Passage 8 (23-24高二下·浙江宁波慈溪·期末) Poem A:I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth I knew not where; For so swiftly it flew the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth I knew not where; For who has the sight so keen and strong, That can follow the flight of a song? Long, long afterwards, in an oak, I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

People laugh and people cry, Some say hi while some bye, Some give up and some always try, Others may forget you but never will I. Poem C (excerpt):Two roads diverged in a yellow wood And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should even come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Librarian Eloise Stevens highlighted the financial burden textbooks place on students and the need for resources they might need.

Open Web Sources: Several open web platforms offer access to course materials, including the Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, and Hathi Trust Digital Library. These resources are particularly useful for materials published before 1929, which will no longer be protected by copyright (版权) in 2025, and for some more recent academic works.

But with a little inside knowledge, you can save your pounds and bag your skyline photos without the crowds through accessing the following viewpoints. Parliament Hill Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath—at 98m is one of London’s highest natural viewpoints. From here, on a clear day, you can sit on the park bench that featured in movies like Run Fatboy Run and Notes on a Scandal. Entry fee: free The Garden Museum Tower While you might be interested in British garden design, this 14th-Century tower is the main attraction for photographers. Climb the 131 steps of the narrow spiral staircase and you’ll emerge onto one of the finest riverside viewpoints in the city—with views across to the Palace of Westminster on the right. Entry fee: £4 The IFS Cloud Cable Car If you want to soar over London in a glass pod, the obvious place to go is the London Eye. But a cheaper and crowd-free alternative is to ride the IFS Cloud Cable Car. The views are impressive at any time, but the Cable Car stays open late, so you can even enjoy magnificent sunsets from the west-facing side or admire the twinkling city lights after dark. Entry fee: £6 one-way Seabird, Southwark London has no shortage of rooftop venues (场所) offering knockout cityscape views, so it can be hard to pick just one or two. But for location, angles and a great experience, it doesn’t get much better than Seabird, on the 14th floor of the Hoxton hotel in Southwark with nothing to block views on three sides. Entry fee: Buy a drink: draught beer costs £6.50 or a small glass of wine is £9; a portion of olives costs £5. 10．Which viewpoint provides the best opportunity to photograph the Palace of Westminster? A．Parliament Hill B．The Garden Museum Tower C．The IFS Cloud Cable Car D．Seabird 11. What can be inferred about Seabird compared to the IFS Cloud Cable Car? A．It offers a shorter ride experience B．It provides better night time views C．It’s more suitable for large groups D．It requires food consumption to enter 12．This text is most likely taken from ________. A．a city brochure B．a geography magazine C．a travel guidebook D．an architectural journal 【答案】10．B 11．D 12．C 【来源】浙江省温州市环大罗山联盟2024-2025学年高二下学期6月期末英语试题 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了伦敦几个可以欣赏城市天际线的景点，并提供了每个景点的特色、入场费用等相关信息，旨在为游客提供实用的旅游建议。 10．细节理解题。根据文章The Garden Museum Tower部分中的“Climb the 131 steps of the narrow spiral staircase and you’ll emerge onto one of the finest riverside viewpoints in the city—with views across to the Palace of Westminster on the right.(爬上131级狭窄的螺旋楼梯，你会来到伦敦最优美的河畔观景台之一，向右可眺望威斯敏斯特宫)”可知，爬上花园博物馆塔楼的楼梯后，能到达城市中最棒的河畔观景台之一，向右可眺望威斯敏斯特宫，这表明在此处可以拍摄到威斯敏斯特宫。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据文章Seabird, Southwark部分中的“Entry fee: Buy a drink: draught beer costs £6.50 or a small glass of wine is £9; a portion of olives costs £5.(入场费：点一杯饮品即可（生啤6.5英镑，一小杯葡萄酒9英镑，一份橄榄5英镑）)”以及The IFS Cloud Cable Car部分中的“Entry fee: £6 one-way(入场费：单程6英镑)”可知，Seabird需要购买饮品才能进入，而IFS Cloud Cable Car的入场费是单程6英镑，无需消费食物。由此可推断，Seabird相比IFS Cloud Cable Car需要消费食物才能进入。故选D。 12．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要介绍伦敦几处性价比高的观景地点，包括位置、特色、费用等实用信息，目的是为游客提供避开拥挤景点、节省开支的观景建议。这类内容符合旅行指南的典型特征。因此，本文最可能出自旅行指南。故选C。 Passage 5 (24-25高二下·浙江温州温州十校·期末) Tour 1 — 22 DAY FIVE STANS UNVEILED22 days per person Explore the heart of Central Asia on this glorious journey.

Poem C (excerpt):Two roads diverged in a yellow wood And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should even come back.

Most buildings built for the Games are left empty afterward. Here are four locations that have repurposed their Olympics structures for creative uses. Lake Placid, New York Most people entering the now remodeled 1980 Olympic Village in Lake Placid are in a lot of trouble. It no longer welcomes athletes but instead houses prisoners. This Olympic Village was built with a prison in mind, as planning a secondary purpose was the only way to get funding from the government. Los Angeles, California When the 1932 Olympics were held in Los Angeles, the Grand Olympic Auditorium hosted weightlifting, boxing and wrestling matches. Later it also hosted concerts. The venue was so well known around Hollywood that a documentary was made about it called “18th & Grand.” Today, it is home to a Korean church. Beijing, China Half of the National Aquatics Center, built for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, is now Asia’s largest waterpark with 13 waterslides, a lazy river, a wave pool and a spa. The second floor has a hall with 17,000 seats. There’s also a theater, several restaurants and bars and a museum of Olympic history. Helsinki, Finland Originally constructed in 1937, the Tennispalatsi was never used for Olympic tennis, but it did host basketball when the Games finally came to Helsinki in 1952. In 1957, the city bought the building. Now, the Tennispalatsi has the Helsinki City Art Museum, a movie theater and several restaurants. 4．What can we learn about the Olympic Village in Lake Placid? A．It was designed by the government. B．It was originally built to make profits. C．It was used to house athletes in trouble.

Librarian Eloise Stevens highlighted the financial burden textbooks place on students and the need for resources they might need. The event introduced three main options for accessing affordable course materials: Course Reserves: Materials placed on course reserve can be checked out for a short period, typically two hours. This system allows students in specific classes to borrow materials, but if materials aren’t registered, students may experience difficulties accessing them. Professors must refer (提交) physical materials to the library first. UR and Public Libraries: Students can search for additional materials in the DiscoverUR catalog. While some e-books in the UR Library have unlimited access, others have usage restrictions. Students can also use digital library cards for the New York Public Library and Monroe County Library, which offer e-books and audiobooks through Libby, providing another valuable resource for course materials. Open Web Sources: Several open web platforms offer access to course materials, including the Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, and Hathi Trust Digital Library. These resources are particularly useful for materials published before 1929, which will no longer be protected by copyright (版权) in 2025, and for some more recent academic works. Students can find a guide to these options on the library’s website and reach out to subject librarians for further assistance. 1．Why was the event “Find it For Free” started? A．To help students save money. B．To teach academic research skills. C．To advertise public library services.

Rounding out all that unspoiled nature are ancient castles, historic villages, and pubs alive with traditional music. Here’s the best way to experience this colorful corner of Europe. Rocky coves The southwest’s rocky coves are rich with seaweed, revealing a little-known piece of Irish history. “In the past people couldn’t eat meat so they would go down around these shores and get laver, or sleabhac, as it’s high in protein,” says Kerryann O’Farrell of Atlantic Irish Seaweed, whose guides lead educational sea vegetable walks at Derrynane Harbour. Cape Clear Island Located eight miles off the southern coast, Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chleire) is one of Irish-speaking Gaeltacht areas, which can be found in seven counties and on some islands. On Cape, the former girls school now houses the Heritage Centre with exhibits on the island’s maritime history and culture. Don’t miss the goat milk ice cream at local favorite Cléire Goats. The River Corrib While Shop Street and Eyre Square draw the crowds, the Western neighborhood across the River Corrib is the soul of the city. Soak up the bohemian vibe at places like Bell Book and Candle, a treasure trove for new and second-hand books; the monthly Flea Style Market inside the Galway Arts Centre; and the Crane Bar, which features some of the city’s best “trad” fiddle and bodhrán players. Great Lighthouses of Ireland Great Lighthouses of Ireland offers a guide to noteworthy beacons around the country. One of the most remote, St. John’s Point Lighthouse rises at the end of a narrow peninsula in County Donegal, looking out to Donegal Bay and County Sligo. Stay overnight in Clipper or Schooner, the former lighthouse keepers’ residences, and experience the solitude of keeping watch. Naturally, there’s no Wi-Fi, so unwind and read a book beside the fire, or explore the headland at sunrise. 1．What can’t you do in Cape Clear Island? A．Appreciate local language. B．Try the goat milk ice cream. C．Admire the island’s maritime history. D．Enjoy educational sea vegetable walks. 2．Which would be the best place for someone in need of an undisturbed place? A．Rocky coves. B．Cape Clear Island. C．The River Corrib. D．Great Lighthouses of Ireland. 3．The passage is most likely taken from ________. A．a news report B．an advertisement C．a travel brochure D．an encyclopedia 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 【来源】浙江省温州十校2023-2024学年高二下学期6月期末英语试题 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了爱尔兰几个绝佳的旅游胜地。 1．细节理解题。根据Cape Clear Island中“Located eight miles off the southern coast, Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chleire) is one of Irish-speaking Gaeltacht areas, which can be found in seven counties and on some islands. On Cape, the former girls school now houses the Heritage Centre with exhibits on the island’s maritime history and culture. Don’t miss the goat milk ice cream at local favorite Cléire Goats.”（开普克利尔岛(Oileán Chleire)位于南部海岸八英里外，是一个讲爱尔兰语的盖尔语地区，在七个县和一些岛屿上都可以看到。在开普，以前的女子学校现在是遗产中心的所在地，展示了岛上的海洋历史和文化。不要错过当地最受欢迎的Cléire山羊奶冰淇淋。）可知，在开普克利尔岛无法享受有教育意义的海洋蔬菜之旅。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据Great Lighthouses of Ireland中“Stay overnight in Clipper or Schooner, the former lighthouse keepers’ residences, and experience the solitude of keeping watch.

Rounding out all that unspoiled nature are ancient castles, historic villages, and pubs alive with traditional music.

The endorphins (内啡肽) are definitely pumping by the time you reach Juniper Bottom-maybe that’s how it got the nickname “Happy Valley”.
