Scientific experiments are serious and can- not be conducted blindly.Therefore,be careful with the way you do something and you'll be closer to your goal."I listened to my dad's words and felt a sense of relief, knowing that no one was hurt. Reflecting on my dad's instructive words,I began cleaning the mess.With gloves on,I picked up the black bits of tin foil and glass pieces across the kitchen floor and wiped away water stains from the stove top.The cleaning process felt like penning a reflective learning summa- ry.I understood knowledge without cau- tion is a double-edged sword and that sci- ence experiments require precision and careful planning.I promise to approach future experiments mindfully, seeking guidance and aware of potential conse quences. 主题语境7 I,A[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。 文章主要介绍了在夏令营期间，除了白天 的活动外，还可以安排哪些晚上的活动， 并详细说明了每种活动的准备方法、注意 事项以及可能带来的乐趣。 1.A [推理判断题。根据文章第二段 "Night hikes are a fun evening activity for summer campers,especially older ones.Take a guided night hike,allo- wing yourself to experience nature in a different setting.Make sure that you wear appropriate clothes and always fol- low appointed paths.Plan the hike to ensure that you can return safely before it gets too late in the evening.(夜间徒 步旅行对夏令营者来说是一项有趣的 夜间活动，尤其是年龄较大的人。参加 一次有导游的夜间徒步旅行，让自己在 不同的环境中体验大自然。一定要穿 合适的衣服，走指定的路。计划好徒步 旅行，确保你能在天黑前安全返回。)” 可知，作者建议营员在参加夜间徒步之 前应该考虑的是穿着和安全。故 选A。 2.A [细节理解题。根据文章第三段 "It's also a good idea to check the fore cast.If there is rain,have alternative indoor summer camp activities.(看一下 天气预报也是个好主意。如果有雨，进 行其他的室内夏令营活动。)”可知，电 影之夜需要注意天气情况。故选A。] 3.D[细节理解题。根据文章最后一段 "Instead of stories,you may preler campfire rhythms.Bring out the gui tars,drums,and other instruments for a beautiful evening.You can perform traditional camp songs or learn some 9.B[细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 thing new for the evening.(比起故事， "This encouragement gave her the push 你可能更喜欢等火节奏。为一个美丽 to make it a market research project to 的夜晚，拿出吉他，鼓，和其他乐器。你 test the waters and explore the potential 可以表演传统的营地歌曲，或者在晚上 market.(这种鼓励促使她把它变成 学习一些新的东西。)”可知，“Campfire 个市场研究项目，以尝试和探索潜在市 Rhythms”是与音乐相关的活动，适合喜 场。)”可知，Maitri通过开展市场研究项 欢音乐的营员。故选D。 目把她的想法变成现实。] B.「语篇解读门本文是一篇记叙文。文 10.A[词义猜测题。根据划线词后文 章主要讲述了一对夫妇在家门口建立了 "It took her quite some time to find 一个小型免费图书馆，与社区书籍爱好者 vendors(小贩)and make them under 建立联系，分享阅读乐趣的故事。 stand how to make the products.(她花 4.B[推理判断题。根据文章第一段 了很长时间才找到供应商，并让他们 “The idea resonated(引起共鸣)with 了解如何制作产品。)”可知，她花了很 us immediately-instead of selling the 长时间才找到供应商，并让他们了解 books we didn't want to read,we could 如何制作产品，说明一开始遇到了障 simply walk them to the roadside.(i 碍。故划线词的意思是“障碍”。 个想法立刻引起了我们的共鸣 我 1l.D[主旨大意题。根据第二段“This 们可以直接把不想读的书送到路边，而 childhood experience had gnawed 不是卖掉。)”可知，作者建立Little Free at the back of her mind,pushing Library是为了更好地处理自己不想要 her to do something to ease the lives of 的书籍。故选B。 fellow left -handers.In September 5.C[主旨大意题。根据文章第三段 2018,she started The Left Out Store, "Many of those who use our library do which makes everyday products ran- not hesitate to share their love of this ging from left-handed writing tools and neighborhood resource.One gentleman scissors to kitchen tools for left-handed regularly stops by to pick up books for a people.(这段童年经历一直在她的脑 nearby retirement home.

Night Hikes Night hikes are a fun evening activity for summer campers,especially older ones.Take a guided night hike,allowing yourself to experi- ence nature in a different setting.Make sure that you wear appropriate clothes and always follow appointed paths.Plan the hike to ensure that you can return safely before it gets too late in the evening. Movie Nights Set up a screen and projector outdoors,and have a movie night under the stars.Prepare blankets,popcorn,and a comfortable spot for yourself to spread out and get comfortable.You should also consider other forms of seating,in- cluding chairs and picnic tables.It's also a good idea to check the forecast.If there is rain,have alternative indoor summer camp activities. Campfire Stories Gather around a campfire for storytelling. The goal is to entertain and help campers bond. Select stories that suit the age and interests of your audience.You can also share experiences and horror stories.However,speaking aloud around the campfire is sometimes a struggle. Prepare some familiar stories in advance. Campfire Rhythms Instead of stories,you may prefer campfire rhythms.Bring out the guitars,drums,and other instruments for a beautiful evening.You can perform traditional camp songs or learn something new for the evening.The easiest op- tion is to select a variety of songs that cater to all ages and musical tastes. 1.What should campers consider before taking night hikes? A.Dress and security. B.Bonding and entertainment. C.Audience's age and interests. D.Story selection and preparation. 2.What can be learned about movie nights? A.They require attention to the weather. B.They are more popular than campfire stories. C.They take place in an indoor screening room. D.They offer various forms of free food services. ·31 做人与做事 、生态度，公民义务与社会责任 3.Which of the following suits campers enjo- ying music most? A.Night hikes. B.Movie nights. C.Campfire stories. D.Campfire rhythms. B My husband made a little two-story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library,while I carefully select- ed books from our shelves.The idea resonated (引起共鸣)with us immediately-instead of selling the books we didn't want to read,we could simply walk them to the roadside. Fifteen or so years later,it's safe to say that thousands of books,as well as the occa- sional DVDs,CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library.Situated on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway sta- tion,our little library sees dozens,perhaps hundreds,of passers-by each day. Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource.One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home.At other times,we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist. Like the people who use our library,the books that come and go reflect the broad diver- sity of our city.Books in Arabic,French,and Russian are commonly found alongside the dom- inant(占主导地位的)English-language books.I've even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don't understand,simply for the joy of adding another edition to my col- lection.Surprisingly,our library hasn't dealt with our book storage problem-if anything, we now have more books than ever before. I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent book- stores.This has not been our experience.We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has raised our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighbor- hood. 4.Why did the author and her husband create the Little Free Library? A.To make friends with book lovers. B.To deal with their unwanted books. C.To show their kindness to the neighbors. D.To make use of community resources. 5.What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A.The various resources of the library. B.People's contributions to the library. C.People's love for the library. D.The author's devotion to the neighborhood. 6.What can we learn about the library accord- ing to paragraph 4? A.It reflects the city diversity. B.It has advantages over public libraries. C.It only has books of dominant languages. D.It has solved the problem of book storage. 7.What is the best title for the text? A.The Comfortable Reading Corner:Promo- ting Reading B.The Whispering Pages:Tales from a Shared Library C.The Little Free Library:Contributing to Closer Connection D.The Magic Bookshelf:Account of Neigh- borhood Harmony C Growing up,Maitri Wadher,a left-han- der,has struggled to cope in a world made for right-handed people.From school desks to spi- ral notebooks that stop the natural flow of writ- ing,Maitri has faced tough challenges from a young age."My mother used to tie my left hand and make me eat with my right until a doctor warned that this could significantly af- fect my growth and confidence,"Maitri says. This childhood experience had gnawed at the back of her mind,pushing her to do something to ease the lives of fellow left-hand- ers.In September 2018,she started The Left Out Store,which makes everyday products ran- ging from left-handed writing tools and scissors to kitchen tools for left-handed people. Starting The Left Out Store wasn't in the cards for Maitri for a very long time.The idea for The Left Out Store came to Maitri in just 20 minutes during a festival at St.Joseph's Insti- tute of Management,where she was a post- graduate student.She presented the rough idea to judges who later became sponsors,and they enthusiastically supported it.This encourage- ·31 第一部分人与自我 ment gave her the push to make it a market re- [答题栏] search project to test the waters and explore theI----- potential market. 1 o ee and make them understand how to make the 3 products.With everything in place,Maitri went through a tough time reaching customers.4 The first time she made a proper sale was at an5 exhibition at Lalit Ashok."People were sur- prised at first,but gradually more left-handed-6------ people began approaching me,and said theyre- late to my struggles."Since then,she has been regularly marketing her products at exhibi-_8_---- tions,and keeps The Left Out Store active on social media. 9-1 8.What challenge did Maitri face as a left-han-10 der while growing up? A.Unfair judgement. 11 B.Lack of parents'love. 12..- C.Limited access to education. D.Struggle with school tools. 13.-. 9.How did Maitri turn her idea into a reality? 14 A.By seeking student sponsors. B.By conducting market research. 15 C.By expanding the potential market. D.By carrying out her long-thought plan. 1 10.What does the underlined word"hiccups"proba-2 bly mean? A.Barriers. B.Threats. 3 C.Complaints. D.Oppositions. 4 11.What might be a suitable title for the passage? A.A Left-Hander's Struggles 5 B.Maitri's Marketing Strategies C.Maitri:A Social Media Celebrity D.The Left Out Store:Maitri's Journey D Kishiki Noriyo pulls up outside a house in Akashi,a city in western Japan in a truck with a heart logo and the slogan:"Diaper delivery: we also deliver kindness."She steps out with two bags of diapers(尿布).Higuchi Miki,a young mother appears at the front door with a baby.Ms Kishiki is on the front line of a ten- year push by Akashi to encourage its residents to have children.It includes delivering free ba- by food and diapers,free medical care and school lunches.The effort seems to be paying off.Akashi's population has increased for ten years in a row,to more than 300,000. 3 高考总复习英语(H) This makes the town exceptional.Japan's birth rate was below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman in the mid-1970s and has been steadily declining ever since.Many barriers to young Japanese forming families, from high education costs to inflexible family laws can only be tackled with national policies. But Akashi shows how local communities can make a difference.That starts with improving access to nurseries and day care,and smaller projects such as Ms Kishiki's,also help. Kato Hisakazu of Meiji University thinks Japan "needs to foster a culture that is generous to children".Efforts to build more child-care facilities are often blocked by locals who worry about increased noise.Tanaka Yumi,a mother of two,says young Japanese parents are used to receiving a "cold look"from their unsympathet- ic neighbors.But the abundance of young fami- lies in the town and the supportive policies of its local administration provide comfort. Akashi's pro-child efforts are intended to drive the same cultural change.Morioka Kazu- mi of the town's child-care department says the diaper deliveries are more about "reducing lone- liness"than the goods themselves.Ms Higu- chi,the young mother,appreciates that."It's nice when someone checks on me,”she says.“It makes me feel I'm on the right track. 12.What can be inferred about Kishiki Noriyo? A.She delivers paid medical care. B.She assists families with children. C.She sees no prospect of her hard work. D.She struggles with work as a young mother. 13.What do Akashi's efforts suggest? A.Young couples are still hesitant about having babies. B.National policies are inadequate in impro- ving low birth rate. C.The town becomes world-famous for the increasing population. D.Local communities can contribute a lot in encouraging baby births. 14.What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A.Japanese parents suffer from loneliness. B.Japanese are not tolerant enough of chil- dren C.Child-care facilities are in great need in Akashi. D.More and more young families have moved to Akashi. ·31 15.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Diaper Delivery Reduces Mums'Stress B.Japan Makes Plans to Increase Baby Births C.Akashi Turns the Low Birth Rate for Higher D.The Young Face Barriers in Forming Families Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Don't Lose Motivation Many of us have a dream that we would love to achieve.Having dreams is fine,but a- chieving dreams requires determination,single- mindedness,courage,and commitment.1 Staying motivated can be hard,especially if you think you are being frustrated frequently. How,then,do we get motivated?2 Motivational speakers outline their recipes for success.There are videos,books,documenta- ries,and online courses available to anyone see- king motivation. Our dreams are usually a bit vague(模糊 )3.A long-term goal will be the ulti- mate dream-let's say,setting up a new busi- ness.Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal. 4.Their attitude is going to be opti- mistic and confident,and you can draw on that yourself.Negative thoughts can soon disappear if you are with people who exude(洋溢)posi- tivity. Often we can learn more from our mistakes than we can from our successes.If we make a mistake,then we have to analyze why.By thinking about the error,working out what went wrong,and seeking another way of doing the task,we are learning.We must not see fail- ures as a bad thing.5. It is important not to worry about losing motivation.The important thing is to tackle it as soon as you realize your motivation has gone. Think about why your self-motivation has been lost and then get back on the road to success. A.The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals B.Your plan itself is a source of self-motivation C.You can keep yourself motivated by mixing with other motivated people D.Above all,we must feel motivated to fulfill our dreams and remain motivated E.Review your progress regularly to make sure that you are still on course for success F.They enable us to avoid the mistake happen- ing another time G.A whole industry has grown up dedicated to motivating people
