[素能提升练] Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共10分) (2025·湖北省荆州市高二上期末) When most kids go to the beach，they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice litter，but several years ago，for 7-year-old Cash Daniels，noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet. Cash，who is now known as the “conservation kid”，has always loved nature.He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River，after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean，he couldn’t sit back． He started with cleanups along the river，something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors.In 2019，Cash，together with a Canadian conservationist，Ella Galaski-Rossen，started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids.Despite living in different countries，they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel.“We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U．S.and Canada，” Cash said.“We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean，” Cash said. Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards.He also earned the title of National Honoree，where he received a $5，000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his choice，and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation. “I want to travel the world，teach others，and help them feel connected to the ocean.Because if you are connected to the ocean—if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it，” he said.“This is my fun，and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是Cash Daniels热爱大自然，他从7岁开始就对保护地球充满了热情，他先从清理河流沿岸开始，并将此发展成一项人们可以广泛参与的活动。他被评选为2021年美国十大青年志愿者之一。 1．Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in Paragraph 2? A．Fall asleep. B．Lose heart. C．Turn a blind eye. D．Lend a hand. 答案：C 解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第二段画线词之前“He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River，after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean，he couldn’t”以及第三段开头 “He started with cleanups along the river，something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors.”可知当Cash Daniels看到并了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终都进入了海洋以后，他开始对河流岸边的垃圾进行了清理，最终这件事成为了人们可以广泛参与的活动，由此可以推测Cash Daniels对于最终都进入了海洋的垃圾没有置之不理，而是采取了积极的行动。故选C项。 2．What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids? A．To recycle waste plastics. B．To make instructive videos. C．To spread marine knowledge. D．To appeal for ocean protection. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“‘We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean，’Cash said.”可知the Cleanup Kids的目的是让内陆各州的孩子和成年人了解他们的行为与水和海洋的关系，即呼吁人们保护海洋。故选D项。 3．Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels? A．Sympathetic and devoted. B．Initiative and talented. C．Ambitious and humorous. D．Determined and modest. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容可知Cash热爱大自然，关心环境，所以他是富有同情心的。根据文章最后一段内容可知Cash想要环游世界，教育别人，帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系，所以他是有奉献精神的。故选A项。 4．What does Cash Daniels’ story imply? A．Passion fuels dreams. B．Great minds think alike. C．Helping others is of great fun. D．Actions speak louder than words. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章内容可知一根塑料吸管激发了Cash拯救地球的热情而这种热情进而转化成了他的梦想，所以Cash 的故事暗示了激情可以点燃梦想。故选A项。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分) (2025·吉林省通化市高二上期末) Live Long and Prosper You can’t avoid getting old.But the decisions you make now about how you spend your day will have a great impact on the quality of your life.
