史地人文类 　 Passage 1 (2025·全国一卷) While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years，transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility，especially among young children.Many parents say there's too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school，so they pack them into the car instead. Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these.In their new book Movement：How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives，they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives. Life on city streets started to change decades ago.Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere.Some communities fought back.Most famously，a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park.Describing her alarm at its proposed replac­ement with an expressway，Jane Jacobs called on her mayor(市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live，and not just rush through”. Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well. Although these campaigns were widespread，the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car.The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly.In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty­six million people，among the highest rate of car ownership in the world. We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through，but we fail to account for the true costs.Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right：it's time to think differently about that street outside your front door. 1.What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A.Cars often get stuck on the road. B.Traffic accidents occur frequently. C.People walk less and drive more. D.Pedestrians fail to follow the rules. 2.What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do? A.Keep their cities livable. B.Promote cultural diversity. C.Help the needy families. D.Make expressways accessible. 3.What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s? A.They boosted the sales of cars. B.They turned out largely ineffective. C.They won government support. D.They advocated building new parks. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Why the Rush? B.What's Next? C.Where to Stay? D.Who to Blame? Passage 2 (2025·全国二卷) English Market Towns to Visit in the UK English market towns come in many shapes and sizes.Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries.But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford，Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189.Skirting the town square，you'll find lovely shops，eateries，and the Black and White House Museum.The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town.It's also home to an ancient library.One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow，Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England.Butcher shops，greengrocers，bakeries，and cheese shops line the town square.Bordering the square，the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold.The three­day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury，Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety.The River Severn has a significant turn through town，almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center.The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway.Flowers are everywhere—hanging baskets，window boxes，and planters—just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey，Cornwall Even if you haven't been to the small fishing village Mevagissey，you've probably seen it in a movie or British TV show.The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774.Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor­side markets.Don't leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie.It's delicious. 1.Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta? A.In the Ludlow Castle. B.In the Foodie Center of England. C.In the Hereford Cathedral. D.In the Black and White House Museum. 2.What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center? A.It's situated near a big island. B.It's almost surrounded by water. C.It's known for its flower festival. D.It's easily accessible from London. 3.What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey? A.Try the Cornish pie. B.Watch a British TV show. C.Go fishing in the sea. D.Take pictures of the harbor. Passage 3 (2024·全国甲卷) “I didn't like the ending，”I said to my favorite college professor.It was my junior year of undergraduate，and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature.I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot，and I was heartbroken with the ending.Prof.Gracie，with all his patience，asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not.He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters，endings that satisfied the story even if they didn't have a traditionally positive outcome.Of course，I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver，but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an aha moment for me，and I never thought about endings the same way again.From then on，if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy，I'd pick up a love romance.If I wanted an ending I couldn't guess，I'd pick up a mystery(悬疑小说).One where I kind of knew what was going to happen，historical fiction.Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end — that's hard.It's hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers.You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable，but doesn't seem to come from nowhere，one that fits what's right for the characters. That's why this issue(期)of Writer's Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you're doing.If it's short stories，Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing.Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won't tell you what your ending should be—that's up to you and the story you're telling—but it might provide what you need to get there. 1.Why did the author go to Prof.Gracie? A.To discuss a novel. B.To submit a book report. C.To argue for a writer. D.To ask for a reading list. 2.What did the author realize after seeing Prof.Gracie? A.Writing is a matter of personal preferences. B.Readers are often carried away by characters. C.Each type of literature has its unique ending. D.A story which begins well will end well. 3.What is expected of a good ending? A.It satisfies readers' taste. B.It fits with the story development. C.It is usually positive. D.It is open for imagination. 4.Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims? A.To give examples of great novelists. B.To stress the theme of this issue. C.To encourage writing for the magazine. D.To recommend their new books. Passage 4 (2023·新课标Ⅱ卷) Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books，” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses —absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate_to. Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st­century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery­powered e­reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off­line” activity. 1.Where is the text most probably taken from? A.An introduction to a book. B.An essay on the art of writing. C.A guidebook to a museum. D.A review of modern paintings. 2.What are the selected artworks about? A.Wealth and intellect. B.Home and school. C.Books and reading. D.Work and leisure. 3.What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Understand. B.Paint. C.Seize. D.Transform. 4.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e­reader? A.The printed book is not totally out of date. B.Technology has changed the way we read. C.Our lives in the 21st century are networked. D.People now rarely have the patience to read. Passage 5 (2023·全国乙卷) What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less­than­impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat­and­two­veg and ready­made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 1.What do people usually think of British food? A.It is simple and plain. B.It is rich in nutrition. C.It lacks authentic tastes. D.It deserves a high reputation. 2.Which best describes cookery programme on British TV? A.Authoritative. B.Creative. C.Profitable. D.Influential. 3.Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now? A.20%. B.24%. C.25%. D.33%. 4.What might the author continue talking about? A.The art of cooking in other countries. B.Male chefs on TV programmes. C.Table manners in the UK. D.Studies of big eaters. Passage 6 (2023·全国甲卷) I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World.It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book.It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学). That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college.Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them. Eric Weiner's The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy.It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy. Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better.The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche.This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life. He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor.Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation. The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging.The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book.I encourage you to take his offer.It's worth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of. 1.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author? A.Foucault. B.Eric Weiner. C.Jostein Gaarder. D.A college teacher. 2.Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4? A.To compare Weiner with them. B.To give examples of great works. C.To praise their writing skills. D.To help readers understand Weiner's book. 3.What does the author like about The Socrates Express? A.Its views on history are well­presented. B.Its ideas can be applied to daily life. C.It includes comments from readers. D.It leaves an open ending. 4.What does the author think of Weiner's book? A.Objective and plain. B.Daring and ambitious. C.Serious and hard to follow. D.Humorous and straightforward. Passage 7 (2022·全国甲卷) Sometime in the early 1960s，a significant thing happened in Sydney，Australia.The city discovered its harbor.Then，one after another，Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there—broad parks，superb beaches，and a culturally diverse population.But it is the harbor that makes the city. Andrew Reynolds，a cheerful fellow in his early 30s，pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living.I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor.After our third run Andrew shut down the engine，and we went our separate ways—he for a lunch break，I to explore the city. “I'll miss these old boats，”he said as we parted. “How do you mean？”I asked. “Oh，they're replacing them with catamarans.Catamarans are faster，but they're not so elegant，and they're not fun to pilot.But that's progress，I guess.” Everywhere in Sydney these days，change and progress are the watchwords(口号)，and traditions are increasingly rare.Shirley Fitzgerald，the city's official historian，told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s，Sydney swept aside much of its past，including many of its finest buildings.“Sydney is confused about itself，”she said.“We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one.It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving(解决).” On the other hand，being young and old at the same time has its attractions.I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony.“Many people say that we lack culture in this country，”he told me.“What people forget is that the Italians，when they came to Australia，brought 2，000 years of their culture，the Greeks some 3，000 years，and the Chinese more still.We've got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country.It's a pretty hard combination to beat.” He is right，but I can't help wishing they would keep those old ferries. 1.What is the first paragraph mainly about? A.Sydney's striking architecture. B.The cultural diversity of Sydney. C.The key to Sydney's development. D.Sydney's tourist attractions in the 1960s. 2.What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds? A.He goes to work by boat. B.He looks forward to a new life. C.He pilots catamarans well. D.He is attached to the old ferries. 3.What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney? A.It is losing its traditions. B.It should speed up its progress. C.It should expand its population. D.It is becoming more international. 4.Which statement will the author probably agree with? A.A city can be young and old at the same time. B.A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic. C.Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance. D.Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.
