Here are four of them to feed your imagination. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson How did it all begin? And how did we get here? Combining history and science, the book offers a comprehensive yet entertaining answer to these questions. Bill Bryson takes the reader on an impressive journey through the greatest scientific discoveries in history. It explains scientific topics in a vivid way, but it’s quite a long read. Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe How do helicopters work? Or cells? Randall Munroe explains how things work using illustrations and only the most common 1,000 words in English. It will shift your approach to explanation. So, next time explain how something works rather than merely call it by its name. However, additionally providing more technical terms might have enhanced the understanding and learning experience. Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake What does it feel like to fly into space? How do you prepare for it? Astronaut Tim Peake answers all the questions you never knew about going into space. The book gives insights into the cutting-edge science, as well as the day-to-day life on board of the International Space Station. Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers, but it can become less appealing due to the lack of descriptive language. Deep Time by Riley Black Want to know the story of our planet? Riley Black takes us on a journey, in the order of time, through the geological (地质的) events that have shaped our planet. The fascinating high-quality images are supported by easily digestible explanations of key historical moments. It also expands on key concepts in geology, astronomy and biology. Yet, measuring the size of some objects on the photos is difficult due to the lack of a scale bar (比例尺). 1．Which book is organized in the format of question and answer? A．A Short History of Nearly Everything. B．Thing Explainer. C．Ask an Astronaut. D．Deep Time. 2．What’s a shortcoming of Thing Explainer? A．It is rather too long. B．It is written in plain language. C．It lacks technical terms. D．It fails to include clear images. 3．What do A Short History of Nearly Everything and Deep Time have in common? A．They combine science and history. B．They feature vivid illustrations. C．They introduce astronauts’ daily life. D．They entertain readers of all ages. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·江苏镇江·期末） You can air fry almost anything. But, there are foods that just shouldn’t be seen near an air fryer. Before cooking with your air fryer, see which foods won’t work — even though they may be tempting to throw in there.Fresh greens Leafy greens, like spinach, will cook unevenly and are very likely to burn due to the air fryer’s high-speed air. When choosing vegetables to cook in the air fryer, make sure they hold some weight, like broccoli or zucchini. Kale chips may also be successful if coated in enough oil to weigh them down.Whole roasts The apparent issue with whole roasts is whether or not it will even fit properly into an air fryer basket, but even if it does fit, it’s best to just stick to the regular oven. The roast will not cook evenly, with the part closest to the heat source likely to burn by the time the part furthest away is safe to eat. The problem comes down to overcrowding.Cheese Who wouldn’t love to instantly make some fried cheese to snack on? Since the air fryer isn’t truly “frying” the food, placing cheese in it without some sort of coating will just melt the cheese into a puddle and create a mess you don’t want to clean up.Battered foods Unless the food is pre-fried and frozen, you’ll want to avoid placing wet batter in the air fryer. Aside from the obvious mess it will create, wet batter won’t set the way it does when it’s submerged in oil, meaning the food won’t have that crunchy shell. 1．Why is it not recommended to cook fresh leafy greens like spinach in an air fryer? A．They don’t hold enough weight. B．They cook unevenly and burn easily. C．They aren’t coated in oil to weigh them down. D．They require much preparation time to be successful. 2．What is the main problem with cooking whole roasts in an air fryer? A．The size of them makes them hard to fit. B．The skin of them usually becomes too dry. C．No proper circulation of hot air causes uneven cooking. D．It takes much longer to cook them than in a regular oven. 3．What do cheese and battered foods have in common when using an air fryer? A．They must be coated for preparation. B．They should be frozen before cooking. C．They can be cooked directly without issues. D．They’ll cause problems without proper handling. 主题02 人与社会——广告/布告 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·江苏连云港·期末） Exhibitions in and around New York This WeekJohn Singer Sargent, “Sargent and Paris’” ‒The Metropolitan Museum of Art The Met is hosting the largest international exhibition of John Singer Sargent’s works since the early 2000s, featuring nearly 100 pieces to mark the 100th anniversary of the artist’s death.

Passage 5 （24-25高二下·江苏宿迁·期末） Best Websites for Booking Cheap Flights When it comes to booking flights, travelers may naturally head to an airline’s website. However, that’s not always the best choice. The best flight booking site can vary depending on your situation.Google Flights For ease, speed and features, Google Flights is arguably the best website for flight searches. Search results appear almost immediately. Filters (过滤器) let you narrow down to nonstop choices, and limit by price or factor in the price of a bag. One downside is that it doesn’t always show the cheapest prices.Kayak Perhaps the most important reason to use Kayak instead of Google Flights is that it can catch better deals. For example, we found a $550 round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Barcelona using Google Flights. Kayak found a way to lower that price to just $472.Capital One Travel If you are a Capital One cardholder, Capital One Travel might just be the best choice as you can get up to $300 off travel booked through the Capital One Travel portal each cardholder year. Also, you’ll get up to a $50 credit toward future travel if the price drops within the next 10 days.Kiwi Are you willing to book a trip as two separate tickets in order to save money? That’s the idea behind Kiwi. It could mean taking a bus or train from your home city to another to catch a flight to your destination. But if a delay or cancellation causes you to miss your connection, the second airline/bus/train company won’t honor your ticket. 1．What is a disadvantage of Google Flights? A．It filters nonstop flights. B．It shows limited search results. C．It does not show the price of a bag. D．It may not present the cheapest choices. 2．Which of the following offers credit card rewards? A．Google Flights. B．Kayak. C．Capital One Travel. D．Kiwi. 3．Where is the text probably from? A．An airline’s website. B．A finance journal. C．A business magazine. D．A flight booking guide.

Best Times to Visit Toronto for Lower Prices On a budget? The best time to visit Toronto for lower prices is from December to February.

Here are four of them to feed your imagination. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson How did it all begin? And how did we get here? Combining history and science, the book offers a comprehensive yet entertaining answer to these questions. Bill Bryson takes the reader on an impressive journey through the greatest scientific discoveries in history. It explains scientific topics in a vivid way, but it’s quite a long read. Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe How do helicopters work? Or cells? Randall Munroe explains how things work using illustrations and only the most common 1,000 words in English. It will shift your approach to explanation. So, next time explain how something works rather than merely call it by its name. However, additionally providing more technical terms might have enhanced the understanding and learning experience. Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake What does it feel like to fly into space? How do you prepare for it? Astronaut Tim Peake answers all the questions you never knew about going into space. The book gives insights into the cutting-edge science, as well as the day-to-day life on board of the International Space Station. Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers, but it can become less appealing due to the lack of descriptive language. Deep Time by Riley Black Want to know the story of our planet? Riley Black takes us on a journey, in the order of time, through the geological (地质的) events that have shaped our planet. The fascinating high-quality images are supported by easily digestible explanations of key historical moments. It also expands on key concepts in geology, astronomy and biology. Yet, measuring the size of some objects on the photos is difficult due to the lack of a scale bar (比例尺). 1．Which book is organized in the format of question and answer? A．A Short History of Nearly Everything. B．Thing Explainer. C．Ask an Astronaut. D．Deep Time. 2．What’s a shortcoming of Thing Explainer? A．It is rather too long. B．It is written in plain language. C．It lacks technical terms. D．It fails to include clear images. 3．What do A Short History of Nearly Everything and Deep Time have in common? A．They combine science and history. B．They feature vivid illustrations. C．They introduce astronauts’ daily life. D．They entertain readers of all ages. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。介绍了四本能激发好奇心的科学书籍，分别介绍了每本书的内容、特色及优缺点。 1．细节理解题。根据Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake部分“Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers (它的问答形式让人们可以轻松快速地找到答案)”可知，Ask an Astronaut是用问答形式组织内容的。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe部分“However, additionally providing more technical terms might have enhanced the understanding and learning experience. (不过，如果能补充更多专业术语，可能会提升理解和学习体验)”可知，Thing Explainer的缺点是缺少专业术语。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson部分“Combining history and science, the book offers a comprehensive yet entertaining answer to these questions. (这本书结合了历史与科学，为这些问题提供了全面又有趣的答案)”以及Deep Time by Riley Black“through the geological events that have shaped our planet (通过塑造了地球的地质事件)”、“It also expands on key concepts in geology, astronomy and biology. (它还拓展了地质学、天文学和生物学的核心概念)”可知，这两本书的共同点是结合了科学与历史。故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·江苏镇江·期末） You can air fry almost anything. But, there are foods that just shouldn’t be seen near an air fryer. Before cooking with your air fryer, see which foods won’t work — even though they may be tempting to throw in there.Fresh greens Leafy greens, like spinach, will cook unevenly and are very likely to burn due to the air fryer’s high-speed air. When choosing vegetables to cook in the air fryer, make sure they hold some weight, like broccoli or zucchini. Kale chips may also be successful if coated in enough oil to weigh them down.Whole roasts The apparent issue with whole roasts is whether or not it will even fit properly into an air fryer basket, but even if it does fit, it’s best to just stick to the regular oven. The roast will not cook evenly, with the part closest to the heat source likely to burn by the time the part furthest away is safe to eat. The problem comes down to overcrowding.Cheese Who wouldn’t love to instantly make some fried cheese to snack on? Since the air fryer isn’t truly “frying” the food, placing cheese in it without some sort of coating will just melt the cheese into a puddle and create a mess you don’t want to clean up.Battered foods Unless the food is pre-fried and frozen, you’ll want to avoid placing wet batter in the air fryer. Aside from the obvious mess it will create, wet batter won’t set the way it does when it’s submerged in oil, meaning the food won’t have that crunchy shell. 1．Why is it not recommended to cook fresh leafy greens like spinach in an air fryer? A．They don’t hold enough weight. B．They cook unevenly and burn easily. C．They aren’t coated in oil to weigh them down. D．They require much preparation time to be successful. 2．What is the main problem with cooking whole roasts in an air fryer? A．The size of them makes them hard to fit. B．The skin of them usually becomes too dry. C．No proper circulation of hot air causes uneven cooking. D．It takes much longer to cook them than in a regular oven. 3．What do cheese and battered foods have in common when using an air fryer? A．They must be coated for preparation. B．They should be frozen before cooking. C．They can be cooked directly without issues. D．They’ll cause problems without proper handling. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了不宜用空气炸锅烹饪的几类食物及其原因，如新鲜绿叶菜、整块烤肉、奶酪和挂糊食物。 1．细节理解题。根据Fresh greens标题下“Leafy greens, like spinach, will cook unevenly and are very likely to burn due to the air fryer’s high-speed air.(像菠菜这样的绿叶蔬菜，由于空气炸锅的高速空气，会烹饪不均匀，而且很容易烧焦)”可知，不建议在空气炸锅里烹饪新鲜绿叶蔬菜如菠菜是因为它们烹饪不均匀且容易烧焦。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据Whole roasts标题下“The roast will not cook evenly, with the part closest to the heat source likely to burn by the time the part furthest away is safe to eat. The problem comes down to overcrowding.(烤肉会烹饪不均匀，当离热源最远的部分可以安全食用时，离热源最近的部分很可能已经烧焦了。问题在于过于拥挤)”可知，用空气炸锅烹饪整块烤肉的主要问题是热空气循环不畅导致烹饪不均匀。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据Cheese标题下“placing cheese in it without some sort of coating will just melt the cheese into a puddle and create a mess you don’t want to clean up.(把奶酪放进去，如果没有某种涂层，奶酪就会融化成一滩，弄得一团糟，你不想清理)”和Battered foods标题下“Aside from the obvious mess it will create, wet batter won’t set the way it does when it’s submerged in oil(除了会造成明显的混乱外，湿面糊不会像浸在油里那样凝固)”可知，奶酪和面糊类食物在使用空气炸锅时的共同点是，如果处理不当会产生问题。故选D。 主题02 人与社会——广告/布告 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·江苏连云港·期末） Exhibitions in and around New York This WeekJohn Singer Sargent, “Sargent and Paris’” ‒The Metropolitan Museum of Art The Met is hosting the largest international exhibition of John Singer Sargent’s works since the early 2000s, featuring nearly 100 pieces to mark the 100th anniversary of the artist’s death.

The best flight booking site can vary depending on your situation.Google Flights For ease, speed and features, Google Flights is arguably the best website for flight searches. Search results appear almost immediately. Filters (过滤器) let you narrow down to nonstop choices, and limit by price or factor in the price of a bag. One downside is that it doesn’t always show the cheapest prices.Kayak Perhaps the most important reason to use Kayak instead of Google Flights is that it can catch better deals. For example, we found a $550 round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Barcelona using Google Flights. Kayak found a way to lower that price to just $472.Capital One Travel If you are a Capital One cardholder, Capital One Travel might just be the best choice as you can get up to $300 off travel booked through the Capital One Travel portal each cardholder year. Also, you’ll get up to a $50 credit toward future travel if the price drops within the next 10 days.Kiwi Are you willing to book a trip as two separate tickets in order to save money? That’s the idea behind Kiwi. It could mean taking a bus or train from your home city to another to catch a flight to your destination. But if a delay or cancellation causes you to miss your connection, the second airline/bus/train company won’t honor your ticket. 1．What is a disadvantage of Google Flights? A．It filters nonstop flights. B．It shows limited search results. C．It does not show the price of a bag. D．It may not present the cheapest choices. 2．Which of the following offers credit card rewards? A．Google Flights. B．Kayak. C．Capital One Travel. D．Kiwi. 3．Where is the text probably from? A．An airline’s website. B．A finance journal. C．A business magazine. D．A flight booking guide. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍几个预订便宜机票的最佳网站及其特点。 1．细节理解题。根据Google Flights部分中“One downside is that it doesn’t always show the cheapest prices. (一个缺点是它并不总是显示最便宜的价格。)”可知，Google Flights的缺点是可能不提供最便宜的选择。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据Capital One Travel部分中“Also, you’ll get up to a $50 credit toward future travel if the price drops within the next 10 days. (此外，如果未来10天内价格下跌，您还可获得最高50美元的未来旅行信用额度。)”可知，提供信用卡奖励的是Capital One Travel。故选C。 3．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章标题“Best Websites for Booking Cheap Flights (预订廉价航班的最佳网站)”可知，文章围绕预订便宜机票的最佳网站展开，来自于航班预订指南。故选D。 Passage 6 （24-25高二下·江苏扬州·期末） CES is produced by the Consumer Technology Association known as the place where many companies launch their latest technology offerings. Here is a look at some of the top products presented at CES 2022. All-in-one communication Technology company Anker announced the launch of an “all-in-one” device designed to improve communications for employees working from home.

But it combines several elements of communication into one device that includes a camera, speaker, microphone and a light. AirSelfie camera Electronics maker AirSelfie launched its latest self-flying camera designed to take “selfie” pictures. The new device, called Air Pix, is a small, light camera that flies through the air and captures high-quality photographs and video. Air Pix can fly, frame and take pictures all by itself before landing back on the user’s hand. Labrador’s assistive robot Robot maker Labrador announced its Retriever robot designed to hold things and, as its name suggests, also retrieve (恢复) things. The robot can be controlled by voice commands or from an app on a phone. It can also be programmed based on an exact map of a users home.The Retriever is designed “ to serve as an extra pair of hands and lighten the load of everyday tasks in the home ”. Self-driving tractor American-based farm equipment manufacturer John Deere presented a fully self-driving tractor equipped with six different cameras and a series of sensors to guide the tractor through the fields. Farmers can control the vehicle and see the tractor’s progress in real-time through a mobile device which is to help farmers do more work with less equipment and people. The company noted that such machines can help improve farming methods as the world’s population grows and food demand is expected to rise 50 percent by 2050. 1．Which operator’s product will teleworking staff be most interested in?

The robot can be controlled by voice commands or from an app on a phone. It can also be programmed based on an exact map of a users home.The Retriever is designed “ to serve as an extra pair of hands and lighten the load of everyday tasks in the home ”.(机器人制造商Labrador宣布了其Retriever机器人，该机器人设计用于携带物品，顾名思义，还可以找回物品。这款机器人可以通过语音命令或手机上的应用程序进行控制。它还可以根据用户家庭的具体地图进行编程。Retriever的设计目的是“作为额外的一双手，减轻家庭日常任务的负担”)”可知，Retriever机器人可以帮助行动不便的老年人完成日常任务，因此最能有效帮助行动困难的老年人。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段Self-driving tractor部分的“The company noted that such machines can help improve farming methods as the world’s population grows and food demand is expected to rise 50 percent by 2050.(该公司指出，这样的机器有助于改善农业方法，因为随着全球人口的增长，预计到2050年食品需求将增加50%)”可知，自驾驶拖拉机能够提高农业效率，减少对设备和人力的需求，从而促进农业改革。故选B。 主题03 人与社会——旅游观光 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·江苏盐城·期末） Southeast Asia Backpacking Tour Explore the best of Southeast Asia on one of our exciting budget tours Enjoy Thailand, Lao, Vietnam and Cambodia as experienced guides will lead you on an adventure.

With the help of concierges (员工) at the top luxury hotels in the city, we’ve broken down the best times to visit Toronto for great weather, outdoor adventure, fewer crowds, and more.

It’s a nice time to visit as there’s still unique Canadian-focused programming like the Maple Festival near the waterfront,” says Ronaldo Breton, chef concierge at The Hazelton Hotel. Because the seasons for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors extend into the spring, sports fans might even be able to catch a game while in town. Best Times to Visit Toronto for Good Weather To enjoy pleasant weather without the peak-season crowds, visit during early or late summer. According to Harry Hollywood, chef concierge at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, the best months for beautiful weather are June and September, which tend to be mild and pleasant for walking around. Those are also great times for taking advantage of outdoor dining and joining in the seasonal festivities, whether that’s Toronto’s International Jazz Festival in late June or the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in early September. Best Times to Visit Toronto for Lower Prices On a budget? The best time to visit Toronto for lower prices is from December to February.

Because the seasons for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors extend into the spring, sports fans might even be able to catch a game while in town.(“在三月春假期间，人群往往会稍显稀少，因为许多家庭会外出度假，这种情况一直持续到四月。这是一个不错的游览时间，因为仍有独具加拿大特色的活动，比如滨水区附近的枫糖节。”黑兹尔顿酒店的首席礼宾员Ronaldo Breton说道。由于多伦多枫叶队和多伦多猛龙队的赛季会延续到春季，体育迷们甚至有可能在到访这座城市时观看一场比赛)”可知，三月春假到四月期间，人群相对较少，且多伦多枫叶队和多伦多猛龙队的赛季会延续到春季，所以体育迷有可能在这个时间段观看比赛。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“On a budget?

The main draw is its programme of spoken-word performances, most of which take place in its 100-seat basement theatre. The storytelling doesn’t just happen on stage, though.

Their rich historical context has led to their recognition by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. The Old Town of Lijiang The Old Town of Lijiang in Yunnan, China, established in the 13th century, is home to the minority group — Nakhi People. The small town in southwestern China still maintains its historical landscape. Its complex, ancient water-supply system is still functioning today. Vlkolínec Vlkolínec is a village that settles under the administration of Ruiomberok in Slovakia. It maintains more than 40 unaltered buildings from 1376. The village still hosts traditional log houses that were once popular, as well as the strip-shape characteristic of medieval (中世纪的) land share. Old Town of Tallinn Old Town of Tallinn dates back to the 13th century. It stands today as a preserved Medieval northern European trading city on the coast of the Baltic Sea. Its narrow, winding streets still mostly keep their Medieval names, and the town wall, Town Hall, pharmacy and churches remain in close to their original condition. The Yangdong Village The Yangdong Village is located in Gyeongju, South Korea. It hosts over 150 tiled-roofed and thatched-roofed homes built throughout the surrounding thick forest. There are 54 historic homes that are over 200 years old. The area’s landscape, sheltered by forested mountains was celebrated by 17th and 18th century poets for its beauty. 1．What made the places World Heritage Sites? A．Architecture features. B．Rapid modernization. C．Historical context. D．Fascinating landscape. 2．What do Vlkolínec and Tallinn have in common? A．They share medieval characteristics. B．They are both coastal villages. C．They were made of the same materials. D．They were important trading cities. 3．Which of the four sites is the youngest? A． Vlkolínec. B．The Old Town of Lijiang. C．Old Town of Tallinn. D．The Yangdong Village. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个被联合国教科文组织定为世界遗产保护区的村庄和小镇。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Their rich historical context has led to their recognition by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.(它们丰富的历史背景使它们被联合国教科文组织确认为世界遗产保护区)”可知，这些地方的历史背景使其成为世界遗产保护区。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据Vlkolínec下面的“The village still hosts traditional log houses that were once popular, as well as the strip-shape characteristic of medieval (中世纪的) land share.(这个村庄仍然拥有曾经很受欢迎的传统木屋，以及中世纪土地共享的条形特征)”和Old Town of Tallinn下面的“It stands today as a preserved Medieval northern European trading city on the coast of the Baltic Sea. Its narrow, winding streets still mostly keep their Medieval names, and the town wall, Town Hall, pharmacy and churches remain in close to their original condition.(今天，它是一座保存完好的中世纪北欧贸易城市，位于波罗的海沿岸。其狭窄蜿蜒的街道大多仍保留着中世纪的名字，城墙、市政厅、药店和教堂仍保持着原始状态)”可知，弗尔科利内茨（Vlkolínec）和塔林老城（Old Town of Tallinn）的共同点是：两地均有中世纪的特色。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据The Old Town of Lijiang下面的“The Old Town of Lijiang in Yunnan, China, established in the 13th century, is home to the minority group — Nakhi People.(中国云南丽江古城始建于13世纪，是少数民族纳西族的家园)”可知，丽江古城建于13世纪；根据Vlkolínec下面的“It maintains more than 40 unaltered buildings from 1376.(它保留了从1376年起的40多座未经改动的建筑)”可推知，弗尔科利内茨的历史应该始于1376之前；根据Old Town of Tallinn下面的“Old Town of Tallinn dates back to the 13th century.(塔林老城可以追溯到13世纪)”可知，塔林老城建于13世纪；根据The Yangdong Village下面的“The area’s landscape, sheltered by forested mountains was celebrated by 17th and 18th century poets for its beauty.(该地区的风景被森林覆盖的山脉遮蔽，因其美丽而受到17世纪和18世纪诗人的赞美)”可推知，良洞村大约建于17世纪。由此推知，在这四个地方中，良洞村是最年轻的地方。故选D。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
