Passage 2 （24-25学年高二上·山西省吕梁市·期末） Wild Places for Outdoor Adventures in Canada Best for geological wonders: Gros Morne Despite being home to landscapes so breathtaking, Newfoundland and Labrador remains one of Canada’s most overlooked provinces. Taking pride of place on its west coast is UNESCO-listed Gros Morne National Park. The park’s calling card is an ancient treasure — the Tablelands, a plateau pushed up by tectonic (地壳的) plate shifts and one of only a few places in the world you can walk on the earth’s mantle (地幔). Best for soft adventure: Thousand Islands One of Canada’s smallest national parks, Ontario’s Thousand Islands is located in a region of the same name, and made up of 21 islands and numerous smaller islands in the St. Lawrence River. Formed from the worn-down peaks of ancient mountains, much of it is open for camping — a popular, family-friendly option here. Best for a national park pilgrimage: Banff Canada’s first national park, Banff sits in the palm of the snow-dusted Rocky Mountains and has drawn travellers to its natural hot springs since it first opened in 1885. Those mineral baths also inspired the construction of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, a 135-year-old, Scottish baronial-style castle. The action here centres around the skiing town of Banff, but the mountains are home to wildlife such as moose and grizzly bears. Best for wildlife: Jasper Banff’s northern, lesser-visited neighbour. Jasper, is double its size and the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies. A hiker’s region of wild peaks, it’s hard not to bump into wildlife here. Elk, big horn sheep, and wolves are abundant. Time your visit for spring or autumn when wildlife-watching is at its peak. Non-hikers can enjoy cable-rides for valley views and star-gazing at night — Jasper is the second-largest Dark Sky Preserve, in the world. 1．What makes Gros Morne National Park attractive geologically?

D．Its location in Newfoundland and Labrador. 2．Where can you find a family-friendly camping option in Ontario? A．In Banff National Park. B．In Jasper National Park. C．In Thousand Islands Park. D．In Gros Morne National Park. 3．What do Banff and Jasper have in common? A．Their hot season is spring. B．Their hot springs attract tourists. C．They have a history of over 100 years. D．A wide range of wildlife can be found there. Passage 3 （24-25学年高二上·山西省太原市·期末） I recently watched The Martian, a 2015 American science fiction adventure film directed by Ridley Scott, and I must say, it left a lasting impression on me. The screenplay by Drew Goddard, based on Andy Weir’s novel, has gained widespread reputation for its scientific accuracy and engaging plot. The film tells the story of the astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, who is mistakenly assumed dead and left behind on Mars during a mission. Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth. He uses his knowledge and creativity to figure out ways to grow food and make water with limited resources on Mars. The Martian is more than just a survival story. Its celebration of human perseverance and intelligence in the most abject situations is what touched me most. I was on the edge of my seat as Watney worked tirelessly alongside NASA teams and international scientists to find a way back home. The humor, thrilling plot, and unexpected fun kept me engaged throughout the film. The movie also shows the collaborative efforts of NASA and other international space agencies to rescue Watney. It gives a more down-to-earth picture of how such organizations operate during a crisis, including the decision-making processes, the cooperation between different teams on Earth and in space. This is in contrast to other science fiction films that might simplify or overstate the role of such institutions. 1．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The introduction to the actor. B．The plot of the movie. C．The feedback from the audience. D．The impact of the story. 2．What does the underlined word “abject” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Hopeless. B．Exciting. C．Steady. D．Accessible. 3．What feature distinguishes The Martian from other science fiction films? A．The plot twists of the movie. B．The significance of the novel. C．The black humor of the character. D．The display of international cooperation. 4．What message does the text focus on? A．Space travel is a risky business. B．Mars is a possible planet to live on. C．A sci-fi movie could become a reality. D．Human strength overcomes all hardships.

A visit in March may still be a little chilly, but it’s also when Chicago comes alive with its famous St Patrick’s Day celebration — the city bursts with parades. Colorado Rockies The Colorado Rockies experience is a blessing for the skiers. Snowstorms on warmer sunny afternoons make for beautiful days.

I can not say enough about the experiences that my 3 kids are having at Goshen Post! It has been such an amazing start to the school year. They all come home filled with enthusiasm and excitement about what they have been doing at school and the PBls that involve them. I’d like to share with you a story of my two daughters using PBL this weekend—how my girls are applying what they are learning at school through a project while at home. With the very rainy Sunday they were looking for things to do. Anderson wanted to go outside and jump in the muddy puddles(小水坑)! Wesley was excited about the idea too, so they headed outside to play. When they came back, Wesley explained to me that they noticed the rain was flowing and filling all of the storm drains(排水管) in the front paths of our street. This is where the PBL comes in! They turned this little observation into a project, and came up with a plan to figure out where the water was coming from, why it was flowing the way that it was, and where it ended. They asked us to drive them down the street to see where it started and where it ended so that they could record this information. They then came up with their own theories, headed home and wrote about it on Wesley’s new notebook. All of this took hours, filled their afternoon, and created huge smiles on their faces and laughter between two sisters! They have always been creative, but I can tell what you are doing at school is not only motivating them to be more creative, but giving them a framework on how to do it! Thank you ! 1．What can we learn about “PBL”? A．It is a plan of reading books. B．It is a machine invented by schools. C．It is a way of learning based on projects. D．It is a project needing fathers’help. 2．What is the third paragraph mainly talking about ? A．How the children carried out their project. B．Why the children did their research. C．What the children achieved from their project. D．How parents helped the children finish their plan. 3．What’s the author ’s main purpose of writing the email? A．To complain to the school’s headmaster. B．To give credit for the school’s effective teaching. C．To research her children’s creative activities at home. D．To congratulate on the school’s creation. 4．How did the author feel when writing the letter? A．Relaxed and proud. B．Pleased and shocked. C．Relieved and hopeful. D．Grateful and satisfied. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·山西省大同市·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 Pamesan 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.

Taking pride of place on its west coast is UNESCO-listed Gros Morne National Park. The park’s calling card is an ancient treasure — the Tablelands, a plateau pushed up by tectonic (地壳的) plate shifts and one of only a few places in the world you can walk on the earth’s mantle (地幔). Best for soft adventure: Thousand Islands One of Canada’s smallest national parks, Ontario’s Thousand Islands is located in a region of the same name, and made up of 21 islands and numerous smaller islands in the St. Lawrence River. Formed from the worn-down peaks of ancient mountains, much of it is open for camping — a popular, family-friendly option here. Best for a national park pilgrimage: Banff Canada’s first national park, Banff sits in the palm of the snow-dusted Rocky Mountains and has drawn travellers to its natural hot springs since it first opened in 1885. Those mineral baths also inspired the construction of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, a 135-year-old, Scottish baronial-style castle. The action here centres around the skiing town of Banff, but the mountains are home to wildlife such as moose and grizzly bears. Best for wildlife: Jasper Banff’s northern, lesser-visited neighbour. Jasper, is double its size and the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies. A hiker’s region of wild peaks, it’s hard not to bump into wildlife here. Elk, big horn sheep, and wolves are abundant. Time your visit for spring or autumn when wildlife-watching is at its peak. Non-hikers can enjoy cable-rides for valley views and star-gazing at night — Jasper is the second-largest Dark Sky Preserve, in the world. 1．What makes Gros Morne National Park attractive geologically? A．The availability of camping. B．The Tablelands, an ancient plateau. C．The presence of natural hot springs. D．Its location in Newfoundland and Labrador. 2．Where can you find a family-friendly camping option in Ontario? A．In Banff National Park. B．In Jasper National Park. C．In Thousand Islands Park.

D．A wide range of wildlife can be found there. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要讲述了加拿大四个适合户外探险的地方，分别介绍了它们各自的特色和吸引力。 1．细节理解题。根据Best for geological wonders: Gros Morne部分中“The park’s calling card is an ancient treasure — the Tablelands, a plateau pushed up by tectonic (地壳的) plate shifts and one of only a few places in the world you can walk on the earth’s mantle (地幔).(这个公园的名片是一处古老的宝藏——Tablelands，这是一个由地壳板块移动推升形成的高原，也是世界上仅有的几个可以在地球地幔上行走的地方之一。)”可知，从地质学角度来说，Tablelands，这个古老的高原使得格罗斯莫恩国家公园具有吸引力。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据Best for soft adventure: Thousand Islands部分中“One of Canada’s smallest national parks, Ontario’s Thousand Islands is located in a region of the same name, and made up of 21 islands and numerous smaller islands in the St. Lawrence River. Formed from the worn-down peaks of ancient mountains, much of it is open for camping — a popular, family-friendly option here.(加拿大最小的国家公园之一，安大略省的千岛湖位于同名地区，由圣劳伦斯河中的21个岛屿和众多较小的岛屿组成。它由古老山脉被侵蚀的山峰形成，这里的大部分区域都开放供露营——这是一个受欢迎的、适合家庭的选择。)”可知，在安大略省的千岛湖公园可以找到适合家庭的露营选择。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据Best for a national park pilgrimage: Banff部分中“The action here centres around the skiing town of Banff, but the mountains are home to wildlife such as moose and grizzly bears.(这里的活动以班夫滑雪小镇为中心，但这些山脉是驼鹿和灰熊等野生动物的家园。)”以及Best for wildlife: Jasper部分中“A hiker’s region of wild peaks, it’s hard not to bump into wildlife here. Elk, big horn sheep, and wolves are abundant.(这是一个徒步旅行者的野峰地区，在这里很难不遇到野生动物。麋鹿、大角羊和狼数量众多。)”可知，在Banff和Jasper都能发现各种各样的野生动物。故选D项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高二上·山西省太原市·期末） I recently watched The Martian, a 2015 American science fiction adventure film directed by Ridley Scott, and I must say, it left a lasting impression on me. The screenplay by Drew Goddard, based on Andy Weir’s novel, has gained widespread reputation for its scientific accuracy and engaging plot. The film tells the story of the astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, who is mistakenly assumed dead and left behind on Mars during a mission. Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth. He uses his knowledge and creativity to figure out ways to grow food and make water with limited resources on Mars. The Martian is more than just a survival story. Its celebration of human perseverance and intelligence in the most abject situations is what touched me most. I was on the edge of my seat as Watney worked tirelessly alongside NASA teams and international scientists to find a way back home. The humor, thrilling plot, and unexpected fun kept me engaged throughout the film. The movie also shows the collaborative efforts of NASA and other international space agencies to rescue Watney. It gives a more down-to-earth picture of how such organizations operate during a crisis, including the decision-making processes, the cooperation between different teams on Earth and in space. This is in contrast to other science fiction films that might simplify or overstate the role of such institutions. 1．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The introduction to the actor. B．The plot of the movie. C．The feedback from the audience. D．The impact of the story. 2．What does the underlined word “abject” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Hopeless. B．Exciting. C．Steady. D．Accessible. 3．What feature distinguishes The Martian from other science fiction films? A．The plot twists of the movie. B．The significance of the novel. C．The black humor of the character. D．The display of international cooperation. 4．What message does the text focus on? A．Space travel is a risky business. B．Mars is a possible planet to live on. C．A sci-fi movie could become a reality. D．Human strength overcomes all hardships. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇影评。文章主要对2015年美国科幻冒险电影《火星救援》进行了评价和介绍，包括电影的导演、编剧、故事情节、角色表现、主题思想以及与其他科幻电影的对比等。作者表达了对这部电影的深刻印象，特别是对电影中展现的人类在绝境中的坚持和智慧表示赞赏。 1．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The film tells the story of the astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, who is mistakenly assumed dead and left behind on Mars during a mission. Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth. He uses his knowledge and creativity to figure out ways to grow food and make water with limited resources on Mars.(影片讲述了宇航员Mark Watney的故事，由Matt Damon饰演。在一次任务中，他被误认死亡，从而被留在了火星上。面对极度的孤独和生存挑战，Watney在火星极端的环境下从未放弃，不断努力求生并寻找返回地球的方法。他运用自己的知识和创造力，利用火星上有限的资源，想出种植食物和制造水的办法。)”可知，本段主要是在讲述电影的故事内容，详细阐述了宇航员Mark Watney在火星上被误认死亡后，独自面对生存挑战，努力求生并寻找返回地球方法的情节。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth. He uses his knowledge and creativity to figure out ways to grow food and make water with limited resources on Mars.(面对极度的孤独和生存挑战，Watney在火星极端的环境下从未放弃，不断努力求生并寻找返回地球的方法。他运用自己的知识和创造力，利用火星上有限的资源，想出种植食物和制造水的办法。)”可推测，这部电影展现了人类在最糟糕、近乎绝望的处境中展现出的坚韧和智慧。选项A“hopeless”，意为“无助的”，与此相符。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The movie also shows the collaborative efforts of NASA and other international space agencies to rescue Watney. It gives a more down-to-earth picture of how such organizations operate during a crisis, including the decision-making processes, the cooperation between different teams on Earth and in space. This is in contrast to other science fiction films that might simplify or overstate the role of such institutions.(这部电影还展现了美国国家航空航天局和其他国际太空机构为营救Watney所做出的协同努力。它更为真实地描绘了这类机构在危机中是如何运作的，包括决策过程，以及地球上不同团队与太空中团队之间的合作。这与其他一些科幻电影不同，那些电影可能会简化或夸大这类机构的作用。)”可知，《火星救援》展现了美国国家航空航天局和其他国际太空机构的协同努力，真实地呈现了国际合作，这与其他可能简化或夸大这类机构作用的科幻电影形成对比，是其区别于其他科幻电影的特点。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The film tells the story of the astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, who is mistakenly assumed dead and left behind on Mars during a mission. Facing extreme loneliness and survival challenges, Watney never gives up when facing the extreme environment on Mars and keeps trying to survive and find a way back to the Earth.

If you turn your eyes oceanward, you may also catch the gray whales’ yearly journey, which begins in March as the giant animals travel south to Baja California. Utah’s national parks Utah’s national park corridor (走廊) involves some of the country’s most characteristic protected areas. Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Arches are a winning choice when it comes to spring travel. It is cool. You may meet with snow and ice early in the season. Some places begin flowering, making for some striking scenery. Spring is a busy time to visit most of these parks, so plan ahead if you’ve got your heart set on certain campgrounds and hotels. Chicago, IL As soon as the snow melts (融化), the city comes alive with social energy. Restaurants along the lake and river begin putting out their chairs and folks take to the lakefront for walks and bike rides. Baseball season also begins with the White Sox’s home opener in late March and the Cubs’ in early April. A visit in March may still be a little chilly, but it’s also when Chicago comes alive with its famous St Patrick’s Day celebration — the city bursts with parades. Colorado Rockies The Colorado Rockies experience is a blessing for the skiers. Snowstorms on warmer sunny afternoons make for beautiful days. Plus, early spring usually has the deepest snow of the year and fewer crowds than the January to February high season. Brechenridge is known for its long-lasting ski season, often staying open until May. 1．What features Central California Coast? A．Beautiful flowers. B．Changeable weather. C．Diverse sea animals.

Snowstorms on warmer sunny afternoons make for beautiful days. Plus, early spring usually has the deepest snow of the year and fewer crowds than the January to February high season.(对滑雪者来说，科罗拉多落基山脉的体验是一种福气。在温暖晴朗的午后，暴风雪会带来美好的日子。此外，早春通常是一年中积雪最深的时候，而且比1月至2月的旺季人少)”可知，犹他州国家公园和科罗拉多落基山脉都适合寻找雪的人。故选D项。 Passage 5 （24-25学年高二上·山陕西省汉中市·期末） Renew San Francisco Zoo Spend a Saturday beautifying the Zoo and create beautiful gardens for both the animals and visitors.

These emerging technologies will change the way we live, how we look after our bodies and help us prevent a climate disaster. E-skin A soft e-skin could make giving and receiving hugs over the Internet a reality. It can sense the wearer’s movements and change them into electrical signals, which are picked up by another e-skin system via Bluetooth and changed into mechanical vibrations (振动) that copy the movements. Brain reading robots Thanks to a computer algorithm (算法) and a brain-computer interface, a brain-reading robot arm has been created by Swiss researchers. It’s especially intended for patients who can’t move their upper or lower body. It could learn users’ preference and be designed accordingly. 3D-printed food Researchers in the US developed a novel method to 3D print cooked food. It makes a 7-ingredient cheesecake using food inks. The technology could be used to create personalized meals for everyone from professional athletes to patients with dietary conditions. Energy storing bricks American Researchers have turned red bricks, the cheap and widely available building material into “smart bricks” that can store energy like a battery to power up electric devices. They can be recharged hundreds of thousands of times within an hour. 1．What could be realised via E-skin technology? A．Assisting the disabled. B．Changing skin of hands. C．Imitating human’s skin. D．Hugging a person online. 2．Which of the following technologies can be used to provide electricity? A．E-skin. B．Brain reading robots. C．3D-printed food.

I can not say enough about the experiences that my 3 kids are having at Goshen Post! It has been such an amazing start to the school year. They all come home filled with enthusiasm and excitement about what they have been doing at school and the PBls that involve them. I’d like to share with you a story of my two daughters using PBL this weekend—how my girls are applying what they are learning at school through a project while at home. With the very rainy Sunday they were looking for things to do. Anderson wanted to go outside and jump in the muddy puddles(小水坑)! Wesley was excited about the idea too, so they headed outside to play. When they came back, Wesley explained to me that they noticed the rain was flowing and filling all of the storm drains(排水管) in the front paths of our street. This is where the PBL comes in! They turned this little observation into a project, and came up with a plan to figure out where the water was coming from, why it was flowing the way that it was, and where it ended. They asked us to drive them down the street to see where it started and where it ended so that they could record this information. They then came up with their own theories, headed home and wrote about it on Wesley’s new notebook. All of this took hours, filled their afternoon, and created huge smiles on their faces and laughter between two sisters! They have always been creative, but I can tell what you are doing at school is not only motivating them to be more creative, but giving them a framework on how to do it! Thank you ! 1．What can we learn about “PBL”? A．It is a plan of reading books. B．It is a machine invented by schools. C．It is a way of learning based on projects. D．It is a project needing fathers’help. 2．What is the third paragraph mainly talking about ? A．How the children carried out their project. B．Why the children did their research. C．What the children achieved from their project. D．How parents helped the children finish their plan. 3．What’s the author ’s main purpose of writing the email?

D．To congratulate on the school’s creation. 4．How did the author feel when writing the letter? A．Relaxed and proud. B．Pleased and shocked. C．Relieved and hopeful. D．Grateful and satisfied. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是一位家长写给学校的感谢信。文章对学校里的PBL的教学方式给予了高度赞扬。 【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句话“I’d like to share with you a story of my two daughters using PBL this weekend-how my girls are applying what they are learning at school through a project while at home(我想和大家分享一个我的两个女儿这个周末使用PBL的故事——我的女儿们是如何将她们在学校学到的知识通过一个项目应用到家庭作业中的)”可以知道，PBL是一种基于项目的学习方式。故选C。 1. 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“They turned this little observation into a project, and came up with a plan to figure outwhere the water was coming from, why it was flowing the way that it was, and where it ended.

They then came up with their own theories, headed home and wrote about it on Wesley’s new notebook. (他们把这个小小的观察变成了一个项目，并且想出了一个计划来弄清楚水是从哪里来的，为什么它是这样流动的，以及它的终点在哪里。他们让我们开车带他们去街上看看事情的开始和结束，这样他们就可以记录下这些信息。然后他们想出了自己的理论，回到家里，在韦斯利的新笔记本上写下来。)”主要讲述的是两个孩子开展这个项目的过程，也就是“他们是如何开展这个项目的”，故选A。 2. 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句话“I want to send you all a quick email and express my feelings about school this rainy Monday morning.(在这个下雨的星期一早晨，我想给大家发一封简短的电子邮件，表达我对学校的感受。)”和文章的最后一段的第一句话“They have always been creative，but I can tell what you are doing at school is not only motivating them to be more creative，but giving them a framework on how to do it!(他们一直都很有创造力，但是我可以告诉你，你在学校所做的不仅仅是激励他们变得更有创造力，而且给他们一个如何去做的框架！)”可知，作者写这封邮件的主要目的是为了赞扬学校的这种高效的教学方式。故选B。 3. 推理判断题。根据全文作者的叙述语气以及文章最后一句话“Thankyou”可知，文章是一位家长写给学校的感谢信，作者对学校里的PBL的教学方式给予了高度赞扬。由此可推知，作者在写这封信的时候，是感激并且满意的。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·山西省大同市·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 Pamesan 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.
