He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年). Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five- year - old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 2．What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs? A．He drew teenagers’ growth in his work. B．He became a working artist when aged 13. C．He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D．He showed his series at the capital art center. 3．Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A．To promote artists by showcasing their work. B．To form the connection between different galleries. C．To expand his own business through themed shows. D．To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 4．Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A．Pioneering. B．Short-lived. C．Popular. D．Unpromising. 5．What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text? A．Helpful and cautious. B．Devoted and creative. C．Humorous and intelligent. D．Knowledgeable and ambitious. 2．(24-25高二上·云南昆明官渡区云南大学附属中学星耀学校·期末)Alaa el-Habashu was shopping for food when he came across a dilapidated (破旧的) 17th-century house being used as a butcher’s shop in the historic Cairo neighbourhood of al-Darb al-Ahmai. “I was surprised by the beauty”, the U. S.-trained architect said of the house. Built of brick and stone, it has a large courtyard and a number of rooms with beautifully painted wooden ceilings. And be struck up, a friendship with the butcher. who owned the building, and received a call from him several years later saying a developer wanted to buy it and pull it down. Determined to save the building, el-Habashi bought it in 2009．Then he spent ten years restoring the house which he named Bayt Yakan and tried to turn it into a community space. Today, its beautifully restored courtyard, with lovely flowers growing under the wooden latticed (装有格栅的) windows, hosts many locally led community activities promoting heritage preservation. Such courtyards played “a key social and economic role” as community centers, el-Habashi said, a role he worked hard to revive. E-Habashi said there were once around 600 historic houses with similar courtyards — all built facing northwest to catch the cool wind — but just 24 are protected as heritage sites. “As for the rest of them, those that are still standing, who knows what state they are in?” he said. “Every day, another one gets pulled down. The loss of such heritage would be irreparable.” Public space is becoming less common in crowded Old Cairo, often covered in dangerous air pollution from traffic-packed streets, and affected by increasingly hot summers due to global warming. “There are very few places where people can come together, away from small apartments and crowded streets,” said el-Habashi. “I hope the old houses can help solve modern problems. They can bring some peace to the neighbourhood. I would love for these houses to become your local parks, where women can bring their kids and sit in the garden.” 2．What did el-Habashi find in al-Darb al-Ahmar area? A．An empty food store. B．An old friend. C．A beautiful historic house. D．A U. S.-trained architect. 3．What did el-Habashi do to Bayt Yakan? A．He rented it out. B．He sold it to a developer. C．He turned it into a butcher’s shop. D．He spent a lot of time repairing it. 4．What do the numbers in paragraph 6 show? A．Many people in this area do not have a house to live in. B．Some community centres are not doing their role properly. C．Preservation of local historic houses is far from satisfactory. D．There are many heritage preservation activities led by local people. 5．What does el-Habashi expect of Bayt Yakan? A．It can be moved out of crowded Old Cairo. B．It can take the place of apartments for people to live in. C．It can be a place for people to come together and find peace. D．It can draw attention to traffic pollution and rising temperatures. 3．(23-24高二上·云南师范大学附属中学·期末)Habiba Othman decided to swap (交换) her flat for adventure. Initially, she swapped just with people from the south of France, but then she swapped globally. Habiba says house-swapping has changed her life and she will continue swapping her flat until she’s seen the world. Habiba’s first introduction into house-swapping was as a teenager watching The Holiday one Christmas. But it was only after re-watching the film in 2020 that Habiba felt inspired to house-swap and solo-travel. Habiba decided to bite the bullet in July 2020, travelling to the south of France in her first swaps. Then, Habiba travelled to the UK, to live in homes across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. She has enjoyed travelling solo (单独地). “I do like travelling with friends, but I prefer to travel alone because it is easier to plan and budget and I’m really lucky my work is very flexible so I can work wherever I want.” Travelling solo — and living in someone’s home and not a hotel also opens up different experiences, she says. She said, “When I travel, I like to live like a local and really immerse myself into the local life and get the real experience. Plus, house swapping is more comfortable.” Another benefit of house-swapping is that it is easier to make friends, Habiba has found. She said, “One time, I swapped houses with a girl in Rome and she took me out to dinner to meet all her friends and that was amazing — they were so warm and welcoming. She is coming to my place for Christmas this year, which is lovely.” As well as having adventure, Habiba estimates she has saved around £20,000 on hotel fees. She said, “I used to use hotels or Airbnb or bed and breakfasts, depending on what I could afford. But if you swap your home with the owners of the one you are visiting, it is completely free. I have basically saved between five and 10k each year by house swapping, rather than using hotels or Airbnb.” 2．What is Habiba’s ambition according to Paragraph 1? A．To swap for flats better than hers. B．To save on living expenses by swapping houses. C．To make friends worldwide by house-swapping. D．To keep swapping houses while touring around the world. 3．What inspired Habiba to try house-swapping? A．Her nature to take adventure and travel alone. B．A teenager she got to know one Christmas. C．Watching the movie The Holiday once again. D．Her pleasant travel experience in southern France. 4．How many benefits of house-swapping are mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 5．Which of the following best describes Habiba? A．Adventurous. B．Tightfisted. C．Faithful. D．Greedy. 4．(24-25高二上·云南云南师范大学附属中学·期末)Inspired by Marco Polo, who traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road more than 700 years ago, Italian traveler Vienna-Cammarota set off from the legendary explorer’s hometown Venice on April 26th, 2022, to retrace the route on foot. With a simple backpack and two trekking poles (徒步手杖), 74-year-old Cammarota has covered 20, 000 km and passed through dozens of countries. The moment she set foot in China on August 29th, she was warmly greeted by people who put on traditional dance and singing performances for her arrival via Irkeshtam, the country’s farthest-west land port in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Starting from Xinjiang, Cammarota has embarked on a 15-month cultural journey across China and will explore over 30 cities in 17 provinces. Her journey will come to an end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China. Throughout her trip, Cammarota witnessed the transformation of the ancient Silk road into a corridor of economic and cultural exchange, “I have seen the bridges, highways, and railways built under China’s Belt and Road Initiative which connect countries in a way that echoes the Silk Road’s historical role in facilitating trade and cultural exchange.” Last year, Cammarota reached Tajikistan, where she visited the China-Tajikistan highway project. The infrastructure project, once completed, is expected to enhance regional connectivity and bring new opportunities. “This project embodies the spirit of BRI — bring hope and development to the countries along the path,” she said. For Cammarota, this journey is more than retracing Marco Polo’s footsteps. She hopes her travel will help people in Italy and the West see the true beauty and greatness of China. “This is a land filled with numerous UNESCO heritage sites, cutting-edge technology, and a harmonious balance between urban development and natural preservation,” she said. Describing herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange and mordern-day Marco Polo, Cammarota noted that “I want people to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age — it’s never too late to pursue your dream” 2．What can we learn about Cammarota?

The prize committee cited “her unmistakable poetic voice that with plain beauty makes individual existence universal”. Gluck is the first American woman to win the award since Toni Morrison in 1993. Gluck, 77, joins a list of literary giants and previous Nobelists who include, in this century, Canadian short-story master Alice Munro, Chinese magical-realist Mo Yan, etc. Gluck’s work includes 12 collections of poetry and a couple of volumes of essays on literary writing. “All are characterized by striving for clarity (清晰). Childhood and family life, the close relationship with parents and siblings is a theme that has remained central to her,” Anders Olsson, the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said. “She seeks the universal, and in this she takes inspiration from myths and classical themes,” Olsson added, citing her 2006 collection Averno, which the committee described as “masterly” for its “visionary interpretation of the myth of Persephone’s fall into hell in the captivity of Hades, the god of death”. Being a professor at Yale and a resident of Cambridge, Gluck also served as U. S. Poet Laureate from 2003 to 2004 and is no stranger to awards. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection of poems titled The Wild Iris, in which “she describes the miraculous return of life after winter in the poem Snowdrops,” the Nobel literature committee said Thursday. She also won the 2014 National Book Award for poetry for Faithful and Virtuous Night. In 2016, President Obama awarded the National Humanities Medal to Gluck in a White House ceremony. The publicity-shy Gluck did not immediately issue any comment about the latest honor for her body of work, which spans more than half a century. In a 2012 interview, she acknowledged that prizes can make “existence in the world easier” but did not amount to the immortality (不朽) of a true artist. 2．Who got the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature? A．Mo Yan. B．Toni Morrison. C．Alice Munro. D．Louise Gluck. 3．Which aspect do Gluck’s poems concentrate on? A．Careers. B．Nature. C．Daily life.

B．She takes it very seriously. C．She thinks she deserves higher honors. D．She doesn’t attach great importance to it. 6．(23-24高二上·云南昆明禄劝县·期末)Pamela Malhotra has always attached great importance to education. However, life always seemed to “get in the way” every time she tried to finish her bachelor’s degree. The single mom was so devoted to working to support her two children that she repeatedly put her own education goals on hold, giving up her college program on two separate occasions over the years. When he was just five years old, her son Bonifacio Malhotra noticed her struggling to get her degree, and he made a promise to help her. “I remember I just told my mom… one day, it’s gonna be you and me,” Bonifacio said. “We’re going to gain our degrees at the same time.” Those words proved to be predictable for the mom-and-son duo, who currently walked across the stage at the university to collect their bachelor’s degrees together! “That promise, he never allowed it to die,” said Pamela. “He continuously confirmed that we’re gonna do this.” Their path to graduation wasn’t easy, but Bonifacio stayed true to his promise and helped his mother along the way. The two hold two associate’s degrees each, so in the fall of 2021 they registered together in bachelor-level online courses. They both found the classes challenging, but Bonifacio stepped up as the cheerleader his mother needed. “Mom, you’ve got to keep it going. I know you want to stop. We must keep going,” Bonifacio recalled. “The main thing was just trying to get everything lined up and stay on top of all the work.” It took the Malhotras two years to finish their bachelor’s degrees, hers in humanities and Bonifacio’s in public safety administration. Pamela plans to stay at her job as a coordinator, and Bonifacio has accepted a job at university to help other students succeed in college, too. Pamela said she was incredibly proud of her son’s achievement, and she personally couldn’t have reached her lifelong goal without the support of her family, especially him. “Between my son and my daughter, they were my greatest supporter,” Pamela proudly said. 2．Why Pamela Malhotra couldn’t finish her bachelor’s degree? A．Because she didn’t work hard enough. B．Because she was devoted to working to support her two children. C．Because her husband did not allowed her to further study. D．Because she couldn’t find a proper major. 3．What do we know about the Malhotras? A．They took online courses at the same time. B．Pamela thought the courses were more challenging. C．Bonifacio majored in humanities at university. D．Pamela now works as a university teacher. 4．Which of the following statements can best describe Bonifacio? A．He’s the good man of the house.

Quinn, also vice chairman of the Yuan Longping International Rice Development Forum, shared his memory of the “father of hybrid rice” in an interview with Xinhua on Sunday. Quinn first met Yuan in October 2004, when Yuan traveled to Des Moines in the U.S. state of Iowa to receive the World Food Prize. As they walked out of the airport , Quinn received a call and stepped aside to speak. When he turned back a minute or two later, he lost Yuan. “I had never before ‘lost’ a laureate(贵人),” he said. After a desperate search, he found Professor Yuan surrounded by a group of smiling graduate students from Iowa State University who so admired him that they wanted to take him off for a meal and conversation. Quinn admired Yuan as a teacher. “He always had time to answer questions and speak with young scientists and students. The American high school students we sent to his research center each year always returned filled with knowledge and a deep desire to learn more.” In Quinn’s eyes, Yuan was incredibly humble, never seeking fame, and focused only on hard work and results that could help lift people out of poverty. With a ‘down to earth’ attitude, Yuan greatly reduced hunger and provided farmers with surplus income through his discovery of hybrid rice. Learning of Yuan’s passing away on Saturday, Quinn issued a statement to send his deepest sympathy to Yuan’s family and colleagues in China, as well as his admirers across the world. “Professor Yuan Longping, who was truly beloved in his country and by all of us who knew him, will be greatly missed. His legacy will provide inspiration to generations far into the future, in China and across the world,” Quinn said in the statement. 2．How did Kenneth Quinn feel when he found Yuan in a group of students?

It was transported via a commercial airline to Paris, France, marking the first time a donated heart has flown across the Atlantic. At the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, surgeon Guillaume Lebreton successfully transplanted the heart into a 70-year-old man with a heart condition. Lebreton called the success “an achievement previously unimaginable in organ transplantation”. It was achieved as part of a pilot study known as PEGASE, which aims to establish whether successful transplant is possible after the heart has been preserved for long periods of time — specifically, on journeys from Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. The heart was preserved using a special technique where a heart is kept cold. While there have been clinical trials exploring such a technique, according to the surgeon, this is the first time it’s been tested for such extreme transport times. If the results seen on this occasion are successfully used in the rest of the study, it’s hoped that the technique could have “the potential to redefine the landscape of heart transplantation with unlimited geographical procurement (获取) and lowered time limits”. At present, transplanting hearts is often a race against time — they generally need to be transplanted within four hours of being removed from a donor. Increasing the geographical resources of potential donors could also have an impact on transplant list waiting times. In the US, for example, there are around 3,000 people on the waiting list for a heart on any given day, but only 2,000 hearts are available each year. Depending on qualification criteria, some people may be waiting for years; being able to get hearts from a wider range of places could cut down that time. “We wanted to make this operation reproduceable and keep transport costs bearable,” Lebreton wrote. Unlike conventional donor-heart transport practices involving expensive private planes, we flew in the economy lass in a commercial airliner.” 2．What can we know about PEGASE? A．It focuses on heart transplantation. B．It was launched by Lebreton. C．It ignores treatment for heart disease. D．It has proved unsuccessful. 3．What is the main problem with heart transplantation now? A．The chance of success is very low. B．Transplantation time is limited C．There are no qualified donors. D．The surgeons are inexperienced. 4．Why are the figures mentioned in paragraph 4? A．To emphasize the rome of hearts. B．To prove the qualification of potential donors. C．To say the impact of a transplant. D．To show the need for wider sources of donors. 5．What’s Lebreton’s attitude to using commercial airhners to transport donated hearts? A．Approving. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Indifferent. 9．(23-24高二上·云南昆明第八中学·期末)In most places a traffic signal in the middle of the desert, especially one for camels, may well be a mirage, but in this case it is all too real. At the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot in Gansu Province, northwest China, the world’s first traffic light for camels was set up to manage traffic in the popular tourist area. According to a Chinese state-owned wire service, the problem was that the walking paths for human beings often crossed camel paths, creating traffic chaos (混乱). As a solution, workers cut a gap in the walkway and created a separate route for the camels. The traffic light now manages the flow of traffic at the new crossing. Camel-riding tours are a big attraction for visitors to the area. But visitors to the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot will now be safe from camel crashes, thanks to the new traffic signal, which turns green to let the animals cross and red to make them stop. The Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot is already a tourist hot spot thanks to its breathtaking sand dunes (沙丘), an oasis (绿洲) and even the occasional snowstorm which create otherworldly scenery. The strange camel traffic signal could well become another attraction to enjoy on a visit to the scenic area. The area is close to Dunhuang City on the edge of the Gobi Desert, and it used to be an essential resting point for travellers on the Silk Road. Dunhuang’s best-known tourist attraction is the Mogao Caves. The traffic signal is unlikely ever to reach the significance of the Mogao Caves, but at least it might help prevent a few camel traffic jams. 2．What does the underlined word “mirage” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Reality. B．Fantasy. C．Scenery. D．Mistake. 3．Why did the workers create a separate route for the camels? A．To solve the traffic chaos. B．To have camels go through. C．To attract visitors to the area. D．To protect the visitors’ safety. 4．What can we infer about the camel traffic signal from the last 2 paragraphs? A．It has become a tourist hot spot. B．It has prevented camel traffic jams. C．It could improve the tourism of the scenic area. D．It could greatly increase the camels’ population. 5．What is the purpose of this text? A．To criticize the traffic jam. B．To tell us a travel experience. C．To introduce a camel traffic light. D．To analyze a natural phenomenon. 10．(23-24高二上·云南保山、文山州·期末)“What kind of rubbish are you?” This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has brought about weary groans over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (服 从) and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish. Violators face the prospect of fines and worse. They could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets. Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London’s annual output and rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift through the waste, plucking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China churns out 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks a year. Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous (有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most annoying are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad. 2．Which definition fits the underlined word “Violators” in Paragraph 2 most? A．People who don’t sort the waste. B．People who don’t inquire about the nature of rubbish. C．People who don’t follow the regulations. D．People who don’t throw the trash on time. 3．What are the residents dissatisfied with most? A．Short scheduled time for throwing away the trash. B．Complicated distinctions among the four categories of trash. C．Being observed by monitors when tossing the garbage. D．Being fined for improper behaviors. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards the trash-sorting regulations according to the text? A．Doubtful B．Neutral. C．Indifferent. D．Sympathetic. 5．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．A Restart of Trash-sorting B．What Kind of Rubbish Are You C．A New Time of Garbage Classification D．A Recycling System Is Needed in Shanghai 主题02 人与自我 ——个人成长、梦想追求、自我突破、毅力与奋斗 1．(24-25高二上·云南西双版纳傣族第一中学等四校·期末)Nuclear expert Peng Shilu once said that he only did two things in his entire life: one was to build nuclear submarines (核潜艇), and the other to build nuclear power plants. Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations. Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (化工机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power. In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction. During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China. Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions. 2．According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE about Peng Shilu? A．He only focused on building nuclear submarines. B．He considered himself unimportant in China’s nuclear power development. C．He was the single founder of China’s nuclear power industry. D．He didn’t hold any leading positions in early nuclear power projects. 3．Peng Shilu willingly transferred to the atomic energy major in 1956 mainly because ____________. A．he wanted to get more opportunities to study abroad B．he was attracted by the high-salary prospects in the field. C．he had a strong sense of national responsibility D．he thought it was an easy major to study 4．From the passage, we can infer that Peng Shilu was a person who was ____________. A．shy and careful B．selfless and devoted C．eager and confident D．curious and modest 5．Which of the following is the proper title for the passage? A．China Honors a Nuclear Power Expert B．Peng Shilu Built Nuclear Submarines C．Peng Shilu’s Exploration of Chemical Machinery D．A Nuclear Hero Devoted Himself to His Country 2．(24-25高二上·云南昭通昭通第一中学教研联盟·期末)Not long ago, video clips of Zhang Jianna directing foreigners have gone viral online. Her fluent English and confident behavior have deeply impressed the viewers. The 49-year-old Zhang is a migrant worker from a rural village in Hebei province. With only a high school diploma, she had previously worked as a restaurant server. In 2012, she took on the role of a sanitation worker in the embassy area of Sanlitun in Beijing’s Chaoyang district. One morning, a foreigner approached her, gently tapped her shoulder, and spoke a long string of unfamiliar words to her. Standing there, her mind going bewildered and blank, Zhang didn’t know how to react. The special experience profoundly moved Zhang, making up her mind to learn English. “My goal is quite simple. I just want to help whenever someone is in need, whether it’s asking for directions, inquiring about visa procedures, or telling them about the embassy area I am responsible for,” said Zhang. At the age of 40, without a tutor, she began learning English from her children’s textbooks, starting with basic words and phrases commonly used for giving directions. With no fixed study hours, she utilized every spare moment. While others rested, she memorized vocabulary and practiced speaking. Upon arriving home after work, she would note down new knowledge points and review them until thoroughly understood. Over the years, she filled over a dozen notebooks with her notes. “Learning English at an older age, I would easily forget the words I learned the previous day, which is the biggest challenge,” Zhang said. However, she persisted, reviewing words at night and then repeating them one more time the next day morning. To date, she has accumulated a vocabulary of around 3,000 English words, enabling her to converse fluently with foreigners. “Growing up in a rural area without a college education, I sometimes feared being looked down upon. But every time I help a stranger in English, I feel incredibly accomplished,” said she. 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Zhang got a university diploma. B．Zhang gets a position as a sanitation worker. C．Zhang used to communicate with the foreigners. D．Zhang wants to be an English tutor for her children. 3．What’s the main factor that motivated Zhang to learn English? A．The curiosity for a language. B．A desire to promote her income. C．A skill required by her leader. D．A special encounter with a foreigner. 4．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “utilize” in Paragraph 5? A．Made use of. B．Set aside. C．Figured out. D．Abused. 5．Which of the following can best describe Zhang? A．Hard-working and creative. B．Forgetful and brave. C．Persevering and determined. D．Optimistic and ambitious. 3．(22-23高三·云南昆明第一中学·)A few people are born resilient (自强不息). Liz Murray is one of them. Her parents were cocaine addicts who spent most of the family’s money in feeding their habits. Liz explains that as a result, she and her sister were neglected. The girls often lacked food and warm clothes. By age 15, Liz was homeless. Her mother had died of AIDS, and her father was on the streets. Liz made a swear to herself after her mother’s death that her life would be different. She refused to end up like her mom and decided that the best way to avoid that fate was to go back to school. Liz Murray stuck to her plan firmly. She stood out in her high school courses in an accelerated two-year program. Liz Murray applied for a New York Times scholarship offered to needy local students.

Her reaction to the acceptance letter was to scream with delight. When she looks back on where she has come from and the burdens her parents gave her, Liz says that she is neither bitter nor angry. She understood, from an early age, that they had a disease that prevented them from giving her more than they did. She misses having her family together. And her father, with whom she is now close, has developed AIDS. Liz says she doesn’t feel like she has moved past the events of her childhood, rather they’ve stayed with her and are part of everything about who she is. She has learned from her experiences and makes use of the lessons. 2．Why were Liz and her sister neglected? A．Because their parents were homeless. B．Because their mother suffered from AIDS.

I had three open days and a desire to save some turtles. And so, away I went to Huatulco with Wildcoast, a group of champions-for-change who were protecting coastal and marine ecosystem in the U.S. and Mexico. I was taken to La Escobilla to experience Wildcoast in action. This protected beach, one hour north of Huatulco, is where mass turtle nesting happens, lasting just four days during rainy season, hundreds of thousands of female sea turtles swinging their way ashore to lay their eggs. Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities. Luckily, Wildcoast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats by monitoring temperatures and humidity. Thanks to their efforts, the sea turtles have made a major comeback, with now over 72 million turtles being born on the beaches that Wildcoast protects. I got to hold 50 of the tiny creatures in a bowl. Despite an average laying of 100 eggs, just one in 1,000 baby turtles will make it to adulthood. It was time to liberate (解放) those little creatures. Out spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others barely moved in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to spread out across the beach. With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1,000.” Nature was cruel. After 30 long minutes, the last creature made his way to the sea. 1．What do we know about the Wildcoast? A．It is a fishing village. B．It is a national natural reserve. C．It is located in Huatulco. D．It aims to preserve marine ecosystem. 2．The baby turtles are threatened by various factors except ________. A．the cruel hunters B．the rapid development C．the extreme weather D．the oil-polluted ocean 3．What do the underlined words “full steam ahead” in paragraph 4 mean? A．With slow pace and fear. B．With all energy and enthusiasm. C．With full warning and curiosity. D．With great satisfaction and responsibility. 4．What can we learn from the author’s experience in saving baby turtles? A．Think twice before you leap. B．Stop struggling and you stop living. C．Always prepare for a rainy day. D．When the buying stops, the killing can too. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 记叙文 阅读理解B篇 以下汇编的阅读理解B篇按三大主题分类排列，按难度由低到高排列： 主题01 人与社会 ——文化传承、社会现象、公益行为、艺术交流、城市建设 1.少年艺术家Nalin创办画廊，为年轻艺术家提供展示平台 难度：0.65 2.建筑师Alaa修复历史建筑，振兴社区文化空间 难度：0.65 3.Habiba通过房屋交换旅行，体验不同文化并节省开支 难度：0.65 4.意大利旅行者重走马可·波罗之路，促进中西文化交流 难度：0.65 5.诗人Louise Glück获诺贝尔文学奖及其文学成就 难度：0.65 6.母子互相支持，共同完成大学学业 难度：0.65 7.袁隆平的杂交水稻贡献与其人格魅力 难度：0.65 8.首例跨大西洋心脏移植成功，医学运输突破 难度：0.65 9.景区设立骆驼红绿灯，管理旅游交通 难度：0.65 10.上海实施垃圾分类制度与社会反应 难度：0.65 主题02 人与自我 ——个人成长、梦想追求、自我突破、毅力与奋斗 1.核专家彭士禄一生奉献中国核电事业 难度：0.85 2.环卫工人张建娜自学英语，实现与外国人交流 难度：0.65 3.Liz Murray从无家可归到考入哈佛的奋斗历程 难度：0.65 4.6岁女孩周昭妍（Miumiu）展现惊人音乐才华 难度：0.65 主题03 人与自然 ——生态保护、人与自然的关系、环保行动 1.Wildcoast组织保护海龟栖息地与作者参与放归经历 难度：0.65 主题01 人与社会 ——文化传承、社会现象、公益行为、艺术交流、城市建设 1．(24-25高二上·浙江名校协作体·)By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年). Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five- year - old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 2．What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs? A．He drew teenagers’ growth in his work. B．He became a working artist when aged 13. C．He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D．He showed his series at the capital art center. 3．Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A．To promote artists by showcasing their work. B．To form the connection between different galleries. C．To expand his own business through themed shows. D．To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 4．Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A．Pioneering. B．Short-lived. C．Popular. D．Unpromising. 5．What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text? A．Helpful and cautious. B．Devoted and creative. C．Humorous and intelligent. D．Knowledgeable and ambitious. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【难度】0.65 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了15岁的多伦多青少年纳林·卡马特因为无法参加评审展览而受挫，但这激发了他为更多年轻艺术家提供展示机会的决心。在父母的支持下，他创办了Little EGG Gallery的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.(就在那时，他遇到了一个障碍，在一份多页申请表的最后一行发现提交作品的最低年龄是18岁。)”可知，Nalin Kamat因为年龄问题而被取消了参加评审展览的资格。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work.(“我想，如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太棒了，”现年15岁的纳林说。在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，并创办了Little EGG Gallery，现在这家画廊通过向任何展示的作品收取小额悬挂费，已经足够盈利来维持生计了。)”可知，他创办Little EGG Gallery的目的是为了给年轻艺术家提供一个展示才华的舞台。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery(那次拒绝成为了他创作的动力。“我想，如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太棒了，”现年15岁的纳林说。在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，并创办了Little EGG Gallery。)”根据第四段“a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void ( 空白) in the art world.”（一个有着非常优秀想法的强大年轻艺术家——为展示年轻人的天才创造了一个空间。这是艺术界的一个空白）可知，Nalin想要为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，于是他租了一个店面并创办了Little EGG Gallery，这是一个创新的想法，因此可以用pioneering（开创性的）来形容他的想法。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist.(到纳林·卡马特13岁时，这位多伦多少年已经踏上了成为职业艺术家的道路。)”、根据文章第二段“That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.(就在那时，他遇到了一个障碍，在一份多页申请表的最后一行发现提交作品的最低年龄是18岁。)”和文章第三段“That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15.

S.-trained architect said of the house. Built of brick and stone, it has a large courtyard and a number of rooms with beautifully painted wooden ceilings. And be struck up, a friendship with the butcher. who owned the building, and received a call from him several years later saying a developer wanted to buy it and pull it down. Determined to save the building, el-Habashi bought it in 2009．Then he spent ten years restoring the house which he named Bayt Yakan and tried to turn it into a community space. Today, its beautifully restored courtyard, with lovely flowers growing under the wooden latticed (装有格栅的) windows, hosts many locally led community activities promoting heritage preservation. Such courtyards played “a key social and economic role” as community centers, el-Habashi said, a role he worked hard to revive. E-Habashi said there were once around 600 historic houses with similar courtyards — all built facing northwest to catch the cool wind — but just 24 are protected as heritage sites. “As for the rest of them, those that are still standing, who knows what state they are in?” he said. “Every day, another one gets pulled down. The loss of such heritage would be irreparable.” Public space is becoming less common in crowded Old Cairo, often covered in dangerous air pollution from traffic-packed streets, and affected by increasingly hot summers due to global warming. “There are very few places where people can come together, away from small apartments and crowded streets,” said el-Habashi. “I hope the old houses can help solve modern problems. They can bring some peace to the neighbourhood. I would love for these houses to become your local parks, where women can bring their kids and sit in the garden.” 2．What did el-Habashi find in al-Darb al-Ahmar area? A．An empty food store. B．An old friend. C．A beautiful historic house. D．A U. S.-trained architect. 3．What did el-Habashi do to Bayt Yakan? A．He rented it out. B．He sold it to a developer. C．He turned it into a butcher’s shop. D．He spent a lot of time repairing it. 4．What do the numbers in paragraph 6 show? A．Many people in this area do not have a house to live in. B．Some community centres are not doing their role properly. C．Preservation of local historic houses is far from satisfactory. D．There are many heritage preservation activities led by local people. 5．What does el-Habashi expect of Bayt Yakan? A．It can be moved out of crowded Old Cairo. B．It can take the place of apartments for people to live in. C．It can be a place for people to come together and find peace. D．It can draw attention to traffic pollution and rising temperatures. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．C 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Alaa el-Habashu在开罗老城区发现了一座破旧但美丽的17世纪老房子，他买下并花费十年时间修复，希望将其打造成一个社区空间，促进遗产保护。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Alaa el-Habashu was shopping for food when he came across a dilapidated (破旧的) 17th-century house being used as a butcher’s shop in the historic Cairo neighbourhood of al-Darb al-Ahmai. (Alaa el-Habashu在购买食物时，在开罗历史悠久的al-Darb al-Ahmai街区，发现了一座被用作肉铺的、破旧的17世纪房屋)”和第二段中“‘I was surprised by the beauty’, the U. S.-trained architect said of the house.(“我被它的美惊呆了，”这位在美国受训的建筑师这样评价这座房子)”可知，el-Habashi在开罗老城的al-Darb al-Ahmar区域发现了一座美丽且有历史意义的房子。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Determined to save the building, el-Habashi bought it in 2009. Then he spent ten years restoring the house which he named Bayt Yakan and tried to turn it into a community space.(决心拯救这座建筑，el-Habashi在2009年买下了它。然后他花了十年时间修复这座他命名为Bayt Yakan的房子，并试图将其变成一个社区空间)”可知，el-Habashi对Bayt Yakan房子进行了长时间的修复。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第六段“E-Habashi said there were once around 600 historic houses with similar courtyards — all built facing northwest to catch the cool wind — but just 24 are protected as heritage sites. ‘As for the rest of them, those that are still standing, who knows what state they are in?’ he said. ‘Every day, another one gets pulled down. The loss of such heritage would be irreparable.’(E-Habashi说，这里曾经有大约600座带有类似庭院的历史建筑，它们都是朝西北建造的，以捕捉凉爽的风，但只有24座被保护为遗产地。“至于其余那些仍然矗立的，谁知道它们现在处于什么状态?”他说。“每天都有一座被拆除。这样的遗产损失将是无法弥补的。”)”可知，第六段中的数字表明在600座历史建筑中，只有24座得到保护，说明当地历史建筑的保护远不能令人满意。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中el-Habashi的话“I hope the old houses can help solve modern problems. They can bring some peace to the neighbourhood. I would love for these houses to become your local parks, where women can bring their kids and sit in the garden.(我希望老房子可以帮助解决现代问题。他们可以给周边地区带来一些安宁。我希望这些房子能成为你们当地的公园，妇女们可以带着孩子坐在花园里)”可知，el-Habashi希望Bayt Yakan成为社区居民聚集并享受安宁的场所，能成为人们聚集在一起寻找宁静的地方。故选C项。 3．(23-24高二上·云南师范大学附属中学·期末)Habiba Othman decided to swap (交换) her flat for adventure. Initially, she swapped just with people from the south of France, but then she swapped globally. Habiba says house-swapping has changed her life and she will continue swapping her flat until she’s seen the world. Habiba’s first introduction into house-swapping was as a teenager watching The Holiday one Christmas. But it was only after re-watching the film in 2020 that Habiba felt inspired to house-swap and solo-travel. Habiba decided to bite the bullet in July 2020, travelling to the south of France in her first swaps. Then, Habiba travelled to the UK, to live in homes across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. She has enjoyed travelling solo (单独地). “I do like travelling with friends, but I prefer to travel alone because it is easier to plan and budget and I’m really lucky my work is very flexible so I can work wherever I want.” Travelling solo — and living in someone’s home and not a hotel also opens up different experiences, she says. She said, “When I travel, I like to live like a local and really immerse myself into the local life and get the real experience. Plus, house swapping is more comfortable.” Another benefit of house-swapping is that it is easier to make friends, Habiba has found. She said, “One time, I swapped houses with a girl in Rome and she took me out to dinner to meet all her friends and that was amazing — they were so warm and welcoming. She is coming to my place for Christmas this year, which is lovely.” As well as having adventure, Habiba estimates she has saved around £20,000 on hotel fees. She said, “I used to use hotels or Airbnb or bed and breakfasts, depending on what I could afford. But if you swap your home with the owners of the one you are visiting, it is completely free. I have basically saved between five and 10k each year by house swapping, rather than using hotels or Airbnb.” 2．What is Habiba’s ambition according to Paragraph 1? A．To swap for flats better than hers. B．To save on living expenses by swapping houses. C．To make friends worldwide by house-swapping. D．To keep swapping houses while touring around the world. 3．What inspired Habiba to try house-swapping? A．Her nature to take adventure and travel alone. B．A teenager she got to know one Christmas. C．Watching the movie The Holiday once again. D．Her pleasant travel experience in southern France. 4．How many benefits of house-swapping are mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 5．Which of the following best describes Habiba? A．Adventurous. B．Tightfisted. C．Faithful. D．Greedy. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Habiba Othman受电影启发开始全球房屋交换旅行，享受独自探索并沉浸当地生活，迄今已节省约2万英镑住宿费的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Habiba says house-swapping has changed her life and she will continue swapping her flat until she’s seen the world.(哈比巴说，换房子改变了她的生活，她将继续换房子，直到她见识过这个世界。)”可知，哈比巴的野心是在周游世界的同时不停地换房子。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Habiba’s first introduction into house-swapping was as a teenager watching The Holiday one Christmas. But it was only after re-watching the film in 2020 that Habiba felt inspired to house-swap and solo-travel. (哈比巴第一次接触房屋交换是在一个圣诞节，当时她还是个青少年，正在看《假日》。但直到2020年重新看了这部电影后，哈比巴才受到启发，开始换房子和独自旅行。)”可知，再看一遍电影《假日》激发了哈比巴尝试换房子。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Travelling solo — and living in someone’s home and not a hotel also opens up different experiences, she says. She said, “When I travel, I like to live like a local and really immerse myself into the local life and get the real experience. Plus, house swapping is more comfortable.” Another benefit of house-swapping is that it is easier to make friends, Habiba has found. (她说，独自旅行——住在别人家里而不是酒店——也会带来不同的体验。她说：“当我旅行的时候，我喜欢像当地人一样生活，让自己真正沉浸在当地的生活中，获得真正的体验。另外，换房子更舒服。”哈比巴发现，换房子的另一个好处是更容易交到朋友。)”可知，哈比巴提到了换房子的3个好处：开启不同的体验，更加舒服，便于交友。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“As well as having adventure, Habiba estimates she has saved around £20,000 on hotel fees. (除了冒险，哈比巴估计她还省下了大约2万英镑的酒店费用。)”结合文章大意，哈比巴喜欢独自旅行，在旅途中和别人交换住所，并且她要用这种方式走遍世界，由此可见她是一个具有冒险精神的旅行者。故选A。 4．(24-25高二上·云南云南师范大学附属中学·期末)Inspired by Marco Polo, who traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road more than 700 years ago, Italian traveler Vienna-Cammarota set off from the legendary explorer’s hometown Venice on April 26th, 2022, to retrace the route on foot. With a simple backpack and two trekking poles (徒步手杖), 74-year-old Cammarota has covered 20, 000 km and passed through dozens of countries. The moment she set foot in China on August 29th, she was warmly greeted by people who put on traditional dance and singing performances for her arrival via Irkeshtam, the country’s farthest-west land port in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Starting from Xinjiang, Cammarota has embarked on a 15-month cultural journey across China and will explore over 30 cities in 17 provinces. Her journey will come to an end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China. Throughout her trip, Cammarota witnessed the transformation of the ancient Silk road into a corridor of economic and cultural exchange, “I have seen the bridges, highways, and railways built under China’s Belt and Road Initiative which connect countries in a way that echoes the Silk Road’s historical role in facilitating trade and cultural exchange.” Last year, Cammarota reached Tajikistan, where she visited the China-Tajikistan highway project. The infrastructure project, once completed, is expected to enhance regional connectivity and bring new opportunities. “This project embodies the spirit of BRI — bring hope and development to the countries along the path,” she said. For Cammarota, this journey is more than retracing Marco Polo’s footsteps. She hopes her travel will help people in Italy and the West see the true beauty and greatness of China. “This is a land filled with numerous UNESCO heritage sites, cutting-edge technology, and a harmonious balance between urban development and natural preservation,” she said. Describing herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange and mordern-day Marco Polo, Cammarota noted that “I want people to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age — it’s never too late to pursue your dream” 2．What can we learn about Cammarota? A．She fully equipped herself with devices before departure. B．She was impressed by the charm and beauty in China. C．She focused on providing high-quality introduction. D．She spent 15 months travelling from Venice, Italy to Beijing, China. 3．What does the underlined word “echoes” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Reflects. B．Cites. C．Anticipates. D．Adapts. 4．Which is NOT the purpose for Cammarota to set about her journey? A．To follow the footsteps of Marco Polo. B．To gain recognition from the public. C．To set a positive example to her peers. D．To bridge the communication between the West and China. 5．Why did Cammarota name herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange? A．Because she is totally qualified for the position. B．Because she has undertaken the task without any hesitation. C．Because she has applied the theory into practice successfully. D．Because she has committed herself to promoting cultural exchange. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 【难度】0.65 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述74岁意大利旅行者Cammarota重走马可・波罗之路，见证丝路变迁，促进中西文化交流，传递追梦精神。 1．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For Cammarota, this journey is more than retracing Marco Polo’s footsteps. She hopes her travel will help people in Italy and the West see the true beauty and greatness of China. ‘This is a land filled with numerous UNESCO heritage sites, cutting-edge technology, and a harmonious balance between urban development and natural preservation,’ she said.(对 Cammarota 来说，这次旅行不仅仅是重走马可・波罗的足迹。她希望她的旅行能帮助意大利和西方的人们看到中国真正的美丽和伟大。她说：‘这是一片拥有众多联合国教科文组织遗产地、尖端技术以及城市发展与自然保护之间和谐平衡的土地。’)”可知，她对中国的魅力和美丽印象深刻。故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Throughout her trip, Cammarota witnessed the transformation of the ancient Silk road into a corridor of economic and cultural exchange, ‘I have seen the bridges, highways, and railways built under China’s Belt and Road Initiative which connect countries in a way that echoes the Silk Road’s historical role in facilitating trade and cultural exchange.’(在她的整个旅程中，Cammarota见证了古代丝绸之路转变为经济和文化交流的走廊，‘我看到了在中国‘一带一路’倡议下修建的桥梁、公路和铁路，它们连接各国的方式echoes 丝绸之路在促进贸易和文化交流方面的历史作用。’)”可知，现在“一带一路”倡议下的建设和丝绸之路在促进贸易和文化交流方面的作用类似，所以echoes应是“反映，类似”之意。A 选项“Reflects (反映)”符合。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Describing herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange and mordern-day Marco Polo, Cammarota noted that ‘I want people to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age—it’s never too late to pursue your dream’(Cammarota 将自己描述为文化交流大使和现代马可・波罗，她指出：‘我想让人们了解马可・波罗和丝绸之路，但我也想向我这个年龄的女性传递一个信息 —— 追求梦想永远不嫌晚’)”以及倒数第二段“For Cammarota, this journey is more than retracing Marco Polo’s footsteps. She hopes her travel will help people in Italy and the West see the true beauty and greatness of China.(对 Cammarota 来说，这次旅行不仅仅是重走马可・波罗的足迹。她希望她的旅行能帮助意大利和西方的人们看到中国真正的美丽和伟大。)”可知，她旅行目的有重走马可・波罗足迹、给同龄人树立榜样以及促进中西交流，未提及为了获得公众认可。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For Cammarota, this journey is more than retracing Marco Polo’s footsteps.

S. Poet Laureate (桂冠 诗人) Louise Gluck. The prize committee cited “her unmistakable poetic voice that with plain beauty makes individual existence universal”. Gluck is the first American woman to win the award since Toni Morrison in 1993. Gluck, 77, joins a list of literary giants and previous Nobelists who include, in this century, Canadian short-story master Alice Munro, Chinese magical-realist Mo Yan, etc. Gluck’s work includes 12 collections of poetry and a couple of volumes of essays on literary writing. “All are characterized by striving for clarity (清晰). Childhood and family life, the close relationship with parents and siblings is a theme that has remained central to her,” Anders Olsson, the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said. “She seeks the universal, and in this she takes inspiration from myths and classical themes,” Olsson added, citing her 2006 collection Averno, which the committee described as “masterly” for its “visionary interpretation of the myth of Persephone’s fall into hell in the captivity of Hades, the god of death”. Being a professor at Yale and a resident of Cambridge, Gluck also served as U. S. Poet Laureate from 2003 to 2004 and is no stranger to awards. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection of poems titled The Wild Iris, in which “she describes the miraculous return of life after winter in the poem Snowdrops,” the Nobel literature committee said Thursday. She also won the 2014 National Book Award for poetry for Faithful and Virtuous Night. In 2016, President Obama awarded the National Humanities Medal to Gluck in a White House ceremony. The publicity-shy Gluck did not immediately issue any comment about the latest honor for her body of work, which spans more than half a century. In a 2012 interview, she acknowledged that prizes can make “existence in the world easier” but did not amount to the immortality (不朽) of a true artist. 2．Who got the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature? A．Mo Yan. B．Toni Morrison. C．Alice Munro. D．Louise Gluck. 3．Which aspect do Gluck’s poems concentrate on? A．Careers. B．Nature. C．Daily life. D．Classical myths. 4．How does the author develop Paragraph 3? A．By presenting Gluck’s outstanding achievements. B．By proving Gluck’s great passion for writing. C．By showing Gluck’s contributions to literature. D．By stressing Gluck’s influence on other poets. 5．What is Gluck’s attitude towards the honor she has received? A．She is content with it. B．She takes it very seriously. C．She thinks she deserves higher honors. D．She doesn’t attach great importance to it. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．D 【难度】0.65 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述2020年诺贝尔文学奖前美国桂冠诗人Louise Gluck的事迹和杰出成就。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to former U. S. Poet Laureate (桂冠诗人) Louise Gluck.( 2020年诺贝尔文学奖被授予美国前桂冠诗人Louise Gluck。)”可知，2020年，诺贝尔文学奖的获得者是Louise Gluck。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段““All are characterized by striving for clarity (清晰) . Childhood and family life, the close relationship with parents and siblings is a theme that has remained central to her, ”Anders Olsson, the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said.(“所有这些都以追求清晰为特点。童年和家庭生活，与父母和兄弟姐妹的亲密关系，一直是她关注的主题，”诺贝尔文学委员会主席Anders Olsson说。)”可知，Louise Gluck关注的主题是童年和家庭生活，与父母和兄弟姐妹的亲密关系，这些主题都与日常生活相关。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Being a professor at Yale and a resident of Cambridge, Gluck also served as U. S. Poet Laureate from 2003 to 2004 and is no stranger to awards. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection of poems titled The Wild Iris, in which “she describes the miraculous return of life after winter in the poem Snowdrops, ”the Nobel literature committee said Thursday. She also won the 2014 National Book Award for poetry for Faithful and Virtuous Night. In 2016, President Obama awarded the National Humanities Medal to Gluck in a White House ceremony.( 作为耶鲁大学的教授和剑桥大学的居民，Gluck还曾在2003年至2004年担任美国桂冠诗人，对奖项并不陌生。诺贝尔文学委员会星期四说，1993年，她因诗集《野鸢尾》获得普利策奖，其中“她在诗《雪花》中描述了冬天过后令人难以置信的生命回归”。她还因诗歌《忠贞不渝之夜》获得2014年全国图书奖。2016年，奥巴马总统在白宫的一个仪式上授予Gluck国家人文奖章。)”可知，该段主要介绍了Gluck获得的各种奖项。由此可推测，该段是围绕展示Gluck的杰出成就展开的。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In a 2012 interview, she acknowledged that prizes can make “existence in the world easier” but did not amount to the immortality (不朽) of a true artist.( 在2012年的一次采访中，她承认，奖项可以让“生活在这个世界上更容易”，但并不意味着一个真正的艺术家的不朽。)”可知，Gluck认为获奖可以让生存变得更容易一些，但不能让一名真正的艺术家不朽。由此可推测，Gluck并没有很看重自己所获得的荣誉。故选D。 6．(23-24高二上·云南昆明禄劝县·期末)Pamela Malhotra has always attached great importance to education. However, life always seemed to “get in the way” every time she tried to finish her bachelor’s degree. The single mom was so devoted to working to support her two children that she repeatedly put her own education goals on hold, giving up her college program on two separate occasions over the years. When he was just five years old, her son Bonifacio Malhotra noticed her struggling to get her degree, and he made a promise to help her. “I remember I just told my mom… one day, it’s gonna be you and me,” Bonifacio said. “We’re going to gain our degrees at the same time.” Those words proved to be predictable for the mom-and-son duo, who currently walked across the stage at the university to collect their bachelor’s degrees together! “That promise, he never allowed it to die,” said Pamela. “He continuously confirmed that we’re gonna do this.” Their path to graduation wasn’t easy, but Bonifacio stayed true to his promise and helped his mother along the way. The two hold two associate’s degrees each, so in the fall of 2021 they registered together in bachelor-level online courses. They both found the classes challenging, but Bonifacio stepped up as the cheerleader his mother needed. “Mom, you’ve got to keep it going. I know you want to stop. We must keep going,” Bonifacio recalled. “The main thing was just trying to get everything lined up and stay on top of all the work.” It took the Malhotras two years to finish their bachelor’s degrees, hers in humanities and Bonifacio’s in public safety administration. Pamela plans to stay at her job as a coordinator, and Bonifacio has accepted a job at university to help other students succeed in college, too. Pamela said she was incredibly proud of her son’s achievement, and she personally couldn’t have reached her lifelong goal without the support of her family, especially him. “Between my son and my daughter, they were my greatest supporter,” Pamela proudly said. 2．Why Pamela Malhotra couldn’t finish her bachelor’s degree? A．Because she didn’t work hard enough. B．Because she was devoted to working to support her two children. C．Because her husband did not allowed her to further study. D．Because she couldn’t find a proper major. 3．What do we know about the Malhotras? A．They took online courses at the same time. B．Pamela thought the courses were more challenging. C．Bonifacio majored in humanities at university. D．Pamela now works as a university teacher. 4．Which of the following statements can best describe Bonifacio? A．He’s the good man of the house. B．He’s a man of all work. C．He’s a man among men. D．He’s a man of his word. 5．What can be the best title of the passage? A．We Value the Time Being with Families B．Families Help Each Other C．The Home Is Our Heaven D．Each Family Has Its Own Problems 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了单身母亲Pamela为了抚养两个孩子不得不多次搁置自己攻读学位的目标，儿子Bonifacio从小就承诺要帮助母亲实现获得学位的目标，后来两人同时攻读学位，儿子一直鼓励母亲，帮助母亲，最后两人都成功获得学位。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The single mom was so devoted to working to support her two children that she repeatedly put her own education goals on hold, giving up her college program on two separate occasions over the years. (这位单亲妈妈为了抚养两个孩子而全身心地工作，以至于她多次搁置自己的教育目标，在过去的几年里，她曾两次放弃大学课程。)”可知，Pamela Malhotra无法完成学士学位是因为她要全身心地工作来养活两个孩子。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The two hold two associate’s degrees each, so in the fall of 2021 they registered together in bachelor-level online courses. (两人各自拥有两个副学士学位，所以在2021年秋季，他们一起注册了学士学位的在线课程。)”可知，儿子Bonifacio和母亲Pamela同时参加了在线课程。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“That promise, he never allowed it to die (那个承诺，他从未让它消失。)”和“Their path to graduation wasn’t easy, but Bonifacio stayed true to his promise and helped his mother along the way. (他们的毕业之路并不容易，但Bonifacio信守诺言，一路帮助他的母亲。)”可知，Bonifacio信守对母亲的承诺，在攻读学位的过程中一直帮助母亲，最终让母亲的梦想成真。由此可知，他是个守信用的人。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“Pamela said she was incredibly proud of her son’s achievement, and she personally couldn’t have reached her lifelong goal without the support of her family, especially him. (Pamela说，她为儿子的成就感到无比自豪，如果没有家人的支持，尤其是儿子的支持，她不可能实现自己的人生目标。)”可知，文章围绕Malhotras一家相互支持的故事展开，单身母亲Pamela为了抚养两个孩子不得不多次搁置自己攻读学位的目标，儿子Bonifacio从小就承诺要帮助母亲实现获得学位的目标，后来两人同时攻读学位，儿子一直鼓励母亲，帮助母亲，最后两人都成功获得学位。因此，B项“家庭成员互相帮助”符合文章大意，最适合作为标题。故选B项。 7．(23-24高二上·云南昆明第三中学·期末)“With the passing of Chinese scientist Yuan Longping, China and the world have lost one greatest agricultural scientists,” Kenneth Quinn, president of the World Food Prize Foundation, said. Quinn, also vice chairman of the Yuan Longping International Rice Development Forum, shared his memory of the “father of hybrid rice” in an interview with Xinhua on Sunday. Quinn first met Yuan in October 2004, when Yuan traveled to Des Moines in the U.S. state of Iowa to receive the World Food Prize. As they walked out of the airport , Quinn received a call and stepped aside to speak. When he turned back a minute or two later, he lost Yuan. “I had never before ‘lost’ a laureate(贵人),” he said. After a desperate search, he found Professor Yuan surrounded by a group of smiling graduate students from Iowa State University who so admired him that they wanted to take him off for a meal and conversation. Quinn admired Yuan as a teacher. “He always had time to answer questions and speak with young scientists and students. The American high school students we sent to his research center each year always returned filled with knowledge and a deep desire to learn more.” In Quinn’s eyes, Yuan was incredibly humble, never seeking fame, and focused only on hard work and results that could help lift people out of poverty. With a ‘down to earth’ attitude, Yuan greatly reduced hunger and provided farmers with surplus income through his discovery of hybrid rice. Learning of Yuan’s passing away on Saturday, Quinn issued a statement to send his deepest sympathy to Yuan’s family and colleagues in China, as well as his admirers across the world. “Professor Yuan Longping, who was truly beloved in his country and by all of us who knew him, will be greatly missed.

The American high school students we sent to his research center each year always returned filled with knowledge and a deep desire to learn more.”(他总是有时间回答问题，并与年轻的科学家和学生交谈。我们每年送到他的研究中心的美国高中生总是满怀知识和深切的学习欲望回来。)可知，袁隆平很在意年轻人的学习和发展。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据这句话“With a ‘down to earth’ attitude”可知，down to earth是袁隆平的一种态度。根据第四段上文“In Quinn’s eyes, Yuan was incredibly humble, never seeking fame, and focused only on hard work and results that could help lift people out of poverty.”(在奎恩看来，袁隆平非常谦虚，从不追求名利，只专注于努力工作和能帮助人们摆脱贫困的成果。)可知，袁隆平的态度是很务实的，和A选项意思一致。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“With the passing of Chinese scientist Yuan Longping, China and the world have lost one greatest agricultural scientists,”(随着中国科学家袁隆平的去世，中国和世界失去了一位最伟大的农业科学家。)和“shared his memory of the “father of hybrid rice” in an interview with Xinhua on Sunday.”(在周日接受新华社采访时分享了他对“杂交水稻之父”的记忆。)可知，本文是在追忆并纪念袁隆平院士。故选C。 8．(24-25高二上·云南昆明寻甸回族彝族自治县第一中学·期末)For the first time, a donated heart has been flown 12 hours and 6,750 kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean and successfully transplanted (移植) into its recipient. It was transported via a commercial airline to Paris, France, marking the first time a donated heart has flown across the Atlantic. At the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, surgeon Guillaume Lebreton successfully transplanted the heart into a 70-year-old man with a heart condition. Lebreton called the success “an achievement previously unimaginable in organ transplantation”. It was achieved as part of a pilot study known as PEGASE, which aims to establish whether successful transplant is possible after the heart has been preserved for long periods of time — specifically, on journeys from Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. The heart was preserved using a special technique where a heart is kept cold. While there have been clinical trials exploring such a technique, according to the surgeon, this is the first time it’s been tested for such extreme transport times. If the results seen on this occasion are successfully used in the rest of the study, it’s hoped that the technique could have “the potential to redefine the landscape of heart transplantation with unlimited geographical procurement (获取) and lowered time limits”. At present, transplanting hearts is often a race against time — they generally need to be transplanted within four hours of being removed from a donor. Increasing the geographical resources of potential donors could also have an impact on transplant list waiting times. In the US, for example, there are around 3,000 people on the waiting list for a heart on any given day, but only 2,000 hearts are available each year. Depending on qualification criteria, some people may be waiting for years; being able to get hearts from a wider range of places could cut down that time. “We wanted to make this operation reproduceable and keep transport costs bearable,” Lebreton wrote. Unlike conventional donor-heart transport practices involving expensive private planes, we flew in the economy lass in a commercial airliner.” 2．What can we know about PEGASE? A．It focuses on heart transplantation. B．It was launched by Lebreton. C．It ignores treatment for heart disease. D．It has proved unsuccessful. 3．What is the main problem with heart transplantation now? A．The chance of success is very low. B．Transplantation time is limited C．There are no qualified donors. D．The surgeons are inexperienced. 4．Why are the figures mentioned in paragraph 4? A．To emphasize the rome of hearts. B．To prove the qualification of potential donors. C．To say the impact of a transplant. D．To show the need for wider sources of donors. 5．What’s Lebreton’s attitude to using commercial airhners to transport donated hearts? A．Approving. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Indifferent. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了首次通过商业航班跨大西洋运送捐赠心脏并成功移植的医学突破。 1．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“ It was achieved as part of a pilot study known as PEGASE, which aims to establish whether successful transplant is possible after the heart has been preserved for long periods of time — specifically, on journeys from Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.(这是一项名为PEGASE的试点研究的一部分，该研究旨在确定心脏在长期保存后是否有可能成功移植——特别是从加勒比海的马提尼克岛和瓜德罗普岛运送。)”可知，PEGASE项目的重点是心脏移植。故选A。 2．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“At present, transplanting hearts is often a race against time — they generally need to be transplanted within four hours of being removed from a donor.(目前，移植心脏往往是与时间赛跑——通常需要在从捐赠者身上取出心脏后4小时内进行移植。)”可知，目前心脏移植的主要问题是移植时间有限。故选B。 3．推理判断题。由文章第四段中“In the US, for example, there are around 3,000 people on the waiting list for a heart on any given day, but only 2,000 hearts are available each year.(例如，在美国，每天都有大约3000人在等待心脏移植，但每年只有2000个心脏可用。)”可知，提到这些数字是为了说明需要更广泛的捐赠者来源。故选D。 4．推理判断题。由文章最后一段““We wanted to make this operation reproduceable and keep transport costs bearable,” Lebreton wrote. Unlike conventional donor-heart transport practices involving expensive private planes, we flew in the economy lass in a commercial airliner.”(Lebreton写道:“我们想让这个操作可复制，并保持运输成本可承受。”与传统的昂贵的私人飞机运送捐赠心脏的做法不同，我们乘坐的是一架商业客机的经济舱。”)”可知，Lebreton对使用商业航班运输捐赠心脏持赞成态度。故选A。 9．(23-24高二上·云南昆明第八中学·期末)In most places a traffic signal in the middle of the desert, especially one for camels, may well be a mirage, but in this case it is all too real. At the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot in Gansu Province, northwest China, the world’s first traffic light for camels was set up to manage traffic in the popular tourist area. According to a Chinese state-owned wire service, the problem was that the walking paths for human beings often crossed camel paths, creating traffic chaos (混乱). As a solution, workers cut a gap in the walkway and created a separate route for the camels. The traffic light now manages the flow of traffic at the new crossing. Camel-riding tours are a big attraction for visitors to the area. But visitors to the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot will now be safe from camel crashes, thanks to the new traffic signal, which turns green to let the animals cross and red to make them stop. The Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot is already a tourist hot spot thanks to its breathtaking sand dunes (沙丘), an oasis (绿洲) and even the occasional snowstorm which create otherworldly scenery. The strange camel traffic signal could well become another attraction to enjoy on a visit to the scenic area. The area is close to Dunhuang City on the edge of the Gobi Desert, and it used to be an essential resting point for travellers on the Silk Road. Dunhuang’s best-known tourist attraction is the Mogao Caves. The traffic signal is unlikely ever to reach the significance of the Mogao Caves, but at least it might help prevent a few camel traffic jams. 2．What does the underlined word “mirage” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Reality. B．Fantasy. C．Scenery. D．Mistake. 3．Why did the workers create a separate route for the camels? A．To solve the traffic chaos. B．To have camels go through. C．To attract visitors to the area. D．To protect the visitors’ safety. 4．What can we infer about the camel traffic signal from the last 2 paragraphs? A．It has become a tourist hot spot. B．It has prevented camel traffic jams. C．It could improve the tourism of the scenic area. D．It could greatly increase the camels’ population. 5．What is the purpose of this text? A．To criticize the traffic jam. B．To tell us a travel experience. C．To introduce a camel traffic light. D．To analyze a natural phenomenon. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了在中国西北部甘肃省的鸣沙山和新月泉风景区，世界上第一个骆驼红绿灯被设置，以管理这个热门旅游区的交通。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“but in this case it is all too real(但在这种情况下，它太真实了。)”可知，很可能是海市蜃楼。划线单词和“real”意思相反。选项A“Reality (现实)”；选项B“Fantasy (幻想)”；选项C“Scenery (风景)”；选项D“Mistake (错误)”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“According to a Chinese state-owned wire service, the problem was that the walking paths for human beings often crossed camel paths, creating traffic chaos(混乱). As a solution, workers cut a gap in the walkway and created a separate route for the camels. (据中国一家国有通讯社报道，问题是人类的步行路径经常与骆驼的路径交叉，造成交通混乱。为了解决这个问题，工人们在人行道上挖了一个缺口，为骆驼开辟了一条单独的路线。)”可知，人们为骆驼开辟一条单独的路线是为了解决交通混乱这一问题。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The strange camel traffic signal could well become another attraction to enjoy on a visit to the scenic area.(奇怪的骆驼交通信号很可能成为游览景区的另一个景点。)”以及最后一段“The traffic signal is unlikely ever to reach the significance of the Mogao Caves, but at least it might help prevent a few camel traffic jams.(交通信号灯不太可能达到莫高窟的重要性，但至少它可能有助于防止一些骆驼交通堵塞。)”可知，骆驼交通信号可以提高该景区的旅游业。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In most places a traffic signal in the middle of the desert, especially one for camels, may well be a mirage, but in this case it is all too real. At the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot in Gansu Province, northwest China, the world’s first traffic light for camels was set up to manage traffic in the popular tourist area.(在大多数地方，沙漠中央出现交通信号，尤其是骆驼的交通信号，很可能是海市蜃楼，但在这种情况下，它太真实了。在中国西北部甘肃省的鸣沙山和新月泉风景区，世界上第一个骆驼红绿灯被设置，以管理这个热门旅游区的交通。)”以及全文内容可知，文章的主要目的是介绍了世界上第一个骆驼红绿灯。故选C。 10．(23-24高二上·云南保山、文山州·期末)“What kind of rubbish are you?” This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has brought about weary groans over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (服 从) and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish. Violators face the prospect of fines and worse. They could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets. Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London’s annual output and rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift through the waste, plucking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China churns out 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks a year. Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous (有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most annoying are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad. 2．Which definition fits the underlined word “Violators” in Paragraph 2 most? A．People who don’t sort the waste. B．People who don’t inquire about the nature of rubbish. C．People who don’t follow the regulations. D．People who don’t throw the trash on time. 3．What are the residents dissatisfied with most? A．Short scheduled time for throwing away the trash. B．Complicated distinctions among the four categories of trash. C．Being observed by monitors when tossing the garbage. D．Being fined for improper behaviors. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards the trash-sorting regulations according to the text? A．Doubtful B．Neutral. C．Indifferent. D．Sympathetic. 5．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．A Restart of Trash-sorting B．What Kind of Rubbish Are You C．A New Time of Garbage Classification D．A Recycling System Is Needed in Shanghai 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是7月1日，上海市出台了严格的垃圾分类规定，有望成为我国的榜样。 1．词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“face the prospect of fines and worse(面对罚款甚至更糟的后果)”可知，这些人将面临罚款甚至更严重的后果。再根据第一段中的“Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (服 从) and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish.(居民必须将他们的垃圾分成四类，并将其扔进特定的公共垃圾箱。他们必须在规定的时间内这样做，届时会有监督员在场，以确保他们遵守规定，并询问垃圾的性质。)”可知，居民必须将垃圾分成四类，把它们扔进特定的公共垃圾箱里。结合选项可推断，画线词是指违反管理条例的人，即People who don’t follow the regulations。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Most annoying are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening.(最令人讨厌的是倾倒垃圾的短窗口，通常是早上和晚上的几个小时。)”可知，最让居民烦恼的是短暂的垃圾投放时间，通常只有早上和晚上的几个小时，这就是居民最不满意的地方。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous (有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most annoying are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening.(许多居民似乎总体上支持回收利用的想法，但对细节感到沮丧。垃圾必须按照食物、可回收、干垃圾和有害垃圾进行分类，它们之间的区别可能令人困惑，不过有一些应用程序可以帮助区分。一些人抱怨有关食物浪费的规定。他们必须把垃圾直接扔进规定的公共垃圾箱，迫使他们撕开塑料袋，用手扔。最令人讨厌的是倾倒垃圾的短窗口，通常是早上和晚上的几个小时。)”可知，作者客观描述居民对垃圾分类的规定的态度，因此作者的态度是中立的，故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (服 从) and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish.(7月1日，该市出台了严格的垃圾分类规定，有望成为我国的榜样。居民必须将他们的垃圾分成四类，并将其扔进特定的公共垃圾箱。他们必须在规定的时间内这样做，届时会有监督员在场，以确保他们遵守规定，并询问垃圾的性质。)”可知，本文主要讲的是7月1日，上海市出台了严格的垃圾分类规定，有望成为我国的榜样，因此最好的题目是C选项“A New Time of Garbage Classification(垃圾分类的新时代)”。故选C。 主题02 人与自我 ——个人成长、梦想追求、自我突破、毅力与奋斗 1．(24-25高二上·云南西双版纳傣族第一中学等四校·期末)Nuclear expert Peng Shilu once said that he only did two things in his entire life: one was to build nuclear submarines (核潜艇), and the other to build nuclear power plants. Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations. Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (化工机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power. In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction. During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China. Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions. 2．According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE about Peng Shilu? A．He only focused on building nuclear submarines. B．He considered himself unimportant in China’s nuclear power development. C．He was the single founder of China’s nuclear power industry. D．He didn’t hold any leading positions in early nuclear power projects. 3．Peng Shilu willingly transferred to the atomic energy major in 1956 mainly because ____________. A．he wanted to get more opportunities to study abroad B．he was attracted by the high-salary prospects in the field. C．he had a strong sense of national responsibility D．he thought it was an easy major to study 4．From the passage, we can infer that Peng Shilu was a person who was ____________. A．shy and careful B．selfless and devoted C．eager and confident D．curious and modest 5．Which of the following is the proper title for the passage? A．China Honors a Nuclear Power Expert B．Peng Shilu Built Nuclear Submarines C．Peng Shilu’s Exploration of Chemical Machinery D．A Nuclear Hero Devoted Himself to His Country 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 【难度】0.85 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了核专家彭士禄一生致力于中国核电事业的贡献。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. (尽管彭士禄是中国核电产业的奠基者之一，但他称自己在这项事业中只起到了微不足道的作用)”可知，尽管彭士禄是中国核电事业的创始人之一，但他认为自己只起了很小的作用。故选B。 2．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power. (当时，中央政府决定挑选一批优秀的留学生转修原子能专业。彭士禄欣然应允，这也开启了他投身中国核电事业发展的一生)”可推知，他自愿转学到核能专业主要是因为他有强烈的民族责任感。故选C。 3．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power. (当时，中央政府决定挑选一批优秀的留学生转修原子能专业。彭士禄欣然应允，这也开启了他投身中国核电事业发展的一生)”和第三段中“Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction. (彭士禄被任命为总设计师，他再次全身心投入到核电站的筹备与建设工作中)”可知，他欣然同意转学核能专业，这标志着他毕生致力于发展中国核电事业的开始。他被任命为总指挥，再次全身心投入到核电站的筹备和建设中。由此推知，彭士禄是一个无私和奉献的人。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations. (事实上，从第一代核潜艇到大亚湾和秦山核电站的建设，他在中国早期的大部分核电项目中都担任领导职务)”和最后一段中“The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions. (中共中央宣传部授予他“时代楷模”称号，以表彰他的贡献)”可知，文章讲述了中国著名的核动力专家彭士禄的事迹，尤其体现了彭士禄为祖国发展所做的贡献。由此可知，“A Nuclear Hero Devoted Himself to His Country (一位核英雄致力于帮助他的国家)”最契合彭士禄的人物事迹和贡献，适合作为文章标题。故选D。 2．(24-25高二上·云南昭通昭通第一中学教研联盟·期末)Not long ago, video clips of Zhang Jianna directing foreigners have gone viral online. Her fluent English and confident behavior have deeply impressed the viewers. The 49-year-old Zhang is a migrant worker from a rural village in Hebei province. With only a high school diploma, she had previously worked as a restaurant server. In 2012, she took on the role of a sanitation worker in the embassy area of Sanlitun in Beijing’s Chaoyang district. One morning, a foreigner approached her, gently tapped her shoulder, and spoke a long string of unfamiliar words to her. Standing there, her mind going bewildered and blank, Zhang didn’t know how to react. The special experience profoundly moved Zhang, making up her mind to learn English. “My goal is quite simple. I just want to help whenever someone is in need, whether it’s asking for directions, inquiring about visa procedures, or telling them about the embassy area I am responsible for,” said Zhang. At the age of 40, without a tutor, she began learning English from her children’s textbooks, starting with basic words and phrases commonly used for giving directions. With no fixed study hours, she utilized every spare moment. While others rested, she memorized vocabulary and practiced speaking. Upon arriving home after work, she would note down new knowledge points and review them until thoroughly understood. Over the years, she filled over a dozen notebooks with her notes. “Learning English at an older age, I would easily forget the words I learned the previous day, which is the biggest challenge,” Zhang said. However, she persisted, reviewing words at night and then repeating them one more time the next day morning. To date, she has accumulated a vocabulary of around 3,000 English words, enabling her to converse fluently with foreigners. “Growing up in a rural area without a college education, I sometimes feared being looked down upon. But every time I help a stranger in English, I feel incredibly accomplished,” said she. 2．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Zhang got a university diploma. B．Zhang gets a position as a sanitation worker. C．Zhang used to communicate with the foreigners. D．Zhang wants to be an English tutor for her children. 3．What’s the main factor that motivated Zhang to learn English? A．The curiosity for a language. B．A desire to promote her income. C．A skill required by her leader. D．A special encounter with a foreigner. 4．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “utilize” in Paragraph 5? A．Made use of. B．Set aside. C．Figured out. D．Abused. 5．Which of the following can best describe Zhang? A．Hard-working and creative. B．Forgetful and brave. C．Persevering and determined.

In 2012, she took on the role of a sanitation worker in the embassy area of Sanlitun in Beijing’s Chaoyang district.(49 岁的张健娜是一名来自河北省农村的务工人员。她仅有高中学历，此前曾做过餐厅服务员。2012 年，她成为了北京市朝阳区三里屯使馆区的一名环卫工人)” 可知，张健娜得到了一份环卫工人的工作。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“One morning, a foreigner approached her, gently tapped her shoulder, and spoke a long string of unfamiliar words to her. Standing there, her mind going bewildered and blank, Zhang didn’t know how to react. The special experience profoundly moved Zhang, making up her mind to learn English.(一天早上，一名外国人走到她跟前，轻轻拍了拍她的肩膀，然后对她说了一连串她听不懂的话。张健娜站在那里，脑海里一片迷茫和空白，不知道该如何回应。这次特殊的经历深深触动了张健娜，让她下定决心要学习英语)”可知，是与外国人的一次特殊相遇促使她决定学习英语，故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据第五段中“With no fixed study hours, she utilized every spare moment. While others rested, she memorized vocabulary and practiced speaking.(由于没有固定的学习时间，她utilized每一刻空闲时间。当别人休息的时候，她就背诵单词并练习口语)” 可推知，她是利用每一个空闲时间学习，“utilized”意思是“利用”，与“Made use of”意思相近。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段中“With no fixed study hours, she utilized every spare moment. While others rested, she memorized vocabulary and practiced speaking. Upon arriving home after work, she would note down new knowledge points and review them until thoroughly understood.(由于没有固定的学习时间，她利用了每一刻空闲时间。当其他人休息的时候，她就背诵单词并练习口语。下班后一回到家，她就会记下新的知识点，然后反复复习，直到完全理解为止。这些年来，她记满了十几本笔记)”以及第六段““Learning English at an older age, I would easily forget the words I learned the previous day, which is the biggest challenge,” Zhang said. However, she persisted, reviewing words at night and then repeating them one more time the next day morning.(张健娜说：“年纪大了再学英语，我很容易就会忘记前一天学过的单词，这是最大的挑战。” 然而，她坚持了下来，晚上复习单词，然后在第二天早上再复习一遍)”可知，张健娜利用一切空闲时间学习英语，克服年纪大易忘单词的困难，坚持不懈地学习，所以她是一个有毅力、有决心的人，故选C。 3．(22-23高三·云南昆明第一中学·)A few people are born resilient (自强不息).

I had three open days and a desire to save some turtles. And so, away I went to Huatulco with Wildcoast, a group of champions-for-change who were protecting coastal and marine ecosystem in the U.S. and Mexico. I was taken to La Escobilla to experience Wildcoast in action. This protected beach, one hour north of Huatulco, is where mass turtle nesting happens, lasting just four days during rainy season, hundreds of thousands of female sea turtles swinging their way ashore to lay their eggs. Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities. Luckily, Wildcoast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats by monitoring temperatures and humidity. Thanks to their efforts, the sea turtles have made a major comeback, with now over 72 million turtles being born on the beaches that Wildcoast protects. I got to hold 50 of the tiny creatures in a bowl. Despite an average laying of 100 eggs, just one in 1,000 baby turtles will make it to adulthood. It was time to liberate (解放) those little creatures. Out spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others barely moved in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to spread out across the beach. With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1,000.” Nature was cruel. After 30 long minutes, the last creature made his way to the sea. 1．What do we know about the Wildcoast? A．It is a fishing village. B．It is a national natural reserve. C．It is located in Huatulco. D．It aims to preserve marine ecosystem. 2．The baby turtles are threatened by various factors except ________. A．the cruel hunters B．the rapid development C．the extreme weather D．the oil-polluted ocean 3．What do the underlined words “full steam ahead” in paragraph 4 mean? A．With slow pace and fear. B．With all energy and enthusiasm. C．With full warning and curiosity. D．With great satisfaction and responsibility. 4．What can we learn from the author’s experience in saving baby turtles? A．Think twice before you leap. B．Stop struggling and you stop living. C．Always prepare for a rainy day. D．When the buying stops, the killing can too. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者随Wildcoast组织前往墨西哥的瓦图尔科，在受保护的海滩见证海龟大规模筑巢，并在放归小海龟时目睹其为生存奋力抗争自然的残酷。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“And so, away I went to Huatulco with Wildcoast, a group of champions-for-change who were protecting coastal and marine ecosystem in the U.S. and Mexico. (于是，我和Wildcoast一同前往瓦图尔科，这是一群致力于推动改变的倡导者，他们在美国和墨西哥致力于保护沿海和海洋生态系统)”可知，Wildcoast是一个致力于保护海洋生态系统的组织。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities. (在狗、螃蟹、开发建设以及石油泄漏等威胁面前，这些小生物面临着来自整个世界的挑战。就在2002年，猎捕海龟不仅是常见的行为，更是瓦哈卡地区社群文化和饮食的重要组成部分)”可知，小海龟面临的威胁包括残忍的捕猎者、快速的开发建设、被石油污染的海洋，文中未提及极端天气对它们的威胁。故选C项。 3．词句猜测题。while“而”表示对比关系，结合画线部分的后文“others barely moved in place (其他的则几乎原地不动)”可推知，与之形成对比的应该是“一些小海龟充满活力和热情地向前移动”，画线部分意思应该是“充满活力和热情地”。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1,000.” Nature was cruel. After 30 long minutes, the last creature made his way to the sea. (随着一波又一波海浪涌来，我们目睹了适者生存的场景：一些小海龟奋力越过白色的浪花，而另一些则被冲回了岸边。它们为生存而进行的抗争让我眼眶湿润。一群鸟儿正准备俯冲入海，去捕食这些移动的目标。“千分之一的存活率。”大自然是残酷的。漫长的30分钟后，最后一只小海龟终于爬进了大海)”可知，作者看到一些小海龟们奋力向大海爬去，在海浪和鸟类的威胁下努力生存，这是它们为生存而不断拼命的过程。因此，B项“停止奋斗，你就停止了生存”最契合这一经历。A. 三思而后行； C. 未雨绸缪；D. 没有买卖就没有杀害。故选B项。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
