A love for candy is a big part of Swedish (瑞典的) culture. In early January, a New York girl named Mary Graves posted a short video on TikTok.
In the video, Graves talked about her weekly visit to BonBon, a Swedish sweet shop in New York. Whenever she went to the shop, she would pick a mix of colorful sweets from its walls of candy. In just a few days, Graves’ post had more than a million viewers. Lots of people waited in long lines outside BonBon, waiting to buy Swedish sweets.
The Swedish candy culture is nothing new. According to a study, Sweden eats more candy than anywhere else in the world. In the 1940s, the Swedish government (政府) found out the dangers of eating too much sugar. It told Swedes to eat candy only one day a week, so people chose Saturday and the tradition of “Saturday sweets” started. Since the 1950s, the tradition has seen many families eat a kilogram of sweets every Saturday evening.
Sweden’s love for candy might be because they don’t get much sunlight, according to an article in The New Yorker. The northernmost (最北的) town in Sweden experiences polar (极地的) nights from Dec. 11 to Jan. 1. That’s 22 days without the sun. Since sweetness brings a feeling of joy, it might just be a reason why Swedes can’t stop eating sweets. For Swedes, “Saturday sweets” is more than a sugar rush. It’s also a symbol of culture and joy, wrote Euro Weekly News.

There is a special “line” in China —the Qinling-Huaihe Line. It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huai River in the east. It divides (划分) China into two parts: the northern part, known as northern China, and the southern part, known as southern China. There are great differences in weather between the two parts. Let’s have a look!
In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its cold, humid weather in winter. In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January. Temperatures (温度) in some provinces can drop to as low as -30℃, while the southernmost cities enjoy temperatures of around 20℃—even in January. Many northern Chinese like spending winter holidays in the southern cities, mostly around Sanya.
During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time. The ground freezes (冰冻). Some places are covered in snow. It’s like a fairy tale (童话) world from movies. People often build snowmen and play in the snow to enjoy the happiness of winter. But in southern China, temperature seldom falls below 0℃. Snow seldom falls, and the rivers do not freeze.
Heating (供暖) is important for northern Chinese. People often wear hats, scarfs, down jackets (羽绒服) and gloves outside. But when they return home, they only need a T-shirt. In southern China, however, people don’t enjoy heating. They often use air conditioners (空调) or electric heaters (电暖气) to keep themselves warm during winter.

A.runs from the south to the north B.is between northern and southern China
C.got its name in 1980 D.divides China into five parts

【导语】本文讲述了中国的秦岭—淮河线将中国分为北方和南方,以及南北方冬季天气等方面的差异。
16.细节理解题。根据“It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huai River in the east. It divides China into two parts: the northern part, known as northern China, and the southern part, known as southern China.”,可知,秦岭—淮河线是从西边的秦岭到东边的淮河,它将中国分为南北两部分,故选B。
17.细节理解题。根据“In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January.”,可知,在中国北方,最冷的月份通常是1月,故选D。
18.细节理解题。根据“During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time. The ground freezes. Some places are covered in snow.”,可知,冬季北方省份天气寒冷,地面结冰,有些地方被雪覆盖,所以第三段主要讲述的是北方冬季下雪的特点,故选B。
19.细节理解题。文中句子“Heating (供暖) is important for northern Chinese. People often wear hats, scarfs, down jackets (羽绒服) and gloves outside.”表明北方人冬天外出常戴帽子、“scarfs”、羽绒服和手套,这些都是冬季保暖穿戴物品。结合生活常识和图片,选项C“围巾”是冬季保暖配饰,符合文中语境,故选C。
20.主旨大意题。根据“There are great differences in weather between the two parts. Let’s have a look!”以及后续对北方和南方冬季气候的具体描述,可知,本文主要讲述的是中国北方和南方的冬季气候差异,故选A。
C
A study found that most species (物种) of birds in the USA have shrunk (缩小) in size in the past 38 years. Scientists say this is because of climate change.
This shrinking in size follows Bergmann’s Rule (伯格曼法则). The rule says that animals in cooler areas are usually large, because larger animals are able to keep warmer. As global (全球的) warming influences (影响) the Earth, animals now have to make changes to face rising temperatures. Some of them shrink in size.
Scientists studied over 70,000 species of birds. They found that some birds in North America were shrinking in size. Studies on other animals also show the same. What does this mean to these species? First, global warming is happening faster than ever before. So animals may not be able to change fast enough. Besides, when a species shrinks, other things will get influenced. When an animal’s body shrinks, it may not be able to give birth to as many young as before, this may influence the size of the species’ population (总量).
Maybe scientists haven’t understood how changes in size may influence the ability (能力) of animals to survive (生存). This shows the bigger problem with climate change: we aren’t always able to predict what will happen when the Earth’s temperature keeps rising. And that is the real danger.
21.What happened to some birds in the USA according to the study?
A.They moved to cooler areas. B.They became smaller in size.
C.They died or climate change. D.They didn’t have enough food.
22.Why are animals in cold areas larger?
A.Because larger animals are able to keep warmer.
B.Because animals in cold areas can eat more food.
C.Because larger animals love living in cold areas.
D.Because animals in cold areas can grow faster.
23.What may happen if the body of a species gets smaller?
A.The species may move to cold areas. B.The Earth may become warmer quickly.
C.The species’ population may be smaller. D.The species may lose their ability to survive.
24.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A.Animals now have to make changes to face global warming.
B.Some other animals were shrinking in size, too.
C.When a species shrinks, it may not be able to give birth to the young.
D.The shrinking in size follows Bergmann’s Rule.
25.What’s the “real danger” according to the last paragraph?
A.Many species cannot live on the Earth any longer. B.We cannot always predict what will happen.
C.There will be fewer species on the Earth. D.Global warming is happening faster than ever before.
【答案】21.B 22.A 23.C 24.C 25.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一项研究结果显示一些物种的体型正在变小,而造成这种变化的根本原因是气候变暖。
21.细节理解题。根据文中“A study found that most species (物种) of birds in the USA have shrunk (缩小) in size in the past 38 years.”可知,美国的一些鸟类的体型变小了。故选B。
22.细节理解题。根据文中“The rule says that animals in cooler areas are usually large, because larger animals are able to keep warmer.”可知,寒冷地区的动物比温暖地区的大是因为体型较大的动物能够保暖。故选A。
23.细节理解题。根据文中“When an animal’s body shrinks, it may not be able to give birth to as many young as before, this may influence the size of the species’ population (总量).”可知,如果一个物种的身体变小,那么该物种的数量可能更少。故选C。
24.细节理解题。根据“When an animal’s body shrinks, it may not be able to give birth to as many young as before, this may influence the size of the species’ population (总量).”可知,当动物的身体收缩时,它可能无法像以前那样生育那么多的幼崽,这可能会影响该物种的种群规模,而不是可能无法生育后代。故选C。
25.细节理解题。根据文中“This shows the bigger problem with climate change: we aren’t always able to predict what will happen when the Earth’s temperature keeps rising. And that is the real danger.”可知,“真正的危险”是人类不能总是预测当地球的温度持续升高时会发生什么。故选B。

A love for candy is a big part of Swedish (瑞典的) culture. In early January, a New York girl named Mary Graves posted a short video on TikTok.
In the video, Graves talked about her weekly visit to BonBon, a Swedish sweet shop in New York. Whenever she went to the shop, she would pick a mix of colorful sweets from its walls of candy. In just a few days, Graves’ post had more than a million viewers. Lots of people waited in long lines outside BonBon, waiting to buy Swedish sweets.
The Swedish candy culture is nothing new. According to a study, Sweden eats more candy than anywhere else in the world. In the 1940s, the Swedish government (政府) found out the dangers of eating too much sugar. It told Swedes to eat candy only one day a week, so people chose Saturday and the tradition of “Saturday sweets” started. Since the 1950s, the tradition has seen many families eat a kilogram of sweets every Saturday evening.
Sweden’s love for candy might be because they don’t get much sunlight, according to an article in The New Yorker. The northernmost (最北的) town in Sweden experiences polar (极地的) nights from Dec. 11 to Jan. 1. That’s 22 days without the sun. Since sweetness brings a feeling of joy, it might just be a reason why Swedes can’t stop eating sweets. For Swedes, “Saturday sweets” is more than a sugar rush. It’s also a symbol of culture and joy, wrote Euro Weekly News.

There is a special “line” in China —the Qinling-Huaihe Line. It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huai River in the east. It divides (划分) China into two parts: the northern part, known as northern China, and the southern part, known as southern China. There are great differences in weather between the two parts. Let’s have a look!
In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its cold, humid weather in winter. In northern China, the coldest month often comes in January. Temperatures (温度) in some provinces can drop to as low as -30℃, while the southernmost cities enjoy temperatures of around 20℃—even in January. Many northern Chinese like spending winter holidays in the southern cities, mostly around Sanya.
During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time. The ground freezes (冰冻). Some places are covered in snow. It’s like a fairy tale (童话) world from movies. People often build snowmen and play in the snow to enjoy the happiness of winter. But in southern China, temperature seldom falls below 0℃. Snow seldom falls, and the rivers do not freeze.
Heating (供暖) is important for northern Chinese. People often wear hats, scarfs, down jackets (羽绒服) and gloves outside. But when they return home, they only need a T-shirt. In southern China, however, people don’t enjoy heating. They often use air conditioners (空调) or electric heaters (电暖气) to keep themselves warm during winter.
16.Qinling-Huaihe Line ________.

A study found that most species (物种) of birds in the USA have shrunk (缩小) in size in the past 38 years. Scientists say this is because of climate change.
This shrinking in size follows Bergmann’s Rule (伯格曼法则). The rule says that animals in cooler areas are usually large, because larger animals are able to keep warmer. As global (全球的) warming influences (影响) the Earth, animals now have to make changes to face rising temperatures. Some of them shrink in size.
Scientists studied over 70,000 species of birds. They found that some birds in North America were shrinking in size. Studies on other animals also show the same. What does this mean to these species? First, global warming is happening faster than ever before. So animals may not be able to change fast enough. Besides, when a species shrinks, other things will get influenced. When an animal’s body shrinks, it may not be able to give birth to as many young as before, this may influence the size of the species’ population (总量).
Maybe scientists haven’t understood how changes in size may influence the ability (能力) of animals to survive (生存). This shows the bigger problem with climate change: we aren’t always able to predict what will happen when the Earth’s temperature keeps rising. And that is the real danger.
21.What happened to some birds in the USA according to the study?
A.They moved to cooler areas. B.They became smaller in size.
C.They died or climate change. D.They didn’t have enough food.
22.Why are animals in cold areas larger?
A.Because larger animals are able to keep warmer.
B.Because animals in cold areas can eat more food.
C.Because larger animals love living in cold areas.
D.Because animals in cold areas can grow faster.
23.What may happen if the body of a species gets smaller?
A.The species may move to cold areas. B.The Earth may become warmer quickly.
C.The species’ population may be smaller. D.The species may lose their ability to survive.
24.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A.Animals now have to make changes to face global warming.
B.Some other animals were shrinking in size, too.
C.When a species shrinks, it may not be able to give birth to the young.
D.The shrinking in size follows Bergmann’s Rule.
25.What’s the “real danger” according to the last paragraph?
A.Many species cannot live on the Earth any longer. B.We cannot always predict what will happen.
C.There will be fewer species on the Earth. D.Global warming is happening faster than ever before.
