Experts said China has transitioned from "cultural relic protection" to "cultural heritage protection," and this awareness will provide new possibilities for urban development and cultural preservation, according to the report of China News on Sunday. The list of projects in the 9th batch of China's 20th century architectural heritage is revealed at the "Public Vision of 20th Century Heritage - Introduction of the 9th Batch of China's 20th Century Architectural Heritage Projects and Seminar" held in Tianjin on Saturday, which included Tianjin Ancient Culture Street, the people's congress hall in Ningbo, East China's Zhejiang Province, Jiangxi Provincial Art Museum in East China's Jiangxi Province among others, China News reported. An academic highlight of the event was the release of the China 20th Century Architectural Heritage Annual Report (2014-24) blue book.  According to reports, the significance and value of the blue book publication lie in summarizing the development process of China's 20th century architectural heritage over the past decade, praising the achievements of China's 20th century architectural heritage over the past decade, and proposing the future development vision of China's 20th century architectural heritage. Industry insiders delivered keynote speeches, examining the concept of 20th-century architectural heritage from different perspectives. They also provided attendees with a new perspective on the activation and utilization of architectural heritage from an international standpoint. Other participating experts shared their design experiences, insights, and feelings in heritage preservation and development. Shan Jixiang, chairman of the China Cultural Relics Academy and director of the Academic Committee of the Palace Museum, said that "activation" is the focus of the protection of these buildings. "20th century architectural heritage is not 'frozen,' but changes with the times. A historical building or zone must be given today's functions, used correctly, and utilized reasonably." "Compared with traditional wooden ancient buildings, industrial heritage has a wider range of uses." Taking Beijing's Shougang Park as an example, Shan introduced the importance of "activation." "Shougang Park used to be a steel production base, but has now become an industrial heritage park after ceasing production. Many large-scale cultural, tourism, and sports activities are taking place in Shougang Park, and its functions are constantly expanding," Shan said. He added that protecting 20th-century architectural heritage is not just the task of the government or cultural departments but the responsibility of all people. Only when the general public understands the value of these heritage sites and their significance for future generations will they be carefully preserved, gain "dignity," and become a positive force for economic and social development, benefiting the daily and cultural lives of more people. Regarding the current situation of the protection of Chinese cultural heritage, Shan told the Global Times that China has transitioned from "cultural relic protection" to "cultural heritage protection"; from only protecting ancient cultural relics to protecting contemporary and 20th-century cultural heritage; and from only protecting "a bridge or a tower" to protecting corridors for commodity trade and cultural exchange. "The activation of buildings" not only continues the value of historical heritage but also provides new possibilities for urban development. "The 20th century architectural heritage builds a bridge between the past and the future. We should balance the relationship between protection and activation, paving the way for future urban construction and cultural preservation," Shan said. 【译文欣赏】 新公布的102个建筑遗产项目 为加强20世纪中国建筑遗产保护，第九批中国20世纪建筑遗产名录近日新增102个项目。据《中国新闻周刊》周日报道，专家指出我国已从“文物保护”迈向"文化遗产保护"理念，这一转变将为城市发展与文化传承开辟新路径。 周六在天津举行的“公众视野下的20世纪遗产——第九批中国20世纪建筑遗产项目推介会”上，正式公布了包含天津古文化街、宁波人民大会堂、江西省美术馆等在内的新一批名录。活动学术亮点是同期发布的《中国20世纪建筑遗产年度报告（2014-2024）》蓝皮书。该蓝皮书系统梳理了过去十年我国20世纪建筑遗产的发展历程，总结保护成就，并展望未来发展方向。 中国文物学会会长、故宫博物院学术委员会主任单霁翔强调：“‘活化利用'是当代建筑遗产保护的核心。20世纪建筑遗产不是'凝固的标本’，而应随时代演进。我们必须为历史建筑注入现代功能，实现正确使用与合理利用的平衡。” 中国文物学会会长、故宫博物院学术委员会主任单霁翔表示，“活化”是保护这批建筑的核心。“20世纪建筑遗产不是‘冻结’的，而是随时代变化。历史建筑或街区必须赋予当代功能，正确使用并合理利用。” “相比传统木构古建筑，工业遗产用途更广。”单霁翔以北京首钢园为例说明“活化”的重要性：“首钢园原是钢铁基地，停产之后变身为工业遗产公园，如今举办众多文化、旅游、体育活动，功能持续扩展。” 专家特别指出，20世纪建筑遗产保护不仅是政府职责，更需要全民参与。“当公众真正理解这些遗产的世代传承价值，它们才能获得应有的‘尊严’，成为促进经济社会发展的积极力量，惠及百姓文化生活。” 单霁翔向《环球时报》表示，我国文化遗产保护已实现三重跨越：从“文物保护”到“文化遗产保护”；从专注古代文物到兼顾近现代遗产；从单体建筑保护扩展到商贸走廊、文化交流线路等系统性保护。 “建筑活化既延续历史文脉，更为城市发展提供新可能。”单霁翔总结道，“20世纪建筑遗产是连接过去与未来的桥梁。我们应统筹保护与利用的关系，为城市文脉传承与建设创新铺就道路。” 【词汇积累】 1. heritage [ˈherɪtɪdʒ] n. 遗产 9. academic [ˌækəˈdemɪk] adj. 学术的 2. preservation [ˌprezərˈveɪʃn] n. 保护 10. function [ˈfʌŋkʃn] n. 功能 3. activation [ˌæktɪˈveɪʃn] n. 活化 11. significance [sɪɡˈnɪfɪkəns] n. 重要性 4. utilization [ˌjuːtəlaɪˈzeɪʃn] n. 利用 12. sustainable [səˈsteɪnəbl] adj. 可持续的 5. contemporary [kənˈtempəreri] adj. 当代的 13. transformation [ˌtrænsfərˈmeɪʃn] n. 转型 6. transition [trænˈzɪʃn] n. 转变 14. dignity [ˈdɪɡnəti] n. 尊严 7. industrial [ɪnˈdʌstriəl] adj. 工业的 15. perspective [pərˈspektɪv] n. 视角 8. corridor [ˈkɒrɪdɔːr] n. 走廊 【知识拓展】 世界遗产的分类 1. 文化遗产（Cultural Heritage） 定义 具有突出历史、艺术、科学或人类学价值的人类创造物或文化景观。 核心标准 代表人类创造性杰作（如金字塔、长城）。 展现某一时期或文化的建筑、技术或景观发展（如罗马斗兽场）。 见证已消失的文明或文化传统（如玛雅遗址）。 体现人类价值观交流（如丝绸之路）。 与重大历史事件或传统相关（如奥斯维辛集中营）。 典型例子 中国：故宫、秦始皇陵、敦煌莫高窟 全球：埃及金字塔、雅典卫城、意大利威尼斯 2. 自然遗产（Natural Heritage） 定义 具有显著生态、地质或生物多样性的自然区域或地貌。 核心标准 代表地球演化或生态过程的突出例证（如大峡谷）。 展现重要生态系统或生物多样性（如亚马孙雨林）。 包含独特自然景观或罕见自然现象（如极光、火山）。 为濒危物种提供关键栖息地（如大堡礁）。 典型例子 中国：九寨沟、黄龙、三江并流 全球：加拉帕戈斯群岛、非洲塞伦盖蒂草原 3. 混合遗产（Mixed Heritage） 定义 同时满足文化与自然遗产标准的遗产地（全球仅约40处）。 特点 体现“人与自然和谐共生”的哲学。 保护挑战：需兼顾文化修复与生态保护。 典型例子 中国：泰山（文化石刻+自然景观）、黄山 全球：秘鲁马丘比丘（印加文明+安第斯山）、澳大利亚乌鲁鲁（原住民文化+红岩地貌） 【词汇延伸】 heritage protection遗产保护 industrial heritage工业遗产 architectural heritage建筑遗产 urban development城市发展 cultural preservation文化保存 activation of buildings建筑活化 functional transformation功能转型 sustainable utilization可持续利用 ecological balance生态平衡 historical continuity历史延续性 cultural exchange文化交流 scientific research科学研究 climate change气候变化 biological diversity生物多样性 geological features地质特征 endangered species濒危物种 natural landscape自然景观 human creativity人类创造力 social development社会发展 economic growth经济增长 高考真题链接 (2025·全国II卷·阅读理解D篇) Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything. 12. What can be inferred about the author’s early life? A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine. C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home. 13. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment? A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste. C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked. C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought. 15. What can we learn about wastED? A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs. C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs. 背景知识 全球食物浪费现状 根据联合国粮农组织（FAO）数据，全球每年约 1/3 的食物（约 13亿吨）被浪费，而同时仍有 8.2亿人 面临饥饿14。 在发达国家，食物浪费主要发生在 零售和消费端（如超市、餐厅、家庭），而在发展中国家，则更多源于 供应链损耗（如储存、运输问题）。 1.

I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns， prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers， integrating crops, trees and livestock，and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium. Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 1. How did the author use to improve the soil? A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags. C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer. 2. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring. 3. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To explain the process of transplanting. B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks. C. To stress the competition of different species. D. To state the formation of multi-species communities. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers Passage 2 （24-25高二下·浙江温州·开学考）The Global Impact Internship (实习) Program is designed to enhance skills and provide valuable work experience.

Xi Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for fatigue (疲劳) at a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “TCM ingredients such as tapioca (木薯粉) and dried tangerine peel (陈皮) are added to the milk tea, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than regular milk tea and has a subtle herbal fragrance,” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.” Since 2023, the hospital has blended TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract a younger generation. “Milk tea is a favorite among young people. We hope it can act as a bridge for them to gain more knowledge about TCM and gradually accept it,” says Liao Changying, director of the hospital’s nutrition department. “The TCM milk tea represents the integration of TCM, modern medicine, nutrition and more. Our goal is to help people prevent and manage diseases while enjoying delicious food and drinks,” Liao explains. Besides, the TCM milk tea shows how traditional medicine is appealing to the younger generation in an approachable manner. Nowadays, one doesn’t even need to visit a hospital to experience TCM in China. In Chongqing’s Wansheng economic development zone, a TCM night market is held every weekend. “At these diverse stalls, we can enjoy free diagnoses and acupuncture and purchase TCM sachets (香囊) and drinks,” says Yang Jian, a 24-year-old resident. “I never realized TCM could be so close to our daily lives.” Doctor Wang Huiwu, who attended the night market, is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM. He also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”. 1. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The personal experience of a college student with TCM. B. The introduction of a new TCM product. C. The concept of “good medicine tastes bitter” in TCM. D. The health benefits of sweet milk tea with TCM ingredients. 2. Why does the hospital integrate TCM with modern tastes? A. To replace modern medicine with traditional practices. B. To attract the interest of younger individuals. C. To make TCM less effective for health benefits. D. To boost the financial cost of TCM items. 3. What is the TCM night market like? A. A place for professional health advice. B. A social event with free entertainment. C. A venue for experiencing TCM in daily life. D. A platform for selling TCM products only. 4. What is Doctor Wang Huiwu’s attitude towards TCM? A. Skeptical. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Unclear. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·温州市浙南·名校联盟）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 At some point, everyone has faced unkind remarks or actions. Whether it’s teasing from classmates or harsh words from peers, dealing with such situations can be challenging. ____1____ Here are some tips to help you respond effectively and build your confidence. Practice comebacks. Quick, confident replies - known as comebacks - can stop bullies in their tracks. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, try practicing. Ask a friend or a sympathetic adult to role-play with you. If you don’t feel comfortable with this, you can try it on your own in the mirror. Notice which style of comeback feels most natural to you. For example, if humor doesn’t feel natural, a calm response like “Are you finished?” may be more effective. ____2____ Learn a little about your bully. Bullies are usually very socially intelligent and great people-readers. They can easily see which comments get under people’s skin. You can benefit from building up this same skill, but using it for defense instead of for aggression (like the bully). Watch the bully’s reaction when you deliver your comeback and the reaction of others around him. Did he respond with surprise or walk away? ____3____ Watch for patterns and make note of what worked and what didn’t. ____4____ Sometimes comebacks can lead to more insults and even violence. Keep an eye out for signs that the person is becoming aggressive. The person may touch his head or face and clench (握紧) his fists. The person may remove an article of clothing, and may crouch down slightly. In addition, the person may turn his non-dominant side toward you; so, a left-handed person may turn his right side toward you. If you notice any of these behaviors, do not try to make a comeback and back away from the person. Get help. If someone is bullying you regularly, get help from a teacher or a parent. ____5____ If you can’t solve the problem informally, get someone in a position of authority involved. You shouldn’t have to deal with constant insults from a bully in any situation. A. Come up with safety ideas. B. Watch for physical signals of violence. C. Then the comeback style used was successful. D. Bullies are less likely to pick on you if you aren’t alone. E. You can also get in a lot of trouble for using these kinds of insults. F. While ignoring them sometimes works, a more active approach is often needed. G. Use what works best for you until you can practice and use the other methods effectively. Passage 5 （24-25高二下·辽宁·调研）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Care for Indoor Plants If you’ve ever had an indoor plant that’s quickly withered (枯萎), you might believe that you don’t have a green thumb or you’re not cut out for growing plants. ____1____ The truth is that anyone can be a good plant owner, and it really isn't complicated, we promise. In this article, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to care for your indoor plants, from watering to sunlight requirements to fertilizer. ____2____ If your soil is either too dry or overwatered, it can damage the plant’s roots and prevent the plant from growing. In some cases under or over watering your plant can also kill it. Plants with thick leaves require more water than plants with leathery leaves. There is no specific frequency that works for all indoor plants. Instead, what you must do is determine what kind of plant you have, and follow guidelines on how often to water it by doing research on its specific type. Stick your finger in the soil to determine how wet it is below the surface. If you put your finger into the soil up to your joint, you can feel if your plant needs more water. If the soil feels damp, then you don’t need to water it. ____3____ If it feels dry then it’s likely you need to water it. Use water that is at room temperature. 68F or 20C is the best temperature to keep the water that you’re using to water your plants. ____4____ After that, you are supposed to take some actions to make the plants grow comfortably. Use a hand-held moisture (水分) meter to ensure water levels in your soil. ____5____ The mechanism explores the underlying soil to give you a reading on how hydrated (含水的) your soil is. A．Keep potting soil moist, but not wet. B．Indoor plants are not necessarily good for us. C．Well, we’re here to tell you that’s not the case. D．Test whether your finger is long enough to put into the soil. E．You can use a thermometer to determine the temperature of the water. F．Over-watering can lead to rotting of the root which you need to fix. G．Moisture meters are the most accurate way to determine how hydrated your plants are.

Experts said China has transitioned from "cultural relic protection" to "cultural heritage protection," and this awareness will provide new possibilities for urban development and cultural preservation, according to the report of China News on Sunday. The list of projects in the 9th batch of China's 20th century architectural heritage is revealed at the "Public Vision of 20th Century Heritage - Introduction of the 9th Batch of China's 20th Century Architectural Heritage Projects and Seminar" held in Tianjin on Saturday, which included Tianjin Ancient Culture Street, the people's congress hall in Ningbo, East China's Zhejiang Province, Jiangxi Provincial Art Museum in East China's Jiangxi Province among others, China News reported. An academic highlight of the event was the release of the China 20th Century Architectural Heritage Annual Report (2014-24) blue book.  According to reports, the significance and value of the blue book publication lie in summarizing the development process of China's 20th century architectural heritage over the past decade, praising the achievements of China's 20th century architectural heritage over the past decade, and proposing the future development vision of China's 20th century architectural heritage. Industry insiders delivered keynote speeches, examining the concept of 20th-century architectural heritage from different perspectives. They also provided attendees with a new perspective on the activation and utilization of architectural heritage from an international standpoint. Other participating experts shared their design experiences, insights, and feelings in heritage preservation and development. Shan Jixiang, chairman of the China Cultural Relics Academy and director of the Academic Committee of the Palace Museum, said that "activation" is the focus of the protection of these buildings. "20th century architectural heritage is not 'frozen,' but changes with the times. A historical building or zone must be given today's functions, used correctly, and utilized reasonably." "Compared with traditional wooden ancient buildings, industrial heritage has a wider range of uses." Taking Beijing's Shougang Park as an example, Shan introduced the importance of "activation." "Shougang Park used to be a steel production base, but has now become an industrial heritage park after ceasing production. Many large-scale cultural, tourism, and sports activities are taking place in Shougang Park, and its functions are constantly expanding," Shan said. He added that protecting 20th-century architectural heritage is not just the task of the government or cultural departments but the responsibility of all people. Only when the general public understands the value of these heritage sites and their significance for future generations will they be carefully preserved, gain "dignity," and become a positive force for economic and social development, benefiting the daily and cultural lives of more people. Regarding the current situation of the protection of Chinese cultural heritage, Shan told the Global Times that China has transitioned from "cultural relic protection" to "cultural heritage protection"; from only protecting ancient cultural relics to protecting contemporary and 20th-century cultural heritage; and from only protecting "a bridge or a tower" to protecting corridors for commodity trade and cultural exchange. "The activation of buildings" not only continues the value of historical heritage but also provides new possibilities for urban development. "The 20th century architectural heritage builds a bridge between the past and the future. We should balance the relationship between protection and activation, paving the way for future urban construction and cultural preservation," Shan said. 【译文欣赏】 新公布的102个建筑遗产项目 为加强20世纪中国建筑遗产保护，第九批中国20世纪建筑遗产名录近日新增102个项目。据《中国新闻周刊》周日报道，专家指出我国已从“文物保护”迈向"文化遗产保护"理念，这一转变将为城市发展与文化传承开辟新路径。 周六在天津举行的“公众视野下的20世纪遗产——第九批中国20世纪建筑遗产项目推介会”上，正式公布了包含天津古文化街、宁波人民大会堂、江西省美术馆等在内的新一批名录。活动学术亮点是同期发布的《中国20世纪建筑遗产年度报告（2014-2024）》蓝皮书。该蓝皮书系统梳理了过去十年我国20世纪建筑遗产的发展历程，总结保护成就，并展望未来发展方向。 中国文物学会会长、故宫博物院学术委员会主任单霁翔强调：“‘活化利用'是当代建筑遗产保护的核心。20世纪建筑遗产不是'凝固的标本’，而应随时代演进。我们必须为历史建筑注入现代功能，实现正确使用与合理利用的平衡。” 中国文物学会会长、故宫博物院学术委员会主任单霁翔表示，“活化”是保护这批建筑的核心。“20世纪建筑遗产不是‘冻结’的，而是随时代变化。历史建筑或街区必须赋予当代功能，正确使用并合理利用。” “相比传统木构古建筑，工业遗产用途更广。”单霁翔以北京首钢园为例说明“活化”的重要性：“首钢园原是钢铁基地，停产之后变身为工业遗产公园，如今举办众多文化、旅游、体育活动，功能持续扩展。” 专家特别指出，20世纪建筑遗产保护不仅是政府职责，更需要全民参与。“当公众真正理解这些遗产的世代传承价值，它们才能获得应有的‘尊严’，成为促进经济社会发展的积极力量，惠及百姓文化生活。” 单霁翔向《环球时报》表示，我国文化遗产保护已实现三重跨越：从“文物保护”到“文化遗产保护”；从专注古代文物到兼顾近现代遗产；从单体建筑保护扩展到商贸走廊、文化交流线路等系统性保护。 “建筑活化既延续历史文脉，更为城市发展提供新可能。”单霁翔总结道，“20世纪建筑遗产是连接过去与未来的桥梁。我们应统筹保护与利用的关系，为城市文脉传承与建设创新铺就道路。” 【词汇积累】 1. heritage [ˈherɪtɪdʒ] n. 遗产 9. academic [ˌækəˈdemɪk] adj. 学术的 2. preservation [ˌprezərˈveɪʃn] n. 保护 10. function [ˈfʌŋkʃn] n. 功能 3. activation [ˌæktɪˈveɪʃn] n. 活化 11. significance [sɪɡˈnɪfɪkəns] n. 重要性 4. utilization [ˌjuːtəlaɪˈzeɪʃn] n. 利用 12. sustainable [səˈsteɪnəbl] adj. 可持续的 5. contemporary [kənˈtempəreri] adj. 当代的 13. transformation [ˌtrænsfərˈmeɪʃn] n. 转型 6. transition [trænˈzɪʃn] n. 转变 14. dignity [ˈdɪɡnəti] n. 尊严 7. industrial [ɪnˈdʌstriəl] adj. 工业的 15. perspective [pərˈspektɪv] n. 视角 8. corridor [ˈkɒrɪdɔːr] n. 走廊 【知识拓展】 世界遗产的分类 1. 文化遗产（Cultural Heritage） 定义 具有突出历史、艺术、科学或人类学价值的人类创造物或文化景观。 核心标准 代表人类创造性杰作（如金字塔、长城）。 展现某一时期或文化的建筑、技术或景观发展（如罗马斗兽场）。 见证已消失的文明或文化传统（如玛雅遗址）。 体现人类价值观交流（如丝绸之路）。 与重大历史事件或传统相关（如奥斯维辛集中营）。 典型例子 中国：故宫、秦始皇陵、敦煌莫高窟 全球：埃及金字塔、雅典卫城、意大利威尼斯 2. 自然遗产（Natural Heritage） 定义 具有显著生态、地质或生物多样性的自然区域或地貌。 核心标准 代表地球演化或生态过程的突出例证（如大峡谷）。 展现重要生态系统或生物多样性（如亚马孙雨林）。 包含独特自然景观或罕见自然现象（如极光、火山）。 为濒危物种提供关键栖息地（如大堡礁）。 典型例子 中国：九寨沟、黄龙、三江并流 全球：加拉帕戈斯群岛、非洲塞伦盖蒂草原 3. 混合遗产（Mixed Heritage） 定义 同时满足文化与自然遗产标准的遗产地（全球仅约40处）。 特点 体现“人与自然和谐共生”的哲学。 保护挑战：需兼顾文化修复与生态保护。 典型例子 中国：泰山（文化石刻+自然景观）、黄山 全球：秘鲁马丘比丘（印加文明+安第斯山）、澳大利亚乌鲁鲁（原住民文化+红岩地貌） 【词汇延伸】 heritage protection遗产保护 industrial heritage工业遗产 architectural heritage建筑遗产 urban development城市发展 cultural preservation文化保存 activation of buildings建筑活化 functional transformation功能转型 sustainable utilization可持续利用 ecological balance生态平衡 historical continuity历史延续性 cultural exchange文化交流 scientific research科学研究 climate change气候变化 biological diversity生物多样性 geological features地质特征 endangered species濒危物种 natural landscape自然景观 human creativity人类创造力 social development社会发展 economic growth经济增长 高考真题链接 (2025·全国II卷·阅读理解D篇) Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything. 12. What can be inferred about the author’s early life? A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine. C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home. 13. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment? A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste. C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked. C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought. 15. What can we learn about wastED? A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs. C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了食物浪费问题，并以纽约一家餐厅的短期实验项目“wastED”为例，该餐厅通过创意改造本该被丢弃的食材制作菜品，以此提高人们对可持续饮食的关注。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. (这种感觉或许源于在南非的成长经历 —— 在那里，“非洲还有孩子在挨饿” 这句话与其说是晚餐时的祈祷，不如说是对现实令人不安的提醒)” 可知，作者在南非长大，那里有孩子挨饿是事实，由此可推断作者早年目睹了食物短缺的情况。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. (每道菜都是量身定制的，以提高人们对食物浪费的认识)”可知，Blue Hill餐厅进行这个实验，将菜单改为只提供原本会被扔掉的食物，是为了提高公众对食物浪费的认识。故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. (值得注意的是，从技术上讲，wastED的菜单上没有一项是由垃圾制成的。相反，所有使用的食材都是大多数餐馆永远不会考虑供应的肉类部位和农产品。羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等东西都被重新利用，在许多优秀厨师的助力下，变成了美味的菜肴)”可知，本段主要介绍了wastED菜单上的菜品所用的配料，如羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等，所以本段主要讲的是这些菜肴是由什么做成的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. (尽管 wastED 餐厅收获了热烈的评价，但它从一开始就被设计为短期实验项目；此后，Blue Hill 餐厅已回归常规菜单)”可知，wastED从一开始就被设计为短期实验，现在餐厅已恢复常规菜单，从而推断，实验项目“wastED”已经按计划结束了。故选A。 背景知识 全球食物浪费现状 根据联合国粮农组织（FAO）数据，全球每年约 1/3 的食物（约 13亿吨）被浪费，而同时仍有 8.2亿人 面临饥饿14。 在发达国家，食物浪费主要发生在 零售和消费端（如超市、餐厅、家庭），而在发展中国家，则更多源于 供应链损耗（如储存、运输问题）。 1.

I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns， prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers， integrating crops, trees and livestock，and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium. Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 1. How did the author use to improve the soil? A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags. C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer. 2. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring. 3. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To explain the process of transplanting. B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks. C. To stress the competition of different species. D. To state the formation of multi-species communities. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文 。文章讲述作者四年前在波特兰买房后打理花园，面对贫瘠土壤，采用现代农业方法改良，最终对土壤有全新认知的过程。 1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. (以前，在那些小得多的花园里，我会用从苗圃买来的几袋优质土壤来改良土壤)”可知，作者过去是通过添加优质土壤来改善土壤的，也就是添加肥沃的土壤。故选A项。 2. 词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词前面“Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns; prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers; integrating crops, trees and livestock; (现代农业的两个核心原则可以指导这一转变：尽量减少土壤扰动和强调生物多样性。在实践中，轮流种植作物；优先使用有机肥料而非化肥；将农作物、树木以及家畜进行整合)”和划线词后面“…soil from being washed away with cover crops (用覆盖作物来……土壤被冲走)”可知，这里说的是一些现代农业的原则及实践方法，提到用覆盖作物来防止土壤被冲走，划线词在此处应是“保护、防护”的意思，与“Sheltering”意思相近。故选C项。 3. 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium. (五月的时候，我决定移栽一株开花植物。当我把这株植物挖出来时，各种各样的生物都冒了出来。蚯蚓在根部扭动着，一只长脚蜘蛛匆匆寻找藏身之处。在这株植物的下方，我甚至还看到了真菌菌丝体那细密的白色网状结构)”可知，本段描述了作者在移栽开花植物时，看到了蚯蚓、长脚蜘蛛以及真菌菌丝体等各种各样的生物出现，展现了多种生物共存的情况，目的是说明形成了多物种的群落。故选D项。 4. 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. (摆在我面前的挑战是重振土壤)” 和文章最后一段“Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. (我用手指穿过土壤，比以往任何时候都更清楚地意识到，我改变的不仅仅是我的院子——它完全改变了我对土壤的看法。它不仅仅是作为生命的媒介，而且本身就是一个有生命的实体)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者打理花园改造土壤的过程，通过实践对土壤有了新的认识，认为土壤不仅仅是生命的介质，它本身就是一个有生命的个体，强调了土壤的重要性及独特“生命力”，因此，“The Soul of Soil (土壤的灵魂)”作为标题最为合适，能够概括文章的主旨。故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·浙江温州·开学考）The Global Impact Internship (实习) Program is designed to enhance skills and provide valuable work experience.

An internship in Global Impact also builds character, provides a sense of fulfillment, and makes a meaningful difference in our world.( 全球影响力实习计划旨在提高技能并提供宝贵的工作经验。在Global Impact的实习也会塑造性格，提供一种成就感，并为我们的世界带来有意义的改变)” 可知，该实习项目旨在提高技能、提供有价值的工作经验，还能塑造品格、提供成就感，这些都有助于自我发展，所以其主要目的是促进自我发展。故选C项。 2. 推理判断题。根据Project Options部分的“Cultural Exchange: Contribute to the preservation and promotion of local heritage while fostering cross-cultural understanding.( 文化交流：在促进跨文化理解的同时，促进当地遗产的保护和推广)”可推知，文化交流项目有助于保护和促进当地遗产，所以对古代遗迹保护感兴趣的实习生会对文化交流项目感兴趣。故选C项。 3. 细节理解题。根据Internship Requirements部分的“Submission of learning objectives before the program starts.( 课程开始前提交学习目标)”可知，实习生需要在项目开始前提交学习目标，即提前展示学习目标。故选B项。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·江西上饶·月考）The saying “good medicine tastes bitter” may no longer hold in the country where it was born and believed. Xi Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for fatigue (疲劳) at a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “TCM ingredients such as tapioca (木薯粉) and dried tangerine peel (陈皮) are added to the milk tea, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than regular milk tea and has a subtle herbal fragrance,” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.” Since 2023, the hospital has blended TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract a younger generation. “Milk tea is a favorite among young people. We hope it can act as a bridge for them to gain more knowledge about TCM and gradually accept it,” says Liao Changying, director of the hospital’s nutrition department. “The TCM milk tea represents the integration of TCM, modern medicine, nutrition and more. Our goal is to help people prevent and manage diseases while enjoying delicious food and drinks,” Liao explains. Besides, the TCM milk tea shows how traditional medicine is appealing to the younger generation in an approachable manner. Nowadays, one doesn’t even need to visit a hospital to experience TCM in China. In Chongqing’s Wansheng economic development zone, a TCM night market is held every weekend. “At these diverse stalls, we can enjoy free diagnoses and acupuncture and purchase TCM sachets (香囊) and drinks,” says Yang Jian, a 24-year-old resident. “I never realized TCM could be so close to our daily lives.” Doctor Wang Huiwu, who attended the night market, is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM. He also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”. 1. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The personal experience of a college student with TCM. B. The introduction of a new TCM product. C. The concept of “good medicine tastes bitter” in TCM. D. The health benefits of sweet milk tea with TCM ingredients. 2. Why does the hospital integrate TCM with modern tastes? A. To replace modern medicine with traditional practices. B. To attract the interest of younger individuals. C. To make TCM less effective for health benefits. D. To boost the financial cost of TCM items. 3. What is the TCM night market like? A. A place for professional health advice. B. A social event with free entertainment. C. A venue for experiencing TCM in daily life. D. A platform for selling TCM products only. 4. What is Doctor Wang Huiwu’s attitude towards TCM? A. Skeptical. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Unclear. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4.

(自2023年以来，该医院将中医加工技术与现代食品生产相结合，以吸引年轻一代。)”可知，医院将中医与现代口味结合的主要目的是吸引年轻一代的兴趣。故选B项。 3. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“In Chongqing’s Wansheng economic development zone, a TCM night market is held every weekend. “At these diverse stalls, we can enjoy free diagnoses and acupuncture and purchase TCM sachets (香囊) and drinks,” says Yang Jian, a 24-year-old resident. (在重庆万盛经济开发区，每个周末都会举办中医夜市。24岁的居民Yang Jian表示：“在这些不同的摊位上，我们可以享受免费诊断和针灸，还可以购买中药包和饮料。”)”可知，在重庆万盛经济开发区的不同摊位，人们可以享受免费诊断和针灸等，由此可知，中医夜市是一个体验中医的场所。故选C项。 4. 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Doctor Wang Huiwu, who attended the night market, is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM. (参加夜市的Wang Huiwu医生很高兴看到许多年轻游客寻求身体健康方面的专业建议，这表明年轻一代对中医有信心。)”可知，看到很多年轻游客寻求身体健康方面的专业建议，Wang Huiwu医生很高兴，结合下文的“He also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”(他还建议，应该做出更多努力，将中医与年轻人感兴趣的其他领域结合起来，并补充说：“中医正在成为年轻人的新趋势。”)”可知，他提出应该更加努力地将中医与其他年轻人感兴趣的领域相结合起来，由此可知，他对中医是支持和认可的。故选C项。 Passage 4 （24-25高二下·温州市浙南·名校联盟）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 At some point, everyone has faced unkind remarks or actions. Whether it’s teasing from classmates or harsh words from peers, dealing with such situations can be challenging. ____1____ Here are some tips to help you respond effectively and build your confidence. Practice comebacks. Quick, confident replies - known as comebacks - can stop bullies in their tracks. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, try practicing. Ask a friend or a sympathetic adult to role-play with you. If you don’t feel comfortable with this, you can try it on your own in the mirror. Notice which style of comeback feels most natural to you. For example, if humor doesn’t feel natural, a calm response like “Are you finished?” may be more effective. ____2____ Learn a little about your bully. Bullies are usually very socially intelligent and great people-readers. They can easily see which comments get under people’s skin. You can benefit from building up this same skill, but using it for defense instead of for aggression (like the bully). Watch the bully’s reaction when you deliver your comeback and the reaction of others around him. Did he respond with surprise or walk away? ____3____ Watch for patterns and make note of what worked and what didn’t. ____4____ Sometimes comebacks can lead to more insults and even violence. Keep an eye out for signs that the person is becoming aggressive. The person may touch his head or face and clench (握紧) his fists. The person may remove an article of clothing, and may crouch down slightly. In addition, the person may turn his non-dominant side toward you; so, a left-handed person may turn his right side toward you. If you notice any of these behaviors, do not try to make a comeback and back away from the person. Get help. If someone is bullying you regularly, get help from a teacher or a parent. ____5____ If you can’t solve the problem informally, get someone in a position of authority involved. You shouldn’t have to deal with constant insults from a bully in any situation. A. Come up with safety ideas. B. Watch for physical signals of violence. C. Then the comeback style used was successful. D. Bullies are less likely to pick on you if you aren’t alone. E. You can also get in a lot of trouble for using these kinds of insults. F. While ignoring them sometimes works, a more active approach is often needed. G. Use what works best for you until you can practice and use the other methods effectively. 【答案】1. F 2. G 3. C 4. B 5.

In this article, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to care for your indoor plants, from watering to sunlight requirements to fertilizer. ____2____ If your soil is either too dry or overwatered, it can damage the plant’s roots and prevent the plant from growing. In some cases under or over watering your plant can also kill it. Plants with thick leaves require more water than plants with leathery leaves. There is no specific frequency that works for all indoor plants. Instead, what you must do is determine what kind of plant you have, and follow guidelines on how often to water it by doing research on its specific type. Stick your finger in the soil to determine how wet it is below the surface. If you put your finger into the soil up to your joint, you can feel if your plant needs more water. If the soil feels damp, then you don’t need to water it. ____3____ If it feels dry then it’s likely you need to water it. Use water that is at room temperature. 68F or 20C is the best temperature to keep the water that you’re using to water your plants. ____4____ After that, you are supposed to take some actions to make the plants grow comfortably. Use a hand-held moisture (水分) meter to ensure water levels in your soil. ____5____ The mechanism explores the underlying soil to give you a reading on how hydrated (含水的) your soil is. A．Keep potting soil moist, but not wet. B．Indoor plants are not necessarily good for us. C．Well, we’re here to tell you that’s not the case. D．Test whether your finger is long enough to put into the soil. E．You can use a thermometer to determine the temperature of the water. F．Over-watering can lead to rotting of the root which you need to fix. G．Moisture meters are the most accurate way to determine how hydrated your plants are. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．F 4．E 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何种植室内植物，尤其是要注意适度、水分，以及一些相关的实用做法。 1.上文“If you’ve ever had an indoor plant that’s quickly withered (枯萎), you might believe that you don't have a green thumb or you're not cut out for growing plants.(如果你曾经有过室内植物很快枯萎的经历，你可能会认为你没有园艺技能，或者你不适合种植植物。)”和下文“The truth is that anyone can be a good plant owner, and it really isn't complicated, we promise.

In some cases under or over watering your plant can also kill it. Plants with thick leaves require more water than plants with leathery leaves.(如果你的土壤过于干燥或过度浇水，它会损害植物的根系，阻止植物生长。在某些情况下，给植物浇水过多或过少也会杀死它。叶子厚的植物比叶子坚韧的植物需要更多的水分。)”指出不要给植物过渡浇水，A项“保持盆栽土壤是潮湿的，但并不能太湿润”能概括下文，故选A。 3. 上文“If the soil feels damp, then you don’t need to water it.(如果土壤感到潮湿，那么你就不需要浇水。)”指出如果土壤潮湿，就不需要浇水，这是因为过度浇水不利于植物生长，F项“过度浇水会导致你需要修复的根部腐烂”符合，承接上文，故选F。 4.上文“Use water that is at room temperature. 68F or 20C is the best temperature to keep the water that you’re using to water your plants. ( 使用室温下的水。68华氏度或20摄氏度是保存你用来浇灌植物的水的最佳温度。)”强调温水对植物的重要性，所以你可以用温度计来测量水温，E项“你可以用温度计来测定水的温度。”符合，承接上文，故选E。 5.上文“Use a hand-held moisture (水分) meter to ensure water levels in your soil. (使用手持式湿度计，以确保水位在您的土壤。)”提到使用手持式湿度计来确保土壤的含水量，G项“水分测量仪是确定植物水分含量的最准确方法”符合，承接上文，故选G。 Passage 6 （24-25高二上·四川绵阳·期末）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Jade (玉) carving, an ancient Chinese art, is seeing a revival in Suzhou.
