Passage 1
(25-26高二上·福建福州·期末)Banff National Park is Canada’s firstborn national park and was recognized in 1885. Located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Banff includes 6,641 square kilometers of glaciers and ice fields, thick forests, and alpine (高山的) scenery. The Icefields Park-way spreads from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbors to the west while Kootenay National Park is situated to the south. The main commercial center of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was contributory in Banff’s early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise hotel in the park and attracting tourists through widespread advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by prisoners of World War I, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. As Banff has over three million visitors annually, the health of its ecology has been endangered. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada launched a two-year study to preserve ecological integrity.
Banff National Park has a subarctic climate with three ecoregions. The forests feature pine trees at lower heights and Engelmann spruce at higher ones below the tree line, above which are chiefly rocks and ice. Mammal species such as the grizzly bear, cougar, wolverine, moose and bighorn sheep are found along with hundreds of bird species. Reptiles (爬行动物) are also found but only a restricted number of species have been recorded.
The mountains were formed from sedimentary rocks (沉积岩) which were pushed east over newer rock formations, between 80 and 55 million years ago. Over the previous few million years, glaciers have at times covered most of the park, but today are found only on the mountainsides though they include the Columbia Icefield, the largest continuous glacial mass in the Rockies. Being washed and crashed by water and ice has molded the mountains into their current appearance.

Passage 2
(2025·四川资阳·一模)Corktown Common Park is a beautiful urban oasis in Toronto’s West Don Lands district. It features a wildlife-filled marsh, sport fields, playgrounds, and plenty of space for picnics or barbecues. However, the park’s most impressive function is invisible: it’s designed to protect nearby neighborhoods from flooding. The landscape architects team worked with engineering firm Arup to create a park that looks natural but functions like a dyke (堤坝).
Twenty years ago, the West Don Lands area was mostly unused. It was once home to brick-making companies and taxi garages but had been abandoned for years. Emily Mueller, an associate principal of the firm, explains that Toronto struggled to develop the area due to its high flood risk, as it’s close to both a lake and a river.
In recent years, the district has seen significant development, with new office buildings and residential towers. Like many cities, Toronto is working to protect its neighborhoods from more frequent floods caused by climate change.
Corktown Common was built on a floodplain, so the team raised the land’s elevation (海拔) by nearly nine meters to create a natural barrier against rising water. Mueller explains that the goal was to combine the park with its facilities, making it feel like a welcoming green space rather than just a flood barrier. To achieve this, the firm added six meters of rolling hills and playgrounds on top of the infrastructure (基础设施).
The park is divided into wet and dry sides. Rainwater on the dry side is collected through underground pipes and stored in a large tank for irrigation. This system also reduces pressure on the Don River by slowing the flow of water into Lake Ontario.
1. What is the primary function of Corktown Common Park?
A.To attract foreign tourists. B.To replace factories.
C.To protect local communities. D.To provide housing.
2. What caused the West Don Lands area to face high flood risk?
A.Its wet climate. B.Its poor transportation.
C.Its industrial destruction. D.Its unfavorable location.
3. Why did the team add rolling hills and playgrounds on top of the barrier?
A.To provide more space for sports and recreation.
B.To make the barrier look and feel like a friendly park.
C.To increase the height of the barrier against extreme floods.
D.To reduce the cost of maintaining the flood-control facilities.
4. Which is a benefit of the water system in the park?
A.To boost wildlife. B.To help with irrigation. C.To clean lake water. D.To generate electricity.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 4. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Corktown Common Park的防洪功能及设计特点。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, the park’s most impressive function is invisible: it’s designed to protect nearby neighborhoods from flooding.(然而,这个公园最令人印象深刻的功能是看不见的:它是为了保护附近的社区免受洪水侵袭而设计的)”可知,Corktown Common Park的主要功能是保护当地社区免受洪水侵袭。故选C。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Emily Mueller, an associate principal of the firm, explains that Toronto struggled to develop the area due to its high flood risk, as it’s close to both a lake and a river.(该公司副总监Emily Mueller解释说,多伦多努力开发该地区,但由于其洪水风险高,因为该地区靠近湖泊和河流)”可知,West Don Lands地区面临高洪水风险的原因是其不利的地理位置,靠近湖泊和河流。故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Mueller explains that the goal was to combine the park with its facilities, making it feel like a welcoming green space rather than just a flood barrier. To achieve this, the firm added six meters of rolling hills and playgrounds on top of the infrastructure.(Mueller解释说,目标是把公园和它的设施结合起来,让它感觉像一个受欢迎的绿色空间,而不仅仅是一个防洪屏障。为了实现这一目标,该公司在基础设施上增加了六米的起伏山丘和游乐场)”可知,团队在屏障顶部增加起伏山丘和游乐场是为了让屏障看起来和感觉像一个友好的公园。故选B。
4. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Rainwater on the dry side is collected through underground pipes and stored in a large tank for irrigation.(干燥一侧的雨水通过地下管道收集,并储存在一个大水箱中用于灌溉)”可知,公园中的水系统的一个好处是有助于灌溉。故选B。
Passage 3
(2025·浙江·高考真题)A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.
The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds.
Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads.
It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth.
The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.
1. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Running out of. B.Keeping away from.
C.Putting up with. D.Taking advantage of.
2. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced?
A.To control weeds in large gardens. B.To bring in foreign species of plants.
C.To conserve soil and water resources. D.To develop low-maintenance parkland.
3. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens?
A.Traditional. B.Odd-looking.
C.Tasteful. D.Well-protected.
4. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The future of gardening is WILD. B.Nature treats all lives as EQUALS.
C.Matrix gardens need more CARE. D.Old garden plots work WONDERS.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型园艺设计方法——矩阵种植。
【详解】1. 词句猜测题。根据上文“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作,甚至承担一些设计工作)”可知,矩阵种植是让大自然自身承接更多的工作;结合常识和划线词所在句“Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(Eschewing化肥和电动工具,它基于一个极其简单的原则:更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”中“to garden more like nature does”可推知,要像大自然那样进行园艺种植,让大自然自身承接更多的工作,就不需要使用化肥和电动工具。所以划线词“Eschewing”的意思是“避开、远离”,与“Keeping away from.”同义。故选B项。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance.(这个概念诞生于二战后,当时德国城市规划者试图以一种可复制且需要最少维护的方式种植大片公园绿地)”可知,引入矩阵种植的想法是为了开发低维护成本的公园绿地。故选D项。
3. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four season interest and serving the needs of wildlife.(荷兰植物学家兼设计师Piet Oudolf的花园推广了这种风格,在种植组合中增添了艺术气息,同时玩转色彩和形态,四季都有看点,还满足了野生动物的需求)”可知,Piet Oudolf的花园有艺术气息,很有品味。故选C项。
4. 主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作,甚至承担一些设计工作。它避开化肥和电动工具,基于一个极其简单的原则:更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”和最后一段中“With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.(随着人类投入的大幅减少,花园的生态系统可以良好发展。成熟的矩阵花园不需要我们给予大多数花园的维持手段:化肥、分株、定期浇水。与传统花园地块相比,它们增加了碳吸收,减少了雨水径流,并显著改善了栖息地和生物多样性)”可知,文章主要介绍了矩阵种植这种新型园艺设计方法,它让花园更接近自然、野生的状态,未来园艺可能会朝着这种更自然、野生的方向发展。故A项“The future of gardening is WILD(园艺的未来是自然的)”能概括文章主旨,适合做文章标题。故选A项。
Passage 4
(24-25高二上·福建莆田·开学考试)When a new product totally fails, companies typically try to move on as quickly as possible and put all of their energies into developing fresh ideas that they hope will catch on.
But the Museum of Failure never forgets. This traveling exhibition (展览), which was first launched in Sweden in 2017, arrived in New York City in 2023. It is designed by Samuel West, a psychologist who specializes in organizational science.
He hopes it will help normalize the concept of failure, which he sees as a good learning opportunity. “My research is focused on helping organizations to be more innovative,” says West. “And one of the big difficulties in innovation is the fear of failure.”
Indeed, many companies are unwilling to show their failures to the world. When West first began putting together the exhibition, he had to find the failed products on eBay and Craigslist because “nobody wanted to have anything to do with this.”
However, in this traveling exhibition, when people see big well-known brands (品牌) and companies that have extreme amounts of money and experience still fail when trying new things, they may say, “As ‘big boys’ can fail, why can’t we?” People then try something new, accept the level of risk that comes with it and learn from it if the new thing fails.
West hopes to stress that failure usually isn’t as bad or scary as many imagine. “You fail, but you can reflect, build on your new thoughts, try a different method and come back again with something better. Simply trying again and again without adapting is not enough,” he adds.
In fact, many well-known brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven’t let one or two failures stand in their way. Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors; though Crystal Pepsi failed, PepsiCo is still popular among customers. Other notable examples of serious failures include Bic for Her pens, Colgate’s frozen dinner, and a “hula chair” for exercise.
1. What does Samuel West intend to do by putting on the exhibition?
A.To create a fun viewing experience.
B.To collect comments on failed products.
C.To tell the stories of unsuccessful businessmen.
D.To encourage people to accept and learn from failure.
2. How will people most likely feel while visiting the traveling exhibition?
A.Scared and puzzled. B.Surprised and curious.
C.Relaxed and inspired. D.Discouraged and worried.
3. Why does the author mention some famous brands in the last paragraph?
A.To show failure can lead to creativity and success.
B.To explain companies are careful with new designs.
C.To prove popular inventions are based on real needs.
D.To stress famous brands are more likely to take risks.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A.A special exhibition that celebrates failures
B.The public attitude to the Museum of Failure
C.A unique way for companies to get over failures
D.The business advice from some well-known brands
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. A
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了“失败博物馆”以及创办人Samuel West希望通过展览来让人们正视失败并从中学习的理念。
1. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He hopes it will help normalize the concept of failure, which he sees as a good learning opportunity.(他希望这将有助于使失败的概念正常化,他认为这是一个很好的学习机会)”可知,Samuel West举办这个展览是为了鼓励人们接受并从失败中学习。故选D项。
2. 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“However, in this traveling exhibition, when people see big well-known brands (品牌) and companies that have extreme amounts of money and experience still fail when trying new things, they may say, “As ‘big boys’ can fail, why can’t we?” People then try something new, accept the level of risk that comes with it and learn from it if the new thing fails.(然而,在这次巡回展览中,当人们看到那些拥有大量资金和经验的知名大品牌和公司在尝试新事物时仍然失败时,他们可能会说:“既然‘大男孩’可以失败,为什么我们不能呢?”然后,人们尝试新事物,接受随之而来的风险,并在新事物失败时从中吸取教训)”可知,参观这个展览的人们会感到放松和受到启发。故选C项。
3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In fact, many well-known brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven’t let one or two failures stand in their way. Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors; though Crystal Pepsi failed, PepsiCo is still popular among customers. Other notable examples of serious failures include Bic for Her pens, Colgate’s frozen dinner, and a “hula chair” for exercise.(事实上,许多入选失败博物馆的知名品牌并没有让一两次失败阻碍他们前进的道路。奥利奥推出了许多美味的新口味;虽然水晶百事失败了,但百事公司仍然受到顾客的欢迎。其他值得注意的严重失败的例子包括Bic for Her钢笔,高露洁的冷冻晚餐,以及用于锻炼的“呼啦椅”)”可知,作者提到一些著名品牌是为了表明失败可以导致创造力和成功。故选A项。
4. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“But the Museum of Failure never forgets. This traveling exhibition (展览), which was first launched in Sweden in 2017, arrived in New York City in 2023. It is designed by Samuel West, a psychologist who specializes in organizational science.(但失败博物馆永远不会忘记。这个巡回展览于2017年首次在瑞典推出,于2023年抵达纽约。它是由专门研究组织科学的心理学家Samuel West设计的)”以及通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了“失败博物馆”以及创办人Samuel West希望通过展览来让人们正视失败并从中学习的理念,所以A项“A special exhibition that celebrates failures(庆祝失败的特别展览)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。

Reptiles(爬行动物) are also found but only a restricted number of species have been recorded.(班夫国家公园属于亚北极气候,分为三个生态区。森林的特色是低海拔的黑松和高海拔的恩格尔曼云杉,在林木线以下,以上主要是岩石和冰。这里发现了灰熊、美洲狮、狼獾、驼鹿和大角羊等哺乳动物,还有数百种鸟类。爬行动物也被发现,但只记录了有限数量的物种。)”可知,本段主要描述了班夫的生物多样性。故选A。
4. 词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“Over the previous few million years, glaciers have at times covered most of the park, but today are found only on the mountainsides (在过去的几百万年里,冰川有时覆盖了公园的大部分地区,但今天只在山坡上发现了冰川。)”,同时根据划线词句子中的“erosion(侵蚀)”可知,水和冰的侵蚀把山塑造成了形成了当前的山的特点——今天只在山坡上发现了冰川。故划线词与form为同义词,意为“形成。故选C。
Passage 7
(25-26高三上·河南商丘·期末)In the early 1900s, tourists flooded into Yellowstone National Park. They didn’t come for the beautiful views. Instead, they came for a strange sight: Every night, grizzly bears would go to open landfills to look for food like starving pirates (海盗).
This was very dangerous: Bears were too close to people, and hungry bears tore at open car windows. Yellowstone park rangers logged dozens of injuries each year — nearly 50 on average. Eventually, the Park Service ended the nightly landfill shows. Feeding wild animals human food wasn’t just dangerous. Bears, ecologists argued, should eat natural food like berries and nuts, not leftover snacks. In 1970, the park finally shut down the landfills for good.
By then, though, the grizzly were in deep trouble. As few as 700 remained in the lower 48 states, down from the estimated 50,000 that once lived in the 18 western states. Decades of trapping, shooting, and poisoning had driven them to the edge of extinction. The bears that survived had gotten used to eating human food, so when the landfills closed, many of them couldn’t find enough food and died.
Their already fragile (脆弱的) population in the Yellowstone region decreased to fewer than 250. So in 1975, the US Fish and Wildlife Service placed grizzly bears on the endangered species list. Today, there are over 1,000 bears around Yellowstone.
The recovery effort was a major success, but it’s led to new problems. As the bear population grows, they’re moving into areas where people live. This can lead to conflicts. In 2024 alone, over 60 grizzly were killed in Wyoming after causing problems like killing cattle or breaking into homes.
Now, there’s a debate about whether to remove grizzlies from the endangered species list. Some say their numbers have recovered enough. But to remove legal protection would mean grizzly bears would face increasing threats to their survival at a time when some biologists argue the species’ recovery is shaky at best.
1. Why did tourists rush to Yellowstone National Park in the early 1900s according to the text?
A.To explore the winding paths. B.To admire the splendid scenery.
C.To watch grizzly search for food. D.To take photos with family members
2. What was a consequence of closing the landfills in Yellowstone National Park?
A.A bear hunt across the conservation area. B.A sharp decline in grizzly’s population.
C.A dramatic increase in tourist numbers. D.A fragile natural environment in the park.
3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.De-listing grizzly remains uncertain. B.The protection by law is ineffective.
C.The Park Service’s duty is overstated. D.All biologists express concern over bears.
4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Grizzly’s’ Recovery: Success and New Challenges
B.A Fundamental Shift in Public Views on Landfills
C.The Yellowstone: Its Unique Ecosystem and Value
D.A Threat to Grizzly Posed by Overcrowded Sites
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. A
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。通过黄石公园灰熊种群的兴衰历程,探讨野生动物保护工作取得的成功及其引发的全新挑战。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the early 1900s, tourists flooded into Yellowstone National Park. They didn’t come for the beautiful views. Instead, they came for a strange sight: Every night, grizzly bears would go to open landfills to look for food like starving pirates (海盗).(20世纪初,游客们涌入黄石国家公园。他们并非为了欣赏美景而来。相反,他们是为了一种奇怪的景象:每晚,灰熊都会前往露天垃圾场寻找食物,就像一群饿坏了的海盗。)”可知,20世纪初,游客涌入的原因是为了一个奇特的景象——灰熊每晚都会去露天垃圾场觅食。故选C。
2. 细节理解题,根据文章第三段“Decades of trapping, shooting, and poisoning had driven them to the edge of extinction. The bears that survived had gotten used to eating human food, so when the landfills closed, many of them couldn’t find enough food and died.(数十年的诱捕、射杀和下毒已将它们推到了灭绝的边缘。那些幸存下来的熊已经习惯了吃人类食物,所以当垃圾场关闭时,许多熊找不到足够的食物而死去。)”可知,当垃圾场关闭后,许多熊找不到足够的食物而死亡,这直接导致了本就脆弱的灰熊数量进一步锐减。故选B。
3. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Now, there’s a debate about whether to remove grizzlies from the endangered species list. Some say their numbers have recovered enough. But to remove legal protection would mean grizzly bears would face increasing threats to their survival at a time when some biologists argue the species’ recovery is shaky at best.(现在,关于是否要将灰熊从濒危物种名单中移除存在争议。一些人认为它们的数量已经恢复得足够多了。但是,在一些生物学家认为该物种的恢复情况充其量也只是不稳定的情况下,取消法律保护将意味着灰熊的生存将面临越来越多的威胁。)”可知,是否“除名”还没有定论,存在不确定性。故选A。
4. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In the early 1900s, tourists flooded into Yellowstone National Park. They didn’t come for the beautiful views. Instead, they came for a strange sight: Every night, grizzly bears would go to open landfills to look for food like starving pirates (海盗).(20世纪初,游客们涌入黄石国家公园。他们并非为了欣赏美景而来。相反,他们是为了一种奇怪的景象:每晚,灰熊都会前往露天垃圾场寻找食物,就像一群饿坏了的海盗。)”并通读全文可知,文章由黄石国家公园灰熊每晚都会前往露天垃圾场寻找食物的景象引入,前半部分讲述了灰熊因失去食物来源而濒临灭绝,随后被列入保护名单并成功恢复数量;后半部分则讲述了数量恢复后带来的新问题,如它们进入人类居住区引发冲突,以及由此引发的关于是否应取消保护的争论的新挑战。故A项“灰熊的恢复:成功与新的挑战”符合文章标题,全面地概括了全文的主旨。故选A。
Passage 8
(2026·四川·一模)As gold prices hit new highs, a gold panning trend is popular in China’s old mining towns. Tourists can sift sand and shallow streams to find tiny gold flakes, which they can take home for free.
In Shandong and Zhejiang provinces, former mining towns now let visitors walk through underground tunnels, learn mining skills, and look for gold in streams and sandpits. A mining-themed park in Zhejiang’s Suichang County earned 13% more from tickets than last year by late August. During the recent 8-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, over 15,000 people booked tickets there. This year, gold prices have reached record levels. On October 8, international gold prices went above $4,000 per ounce. A visitor to the Suichang park said her husband found a small gold flake. Though it was hard to find and not valuable, “the kids were very happy,” she added. Each flake weighs 0.03 to 0.05 grams, worth about 35 to 60 yuan now.
The park’s entry ticket costs 126 yuan, and people pay an extra 30 yuan for the gold-panning activity. The “panning pool” is man-made. Since the park opened in 2007, it has added 1 kilogram of gold foil to the pool, said park manager Luo Feng. Besides gold panning, the park also offers tours of Tang (618-907) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasty mining tunnels, plus a museum. Similar spots exist in other places: a “Gold Panning Town” and museum in a closed mine in Shandong Zhaoyuan City, and a planned museum in Jilin’s Jiapigou (a 200-year-old major gold mine).
Experts say this trend shows people now prefer “hands-on experiences” over just sightseeing. Luo plans to add gold jewelry making and gold-foil art workshops to attract young people. “Gold stands for wealth and stability, which people of all ages care about,” he said. This kind of travel is called “industrial tourism” (visiting industrial places). It started in Europe in the mid-20th century and came to China in the late 1990s. With government support, China now has over 1,000 such spots, from old steel mills to new electric-vehicle factories. But for long-term growth, industrial tourism needs to go beyond “factory tours and souvenir shops”, and bring in “immersive, narrative, and interactive designs to help bring industrial stories into everyday life,” Zeng Bowei, a professor in tourism economy at Beijing Union University, told domestic media.
1. Why does the text start with the example of “gold prices hitting new highs”?
A.To explain why gold flakes found by tourists are extremely valuable.
B.To prove that gold markets have a direct impact on Chinese tourism.
C.To encourage readers to participate in gold panning in tourism activities.
D.To introduce the topic of the popularity of gold-panning industrial tourism.
2. Why is “hands-on experience” tourism like gold panning becoming popular?
A.Because people want to make money from them.
B.Because people prefer taking part in activities actively.
C.Because there are no other interesting tourist attractions.
D.Because the government urges people to visit industrial tourism sites.
3. What can visitors NOT do in the mining-themed park in Suichang County, Zhejiang?
A.Walk through underground tunnels from the Tang and Ming dynasties.
B.Pan for gold in a man-made pool with gold foil.
C.Visit a museum about mining history.
D.Make gold jewelry in special workshops.
4. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To advertise the gold-panning activities at the Suichang mining-themed park.
B.To explain the historical origin of China’s industrial tourism.
C.To introduce the popularity and development of gold-panning-themed industrial tourism.
D.To persuade readers to visit old mining towns for gold-panning experience.

Passage 9
(25-26高二下·陕西榆林·开学考试)Walt Disney’s vision of creating “The Happiest Place on Earth” for families revolutionized the amusement park industry and his company now has six resorts (度假区) with a dozen theme parks worldwide.
Disneyland in Anaheim, California is the first resort in the world. According to the Themed Entertainment Association, Disneyland now ranks as the world’s second — most visited theme park, closely behind Disney World in Florida, which opened in 1971. In 2023, it drew more than 17 million visitors.
The park was built on what was once an orange forest in Anaheim, just outside Los Angeles. It opened on July 17, 1955. Although Walt Disney was known for his attention to detail, the opening day was famously a disaster. The park opened just a year after its groundbreaking and the shoes of the guests sank into the muddy land. There weren’t enough restrooms in the park. Food and drinks were in short supply, too.
Among the original rides still around today are the Mad Tea Party, Peter Pan’s Flight and the Jungle Cruise. The cost to get in that first year was $1 for adults and 50 cents for children, although tickets for most rides were an additional 10 to 50 cents. Today, a one-day ticket starts at more than $100 and on some days can double that.
Over the years, the park has hosted US presidents, kings and queens, and countless celebrities. A few even got their start at Disneyland. Actor Kevin Costner was a skipper on the Jungle Cruise and comedian Steve Martin worked at a magic shop where he learned about being a performer.
While Disneyland still features many of the touches Walt Disney oversaw himself, the original park is ever-evolving. Some of the moves have been made to keep up with a changing society, while others have been made to introduce more thrilling attractions with the latest technology to keep up with competitors. The resort in Anaheim now includes Disney California Adventure and Downtown Disney, a shopping and entertainment district.
1. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Florida. B.Disneyland. C.Disney World. D.California.
2. Which of the following best describes Disneyland’s opening?
A.Ill-prepared. B.Unsuccessful. C.Well-scheduled. D.Ordinary.
3. What can be inferred about Peter Pan’s Flight?
A.It costs 10 to 50 cents for each ride. B.It has helped countless famous people.
C.It is the most advanced ride in the park. D.It is one of the oldest rides at Disneyland.
4. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Disneyland?
A.Its popularity. B.Its history. C.Its growth. D.Its benefits.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 4. C

Passage 10
(25-26高二上·浙江绍兴·期末)From raw ingredients to slow-cooking broth (高汤), an immersive hotpot theme park reveals heritage, craft and steaming innovation.
Embarking on an immersive tour at a renowned hotpot industrial theme park in Southwest China’s Chongqing, known as the nation’s hotpot capital, is a dreamlike yet thrilling experience for food lovers.
A decade ago, the industrial park was known strictly for massive manufacturing of hotpot raw materials and hotpot seasonings. Today, it has transformed into one of the city’s signature destinations — the first and only industrial tourism site themed around Chongqing hotpot drawing over 400,000 visitors in its peak year.
Its most recent expansion came in late September, when the Zhoujunji Hotpot Seasoning History and Culture Museum opened to the public, enriching the experience by showcasing the history and cultural significance of Chongqing hotpot.
The museum’s ongoing show, the Bashu Traditional Seasoning History and Culture Exhibition, highlights the rich history of the region’s five key tastes — saltiness, sourness, bitterness, sweetness, and spiciness in Sichuan province and Chongqing. Another show, the Modern Hotpot Culture Exhibition, offers a fascinating glimpse of the evolution of hotpot flavors.
Chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, the two most beloved spices in the region, known for their signature spicy and numbing tastes, take center stage in the exhibition. In the numbing spice section, six out of 10 exhibited varieties of peppercorns come from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Economic data from the Chongqing Hotpot Association paints a striking picture: by 2024, the city boasted 18,900 hotpot-related enterprises and 39,600 restaurants, generating 82.43 billion yuan in revenue — 32.7% of Chongqing’s total dining income. The hotpot industrial chain, spanning ingredient farming, seasoning production and catering services, has exceeded 300 billion yuan in value. What makes this success even more remarkable is that it bridges industrial production with cultural tourism, turning a local culinary tradition into a national and even international cultural icon.

Passage 11
(24-25高二上·山东东营·期末)As Hurricane Milton swept across Florida, you may have wondered what would happen to the state’s famous theme park, Walt Disney World in Orlando. If so, you’re not alone. The image of the fairy-tale kingdom getting hit by a natural disaster is a vivid and frightening one. But you can rest assured that the park that has thought of everything from Disney code words to themed atmosphere for rides has a detailed plan in place for hurricanes.
Disney World’s disaster plan starts with the Rideout Crew, a group of Disney employees who agree to stay on-site during severe weather events, like hurricanes, to do what they can to protect visitors stuck at the park. Many guests are stuck at the park or have chosen to stay and ride out the storm. The crew keeps them safe and informs them about safety plans. They also make sure guests are comfortable, providing food and entertainment. What’s more, this crew is in charge of boarding up windows, removing outdoor furniture and carrying out other protection plans. After the storm, the team clears debris (残片,碎片), checks ride safety and assists with any necessary repairs.
Disney World may be one of the safest places to shelter in the area, as long as guests follow Disney’s safety plans. Disney reports that its structures were built with Florida’s weather in mind and are able to withstand most severe weather events, including hurricanes. Disney also has its own power source and generators, so things tend to be back up and running quickly. Plus, power lines are underground, which helps ward off potential power failures.
No one wants to see any loss of life during a hurricane - human or animal. So the parks take special care of the animals in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and The Seas with Nemo and Friends. The animals aren’t evacuated but instead shelter in place. Disney reports that its on-site shelters were built with hurricanes in mind and are able to withstand most storms while keeping animals safe and comfortable.
1. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?
A.Summarize the content. B.Introduce the topic.
C.Offer background information. D.Present a viewpoint.
2. How can we describe the Rideout Crew?
A.Devoted and considerate. B.Responsible and entertaining.
C.Courageous and cooperative. D.Hardworking and intelligent.
3. What does the underlined words “ward off” mean?
A.Prevent. B.Predict. C.Generate. D.Distinguish.
4. What can we learn from Walt Disney World?
A.Rome was not built in a day. B.Always prepare for a rainy day.
C.Good is rewarded with good. D.Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. A 4. B

The image of the fairy-tale kingdom getting hit by a natural disaster is a vivid and frightening one. But you can rest assured that the park that has thought of everything from Disney code words to themed atmosphere for rides has a detailed plan in place for hurricanes.(当飓风米尔顿席卷佛罗里达州时,你可能想知道该州著名的主题公园——奥兰多的迪士尼世界会发生什么。如果是这样,你并不孤单。这个童话王国遭受自然灾害的形象是生动而可怕的。但你可以放心,从迪士尼的暗语到游乐设施的主题氛围,迪士尼已经为飓风制定了详细的计划)”可知,作者在第一段进行灾难设想,从而引出迪士尼为飓风制定详细计划的主题。故选B。

3. 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Plus, power lines are underground, which helps(另外,电线在地下,这帮助了)”及后文“potential power failure(潜在停电)”可知,电线在地下,在灾害来临时,会避免停电,prevent与ward off意思相近。故选A。
4. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Disney reports that its on-site shelters were built with hurricanes in mind and are able to withstand most storms while keeping animals safe and comfortable.(迪士尼报告称,其现场避难所的建造考虑到了飓风,能够承受大多数风暴,同时保持动物的安全和舒适)”及全文内容描写迪士尼乐园针对飓风的计划可知,迪士尼乐园针对可能到来的灾害未雨绸缪。故选B。
Passage 12
(25-26高二上·湖南长沙·期中)Nothing is more important than keeping your child safe. If you and your child are new to China, the following suggestions may give you some help.
Take good care of your child when taking public transportation. In China, buses and subways may be more crowded than you have imagined, especially in rush hours. It is important to stand in line. Never try to squeeze (挤进) in with your child when the door is closing and make sure your child is always beside you on the train, bus or subway.
Teach your child the traffic rules in China as soon as possible. It is wise to set an example for your child.Always cross the road with great caution. There is so much traffic running which may get you and your child hurt. Never jump the traffic lights. Do not let children cross the road alone unless they are old enough.
Use a child safety belt when driving a car. Never leave your child alone in a locked car. In summer, the temperature in a closed car can become extremely high in a short period of time and put your child in danger. Besides, oxygen is quickly becoming less and less when the car is completely closed so that your child is choking even to death.
You may find a number of places of attraction to visit in China, but consider carefully how suitable they are for your child before setting out. It may be an improper choice to take your young kids to faraway mountains on a cold day or to a popular museum during a crowded vacation. Decisions should depend on the weather, distance and specific situation.
While you and your child visit an amusement park, remember to keep your child safe as well. Read the height and weight rules carefully. Follow the directions of the staff (工作人员) in charge. Think it over before accepting the child’s demand for a thrilling game or ride.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·福建福州·期末)Banff National Park is Canada’s firstborn national park and was recognized in 1885. Located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Banff includes 6,641 square kilometers of glaciers and ice fields, thick forests, and alpine (高山的) scenery. The Icefields Park-way spreads from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbors to the west while Kootenay National Park is situated to the south. The main commercial center of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was contributory in Banff’s early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise hotel in the park and attracting tourists through widespread advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by prisoners of World War I, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. As Banff has over three million visitors annually, the health of its ecology has been endangered. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada launched a two-year study to preserve ecological integrity.
Banff National Park has a subarctic climate with three ecoregions. The forests feature pine trees at lower heights and Engelmann spruce at higher ones below the tree line, above which are chiefly rocks and ice. Mammal species such as the grizzly bear, cougar, wolverine, moose and bighorn sheep are found along with hundreds of bird species. Reptiles (爬行动物) are also found but only a restricted number of species have been recorded.
The mountains were formed from sedimentary rocks (沉积岩) which were pushed east over newer rock formations, between 80 and 55 million years ago. Over the previous few million years, glaciers have at times covered most of the park, but today are found only on the mountainsides though they include the Columbia Icefield, the largest continuous glacial mass in the Rockies. Being washed and crashed by water and ice has molded the mountains into their current appearance.
1. What can we infer about Banff National Park?
A.It was built mainly by prisoners.
B.It is connected to three provincial parks.
C.It is the oldest national park in Canada.
D.It failed to meet visitors’ commercial needs.
2. What was a contribution of the Canadian Pacific Railway?
A.Building roads in Banff. B.Preserving the ecology of Banff.
C.Constructing hotels in Banff. D.Providing multiple railways to Banff.
3. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The limited knowledge of reptiles. B.The biodiversity of Banff.
C.The region’s severe living conditions. D.The complex climate system of Banff.
4. What does the underlined word “molded” most probably mean?
A.Stuck. B.Broken. C.Followed. D.Shaped.
Passage 2
(2025·四川资阳·一模)Corktown Common Park is a beautiful urban oasis in Toronto’s West Don Lands district. It features a wildlife-filled marsh, sport fields, playgrounds, and plenty of space for picnics or barbecues. However, the park’s most impressive function is invisible: it’s designed to protect nearby neighborhoods from flooding. The landscape architects team worked with engineering firm Arup to create a park that looks natural but functions like a dyke (堤坝).
Twenty years ago, the West Don Lands area was mostly unused. It was once home to brick-making companies and taxi garages but had been abandoned for years. Emily Mueller, an associate principal of the firm, explains that Toronto struggled to develop the area due to its high flood risk, as it’s close to both a lake and a river.
In recent years, the district has seen significant development, with new office buildings and residential towers. Like many cities, Toronto is working to protect its neighborhoods from more frequent floods caused by climate change.
Corktown Common was built on a floodplain, so the team raised the land’s elevation (海拔) by nearly nine meters to create a natural barrier against rising water. Mueller explains that the goal was to combine the park with its facilities, making it feel like a welcoming green space rather than just a flood barrier. To achieve this, the firm added six meters of rolling hills and playgrounds on top of the infrastructure (基础设施).
The park is divided into wet and dry sides. Rainwater on the dry side is collected through underground pipes and stored in a large tank for irrigation. This system also reduces pressure on the Don River by slowing the flow of water into Lake Ontario.
1. What is the primary function of Corktown Common Park?
A.To attract foreign tourists. B.To replace factories.
C.To protect local communities. D.To provide housing.
2. What caused the West Don Lands area to face high flood risk?
A.Its wet climate. B.Its poor transportation.
C.Its industrial destruction. D.Its unfavorable location.
3. Why did the team add rolling hills and playgrounds on top of the barrier?
A.To provide more space for sports and recreation.
B.To make the barrier look and feel like a friendly park.
C.To increase the height of the barrier against extreme floods.
D.To reduce the cost of maintaining the flood-control facilities.
4. Which is a benefit of the water system in the park?
A.To boost wildlife. B.To help with irrigation. C.To clean lake water. D.To generate electricity.
Passage 3
(2025·浙江·高考真题)A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.
The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds.
Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads.
It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth.
The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.
1. What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Running out of. B.Keeping away from.
C.Putting up with. D.Taking advantage of.
2. Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced?
A.To control weeds in large gardens. B.To bring in foreign species of plants.
C.To conserve soil and water resources. D.To develop low-maintenance parkland.
3. Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens?
A.Traditional. B.Odd-looking.
C.Tasteful. D.Well-protected.
4. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The future of gardening is WILD. B.Nature treats all lives as EQUALS.
C.Matrix gardens need more CARE. D.Old garden plots work WONDERS.
Passage 4
(24-25高二上·福建莆田·开学考试)When a new product totally fails, companies typically try to move on as quickly as possible and put all of their energies into developing fresh ideas that they hope will catch on.
But the Museum of Failure never forgets. This traveling exhibition (展览), which was first launched in Sweden in 2017, arrived in New York City in 2023. It is designed by Samuel West, a psychologist who specializes in organizational science.
He hopes it will help normalize the concept of failure, which he sees as a good learning opportunity. “My research is focused on helping organizations to be more innovative,” says West. “And one of the big difficulties in innovation is the fear of failure.”
Indeed, many companies are unwilling to show their failures to the world. When West first began putting together the exhibition, he had to find the failed products on eBay and Craigslist because “nobody wanted to have anything to do with this.”
However, in this traveling exhibition, when people see big well-known brands (品牌) and companies that have extreme amounts of money and experience still fail when trying new things, they may say, “As ‘big boys’ can fail, why can’t we?” People then try something new, accept the level of risk that comes with it and learn from it if the new thing fails.
West hopes to stress that failure usually isn’t as bad or scary as many imagine. “You fail, but you can reflect, build on your new thoughts, try a different method and come back again with something better. Simply trying again and again without adapting is not enough,” he adds.
In fact, many well-known brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven’t let one or two failures stand in their way. Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors; though Crystal Pepsi failed, PepsiCo is still popular among customers. Other notable examples of serious failures include Bic for Her pens, Colgate’s frozen dinner, and a “hula chair” for exercise.
1. What does Samuel West intend to do by putting on the exhibition?
A.To create a fun viewing experience.
B.To collect comments on failed products.
C.To tell the stories of unsuccessful businessmen.
D.To encourage people to accept and learn from failure.
2. How will people most likely feel while visiting the traveling exhibition?
A.Scared and puzzled. B.Surprised and curious.
C.Relaxed and inspired. D.Discouraged and worried.
3. Why does the author mention some famous brands in the last paragraph?
A.To show failure can lead to creativity and success.
B.To explain companies are careful with new designs.
C.To prove popular inventions are based on real needs.
D.To stress famous brands are more likely to take risks.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A.A special exhibition that celebrates failures
B.The public attitude to the Museum of Failure
C.A unique way for companies to get over failures
D.The business advice from some well-known brands

Passage 7
(25-26高三上·河南商丘·期末)In the early 1900s, tourists flooded into Yellowstone National Park. They didn’t come for the beautiful views. Instead, they came for a strange sight: Every night, grizzly bears would go to open landfills to look for food like starving pirates (海盗).
This was very dangerous: Bears were too close to people, and hungry bears tore at open car windows. Yellowstone park rangers logged dozens of injuries each year — nearly 50 on average. Eventually, the Park Service ended the nightly landfill shows. Feeding wild animals human food wasn’t just dangerous. Bears, ecologists argued, should eat natural food like berries and nuts, not leftover snacks. In 1970, the park finally shut down the landfills for good.
By then, though, the grizzly were in deep trouble. As few as 700 remained in the lower 48 states, down from the estimated 50,000 that once lived in the 18 western states. Decades of trapping, shooting, and poisoning had driven them to the edge of extinction. The bears that survived had gotten used to eating human food, so when the landfills closed, many of them couldn’t find enough food and died.
Their already fragile (脆弱的) population in the Yellowstone region decreased to fewer than 250. So in 1975, the US Fish and Wildlife Service placed grizzly bears on the endangered species list. Today, there are over 1,000 bears around Yellowstone.
The recovery effort was a major success, but it’s led to new problems. As the bear population grows, they’re moving into areas where people live. This can lead to conflicts. In 2024 alone, over 60 grizzly were killed in Wyoming after causing problems like killing cattle or breaking into homes.
Now, there’s a debate about whether to remove grizzlies from the endangered species list. Some say their numbers have recovered enough. But to remove legal protection would mean grizzly bears would face increasing threats to their survival at a time when some biologists argue the species’ recovery is shaky at best.
1. Why did tourists rush to Yellowstone National Park in the early 1900s according to the text?
A.To explore the winding paths. B.To admire the splendid scenery.
C.To watch grizzly search for food. D.To take photos with family members
2. What was a consequence of closing the landfills in Yellowstone National Park?
A.A bear hunt across the conservation area. B.A sharp decline in grizzly’s population.
C.A dramatic increase in tourist numbers. D.A fragile natural environment in the park.
3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.De-listing grizzly remains uncertain. B.The protection by law is ineffective.
C.The Park Service’s duty is overstated. D.All biologists express concern over bears.
4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Grizzly’s’ Recovery: Success and New Challenges
B.A Fundamental Shift in Public Views on Landfills
C.The Yellowstone: Its Unique Ecosystem and Value
D.A Threat to Grizzly Posed by Overcrowded Sites
Passage 8
(2026·四川·一模)As gold prices hit new highs, a gold panning trend is popular in China’s old mining towns. Tourists can sift sand and shallow streams to find tiny gold flakes, which they can take home for free.
In Shandong and Zhejiang provinces, former mining towns now let visitors walk through underground tunnels, learn mining skills, and look for gold in streams and sandpits. A mining-themed park in Zhejiang’s Suichang County earned 13% more from tickets than last year by late August. During the recent 8-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, over 15,000 people booked tickets there. This year, gold prices have reached record levels. On October 8, international gold prices went above $4,000 per ounce. A visitor to the Suichang park said her husband found a small gold flake. Though it was hard to find and not valuable, “the kids were very happy,” she added. Each flake weighs 0.03 to 0.05 grams, worth about 35 to 60 yuan now.
The park’s entry ticket costs 126 yuan, and people pay an extra 30 yuan for the gold-panning activity. The “panning pool” is man-made. Since the park opened in 2007, it has added 1 kilogram of gold foil to the pool, said park manager Luo Feng. Besides gold panning, the park also offers tours of Tang (618-907) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasty mining tunnels, plus a museum. Similar spots exist in other places: a “Gold Panning Town” and museum in a closed mine in Shandong Zhaoyuan City, and a planned museum in Jilin’s Jiapigou (a 200-year-old major gold mine).
Experts say this trend shows people now prefer “hands-on experiences” over just sightseeing. Luo plans to add gold jewelry making and gold-foil art workshops to attract young people. “Gold stands for wealth and stability, which people of all ages care about,” he said. This kind of travel is called “industrial tourism” (visiting industrial places). It started in Europe in the mid-20th century and came to China in the late 1990s. With government support, China now has over 1,000 such spots, from old steel mills to new electric-vehicle factories. But for long-term growth, industrial tourism needs to go beyond “factory tours and souvenir shops”, and bring in “immersive, narrative, and interactive designs to help bring industrial stories into everyday life,” Zeng Bowei, a professor in tourism economy at Beijing Union University, told domestic media.
1. Why does the text start with the example of “gold prices hitting new highs”?
A.To explain why gold flakes found by tourists are extremely valuable.
B.To prove that gold markets have a direct impact on Chinese tourism.
C.To encourage readers to participate in gold panning in tourism activities.
D.To introduce the topic of the popularity of gold-panning industrial tourism.
2. Why is “hands-on experience” tourism like gold panning becoming popular?
A.Because people want to make money from them.
B.Because people prefer taking part in activities actively.
C.Because there are no other interesting tourist attractions.
D.Because the government urges people to visit industrial tourism sites.
3. What can visitors NOT do in the mining-themed park in Suichang County, Zhejiang?
A.Walk through underground tunnels from the Tang and Ming dynasties.
B.Pan for gold in a man-made pool with gold foil.
C.Visit a museum about mining history.
D.Make gold jewelry in special workshops.
4. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To advertise the gold-panning activities at the Suichang mining-themed park.
B.To explain the historical origin of China’s industrial tourism.
C.To introduce the popularity and development of gold-panning-themed industrial tourism.
D.To persuade readers to visit old mining towns for gold-panning experience.
Passage 9
(25-26高二下·陕西榆林·开学考试)Walt Disney’s vision of creating “The Happiest Place on Earth” for families revolutionized the amusement park industry and his company now has six resorts (度假区) with a dozen theme parks worldwide.
Disneyland in Anaheim, California is the first resort in the world. According to the Themed Entertainment Association, Disneyland now ranks as the world’s second — most visited theme park, closely behind Disney World in Florida, which opened in 1971. In 2023, it drew more than 17 million visitors.
The park was built on what was once an orange forest in Anaheim, just outside Los Angeles. It opened on July 17, 1955. Although Walt Disney was known for his attention to detail, the opening day was famously a disaster. The park opened just a year after its groundbreaking and the shoes of the guests sank into the muddy land. There weren’t enough restrooms in the park. Food and drinks were in short supply, too.
Among the original rides still around today are the Mad Tea Party, Peter Pan’s Flight and the Jungle Cruise. The cost to get in that first year was $1 for adults and 50 cents for children, although tickets for most rides were an additional 10 to 50 cents. Today, a one-day ticket starts at more than $100 and on some days can double that.
Over the years, the park has hosted US presidents, kings and queens, and countless celebrities. A few even got their start at Disneyland. Actor Kevin Costner was a skipper on the Jungle Cruise and comedian Steve Martin worked at a magic shop where he learned about being a performer.
While Disneyland still features many of the touches Walt Disney oversaw himself, the original park is ever-evolving. Some of the moves have been made to keep up with a changing society, while others have been made to introduce more thrilling attractions with the latest technology to keep up with competitors. The resort in Anaheim now includes Disney California Adventure and Downtown Disney, a shopping and entertainment district.
1. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Florida. B.Disneyland. C.Disney World. D.California.
2. Which of the following best describes Disneyland’s opening?
A.Ill-prepared. B.Unsuccessful. C.Well-scheduled. D.Ordinary.
3. What can be inferred about Peter Pan’s Flight?
A.It costs 10 to 50 cents for each ride. B.It has helped countless famous people.
C.It is the most advanced ride in the park. D.It is one of the oldest rides at Disneyland.
4. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Disneyland?
A.Its popularity. B.Its history. C.Its growth. D.Its benefits.
Passage 10
(25-26高二上·浙江绍兴·期末)From raw ingredients to slow-cooking broth (高汤), an immersive hotpot theme park reveals heritage, craft and steaming innovation.
Embarking on an immersive tour at a renowned hotpot industrial theme park in Southwest China’s Chongqing, known as the nation’s hotpot capital, is a dreamlike yet thrilling experience for food lovers.
A decade ago, the industrial park was known strictly for massive manufacturing of hotpot raw materials and hotpot seasonings. Today, it has transformed into one of the city’s signature destinations — the first and only industrial tourism site themed around Chongqing hotpot drawing over 400,000 visitors in its peak year.
Its most recent expansion came in late September, when the Zhoujunji Hotpot Seasoning History and Culture Museum opened to the public, enriching the experience by showcasing the history and cultural significance of Chongqing hotpot.
The museum’s ongoing show, the Bashu Traditional Seasoning History and Culture Exhibition, highlights the rich history of the region’s five key tastes — saltiness, sourness, bitterness, sweetness, and spiciness in Sichuan province and Chongqing. Another show, the Modern Hotpot Culture Exhibition, offers a fascinating glimpse of the evolution of hotpot flavors.
Chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, the two most beloved spices in the region, known for their signature spicy and numbing tastes, take center stage in the exhibition. In the numbing spice section, six out of 10 exhibited varieties of peppercorns come from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Economic data from the Chongqing Hotpot Association paints a striking picture: by 2024, the city boasted 18,900 hotpot-related enterprises and 39,600 restaurants, generating 82.43 billion yuan in revenue — 32.7% of Chongqing’s total dining income. The hotpot industrial chain, spanning ingredient farming, seasoning production and catering services, has exceeded 300 billion yuan in value. What makes this success even more remarkable is that it bridges industrial production with cultural tourism, turning a local culinary tradition into a national and even international cultural icon.
1. What was the hotpot industrial theme park mainly used for ten years ago?

(24-25高二上·山东东营·期末)As Hurricane Milton swept across Florida, you may have wondered what would happen to the state’s famous theme park, Walt Disney World in Orlando. If so, you’re not alone. The image of the fairy-tale kingdom getting hit by a natural disaster is a vivid and frightening one. But you can rest assured that the park that has thought of everything from Disney code words to themed atmosphere for rides has a detailed plan in place for hurricanes.
Disney World’s disaster plan starts with the Rideout Crew, a group of Disney employees who agree to stay on-site during severe weather events, like hurricanes, to do what they can to protect visitors stuck at the park. Many guests are stuck at the park or have chosen to stay and ride out the storm. The crew keeps them safe and informs them about safety plans. They also make sure guests are comfortable, providing food and entertainment. What’s more, this crew is in charge of boarding up windows, removing outdoor furniture and carrying out other protection plans. After the storm, the team clears debris (残片,碎片), checks ride safety and assists with any necessary repairs.
Disney World may be one of the safest places to shelter in the area, as long as guests follow Disney’s safety plans. Disney reports that its structures were built with Florida’s weather in mind and are able to withstand most severe weather events, including hurricanes. Disney also has its own power source and generators, so things tend to be back up and running quickly. Plus, power lines are underground, which helps ward off potential power failures.
No one wants to see any loss of life during a hurricane - human or animal. So the parks take special care of the animals in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and The Seas with Nemo and Friends. The animals aren’t evacuated but instead shelter in place. Disney reports that its on-site shelters were built with hurricanes in mind and are able to withstand most storms while keeping animals safe and comfortable.

Passage 12
(25-26高二上·湖南长沙·期中)Nothing is more important than keeping your child safe. If you and your child are new to China, the following suggestions may give you some help.
Take good care of your child when taking public transportation. In China, buses and subways may be more crowded than you have imagined, especially in rush hours. It is important to stand in line. Never try to squeeze (挤进) in with your child when the door is closing and make sure your child is always beside you on the train, bus or subway.
Teach your child the traffic rules in China as soon as possible. It is wise to set an example for your child.Always cross the road with great caution. There is so much traffic running which may get you and your child hurt. Never jump the traffic lights. Do not let children cross the road alone unless they are old enough.
Use a child safety belt when driving a car. Never leave your child alone in a locked car. In summer, the temperature in a closed car can become extremely high in a short period of time and put your child in danger. Besides, oxygen is quickly becoming less and less when the car is completely closed so that your child is choking even to death.
You may find a number of places of attraction to visit in China, but consider carefully how suitable they are for your child before setting out. It may be an improper choice to take your young kids to faraway mountains on a cold day or to a popular museum during a crowded vacation. Decisions should depend on the weather, distance and specific situation.
While you and your child visit an amusement park, remember to keep your child safe as well. Read the height and weight rules carefully. Follow the directions of the staff (工作人员) in charge. Think it over before accepting the child’s demand for a thrilling game or ride.
