Some locals are astonished by receiving traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from a foreigner, but Walker is confident in his path. He is among a growing number of foreigners engaging in TCM, mixing their Western backgrounds with ancient Chinese healing arts. Walker, from Britain, came to China in 2015, drawn by martial arts. While learning Shaolin kung fu in Henan, he developed a curiosity about Chinese culture and medicine. After a year of intensive Chinese study, he signed up in Henan University of Chinese Medicine.

The grandma is 94-year-old Wu Mingzhu, called the “queen of melons”, a melon-growing expert and eminent academician. Among Wu Mingzhu’s classmates was Yuan Longping, who later became the “father of hybrid rice”. Wu Mingzhu was born in 1930 into a scholarly family in Wuhan city. After her graduation in 1953, she was assigned to work in Beijing. But Wu had already set her eyes on her long-awaited goal. “What I studied was the science of fruit and vegetables. I wanted to work in the fields not in an office,” said Wu. In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanghai County, Turpan Basin, where working conditions were quite hard. She found that the Hami melon, a rare specialty fruit which was once common in the area, was in danger of becoming extinct if not properly cultivated (种植). Wu spent years visiting over 300 production teams, picking out 44 melon varieties. She overcame a variety of difficulties to produce particularly delicious melons in a scientific way, winning over the local farmers accustomed (习惯的) to folk cultivation methods. Then the promotion area covered most of Xinjiang’s main commodity (商品) areas, and a group of melon-rich villages appeared. From more than 60 years, Wu Mingzhu and her team has cultivated more than 30 varieties, brought the sweetness of melons to people, and promoted the melon series with Chinese characteristics and a complete breeding innovation system to the world. When first hearing her nickname of “a pearl in the Turpan Basin”, Wu said, “In Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me. They have worked hard for decades on the frontline of agriculture. I’m just one of the ordinary ones.” 1．What does the underlined word “eminent” mean in paragraph 1? A．Strict. B．Generous. C．Senior.

Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东深圳光明区·期末) When people ask about my experience of learning Cantonese, I recount a journey driven by unending curiosity and a strong desire to connect with a dynamic culture. Growing up in a Russian family, my fascination with languages grew thanks to my father, a language expert. It’s during a cultural appreciation class in junior high that I was first introduced to the world of Hong Kong films, famous for their characteristic action-packed dramas and storytelling styles. However, what really amazed me was the uniqueness of the language, Cantonese, which sparked a urgent need within me to explore it and the rich culture behind. This marked the beginning of a thrilling linguistic journey. Learning Cantonese posed challenges, such as unfamiliar characters, complex tones, and different grammar structures, yet I persevered. Immersed in textbooks and available online courses, I practiced the tones everyday until my pronunciation flowed naturally. Cantonese dramas and music also played a role in familiarizing me with its rhythm. To truly grasp the essence of Cantonese, I knew that studying alone wasn’t enough — I needed firsthand experience. So, I took a gap year to pack my bags for Hong Kong, a city featuring the lively heartbeat of Cantonese culture. Buried in its busy streets and daily conversations, from casual chats to food ordering, I found myself enveloped in a linguistic wonderland. Within a few months, my Cantonese proficiency flourished, fueling a surge of confidence. My explorations extended beyond the streets. I enrolled in formal language classes that offered professional guidance. Through hard work, I successfully completed all the courses in Cantonese Linguistics. From then on, I’ve been passionately committed to spreading the Cantonese culture, ensuring its richness reaches a wider audience. Today, I continue my Cantonese voyage with unflagging enthusiasm. It has transformed into more than just a linguistic pursuit; it grants me a passport to sincere connections, profound insights, and heartfelt admiration for its one-of-a-kind culture. 1．What motivated the author to start his linguistic journey?

But for the 30-year-old middle-distance superstar, success is no longer simply measured in medals and records; it’s also about the profound journey of motherhood and her status as one of track and field’s greatest role models. Having won a gold medal in the 1,500m at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Kipyegon’s return to the peak of athletics after the birth of her daughter, Alyn, in 2018, has been nothing short of spectacular.

In 2023, Kipyegon confirmed her legacy as one of the greatest middle-distance runners of all time, breaking three world records across three different distances (1,500m,1mile,5,000m) in less than two months — all while raising her daughter. Kipyegon and a string of top athletes are continuing to prove that elite sport and motherhood are not incompatible (不兼容). “I think we motivate young women to know that you can go on maternity (怀孕) leave and come back stronger than before,” Kipyegon suggests. “They realize that it’s not the end of your life, but it can be the beginning of your life.” 1．What does Faith Kipyegon regard as her primary pursuit in northern Kenya?

The night before, it rained in a few areas, and I could see the excitement around me with many calling their families to say, “It rained in my village!” But this sadly seemed to be an exception. In most areas of the country, farmers have been unable to plant the second rice crop, leading to economic hardship. As I made my way, in the sweltering heat, to visit a secondary school in the rural area in Siem Reap. As I walked from classroom to classroom, I wondered how learning outcomes must be impacted by the heat waves, and what would happen to the ability of children to learn, to play and to progress in school. But what made me excited was learning about the after-school programme on handling environmental challenges. As temperatures are rising, so are children rising to the occasion. Through the life skills training programme, students in Grade 9, learn to analyse problems, learn to work together, learn to find solutions. The programme also helps them to understand the environmental challenges of today’s world and how as young people they can be part of the solution. In the afternoon, I went to see the impact of their work in the field. We had lunch with the community leaders and youth volunteers as well as a 12-year-old student from the school. They showed me what they had done in terms of waste management. The village was clean and green. And the community leader said to me, “I am grateful for this programme.” During the chat I thought young people can be and must be part of the solution.

Passage 2 (24-25高二上·广东梅州·期末) For years, twice a day Aadya Joshi walked past a dump filled with smelly rubbish in her neighborhood of south Mumbai on her way to and from school. Originally it was the garden of the local police station. When she was 15, during her summer holidays, Joshi decided to do something about it. “I walked into the police station and was like, ‘Can I please clean your garden?’” recalls Joshi. “It took three or four weeks to eventually convince them that I was not going to give up halfway and leave them with more work. ” The plot of land covers an area of 60 square meters, about a quarter of a tennis court. But, over the course of four Sundays in the summer, with help of local residents, Joshi did more than clear it. She replanted it with native Indian plants and trees. Joshi said, “The first day that we cleaned up I made the mistake of not wearing gloves and I was sick for two weeks.” The idea for native planting came from Joshi’s reading on the Miyawaki method of afforestation (植树造林) and the work of University of Delaware ecologist Douglas Tallamy. These both argue that planting the right trees can have a significant impact on restoring insect and animal biodiversity. The results in Mumbai were immediate: monkeys now hang out at the police station, and butterflies and birds have made the garden their home. After creating the garden, Joshi developed a database of 2,000 plants unique to the Indian subcontinent (次大陆) and last year was awarded the annual Children’s Climate prize, founded by Swedish energy company Telge Energi. Her advice for others looking to follow in her footsteps: “If you bite off more than you can chew in the beginning, you will be stuck and lose motivation,” she says. “But something small, like your neighborhood police station, it’s very manageable.” 1．What was the dump before? A．It was the garden of south Mumbai. B．It was the garden of the local school. C．It was the garden of the local police station. D．It was the research center of University of Delaware. 2．What can we learn from Joshi’s words in the second paragraph? A．The garden was too large to clean. B．The cleaning was hard and dangerous. C．Joshi was sick of the cleaning work. D．The work was enjoyable and rewarding. 3．What can we learn from Joshi’s advice in the last paragraph? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. C．Time and tide wait for no man. D．The longest journey starts from the first step. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To demonstrate the environment problems. B．To call on attention to India’s young people. C．To persuade readers to donate to an environment program.

Passage 3 (24-25高二上·广东深圳龙华区·期末) Frank Caprio is a well-known judge who has gained popularity for his caring and understanding approach in the courtroom. Born on November 23, 1936, Caprio serves as the Chief Judge of the Providence Municipal Court in Rhode Island, USA． His trials have been turned into a television program called “Caught in Providence”, which airs on local Fox stations and presents his work. Caprio’s decisions often reflect a mixture of legal strictness and human warmth. He is known for his merciful judgments and his ability to connect with the people before him. For instance, in one case, a 96-year-old man was brought before Caprio for speeding in a school zone. The elderly man explained that he was driving his 63-year-old son, who has cancer, to a blood test. After hearing the man’s story, Caprio responded with sympathy, highlighting the man’s dedication to his family at an advanced age. Judge Caprio has been called “the warmest judge” by his admirers because of his way of handling justice. His trials prove that the law can be applied with understanding and mercy, which has made him a beloved figure both in the United States and around the world. Another heartwarming example is that Caprio once canceled a double fine for a truck driver who hadn’t got a notice for a previous fine. After the case was dismissed, the driver shared that 20 years ago, as a lost teenager, Caprio had asked him about his future dreams during a trial, a question that marked a turning point in the driver’s life. Caprio’s story is not just about his role as a judge but also about how a single kind act can affect someone’s life. His way of working as a judge shows that justice can be done with sympathy and that sometimes a kind word can change a person’s path for the better. 1．What makes Frank Caprio popular?

But she didn’t know her quiet work would change lives around the world. Gladys West knew from a young age that she didn’t want to be a farmer. But the mathematician, born in 1930 in a county, still had to help harvest crops on her family’s small farm. The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. She hated the dirt but, while she worked, she kept her mind on the building behind the trees at the end of the farm. It was her school, and even then she knew it would be her ticket to freedom. “I was gonna get an education and I was going to get out of there. I wasn’t going to be stuck there all my life,” West, 89, says firmly. Gladys West began her career as a mathematician in 1956 in a lab where there were only three other black employees when she joined. She was widely admired for her ability to solve complex mathematical problems by hand. She eventually went on to program computers to solve the equations (等式) for her. Her first major project was to determine the movements of Neptune and Pluto in relation to each other. In 1978, Gladys became the Project Manager of SeaSat, an surveillance (监控) satellite designed to provide data on oceanographic features and conditions. The project was among the first to show that satellites can be used to observe oceanographic data. By programming a computer to account for tides, gravity, and other factors, Gladys and her team created a program to precisely calculate the orbit of satellites. Her work on this project made it possible to develop a geoid, which is a model of the shape of the Earth. The model and its later updates led to her developing the GPS system, which can make accurate calculations in any location on Earth. Finally in 2018, through her tireless efforts, Gladys West received formal recognition for her work on the GPS. Her name also got featured on the BBC’s 100 Women of 2018, which honored inspiring women from around the globe. 1．What can we learn in paragraph 2? A．Gladys became a mathematician when working as a farmer. B．Gladys had to raise her family by working hard on the farm. C．Gladys was eager to get out of the poor situation for freedom.

Baker, a painter, has long understood the benefits of biophilic (热爱自然的) design. Having suffered a breakdown 10 years ago, Baker found that drawing flowers was the only way to lift his spirit. It was around this time that Baker met Borowski, and joined her production company as a creative director. The pair have worked together ever since launching Graphic Rewilding in 2021. Since then, they’ve decorated many buildings at locations including Earl’s Court station, Lewes Castle and Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd’s Bush—all hand drawn by Baker. “We love galleries, but we focus on public art. This way, our work is out there for everyone to enjoy,” Baker says. The pair believe that flowers have serious power, even when they're not real. “We know that spending time in nature is good for us, but studies show that even pictures of plants have a positive effect on the mind,” says Baker. He discovers from the research that images of plants in hospital waiting rooms can help reduce feelings of stress inpatients. Even so, they admit that art is no match for Mother Nature. “Some people expressed concern that our project might hurt real rewilding efforts. But both can coexist,” says Borowski. “Of course, we want more green space. But we aren’t gardeners. We’re artists. In the absence of nature, we want to create inspiring spaces through art.” Overall, the response has been hugely positive. “The joy that these artworks bring is evident,” says Borowski, highlighting an early project in Crawley, West Sussex, where they painted brick walls, billboards, benches and even bins. “There were so many smiling faces,” she says. “Putting art into a place that previously felt unloved feels like developing joy where there was none.” 1．What is the Graphic Rewilding project aimed at? A．Bringing cities to life through art. B．Promoting people’s appreciation of art. C．Promoting biodiversity in urban areas. D．Raising people’s eco-friendly awareness. 2．What led Baker to fall in love with biophilic design? A．His working experience in the wild. B．His research on the benefits of plants. C．A collaboration with Catherine Borowski. D．A comforting experience of drawing flowers. 3．What distinguishes Graphic Rewilding from gallery exhibitions? A．It gives access to everyone B．It creates hand-drawn designs. C．It focuses on famous buildings. D．It expressed itself more artistically. 4．How do most people react to the pair’s artworks? A．Indifferent. B．Doubtful. C．Appreciative. D．objective. 主题05 人与社会——科学与技术 (24-25高二上·广东揭阳普宁·期末) Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born. When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd. The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth took Noah to an eye doctor, Noah was diagnosed with retinal (视网膜) cancer with the white reflection as a sign. He endured months of treatment, but it was too late. Noah’s cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. “By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25percent of the pictures taken of him per month,” Bryan recalled. Later, Bryan was determined to put his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo of Noah. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with the same cancer. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (眼底镜). Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s Apple Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.” 1．Why did Bryan and Elizabeth take pictures of Noah? A．To record his growth. B．To celebrate his birth. C．To test their digital camera. D．To collect evidence of eye diseases. 2．Which word can best describe Bryan’s feelings in paragraph 3? A．Terrified. B．Regretful. C．Lonely. D．Exhausted. 3．What can the app do to help? A．It serves as a detector. B．It presents expert advice. C．It saves photos on users’ phones. D．It provides a worldwide database. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．How a boy lost his eye. B．How a new app works. C．How a father saved his son. D．How an app came into being. 主题06 人与自然——环境保护 Passage 1 (23-24高二上·广东肇庆·期末) After most people complete their undergraduate degree, they either take a break or jump into a job. Few, like Brianna Craft, set out to save the world. It started when she was a freshman sitting in an environmental studies class in 2006. Craft was shocked when the professor described the harm climate change was having on people. She records the moment in her new book, Everything That Rises: A Climate Change Memoir. After graduation, Craft spent a year in AmeriCorps, focusing on protecting the environment. AmeriCorps is an organization connecting individuals and organizations to help communities tackle their toughest challenges. “That helped me figure out that my future was not in doing science,” she says. Instead, she wanted to work with people and policy. She then had an opportunity to attend the UN climate negotiations (磋商). That, in turn, prepared her for her current role as a senior researcher at the London-based International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).

Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东揭阳揭东区·期末) On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and Speedo ! Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystems with their large diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn't wear a wetsuit(防寒泳衣), Pugh says, "I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If I'm asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message." It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius. He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal. Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim. This is not the first time that Pugh has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica's Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there. 1．Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuits ? A．To show his bravery. B．To swim faster. C．To build up his body. D．To have overnight fame. 2．What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to'? A．His body temperature. B．His body C．The water. D．The water temperature. 3．What's Pugh's advice about swimming in freezing waters? A．One should be expert at swimming. B．One must be used to long-distance swimming. C．One should be ready to take on challenges. D．One must be adequately prepared for it. 4．What may be the best title for the text? A．Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossible B．How to survive a swim in cold waters C．Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause D．How to prepare for extreme swimming Passage 3 (23-24高二上·广东阳江高新区·期末) Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer in his hometown, Alshaa League, North Chin’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region(内蒙古自治区). In 2011, when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues, he saw a plant that he didn’t recognize. Later, Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul (灌木梭梭) tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation (造林) in desert areas. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of desert land, according to Zhu. Zhu quit (辞去) his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a nonprofit organization, the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation, or SEE, in the same year, concentrating on dealing with desertification (沙漠化) .During the past eight years, Zhu has been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia.

The grandma is 94-year-old Wu Mingzhu, called the “queen of melons”, a melon-growing expert and eminent academician. Among Wu Mingzhu’s classmates was Yuan Longping, who later became the “father of hybrid rice”. Wu Mingzhu was born in 1930 into a scholarly family in Wuhan city. After her graduation in 1953, she was assigned to work in Beijing. But Wu had already set her eyes on her long-awaited goal. “What I studied was the science of fruit and vegetables. I wanted to work in the fields not in an office,” said Wu. In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanghai County, Turpan Basin, where working conditions were quite hard. She found that the Hami melon, a rare specialty fruit which was once common in the area, was in danger of becoming extinct if not properly cultivated (种植). Wu spent years visiting over 300 production teams, picking out 44 melon varieties. She overcame a variety of difficulties to produce particularly delicious melons in a scientific way, winning over the local farmers accustomed (习惯的) to folk cultivation methods. Then the promotion area covered most of Xinjiang’s main commodity (商品) areas, and a group of melon-rich villages appeared. From more than 60 years, Wu Mingzhu and her team has cultivated more than 30 varieties, brought the sweetness of melons to people, and promoted the melon series with Chinese characteristics and a complete breeding innovation system to the world. When first hearing her nickname of “a pearl in the Turpan Basin”, Wu said, “In Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me. They have worked hard for decades on the frontline of agriculture. I’m just one of the ordinary ones.” 1．What does the underlined word “eminent” mean in paragraph 1? A．Strict. B．Generous. C．Senior.

C．By providing enough financial assistance. D．By developing high-quality melons scientifically. 4．Which of the following best describes Wu according to the last paragraph? A．Devoted B．Confident C．Promising D．Patient 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了“西瓜女王”吴明珠潜心研究甜瓜60几年，帮助我国实现吃瓜自由。 1．词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“The grandma is 94-year-old Wu Mingzhu, called the “queen of melons”, a melon-growing expert and eminent academician.(这位奶奶是94岁的吴明珠，被称为“瓜王”，是一位甜瓜种植专家和eminent的院士)”可知，她是一位甜瓜种植专家和杰出的院士。所以eminent的意思是“杰出的”。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But Wu had already set her eyes on her long-awaited goal. “What I studied was the science of fruit and vegetables. I wanted to work in the fields not in an office,” said Wu.(但是吴已经将她的目光投向她期待已久的目标。吴说:“我研究的是水果和蔬菜的科学。我想在田间工作，而不是在办公室里”)”可知，吴拒绝在北京的工作是因为她有着期待已久的目标，比起在办公室里工作，她更喜欢在田间工作，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“She overcame a variety of difficulties to produce particularly delicious melons in a scientific way, winning over the local farmers accustomed (习惯的) to folk cultivation methods. Then the promotion area covered most of Xinjiang’s main commodity (商品) areas, and a group of melon-rich villages appeared.(她克服了各种挫折，以科学的方式生产出特别美味的西瓜，赢得了当地习惯民间种植方法的农民的支持。随后，推广区覆盖了新疆80%的主要商品区，出现了一批盛产瓜的村庄)”可知，吴明珠通过以科学的方式产出优质瓜来说服新疆当地人放弃旧的种植方法。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“From more than 60 years, Wu Mingzhu and her team has cultivated more than 30 varieties, brought the sweetness of melons to people, and promoted the melon series with Chinese characteristics and a complete breeding innovation system to the world. (60多年来，吴明珠培育了30多个品种，把甜瓜的甘甜奉献给人民，把具有中国特色的甜瓜系列和完整的育种创新体系推向世界)”可知，60多年来吴明珠致力于培育优质瓜种，故可推知，她是一个全心全意奉献于自己的事业的人。故选A。 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (24-25高二上·广东深圳宝安区·期末) Zheng Qinwen, a rising tennis star in China, began playing tennis at age 7 and quickly became one of the best in her hometown, Shiyan.

Growing up in a Russian family, my fascination with languages grew thanks to my father, a language expert. It’s during a cultural appreciation class in junior high that I was first introduced to the world of Hong Kong films, famous for their characteristic action-packed dramas and storytelling styles. However, what really amazed me was the uniqueness of the language, Cantonese, which sparked a urgent need within me to explore it and the rich culture behind. This marked the beginning of a thrilling linguistic journey. Learning Cantonese posed challenges, such as unfamiliar characters, complex tones, and different grammar structures, yet I persevered. Immersed in textbooks and available online courses, I practiced the tones everyday until my pronunciation flowed naturally. Cantonese dramas and music also played a role in familiarizing me with its rhythm. To truly grasp the essence of Cantonese, I knew that studying alone wasn’t enough — I needed firsthand experience. So, I took a gap year to pack my bags for Hong Kong, a city featuring the lively heartbeat of Cantonese culture. Buried in its busy streets and daily conversations, from casual chats to food ordering, I found myself enveloped in a linguistic wonderland. Within a few months, my Cantonese proficiency flourished, fueling a surge of confidence. My explorations extended beyond the streets. I enrolled in formal language classes that offered professional guidance. Through hard work, I successfully completed all the courses in Cantonese Linguistics. From then on, I’ve been passionately committed to spreading the Cantonese culture, ensuring its richness reaches a wider audience. Today, I continue my Cantonese voyage with unflagging enthusiasm. It has transformed into more than just a linguistic pursuit; it grants me a passport to sincere connections, profound insights, and heartfelt admiration for its one-of-a-kind culture. 1．What motivated the author to start his linguistic journey? A．His father’s intentional arrangement. B．His teacher’s positive encouragement. C．His strong interest in Chinese movies. D．His great passion for cultural exploration. 2．Why did the author head to Hong Kong during the gap year? A．To participate in a language workshop. B．To take a bite of the diverse local food.

The night before, it rained in a few areas, and I could see the excitement around me with many calling their families to say, “It rained in my village!” But this sadly seemed to be an exception. In most areas of the country, farmers have been unable to plant the second rice crop, leading to economic hardship. As I made my way, in the sweltering heat, to visit a secondary school in the rural area in Siem Reap. As I walked from classroom to classroom, I wondered how learning outcomes must be impacted by the heat waves, and what would happen to the ability of children to learn, to play and to progress in school. But what made me excited was learning about the after-school programme on handling environmental challenges. As temperatures are rising, so are children rising to the occasion. Through the life skills training programme, students in Grade 9, learn to analyse problems, learn to work together, learn to find solutions. The programme also helps them to understand the environmental challenges of today’s world and how as young people they can be part of the solution. In the afternoon, I went to see the impact of their work in the field. We had lunch with the community leaders and youth volunteers as well as a 12-year-old student from the school. They showed me what they had done in terms of waste management. The village was clean and green. And the community leader said to me, “I am grateful for this programme.” During the chat I thought young people can be and must be part of the solution. They may not be rainmakers, but they certainly are change makers! 1．What does the author mean by saying the underlined words? A．Lack of rain is bad for planting crop. B．Raining less upsets some Cambodians. C．Cambodia is suffering from drought. D．Some of Cambodians dislike heave rain. 2．What did the author feel when seeing Cambodian students? A．Concerned. B．Full of admiration. C．Annoyed. D．Filled with stress. 3．What is the purpose of setting up the programme? A．To improve the students’ life skills. B．To demonstrate environmental protection. C．To introduce a new method to deal with waste. D．To improve students’ awareness of protecting their environment. 4．What is the main topic of paragraph 5? A．The process of waste management in the village. B．The author’s lunch experience with different people. C．The introduction of the after-school programme in detail. D．The impact of students’ work on the village environment. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 【难度】1.65 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在柬埔寨的所见所闻，包括当地面临的干旱问题以及学生们通过课外项目积极应对环境挑战的情况。 1．词句猜测题。根据上文“The night before, it rained in a few areas, and I could see the excitement around me with many calling their families to say, ‘It rained in my village!’(前一天晚上，一些地区下了雨，我看到周围的人都很兴奋，许多人打电话给家人说，‘我的村子里下雨了！’)”和下文“In most areas of the country, farmers have been unable to plant the second rice crop, leading to economic hardship.(在该国大部分地区，农民无法种植第二季水稻，导致经济困难)”可知，大部分地区没有下雨，农民无法种植第二季水稻，说明柬埔寨正遭受干旱。由此可知，划线句子指的是柬埔寨正在遭受干旱。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“As I walked from classroom to classroom, I wondered how learning outcomes must be impacted by the heat waves, and what would happen to the ability of children to learn, to play and to progress in school.(当我从一间教室走到另一间教室时，我想知道热浪会对学习成果产生怎样的影响，以及孩子们的学习、玩耍和在学校进步的能力会发生什么变化)”可知，作者看到柬埔寨学生时，对他们的学习和生活状况感到担心。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Through the life skills training programme, students in Grade 9, learn to analyse problems, learn to work together, learn to find solutions.

Originally it was the garden of the local police station. When she was 15, during her summer holidays, Joshi decided to do something about it. “I walked into the police station and was like, ‘Can I please clean your garden?’” recalls Joshi. “It took three or four weeks to eventually convince them that I was not going to give up halfway and leave them with more work. ” The plot of land covers an area of 60 square meters, about a quarter of a tennis court. But, over the course of four Sundays in the summer, with help of local residents, Joshi did more than clear it. She replanted it with native Indian plants and trees. Joshi said, “The first day that we cleaned up I made the mistake of not wearing gloves and I was sick for two weeks.” The idea for native planting came from Joshi’s reading on the Miyawaki method of afforestation (植树造林) and the work of University of Delaware ecologist Douglas Tallamy. These both argue that planting the right trees can have a significant impact on restoring insect and animal biodiversity. The results in Mumbai were immediate: monkeys now hang out at the police station, and butterflies and birds have made the garden their home. After creating the garden, Joshi developed a database of 2,000 plants unique to the Indian subcontinent (次大陆) and last year was awarded the annual Children’s Climate prize, founded by Swedish energy company Telge Energi. Her advice for others looking to follow in her footsteps: “If you bite off more than you can chew in the beginning, you will be stuck and lose motivation,” she says. “But something small, like your neighborhood police station, it’s very manageable.” 1．What was the dump before? A．It was the garden of south Mumbai. B．It was the garden of the local school. C．It was the garden of the local police station. D．It was the research center of University of Delaware. 2．What can we learn from Joshi’s words in the second paragraph? A．The garden was too large to clean. B．The cleaning was hard and dangerous. C．Joshi was sick of the cleaning work. D．The work was enjoyable and rewarding. 3．What can we learn from Joshi’s advice in the last paragraph? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. C．Time and tide wait for no man. D．The longest journey starts from the first step. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To demonstrate the environment problems. B．To call on attention to India’s young people. C．To persuade readers to donate to an environment program. D．To advocate a teenager’s efforts in caring about the world. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了阿迪亚·乔希为改善环境所作的努力。 1．细节理解题。由第一段中“For years, twice a day Aadya Joshi walked past a dump filled with smelly rubbish in her neighborhood of south Mumbai on her way to and from school.

But she didn’t know her quiet work would change lives around the world. Gladys West knew from a young age that she didn’t want to be a farmer. But the mathematician, born in 1930 in a county, still had to help harvest crops on her family’s small farm. The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. She hated the dirt but, while she worked, she kept her mind on the building behind the trees at the end of the farm. It was her school, and even then she knew it would be her ticket to freedom. “I was gonna get an education and I was going to get out of there. I wasn’t going to be stuck there all my life,” West, 89, says firmly. Gladys West began her career as a mathematician in 1956 in a lab where there were only three other black employees when she joined. She was widely admired for her ability to solve complex mathematical problems by hand. She eventually went on to program computers to solve the equations (等式) for her. Her first major project was to determine the movements of Neptune and Pluto in relation to each other. In 1978, Gladys became the Project Manager of SeaSat, an surveillance (监控) satellite designed to provide data on oceanographic features and conditions. The project was among the first to show that satellites can be used to observe oceanographic data. By programming a computer to account for tides, gravity, and other factors, Gladys and her team created a program to precisely calculate the orbit of satellites. Her work on this project made it possible to develop a geoid, which is a model of the shape of the Earth. The model and its later updates led to her developing the GPS system, which can make accurate calculations in any location on Earth. Finally in 2018, through her tireless efforts, Gladys West received formal recognition for her work on the GPS. Her name also got featured on the BBC’s 100 Women of 2018, which honored inspiring women from around the globe. 1．What can we learn in paragraph 2? A．Gladys became a mathematician when working as a farmer. B．Gladys had to raise her family by working hard on the farm. C．Gladys was eager to get out of the poor situation for freedom.

Baker, a painter, has long understood the benefits of biophilic (热爱自然的) design. Having suffered a breakdown 10 years ago, Baker found that drawing flowers was the only way to lift his spirit. It was around this time that Baker met Borowski, and joined her production company as a creative director. The pair have worked together ever since launching Graphic Rewilding in 2021. Since then, they’ve decorated many buildings at locations including Earl’s Court station, Lewes Castle and Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd’s Bush—all hand drawn by Baker. “We love galleries, but we focus on public art. This way, our work is out there for everyone to enjoy,” Baker says. The pair believe that flowers have serious power, even when they're not real. “We know that spending time in nature is good for us, but studies show that even pictures of plants have a positive effect on the mind,” says Baker. He discovers from the research that images of plants in hospital waiting rooms can help reduce feelings of stress inpatients. Even so, they admit that art is no match for Mother Nature. “Some people expressed concern that our project might hurt real rewilding efforts. But both can coexist,” says Borowski. “Of course, we want more green space. But we aren’t gardeners. We’re artists. In the absence of nature, we want to create inspiring spaces through art.” Overall, the response has been hugely positive. “The joy that these artworks bring is evident,” says Borowski, highlighting an early project in Crawley, West Sussex, where they painted brick walls, billboards, benches and even bins. “There were so many smiling faces,” she says. “Putting art into a place that previously felt unloved feels like developing joy where there was none.” 1．What is the Graphic Rewilding project aimed at? A．Bringing cities to life through art. B．Promoting people’s appreciation of art. C．Promoting biodiversity in urban areas. D．Raising people’s eco-friendly awareness. 2．What led Baker to fall in love with biophilic design? A．His working experience in the wild. B．His research on the benefits of plants. C．A collaboration with Catherine Borowski. D．A comforting experience of drawing flowers. 3．What distinguishes Graphic Rewilding from gallery exhibitions? A．It gives access to everyone B．It creates hand-drawn designs. C．It focuses on famous buildings. D．It expressed itself more artistically. 4．How do most people react to the pair’s artworks?

When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd. The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth took Noah to an eye doctor, Noah was diagnosed with retinal (视网膜) cancer with the white reflection as a sign. He endured months of treatment, but it was too late. Noah’s cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. “By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25percent of the pictures taken of him per month,” Bryan recalled. Later, Bryan was determined to put his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo of Noah. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with the same cancer. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (眼底镜). Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s Apple Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.” 1．Why did Bryan and Elizabeth take pictures of Noah? A．To record his growth. B．To celebrate his birth. C．To test their digital camera. D．To collect evidence of eye diseases. 2．Which word can best describe Bryan’s feelings in paragraph 3? A．Terrified. B．Regretful. C．Lonely. D．Exhausted. 3．What can the app do to help? A．It serves as a detector. B．It presents expert advice. C．It saves photos on users’ phones. D．It provides a worldwide database. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．How a boy lost his eye. B．How a new app works. C．How a father saved his son. D．How an app came into being. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个关于视网膜癌症检测的智能手机应用程序的开发和应用。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born.(像几乎所有的新父母一样，布莱恩和伊丽莎白·肖从他们的儿子诺亚出生的那一刻起就开始给他拍照)”可推知，从诺亚出生就开始拍照片，是为了记录他的成长。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“Noah’s cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed.(诺亚的癌症如果发现得早是可以治愈的。布莱恩·肖想知道他是否错过了什么迹象)”可知，布莱恩认为自己错过了早些时候的一些迹象，因此错过了治疗时机。由此，可推理出他很后悔。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (眼底镜).(有了这些数据，他开始与同事合作开发一款智能手机应用程序，该应用程序可以扫描用户相机胶卷中的照片，以搜索白眼，并可以用作一种眼底镜)”可知，这个app可以扫描相册并且作为眼底镜来发现症状，即该应用程序起到了探测器的作用。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文尤其最后一段““I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.”(“我一直告诉自己，我真的需要这样做，”布莱恩说。“这种疾病很难发现。这个软件不仅可以拯救视力，还可以拯救生命。”)”可知，本文主要讲述了由于未能及时发现迹象，错失儿子的治疗时机后，父亲积极研发app帮助他人的大爱故事。故选D项。 主题06 人与自然——环境保护 Passage 1 (23-24高二上·广东肇庆·期末) After most people complete their undergraduate degree, they either take a break or jump into a job. Few, like Brianna Craft, set out to save the world. It started when she was a freshman sitting in an environmental studies class in 2006. Craft was shocked when the professor described the harm climate change was having on people. She records the moment in her new book, Everything That Rises: A Climate Change Memoir. After graduation, Craft spent a year in AmeriCorps, focusing on protecting the environment. AmeriCorps is an organization connecting individuals and organizations to help communities tackle their toughest challenges. “That helped me figure out that my future was not in doing science,” she says. Instead, she wanted to work with people and policy. She then had an opportunity to attend the UN climate negotiations (磋商). That, in turn, prepared her for her current role as a senior researcher at the London-based International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). Her focus is to ensure that the lowest contributors to greenhouse gases and those most affected by climate change have a voice in international climate negotiations. For five years, Craft attended and supported climate conferences around the world, leading to the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015. Craft says, “I wanted people to care about the work I did in the climate negotiations, and why we pushed so hard to form this agreement.” That led her to write Everything That Rises: A Climate Change Memoir. Craft brings the viewpoint of an African American woman from a rural northwest community. She weaves (编织) together several storylines-including her difficult childhood with an irresponsible parent, her self-discovery in college and her work to help work towards climate agreements and ensure that even the smallest countries have a voice. 1．What motivated Craft to work on climate change? A．A course. B．A book. C．A scientist. D．A program. 2．How did the experience in AmeriCorps help Craft? A．She made achievements. B．She fell in love with science. C．She got inspiration for her book. D．She was clearer about her career path. 3．What does Craft do as a senior researcher at the IIED? A．She promotes equal rights to speak among countries. B．She focuses on removing greenhouse gases in London. C．She ensures climate negotiations are the UN’s top priority. D．She speaks for the countries producing the most greenhouse gases. 4．Which of the following words best describes Craft’s job? A．Boring. B．Risky. C．Fruitful. D．Well-paid. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 1．细节理解题。根据第二段的“It started when she was a freshman sitting in an environmental studies class in 2. Craft was shocked when the professor described the harm climate change was having on people. She records the moment in her new book, Everything That Rises: A Climate Change Memoir.( 2006年，她还是一名大一新生，坐在一门环境研究课上。当教授描述气候变化对人类的危害时，克拉夫特感到震惊。她在她的新书《崛起的一切：气候变化回忆录》中记录了这一时刻。)”和第三段“After graduation, Craft spent a year in AmeriCorps, focusing on protecting the environment.(毕业后，克拉夫特在美国服务队呆了一年，专注于保护环境。)”可知，一门课程激励Craft致力于天气变化。故选A。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段的“AmeriCorps is an organization connecting individuals and organizations to help communities tackle their toughest challenges. “That helped me figure out that my future was not in doing science,” she says. Instead, she wanted to work with people and policy.(美国志愿队是一个将个人和组织联系起来，帮助社区应对最严峻挑战的组织。“这让我明白，我的未来不是做科学，”她说。相反，她想与人民和政策打交道。)”可知，在美国志愿队的经历让克拉夫对于自己的事业之路更加清晰。故选D。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段的“That, in turn, prepared her for her current role as a senior researcher at the London-based International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). Her focus is to ensure that the lowest contributors to greenhouse gases and those most affected by climate change have a voice in international climate negotiations.(这反过来又为她现在担任伦敦国际环境与发展研究所(IIED)高级研究员的角色做好了准备。她的重点是确保温室气体排放最少的国家和受气候变化影响最严重的国家在国际气候谈判中有发言权。)”可知，克拉夫作为伦敦国际环境与发展研究所(IIED)高级研究员工作的重点是提倡国家间的平等发言权。故选A。 1．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For five years, Craft attended and supported climate conferences around the world, leading to the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2. Craft says, “I wanted people to care about the work I did in the climate negotiations, and why we pushed so hard to form this agreement.” That led her to write Everything That Rises: A Climate Change Memoir.( 五年来，克拉夫特参加并支持了世界各地的气候会议，并于2015年签署了《巴黎协定》。克拉夫特说:“我希望人们关心我在气候谈判中所做的工作，以及我们为什么如此努力地达成这项协议。”这让她写出了《崛起的一切：气候变化回忆录》。”可推断，克拉夫工作成就硕果累累。故选C。 Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东揭阳揭东区·期末) On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and Speedo ! Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystems with their large diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn't wear a wetsuit(防寒泳衣), Pugh says, "I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If I'm asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message." It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius. He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal. Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim. This is not the first time that Pugh has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica's Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there. 1．Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuits ? A．To show his bravery. B．To swim faster. C．To build up his body. D．To have overnight fame. 2．What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to'? A．His body temperature. B．His body C．The water. D．The water temperature. 3．What's Pugh's advice about swimming in freezing waters? A．One should be expert at swimming. B．One must be used to long-distance swimming. C．One should be ready to take on challenges. D．One must be adequately prepared for it. 4．What may be the best title for the text? A．Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossible B．How to survive a swim in cold waters C．Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause D．How to prepare for extreme swimming 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了刘易斯·普格为了呼吁各国领导人采取行动保护海洋，在南极冰冷的水域完成了不穿防寒泳衣游泳一公里的壮举。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When asked why he doesn't wear a wetsuit(防寒泳衣), Pugh says, "I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If I'm asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message."”（当被问及为何不穿防寒泳衣时，普格说：“我要求世界各国领导人尽一切努力保护我们的海洋。有时，他们需要采取的措施既困难又不受欢迎。如果我要求他们勇敢，我也必须勇敢。穿着防寒泳衣游泳并不能传达这种信息”）可知，普格不穿防寒泳衣在冰冷的海水中游泳是为了展示他的勇敢，故A项正确。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词前的“He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters”可知，他说他的身体在冰冷的水中只能忍受大约20分钟，此处承接上文，是说20分钟后他的身体就会被冻僵，动弹不得，由此可知划线词指代的就是“他的身体”，故B项正确。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters.”（医生和普格警告说，要在如此寒冷的水域游泳，必须接受数月的训练）可知，普格建议人们在冰冷的海水中游泳之前要做好充分的准备，故D项正确。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica.”（11月7日，刘易斯·普格在南极洲南乔治亚州附近的爱德华王湾冰冷的海水中完成了一公里的游泳）及第二段中的“Pugh says, "I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If I'm asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message."”（普格说：“我要求世界各国领导人尽一切努力保护我们的海洋。有时，他们需要采取的措施既困难又不受欢迎。如果我要求他们勇敢，我也必须勇敢。穿着防寒泳衣游泳并不能传达这种信息”）可知，本文主要讲述了刘易斯·普格为了呼吁各国领导人采取行动保护海洋，在南极冰冷的水域完成了不穿防寒泳衣游泳一公里的壮举。这篇文章最好的题目是“刘易斯·普格：为了一个目标而游泳”，故C项正确。 Passage 3 (23-24高二上·广东阳江高新区·期末) Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer in his hometown, Alshaa League, North Chin’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region(内蒙古自治区). In 2011, when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues, he saw a plant that he didn’t recognize. Later, Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul (灌木梭梭) tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation (造林) in desert areas. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of desert land, according to Zhu. Zhu quit (辞去) his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a nonprofit organization, the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation, or SEE, in the same year, concentrating on dealing with desertification (沙漠化) .During the past eight years, Zhu has been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia. In 2014, the SEE launched a project titled “one million saxaul trees”, aiming to reach that number from 2014 to 2023, turning the desert of more than 133, 330 hectares (公顷) back into a satisfying ecosystem. By the end of 2018, half of the organization’s goal had been achieved. In 2016, Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform, not only encouraging people to choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping, traveling and living, but also to help control desertification. Through the participation of a greater number of online users, who grow virtual trees, the SEE Foundation, set up in 2008, has been providing subsidies (补助金) for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas. Now, Zhu is the head of the foundation’s project to fight desertification. He also gives lectures about saxaul trees and the fight against desertification at schools, hoping to raise awareness among young people. 1．What did Zhu Dejun do first after graduation? A．Here searched on saxaul trees. B．He joined a nonprofit organization. C．He found ways to fight desertification. D．He focused on road design engineering. 2．Why are saxual trees planted by Zhu’s team? A．They are easily taken care of. B．They can grow fast in deserts. C．They are perfect for holding water. D．They can fight desertification effectively. 3．What did SEE do to control desertification? A．They teamed up with Ant Finance. B．They planted one million saxaul trees. C．They held online lectures on desertification. D．They encouraged donation from online users. 4．How can online users help Zhu’s team? A．By providing subsidies. B．By raising awareness. C．By planting trees online. D．By offering technological support. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了朱德军以及他的同事们种植灌木梭梭，努力对抗沙漠化，保护环境的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer in his hometown, Alshaa League, North Chin’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region.(朱德军大学毕业后的第一份工作是在他的家乡内蒙古自治区阿尔沙盟当道路设计工程师)”可知，朱德军毕业后专注于道路设计工程。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Zhu quit his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a nonprofit organization, the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation, or SEE, in the same year, concentrating on dealing with desertification.(朱于2014年辞去了设计院的工作，同年加入了一个非营利组织——企业家与生态保护协会，专注于应对沙漠化)”可知，朱的团队种植灌木梭梭是为了有效地防治沙漠化。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In 2016, Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform, not only encouraging people to choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping, traveling and living, but also to help control desertification.(2016年，蚂蚁金服与SEE合作推出了蚂蚁森林平台，不仅鼓励人们选择“低碳的购物、旅行和生活方式”，还帮助控制沙漠化)”可知，他们与蚂蚁金服合作来控制沙漠化。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Through the participation of a greater number of online users, who grow virtual trees, the SEE Foundation, set up in 2008, has been providing subsidies for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas. (通过更多种植虚拟树木的在线用户的参与，SEE基金会成立于2008年，一直在为当地牧民和农民提供补贴，同时也为在沙漠地区种植灌木梭梭提供技术支持)”可知，在线用户可以通过在线植树来帮助朱的团队。故选C项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
