In the 40 years after Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first reached the summit in 1953, an average of 12 people a year followed in their footsteps. In 2023 more than 1,200 people attempted the climb, with 655 making it to the top. What was once an “almost certainly fatal” endeavour is “the new Ironman triathlon”, argues Will Cockrell, a journalist, in “Everest, Inc”, a fascinating new book. High-tech equipment and better understanding of the physiological impact of high altitudes have brought new hopefuls to Everest. But the biggest reason for the rising number of Everest conquerors is the establishment of a professional guiding industry. For a hefty fee—between $35,000 and $110,000—experienced climbers will put novices on top of the world. As with many extreme sports, Everest offers a test. Amateurs want to know if they can achieve something physically and mentally demanding. According to some psychologists, people undertake Herculean endeavours to deny their own mortality. Mr Cockrell believes this helps explain why interest in climbing Everest increases after deaths are reported: people are more attracted to the adventure if they are reminded of its dangers. The guiding industry exists in large part because of a foolhardy but irresistible character called Dick Bass. The heir to an oil fortune, Bass had the lunatic idea of climbing the highest mountains on all seven continents. He bought his way onto three different Everest expeditions and, in 1985, aged 55, he became both the oldest and least experienced climber to reach the summit. The sight of an average Joe on top of the world generated a media frenzy—and the establishment of companies that could cater to the new demand for tours. The early years of guided expeditions in the 1990s were mostly successful. In 1992-95, around 150 people paid to be led up the mountain, and a third succeeded. But in 1996, Jon Krakauer, an American writer, joined one of two simultaneous expeditions that went wrong. A storm “dropped down on the climbers like a piano on a cartoon character”. The guides, eager for their clients to reach the top, delayed turning them around. Three guides and two climbers died. In a bestselling book, “Into Thin Air”, Mr Krakauer argued that Everest had become a high-end tourist trap. He decried the judgment of the guides and the selfishness of inexperienced climbers. Many businesses assumed that the book would crush them. Instead, fascination with Everest soared. The industry has depended on local labour. Large numbers of Nepalis were hired by companies in the West to install ropes and carry equipment for clients. The guiding firms made efforts to build lasting relationships with their teams on the ground. But, Mr Cockrell notes, “The reasons Westerners and Sherpas were climbing mountains remained very different.” Two accidents in the 2010s brought change. In 2014, 16 Sherpas were buried by falling ice while transporting clients’ gear. Their colleagues went on strike and forced the cancellation of the season. Then, in 2015, an avalanche killed ten Sherpas and nine foreign clients. In the aftermath, many Western operators lost their enthusiasm for Everest; today all the biggest guiding firms are Nepali-owned. “Everest, Inc” ends on a confounding note. More people are reaching the summit, but more are dying en route, too: 18 people perished in 2023, the highest-ever number. Nepalese authorities say climate change has caused more extreme weather. Mr Cockrell argues that there was no negligence on the part of the firms. He suggests that Nepali guides consider themselves in the logistics business and generally leave decisions of safety to clients. But amateur climbers make bad choices. The disaster in 1996 showed that even guides get these decisions wrong. Experts know more than ever about how to navigate Everest safely. But that does not make it a safe place. 【译文欣赏】 攀登珠峰是当下热门极限运动 登顶珠峰的人多了，但命丧半途的人也多了 在过去，要具备惊人的勇气、耐力和技巧，才能达成攀登珠穆朗玛峰这一壮举。埃德蒙·希拉里爵士和丹增·诺尔盖于1953年首次登顶，此后的40年间，平均每年有12人追随他们的脚步。2023年，有1200多人尝试攀登珠峰，其中655人成功登顶。 一项曾经“几乎肯定会让人丧命”的活动现在成了“新的铁人三项”，记者威尔·科克雷尔在他引人入胜的新书《珠峰公司》中评论道。有了高科技设备，加之对高海拔生理影响更深入的了解，引得更多人对珠峰跃跃欲试。 但是，珠峰征服者人数不断增加的最大原因还是专业向导产业的建立。向经验丰富的登山者支付3.5万至11万美元不等的高额费用，他们就能将新手送上世界之巅。 与许多极限运动一样，珠峰也提供了一场试炼。业余爱好者想看看自己能否做成什么特别挑战体力和意志力的事情。一些心理学家认为，人们之所以从事艰巨的活动，是拒绝接受自己终有一死的命运。 科克雷尔认为，这有助于解释为什么在死亡事故被报道后，人们对攀登珠峰的兴趣反而会增加：提醒人们探险的危险性，他们更被探险吸引了。 登山向导行业的出现在很大程度上是因为一个名叫迪克·巴斯的人，他一腔蛮勇，却又让人难以抗拒。这位石油财富的继承人有个疯狂的想法，就是踏遍七大洲最高的山峰。 他用金钱铺路，先后三次踏上珠峰之旅。1985年，55岁的他成为登顶珠峰年龄最大、经验最少的登山者。看到这么一个普通人登上世界之巅，媒体为之狂热，可以满足这种旅游新需求的公司也应运而生。 1990年代初期，有向导的登山活动多数都取得了成功。1992至1995年间，约有150人花钱请人带领他们登山，其中三分之一的人成功登顶。但在1996年，两项同时进行的登山活动出了事故，美国作家乔恩·克拉考尔参加了其中之一。 一场风暴“向登山者袭来，就像一架钢琴砸到卡通人物身上”。登山向导迫切想帮助客户登顶，延误了让他们掉头的时间。三名向导和两名登山者丧生。在畅销书《进入空气稀薄地带》中，克拉考尔指出珠穆朗玛峰已成了一个高端旅游陷阱。 他谴责向导们判断力低下，而欠缺经验的登山者自私自利。许多公司都以为这本书会砸了它们的饭碗。没想到，世人对珠峰的痴迷反而急剧升温了。 这个行业依赖当地的劳动力。西方公司雇用大量尼泊尔人为客户安装绳索和搬运装备。向导公司努力与当地团队建立持久的关系。但是，科克雷尔指出：“西方人和夏尔巴人登山的原因仍是天差地别。” 2010年代发生的两起事故带来了改变。2014年，16名夏尔巴人在运送客户的装备时被坠落的冰雪掩埋。他们的同事举行了罢工，迫使登山季取消。 随后在2015年，一场雪崩造成10名夏尔巴人和9名外国客户死亡。这以后，许多西方运营商失去了对珠峰的热情；如今，最大的向导公司全都是尼泊尔人开的。 《珠峰公司》的结尾呈现了一种复杂难解的现实。越来越多的人登顶珠峰，但也有越来越多的人命丧途中：2023年有18人丧生，为历史最高数字。 尼泊尔当局表示，气候变化导致极端天气增多。科克雷尔认为，向导公司并没有玩忽职守。他认为，尼泊尔向导认为自己是负责后勤的，一般会把安全问题留给客户自己去做决定。 但业余登山者会做出糟糕的选择。1996年的灾难显示，就连向导也会做出错误的决定。专家们对于如何安全地攀登珠峰从未如此了如指掌。但这并没有把珠峰变成一个安全之地。 【词汇积累】 du jour [də ˈʒʊər] adj. （法）时下流行的 staggering [ˈstæɡərɪŋ] adj. 令人震惊的；惊人的 endeavour [ɪnˈdevə(r)] n. 努力；尝试；事业 triathlon [traɪˈæθlɒn] n. 铁人三项赛 physiological [ˌfɪziəˈlɒdʒɪkl] adj. 生理学的；生理的 hefty [ˈhefti] adj. 沉重的；巨大的（尤指费用） novice [ˈnɒvɪs] n. 新手；初学者 Herculean [ˌhɜːkjuˈliːən] adj. 极其艰巨的 mortality [mɔːˈtæləti] n. 死亡；死亡率 foolhardy [ˈfuːlhɑːdi] adj. 莽撞的；有勇无谋的 irresistible [ˌɪrɪˈzɪstəbl] adj. 无法抗拒的；诱人的 lunatic [ˈluːnətɪk] adj. 疯狂的；愚蠢的 n. 疯子 expedition [ˌekspəˈdɪʃn] n. 远征；探险队 frenzy [ˈfrenzi] n. 狂热；疯狂 cater to [ˈkeɪtə tu] v. 迎合；满足 simultaneous [ˌsɪmlˈteɪniəs] adj. 同时发生的 decry [dɪˈkraɪ] v. 谴责；诋毁 crush [krʌʃ] v. 压垮；粉碎 soar [sɔː(r)] v. 飙升；高飞 logistics [ləˈdʒɪstɪks] n.

Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. 4. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? A. By teaming up with other photographers. B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks. C. By studying the geographical conditions. D. By creating settings in the corn fields. 5. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A. Proper time management. B. Good shooting techniques. C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles. 6. What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake? A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D. They had problems with their equipment. 7. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake? A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting. 1.Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. 抓标志： 主句： sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes； 让步状语从句： Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar； 同位语/插入成分： either farm fields or highways 判类型： 这是一个由 Although 引导的让步状语从句开头的复合句。从句中又包含一个插入语 “either...or...” 来具体举例说明 “similar” 的表现形式。主句表达了与从句预期相反的结果。 试翻译：尽管中西部的风景往往非常相似，不是农田就是公路，但有时我仍能在山丘或湖泊中发现独特的韵味。 2.To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. 抓标志： 目的状语： To make some of my landscape shots 主句： I have traveled up to four hours away 目的状语： to shoot within a 10-minute time frame 判类型： 这是一个包含 两层目的状语 的简单句。句首的 “To make...” 表示总体的行动目的（为了拍到某些风景照），句末的 “to shoot...” 则表示具体“长途跋涉”这个行为的目的（为了进行一个短暂的拍摄）。两个状语共同烘托出拍摄的艰辛与对时机的极致追求。 试翻译： 为了拍到我的一些风景照，我曾驱车长达四小时，只为捕捉一个十分钟内的画面。 3.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东·期末）Last spring, my youngest daughter Kristen, who had moved from our home in Philadelphia to San Francisco two years earlier, said to me during a video call, “Mom, we need to find a hobby we can do together online.” We already spoke face-to-face through a video connection for an hour every Sunday without fail, and her father even gave her guitar lessons that way. I thought long and hard. Then I said, “I’m genuinely bad at crafts, but what if we try making pot holders? The kind we weave with cotton loops (圈) on a small loom (织布机). When I was 10, I made a lot of them and sold each for 5 cents in our neighborhood. They are easy to learn, but I hope I still have the skill.” Keen on the idea, Kristen quickly ordered us each a loom and loop bags, naming our sessions “Patti’s Pot Holders” after me. I’ve always cherished family time, missing our Sunday dinners around the big table, yet wanted my kids — now young adults — to feel unfettered. “You have wings,” I told them, and Kristen used hers to move 3,000 miles away. She embraced that freedom, texting me daily about new adventures: kayaking, hiking, and salsa dancing. I could barely keep up. Our first pot holder session was spent figuring out the instructions as I jogged my memory. First, I attached loops horizontally to the 7-inch loom. Then I wove other loops over and under the attached ones with a hook, and finished with a crocheted edge. The whole process took about an hour. But by the second session, we had gotten the hang of it well enough to chat freely. We asked each other questions and shared truths, and I learned more about her than when she lived nearby. Now, the 15 colorful pot holders I’ve made hung on my kitchen wall like an art installation. But the real art — listening to and sharing quality time with my daughter — floats in the airwaves between Philadelphia and San Francisco. 1. Why did the author and Kristen decide to make pot holders? A. To share their daily lives. B. To pass on a traditional skill. C. To strengthen their connections. D. To remember the former days. 2. What does the underlined word “unfettered” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Free. B. Energetic. C. Confident. D. Delighted. 3. What can we know about the process of making the pot holders? A. It is out of control. B. It is full of interaction. C. It is highly complicated. D. It is very time-consuming. 4. What does the author’s story show? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. All good things must come to an end. C. Family should be open to each other. D. Tiny shared joys can keep family ties strong. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东·月考）I’m Ellen. Whether I realized it or not, I have had a long-time passion for geography. My childhood was about watching stars, collecting leaves, and running around my family’s orchards (果园). Born and raised in the same town for twenty-one years, I had a fascination and desire to stretch free of my all-too-familiar surroundings. I longed to breathe in new worlds, faces, and scenery. In my house, breakfast time was reading time. My father kept a group of National Geographic magazines in the kitchen. Before I could understand the text, I stared at the images that enlarged my world. How inviting that frogs can be sky-blue, canary-yellow, and tomato-red — when we only have brown toads (蟾蜍) in Southern Illinois! On road trips I was handed an atlas (地图集), following interstate lines with my finger. After several adventures, this atlas eventually made its way into my heart. Taking a close look at the content of my stories and imaginative thoughts, it seems that I have always perceived my world through a geographic angle. When time for college came, selecting an area of study was a hard task. I want to learn and try everything. Yet geography, a field that includes my curious nature, passion for Earth and people, and adventurous spirit, came to me easily. Fascinated by the complexities of this society and space, I have been devoted to geography study ever since. It is human nature to uncover meaning in every aspect of life. Geography seeks to define and assign meaning to space. It is an attempt to appreciate the human race and incredible earth we live on. When I switch on a light, what goes into lighting up the space? Who was involved in producing the shoes that make my day-to-day adventures possible? What are the implications of my actions? What is this world and how do I fit into it? In geography, “space becomes place” and it leads us to enhance our perceptions of life. 1. What pushed Ellen’s eagerness for new worlds? A. Her interest in space. B. Her boring childhood life. C. Her long stay in one town. D. Her family’s big orchards. 2. Why did Ellen choose geography in college? A. It offered more career chances. B. It was popular among students. C. It was a stepping stone to society. D. It suited her personality and love. 3. What does Ellen think of geography? A. It guides daily actions. B. It shapes rich cultures. C. It simplifies complex space. D. It enriches insights into life. 4. What could be the best title of the text? A. Desire for Exploration of Wonders B. Follow Geography Academics C. A Determined Enthusiast for Geography D. Life Is a Map with Designed Routes Passage 4 （25-26高一上·河南·段考）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 On May 16, Beijing's Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism held a special meeting.

In the 40 years after Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first reached the summit in 1953, an average of 12 people a year followed in their footsteps. In 2023 more than 1,200 people attempted the climb, with 655 making it to the top. What was once an “almost certainly fatal” endeavour is “the new Ironman triathlon”, argues Will Cockrell, a journalist, in “Everest, Inc”, a fascinating new book. High-tech equipment and better understanding of the physiological impact of high altitudes have brought new hopefuls to Everest. But the biggest reason for the rising number of Everest conquerors is the establishment of a professional guiding industry. For a hefty fee—between $35,000 and $110,000—experienced climbers will put novices on top of the world. As with many extreme sports, Everest offers a test. Amateurs want to know if they can achieve something physically and mentally demanding. According to some psychologists, people undertake Herculean endeavours to deny their own mortality. Mr Cockrell believes this helps explain why interest in climbing Everest increases after deaths are reported: people are more attracted to the adventure if they are reminded of its dangers. The guiding industry exists in large part because of a foolhardy but irresistible character called Dick Bass. The heir to an oil fortune, Bass had the lunatic idea of climbing the highest mountains on all seven continents. He bought his way onto three different Everest expeditions and, in 1985, aged 55, he became both the oldest and least experienced climber to reach the summit. The sight of an average Joe on top of the world generated a media frenzy—and the establishment of companies that could cater to the new demand for tours. The early years of guided expeditions in the 1990s were mostly successful. In 1992-95, around 150 people paid to be led up the mountain, and a third succeeded. But in 1996, Jon Krakauer, an American writer, joined one of two simultaneous expeditions that went wrong. A storm “dropped down on the climbers like a piano on a cartoon character”. The guides, eager for their clients to reach the top, delayed turning them around. Three guides and two climbers died. In a bestselling book, “Into Thin Air”, Mr Krakauer argued that Everest had become a high-end tourist trap. He decried the judgment of the guides and the selfishness of inexperienced climbers. Many businesses assumed that the book would crush them. Instead, fascination with Everest soared. The industry has depended on local labour. Large numbers of Nepalis were hired by companies in the West to install ropes and carry equipment for clients. The guiding firms made efforts to build lasting relationships with their teams on the ground. But, Mr Cockrell notes, “The reasons Westerners and Sherpas were climbing mountains remained very different.” Two accidents in the 2010s brought change. In 2014, 16 Sherpas were buried by falling ice while transporting clients’ gear. Their colleagues went on strike and forced the cancellation of the season. Then, in 2015, an avalanche killed ten Sherpas and nine foreign clients. In the aftermath, many Western operators lost their enthusiasm for Everest; today all the biggest guiding firms are Nepali-owned. “Everest, Inc” ends on a confounding note. More people are reaching the summit, but more are dying en route, too: 18 people perished in 2023, the highest-ever number. Nepalese authorities say climate change has caused more extreme weather. Mr Cockrell argues that there was no negligence on the part of the firms. He suggests that Nepali guides consider themselves in the logistics business and generally leave decisions of safety to clients. But amateur climbers make bad choices. The disaster in 1996 showed that even guides get these decisions wrong. Experts know more than ever about how to navigate Everest safely. But that does not make it a safe place. 【译文欣赏】 攀登珠峰是当下热门极限运动 登顶珠峰的人多了，但命丧半途的人也多了 在过去，要具备惊人的勇气、耐力和技巧，才能达成攀登珠穆朗玛峰这一壮举。埃德蒙·希拉里爵士和丹增·诺尔盖于1953年首次登顶，此后的40年间，平均每年有12人追随他们的脚步。2023年，有1200多人尝试攀登珠峰，其中655人成功登顶。 一项曾经“几乎肯定会让人丧命”的活动现在成了“新的铁人三项”，记者威尔·科克雷尔在他引人入胜的新书《珠峰公司》中评论道。有了高科技设备，加之对高海拔生理影响更深入的了解，引得更多人对珠峰跃跃欲试。 但是，珠峰征服者人数不断增加的最大原因还是专业向导产业的建立。向经验丰富的登山者支付3.5万至11万美元不等的高额费用，他们就能将新手送上世界之巅。 与许多极限运动一样，珠峰也提供了一场试炼。业余爱好者想看看自己能否做成什么特别挑战体力和意志力的事情。一些心理学家认为，人们之所以从事艰巨的活动，是拒绝接受自己终有一死的命运。 科克雷尔认为，这有助于解释为什么在死亡事故被报道后，人们对攀登珠峰的兴趣反而会增加：提醒人们探险的危险性，他们更被探险吸引了。 登山向导行业的出现在很大程度上是因为一个名叫迪克·巴斯的人，他一腔蛮勇，却又让人难以抗拒。这位石油财富的继承人有个疯狂的想法，就是踏遍七大洲最高的山峰。 他用金钱铺路，先后三次踏上珠峰之旅。1985年，55岁的他成为登顶珠峰年龄最大、经验最少的登山者。看到这么一个普通人登上世界之巅，媒体为之狂热，可以满足这种旅游新需求的公司也应运而生。 1990年代初期，有向导的登山活动多数都取得了成功。1992至1995年间，约有150人花钱请人带领他们登山，其中三分之一的人成功登顶。但在1996年，两项同时进行的登山活动出了事故，美国作家乔恩·克拉考尔参加了其中之一。 一场风暴“向登山者袭来，就像一架钢琴砸到卡通人物身上”。登山向导迫切想帮助客户登顶，延误了让他们掉头的时间。三名向导和两名登山者丧生。在畅销书《进入空气稀薄地带》中，克拉考尔指出珠穆朗玛峰已成了一个高端旅游陷阱。 他谴责向导们判断力低下，而欠缺经验的登山者自私自利。许多公司都以为这本书会砸了它们的饭碗。没想到，世人对珠峰的痴迷反而急剧升温了。 这个行业依赖当地的劳动力。西方公司雇用大量尼泊尔人为客户安装绳索和搬运装备。向导公司努力与当地团队建立持久的关系。但是，科克雷尔指出：“西方人和夏尔巴人登山的原因仍是天差地别。” 2010年代发生的两起事故带来了改变。2014年，16名夏尔巴人在运送客户的装备时被坠落的冰雪掩埋。他们的同事举行了罢工，迫使登山季取消。 随后在2015年，一场雪崩造成10名夏尔巴人和9名外国客户死亡。这以后，许多西方运营商失去了对珠峰的热情；如今，最大的向导公司全都是尼泊尔人开的。 《珠峰公司》的结尾呈现了一种复杂难解的现实。越来越多的人登顶珠峰，但也有越来越多的人命丧途中：2023年有18人丧生，为历史最高数字。 尼泊尔当局表示，气候变化导致极端天气增多。科克雷尔认为，向导公司并没有玩忽职守。他认为，尼泊尔向导认为自己是负责后勤的，一般会把安全问题留给客户自己去做决定。 但业余登山者会做出糟糕的选择。1996年的灾难显示，就连向导也会做出错误的决定。专家们对于如何安全地攀登珠峰从未如此了如指掌。但这并没有把珠峰变成一个安全之地。 【词汇积累】 du jour [də ˈʒʊər] adj. （法）时下流行的 staggering [ˈstæɡərɪŋ] adj. 令人震惊的；惊人的 endeavour [ɪnˈdevə(r)] n. 努力；尝试；事业 triathlon [traɪˈæθlɒn] n. 铁人三项赛 physiological [ˌfɪziəˈlɒdʒɪkl] adj. 生理学的；生理的 hefty [ˈhefti] adj. 沉重的；巨大的（尤指费用） novice [ˈnɒvɪs] n. 新手；初学者 Herculean [ˌhɜːkjuˈliːən] adj. 极其艰巨的 mortality [mɔːˈtæləti] n. 死亡；死亡率 foolhardy [ˈfuːlhɑːdi] adj. 莽撞的；有勇无谋的 irresistible [ˌɪrɪˈzɪstəbl] adj. 无法抗拒的；诱人的 lunatic [ˈluːnətɪk] adj. 疯狂的；愚蠢的 n. 疯子 expedition [ˌekspəˈdɪʃn] n. 远征；探险队 frenzy [ˈfrenzi] n. 狂热；疯狂 cater to [ˈkeɪtə tu] v. 迎合；满足 simultaneous [ˌsɪmlˈteɪniəs] adj. 同时发生的 decry [dɪˈkraɪ] v. 谴责；诋毁 crush [krʌʃ] v. 压垮；粉碎 soar [sɔː(r)] v. 飙升；高飞 logistics [ləˈdʒɪstɪks] n.

Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. 4. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? A. By teaming up with other photographers. B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks. C. By studying the geographical conditions. D. By creating settings in the corn fields. 5. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A. Proper time management. B. Good shooting techniques. C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles. 6. What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake? A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D. They had problems with their equipment. 7. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake? A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名风景摄影师，在摄影途中发生的一些所见所闻。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。通过文章第二段“I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. (我倾向于和几个朋友一起去州立公园或乡村探险，沿途拍照)”可知，作为一名中西部的风景摄影师，作者应对挑战的方式是去乡村或州立公园拍摄。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. (尽管如此，回顾这些照片，它们仍然是我最好的一些照片，尽管如果我能明智地准备和管理我的时间，它们本可以拍得更好)”可推知，作者认为，风景摄影成功的关键是适当的时间管理。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. (然而，我们没有标出路线，所以我们几乎完全错过了日落)”可推知，作者在与朋友的魔鬼湖之旅中，到达拍摄地点的时间比预期的要晚。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. (尽管如此，回顾这些照片，它们仍然是我最好的一些照片，尽管如果我能明智地准备和管理我的时间，它们本可以拍得更好)”可推知，作者认为自己在魔鬼湖拍摄的照片是令人满意的。故选B。 1.Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. 抓标志： 主句： sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes； 让步状语从句： Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar； 同位语/插入成分： either farm fields or highways 判类型： 这是一个由 Although 引导的让步状语从句开头的复合句。从句中又包含一个插入语 “either...or...” 来具体举例说明 “similar” 的表现形式。主句表达了与从句预期相反的结果。 试翻译：尽管中西部的风景往往非常相似，不是农田就是公路，但有时我仍能在山丘或湖泊中发现独特的韵味。 2.To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. 抓标志： 目的状语： To make some of my landscape shots 主句： I have traveled up to four hours away 目的状语： to shoot within a 10-minute time frame 判类型： 这是一个包含 两层目的状语 的简单句。句首的 “To make...” 表示总体的行动目的（为了拍到某些风景照），句末的 “to shoot...” 则表示具体“长途跋涉”这个行为的目的（为了进行一个短暂的拍摄）。两个状语共同烘托出拍摄的艰辛与对时机的极致追求。 试翻译： 为了拍到我的一些风景照，我曾驱车长达四小时，只为捕捉一个十分钟内的画面。 3.

I thought long and hard. Then I said, “I’m genuinely bad at crafts, but what if we try making pot holders? The kind we weave with cotton loops (圈) on a small loom (织布机). When I was 10, I made a lot of them and sold each for 5 cents in our neighborhood. They are easy to learn, but I hope I still have the skill.” Keen on the idea, Kristen quickly ordered us each a loom and loop bags, naming our sessions “Patti’s Pot Holders” after me. I’ve always cherished family time, missing our Sunday dinners around the big table, yet wanted my kids — now young adults — to feel unfettered. “You have wings,” I told them, and Kristen used hers to move 3,000 miles away. She embraced that freedom, texting me daily about new adventures: kayaking, hiking, and salsa dancing. I could barely keep up. Our first pot holder session was spent figuring out the instructions as I jogged my memory. First, I attached loops horizontally to the 7-inch loom. Then I wove other loops over and under the attached ones with a hook, and finished with a crocheted edge. The whole process took about an hour. But by the second session, we had gotten the hang of it well enough to chat freely. We asked each other questions and shared truths, and I learned more about her than when she lived nearby. Now, the 15 colorful pot holders I’ve made hung on my kitchen wall like an art installation. But the real art — listening to and sharing quality time with my daughter — floats in the airwaves between Philadelphia and San Francisco. 1. Why did the author and Kristen decide to make pot holders? A. To share their daily lives. B. To pass on a traditional skill. C. To strengthen their connections. D. To remember the former days. 2. What does the underlined word “unfettered” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Free. B. Energetic. C. Confident. D. Delighted. 3. What can we know about the process of making the pot holders? A. It is out of control. B. It is full of interaction. C. It is highly complicated. D. It is very time-consuming. 4. What does the author’s story show? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. All good things must come to an end. C. Family should be open to each other. D. Tiny shared joys can keep family ties strong. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和女儿通过一起制作隔热手套来增进亲情的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Last spring, my youngest daughter Kristen, who had moved from our home in Philadelphia to San Francisco two years earlier, said to me during a video call, “Mom, we need to find a hobby we can do together online.”(去年春天，我最小的女儿克里斯汀两年前从我们在费城的家搬到了旧金山，她在一次视频通话中对我说：“妈妈，我们需要找一个可以在网上一起做的爱好。”)”和第二段中“Keen on the idea, Kristen quickly ordered us each a loom and loop bags, naming our sessions “Patti’s Pot Holders” after me.(克里斯汀很喜欢这个想法，很快给我们每人订购了一个织布机和环状袋，并以我的名字命名我们的活动为“帕蒂的隔热手套”)”可知，女儿克里斯汀两年前离开了家，从费城搬到了旧金山，平时与作者只能视频通话。女儿提出找一个可以在网上一起做的爱好——制作隔热手套——是为了加强母女之间的联系。故选C项。 2.词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““You have wings,” I told them, and Kristen used hers to move 3,000 miles away. She embraced that freedom, texting me daily about new adventures: kayaking, hiking, and salsa dancing.(“你们都有翅膀，”我曾这样告诉她们。而克里斯汀真的展翅飞到了三千英里外。她尽情拥抱这份自由，每天发短信向我讲述新冒险：划独木舟、徒步远征、跳莎莎舞)”可知，作者希望孩子们能自由飞翔，去感受自由。由此可推知，划线词unfettered意为“自由的”，与A项“Free”意思相近。故选A项。 3.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Our first pot holder session was spent figuring out the instructions as I jogged my memory. First, I attached loops horizontally to the 7-inch loom. Then I wove other loops over and under the attached ones with a hook, and finish with a crocheted edge. The whole process took about an hour. But by the second session, we had gotten hang of it well enough to chat freely. We asked each other questions and shared truths, and I learned more about her than when she lived nearby.(我们第一次做隔热手套，我一边努力回忆步骤一边研究说明书。首先将编织圈水平固定在7英寸的织架上，然后用钩针引导其他编织圈上下穿梭，最后用钩针收边。整个过程耗时约一小时。但到第二次制作时，我们已熟练到能轻松闲聊——相互提问，分享心事，我反而比她住在隔壁时更了解她的世界)”可知，在制作隔热手套的过程中，作者与女儿充满了互动。故选B项。 4.推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Last spring, my youngest daughter Kristen, who had moved from our home in Philadelphia to San Francisco two years earlier, said to me during a video call, “Mom, we need to find a hobby we can do together online.”(去年春天，我最小的女儿克里斯汀两年前从我们在费城的家搬到了旧金山，她在一次视频通话中对我说：“妈妈，我们需要找一个可以在网上一起做的爱好。”)”和最后一段“Now, the 15 colorful pot holders I’ve made hung on my kitchen wall like an art installation. But the real art — listening to and sharing quality time with my daughter — floats in the airwaves between Philadelphia and San Francisco.(现在，我做的15个色彩鲜艳的隔热手套像艺术品一样挂在我厨房的墙上。但真正的艺术——倾听并与女儿分享美好时光——在费城和旧金山之间的电波中飘荡)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者和女儿通过一起制作隔热手套来增进亲情的故事，作者的故事表明小小的共同乐趣可以保持家庭关系的紧密。故选D项。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东·月考）I’m Ellen. Whether I realized it or not, I have had a long-time passion for geography. My childhood was about watching stars, collecting leaves, and running around my family’s orchards (果园). Born and raised in the same town for twenty-one years, I had a fascination and desire to stretch free of my all-too-familiar surroundings. I longed to breathe in new worlds, faces, and scenery. In my house, breakfast time was reading time. My father kept a group of National Geographic magazines in the kitchen. Before I could understand the text, I stared at the images that enlarged my world. How inviting that frogs can be sky-blue, canary-yellow, and tomato-red — when we only have brown toads (蟾蜍) in Southern Illinois! On road trips I was handed an atlas (地图集), following interstate lines with my finger. After several adventures, this atlas eventually made its way into my heart. Taking a close look at the content of my stories and imaginative thoughts, it seems that I have always perceived my world through a geographic angle. When time for college came, selecting an area of study was a hard task. I want to learn and try everything. Yet geography, a field that includes my curious nature, passion for Earth and people, and adventurous spirit, came to me easily. Fascinated by the complexities of this society and space, I have been devoted to geography study ever since. It is human nature to uncover meaning in every aspect of life. Geography seeks to define and assign meaning to space. It is an attempt to appreciate the human race and incredible earth we live on. When I switch on a light, what goes into lighting up the space? Who was involved in producing the shoes that make my day-to-day adventures possible? What are the implications of my actions? What is this world and how do I fit into it? In geography, “space becomes place” and it leads us to enhance our perceptions of life. 1. What pushed Ellen’s eagerness for new worlds? A. Her interest in space. B. Her boring childhood life. C. Her long stay in one town. D. Her family’s big orchards. 2. Why did Ellen choose geography in college? A. It offered more career chances. B. It was popular among students. C. It was a stepping stone to society. D. It suited her personality and love. 3. What does Ellen think of geography? A. It guides daily actions. B. It shapes rich cultures. C. It simplifies complex space. D. It enriches insights into life. 4. What could be the best title of the text? A. Desire for Exploration of Wonders B. Follow Geography Academics C. A Determined Enthusiast for Geography D. Life Is a Map with Designed Routes 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. D 4. C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艾伦自幼对地理怀有热情，童年通过《国家地理》杂志和地图集培养兴趣，因地理契合自身天性与热爱，大学选择该专业，认为其能赋予空间意义、提升对生活的认知。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Born and raised in the same town for twenty-one years, I had a fascination and desire to stretch free of my all-too-familiar surroundings. I longed to breathe in new worlds, faces, and scenery.(在同一个城镇出生和长大了21年，我有一种迷恋和渴望，想要从我过于熟悉的环境中解脱出来。我渴望呼吸到新的世界、新的面孔和新的风景)”可知，在一个城镇的长期停留促使艾伦对新世界的渴望。故选C项。 2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Yet geography, a field that includes my curious nature, passion for Earth and people, and adventurous spirit, came to me easily. Fascinated by the complexities of this society and space, I have been devoted to geography study ever since.(然而，地理这个包含了我好奇的天性、对地球和人的热情以及冒险精神的领域，很容易就来到了我的面前。被这个社会和空间的复杂性所吸引，我从此致力于地理研究)”可知，地理学科契合艾伦“好奇的天性、对地球和人类的热爱、冒险精神”，即符合她的性格和喜好，因此她选择了地理专业。故选D项。 3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When I switch on a light, what goes into lighting up the space? Who was involved in producing the shoes that make my day-to-day adventures possible? What are the implications of my actions? What is this world and how do I fit into it? In geography, “space becomes place” and it leads us to enhance our perceptions of life.(当我打开一盏灯，是什么照亮了这个空间？是谁参与制作了让我的日常冒险成为可能的鞋子？我的行为意味着什么？这个世界是什么？我该如何融入这个世界？在地理学中，“空间变成了地方”，它引导我们增强对生活的感知)”可推知，艾伦认为地理丰富了对生活的洞察力。故选D项。 4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段讲童年对地理的潜在热爱和探索欲；第二段讲童年通过杂志、地图集培养地理兴趣；第三段讲大学选择地理专业的原因；第四段讲对地理学科意义的理解。全文围绕“艾伦对地理的热爱”展开。由此可知，选项C“一位坚定的地理爱好者”准确概括了全文核心，既体现了Ellen对地理的热情，也涵盖了她从童年到大学的坚持，适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 Passage 4 （25-26高一上·河南·段考）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 On May 16, Beijing's Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism held a special meeting.

Back then, we lived with my grandparents in Oceanside, California. ___1___ My father hadn’t found steady employment yet, and we were struggling to secure an affordable place to call our own. ___2___ But my mom made the best of the situation. She created fond memories for my brother Jess and me. These would shape our perspectives forever. Yet I didn’t fully appreciate the wisdom behind her actions until many years later. As it was, once or twice a week, my mom would take us to the nearest bus stop. ___3___ The public transportation system in the area was remarkably extensive. My mom earned the system well and would guide us to various destinations. We’d window-shop at nalls and wandered around nearby neighborhoods— not to buy anything, but to enjoy the sights and do some people-watching. On other adventures, we’d take the bus all the way to strand Beach. ___4___ We’d watch ships sail by in the distance and often hear helicopters or other aircraft roar overhead, heading to the naval base at Camp Pendleton. Every trip was so much fun. I was grateful to her for turning that tough period into a grand expedition. My mom did more than just distract Jess and me from our troubles. She planted in us a love for keeping our eyes open and appreciating a world that was ours to enjoy without costing much. ___5___ A. She never complained about the hard life. B. Finances were tight for our family back then. C. That was our starting point to “see the world.” D. It would have been easy to give in to frustration. E. There, we collected sand dollars and shells as souvenirs. F. We would spend hours talking to strangers we met on the bus. G. She showed us whatever we experienced, there was always joy to find. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. E 5. G 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了童年时期家庭经济拮据时，母亲如何通过带他们乘坐公交车探险，将困境转化为美好的回忆，并教会他们发现生活中简单快乐的故事。 1.根据上文“Back then, we lived with my grandparents... my father hadn't found steady employment yet, and we were struggling...”（那时，我们和祖父母住在一起……父亲还没有找到稳定的工作，我们正努力寻找一个负担得起的住所……），此处是在描述家庭面临的困难。空格后“My mom made the best of the situation.”（妈妈充分利用了这种处境）则开始了转折。因此，空格处应承接上文的困难描述，并为母亲的积极应对做铺垫。B项“Finances were tight for our family back then.”（那时我们家经济很紧张）准确概括了家庭的经济状况，是引出下文母亲行动的直接背景。故选B。 2.空格前一句“Finances were tight...”（经济紧张）描述了困境，空格后“But my mom made the best of the situation.”（但妈妈充分利用了这种处境）以“But”构成强烈转折。因此，空格处应填入一个表达在困境中可能的负面反应或情绪的句子，以反衬母亲的乐观。D项“It would have been easy to give in to frustration.”（原本很容易陷入沮丧）恰好提供了这种对比，意为“（在这种处境下）屈服于沮丧是很容易的”，但母亲却没有这样做，从而突出了她的坚韧与智慧。故选D。 3.空格前描述了母亲每周带他们去公交站这一具体行为。空格后则详细说明了他们如何利用发达的公交系统去往各种地方探险。因此，空格处应起到承上启下的作用，将“去公交站”这一行为与后文的“探索世界”联系起来。C项“That was our starting point to 'see the world.'”（那是我们“看世界”的起点）完美地实现了这一功能，既指代了“公交站”，又引出了后文乘坐公交车进行的各种冒险，使语意连贯。故选C。 4.空格前明确提到“take the bus all the way to strand Beach”（乘公交车一直到斯特兰德海滩），指明了地点。空格后描述的是在海滩上“watch ships sail by”（看船只驶过）和“hear helicopters...”（听到直升机声）等其他活动。因此，空格处最可能填入一个描述在海滩上进行的、与之并列的活动的句子。E项“There, we collected sand dollars and shells as souvenirs.”（在那里，我们收集沙钱和贝壳作为纪念品）具体补充了在海滩的活动细节，与后文共同构成了完整的海滩游玩经历，逻辑通顺。故选E。 5.空格位于文章结尾。前文总结了母亲的教导：她不仅分散了孩子们的注意力，更在他们心中种下了“用开放的眼睛欣赏世界”的种子。因此，结尾句应是对母亲行为意义的进一步升华或总结。G项“She showed us whatever we experienced, there was always joy to find.”（她向我们表明，无论经历什么，总能找到快乐）精准地概括了全文主旨，即母亲通过那些公交车之旅传递给孩子们的人生哲学，与文章开头描述的困难时期形成呼应，并点明了核心主题。故选G。 Passage 6 （25-26高一上·浙江·期末）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Although driving your car is likely second nature, a successful road trip is more than just shifting your vehicle to “drive”.

Identify must-visit-spots, local restaurants, and lodging options along your route — and consider making reservations during peak travel periods.
