I.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍奥林工程
学院团队开发的PhoenixBot机器人及其促进无化学耕作
的作用与意义。
l.B[细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The conventional
approach to weeding is to use chemicals,...safely up-
roots weeds around crop plants without the use of chemi-
cls.(传统的除草方法是使用化学药品,这可能对作物
有害并产生其他环境影响。我们决定专注于开发一种
机器人除草系统,该系统能最小程度地扰动土壤,并在
不使用化学药品的情况下安全地将作物周围的杂草连
根拔起。)”可知,PhoenixBot的主要目的是推动无化学
物质的耕作方式。」
2.A[词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The conventional
approach to weeding is to use chemicals(传统的除草方
法是使用化学药剂)”可知,传统除草使用的化学药品会
造成环境影响,结合划线单词后的“We decided to focus
on building a robotic weeding system that minimally dis-
turbs the soil and safely uproots weeds around crop
plants without the use of chemicals..”可知,为应对化学
药剂对土壤的影响,而研发一种机器人除草系统,由此
推断划线单词“detrimental'"意为“有害的”,与“harmful'”
含义一致。
3.C「逻辑推理题。根据倒数第二段中的“‘Not only does
the challenge demonstrate the future of farming with ro-
botics,but it's also encouraging the next generation of
engineers to focus their talents on the challenges that ex-
ist in growing our food,'said Brendan Dowdle,CEO of
2
farm-ng.”可知,这项挑战激励下一代工程师将自身才华
聚焦于粮食种植过程中存在的各项挑战,由此可推断,
Brendan Dowdle强调该项目展示了未来农业使用机器
人技术的趋势。
4.C[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The course at the
College is designed to provide students with hands-on ex-
periences and prepare them to make practical change.
院的课程旨在为学生提供实践经验,并让他们为实际的
变革做好准备。)”可知,该学院的课程使学生具备应对
现实挑战的能力。
Ⅱ.[参考范文]
Better Campus,Better Life
I propose transforming the unused area into a "Pocket
Fitness Zone."This space can be furnished with a steel
frame equipped with pull-up and parallel bars,alongside
rubber mats.
Such a fitness zone would bring multiple benefits.
Firstly,it provides a convenient escape where students can
relieve back pain and recharge their energy after long hours
of sitting in the classroom.Additionally,by offering equip
ment that suits all athletic levels,it fosters a habit of regu
lar exercise without requiring expensive facilities.
In essence,creating this fitness zone would greatly en-
hance our overall campus experience and promote wellness
for every student.
Ⅲ,[参考范文]
Tom found shelter behind a large rock and took a mo
ment to think.He had read about this in the mountaineer
ing books:when the weather turns dangerous,it's often
best to stop and wait it out.Cold and a little frightened,
Tom thought of calling for rescue for a moment.But Tom
was so close to the top and his dream.He thought,if he
had quitted this time,he would feel regretful in his later
life.He didn't want to give up now.After a few minutes,
he made up his mind.He would continue,but he would be
extra cautious.
Step by step,Tom made his way up the mountain,
carefully placing his hands and feet on the rock,testing
every hold be fore moving forward.His muscles ached,
and the cold cut through his clothes,but he focused on the
goal.After what felt like hours,he finally reached the sum-
mit.The wind had died down,and the clouds began to
clear,revealing a breathtaking view of the world below.
Tom stood there,tired and exhausted,but filled with a
sense of accomplishment.As he looked out at the vast land-
scape,he realized that the journey had taught him more
than just how to climb a mountain.It had taught him the
importance of perseverance,courage,and believing in him-
self,even when things seemed impossible.The mountain
had tested him,but in the end,he proved to himself that
he was capable of achieving his dream.
L语篇解读]本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Tom从小
就有着登上高山的梦想,为此他苦练自己的体力和耐力,
阅读有关登山的书籍和人物故寧,为自已登上高峰做了充
足的准备。当他最终去登山时,一开始很顺利,但到达半
山腰时天气变得恶劣,迫使他停下来思考是继续攀登还是
就此停下来。
[详解
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“汤姆在一块大岩石后发现了一处
躲避处,他躲在那儿思考着。”可知,第一段可描写汤姆
的内心活动,到底是继续攀登还是请求救援放弃登山。
由第二段的首句可知,在第一段的后面一定是汤姆坚定
信心继续登山。
②由第二段首句内容“汤姆极其谨慎地攀登。”可知,第
二段可描写汤姆登山的艰难过程以及他如何克服困难
到达山顶,最后要有感而发,呼应文章主题
2.续写线索:
汤姆向往登山—一汤姆为登山做好各方面准备一开
始登山—一途中逼挫—一决定克服困难继续攀登

参考答案
选择性必修第二册UNIT1
I.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了智
利植物学家Pablo Guerrero致力于研究阿塔卡马沙漠的仙
人掌,并呼吁保护这些面临气候变化、非法贸易等多重威
胁的濒危植物。
l.B[细节理解题。根据第一段“Now,he investigates
threats to these plants,including climate change and ille-
gal trading,(现在,他会对这些植物所面临的威胁进行调
查,其中包括气候变化和非法交易等因素。)”可知,Pblo
Guerrero目前的研究重,点是调查阿塔卡马沙漠中仙人
掌面临的威胁。
2.A「词句猜测题。根据划线词前“The Atacama's cacti
face(阿塔卡马沙漠的仙人掌面临)”及划线词后“Many
species occupy microhabitats covering mere kilometers,
relying entirely on coastal fog for survival.But shifting
climate patterns are reducing fog,while industrial expan-
sion breaks up their habitats.(许多物种栖息于面积仅几
公里的微小生存环境中,完全依赖沿海的雾气来维持生
存。然而,不断变化的气候模式正在减少雾气的出现
而工业扩张又破坏了它们的栖息地。)”可知,阿塔卡马
沙漠的仙人学面临着日趋增长的压力。故划线词意思
是“增长的”。
3.C[细节理解题。根据第三段“His2023 study in Con
servation Biology re-evaluated extinction risks for 39
known Copiapoa species and subspecies.Shockingly,
76 now qualify as critically endangered or endangered,
a significant increase from prior assessments.2023
年发表于《保护生物学》杂志的研究中,重新评估了39
个已知的科皮亚波亚物种及其亚种的灭绝风险。令人
震惊的是,如今有76%的物种被列为极度濒危或濒危状
态,这一比例较之前的评估有了显著上升。)”可知,大多
数已知的科皮亚波仙人掌现已处于极度濒危或濒危
状态。
4.D「推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Guerrero emphasi
zes urgent conservation steps,including...intervention,
unique cactus types shaped by millions of years of evolu
tion(进化)could disappear within decades..”以及最后一
"For Guerrero,protecting these plants is important
both in terms of science and on a personal level..(对于格
雷罗来说,保护这些植物不仅在科学层面上重要,在个
人层面上也是如此。)”可推断,Guerrero的主要目的是
呼吁保护阿塔卡马的仙人掌。
Ⅱ.[语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何创业
成功提出了一些建议。
l.D[根据上文“Having a business in retirement has nu-
merous advantages.You can generate the extra income.
And as your own boss,you will have the flexibility.Al-
so,you'll have the opportunity to learn new things and
meet new people,.(退休后创业有很多好处。你可以产生
额外的收入。作为自己的老板,你会有很大的灵活性。
此外,你将有机会学习新事物,结识新朋友)”以及下文
“这里是一些建议”可知,本句为过渡句,承上启下说明
如何将创业变成现实,故D选项“那么你怎样才能把这
个幻想变成成功呢?”符合语境,故选D。]
2.G[根据后文“With this information,you'll be able to
tailor your services and products to suit your customers'
needs..(有了这些信息,你就可以定制你的服务和产品来
满足客户的需求)”可知,本句主要说明满足客户需求之
前先要确定目标客户和偏好。故G选项“确定你的目标
客户和他们的购买偏好”符合语境,说明的就是下文的
this information,故选G。]
3,FL根据上文“Consider your financial needs.(考虑你的
财务需求)”以及后文“But they are usually the most
challenging.Without sufficient financial resources,your
business may have a hard time finding its footing.When
determining your financial needs,you must be realistic.
(但它们通常是最具挑战性的。如果没有足够的资金来
源,你的生意可能很难站稳脚跟。在确定你的财务需求
时,你必须现实一点)”可知,本句主要说明创业需要足
够的资金。故F选项“当你开始一项新事业时,你可能
需要足够的资金”符合语境,故选F。]
