或低于正常的温度。 西部很大一部分地区的气温可能会比正常情况更高。根据L'Heureux的说法，这一预测与几十年的气候趋势相吻合。 根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局的数据，自20世纪90年代初以来，西方的夏季气温比美国其他任何地区都要高。凤凰城就是一个很好的例子。去年7月，该市的平均气温达到了前所未有的102.7度，成为美国有记录以来最热的月份。这也是凤凰城所在的马里科帕县有史以来最致命的高温年份。 预报还显示，西部部分地区的降水趋势令人担忧。 美国西部和中部的大部分地区可能比正常情况更干燥。这种干燥，再加上高于正常水平的热量，只会加剧干燥，可能会导致新的或恶化的干旱。 从墨西哥湾沿岸到东北部的天气预报比正常情况更潮湿。风暴天气可能是东部大部分地区的持续伴侣，但它是来自典型的降雨和雷暴还是热带活动，几个月后才会知道。 【词汇积累】 1. phenomenon [fəˈnɒmɪnən] n. 现象 9. consequence [ˈkɒnsɪkwəns] n. 后果 2. equatorial [ˌekwəˈtɔːriəl] adj. 赤道的 10. precipitation [prɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃn] n. 降水 3. forecast [ˈfɔːkɑːst] v./n. 预测 11. drought [draʊt] n. 干旱 4. transition [trænˈzɪʃn] n. 过渡 12. thunderstorm [ˈθʌndəstɔːm] n. 雷暴 5. influence [ˈɪnfluəns] n./v. 影响 13. tropical [ˈtrɒpɪkl] adj. 热带的 6. significant [sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt] adj. 显著的 14. trend [trend] n. 趋势 7. extreme [ɪkˈstriːm] adj. 极端的 15. amplify [ˈæmplɪfaɪ] v. 放大；增强 8. potential [pəˈtenʃl] n. 潜力；可能性 【知识拓展】 厄尔尼诺与拉尼娜基础概念 厄尔尼诺（El Niño）指赤道太平洋海域水温异常升高的现象，拉尼娜（La Niña）则相反。两者合称 ENSO（厄尔尼诺-南方涛动），是地球最重要的年际气候变异模式。 典型影响： 厄尔尼诺年：美国南部多雨，北部温暖 拉尼娜年：美国西南干旱，西北多雨 【词汇延伸】 climate pattern 气候模式 (指厄尔尼诺/拉尼娜等规律性气候现象) neutral phase 中性期 (指太平洋水温处于正常值的过渡阶段) temperature difference 温差 (特指热带与北美地区的气温差异) jet stream 急流 (高速气流，影响风暴路径的关键气象要素) extreme heat potential 极端高温潜力 (气候变暖背景下可能出现的异常高温) temperature outlook 气温预测 (对未来气温趋势的专业预判) precipitation trend 降水趋势 (降雨/降雪量的长期变化方向) drought condition 干旱状况 (由高温和少雨共同导致的缺水状态) tropical activity 热带气旋活动 (包括飓风等热带天气系统的活跃程度) warming world 变暖中的世界 (指当前全球气候变暖的大背景) 高考真题链接 (2025·全国I卷·阅读理解C篇) While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead. Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives. Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well. Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world. We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right: it’s time to think differently about that street outside your front door. 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently. C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules. 9. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do? A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity. C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible. 10. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s? A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective. C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why the Rush? B. What’s Next? C. Where to Stay? D. Who to Blame? 背景知识 1.行人友好型城市（Pedestrian-friendly cities）：许多现代城市以汽车为中心，导致行人（尤其是儿童）出行受限。 2.Jane Jacobs（简·雅各布斯）：著名城市规划学者，曾反对纽约修建高速公路，倡导“以人为本”的城市设计。 3.汽车主导的城市规划（Car-centric urban planning）：20世纪中后期，西方城市大规模改造以适应汽车需求，牺牲了步行空间。 4.澳大利亚的高汽车保有率（High car ownership in Australia）：文章提到澳大利亚人均汽车拥有率位居世界前列。 1.

Experts say if such technique can be scaled-up (大规模) to the level of industrialization, it may revolutionize how this key nutrient and industrial ingredient is made, since it does not require farming and processing a large quantity of starchy crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, thus saving more water, fertilizer, and arable land. It may also be used to recycle carbon dioxide into a consumable product. This will help reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change, especially if the electricity used is from renewable sources like solar and wind. In space exploration it may provide a sustainable food source for astronauts as they travel long distances in space and try to colonize other planets where growing food is impossible. Future space travelers may simply turn the carbon dioxide they breathe out into food they eat. Ma Yanhe, the director of the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, says starch and other complex carbohydrates make up 60 to 80 percent of the human diet. “Our breakthrough demonstrates that creating a complex compound like starch is achievable in a lab, and there are many industries that can benefit from this technology,” he says. Plants create carbohydrates like starch through photosynthesis (光合作用), which is an extremely complex process, says Ma, adding that it will take a plant about 60 steps to turn carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into starch. Cai Tao, one of the first authors of the study, says for six years, his team has been focusing on a single project: how to make starch, but do it at a higher speed. He says their method involves first converting carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas into methanol (甲醇). Scientists then piece these single-carbon molecules like a puzzle into bigger and more complex molecules via enzymatic (酶的) processes. With the help of supercomputing, Chinese scientists have simplified the natural starch making process from about 60 into 11 steps and produced starch. Thellab-made starch is chemically identical to starch in nature. 1. Which is NOT a potential benefit if the technique can be used on an industrial level? A. It will have a positive influence on climate change. B. It will help produce renewable resources such as solar and wind. C. It will offer a practical food solution for astronauts. D. It will help save several sources from water to farming land. 2. Which might be the biggest difficulty in creating the lab-made starch? A. Making starch faster. B. Collecting enough raw materials. C. Repeating the photosynthesis of plants. D. Involving methanol in the making process. 3. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Starch, an important complex carbohydrate. B. The great benefits of starch. C. Chinese scientists successfully turn carbon dioxide into starch. D. Chinese scientists make contributions to climate change. 4. In which part of a newspaper could you most probably read the text? A. Science. B. Lifestyle. C. Environment. D. Health. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·浙江G5联盟·期中）Born in Sudan in 1990, Hamza Yassin is a wildlife cameraman and TV presenter. He was eight when they landed in the UK. Besides the changes in climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets: “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realised what a special upbringing I had had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of wildlife, especially in the winter. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.” Though his doctor parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television; in particular, the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration, too. While he thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. He never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. He was a teenager who wasn’t white. It was still a long road to establishing his career, though. It was not until after he became an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson that he realized he needed to create his own journey. When he was21, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there for good. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage. The truth was that he was living in his car, just trying to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal but lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs — cutting grass, and moving furniture to earn enough money to survive. During that time, he was cutting his teeth as a wildlife cameraman — he was determined that he wouldn’t go back to Northampton with his tail between his legs and say to his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, everything paid off. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession. Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background. 1. What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Strengthened. B. Assessed. C. Challenged. D. Reduced. 2. Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter at the beginning? A. He took no passion for being a presenter. B. He feared to stand in front of the camera. C. He lacked confidence because of his color. D. He obtained little support from his parents. 3. Why does the author mention Hamza’s trip to the Highlands? A. It led to a life-long friendship. B. It enriched his life experience. C. It refined his photography skills. D. It started his own career journey. 4. What can we learn from Hamza’s experience? A. Great minds think alike. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·昆明·期中）The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games kicked off with a 24-second countdown video of the 24 solar terms. The ceremony coincided with Lichun (Beginning of Spring), the first of the 24 solar terms of the year. Audiences around the world admired on the screen the changes in natural rhythm at different solar terms. Described in some books and documentaries, the ancient Chinese understood the importance of time in developing agriculture. They arranged farming activities based on the 24 solar terms. According to a survey by a British agronomist in the 19th century, farmers in China used the land well. With unchanged energy and labor, each acre of land could support six times more people than a similar plot in Britain at the time, demonstrating Chinese farmers’ deep understanding of time. The solar terms not only affect agriculture but shape Chinese regimen. The solar terms guide people to live and work out according to the laws of nature and to seek harmony with it. Lots of traditions and customs regarding the solar terms are sill popular, such as weighing oneself on Lixia (Beginning of Summer), eating newly harvested wheat on Xiaoman (Grain Buds) and gaining weight on Liqiu (Beginning of Autumn). Production and life follow the rhythm of time, as do individuals and society. The 24 solar terms not only mark changes of time, but also serve as cultural symbols reminding people to maintain certain principles. As the solar term Lichun arrives, it is the time for planning activities of plants and animals. For Chinese, it also means humans should develop self-discipline and avoid pursuing their own interests at the expense of other lives on the planet. As the name of the solar term Qingming (Pure Brightness) suggests, people should lead a life of honesty and fairness. 1. Why does the writer mention Beijing Olympic Winter Games? A. To praise the organizing committee. B. To present the solar terms to readers. C. To appeal to readers to admire the video. D. To introduce the changes in natural world. 2. What benefit does the solar terms bring to agriculture? A. Advanced sowing techniques. B. Increased grain harvests. C. Deepened understanding of labor. D. Improved energy use scheme. 3. What does the underlined word “regimen” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Rules about employing leisure time. B. Rules about controlling body weight. C. Rules about consuming nutritional food. D. Rules about maintaining physical health. 4. What can be inferred about the solar terms from the last paragraph? A. They reflect Chinese philosophy of life. B. They force people to lead an honest life. C. They enjoy increasing popularity in China. D. They escape people’s mind in modem times.

When the water gets cooler than average, it’s a La Niña. Either phase can have an effect on weather around the globe. By June, forecasters expect those ocean temperatures to hover close to normal, marking a so-called neutral phase, before La Niña builds in early summer, according to NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. But the strength of El Niño or La Niña’s influence on US weather isn’t uniform and varies greatly based on the strength of the phenomena and the season itself. The influence of El Niño or La Niña on US weather isn’t as clear-cut in the summer as it is in the winter, especially during a transition between the two phases, said Michelle L’Heureux, a climate scientist with the Climate Prediction Center. Temperature differences between the tropics and North America are more extreme in the winter, L’Heureux explained. This allows the jet stream to become quite strong and influential, reliably sending storms into certain parts of the US. In the summer, the difference in temperature between the two regions isn’t as significant and the obvious influence on US weather wanes. But we can look back at what happened during similar summers to get a glimpse of what could come this summer. In short: It’s not cool. The summer of 2016 was one of the hottest on record for the Lower 48. La Niña conditions were in place by midsummer and followed a very strong El Niño winter. Summer 2020 followed a similar script: La Niña conditions formed midsummer after a weak El Niño winter but still produced one of the hottest summers on record and the most active hurricane season on record. Then there’s the fact that these climate phenomena are playing out in a warming world, raising the ceiling on the extreme heat potential. “This obviously isn’t our grandmother’s transition out of El Niño – we’re in a much warmer world so the impacts will be different,” L’Heureux, said. “We’re seeing the consequences of climate change.” Current summer temperature outlooks for the US are certainly bringing the heat. Above-average temperatures are forecast over nearly every square mile of the Lower 48. Only portions of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Montana have an equal chance of encountering near normal, above- or below-normal temperatures. A huge portion of the West is likely to have warmer conditions than normal. This forecast tracks with decades of climate trends, according to L’Heureux. Summers have warmed more in the West than in any other region of the US since the early 1990s, according to data from NOAA. Phoenix is a prime example. The city’s average July temperature last year was an unheard-of 102.7 degrees, making it the hottest month on record for any US city. It was also the deadliest year on record for heat in Maricopa County, where Phoenix is located. Forecasts also show a worrying precipitation trend for parts of the West. Large sections of the West and the central US are likely to be drier than normal. This dryness, combined with above-normal heat, which only amplifies the dryness, could be a recipe for new or worsening drought. Wetter than normal conditions are in the forecast from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast. Stormy weather could be a consistent companion for much of the East – but whether it comes from typical rain and thunderstorms or tropical activity won’t be known for months. 【译文欣赏】 一个没有厄尔尼诺现象的夏天即将到来 厄尔尼诺现象是一种自然气候模式，其特征是赤道太平洋的海洋温度高于平均水平。当水比平均温度低时，就是拉尼娜现象。这两个阶段都可能对全球天气产生影响。 根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局气候预测中心的数据，到6月，预报员预计这些海洋温度将徘徊在接近正常水平，标志着在初夏拉尼娜形成之前的所谓中性阶段。 但厄尔尼诺或拉尼娜对美国天气的影响强度并不均匀，并且根据现象的强度和季节本身而变化很大。 气候预测中心的气候科学家Michelle L'Heureux表示，厄尔尼诺或拉尼娜对美国天气的影响在夏季并不像冬季那样明显，尤其是在两个阶段之间的过渡期间。 L'Heureux解释说，热带和北美之间的温差在冬季更为极端。这使得急流变得非常强大和有影响力，可靠地将风暴送入美国的某些地区。 在夏季，两个地区之间的温差并不显著，对美国天气的影响明显减弱。 但我们可以回顾一下类似夏天发生的事情，看看今年夏天会发生什么。 简而言之：这并不酷。 2016年夏天是48州以下有记录以来最热的夏天之一。盛夏时，拉尼娜现象已经出现，随后是一个非常强烈的厄尔尼诺冬季。 2020年夏季遵循了类似的脚本：拉尼娜现象在经历了一个弱厄尔尼诺冬季后于仲夏形成，但仍然产生了有记录以来最热的夏季之一和有记录以来最强的飓风季节。 还有一个事实是，这些气候现象正在变暖的世界中发挥作用，提高了极端热潜力的上限。 L'Heureux说：“这显然不是我们祖母从厄尔尼诺现象中过渡出来的——我们生活在一个更温暖的世界里，所以影响会有所不同。”“我们看到了气候变化的后果。” 美国目前的夏季气温前景肯定会带来热量。 预计下48英里几乎每平方英里的温度都高于平均水平。只有达科他州、明尼苏达州和蒙大拿州的部分地区有同等的机会遇到接近正常、高于或低于正常的温度。 西部很大一部分地区的气温可能会比正常情况更高。根据L'Heureux的说法，这一预测与几十年的气候趋势相吻合。 根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局的数据，自20世纪90年代初以来，西方的夏季气温比美国其他任何地区都要高。凤凰城就是一个很好的例子。去年7月，该市的平均气温达到了前所未有的102.7度，成为美国有记录以来最热的月份。这也是凤凰城所在的马里科帕县有史以来最致命的高温年份。 预报还显示，西部部分地区的降水趋势令人担忧。 美国西部和中部的大部分地区可能比正常情况更干燥。这种干燥，再加上高于正常水平的热量，只会加剧干燥，可能会导致新的或恶化的干旱。 从墨西哥湾沿岸到东北部的天气预报比正常情况更潮湿。风暴天气可能是东部大部分地区的持续伴侣，但它是来自典型的降雨和雷暴还是热带活动，几个月后才会知道。 【词汇积累】 1. phenomenon [fəˈnɒmɪnən] n. 现象 9. consequence [ˈkɒnsɪkwəns] n. 后果 2. equatorial [ˌekwəˈtɔːriəl] adj. 赤道的 10. precipitation [prɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃn] n. 降水 3. forecast [ˈfɔːkɑːst] v./n. 预测 11. drought [draʊt] n. 干旱 4. transition [trænˈzɪʃn] n. 过渡 12. thunderstorm [ˈθʌndəstɔːm] n. 雷暴 5. influence [ˈɪnfluəns] n./v. 影响 13. tropical [ˈtrɒpɪkl] adj. 热带的 6. significant [sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt] adj. 显著的 14. trend [trend] n. 趋势 7. extreme [ɪkˈstriːm] adj. 极端的 15. amplify [ˈæmplɪfaɪ] v. 放大；增强 8. potential [pəˈtenʃl] n. 潜力；可能性 【知识拓展】 厄尔尼诺与拉尼娜基础概念 厄尔尼诺（El Niño）指赤道太平洋海域水温异常升高的现象，拉尼娜（La Niña）则相反。两者合称 ENSO（厄尔尼诺-南方涛动），是地球最重要的年际气候变异模式。 典型影响： 厄尔尼诺年：美国南部多雨，北部温暖 拉尼娜年：美国西南干旱，西北多雨 【词汇延伸】 climate pattern 气候模式 (指厄尔尼诺/拉尼娜等规律性气候现象) neutral phase 中性期 (指太平洋水温处于正常值的过渡阶段) temperature difference 温差 (特指热带与北美地区的气温差异) jet stream 急流 (高速气流，影响风暴路径的关键气象要素) extreme heat potential 极端高温潜力 (气候变暖背景下可能出现的异常高温) temperature outlook 气温预测 (对未来气温趋势的专业预判) precipitation trend 降水趋势 (降雨/降雪量的长期变化方向) drought condition 干旱状况 (由高温和少雨共同导致的缺水状态) tropical activity 热带气旋活动 (包括飓风等热带天气系统的活跃程度) warming world 变暖中的世界 (指当前全球气候变暖的大背景) 高考真题链接 (2025·全国I卷·阅读理解C篇) While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead. Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives. Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well. Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world. We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right: it’s time to think differently about that street outside your front door. 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently. C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules. 9. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do? A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity. C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible. 10. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s? A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective. C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why the Rush? B. What’s Next? C. Where to Stay? D. Who to Blame? 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了西方城市过度围绕汽车设计导致行人流动性下降，尤其是儿童步行减少的现象，并通过历史案例和现状分析呼吁反思街道功能，重视城市宜居性。 8.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead. (虽然近年来我们的街道可能已经改善了安全性，但交通研究也表明行人的流动性下降，尤其是年轻儿童。许多家长说，路上的交通太拥挤，他们的孩子无法安全步行上学，所以他们把孩子塞进车里)”可知，作者指出的现象是人们步行减少、开车增多。故选C。 9.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” (最著名的是，一位加拿大记者在20世纪50年代初举家迁往曼哈顿，她领导了一场阻止当地公园被毁的运动。在描述她对用高速公路取代公园的提议感到震惊时，Jane Jacobs呼吁她的市长捍卫“纽约作为适宜居住的地方，而不仅是匆匆穿过的通道”)”可推知，加拿大记者和其他运动参与者旨在保持城市宜居性。故选A。 10.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. (尽管这些运动很普遍，但现实是大多数西方城市完全围绕汽车需求重新设计。道路上的汽车数量一直在迅速增加)”可推知，20世纪60年代末和70年代澳大利亚的竞选活动未能阻止汽车发展，基本上没有效果。故选B。 11.主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据文章最后一段“We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities? (我们在帮助我们快速通过的道路上投入了大量资金，但我们没有考虑到真正的成本。我们真的认识到当孩子们不能在我们的社区安全地移动时，我们作为一个社会将会付出什么代价吗)”可推知，本文批判城市过度追求交通效率、忽视行人需求的现象，A项“Why the Rush? (为何匆匆？)”质问“rush through (匆匆通行)”的规划理念，契合主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 背景知识 1.行人友好型城市（Pedestrian-friendly cities）：许多现代城市以汽车为中心，导致行人（尤其是儿童）出行受限。 2.Jane Jacobs（简·雅各布斯）：著名城市规划学者，曾反对纽约修建高速公路，倡导“以人为本”的城市设计。 3.汽车主导的城市规划（Car-centric urban planning）：20世纪中后期，西方城市大规模改造以适应汽车需求，牺牲了步行空间。 4.澳大利亚的高汽车保有率（High car ownership in Australia）：文章提到澳大利亚人均汽车拥有率位居世界前列。 1.

Experts say if such technique can be scaled-up (大规模) to the level of industrialization, it may revolutionize how this key nutrient and industrial ingredient is made, since it does not require farming and processing a large quantity of starchy crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, thus saving more water, fertilizer, and arable land. It may also be used to recycle carbon dioxide into a consumable product. This will help reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change, especially if the electricity used is from renewable sources like solar and wind. In space exploration it may provide a sustainable food source for astronauts as they travel long distances in space and try to colonize other planets where growing food is impossible. Future space travelers may simply turn the carbon dioxide they breathe out into food they eat. Ma Yanhe, the director of the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, says starch and other complex carbohydrates make up 60 to 80 percent of the human diet. “Our breakthrough demonstrates that creating a complex compound like starch is achievable in a lab, and there are many industries that can benefit from this technology,” he says. Plants create carbohydrates like starch through photosynthesis (光合作用), which is an extremely complex process, says Ma, adding that it will take a plant about 60 steps to turn carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into starch. Cai Tao, one of the first authors of the study, says for six years, his team has been focusing on a single project: how to make starch, but do it at a higher speed. He says their method involves first converting carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas into methanol (甲醇). Scientists then piece these single-carbon molecules like a puzzle into bigger and more complex molecules via enzymatic (酶的) processes. With the help of supercomputing, Chinese scientists have simplified the natural starch making process from about 60 into 11 steps and produced starch. Thellab-made starch is chemically identical to starch in nature. 1. Which is NOT a potential benefit if the technique can be used on an industrial level? A. It will have a positive influence on climate change. B. It will help produce renewable resources such as solar and wind. C. It will offer a practical food solution for astronauts. D. It will help save several sources from water to farming land. 2. Which might be the biggest difficulty in creating the lab-made starch? A. Making starch faster. B. Collecting enough raw materials. C. Repeating the photosynthesis of plants. D. Involving methanol in the making process. 3. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Starch, an important complex carbohydrate. B. The great benefits of starch. C. Chinese scientists successfully turn carbon dioxide into starch. D. Chinese scientists make contributions to climate change. 4. In which part of a newspaper could you most probably read the text? A. Science. B. Lifestyle. C. Environment. D. Health. 【答案】1. B 2 .A 3. C 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国科学家利用二氧化碳、氢气和电力制造淀粉的技术突破及其对环境、食品生产和太空探索的潜在影响。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Experts say if such technique can be scaled-up (大规模) to the level of industrialization, it may revolutionize how this key nutrient and industrial ingredient is made, since it does not require farming and processing a large quantity of starchy crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, thus saving more water, fertilizer, and arable land.(专家表示，如果这种技术能够大规模推广到工业化水平，它可能会彻底改变这种关键营养素和工业原料的生产方式，因为这不需要种植和加工大量的淀粉类作物，如红薯和玉米，从而节省更多的水资源、肥料和耕地)”可知，该技术在工业化水平上的潜在好处包括节约水资源、肥料和耕地，D选项正确；根据第三段中“This will help reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change, especially if the electricity used is from renewable sources like solar and wind.(这将有助于减少碳排放并对抗气候变化，特别是当所使用的电力来自太阳能和风能等可再生能源时)”可知，该技术对气候变化有积极影响，A选项正确；根据第四段中“In space exploration it may provide a sustainable food source for astronauts as they travel long distances in space and try to colonize other planets where growing food is impossible.(在太空探索中，它可能为宇航员提供一种可持续的食物来源，使他们在进行长途太空旅行及尝试殖民其他无法种植食物的星球时得到补给)”可知，该技术可以为宇航员提供实际的食物解决方案，C选项正确。而B选项“它将有助于生产可再生能源，如太阳能和风能”并不是该技术工业化水平的潜在好处，原文中第三段中提到“This will help reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change, especially if the electricity used is from renewable sources like solar and wind.(这将有助于减少碳排放并对抗气候变化，特别是当所使用的电力来自太阳能和风能等可再生能源时)”，是说如果使用的电力来自可再生能源，将有助于减少碳排放和对抗气候变化，而不是说该技术本身会生产可再生能源。因此，B选项不是该技术可能带来的潜在好处。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中“Cai Tao, one of the first authors of the study, says for six years, his team has been focusing on a single project: how to make starch, but do it at a higher speed.(该研究的第一作者之一蔡涛说，六年来，他的团队一直专注于一个项目：如何制造淀粉，但速度更快)”和最后一段中“With the help of supercomputing, Chinese scientists have simplified the natural starch making process from about 60 into 11 steps and produced starch.(在超级计算的帮助下，中国科学家将天然淀粉的制造过程从大约60个步骤简化为11个步骤，并生产出淀粉)”可推知，团队六年专注于提高制造淀粉的速度，将自然生产淀粉的60步简化为人工合成淀粉的11步，可推知制造实验室合成淀粉最大的困难可能是更快制造淀粉。故选A。 3. 主旨大意题。文章开篇便指出“Chinese scientists have created starch (淀粉), a type of complex carbohydrate found in plants, using carbon dioxide, hydrogen and electricity.(中国科学家利用二氧化碳、氢气和电合成了淀粉，这是一种在植物中发现的复杂碳水化合物)”，后文围绕该技术的工业化可能带来的变革、对环境的益处、在太空探索中的作用以及制造过程等方面展开论述，即文章主要描述了中国科学家成功地将二氧化碳转化为淀粉这一成就及其潜在的应用前景。故C选项“Chinese scientists successfully turn carbon dioxide into starch.(中国科学家成功地将二氧化碳转化为淀粉)”准确地概括了文章的核心内容，是文章的最佳标题。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了中国科学家在制造淀粉方面的科学技术，包括制造淀粉所使用的原料、制造过程、技术的优势以及可能的应用领域等，这些内容都属于科学范畴。因此，这篇文章可能出现在报纸的“科学”部分。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·浙江G5联盟·期中）Born in Sudan in 1990, Hamza Yassin is a wildlife cameraman and TV presenter. He was eight when they landed in the UK. Besides the changes in climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets: “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realised what a special upbringing I had had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of wildlife, especially in the winter. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.” Though his doctor parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television; in particular, the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration, too. While he thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. He never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. He was a teenager who wasn’t white. It was still a long road to establishing his career, though. It was not until after he became an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson that he realized he needed to create his own journey. When he was21, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there for good. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage. The truth was that he was living in his car, just trying to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal but lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs — cutting grass, and moving furniture to earn enough money to survive. During that time, he was cutting his teeth as a wildlife cameraman — he was determined that he wouldn’t go back to Northampton with his tail between his legs and say to his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, everything paid off. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession. Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background. 1. What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Strengthened. B. Assessed. C. Challenged. D. Reduced. 2. Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter at the beginning? A. He took no passion for being a presenter. B. He feared to stand in front of the camera. C. He lacked confidence because of his color. D. He obtained little support from his parents. 3. Why does the author mention Hamza’s trip to the Highlands? A. It led to a life-long friendship. B. It enriched his life experience. C. It refined his photography skills. D. It started his own career journey. 4. What can we learn from Hamza’s experience? A. Great minds think alike. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了野生动物摄影师Hamza Yassin的成长故事。 1.词句猜测题。根据划线词句后文“But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of wildlife, especially in the winter. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.(但真正让我对野生动物cemented热爱的是英国。乍一看，这里似乎没有很多野生动物，尤其是在冬天。但如果你剥开表层，就会发现有很多。)”可知，正是在英国，作者对野生动物增强了热爱，培养了这一兴趣。从而推知划线部分意思是“加强”。故选A项。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段中“He never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. He was a teenager who wasn’t white.(他从未在镜头前见过像他这样的人。他不是一个白人青少年。)”可知，Hamza一开始不认为自己可以成为一名电视节目主持人是因为他因为肤色而缺乏自信。故选C项。 3.推理判断题。根据第四段中“ It was not until after he became an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson that he realized he needed to create his own journey. When he was21, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. (直到他成为不可思议的野生动物摄影师Jesse Wilkinson的助手后，他才意识到他需要创造自己的旅程。21岁时，他和朋友去苏格兰高地旅行。)”以及文中描述他的高地经历可以推知，作者提到高地之旅是为了说明他是从这次旅行开始自己的职业旅程的。故选D项。 4. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“During that time, he was cutting his teeth as a wildlife cameraman — he was determined that he wouldn’t go back to Northampton with his tail between his legs and say to his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” (在那段时间里，他作为一名野生动物摄影师初试身手——他下定决心，他不会夹着尾巴回到Northampton，对他的父母说：“我被打败了。”)”和最后一段“Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background.(最终，Hamza成为了一名著名的野生动物摄影师，激励着其他人去追求自己的梦想，而不管他们的背景如何。)”可知，我们能从Hamza的经历中明白：有志者事竟成。故选D项。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·昆明·期中）The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games kicked off with a 24-second countdown video of the 24 solar terms. The ceremony coincided with Lichun (Beginning of Spring), the first of the 24 solar terms of the year. Audiences around the world admired on the screen the changes in natural rhythm at different solar terms. Described in some books and documentaries, the ancient Chinese understood the importance of time in developing agriculture. They arranged farming activities based on the 24 solar terms. According to a survey by a British agronomist in the 19th century, farmers in China used the land well. With unchanged energy and labor, each acre of land could support six times more people than a similar plot in Britain at the time, demonstrating Chinese farmers’ deep understanding of time. The solar terms not only affect agriculture but shape Chinese regimen. The solar terms guide people to live and work out according to the laws of nature and to seek harmony with it. Lots of traditions and customs regarding the solar terms are sill popular, such as weighing oneself on Lixia (Beginning of Summer), eating newly harvested wheat on Xiaoman (Grain Buds) and gaining weight on Liqiu (Beginning of Autumn). Production and life follow the rhythm of time, as do individuals and society. The 24 solar terms not only mark changes of time, but also serve as cultural symbols reminding people to maintain certain principles.
