Passage 1
(24-25高一上·福建莆田一中·期末)
Zion National Park
Few outsiders visited the region until a national land survey in 1908 first made the area known to the general public. The natural beauty of the region struck the surveyors and they encouraged President Taft to protect it. On July 31, 1909, Taft set aside about 16,000 acres for Mukuntuweap National Monument to protect the region. In1918, Munkutuweap National Monument became Zion National Monument, and in 1919, Zion National Park was created, which was among the earliest additions to the the U. S. National Park System.
Where to find the park’s best trails(小径)
Zion Canyon (峡谷) has many popular trails, from easy hikes like Emerald Pools (3.5 km) and the Riverside Walk (3.5k m) to the difficult one that leads to Scout Lookout (6.2 km).
The park’s most popular hike is The Narrows. Much of the journey is up the Virgin River through an amazing canyon at the north end of Zion Canyon, so be prepared to get wet. Most people only hike a mile or so up the canyon. “The Narrows puts you deep in the heart of a wide canyon, showing the power of the river that formed the area,” says Kyle Sheppard, who works at the park.
Backpackers (背包客)can try the West Rim Trail (22.8km) across the wilderness Horse Pasture Plateau to Lava Point, where another trail connects to Kolob Canyons in the park’s northwest corner.
The best place for seeing wildlife
More than 290 bird varieties have been found in the park. “A visit to a river, or a pine forest will give you a chance to see plenty of different birds,” says Ally O’Rullian, the park’s communications specialist. “Birds are very active in the early morning and late afternoon. They sing more at these times, making it easier to find them than at noon.”
1.When was Zion National Park set up?
A.In 1908. B.In 1909.
C.In 1918. D.In 1919.
2.What is special about The Narrows?
A.It runs along a river. B.It is loved by backpackers.
C.It has the longest trail. D.It is discovered by a tourist.
3.What might Ally O’Rullian advise visitors to do in Zion National Park?
A.Keep quiet at noon. B.Watch birds in the early morning.
C.Sing songs by a river. D.Feed wild animals in the forest.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了锡安国家公园的历史沿革和主要风光。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“In1918, Munkutuweap National Monument became Zion National Monument, and in 1919, Zion National Park was created, which was among the earliest additions to the the U. S. National Park System.(1918年,Munkutuweap国家纪念碑成为锡安国家纪念碑,1919年,锡安国家公园成立,这是最早加入美国国家公园系统的国家公园之一。)”可知,锡安国家公园创建于1919年。故选D项。
2.细节理解题。根据Where to find the park’s best trails(小径)部分中“The park’s most popular hike is The Narrows. Much of the journey is up the Virgin River through an amazing canyon at the north end of Zion Canyon, so be prepared to get wet.(公园里最受欢迎的徒步路线是The Narrows。大部分旅程都是沿着Virgin River而上,穿过锡安峡谷北端的一个令人惊叹的峡谷,所以要做好淋湿的准备。)”可知,The Narrows这条路径的特点是沿途会经过河流。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“More than 290 bird varieties have been found in the park. “A visit to a river, or a pine forest will give you a chance to see plenty of different birds,” says Ally O’Rullian, the park’s communications specialist. “Birds are very active in the early morning and late afternoon. They sing more at these times, making it easier to find them than at noon.”(公园里发现了290多种鸟类。公园的通讯专家Ally O’Rullian说:“参观河流或松林会让你有机会看到很多不同的鸟类,鸟类在清晨和傍晚非常活跃。它们在这些时候唱得更多,比中午更容易找到它们。”)”可知,Ally O’Rullian建议游客清晨或傍晚在锡安国家公园观鸟。故选B项。

Watching movies is great for improving your English. And if you choose films that you enjoy watching, you’ll learn English without even realising it! Here are four movies that are perfect for English learners.
Charlotte’s Web (2006)
Story: The power of friendship between a pig(Wilbur)and a spider(Charlotte).
The live-action film, a fine adaptation of E. B.White’s book, will entertain the young audience with cute talking animals and easy-to-follow language. Adults will also be charmed by heartwarming good time and learn to look at the world with curiosity and joy.
Toy Story(1995)
Story: A cartoon film about toys that come to life when children and adults aren’t around.
The storylines are clear and the characters use simple but useful language. Though it’s mainly for kids, Toy Story doesn’t feel childish. The story and jokes also attracted adults, so parents would be more likely to take their children to see the film.
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Story: Things go wrong when a group of kids get a free tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
This film is also great for English learners as it is generally easy to follow. And you’ll hear some extracts(选段) from English literature because Willy often quotes well-known writers such as Oscar Wilde and Shakespeare.
The Sound of Music(1965)
Story: A young woman (Maria) becomes the nanny for seven children in a house in the Austrian Alps.
The Sound of Music is a musical and listening to music is one of the best ways to improve your English. Many of the film’s songs have become classics because they’re so catchy.

3.Where is this text probably taken from?
A.A music blog. B.A language magazine.

【答案】1.B 2.D 3.B
【导语】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了四部电影,说明了它们各自的特点和适合观看的人群,旨在帮助英语学习者通过看电影提高英语水平。
1.细节理解题。根据Toy Story(1995)下的“A cartoon film about toys that come to life when children and adults aren’t around.(一部关于玩具的卡通电影,当孩子和大人不在身边时,玩具就会活过来)”可知,Toy Story最吸引卡通爱好者。故选B项。

Beat the heat at our huge lake! Kayak, paddleboard, swim, or join our weekly fishing contest — land the biggest catch and win a shiny special badge. “My counselor taught me to bait a hook — I’m winning this year!” says 12-year-old Lily.
Evenings to Cherish:

Passage 1
(23-24高一上·福建龙岩·期末)
The Most Beautiful Train Stations in the World
Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building
The wide-open entrance square on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo’s main train station would look more at home in Amsterdam or Paris. Kingo Tatsuno’s classical European design took over six years to complete, finally opening in 1914. The statin has received several facelifts since the Second World War, most recently in 2012. It’s one of the biggest and busiest train stations in the world.
Beijing West Railway Station
The idea of building this station in the capital of China was put forward as early as 1959 but didn’t come to reality until 1996. It was the largest station in Asia at the time, although Shanghai’s Hongqiao Station has since surpassed it. The station itself has a unique architectural (建筑的) style, with the main body of the building having quite a functional Russian look, but the rooftop is decorated with three amazing Chinese pagodas.
Duoliang Station, Taiwan
This is the smallest station on this lit by a distance. In fact we’re not really choosing Duoliang for architectural reasons. This station is all about location, location, location. Surrounded by hi top greenery on one side and amazing Pacific Ocean scenery on the other, it’s one of the most scenic spots in all of Taiwan. This isn’t even a working station anymore, but the platforms have been adapted into viewing spots, extremely popular with local train spotters.
Stazione Milano Centrale in Milan
Milan’s central train station looks pretty much exactly as you’d imagine it. There are a mix of styles at play here, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco, but the entire building is filled with a classic sense of Roman monumentality. The outer look is guarded by two statues, while its insides are equally impressive, as grand stonewalls curve (弯曲) into the station’s glass ceilings.
1.What do Tokyo Station and Beijing West Railway Station have in common?
A.Both have European features.
B.Both were built in the early 1990s.
C.Both have been rebuilt several times.
D.Both are the largest domestic stations.
2.What do train spotters favor most about Duoliang Station?
A.Its distance. B.Its small size.
C.Its surrounding scenery. D.Its architectural style.
3.What makes Stazione Milano Centrale impressive?
A.Roman buildings B.Its various styles.
C.Statues on the walls D.The curving ceilings.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界上最漂亮的火车站。
1.细节理解题。根据Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building中的“The wide-open entrance square on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo’s main train station would look more at home in Amsterdam or Paris. Kingo Tatsuno’s classical European design took over six years to complete, finally opening in 1914.(东京中央火车站之内一侧宽阔的入口广场看起来更像是阿姆斯特丹或巴黎的建筑风格。Tatsuno的古典欧式设计花了六年时间才完成,最终于1914年开放)”及Beijing West Railway Station中的“The station itself has a unique architectural (建筑的) style, with the main body of the building having quite a functional Russian look(车站本身有独特的建筑风格,建筑主体具有相当实用的俄罗斯建筑外观)”可知,两座火车站都有欧式特点。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据Duoliang Station, Taiwan中的“Surrounded by hi top greenery on one side and amazing Pacific Ocean scenery on the other, it’s one of the most scenic spots in all of Taiwan.(它一边被高高的绿色植物包围,另一边是令人惊叹的太平洋风景,它是台湾最美丽的景点之一)”可知,火车爱好者最喜欢多良站周围的景色。故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据Stazione Milano Centrale in Milan中的“There are a mix of styles at play here, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco, but the entire building is filled with a classic sense of Roman monumentality. The outer look is guarded by two statues, while its insides are equally impressive, as grand stonewalls curve (弯曲) into the station’s glass ceilings.(从新艺术到装饰艺术,这里的风格多种多样,但整座建筑都充满了经典的罗马纪念性。车站的外部由两座雕像守护,而内部也同样令人印象深刻,宏伟的石墙与车站的玻璃天花板形成曲线)”可知,各种各样的风格使得Stazione Milano Centrale印象深刻。故选B项。

This is the warmest exotic (异域风情的) place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye.

Passage 2
(23-24高一上·福建三明·期末)
Keshwa Chaca Bridge, Peru
While most bridges are made from wood or steel, the Keshwa Chaca Bridge is made from woven grass, which appears unsafe. You may be worried it won’t support your weight, though the bridge has lasted for 500 years. It was the Incas who first built the attractive bridge, showing the talents of the Incas and their unusual architecture methods.
Carrick-a-Red Rope Bridge, Northern Ireland
This 66-foot-long bridge sits 30 meters above the rough rocks and fast-flowing waters. Few people make it there and back. Don’t worry, they don’t fall in, they just can’t stomach the journey twice and come back by boat. It’s become a tourist attraction and you actually have to pay to cross. If you don’t have a stomach of steel, it’s probably best to get a one way ticket in case!
The Bridge of Immortals, China
The Bridge of Immortals connects the Huangshan mountain ranges in Anhui province of China. The bridge is frightening to cross but the views are really worthwhile. The drop below is pretty great and if crazy adventurers decide to cross, we only have a suggestion to offer: Don’t look down!
Hanging Bridge Of Ghasa, Nepal
This breath-taking bridge looks frightening, but it happens to be one of the main sources of transportation for locals to transport people and cattle. The bridge is extremely narrow and it stands high above a river valley. Locals have grown used to the bridge, but many tourists are too afraid to cross because it seems as if it’s about to break.
1.Where can you appreciate the architecture of the Incas?
A.Keshwa Chaca Bridge.
B.Carrick-a-Red Rope Bridge.
C.The Bridge of Immortals.
D.Hanging Bridge of Ghasa.

【答案】1.A 2.B 3.C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四座值得旅游观光的大桥。
1.细节理解题。根据“Keshwa Chaca Bridge, Peru”中的“It was the Incas who first built the attractive bridge, showing the talents of the Incas and their unusual architecture methods. (是印加人首先建造了这座迷人的桥,展示了印加人的才能和他们不同寻常的建筑方法) ”可知,在Keshwa Chaca Bridge可以观看印加人的建筑,故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据“Carrick-a-Red Rope Bridge, Northern Ireland”中的“It’s become a tourist attraction and you actually have to pay to cross. (它已经成为一个旅游景点,实际上你要付钱才能穿过) ”可知,要过Carrick-a-Red Rope Bridge,需要花钱才能过去,故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据“Keshwa Chaca Bridge, Peru”中的“While most bridges are made from wood or steel, the Keshwa Chaca Bridge is made from woven grass, which appears unsafe. (虽然大多数桥梁都是用木头或钢铁建造的,但Keshwa Chaca桥是用编织的草建造的,看起来很不安全)”, “Carrick-a-Red Rope Bridge, Northern Ireland”中的“This 66-foot-long bridge sits 30 meters above the rough rocks and fast-flowing waters. Few people make it there and back. (这座66英尺长的桥坐落在粗糙的岩石和湍急的水流之上30米。很少有人能成功往返)”,“The Bridge of Immortals, China”中的“The Bridge of Immortals connects the Huangshan mountain ranges in Anhui province of China. (仙人桥连接着中国安徽省的黄山山脉)”,“Hanging Bridge Of Ghasa, Nepal”中的“This breath-taking bridge looks frightening, but it happens to be one of the main sources of transportation for locals to transport people and cattle. (这座令人叹为观止的桥看起来很吓人,但它恰好是当地人运送人和牲畜的主要交通工具之一)”可知,这四座桥都很特别,也就是很有创意,故选C。

Passage 1
(24-25高一上·福建莆田一中·期末)
Zion National Park
Few outsiders visited the region until a national land survey in 1908 first made the area known to the general public. The natural beauty of the region struck the surveyors and they encouraged President Taft to protect it. On July 31, 1909, Taft set aside about 16,000 acres for Mukuntuweap National Monument to protect the region. In1918, Munkutuweap National Monument became Zion National Monument, and in 1919, Zion National Park was created, which was among the earliest additions to the the U. S. National Park System.
Where to find the park’s best trails(小径)
Zion Canyon (峡谷) has many popular trails, from easy hikes like Emerald Pools (3.5 km) and the Riverside Walk (3.5k m) to the difficult one that leads to Scout Lookout (6.2 km).
The park’s most popular hike is The Narrows. Much of the journey is up the Virgin River through an amazing canyon at the north end of Zion Canyon, so be prepared to get wet. Most people only hike a mile or so up the canyon. “The Narrows puts you deep in the heart of a wide canyon, showing the power of the river that formed the area,” says Kyle Sheppard, who works at the park.

Passage 1
(23-24高一上·福建龙岩·期末)
The Most Beautiful Train Stations in the World
Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building
The wide-open entrance square on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo’s main train station would look more at home in Amsterdam or Paris. Kingo Tatsuno’s classical European design took over six years to complete, finally opening in 1914. The statin has received several facelifts since the Second World War, most recently in 2012. It’s one of the biggest and busiest train stations in the world.
Beijing West Railway Station
The idea of building this station in the capital of China was put forward as early as 1959 but didn’t come to reality until 1996. It was the largest station in Asia at the time, although Shanghai’s Hongqiao Station has since surpassed it. The station itself has a unique architectural (建筑的) style, with the main body of the building having quite a functional Russian look, but the rooftop is decorated with three amazing Chinese pagodas.
Duoliang Station, Taiwan
This is the smallest station on this lit by a distance. In fact we’re not really choosing Duoliang for architectural reasons. This station is all about location, location, location. Surrounded by hi top greenery on one side and amazing Pacific Ocean scenery on the other, it’s one of the most scenic spots in all of Taiwan. This isn’t even a working station anymore, but the platforms have been adapted into viewing spots, extremely popular with local train spotters.
Stazione Milano Centrale in Milan
Milan’s central train station looks pretty much exactly as you’d imagine it. There are a mix of styles at play here, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco, but the entire building is filled with a classic sense of Roman monumentality. The outer look is guarded by two statues, while its insides are equally impressive, as grand stonewalls curve (弯曲) into the station’s glass ceilings.
1.What do Tokyo Station and Beijing West Railway Station have in common?
A.Both have European features.
B.Both were built in the early 1990s.
C.Both have been rebuilt several times.
D.Both are the largest domestic stations.
2.What do train spotters favor most about Duoliang Station?
A.Its distance. B.Its small size.
C.Its surrounding scenery. D.Its architectural style.
3.What makes Stazione Milano Centrale impressive?
A.Roman buildings B.Its various styles.
C.Statues on the walls D.The curving ceilings.

There are some palaces in Europe that you may be interested to know about.
Royal Palace of Madrid, Spain
It takes the title of the largest European palace by floor area and it is one of the largest palaces in the world.

Royal Palace of Brussels, Belgium
It is a historic and the most wonderful building in Brussels, Belgium, next to Brussels Park. The Royal Palace of Brussels is the King’s main workplace, where he works daily with his staff. A tradition has been established since 1965 to open the Royal Palace of Brussels to the public normally from the 21 July until the beginning of September.
Pena Palace, Portugal
It is the most popular attraction in Sintra, Portugal, and the main reason why so many people visit the small mountain town less than one hour’s drive from the country’s capital city, Lisbon. The colorful palace perched upon a hill looks like something out of a fairy tale. Its yellow and bright red appearance makes Pena Palace one of the most picturesque places in Europe. The UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site has a rich history that dates all the way back to the Middle Ages.
Palace of Venaria, Italy
It is a former royal living places and gardens located in Venaria Reale, near Turin in the Metropolitan City of Turin of the Piedmont region in northern Italy.

Passage 1
(24-25高一上·福建莆田十五中·期末)
The Most Beautiful Seas in the World
Considering the most beautiful seas, it’s worth paying attention to the southern water bodies, although, without doubt, each sea is attractive and charming in its own way.
The most beautiful sea in the world — Coral Sea
If we consider the beauty of the seas, and not their coasts, then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving, and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are at its bottom.
The second place — Red Sea
The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich. Many corals live only here, and divers are strictly forbidden to break them.
The third place — Bali Sea
The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean. This is another paradise (天堂) for relaxation, receiving many tourists every season. The sea has a warm climate, creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Madura.
The fourth place — Caribbean
This is the warmest exotic (异域风情的) place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye. It’s located between North and South America, and on its shore there are a number of small countries. Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive, and you can experience different cultural traditions.

Keshwa Chaca Bridge, Peru
While most bridges are made from wood or steel, the Keshwa Chaca Bridge is made from woven grass, which appears unsafe. You may be worried it won’t support your weight, though the bridge has lasted for 500 years. It was the Incas who first built the attractive bridge, showing the talents of the Incas and their unusual architecture methods.
Carrick-a-Red Rope Bridge, Northern Ireland
This 66-foot-long bridge sits 30 meters above the rough rocks and fast-flowing waters. Few people make it there and back. Don’t worry, they don’t fall in, they just can’t stomach the journey twice and come back by boat. It’s become a tourist attraction and you actually have to pay to cross. If you don’t have a stomach of steel, it’s probably best to get a one way ticket in case!
The Bridge of Immortals, China
The Bridge of Immortals connects the Huangshan mountain ranges in Anhui province of China. The bridge is frightening to cross but the views are really worthwhile. The drop below is pretty great and if crazy adventurers decide to cross, we only have a suggestion to offer: Don’t look down!
Hanging Bridge Of Ghasa, Nepal
This breath-taking bridge looks frightening, but it happens to be one of the main sources of transportation for locals to transport people and cattle. The bridge is extremely narrow and it stands high above a river valley. Locals have grown used to the bridge, but many tourists are too afraid to cross because it seems as if it’s about to break.
1.Where can you appreciate the architecture of the Incas?
A.Keshwa Chaca Bridge.
B.Carrick-a-Red Rope Bridge.
C.The Bridge of Immortals.
D.Hanging Bridge of Ghasa.
2.What can we know about Carrick-a-Red Rope Bridge?
A.It can be reached only by boat.
B.It takes you money to cross it.
C.It stands 66 meters above rocks.
D.It’s made of wood and lasts strong.
3.Which word can best describe all the bridges above?
A.Narrow. B.Smooth. C.Dangerous. D.Creative.
