2. have an influence on / have an impact on
解析:两个短语可互换,influence 和 impact 均为名词,后接介词 on 表示作用的对象,日常使用中 have an influence on 更口语化。
3. current affairs news
解析:current affairs 是固定搭配,意为“时事;当前发生的事件”,后接 news 明确指相关新闻内容。

解析:二者为同义短语,depend on 侧重“依靠他人或事物获得支持”,rely on 语气更强,强调“信任并依赖”。

解析:同义短语,keep in touch with 更口语化,stay in contact with 更正式,后均接介词 with 加联系的对象。

解析:cater to 和 cater for 均可表示“迎合;满足需求”,cater to 多用于美式英语,cater for 多用于英式英语。
10. expose the truth / reveal the truth

3. circulation
◦ 解析:形容词 large 后接名词,circulation 为不可数名词,意为“发行量”,符合“报纸在全国发行量高”的语境。

解析:时间状语 in the past decade(在过去十年间)是现在完成时的标志,主语 social media 为单数概念,故用 has become。
3. was exposed
解析:这是 it is...that... 强调句型,被强调部分是主语 the truth,主语和 expose 之间是被动关系,且动作已发生,故用一般过去时的被动语态 was exposed。
4. shaping
解析:固定搭配 play a role in doing sth.(在做某事方面起作用),in 为介词,后接动名词 shaping。
5. critically
解析:此处需用副词修饰动词 treat,critical 的副词形式是 critically,意为“批判性地”。

9. Compared
解析:固定结构 compared with(与……相比),在句中作状语,需用过去分词形式,注意首字母大写。
10. (should) operate

六、阅读理解
(上海复旦大学附属中学2023-2024学年高一下学期期中考试)Trees are magicians with carbon, pulling it out of the air at remarkable rates to store it in their bodies. They are so good at removing this greenhouse gas that “planting trees” is often synonymous with doing environmental good.
And lots of people are planting trees. The number of tree-planting organizations has grown by almost 300 percent in the past 30 years, according to a 2021 paper in the journal Biological Conservation. But while tree planting can capture a great amount of carbon, it is hardly a silver bullet for the climate crisis — express estimate that even if we maximized our available lands for trees, this alone would not be enough to counteract carbon emissions caused by humans. Plus, many plantations grow the same few species in monocultures, which can hurt local biodiversity.
The minority of tree plantations are set up with carbon capture solely, or even primarily in mind, says Jacob Bukoski, a forestry scientist at Oregon State University. Most trees are planted with the goal of harvesting timber or wood pulp (木浆) for paper. Tree-planting organizations are more likely to create plantations for commercial reasons, the authors of the 2021 paper also note, rather than for biodiversity or carbon capture.
In forestry, there’s a saying that you have to plant “the right tree in the right place, for the right reason.” But when many tree plantations are established for commercial purposes, the tree that is planted is often not the “right” tree, says Jesús Aguirre-Gutiérrez, an ecologist at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford.
In a paper published recently in the journal Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Aguirre-Gutiérrez and colleagues argue that focusing on the goal of carbon removal by natural process causes organizations to ignore the importance of restoring balanced ecosystems. The result is a collection of trees that do not support local organisms or promote biodiversity in the way native plant species would have. These problems deserve particular notice in tropical areas where land is vast, and conditions such as stable temperatures and high humidity promote tree growth, as ignoring them while planting trees is damaging. When plantations increased the woody cover of the Brazilian savannah by 40 percent, this “resulted in an about 30 percent reduction in the diversity of plants and ants,” Aguirre-Gutiérrez and his co-authors write in the new paper.
Aguirre-Gutiérrez doesn’t want to discourage people from growing more trees, he says. Rather, we need a better way to protect the natural ecosystems and species there, like encouraging the restoration of native forest tree species. Local plants will be “better adapted to the conditions” in these environments, he says, which means they, and nearby species, are more likely to thrive. “If we go in that direction, that will bring us the added value of capturing carbon, but also this sustainability.”
1.Experts are concerned about tree plantation to reduce greenhouse partly because ______.
A.the number of tree-planting organizations is growing too fast.
B.the speed of tree planting falls far behind that of carbon emission.
C.the selection of species in tree planting can harm local biodiversity.
D.the land available to plant trees is not fully explored and developed.
2.In paragraph 4, “the right reason” refers to ______.
A.mass plantation of carbon-absorbing trees
B.biodiversity preservation with local species
C.harvest of timber or wood pulp for paper
D.tree plantation for commercial purposes
3.Why does the author mention “Brazilian savannah” in paragraph 5?
A.To show the benefits of planting trees in tropical areas
B.To illustrate the vastness and eco-diversity of tropical areas
C.To highlight the negative impact of planting trees in tropical areas
D.To discourage people from randomly planting trees in tropical areas
4.Which of the following statements will Aguirre-Gutiérrez most likely approve of?
A.People and organizations should plant as many trees as they can to capture carbon.
B.Plants in tropical areas can thrive better due to its vast land and agreeable climate.
C.Preserving biodiversity plays a more sustainable role than capturing carbon only.
D.Tree plantation organizations are irresponsible and focus only on making profits.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 4.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。专家们对植树造林减少温室效应表示担忧,因为即使我们最大限度地利用我们的可用土地种植树木,单凭这一点也不足以抵消人类造成的碳排放。此外,许多种植园在单一栽培中种植相同的几种物种,这可能会损害当地的生物多样性。文章对此进行了介绍。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Plus, many plantations grow the same few species in monocultures, which can hurt local biodiversity.(此外,许多种植园在单一栽培中种植相同的几种物种,这可能会损害当地的生物多样性。)”可知,专家们对植树造林减少温室效应表示担忧的部分原因是植树造林的物种选择会损害当地的生物多样性。故选C。
2.词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“Tree-planting organizations are more likely to create plantations for commercial reasons, the authors of the 2021 paper also note, rather than for biodiversity or carbon capture.(2021年那篇论文的作者还指出,植树组织更有可能出于商业原因建立种植园,而不是为了生物多样性或碳捕获。)”可知,the right reason是指“保护本地物种的生物多样性”。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段前三句“In a paper published recently in the journal Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Aguirre-Gutiérrez and colleagues argue that focusing on the goal of carbon removal by natural process causes organizations to ignore the importance of restoring balanced ecosystems. The result is a collection of trees that do not support local organisms or promote biodiversity in the way native plant species would have. These problems deserve particular notice in tropical areas where land is vast, and conditions such as stable temperatures and high humidity promote tree growth, as ignoring them while planting trees is damaging.(在最近发表在《生态与进化趋势》杂志上的一篇论文中,Aguirre-Gutiérrez和他的同事认为,专注于通过自然过程去除碳的目标会导致组织忽视恢复平衡生态系统的重要性。其结果是,这些树木既不能支持当地生物,也不能像本地植物那样促进生物多样性。在热带地区,这些问题值得特别注意,因为那里土地辽阔,温度稳定、湿度高的条件促进了树木的生长,而在植树时忽视这些问题是有害的。)”可知,作者在第5段提到巴西大草原是为了劝阻人们不要在热带地区随意植树。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“In a paper published recently in the journal Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Aguirre-Gutiérrez and colleagues argue that focusing on the goal of carbon removal by natural process causes organizations to ignore the importance of restoring balanced ecosystems.(在最近发表在《生态与进化趋势》杂志上的一篇论文中,Aguirre-Gutiérrez和他的同事认为,专注于通过自然过程去除碳的目标会导致组织忽视恢复平衡生态系统的重要性。)”可知,Aguirre-Gutiérrez最有可能认同“保护生物多样性比仅仅捕获碳具有更可持续的作用”的观点。故选C。
七、六选四
(22-23高一下·上海奉贤·期末)Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. 1 Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
2 If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. 3
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. 4 The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
A.If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
B.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously hold poor role models.
C.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.
D.I was very proud of myself.
E.But soon I grew bored.
F.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve.
【答案】1.E 2.B 3.A 4.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了盲目模仿的危害以及如何树立榜样。
1.根据上文“When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes.(当我第一次学习烹饪时,我用食谱做出一些美味的菜肴)”以及后文“Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own?(当我可以创造自己的烹饪方式时,为什么要遵循别人的烹饪方式呢?)”可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出作者不想再模仿别人了,故E选项“但很快我就厌倦了”符合语境,故选E。
2.根据本段内容“If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.(当你还是个孩子的时候,如果你观察过那些生活糟糕的人,你可能会把他们的恐惧和痛苦当作正常的事情来接受,然后跟随他们的脚步。如果你不为自己做出强有力的选择,你就会得到别人软弱选择的结果)”可知,后文的例子表明不好的榜样,会带来负面的影响,故B选项“在日常生活中,如果我们下意识地树立了不好的榜样,模仿就会伤害我们”符合语境,故选B。
3.根据上文“In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous.(在娱乐领域,我们的文化颂扬名人。那些明星在银幕上看起来很棒。但当他们走出银幕,他们的个人生活可能是灾难性的)”可知,上文提到了明星在银幕上看着光鲜,实际上个人生活很糟糕,说明树立榜样不能仅凭外在,要多关注内在,故A选项“如果你要跟随某人,关注他们的才能,而不是他们的坏性格或不可接受的行为”符合语境,故选A。
4.根据上文“Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them.(有福的人,是愿意按照自己突然产生的创造独特事物的愿望去行动的人。想想那些对你影响最深的电影、书籍、老师和朋友。他们打动了你,因为他们的创作是出于灵感,而不是绝望。改变世界的不是那些按照前人的做法行事的人,而是那些按照自己内心的想法行事的人)”以及后文“The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.(创作者面临的问题不是素材不足,是如何处理敲开想象之门的材料)”可知,上文提到了按照自己内心想法做事,后文则提到了想象,故本句是在说明有创造力的人想法很多,故C选项“有创造力的人有无穷无尽的想法”符合语境,故选C。

(上海市格致中学2023-2024学年高一下学期期中)The Schools That Are Bringing Poor Kids...
A college degree is, in most cases, the key to more money and a more comfortable standard of living. But that pathway to higher earnings is more 1 to some than others: A lot of leading colleges do not enroll a lot of low-income students, and as a result, they’re not 2 very many students from low-income households into the middle and upper classes. 3 , though strategies for enrolling and preserving low-income students are usually mentioned, they can be tough to 4 at scale.
Dozens of top colleges and universities have more students from the top 1 percent of the income scale than the 5 60 percent. And that’s a problem if colleges hope to escape the common 6 that they are little more than a finishing school for the elite (精英).
But there are institutions — a lot of them — that have strong track records of 7 the socioeconomic fortunes of students. If higher education is supposed to be the great equalizer (平衡器), these institutions — from community colleges to public regional four-year colleges — are the ones that are doing the most work.
Colleges should be 8 recruiting and enrolling low-income students — and that means more than targeting ads to 9 students on social media. It means a commitment to going where they are — areas that a lot of schools do not typically recruit — and publicize the process of going to college. Then they should be supporting students with 10 when the students get to campus — whether it’s writing centers, generous financial aid packages, or simply sympathetic academic advisors who perhaps came from low-income backgrounds themselves. And it is also preparing students for jobs after college and building relationships with businesses that 11 the process of finding post-graduation employment for students, especially for those whose parents don’t have their own professional 12 .
Pace ranks first among private colleges in motivating its students from the lowest levels of the income scale and into the middle and upper class. There are a lot of ways in which people of privilege (特权) 13 their college years or having unpaid internships (实习) or having the social capital to get certain jobs. But colleges can fill those 14 , particularly for low-income students, helping students get jobs, or sustaining them with programs that help them land paid internships with top companies. We can provide strong networks through faculty and staff as well to help a new generation, a new, socioeconomically 15 generation, achieve the American dream.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要阐述大学应该为贫困学生实现阶级跨越所能够提供的帮助。
1.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:但这条通往更高收入的途径对一些人来说比其他人更容易获得。A. important重要的;B. necessary有必要的;C. available可用的,可获得的;D. realistic现实的。根据“A lot of leading colleges do not enroll a lot of low-income students”可知,许多顶尖大学不招收很多低收入学生,所以收入较高家庭的学生比低收入家庭的孩子更容易走大学这条路,也就是这条途径对一些人来说比另一些人更容易获得。故选C。
2.考查动词词义辨析。句意:许多顶尖大学没有招收很多低收入学生,因此,他们没有将很多低收入家庭的学生提拔到中上层阶级。A. evaluating评估;B. urging敦促;C. refusing拒绝;D. promoting促进,提升。根据句中的“from low-income households into the middle and upper classes”可知,许多顶尖大学没有招进太多贫困学生,所以没有将太多贫困学生提升到中上层阶级。故选D。
3.考查副词和短语辨析。句意:而且,尽管通常会提到招收和留住低收入学生的策略,但这些策略很难大规模实施。A. However然而;B. What’s more而且;C. In contrast相比之下;D. On the whole总的来说。前文“A lot of leading colleges do not enroll a lot of low-income students, and as a result, they’re not ___2___ very many students from low-income households into the middle and upper classes.”讲述了顶尖大学招收的贫困学生不多,没有帮助太多贫困学生实现阶层提升,这里“though strategies for enrolling and preserving low-income students are usually mentioned, they can be tough to ___4___ at scale”承接上文,继续阐述了太多贫困学生难以获得大学学位提升到中上层阶级的原因——难以大范围实施贫困生助学政策。故选B。

六、阅读理解
(上海复旦大学附属中学2023-2024学年高一下学期期中考试)Trees are magicians with carbon, pulling it out of the air at remarkable rates to store it in their bodies. They are so good at removing this greenhouse gas that “planting trees” is often synonymous with doing environmental good.
And lots of people are planting trees. The number of tree-planting organizations has grown by almost 300 percent in the past 30 years, according to a 2021 paper in the journal Biological Conservation. But while tree planting can capture a great amount of carbon, it is hardly a silver bullet for the climate crisis — express estimate that even if we maximized our available lands for trees, this alone would not be enough to counteract carbon emissions caused by humans. Plus, many plantations grow the same few species in monocultures, which can hurt local biodiversity.
The minority of tree plantations are set up with carbon capture solely, or even primarily in mind, says Jacob Bukoski, a forestry scientist at Oregon State University. Most trees are planted with the goal of harvesting timber or wood pulp (木浆) for paper. Tree-planting organizations are more likely to create plantations for commercial reasons, the authors of the 2021 paper also note, rather than for biodiversity or carbon capture.
In forestry, there’s a saying that you have to plant “the right tree in the right place, for the right reason.” But when many tree plantations are established for commercial purposes, the tree that is planted is often not the “right” tree, says Jesús Aguirre-Gutiérrez, an ecologist at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford.
In a paper published recently in the journal Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Aguirre-Gutiérrez and colleagues argue that focusing on the goal of carbon removal by natural process causes organizations to ignore the importance of restoring balanced ecosystems. The result is a collection of trees that do not support local organisms or promote biodiversity in the way native plant species would have. These problems deserve particular notice in tropical areas where land is vast, and conditions such as stable temperatures and high humidity promote tree growth, as ignoring them while planting trees is damaging. When plantations increased the woody cover of the Brazilian savannah by 40 percent, this “resulted in an about 30 percent reduction in the diversity of plants and ants,” Aguirre-Gutiérrez and his co-authors write in the new paper.
Aguirre-Gutiérrez doesn’t want to discourage people from growing more trees, he says. Rather, we need a better way to protect the natural ecosystems and species there, like encouraging the restoration of native forest tree species. Local plants will be “better adapted to the conditions” in these environments, he says, which means they, and nearby species, are more likely to thrive. “If we go in that direction, that will bring us the added value of capturing carbon, but also this sustainability.”
1.Experts are concerned about tree plantation to reduce greenhouse partly because ______.
A.the number of tree-planting organizations is growing too fast.
B.the speed of tree planting falls far behind that of carbon emission.
C.the selection of species in tree planting can harm local biodiversity.
D.the land available to plant trees is not fully explored and developed.
2.In paragraph 4, “the right reason” refers to ______.
A.mass plantation of carbon-absorbing trees
B.biodiversity preservation with local species
C.harvest of timber or wood pulp for paper
D.tree plantation for commercial purposes
3.Why does the author mention “Brazilian savannah” in paragraph 5?
A.To show the benefits of planting trees in tropical areas
B.To illustrate the vastness and eco-diversity of tropical areas
C.To highlight the negative impact of planting trees in tropical areas
D.To discourage people from randomly planting trees in tropical areas
4.Which of the following statements will Aguirre-Gutiérrez most likely approve of?
A.People and organizations should plant as many trees as they can to capture carbon.
B.Plants in tropical areas can thrive better due to its vast land and agreeable climate.
C.Preserving biodiversity plays a more sustainable role than capturing carbon only.
D.Tree plantation organizations are irresponsible and focus only on making profits.
七、六选四
(22-23高一下·上海奉贤·期末)Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. 1 Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
2 If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. 3
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. 4 The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
A.If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
B.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously hold poor role models.
C.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.
D.I was very proud of myself.
E.But soon I grew bored.
F.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve.

A college degree is, in most cases, the key to more money and a more comfortable standard of living.

But there are institutions — a lot of them — that have strong track records of 7 the socioeconomic fortunes of students.

Colleges should be 8 recruiting and enrolling low-income students — and that means more than targeting ads to 9 students on social media. It means a commitment to going where they are — areas that a lot of schools do not typically recruit — and publicize the process of going to college.

There are a lot of ways in which people of privilege (特权) 13 their college years or having unpaid internships (实习) or having the social capital to get certain jobs. But colleges can fill those 14 , particularly for low-income students, helping students get jobs, or sustaining them with programs that help them land paid internships with top companies. We can provide strong networks through faculty and staff as well to help a new generation, a new, socioeconomically 15 generation, achieve the American dream.
