Passage 5
(24-25学年高一下·山东德州·期末)
Trendy vacation spots often come with big crowds and expensive price tags. To help you avoid both, look at the hottest travel cities below and find alternative destinations that provide similar atmosphere and activities.
Maui vs. St. Lucia
Maui, Hawaii: $4,259
St. Lucia: $3,650
If you want your vacation to include amazing volcanic beaches, coral reefs, rainforest hikes to waterfalls, and mountain scenery, you could go to Maui. But if you trade the waters of the Pacific for the Caribbean, you can enjoy a less expensive island tour in Saint Lucia. Visit the buildings with a long history. Bathe in the pool under a waterfall. Explore the nature reserve and observe more than 180 bird species particularly. You might even spot the rare St. Lucia parrot.
Barcelona vs. Mexico City
Barcelona, Spain: $3,819
Mexico City, Mexico: $2,319
Both Barcelona and Mexico City offer visitors historic streets, world-class museums and enough cuisine—but visiting Mexico City costs considerably less. Visit the National Anthropology Museum. This massive concrete building, built in the 1960s, is as breathtaking as the world’s largest collection of ancient Mexican artifacts(文物)housed inside it.
Athens vs. Cuzco
Athens, Greece: $3,910
Cuzco, Peru: $3,042
Looking for ancient ruins, mountainous scenery and warm hospitality? Greece may come to mind, but Peru checks all of those boxes and more. The ancient Inca ruins draw over a million of visitors each year. You’ll need to plan in advance to see its magical peaks: Daily tickets are limited and tend to sell out, especially during peak seasons in July and August.
1. What is unique to St. Lucia compared to Maui?
A. Volcanic beach. B. Rainforest hike. C. Pacific scenery. D. Bird diversity.
2. What can we know about the National Anthropology Museum?
A. It has a history of over 100 years. B. It is made of wood and stone.
C. It links Barcelona and Mexico City. D. It is as impressive as its collections.
3. What can be inferred about visiting Cuzco in August?
A. Tickets must be booked early. B. Visiting time is restricted.
C. Fewer tourists visit the ruins. D. Hotel prices drop significantly.
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文通过对比热门高价旅游城市与性价比更高的替代目的地,为读者提供“避开人潮、节省开支”的旅行建议。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。 根据Maui vs. St. Lucia部分对 St. Lucia 的描述“Explore the nature reserve and observe more than 180 bird species particularly. You might even spot the rare St. Lucia parrot.(探索自然保护区,尤其可以观察到180多种鸟类。你甚至可能看到罕见的圣卢西亚鹦鹉。)”可知,圣卢西亚拥有独特而丰富的鸟类多样性,而这一点并未提及在 Maui 中存在。故选D项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。 根据Barcelona vs. Mexico City部分对 National Anthropology Museum 的描述“This massive concrete building, built in the 1960s, is as breathtaking as the world’s largest collection of ancient Mexican artifacts housed inside it.(这座巨大的混凝土建筑建于20世纪60年代,与世界上最大的墨西哥古文物收藏一样令人惊叹。)”可知,博物馆本身的建筑令人震撼,其震撼程度与馆内珍藏的文物不相上下。故选D项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。 根据Athens vs. Cuzco部分对 Cuzco 的描述“You’ll need to plan in advance to see its magical peaks: Daily tickets are limited and tend to sell out, especially during peak seasons in July and August.(你需要提前计划,才能看到它神奇的山峰:每日门票有限,往往会售罄,尤其是在7月和8月的旺季。)”可推断,在八月这一旅游高峰期,门票供不应求,必须提前预订。故选A项。

Watching movies is great for improving your English. And if you choose films that you enjoy watching, you’ll learn English without even realising it! Here are four movies that are perfect for English learners.
Charlotte’s Web (2006)
Story: The power of friendship between a pig(Wilbur)and a spider(Charlotte).
The live-action film, a fine adaptation of E. B. White’s book, will entertain the young audience with cute talking animals and easy-to-follow language. Adults will also be charmed by heartwarming good time and learn to look at the world with curiosity and joy.
Toy Story(1995)
Story: A cartoon film about toys that come to life when children and adults aren’t around.
The storylines are clear and the characters use simple but useful language. Though it’s mainly for kids, Toy Story doesn’t feel childish. The story and jokes also attracted adults, so parents would be more likely to take their children to see the film.
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Story: Things go wrong when a group of kids get a free tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
This film is also great for English learners as it is generally easy to follow. And you’ll hear some extracts(选段) from English literature because Willy often quotes well-known writers such as Oscar Wilde and Shakespeare.
The Sound of Music(1965)
Story: A young woman (Maria) becomes the nanny for seven children in a house in the Austrian Alps.
The Sound of Music is a musical and listening to music is one of the best ways to improve your English. Many of the film’s songs have become classics because they’re so catchy.

【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了四部电影,说明了它们各自的特点和适合观看的人群,旨在帮助英语学习者通过看电影提高英语水平。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Toy Story(1995)下的“A cartoon film about toys that come to life when children and adults aren’t around.(一部关于玩具的卡通电影,当孩子和大人不在身边时,玩具就会活过来)”可知,Toy Story最吸引卡通爱好者。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (1971)下的“Things go wrong when a group of kids get a free tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.(当一群孩子免费参观威利旺卡的巧克力工厂时,事情出了问题)”以及The Sound of Music(1965)下的“A young woman (Maria) becomes the nanny for seven children in a house in the Austrian Alps.(一个年轻的女人(玛丽亚)成为奥地利阿尔卑斯山一所房子里七个孩子的保姆)”可知,Charlie & the Chocolate Factory和The Sound of Music的共同之处是他们有儿童角色。故选D项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Watching movies is great for improving your English. And if you choose films that you enjoy watching, you’ll learn English without even realising it!

Passage 4
(24-25学年高一下·山东宁阳·期末)
The sticky heat in summer means that diving into cool water is a must when summer comes around. Here are some of the world’s best cities for swimming.
Copenhagen, Denmark
A city surrounded by water, Copenhagen is a joy for swimmers. Amager Beach Park is a perfect sandy spot for whiling away an afternoon. It’s a two-kilometer artificial island that creates a calm lagoon (环礁湖). If leaving the city is difficult for you, the harbor baths (海水浴场) at Islands Brygge and Fisketorvet are a winning choice. You can try out the diving boards or swim in the clean, cool water.
Zurich, Switzerland
Zurich has 18 official outdoor bathing spots, all offering crystal-clear water in amazing surroundings. Tiefenbrunnen swimming beach, on the shores of Lake Zurich, is the big draw thanks to its kids’ pool, diving boards and the chance to get a post-swim massage (按摩). For something unusual, men can try the Schanzengraben river pool, which dates back to 1864. The women-only Stadthausquai pool is a new treasure with views of the old town.
Vancouver, Canada
People’s preference for all outdoor activities makes it the best city in Canada for anyone taking to the water. The beaches here are wonderful. For a swimming away from the crowds, Third Beach is the best choice. On the Stanley Park seawall, its calm waters are great for a lengthy session of breast stroke (蛙泳). Best of all, visitors can bring their own barbecue.
Sydney, Australia
Home to the world’s largest natural harbor and some of Australia’s best beaches, Sydney is a city which lives for the water. Swimmers should avoid the surfers at Bondi and instead make for Clovelly Bay. Measuring 350 meters long and just 60 meters wide, with a breakwater weakening those big waves, it’s a fascinating place for those who enjoy a peaceful atmosphere.
1. What do Vancouver and Sydney have in common?
A. They offer barbecue service. B. They each have a less-crowded beach.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·山东潍坊·期末)
Britain’s seaside towns, once badly hurt, are now coming back to life! Old buildings still stand, but new art centres, fun activities, and popular places are bringing back their past glory. Here are four towns to visit this summer.
Scarborough, Yorkshire
Scarborough may be Britain’s first seaside spot for vacation. In the 1600s, people came for its health-giving springs. After years of downturn, it’s now improving thanks to new plans: hosting everything from poetry readings to rock music festivals, while still welcoming visitors to its top-rated beaches.
Margate, Kent
Every coastal town wants to attract visitors all year, and Margate does this best. When bad weather keeps people from the beach, there’s lots of indoor fun-like old-fashioned games and the Turner Contemporary art centre. But what really helps Margate grow is the strong community spirit, everyone working together.
Barmouth, Wales
On the way to famous North Wales spots like Snowdonia, don’t miss Barmouth! This hidden town sits where a river meets the sea, with mountains behind its beaches. Its slogan (口号) is “mountain, sand & sea” — just look at the sunset over the water with mountains in the distance. Many visitors love it so much that they decide to move here and become residents!
Penzance, Cornwall
Penzance has recovered slowly, not suddenly. Over the last 10 years, many new projects have helped the town. The main events are the 10-day Golowan festival, which features parades and shows, and the Montol winter celebration. Visitors can take a sleeper train (a train with beds) from London, or fly by helicopter to nearby Scilly Isles. The local food is also very popular!
1. What attracted people to Scarborough in the 1600s?
A. Poetry readings. B. Music festivals. C. Seaside attractions. D. Healthful springs.
2. What is the main factor for Margate’s growth?
A. Warm weather. B. Indoor activities. C. Local teamwork. D. Modern facilities.
3. Which town has liveable natural conditions?
A. Margate, Kent. B. Barmouth, Wales.

Many visitors love it so much that they decide to move here and become residents!(在前往著名的北威尔士景点(如斯诺多尼亚)的途中,千万不要错过Barmouth!这座隐匿的小镇位于一条河流与大海交汇之处,其海滩背后是群山。它的宣传口号是“山、沙与海”——只需看看那远处山峦与水面交相辉映的落日景色即可。许多游客如此喜爱这里,以至于决定搬到这里并成为这里的居民!)”可知,Barmouth具备适宜居住的自然条件。故选B。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·山东寿光·期末)
There is no doubt that books have the power to change how people think about the world and the universe around them. These 3 astronomy books have had a significant impact on the way humans think about our place and purpose in the universe:
On the Heavens (about 350 BC) by Aristalle
Aristotle proposed a geocentric (以地球为中心的) model of the universe in the book. This work is significant as a master work of the Aristotelian worldview, a school of philosophy that dominated (支配) intellectual thinking for almost 2000 years.Eventually,almost everything in it was proven incorrect, but On the Heavens, which is still in print, provides a fascinating view of astronomical evolution.
The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres (1543) by Nicolaus Copernicus
In this book, Copernicus argued that the Sun rather than the Earth lies in the center of the universe. The Earth moves as a planet around the Sun. The most important advantage offered by Copernicus was a vision of the universe as an integrated system, where all the planets move together in elegant harmony.
The Mechanism of the Heavens (1831) by Mary Somerville
Different from his book Physical Geography, this book was embraced as an important contribution to the understanding of celestial motion (天体运动). It became extremely valuable to both astronomers and students and it was used as a textbook for more than half a century. The book went through many revisions, keeping pace with astronomical developments over time. It proves that given the opportunity, women could match the men in science step for step.
1. What can we learn about the book On the Heavens?
A. It is banned from printing.
B. It mainly focuses on philosophy.
C. It is used by many schools today.
D. It has proven almost completely wrong.
2. What do On the Heavens and The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres have in common?
A. They revealed the truth of the universe.
B. They are master works of the same era.
C. They explored the center of the universe.
D. They regard the universe as an integrated system.
3. Which book brings more motivation to women in science?
A. On the Heavens.
B. Physical Geography.
C. The Mechanism of the Heavens.
D. The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres.
【答案】1. D 1. C 2. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍三本对人类思考我们在宇宙中的位置和目的的方式产生了重大影响的书籍。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题On the Heavens (about 350 BC) by Aristalle下的“Aristotle proposed a geocentric (以地球为中心的) model of the universe in the book. This work is significant as a master work of the Aristotelian worldview, a school of philosophy that dominated (支配) intellectual thinking for almost 2000 years. Eventually, almost everything in it was proven incorrect, but On the Heavens, which is still in print, provides a fascinating view of astronomical evolution.(亚里士多德在书中提出了一个地心说的宇宙模型。作为亚里士多德世界观的代表作,这本书意义重大。亚里士多德世界观是一种哲学流派,在近2000年的时间里主导了智力思维。最终,书中几乎所有的内容都被证明是错误的,但《论天》这本仍在印刷的书,提供了一个关于天文演化的迷人视角)”可知,On the Heavens这本书几乎所有的内容都被证明是错误的。故选D项。
【2题详解】

The Earth moves as a planet around the Sun. The most important advantage offered by Copernicus was a vision of the universe as an integrated system, where all the planets move together in elegant harmony.(在这本书中,哥白尼认为太阳而不是地球是宇宙的中心。地球作为一颗行星围绕太阳运行。哥白尼提出的最重要的优点是,他把宇宙看成一个整体系统,所有的行星都优雅地和谐地一起运动)”可知,On the Heavens和The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres两本书的共同点是它们探索了宇宙的中心。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题The Mechanism of the Heavens (1831) by Mary Somerville下的“Different from his book Physical Geography, this book was embraced as an important contribution to the understanding of celestial motion (天体运动).

The book went through many revisions, keeping pace with astronomical developments over time. It proves that given the opportunity, women could match the men in science step for step.(与他的《自然地理学》不同,这本书被认为是对天体运动理解的重要贡献。它对天文学家和学生来说都是非常有价值的,被当作教科书用了半个多世纪。这本书经过多次修订,以跟上天文学发展的步伐。它证明,只要有机会,女性可以在科学上一步一步地赶上男性)”可知,The Mechanism of the Heavens这本书证明,只要有机会,女性可以在科学上一步一步地赶上男性,能给投身科学的女性带来更多动力。故选C项。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·山东威海·期末)
In 2024, Opportunity International ran a program for volunteers worldwide to share Al-based ideas and then develop them with support from companies like Microsoft and Amazon. The best ideas were selected, and their creators received funding to test the free-to-use apps in their communities, with the goal of reaching millions of people within two years.
FARM HELP
The app is designed to use personal data to give advice that fits each farmer’s needs — like what seeds to plant or how much fertilizer (肥料) to use and when — based on climate, the size of the land, and crop history. The app’s ability to understand climate patterns in real time is quite important, for farmers consider climate as the topmost problem. With AI, working with the different climate changes is achievable.
LESSON PLANNING
This app helps teachers develop lesson plans specifically for their own students’ needs. Its founder once taught in a country school in Ghana, and found that teachers had little training and lacked resources and knowledge about how to meet the needs of students of different ages and learning styles. This app allows teachers to input information about students’ learning styles, and then creates lesson plans for them.
SCHOOLADMINISTRATION
Another app helps school owners with aspects of school development, such as employing teachers, marketing, and behavioral management. The app is expected to be a partner in the pocket for school leaders, to give them real-time solutions and ideas. It is ready to be introduced in 20,000 schools, possibly reaching 6 million students.
1. What can FARM HELP help farmers with?
A. Storing seeds. B. Selling produce online.
C. Dealing with different weather. D. Preventing crop diseases.
2. Who is SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION designed for?
A. School leaders. B. Teachers. C. Students. D. Parents.
3. What do the three apps have in common?
A. They are offered to people for free.
B. They are made for less-developed areas.
C. They are created by big tech companies.
D. They are funded to start a global business.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·山东寿光·期末)
There is no doubt that books have the power to change how people think about the world and the universe around them. These 3 astronomy books have had a significant impact on the way humans think about our place and purpose in the universe:
On the Heavens (about 350 BC) by Aristalle
Aristotle proposed a geocentric (以地球为中心的) model of the universe in the book. This work is significant as a master work of the Aristotelian worldview, a school of philosophy that dominated (支配) intellectual thinking for almost 2000 years.Eventually,almost everything in it was proven incorrect, but On the Heavens, which is still in print, provides a fascinating view of astronomical evolution.
The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres (1543) by Nicolaus Copernicus
In this book, Copernicus argued that the Sun rather than the Earth lies in the center of the universe. The Earth moves as a planet around the Sun. The most important advantage offered by Copernicus was a vision of the universe as an integrated system, where all the planets move together in elegant harmony.
The Mechanism of the Heavens (1831) by Mary Somerville
Different from his book Physical Geography, this book was embraced as an important contribution to the understanding of celestial motion (天体运动). It became extremely valuable to both astronomers and students and it was used as a textbook for more than half a century. The book went through many revisions, keeping pace with astronomical developments over time. It proves that given the opportunity, women could match the men in science step for step.
1. What can we learn about the book On the Heavens?
A. It is banned from printing.
B. It mainly focuses on philosophy.
C. It is used by many schools today.
D. It has proven almost completely wrong.
2. What do On the Heavens and The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres have in common?
A. They revealed the truth of the universe.
B. They are master works of the same era.
C. They explored the center of the universe.
D. They regard the universe as an integrated system.
3. Which book brings more motivation to women in science?
A. On the Heavens.
B. Physical Geography.
C. The Mechanism of the Heavens.
D. The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres.
【答案】1. D 1. C 2. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍三本对人类思考我们在宇宙中的位置和目的的方式产生了重大影响的书籍。

Passage 3
(24-25学年高一下·山东淄博·期末)
Shared mobility (出行) could be a key part of a greener transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this. Here’s the breakdown of barriers to using bikeshares for different people.
Barriers to using bikeshares
Various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reaching underserved communities. On-demand shared mobility that feeds into well-developed public transportation systems could reduce the number of vehicles in some cities by 90 percent and cut transportation emissions (排放) by 50 percent — but only if it largely replaces private car use.
Subsidy (补贴) programs for low-income residents have shown promise in increasing the use of shared mobility while decreasing the use of personal vehicles.
E-Bike Library programs include maintaining the bikes, organizing training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety.
Mobitwin, a social transportation service for elderly people and those with reduced mobility, lets elderly people request a ride from a volunteer for a small fee.
Station-based systems where cars are picked up and dropped off at fixed locations can also make it easier for women to plan for their transportation needs.
“Being able to get out and about is a necessary part of participating in society, and reduced mobility goes hand in hand with social loneliness, ” says Esen Köse, a project manager at Mpact. “We want to make sure that people who are often not in the societal cycle of going to work or going to school, who are actually often left out, still have an option to get out of the house and do the simple daily things, like going to the store, going to the hairdresser and seeing families.”
1. In For man, what percentage of barriers does unfamiliarity account for?
A. 53%. B. 15%. C. 34%. D. 19%.
2. Which project is most suitable for a female photographer?
A. Subsidy programs. B. E-Bike Library programs.
C. Mobitwin. D. Station-based systems.
3. What is Esen Köse’s expectation regarding people with reduced mobility?
A. Aiding them to get jobs. B. Making them better educated.
C. Helping them get around. D. Letting them feel ignored.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了共享出行在构建绿色交通系统中的作用,还列举了不同人群使用共享单车的障碍及一些相关解决方案项目。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据图表可知,对于“Lower income (male) (低收入男性)”而言,“BARRIER 1: Lack of familiarity with the bikeshare system (障碍一:对共享单车系统不熟悉)”占比34%,对于“Higher income (male) (高收入男性)”而言,占19%。所以,对男性来说,“对共享单车系统不熟悉”这一障碍占比为53%。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格中“Station-based systems where cars are picked up and dropped off at fixed locations can also make it easier for women to plan for their transportation needs. (在固定地点接送车辆的基于站点的系统也可以让女性更容易规划她们的出行需求)”可知,基于站点的系统能方便女性规划出行,所以对于女性摄影师来说最合适。故选D项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Esen Köse的话“We want to make sure that people who are often not in the societal cycle of going to work or going to school, who are actually often left out, still have an option to get out of the house and do the simple daily things, like going to the store, going to the hairdresser and seeing families. (我们想确保那些经常不在上班或上学的社会循环中,实际上经常被忽视的人,仍然有机会走出家门,做一些简单的日常事情,比如去商店、去理发店和看望家人)”可知,Esen Köse期望帮助行动不便的人出行。故选C项。

Passage 4
(24-25学年高一下·山东临沂·期末)
Each street tells its own story. These streets are famous for their history, culture, or special charm, making them symbols of their cities.
Champs-Élysées
Paris’s Champs-Élysées is one of the world’s most beautiful streets. Lined with cafés and shops, it connects the Arc de Triomphe to busy Parisian neighborhoods. Visitors love walking here and taking photos of the grand monument at its western end.
Lombard Street
Built in 1922, San Francisco’s Lombard Street is famous for its eight sharp turns on a steep hill. To make driving safer, people must drive very slowly(just 8k m/h!). Driving or walking down this zigzag road feels like a fun adventure and offers great views of the city.
Abbey Road
In London, Abbey Road became famous after The Beatles took a photo here for their 1969 album. Fans still visit the crosswalk to copy the band’s pose. Look out for messages fans write on the street’s walls!
Santa Monica Boulevard
This sunny Los Angeles street stretches from West Hollywood to the Pacific Ocean. With palm trees and restaurants, it ends at the Santa Monica Pier. It’s hard to imagine this lively area was once just empty railroad tracks until the 1980s!
Fifth Avenue

Trendy vacation spots often come with big crowds and expensive price tags. To help you avoid both, look at the hottest travel cities below and find alternative destinations that provide similar atmosphere and activities.
Maui vs. St. Lucia
Maui, Hawaii: $4,259
St. Lucia: $3,650
If you want your vacation to include amazing volcanic beaches, coral reefs, rainforest hikes to waterfalls, and mountain scenery, you could go to Maui. But if you trade the waters of the Pacific for the Caribbean, you can enjoy a less expensive island tour in Saint Lucia. Visit the buildings with a long history. Bathe in the pool under a waterfall. Explore the nature reserve and observe more than 180 bird species particularly. You might even spot the rare St. Lucia parrot.
Barcelona vs. Mexico City
Barcelona, Spain: $3,819
Mexico City, Mexico: $2,319
Both Barcelona and Mexico City offer visitors historic streets, world-class museums and enough cuisine—but visiting Mexico City costs considerably less. Visit the National Anthropology Museum. This massive concrete building, built in the 1960s, is as breathtaking as the world’s largest collection of ancient Mexican artifacts(文物)housed inside it.
Athens vs. Cuzco
Athens, Greece: $3,910
Cuzco, Peru: $3,042
Looking for ancient ruins, mountainous scenery and warm hospitality? Greece may come to mind, but Peru checks all of those boxes and more. The ancient Inca ruins draw over a million of visitors each year. You’ll need to plan in advance to see its magical peaks: Daily tickets are limited and tend to sell out, especially during peak seasons in July and August.
1. What is unique to St. Lucia compared to Maui?
A. Volcanic beach. B. Rainforest hike. C. Pacific scenery. D. Bird diversity.
2. What can we know about the National Anthropology Museum?
A. It has a history of over 100 years. B. It is made of wood and stone.

Passage 3
(24-25学年高一下·山东实验中学·期末)
Watching movies is great for improving your English. And if you choose films that you enjoy watching, you’ll learn English without even realising it! Here are four movies that are perfect for English learners.
Charlotte’s Web (2006)
Story: The power of friendship between a pig(Wilbur)and a spider(Charlotte).
The live-action film, a fine adaptation of E. B. White’s book, will entertain the young audience with cute talking animals and easy-to-follow language. Adults will also be charmed by heartwarming good time and learn to look at the world with curiosity and joy.
Toy Story(1995)
Story: A cartoon film about toys that come to life when children and adults aren’t around.
The storylines are clear and the characters use simple but useful language. Though it’s mainly for kids, Toy Story doesn’t feel childish. The story and jokes also attracted adults, so parents would be more likely to take their children to see the film.
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Story: Things go wrong when a group of kids get a free tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

Passage 4
(24-25学年高一下·山东宁阳·期末)
The sticky heat in summer means that diving into cool water is a must when summer comes around. Here are some of the world’s best cities for swimming.
Copenhagen, Denmark
A city surrounded by water, Copenhagen is a joy for swimmers. Amager Beach Park is a perfect sandy spot for whiling away an afternoon. It’s a two-kilometer artificial island that creates a calm lagoon (环礁湖). If leaving the city is difficult for you, the harbor baths (海水浴场) at Islands Brygge and Fisketorvet are a winning choice. You can try out the diving boards or swim in the clean, cool water.
Zurich, Switzerland
Zurich has 18 official outdoor bathing spots, all offering crystal-clear water in amazing surroundings. Tiefenbrunnen swimming beach, on the shores of Lake Zurich, is the big draw thanks to its kids’ pool, diving boards and the chance to get a post-swim massage (按摩). For something unusual, men can try the Schanzengraben river pool, which dates back to 1864. The women-only Stadthausquai pool is a new treasure with views of the old town.
Vancouver, Canada
People’s preference for all outdoor activities makes it the best city in Canada for anyone taking to the water. The beaches here are wonderful. For a swimming away from the crowds, Third Beach is the best choice. On the Stanley Park seawall, its calm waters are great for a lengthy session of breast stroke (蛙泳). Best of all, visitors can bring their own barbecue.
Sydney, Australia
Home to the world’s largest natural harbor and some of Australia’s best beaches, Sydney is a city which lives for the water. Swimmers should avoid the surfers at Bondi and instead make for Clovelly Bay. Measuring 350 meters long and just 60 meters wide, with a breakwater weakening those big waves, it’s a fascinating place for those who enjoy a peaceful atmosphere.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·山东潍坊·期末)
Britain’s seaside towns, once badly hurt, are now coming back to life! Old buildings still stand, but new art centres, fun activities, and popular places are bringing back their past glory. Here are four towns to visit this summer.
Scarborough, Yorkshire
Scarborough may be Britain’s first seaside spot for vacation. In the 1600s, people came for its health-giving springs. After years of downturn, it’s now improving thanks to new plans: hosting everything from poetry readings to rock music festivals, while still welcoming visitors to its top-rated beaches.
Margate, Kent
Every coastal town wants to attract visitors all year, and Margate does this best. When bad weather keeps people from the beach, there’s lots of indoor fun-like old-fashioned games and the Turner Contemporary art centre. But what really helps Margate grow is the strong community spirit, everyone working together.
Barmouth, Wales
On the way to famous North Wales spots like Snowdonia, don’t miss Barmouth! This hidden town sits where a river meets the sea, with mountains behind its beaches. Its slogan (口号) is “mountain, sand & sea” — just look at the sunset over the water with mountains in the distance. Many visitors love it so much that they decide to move here and become residents!
Penzance, Cornwall
Penzance has recovered slowly, not suddenly. Over the last 10 years, many new projects have helped the town. The main events are the 10-day Golowan festival, which features parades and shows, and the Montol winter celebration. Visitors can take a sleeper train (a train with beds) from London, or fly by helicopter to nearby Scilly Isles. The local food is also very popular!

There is no doubt that books have the power to change how people think about the world and the universe around them. These 3 astronomy books have had a significant impact on the way humans think about our place and purpose in the universe:
On the Heavens (about 350 BC) by Aristalle
Aristotle proposed a geocentric (以地球为中心的) model of the universe in the book. This work is significant as a master work of the Aristotelian worldview, a school of philosophy that dominated (支配) intellectual thinking for almost 2000 years.Eventually,almost everything in it was proven incorrect, but On the Heavens, which is still in print, provides a fascinating view of astronomical evolution.
The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres (1543) by Nicolaus Copernicus
In this book, Copernicus argued that the Sun rather than the Earth lies in the center of the universe. The Earth moves as a planet around the Sun. The most important advantage offered by Copernicus was a vision of the universe as an integrated system, where all the planets move together in elegant harmony.
The Mechanism of the Heavens (1831) by Mary Somerville
Different from his book Physical Geography, this book was embraced as an important contribution to the understanding of celestial motion (天体运动). It became extremely valuable to both astronomers and students and it was used as a textbook for more than half a century. The book went through many revisions, keeping pace with astronomical developments over time. It proves that given the opportunity, women could match the men in science step for step.
1. What can we learn about the book On the Heavens?
A. It is banned from printing.
B. It mainly focuses on philosophy.
C. It is used by many schools today.
D. It has proven almost completely wrong.

In 2024, Opportunity International ran a program for volunteers worldwide to share Al-based ideas and then develop them with support from companies like Microsoft and Amazon. The best ideas were selected, and their creators received funding to test the free-to-use apps in their communities, with the goal of reaching millions of people within two years.
FARM HELP
The app is designed to use personal data to give advice that fits each farmer’s needs — like what seeds to plant or how much fertilizer (肥料) to use and when — based on climate, the size of the land, and crop history. The app’s ability to understand climate patterns in real time is quite important, for farmers consider climate as the topmost problem. With AI, working with the different climate changes is achievable.
LESSON PLANNING
This app helps teachers develop lesson plans specifically for their own students’ needs. Its founder once taught in a country school in Ghana, and found that teachers had little training and lacked resources and knowledge about how to meet the needs of students of different ages and learning styles. This app allows teachers to input information about students’ learning styles, and then creates lesson plans for them.
SCHOOLADMINISTRATION
Another app helps school owners with aspects of school development, such as employing teachers, marketing, and behavioral management. The app is expected to be a partner in the pocket for school leaders, to give them real-time solutions and ideas. It is ready to be introduced in 20,000 schools, possibly reaching 6 million students.
1. What can FARM HELP help farmers with?
A. Storing seeds. B. Selling produce online.
C. Dealing with different weather. D. Preventing crop diseases.
2. Who is SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION designed for?
A. School leaders. B. Teachers. C. Students. D. Parents.
3. What do the three apps have in common?
A. They are offered to people for free.
B. They are made for less-developed areas.
C. They are created by big tech companies.
D. They are funded to start a global business.

(24-25学年高一下·山东淄博·期末)
Shared mobility (出行) could be a key part of a greener transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this. Here’s the breakdown of barriers to using bikeshares for different people.
Barriers to using bikeshares
Various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reaching underserved communities. On-demand shared mobility that feeds into well-developed public transportation systems could reduce the number of vehicles in some cities by 90 percent and cut transportation emissions (排放) by 50 percent — but only if it largely replaces private car use.
Subsidy (补贴) programs for low-income residents have shown promise in increasing the use of shared mobility while decreasing the use of personal vehicles.
E-Bike Library programs include maintaining the bikes, organizing training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety.
Mobitwin, a social transportation service for elderly people and those with reduced mobility, lets elderly people request a ride from a volunteer for a small fee.
Station-based systems where cars are picked up and dropped off at fixed locations can also make it easier for women to plan for their transportation needs.
“Being able to get out and about is a necessary part of participating in society, and reduced mobility goes hand in hand with social loneliness, ” says Esen Köse, a project manager at Mpact. “We want to make sure that people who are often not in the societal cycle of going to work or going to school, who are actually often left out, still have an option to get out of the house and do the simple daily things, like going to the store, going to the hairdresser and seeing families.”
1. In For man, what percentage of barriers does unfamiliarity account for?
A. 53%. B. 15%. C. 34%. D. 19%.
2. Which project is most suitable for a female photographer?
A. Subsidy programs. B. E-Bike Library programs.
C. Mobitwin. D. Station-based systems.
3. What is Esen Köse’s expectation regarding people with reduced mobility?
A. Aiding them to get jobs. B. Making them better educated.
C. Helping them get around. D. Letting them feel ignored.
