Now, let’s check out a few ways conservationists are protecting these habitats. Seaweed Smackdown Hot ocean temperatures can contribute greatly to seaweed growth, which affects the biodiversity (生物多样化) of the coral reef. That’s not good for a reef. So, in Hawaii, scientists have used an underwater device to suck up lots of seaweed into its long tube. In Australia, scientists are studying a low-tech solution: pulling seaweed by hand. Underwater Nurseries Some polyps (珊瑚虫) are harmed by heat waves and pollution. Scientists cut parts of coral from a healthy reef. Then these polyps are taken to a nursery, which could be in shallow protected areas underwater. After about a year, the healthy coral parts are attached to damaged reefs. The nursery-grown corals can bring new life to a struggling habitat. Sound Saver Healthy reefs are noisy. Fish make different sounds, and thousands of shrimp create and pop bubbles with their claws to create a sound. The biologists play sounds of healthy reefs through underwater speakers. They found that six weeks of broadcasting healthy reef sounds doubled the amount of fish in the area. Algae Partner Most coral species survive by partnering with tiny algae (藻类), which make food for the coral by changing sunlight into sugar. Biologists have discovered that many corals in the Red Sea have a species of algae in their tissue that’s found nowhere else, so they can survive heat waves. Biologists hope their work will inspire governments and environmental groups to protect these corals. 1．Why is overgrowing seaweed bad for a reef? A．It makes the water dirty. B．It blocks sunlight. C．It harms the reef ecosystem. D．It absorbs more heat. 2．What can we know from the passage? A．Underwater nurseries aim to increase the biodiversity B．Protecting coral reefs is only the scientists’ duty. C．The healthy reef sounds mainly come from fish. D．The algae in the Red Sea can coexist with heat. 3．What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To present the serious damages to corals. B．To introduce the methods of coral protection. C．To explain the reasons for protecting habitats. D．To compare the ways of protecting coral reefs. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·福建福州·期中） The Maple River, once a beloved waterway in Greenfield City, has faced severe pollution problems in recent years. Local residents used to fish in its clear waters and walk along its banks, but now the river is filled with trash, and a bad smell often hangs in the air. For years, factories along the river have been dumping waste into it, and many residents have been throwing garbage into the water. As a result, fish populations have dropped sharply, and the river can no longer support local wildlife.​ To solve this problem, the Greenfield City Government recently launched the "Clean Maple River" program. The program has three main parts: first, it requires factories to install special filters to treat their waste before releasing it into the river; second, it organizes monthly clean - up events where volunteers can come to pick up garbage along the riverbanks; third, it has started an education campaign in local schools to teach students about the importance of protecting rivers and how they can help.​ Local environmental groups have praised the program. They believe that if everyone works together—factories following the rules, residents stopping littering, and students spreading awareness—the Maple River will be clean and healthy again within five years. This not only benefits the local ecosystem but also makes Greenfield City a better place to live for everyone. 4. What is the main reason for the pollution of the Maple River?​ A. Natural disasters like floods.​ B. Factories dumping waste and residents throwing garbage.​ C. Lack of rain making the river water stagnant.​ D. Overfishing by local fishermen.​ 5. Which of the following is NOT a measure of the "Clean Maple River" program?​ A. Asking factories to use special filters to treat waste.​ B. Holding monthly clean - up events for volunteers.​ C. Banning all factories from operating near the river.​ D. Teaching students about river protection in schools.​ 6. What do local environmental groups think of the "Clean Maple River" program?​ A. They are against it because it will cost too much money.​ B. They doubt whether it can make the river clean again.​ C. They support it and believe it will work with everyone's effort.​ D. They think it is not comprehensive enough to solve the problem.​ 7. What can we infer from the passage?​ A. The Maple River was once clean and suitable for fish to live in.​ B. The "Clean Maple River" program will take only one year to make the river clean.​ C. The city government has done nothing to protect the Maple River before.​ D. Residents will not be allowed to go near the Maple River in the future. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·安徽阜阳·期中） Central Park, a 20 - hectare green space in the heart of Lakeside City, was once a popular spot for residents to relax. However, in recent years, its ecosystem has degraded seriously. The park’s lake was covered with green algae due to chemical runoff from nearby roads, and most of the native plants were replaced by invasive weeds. As a result, the number of birds and butterflies that used to live in the park dropped by half, and fewer people visited it because of the bad smell from the lake.​ To save the park, the city’s environmental department started the “Green Revival” project last spring. The project included three key actions: first, workers installed filters along the road to stop chemical runoff from entering the lake; second, volunteers removed invasive weeds and planted over 500 native trees and flowers, such as oak trees and sunflowers; third, signs were put up to teach visitors how to protect the park’s plants and animals.​ Ms. Laura Chen, who leads the project, said, “We’ve seen great changes in just one year. The algae in the lake have decreased a lot, and more birds are coming back. But we still need people to follow the rules—only with everyone’s care can the park stay healthy.” Now, the number of visitors to Central Park has increased by 30%, and many residents say it feels like a “new park”. 8. What caused the degradation of Central Park’s ecosystem?​ A. A lack of rain for native plants.​ B. Chemical runoff and invasive weeds.​ C. Too many visitors picking flowers.​ D. Earthquakes damaging the lake.​ 9. What does the underlined word “invasive” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?​ A. Native to the area and helpful to local plants.​ B. Spreading quickly and harming local ecosystems.​ C. Easy to grow and loved by birds.​ D. Rare and in need of protection.​ 10. What can we infer from the passage about the “Green Revival” project?​ A. It has completely solved all the park’s problems.​ B. It only relied on the work of professional workers.​ C. It has improved the park’s environment and popularity.​ D. It will end soon because the park is already perfect.​ 11. What is Ms. Laura Chen’s attitude towards the project’s future?​ A. Worried that people will not follow the rules.​ B. Confident that the park will stay healthy without more effort.​ C. Unhappy with the current changes.​ D. Hopeful but emphasizes the need for public care. 主题01 人与社会——旅游与休闲活动 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·浙江·期中） Island of Adventure at Universal Orlando in Florida People say that it is the home of the “Harry Potter Theme Park”.

In the magic milk experiment, kids learn about simple chemical reactions and physical features using only a few materials. Read on to see how to do the experiment. How does the magic milk experiment work? In this experiment, you pour some milk in a shallow dish. You then add drops of food coloring to the surface of the milk. Using a cotton swab (棉签) dipped into dish soap that is put aside, you lightly brush the surface of the milk. The dish soap breaks the surface tension of the milk, and the soap molecules (分子) try to attach to the fat molecules in the milk. This leads to bursts of fun rainbow colors. What does the magic milk experiment teach? This experiment teaches us about the science of molecules and how matter interacts (相互作用). The soap breaks down the fat molecules and makes them move apart, showing us a simple but interesting example of chemistry in action. Materials needed: To do the magic milk experiment, you will need a shallow bowl or plate, milk, blue dish soap, cotton swabs, and food coloring. Be sure to use the more inexpensive food coloring instead of gel (凝胶) coloring, which does not work as well. Magic milk experiment steps: ●Pour milk into a shallow dish or bowl, just enough to cover the bottom. ●Add drops of food coloring all over the surface of the milk. ●Dip the end of a cotton swab into a separate dish of blue soap. ●Lightly brush the top of the milk with the cotton swab, and watch what happens. 1．What brings about bursts of fun rainbow colors in the experiment? A．The cotton swab used to brush the surface of the milk. B．The food coloring that has been left in the shallow dish. C．The physical reactions of the dish soap and food coloring. D．The interaction between molecules of dish soap and milk. 2．Which material does the experiment have special requirement for? A．Milk. B．Dish soap. C．Food coloring. D．The cotton swab. 3．Which of the following is one correct step of the experimental procedure? A．Pour the milk into the container until it is full.

Whenever she tackled long passages in textbooks or test papers, she’d get stuck on complex sentences and unfamiliar words—often spending 15 minutes just to finish a 500-word text. Worse still, she could never grasp the main idea, so she’d make frequent mistakes in reading comprehension questions. This pushed her English test scores to around 65 out of 100, and she felt so frustrated that she even hid her test papers from her parents, worrying they’d be disappointed. “I thought I’d never get better at English reading,” she recalled.​ Last semester, her English teacher, Mr. Liu, noticed her struggle and suggested a “20-Minute Daily Reading Plan” tailored to her level. He advised her to start with easy materials: short stories from Teen Times magazine and simplified English versions of fairy tales, which have simple sentences and common words. The plan required reading for 20 minutes every evening—no more, no less—and taking quick notes: write down 3 new words (with their meanings) and 1 key sentence that summed up the passage. At first, Zhang Hua forgot to read a few times because of homework, but she set a phone reminder and asked her roommate to check on her. Slowly, it became a habit.​ After three months, the changes were clear. She now finishes a 500-word passage in 8 minutes, and she can immediately tell the main idea after reading. Her English test score jumped to 82, and she even joined the school’s English reading club. There, she shares articles she loves and discusses them with classmates—something she never dared to do before. “This plan didn’t take much time, but it taught me that small, consistent efforts work,” Zhang Hua said. “Now I don’t fear English reading anymore; I actually look forward to my 20 minutes every evening.” 7. What was the main problem Zhang Hua had with English?​ A. She couldn’t speak English fluently.​ B. She struggled with English reading and scored low.​ C. She hated her English teacher, Mr. Liu.​ D. She had no time to study English.​ 8. What does the underlined phrase “got stuck on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?​ A. Felt interested in and finished quickly.​ B. Couldn’t move forward or make progress with.​ C. Found easy to understand and remember.​ D. Forgot about after reading for a while.​ 9. What can we infer from Zhang Hua’s experience with the “20-Minute Daily Reading Plan”?​ A. The plan only works for students who are bad at English.​ B. Zhang Hua will get a perfect score in English soon.​ C. Consistent practice is helpful for improving English reading skills.​ D. Mr. Liu’s plan requires reading 2 hours every day.​ 10. What is Zhang Hua’s attitude towards the “20-Minute Daily Reading Plan”?​ A. Grateful, because it helped her improve and build confidence.​ B. Angry, because it took too much of her free time.​ C. Unhappy, because it didn’t change her test score.​ D. Doubtful, because she thinks it’s too simple to work. 主题03 人与自然——自然生态与环境保护 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·陕西榆林·期中） Greenland lost a record amount of ice during an extra warm 2019, with the melt massive (巨大的) enough to cover California in more than 4 feet of water, a new study said. After two years when summer ice melt had been the smallest, the summer of 2019 broke all records with 586 billion tons of ice melting, according to a report. The loss is far more than the yearly average of 259 billion tons of ice since 2003, and it easily breaks the previous record of 511 billion tons in 2012. “Not only is the Greenland ice sheet melting, but it’s melting at a faster and faster pace,” said study lead author Ingo Sasgen, a geoscientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany. The study also showed that there were many years in the 20th century when Greenland actually gained ice. The Greenland melt in 2019 added 0.06 inches to global sea level rise. That sounds like a tiny amount, but “in our world it’s huge — that’s miraculous,” said study coauthor Alex Gardner, a nice scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge. With more water from other melting ice sheets and glaciers (冰川), the ocean expands and that translates into slowly rising sea levels, coastal flooding and other problems. Though general ice-melt records in Greenland go back to 1948, scientists began making more precise records in 2003, using NASA satellites to measure the gravity of the ice sheets. It’s like putting the ice on a scale and weighing it as water flows off, Gardner said. In 2017 and 2018, cooler Arctic air flowed from the open ocean into Greenland, which made the melt less severe. Several other scientists said Sasgen’s study made sense. “The fact that 2019 set an all-time record is very concerning,” one of them said. 1．What happened to Greenland in 2019? A．It gained some ice. B．It lost more ice than any year. C．Its ice loss was first recorded. D．Its ice melted in the smallest amount. 2．What can we know from Alex Gardner’s words? A．Ice melt may result in disasters. B．The globe is getting warmer slowly. C．There was a tiny rise in sea level in 2019. D．In 2003, scientists weighed the ice sheets. 3．What does the underlined word “miraculous” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Encouraging. B．Relaxing. C．Puzzling. D．Astonishing. 4．What’s can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A．The human race has been making accurate ice-melt records. B．The summer ice melt in 2019 made little difference to society. C．The cooler air could block ice melting to some extent. D．The NASA satellites will be used to measure the ice. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·贵州·期中） Greenwood Forest, a lush woodland covering 500 square kilometers in the western part of the country, has long been a vital pillar of the local ecosystem. Beyond providing habitats for over 200 kinds of animals—including the endangered silver fox—and 300 species of plants (some found nowhere else in the world), it also plays a key role in regulating the regional climate. Its dense tree canopy absorbs carbon dioxide, reduces soil erosion, and keeps nearby rivers clear by preventing sediment runoff. However, in the past decade, the forest has been battered by two major threats. Illegal logging, driven by the demand for cheap timber, has destroyed over 120 square kilometers of old - growth trees. Worse still, wildfires—often sparked by abandoned campfires or unextinguished cigarette butts—have swept through the forest five times since 2018, leaving charred remains and further breaking the fragile ecological balance. As a result, the number of wild animals has plummeted by 40%, and three plant species once common in the forest are now on the brink of extinction.​ To reverse this damage, the national government launched a comprehensive protection project last year with a $2 million budget. The project’s core measures include hiring 30 additional forest rangers to patrol remote areas and stop illegal logging, installing 150 fire - monitoring cameras in high - risk zones (linked to a 24/7 control center to quickly respond to fire signs), and partnering with local communities. For instance, villagers in nearby Oak Town now receive training and subsidies to participate in tree - planting activities every spring—replacing the income they once earned from cutting down trees.​ Dr. Emma Clark, a leading ecologist who has studied Greenwood Forest for 15 years, commented in a recent interview, "This project is a crucial step toward healing the forest. Ecosystem recovery isn’t instant—it could take at least a decade for the tree population to return to its 2010 level. But the biggest challenge isn’t funding or technology; it’s getting everyone to care. Protecting the forest isn’t just the government’s job—it’s a responsibility we all share, from villagers to city dwellers." So far, the efforts are paying off: illegal logging incidents have dropped by 60% compared to last year, and over 10,000 young pine and oak trees planted in spring have started to take root. 5.What are the two main threats to Greenwood Forest according to the passage?​ A. Natural disasters and climate change.​ B. Illegal logging and human - caused wildfires.​ C. Lack of water and soil erosion.​ D. Overgrazing and air pollution.​ 6.What does the underlined word "rangers" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?​ A. Scientists who study plants.​ B. Workers who protect the forest.​ C. Farmers who live near the forest.​ D. Drivers who transport wood.​ 7.What can we infer from Dr. Emma Clark’s words?​ A. The protection project will fail without public support.​ B. The forest has already been completely restored.​ C. The government should take all responsibility for protection.​ D. Illegal logging will never happen again.​ 8.How does the passage mainly show the effect of the protection project?​ A. By giving examples of new animal species.​ B. By listing specific data.​ C. By describing people’s feelings.​ D. By comparing with other forests. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河南安阳·期中） The coastal town of Seaville, located on the country’s eastern shore, has long relied on its clean oceans for fishing and tourism—two pillars of its local economy. For decades, families visited its beaches to swim, and fishermen caught abundant fish like cod and salmon. However, over the past 15 years, plastic pollution has turned this once - thriving marine ecosystem into a crisis zone. Each year, an estimated 800 tons of plastic waste—including single - use bottles, food wrappers, and fishing nets—ends up in the nearby Seaville Bay. This waste harms marine life: sea turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish (their main food), and seabirds get tangled in abandoned nets, leading to injury or death. Local fishermen have reported a 35% drop in their catch since 2010, as plastic fragments often get stuck in fish gills, making the fish unmarketable. Tourism has also declined by 25%, with visitors complaining about plastic litter covering the beaches.​ To address this problem, Seaville’s town council launched the “Clean Bay, Healthy Ocean” program in 2022, with support from national environmental groups. The program has three key parts: first, it banned single - use plastic items (such as straws and plastic bags) in local shops and restaurants, replacing them with biodegradable alternatives like paper straws and cloth bags; second, it set up 50 additional recycling bins along the coast and hired 12 part - time workers to collect plastic waste from beaches every weekend; third, it organized monthly “Ocean Guardian” workshops in local schools, where students learn about plastic pollution’s impact and how to reduce their plastic use—last year, over 800 students participated and pledged to use fewer plastic products.​ Maria Lopez, Seaville’s environmental officer, told local media, “We’ve already seen positive changes. In 2023, plastic waste in the bay dropped by 20% compared to 2022, and more families are returning to our beaches. But we can’t stop here—plastic pollution is a long - term problem, and we need continued effort from every resident and visitor.” 8. What are the two main impacts of plastic pollution on Seaville?​ A. Reduced fishing catch and declining tourism.​ B. Increased flooding and higher air pollution.​ C. Fewer job opportunities in education and healthcare.​ D. Rising sea levels and damaged farmland.​ 10. What does the underlined word “biodegradable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?​ A. Hard to break down and long - lasting.​ B. Able to be decomposed by natural processes.​ C. Expensive and difficult to produce.​ D. Harmful to humans and animals.​ 11. What can we infer from Maria Lopez’s words?​ A. The “Clean Bay, Healthy Ocean” program has solved the plastic pollution problem.​ B. The town will stop the program once plastic waste in the bay drops by 50%.​ C. Sustained public participation is necessary to fight plastic pollution.​ D. Only local residents, not visitors, need to contribute to the program.​ 12. What is the main purpose of the passage?​ A. To introduce the history of Seaville’s fishing industry.​ B. To explain how plastic waste harms marine animals.​ C. To describe Seaville’s efforts to address plastic pollution and their results.​ D. To compare Seaville’s environment with that of other coastal towns. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题01 阅读理解 应用文 主题01 人与社会——社会活动与学术交流 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·陕西省西安市新城区·期中） The National Science Bowl The National Science Bowl is an academic contest in the US where thousands of middle and high school students annually showcase their scientific expertise across various topics, from biology to astronomy.

Now, let’s check out a few ways conservationists are protecting these habitats. Seaweed Smackdown Hot ocean temperatures can contribute greatly to seaweed growth, which affects the biodiversity (生物多样化) of the coral reef. That’s not good for a reef. So, in Hawaii, scientists have used an underwater device to suck up lots of seaweed into its long tube. In Australia, scientists are studying a low-tech solution: pulling seaweed by hand. Underwater Nurseries Some polyps (珊瑚虫) are harmed by heat waves and pollution. Scientists cut parts of coral from a healthy reef. Then these polyps are taken to a nursery, which could be in shallow protected areas underwater. After about a year, the healthy coral parts are attached to damaged reefs. The nursery-grown corals can bring new life to a struggling habitat. Sound Saver Healthy reefs are noisy. Fish make different sounds, and thousands of shrimp create and pop bubbles with their claws to create a sound. The biologists play sounds of healthy reefs through underwater speakers. They found that six weeks of broadcasting healthy reef sounds doubled the amount of fish in the area. Algae Partner Most coral species survive by partnering with tiny algae (藻类), which make food for the coral by changing sunlight into sugar. Biologists have discovered that many corals in the Red Sea have a species of algae in their tissue that’s found nowhere else, so they can survive heat waves. Biologists hope their work will inspire governments and environmental groups to protect these corals. 1．Why is overgrowing seaweed bad for a reef? A．It makes the water dirty. B．It blocks sunlight. C．It harms the reef ecosystem. D．It absorbs more heat. 2．What can we know from the passage? A．Underwater nurseries aim to increase the biodiversity B．Protecting coral reefs is only the scientists’ duty. C．The healthy reef sounds mainly come from fish. D．The algae in the Red Sea can coexist with heat. 3．What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To present the serious damages to corals. B．To introduce the methods of coral protection. C．To explain the reasons for protecting habitats. D．To compare the ways of protecting coral reefs. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界各地珊瑚礁处于危险之中，科学家正在采取一些方法保护这些栖息地。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Hot ocean temperatures can contribute greatly to seaweed growth, which affects the biodiversity (生物多样化) of the coral reef. That’s not good for a reef.(炎热的海洋温度可以极大地促进海藻的生长，从而影响珊瑚礁的生物多样性。这对珊瑚礁来说可不是好事)”可知，过度生长的海藻对珊瑚礁有害是因为它破坏珊瑚礁生态系统。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Biologists have discovered that many corals in the Red Sea have a species of algae in their tissue that’s found nowhere else, so they can survive heat waves.(生物学家发现，红海的许多珊瑚组织中都有一种其他地方没有的藻类，所以它们可以在热浪中生存)”可知，红海中的藻类可以与热共存。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“Around the world, coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are in danger. Now, let’s check out a few ways conservationists are protecting these habitats.(世界各地的珊瑚礁都处于危险之中。现在，让我们来看看自然资源保护主义者保护这些栖息地的几种方法)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍保护珊瑚的方法。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·福建福州·期中） The Maple River, once a beloved waterway in Greenfield City, has faced severe pollution problems in recent years. Local residents used to fish in its clear waters and walk along its banks, but now the river is filled with trash, and a bad smell often hangs in the air. For years, factories along the river have been dumping waste into it, and many residents have been throwing garbage into the water. As a result, fish populations have dropped sharply, and the river can no longer support local wildlife.​ To solve this problem, the Greenfield City Government recently launched the "Clean Maple River" program. The program has three main parts: first, it requires factories to install special filters to treat their waste before releasing it into the river; second, it organizes monthly clean - up events where volunteers can come to pick up garbage along the riverbanks; third, it has started an education campaign in local schools to teach students about the importance of protecting rivers and how they can help.​ Local environmental groups have praised the program. They believe that if everyone works together—factories following the rules, residents stopping littering, and students spreading awareness—the Maple River will be clean and healthy again within five years. This not only benefits the local ecosystem but also makes Greenfield City a better place to live for everyone. 4. What is the main reason for the pollution of the Maple River?​ A. Natural disasters like floods.​ B. Factories dumping waste and residents throwing garbage.​ C. Lack of rain making the river water stagnant.​ D. Overfishing by local fishermen.​ 5. Which of the following is NOT a measure of the "Clean Maple River" program?​ A. Asking factories to use special filters to treat waste.​ B. Holding monthly clean - up events for volunteers.​ C. Banning all factories from operating near the river.​ D. Teaching students about river protection in schools.​ 6. What do local environmental groups think of the "Clean Maple River" program?​ A. They are against it because it will cost too much money.​ B. They doubt whether it can make the river clean again.​ C. They support it and believe it will work with everyone's effort.​ D. They think it is not comprehensive enough to solve the problem.​ 7. What can we infer from the passage?​ A. The Maple River was once clean and suitable for fish to live in.​ B. The "Clean Maple River" program will take only one year to make the river clean.​ C. The city government has done nothing to protect the Maple River before.​ D. Residents will not be allowed to go near the Maple River in the future. 【答案】4．B 5．C 6．C 7.

They believe that if everyone works together, the Maple River will be clean and healthy again within five years.”，可知环保组织对该项目是赞扬和支持的态度，并相信在大家的努力下河流会变清洁。故选C。 7. 推理判断题。文章第一段提到 “The Maple River, once a beloved waterway... used to fish in its clear waters” 以及 “Fish populations have dropped sharply”，说明以前河流清澈，适合鱼类生存，该选项合理；B 选项，文中说 “within five years”，而非 “only one year”，与原文不符；C 选项，文中只是说 “recently launched the program”，不能推断出之前政府什么都没做，过于绝对；D 选项，文中未提及未来禁止居民靠近河流，无中生有。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25高二上·安徽阜阳·期中） Central Park, a 20 - hectare green space in the heart of Lakeside City, was once a popular spot for residents to relax. However, in recent years, its ecosystem has degraded seriously. The park’s lake was covered with green algae due to chemical runoff from nearby roads, and most of the native plants were replaced by invasive weeds. As a result, the number of birds and butterflies that used to live in the park dropped by half, and fewer people visited it because of the bad smell from the lake.​ To save the park, the city’s environmental department started the “Green Revival” project last spring. The project included three key actions: first, workers installed filters along the road to stop chemical runoff from entering the lake; second, volunteers removed invasive weeds and planted over 500 native trees and flowers, such as oak trees and sunflowers; third, signs were put up to teach visitors how to protect the park’s plants and animals.​ Ms. Laura Chen, who leads the project, said, “We’ve seen great changes in just one year. The algae in the lake have decreased a lot, and more birds are coming back. But we still need people to follow the rules—only with everyone’s care can the park stay healthy.” Now, the number of visitors to Central Park has increased by 30%, and many residents say it feels like a “new park”. 8. What caused the degradation of Central Park’s ecosystem?​ A. A lack of rain for native plants.​ B. Chemical runoff and invasive weeds.​ C. Too many visitors picking flowers.​ D. Earthquakes damaging the lake.​ 9. What does the underlined word “invasive” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?​ A. Native to the area and helpful to local plants.​ B. Spreading quickly and harming local ecosystems.​ C. Easy to grow and loved by birds.​ D. Rare and in need of protection.​ 10. What can we infer from the passage about the “Green Revival” project?​ A. It has completely solved all the park’s problems.​ B. It only relied on the work of professional workers.​ C. It has improved the park’s environment and popularity.​ D. It will end soon because the park is already perfect.​ 11. What is Ms. Laura Chen’s attitude towards the project’s future?​ A. Worried that people will not follow the rules.​ B. Confident that the park will stay healthy without more effort.​ C. Unhappy with the current changes.​ D. Hopeful but emphasizes the need for public care. 【答案】8．B 9．B 10．C 11.

In the magic milk experiment, kids learn about simple chemical reactions and physical features using only a few materials. Read on to see how to do the experiment. How does the magic milk experiment work? In this experiment, you pour some milk in a shallow dish. You then add drops of food coloring to the surface of the milk. Using a cotton swab (棉签) dipped into dish soap that is put aside, you lightly brush the surface of the milk. The dish soap breaks the surface tension of the milk, and the soap molecules (分子) try to attach to the fat molecules in the milk. This leads to bursts of fun rainbow colors. What does the magic milk experiment teach? This experiment teaches us about the science of molecules and how matter interacts (相互作用). The soap breaks down the fat molecules and makes them move apart, showing us a simple but interesting example of chemistry in action. Materials needed: To do the magic milk experiment, you will need a shallow bowl or plate, milk, blue dish soap, cotton swabs, and food coloring. Be sure to use the more inexpensive food coloring instead of gel (凝胶) coloring, which does not work as well. Magic milk experiment steps: ●Pour milk into a shallow dish or bowl, just enough to cover the bottom. ●Add drops of food coloring all over the surface of the milk. ●Dip the end of a cotton swab into a separate dish of blue soap. ●Lightly brush the top of the milk with the cotton swab, and watch what happens. 1．What brings about bursts of fun rainbow colors in the experiment? A．The cotton swab used to brush the surface of the milk. B．The food coloring that has been left in the shallow dish. C．The physical reactions of the dish soap and food coloring. D．The interaction between molecules of dish soap and milk. 2．Which material does the experiment have special requirement for? A．Milk. B．Dish soap. C．Food coloring. D．The cotton swab. 3．Which of the following is one correct step of the experimental procedure? A．Pour the milk into the container until it is full. B．Run the cotton swab gently over the milk’s surface. C．Add food coloring to the milk to create a mixture. D．Dip one end of a cotton swab into the blue milk. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是一个经典的有趣的神奇牛奶实验。 1．细节理解题。根据How does the magic milk experiment work?部分中的“The dish soap breaks the surface tension of the milk, and the soap molecules (分子) try to attach to the fat molecules in the milk. This leads to bursts of fun rainbow colors.(洗碗皂打破了牛奶的表面张力，肥皂分子试图附着在牛奶中的脂肪分子上。这就产生了五彩缤纷的色彩。)”可知，洗碗皂和牛奶分子之间的相互作用产生了五彩缤纷的色彩。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据Materials needed部分中的“Be sure to use the more inexpensive food coloring instead of gel (凝胶) coloring, which does not work as well.(一定要使用更便宜的食用色素，而不是凝胶色素，凝胶的效果不太好。)”可知，在实验材料方面一定使用更便宜的食用色素。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据Magic milk experiment steps部分中的“Lightly brush the top of the milk with the cotton swab, and watch what happens.(用棉签轻轻地刷一下牛奶的顶部，看看会发生什么。)”可知，在实验过程中，要使用棉签轻轻地刷一下牛奶的表面。故选B项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·上海·期中）Croûte savoyarde 30 MINUTES | SERVES 6 EASY | LC Alpine cheese on toast, basically, and just the thing to warm your cockles after a hard morning cycling up mountains, or falling over in snowdrifts — or alternatively, just a bracing (神清气爽的) autumnal walk.

Whenever she tackled long passages in textbooks or test papers, she’d get stuck on complex sentences and unfamiliar words—often spending 15 minutes just to finish a 500-word text. Worse still, she could never grasp the main idea, so she’d make frequent mistakes in reading comprehension questions. This pushed her English test scores to around 65 out of 100, and she felt so frustrated that she even hid her test papers from her parents, worrying they’d be disappointed. “I thought I’d never get better at English reading,” she recalled.​ Last semester, her English teacher, Mr. Liu, noticed her struggle and suggested a “20-Minute Daily Reading Plan” tailored to her level. He advised her to start with easy materials: short stories from Teen Times magazine and simplified English versions of fairy tales, which have simple sentences and common words. The plan required reading for 20 minutes every evening—no more, no less—and taking quick notes: write down 3 new words (with their meanings) and 1 key sentence that summed up the passage. At first, Zhang Hua forgot to read a few times because of homework, but she set a phone reminder and asked her roommate to check on her. Slowly, it became a habit.​ After three months, the changes were clear. She now finishes a 500-word passage in 8 minutes, and she can immediately tell the main idea after reading. Her English test score jumped to 82, and she even joined the school’s English reading club. There, she shares articles she loves and discusses them with classmates—something she never dared to do before. “This plan didn’t take much time, but it taught me that small, consistent efforts work,” Zhang Hua said. “Now I don’t fear English reading anymore; I actually look forward to my 20 minutes every evening.” 7. What was the main problem Zhang Hua had with English?​ A. She couldn’t speak English fluently.​ B. She struggled with English reading and scored low.​ C. She hated her English teacher, Mr. Liu.​ D. She had no time to study English.​ 8. What does the underlined phrase “got stuck on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?​ A. Felt interested in and finished quickly.​ B. Couldn’t move forward or make progress with.​ C. Found easy to understand and remember.​ D. Forgot about after reading for a while.​ 9. What can we infer from Zhang Hua’s experience with the “20-Minute Daily Reading Plan”?​ A. The plan only works for students who are bad at English.​ B. Zhang Hua will get a perfect score in English soon.​ C. Consistent practice is helpful for improving English reading skills.​ D. Mr. Liu’s plan requires reading 2 hours every day.​ 10. What is Zhang Hua’s attitude towards the “20-Minute Daily Reading Plan”?​ A. Grateful, because it helped her improve and build confidence.​ B. Angry, because it took too much of her free time.​ C. Unhappy, because it didn’t change her test score.​ D. Doubtful, because she thinks it’s too simple to work. 【答案】7．B 8．B 9．C 10.

After two years when summer ice melt had been the smallest, the summer of 2019 broke all records with 586 billion tons of ice melting, according to a report. The loss is far more than the yearly average of 259 billion tons of ice since 2003, and it easily breaks the previous record of 511 billion tons in 2012. “Not only is the Greenland ice sheet melting, but it’s melting at a faster and faster pace,” said study lead author Ingo Sasgen, a geoscientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany. The study also showed that there were many years in the 20th century when Greenland actually gained ice. The Greenland melt in 2019 added 0.06 inches to global sea level rise. That sounds like a tiny amount, but “in our world it’s huge — that’s miraculous,” said study coauthor Alex Gardner, a nice scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge. With more water from other melting ice sheets and glaciers (冰川), the ocean expands and that translates into slowly rising sea levels, coastal flooding and other problems. Though general ice-melt records in Greenland go back to 1948, scientists began making more precise records in 2003, using NASA satellites to measure the gravity of the ice sheets. It’s like putting the ice on a scale and weighing it as water flows off, Gardner said. In 2017 and 2018, cooler Arctic air flowed from the open ocean into Greenland, which made the melt less severe. Several other scientists said Sasgen’s study made sense. “The fact that 2019 set an all-time record is very concerning,” one of them said. 1．What happened to Greenland in 2019? A．It gained some ice. B．It lost more ice than any year. C．Its ice loss was first recorded. D．Its ice melted in the smallest amount. 2．What can we know from Alex Gardner’s words? A．Ice melt may result in disasters. B．The globe is getting warmer slowly. C．There was a tiny rise in sea level in 2019. D．In 2003, scientists weighed the ice sheets. 3．What does the underlined word “miraculous” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Encouraging. B．Relaxing. C．Puzzling. D．Astonishing. 4．What’s can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A．The human race has been making accurate ice-melt records. B．The summer ice melt in 2019 made little difference to society. C．The cooler air could block ice melting to some extent. D．The NASA satellites will be used to measure the ice. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4.C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了格陵兰岛在2019年融化的冰量巨大，创下了纪录，这引发了科学家的担忧。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Greenland lost a record amount of ice during an extra warm 2019, with the melt massive(巨大的) enough to cover California in more than 4 feet of water, a new study said.(一项新的研究表明，格陵兰岛在2019年的超温期间失去了创纪录的冰量，融化的冰量足以让加利福尼亚州覆盖超过4英尺深的水)”可知，2019年格陵兰岛融化的冰量创下了纪录，比以往年份都多。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“in our world it’s huge(在我们的世界里，它是巨大的)”和“With more water from other melting ice sheets and glaciers(冰川), the ocean expands and that translates into slowly rising sea levels, coastal flooding and other problems.(随着来自其他融化的冰盖和冰川的更多水，海洋扩张，这转化为海平面缓慢上升、沿海洪水和其他问题)”可知，Alex Gardner认为格陵兰岛融化的冰量放在整个世界来看是非常巨大的，随着其他地方融化的水汇入海洋，海洋会扩张，导致海平面上升、沿海洪水和其他问题。由此推知，冰融化可能会导致灾难发生。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“in our world it’s huge(在我们的世界里，它是巨大的)”可知，格陵兰岛融化的冰量放在整个世界来看是非常巨大的。由此可知，这是非常惊人的，划线词miraculous意为“不可思议的”，与astonishing(令人十分惊讶的)意思相近。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In 2017 and 2018, cooler Arctic air flowed from the open ocean into Greenland, which made the melt less severe.(2017年和2018年，较冷的北极空气从开阔的海洋流入格陵兰岛，使融化不那么严重)”可推知，较冷的空气在一定程度上有助于阻止冰融化。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·贵州·期中） Greenwood Forest, a lush woodland covering 500 square kilometers in the western part of the country, has long been a vital pillar of the local ecosystem. Beyond providing habitats for over 200 kinds of animals—including the endangered silver fox—and 300 species of plants (some found nowhere else in the world), it also plays a key role in regulating the regional climate. Its dense tree canopy absorbs carbon dioxide, reduces soil erosion, and keeps nearby rivers clear by preventing sediment runoff. However, in the past decade, the forest has been battered by two major threats. Illegal logging, driven by the demand for cheap timber, has destroyed over 120 square kilometers of old - growth trees. Worse still, wildfires—often sparked by abandoned campfires or unextinguished cigarette butts—have swept through the forest five times since 2018, leaving charred remains and further breaking the fragile ecological balance. As a result, the number of wild animals has plummeted by 40%, and three plant species once common in the forest are now on the brink of extinction.​ To reverse this damage, the national government launched a comprehensive protection project last year with a $2 million budget. The project’s core measures include hiring 30 additional forest rangers to patrol remote areas and stop illegal logging, installing 150 fire - monitoring cameras in high - risk zones (linked to a 24/7 control center to quickly respond to fire signs), and partnering with local communities. For instance, villagers in nearby Oak Town now receive training and subsidies to participate in tree - planting activities every spring—replacing the income they once earned from cutting down trees.​ Dr. Emma Clark, a leading ecologist who has studied Greenwood Forest for 15 years, commented in a recent interview, "This project is a crucial step toward healing the forest. Ecosystem recovery isn’t instant—it could take at least a decade for the tree population to return to its 2010 level. But the biggest challenge isn’t funding or technology; it’s getting everyone to care. Protecting the forest isn’t just the government’s job—it’s a responsibility we all share, from villagers to city dwellers." So far, the efforts are paying off: illegal logging incidents have dropped by 60% compared to last year, and over 10,000 young pine and oak trees planted in spring have started to take root. 5.What are the two main threats to Greenwood Forest according to the passage?​ A. Natural disasters and climate change.​ B. Illegal logging and human - caused wildfires.​ C. Lack of water and soil erosion.​ D. Overgrazing and air pollution.​ 6.What does the underlined word "rangers" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?​ A. Scientists who study plants.​ B. Workers who protect the forest.​ C. Farmers who live near the forest.​ D. Drivers who transport wood.​ 7.What can we infer from Dr. Emma Clark’s words?​ A. The protection project will fail without public support.​ B. The forest has already been completely restored.​ C. The government should take all responsibility for protection.​ D. Illegal logging will never happen again.​ 8.How does the passage mainly show the effect of the protection project?​ A. By giving examples of new animal species.​ B. By listing specific data.​ C. By describing people’s feelings.​ D. By comparing with other forests. 【答案】5．B 6．B 7 3．A 8. B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要围绕森林生态保护。 5．细节理解题。文章第一段明确提到 “Illegal logging... has destroyed over 120 square kilometers of old - growth trees” 以及 “wildfires—often sparked by abandoned campfires or unextinguished cigarette butts—have swept through the forest five times since 2018”，指出非法砍伐和人为野火是主要威胁。故选B。 6．词义猜测题。结合上下文，“rangers” 的职责是 “patrol remote areas and stop illegal logging”，即保护森林的工作人员。故选B。 7．推理判断题。Dr. Clark 提到 “the biggest challenge... it’s getting everyone to care” 以及 “protecting the forest isn’t just the government’s job—it’s a responsibility we all share”，可推断出没有公众支持，项目难以成功。故选A。 8．写作手法题。文章最后一句用 “illegal logging incidents have dropped by 60%”“over 10,000 young... trees planted” 等具体数据体现项目效果。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河南安阳·期中） The coastal town of Seaville, located on the country’s eastern shore, has long relied on its clean oceans for fishing and tourism—two pillars of its local economy. For decades, families visited its beaches to swim, and fishermen caught abundant fish like cod and salmon. However, over the past 15 years, plastic pollution has turned this once - thriving marine ecosystem into a crisis zone. Each year, an estimated 800 tons of plastic waste—including single - use bottles, food wrappers, and fishing nets—ends up in the nearby Seaville Bay. This waste harms marine life: sea turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish (their main food), and seabirds get tangled in abandoned nets, leading to injury or death. Local fishermen have reported a 35% drop in their catch since 2010, as plastic fragments often get stuck in fish gills, making the fish unmarketable. Tourism has also declined by 25%, with visitors complaining about plastic litter covering the beaches.​ To address this problem, Seaville’s town council launched the “Clean Bay, Healthy Ocean” program in 2022, with support from national environmental groups. The program has three key parts: first, it banned single - use plastic items (such as straws and plastic bags) in local shops and restaurants, replacing them with biodegradable alternatives like paper straws and cloth bags; second, it set up 50 additional recycling bins along the coast and hired 12 part - time workers to collect plastic waste from beaches every weekend; third, it organized monthly “Ocean Guardian” workshops in local schools, where students learn about plastic pollution’s impact and how to reduce their plastic use—last year, over 800 students participated and pledged to use fewer plastic products.​ Maria Lopez, Seaville’s environmental officer, told local media, “We’ve already seen positive changes. In 2023, plastic waste in the bay dropped by 20% compared to 2022, and more families are returning to our beaches. But we can’t stop here—plastic pollution is a long - term problem, and we need continued effort from every resident and visitor.” 8. What are the two main impacts of plastic pollution on Seaville?​ A. Reduced fishing catch and declining tourism.​ B. Increased flooding and higher air pollution.​ C. Fewer job opportunities in education and healthcare.​ D. Rising sea levels and damaged farmland.​ 10. What does the underlined word “biodegradable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?​ A. Hard to break down and long - lasting.​ B. Able to be decomposed by natural processes.​ C. Expensive and difficult to produce.​ D. Harmful to humans and animals.​ 11. What can we infer from Maria Lopez’s words?​ A. The “Clean Bay, Healthy Ocean” program has solved the plastic pollution problem.​ B. The town will stop the program once plastic waste in the bay drops by 50%.​ C. Sustained public participation is necessary to fight plastic pollution.​ D. Only local residents, not visitors, need to contribute to the program.​ 12. What is the main purpose of the passage?​ A. To introduce the history of Seaville’s fishing industry.​ B. To explain how plastic waste harms marine animals.​ C. To describe Seaville’s efforts to address plastic pollution and their results.​ D. To compare Seaville’s environment with that of other coastal towns. 【答案】9．A 10．B 11．C 12. C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍Seaville 的塑料污染治理努力及成果。 9．细节理解题。文章第一段明确提到 “Local fishermen have reported a 35% drop in their catch since 2010” 以及 “Tourism has also declined by 25%”，指出塑料污染导致捕鱼量减少和旅游业下滑。故选A。 10．词义猜测题。结合上下文，“biodegradable alternatives” 是替代一次性塑料的产品，塑料难以降解，因此替代物应是 “可被自然过程分解的”。故选B。 11．推理判断题。Maria 提到 “we need continued effort from every resident and visitor”，可推断出对抗塑料污染需要公众持续参与；A “已解决问题” 与 “plastic pollution is a long - term problem” 不符，B“减少 50% 就停止项目” 原文未提及，D “仅居民需贡献” 与 “every resident and visitor” 矛盾。故选C。 12．主旨大意题。文章先介绍 Seaville 的塑料污染问题及影响，再阐述 “Clean Bay, Healthy Ocean” 项目的措施，最后说明效果与未来需求，核心是 “描述治理努力与成果”；A “渔业历史”、B “塑料危害海洋动物” 仅为部分内容，D “与其他城镇对比” 未涉及。故选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
