Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·山东济宁一中月考)Growing up on a farm，Tori James spent most of her early years outdoors，building shelters and playing in muddy streams.She describes herself as an ambitious，adventurous child who was fascinated by the survival guidelines on her bedside table.Even so，James says she was unaware at that time that，one day，she might be the youngest British woman to reach the summit of Mount Qomolangma. Today，James is a professional adventurer.Yet ahead of her first expedition at the age of 18，she spent a long time mapping the cracks of Iceland's Vatnajökull Glacier with the British Exploring Society.James recalls doubting her ability to last a month out in the cold without the comfort of a hot bath.“It's by stepping out of our comfort zone that we understand our true potential，”she explains.“That's when the magic happens.” Although James has spent a significant part of her life exploring some of the most remote landscapes in the world，when it comes to traveling，she believes that there are numerous ways for everyone to push back their boundaries，other than by undertaking physical challenges.James also encourages would-be adventurers not to be put off by the stereotypical(成见的) image of the rugged，hardy explorer.“I am such a believer that，with the right support and skills，everyone can bring something to an expedition，” she says. Sometimes，she adds，it's only out in the field that someone's hidden talents emerge.A diverse team can be the key to a successful trip，particularly given the role of exploration in today's world.“Historically，exploration has been about people finding nature's hardest obstacles and trying to either overcome them，or beat them，” says James.“But now，for me at least，exploration is about connecting with nature，not conquering it.It's about our connection to the living world around us，it's about sharing its importance once we've returned and it's about figuring out how to go on an adventure sustainably.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Tori James从小喜欢探险，长大后成为专业的探险家，形成了自己对探险旅行的独特见解。 1．What do we know about James? A．She was once questioned about her ability. B．She enjoys reading thrilling adventure survival stories. C．She was a child with big dreams and a desire for exploration. D．She might be the youngest woman to conquer Mount Qomolangma. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She describes herself as an ambitious，adventurous child who was fascinated by the survival guidelines on her bedside table.(她形容自己是一个被床头柜上的生存指南迷住了的雄心勃勃、富有冒险精神的孩子。)”可知，她曾经是个怀揣远大梦想且热衷于探索的孩子。故选C。 答案　C 2．What would James probably agree with according to Paragraph 3? A．Few ways are there for us to push back our boundaries. B．Future explorers are supposed to take risks bravely. C．Exploring remote landscapes in the world is of significance. D．Support and skills are sure to bring out the best in explorers. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“James also encourages would-be adventurers not to be put off by the stereotypical image of the rugged，hardy explorer.”可知，James还鼓励那些有志于探险的人不要对传统观念中那种粗犷顽强的探险家形象反感。由此可推知，James认为未来的探险家应该勇敢地冒险。故选B。 答案　B 3．What might be the value of exploration nowadays? A．To make the most of people's hidden talent. B．To overcome the possible hardest obstacles. C．To figure out how to have a successful adventure. D．To engage in sustainable interactions with nature. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But now，for me at least，exploration is about connecting... how to go on an adventure sustainably.”可推知，与自然进行可持续的互动可能是当今探索的价值所在。故选D。 答案　D 4．What might be the best title for this text? A．Born to Be Adventurers B．Connecting with the Living World C．James's Amazing Expeditions D．Adventurer James's Travel Insight 解析　主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了James对探险旅行的独特见解。故D项“探险家James的旅行见解”为最佳文章标题。 答案　D B While temperatures continue to climb，visitors are still coming to visit Death Valley National Park on the border between California and Nevada.The park is known as the hottest place on Earth.This past weekend，the temperatures climbed to 53.33℃.Most visitors at this time of year make it only a short distance to any area in the park before returning to the cool air in their vehicles. Early information from the park service shows that across the nation's 424 national parks，at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes.That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month. Death Valley National Park suggests visitors be careful and not have expectations of rescue.While park rangers(护林员) drive on park roads and can aid tourists in need，it is unsure that lost visitors will get help in time. Physical activity can make the heat feel even worse and leave people exhausted.Alessia Dempster，who was visiting from Edinburgh，Scotland，said，“It's very hot especially when there's a gentle wind.You would think that maybe that would give you some slight relief from the heat，but it just really does feel like an air blow dryer just going back in your face.” Death Valley is a narrow area that is below sea level and surrounded by high mountains，the park service's website says.The dry air and small plant coverage let sunlight heat up the park surface.The heat then becomes trapped in the valley. Still，several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists.Badwater Basin，made up of salt flats，is considered the lowest point in all of North America.Ubehebe Crater dates back over 2，000 years.And Zabriskie Point is a great sunrise viewing spot. Josh Miller，a visitor from Indianapolis who has been to 20 national parks so far，shared that feeling.“It's hot，but the scenery is awesome，” he said. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国死亡谷，这里的气温非常高，但还是吸引了很多人前来参观。 5．What do most visitors do in Death Valley? A．Cool themselves in time. B．Do lots of physical exercises. C．Stay away from park rangers. D．Carry dryers with them. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Most visitors...before returning to the cool air in their vehicles.”可知，在死亡谷国家公园游玩时，大部分游客都会及时给自己降温。故选A。 答案　A 6．Why does the author mention the 65-year-old man in paragraph 2? A．To encourage the elderly to travel more. B．To express admiration for mountain climbers. C．To advise people to tour Death Valley more often. D．To show the danger of traveling in Death Valley. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中“...across the nation's 424 national parks，at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes.That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month.”可推知，作者提及这位65岁的老人是为了说明在死亡谷国家公园游玩的危险之处，故选D。 答案　D 7．What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Death Valley? A．Its covering area. B．Its attractive spots. C．The reason why it is so hot. D．The service of its park's website. 解析　主旨大意题。第五段提到死亡谷是一个低于海平面的狭窄地区，周围环绕着高山，干燥的空气和小的植物覆盖面让阳光加热了公园的表面，然后热量被困在山谷里。由此可知，本段介绍了死亡谷如此炎热的原因。故选C。 答案　C 8．What can be inferred about Death Valley from the last two paragraphs? A．It has a short history. B．It is worth visiting. C．It draws fewer and fewer tourists. D．It is unsuitable for viewing sunrise. 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Still，several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists.”及后面提到的几个景点Badwater Basin、Ubehebe Crater、Zabriskie Point以及最后一段中“It's hot，but the scenery is awesome”可推断，死亡谷是一个值得游玩的地方。故选B。 答案　B Ⅱ.完形填空 Hunter Leininger，from Georgia，USA has been doing adventure racing (探险速度赛) since he was seven years old.Now，at age 19，he has set world records，travelled around the globe，and 1 over 50 races!
