专题01 阅读理解（应用文） 主题01 人与社会——节日文化与文化交流 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·山西大同·期末） Western people often host a spooky movie night for friends or family during the Halloween. Here are some tips for planning a fun event. Schedule a date A Friday or Saturday night might be a good option, so you can start the movie after dark — making the mood more scary —and not have to worry about staying up too late on a school night. Once you have a date and time picked out, reach out to anyone you would like to invite. Pick a movie You can check out the Halloween-themed movies on your family’s streaming services or see what you might be able to download for free from the Internet. If you want friends to help you choose the fun and age-appropriate movie for everyone who is attending, you could narrow the selection down to three options and take a quick vote when everyone arrives. Serve snacks Popcorn is a classic movie treat and easy to make for a group. You can serve it plain or set up a popcorn bar. Place one large bowl of popcorn on a counter with several smaller bowls of toppings — like chocolate chips, small candies, and Parmesan cheese. Set out brown paper lunch bags, festive stickers, and black and orange markers so guests can personalize their bags. Get the room ready Depending on how many people you are hosting, you may want to add extra seating to your TV area. You could gather beanbag chairs, sleeping bags, and extra pillows to make the space cozy. Decorate the room in a Halloween theme like setting out plastic pumpkins with fake candles inside to help create a spooky mood and cutting out spider and ghost shapes to hang from the ceiling. 1．Why are weekends better for a movie night? A．Because more friends will come. B．Because children have no homework. C．Because Halloween is often on Fridays. D．Because nobody will worry about sleeping late. 2．What is the purpose of preparing stickers and markers? A．To label the topping bowls. B．To stick the paper spiders. C．To differ guests’ lunch bags. D．To decorate the plastic pumpkins. 3．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A travel flyer. B．A culture website. C．A fashion magazine. D．A sales email.

The next one runs from 25 — 28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit. Nature’s Calendar This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk. Big Butterfly Count Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop in these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes every day recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in. The Big Garden Birdwatch Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details. 1．Which project equips participants with tools?

Passage 2 （24-25高二上·江西南昌·期末） Hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires are a few examples of unavoidable natural disasters. Throughout history, humans have caused some of the most disastrous environmental events. Here are four of them in the United States history that originated through human fault. The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone In 1985, scientists began mapping a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. For years, humans have polluted the Mississippi River with pesticides, industrial waste, and poisonous chemicals. As the river flows into the Gulf, extra nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorus in the water cause sudden and quick algal (海藻) growth, consuming too much oxygen. In 2021, the disaster area measured 6,334 square miles. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge area of marine waste in the North Pacific Ocean. It is made up of tiny pieces of plastic brought together by the North Pacific Gyre (北太平洋环流), which is formed by four ocean currents — California, North Equatorial, Kuroshio, and North Pacific. Three Mile Island Accident One of the most significant accidents in the history of American nuclear power took place on March 28, 1979. The disaster happened at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The unit was damaged beyond repair and released radioactive material into the environment. 2017 California Wildfires Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and raising large numbers of animals can increase greenhouse gases in the air, making the Earth warmer. In October 2017, northern California had one of the most deadly wildfire seasons in history. Higher temperatures and drought made the fire spread quickly. The 2017 wildfires burned about 245,000 acres of land and killed at least 47 people. 4．What do the four disasters have in common? A．They are all natural disasters. B．They all happened in coastal areas. C．They can all repair themselves naturally. D．They were all caused by human activities. 5．What is special about The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone? A．It happened because the water lost too much oxygen. B．It was caused by the release of radioactive materials. C．More greenhouse gases in the air led to the disaster. D．Tiny plastic pieces carried by ocean currents caused it. 6．Which disaster was related to nuclear power? A．The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone. B．The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. C．Three Mile Island Accident. D．2017 California Wildfires. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·上海金山·期中） Sepilok Orangutan (红毛猩猩) Rehabilitation (康复) Centre (SORC) started in 1964 as rehabilitation for baby orangutans. It is under the administration of Sabah Wildlife Department with the aim of returning orphaned, injured or displaced orangutans back into the wild. The centre is situated on the east coast of Sabah (Sandakan district) and covered over4,294 hectares of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve. Feeding Generally, visitors to Sepilok are able to see orangutans during the scheduled 10: 00 am and 3: 00 pm feeding sessions at the platform. Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season. This is indeed a great feat, as the whole purpose is to ensure these orangutans understand that their natural home is in the wild and not to be dependent on a conditioned environment. Guidelines Keep Quiet: Loud noises, shouting, or running may stress the orangutans. No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans. Only authorized staff may provide food. No Flash Photography: Turn off flashlights when taking photos to avoid disturbing the animals’ vision. Follow Signage: Stay on designated (被指定的) pathways and observation decks. Unauthorized access to restricted areas is strictly prohibited.Entrance fee is applicable Adults Children $5.00(Malaysian) $30.00(Non-Malaysian) $2.00(Malaysian) $15.00 (Non-Malaysian) 7．Why might visitors fail to see the orangutans during feeding time? A．The orangutans are afraid of visitors’ noise. B．The orangutans don’t like food offered by SORC． C．The orangutans have found enough food in the wild. D．The orangutans are kept in their rooms due to the bad weather. 8．What are visitors prohibited from doing at the SORC? A．Taking photos. B．Touching the orangutans. C．Talking with each other. D．Walking along the designated pathways. 9．How much will a Malaysian teacher with an American pupil pay to enter the centre? A．$7.00. B．$20.00. C．$32.00. D．$45.00. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 阅读理解（应用文） 主题01 人与社会——节日文化与文化交流 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·山西大同·期末） Western people often host a spooky movie night for friends or family during the Halloween. Here are some tips for planning a fun event. Schedule a date A Friday or Saturday night might be a good option, so you can start the movie after dark — making the mood more scary —and not have to worry about staying up too late on a school night. Once you have a date and time picked out, reach out to anyone you would like to invite. Pick a movie You can check out the Halloween-themed movies on your family’s streaming services or see what you might be able to download for free from the Internet. If you want friends to help you choose the fun and age-appropriate movie for everyone who is attending, you could narrow the selection down to three options and take a quick vote when everyone arrives. Serve snacks Popcorn is a classic movie treat and easy to make for a group. You can serve it plain or set up a popcorn bar. Place one large bowl of popcorn on a counter with several smaller bowls of toppings — like chocolate chips, small candies, and Parmesan cheese. Set out brown paper lunch bags, festive stickers, and black and orange markers so guests can personalize their bags. Get the room ready Depending on how many people you are hosting, you may want to add extra seating to your TV area. You could gather beanbag chairs, sleeping bags, and extra pillows to make the space cozy. Decorate the room in a Halloween theme like setting out plastic pumpkins with fake candles inside to help create a spooky mood and cutting out spider and ghost shapes to hang from the ceiling. 1．Why are weekends better for a movie night? A．Because more friends will come. B．Because children have no homework. C．Because Halloween is often on Fridays. D．Because nobody will worry about sleeping late. 2．What is the purpose of preparing stickers and markers? A．To label the topping bowls. B．To stick the paper spiders. C．To differ guests’ lunch bags. D．To decorate the plastic pumpkins. 3．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A travel flyer. B．A culture website. C．A fashion magazine. D．A sales email. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章讲述了西方人经常在万圣节期间为朋友或家人举办恐怖电影之夜，并提供了相关建议，其中包括安排日期、挑选电影、提供零食和装扮房间等。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“A Friday or Saturday night might be a good option, so you can start the movie after dark — making the mood more scary —and not have to worry about staying up too late on a school night.(周五或周六的晚上可能是一个不错的选择，这样你就可以在天黑后开始看电影——让气氛更恐怖——而且不必担心在上学的晚上熬夜)”可知，周末更适合举办电影之夜，因为没有人会担心睡得太晚。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Set out brown paper lunch bags, festive stickers, and black and orange markers so guests can personalize their bags.(准备好牛皮纸的午餐袋，节日贴纸，黑色和橙色的马克笔，这样客人就可以个性化他们的包)”可知，准备贴纸和马克笔是为了让客人区别自己的午餐袋。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“Western people often host a spooky movie night for friends or family during the Halloween.

Throughout history, humans have caused some of the most disastrous environmental events. Here are four of them in the United States history that originated through human fault. The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone In 1985, scientists began mapping a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. For years, humans have polluted the Mississippi River with pesticides, industrial waste, and poisonous chemicals. As the river flows into the Gulf, extra nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorus in the water cause sudden and quick algal (海藻) growth, consuming too much oxygen. In 2021, the disaster area measured 6,334 square miles. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge area of marine waste in the North Pacific Ocean. It is made up of tiny pieces of plastic brought together by the North Pacific Gyre (北太平洋环流), which is formed by four ocean currents — California, North Equatorial, Kuroshio, and North Pacific. Three Mile Island Accident One of the most significant accidents in the history of American nuclear power took place on March 28, 1979. The disaster happened at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The unit was damaged beyond repair and released radioactive material into the environment. 2017 California Wildfires Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and raising large numbers of animals can increase greenhouse gases in the air, making the Earth warmer. In October 2017, northern California had one of the most deadly wildfire seasons in history. Higher temperatures and drought made the fire spread quickly. The 2017 wildfires burned about 245,000 acres of land and killed at least 47 people. 4．What do the four disasters have in common? A．They are all natural disasters. B．They all happened in coastal areas. C．They can all repair themselves naturally. D．They were all caused by human activities. 5．What is special about The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone? A．It happened because the water lost too much oxygen. B．It was caused by the release of radioactive materials. C．More greenhouse gases in the air led to the disaster. D．Tiny plastic pieces carried by ocean currents caused it. 6．Which disaster was related to nuclear power? A．The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone. B．The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. C．Three Mile Island Accident. D．2017 California Wildfires. 【答案】4．D 5．A 6．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了美国历史上由人类活动引起的四起灾难性环境事件。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Throughout history, humans have caused some of the most disastrous environmental events. Here are four of them in the United States history that originated through human fault. (纵观历史，人类引发了一些最具灾难性的环境事件。以下是美国历史上四起由人为过失导致的此类事件。)”可知，这四个灾难的共同之处在于它们都是由人类活动引起的。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone中“For years, humans have polluted the Mississippi River with pesticides, industrial waste, and poisonous chemicals. As the river flows into the Gulf, extra nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorous in the water cause sudden and quick algal (海藻) growth, consuming too much oxygen. In 2021, the disaster area measured 6,334 square miles. (多年来，人类一直向密西西比河排放杀虫剂、工业废料和有毒化学物质。当这条河流入墨西哥湾时，水中包括氮和磷在内的额外营养物质会导致海藻突然快速生长，消耗过多的氧气。2021年，受灾区域达到了6,334平方英里。)”可知，墨西哥湾死亡区的特别之处在于它发生是因为水失去了太多的氧气。故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据Three Mile Island Accident中“One of the most significant accidents in the history of American nuclear power took place on March 28, 1979. The disaster happened at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The unit was damaged beyond repair and released radioactive material into the environment. (美国核电史上最严重的事故之一发生在1979年3月28日。这场灾难发生在宾夕法尼亚州哈里斯堡附近的三哩岛核电站。该机组损坏严重，无法修复，并向环境中释放了放射性物质。)”可知，三里岛事故与核能有关。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25高二上·上海金山·期中） Sepilok Orangutan (红毛猩猩) Rehabilitation (康复) Centre (SORC) started in 1964 as rehabilitation for baby orangutans. It is under the administration of Sabah Wildlife Department with the aim of returning orphaned, injured or displaced orangutans back into the wild. The centre is situated on the east coast of Sabah (Sandakan district) and covered over4,294 hectares of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve. Feeding Generally, visitors to Sepilok are able to see orangutans during the scheduled 10: 00 am and 3: 00 pm feeding sessions at the platform. Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season. This is indeed a great feat, as the whole purpose is to ensure these orangutans understand that their natural home is in the wild and not to be dependent on a conditioned environment. Guidelines Keep Quiet: Loud noises, shouting, or running may stress the orangutans. No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans. Only authorized staff may provide food. No Flash Photography: Turn off flashlights when taking photos to avoid disturbing the animals’ vision. Follow Signage: Stay on designated (被指定的) pathways and observation decks. Unauthorized access to restricted areas is strictly prohibited.Entrance fee is applicable Adults Children $5.00(Malaysian) $30.00(Non-Malaysian) $2.00(Malaysian) $15.00 (Non-Malaysian) 7．Why might visitors fail to see the orangutans during feeding time? A．The orangutans are afraid of visitors’ noise. B．The orangutans don’t like food offered by SORC． C．The orangutans have found enough food in the wild. D．The orangutans are kept in their rooms due to the bad weather. 8．What are visitors prohibited from doing at the SORC? A．Taking photos. B．Touching the orangutans. C．Talking with each other. D．Walking along the designated pathways. 9．How much will a Malaysian teacher with an American pupil pay to enter the centre? A．$7.00. B．$20.00. C．$32.00. D．$45.00. 【答案】7．C 8．B 9．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要说明了红毛猩猩喂食时间、猩猩不出现的原因及参观准则。 7．细节理解题。根据第二段“Have there been occasions where orangutans have not shown up for feeding? Admittedly yes! And we give you this heads up, while not something that occurs frequently. The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild, especially during fruiting season.(有没有出现过猩猩没有按时前来进食的情况呢？当然有！不过我们要提醒您的是，这种情况并非经常发生。主要原因在于，猩猩能够在野外获取食物，尤其是在果实成熟的季节)”可知，游客在喂食时间可能会看不到猩猩是因为猩猩在野外已经找到了足够的食物。故选C。 8．细节理解题。根据Guidelines部分“No Touching or Feeding: Do not touch, feed, or attempt to interact with the orangutans.(禁止触碰或喂食：请勿触碰、喂食或试图与猩猩进行互动)”可知，在索罗克保护区，游客被禁止触摸猩猩。故选B。 9．细节理解题。根据表格中“Adults：$5.00(Malaysian)；Children：$15.00 (Non-Malaysian)(成人票价：5.00美元（马来西亚人）；儿童票价：15.00美元（非马来西亚人）)”可知，一位马来西亚教师和一名美国学生，需要支付5+15=20美元才能进入该中心。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
