1.(2025·全国二卷·高考真题)English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford, Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow, Shropshire
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious.
1.Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta?
A.In the Ludlow Castle. B.In the Foodie Center of England.
C.In the Hereford Cathedral. D.In the Black and White House Museum.
2.What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center?
A.It’s situated near a big island. B.It’s almost surrounded by water.
C.It’s known for its flower festival. D.It’s easily accessible from London.
3.What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey?

3.(2025·全国一卷·高考真题)The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbonsThe hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air.
CARS — BatteriesBatteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge.
TRAINS — ElectricitySome trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways.
TRUCKS — Hydrogenfuel cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive.
SHIPS — Liquid ammoniaLiquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign.
This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
7.What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A.11.6%. B.45.1%. C.74.5%. D.86.1%.
8.Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A.Planes. B.Trucks. C.Trains. D.Ships.
9.What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A.Limiting fuel consumption. B.Putting more effort into renewables.
C.Improving energy efficiency. D.Making electricity more affordable.
【答案】7.C 8.C 9.B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2018年不同交通方式的温室气体排放占比,以及飞机、汽车等各类交通工具的未来绿色燃料路径。
7.细节理解题。根据图表信息ROAD VEHICLES部分中“ROAD (PASSENGER) 45.1% (道路(客运)45.1%)”以及“ROAD (GOODS) 29.4% (道路(货运)29.4%)”可知,道路车辆总占比为45.1%+29.4%=74.5%,即道路车辆在2018年全球交通排放中占比74.5%。故选C项。
8.细节理解题。根据图表信息TRAINS — Electricity部分中“Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways. (一些列车已经通过轨道或电线实现了电气化;其他火车可以通过非常简单的方式实现电动化)”可知,火车相较其他交通方式更易实现绿色化。故选C项。
9.细节理解题。根据最后一段中““We need to speed up the development of green energy and it will all get used,” says Wipke. (Wipke说:“我们需要加速绿色能源的开发,而且这些能源都会被利用起来。”)”可知,Wipke建议加大对可再生能源的投入,即加大对绿色能源的投入。故选B项。

Passage 4
Burning oil, gas and coal — fuels that come from the remains of ancient plants and animals — releases carbon (碳) into Earth’s atmosphere, where it traps heat and changes the climate. That process has caused massive destruction and loss of life, and it will continue to do so. As a result, carbon is seen as a pollutant.
However, Paul Hawken argues in his new book Carbon: The Book of Life that both the thinking and the message of the climate movement are wrong. “Those who call carbon a pollutant should rethink what they are saying,” Hawken writes. “Carbon is the building block of life. Without it, Earth would just be a lonely, dead rock.”
Hawken believes that treating carbon as a pollutant not only misses what has caused climate change in the first place, but also further separates people from the living world. “There is no climate crisis, but a crisis of human thinking and behavior that’s damaging the soil, wiping out entire species, and changing the weather faster than people can adapt,” he argues. “The warming atmosphere is a response, a teaching.”
Hawken’s book is a lesson in what’s sometimes called “unlearning”, or letting go of old assumptions, like the idea that nature is something to fix or control. Instead, it explores ways to repair a broken relationship with the natural world by drawing inspiration from native cultures and new scientific discoveries.
First of all, Hawken wants a change in how people talk about the natural world. He describes the word “biodiversity” as “a bloodless term”. Even terms like “nature” are not proper for Hawken. He points out that such terms would only be needed if we are not a part of the living world.
The goal of the book is not to map out a plan for saving Earth, but to rebuild the relationship with it. “My community recently broke down a barrier under a bridge that had blocked the fish on their journey up the stream to give birth. The lesson from the project is about care,” Hawken writes. “That’s where we should start.”
10.According to Paul Hawken, carbon should be treated as ________.
A.a polluting element B.the result of burning fuels
C.a part of the living world D.the cause of climate change
11.What does Paul Hawken say about “biodiversity” and ”nature“?
A.They are not based on the latest discoveries.
B.They are helpful in fighting climate changes.
C.They are not easy for the public to understand.
D.They are misleading and should be abandoned.
12.What does Paul Hawken suggest people do in his new book?
A.“Unlearn” to co-exist with nature. B.Find ways to control nature.
C.Return to traditional ways of living. D.Fix the problems scientifically.
13.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A new book. B.A book review.
C.An advertisement. D.An environment report.
【答案】10.C 11.D 12.A 13.B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是Paul Hawken新书《Carbon: The Book of Life》的书评,介绍了书中核心观点,包括对碳的看法、对一些术语的批判以及书中倡导的与自然相处的方式等。
10.细节理解题。根据第二段中Paul Hawken的话“Carbon is the building block of life. Without it, Earth would just be a lonely, dead rock.(碳是生命的基石。没有它,地球将只是一块孤独的、死寂的岩石)”和第三段中“Hawken believes that treating carbon as a pollutant not only misses what has caused climate change in the first place, but also further separates people from the living world.(Hawken认为,将碳视为污染物不仅一开始就忽视了导致气候变化的原因,还会进一步使人类与生物世界分离)”可知,Paul Hawken认为碳是生命的基石,碳应该被视为生物世界的一部分。故选C项。
11.细节理解题。根据第五段中“He describes the word “biodiversity” as “a bloodless term”. Even terms like “nature” are not proper for Hawken. He points out that such terms would only be needed if we are not a part of the living world.(他将‘生物多样性’这个词描述为‘一个毫无生气的术语’。即使是‘自然’这样的术语对Hawken来说也不合适。他指出,只有当我们不是生物世界的一部分时,才需要这样的术语)”可知,Paul Hawken认为“生物多样性”和“自然”这样的术语不合适,具有误导性,应该被摒弃。故选D项。
12.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Hawken’s book is a lesson in what’s sometimes called ‘unlearning’, or letting go of old assumptions, like the idea that nature is something to fix or control. Instead, it explores ways to repair a broken relationship with the natural world by drawing inspiration from native cultures and new scientific discoveries.(Hawken的书是一堂关于所谓‘忘却’的课,即摒弃旧的假设,比如认为自然是需要修复或控制的东西。相反,它从本土文化和新的科学发现中汲取灵感,探索修复与自然世界破裂关系的方法)”可知,Paul Hawken在新书中建议人们“忘却”旧观念,与自然和谐共存。故选A项。
13.推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, Paul Hawken argues in his new book Carbon: The Book of Life that both the thinking and the message of the climate movement are wrong.(然而,Paul Hawken 在他的新书《碳:生命之书》中认为,气候运动的思想和信息都是错误的)”以及第四段中“Hawken’s book is a lesson in what’s sometimes called ‘unlearning’...(Hawken 的书是一堂关于所谓‘忘却’的课……)”等内容,文章围绕Paul Hawken的新书展开,介绍了书中的观点、内容等,所以这篇文章很可能出自一篇书评。故选B项。

Volunteering is a great outlet for self-improvement while helping others, and with Bookmark, you can truly make a difference to the futures of primary school children. Three Bookmark volunteers have shared their stories with us.
Claire
Claire began reading with Zach in 2019. As a writer, she wanted to share her love of books with children who may have not discovered theirs. When packing up in their final session, Zach became happy to try various types of books. In this moment, Claire remembered the child she’d met at the beginning of her sessions, who didn’t believe anyone would read if they could choose not to and started to understand her impact as a Bookmark volunteer.
Sally
Before volunteering with Bookmark, Sally had never worked with children, so beginning the sessions was truly a step out of her comfort zone. Sally felt a real connection to Bookmark’s mission and knew the challenge would pay off. “Volunteering has made me feel more content. I feel I am making a difference.”
Aurélien
Aurélien signed up to read with Connor online in 2020. He had been looking for a way of getting back into volunteering with children as he’d found a past experience rewarding. The flexibility of Bookmark caught his eye, as the online programme fitted in well around his work commitments.
400 children are waiting for a volunteer to help them learn to read. Sign up to become a Bookmark volunteer today and change a child’s story.
7.What can we learn about Zach before he started reading with Claire?

In this moment, Claire remembered the child she’d met at the beginning of her sessions, who didn’t believe anyone would read if they could choose not to and started to understand her impact as a Bookmark volunteer. (在最后一节课结束时,扎克很乐意尝试各种类型的书。在这一刻,克莱尔想起了她在课程开始时遇到的那个孩子,他不相信即使可以选择不阅读,任何一个人都会阅读,并开始理解她作为Bookmark志愿者的影响)”可知,在愿意阅读的Zach开始和Claire一起阅读之前,他不相信即使可以选择不阅读,别人还是会阅读,说明Zach曾不愿意阅读。故选C项。
8.细节理解题。由Aurélien中第一段“The flexibility of Bookmark caught his eye, as the online programme fitted in well around his work commitments. (Bookmark的灵活性引起了他的注意,因为在线程序非常适合他的工作承诺)”可知,Aurélien加入Bookmark是因为Bookmark的灵活性符合他的日程安排。故选A项。

1.(2025·全国二卷·高考真题)English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford, Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow, Shropshire
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious.
1.Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta?
A.In the Ludlow Castle. B.In the Foodie Center of England.

3.(2025·全国一卷·高考真题)The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbonsThe hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air.
CARS — BatteriesBatteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge.
TRAINS — ElectricitySome trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways.
TRUCKS — Hydrogenfuel cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive.
SHIPS — Liquid ammoniaLiquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign.
This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
7.What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A.11.6%. B.45.1%. C.74.5%. D.86.1%.
8.Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A.Planes. B.Trucks. C.Trains. D.Ships.
9.What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A.Limiting fuel consumption. B.Putting more effort into renewables.
C.Improving energy efficiency. D.Making electricity more affordable.

Passage 4
Burning oil, gas and coal — fuels that come from the remains of ancient plants and animals — releases carbon (碳) into Earth’s atmosphere, where it traps heat and changes the climate. That process has caused massive destruction and loss of life, and it will continue to do so. As a result, carbon is seen as a pollutant.
However, Paul Hawken argues in his new book Carbon: The Book of Life that both the thinking and the message of the climate movement are wrong. “Those who call carbon a pollutant should rethink what they are saying,” Hawken writes. “Carbon is the building block of life. Without it, Earth would just be a lonely, dead rock.”
Hawken believes that treating carbon as a pollutant not only misses what has caused climate change in the first place, but also further separates people from the living world. “There is no climate crisis, but a crisis of human thinking and behavior that’s damaging the soil, wiping out entire species, and changing the weather faster than people can adapt,” he argues. “The warming atmosphere is a response, a teaching.”
Hawken’s book is a lesson in what’s sometimes called “unlearning”, or letting go of old assumptions, like the idea that nature is something to fix or control. Instead, it explores ways to repair a broken relationship with the natural world by drawing inspiration from native cultures and new scientific discoveries.
First of all, Hawken wants a change in how people talk about the natural world. He describes the word “biodiversity” as “a bloodless term”. Even terms like “nature” are not proper for Hawken. He points out that such terms would only be needed if we are not a part of the living world.
The goal of the book is not to map out a plan for saving Earth, but to rebuild the relationship with it. “My community recently broke down a barrier under a bridge that had blocked the fish on their journey up the stream to give birth. The lesson from the project is about care,” Hawken writes. “That’s where we should start.”
10.According to Paul Hawken, carbon should be treated as ________.
A.a polluting element B.the result of burning fuels
C.a part of the living world D.the cause of climate change
11.What does Paul Hawken say about “biodiversity” and ”nature“?
A.They are not based on the latest discoveries.
B.They are helpful in fighting climate changes.
C.They are not easy for the public to understand.
D.They are misleading and should be abandoned.
12.What does Paul Hawken suggest people do in his new book?
A.“Unlearn” to co-exist with nature. B.Find ways to control nature.
C.Return to traditional ways of living. D.Fix the problems scientifically.
13.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A new book. B.A book review.
C.An advertisement. D.An environment report.
