He took off at an altitude (海拔高度) of 8,000 meters and landed at an altitude of 5,400 meters. The flight took about 20 minutes. Li became the first Chinese that has completed a paragliding flight at such an altitude. Li Shengtao started out as a climber before becoming interested in paragliding. Li said he first had the idea of paragliding on Mount Qomolangma when he began to learn to paraglide in Henan in 2016. Li discovered that he was a quick learner and was able to master the skills in half a day. “When I took flight, I felt completely free, and at that time, the desire (愿望) for paragliding on Mount Qomolangma began to take root (生根) in my heart,” he said. In 2018, after plenty of practice, Li set up Tibet’s first paragliding center to give more paragliders the opportunity (机会) to experience the pleasure of the sport at a high altitude. At the same time, he continued to climb and then paraglide from a number of mountains in Qinghai, and Yunnan. Paragliding from the top of a mountain is not easy. Anyone trying to do so must be able to climb and carry heavy bags. And it is very dangerous to climb a mountain under the changeable weather at high altitudes. So Li and his team train hard and prepare carefully before every flight to reduce the risk as much as possible. “I have never felt scared before going paragliding. I don’t be afraid to do whatever I have decided,” Li said. “Mount Qomolangma is not my final goal. I hope to make paragliding flights from other mountains in the future.” 43. Which words can best describe paragliding from the top of a mountain? A. Relaxing and comfortable. B. Easy and very funny. C. Dangerous and challenging. D. Convenient and exciting. 44. Put the following events about Li Shengtao in right order. a. He started to learn to paraglide in Henan. b. He successfully completed a paragliding flight on Mount Qomolangma. c. He set up Tibet’s first paragliding center. A. abc. B. acb. C. bca. D. cab. 45. What does the underlined word “reduce” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Look up. B. Get used to. C. Take pride in. D. Cut down on. 46. How does Li feel about his future paragliding flight? A. He feels hopeful about it. B. He feels bored with it. C. He feels it is impossible. D. He feels worried about it. 47. What can we learn from the passage? A. Better late than never. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. All rivers run into sea. 【答案】43. C 44. B 45. D 46. A 47. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了中国滑翔伞运动员李生涛在珠穆朗玛峰完成高海拔滑翔飞行的经历，以及他对这项运动的热爱和未来目标。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Paragliding from the top of a mountain is not easy... And it is very dangerous to climb a mountain under the changeable weather at high altitudes.”可知，从山顶滑翔伞既困难又危险，充满挑战。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Li said he first had the idea of paragliding on Mount Qomolangma when he began to learn to paraglide in Henan in 2016.” (事件a) 和第3段“In 2018, after plenty of practice, Li set up Tibet’s first paragliding center” (事件c)，以及第1段“He successfully completed a paragliding flight on Mount Qomolangma on May 18, 2023” (事件b) 可知，正确顺序为a→c→b。故选B。 【45题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第4段“Li and his team train hard and prepare carefully before every flight to reduce the risk as much as possible.”可知，“reduce”指通过训练和准备“减少”风险，与“cut down on (削减)”同义。故选D。 【46题详解】 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段“Mount Qomolangma is not my final goal. I hope to make paragliding flights from other mountains in the future.”可知，李生涛对未来滑翔飞行充满希望。故选A。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。全文通过李生涛的事例说明，只要有决心和毅力 (如他坚持训练、克服高海拔危险)，就能实现目标 (完成珠峰滑翔)。C选项“有志者事竟成”符合，故选C。 D What do you usually do to relax after a busy week’s work? Do you want to go swimming or play computer games? Learning something about calligraphy (书法) may be a fantastic idea. Nowadays, a growing number of people are taking up calligraphy—a traditional art form with a long history. Ma Huiyan works in Shanghai. She began her interest in calligraphy in 2020 as a way to kill time. “I am not a calligrapher, so I don’t care much about the skills. I spend one or two hours writing Chinese calligraphy after work every day. It brings me great joy,” said Ma. “Every time I finish a piece of work, I have a strong sense of achievement.” Guo Ziyuan, a teacher, started teaching calligraphy 10 years ago. One-third of his students are adults, and the rest are children and teenagers. They hope to learn more about Chinese culture through calligraphy. What’s more, many parents choose to learn it together with their children to improve themselves in handwriting. Fang Jiangxun is a university teacher and he has been teaching calligraphy course for about six years. Some of his students posted his course videos online and they are popular among millions of people in China. “We can learn calligraphy at any age. Writing calligraphy can make us feel good by using both our hands and brains.” People get used to typing on keyboards, but the ancient Chinese art is still very important. It’s a way to slow down in modern life. More and more people have started to practise calligraphy. Why not join them? 48. How does the writer start the topic of the passage? A. By asking some questions. B. By comparing some products. C. By making some choices. D. By listing some numbers. 49. What does Ma Huiyan think of writing Chinese calligraphy? A. Boring. B. Meaningless. C. Tiring. D. Enjoyable. 50. When did Fang Jiangxun start teaching calligraphy course in a university? A. In about 2018. B. In about 2020. C. In about 2014. D. In about 2024. 51. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To ask more people to practise calligraphy. B. To show people how to write calligraphy well. C. To tell more people to type on keyboards. D. To explain why people should relax after work. 52. What’s the best structure of this passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①②③/④/⑤ 【答案】48. A 49. D 50. A 51. A 52. C 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述了在忙碌的工作后，越来越多的人开始练习书法这一传统艺术形式，并通过MaHuiyan、Guo Ziyuan和Fang Jianxun的例子说明了人们练习书法的原因和书法的受欢迎程度，最后呼吁更多人加入练习书法的行列。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What do you usually do to relax after a busy week’s work? Do you want to go swimming or play computer games?”可知，作者通过提出问题来引出话题。故选A。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘I am not a calligrapher, so I don’t care much about the skills.

It brings me great joy,’ said Ma. ‘Every time I finish a piece of work, I have a strong sense of achievement.’”以及选项可知，她认为书法给她带来了极大的快乐，每次都有强烈的成就感。故选D。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Fang Jiangxun is a university teacher and he has been teaching calligraphy course for about six years.”可知，他在大学教授书法课程大约六年了。故选A。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据“More and more people have started to practise calligraphy.

He took off at an altitude (海拔高度) of 8,000 meters and landed at an altitude of 5,400 meters. The flight took about 20 minutes. Li became the first Chinese that has completed a paragliding flight at such an altitude. Li Shengtao started out as a climber before becoming interested in paragliding. Li said he first had the idea of paragliding on Mount Qomolangma when he began to learn to paraglide in Henan in 2016. Li discovered that he was a quick learner and was able to master the skills in half a day. “When I took flight, I felt completely free, and at that time, the desire (愿望) for paragliding on Mount Qomolangma began to take root (生根) in my heart,” he said. In 2018, after plenty of practice, Li set up Tibet’s first paragliding center to give more paragliders the opportunity (机会) to experience the pleasure of the sport at a high altitude. At the same time, he continued to climb and then paraglide from a number of mountains in Qinghai, and Yunnan. Paragliding from the top of a mountain is not easy. Anyone trying to do so must be able to climb and carry heavy bags. And it is very dangerous to climb a mountain under the changeable weather at high altitudes. So Li and his team train hard and prepare carefully before every flight to reduce the risk as much as possible. “I have never felt scared before going paragliding. I don’t be afraid to do whatever I have decided,” Li said. “Mount Qomolangma is not my final goal. I hope to make paragliding flights from other mountains in the future.” 43. Which words can best describe paragliding from the top of a mountain? A. Relaxing and comfortable. B. Easy and very funny. C. Dangerous and challenging. D. Convenient and exciting. 44. Put the following events about Li Shengtao in right order. a. He started to learn to paraglide in Henan. b. He successfully completed a paragliding flight on Mount Qomolangma. c. He set up Tibet’s first paragliding center. A. abc. B. acb. C. bca. D. cab. 45. What does the underlined word “reduce” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Look up. B. Get used to. C. Take pride in. D. Cut down on. 46. How does Li feel about his future paragliding flight? A. He feels hopeful about it. B. He feels bored with it. C. He feels it is impossible. D. He feels worried about it. 47. What can we learn from the passage? A. Better late than never. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. All rivers run into sea. D What do you usually do to relax after a busy week’s work? Do you want to go swimming or play computer games? Learning something about calligraphy (书法) may be a fantastic idea. Nowadays, a growing number of people are taking up calligraphy—a traditional art form with a long history. Ma Huiyan works in Shanghai. She began her interest in calligraphy in 2020 as a way to kill time. “I am not a calligrapher, so I don’t care much about the skills.
