Photo tip--just after you cross the bridge (going south), there’s a parking area which is great for shots looking back towards the bridge. Las Vegas Boulevard, Nevada Number two is not to be confused with “The Strip” in Las Vegas. It is worth checking out for its neon (霓虹) signs along the roadside. You can see the Hacienda Horse, Rider and the iconic Silver Slipper along this way which takes only 15 minutes to drive. Death Valley, California As the hottest, driest and lowest national park, Death Valley is a land of extremes. More than just a desert, Death Valley provides park visitors with a chance to admire natural beauty from the snow mountains to the wildflower fields and small oases (绿洲) to the endless desert. Red Rock Scenic Byway, Arizona The Scenic Byway is south on the way to Oak Creek, which is surrounded by an amazing landscape of red rock hills set against clear blue skies. The sandstone rock glows in the sunshine and it’s worth taking your hiking boots and getting out into the landscape to experience its positive energy. 1．Who is the text probably written for?

A new study says it would not have happened without human-caused climate (气候) change. The team looked at temperature and rainfall levels. And they compared what happened in the last three years to many different computer models of the conditions in a world without human-caused climate change. They concluded that without the world warming 1.2℃ since the mid-19th century, there would not be such a serious drought at all. “Human-caused climate change is already making life extremely hard for tens of millions of people in West Asia,” said study co-writer Mohammed Rahimi. “With every degree of warming, Syria, Iraq and Iran will become even harder places to live. Computer models did not find any considerable signs of climate change in the low rainfall, Otto said. But evaporation (蒸发) of water in lakes, rivers, and wetlands was much higher than it would have been without climate change-increased temperatures. The study writers found that the drought conditions in Syria and Iraq are 25 times more likely because of climate change, and in Iran, 16 times more likely. “Drought is not unusual to the Middle East area. But fights make the area even more likely to have a drought because they have weakened water systems,” said study co-writer Rana El Hajj. “This is already touching the limits of what some people are able to stand. As long as we keep burning fuels that affect climate change and continue to explore new oil and gas fields, these kinds of events will only get worse,” she added. “This will continue to destroy lives and keep food prices high.” 1．What caused the drought according to the study? A．Rising temperatures. B．Cold weather. C．Loss of wetlands. D．Forest damage. 2．How does climate change affect the people in West Asia? A．They become wise. B．They explore more oil. C．They are ready to help. D．They lead a hard life. 3．What is Rana’s attitude to the situation in the area? A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring. C．Worried. D．Positive. 4．In which part of a newspaper may this text appear? A．Education. B．Technology. C．Health. D．Environment. 主题02 人与自我——自我提升 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·陕西省西安市·期末） The following are descriptions of four art galleries (美术馆) and arts centres throughout the year.

Here are the top four scenic drives in America’s Southwest. Big Sur Coast Highway, California It is officially known as California State Route 1 with views of high mountains and rolling waves. Photo tip--just after you cross the bridge (going south), there’s a parking area which is great for shots looking back towards the bridge. Las Vegas Boulevard, Nevada Number two is not to be confused with “The Strip” in Las Vegas. It is worth checking out for its neon (霓虹) signs along the roadside. You can see the Hacienda Horse, Rider and the iconic Silver Slipper along this way which takes only 15 minutes to drive. Death Valley, California As the hottest, driest and lowest national park, Death Valley is a land of extremes. More than just a desert, Death Valley provides park visitors with a chance to admire natural beauty from the snow mountains to the wildflower fields and small oases (绿洲) to the endless desert. Red Rock Scenic Byway, Arizona The Scenic Byway is south on the way to Oak Creek, which is surrounded by an amazing landscape of red rock hills set against clear blue skies. The sandstone rock glows in the sunshine and it’s worth taking your hiking boots and getting out into the landscape to experience its positive energy. 1．Who is the text probably written for? A．Hikers. B．Self-driving tourists. C．Photography lovers. D．Adventurers. 2．What is recommended if you choose California State Route 1? A．Parking to listen to the waves.

More than just a desert, Death Valley provides park visitors with a chance to admire natural beauty from the snow mountains to the wildflower fields and small oases (绿洲) to the endless desert.”可知，在死亡谷这个地势最低的国家公园里，游客们可以体验极端的天气：最热、最干燥。这里不止是一片沙漠，它还是一个可以让游客体验到从雪山到绿洲再到沙漠的地方。所以，可以推测出，这里是给游客留下最深印象的地方。故选C项。 Passage 7 （24-25学年高一上·山西省多校联考·期末） A three-year drought has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water. A new study says it would not have happened without human-caused climate (气候) change. The team looked at temperature and rainfall levels. And they compared what happened in the last three years to many different computer models of the conditions in a world without human-caused climate change. They concluded that without the world warming 1.2℃ since the mid-19th century, there would not be such a serious drought at all. “Human-caused climate change is already making life extremely hard for tens of millions of people in West Asia,” said study co-writer Mohammed Rahimi. “With every degree of warming, Syria, Iraq and Iran will become even harder places to live. Computer models did not find any considerable signs of climate change in the low rainfall, Otto said. But evaporation (蒸发) of water in lakes, rivers, and wetlands was much higher than it would have been without climate change-increased temperatures. The study writers found that the drought conditions in Syria and Iraq are 25 times more likely because of climate change, and in Iran, 16 times more likely. “Drought is not unusual to the Middle East area. But fights make the area even more likely to have a drought because they have weakened water systems,” said study co-writer Rana El Hajj. “This is already touching the limits of what some people are able to stand. As long as we keep burning fuels that affect climate change and continue to explore new oil and gas fields, these kinds of events will only get worse,” she added. “This will continue to destroy lives and keep food prices high.” 1．What caused the drought according to the study? A．Rising temperatures. B．Cold weather. C．Loss of wetlands. D．Forest damage. 2．How does climate change affect the people in West Asia? A．They become wise. B．They explore more oil. C．They are ready to help. D．They lead a hard life. 3．What is Rana’s attitude to the situation in the area? A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring. C．Worried. D．Positive. 4．In which part of a newspaper may this text appear? A．Education. B．Technology. C．Health. D．Environment. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了人为气候变化导致的严重干旱问题，以及这种干旱对西亚地区人民生活的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They concluded that without the world warming 1.2℃ since the mid-19th century, there would not be such a serious drought at all.(他们得出的结论是，如果没有自19世纪中叶以来的全球变暖1.2℃，就不会有如此严重的干旱)”可知，干旱的原因是全球变暖，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Human-caused climate change is already making life extremely hard for tens of millions of people in West Asia(人为气候变化已经使西亚地区数千万人的生活变得极其困难)”可知，气候变化使西亚人民的生活变得困难，故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This is already touching the limits of what some people are able to stand. As long as we keep burning fuels that affect climate change and continue to explore new oil and gas fields, these kinds of events will only get worse, she added. This will continue to destroy lives and keep food prices high.(这已经触及了一些人能够承受的极限。只要我们继续燃烧影响气候变化的燃料，并继续开发新的石油和天然气田，这种情况只会变得更糟，她补充道。这将继续摧毁生命，使食品价格居高不下)”可知，Rana对该地区的情况感到担忧，故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文以及第一段内容“A three-year drought has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water. A new study says it would not have happened without human-caused climate (气候) change.(三年的干旱使叙利亚、伊拉克和伊朗数百万人缺水。一项新的研究表明，如果没有人为引起的气候变化，这种情况就不会发生)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述了人为气候变化导致的严重干旱问题，以及这种干旱对西亚地区人民生活的影响，这是关于环境问题的报道，故选D。 主题02 人与自我——自我提升 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·陕西省西安市·期末） The following are descriptions of four art galleries (美术馆) and arts centres throughout the year.

Chinese is a tonal (声调的) language, meaning that changing the tone of just one syllable (音节) can affect a word’s meaning. Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B．C． Arabic Over 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages. English Around 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries. English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language. Italian Nearly 68 million people speak Italian. If you play music or sing, chances are that you already know a lot of Italian because many familiar musical terms are actually Italian. Not only will learning Italian help you pick up vocabulary, but it will also help you understand the meanings of musical terms in greater depth. 1．What is a feature of Arabic? A．It doesn’t have cursive-style fonts. B．It helps artists with their artworks. C．It is written from right to left.
