B
When it takes days to get to a city,seeking
medical help can be a challenge.
This is the reality in many villages in Amdo
county,Nagchu city of the Xizang autonomous
region.The county spans approximately 100,000
square kilometers,an area as vast as Jiangsu
province.Due to the vastness and sparse(稀少
population,a unique healthcare system has
been established here.
Tsega has worked as a village doctor in Am-
do for over 40 years,shuttling between grass-
lands and pastoral areas."In the past,without
vehicles,upon receiving messages about someone
falling ill,sometimes I had to ride a horse,some-
times walk.It would take a four to five-day round
trip to some villages,Tsega said.
With an average elevation exceeding 5,000
meters,conditions in Amdo make high-altitude
cardiovascular diseases,gout(痛风)and high
blood pressure relatively common.
Discovering his passion for healing and help-
ing others in his early 20s,Tsega embarked on
self-study of Tibetan and traditional Chinese medi-
cines,and later pursued over a year of professional
training at the People's Hospital in Nagchu,becom-
ing proficient in Western medicine as well.
Drawing from his years of medical experi-
ence,he tailors treatment methods-be it Tibet-
an,Chinese,Western or a combination-based
on each patient's needs.During his visits,he car-
ries a variety of medications provided by the
township hospital and purchases some himself.
Tsega believes that soaking in hot springs
can help ease pain or prevent illnesses related to
high altitude.Over the past decade,he has per-
sonally funded annual hot spring activities for the
elderly,weak and disabled across the area.
In 1974,Tsega also cooperated with person-
nel from the Lanzhou military and geological
teams for a 40-day filming project,capturing the
beauty and fragility of the Yangtze River's source.
Since then,he has devoted his spare time to clean-
ing up the surrounding area,contributing to envi-
ronmental protection efforts.
4.What made offering medical help difficult in the
past in Amdo?
A.Sparse population.
B.Traffic inconvenience.
C.High altitude.
D.Environmental pollution.
5.What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 5
most probably mean?
A.fascinated by
B.skilled at
C.gifted in
D.blessed with
·43
6.Which of the following best describes Tsega's
personality?
A.committed and selfless
B.passionate and courageous
C.sympathetic and grateful
D.considerate and disciplined
7.What is the text mainly about?
A.Tsega devotes his lifetime to environmental
protection.
B.The medical challenge has been tackled in
sparsely populated areas.
C.A doctor has used hot springs to relieve
high-altitude diseases.
D.A doctor is devoted to treating patients in a
remote county.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍
的是穿梭于草原和牧区之间,为西藏边远地区的
人民提供医疗服务的乡村医生Tsega。
4.B[细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“‘In the
past,without vehicles,upon receiving messa-
ges about someone falling ill,sometimes I had
to ride a horse,sometimes walk.It would take
a four to five-day round trip to some villages,'
Tsega said.(Tsega说‘在过去,没有交通工具,
一接到有人生病的消息,我有时不得不骑马,有
时不得不步行。往返一些村庄需要4到5天的
时间。’)”可知,过去在安多,交通不便让提供医
疗帮助变得困难。故选B项。]
5.B[词句猜测题。根据划线短语前面的部分
"and later pursued over a year of professional
training at the People's Hospital in Nagchu'”可
知,通过在那曲人民医院接受一年多的专业培
训,Tsega肯定是熟练掌握了西医。所以,划线
短语proficient in的意义为“在…方面很熟
练,精通于”,与B项skilled at意义一致。故选
B项。]
6.A[推理判断题。根据第三段“Tsega has
worked as a village doctor in Amdo for over 40
years,shuttling between...'In the past...to
some villages,’Tsega said.”和第五段“Discov-
ering his passion for healing...becoming pro-
ficient in Western medicine as well.”可知,Tse
ga是个尽心尽力的人。根据第六段的句子
"During his visits,he carries a variety of medi-
cations provided by the township hospital and
purchases some himself.和第七段的句子“Over
the past decade,he has personally funded an-
nual hot spring activities for the elderly,weak
and disabled across the area”可知,Tsega是个
无私的人。故选A项。]
7.D[主旨大意题。本文主要介绍的是穿梭于草
原和牧区之间,为西藏边远地区的人民提供医
疗服务的乡村医生Tsega。所以,D项“Adoc
tor is devoted to treating patients in a remote
county.”可以概括本文主要内容。故选D项。]

(2024·山东威海市高三期末)Solving the
mystery of the Loch Ness Monster would be con-
sidered as a good deed,right?On that basis,a
webcam has been set up overlooking the lake.
Anyone can tune in at any time.If you see some-
thing suspicious(可疑的),you simply click the
“snapshot”buttons to submit a picture for fur
ther analysis.It is free,easy,and you can do it
for as little or as long as you like,with no login
or signup required.What you are doing is micro-
volunteering,which offers volunteers a series of
easy tasks that can be done anytime,anywhere,
on their own terms.
Micro-volunteering could involve anything
from retweeting a message to joining a flash mob
(快闪).Volunteers do not need to go through an
application or training process,or to make any
ongoing commitment.The vast majority of micro-
volunteering takes place online,but it doesn't
have to.Weeding a garden in a local community
center counts just as much.
The key benefit of micro-volunteering is its
flexibility.People frequently cite their lack of
time as the biggest barrier to volunteering.For
many,micro-volunteering removes the need to
worry about making long-term commitments once
they start volunteering.It enables people who
might be excluded from traditional ways of volun-
teering to participate.
To some extent,micro-volunteering is an ap-
proach that aims to help lots of people come to-
gether to make a difference.It could take a while
to see its impacts.Studies,however,have shown that
65 percent of those who have micro volunteered
were still actively doing so one year later.Even
though micro-volunteering cannot replace long-
term commitments,it serves as a complement(
)to the more traditional methods of contribu-
ting to good causes.
8.Why is the Loch Ness Monster mentioned in
Paragraph 1?
A.To illustrate micro-volunteering.
B.To get more volunteers involved.
C.To offer a solution to the mystery.
D.To post a micro-volunteering task.
9.What does micro-volunteering feature?
A.It's free of commitment.
B.It's flexible,time-wise.
C.It's only available online.
D.It needs systematical training.
10.Which can best explain the underlined "be ex-
cluded from"in Paragraph 3?
A.Be used to.
B.Be distracted by.
C.Be discouraged from.D.Be interested in.

11.What does the writer think of micro-voluntee-
ring according to the last paragraph?
A.Quick-impact.B.Widely-recognized.
C.Irreplaceable.D.Sustainable.

了什么是微志愿活动,它的好处和意义。
8.A[写作手法题。根据第一段中“Solving the
mystery of the Loch Ness Monster would be
considered as a good deed,right?...What you
are doing is micro-volunteering,which offers
volunteers a series of easy tasks that can be
done anytime,anywhere,on their own terms..”可
知,第1段提到尼斯湖水怪是为了说明微
志愿。门
9.B[细节理解题。根据第三段中“The key ben
efit of micro-volunteering is its flexibility.Peo-
ple frequently cite their lack of time as the big-
gest barrier to volunteering.For many,micro-
volunteering removes the need to worry about
making long-term commitments once they start
volunteering.”可知,微志愿的特点是,它在时间
上的安排很灵活。]
l0.C[词义猜测题。根据第三段中“For many,
micro-volunteering removes the need to worry
about making long-term commitments once
they start volunteering..”可知,因为微志愿在时
间上的安排很灵活,所以它可以让被排除在传
统志愿服务方式之外的人能够参与进来,所以
be excluded from的意思是“被排除”之意,和C
项“Be discouraged from”意思相近。]
11.D[推理判断题。根据最后一段中“To some
extent,micro-volunteering is an approach that
aims to help lots of people come together to
make a difference...it serves as a complement
to the more traditional methods of contributing
to good causes..”可推知,作者认为微型志愿服
务可以作为对更传统的慈善方式的补充,所以
作者对微志愿的看法是可持续的。]

A study from 1976 tells us how and why re-
lationships with our neighbors can be so good for
us.Surprisingly to scientists at that time,results
showed that connection with family members-
even one's own children-had little influence on
feelings of well-being or willpower.Meanwhile,
friendships,especially those with neighbors,pre-
dicted lower levels of loneliness and worry,high-
er levels of feelings of usefulness and respect
within the community.
9·
高考总复习英语(H)》
The study suggests that acquaintance and
friendship with neighbors are more effective at in-
creasing well-being since they are based on near-
ness,common interests and lifestyle choices.The
neighborhood relationships are also developed
voluntarily.Family ties,on the other hand,are
often characterized by a sense of responsibility,
physical distance,and personal disharmony.Lat-
er studies confirm the importance of close friend-
ships for people over 65,highlighting the particu-
lar importance of frequent connection.
More recent studies show that neighborly
support is associated with better well-being for
individuals in mid-to-late life.Data about neigh-
borly relationships and general well-being from 1,
071 adults aged 40-70 from the National Survey of
Midlife Development in the US was collected in
1995,and again from the same individuals
in2005.
The study found that those who had little
connection with neighbors at the time of both
samples,as well as those who experienced a re-
duction in connection with neighbors over the
years,experienced downward trends in well-be-
ing,as indicated by feelings of sadness,nervous-
ness.restlessness,hopelessness and worthless-
ness.
It is important to note here the difference be-
tween friendship and neighboring or relationships
with neighbors.While friendships are based on
common affection,neighboring,at its core is an
instrumental relationship that is catalyzed by
nearness.But it doesn't have to be this way.
Where neighbors are also close friends,the potential
benefits are clear.While both friendship and neigh-
boring are beneficial to well-being,they are most ef-
fective when the types of support and assistance from
both coincide.
12.What does the 1976 study tell us?
A.The friendships between neighbors can last
forever.
B.People ignore neighbors more than family
members.
C.Neighbors influence people as much as their
own children do.
D.Neighbors are more influential to people
than family members.
13.How does the author mainly develop para-
graph 2?
A.By analyzing data.
B.By giving instructions.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By following the order of time.

14.What determines neighborly relationships ac-
cording to the text?
A.Nearness.
B.Responsibility.
C.Physical distance.
D.A common life goal.
15.What is the text mainly about?
A.Why neighbors always help us.
B.Why our neighbors are so important.
C.How neighborly support is available.
D.How neighborly relationships develop well.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
After my family got comfortably settled in
Hotel Ramada in Bangkok,we started exploring
the city.After endless hours of shopping,it was
finally time to go back.
This was when the trouble started.We for-
got there are two Ramada hotels in the opposite
directions.Absolutely unaware of this,we star-
ted searching for the way back.Google maps sug-
gested us the shortest route,which was just 20
minutes away by walk.1
Bangkok felt different after sunset.Walking
along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red
sky felt beautiful.Lost in our talk,we didn't re-
alize that we passed onto the quieter part of the
town.
2 It was closed for redecoration.Un-
luckily,nobody around us then spoke English.
Worse still,we stepped in a local tuk-tuk(三轮
车),which took us to an unknown area for an
enormous pay.We had no clue where we were,
our mobile phones nearly out of power.
3 He was a taxi driver.Recounting the
day's events proved to be a great conversation
starter.We ended up talking through the way.
He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for
the rest of our stay.4 For the next four
days,from floating markets to the temples of
Wat Pho,our trip wouldn't have been so trouble-
free without him.
Sometimes when things don't go according to
plan,I think about the stranger we met on the
streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to
unexpected results.5
A.That was when our hero arrived.
B.Our thankfulness was beyond description.
C.We reached a completely different Hotel Ramada.
D.We set off into the city with little research on
transport.
E.We decided not to waste our money but our
time instead.
F.He then reminded us that our hotel was just a
few blocks away.
G.The trip rings as a reminder that every cloud
has a silver lining.

第二部分人与社会
[语篇解读]这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了
作者一家在曼谷旅游时遇到一位好心的司机的
故事。
l.E[根据上文“Google maps suggested us the
shortest route,which was just 20 minutes
away by walk.(谷歌地图为我们推荐了最短的
路线,步行只需20分钟。)”提到谷歌地图提供
了最短的路线,步行只需20分钟,结合下一段
中“Walking along the heavily-crowded roads
with the dark-red sky felt beautiful.(在拥挤的
道路上漫步,深红色的天空让人感觉很美。)”可
知,作者一家选择了按推荐的路线步行,E项
“我们决定不浪费钱,而是花费时间。”符合
语境。]
2.C[根据下一句“It was closed for redecora-
tion.(它因重新装修而关闭了。)”可知,作者一
家应是到达酒店后发现它关闭了,C选项中H。
tel Ramada对应后文It。C项“我们到达了一个
完全不同的华美达酒店。”符合语境。]
3.A[上一段末句“We had no clue where we
were,our mobile phones nearly out of power.
(我们不知道自己身在何处,我们的手机几乎没
电了。)”提到作者一家身陷困境,结合下文“He
was a taxi driver.(他是一名出租车司机。)”可
知,空处应是提及一个帮助作者一家解决困境
的人物,A项“就在这时,我们的英雄来了。”符
合语境。]
4.B[根据上文“He was so kind as to offer to
drive us around for the rest of our stay.(他好
心地提出在我们剩下的逗留时间里开车载我们
四处转转。)”提到那名司机带作者一行人四处
转转,结合下文“For the next four days,from
floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho,
our trip wouldn't have been so trouble-free
without him.(在接下来的四天里,从水上市场
到卧佛寺,如果没有他,我们的旅行不会这么顺
利。)”可知,作者一家应是很感谢那位司机,B项
“我们的感激之情难以形容。”符合语境。]
5.G[根据上文“Sometimes when things don't
go according to plan,I think about the stranger
we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake
on our part led to unexpected results.(有时候,
当事情没有按计划进行时,我会想起我们在街
上遇到的那个陌生人,想到我们的一个小错误
是如何导致意想不到的结果的。)”可知,事情不
按原计划发展时作者总会想起那位陌生人和那
次旅行,所以空处应是总结那次旅行得出的感
悟,G项“这次旅行提醒我们,黑暗中总有一线
光明。”符合语境。]
