专题05 阅读理解（ 议论文+新闻报道） 主题01 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 (24-25高二上·广东深圳宝安区·期末) Anne of Green Gables is a book written by the popular writer Lucy Maud Montgomery. It has been loved by many generations of readers because its story is warm and the characters are so lively. When you start reading it, it feels like you go to the beautiful Prince Edward Island in Canada. On this island, there lives Anne Shirley, an orphan girl. She is very creative but also feels lonely sometimes. Anne often has some unique and imaginative ideas. For example, she can turn an ordinary tea party into a magical adventure just by using her own ideas. She also likes to share her stories and thoughts with others. This makes the people around her very happy. The story starts with Anne being adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. They actually wanted to adopt a boy to help with farm work, but they got Anne by mistake. However, Anne brings a lot of active energy to their lives. One great thing about this novel is that it shows how Anne changes and grows. The author shows Anne’s journey from childhood to young adulthood through her different experiences, like making friends, falling in love, and dealing with loss. This story can not only entertain readers but also teach them some valuable lessons about life. What’s more, it tells us that learning is not just about schoolwork. It also includes growing morally and emotionally. We can clearly see this from Anne’s experiences. Her getting along with her new family and community, together with her teachers’ patience, her friends’ friendship, and her adoptive family’s love, all help her grow. This shows the importance of education in daily life and relationships. The author also writes about the change in Anne’s attitude. She used to care a lot about her appearance. But later, she learned to accept her own uniqueness. This is shown in the words: “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” These words show her happiness with simple things in life and her joy of being herself. Readers all around the world like this novel because it has a lasting appeal. In a recent survey, more than 80% of readers said they were deeply touched by Anne’s story. Mark Twain said Anne was “the dearest and most delightful child since Alice.” Some scholars like Zhou Guoping have noticed that Anne has two precious qualities: a sense of wonder about life and an optimistic imagination. Bianca Schulze, the founder of The Children’s Book Review, says that readers are closely connected to Anne’s spirit of perseverance and optimism. This can really give people inspiration. When I close the book, the vivid scenery of Prince Edward Island and the deep thoughts about human nature and life remain in my mind. Like Anne, each of us has dreams and also faces difficulties. We all hope to find a place where we belong. This novel teaches us how to face life. Even when reality makes us feel a little down, we should not be afraid. Just as Anne might say, “Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” This message makes the book very valuable for anyone who starts their journey of self-discovery. 1．What makes Anne of Green Gables popular among readers?

Yet, as my collection expands at an alarming rate, I can’t help worrying about sinking into debt and reflecting on it. Collectors each have their own beginnings. Take Judy, for instance. As a child, she had to visit her grandmother weekly. Feeling bored, she played with her grandmother’s jewelry. Now, she’s passionate about collecting antique earrings and necklaces. Sam, another collector, found comfort and joy in colorful clowns (小丑) during his challenging childhood, and now he’s crazy about all things clown-related, from posters and books to lunchboxes and beyond. “Collecting provides a goal, a safe space and a focus for the mind,” a collector shares. “Once you get off the beaten track to enter an unexplored world, where the most interesting stuff is, other people just don’t understand. So it becomes your private world.” For collectors, it’s a personal hunt that keeps them searching late into the night, ignoring the social media distractions. They know exactly what they seek and go to the trouble to acquire it. However, some people regard such collecting behavior far from reasonable. They argue that collecting so many items is a total waste of time and money. Moreover, these items will just gather dust, displayed like aged beauty queens waiting to be admired once more, not to mention the space they’ll take up. Actually, collections are more than just objects. Collections can be a way to connect with history and fame. To own a piece of history that has been touched by someone famous can be a form of time travel, allowing collectors to dive into the past through their collections. Collections can also be a mirror reflecting the personality and identity of the collector. It’s a hobby that can be as simple or as complex as one wishes, but it always offers the excitement of the hunt and the satisfaction of adding another piece to one’s collection. 1．What might be a common reason for beginning a collection? A．Beauty goals. B．Growth challenges. C．Family traditions. D．Childhood experiences. 2．What do the underlined words “the beaten track” mean in paragraph 3? A．The conventional way. B．The unsafe path. C．The unfamiliar world. D．The interesting place. 3．Why are the aged beauty queens mentioned in paragraph 4? A．To highlight the appeal of collecting. B．To display the quantity of collections. C．To question the behaviour of collecting. D．To doubt the choice of collections. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The history of collecting. B．The value of collections. C．The instructions for collecting. D．The personalities of collectors. Passage 2 (24-25高二上·广东深圳龙岗区·期末) Maths anxiety is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, concerned about the situation and hoping to find ways to deal with it, wrote a little book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. For a mathematician like myself, the pleasure of reading his book is followed by a sigh of regret that the topic is as important today as it was a century ago. Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a basic misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation (计算) may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculation proves that maths skills and mathematics aren’t the same thing. What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the problem is that we are often stuck in the “science” box. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we might stop fearing the calculations supporting it. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality (普遍性) of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. As an art, the beauty of maths lies in the wonderful thinking that allows us to understand the endless, explore the beautiful patterns of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of ideas. Focusing entirely on calculation skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from discovering patterns and understanding them, from seeing the artistic beauty of mathematics. Some experts like to point out that we experience anxiety the same way we experience excitement. In the same way, fear can be negative or positive. Our goal should be to move people from a narrow view of mathematics as mere calculations to an appreciation of it as a beautiful language and art that inspires amazement. 1．What does the author think of the book by Auerbach according to paragraph 1? A．It overstates the fear of maths. B．It addresses a common problem. C．It is too old to be important today. D．It is popular among mathematicians. 2．What is the reason behind people’s fear of mathematics? A．Inability to do calculations. B．Lack of support from teachers. C．Failure to understand its nature. D．Difficulty of the math language. 3．In what way can we regard mathematics as an art? A．Through focusing on technical skills. B．Through creating artworks with delight. C．Through exploring applications in science. D．Through appreciating its beauty in patterns. 4．What does the passage suggest we do regarding learning maths? A．Express our fear. B．Seek experts’ help. C．Change our opinion. D．Learn a new language. Passage 3 (24-25高二上·广东珠海·期末) “It’s somewhat surreal,” Minnie Payne, a 90-year-old woman, said upon earning her master’s degree and becoming the oldest documented student to complete coursework at the University of North Texas (UNT). Prior to Payne, Elmer Kretzschmar, a 97-year-old, was the only individual at UNT to have received a degree at such an advanced age. Kretzschmar received his master’s in education in 2009, having completed his coursework 30 years earlier in the 1970s. Born to workers, Payne grew up in a small South Carolina town where there was only one cinema, one drugstore, one gas station, and one grocery store. She graduated from high school in 1950 and then started to work to support her family. Over the course of her life, Payne held various jobs, including being a saleswoman, a temporary teacher, and a word processor. However, she always had a desire to pursue university. Therefore, in her late 60s, she registered at Texas Woman’s University and obtained her bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in general studies in 2006. This led to her continuing academic journey at UNT. During her time at UNT, she took many online courses, which eventually switched to in-person meetings. She wasn’t able to make the in-person classes and ended up facing a challenge. Fortunately, her former adviser suggested an alternative path, allowing her to earn her master’s degree by focusing on different things. She chose writing, which she has always had a love for. Studying at UNT was challenging but Payne succeeded after spending many all-nighters and committing a significant amount of time to her studies. And she’s not done yet. “I have achieved a significant milestone, but I feel that I still have plenty of rewarding moments ahead,” she said. “I intend to work until the very end because if I’m not pursuing, something worthwhile or helping others, I won’t be a happy camper.” 1．Why does the author mention Kretzschmar? A．To highlight Payne’s uniqueness. B．To indicate Kretzschmar’s hard work. C．To analyze the two students’ similarity. D．To introduce another excellent graduate. 2．What might the background information imply about young Payne? A．She lacked university ambition then: B．She possessed superb teaching skills. C．Jobs were easy to find in those days. D．Universities were inaccessible to her. 3．What caused Payne to be in a difficult situation while studying at UNT? A．Failure to attend classes. B．Suffering from a disease. C．Too many online courses. D．Choosing a different path. 4．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? A．Her deep-seated habit. B．Her intention of working hard. C．Her hard-earned success. D．Her pursuit of a meaningful life. Passage 4 (23-24高二上·广东汕头澄海区·期末) In a post shared on Twitter last Monday, the woman, Amy Clukey, explained that her dad, Rick, a beekeeper, died of lung cancer about nine years ago. But, before passing away, he wrote a note that he hoped one of his children would later find, and finally after so long, her little brother, who is now 16 years old, found it in his father’s beekeeping clothes. The note said, “I hope one of my children is curious about beekeeping. Beekeeping is actually pretty easy and you can learn everything online. Bees make more products than just honey; it can be a source of extra income. So don’t be afraid, have courage. Good luck. Love Dad.” The bee population in 2019 consisted primarily of wild bees, and North Dakota has the highest honey production with over 38 million pounds. Clukey explained that her father bought a farm when he was in his 40s, and it was then that he took up beekeeping and other hobbies like raising cattle and horses. She added, “When he was diagnosed (诊断) with stage 4 lung cancer, the doctors told him that he had 18 months to live. He was a fighter: He lived 5 years and a week after his diagnosis.” The post has attracted a lot of readers on the platform and has received over 42,800 likes, 2,333 comments, and 749,000 re-shares in less than 24 hours, and in the comments, the woman added that while she doesn’t do beekeeping herself, two of her brothers are interested in it. One user commented, “I lost my dad in 2018. This post makes me cry.” And another user said, “My dad is in the last few weeks of his life battling cancer. I’ll come back to the post in a couple of months when I need it again.” And one also shared the story of her personal loss, writing, “I lost my husband half a year ago.

They get to travel to different places, meet different people, and share their thoughts with a large audience. Peng Yixuan, studying digital media at the Communication University of China, has been a video journalist at China Daily for almost five years. Peng is well-known for her vlogs recording big national events and taking the audience along for the ride. But the process of his becoming a famous vlogger was quite accidental. “When I came up with the idea of recording two sessions in the form of a vlog with just my phone in 2019, the others on my team felt unsure about it,” Peng said. “But we decided to give it a try, and it went viral.” Compared with traditional media journalists, those in new media are “almighty (全能的)”. “From Script (脚本) writing to video editing, we need to be competitive in each step of the video-making process,” Peng said. “We also need to react fast to the latest news and think of what young people are curious about. Bringing the serious-natured national event closer to ordinary people is what I believe to be the reason for success. Also, it’s important to “care”. Peng said that only when you actually care about the people and the topic you are covering will you make the interviewees open up and touch the hearts of your audience. “I’m an ENFP-an extroverted (外向的) person. I’m always curious about the lives of others and want to engage with them,” she said. Once, Peng tried to interview an ambassador. She saw him reject many journalists before her. “I knew I couldn’t simply ask him to do the interview.” Instead, she said, “Your outfit is so cool! Are these traditional clothes from your country?” That’s what got him to start talking to her. Peng’s job makes her see the necessity and power of international communication. “I can feel the changes in Chinese media over the past few decades,” Peng said. “We went from telling stories from abroad to telling the world our stories. As a journalist, it’s my honour to be a part of it.” 1．What do we know about Peng Yixuan? A．She starts her journalist career this year. B．She is only good at video editing skills. C．She always seeks interactions with others. D．She was sure that her vlog would go viral. 2．Which is NOT the reason for Peng’s success? A．News-audience engagement. B．Timely capture of latest news. C．High writing and editing skill. D．Curiosity towards young people. 3．Why did Peng Yixuan tell the story of interviewing an ambassador? A．To show she is an outgoing and careful person. B．To illustrate the importance of care in interviewing. C．To prove she has more advantages than other journalists. D．To show she likes communicating and engaging with people. 4．Which can be a suitable title for the text A．How to become a journalist B．A new journalist and v logger C．Reporting with her own style D．Peng went viral in new media 主题02 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (23-24高二上·广东惠州·期末) When I was younger, I faced one obstacle, the divorce (离婚) of my parents. I wanted to know why my mother left and no longer lived in my house, but I was not able to understand exactly what had happened. Puzzles became my escape as I knew that all puzzles have an answer; they had unknowingly become a large part of my childhood as they made sense to me unlike what was going on in my life. My love for puzzles led me to buying a Rubik’s cube (魔方) after I saw my friend solve his own. In the beginning, I was unable to follow the guide that came with the first Rubik’s cube I bought, but then I searched up a tutorial online and learned by watching. Using my skill of memory, I was able to remember possible patterns that the Rubik’s cube could be after each step. After I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube and learned that it could be solved many ways, I never got tired of solving it, because there were so many combinations that every time I mixed it up, there was a different solution. My outlook of the world changed, as I realized that there is not one concrete solution to everything, but multiple solutions. Being able to see things differently, the ways I solved some problems with multiple solutions were uncommon among my classmates. My 10th grade math teacher had acknowledged this when he wrote a comment on my test, saying he had not thought about solving a problem the way I had solved it. I gained a new perspective in approaching the challenges of life. The obstacles that we encounter throughout our lifetime are preparation in order for us to solve the everlasting mystery of life. 1．What were the puzzles for the author at the beginning? A．A replacement for friends. B．A way to understand parents. C．A solution to the mysteries of life. D．A distraction from parents’ divorce. 2．Why was the author addicted to solving the Rubik’s cube? A．For the joy in the process. B．For the achievements in learning. C．For the possibility to different solutions. D．For the praise from teachers and classmates. 3．What did the author learn from solving the Rubik’s cube? A．Hard work pays off. B．Rome isn’t built in one day. C．Failure is the mother of success. D．There is more than one way to go in life. 4．What does the author think of the obstacles in life? A．They make life more challenging. B．They prepare people for life puzzles. C．They test people’s problem-solving skills. D．They prevent people from finding solutions. Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东汕头潮阳区·期末) Called the “Daughter of Dunhuang”, Chinese archaeologist Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her outstanding contribution to the protection of the Dunhuang Mogao Caves. Fan Jinshi’s story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, was assigned to work at the Mogao Caves, a place she had been longing to explore. Though her father was concerned about her health and tried to get her reassigned to a different place, Fan boarded a train and headed to the remote west. “Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was absolutely breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize inside the caves is a world of exceptional beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and endless yellow earth,” Fan said. Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the caves to do research, trying whatever they could to protect and restore them. In 2011, after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves compiled (汇编) by Fan’s team was finally published, which was China’s first academic report on cave archaeology. As time passed, Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing murals (壁画) to blur (变模糊) and colors to fade. In 1980s, Fan got to know computer technology by accident. She realized this might be the chance to preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world. “In my entire life, I’ve only done one thing: safeguard and promote the world cultural heritage — the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.” 1．What can we learn about Fan from the article?

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan on Wednesday reported that the total fertility rate, which is the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime, fell to 1.20, continuously dropping for the eighth year. The number of babies born in Japan in 2023 dropped by 43,482 from the year of 2022 to 727,277, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1899. Meanwhile, the number of deaths rose by 6,886 from the year of 2022, reaching a record high of 1,575,936. The number of marriages also fell, dropping by 30,213 from the year of 2022 to 474,717, the lowest since World War II. Late marriages and financial concerns are often regarded as reasons for the declining (下滑的) birthrate. Officials said that various factors, such as economic instability and the challenge of balancing work and childcare, jointly led to the critical situation. To address the declining birthrate, Japan passed a law on Wednesday that expands monthly child allowances (补贴) and parental leave. Starting in the year of 2026, this new child-rearing support will be funded by higher monthly health insurance fees. Key changes include extending child allowance coverage from age 15 to age 18 and removing the income limit for parents and guardians. Additionally, the monthly allowance for a third or subsequent child will be doubled to 30,000 yen ($192) , with these changes set to take effect in a few months. Other measures include increased benefits for parents taking childcare leave and expanded daycare services for children, regardless of their parents’ employment (就业) status. 1．How many babies were born in Japan in 2022? A．474,717. B．727,277. C．770,759. D．1,575,936. 2．What is the main topic of Paragraph 3? A．Fall of the number of marriages. B．Causes of the declining birthrate. C．Effects of the declining birthrate. D．Challenge of balancing work and childcare. 3．How can parents who have a third child benefit from the new measures? A．They will be supplied with free milk powder. B．They will be provided with low-rent housing. C．They will get a higher monthly allowance. D．They will get more monthly salaries. 4．What is the best title for the news report? A．Japan passes new law to increase birthrate B．Daycare services for children expanded in Japan C．More young Japanese people unwilling to marry D．Number of deaths in Japan reaches a record high Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东河源市·期末) The reference desk staff at Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s public libraries are proud of themselves for answering their customers’ questions. The best recipe, the history of zydeco, the number of times the LSU Tigers football team has been to the Cotton Bowl. Even in this age of Google and Siri, there’s no shortage of questions. “We’re in the information business,” says Patricia Husband, assistant branch library director. Then came the flooding of 2016. Suddenly the questions became more urgent (紧急的). People wanted to know how to contact Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance, where to get help paying bills, even where to find a homeless shelter. Some visitors seemed to need much more than what the library’s reference sources could give them. They needed someone who could spend more time with them, advise them on whom to call for assistance and what documents and information they’d need. The library turned to Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge (VOAGBR), a nonprofit it had worked with in the past. At VOAGBR, they’re all about addressing the very concerns people were asking about — assistance with affordable housing, a drop-in center for the homeless, therapists who work with families in crisis, programs for seniors. They were committed to helping those who were called “the least of these”. A 90-day pilot program (试点项目) was launched in the spring of 2017. Three evenings a week, VOAGBR would send caseworkers to three library branches. The pilot program was extended for an entire year. In its first six months at the library branches, VOAGBR helped 248 people it might not have otherwise reached. There were also programs like Ask a Lawyer, where a lawyer gives free legal advice once a month. There are a lot of books in Baton Rouge’s libraries — full of information, guidance, wisdom and entertainment — but the help that VOAGBR offers there is right out of people’s heart. 1．What is the aim of paragraph 1? A．To indicate staff’s work is hard. B．To prove the library is people’s pride. C．To show the good service of the library. D．To introduce the great number of books. 2．What was a problem facing the library during the flood? A．Its reference sources lessened. B．The books in it were destroyed. C．Too many people rushed in for shelter. D．It couldn’t provide all information people needed. 3．What can we know about VOAGBR? A．It offered aid to the needy. B．It was set up in 2017. C．It was a library branch. D．It was a 90-day pilot program. 4．What can be inferred about the pilot program? A．It changed into an academic one. B．It benefited people a lot. C．It advertised VOAGBR in the world. D．It helped the sufferers with its profits. Passage 3 (23-24上·广东大湾区·期末) At six o’clock sharp the curtain rises. Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, Nevada, look to the stage. Dozens of costumed actors break out into the drama—The Lion King. This is not a typical production. The cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. Children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini. “I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current circumstance doesn’t have to be their future. If they are determined they can do anything they want.” She was born prematurely, weighing 1.25 pounds, which was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. She had open-heart operation at two weeks old. Doctors predicted she’d be in the hospital for five months. She came home in nine weeks. Her very name (pronounced “Nah-SY-ah”) means “magic” in Hebrew. Nasya quickly proved a big talent for acting. At six she was spotted by an acting coach. Nasya once told her friends, “I’m going to be an actor. One day I’m going to be a star.” Some higher graders said, “You? You’re a small fry. You’re not even pretty.” Later, one popular girl said, “I can play better than you. And if you’re not better than me, then how can you be an actor? Give. It. Up.” Later, she entered the Volunteers of America shelter center. She learned there were more than 300 people living there and many children were even mistreated and lost their confidence. Nasya was stunned. “I was so blessed that I didn’t realize how blessed I was!” she says. “I’m healthy, have wonderful parents, a great home. I couldn’t believe how many homeless children there were right in my own backyard.” Long after Nasya won the title of Miss Northern Counties Outstanding Teen, she has stayed committed to the kids at the Volunteers of America shelter. At each class she reminds the kids, “Believe in yourself. The world is your stage.” 1．Which of the following can best describe Nasya? A．Good-mannered and brave. B．Self-centered and mature.

The collage combines various styles and themes, reflecting the artist’s daily thoughts and observations. The sale was made possible thanks to non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFT is a unique piece of code that acts like a certificate to prove the work is genuine, so it can be bought or sold like physical paintings. These codes make someone the official owners of the digital artwork. In 2021, more than $15.7 billion was spent on NFTs. Is digital art the future? According to digital artists, NFTs represent the next step in art history. They believe that art develops according to the tools available to them. Embracing (拥抱) digital methods could lead to exciting new works that would never have been possible in the past. Plus, the art world can be exclusive (排他的), with paintings only on show at certain galleries. Digital art gives more people the chance to enjoy art. It also grabs the attention of the buyers. Collectors of digital artworks, as well as investors, have pumped billions of dollars into NFT-related artworks. One famous collector says, “Can NFTs be a breakthrough in the art market? That is a most definite yes. From streaming services to e-sports, the world is becoming more digital. Why should art be different?” He believes that most buyers are driven by admiration, “Artists can make beautiful pieces on their computers. These pieces should be as valuable as physical paintings.” For opponents, digital arts are nothing but a short-lived fashion and will never replace the real thing. Art traditionalists believe that even though people can’t touch most artworks, they are meant to be seen up close. A digital art displayed on a computer screen will never match the experience of walking through a gallery. Even worse, the technology behind it is bad for the environment. NFTs rely on a network of computers that have to be running at all times to process information. This uses up a lot of power and it’s a big source of greenhouse gas emissions, which are the primary cause of climate change. Many collectors are also concerned about the stability (稳定性) of the value, because owning a line of computer codes is not the same as owning a painting. 1．What makes the sale of digital artworks possible? A．The thoughts and observations. B．The high demand for digital art. C．The use of non-fungible tokens. D．The artist’s reputation and fame. 2．According to the famous collector, why will NFTs be a breakthrough in the art market? A．Modern digital methods would lead to more exciting new works. B．NFTs provide people with more opportunities to enjoy art. C．Going digital is the unavoidable trend of the modern world. D．Collectors and investors have pumped lots of money in the market. 3．Which of the following might the opponents agree with? A．Digital artworks will make a lot of profits for galleries. B．The power that NFTs require will do harm to our planet. C．Digital artworks are intended to be fashionable and stable. D．Digital art-serves as a short-lived replacement for real art. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．The world’s most expensive piece of digital art. B．Codes called NFTs that act like certificates in sale. C．The future that digital artworks are going up for sale. D．The debate caused by the NFT-related artworks. Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东部分学校·期末) For many runners, a marathon can often be a challenge—but sometimes what gets a runner through the tough 26.2 miles is looking out into the crowd and seeing his or her loved one holding up a sign and shouting words of encouragement. For one mom, though, her loved one was a bit more hands-on. While running the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City, Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker and mother of two, was beginning to run out of energy just yards from the end when she was suddenly joined by her 10-year-old daughter, Avery. The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line. Rich later said in the video’s caption that being joined by her daughter to finish the race was “a moment I hope neither of us ever forget”. Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said. “She saw tears in my eyes when I called on mile 24.” In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her. Then, Rich and her daughter ran hand-in-hand to the finish line. “Nothing could have prepared me for the moment my 10-year-old daughter would jump out of the crowd and run with me to the finish line,” she said. When the race was done, the two hugged each other at the finish line. The video ends with a final caption, “And then she just held me. She held me.” In the past, the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon has had other memorable moments of mothers caring for their children, but perhaps not as hands-on as this one. 1．What happened to Rich when she was coming to the finish line? A．She felt herself struggling. B．She was far behind others. C．She fell down all of a sudden. D．She was interrupted by Avery. 2．How did Avery react to the accident? A．She ran the rest in place of Rich. B．She tried to call for help at once. C．She helped Rich run to the finish line. D．She shouted encouraging words to Rich. 3．How did Rich feel about Avery’s response? A．Doubtful. B．Content. C．Concerned. D．Expected. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．A Daughter Cheered For Her Mother By Joining In Her Race B．A Mother Encouraged Her Daughter To Pursue Her Dream C．A Daughter Got Involved In Her Mother’s Race By Mistake D．A Mother Would Never Give Up On Her Marathon Dream Passage 3 (23-24高二上·广东深圳宝安区·期末) “You can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them.” Tara now says. It’s hard to understand these words until I read Tara Westover’s memoir Educated. In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling. Educated is an amazing story. I found it fascinating how it took studying philosophy and history in school for Tara to trust her own perception of the world. Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in history from Cambridge. Of the seven Westover siblings, three earned Ph. D．s. I think their childhood experience made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was. Educated touches on the divides in our country: rural versus urban, college-educated versus not. Since she’s spent her whole life moving between these two worlds, I asked Tara what she thought. “I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery-of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.” Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last. 1．How did Tara’s upbringing shape her worldview? A．It prepared her for a successful academic career. B．It limited her access to education and critical thinking. C．It encouraged her to embrace different perspectives and ideas. D．It instilled in her a strong sense of independence and resilience. 2．Which could best describe Tara according to the text? A．Perseverant and honest. B．Talented and weak. C．Cruel and accomplished. D．Romantic and determined. 3．According to Tara, what should education primarily involve? A．Exploring more of oneself and individual thoughts. B．Following established social rules and regulations C．Strengthening divisions and in equalities among people. D．Obtaining certain rights and privileges to defeat others. 4．What is the text type of this passage? A．Autobiography. B．News report. C．Persuasive essays. D．Book review. 主题05 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 The Chinese old saying “good medicine tastes bitter” may no longer hold in the country where it was born and believed. Xi Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for tiredness at a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “The milk tea is filled with TCM ingredients, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than regular milk tea and has a slight herbal fragrance (香味),” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.” This new milk tea is invented by the nutrition department of Chongqing Jiangbei Hospital of TCM. Since 2023, the hospital has mixed TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract younger generation. “Milk tea is a favorite among young people. We hope it can act as a bridge for them to gain more knowledge about TCM and gradually accept it,” says Liao Changying, director of the hospital’s nutrition department. She notes that almost everyone who tried the milk tea shared the special experience with their family and friends. The hospital has employed various modern technologies to maximize (最大化) the effect of TCM while improving the taste. “Behind the TCM milk tea are numerous experiments and improvements. It represents the integration of TCM, modern medicine, nutrition and more. Our goal is to help people prevent and manage diseases while enjoying delicious food and drinks,” Liao explains. The TCM milk tea proves how traditional medicine is appealing to the younger generation in an approachable manner. Liao is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning. “Over half of the visitors are young people interested in health consultations (咨询)  for body conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM,” Liao says. She also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”. 1．According to Xi Linjie, what makes the new milk tea so special? A．Its bitter taste. B．Its strong fragrance. C．Its special milk. D．Its health effect. 2．From Liao Changying’s angle, what does she expect the new milk tea to function? A．To attract the younger generation to study TCM. B．To provide a special drinking experience with TCM. C．To improve modern production techniques of TCM. D．To help the young gain a deeper insight into TCM. 3．What does Liao want to stress in Paragraph 4? A．The efforts of making the new milk tea. B．The significance of the new milk tea. C．The process or making the new milk tea. D．The prospects of the new milk tea. 4．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．TCM Gains Growing Popularity. B．TCM Meets Modern Milk Tea. C．New Milk Tea Saves the Young. D．Modern Milk Tea Promotes Health. Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东阳江·期末) As a result of trade, travel and migration, different cuisines have spread across the world. Many recipes, chefs and restaurants try to announce that their food of a country or region is the most authentic (正宗的). But is this a good thing? People care about authenticity because food traditions are closely linked to identity, particularly for migrant communities. Sociologist and professor of food studies, Krishnendu Ray, explains that home cooking is often the last way that communities can show their identity. British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was accused of trying to take advantage of positive feelings about Jamaica. His ready meal product had a Jamaican name, but was unlike real Jamaican cooking. However, food consultant Sara Kay asks whether there are problems with the idea of authenticity. She stresses that these ideas often come from the expectations that majority cultures have about minority cultures and their food. These can be restricting—restauranteurs have complained that people expect Asian food to be cheaper than that from European cultures. Expectations can also give people a false idea of what is authentic. While large cities are full of eateries representing different countries—China, India, Italy, Mexico and more—these labels can oversimplify the reality of food from these countries. Stephanie Elizondo Greist is surprised by the recognition that foods in Mexico are more authentic than what she ate growing up as a Mexican-American in Texas, because she feels that both are authentic examples of Mexican food. A more controversial view of authenticity was stated by American Chef Andrew Zimmern, who claimed that he could bring in Chinese dishes in a more authentic way than existing restaurants—many of which are owned by Chinese-Americans. Writer and food podcaster Ruth Tam points out that while these restaurants altered their menus to suit local tastes, so does Zimmern. So, while food and identity are closely linked, and failure to respect authenticity can cause offence, could there be problems with the whole idea of authenticity? 1．Which of the following factors causes people to care about authenticity? A．Position. B．Decoration. C．Taste. D．Price. 2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Eateries in different countries contribute to the authentic problem. B．Expectation about authenticity may cause problems. C．Asian food is cheaper than European food. D．You can enjoy the traditional taste of Mexican food both in Mexico and America. 3．Which statement might Stephanie Elizondo Greist agree with? A．There can be only one authentic taste in a country. B．What she eats in Texas means nothing to her. C．The regional specialities should be the same in a country. D．Every person can have his or her own recognition of authenticity. 4．In which column of the newspaper can we probably read the passage? A．Food & Culture B．Science & Technology C．Sports & Health D．Literature & Art 主题06 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 (24-25高二上·广东潮州·期末) Almost everyone has been called an imitator before. It’s within human nature to feel inspired by someone’s work. But we’ve also felt annoyed when someone calls our works his own. Many artists are feeling this same annoyance with the recent rise in popularity of Al art generators. Stable Diffusion, an Al art generator, allows users to type out descriptions of an image and the AI will generate that image. This is the case of Kelly McKerman, Karla Ortiz and Sarah Anderson, the three artists behind a recent lawsuit (诉讼) against Al art generators. For McKerman, finding out that her art was an inspiration was initially exciting. But she soon realized that the generator allowed anyone to create an original piece of art in her style, with no credit to her. This realization made McKerman angry on behalf of all artists. A world in which anyone can generate art in an instant creates a lessened need for independent artists. It’s also harmful because Al art generators create art in specific artists’ styles in an instant with no credit to them, even though it may have taken the artists hours to create the original piece. Art generators are not only unfair to current artists, but they are also discouraging to potential future artists. As a person who has considered a career in art, knowing that my work could be used in this way makes me hesitant about pursuing this route. This way of thinking is not uncommon, which should be incredibly worrying. Whether it be graffiti (涂鸦) to support a movement or a fine art piece about injustice, art is a vehicle for social change. Furthermore, art is entertainment; animated movies could not exist without digital artists. Finally, art contains great cultural and historical relevance. The fact that art is essential means that it needs to be protected. Al art generators, like Stable Diffusion, are threatening artists’ rights worldwide. Thus, government regulation and clarified protection of artists’ rights to their work is key to tackling this new world of AI generated art. 1．Why have many artists got annoyed recently? A．They have been caught up in a lawsuit. B．They have failed to find art inspiration. C．Al art generators create works of art rapidly. D．AI art generators allow users to make imitative images. 2．What is McKernan’s attitude toward Al art generators? A．Uncaring. B．Positive. C．Disapproving. D．Doubtful. 3．What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A．To stress the value of art. B．To predict the future of art. C．To describe how AI art generators work. D．To explain how Al art generators impact artists. 4．What is the author’s opinion on Al art generators? A．They should be governed by specific rules. B．They should be used to aid artists. C．They should be protected. D．They should be banned. Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东汕头潮阳区·期末) The advance of technology has brought some exciting news for patients of Alzheimer’s disease and their families. Leqembi, a new drug for the disease made through a US-Japanese partnership, has been available in a pilot zone (试点区). Being a currently uncurable disease, Alzheimer’s damages or even kills nerve cells in the brain. Damaged cells can cause breakdowns in various parts of the brain, resulting in memory loss. A kind of plaque (斑块) made up of protein is the “suspect”. Plaques build up in the spaces between nerve cells and break up the communication between cells. Although most people develop such plaques as they age, Alzheimer’s patients tend to have more, beginning in the areas responsible for memory. Last July, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fully approved Leqembi. It became the first Alzheimer’s drug to receive FDA approval in 20 years. Leqembi is designed to “remove plaques that have already formed and prevents them from forming”, US medical expert Jon LaPook told CBS News. Therefore, the drug can only be effective in those who are found to have early signs of the disease. Patients would also need to have evidence of plaques in their brain, which can be detected through brain scans (扫描) or blood tests. Sadly, this drug is not a cure. After a 79-week trial on human patients, the drug could slow but not overturn the development of the disease and its related effect on memory. It merely offers a way for patients with Alzheimer’s to maintain their ability to live a more or less normal life for longer. According to the World Health Organization, at least 55 million people are living with dementia (痴呆) worldwide, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common cause. As scientists make more efforts, there’s growing hope that they can one day create a world where Alzheimer’s disease no longer casts its shadow over millions of families. 1．What can we know about Alzheimer’s disease? A．It blocks the normal functioning of nerve cells. B．Those developing plaques will surely suffer from it. C．It causes patients to develop psychological disorders. D．Leqembi has proved to be the most effective cure for it. 2．What is the requirement for patients who use Leqembi? A．No plaques in the brain. B．Normal blood test results. C．Having early stage Alzheimer’s. D．Showing symptoms of memory loss. 3．What aspect of the Leqembi does the fourth paragraph main focus on? A．Its potential. B．Its reliability. C．Its side effects. D．Its limitations. 4．How does the author view the finding of a cure for Alzheimer’s in the future? A．Cautious. B．Doubtful. C．Promising. D．Unpredictable. Passage 3 (23-24高二上·广东广州三校·期末) We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done? The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.” These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport. 1．What can we infer from the question at the end of paragraph 1? A．We should not be too optimistic about the future. B．Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems. C．It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones. D．It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles. 2．What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in paragraph 2? A．payment B．income C．encouragement D．method 3．Which statement is true according to the passage? A．Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future. B．Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future. C．There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric. D．Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”. 4．What is the most suitable title for the text? A．Total Electric Traffic: a Long Way to Go B．Electric Vehicles: a Road to a Greener Future C．Electric Power or Petrol: a Tough Decision to Make D．Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: a Main source of Gases Passage 4 (23-24高二上·广东阳江高新区·期末) While the remaining 8 teams of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar compete in the quarter-finals, it is worth noting that it is not only soccer that has captured the world’s attention, but also the video assistant referee (VAR) technology. Like it or hate it, the VAR is a part of football games today. Many football fans question whether the system made the game better or if it added unnecessary some complication to the beautiful game, especially this time in Qatar, as a number of controversial (引起争议的) decisions were made involving VAR – it slows down the game, offside law (越位规则) is sometimes not flexible. The introduction of the VAR means at the top-level football now tends to pause and delay with the on-field referee often waiting for decisions to be made by those located in offices often far away from the stadiums themselves. Actually, the use of video match officials (VMOs) in football was included in the 2018/2019 edition of the Laws of the Game and was already used at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Since then, the system has been used in over 100 competitions worldwide. Despite criticisms, FIFA thought VAR’s first show to be a success, with referee committee head Pierluigi Collina claiming that 99.3 percent of “match-changing” decisions were called correctly at the World Cup – “very, very close to perfection”. Without VAR, referees called 95% of incidents correctly. We should admit that sports tech is still far from perfect in the field of sports events. People’s emotions are not towards those technologies themselves, but the current shortcomings of the application of the technology. The controversies in the football field are not caused by VAR alone as there are too many uncertain factors on the court, which is a part of the game drama. For example, the penalty kick (点球) in the penalty area is judged in a variety of situations. 1．What made fans dissatisfied in Qatar? A．The use of VAR technology. B．The results of soccer games. C．The changes of match laws. D．The decisions made by coaches. 2．What does the underlined word “referee” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Viewer. B．Athlete. C．Judge. D．Host. 3．Why did Collina favor the use of VAR? A．It reduces the burden of the referees. B．It has become a part of football games. C．It is widely applied in many fields of sports. D．Its “match-changing” decisions proved more exact. 4．What is probably the best title for the text? A．World Cup 2022 is a turning point B．Is VAR technology ruining football games? C．Should VAR be popularized in the sports world? D．The 2022 World Cup saw the first show of VAR / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（ 议论文+新闻报道） 主题01 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 (24-25高二上·广东深圳宝安区·期末) Anne of Green Gables is a book written by the popular writer Lucy Maud Montgomery. It has been loved by many generations of readers because its story is warm and the characters are so lively. When you start reading it, it feels like you go to the beautiful Prince Edward Island in Canada. On this island, there lives Anne Shirley, an orphan girl. She is very creative but also feels lonely sometimes. Anne often has some unique and imaginative ideas. For example, she can turn an ordinary tea party into a magical adventure just by using her own ideas. She also likes to share her stories and thoughts with others. This makes the people around her very happy. The story starts with Anne being adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. They actually wanted to adopt a boy to help with farm work, but they got Anne by mistake. However, Anne brings a lot of active energy to their lives. One great thing about this novel is that it shows how Anne changes and grows. The author shows Anne’s journey from childhood to young adulthood through her different experiences, like making friends, falling in love, and dealing with loss. This story can not only entertain readers but also teach them some valuable lessons about life. What’s more, it tells us that learning is not just about schoolwork. It also includes growing morally and emotionally. We can clearly see this from Anne’s experiences. Her getting along with her new family and community, together with her teachers’ patience, her friends’ friendship, and her adoptive family’s love, all help her grow. This shows the importance of education in daily life and relationships. The author also writes about the change in Anne’s attitude. She used to care a lot about her appearance. But later, she learned to accept her own uniqueness. This is shown in the words: “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” These words show her happiness with simple things in life and her joy of being herself. Readers all around the world like this novel because it has a lasting appeal. In a recent survey, more than 80% of readers said they were deeply touched by Anne’s story. Mark Twain said Anne was “the dearest and most delightful child since Alice.” Some scholars like Zhou Guoping have noticed that Anne has two precious qualities: a sense of wonder about life and an optimistic imagination. Bianca Schulze, the founder of The Children’s Book Review, says that readers are closely connected to Anne’s spirit of perseverance and optimism. This can really give people inspiration. When I close the book, the vivid scenery of Prince Edward Island and the deep thoughts about human nature and life remain in my mind. Like Anne, each of us has dreams and also faces difficulties. We all hope to find a place where we belong. This novel teaches us how to face life. Even when reality makes us feel a little down, we should not be afraid. Just as Anne might say, “Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” This message makes the book very valuable for anyone who starts their journey of self-discovery. 1．What makes Anne of Green Gables popular among readers?

It’s a hobby that could absorb my spare time and money without regret. Yet, as my collection expands at an alarming rate, I can’t help worrying about sinking into debt and reflecting on it. Collectors each have their own beginnings. Take Judy, for instance. As a child, she had to visit her grandmother weekly. Feeling bored, she played with her grandmother’s jewelry. Now, she’s passionate about collecting antique earrings and necklaces. Sam, another collector, found comfort and joy in colorful clowns (小丑) during his challenging childhood, and now he’s crazy about all things clown-related, from posters and books to lunchboxes and beyond. “Collecting provides a goal, a safe space and a focus for the mind,” a collector shares. “Once you get off the beaten track to enter an unexplored world, where the most interesting stuff is, other people just don’t understand. So it becomes your private world.” For collectors, it’s a personal hunt that keeps them searching late into the night, ignoring the social media distractions. They know exactly what they seek and go to the trouble to acquire it. However, some people regard such collecting behavior far from reasonable. They argue that collecting so many items is a total waste of time and money. Moreover, these items will just gather dust, displayed like aged beauty queens waiting to be admired once more, not to mention the space they’ll take up. Actually, collections are more than just objects. Collections can be a way to connect with history and fame. To own a piece of history that has been touched by someone famous can be a form of time travel, allowing collectors to dive into the past through their collections. Collections can also be a mirror reflecting the personality and identity of the collector. It’s a hobby that can be as simple or as complex as one wishes, but it always offers the excitement of the hunt and the satisfaction of adding another piece to one’s collection. 1．What might be a common reason for beginning a collection? A．Beauty goals. B．Growth challenges. C．Family traditions. D．Childhood experiences. 2．What do the underlined words “the beaten track” mean in paragraph 3? A．The conventional way. B．The unsafe path. C．The unfamiliar world. D．The interesting place. 3．Why are the aged beauty queens mentioned in paragraph 4? A．To highlight the appeal of collecting. B．To display the quantity of collections. C．To question the behaviour of collecting. D．To doubt the choice of collections. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The history of collecting. B．The value of collections. C．The instructions for collecting. D．The personalities of collectors. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了收藏这一爱好及其对个人的意义和价值。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“As a child, she had to visit her grandmother weekly. Feeling bored, she played with her grandmother’s jewelry. Now, she’s passionate about collecting antique earrings and necklaces.(小时候，她每周都要去看望她的祖母。她觉得无聊，就玩祖母的珠宝。现在，她热衷于收集古董耳环和项链)”可推知，童年经历是开始收藏的一个常见原因。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词句中的“get off(离开)”和“to enter an unexplored world(进入一个未知的世界)”可知，划线短语所在句子表示“一旦你不走寻常路，进入一个未经探索的世界，那里有最有趣的东西，其他人就是不理解”，the beaten track的意思是“常规、传统或大家都走的路”，和The conventional way意思相近。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“However, some people regard such collecting behavior far from reasonable. They argue that collecting so many items is a total waste of time and money.(然而，一些人认为这种收集行为是不合理的。他们认为收集这么多物品完全是浪费时间和金钱)”可推知，第四段提到了年迈的选美皇后是为了质疑收集行为。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Collections can be a way to connect with history and fame. To own a piece of history that has been touched by someone famous can be a form of time travel, allowing collectors to dive into the past through their collections. Collections can also be a mirror reflecting the personality and identity of the collector.(藏品可以是一种与历史和名声联系在一起的方式。拥有一件被名人触摸过的历史文物可以算是一种时间旅行，让收藏家可以通过他们的藏品深入到过去。藏品也可以是一面反映收藏者个性和身份的镜子)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是藏品的价值和意义。故选B。 Passage 2 (24-25高二上·广东深圳龙岗区·期末) Maths anxiety is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, concerned about the situation and hoping to find ways to deal with it, wrote a little book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. For a mathematician like myself, the pleasure of reading his book is followed by a sigh of regret that the topic is as important today as it was a century ago. Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a basic misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation (计算) may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculation proves that maths skills and mathematics aren’t the same thing. What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the problem is that we are often stuck in the “science” box. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we might stop fearing the calculations supporting it. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality (普遍性) of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. As an art, the beauty of maths lies in the wonderful thinking that allows us to understand the endless, explore the beautiful patterns of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of ideas. Focusing entirely on calculation skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from discovering patterns and understanding them, from seeing the artistic beauty of mathematics. Some experts like to point out that we experience anxiety the same way we experience excitement. In the same way, fear can be negative or positive. Our goal should be to move people from a narrow view of mathematics as mere calculations to an appreciation of it as a beautiful language and art that inspires amazement. 1．What does the author think of the book by Auerbach according to paragraph 1? A．It overstates the fear of maths. B．It addresses a common problem. C．It is too old to be important today. D．It is popular among mathematicians. 2．What is the reason behind people’s fear of mathematics? A．Inability to do calculations. B．Lack of support from teachers. C．Failure to understand its nature. D．Difficulty of the math language. 3．In what way can we regard mathematics as an art? A．Through focusing on technical skills. B．Through creating artworks with delight. C．Through exploring applications in science. D．Through appreciating its beauty in patterns. 4．What does the passage suggest we do regarding learning maths? A．Express our fear. B．Seek experts’ help. C．Change our opinion. D．Learn a new language. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了数学焦虑的问题，指出这种焦虑源于对数学本质的基本误解，强调了数学不仅是一门科学，也是一种语言和艺术，提倡人们从欣赏数学作为美丽语言和艺术的角度去看待它，以减少对数学的恐惧和焦虑。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, concerned about the situation and hoping to find ways to deal with it, wrote a little book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. For a mathematician like myself, the pleasure of reading his book is followed by a sigh of regret that the topic is as important today as it was a century ago.(一百年前，德国物理学家Felix Auerbach对这种情况感到担忧，希望能找到应对之策，于是他写了一本名为《对数学的恐惧及如何克服它》的小书。对于像我这样的数学家来说，读完他的书后，在享受阅读乐趣的同时，也会遗憾地叹一口气，因为这个话题在今天和一个世纪前一样重要。)”可知，一百年前Auerbach写了一本关于数学恐惧及如何克服它的书，作者读完后感到遗憾的是这个话题在今天和一个世纪前一样重要。因为这个关于数学恐惧的话题在一个世纪前和现在都很重要，说明这是一个普遍存在的问题，书探讨了这个问题。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a basic misunderstanding of what maths is.(我们为什么会害怕数学呢？Auerbach认为，从本质上讲，这归根结底是对数学本质的一种基本误解。)”可知，人们害怕数学的核心原因是对数学是什么存在基本的误解，也就是没有理解数学的本质。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As an art, the beauty of maths lies in the wonderful thinking that allows us to understand the endless, explore the beautiful patterns of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of ideas. Focusing entirely on calculation skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from discovering patterns and understanding them, from seeing the artistic beauty of mathematics.(作为一种语言，数学的独特之处在于其真理的普遍性——无论你来自哪里，都能熟练掌握它。作为一门艺术，数学之美在于其精妙的思维，这种思维使我们能够理解无穷无尽的事物，探索艺术与自然中美妙的图案，并陶醉于各种完美的思想之中。如果只专注于计算技能，就会错过发现和理解数学规律所带来的乐趣与兴奋，也体会不到数学的艺术之美。)”可知，作为一门艺术，数学之美在于其精妙的思维，这种思维使我们能够理解无穷无尽的事物，探索艺术与自然中美妙的图案，并陶醉于各种完美的思想之中。故选D。 4．细节理解题。文章开头指出数学焦虑由来已久，接着阐述人们害怕数学的原因是对数学本质的误解，然后详细说明了数学作为科学、语言和艺术的特点。而根据文章最后一段“Our goal should be to move people from a narrow view of mathematics as mere calculations to an appreciation of it as a beautiful language and art that inspires amazement.(我们的目标应该是让人们从仅仅将数学视为计算的狭隘观点中走出来，转而欣赏数学作为一门能够激发惊叹之情的优美语言和艺术。)”可知，目标是人们从仅仅把数学看作是计算的狭隘观点转变为将其视为一门能激发惊叹之情的优美语言和艺术来欣赏。也就是说，文章建议读者从狭隘的数学观转变为欣赏数学作为语言和艺术的观点。故选C。 Passage 3 (24-25高二上·广东珠海·期末) “It’s somewhat surreal,” Minnie Payne, a 90-year-old woman, said upon earning her master’s degree and becoming the oldest documented student to complete coursework at the University of North Texas (UNT). Prior to Payne, Elmer Kretzschmar, a 97-year-old, was the only individual at UNT to have received a degree at such an advanced age. Kretzschmar received his master’s in education in 2009, having completed his coursework 30 years earlier in the 1970s. Born to workers, Payne grew up in a small South Carolina town where there was only one cinema, one drugstore, one gas station, and one grocery store. She graduated from high school in 1950 and then started to work to support her family. Over the course of her life, Payne held various jobs, including being a saleswoman, a temporary teacher, and a word processor. However, she always had a desire to pursue university. Therefore, in her late 60s, she registered at Texas Woman’s University and obtained her bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in general studies in 2006. This led to her continuing academic journey at UNT. During her time at UNT, she took many online courses, which eventually switched to in-person meetings. She wasn’t able to make the in-person classes and ended up facing a challenge. Fortunately, her former adviser suggested an alternative path, allowing her to earn her master’s degree by focusing on different things. She chose writing, which she has always had a love for. Studying at UNT was challenging but Payne succeeded after spending many all-nighters and committing a significant amount of time to her studies. And she’s not done yet. “I have achieved a significant milestone, but I feel that I still have plenty of rewarding moments ahead,” she said. “I intend to work until the very end because if I’m not pursuing, something worthwhile or helping others, I won’t be a happy camper.” 1．Why does the author mention Kretzschmar? A．To highlight Payne’s uniqueness. B．To indicate Kretzschmar’s hard work. C．To analyze the two students’ similarity. D．To introduce another excellent graduate. 2．What might the background information imply about young Payne? A．She lacked university ambition then: B．She possessed superb teaching skills. C．Jobs were easy to find in those days. D．Universities were inaccessible to her. 3．What caused Payne to be in a difficult situation while studying at UNT? A．Failure to attend classes. B．Suffering from a disease. C．Too many online courses. D．Choosing a different path. 4．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? A．Her deep-seated habit. B．Her intention of working hard. C．Her hard-earned success. D．Her pursuit of a meaningful life. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一位90岁高龄的女士Minnie Payne获得硕士学位的新闻，并详细介绍了她的生活背景、求学经历以及她对未来的打算。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段““It’s somewhat surreal,” Minnie Payne, a 90-year-old woman, said upon earning her master’s degree and becoming the oldest documented student to complete coursework at the University of North Texas (UNT). Prior to Payne, Elmer Kretzschmar, a 97-year-old, was the only individual at UNT to have received a degree at such an advanced age. Kretzschmar received his master’s in education in 2009, having completed his coursework 30 years earlier in the 1970s.(“这有点超现实。”90 岁的Minnie Payne在获得硕士学位，成为有记录以来在北德克萨斯大学完成课程学习的最年长学生时说道。在Payne之前，97 岁的Elmer Kretzschmar是北德克萨斯大学唯一一位在如此高龄获得学位的人。Kretzschmar于2009年获得教育学硕士学位，而他早在20世纪70年代就完成了课程学习，时间跨度长达30年)”可知，文章开篇提到Minnie Payne成为有记录以来在北德克萨斯大学完成课程学习的最年长学生，接着指出在Payne之前，只有97岁的Elmer Kretzschmar在如此高龄获得学位。提及Kretzschmar是为了衬托Payne的独特，说明Payne在高龄完成学业这件事上同样具有非凡意义，突出她的与众不同。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Born to workers, Payne grew up in a small South Carolina town where there was only one cinema, one drugstore, one gas station, and one grocery store. She graduated from high school in 1950 and then started to work to support her family.(Payne出生于工人家庭，在南卡罗来纳州的一个小镇长大。那里只有一家电影院、一家药店、一个加油站和一家杂货店。1950 年，她从高中毕业，随后便开始工作以贴补家用)”及第三段中“However, she always had a desire to pursue university.(然而，她一直渴望上大学)”可知，文中提到Payne出生于工人家庭，在南卡罗来纳州一个设施匮乏的小镇长大，高中毕业后就开始工作养家，她一直渴望上大学。这些背景信息表明，她当时所处的环境使得她没有机会去上大学。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“During her time at UNT, she took many online courses, which eventually switched to in-person meetings. She wasn’t able to make the in-person classes and ended up facing a challenge.(在北德克萨斯大学就读期间，她选修了许多在线课程，后来这些课程转为线下授课。她无法参加线下课程，这最终成为了一个难题)”可知，Payne在北德克萨斯大学学习时遇到困难是因为无法参加线下课程。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“Studying at UNT was challenging but Payne succeeded after spending many all-nighters and committing a significant amount of time to her studies. And she’s not done yet.(在UNT的学习充满挑战，但Payne通过许多个通宵达旦的努力和大量的时间投入最终取得了成功。而且，她还没有完成她的学业旅程)”可知，本段讲述Payne在 UNT 学习虽充满挑战，但她通过努力取得成功；而文章最后一段““I have achieved a significant milestone, but I feel that I still have plenty of rewarding moments ahead,” she said. “I intend to work until the very end because if I’m not pursuing, something worthwhile or helping others, I won’t be a happy camper.”(“我已经实现了一个重要的里程碑，但我觉得未来还有很多值得期待的时刻。”她说，“我打算一直学习和工作到生命的最后一刻，因为如果我不追求有意义的事情，或者不帮助他人，我就不会快乐。”)”可知，最后一段Payne表示自己达成了重要里程碑，但仍觉得未来有很多值得追求的时刻，要一直努力工作，因为不追求有意义之事或帮助他人就不会快乐。综合来看，这两段主要强调她对有意义生活的追求。故选D。 Passage 4 (23-24高二上·广东汕头澄海区·期末) In a post shared on Twitter last Monday, the woman, Amy Clukey, explained that her dad, Rick, a beekeeper, died of lung cancer about nine years ago. But, before passing away, he wrote a note that he hoped one of his children would later find, and finally after so long, her little brother, who is now 16 years old, found it in his father’s beekeeping clothes. The note said, “I hope one of my children is curious about beekeeping. Beekeeping is actually pretty easy and you can learn everything online. Bees make more products than just honey; it can be a source of extra income. So don’t be afraid, have courage. Good luck. Love Dad.” The bee population in 2019 consisted primarily of wild bees, and North Dakota has the highest honey production with over 38 million pounds. Clukey explained that her father bought a farm when he was in his 40s, and it was then that he took up beekeeping and other hobbies like raising cattle and horses. She added, “When he was diagnosed (诊断) with stage 4 lung cancer, the doctors told him that he had 18 months to live. He was a fighter: He lived 5 years and a week after his diagnosis.” The post has attracted a lot of readers on the platform and has received over 42,800 likes, 2,333 comments, and 749,000 re-shares in less than 24 hours, and in the comments, the woman added that while she doesn’t do beekeeping herself, two of her brothers are interested in it. One user commented, “I lost my dad in 2018. This post makes me cry.” And another user said, “My dad is in the last few weeks of his life battling cancer. I’ll come back to the post in a couple of months when I need it again.” And one also shared the story of her personal loss, writing, “I lost my husband half a year ago. He used to leave little notes all over the house. I can’t bring myself to move anything.” 1．What did the father wish according to the text? A．His children could make big money.

C．A father’s note posted online attracted attention. D．Beekeeping is important for many families. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了Amy Clukey分享已故父亲Rick留下的字条并引起网友共鸣的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The note said, “I hope one of my children is curious about beekeeping.(纸条上写着：“我希望我的一个孩子对养蜂感兴趣。)”可知，Amy的父亲的愿望是他的一个孩子能对养蜜蜂感兴趣。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Clukey explained that her father bought a farm when he was in his 40s, and it was then that he took up beekeeping and other hobbies like raising cattle and horses. She added, “When he was diagnosed (诊断) with stage 4 lung cancer, the doctors told him that he had 18 months to live. He was a fighter: He lived 5 years and a week after his diagnosis.”(克鲁奇解释说，她的父亲在40多岁的时候买了一个农场，从那时起，他开始养蜂，并开始养牛、养马等其他爱好。她补充说：“当他被诊断为肺癌4期时，医生告诉他，他只有18个月的生命。他是一个斗士：他在确诊后活了5年零1周。”)”可知，Amy的父亲从四十多岁开始就一直养蜂、养牛、羊马，很勤劳；同时，他在被发现患有癌症后并没有放弃，而是顽强地与病魔作斗争。由此可知，Amy的父亲非常勤劳、勇敢。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One user commented, “I lost my dad in 2018. This post makes me cry.” And another user said, “My dad is in the last few weeks of his life battling cancer. I’ll come back to the post in a couple of months when I need it again.” And one also shared the story of her personal loss, writing, “I lost my husband half a year ago. He used to leave little notes all over the house.

They get to travel to different places, meet different people, and share their thoughts with a large audience. Peng Yixuan, studying digital media at the Communication University of China, has been a video journalist at China Daily for almost five years. Peng is well-known for her vlogs recording big national events and taking the audience along for the ride. But the process of his becoming a famous vlogger was quite accidental. “When I came up with the idea of recording two sessions in the form of a vlog with just my phone in 2019, the others on my team felt unsure about it,” Peng said. “But we decided to give it a try, and it went viral.” Compared with traditional media journalists, those in new media are “almighty (全能的)”. “From Script (脚本) writing to video editing, we need to be competitive in each step of the video-making process,” Peng said. “We also need to react fast to the latest news and think of what young people are curious about. Bringing the serious-natured national event closer to ordinary people is what I believe to be the reason for success. Also, it’s important to “care”. Peng said that only when you actually care about the people and the topic you are covering will you make the interviewees open up and touch the hearts of your audience. “I’m an ENFP-an extroverted (外向的) person. I’m always curious about the lives of others and want to engage with them,” she said. Once, Peng tried to interview an ambassador. She saw him reject many journalists before her. “I knew I couldn’t simply ask him to do the interview.” Instead, she said, “Your outfit is so cool! Are these traditional clothes from your country?” That’s what got him to start talking to her. Peng’s job makes her see the necessity and power of international communication. “I can feel the changes in Chinese media over the past few decades,” Peng said. “We went from telling stories from abroad to telling the world our stories. As a journalist, it’s my honour to be a part of it.” 1．What do we know about Peng Yixuan? A．She starts her journalist career this year. B．She is only good at video editing skills. C．She always seeks interactions with others. D．She was sure that her vlog would go viral. 2．Which is NOT the reason for Peng’s success? A．News-audience engagement. B．Timely capture of latest news. C．High writing and editing skill. D．Curiosity towards young people. 3．Why did Peng Yixuan tell the story of interviewing an ambassador? A．To show she is an outgoing and careful person. B．To illustrate the importance of care in interviewing. C．To prove she has more advantages than other journalists. D．To show she likes communicating and engaging with people. 4．Which can be a suitable title for the text A．How to become a journalist B．A new journalist and v logger C．Reporting with her own style D．Peng went viral in new media 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了《中国日报》的视频记者彭译萱在网络上走红一事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第四段““I’m an ENFP-an extroverted(外向的) person. I’m always curious about the lives of others and want to engage with them,” she said. (她说：“我是一个外向的人。我总是对别人的生活充满好奇，想要参与其中。”)”可知，彭译萱总是对他人的生活充满好奇，并希望与他们互动。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Compared with traditional media journalists, those in new media are “almighty(全能的)”. “From Script(脚本) writing to video editing, we need to be competitive in each step of the video-making process,” Peng said. “We also need to react fast to the latest news and think of what young people are curious about. Bringing the serious-natured national event closer to ordinary people is what I believe to be the reason for success.(与传统媒体记者相比，新媒体记者是“全能的”。“从脚本写作到视频编辑，我们需要在视频制作过程的每一步都具有竞争力，”彭说。“我们还需要对最新消息做出快速反应，想想年轻人对什么感兴趣。我认为，让这个严肃的全国性活动更贴近普通人是成功的原因。”)”可知，选项A“News-audience engagement(新闻受众的参与)”，选项B“Timely capture of latest news(及时捕捉最新消息)”以及选项D“Curiosity towards young people(对年轻人的好奇心)”都是彭译萱走红的原因。只有选项C未提及。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Also, it’s important to “care”. Peng said that only when you actually care about the people and the topic you are covering will you make the interviewees open up and touch the hearts of your audience.(此外，“关心”也很重要。彭说，只有当你真正关心采访对象和话题时，你才能让受访者敞开心扉，触动听众的心。)”可知，彭译萱提到自己采访大使的原因是为了说明在采访中关心的重要性。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Peng is well-known for her vlogs recording big national events and taking the audience along for the ride. But the process of his becoming a famous vlogger was quite accidental. “When I came up with the idea of recording two sessions in the form of a vlog with just my phone in 2019, the others on my team felt unsure about it,” Peng said. “But we decided to give it a try, and it went viral.”(彭译萱因其记录重大国家事件的Vlog而闻名，并带领观众一起参与其中。但她成为著名Vlogger的过程是相当偶然的。“当我在2019年想到用我的手机以Vlog的形式记录两期节目时，我的团队其他人对此感到不确定，”彭说。“但我们决定试一试，结果它走红了。”)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述的是《中国日报》的视频记者彭译萱在网络上走红一事。故选D。 主题02 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (23-24高二上·广东惠州·期末) When I was younger, I faced one obstacle, the divorce (离婚) of my parents. I wanted to know why my mother left and no longer lived in my house, but I was not able to understand exactly what had happened. Puzzles became my escape as I knew that all puzzles have an answer; they had unknowingly become a large part of my childhood as they made sense to me unlike what was going on in my life. My love for puzzles led me to buying a Rubik’s cube (魔方) after I saw my friend solve his own. In the beginning, I was unable to follow the guide that came with the first Rubik’s cube I bought, but then I searched up a tutorial online and learned by watching. Using my skill of memory, I was able to remember possible patterns that the Rubik’s cube could be after each step. After I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube and learned that it could be solved many ways, I never got tired of solving it, because there were so many combinations that every time I mixed it up, there was a different solution. My outlook of the world changed, as I realized that there is not one concrete solution to everything, but multiple solutions. Being able to see things differently, the ways I solved some problems with multiple solutions were uncommon among my classmates. My 10th grade math teacher had acknowledged this when he wrote a comment on my test, saying he had not thought about solving a problem the way I had solved it. I gained a new perspective in approaching the challenges of life. The obstacles that we encounter throughout our lifetime are preparation in order for us to solve the everlasting mystery of life. 1．What were the puzzles for the author at the beginning? A．A replacement for friends. B．A way to understand parents. C．A solution to the mysteries of life. D．A distraction from parents’ divorce. 2．Why was the author addicted to solving the Rubik’s cube? A．For the joy in the process. B．For the achievements in learning. C．For the possibility to different solutions. D．For the praise from teachers and classmates. 3．What did the author learn from solving the Rubik’s cube? A．Hard work pays off. B．Rome isn’t built in one day. C．Failure is the mother of success. D．There is more than one way to go in life. 4．What does the author think of the obstacles in life? A．They make life more challenging. B．They prepare people for life puzzles. C．They test people’s problem-solving skills. D．They prevent people from finding solutions. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者从学模仿中所获得的感悟：一个问题有多种解决方案，且我们一生中所遇到的障碍，都是为了解决生命永恒的谜团而做的准备。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was younger, I faced one obstacle, the divorce (离婚) of my parents. I wanted to know why my mother left and no longer lived in my house, but I was not able to understand exactly what had happened. Puzzles became my escape as I knew that all puzzles have an answer;(当我年轻的时候，我面临一个障碍，那就是父母离婚。我想知道为什么我的母亲离开了，不再住在我家了，但我无法理解究竟发生了什么。谜题成了我的逃避之道，因为我知道所有谜题都有答案)”可知，作者一开始对父母为什么离婚所困扰，即父母离婚的干扰困惑着作者，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“After I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube and learned that it could be solved many ways, I never got tired of solving it, because there were so many combinations that every time I mixed it up, there was a different solution.(当我学会了如何解魔方并了解到它可以有很多种解法之后，我就乐此不疲地解它，因为有太多的组合，每次我把它混合起来，都会有不同的解。)”可知，作者沉迷于解魔方是因为它有很多解法，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My outlook of the world changed, as I realized that there is not one concrete solution to everything, but multiple solutions.(我的世界观发生了变化，因为我意识到所有问题都没有一个具体的解决方案，而是有多种解决方案)”可知，自从玩魔方后，作者的世界观发生了变化，意识到所有问题都是有多种解决方案，由此可推知，作者从解魔法中学到了人生有不止一种路可走。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The obstacles that we encounter throughout our lifetime are preparation in order for us to solve the everlasting mystery of life.(我们一生中所遇到的障碍，都是为了解决生命永恒的谜团而做的准备。)”可知，作者认为生命中的障碍都是为人们解决生命的难题做好准备。故选B。 Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东汕头潮阳区·期末) Called the “Daughter of Dunhuang”, Chinese archaeologist Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her outstanding contribution to the protection of the Dunhuang Mogao Caves. Fan Jinshi’s story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, was assigned to work at the Mogao Caves, a place she had been longing to explore. Though her father was concerned about her health and tried to get her reassigned to a different place, Fan boarded a train and headed to the remote west. “Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was absolutely breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize inside the caves is a world of exceptional beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and endless yellow earth,” Fan said. Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the caves to do research, trying whatever they could to protect and restore them. In 2011, after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves compiled (汇编) by Fan’s team was finally published, which was China’s first academic report on cave archaeology. As time passed, Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing murals (壁画) to blur (变模糊) and colors to fade. In 1980s, Fan got to know computer technology by accident. She realized this might be the chance to preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world. “In my entire life, I’ve only done one thing: safeguard and promote the world cultural heritage — the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.” 1．What can we learn about Fan from the article? A．She is a woman with determination. B．Her health was affected by her stressful work. C．She began her work at the Mogao Caves at 23.

(尽管她的父亲担心她的健康，并试图让她重新安排到一个不同的地方，樊锦诗还是登上了火车，前往遥远的西部)”和第三段中“Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost cut off from the world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the caves to do research, trying whatever they could to protect and restore them. (在那些日子里，莫高窟几乎与世界隔绝。樊锦诗和她的同事不得不住在泥房子里，喝咸水。他们留在洞穴里做研究，尽其所能保护和恢复它们)”可知，虽然父亲不希望樊锦诗前往莫高窟工作，但她还是坚持自己的想法来到这里，在艰苦的环境中保护和修复这里的文物。由此推知，她是一个有决心的女人。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was absolutely breathtaking. (第一次看到敦煌绝对是激动人心的)”可知，樊锦诗初次见到敦煌时，认为这是一个神奇的地方。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing murals (壁画) to blur (变模糊) and colors to fade. In 1980s, Fan got to know computer technology by accident. She realized this might be the chance to preserve the Mogao Caves forever. (越来越多的游客参观敦煌可能会损害洞穴，导致壁画模糊和颜色褪色。20世纪80年代，樊锦诗偶然接触到计算机技术。她意识到这可能是永远保护莫高窟的机会)”可知，因为实体洞穴面临的威胁越来越大，樊锦诗建立了莫高窟的数字数据库。故选D项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段““In my entire life, I’ve only done one thing: safeguard and promote the world cultural heritage — the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.” (“在我的一生中，我只做了一件事：保护和推广世界文化遗产——莫高窟，”她在接受《人民日报》采访时表示。“我的心属于敦煌。”)”可知，樊锦诗认为在敦煌的工作是自己一生的使命。故选B项。 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 (24-25高二上·广东深圳·期末) Japan turns to more legal measures to support child-bearing as its total fertility (生育) rate and number of births hit new record lows in 2023. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan on Wednesday reported that the total fertility rate, which is the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime, fell to 1.20, continuously dropping for the eighth year. The number of babies born in Japan in 2023 dropped by 43,482 from the year of 2022 to 727,277, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1899. Meanwhile, the number of deaths rose by 6,886 from the year of 2022, reaching a record high of 1,575,936. The number of marriages also fell, dropping by 30,213 from the year of 2022 to 474,717, the lowest since World War II. Late marriages and financial concerns are often regarded as reasons for the declining (下滑的) birthrate. Officials said that various factors, such as economic instability and the challenge of balancing work and childcare, jointly led to the critical situation. To address the declining birthrate, Japan passed a law on Wednesday that expands monthly child allowances (补贴) and parental leave. Starting in the year of 2026, this new child-rearing support will be funded by higher monthly health insurance fees. Key changes include extending child allowance coverage from age 15 to age 18 and removing the income limit for parents and guardians. Additionally, the monthly allowance for a third or subsequent child will be doubled to 30,000 yen ($192) , with these changes set to take effect in a few months. Other measures include increased benefits for parents taking childcare leave and expanded daycare services for children, regardless of their parents’ employment (就业) status. 1．How many babies were born in Japan in 2022? A．474,717. B．727,277. C．770,759. D．1,575,936. 2．What is the main topic of Paragraph 3? A．Fall of the number of marriages. B．Causes of the declining birthrate. C．Effects of the declining birthrate. D．Challenge of balancing work and childcare. 3．How can parents who have a third child benefit from the new measures? A．They will be supplied with free milk powder. B．They will be provided with low-rent housing. C．They will get a higher monthly allowance. D．They will get more monthly salaries. 4．What is the best title for the news report? A．Japan passes new law to increase birthrate B．Daycare services for children expanded in Japan C．More young Japanese people unwilling to marry D．Number of deaths in Japan reaches a record high 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述了日本生育率和出生人数创历史新低，因此采取更多法律措施支持生育，包括扩大儿童补贴、延长育儿假等。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The number of babies born in Japan in 2023 dropped by 43,482 from the year of 2022 to 727,277, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1899.(日本2023年的新生儿数量为727277人，比2022年减少了43482人，是1899年有记录以来的最低水平。)”可知，2023年日本出生婴儿数量比2022年减少了43482人，降至727277人，因此可以反推出2022年日本出生婴儿数量为727277 + 43482 = 770759人。故选C项。 2．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Late marriages and financial concerns are often regarded as reasons for the declining birthrate. Officials said that various factors, such as economic instability and the challenge of balancing work and childcare, jointly led to the critical situation.( 晚婚和经济问题通常被认为是出生率下降的原因。官员们表示，经济不稳定以及平衡工作和育儿的挑战等各种因素共同导致了这一危急局面。)”可知，晚婚和经济问题是生育率下降的原因，官员表示经济不稳定和工作与育儿之间难以平衡等多种因素共同导致了这一严峻形势，因此第三段主要讲述的是生育率下降的原因。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Additionally, the monthly allowance for a third or subsequent child will be doubled to 30,000 yen ($192) , with these changes set to take effect in a few months. (此外，第三个或更多孩子的每月津贴将增加一倍，达到3万日元（192美元），这些变化将在几个月内生效。)”可知，有三个或更多孩子的家庭每月补贴将翻倍至30000日元（192美元），因此有三个孩子的父母可以从新措施中获得更高的每月补贴。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章第一段“Japan turns to more legal measures to support child-bearing as its total fertility rate and number of births hit new record lows in 2023(随着2023年日本总生育率和出生人数创下历史新低，日本将采取更多法律措施支持生育。)”可知，日本2023年的总和生育率和出生人数创历史新低，因此采取更多法律措施支持生育，再根据最后一段“To address the declining birthrate, Japan passed a law on Wednesday that expands monthly child allowances and parental leave(为了解决生育率下降的问题，日本周三通过了一项法律，扩大每月儿童补贴和育儿假)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述的是日本通过新法律增加生育率。A选项“Japan passes new law to increase birthrate(日本通过新法律提高出生率)”符合文章标题。故选A项。 Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东河源市·期末) The reference desk staff at Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s public libraries are proud of themselves for answering their customers’ questions. The best recipe, the history of zydeco, the number of times the LSU Tigers football team has been to the Cotton Bowl. Even in this age of Google and Siri, there’s no shortage of questions. “We’re in the information business,” says Patricia Husband, assistant branch library director. Then came the flooding of 2016. Suddenly the questions became more urgent (紧急的). People wanted to know how to contact Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance, where to get help paying bills, even where to find a homeless shelter. Some visitors seemed to need much more than what the library’s reference sources could give them. They needed someone who could spend more time with them, advise them on whom to call for assistance and what documents and information they’d need. The library turned to Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge (VOAGBR), a nonprofit it had worked with in the past. At VOAGBR, they’re all about addressing the very concerns people were asking about — assistance with affordable housing, a drop-in center for the homeless, therapists who work with families in crisis, programs for seniors. They were committed to helping those who were called “the least of these”. A 90-day pilot program (试点项目) was launched in the spring of 2017. Three evenings a week, VOAGBR would send caseworkers to three library branches. The pilot program was extended for an entire year. In its first six months at the library branches, VOAGBR helped 248 people it might not have otherwise reached. There were also programs like Ask a Lawyer, where a lawyer gives free legal advice once a month. There are a lot of books in Baton Rouge’s libraries — full of information, guidance, wisdom and entertainment — but the help that VOAGBR offers there is right out of people’s heart. 1．What is the aim of paragraph 1? A．To indicate staff’s work is hard. B．To prove the library is people’s pride. C．To show the good service of the library. D．To introduce the great number of books. 2．What was a problem facing the library during the flood? A．Its reference sources lessened. B．The books in it were destroyed. C．Too many people rushed in for shelter. D．It couldn’t provide all information people needed. 3．What can we know about VOAGBR? A．It offered aid to the needy. B．It was set up in 2017. C．It was a library branch. D．It was a 90-day pilot program. 4．What can be inferred about the pilot program? A．It changed into an academic one. B．It benefited people a lot. C．It advertised VOAGBR in the world. D．It helped the sufferers with its profits. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日公共图书馆咨询台在回答访客问题方面服务优良，限于图书馆参考资源有限，他们和美国大巴吞鲁日志愿者组织合作，这为有需要的人带来了更多的帮助。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“The best recipe, the history of zydeco, the number of times the LSU Tigers football team has been to the Cotton Bowl. Even in this age of Google and Siri, there’s no shortage of questions.(最好的食谱，zydeco的历史，LSU老虎橄榄球队参加棉花碗比赛的次数。即使在这个谷歌和Siri的时代，也不乏问题。)”可知，第一段是为了介绍路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日公共图书馆咨询台在回答访客问题方面的良好服务。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Some visitors seemed to need much more than what the library’s reference sources could give them.(一些游客似乎需要的远远超过图书馆的参考资料所能提供的。)”可知，洪水期间图书馆面临的问题是它无法提供人们需要的所有信息。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段第二句和第三句“At VOAGBR, they’re all about addressing the very concerns people were asking about — assistance with affordable housing, a drop-in center for the homeless, therapists who work with families in crisis, programs for seniors. They were committed to helping those who were called “the least of these”.(在VOAGBR，他们都在关注人们所关心的问题——经济适用房援助、无家可归者收容中心、帮助危机家庭的治疗师、老年人项目。他们致力于帮助那些被称为“最弱小者”的人。)”可知，VOAGBR向穷人提供援助。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据倒第二段第二句“In its first six months at the library branches, VOAGBR helped 248 people it might not have otherwise reached.(在图书馆分馆的头六个月里，VOAGBR帮助了248名原本可能无法接触到的人。)”可知，试点项目帮助了人们很多。故选B。 Passage 3 (23-24上·广东大湾区·期末) At six o’clock sharp the curtain rises. Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, Nevada, look to the stage. Dozens of costumed actors break out into the drama—The Lion King. This is not a typical production. The cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. Children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini. “I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current circumstance doesn’t have to be their future. If they are determined they can do anything they want.” She was born prematurely, weighing 1.25 pounds, which was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. She had open-heart operation at two weeks old. Doctors predicted she’d be in the hospital for five months. She came home in nine weeks. Her very name (pronounced “Nah-SY-ah”) means “magic” in Hebrew. Nasya quickly proved a big talent for acting. At six she was spotted by an acting coach. Nasya once told her friends, “I’m going to be an actor. One day I’m going to be a star.” Some higher graders said, “You? You’re a small fry. You’re not even pretty.” Later, one popular girl said, “I can play better than you. And if you’re not better than me, then how can you be an actor? Give. It. Up.” Later, she entered the Volunteers of America shelter center. She learned there were more than 300 people living there and many children were even mistreated and lost their confidence. Nasya was stunned. “I was so blessed that I didn’t realize how blessed I was!” she says. “I’m healthy, have wonderful parents, a great home. I couldn’t believe how many homeless children there were right in my own backyard.” Long after Nasya won the title of Miss Northern Counties Outstanding Teen, she has stayed committed to the kids at the Volunteers of America shelter. At each class she reminds the kids, “Believe in yourself. The world is your stage.” 1．Which of the following can best describe Nasya? A．Good-mannered and brave. B．Self-centered and mature. C．Warm-hearted and talented. D．Well-educated and honest. 2．What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Shocked. B．Frightened. C．Confused. D．Impressed. 3．How does Nasya help the homeless teens to build confidence? A．By encouraging them. B．By donating money to them. C．By acting in a drama. D．By turning them into big stars. 4．What does Nasya want to tell children through her story? A．Kindness matters to stars. B．Talent is crucial for acting. C．Children need a dream stage. D．Magic lies in trusting yourself. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Nasya Mancini 是一个对孩子们充满关爱、富有才华的演员以及义工教练，她通过自己的经历鼓励帮助无家可归的孩子们实现他们的梦想。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段的“The cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. Children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini.(演员由住在里诺美国志愿者家庭庇护所的无家可归的孩子组成。多亏了志愿者表演教练纳西亚·曼奇尼，孩子们有机会在舞台上实现自己的梦想。)”可知，纳西亚是一个热心肠的人；根据第三段的“Nasya quickly proved a big talent for acting. At six she was spotted by an acting coach.(Nasya 很快证明了自己在表演方面的巨大天赋。六岁时，她被一位表演教练看中了。)”可知，Nasya 是一个有表演天赋的人，故选C项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第四段的“She learned there were more than 300 people living there and many children were even mistreated and lost their confidence. Nasya was stunned. “I was so blessed that I didn’t realize how blessed I was!” she says. “I’m healthy, have wonderful parents, a great home. I couldn’t believe how many homeless children there were right in my own backyard.”(她了解到有300多人住在那里，许多孩子甚至受到虐待，失去了信心。纳西亚……。她说，“我是如此地幸运以至于我没有意识到我的幸运”！“我很健康，有很棒的父母，有一个很棒的家。我简直不敢相信有这么多无家可归的孩子就在我家后院。”) ”可知，Nasya 在知道很多孩子的遭遇后与自己进行了对比，她无法相信他们的遭遇，因此她会感到很震惊，则划线词意为“震惊的”，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“At each class she reminds the kids, “Believe in yourself. The world is your stage.”(每节课她都会提醒孩子们，“相信自己。世界就是你的舞台。”)”可知，Nasya 通过鼓励无家可归的青少年来建立他们的信心，故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段的““I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current circumstance doesn’t have to be their future. If they are determined they can do anything they want.” She was born prematurely, weighing 1.25 pounds, which was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. She had open-heart operation at two weeks old. Doctors predicted she’d be in the hospital for five months. She came home in nine weeks. Her very name (pronounced “Nah-SY-ah”) means “magic” in Hebrew.(纳西亚说，“我在这些孩子身上看到了很多自己的影子”，“我告诉他们，他们现在的情况不一定是他们的未来。如果他们下定决心，他们可以做任何他们想做的事情”。她早产，体重1.25磅，几乎没有生存的机会。但纳西亚一直没有放弃。她在两周大的时候做了心脏直视手术。医生预测她将在医院住上五个月。她九个星期后回家了。她的名字在希伯来语中的意思是“魔法”。)”和第三段的“Nasya once told her friends, “I’m going to be an actor. One day I’m going to be a star.” Some higher graders said, “You? You’re a small fry. You’re not even pretty.” Later, one popular girl said, “I can play better than you. And if you’re not better than me, then how can you be an actor? Give. It. Up.”(纳西亚曾经告诉她的朋友：“我要成为一名演员。总有一天我会成为明星。”一些高年级学生说，“你？你只是个小人物。你一点都不漂亮”。后来，一个受欢迎的女孩说：“我比你弹得好。如果你不比我好，那你怎么能当演员？放弃吧。”)”和最后一段的“Nasya won the title of Miss Northern Counties Outstanding Teen(纳西亚赢得“北方郡杰出女青少年”的称号)”可知，Nasya 出生后存活的几率不大，但是她没有放弃活下来，最后通过自己的努力实现了梦想，因此她想通过她的故事告诉孩子们(成功的)秘诀在于相信自己，故选D。 主题04 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 (24-25高二上·广东广州越秀区·期末) On 11 March 2021, a collage (拼贴画) made up of 5,000 pieces of digital artworks went on sale for more than $69 million and became the world’s most expensive piece of digital art. The collage combines various styles and themes, reflecting the artist’s daily thoughts and observations. The sale was made possible thanks to non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFT is a unique piece of code that acts like a certificate to prove the work is genuine, so it can be bought or sold like physical paintings. These codes make someone the official owners of the digital artwork. In 2021, more than $15.7 billion was spent on NFTs. Is digital art the future? According to digital artists, NFTs represent the next step in art history. They believe that art develops according to the tools available to them. Embracing (拥抱) digital methods could lead to exciting new works that would never have been possible in the past. Plus, the art world can be exclusive (排他的), with paintings only on show at certain galleries. Digital art gives more people the chance to enjoy art. It also grabs the attention of the buyers. Collectors of digital artworks, as well as investors, have pumped billions of dollars into NFT-related artworks. One famous collector says, “Can NFTs be a breakthrough in the art market? That is a most definite yes. From streaming services to e-sports, the world is becoming more digital. Why should art be different?” He believes that most buyers are driven by admiration, “Artists can make beautiful pieces on their computers. These pieces should be as valuable as physical paintings.” For opponents, digital arts are nothing but a short-lived fashion and will never replace the real thing. Art traditionalists believe that even though people can’t touch most artworks, they are meant to be seen up close. A digital art displayed on a computer screen will never match the experience of walking through a gallery. Even worse, the technology behind it is bad for the environment. NFTs rely on a network of computers that have to be running at all times to process information. This uses up a lot of power and it’s a big source of greenhouse gas emissions, which are the primary cause of climate change. Many collectors are also concerned about the stability (稳定性) of the value, because owning a line of computer codes is not the same as owning a painting. 1．What makes the sale of digital artworks possible? A．The thoughts and observations. B．The high demand for digital art. C．The use of non-fungible tokens. D．The artist’s reputation and fame. 2．According to the famous collector, why will NFTs be a breakthrough in the art market? A．Modern digital methods would lead to more exciting new works. B．NFTs provide people with more opportunities to enjoy art. C．Going digital is the unavoidable trend of the modern world. D．Collectors and investors have pumped lots of money in the market. 3．Which of the following might the opponents agree with? A．Digital artworks will make a lot of profits for galleries. B．The power that NFTs require will do harm to our planet. C．Digital artworks are intended to be fashionable and stable. D．Digital art-serves as a short-lived replacement for real art. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．The world’s most expensive piece of digital art. B．Codes called NFTs that act like certificates in sale. C．The future that digital artworks are going up for sale. D．The debate caused by the NFT-related artworks. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了非同质化代币NFTs在数字艺术领域的应用及其引发的争议，支持者认为这是艺术史上的突破，而反对者则认为其对环境有害且无法取代传统艺术。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The sale was made possible thanks to non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFT is a unique piece of code that acts like a certificate to prove the work is genuine, so it can be bought or sold like physical paintings. (这次销售之所以成为可能，得益于非同质化代币(NFTs)。NFT是一种独特的代码，类似于证书，用于证明作品的真实性，因此它可以像实体画作一样被买卖)”可知，非同质化代币使得数字艺术品的销售成为可能。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中他所说的话“Can NFTs be a breakthrough in the art market? That is a most definite yes. From streaming services to e-sports, the world is becoming more digital. Why should art be different? (NFTs能否成为艺术市场的突破？答案绝对是肯定的。从流媒体服务到电子竞技，世界正变得越来越数字化。艺术为何要与众不同呢？)”可知，他认为NFTs是艺术市场的一个突破，是因为数字化是现代世界不可避免的趋势。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Even worse, the technology behind it is bad for the environment. NFTs rely on a network of computers that have to be running at all times to process information. This uses up a lot of power and it’s a big source of greenhouse gas emissions, which are the primary cause of climate change. (更糟糕的是，其背后的技术对环境有害。NFTs依赖于一个需要全天候运行的计算机网络来处理信息。这消耗了大量电力，并且是温室气体排放的主要来源，而温室气体是气候变化的主要原因)”可知，非同质化代币依赖于计算机网络，消耗大量电力，会加剧气候变化。因此，反对者会同意“NFTs所需的电力将对我们的星球造成伤害”的观点。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Is digital art the future? (数字艺术是未来吗？)”、第二段中“According to digital artists, NFTs represent the next step in art history. They believe that art develops according to the tools available to them. (根据数字艺术家的观点，NFTs代表了艺术史的下一步。他们认为，艺术是根据他们可用的工具发展的)”和第三段中“For opponents, digital arts are nothing but a short-lived fashion and will never replace the real thing. (对于反对者来说，数字艺术只不过是一种短暂的风潮，永远无法取代真正的艺术品)”可知，文章主要讨论了NFT相关艺术品引起的争论，一方面，支持者认为NFTs是艺术史上的下一步，能够带来新的艺术作品，并且让更多人有机会欣赏艺术，另一方面，反对者认为数字艺术只是短暂的时尚，无法取代真正的艺术品，并且对环境有害。故选D项。 Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东部分学校·期末) For many runners, a marathon can often be a challenge—but sometimes what gets a runner through the tough 26.2 miles is looking out into the crowd and seeing his or her loved one holding up a sign and shouting words of encouragement. For one mom, though, her loved one was a bit more hands-on. While running the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City, Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker and mother of two, was beginning to run out of energy just yards from the end when she was suddenly joined by her 10-year-old daughter, Avery. The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line. Rich later said in the video’s caption that being joined by her daughter to finish the race was “a moment I hope neither of us ever forget”. Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said. “She saw tears in my eyes when I called on mile 24.” In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her. Then, Rich and her daughter ran hand-in-hand to the finish line. “Nothing could have prepared me for the moment my 10-year-old daughter would jump out of the crowd and run with me to the finish line,” she said. When the race was done, the two hugged each other at the finish line. The video ends with a final caption, “And then she just held me. She held me.” In the past, the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon has had other memorable moments of mothers caring for their children, but perhaps not as hands-on as this one. 1．What happened to Rich when she was coming to the finish line? A．She felt herself struggling. B．She was far behind others. C．She fell down all of a sudden. D．She was interrupted by Avery. 2．How did Avery react to the accident? A．She ran the rest in place of Rich. B．She tried to call for help at once. C．She helped Rich run to the finish line. D．She shouted encouraging words to Rich. 3．How did Rich feel about Avery’s response? A．Doubtful. B．Content. C．Concerned. D．Expected. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．A Daughter Cheered For Her Mother By Joining In Her Race B．A Mother Encouraged Her Daughter To Pursue Her Dream C．A Daughter Got Involved In Her Mother’s Race By Mistake D．A Mother Would Never Give Up On Her Marathon Dream 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了作为一名母亲的Rich参加了马拉松比赛，在快接近终点线时体力不支，她的女儿Avery察觉到了她的感受，从人群中走出来加入她，陪她一同越过终点线，两人最后拥抱在一起，这样感人的时刻被视频记录下来，成为这场马拉松比赛中令人难忘的记忆。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said.(Rich说，她的女儿在比赛快结束时接到一个电话后，就能感觉到她在挣扎。“她知道我在最后几英里里很挣扎，”Rich说)”可知，Rich在快要靠近终点线的时候感到自己在挣扎。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line.(这一感人的时刻被拍了下来，并发布在社交媒体上。在视频中，Avery在她母亲接近终点时跑到她身边支持她。当Avery加入她并帮助她越过终点线时，Rich的脸上露出了笑容)”可知，面对妈妈Rich的情况，Avery帮助她跑到终点线。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中“In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her.(在视频中，看到女儿从人群中走出来和她在一起后，Rich的表情从疲惫变成了微笑)”可知，Rich在看到女儿加入自己跑马拉松后，不再疲惫，而是露出微笑。由此推知，她对女儿的反应感到很满足。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章报道了母亲Rich和女儿Avery之间的故事。作为一名母亲的Rich参加了马拉松比赛，在快接近终点线时体力不支，她的女儿Avery察觉到了她的感受，从人群中走出来加入她，陪她一同越过终点线，两人最后拥抱在一起，这样感人的时刻被视频记录下来，成为这场马拉松比赛中令人难忘的记忆。故A项“一个女儿为她的母亲加油，加入她的比赛”概括了故事的核心内容，最适合作为标题。故选A。 Passage 3 (23-24高二上·广东深圳宝安区·期末) “You can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them.” Tara now says. It’s hard to understand these words until I read Tara Westover’s memoir Educated. In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling. Educated is an amazing story. I found it fascinating how it took studying philosophy and history in school for Tara to trust her own perception of the world. Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in history from Cambridge. Of the seven Westover siblings, three earned Ph. D．s. I think their childhood experience made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was. Educated touches on the divides in our country: rural versus urban, college-educated versus not. Since she’s spent her whole life moving between these two worlds, I asked Tara what she thought. “I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery-of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.” Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last. 1．How did Tara’s upbringing shape her worldview? A．It prepared her for a successful academic career. B．It limited her access to education and critical thinking. C．It encouraged her to embrace different perspectives and ideas. D．It instilled in her a strong sense of independence and resilience. 2．Which could best describe Tara according to the text? A．Perseverant and honest. B．Talented and weak. C．Cruel and accomplished. D．Romantic and determined. 3．According to Tara, what should education primarily involve? A．Exploring more of oneself and individual thoughts. B．Following established social rules and regulations C．Strengthening divisions and in equalities among people. D．Obtaining certain rights and privileges to defeat others. 4．What is the text type of this passage? A．Autobiography. B．News report. C．Persuasive essays. D．Book review. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了Tara Westover的自传体图书《Educated》，包括其主要内容、主题和作者的观点。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling.(在她的书《Educated》中，Tara在爱达荷州的农村长大。她的父亲认为世界末日即将来临，家庭应该尽可能少地与卫生和教育系统互动。重大的医疗危机没有得到治疗——她的母亲从未从脑部损伤中恢复过来。因为Tara和她的六个兄弟姐妹在他们父亲的垃圾场工作，他们没有一个人接受过适当的家庭教育。)”以及第三段“Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. (在17岁踏入教室之前，她的世界观完全是由父亲塑造的。直到她上了杨百翰大学，她才意识到，对于她父亲所说的事实，还有其他的看法。)”可知，Tara的成长环境限制了她接受教育和拥有批判性思维的机会。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“Eventually, she earned her doctorate in history from Cambridge. Of the seven Westover siblings, three earned Ph. D.s. I think their childhood experience made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was.(最终，她在剑桥大学获得了历史学博士学位。在Westover的七个兄弟姐妹中，有三个获得了博士学位。我认为他们的童年经历让他们变得坚强，并帮助他们坚持下去。当你见到Tara时，即使提到她童年的创伤，包括她遭受的身体虐待，她也从不残忍。她如此坦率地谈论自己曾经多么无知，这给我留下了深刻的印象。)”可推测，Tara是个有毅力、诚实的人。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery-of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.”(她说：“我担心教育正在成为一些人用来迫使别人屈服的大棒，或者成为人们感到傲慢的东西。我认为教育实际上只是一个自我发现的过程——培养自我意识和你的想法。我认为这是一种连接和平衡的伟大机制。”)”可知，Tara认为教育应该是一个自我发现的过程，应该培养自我意识和自己的想法。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last.( Tara自我发现的过程在《Educated》中被完美地捕捉到了。她是个有才华的作家，我想这本书不会是最后一本。)”以及全文内容可知，文章介绍了Tara Westover的自传体图书《Educated》，讨论了这本书的主题、信息和影响，以及作者对它的个人反思。并介绍了作者的成长经历，她的教育经历，以及她对教育的看法，因此这篇文章是一篇书评。故选D。 主题05 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 The Chinese old saying “good medicine tastes bitter” may no longer hold in the country where it was born and believed. Xi Linjie, a 20-year-old college student, sought help for tiredness at a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hospital in Chongqing and was pleasantly surprised by a cup of sweet milk tea. “The milk tea is filled with TCM ingredients, yet it tastes delightful. It’s less sweet than regular milk tea and has a slight herbal fragrance (香味),” she says. “Most importantly, it’s beneficial to health.” This new milk tea is invented by the nutrition department of Chongqing Jiangbei Hospital of TCM. Since 2023, the hospital has mixed TCM processing techniques with contemporary food production to attract younger generation. “Milk tea is a favorite among young people. We hope it can act as a bridge for them to gain more knowledge about TCM and gradually accept it,” says Liao Changying, director of the hospital’s nutrition department. She notes that almost everyone who tried the milk tea shared the special experience with their family and friends. The hospital has employed various modern technologies to maximize (最大化) the effect of TCM while improving the taste. “Behind the TCM milk tea are numerous experiments and improvements. It represents the integration of TCM, modern medicine, nutrition and more. Our goal is to help people prevent and manage diseases while enjoying delicious food and drinks,” Liao explains. The TCM milk tea proves how traditional medicine is appealing to the younger generation in an approachable manner. Liao is pleased to see many young visitors seeking professional health advice on physical conditioning. “Over half of the visitors are young people interested in health consultations (咨询)  for body conditioning, which indicates that the younger generation has confidence in TCM,” Liao says. She also suggested that more efforts should be made to integrate TCM with other fields that interest young people, adding, “TCM is becoming a new trend among the youth”. 1．According to Xi Linjie, what makes the new milk tea so special?

Many recipes, chefs and restaurants try to announce that their food of a country or region is the most authentic (正宗的). But is this a good thing? People care about authenticity because food traditions are closely linked to identity, particularly for migrant communities. Sociologist and professor of food studies, Krishnendu Ray, explains that home cooking is often the last way that communities can show their identity. British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was accused of trying to take advantage of positive feelings about Jamaica. His ready meal product had a Jamaican name, but was unlike real Jamaican cooking. However, food consultant Sara Kay asks whether there are problems with the idea of authenticity. She stresses that these ideas often come from the expectations that majority cultures have about minority cultures and their food. These can be restricting—restauranteurs have complained that people expect Asian food to be cheaper than that from European cultures. Expectations can also give people a false idea of what is authentic. While large cities are full of eateries representing different countries—China, India, Italy, Mexico and more—these labels can oversimplify the reality of food from these countries. Stephanie Elizondo Greist is surprised by the recognition that foods in Mexico are more authentic than what she ate growing up as a Mexican-American in Texas, because she feels that both are authentic examples of Mexican food. A more controversial view of authenticity was stated by American Chef Andrew Zimmern, who claimed that he could bring in Chinese dishes in a more authentic way than existing restaurants—many of which are owned by Chinese-Americans. Writer and food podcaster Ruth Tam points out that while these restaurants altered their menus to suit local tastes, so does Zimmern. So, while food and identity are closely linked, and failure to respect authenticity can cause offence, could there be problems with the whole idea of authenticity? 1．Which of the following factors causes people to care about authenticity? A．Position. B．Decoration. C．Taste. D．Price. 2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Eateries in different countries contribute to the authentic problem. B．Expectation about authenticity may cause problems. C．Asian food is cheaper than European food. D．You can enjoy the traditional taste of Mexican food both in Mexico and America. 3．Which statement might Stephanie Elizondo Greist agree with? A．There can be only one authentic taste in a country. B．What she eats in Texas means nothing to her. C．The regional specialities should be the same in a country. D．Every person can have his or her own recognition of authenticity. 4．In which column of the newspaper can we probably read the passage? A．Food & Culture B．Science & Technology C．Sports & Health D．Literature & Art 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了人们在谈论食物时强调正宗的现象。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Many recipes, chefs and restaurants try to announce that their food of a country or region is the most authentic(正宗的).(许多食谱、厨师和餐馆都试图宣布他们所在国家或地区的食物是最正宗的。)”并结合常识可知，厨师或餐厅通常通过宣扬自己食物的味道来表明自己是正宗的。由此推知，食物的味道使人们关心食物的正宗。故选C。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“She stresses that these ideas often come from the expectations that majority cultures have about minority cultures and their food.(她强调，这些想法往往来自于多数文化对少数文化及其食物的期望。)”和“Expectations can also give people a false idea of what is authentic.(期望也会让人们对什么是真实的产生错误的想法。)”可知，本段主要讲述了对正宗的期望可能会产生问题。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Stephanie Elizondo Greist is surprised by the recognition that foods in Mexico are more authentic than what she ate growing up as a Mexican-American in Texas, because she feels that both are authentic examples of Mexican food.(Stephanie Elizondo Greist对墨西哥的食物比她在得克萨斯州长大时吃的食物更正宗这种认识感到惊讶，因为她觉得这两种食物都是墨西哥食物的正宗例子。)”可推测出，她认为每个人都有自己对正宗的认识。故选D。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一段“As a result of trade, travel and migration, different cuisines have spread across the world. Many recipes, chefs and restaurants try to announce that their food of a country or region is the most authentic(正宗的). But is this a good thing?(由于贸易、旅行和移民，不同的美食已经传播到世界各地。许多食谱、厨师和餐馆都试图宣布他们所在国家或地区的食物是最正宗的。但这是件好事吗？)”引出了话题“人们强调食物正宗的现象”，这与食物和文化有关，因此最有可能出现在报纸的“食物与文化”模块。故选A。 主题06 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 (24-25高二上·广东潮州·期末) Almost everyone has been called an imitator before. It’s within human nature to feel inspired by someone’s work. But we’ve also felt annoyed when someone calls our works his own. Many artists are feeling this same annoyance with the recent rise in popularity of Al art generators. Stable Diffusion, an Al art generator, allows users to type out descriptions of an image and the AI will generate that image. This is the case of Kelly McKerman, Karla Ortiz and Sarah Anderson, the three artists behind a recent lawsuit (诉讼) against Al art generators. For McKerman, finding out that her art was an inspiration was initially exciting. But she soon realized that the generator allowed anyone to create an original piece of art in her style, with no credit to her. This realization made McKerman angry on behalf of all artists. A world in which anyone can generate art in an instant creates a lessened need for independent artists. It’s also harmful because Al art generators create art in specific artists’ styles in an instant with no credit to them, even though it may have taken the artists hours to create the original piece. Art generators are not only unfair to current artists, but they are also discouraging to potential future artists. As a person who has considered a career in art, knowing that my work could be used in this way makes me hesitant about pursuing this route. This way of thinking is not uncommon, which should be incredibly worrying. Whether it be graffiti (涂鸦) to support a movement or a fine art piece about injustice, art is a vehicle for social change. Furthermore, art is entertainment; animated movies could not exist without digital artists. Finally, art contains great cultural and historical relevance. The fact that art is essential means that it needs to be protected. Al art generators, like Stable Diffusion, are threatening artists’ rights worldwide. Thus, government regulation and clarified protection of artists’ rights to their work is key to tackling this new world of AI generated art. 1．Why have many artists got annoyed recently? A．They have been caught up in a lawsuit. B．They have failed to find art inspiration. C．Al art generators create works of art rapidly. D．AI art generators allow users to make imitative images. 2．What is McKernan’s attitude toward Al art generators? A．Uncaring. B．Positive. C．Disapproving. D．Doubtful. 3．What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A．To stress the value of art. B．To predict the future of art. C．To describe how AI art generators work. D．To explain how Al art generators impact artists. 4．What is the author’s opinion on Al art generators? A．They should be governed by specific rules. B．They should be used to aid artists. C．They should be protected. D．They should be banned. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【难度】1.65 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能艺术生成器引发艺术家不满的问题，指出其对艺术家的不利影响，强调艺术的重要性，呼吁政府规范并保护艺术家的作品权利。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Many artists are feeling this same annoyance with the recent rise in popularity of AI art generators.(随着最近人工智能艺术生成器的流行，许多艺术家也有同样的烦恼)”和第三段中“For McKerman, finding out that her art was an inspiration was initially exciting. But she soon realized that the generator allowed anyone to create an original piece of art in her style, with no credit to her.(对麦柯曼来说，发现自己的艺术作品能带来灵感，一开始让她很兴奋。但她很快意识到，这个生成器允许任何人以她的风格创作一件原创艺术品，却不提及她的功劳)”可知，许多艺术家最近感到恼火是因为人工智能艺术生成器允许用户制作模仿性的图像。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“But she soon realized that the generator allowed anyone to create an original piece of art in her style, with no credit to her. This realization made McKerman angry on behalf of all artists.(但她很快意识到，艺术生成器允许任何人按照她的风格创作一件原创艺术品，而没有她的功劳。这一认识让麦柯曼与其他所有艺术家一样，感到愤怒)”可知，人工智能艺术生成器模仿麦柯曼的作品，这让她很生气，说明麦柯曼对其持不认可的态度。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“A world in which anyone can generate art in an instant creates a lessened need for independent artists. It’s also harmful because AI art generators create art in specific artists’ styles in an instant with no credit to them, even though it may have taken the artists hours to create the original piece. Art generators are not only unfair to current artists, but they are also discouraging to potential future artists.(在一个任何人都能瞬间生成艺术作品的世界里，对独立艺术家的需求就会减少。这也是有害的，因为人工智能艺术生成器可以瞬间以特定艺术家的风格创作艺术作品，却不提及他们的功劳，尽管艺术家可能花了几个小时才创作出原作。艺术生成器不仅对现在的艺术家不公平，而且也会让未来有潜力的艺术家灰心丧气)”可知，段中说明人工智能艺术生成器不仅对现在的艺术家不公平，也会让未来有潜力的艺术家灰心丧气，所以本段的目的是解释了人工智能艺术生成器对艺术家的影响。故选D项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Thus, government regulation and clarified protection of artists’ rights to their work is key to tackling this new world of AI generated art.(因此，政府的监管以及明确保护艺术家对其作品的权利是应对这个人工智能生成艺术的新世界的关键)”可知，作者认为人工智能艺术生成器应该受到具体法规的监管。故选A项。 Passage 2 (23-24高二上·广东汕头潮阳区·期末) The advance of technology has brought some exciting news for patients of Alzheimer’s disease and their families. Leqembi, a new drug for the disease made through a US-Japanese partnership, has been available in a pilot zone (试点区). Being a currently uncurable disease, Alzheimer’s damages or even kills nerve cells in the brain. Damaged cells can cause breakdowns in various parts of the brain, resulting in memory loss. A kind of plaque (斑块) made up of protein is the “suspect”. Plaques build up in the spaces between nerve cells and break up the communication between cells. Although most people develop such plaques as they age, Alzheimer’s patients tend to have more, beginning in the areas responsible for memory. Last July, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fully approved Leqembi. It became the first Alzheimer’s drug to receive FDA approval in 20 years. Leqembi is designed to “remove plaques that have already formed and prevents them from forming”, US medical expert Jon LaPook told CBS News. Therefore, the drug can only be effective in those who are found to have early signs of the disease. Patients would also need to have evidence of plaques in their brain, which can be detected through brain scans (扫描) or blood tests. Sadly, this drug is not a cure. After a 79-week trial on human patients, the drug could slow but not overturn the development of the disease and its related effect on memory. It merely offers a way for patients with Alzheimer’s to maintain their ability to live a more or less normal life for longer. According to the World Health Organization, at least 55 million people are living with dementia (痴呆) worldwide, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common cause. As scientists make more efforts, there’s growing hope that they can one day create a world where Alzheimer’s disease no longer casts its shadow over millions of families. 1．What can we know about Alzheimer’s disease? A．It blocks the normal functioning of nerve cells. B．Those developing plaques will surely suffer from it. C．It causes patients to develop psychological disorders. D．Leqembi has proved to be the most effective cure for it. 2．What is the requirement for patients who use Leqembi? A．No plaques in the brain. B．Normal blood test results. C．Having early stage Alzheimer’s. D．Showing symptoms of memory loss. 3．What aspect of the Leqembi does the fourth paragraph main focus on? A．Its potential. B．Its reliability. C．Its side effects. D．Its limitations. 4．How does the author view the finding of a cure for Alzheimer’s in the future? A．Cautious. B．Doubtful. C．Promising. D．Unpredictable. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是一种由美日合作研制的治疗阿尔茨海默病的新药Leqembi已经在一个试验区上市。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Being a currently uncurable disease, Alzheimer’s damages or even kills nerve cells in the brain.(作为一种目前无法治愈的疾病，阿尔茨海默病会损害甚至杀死大脑中的神经细胞。)”可知，阿尔茨海默病会损害甚至杀死大脑中的神经细胞，结合下文中的“Plaques build up in the spaces between nerve cells and break up the communication between cells.(斑块在神经细胞之间的空隙中积聚，破坏了细胞之间的交流。)”可知，斑块在神经细胞之间集聚，破坏细胞间的交流，由此可知，阿尔茨海默病阻碍了神经细胞的正常功能。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Therefore, the drug can only be effective in those who are found to have early signs of the disease. Patients would also need to have evidence of plaques in their brain, which can be detected through brain scans (扫描) or blood tests.(因此，这种药物只能对那些被发现有疾病早期症状的人有效。患者还需要有脑部斑块的证据，这可以通过脑部扫描或血液检查来检测。)”可知，这种药物只对那些白发现疾病早期症状的人有效，且患者额需要脑部有斑块，由此可知，使用Leqembi的患者应是是患有早期阿尔茨海默病。故选C项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Sadly, this drug is not a cure. After a 79-week trial on human patients, the drug could slow but not overturn the development of the disease and its related effect on memory. It merely offers a way for patients with Alzheimer’s to maintain their ability to live a more or less normal life for longer.(遗憾的是，这种药不能治愈。在对人类患者进行了79周的试验后，这种药物可以减缓但不能完全扭转这种疾病的发展及其对记忆的相关影响。它只是为阿尔茨海默病患者提供了一种方法，让他们能够更长时间地过上或多或少正常的生活。)”可知，这种药物不能治愈阿尔茨海默病，只是减缓疾病的发展及其对记忆的相关影响，让更多的患者能更长时间地过上正常的生活，由此可知，本段主要介绍的是该药物的局限性。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据尾段中的“As scientists make more efforts, there’s growing hope that they can one day create a world where Alzheimer’s disease no longer casts its shadow over millions of families.(随着科学家们的不断努力，人们越来越希望有一天他们能创造一个阿尔茨海默病不再笼罩在数百万家庭阴影下的世界。)”可知，作者认为，在科学家的不断努力下，人们越来越有希望有一天能创造出一个不再被阿尔茨海默病的阴影笼罩的世界，由此可知，作者对未来治疗阿尔茨海默氏症的发现持乐观的态度，认为是很有前途的。故选C项。 Passage 3 (23-24高二上·广东广州三校·期末) We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done? The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.” These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport. 1．What can we infer from the question at the end of paragraph 1? A．We should not be too optimistic about the future. B．Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems. C．It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones. D．It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles. 2．What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in paragraph 2? A．payment B．income C．encouragement D．method 3．Which statement is true according to the passage? A．Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future. B．Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future. C．There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric. D．Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”. 4．What is the most suitable title for the text? A．Total Electric Traffic: a Long Way to Go B．Electric Vehicles: a Road to a Greener Future C．Electric Power or Petrol: a Tough Decision to Make D．Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: a Main source of Gases 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保，但是电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决，而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳，实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But is that easier said than done?(但这说起来容易做起来难吗？)”可知，第一段提出疑问：英国宣布从2030年开始禁止销售新型汽油和柴油汽车，这说起来容易做起来难吗？第二段第一句“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.(实现全球交通完全电动化的道路还有很长的路要走。)”指出实现全球交通完全电动化还有很长的路要走。由此可推测出，作者在第一段最后提出疑问是想说明用电动汽车来实现环保并不容易。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据划线词前一句“Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power.(成本是另一个可能阻碍人们转向电力的问题。)”和划线词后的“such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. (比如通过降低进口税来降低价格，以及不收取道路税和停车费。)”可知，划线词后的举例是对incentive的进一步说明，通过降低进口税来降价以及不收取道路税和停车费，这些有助于降低购买和使用成本，有助于激励人们购买，incentive意为“激励措施”，与encouragement(起激励作用的事物)意思最接近。故选C。 3．细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Currently, battery life is an issue (目前，电池寿命是一个问题)”以及“Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. (成本是另一个可能阻碍人们转向电力的问题。)”可知，C项“在全球交通完全电动化的道路上有四个障碍”是错误的。最后一段讲到“But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future (但是科林·赫伦警告说“电动汽车”并不意味着零碳排放的未来)”可知，A项“电动汽车将创造一个零碳的未来”是错误的。第二段还讲到“The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars (固态电池将带来巨大的飞跃，它将首先出现在手机和笔记本电脑中，然后才会发展为汽车)”可知，D项“首先将固态电池应用于电动汽车将是一次“大跃进””是错误的。根据第二段“Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.(一些国家还为电动汽车提供专用车道，超越可能陷入拥堵的传统汽车。)”可知，电动汽车有专用通道，因此，“电动汽车在未来可能不会陷入交通堵塞”是正确的说法。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.(实现全球交通完全电动化的道路还有很长的路要走。)”可知，电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保，但实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走，电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决，而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳。由此可推测出，A项“全电动交通：任重道远”最适合作本文标题。故选A。 Passage 4 (23-24高二上·广东阳江高新区·期末) While the remaining 8 teams of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar compete in the quarter-finals, it is worth noting that it is not only soccer that has captured the world’s attention, but also the video assistant referee (VAR) technology. Like it or hate it, the VAR is a part of football games today. Many football fans question whether the system made the game better or if it added unnecessary some complication to the beautiful game, especially this time in Qatar, as a number of controversial (引起争议的) decisions were made involving VAR – it slows down the game, offside law (越位规则) is sometimes not flexible. The introduction of the VAR means at the top-level football now tends to pause and delay with the on-field referee often waiting for decisions to be made by those located in offices often far away from the stadiums themselves. Actually, the use of video match officials (VMOs) in football was included in the 2018/2019 edition of the Laws of the Game and was already used at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Since then, the system has been used in over 100 competitions worldwide. Despite criticisms, FIFA thought VAR’s first show to be a success, with referee committee head Pierluigi Collina claiming that 99.3 percent of “match-changing” decisions were called correctly at the World Cup – “very, very close to perfection”. Without VAR, referees called 95% of incidents correctly. We should admit that sports tech is still far from perfect in the field of sports events. People’s emotions are not towards those technologies themselves, but the current shortcomings of the application of the technology. The controversies in the football field are not caused by VAR alone as there are too many uncertain factors on the court, which is a part of the game drama. For example, the penalty kick (点球) in the penalty area is judged in a variety of situations. 1．What made fans dissatisfied in Qatar? A．The use of VAR technology. B．The results of soccer games.

D．The 2022 World Cup saw the first show of VAR 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【分析】本文是议论文。视频助理裁判技术已经成为当今足球比赛的一部分，但是也备受质疑：它是否让比赛变得更精彩，或者是否让精彩的比赛变得更加复杂了呢？ 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“especially this time in Qatar, as a number of controversial (引起争议的) decisions were made involving VAR – it slows down the game, offside law(越位规则) is sometimes not flexible.”(尤其是这次在卡塔尔，由于VAR做出了许多有争议的决定——这会减慢比赛速度，越位法有时并不灵活。)可知，VAR作出的一些裁判决策让本应精彩的球赛增加了一些不必要的复杂性，从而引发球迷不满。故选A项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第四段“The introduction of the VAR means at the top-level football now tends to pause and delay with the on-field referee often waiting for decisions to be made by those located in offices often far away from the stadiums themselves.”(VAR的引入意味着顶级足球现在往往会暂停和拖延，场上referee经常等待那些位于办公室的人做出决定，而办公室往往远离体育场。)可知，在VAR引入球场后，判罚需根据回放视频才能决定。所以赛场上的裁判经常需要等待办公室的人根据回放视频向其提供信息而从作出判罚决定。所以referee意为“裁判”。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据第六段“Despite criticisms, FIFA thought VAR’s first show to be a success, with referee committee head Pierluigi Collina claiming that 99.3 percent of “match-changing” decisions were called correctly at the World Cup – “very, very close to perfection”. Without VAR, referees called 95% of incidents correctly.”(尽管受到批评，国际足联认为VAR的首秀是成功的，裁判委员会主席Pierluigi Collina声称，世界杯上99.3%的“改变比赛”的判罚是正确的——“非常、非常接近完美”。在没有VAR的情况下，裁判正确判罚了95%的赛事。)可知，世界杯上99. 3%的“改变比赛”的判罚被认为是正确的判罚，而在没有视频助理裁判的情况下，裁判判罚的正确率为95%。所以VAR被证实判罚准确率更高，所以Collina才会支持VAR。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Like it or hate it, the VAR is a part of football games today.”(不管你喜不喜欢，VAR是当今足球比赛的一部分。)可知，VAR虽然存在争议，但在当今足球比赛中广泛使用。第三段第一句“Many football fans question whether the system made the game better or if it added unnecessary some complication to the beautiful game”(许多足球迷质疑这个系统是让比赛变得更好，还是给这场漂亮的比赛增加了不必要的复杂性)。可知，VAR技术是存在争议的，很多球迷质疑VAR技术，持不满态度。第六段Collina称VAR技术判罚的准确率更高，持支持态度。由此可知这篇文章主要讲述VAR这一技术现在存在争议，对于是否能促进比赛的精彩还是会毁坏一场比赛仍然处于争议，不同的人有不同的看法。B项“Is VAR technology ruining football games?(VAR技术正在破坏足球比赛吗?)”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
