专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·山东滨州·期末） Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷). Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further. After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection. Unlike traditional vaccine development, the generation of mRNA vaccines is relatively rapid, which contributes much to the whole world. Karikó was no stranger to awards. In addition to the Nobel Prize, her work was recognized with numerous honors, including the Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research in 2020, the Lasker-DeBakey Medical Research Award in 2021 as well as the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize in 2021. In an interview on her success. she said “I suppose the message of all about this is that perseverance can pay off in the end. I believe in the first 14 years of your life—your teens, your parents, your teachers and your friends. They shape you the person who you will be. ” When asked how to balance her career and the family, her words were “I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family or career, you can have it, and that you just don’t have to over-assist your child. Your children will watch you and then they will follow. That’s what comes—the example you present. ” 1．What’s the major problem for Karikó’s early research? A．The shortage of funding. B．Her countless failures. C．The lack of inspiration. D．Her different nationality. 2．What can we learn about Karikó? A．She received poor education in childhood. B．She was honored with many prizes in parenting. C．She transferred to two different countries for further research. D．She was extraordinary academically in science when young. 3．What does the interview illustrate in the last paragraph? A．The related experiences determine one’s success. B．Modeling is important in educating children. C．Success is purely based on one’s natural talent. D．Females must make choices between family and career. 4．Which of the following best describes Karikó? A．Talented and generous. B．Determined but mean. C．Brilliant and perseverant. D．Intelligent but dependent. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要介绍了Katalin Karikó的成长经历、科研历程、重大成就及个人观点。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further.(由于研究缺乏资金支持，Karikó辗转到美国的两所机构从事研究工作，在那里她取得了一些进展，这激励着她进一步探索。)”可知，Karikó早期研究面临的主要问题是资金短缺。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷).( Karikó在一个小村庄长大，从小就对大自然表现出浓厚的兴趣，并且在科学学科上成绩优异。获得博士学位后，她在匈牙利的一个生物研究中心任职，在那里开始了对修饰核苷的研究。)”可知，Karikó年轻时在科学方面学业出众。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When asked how to balance her career and the family, her words were “I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family or career, you can have it, and that you just don’t have to over-assist your child. Your children will watch you and then they will follow. That’s what comes—the example you present. ”(当被问及如何平衡事业和家庭时，她表示：“我想告诉其他女性科学家，不必在家庭和事业之间做选择，两者可以兼顾，而且不必过度帮助孩子。你的孩子会观察你，然后效仿你。这就是榜样的力量。”)”可知，Karikó认为父母的榜样作用在教育孩子过程中至关重要。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.( Katalin Karikó是一位出生于匈牙利的生物化学家，以其在RNA疗法方面的开创性研究而闻名，她获得了2023年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。)”可知，Karikó开创性研究mRNA 疫苗并获诺贝尔奖，体现了她才华横溢；再根据第三段“After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection.(在将研究成果应用于医学实验的过程中，她经历了种种失败，耗费了大量资金，但在研发一种能够帮助预防或降低感染严重性的疫苗这一迫切需求的推动下，她最终取得了重大突破。)”可知，Karikó在研究中遭遇失败却坚持下去，最终取得了突破，这体现了她的坚持不懈。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·山东菏泽·期末） One tap of my stick, and the buffalo (水牛) moved forward. I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes. The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward. I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper. One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university. Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course. 1．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To present the author’s dream. B．To show the author’s daily life. C．To describe the author’s village. D．To introduce the author’s background. 2．Who played a key role in the author’s childhood? A．His father. B．His uncle. C．His classmates. D．His brother. 3．Why does the author mention the internship experience in Hyderabad? A．To tell his professional growth. B．To show off his calligraphy skills. C．To offer his solution to difficult situations. D．To emphasize his travel experiences. 4．What can we learn from the text? A．All is well that ends well. B．Where there is a will, there is a way. C．Two heads are better than one. D．One cannot be in two places at once. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在巴基斯坦一个小村庄的成长经历，从放水牛到通过努力实现大学梦想的故事。文章展现了作者面对挑战时的坚持与奋斗精神。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的内容“One tap of my stick, and the buffalo (水牛) moved forward. I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan.(我的棍子一敲，水牛就向前走了。我领着他们沿着路走，穿过村庄的中心。我们走过泥屋和正在收割庄稼的村民。这是巴基斯坦信德省一个小村庄的生活)”可知，第一段主要描述了作者的日常生活和村庄环境，为后文的故事发展提供了背景。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中的内容““Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. (“哥哥，你必须送拉索尔去上学。他的未来不是放牛，”叔叔说。我父亲终于被说服了。接下来的一周，我开始上小学了)”可知，叔叔在作者童年时起到了关键作用，说服了父亲送作者上学。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper.(当我开始大学学习时，又遇到了一个障碍。我父亲负担不起我的进修费用。我决定找一份兼职。我的字写得很好，而且我对书法产生了兴趣，所以我在一家主要的日报上碰碰运气)”和五段中的内容“One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. (一个晴朗的日子，我独自乘公共汽车去了海得拉巴，那是一个离我的村庄50公里远的城市。在好心的陌生人的指导下，我在报社柜台展示了我的书法技能，并得到了一份带薪实习的工作。这是我一生中最快乐的日子之一)”可知，作者提到这段经历是为了展示他如何通过努力解决困境。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中的内容“What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them.(真正重要的是，我追随梦想并为之奋斗)”可知，本文主要讲述的是作者如何通过自己的努力与坚持实现梦想的。所以，文章传达的核心思想是“有志者事竟成”。故选B项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·山东威海·期末） Hi there! My name is Erica. I’ve struggled with my weight since I was eight years old. At my peak, I weighed 320 pounds. Over the years I tried every diet you could think of. I tried personal trainers and fitness camps. The result was always the same — I’ d lose 30-50 pounds; then gain back 40 pounds. I tried C25K (Couch to 5K) so many times because my husband enjoyed running and I tried to like it as well. I hated it and couldn’t help but be reminded of my school days and collecting popsicle (冰棒) sticks for each circle (I was always last). More time went by and the only activity I could bring myself to do in public was Zumba. February 2017 was a game-changing time in my life. Something clicked after an embarrassing moment that involved burpees (立卧撑) in front of a group at my kids’ school event. The next day I asked my husband if he would join me in figuring out my health. (At this time I was 280 pounds.) After losing 15 pounds, I decided to give C25K one more shot (after more than a dozen failed times). In June 2017, I ran for five minutes without stopping. By the end of July I ran my first mile. Reaching the mile was huge in my world because I had built up a mile as if it were a marathon. By December 2017, I completed C25K successfully! A few months later I ran my first race, Texas Ragnar relay. After that, I completed my first half marathon. I caught the running bug and by July I hit a huge milestone — 100 pounds down! After the half marathon, my husband and I were determined to continue running. We kept training for no event in particular. We needed more support for what we were planning — a full marathon. 1．What might C25K be? A．A fitness course. B．A marathon event. C．A school game. D．A running program. 2．What made the author determined to restart running? A．Her husband’s advice. B．Her terrible overall health. C．Her Zumba class experience. D．Her burpee embarrassment. 3．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase in paragraph 3? A．Fell in love with running. B．Joined a running club. C．Showed a gift for running. D．Found running partners. 4．Where can the text be read? A．A lecture for fund-raising. B．A report from a running club. C．A forum for running stories. D．A speech about running benefits. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者Erica多年来为减肥尝试多种方法，经历多次失败，在一次尴尬事件后重新尝试跑步，最终成功减重并爱上跑步的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I tried C25K (Couch to 5K) so many times because my husband enjoyed running and I tried to like it as well. I hated it and couldn’t help but be reminded of my school days and collecting popsicle (冰棒) sticks for each circle  (I was always last). (我多次尝试C25K(从沙发到5公里)，因为我丈夫喜欢跑步，我也试图喜欢它。我讨厌它，不禁想起我的学生时代，每跑一圈就收集冰棒棍(我总是最后一名))”和第三段中“By December 2017, I completed C25K successfully!(到2017年12月，我成功完成了C25K!)”可知，C25K与跑步相关，且是一个有过程、可完成的项目。由此可推断C25K是一个跑步计划。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“February 2017 was a game changing time in my life. Something clicked after an embarrassing moment that involved burpees (立卧撑) in front of a group at my kids’ school event. The next day I asked my husband if he would join me in figuring out my health. (At this time I was 280 pounds.) (2017年2月是我生命中改变游戏规则的时刻。在孩子们学校活动中，在一群人面前做立卧撑的尴尬时刻过后，我突然开窍了。第二天，我问我丈夫是否愿意和我一起解决我的健康问题。（这时我体重280磅）)”可知，是做立卧撑的尴尬经历让作者决定重新开始跑步。故选D项。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句“After that, I completed my first half marathon. I caught the running bug and by July I hit a huge milestone — 100 pounds down!(在那之后，我完成了我的第一个半程马拉松。我caught the running bug，到7月我达到了一个巨大的里程碑——减重100磅!)”以及前文作者成功完成跑步相关项目，且之后继续坚持跑步可推知，“caught the running bug”意思是爱上了跑步，所以完成了减肥目标，与“Fell in love with running”同义。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Hi there! My name is Erica. I’ve struggled with my weight since I was eight years old. At my peak, I weighed 320 pounds. Over the years I tried every diet you could think of.(大家好!我叫艾丽卡。我从八岁起就一直在与体重作斗争。在我的巅峰时期，我重达320磅。多年来，我尝试了你能想到的每一种饮食)”和后文内容可知，作者讲述了自己尝试各种减肥方法失败，但在因为一次尴尬经历后重新开始跑步，并逐步取得进步，完成跑步项目，成功减重100磅的故事。整篇文章围绕个人减重故事展开。这更适合在一个分享跑步故事的论坛上呈现。故选C项。 Passage 4 （24-25学年高一上·山东滕州·期末） Sylvain Saudan’s skiing was so alarmingly daring that people struggled to believe his achievements were real. The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope (斜坡) — with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall on France’s Aiguille de Blaitière mountain in 1967. Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks. Nicknamed the “skier of the impossible”, Saudan looked for slopes from the Himalayas to the Alps, often reaching the tops by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26,500-foot summit (峰顶) of Pakistan’s Gasherbrum I, searching for undeveloped areas in its natural state. “The first to dare something are the real adventurers,” he said in 2016. “It’s the first that matters.” Raised on a farm in the Alps, Saudan didn’t have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor. Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare him for deadly slopes. After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent twenty years “looking for greater challenges and testing new methods,” said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety measures as he shot down Oregon’s Mount Hood, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal’s Dhaulagiri. Saudan completed his last major journey in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away without a single cut. He “spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches (雪崩), and obituary (讣告) writers,” said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind. “There’s really only one way out,” he said: “Don’t fall down.” 1．How did people react to Saudan’s achievement on the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope? A．They considered it as a fact at once. B．They were not aware of it completely. C．They thought of him as a skiing pioneer. D．They doubted it till evidence (证据) arrived. 2．Which of the following can best describe Saudan? A．Adventurous and devoted. B．Brave and generous. C．Creative but frightened. D．Reserved but famous. 3．Why did Saudan go skiing? A．To test new skiing equipment. B．To push himself to new limits. C．To document adventures for fame. D．To escape his past life as a laborer. 4．What does The New York Times imply about Saudan? A．His skiing methods were widely accepted. B．His achievements were often questioned. C．He faced extreme dangers in his career. D．He was careful during his journeys. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了瑞士极限滑雪先锋Sylvain Saudan成就惊人，曾首滑55度斜坡，从喜马拉雅山到阿尔卑斯山四处寻觅雪坡，发展新风格、创新装备，不顾危险完成诸多挑战。 37．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope (斜坡) — with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall on France’s Aiguille de Blaitière mountain in 1967. Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks. (这位瑞士极限滑雪先锋于1967年，在法国Aiguille de Blaitière峰上，首次成功冲下Spencer峡谷55度的斜坡——在下滑过程中完成了200多个转弯，速度近乎自由落体。直到一架飞机飞越山峰并拍下他的滑雪轨迹，当地人才相信他真的做到了)”可知，人们是直到有了证据才相信Saudan的这一成就。故选D项。 38．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Nicknamed the “skier of the impossible”, Saudan looked for slopes from the Himalayas to the Alps, often reaching the tops by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26,500-foot summit (峰顶) of Pakistan’s Gasherbrum I, searching for undeveloped areas in its natural state. (Saudan被称为“挑战不可能的滑雪者”，他从喜马拉雅山到阿尔卑斯山四处寻觅雪坡，常常乘坐直升机抵达山顶。然而在1982年，他历经25天的攀登，才登上巴基斯坦加舒尔布鲁木Ⅰ峰海拔26500英尺的顶峰，只为探寻处于自然状态的未开发区域)”可知，Saudan一直在寻找各种极具挑战性的斜坡去滑雪，还攀登高山寻找未开发区域，说明他极具冒险精神；再根据第二段中“After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent twenty years “looking for greater challenges and testing new methods,” said The Washington Post. (据《华盛顿邮报》报道，在滑过Spencer峡谷后，他花了二十年时间“寻找更大的挑战并试验新方法”)”可知，他致力于滑雪挑战和创新，体现出他对滑雪的热爱和投入。因此，用“冒险且专注”描述他最合适。故选A项。 39．推理判断题。根据第一段中““The first to dare something are the real adventurers,” he said in 2016. “It’s the first that matters.” (“敢于第一个尝试的人才是真正的冒险家，”他在2016年说道。“重要的是成为第一个。”)”和第二段中“After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent twenty years “looking for greater challenges and testing new methods,” said The Washington Post. (据《华盛顿邮报》报道，在滑过Spencer峡谷后，他花了二十年时间“寻找更大的挑战并试验新方法”)”可知，Saudan一心想成为第一个尝试的人，成为真正的冒险家，总是不断挑战自己。由此可知，他滑雪是为了突破新的极限。故选B项。 40．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He “spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches (雪崩), and obituary (讣告) writers,” said The New York Times. (《纽约时报》称，他“一生都在挑战重力、雪崩和讣告作者”)”可推知，他在滑雪生涯中面临着极端的危险。故选C项。 主题02 人与社会——旅游 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·山东聊城·期末） My husband and I wanted to visit Cambodia for quite some time. When I was planning our trip, I knew that a visit to the historic Angkor Wat temples was definitely on our list, but I wasn’t sure about what else to visit in Cambodia. Mrs Wendy Lee from Agate Travel did a really nice job helping us to plan our trip. We had a few conversations with her to describe what we were interested in and she came up with a suggested route and made all the arrangements. From the moment I first contacted her, 6 months before our trip to the end of it, she always replied quickly via email. Cambodia is an amazing place with so much to see. The country is rich in culture and natural beauty. Every place we visited had something unique and special that made it stand out. Cambodian people are really kind, gentle and their hospitality (好客) is wonderful. The hotels were really good, the service outstanding and the guides and drivers knowledgeable, caring and concerned for our safety. Of the wonderful places in Cambodia, Siem Reap temples were the most amazing experience made only better by our guide Tork Borany. He was brilliant in ensuring that we not only saw a range of sites, but we also had a lot of background information, giving us detailed explanations about the places, the historical context, the art and meaning of the symbols and writings that cover the walls and piles of the temples. He also explained to us many legends about the places we visited and the people who lived there in those times. I also must note he was particularly good with the timing of our visits to the busier places, which avoided most of the crowds. What an amazing trip! 1．What was the author’s main concern when planning the trip to Cambodia? A．The cost of the trip. B．The accommodation in Cambodia. C．What to visit besides Angkor Wat.

He also explained to us many legends about the places we visited and the people who lived there in those times. (他非常出色地确保我们不仅参观了多个景点，还提供了大量的背景信息，详细解释了这些地方的历史背景、艺术以及覆盖寺庙墙壁和塔堆的符号与文字的意义。他还向我们解释了许多关于所参观地方的传说以及那些时代居住在那里的人们的故事)”可知，导游不仅带领他们参观了多个地点，还提供了详尽的历史背景、艺术细节以及寺庙墙上符号和文字的意义，通过分享有趣的历史故事和传说，进一步增强了作者的游览体验，由此可知，导游是通过分享历史和文化知识提升作者在Siem Reap的游览体验的。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Cambodia is an amazing place with so much to see.(柬埔寨是一个令人惊叹的地方，有许多值得一看的景点)”以及尾段中的“Of the wonderful places in Cambodia, Siem Reap temples were the most amazing experience made only better by our guide Tork Borany.(在柬埔寨的众多美妙之地中，Siem Reap的寺庙是最令人惊叹的体验，而我们的导游Tork Borany更是让这次体验锦上添花)”和“What an amazing trip!(多么令人惊叹的一次旅行！)”可知，作者无论是对柬埔寨的景点还是导游都是赞不绝口，由此可推断，作者认为这次旅行是近乎完美的。故选C项。 主题03 人与自然——环保 Passage1 （23-24学年高一上·山东临沂·期末） Soon after Mr. & Mrs. Bacchus started farming their little patch of land, they faced a major problem — a plague of birds fed on their precious crops. Then, a man stopped on the road outside their house, and asked the couple if he could take photographs of the birds on the property. Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region. Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK. As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. One notable example is the Ajila family, who have devoted themselves to preserving the long-wattled umbrellabird. On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. “Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation,” says Luis Jr., Ajila’s son. “We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations.” Since 2005, Angel Paz has transformed his former dairy farm into a bird reserve. At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says. 1．What advice did the photographer give to the couple? A．Photographing the birds. B．Coexisting with the birds. C．Protecting their precious crops. D．Taking care of their property. 2．What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A．How Ecuador is geographically unique. B．What distinguishes Ecuador’s biodiversity. C．What makes Ecuador a birding destination. D．How birding tourism is operated in Ecuador. 3．What have the Ajila family achieved? A．Helping other farmers shake off poverty. B．Combining profitability with sustainability. C．Applying new technology in modern farming. D．Changing the landscapes of their residential areas. 4．What can we learn from Ángel Paz’s story? A．Well begun is half done. B．It takes time to bear fruit. C．The early bird catches the worm. D．The secret to success is adaptability. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了一对爱鸟夫妇和摄影师Manu Espinosa在厄瓜多尔创办了保护区，发展观鸟旅游业，同时带动其他农户将农田转变为观鸟地，这既促进了当地的旅游业有保护了环境。 1．细节理解题。由第一段中“Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. (后来，他（摄影师）建议，与其试图赶走这些鸟，不如学会和它们一起生活，于是马拉克萨查保护区就诞生了)”可知，摄影师建议这对夫妇与鸟类共存。故选B项。 2．主旨大意题。由第三段“Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK. (观鸟旅游在厄瓜多尔蓬勃发展，专业旅游团越来越多。厄瓜多尔拥有不同海拔的各种生态系统，这有助于解释为什么它是世界上鸟类多样性排名前十的国家之一。该国拥有1600多种鸟类，几乎是整个欧洲鸟类的两倍，其面积略大于英国)”可知，第三段指出厄瓜多尔因多样的生态系统和高海拔差异，成为全球鸟类多样性前十的国家，并吸引观鸟旅游，C项“是什么让厄瓜多尔成为观鸟目的地”概括了厄瓜多尔成为观鸟目的地的核心原因。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。由第四段中“On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. (在累西托附近的土地上，土地所有者路易斯·阿吉拉（Luis Ajila）已经从奶牛养殖转向了保护，重新种植了树木，并向野生动物游客推广了该地——他说这项工作比农业更能维持生计)”和第五段中Luis Jr., Ajila’s son说的话“Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation (野生动物旅游比农业更有利，但这不是我们唯一的动机)”“We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations. (我们的目标不仅是保护雨伞鸟，还要保护这里所有独特的野生动物，为子孙后代保护它们)”可知，Ajila家族将农场转为保护区，既保护伞鸟（长须伞鸟）又通过生态旅游获利，Ajila的儿子明确提到“旅游比农业更盈利，但保护动机同样重要”，体现经济与生态可持续性的结合。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。由最后一段中“At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says. (起初，事情并没有按计划进行：第一位游客花了一个月的时间才到达，他只花了10美元就完成了四个小时的旅行。然而，从那以后，成千上万的人进行了朝圣。Angel Paz说：“近二十年来，我一直在保护我的家和它的鸟类，终于看到了野生动物和游客的蓬勃发展。”)”可知，Angel Paz的保护区初期游客稀少且收入微薄，但经过长期坚持（近20年），最终游客增多，生态与旅游业共同繁荣，B项“需要时间才能见效”准确反映了这一过程，强调耐心与坚持的重要性。故选B项。 Passage2 （24-25学年高一上·山东滨州·期末） Greta Thunberg was born on January 3, 2003, in Stockholm, Sweden. Her parents provided her with an artistic and creative environment when she was young. At the age of 8, Greta first learned about climate change during a school lesson. The knowledge of the coming environmental crisis (危机) deeply troubled her, and she couldn’t understand why so little was being done to handle it.

Michelle Lee, a young adult librarian, came up with the idea to offer library goers interview accessories such as ties, purses, and briefcases for those who can’t afford to buy them. The idea came to her in 2016 when she gave a talk to high school students about resumes and job seeking. After explaining to the teens that they would be expected to come in business clothes and that backpacks were off-limits, several participants said that they didn’t have nice things to use. She quickly put one and one together and realized that the Riverside library branch—which was filled with about 200 students every day—could be part of the solution by lending out the much-needed interview supplies. Many of the students used the computers to write their resumes and search for jobs, so it would be a convenient place to offer that type of service. With the idea at hand, Lee submitted (提交) a plan to Innovation Project, which enabled library staff to find solutions to problems that they encounter at the library. Her submission won; and she used the funding from the Charles H. Revson Foundation to buy 12 handbags and briefcases. Ties and pocket squares were donated, in part by an employee at Bloomingdale’s. The first accessories were put out at the library in August 2018. People could borrow them for up to three weeks at a time for job interviews, proms, or any other event that requires dressing up. Many people have used the service, including Panarat Imcharoen, a Thailand-native who took out a Kenneth Cole purse for carrying interview necessities because she couldn’t afford a bag large enough to carry them in. “I was surprised, I didn’t know before you could borrow men’s and women’s bags,” Imcharoen said. “That’s a good idea if someone needs it.” 1．What makes the Riverside library branch special? A．Providing books for the needy. B．Having a large collection of movies. C．Lending out interview supplies. D．Offering Job opportunities to people. 2．Why did Michelle Lee choose the Riverside library branch for her idea? A．It was well managed. B．It was conveniently situated. C．It was equipped with computers. D．It was frequented by students. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The effort Lee made for her goal. B．The challenges Lee faced in her work. C．The items Lee-collected for her library. D．The support Lee got from the public. 4．How does Panarat Imcharoen sound when talking about the library’s service? A．Doubtful. B．Astonished. C．Appreciative. D．Humorous. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述纽约市河滨图书馆分馆别具一格，青年图书管理员米歇尔・李为无力购买者提供领带、手提包等面试配件，该想法源于学生需求，获资金与捐赠支持，方便了有需要的人，广受认可。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Michelle Lee, a young adult librarian, came up with the idea to offer library goers interview accessories such as ties, purses, and briefcases for those who can’t afford to buy them.(青年图书管理员米歇尔・李想出了一个主意，为那些买不起面试用品的图书馆读者提供领带、手提包和公文包等面试配件)”可知，该图书馆的特别之处在于出借面试用品。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“She quickly put one and one together and realized that the Riverside library branch—which was filled with about 200 students every day—could be part of the solution by lending out the much-needed interview supplies.(她很快意识到，每天有大约200名学生光顾的河滨图书馆分馆，可以通过出借急需的面试用品来参与解决这个问题)”可知，李选择该分馆是因为学生经常光顾。故选D项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段“With the idea at hand, Lee submitted (提交) a plan to Innovation Project, which enabled library staff to find solutions to problems that they encounter at the library.

I studied arts in school. When I reached university, I studied clothing design but it wasn’t enough for me,” says Ninson. One day, a friend of his retured from the USA with a camera and that is when things began to get interesting. Ninson was introduced to a new world of photography (摄影). At the time, he had a side business designing and printing T-shirts but he decided to close that business and sold his iPhone to buy a camera. To be different from the other Ghanaian photographers, Ninson took some ideas from a book Blue Ocean Strategy. He made a living by taking pictures during events but he knew photojournalism was his true calling. “My content was different and the pictures I was posting was different. That earned me acceptance to one of the best photography schools in New York, the International Center of Photography,” recalls Ninson. All of a sudden, a world of chances opened up to Ninson. He spent his free time at the New York public library among the thousands of books and images. “I saw photos of Africa that I had never seen before, which made me wonder why these images were in America, but not in Africa. That is how the idea of a photo library began.” Today, that small dream has turned into “the biggest photo library in Africa” as Ninson calls it, the Dikan Center, which opened in December last year with 30,000 books. “Now we are more than a library. We have education programs, a story lab, and a community center which is a space to enjoy free internet and resources for everyone to hang out,” says Ninson. 1．What started Ninson’s journey into photography? A．His side business. B．His interest in arts. C．Grandparents’ stories. D．A friend’s influence. 2．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 3? A．Uniqueness of his photos.

For Chen, her passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of a desire to become famous. According to Chen, her health had been poor and she even had to give up her job after giving birth to her daughter because her health was severely affected by the pregnancy (孕期). In 2018, following a physical examination, Chen was diagnosed (诊断) with a series of issues. The doctor suggested that she exercise more to prevent her already poor health from getting worse. Therefore, an overweight Chen started with light jogging, but a fitness coach later advised her to improve her size and her knee before running. Because of this, Chen entered a gym for the first time on Dec 29, 2018. Then she hit the gym every day in 2019. While most people would be concerned about having an elderly family member participate in such hard physical exercise in the gym, it doesn’t bother Chen. Her husband shows his support by doing most of the housework. Her daughter, on the other hand, helps to pick her gym wear. Chen may be a star in her own right, but she is also just one of many senior citizens in China’s major cities who are accepting exercise enthusiastically. According to a 2019 Cheetah Mobile report on the fitness behavior of the elderly, nearly 90 percent of such people in China have fitness habits while 66.4 percent of them exercise almost every day. The report also notes that the traditional means for the elderly to stay fit, such as square dancing and tai chi, have been unable to meet the new needs of the fitness-addicted elderly population. 1．Why did Chen begin to exercise? A．To better her health conditions. B．To lose weight after the diagnosis. C．To gain popularity on social media. D．To make new friends in the gym. 2．What helps Chen stick to her exercise? A．Suggestions from the coach. B．Concerns about being old. C．Eagerness to impress people. D．Encouragement from her family. 3．What does the 2019 Cheetah Mobile report suggest about the elderly? A．They prefer traditional exercises. B．They are less interested in fitness. C．They are addicted to daily exercise. D．They are changing their fitness habits. 4．What is the writing purpose of the passage? A．To introduce Chen’s road to fitness. B．To discuss fitness habits of the elderly. C．To promote an elderly fitness program. D．To explain why Chen uses Douyin for fitness. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。70岁的抖音网红陈吉芳因健身视频走红，她因健康开始锻炼，反映出中国老年人健身习惯的改变。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“The doctor suggested that she exercise more to prevent her already poor health from getting worse.(医生建议她多锻炼，以防止她原本就很差的健康状况进一步恶化。)”可知，陈吉芳开始锻炼是为了改善自己的健康状况。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Her husband shows his support by doing most of the housework. Her daughter, on the other hand, helps to pick her gym wear.(她的丈夫通过承担大部分家务来表示支持。另一方面，她的女儿帮忙挑选她的健身服。)”可知，家人的鼓励和支持帮助陈吉芳坚持锻炼。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“According to a 2019 Cheetah Mobile report on the fitness behavior of the elderly, nearly 90 percent of such people in China have fitness habits while 66.4 percent of them exercise almost every day.(根据 2019 年猎豹移动关于老年人健身行为的报告，中国近 90% 的老年人有健身习惯，其中 66.4% 的人几乎每天都锻炼。)”可知，大部分老年人不仅有健身习惯，且超半数几乎每日锻炼，这表明他们对日常锻炼有较高的参与度，可以推断出他们沉迷于日常锻炼。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文特别是第一段“Douyin influencer Chen Jifang, aged 70, has significantly received 3 million likes for her exercise video clips.(70岁的抖音网红陈吉芳因其运动视频片段获得了300万个赞。)”可知，文章以陈吉芳为例，介绍她因健康原因开始健身并在抖音获得关注，进而通过 2019 年猎豹移动报告阐述中国老年人健身习惯的变化，整体围绕老年人的健身习惯展开讨论。故选B项。 Passage 5 （21-22学年高一上·山东济南·期末） With the most attractive view along the road, it is a popular route for cyclists: the road from Land’s End in England to John O’ Groats in Scotland, about 874 miles long. It covers almost the full length of Great Britain. The 12-year-old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route. Chandler took 20 days to finish the challenge. Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles. He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily. Chandler had to push through rainy and windy days. Cycling uphill was also hard. “It was much harder than I thought. I wasn’t expecting so many hills and how busy the roads were,” Chandler said. “But if you put your mind to anything, then no matter how big, you can do it.” Chandler first thought of trying the route when he read an article about it two years ago. Later, as his father’s 50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. He was already used to cycling around his village and to school before starting his journey. During his ride, Chandler raised 600 pounds for Smile Train, a children’s organization that pays for treatment for children in developing countries who have deft lips (兔唇). 1．What do we know about Laurence Chandler? A．He is a green hand in cycling. B．He is fond of jogging. C．He cycled through England. D．He is a cycling lover. 2．What is suggested from Paragraph 2? A．Few people chose to cycle the route. B．Chandler was challenged by the trip. C．The journey was really disappointing. D．Chandler rode the same distance every day. 3．What helped Chandler decide to try the route? A．His father’s birthday.

A．A teenager finishing a great trip B．A popular cycling route in the UK C．A road leading England to Scotland D．A children’s organization for cyclists 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了少年Laurence Chandler完成了一次困难重重的骑行，并为Smile Train组织筹集了善款。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“The 12-year- old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route. (12岁的男孩Laurence Chandler成为完成这条路线的最年轻的自行车手)”和第二段中“Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles.

When she was six, she needed them more than ever: She had to go through brain-cancer operations and MRI scans (核磁共振扫描), but she couldn’t take her favourite dolls with her into MRI machine because they had metal in them. So Cecily and her mom - a home-schooler of seven kids and a professional doll maker made a special doll, using weighted glass and other MRI-safe materials, that could stay with Cecily during the long imaging appointments. The doll was also unique in that it had no facial features. “That’s so they can have any emotion,” says Cecily, who was inspired to create these dolls, called “Blessing Babies”, for other sick kids. She and her mom began making more, donating some to children’s hospitals and selling others to fundraise. Soon, doll makers worldwide also began contributing, sending boxes of their handmade dolls to support the cause. Cecily began selling handmade plush puppies and inspirational clothing patches (徽章), in addition to running toy drives and fundraisers for various charities. Including money and gift donations, Cecily has raised more than $2, 00, 000 so far. Today Cecily calls herself a brain-cancer survivor and “childhood cancer awareness fighter,” but she is still followed closely by her team at the children’s hospital. When asked for advice on successful fundraising, she stresses the importance of generosity. “You don’t get poor by giving,” Cecily says. “Because you always get something back, one way or another.” 1．Why did Cecily and her mother make the special doll in the beginning? A．To sell it for money. B．To cheer up Cecily’s fellow patients. C．To donate it to a charity. D．To keep Cecily company during scans. 2．In what way are “Blessing Babies” different from other dolls? A．They wear no expressions on their faces. B．They are designed by famous companies. C．They can reduce sick children’s physical pain. D．They are made of environmentally friendly materials. 3．What do the underlined words “toy drives” in paragraph 4 probably refer to? A．Toy-selling shops. B．Toy-producing companies. C．Toy-collecting events. D．Toy-designing businesses. 4．What message do Cecily’s words convey in the last paragraph? A．A good deed is never lost. B．Two heads are better than one. C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. D．Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 Cecily和她的妈妈由自身需求激发，创造了一种名为“Blessing Babies”的特殊布娃娃，并进行推广做善事的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“She had to go through brain-cancer operations and MRI scans, but she couldn’t take her favourite dolls with her into MRI machine because they had metal in them. (她不得不经历脑癌手术和核磁共振扫描，但她无法将她最喜欢的娃娃带进核磁共振仪器，因为娃娃中含有金属。)”可知，Cecily在进行脑癌手术和核磁共振扫描时，无法携带她最喜欢的娃娃，因为这些娃娃含有金属。而这个特殊娃娃，使用了对核磁共振安全的材料，以便在扫描期间陪伴。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The doll was also unique in that it had no facial features. (这个娃娃的独特之处在于它没有面部特征。)”可知，“Blessing Babies”与其他娃娃的不同之处在于它们没有面部表情。故选A项。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段第三句“Including money and gift donations, Cecily has raised more than $2, 00, 000 so far. (包括现金和礼物捐赠在内，Cecily目前已筹集了超过200万美元。)”可知，这一句是对上一句中“toy drives and fundraisers”的具体举例说明，由此可推知“gift donations”（礼物捐赠）这个行为即为对“toy drives”的解释说明。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句““You don’t get poor by giving,” Cecily says. “Because you always get something back, one way or another.” (“给予并不会让你变穷，”Cecily说道，“因为你总会以某种方式得到回报。”)”可知，Cecily认为善行总会以某种其它的方式回报你。故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·山东烟台·期末） Karen Keech Swerling worked in Hollywood as a costume designer for three decades. She and her husband were looking for a change of pace in retirement, so eight years ago they traded their house in Malibu for an early 1900s Victorian in Richmond’s museum district. Swerling turned the basement into a studio for her nonprofit organization, Richmond Really Sews!, and she offered free classes to anyone crazy about sewing. Swerling said, “People chat while they’re sewing and become friends — I love it. Sewing allows us to express where we come from and how we feel. We can’t do that if we go to the store.” Members of Richmond Really Sews! are people of different backgrounds. Every Saturday afternoon, they gather around 30 work stations with different sewing machines. On Nov. 2nd, they showcased their work at their annual fundraiser, Richmond Frocktails, a fashion show featuring their handmade creations. While Swerling donates her time and talent, she relies on money raised at the event to cover sewing machine maintenance and supplies. In the spring, the group went to New York City, where they encountered famous fabric designers at Elliott Berman and Metro Textiles, When they returned to Richmond, they received a surprise: a 60-pound box of fabric s from Elliott Berman. “They’re sustainable fabric s from France and Italy and really high-end fabrics,” Swerling said. Swerling says she loves sharing her knowledge as a way of honoring the teachers at California’s Long Beach City College, where she met a significant teacher, Alicia Annas, who helped her research the business and introduced her to friends in Hollywood. Swerling’s first project was “Esperanza” with the American Film Institute in 1982. Though unpaid, the work made her known and brought her into the clothing industry so that she was able to go on to design the costumes for The Munsters Today series and the movie Far North. Over the next 33 years, she designed costumes for major feature films and TV shows. Despite her career success, Swerling says she feels the most fulfilled today, passing on her skills to others and keeping the art of sewing alive. 1．What does Swerling say about sewing? A．It increases her family’s income. B．It enlarges people’s social circle. C．It cures people of their bad habits. D．It helps those with mental problems. 2．Why is Richmond Frocktails held every year?

Dr. Jorge Fusaro has organized medical tours three times a year for the past four years across Chañi, a sacred mountain, which has extreme temperatures, year-round snowy peaks. Fusaro is not only the only doctor many people see, sometimes he’s the only outsider. Doctors may be the only representatives of the state to reach this mountainous region. There are no schools, police, or postal services. Fusaro not only treats residents and leaves enough medicine, he also helps them with paperwork, serves as a mail carrier for delivering important documents to relatives in the city, and organizes training sessions, etc. “Knowing that our medical work gave these communities a better life fills my heart. If we don’t go, no one will,” he reflects. He’s worried that government cuts will make future trips impossible. He’s already had to cancel one trip due to lack of funding. For some people, his arrival is the first time they’ve seen a doctor. It’s almost noon, in Ovejería, a settlement where only 67-year-old Doña Virginia Cari and her family remain. Fusaro helps her prepare lunch. He chats about her life and chores. “My idea of sharing is essential. Making the most of the short time we spend in the communities and trying to live as they do,” he said. “That way, we understand their efforts and worries, their knee or back pain. If they don’t have a bed and we need to sleep on a sheep’s hide, we do it. This helps us think of medical solutions within their possibilities and daily lives.” Doña Virginia says it’s important for her and her family to see Fusaro a few times a year. “He brings the medicines we take here for months,” she said. “The work with animals is hard; we’re old, and our bodies ache.” 1．What is described in paragraph 1? A．The doctor’s daily routine. B．The doctor’s working condition. C．The doctor’s generosity. D．The doctor’s innovation. 2．Why is Dr. Fusaro concerned about future medical tours?

This helps us think of medical solutions within their possibilities and daily lives.”(“我的分享理念是必不可少的。充分利用我们在社区度过的短暂时间，努力像他们一样生活，”他说。“这样，我们就能理解他们的努力和担忧，他们的膝盖或背部疼痛。如果他们没有床，而我们需要睡在羊皮上，我们就睡。这有助于我们在他们的可能性和日常生活中思考医疗解决方案。”)”可知，Fusaro医生认为与社区居民一起生活并分享经历是至关重要的，这样能理解他们并找到适合他们生活的医疗解决方案。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文中描述Fusaro医生不辞辛苦、多次组织医疗巡诊，即便条件艰苦也坚持去为那些偏远山区居民服务，担心因为资金等问题无法继续帮助他们，还尽力融入居民生活去更好地提供医疗方案等内容，体现了他的奉献精神和无私。故选C项。 主题03 人与自然——自然生态与环境保护 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·山东济南·期末） Nature is more than beautiful for one to look at. For Indonesian nature conservationist (环保主义者) Farwiza Farhan, nature is a silent friend. As a child, Farhan often climbed trees whenever she had problems, staying there until she calmed down. Nature has always been there for her. This is why she has been trying to be there for nature when it needs her help. Farhan brought her love for nature to her college years. She took a master’s degree in environmental management at the University of Queensland in Australia. In 2009, while studying at the university, she had an opportunity to work with Carbon Capture and Storage Institute, an international think tank that focused on carbon capture and storage to cut down emissions (排放), and earned some money. In 2012, along with several of her coworkers, she formed the Forest, Nature, and Environment of Ace h Foundation (HAkA). In 2014, HAkA achieved one huge victory. making an oil company pay $30 million for the damage it caused to the ecosystem. Farhan said this landmark victory was historic because it was the first time that Indonesia had fined a company for burning forests. Besides, HAkA also stopped the construction of a dam that put an elephant habitat in Indonesia at risk. HAkA, now a 12-year-old institution, also has programs for women such as assistant lawyer and citizen journalism training and forest guard groups. Farhan said they saw a need to empower women as protectors of the environment because women are much more affected by the effects of environmental destruction and climate change. The conservationist said disasters such as crop failures could affect the financial status (财政状况) of families, making it more likely for them to force women to be in arranged marriages to get out of poverty or relocate to areas full of violence. Farhan has won several awards and she commented, “The work should include everyone from all walks of life. The recognition belongs to all fighting on the ground.” 1．What did nature mean to young Farhan? A．A mother of all things. B．A shelter for wildlife. C．A magical theme park.

Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷). Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further. After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection. Unlike traditional vaccine development, the generation of mRNA vaccines is relatively rapid, which contributes much to the whole world. Karikó was no stranger to awards. In addition to the Nobel Prize, her work was recognized with numerous honors, including the Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research in 2020, the Lasker-DeBakey Medical Research Award in 2021 as well as the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize in 2021. In an interview on her success. she said “I suppose the message of all about this is that perseverance can pay off in the end. I believe in the first 14 years of your life—your teens, your parents, your teachers and your friends. They shape you the person who you will be. ” When asked how to balance her career and the family, her words were “I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family or career, you can have it, and that you just don’t have to over-assist your child.

We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes. The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward. I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper. One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university. Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course. 1．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To present the author’s dream. B．To show the author’s daily life. C．To describe the author’s village. D．To introduce the author’s background. 2．Who played a key role in the author’s childhood? A．His father. B．His uncle.

At my peak, I weighed 320 pounds. Over the years I tried every diet you could think of. I tried personal trainers and fitness camps. The result was always the same — I’ d lose 30-50 pounds; then gain back 40 pounds. I tried C25K (Couch to 5K) so many times because my husband enjoyed running and I tried to like it as well. I hated it and couldn’t help but be reminded of my school days and collecting popsicle (冰棒) sticks for each circle (I was always last). More time went by and the only activity I could bring myself to do in public was Zumba. February 2017 was a game-changing time in my life. Something clicked after an embarrassing moment that involved burpees (立卧撑) in front of a group at my kids’ school event. The next day I asked my husband if he would join me in figuring out my health. (At this time I was 280 pounds.) After losing 15 pounds, I decided to give C25K one more shot (after more than a dozen failed times). In June 2017, I ran for five minutes without stopping. By the end of July I ran my first mile. Reaching the mile was huge in my world because I had built up a mile as if it were a marathon. By December 2017, I completed C25K successfully! A few months later I ran my first race, Texas Ragnar relay. After that, I completed my first half marathon. I caught the running bug and by July I hit a huge milestone — 100 pounds down! After the half marathon, my husband and I were determined to continue running. We kept training for no event in particular. We needed more support for what we were planning — a full marathon. 1．What might C25K be? A．A fitness course. B．A marathon event. C．A school game. D．A running program. 2．What made the author determined to restart running? A．Her husband’s advice. B．Her terrible overall health. C．Her Zumba class experience. D．Her burpee embarrassment. 3．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase in paragraph 3? A．Fell in love with running. B．Joined a running club. C．Showed a gift for running. D．Found running partners. 4．Where can the text be read? A．A lecture for fund-raising. B．A report from a running club. C．A forum for running stories. D．A speech about running benefits. Passage 4 （24-25学年高一上·山东滕州·期末） Sylvain Saudan’s skiing was so alarmingly daring that people struggled to believe his achievements were real. The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope (斜坡) — with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall on France’s Aiguille de Blaitière mountain in 1967. Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos of his ski tracks. Nicknamed the “skier of the impossible”, Saudan looked for slopes from the Himalayas to the Alps, often reaching the tops by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26,500-foot summit (峰顶) of Pakistan’s Gasherbrum I, searching for undeveloped areas in its natural state. “The first to dare something are the real adventurers,” he said in 2016. “It’s the first that matters.” Raised on a farm in the Alps, Saudan didn’t have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor. Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare him for deadly slopes. After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent twenty years “looking for greater challenges and testing new methods,” said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety measures as he shot down Oregon’s Mount Hood, Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal’s Dhaulagiri. Saudan completed his last major journey in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away without a single cut. He “spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches (雪崩), and obituary (讣告) writers,” said The New York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind. “There’s really only one way out,” he said: “Don’t fall down.” 1．How did people react to Saudan’s achievement on the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope?

When I was planning our trip, I knew that a visit to the historic Angkor Wat temples was definitely on our list, but I wasn’t sure about what else to visit in Cambodia. Mrs Wendy Lee from Agate Travel did a really nice job helping us to plan our trip. We had a few conversations with her to describe what we were interested in and she came up with a suggested route and made all the arrangements. From the moment I first contacted her, 6 months before our trip to the end of it, she always replied quickly via email. Cambodia is an amazing place with so much to see. The country is rich in culture and natural beauty. Every place we visited had something unique and special that made it stand out. Cambodian people are really kind, gentle and their hospitality (好客) is wonderful. The hotels were really good, the service outstanding and the guides and drivers knowledgeable, caring and concerned for our safety. Of the wonderful places in Cambodia, Siem Reap temples were the most amazing experience made only better by our guide Tork Borany. He was brilliant in ensuring that we not only saw a range of sites, but we also had a lot of background information, giving us detailed explanations about the places, the historical context, the art and meaning of the symbols and writings that cover the walls and piles of the temples. He also explained to us many legends about the places we visited and the people who lived there in those times. I also must note he was particularly good with the timing of our visits to the busier places, which avoided most of the crowds. What an amazing trip! 1．What was the author’s main concern when planning the trip to Cambodia? A．The cost of the trip. B．The accommodation in Cambodia. C．What to visit besides Angkor Wat. D．How to find a good guide. 2．How did the guide improve the author’s visiting experience in Siem Reap? A．By shortening tourists’ visiting time. B．By sharing historical and cultural knowledge.

B．It was somehow disappointing. C．It was nearly perfect. D．It was challenging and tiring. 主题03 人与自然——环保 Passage1 （23-24学年高一上·山东临沂·期末） Soon after Mr. & Mrs. Bacchus started farming their little patch of land, they faced a major problem — a plague of birds fed on their precious crops. Then, a man stopped on the road outside their house, and asked the couple if he could take photographs of the birds on the property. Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region. Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK. As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. One notable example is the Ajila family, who have devoted themselves to preserving the long-wattled umbrellabird. On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. “Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation,” says Luis Jr., Ajila’s son. “We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations.” Since 2005, Angel Paz has transformed his former dairy farm into a bird reserve. At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says. 1．What advice did the photographer give to the couple? A．Photographing the birds. B．Coexisting with the birds. C．Protecting their precious crops. D．Taking care of their property. 2．What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A．How Ecuador is geographically unique. B．What distinguishes Ecuador’s biodiversity. C．What makes Ecuador a birding destination. D．How birding tourism is operated in Ecuador. 3．What have the Ajila family achieved? A．Helping other farmers shake off poverty. B．Combining profitability with sustainability. C．Applying new technology in modern farming. D．Changing the landscapes of their residential areas. 4．What can we learn from Ángel Paz’s story? A．Well begun is half done. B．It takes time to bear fruit. C．The early bird catches the worm. D．The secret to success is adaptability. Passage2 （24-25学年高一上·山东滨州·期末） Greta Thunberg was born on January 3, 2003, in Stockholm, Sweden. Her parents provided her with an artistic and creative environment when she was young. At the age of 8, Greta first learned about climate change during a school lesson. The knowledge of the coming environmental crisis (危机) deeply troubled her, and she couldn’t understand why so little was being done to handle it. In 2018, Thunberg began a school strike outside the Swedish parliament. For almost three weeks before the Swedish election in September, she sat alone or with a few supporters, handing out informational flyers and demanding stronger measures on climate change from the government. Her actions quickly gained attention, and students around the world began to follow her lead, organizing their own climate strikes.

In December 2018, Greta gave a speech at the United Nations Climate Change Conference(COP24), where she called on world leaders to take immediate action. But it was her speech at the 2019 United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York that truly made headlines. Her passionate request for action on climate change was heard by millions around the world. Greta has received many honors and awards, including being named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. However, she has also faced serious criticism and personal attacks.

Michelle Lee, a young adult librarian, came up with the idea to offer library goers interview accessories such as ties, purses, and briefcases for those who can’t afford to buy them. The idea came to her in 2016 when she gave a talk to high school students about resumes and job seeking. After explaining to the teens that they would be expected to come in business clothes and that backpacks were off-limits, several participants said that they didn’t have nice things to use. She quickly put one and one together and realized that the Riverside library branch—which was filled with about 200 students every day—could be part of the solution by lending out the much-needed interview supplies. Many of the students used the computers to write their resumes and search for jobs, so it would be a convenient place to offer that type of service. With the idea at hand, Lee submitted (提交) a plan to Innovation Project, which enabled library staff to find solutions to problems that they encounter at the library. Her submission won; and she used the funding from the Charles H. Revson Foundation to buy 12 handbags and briefcases. Ties and pocket squares were donated, in part by an employee at Bloomingdale’s. The first accessories were put out at the library in August 2018. People could borrow them for up to three weeks at a time for job interviews, proms, or any other event that requires dressing up. Many people have used the service, including Panarat Imcharoen, a Thailand-native who took out a Kenneth Cole purse for carrying interview necessities because she couldn’t afford a bag large enough to carry them in. “I was surprised, I didn’t know before you could borrow men’s and women’s bags,” Imcharoen said. “That’s a good idea if someone needs it.” 1．What makes the Riverside library branch special? A．Providing books for the needy. B．Having a large collection of movies. C．Lending out interview supplies. D．Offering Job opportunities to people. 2．Why did Michelle Lee choose the Riverside library branch for her idea? A．It was well managed. B．It was conveniently situated. C．It was equipped with computers. D．It was frequented by students. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The effort Lee made for her goal. B．The challenges Lee faced in her work. C．The items Lee-collected for her library. D．The support Lee got from the public. 4．How does Panarat Imcharoen sound when talking about the library’s service? A．Doubtful. B．Astonished. C．Appreciative. D．Humorous. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·山东青岛·期末） After 25 years, of professional experience, Brandi Fields thought she wouldn’t get back to campus again — until her son Kyle’s transformation at Texas Christian University (TCU) made her see education in a new light.

Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·山东潍坊·期末） For as long as Paul Ninson can remember, storytelling has been a part of his DNA．Growing up in Kumasi, Ghana, with his grandparents, he was attracted by the historical stories they shared. “I would contribute in some way to telling my own story. I studied arts in school. When I reached university, I studied clothing design but it wasn’t enough for me,” says Ninson. One day, a friend of his retured from the USA with a camera and that is when things began to get interesting. Ninson was introduced to a new world of photography (摄影). At the time, he had a side business designing and printing T-shirts but he decided to close that business and sold his iPhone to buy a camera. To be different from the other Ghanaian photographers, Ninson took some ideas from a book Blue Ocean Strategy. He made a living by taking pictures during events but he knew photojournalism was his true calling. “My content was different and the pictures I was posting was different. That earned me acceptance to one of the best photography schools in New York, the International Center of Photography,” recalls Ninson. All of a sudden, a world of chances opened up to Ninson. He spent his free time at the New York public library among the thousands of books and images. “I saw photos of Africa that I had never seen before, which made me wonder why these images were in America, but not in Africa. That is how the idea of a photo library began.” Today, that small dream has turned into “the biggest photo library in Africa” as Ninson calls it, the Dikan Center, which opened in December last year with 30,000 books. “Now we are more than a library. We have education programs, a story lab, and a community center which is a space to enjoy free internet and resources for everyone to hang out,” says Ninson. 1．What started Ninson’s journey into photography?

D．It contains 30,000 photos and images. Passage 4 （24-25学年高一上·山东青岛·期末） Douyin influencer Chen Jifang, aged 70, has significantly received 3 million likes for her exercise video clips. For Chen, her passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of a desire to become famous. According to Chen, her health had been poor and she even had to give up her job after giving birth to her daughter because her health was severely affected by the pregnancy (孕期). In 2018, following a physical examination, Chen was diagnosed (诊断) with a series of issues. The doctor suggested that she exercise more to prevent her already poor health from getting worse. Therefore, an overweight Chen started with light jogging, but a fitness coach later advised her to improve her size and her knee before running. Because of this, Chen entered a gym for the first time on Dec 29, 2018. Then she hit the gym every day in 2019. While most people would be concerned about having an elderly family member participate in such hard physical exercise in the gym, it doesn’t bother Chen. Her husband shows his support by doing most of the housework. Her daughter, on the other hand, helps to pick her gym wear. Chen may be a star in her own right, but she is also just one of many senior citizens in China’s major cities who are accepting exercise enthusiastically. According to a 2019 Cheetah Mobile report on the fitness behavior of the elderly, nearly 90 percent of such people in China have fitness habits while 66.4 percent of them exercise almost every day. The report also notes that the traditional means for the elderly to stay fit, such as square dancing and tai chi, have been unable to meet the new needs of the fitness-addicted elderly population. 1．Why did Chen begin to exercise? A．To better her health conditions. B．To lose weight after the diagnosis. C．To gain popularity on social media. D．To make new friends in the gym. 2．What helps Chen stick to her exercise?

Passage 5 （21-22学年高一上·山东济南·期末） With the most attractive view along the road, it is a popular route for cyclists: the road from Land’s End in England to John O’ Groats in Scotland, about 874 miles long. It covers almost the full length of Great Britain. The 12-year-old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route. Chandler took 20 days to finish the challenge. Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles. He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily. Chandler had to push through rainy and windy days. Cycling uphill was also hard. “It was much harder than I thought. I wasn’t expecting so many hills and how busy the roads were,” Chandler said. “But if you put your mind to anything, then no matter how big, you can do it.” Chandler first thought of trying the route when he read an article about it two years ago. Later, as his father’s 50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. He was already used to cycling around his village and to school before starting his journey.

She and her husband were looking for a change of pace in retirement, so eight years ago they traded their house in Malibu for an early 1900s Victorian in Richmond’s museum district. Swerling turned the basement into a studio for her nonprofit organization, Richmond Really Sews!, and she offered free classes to anyone crazy about sewing. Swerling said, “People chat while they’re sewing and become friends — I love it. Sewing allows us to express where we come from and how we feel. We can’t do that if we go to the store.” Members of Richmond Really Sews! are people of different backgrounds. Every Saturday afternoon, they gather around 30 work stations with different sewing machines. On Nov. 2nd, they showcased their work at their annual fundraiser, Richmond Frocktails, a fashion show featuring their handmade creations. While Swerling donates her time and talent, she relies on money raised at the event to cover sewing machine maintenance and supplies. In the spring, the group went to New York City, where they encountered famous fabric designers at Elliott Berman and Metro Textiles, When they returned to Richmond, they received a surprise: a 60-pound box of fabric s from Elliott Berman. “They’re sustainable fabric s from France and Italy and really high-end fabrics,” Swerling said. Swerling says she loves sharing her knowledge as a way of honoring the teachers at California’s Long Beach City College, where she met a significant teacher, Alicia Annas, who helped her research the business and introduced her to friends in Hollywood. Swerling’s first project was “Esperanza” with the American Film Institute in 1982. Though unpaid, the work made her known and brought her into the clothing industry so that she was able to go on to design the costumes for The Munsters Today series and the movie Far North. Over the next 33 years, she designed costumes for major feature films and TV shows.

Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·山东德州·期末） A rural doctor travels miles of unforgiving land by donkey, enduring cold, rain, wind and exhaustion, to visit several dozen families scattered across the highest mountain in the north of Argentina. Dr. Jorge Fusaro has organized medical tours three times a year for the past four years across Chañi, a sacred mountain, which has extreme temperatures, year-round snowy peaks. Fusaro is not only the only doctor many people see, sometimes he’s the only outsider. Doctors may be the only representatives of the state to reach this mountainous region. There are no schools, police, or postal services. Fusaro not only treats residents and leaves enough medicine, he also helps them with paperwork, serves as a mail carrier for delivering important documents to relatives in the city, and organizes training sessions, etc. “Knowing that our medical work gave these communities a better life fills my heart. If we don’t go, no one will,” he reflects. He’s worried that government cuts will make future trips impossible. He’s already had to cancel one trip due to lack of funding. For some people, his arrival is the first time they’ve seen a doctor. It’s almost noon, in Ovejería, a settlement where only 67-year-old Doña Virginia Cari and her family remain. Fusaro helps her prepare lunch. He chats about her life and chores. “My idea of sharing is essential. Making the most of the short time we spend in the communities and trying to live as they do,” he said. “That way, we understand their efforts and worries, their knee or back pain. If they don’t have a bed and we need to sleep on a sheep’s hide, we do it. This helps us think of medical solutions within their possibilities and daily lives.” Doña Virginia says it’s important for her and her family to see Fusaro a few times a year. “He brings the medicines we take here for months,” she said. “The work with animals is hard; we’re old, and our bodies ache.” 1．What is described in paragraph 1?

For Indonesian nature conservationist (环保主义者) Farwiza Farhan, nature is a silent friend. As a child, Farhan often climbed trees whenever she had problems, staying there until she calmed down. Nature has always been there for her. This is why she has been trying to be there for nature when it needs her help. Farhan brought her love for nature to her college years. She took a master’s degree in environmental management at the University of Queensland in Australia. In 2009, while studying at the university, she had an opportunity to work with Carbon Capture and Storage Institute, an international think tank that focused on carbon capture and storage to cut down emissions (排放), and earned some money. In 2012, along with several of her coworkers, she formed the Forest, Nature, and Environment of Ace h Foundation (HAkA). In 2014, HAkA achieved one huge victory. making an oil company pay $30 million for the damage it caused to the ecosystem. Farhan said this landmark victory was historic because it was the first time that Indonesia had fined a company for burning forests. Besides, HAkA also stopped the construction of a dam that put an elephant habitat in Indonesia at risk. HAkA, now a 12-year-old institution, also has programs for women such as assistant lawyer and citizen journalism training and forest guard groups. Farhan said they saw a need to empower women as protectors of the environment because women are much more affected by the effects of environmental destruction and climate change. The conservationist said disasters such as crop failures could affect the financial status (财政状况) of families, making it more likely for them to force women to be in arranged marriages to get out of poverty or relocate to areas full of violence. Farhan has won several awards and she commented, “The work should include everyone from all walks of life. The recognition belongs to all fighting on the ground.” 1．What did nature mean to young Farhan? A．A mother of all things. B．A shelter for wildlife. C．A magical theme park. D．A comforting partner. 2．What drove Farhan to start HAkA? A．Her working pressure. B．Her economic condition. C．Her program in university. D．Her passion from childhood. 3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning HAkA? A．Its strict standards. B．Its business model. C．Its major successes.
