专题04 阅读理解 议论文+新闻报道 主题01 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 (24-25高一上•浙江宁波五校•期中) One of the biggest complaints I hear from people is that their friends just aren’t there for them. More than that, sometimes friends are downright (完全地) rude or even mean. You can’t change people, but you can surround yourself with more positive people. Here are some benefits that spending time with positive friends can provide. With positive friends, you don’t need to beg for help when you need it. Positive individuals want others to be happy, and will go out of their way to help you when you’re feeling down. As About.com’s Guide to Stress states, “Ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, wisdom when you’re lost.” Compare that to toxic friends, who might snipe (抨击) at you or even laugh at you behind your back. Negative people celebrate the downfall of others, and as a result you’ll end up feeling worse about yourself or the situation you’re dealing with. Friends who aren’t positive will add to whatever amount of stress you are feeling. Your positive friends will not only help you recover from negative hits you take in life, but they will also inspire you to be the best you can be. For example, perhaps you always wanted to be a writer. The negative people in your life will probably tell you all the reasons why you won't succeed. But who needs that? Chances are you have already gone over the reasons why you might fail and this is what has prevented you from trying. But with positive people in your life, you’ll feel more comfortable sharing these types of goals because your friends will give you the emotional push you need to go after what you want in life. You naturally attract the kinds of friends who are most like you. So if you’re a downer, you’ll probably find that negative people come to you. The same is true for being positive. The more you are able to maintain a positive attitude, the more like-minded people you’ll attract in return. 1．Your true friends are probably those who___________. A．you can change gradually B．will not turn to you whenever in trouble C．will stay with you when you’re in need D．are always polite and never waste anything 2．The writer mentions the statement of About. com’s Guide to Stress in order to________. A．emphasize the importance of friendships B．point out everyone may meet with difficulties C．compare the differences between success and failure D．explain to us what ideal friendships are in reality 3．By saying “The same is true for being positive”, the writer intends to tell us that “_____”. A．It is true that everyone is positive in life B．If you are positive, you’ll attract positive friends C．The negative people don’t like the positive ones D．The positive people would like to stay with everyone 4．Which of the following is conveyed in this article? A．A friend in need is a friend indeed. B．Friendship is love with understanding. C．Old friends and old wine are the best. D．Positive friends can benefit you a lot. Passage 2 (23-24高一上•浙江台金七校•期中) We often hear about schools cutting back on bus routes to save money, yet plenty of communities have their buses stopping almost as often as the mail truck. While the presence of sidewalks (人行道) and the safety of area roads play a role in who gets house-to-house pickup or end-of-the-street pickup, Peter Mannella, director at the New York Association for Pupil Transportation says community culture can play an even larger role in the transportation situation. For example, several years ago, Bethlehem tried spacing out its stops, says Mannella. The parents were unhappy, expressed as much and, within three days, the routes were back to normal. “You can say’ we are going to save $100,000 by not stopping at every house,’ but parents don’ t want their kids walking,” Mannella says. As you’d expect, this is especially true in bad weather. As a student in the 1980s, we walked to our stops. The neighborhood wait-spot was a good quarter mile away. Parents didn’t make a fuss (大惊小怪), and no child was injured. In fact, the walking was good — it woke us up each morning. Not to mention, the sense of community that came with hanging out together each morning waiting for bus No. 23 to roll up and take us all to school. Thing is, a lot has changed since the 1980s. Too many people are texting and driving, making them as dangerous on the roads as drunken drivers. And, with reduced work forces at many companies, parents often work longer hours, meaning they aren’t around to guard their kids to and from stops like many parents did when we were growing up. So I’ll give them an understanding pass on not wanting their children to walk a mile each way to get to and from school. I can’t agree with the complaints of having kids walk to a community neighborhood stop, though. If you worry they’re going to be cold, get them a hat. If you fear they may miss the bus, send them out the door five minutes earlier. 1．What do we know about Bethlehem’s plan? A．It ended up in failure. B．It lasted for a long time. C．It wasn’t put into practice. D．It saved a lot of money. 2．What can we learn about students in the 1980s from paragraph 3? A．They woke up early in the morning. B．They were driven to school by parents. C．They usually hung out with their neighbors. D．They benefited by walking to a neighborhood stop. 3．Why are today’s parents unwilling to let their children walk to a neighborhood stop? A．Distracted (注意力分散的) drivers cause a danger on the roads. B．The weather conditions are awful in winter. C．Parents place work before family. D．Drunken drivers are dangerous on the roads. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards children walking to bus stops? A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring. C．Supportive. D．Objective. Passage 3 (23-24高一上·浙江A9协作体·期中) The World’s oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic(跨大洋) letters. Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, UK and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started writing to each other aged just 16 in 1938. They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact－and 84 years later they are still contacting. Geoff, a retired engineer, said, “I can’t quite remember how we got in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school’s plan, which matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we just kept contacting ever since. There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war. Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too because I can’t write very well anymore. We just talk about daily lives and our families. She’s always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.” Though having chatted for over 80 years, the pair has only ever met twice－first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York, and then two years later. Geoff is now a great grandfather, having three sons settling across the world and many more grandchildren. “I have this new thing called Zoom I think now to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They’re much better at pressing all the buttons.” 1．What may bring Geoff and Celesta to be pen pals? A．The world war. B．Geoff’s visit to New York. C．An American school’s plan. D．Communication technology. 2．Why did Geoff use email to write letters later? A．He relied on Zoom to chat. B．He was unable to write well. C．He suffered from eye disease. D．He wrote to Celesta’s daughter. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Pen pals are true friends. B．Technology builds friendship. C．Letters were not allowed during the war. D．True friendship survives time and space. 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Oldest Pen Pals in the World. B．A Great Way to Keep in Touch. C．Importance of Being Pen Pals. D．Zoom: A New Technology to Chat. Passage 4 (24-25高一上·浙江9+1联盟·期中) People in a courtroom (法庭) were left astonished after an emotional reunion between a judge and one of her old classmates caught following an alleged burglary (涉嫌盗窃) . Arthur Booth aged 49 was arrested (逮捕) on Monday after being spotted driving a car that looked like the one used in a robbery and failing to stop after a police officer ordered him to pull over. A police chase followed, resulting in two accidents before he crashed the car. He ran away but was finally caught and faced several charges. US judge Mindy Glazer was taking charge of the case. When Arthur Booth was taken into court, the judge looked at him for a moment or two and then asked, “Did you go to Nautilus Middle School? ” “Oh my goodness, ” replied Mr. Booth several times, at first with smiles and then breaking down in tears. He repeatedly cried “Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. ” In the heartbreaking scene, judge Glazer expressed her disappointment at the situation. “I always used to wonder what happened to you, sir, ” she told him. “I'm sorry to see you here. ” Mr Booth covered his head and cried as Glazer told the court, “This was the nicest kid in middle school. ” The judge said, “He was the best kid in middle school. I used to play football with him, all the kids, and look what has happened. ” Glazer said as Mr Booth continued to cry. “What's sad is how old we've become. Good luck to you sir, I hope you are able to come out of this and just lead a lawful life. ” Arthur Booth said, “Mindy has given me great encouragement. I will not give up my life. Now it is a new start for me.” Arthur Booth was a very good student, but in order to satisfy his gambling (赌博) addiction, he always engages himself in some stealing activities. As a result, he has to waste his good time in prison. Now his family hopes that the appearance of their old classmates and his own guilt can awaken his conscience. 1．What was one reason for Arthur Booth’s arrest? A．He was addicted to gambling. B．He got involved in an alleged robbery. C．He was charged by his classmate. D．He ignored police order and crashed the car. 2．Why did Arthur Booth break down in tears? A．He was charged with theft. B．He was fully aware of his guilt. C．He recognized his old classmate. D．He thought of Nautilus Middle School. 3．Which of the following best describes Arthur Booth as a boy in middle school? A．Kind and well-behaved. B．Honest and generous. C．Intelligent and independent. D．Humorous and outgoing. 4．What type of writing is this text? A．A diary. B．A play. C．A news story. D．A fairy tale. 主题02 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·浙江强基联盟·期中) When I picked up The Woks of Life, a cookbook written by the Leung family, I was very excited. Inside there are mom-and-dad approved recipes with stories and photos—even a timeline—of the family’s history. “We call our cookbook culinary genealogy (烹饪家谱). We wanted the book to be our family’s stories told through food, rather than just characteristic recipes,” said Sarah Leung, who co-wrote the book during the pandemic (流行病) with her parents and younger sister. “We grew up in a food-obsessed (着迷的) family. Honestly, I’ve developed a quarter of these recipes myself,” Sarah added. “Over time, we’ll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks.” The cookbook features dishes which might be made in a Chinese American home as well as in Chinese American takeout restaurants. “Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance, but they are different,” Sarah said, adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point. “I hope the recipes will appeal to Chinese Americans, like my family, and also those less familiar with Chinese cooking.” Part of their cookbook has also been posted on their website, attracting millions of faithful followers. The success of the cookbook is that it honors tradition as well as reflects modern interpretations, making it a mixture of the old and the new. It also offers building blocks for home cooks who want to learn to cook Chinese food. I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken, a popular dish and also my favorite. Joyfully, the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be. It really built up my confidence. Surely, as you can imagine, I have also set up my goal to be expert in Chinese cooking. The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking to become the domain of home cooks in the United States. For too long, Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out. 1．Why is the cookbook called culinary genealogy? A．It runs in the family. B．It is written by family members. C．It includes the story of a family. D．It contains mom-and-dad approved recipes. 2．Which of the following best describes the Leung family? A．Easygoing and helpful. B．Faithful and energetic. C．Devoted and considerate. D．Fortunate and thankful. 3．What does the author think of The Woks of Life? A．It is a typical Chinese cookbook. B．Its success lies in honoring tradition. C．It offers building blocks for all cooks. D．It helps improve the author’s cooking skills. 4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Most Americans are used to eating out. B．The cookbook has become a best seller. C．American home cooks prefer Chinese cooking. D．The cookbook benefits the spread of Chinese cooking. Passage 2 (24-25高一上·浙江宁波北仑·期中) The baguette, a long, thin French bread, is being added to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH,非物质文化遗产) list. UNESCO experts gathering in Morocco this week decided that the simple French bread — made only of flour, water, salt, and yeast — was worth U.N. recognition, after France’s culture ministry warned of a “continuous drop” in the number of traditional bakeries (烘焙坊), with some 400 closing every year over the past half century. The UN cultural agency’s chief, Audrey Azoulay said, “The decision honors more than just bread; it recognizes the ‘graceful skills of bakers’ and ‘a daily ritual (仪式)’.” Azoulay added, “It is important that such baking knowledge and social practices can continue to exist in the future.” With the bread’s new status (地位), the French government said it planned to create a baguette day, called the “Open Bake house Day”, to connect the French better with their heritage. Bakers in France seemed proud, if unsurprised. “Of course, it should be on the list because the baguette symbolizes the world. It’s universal,” said Asma Farhat, a baker at Julien’s Bakery. “If there’s no baguette, you can’t have a proper meal. In the morning you can toast it, for lunch it’s a sandwich, and then it accompanies dinner.” Despite the decline in traditional bakery numbers, France’s 67 million people still buy baguettes at a variety of sales points, including in supermarkets. According to France’s “Bread Observatory”, the French eat 320 baguettes of one form or another every second. The problem is, observers say, that they can often be poor in quality. “It’s very easy to get bad baguette in France. It’s the traditional baguette from the traditional bakery that is in danger. It’s about quality not quantity,” said one local resident, Marine Fourchier. 1．Why did UNESCO’s decide to add the French bread to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list? A．Because it has a long history. B．Because it is made of simple materials. C．Because it is in danger of disappearing. D．Because it is made in traditional bakeries. 2．What did Audrey Azoulay think of UNESCO’s decision? A．He felt honored. B．His attitude was unclear. C．He thought it was embarrassing. D．He thought it was meaningful. 3．What can we learn from Asma Farhat’s words? A．Baguettes should be served all the day. B．Baguettes are common in the French diet. C．Baguettes should have been put on the list earlier. D．Baguettes and sandwiches are equally important. 4．What can be a proper title for this article? A．The baguette — a cultural heritage that is of poor quality. B．Protecting the baguette — everyone can make a difference. C．Protecting the baguette — quality is more important than quantity. D．The baguette — a new comer on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. 主题03 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·浙江台金七校·期中） The scene in the stands at Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier was dotted with red banners, adding a glow to the already orangey air spreading the red clay court. There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by defeating Croatia’s Donna Vedic in the women’s singles tennis final. As she lay down on the dirt, eyes skyward and fists extended into the Paris haze, the win’s gravity seemed to register: This was China’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, “I treated the Games differently ---the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.” Born in 2002, Zheng started playing tennis at age seven. At age eight, she moved alone for better coaching. Since adolescence, she has deeply admired Chinese athletes, such as the tennis star Li Na, who joined in the 2008 Beijing Games, and the runner Liu Xiang, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games. “It was really tough,” Zheng said, looking back at those early days. “My mom used to come visit on weekends. When she left, I would hold her leg and cry. After 13, she decided to stay with me full-time to let me have better growth and care. After that, it got easier. And we moved to Europe when I was 17.” In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. “With Iga, I was clear,” Zheng said. “I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.” Zheng is conscious, too, of the effects that her milestone achievement in Paris will have. As we wrapped up our chat, she said softly, “I was reading comments last night and some of them really make me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.” 1．According to the passage, what is TRUE about Qinwen Zheng? A．She won the first Chinese Olympic tennis championship. B．She considered all tennis games to be equally important. C．As a teenager, she wanted to go beyond other Chinese athletes. D．She felt confident to live alone at her early days of training. 2．Which of the following best describe Qinwen Zheng? A．Strong-willed and reflective. B．Gentle and open-minded. C．Weak-willed and ambitious. D．Confident and easy-going. 3．What can we infer from Qinwen Zheng’s words in the last paragraph? A．She takes pride in winning the Olympic gold medal. B．She hopes that her achievement will earn her fame. C．She expects her achievement to inspire more people. D．She feels delighted to read numerous comments on her match. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．An amazing victory. B．An unforgettable match. C．An admirable champion. D．An inspiring experience. 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (23-24高一上·浙江台金七校·期中) Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and supporters. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to call off her solo trip across the ocean, yet the Prime Minister (总理) called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned.  It seems views are poles apart on the ability and independence of young people. Some experts tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals (个体) . Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers differ greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their ages but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and make childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and experienced adult supporters. But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can make a hit as Jessica Watson. Watson calls herself “a common girl who had a dream”. Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such wild dreams? Actually, individuals face different conditions that limit their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (先入为主的) views about young people. Nor should young “common” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses what an individual can do. The teenage years are when most of us “common” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. 1．Why is Jessica Watson mentioned in the first paragraph? A．To set a heroic example for teenagers. B．To point out the public’s interest in young people. C．To introduce different opinions on teenagers’ adventures. D．To show the Prime Minister disagreed with the government. 2．What can determine the amount of teenagers’ independence? A．Different journeys. B．Brain development. C．Communication with adults. D．Confidence in themselves. 3．What does Watson mean by calling herself “a common girl who had a dream”? A．She likes dangerous journeys. B．Teenagers can make success. C．She can accept she is common. D．Teenagers should go travelling. 4．What’s the author’s attitude towards teenagers’ act of travelling alone? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Uncaring. D．Uncertain. Passage 2 (24-25高一上·浙江宁波余姚·期中) If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch a performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. The possibility of time travel is indeed attractive. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best-known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, written by H. G. Wells and published in 1895. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally referred to a vehicle transporting people into the far future. But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme conditions. And Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship, going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship wouldn’t of course be simple. Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time? And would you really like to visit the future? In H. G. Wells’ book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles. If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all. 1．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．The Time Machine is one of the bestselling science fiction novels. B．There are films, comic books and dramas adapted from the novel The Time Machine. C．Works of Literature about time travel first appeared one hundred years ago. D．It was H.G. Wells who invented the term “time machine”. 2．Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories________. A．suggest the possibility of time travel B．have been proved wrong by some time travelers C．have similarities because both are based on experiments D．have pushed the invention of the first spaceship 3．In Paragraph 4, “grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that________. A．the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness B．the grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossible C．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather D．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather 4．According to the passage what is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel? A．Indifferent. B．Supportive. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear. 主题02 人与自然——环境 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·浙江台金七校·期中) Standing on the ruins after the fire where his house had been, Peter Ruprecht recognized that he was not sure how or when to rebuild. He was still shocked by what Australia’s increasingly changeable climate had already delivered: first a drought, then a destructive bush fire, then a foot of rain from a storm. “It’s unstoppable,” said Mr. Ruprecht, a former dairy farmer. “We speak about the warmth of Mother Nature, but nature can also be vicious and wild and unforgiving.” Australia’ s hellish (地狱的) fire season has come to an end, but its people are facing more than a single disaster. With floods destroying homes not far from where fires recently spread, they are facing a cycle of what scientists call “compound extremes”: one climate disaster strengthening the next. Warmer temperatures do more than just dry out the land. They also heat up the atmosphere, which means clouds hold more moisture (水汽) for longer periods of time. So droughts get worse, giving way to fires, then to heavy rains that the land is too dry to take in. Many Australians in disaster areas complain that their government, after paying little attention to climate change for years, has not yet to draw up recovery plans that are clear and that take future risks into consideration. At the same time, the economic costs of a changing climate are rising quickly. Philip Lowe, the governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, warned recently that Australia was already paying a price, and that it would only go up. 1．Peter Ruprecht is mentioned in the beginning to ______. A．to arouse readers’ pity B．to introduce the topic C．to stress the problem D．to call on readers to help 2．Which word can replace the underlined word “vicious” in Paragraph 2? A．Graceful. B．Balanced. C．Responsible. D．Cruel. 3．What is the main cause of “compound extremes” in Australia? A．Government inaction. B．Warmer temperature. C．The shortage of money. D．No recovery plans. 4．Where is the text probably from? A．A guidebook. B．A travel journal. C．A news report. D．A book review. Passage 2 (24-25高一上·浙江六校联盟·期中) A British energy supplier has apologized for the “poorly judged and unhelpful” advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle(依偎) up to their pets and exercise to cut back on their heating bills. SSE,which is owned by OVO Energy, suggested 10 “simple and cost effective ways to keep warm this winter,” according to the Financial Times. Eating bowls of oatmeal, doing star jumps and cuddling pets were among the recommendations on the now-deleted web page. In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday, a spokesperson for OVO Energy said, “Recently a link to a blog containing energy saving tips was sent to customers. We understand how difficult the situation will be for many of our customers this year.” The spokesperson added, “We are working hard to find meaningful solutions as we approach this energy crisis, and we recognize that the content of this blog was poorly judged and unhelpful.We are embarrassed and sincerely apologize.” Some British businesses and households have seen their energy bills rise in recent months, as suppliers deal with a sharp rise in wholesale gas prices. British consumers will pay roughly f790 more to heat and light their homes this year, according to Bank of America. Wholesale European gas prices have jumped by 400% over the previous year and electricity prices have increased by 300%, the bank’s analysts said last week. The increases have been driven by cold weather, nuclear plant outages in France and reduced gas flow from Russia. According to National Energy Action, more than 4 million UK households are facing fuel poverty—a figure which the charity believes could rise by 2 million in April when a cap(上限) on energy prices is expected to increase. OVO Energy removed its advice after a wave of angry responses from lawmakers and campaigners. Following the apology, British lawmaker Darren Jones, who chairs Parliament’s business select committee, tweeted: “Good, I’m glad they apologized. I’m not sure who signed off a marketing campaign telling people to wear a jumper and eat porridge instead of turning on the heating if you can’t afford it.” 1．Why did OVO Energy apologize for its advice on the ways of keeping warm sent to customers? A．The advice is difficult to follow. B．The ways are too simple and costly. C．The suggestions are ineffective solutions. D．The blog was not widely viewed by customers. 2．Which is the result of the energy crisis for British? A．The gas flow from Russia has increased greatly. B．Customers can’t afford the increasing price of coal. C．The British government has found meaningful methods to face it. D．Energy bills rise too sharply in winter for most UK households. 3．What can you know from Darren Jones’ words in the last paragraph? A．He signed off the marketing campaign. B．He is pleased with OVO Energy’s apology. C．He is angry about the advice sent by OVO energy. D．He suggests turning off the heating when people can’t afford it. 4．Where is this passage probably from? A．A website page. B．A science fiction C．A blog D．A newspaper 试卷第14页，共33页 11 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解 议论文+新闻报道 主题01 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 (24-25高一上•浙江宁波五校•期中) One of the biggest complaints I hear from people is that their friends just aren’t there for them. More than that, sometimes friends are downright (完全地) rude or even mean. You can’t change people, but you can surround yourself with more positive people. Here are some benefits that spending time with positive friends can provide. With positive friends, you don’t need to beg for help when you need it. Positive individuals want others to be happy, and will go out of their way to help you when you’re feeling down. As About.com’s Guide to Stress states, “Ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, wisdom when you’re lost.” Compare that to toxic friends, who might snipe (抨击) at you or even laugh at you behind your back. Negative people celebrate the downfall of others, and as a result you’ll end up feeling worse about yourself or the situation you’re dealing with. Friends who aren’t positive will add to whatever amount of stress you are feeling. Your positive friends will not only help you recover from negative hits you take in life, but they will also inspire you to be the best you can be. For example, perhaps you always wanted to be a writer. The negative people in your life will probably tell you all the reasons why you won't succeed. But who needs that? Chances are you have already gone over the reasons why you might fail and this is what has prevented you from trying. But with positive people in your life, you’ll feel more comfortable sharing these types of goals because your friends will give you the emotional push you need to go after what you want in life. You naturally attract the kinds of friends who are most like you. So if you’re a downer, you’ll probably find that negative people come to you. The same is true for being positive. The more you are able to maintain a positive attitude, the more like-minded people you’ll attract in return. 1．Your true friends are probably those who___________. A．you can change gradually B．will not turn to you whenever in trouble C．will stay with you when you’re in need D．are always polite and never waste anything 2．The writer mentions the statement of About. com’s Guide to Stress in order to________. A．emphasize the importance of friendships B．point out everyone may meet with difficulties C．compare the differences between success and failure D．explain to us what ideal friendships are in reality 3．By saying “The same is true for being positive”, the writer intends to tell us that “_____”. A．It is true that everyone is positive in life B．If you are positive, you’ll attract positive friends C．The negative people don’t like the positive ones D．The positive people would like to stay with everyone 4．Which of the following is conveyed in this article? A．A friend in need is a friend indeed. B．Friendship is love with understanding. C．Old friends and old wine are the best. D．Positive friends can benefit you a lot. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。作者分析了积极的朋友和消极的朋友对我们产生的不同影响，表达了积极的朋友会让我们受益很多的观点。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“With positive friends, you don’t need to beg for help when you need it. Positive individuals want others to be happy, and will go out of their way to help you when you’re feeling down.(有了积极的朋友，当你需要帮助的时候，你不需要乞求帮助。积极的人希望别人快乐，他们会在你沮丧的时候帮助你)”可知，真正的朋友是当你需要帮助时，会在你身边给你帮助的那些人。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中About.com’s Guide to Stress所陈述的话“Ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, wisdom when you’re lost.(理想的朋友在你失意时提供支持，在你风光时给你乐趣，在你迷茫时带来智慧)可以推断，作者提到这段话是想要解释现实中理想的友谊到底是什么样的。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中提到的“You naturally attract the kinds of friends who are most like you. So if you’re a downer, you’ll probably find that negative people come to you.(你会很自然地吸引和你最相似的朋友。因此，如果你是一个悲观的人，你可能会发现消极的人来找你)”及“attract the kinds of friends who are most like you”可以推断，“The same is true for being positive”意思为“积极的人也是这样的”，即“如果你是积极的，那么就会吸引积极的朋友和你在一起”。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句提到“Here are some benefits that spending time with positive friends can provide.(下面是和积极向上的朋友在一起的很多好处)”；第二段首句提到“With positive friends, you don't need to beg for help when you need it.(有了积极的朋友，当你需要帮助的时候，你不用乞求，他们就会帮助你)”；第四段首句提到“Your positive friends will not only help you recover from negative hits you take in life, but they will also inspire you to be the best you can be. (积极的朋友不仅会帮助你从生活中的打击中恢复过来，他们还会激励你成为最好的自己)”可知，作者在文章中想表达的是积极的朋友会让你受益良多。故选D。 Passage 2 (23-24高一上•浙江台金七校•期中) We often hear about schools cutting back on bus routes to save money, yet plenty of communities have their buses stopping almost as often as the mail truck. While the presence of sidewalks (人行道) and the safety of area roads play a role in who gets house-to-house pickup or end-of-the-street pickup, Peter Mannella, director at the New York Association for Pupil Transportation says community culture can play an even larger role in the transportation situation. For example, several years ago, Bethlehem tried spacing out its stops, says Mannella. The parents were unhappy, expressed as much and, within three days, the routes were back to normal. “You can say’ we are going to save $100,000 by not stopping at every house,’ but parents don’ t want their kids walking,” Mannella says. As you’d expect, this is especially true in bad weather. As a student in the 1980s, we walked to our stops. The neighborhood wait-spot was a good quarter mile away. Parents didn’t make a fuss (大惊小怪), and no child was injured. In fact, the walking was good — it woke us up each morning. Not to mention, the sense of community that came with hanging out together each morning waiting for bus No. 23 to roll up and take us all to school. Thing is, a lot has changed since the 1980s. Too many people are texting and driving, making them as dangerous on the roads as drunken drivers. And, with reduced work forces at many companies, parents often work longer hours, meaning they aren’t around to guard their kids to and from stops like many parents did when we were growing up. So I’ll give them an understanding pass on not wanting their children to walk a mile each way to get to and from school. I can’t agree with the complaints of having kids walk to a community neighborhood stop, though. If you worry they’re going to be cold, get them a hat. If you fear they may miss the bus, send them out the door five minutes earlier. 1．What do we know about Bethlehem’s plan? A．It ended up in failure. B．It lasted for a long time. C．It wasn’t put into practice. D．It saved a lot of money. 2．What can we learn about students in the 1980s from paragraph 3? A．They woke up early in the morning. B．They were driven to school by parents. C．They usually hung out with their neighbors. D．They benefited by walking to a neighborhood stop. 3．Why are today’s parents unwilling to let their children walk to a neighborhood stop? A．Distracted (注意力分散的) drivers cause a danger on the roads. B．The weather conditions are awful in winter. C．Parents place work before family. D．Drunken drivers are dangerous on the roads. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards children walking to bus stops? A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring. C．Supportive. D．Objective. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了学校减少校车路线的现象，以及社区文化和家长态度对这一决策的影响，并表达了对孩子们步行去公交车站的支持。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“For example, several years ago, Bethlehem tried spacing out its stops, says Mannella. The parents were unhappy, expressed as much and, within three days, the routes were back to normal.(Mannella说，例如，几年前，Bethlehem曾尝试间隔停靠站。父母很不高兴，表达了同样的不满，三天内，路线恢复正常。)”可知，Bethlehem的计划最终以失败告终。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“As a student in the 1980s, we walked to our stops. The neighborhood wait-spot was a good quarter mile away. Parents didn’t make a fuss (大惊小怪), and no child was injured.(作为20世纪80年代的学生，我们步行到站。附近的停车场离这里足足有四分之一英里远。家长们没有大惊小怪，也没有孩子受伤。)”可知，从第三段我们可以了解到80年代的学生受益于步行到附近的一个站点。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“ Too many people are texting and driving, making them as dangerous on the roads as drunken drivers. (太多的人边开车边发短信，这使得他们在路上和酒后驾车一样危险。)”可知，今天的父母不愿意让他们的孩子步行到附近的车站是因为注意力分散的司机会在道路上造成危险。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ I can’t agree with the complaints of having kids walk to a community neighborhood stop, though. If you worry they’re going to be cold, get them a hat. If you fear they may miss the bus, send them bout the door five minutes earlier.(不过，我不同意抱怨让孩子步行到社区车站。如果你担心他们会冷，给他们买顶帽子。如果你担心他们会错过公共汽车，让他们早五分钟出门。)”可知，作者对孩子们步行去公交车站是支持的。故选C项。 Passage 3 (23-24高一上·浙江A9协作体·期中) The World’s oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic(跨大洋) letters. Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, UK and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started writing to each other aged just 16 in 1938. They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact－and 84 years later they are still contacting. Geoff, a retired engineer, said, “I can’t quite remember how we got in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school’s plan, which matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we just kept contacting ever since. There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war. Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too because I can’t write very well anymore. We just talk about daily lives and our families. She’s always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.” Though having chatted for over 80 years, the pair has only ever met twice－first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York, and then two years later. Geoff is now a great grandfather, having three sons settling across the world and many more grandchildren. “I have this new thing called Zoom I think now to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They’re much better at pressing all the buttons.” 1．What may bring Geoff and Celesta to be pen pals? A．The world war. B．Geoff’s visit to New York. C．An American school’s plan. D．Communication technology. 2．Why did Geoff use email to write letters later? A．He relied on Zoom to chat. B．He was unable to write well. C．He suffered from eye disease. D．He wrote to Celesta’s daughter. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Pen pals are true friends. B．Technology builds friendship. C．Letters were not allowed during the war. D．True friendship survives time and space. 4．What can be the best title for the passage? A．Oldest Pen Pals in the World. B．A Great Way to Keep in Touch. C．Importance of Being Pen Pals. D．Zoom: A New Technology to Chat. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述了世界上年龄最大的两位笔友的故事。八十多年前，美国的一个教育项目使英国的杰夫与美国的塞拉斯塔建立了笔友关系。八十多年来，他们一直通过书信、电子邮件或视频软件保持着联系。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact(他们的会面是一个教育项目的一部分，目的是让英国和美国学生接触)” 可知，一个教育项目让英国和美国的学生搭配成笔友进行联络以及文章第三段中“Geoff, a retired engineer, said, “I can’t quite remember how we got in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school’s plan, which matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship( 杰夫是一名退休工程师，他说：我不太记得我们是怎么联系上的，但我最近和塞莱斯塔聊了聊，我想这和一所美国学校的计划有关，该计划让我们和美国人成为笔友。)”也说明了他们成为笔友的原因是一所美国学校的计划。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too because I can’t write very well anymore.(当然，她视力不佳，所以我主要通过电子邮件与住在她附近的一个女儿联系。这些天来，电子邮件对我来说也容易多了，因为我不能写得很好了。)”可知，杰夫后来用电子邮件写信，因为他写不好字。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war. Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too because I can’t write very well anymore.(有几年，因为战争，我们非常努力地保持联系。当然，她视力不佳，所以我主要通过电子邮件与住在她附近的一个女儿联系。这些天来，电子邮件对我来说也容易多了，因为我不能写得很好了。)”可知，杰夫与塞拉斯塔跨越 80 多年的笔友情谊，纵然有战争，纵然有健康原因，他们之间依然保持着联系。由此推断，真正的友谊超越时空。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The World’s oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic(跨大洋) letters. （世界上最老的笔友在经历了84年的跨大西洋书信往来后，双双迎来了100岁生日)”以及全文可知，本文主要讲述了世界上年龄最大的两位笔友的故事。故选A。 Passage 4 (24-25高一上·浙江9+1联盟·期中) People in a courtroom (法庭) were left astonished after an emotional reunion between a judge and one of her old classmates caught following an alleged burglary (涉嫌盗窃) . Arthur Booth aged 49 was arrested (逮捕) on Monday after being spotted driving a car that looked like the one used in a robbery and failing to stop after a police officer ordered him to pull over.

Inside there are mom-and-dad approved recipes with stories and photos—even a timeline—of the family’s history. “We call our cookbook culinary genealogy (烹饪家谱). We wanted the book to be our family’s stories told through food, rather than just characteristic recipes,” said Sarah Leung, who co-wrote the book during the pandemic (流行病) with her parents and younger sister. “We grew up in a food-obsessed (着迷的) family. Honestly, I’ve developed a quarter of these recipes myself,” Sarah added. “Over time, we’ll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks.” The cookbook features dishes which might be made in a Chinese American home as well as in Chinese American takeout restaurants. “Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance, but they are different,” Sarah said, adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point. “I hope the recipes will appeal to Chinese Americans, like my family, and also those less familiar with Chinese cooking.” Part of their cookbook has also been posted on their website, attracting millions of faithful followers. The success of the cookbook is that it honors tradition as well as reflects modern interpretations, making it a mixture of the old and the new. It also offers building blocks for home cooks who want to learn to cook Chinese food. I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken, a popular dish and also my favorite. Joyfully, the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be. It really built up my confidence. Surely, as you can imagine, I have also set up my goal to be expert in Chinese cooking. The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking to become the domain of home cooks in the United States. For too long, Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out. 1．Why is the cookbook called culinary genealogy? A．It runs in the family. B．It is written by family members. C．It includes the story of a family. D．It contains mom-and-dad approved recipes. 2．Which of the following best describes the Leung family? A．Easygoing and helpful.

D．The cookbook benefits the spread of Chinese cooking. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，体现了“人与自我”的主题语境，主要介绍了一本食谱的特色、创作过程中的考量和所取得的成就，表达了该食谱创作者（一个美籍华人家庭）和一些美国人对中餐的热爱。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段前两句““We call our cookbook culinary genealogy (烹饪家谱). We wanted the book to be our family’s stories told through food, rather than just characteristic recipes,” said Sarah Leung, who co-wrote the book during the pandemic (流行病) with her parents and younger sister.(“我们称我们的烹饪书为烹饪家谱(烹饪谱)。我们希望这本书通过食物讲述我们的家庭故事，而不仅仅是特色食谱，”莎拉·梁说，她在疫情期间与父母和妹妹共同撰写了这本书)”可知，the Leung family想要在这本食谱中通过食物讲述家庭故事，因此把这本食谱叫作烹饪家谱，故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中““We grew up in a food-obsessed (着迷的) family. Honestly, I’ve developed a quarter of these recipes myself,” Sarah added. “Over time, we’ll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks.”(“我们生长在一个痴迷美食的家庭。老实说，这些食谱中有四分之一是我自己开发的，”莎拉补充道。“随着时间的推移，我们将实现我们的目标:所有家庭成员都是能干的中国厨师。”)”可知，the Leung family对食物很着迷，并正为实现全员成为中餐大师的目标付出努力，说明他们“devoted”；以及第三段中““Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance, but they are different,” Sarah said, adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point.(萨拉说：“家常菜和餐馆菜同样重要，但它们是不同的。”她补充说，这家人还讨论了如何尊重每一点)”可知，the Leung family想在食谱中体现对中餐方方面面的尊重，说明他们“considerate”，故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中“I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken, a popular dish and also my favorite. Joyfully, the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be. It really built up my confidence.(我从宫保鸡丁开始了我的探索，这是一道很受欢迎的菜，也是我的最爱。令人高兴的是，我做的菜尝起来像它应该有的味道。它真的建立了我的信心)”可知，作者按照这本食谱首先尝试了制作宫保鸡丁，结果做出来的宫保鸡丁和作者之前吃过的味道很像。这增强了作者的信心，故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking to become the domain of home cooks in the United States. For too long, Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out.(这本食谱正在推动中国烹饪成为美国家庭烹饪的领域。长期以来，中国烹饪一直是一种许多人只习惯在外面吃饭的烹饪方式)”可知，这本食谱正推动着中餐成为美国家庭厨师烹饪的一部分；在此之前的很长时间，许多想要享用中餐的美国人只能前往外面的餐馆，故选D项。 Passage 2 (24-25高一上·浙江宁波北仑·期中) The baguette, a long, thin French bread, is being added to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH,非物质文化遗产) list. UNESCO experts gathering in Morocco this week decided that the simple French bread — made only of flour, water, salt, and yeast — was worth U.N. recognition, after France’s culture ministry warned of a “continuous drop” in the number of traditional bakeries (烘焙坊), with some 400 closing every year over the past half century. The UN cultural agency’s chief, Audrey Azoulay said, “The decision honors more than just bread; it recognizes the ‘graceful skills of bakers’ and ‘a daily ritual (仪式)’.” Azoulay added, “It is important that such baking knowledge and social practices can continue to exist in the future.” With the bread’s new status (地位), the French government said it planned to create a baguette day, called the “Open Bake house Day”, to connect the French better with their heritage. Bakers in France seemed proud, if unsurprised. “Of course, it should be on the list because the baguette symbolizes the world. It’s universal,” said Asma Farhat, a baker at Julien’s Bakery. “If there’s no baguette, you can’t have a proper meal. In the morning you can toast it, for lunch it’s a sandwich, and then it accompanies dinner.” Despite the decline in traditional bakery numbers, France’s 67 million people still buy baguettes at a variety of sales points, including in supermarkets. According to France’s “Bread Observatory”, the French eat 320 baguettes of one form or another every second. The problem is, observers say, that they can often be poor in quality. “It’s very easy to get bad baguette in France. It’s the traditional baguette from the traditional bakery that is in danger. It’s about quality not quantity,” said one local resident, Marine Fourchier. 1．Why did UNESCO’s decide to add the French bread to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list? A．Because it has a long history. B．Because it is made of simple materials. C．Because it is in danger of disappearing. D．Because it is made in traditional bakeries. 2．What did Audrey Azoulay think of UNESCO’s decision? A．He felt honored. B．His attitude was unclear. C．He thought it was embarrassing. D．He thought it was meaningful. 3．What can we learn from Asma Farhat’s words? A．Baguettes should be served all the day. B．Baguettes are common in the French diet. C．Baguettes should have been put on the list earlier. D．Baguettes and sandwiches are equally important. 4．What can be a proper title for this article? A．The baguette — a cultural heritage that is of poor quality. B．Protecting the baguette — everyone can make a difference. C．Protecting the baguette — quality is more important than quantity. D．The baguette — a new comer on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了法式长棍面包被联合国教科文组织列入世界非物质文化遗产的名单之中，以避免这一传统面包消失，这一决定对认可这种面包以及保护它的传承有重要意义，同时，法国政府计划设立“开放烘焙坊日”来加强法国人与其文化遗产的联系。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“UNESCO experts gathering in Morocco this week decided that the simple French bread — made only of flour, water, salt, and yeast — was worth U.N. recognition, after France’s culture ministry warned of a “continuous drop” in the number of traditional bakeries (烘焙坊), with some 400 closing every year over the past half century. (本周，联合国教科文组织的专家们齐聚摩洛哥，认为这种简单的法式面包——仅由面粉、水、盐和酵母制成——值得联合国认可。此前，法国文化部警告称，传统面包店的数量正在“持续下降”，在过去的半个世纪里，每年大约有400家面包店倒闭)”可知，联合国教科文组织将法式长棍面包列入世界非物质文化遗产的名单之中是因为它面临消失的危险。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中Audrey Azoulay所说的话“The decision honors more than just bread; it recognizes the ‘graceful skills of bakers’ and ‘a daily ritual (仪式)’. (这一决定不仅仅是对面包的尊重；它是对‘面包师的精湛技艺’和‘日常仪式’的认可)”和“It is important that such baking knowledge and social practices can continue to exist in the future. (重要的是，这些烘焙知识和社会实践能够在未来继续存在)”可知，Audrey Azoulay认为这一决定既能体现对面包本身、面包师的技艺和其仪式感的认可，也能帮助其蕴含的烘焙知识和社会实践传承下去。由此推知，他觉得这是很有意义的。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中Asma Farhat所说的话“If there’s no baguette, you can’t have a proper meal. In the morning you can toast it, for lunch it’s a sandwich, and then it accompanies dinner. (如果没有法式长棍面包，你就不能吃一顿像样的饭。早上你可以把它烤一下，午餐是三明治，晚餐是配菜)”可知，法国人三餐都会吃法式长棍面包，饮食不能少了它。由此推知，法式长棍面包在法国饮食中很常见。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要报道了法式长棍面包被联合国教科文组织列入世界非物质文化遗产的名单之中这一事件，介绍了这一决定的目的是避免这一传统面包消失，且对认可这种面包以及保护它的传承有重要意义，还补充了法国政府计划设立“开放烘焙坊日”来加强法国人与其文化遗产的联系。由此可知，D项“法式长棍面包——联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录的新成员”概括了事件核心内容，适合作为标题。故选D项。 主题03 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·浙江台金七校·期中） The scene in the stands at Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier was dotted with red banners, adding a glow to the already orangey air spreading the red clay court. There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by defeating Croatia’s Donna Vedic in the women’s singles tennis final. As she lay down on the dirt, eyes skyward and fists extended into the Paris haze, the win’s gravity seemed to register: This was China’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, “I treated the Games differently ---the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.” Born in 2002, Zheng started playing tennis at age seven. At age eight, she moved alone for better coaching. Since adolescence, she has deeply admired Chinese athletes, such as the tennis star Li Na, who joined in the 2008 Beijing Games, and the runner Liu Xiang, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games. “It was really tough,” Zheng said, looking back at those early days. “My mom used to come visit on weekends. When she left, I would hold her leg and cry. After 13, she decided to stay with me full-time to let me have better growth and care. After that, it got easier. And we moved to Europe when I was 17.” In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. “With Iga, I was clear,” Zheng said. “I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.” Zheng is conscious, too, of the effects that her milestone achievement in Paris will have. As we wrapped up our chat, she said softly, “I was reading comments last night and some of them really make me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.” 1．According to the passage, what is TRUE about Qinwen Zheng? A．She won the first Chinese Olympic tennis championship. B．She considered all tennis games to be equally important. C．As a teenager, she wanted to go beyond other Chinese athletes. D．She felt confident to live alone at her early days of training. 2．Which of the following best describe Qinwen Zheng? A．Strong-willed and reflective. B．Gentle and open-minded. C．Weak-willed and ambitious. D．Confident and easy-going. 3．What can we infer from Qinwen Zheng’s words in the last paragraph? A．She takes pride in winning the Olympic gold medal.

If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.”(在谈到奥运会时，郑说：“我用不同的方式对待奥运会——情感、战斗和心态。如果你让我再多待三个小时去战斗，我也能做到。”) ”及第六段““I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.”(“我知道我之前为什么输给了她。我打得匆忙，犯了太多的非受迫性错误，想比她打得更快。我想证明我的能力。但在本届奥运会上，我并没有这样想。”) ”可知，郑钦文是一位意志坚强且善于反思的运动员。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As we wrapped up our chat, she said softly, “I was reading comments last night and some of them really make me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.”(当我们结束聊天,她轻声说,“我昨晚阅读评论,他们中的一些人真的让我觉得自豪。如果你看我的网球比赛，它会给你的生活带来一些额外的力量，我会很高兴。”) ”可知，她希望她的成就可以激励更多的人。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by defeating Croatia’s Donna Vedic in the women’s singles tennis final.( 数百名中国人挥舞着旗帜支持21岁的郑钦文，她很快就在女子单打决赛中击败克罗地亚选手唐娜·韦迪奇夺得金牌。)”可知，这篇新闻报道是要介绍一位令人钦佩的奥运女子单打项目冠军郑钦文。故选C项。 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (23-24高一上·浙江台金七校·期中) Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and supporters. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to call off her solo trip across the ocean, yet the Prime Minister (总理) called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned.  It seems views are poles apart on the ability and independence of young people. Some experts tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals (个体) . Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers differ greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their ages but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and make childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and experienced adult supporters. But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can make a hit as Jessica Watson. Watson calls herself “a common girl who had a dream”. Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such wild dreams? Actually, individuals face different conditions that limit their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (先入为主的) views about young people. Nor should young “common” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses what an individual can do. The teenage years are when most of us “common” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. 1．Why is Jessica Watson mentioned in the first paragraph? A．To set a heroic example for teenagers. B．To point out the public’s interest in young people. C．To introduce different opinions on teenagers’ adventures. D．To show the Prime Minister disagreed with the government. 2．What can determine the amount of teenagers’ independence? A．Different journeys. B．Brain development. C．Communication with adults. D．Confidence in themselves. 3．What does Watson mean by calling herself “a common girl who had a dream”? A．She likes dangerous journeys. B．Teenagers can make success. C．She can accept she is common. D．Teenagers should go travelling. 4．What’s the author’s attitude towards teenagers’ act of travelling alone? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Uncaring. D．Uncertain. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了各方对于青少年独自一人环游世界或航行的不同看法。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to call off her solo trip across the ocean, yet the Prime Minister (总理) called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seems views are poles apart on the ability and independence of young people.(例如，杰西卡·沃森被政府要求取消她的航行，但当她回来时，总理称她为“澳大利亚年轻人的英雄”。人们似乎对年轻人的能力和独立性感到困惑)”可知，对于Jessica Watson的冒险行为人们的看法不一致，文章用这个例子为下文人们对年轻人冒险行为的不同看法进行铺垫。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their ages but by discussion with the related, responsible adults.(每个人的独立程度不应该简单地由他们的年龄来决定，而应该通过与相关的、负责任的成年人讨论来决定。)”可知，与成年人的交流可以决定青少年的独立性。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. (她的意图是鼓励青少年，但这个想法可能会产生相反的效果，让他们觉得自己不够好，因为伟大的成就超出了他们的能力范围)”可知，Jessica Watson说自己是一个有梦想的普通女孩的本意是想鼓励其他青少年也可以像她一样取得成功。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (先入为主的)views about young people. Nor should young “common” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses what an individual can do. The teenage years are when most of us “common” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. (不应该用对年轻人先入为主的看法来评判独自环游世界的青少年。年轻的“普通”青少年也不应该感到渴望非凡的个人目标的压力。事实上，我认为单人航海的例子过分强调了个人主义。青少年时期是我们大多数“普通人”知道我们可以与他人合作取得伟大成就的时候)”可知，作者觉得独自一人旅行太过于强调个人主义了。因此作者对此行为持“质疑”的态度。故选A。 Passage 2 (24-25高一上·浙江宁波余姚·期中) If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch a performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. The possibility of time travel is indeed attractive. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best-known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, written by H. G. Wells and published in 1895. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally referred to a vehicle transporting people into the far future. But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme conditions. And Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship, going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship wouldn’t of course be simple. Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time? And would you really like to visit the future? In H. G. Wells’ book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles. If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all. 1．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．The Time Machine is one of the bestselling science fiction novels. B．There are films, comic books and dramas adapted from the novel The Time Machine. C．Works of Literature about time travel first appeared one hundred years ago. D．It was H.G. Wells who invented the term “time machine”. 2．Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories________. A．suggest the possibility of time travel B．have been proved wrong by some time travelers C．have similarities because both are based on experiments D．have pushed the invention of the first spaceship 3．In Paragraph 4, “grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that________. A．the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness B．the grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossible C．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather D．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather 4．According to the passage what is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel? A．Indifferent. B．Supportive. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇议论文。人类一直对时间旅行很感兴趣。从理论上来说，且根据一些科幻书籍以及科学家所说，时间旅行是可以的。但是，从另一个角度而言，时间旅行未必是好事。因此作者认为我们还是生活在现在的好。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally referred to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.(“时光机”这个词是威尔斯创造的，现在被普遍用来指一种把人送到遥远未来的交通工具)”可知，D选项“是H. G. Wells发明了“时间机器”这个术语”正确。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“But could time travel actually be possible?(但是时间旅行实际上是可能的吗？)”，接下来举了爱因斯坦和霍金的例子“Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme conditions. And Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship, going at nearly the speed of light.(爱因斯坦的相对论允许在极端条件下进行时间旅行。斯蒂芬·霍金说，你可以乘坐一艘非常快的宇宙飞船，以接近光速的速度进入未来)”可知，霍金和爱因斯坦的理论表明了时间旅行的可能性。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time?(即使你能穿越到过去，也存在所谓的“祖父悖论”。它问的是，如果一个时间旅行者回到过去，他的祖父因为某种原因被杀，从而阻止了自己的出生，会发生什么。如果时间旅行者没有出生，他怎么能回到过去呢？)”可知，“grandfather paradox”提出的观点就是：祖父死亡导致时间旅行者无法出生。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.(如果这是未来可能发生的事，也许我们最好还是活在当下)”结合第四段提到“祖父悖论”使得时间旅行有可能不能实现；第五段以H.G.威尔斯的书为例，表明即使回到过去也有可能遭遇险境，可推知，作者对时间旅行持怀疑态度，故选C。 主题02 人与自然——环境 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·浙江台金七校·期中) Standing on the ruins after the fire where his house had been, Peter Ruprecht recognized that he was not sure how or when to rebuild. He was still shocked by what Australia’s increasingly changeable climate had already delivered: first a drought, then a destructive bush fire, then a foot of rain from a storm. “It’s unstoppable,” said Mr. Ruprecht, a former dairy farmer. “We speak about the warmth of Mother Nature, but nature can also be vicious and wild and unforgiving.” Australia’ s hellish (地狱的) fire season has come to an end, but its people are facing more than a single disaster. With floods destroying homes not far from where fires recently spread, they are facing a cycle of what scientists call “compound extremes”: one climate disaster strengthening the next. Warmer temperatures do more than just dry out the land. They also heat up the atmosphere, which means clouds hold more moisture (水汽) for longer periods of time. So droughts get worse, giving way to fires, then to heavy rains that the land is too dry to take in. Many Australians in disaster areas complain that their government, after paying little attention to climate change for years, has not yet to draw up recovery plans that are clear and that take future risks into consideration. At the same time, the economic costs of a changing climate are rising quickly. Philip Lowe, the governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, warned recently that Australia was already paying a price, and that it would only go up. 1．Peter Ruprecht is mentioned in the beginning to ______. A．to arouse readers’ pity B．to introduce the topic C．to stress the problem D．to call on readers to help 2．Which word can replace the underlined word “vicious” in Paragraph 2? A．Graceful. B．Balanced. C．Responsible. D．Cruel. 3．What is the main cause of “compound extremes” in Australia? A．Government inaction. B．Warmer temperature. C．The shortage of money. D．No recovery plans. 4．Where is the text probably from? A．A guidebook. B．A travel journal. C．A news report. D．A book review. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚一系列极端气候灾害，包括它的成因，灾害及造成的经济成本等。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Standing on the ruins after the fire where his house had been, Peter Ruprecht recognized that he was not sure how or when to rebuild. He was still shocked by what Australia’s increasingly changeable climate had already delivered: first a drought, then a destructive bush fire, then a foot of rain from a storm. (Peter Ruprecht的房子着火后，他站在废墟上承认，他不知道如何或何时进行重建。澳大利亚日益变化的气候已经造成了这样的后果，他仍然感到震惊：先是干旱，然后是毁灭性的丛林大火，接着是一英尺的暴风雨)”可知，关于Peter Ruprecht站在灾难后的废墟上以及说的话都是为了引出话题：澳大利亚的气候灾难。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“We speak about the warmth of Mother Nature, but nature can also be vicious and wild and unforgiving. (我们谈论的是大自然的温暖，但大自然也可能是vicious、野蛮和无情的)”可知，大自然也可能是残忍、狂野和无情的，vicious意思是“残酷的，野蛮的”。A. Graceful优雅的；B. Balanced平衡的；C. Responsible负责的 ；D. Cruel残忍的。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Warmer temperatures do more than just dry out the land. They also heat up the atmosphere, which means clouds hold more moisture (水汽) for longer periods of time. So droughts get worse, giving way to fires, then to heavy rains that the land is too dry to take in. (气温升高不仅仅使土地干涸。它们还会加热大气，这意味着云在更长的时间内保持更多的水分。因此，干旱变得更加严重，引发火灾，然后是土地太干燥而无法吸收的大雨。)”可知，是温度升高导致了复合极端情况。故选B。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Standing on the ruins after the fire where his house had been, Peter Ruprecht recognized that he was not sure how or when to rebuild. He was still shocked by what Australia’s increasingly changeable climate had already delivered: first a drought, then a destructive bush fire, then a foot of rain from a storm. (Peter Ruprecht的房子着火后，他站在废墟上承认，他不知道如何或何时进行重建。澳大利亚日益变化的气候已经造成了这样的后果，他仍然感到震惊：先是干旱，然后是毁灭性的丛林大火，接着是一英尺的暴风雨)”和第三段“Australia’ s hellish (地狱的) fire season has come to an end, but its people are facing more than a single disaster. With floods destroying homes not far from where fires recently spread, they are facing a cycle of what scientists call “compound extremes”: one climate disaster strengthening the next. (澳大利亚地狱般的火灾季节已经结束，但其人民面临的不仅仅是一场灾难。洪水摧毁了离最近大火蔓延的地方不远的房屋，他们正面临着科学家所谓的“复合极端情况”循环：一场气候灾难加剧了另一场气候灾难。)”可知，全文描述了澳大利亚的极端气候灾难，它的成因，危害以及造成的经济成本等，属于实时报道。所以，该文章应出自一篇新闻报道。故选C。 Passage 2 (24-25高一上·浙江六校联盟·期中) A British energy supplier has apologized for the “poorly judged and unhelpful” advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle(依偎) up to their pets and exercise to cut back on their heating bills. SSE,which is owned by OVO Energy, suggested 10 “simple and cost effective ways to keep warm this winter,” according to the Financial Times. Eating bowls of oatmeal, doing star jumps and cuddling pets were among the recommendations on the now-deleted web page. In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday, a spokesperson for OVO Energy said, “Recently a link to a blog containing energy saving tips was sent to customers. We understand how difficult the situation will be for many of our customers this year.” The spokesperson added, “We are working hard to find meaningful solutions as we approach this energy crisis, and we recognize that the content of this blog was poorly judged and unhelpful.We are embarrassed and sincerely apologize.” Some British businesses and households have seen their energy bills rise in recent months, as suppliers deal with a sharp rise in wholesale gas prices. British consumers will pay roughly f790 more to heat and light their homes this year, according to Bank of America. Wholesale European gas prices have jumped by 400% over the previous year and electricity prices have increased by 300%, the bank’s analysts said last week. The increases have been driven by cold weather, nuclear plant outages in France and reduced gas flow from Russia. According to National Energy Action, more than 4 million UK households are facing fuel poverty—a figure which the charity believes could rise by 2 million in April when a cap(上限) on energy prices is expected to increase. OVO Energy removed its advice after a wave of angry responses from lawmakers and campaigners. Following the apology, British lawmaker Darren Jones, who chairs Parliament’s business select committee, tweeted: “Good, I’m glad they apologized. I’m not sure who signed off a marketing campaign telling people to wear a jumper and eat porridge instead of turning on the heating if you can’t afford it.” 1．Why did OVO Energy apologize for its advice on the ways of keeping warm sent to customers? A．The advice is difficult to follow. B．The ways are too simple and costly. C．The suggestions are ineffective solutions. D．The blog was not widely viewed by customers. 2．Which is the result of the energy crisis for British? A．The gas flow from Russia has increased greatly. B．Customers can’t afford the increasing price of coal. C．The British government has found meaningful methods to face it. D．Energy bills rise too sharply in winter for most UK households. 3．What can you know from Darren Jones’ words in the last paragraph? A．He signed off the marketing campaign. B．He is pleased with OVO Energy’s apology. C．He is angry about the advice sent by OVO energy. D．He suggests turning off the heating when people can’t afford it. 4．Where is this passage probably from? A．A website page. B．A science fiction C．A blog D．A newspaper 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了一家英国供热企业为其发给客户的“不当又无用的”建议而道歉，这些建议包括让客户抱着宠物取暖或做运动来减少暖气开支。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“A British energy supplier has apologized for the “poorly judged and unhelpful” advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle(依偎) up to their pets and exercise to cut back on their heating bills. (一家英国供热企业为其向客户发出的“不当又无用的”建议道歉，建议包括让消费者宠物取暖或做运动来减少暖气开支)”可知，该能源供应商道歉的原因是因为该建议是不当又无用的，C选项中的“ineffective”呼应文中的“poorly judged and unhelpful”。故答案为C。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“According to National Energy Action, more than 4 million UK households are facing fuel poverty—a figure which the charity believes could rise by 2 million in April when a cap(上限) on energy prices is expected to increase. (根据国家能源行动，超过400万英国家庭正面临燃料贫困——该慈善机构认为，当能源价格上限预计将提高时，这预计到四月份燃料贫困家庭还会再增加200万户)”可知，英国的能源危机导致冬季能源账单大幅上涨，很多英国家庭面临燃料贫困，所以D选项“对于大多数英国家庭来说，冬季能源账单上涨过快”贴合题意。故答案为D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段Darren Jones说的话“Good, I’m glad they apologized. I’m not sure who signed off a marketing campaign telling people to wear a jumper and eat porridge instead of turning on the heating if you can’t afford it. (很好，我很高兴他们道歉了。我不知道是谁批准了这个营销方案，让人们穿毛衣喝粥而不是打开你没钱支付的暖气)”可推测出，Darren Jones对本次道歉很高兴，所以选项B符合题意。故答案为B。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“A British energy supplier has apologized for the “poorly judged and unhelpful” advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle(依偎) up to their pets and exercise to cut back on their heating bills. (一家英国供热企业为其向客户发出的“不当又无用的”建议道歉，建议包括让消费者宠物取暖或做运动来减少暖气开支)”可知这是一篇新闻报道，所以文章最可能来自于报纸。故答案为D。 试卷第14页，共33页 15 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
