(2025·潍坊高一期末)For as long as Paul Ninson can remember, storytelling has been a part of his DNA.Growing up in Kumasi, Ghana, with his grandparents, he was attracted by the historical stories they shared.“I would contribute in some way to telling my own story.I studied arts in school.When I reached university, I studied clothing design but it wasn’t enough for me,” says Ninson.
One day, a friend of his returned from the USA with a camera and that was when things began to get interesting.Ninson was introduced to a new world of photography (摄影).At the time, he had a side business designing and printing T-shirts but he decided to close that business and sold his iPhone to buy a camera.
To be different from the other Ghanaian photographers, Ninson took some ideas from a book Blue Ocean Strategy.He made a living by taking pictures during events but he knew photojournalism was his true calling.“My content was different and the pictures I was posting were different.That earned me acceptance to one of the best photography schools in New York, the International Center of Photography,” recalls Ninson.
All of a sudden, a world of chances opened up to Ninson.He spent his free time at the New York public library among the thousands of books and images.“I saw photos of Africa that I had never seen before, which made me wonder why these images were in America, but not in Africa.That was how the idea of a photo library began.”
Today, that small dream has turned into “the biggest photo library in Africa” as Ninson calls it, the Dikan Center, which opened in December last year with 30,000 books.“Now we are more than a library.We have education programs, a story lab, and a community center which is a space to enjoy free Internet and resources for everyone to hang out,” says Ninson.

A.His side business. B.His interest in arts.
C.Grandparents’ stories. D.A friend’s influence.

(2025·洛阳高一期末)With the recent relaxation in travel, I found myself visiting Innsbruck, the capital city of the state of Tyrol in Western Austria.
This amazing destination is surrounded by snow capped mountains and is perfect for a short break.You can even enjoy a breathtaking sight at Innsbruck airport as the plane gently moves between the mountains on its journey to the runway.
The city is a combination of modern and historic buildings, serving both as a thriving (繁荣的) university town and a popular tourist centre.Walking through cobbled (铺砌的) streets and specially designed buildings, I could not help but be impressed by this awe-inspiring city.I learned from my guide-book that Innsbruck was the imperial capital 500 years ago when the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian Ⅰ settled here, and it still lives up to its royal (王室的) connections today with its lavish (奢侈的) and amazing buildings.I walked round this city which was easy to explore on foot, amazed at the dramatic backdrop of the Nordkette mountain range which offers skiing, hiking via the Nordkettenbahnen cable railway which is just a 20-minute ride from the centre of Innsbruck.The Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof), an important landmark in Innsbruck shining in the sunlight, can be viewed from the street, and took my breath away.
Of course, no visit to Innsbruck is complete without sampling traditional Austrian food including my personal favourite — apple strudel with vanilla cream.Roadside cafes are plentiful in the city and there is nothing more relaxing than sitting in the sunshine, drinking coffee and watching the world go by.Innsbruck stole my heart with its amazing buildings, great mountains and friendly people.I cannot wait to return to sample more of this delightful European city.
12.How is the text developed?( )

C.He climbed the mountain. D.He took a 20-minute ride.
14.What does the underlined word “sampling” in paragraph 4 mean?( )
A.Making. B.Tasting.
C.Buying. D.Serving.
15.What’s a suitable title for the text?( )
A.Innsbruck — My Great Hometown B.Guidelines on Traveling in Innsbruck
C.A Combination of Present and History D.My Great Escape — Inspiring Innsbruck

What shouldn’t I do in London?
Visit the Natural History Museum during the school holidays
Children love dinosaurs.16.( ).The Natural History Museum is really the best museum in the world, and frankly I would live in it if I could.But unfortunately, it is too popular.

Visit Oxford Street
17.( ).But there are fewer senior citizens going for a jog, 20 million more people actually visiting, no parking, higher prices and no climate control.

Ask anyone if they know the Queen
“Oh, you’re American.Do you know Barack Obama?” sounds a bit ridiculous, doesn’t it? 19.( ).More than 60 million people live in the UK, and over eight million of those live in Greater London alone.Britain may look small on a map, but it definitely is not once you get here.

Ⅱ.

20.E 空前说他们有的闭着眼睛,有的在看循环使用的伦敦地铁报纸,看手机,看糟糕的广告,或目光聚集在门上。E项说明了英国人不愿意和陌生人说话,承接上文。
