Holmenkollen Ski Museum Open for over a century, Holmenkollen Ski Museum is considered the world’s oldest museum dedicated (专用的) to skiing. And while its collection is various — covering more than 4,000 years of skiing history and including equipment used during polar expeditions by Norwegian explorers in the 1800s and more — its showpiece is the 397-foot ski jump tower just outside its doors. Since 1892, some of the world’s greatest ski jumpers have competed here. Maihaugen Located 110 miles north of Oslo, Maihaugen gives a short experience of what life was like for Norwegians from the Middle Ages to today. Having an area of 89 acres, the open-air museum holds a collection belonging to Anders Sandvig. He sold the collection in 1901 and its new owner continued to add something new. Munch Museum Most people have heard of Edvard Munch, the Norwegian artist responsible for The Scream — but what they may not realize is that Munch created multiple versions of this work, including two paintings and two pastels. Munch Museum holds one of the paintings, as well as a collection, which includes more than 1,200 paintings, 18,000 prints and six sculptures (雕像) created by the artist. Vigeland Museum Gustay Vigeland remains one of Norway’s most well-respected sculptors, and the Vigeland Museum and Park celebrates his artistry with a museum and sculpture park dedicated to his huge body of work. In addition to making hundreds of sculptures, Vigeland also created woodcuts, which are on display alongside some of his smaller works. 1．What can we learn about Holmenkollen Ski Museum? A．It belongs to a famous artist. B．It has a history of less than 100 years. C．It is the largest skiing museum in Norway.

Passage 3 (24-25高二上·湖南长沙湖南师范大学附属中学·期中) When the first modern Olympics kicked off in Athens in 1896, it wasn’t clear whether they’d last. However, it continued in 1900 and 1904, but not as a main attraction. Some of the Olympic events might seem a bit unusual to today’s sports fans. Chariot(战车) Racing Starting around 684 B．C．, drivers raced each other in horse-drawn chariots at the Olympics, sometimes crashing into one another. Only men could join in Olympic events as athletes, but wealthy women could show their support for chariots as sponsors. Because it was a chariot’s funder who received the victory title, not the racer himself, this was the only way women could “win” at the Olympics. Hot Air Balloon Racing With the expanded time, the 1900 Olympics featured many more athletes and events than the 1896 Olympics, including various hot air balloon competitions. Hot air balloon drivers competed in terms of distance traveled, altitude reached and best photograph taken from a balloon. However, hot air balloon racing made its appearance for the first time and also the last time in 1900. Live Pigeon(鸽子) Shooting Another event that appeared first at the 1900 Olympics was live pigeon shooting. In this competition, organizers set free pigeons into the air in front of a competitor, who then shot as many as possible. The winner was a Belgian man named Lcon de Lun, who shot 21 pigeons. Altogether, the competitors killed around 300 pigeons. Luckily, live pigeon shooting only appeared at the Olympics once. Painting Starting with the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm and continuing until the 1948 games in London, the Olympics held art competitions in painting as well as sculpture, music, architecture and literature. The art competitions were called off because so many competitors were professional artists, and the Olympics were supposed to make the amateurs (people who didn’t get paid for their athletic or artistic talent) shine. 1．How could a woman be involved in Chariot Racing? A．By training a chariot driver. B．By funding a chariot. C．By competing in the race. D．By signing up as a volunteer. 2．What do Hot Air Balloon Racing and Live Pigeon Shooting have in common? A．They involved the use of animals as a necessary part. B．They were warmly welcomed by the audience. C．They required excellent skills in photography. D．They only existed once in history as Olympic events. 3． Why were the art competitions removed from the Olympic Games? A．The costs of organizing them were too high. B．The quality of the artistic works was far from satisfactory. C．The competitors were not what the organizers expected. D．The organizers believed arts were not as important as sports.

Here are several worth visiting. Holmenkollen Ski Museum Open for over a century, Holmenkollen Ski Museum is considered the world’s oldest museum dedicated (专用的) to skiing. And while its collection is various — covering more than 4,000 years of skiing history and including equipment used during polar expeditions by Norwegian explorers in the 1800s and more — its showpiece is the 397-foot ski jump tower just outside its doors. Since 1892, some of the world’s greatest ski jumpers have competed here. Maihaugen Located 110 miles north of Oslo, Maihaugen gives a short experience of what life was like for Norwegians from the Middle Ages to today. Having an area of 89 acres, the open-air museum holds a collection belonging to Anders Sandvig. He sold the collection in 1901 and its new owner continued to add something new. Munch Museum Most people have heard of Edvard Munch, the Norwegian artist responsible for The Scream — but what they may not realize is that Munch created multiple versions of this work, including two paintings and two pastels. Munch Museum holds one of the paintings, as well as a collection, which includes more than 1,200 paintings, 18,000 prints and six sculptures (雕像) created by the artist. Vigeland Museum Gustay Vigeland remains one of Norway’s most well-respected sculptors, and the Vigeland Museum and Park celebrates his artistry with a museum and sculpture park dedicated to his huge body of work. In addition to making hundreds of sculptures, Vigeland also created woodcuts, which are on display alongside some of his smaller works. 1．What can we learn about Holmenkollen Ski Museum? A．It belongs to a famous artist. B．It has a history of less than 100 years. C．It is the largest skiing museum in Norway. D．People can watch some competitions there. 2．Which can be a painting enthusiast’s favorite? A．Maihaugen. B．Munch Museum. C．Vigeland Museum. D．Holmenkollen Ski Museum. 3． What may be the purpose of the text? A．To attract more visitors. B．To promote some artworks. C．To compare some museums. D．To introduce a new art form. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文，主要介绍了几个值得参观的挪威博物馆。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Since 1892, some of the world’s greatest ski jumpers have competed here.(自1892年以来，一些世界上最伟大的跳台滑雪运动员曾在这里比赛)”可知，人们可以在那里观看一些比赛。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Munch Museum holds one of the paintings, as well as a collection, which includes more than 1,200 paintings, 18,000 prints and six sculptures created by the artist.(蒙克博物馆收藏了一幅画作，以及一个包括由艺术家创作的1200多幅画作，18000幅版画和六座雕塑的收藏)”可推知，Munch Museum对于绘画爱好者来说会是一个最喜欢的选择。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Norway is filled with museums devoted to different aspects of its unique history. Here are several worth visiting.(挪威有很多博物馆，致力于其独特历史的不同方面。这里有几个值得参观的)”及文章介绍了几个值得参观的挪威博物馆，可推知，此文本的目的是为了吸引更多的游客。故选A。 Passage 3 (24-25高二上·湖南长沙湖南师范大学附属中学·期中) When the first modern Olympics kicked off in Athens in 1896, it wasn’t clear whether they’d last. However, it continued in 1900 and 1904, but not as a main attraction. Some of the Olympic events might seem a bit unusual to today’s sports fans. Chariot(战车) Racing Starting around 684 B．C．, drivers raced each other in horse-drawn chariots at the Olympics, sometimes crashing into one another. Only men could join in Olympic events as athletes, but wealthy women could show their support for chariots as sponsors. Because it was a chariot’s funder who received the victory title, not the racer himself, this was the only way women could “win” at the Olympics. Hot Air Balloon Racing With the expanded time, the 1900 Olympics featured many more athletes and events than the 1896 Olympics, including various hot air balloon competitions. Hot air balloon drivers competed in terms of distance traveled, altitude reached and best photograph taken from a balloon. However, hot air balloon racing made its appearance for the first time and also the last time in 1900. Live Pigeon(鸽子) Shooting Another event that appeared first at the 1900 Olympics was live pigeon shooting. In this competition, organizers set free pigeons into the air in front of a competitor, who then shot as many as possible. The winner was a Belgian man named Lcon de Lun, who shot 21 pigeons. Altogether, the competitors killed around 300 pigeons. Luckily, live pigeon shooting only appeared at the Olympics once. Painting Starting with the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm and continuing until the 1948 games in London, the Olympics held art competitions in painting as well as sculpture, music, architecture and literature. The art competitions were called off because so many competitors were professional artists, and the Olympics were supposed to make the amateurs (people who didn’t get paid for their athletic or artistic talent) shine. 1．How could a woman be involved in Chariot Racing? A．By training a chariot driver. B．By funding a chariot. C．By competing in the race. D．By signing up as a volunteer. 2．What do Hot Air Balloon Racing and Live Pigeon Shooting have in common? A．They involved the use of animals as a necessary part. B．They were warmly welcomed by the audience. C．They required excellent skills in photography. D．They only existed once in history as Olympic events. 3． Why were the art competitions removed from the Olympic Games? A．The costs of organizing them were too high. B．The quality of the artistic works was far from satisfactory. C．The competitors were not what the organizers expected. D．The organizers believed arts were not as important as sports. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四种曾经在奥运会上出现过的比赛项目。 1．细节理解题。根据题干可定位到原文“Chariot(战车) Racing”部分中的“Only men could join in Olympic events as athletes, but wealthy women could show their support for chariots as sponsors. Because it was a chariot’s funder who received the victory title, not the racer himself, this was the only way women could “win” at the Olympics.(只有男性可以作为运动员参加奥运会，但富有的女性可以作为赞助商表示对战车的支持。因为获得胜利头衔的是战车的资助者，而不是赛车手本人，这是女性在奥运会上“获胜”的唯一途径。)”可知，只有男性可以作为运动员参加战车比赛项目，而获得胜利头衔的是战车的资助者，所以如果一个女性要参与到战车比赛中就要赞助一辆战车。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据题干可分别定位到“Hot Air Balloon Racing”和“Live Pigeon(鸽子) Shooting”两个部分的最后一句话“However, hot air balloon racing made its appearance for the first time and also the last time in 1900.(然而，1900年热气球竞赛首次出现，也是最后一次出现。)”和“Luckily, live pigeon shooting only appeared at the Olympics once.(幸运的是，活鸽射击只在奥运会上出现过一次。)”可知，这两个运动项目在奥运历史上都只出现过一次。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据题干可定位到最后一段中的“The art competitions were called off because so many competitors were professional artists, and the Olympics were supposed to make the amateurs (people who didn’t get paid for their athletic or artistic talent) shine.(艺术比赛被取消了，因为很多参赛者都是专业艺术家，而奥运会本应让业余爱好者（那些没有因运动天赋或艺术天赋而获得报酬的人）大放异彩。)”可知，参加艺术比赛的很多都是专业艺术家，而不是业余爱好者，由此可推测出，取消艺术比赛是因为参赛者并不是组织者所期望的人。故选C。 Passage 4 (24-25高二上·湖南衡阳衡阳县第一中学·期中) A Lesson Plan from Life Planning Education：A Youth Development Program Purpose：To learn about body language and how to use body language Materials (材料)：cards; container Time：25－35 minutes Planning Notes： •Write the words below on cards: angry, disappointed, shy, afraid, sad, happy, nervous, excited, bored •Place the cards in the container so volunteers can draw them out one at a time. Steps： First make sure that all volunteers know what body language means(expressing feelings through body movement and facial expressions).Go over the following instructions: •I’ll need at least 9 volunteers to play a game similar to charades (猜词游戏). •The first volunteer will draw a card with a feeling written on it and act out the feeling without using words. •The rest of the group will guess what feeling is being communicated. Once someone correctly guesses the feeling, the next person in line will draw a card and act out what is written on it, again without words. •The game will continue until there are no more cards or until time is up. At last, end the activity using the discussion points below: •Can you give examples of when someone’s body language communicated a different message from what he/she actually said? •Sometimes one person is offended (冒犯) by another’s body language. How can you work to keep that from happening? Answers may include: be honest and direct; match your non-verbal messages to your verbal ones; be aware of cultural attitudes toward different kinds of body language. 1．To whom is the text most likely written? A．Teachers. B．Students. C．Volunteers. D．Young parents. 2．What do we know about the game? A．One volunteer draws all cards. B．Volunteers guess feelings one by one. C．Each volunteer is given 25－35 minutes. D．Feelings on cards are shown non-verbally. 3． What are you advised to do to avoid offensive body language? A．Learn about different cultures. B．Behave humorously. C．Act indirectly. D．Just let it be. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。是一堂关于肢体语言运用的课程设计。 1．推理判断题。根据文章标题“A Lesson Plan from Life Planning Education: A Youth Development Program”（人生规划教育课程计划：青少年发展计划）及文章第一段“Purpose: To learn about body language and how to use body language”（目的：了解肢体语言以及如何使用肢体语言）以及全文可知，本文是一堂关于肢体语言运用的课程设计，由此可推知，文章的受众是教师。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据Steps部分中的“The first volunteer will draw a card with a feeling written on it and act out the feeling without using words.”（•第一位志愿者将画一张写有感受的卡片，并表演出这种感受，但不说话。）及“Once someone correctly guesses the feeling, the next person in line will draw a card and act out what is written on it, again without words.”（一旦有人正确猜出了这种感觉，排队的下一个人就会抽出一张卡片并表演出卡片上的内容，同样不用言语。）可知，志愿者们在做猜词游戏时，要避免使用话语，只能用表演的方式呈现卡片上表示感觉的单词。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“•Sometimes one person is offended ( 冒犯) by another’s body language. How can you work to keep that from happening? Answers may include: be honest and direct; match your non-verbal messages to your verbal ones; be aware of cultural attitudes toward different kinds of body language.”（•有时一个人会被另一个人的肢体语言冒犯。你该如何避免这种情况发生？答案可能包括：诚实而直接；将你的非语言信息与你的语言信息相匹配；注意不同文化对不同肢体语言的态度。）可知，为避免肢体语言冒犯他人，应该学习了解不同的文化。故选A。 Passage 5 (24-25高二上·湖南常德汉寿县第一中学·期中) Hong Kong and Macau are home to several well-known universities that offer diverse courses and programs to students.

Park courses look like large pools with ramps where athletes perform tricks during two run while street courses create rails and steps for athletes to complete timed runs and perform great tricks. There will also be a new “scoring refusal” rule. With this rule, skaters can now cancel a trick’s score. This way, competitors can tell the judges to ignore a previous attempt at a trick so they can do a better job and achieve a higher score. New format Do you think sport climbing is just about being faster? Not really. In the Olympics, it includes three disciplines: bouldering (攀石), speed and lead. Speed climbing is the only discipline where faster is better. Lead climbing requires athletes to climb walls over 15 metres high in six minutes, the higher the better. As for bouldering, athletes climb a 4. 5-metre-high rock wall in a limited period of time and in the fewest attempts possible. In Tokyo, athletes competed in all three disciplines, with total scores reflecting combined performances. For Paris 2024, there will be two distinct Olympic climbing events. One will be a combined competition of bouldering and lead events, and the second will feature a speed event. New sport Breaking will make its Olympic debut at the Paris Olympic Games. It is a type of street dance that started in New York in the 1970s. It’s part of hip-pop culture and includes tough moves like spins and flips. It will feature 16 males and 16 females born by Dec 31, 2008. They will compete in one-on-one battles to music randomly chosen by a DJ.
