As part of the festival, people release small floats, krathongs, which are commonly covered in decorative banana leaves, flowers, candles, and so on. People release these on water to wish for good luck. Last year, the best place to enjoy Loy Krathong is Sukhothai, Thailand’s first capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the week-long celebration, locals and visitors could see parades, fireworks, and traditional shows. Getting in and Around Sukhothai In the 13th century, Sukhothai was the center of the Kingdom of Siam, the former name for Thailand. Today, it is known for its well-preserved historical parks. The parks are home to impressive Buddhist temples. The calm and peaceful atmosphere of the city adds to its beauty. During Loy Krathong, Sukhothai’s historical parks are lit up, making its ancient architectures even more magical. Celebrating Loy Krathong Creatively Over time, people thought floating krathongs on water would bring them good luck, but in recent years it’s been impossible to ignore the environmental impact. “Releasing flower krathongs made out of banana plant stems and leaves was never a problem until recently, when the population increased a lot. Of course it creates a mass of krathongs and pollutes water,” says Tongthong Chandransu, a well-known historian. In response, many people are now choosing creative ways to honor the tradition, such as making their krathong bases out natural materials. Others just light a digital krathong online. 1．What is Sukhothai famous for nowadays according to the text? A．Its old name. B．Its historical parks. C．Its busy city life. D．Its firework shows. 2．Why do some people light a digital krathong online to wish for good luck? A．To honor a historian. B．To demonstrate their creativity. C．To avoid crowded people. D．To protect the environment. 3．In which section of a website can the text probably be found? A．Innovation & Design. B．Environment & Climate. C．Culture & Travel. D．Finance & Investment. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是泰国的水灯节。 1．细节理解题。根据Getting in and Around Sukhothai部分的“Today, it is known for its well-preserved historical parks.(今天，它以其保存完好的历史公园而闻名。)”可知，如今，Sukhothai以其历史公园闻名，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据Celebrating Loy Krathong Creatively部分“Of course it creates a mass of krathongs and pollutes water(当然，这会产生大量的水灯并污染水源)”和“In response, many people are now choosing creative ways to honor the tradition, such as making their krathong bases out natural materials. Others just light a digital krathong online.(作为回应，许多人现在选择用富有创意的方式来延续这一传统，比如用天然材料制作水灯底座。还有一些人则直接在网上点亮数字水灯。)”可知，有些人会在网上点上一根祈福灯是为了保护环境。故选D。 3．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Every year, on the night of the full moon in the 12th month of Thailand’s lunar calendar, usually in November, people across Thailand gather to celebrate Loy Krathong. As part of the festival, people release small floats, krathongs, which are commonly covered in decorative banana leaves, flowers, candles, and so on. People release these on water to wish for good luck.(每年，在泰国农历12月的满月之夜，通常是在11月，泰国各地的人们聚集在一起庆祝Loy Krathong。作为节日的一部分，人们释放小花车，通常覆盖着装饰性的香蕉叶、鲜花、蜡烛等。人们把这些放在水里祈求好运。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是泰国的水灯节，因此可能在网站的文化与旅游部分找到这篇文章。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·内蒙古·期中） Here are some museums in honor of famous writers you can visit.

We’re going to explore some of my favorite poetry collections, which range from the traditional all the way to the totally experimental. And though they differ in terms of tone and subject matter, they’ve got all we call “good parts”. Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong It is the first poetry collection from Ocean Vuong. Vuong’s style is well-suited to the heavy subjects he pursues, particularly when he reflects on the loss of his father and his experiences as a wartime refugee. There’s a certain wonderful quality to his writing. Lunch Poems by Frank O’Hara If you like a conversational style, Lunch Poems might be the poetry book for you. Personal, funny, and easy, the collection perfectly shows the casual voice of Frank O’Hara, an outstanding figure of the New School Movement in late 1950s’ New York. As the name suggests, most of the poems were written during his lunch break at work, bringing a realistic image by the writing. 100 Selected Poems by E.E. Cummings It’s a shame that more people don’t take EE Cummings seriously. Yes, his poetry is sometimes experimental. Unconcerned with “rules”, Cummings tried to capture emotion in its own form. The Complete Poems by Elizabeth Bishop In my opinion, any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop. Highly skilled and highly influential, Bishop was one of the most powerful voices of the 20th century. She mostly worked within traditional forms, but the forms led to surprising effects, mixing classic styles with modern ones. 1．Who enjoys writing in a free way? A．Ocean Vuong. B．Frank O’Hara. C．E.E. Cummings. D．Elizabeth Bishop. 2．Which poetry collection may reflect the routine life? A．Lunch Poems. B．100 Selected Poems. C．The Complete Poems. D．Night Sky with Exit Wounds. 3．What does the author think of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry? A．It is powerful. B．It is abstract. C．It is excellent. D．It is surprising. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章向读者推荐了一些作者最喜欢的诗集。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Unconcerned with “rules”, Cummings tried to capture emotion in its own form.(卡明斯不关心“规则”，他试图以自己的形式捕捉情感)”可知，E.E.卡明斯喜欢以自由的方式写作。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“As the name suggests, most of the poems were written during his lunch break at work, bringing a realistic image by the writing.(顾名思义，他的诗大多是在工作的午休时间写的，给人一种现实的感觉)”可知，《午餐诗》可以反映日常生活。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In my opinion, any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop.(在我看来，任何一种奇妙的诗歌书都必须包括伊丽莎白·毕晓普)”可推知，作者认为伊丽莎白·毕晓普的诗歌非常优秀。故选C。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·辽宁大连·期中） Tech Internship Openings at Future AI Labs Future AI Labs is offering summer internship positions for high school students passionate about artificial intelligence.

Passage 2 （24-25高二下·辽宁抚顺·期中） Loy Krathong: Thailand’s Beautiful Festival of Lights Every year, on the night of the full moon in the 12th month of Thailand’s lunar calendar, usually in November, people across Thailand gather to celebrate Loy Krathong. As part of the festival, people release small floats, krathongs, which are commonly covered in decorative banana leaves, flowers, candles, and so on. People release these on water to wish for good luck. Last year, the best place to enjoy Loy Krathong is Sukhothai, Thailand’s first capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the week-long celebration, locals and visitors could see parades, fireworks, and traditional shows. Getting in and Around Sukhothai In the 13th century, Sukhothai was the center of the Kingdom of Siam, the former name for Thailand. Today, it is known for its well-preserved historical parks. The parks are home to impressive Buddhist temples. The calm and peaceful atmosphere of the city adds to its beauty. During Loy Krathong, Sukhothai’s historical parks are lit up, making its ancient architectures even more magical. Celebrating Loy Krathong Creatively Over time, people thought floating krathongs on water would bring them good luck, but in recent years it’s been impossible to ignore the environmental impact. “Releasing flower krathongs made out of banana plant stems and leaves was never a problem until recently, when the population increased a lot. Of course it creates a mass of krathongs and pollutes water,” says Tongthong Chandransu, a well-known historian. In response, many people are now choosing creative ways to honor the tradition, such as making their krathong bases out natural materials. Others just light a digital krathong online. 1．What is Sukhothai famous for nowadays according to the text? A．Its old name. B．Its historical parks. C．Its busy city life. D．Its firework shows. 2．Why do some people light a digital krathong online to wish for good luck? A．To honor a historian. B．To demonstrate their creativity. C．To avoid crowded people.

We’re going to explore some of my favorite poetry collections, which range from the traditional all the way to the totally experimental. And though they differ in terms of tone and subject matter, they’ve got all we call “good parts”. Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong It is the first poetry collection from Ocean Vuong. Vuong’s style is well-suited to the heavy subjects he pursues, particularly when he reflects on the loss of his father and his experiences as a wartime refugee. There’s a certain wonderful quality to his writing. Lunch Poems by Frank O’Hara If you like a conversational style, Lunch Poems might be the poetry book for you. Personal, funny, and easy, the collection perfectly shows the casual voice of Frank O’Hara, an outstanding figure of the New School Movement in late 1950s’ New York. As the name suggests, most of the poems were written during his lunch break at work, bringing a realistic image by the writing. 100 Selected Poems by E.E. Cummings It’s a shame that more people don’t take EE Cummings seriously. Yes, his poetry is sometimes experimental. Unconcerned with “rules”, Cummings tried to capture emotion in its own form. The Complete Poems by Elizabeth Bishop In my opinion, any kind of fantastic poetry books must include Elizabeth Bishop. Highly skilled and highly influential, Bishop was one of the most powerful voices of the 20th century. She mostly worked within traditional forms, but the forms led to surprising effects, mixing classic styles with modern ones. 1．Who enjoys writing in a free way? A．Ocean Vuong. B．Frank O’Hara. C．E.E. Cummings. D．Elizabeth Bishop. 2．Which poetry collection may reflect the routine life? A．Lunch Poems. B．100 Selected Poems. C．The Complete Poems.
