When he came to New York to study photography five years ago，he found a rich collection of images of life in Africa，past and present，in the city's libraries，galleries and museums.Here he was thousands of miles from Ghana surrounded by more visual history of Africa than he had ever seen back home. That led to an idea: create a library of photobooks in Ghana，which allows people to learn about their own history and gives them the tools to tell new stories of the continent. This idea has been realized with the creation of the Dikan Center in Accra，Ghana's capital.Dikan means “take the lead” in the Akan language. To create the center，Ninson travelled around New York City for books to ship to Ghana.He searched secondhand stores on the Lower East Side，engaged in online bidding wars and reached out to publishers and galleries，some of whom donated hundreds of materials.He maxed out his credit cards and lined his apartment walls with books，using Uber and U-Haul trucks to transport the books to storage units he rented across the city. He managed to amass more than 30，000 volumes—mainly about photography filmmaking，but also issues of publications like National Geographic dating back to the early 1940s.Ninson had additional support from his friend and collaborator，Brandon Stanton，who started a GoFundMe that raised over $1.2 million for the founding of Dikan. In December 2022，the Dikan Center was opened.In a former residence that was renovated (翻新) to house the center，anyone is welcome to sit with the African story as long as they'd like. Michael Itkoff，a supporter of Ninson and the Dikan Center from the start，says photobooks offer a different visual experience in today's world，which is often focused on the volume and speed of images available online.“The photobook allows for an intimate and more slowed down—and I would say an elegant experience of visuals，” says Itkoff. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了加纳摄影记者Paul Ninson在纽约学习摄影时发现非洲视觉历史资料在纽约丰富但在加纳匮乏，从而产生在加纳创建Dikan Center(一个摄影图书图书馆)的想法，并详细介绍了他所付出的努力。 1．What is Ninson's purpose of creating the Dikan Center? A．To bring the African story home. B．To change people's attitude to Africa. C．To pursue his passion for photography. D．To create a sharing space for book-lovers. 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“That led to an idea...tell new stories of the continent.”可知，Ninson创建Dikan Center的目的是让加纳人能了解自己的历史，也就是把非洲的故事带回加纳本土。A选项符合题意。 答案　A 2．What does paragraph 5 mainly focus on? A．Ninson's good taste in books. B．The assistance Ninson has received. C．Efforts made in creating Dikan Center. D．Wide sources of books in Dikan Center. 解析　段落大意题。第五段详细描述了Ninson为收集书籍付出的艰辛努力：在二手店淘书、参与在线竞拍、联系出版商和画廊获取捐赠；刷爆信用卡、用Uber和卡车运输书籍、租用存储空间。这些内容集中展现了他为建立Dikan Center的具体行动和投入，而非单纯“书籍来源”(D项)或“他人帮助”(B项)。 答案　C 3．How would Itkoff describe the experience of reading photobooks? A．An ideal tool for art education. B．An escape from a fast-paced life. C．A dive into the richness of stories. D．A beautiful encounter with visuals. 解析　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The photobook allows for an intimate and more slowed down—and I would say an elegant experience of visuals”可知，他认为阅读摄影书籍是一种亲密、更慢节奏且优雅的视觉体验，也就是一种与视觉的美好邂逅。 答案　D 4．What is the text mainly about? A．The realization of a big dream. B．The influence of a social trend. C．The development of photobooks. D．The growth of a genius photographer. 解析　主旨大意题。文章主要围绕Ninson创建Dikan Center这一梦想展开，讲述了他产生这个想法的原因、为实现梦想所做的努力以及梦想最终实现的过程。A项“The realization of a big dream”符合文章主旨。 答案　A B (2025·江苏南通调研三)Next time you're walking through a park on a hot day，take a moment to sit under a big old tree.You'll find that the temperature is something like 2 ℃ cooler than if you were beneath an umbrella.Why? Because a mature tree releases a massive amount of water from its leaves，which cools the surrounding air，just like the way sweating cools our bodies down. So a single tree influences the microclimate around it—but what about an entire forest? That's the question explored in The Power of Trees by German forester Peter Wohlleben.He writes about trees，ecosystems，roots and the many creatures who live in and among them in a fresh，lively way.He believes forests and trees make decisions about their survival，protect and look after their young. For readers，some of this language is familiar，and some may know that this style has been a source of derision(嘲笑) in the past.However，it's this down-to-earth，conversational style that makes the book come to life and makes complex science accessible.He explains processes，such as the way trees access and use sugars at different times of the year，in simple，everyday terms. Wohlleben writes in a calm style，but he can't hide his anger with the way people today—including many environmentalists—now “think of trees as little more than biological storage units for carbon dioxide either while they are alive or when they are dead”．This narrow perspective ignores the vast beneficial effects that forests generate for global temperature management.His claims and criticisms are backed by emerging science and new research，as well as practical observations of how the presence of forests changes the landscape nearby. This book is wise and thought-provoking.In his chapter highlighting the role of wolves as top predators(捕食者) in preserving the forest，Wohlleben writes: “We can come at protecting forests from whatever direction we want，but the results are always the same.We must put less pressure on nature by exploiting(开发) it less.We must strengthen forests by allowing them to take care of themselves.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了德国护林员Peter Wohlleben的著作《树木的力量》。书中探讨了森林对微气候的影响、树木的生存智慧以及人类对森林的狭隘认知，并以通俗易懂的语言阐释了复杂的科学原理。 5．What does The Power of Trees explore? A．Temperature management. B．The loss of water in leaves. C．Formation of microclimates. D．The vital role that forests play. 解析　细节理解题。根据题干可定位至第二段。本段提出这样一个问题——一棵树会影响其周围的微气候，但一整片森林又会怎样呢？随后引出了Peter Wohlleben的作品《树木的力量》，指出该书探讨了这一问题。观察备选项可发现，只有D项与“森林”这一关键词有关。 答案　D 6．Which can describe the language in the book? A．Complex. B．Fancy. C．Approachable. D．Professional. 解析　细节理解题。第二段提到本书以鲜活的语言描述了树木、生态系统、根系以及许多生活在它们中间和周围的生物。第三段则进一步对其语言风格进行介绍——正是这种接地气的对话式风格让书生动起来，也使复杂的科学知识变得易于理解。由此可知，C项(易于理解的)正确。 答案　C 7．How does Wohlleben deal with people's narrow perspective on forests? A．He treats it lightly. B．He turns a deaf ear to it. C．He refers to it selectively. D．He argues against it convincingly. 解析　推理判断题。根据narrow perspective可定位至第四段。本段提到，Wohlleben对当今人们将树木仅视为二氧化碳的生物储存器这一观点持反对态度(his anger with...)，而且他的主张和批评得到了新兴科学研究和实地观察的支撑。由此可知，D项(他有理有据地反驳了这种狭隘的观点)符合文意。 答案　D 8．What does Wohlleben suggest for protecting forests? A．Fighting climate change. B．Leaving them alone. C．Returning farmland to forest. D．Driving wolves away. 解析　细节理解题。最后一段提到，Wohlleben认为，人们应当让森林自我调节，以增强它们的生命力。观察备选项可发现，只有B项(不要干涉)与原文意思一致。 答案　B Ⅱ.完形填空 (2025·江苏南京六校联合调研)Roger Bannister，born in Harrow，England，early showed a talent for running.University education was beyond the__9__ of his working-class parents，but he was __10__ to secure a place in one of England's top universities and pursue a career in __11__． Luckily，owing to his academic__12__，Bannister was awarded a scholarship by Oxford University，where his exceptional speed on the track soon earned him the attention and __13__ from the sports media.Surprisingly，he __14__ to compete in the 1948 Olympics in London，preferring to focus on his __15__ and his medical studies.By 1951，Bannister had won the British championship in the mile and felt __16__ for Olympic competition.Unfortunately，a last-minute change in the schedule __17__ him to compete without resting between events and he finished just fourth in the 1500-meter race at the 1952 Olympics.To break the four-minute mile barrier，Bannister，undertaking full-time medical studies，__18__ 45 minutes every day for training.On May 6，1954，at Oxford，his efforts __19__ paid off.At age 25，Bannister made history，crossing the finish line in 3：59.4.When the announcer read out the time: “3...”，the rest was __20__ by the cheering of the crowd.In the following famous “Mile of the Century” race，Bannister __21__ Australian runner John Landy with a time of 3：58.8 to Landy's 3：59.6，both under four minutes.In 1955，Bannister's autobiography，The First Four Minutes，came out.
