专题03 阅读理解（说明文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·新疆塔城地区第一高中学·期中）“Pop” stands for popular, and a pop singer has to work very hard to stay popular. He must either give the public what they want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity. The life of a successful pop singer isn’t easy at all. He can only relax when he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes their enthusiasm (热情) is so hysterical (歇斯底里的) that they do anything to get a souvenir (纪念品). They steal handkerchief, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of unfortunate singer’s hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped (剥) practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes because he must always look smart, or at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious (豪华的) car. And most importantly, he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public. 1.Pop singer works very hard ___________. A. to get attention B. to stay popular C. to get more money D. to sell more records 2.The underlined word “annoying” in the second paragraph means__________. A. lovely B. friendly C. boring D. angry 3.A pop singer has a lot of clothes in order to keep himself _________.

They watch videos, play games, and chat with friends on their phones or computers. While technology is useful, too much screen time can be bad for both physical and mental health. Firstly, looking at screens for a long time can hurt your eyes and make it difficult to sleep well at night. The light from screens tricks your brain into thinking it is still daytime. Secondly, when you are sitting and watching a screen, you are not moving your body. This may lead to weight gain and other health problems. Thirdly, spending too much time in the online world can sometimes make people feel lonely or anxious in the real world. So, what is a healthy amount of screen time? Doctors suggest that young people should have no more than two hours of screen time for fun each day. It is important to take breaks, like the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Try to find other activities you enjoy, such as reading a book, playing a sport, or talking face-to-face with family and friends. Balancing screen time with other activities will help you live a happier and healthier life. 1.How can screen light affect sleep? A. It makes people dream more. B. It makes the brain think it’s daytime. C. It makes people feel too tired to sleep. D. It makes the room too bright. 2.What is the 20-20-20 rule? A. Spend 20 minutes online and 20 minutes offline every day. B. Play games for 20 minutes and then rest for 20 seconds. C. Every 20 minutes, look into the distance for 20 seconds. D. Only watch videos that are 20 minutes long. 3.What does the author suggest young people do? A. Use technology as much as they want. B. Spend more time on outdoor activities. C. Only use computers for studying. D. Balance screen time with other activities. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards screen time? A. It is completely harmful. B. It should be strictly controlled.

It is more important than other activities. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高一上·新疆喀什地区英吉沙县·期中）Scientists from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University are developing a robot “guide dog” to help blind people. The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The extra legs make it more stable and help it move faster. The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a “friend” at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize the traffic lights — real guide dogs are unable to do that. Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said. In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. “We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people,” said Professor Gao Peng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs. 1.Why do scientists develop the robot dog? A. To help blind people. B. To improve AI technology. C. To beat the British bulldog. D. To create a six-legged machine. 2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How the robot dog works. B. Where the robot dog can go. C. What the robot dog can do. D. When the robot dog comes out. 3.How does Li Fei help develop the robot dog? A. He designs it. B. He helps test it. C. He brings it into public places. D. He controls it with a cane. 4.What is Professor Gao Peng’s opinion about the robot dog? A. It can treat blindness. B. It costs a lot of money. C. It has taken the place of real guide dogs. D. It will have a large number of customers. 主题语境03 人与自我-做人与做事 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·新疆疏附县·期中）If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane would leave at 10:50. Surprisingly, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting. The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment. The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travelled in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. 1.When did the author arrive at the airport probably? A. At 9:55. B. At 10:00. C. At 10:05. D. At 10:50. 2.When the author found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he ________. A. asked the driver to give him a free ride B. offered to pay in pounds C. gave the driver some fake (假的) money D. tried to pay by credit card 3.Generally, in May the weather in London is ________. A. warm and dry B. cold and dry C. hot and wet D. cool and rainy 4.What is the text mainly about? A. How to make life easier. B. How to be well prepared for a trip. C. How to enjoy ourselves on a trip. D. How to schedule our trip. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·新疆喀什地区莎车县·期中）Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes produce tears. They create a film (薄膜) over the eyes’ surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection. Tears relieve stress, but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions. They’re afraid that once they lose control, they’ll never get it back,” explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe. “As children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the results of showing emotions.” Almost any emotion (情感) — good or bad, happy or sad — can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely. When some people become very stressed, however, they can’t cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear or grief, but they repress (抑制) the emotion. “Everyone has the need to cry,” says Professor Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients take part in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing the emotion. Diamond says it’s best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcovers or in the car. That’s because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry. In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not suitable. It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion. “But once you are safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry,” Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “once your tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal with the problem.” Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry. 1.What can crying help us? A. It can make us feel energetic. B. It can help us reduce fear. C. It can help us release tension. D. It can let us escape from reality. 2.What can we learn from Vera Diamond’s opinion about crying from time to time? A. It should be valued. B. It must be forgiven. C. It may be avoided. D. It can be practiced. 3.What are you expected to do in a tense business discussion? A. Control your tears. B. Be brave to express your emotions. C. Release your stress with tears. D. Create a comfortable atmosphere. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. How to release stress. B. How to express emotions. C. The value of tears. D. Ways to repress emotions in public. 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·新疆乌鲁木齐第一中学·期中） Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit, and why? Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities, but has a great influence on their school performance. Generally speaking, students show different attitudes depending on where they sit. Based on the research, scientists have developed a funnel-like (像漏斗的) model of “learning zones” to see the relationship between seating and active learning. In this model, the mouth of the funnel (A) is the best position for learning. Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners. They show a greater desire (渴求) for learning, which leads them to focus better and take a more active part than the rest of the class. Those in the neck of the funnel (B) don’t pay the same close attention, but they ask a lot of questions, partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them. Less desirable is the area “outside the funnel” (C, D), which refers to the side and the back rows, where students take a less active part in classroom activities and find it hard to focus their attention, falling asleep at times. Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students. In fact, a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans, such as “U-Type”. There are no side and back areas, so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction (互动). 1.According to scientists, what influences students’ learning greatly? A. The number of students. B. The time of class. C. Seating positions. D. The size of the classroom. 2.Which of the following is the most proper area for learning? A. Area A. B. Area B. C. Area C. D. Area D. 3.It turns out that students sitting in Area B ______. A. sometimes fall asleep B. feel safe and confident C. seldom ask their teachers questions D. try to avoid looking directly at the teacher 4.Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A life newspaper. B. An advertisement. C. An education magazine. D. A science textbook. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·新疆疏附县·期中）Teenage life is not just about studying textbooks. Many students today spend all their free time on homework, but after-school activities play an important role in their growth. A small survey of 500 high school students from three local schools shows that 65% of those who join after-school clubs feel less stressed than those who only study. One student in the survey said, “Club meetings help me forget about exam stress for a while — I feel more relaxed afterward.” Why do some teens avoid after-school activities? One main reason is fear of falling behind in lessons. They think extra time should go to homework or exam practice. Some teens also worry about not being good enough — for example, they might hesitate to join a sports team because they think they’re not fast enough. Another reason is not knowing how to choose — there are so many options like sports teams, art groups or reading clubs. In fact, after-school activities bring great benefits. Sports like basketball or running help teens stay healthy and learn teamwork. Last term, a group of students in the art club organized a small exhibition at school. Their paintings about daily life got lots of praise, and many said they felt proud for the first time. Art clubs, such as painting or music, let them show creativity. Even reading clubs can improve vocabulary and make teens more confident when talking to others. These skills are just as useful as good grades for future life. How can teens make the most of after-school activities? First, pick one or two that they really like — don’t join too many. Second, plan time well: finish homework first, then spend 1-2 hours on the activity. Teachers and parents can also help by supporting their choices, not just pushing for better exam scores. Teenage years are a time to grow in many ways. With the right balance of study and after-school activities, teens can become happier and more capable, getting ready for the challenges ahead. 1.What can we know about the small survey mentioned in the passage? A. It was carried out among 500 students from three national schools. B. It showed most club members have less exam stress than non-members. C. It lasted for one term to track students’ after-school activities. D. It focused on the relationship between hobbies and exam scores. 2.What does the underlined word “hesitate” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Refuse politely. B. Feel unsure and slow to act. C. Decide quickly. D. Argue strongly. 3.What can we infer about parents from the passage? A. They often help teens choose suitable after-school activities. B. They usually push teens to join more art or sports clubs. C. They may pay too much attention to teens’ exam scores. D. They prefer teens to finish homework after club activities. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. The ways to organize colorful after-school activities in schools. B. The reasons why teens should avoid too many after-school clubs. C. The importance of balancing study and after-school activities. D. The relationship between club participation and academic performance. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·乌鲁木齐市第七十中学·期中）In the old libraries of Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves, a 21-year-old computer student named Zhang Wei found something amazing. While studying 50,000 ancient papers scanned (扫描) into computers since 2020, she noticed that 30% had strange marks no one could read. These marks came from old languages once used along the Silk Road. This led her to create “SilkRoad AI” — a computer program that mixes language studies with smart machines to understand forgotten writing. Zhang’s success came from studying stone markers in Xi’an. These stones had the same message in Chinese and two other ancient languages. Her program looked at how the marks were drawn and what they might mean. After months of work, the AI guessed 82% of the unknown marks correctly by matching them to known sounds. But some experts voiced different opinions. Professor Li from Beijing University said, “Computers can’t understand the hidden stories in old writings.” In 2023, Zhang’s team tested their AI at an international history meeting. They used it to read a 1,200-year-old medical book from an ancient kingdom. The computer translated plant names and found 17 types still used in traditional medicine. When scientists checked these findings against modern plant records, they were proved correct. The test helped Zhang get UNESCO’s support to protect disappearing local languages. Now working with the British Museum on ancient Indian writings, Zhang’s AI has helped experts understand 4,000-year-old business records. Her newest idea uses phone cameras — when visitors point their phones at damaged paintings in the Mogao Caves, they can see repaired pictures with computer-translated explanations. “We’re not just solving word puzzles,” Zhang says. “We’re helping people from different times and places talk to each other again.” 1.What led Zhang Wei to create “SilkRoad AI”? A. A program about the Silk Road. B. Her interest in computer science. C. Strange marks on ancient papers. D. Amazing libraries of Mogao Caves. 2.What was Professor Li’s attitude towards Zhang Wei’s methods? A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Unclear. D. Positive. 3.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. A study on traditional medicine. B. An international history meeting. C. The effectiveness of SilkRoad AI. D. The protection of local languages. 4.What can we learn from Zhang’s words in the last paragraph? A. Her newest idea is creative. B. Her work easily solves word puzzles. C. Her AI helps understand business records. D. Her program connects the past and present. 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·新疆维吾尔自治区克拉玛依市高中学·期中）People are flying more than ever. From short trips to traveling around the globe, many of us are on the move. But finding your way at the airport has never been easy in the US, due to crowding and a lot of tasks like checking in, taking care of baggage, screening and finding your gate. It is often difficult to get to where you are going. If you are in a wheelchair or visually challenged, it’s even harder. The new terminal (航站楼) at Kansas City International Airport is designed to fix many of these shortcomings. The new facility features indoor play areas, changing rooms, and a quiet room for people who cannot handle the noise or activity of a busy airport. There is even a pet relief area for people traveling with animals. One innovation is the glass-walled jet bridge for people who are worried about travelling by planes. Moreover, for individuals who experience discomfort with the entire procedure of airports and air travel, there exist virtual simulators (模拟器) that enable these travelers to experience the process of boarding and taking off in a simulated environment. Justin Meyer from the Kansas City Aviation Department stated that the new terminal has set a new standard for inclusivity (包容性) that travelers expect to see in airports. “The goal isn’t that we’re forever at the head of the line,” Meyer said. “My goal was just to improve the standard, so if someone else wants to build the most accessible airport in the world, they have to start from where Kansas City stopped. In the end, passengers win.” While making airports more accessible to people with different abilities may seem to be expensive or difficult, the benefits certainly outweigh the costs. Accessible airports mean that more people and their families will be able to travel and then the skies will be friendly to all. 1.What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To call on airports to improve their services. B. To explain the background to the new terminal. C. To stress the annoyance of frequent air travelers. D. To show the complexity of boarding procedures. 2.Who are most likely to use the glass-walled jet bridge? A. People using a wheelchair. B. People accompanied by a pet. C. People travelling with their babies. D. People suffering from a fear of flying. 3.What can be inferred about the new terminal according to Justin Meyer? A. It needs further improvement. B. It has the best passenger services. C. It aims to lead to any place all over the world. D. It sets a higher standard for airport services. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards the Kansas City International Airport’s practice? A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·新疆昌吉回族自治州第一中学·期中）It may seem hard to believe, but snacking several times a day can improve your health and fitness — exercise snacking, that is. “Exercise snacks” are short bursts of activity — 30 seconds to 5 or 10 minutes max — that include almost any type of movement. Think climbing stairs, walking, cycling, or dancing. Today, many studies prove these mini workouts can make a difference. Doing 15-to 30-second exercise snacks three times daily was shown to improve cardiorespiratory (心和肺的) fitness levels and exercise abilities in inactive adults, according to a small January 2022 study published in the journal Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews. Adults who reported they didn’t do exercise saw a 17% to 18% drop of cancer cases after they began doing just 3.4 to 3.6 minutes of intense (激烈的) physical activity daily, a July 2023 study of 22,398 people found. Their daily physical activity was done in bursts lasting less than one or two minutes. Hitting 4.5 minutes (in total) of intense physical activity each day was connected with a 31% to 32% lower risk of cancer, according to the study published in JAMA Oncology. The advantages of movement also include brain health. Doing even a small amount of easy to hard physical activity every day lowers your risk of dementia (痴呆), according to a March study in JAMDA: The Journal of the Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association. Exercise snacks are a favorite tool used by Dr. Supatra Tovar, owner of Dr. Supatra Tovar & Associates. “I’m a big proponent of behavior change that starts tiny,” Tovar said. “So I like to create behaviors with my customers that are easy, achievable and doable every day of the week.” “Your body is kind of lazy,” said Michael Betts, a personal trainer and director at Train Fitness who’s based in London. “Doing these little exercise snacks reminds your body that it does need to work to keep and improve its overall health.” 1.What can be called an exercise snack according to the text? A. Singing songs with your classmates. B. Turning off the lights before leaving school. C. Jogging without stopping for 20 minutes. D. Rushing to the dining hall for lunch after class. 2.What is one good thing that exercise snacks bring according to the text? A. Lowering cancer risk. B. Improving muscle strength. C. Keeping people away from dementia. D. Improving the heart rate of inactive adults. 3.What does the underlined word “proponent” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Researcher. B. Judge. C. Supporter. D. Explorer. 4.Which of the following may Michael Betts agree? A. Exercise snacks are necessary. B. More daily exercise is needed. C. The body dislikes being active. D. Long workouts are better. 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·新疆尔自治区喀什地区巴楚县第一中·期中）ChatGPT has quickly become popular around the world because of its advanced conversational abilities. It can answer questions, do translations, give the main idea of articles and even write codes (代码) for a computer program. It is as good as a human inside a computer. ChatGPT is making life very convenient. A time might come when people hand it some articles and it makes a well-made report. That could, however, mean job losses. After all, if a computer program can write codes, then it would make a programmer lose his job. That may be a worry, but it is still too early to worry about that. ChatGPT has more advanced learning features, but it still follows the same technological way. Its biggest advantage lies in the ability to turn words into a language from an ocean of data, but it's still not that creative. AI can quickly draw a picture, but that picture will be based on pictures that it has seen. It can also write books about the future, but the books will be based on articles about the future that it has read. In comparison, a human brain imagines the future and then tries hard to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it can't imagine a world of space as humans can. So there is no need to worry too much. By being creative there will be plenty of chances for humans to win over AI. 1.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The world. B. ChatGPT. C. A computer. D. A program. 2.How is the fourth paragraph developed? A. By telling stories. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By making comparisons. 3.Which is the biggest advantage of ChatGPT according to the passage? A. It has its own creativity. B. It has conversational abilities. C. It has more advanced learning features. D. It has the ability to turn words into a language. 4.In which part can you find the passage in a newspaper? A. Sports. B. Science. C. Education. D. Business. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·乌鲁木齐市第七十中学·期中）After waking up at the midnight every day for a week, today you might be told you have insomnia (失眠). But a few generations ago, this may hardly have been reason for concern. Waking in the middle of the night was common, if not the norm, in western preindustrial cultures, according to Roger Ekirch, a professor of history who researched segmented (分段的) sleep. With schedules ruled by the sun rather than clocks and electric lights, people likely went to bed earlier and, instead of a quick, continuous eight hours, may have enjoyed a longer rest period, which included two shorter sleeps broken by a period of wakefulness. But today, with electricity to lengthen our waking hours and alarms to cut short our rest, most people try to sleep in one continuous session. Historical records contain signs of two periods of sleep in humans dating back to hundreds of years. At that time, people would sleep for several hours, and reawaken sometime after midnight for an hour before returning to bed for the second sleep. Some experts believe that this behavior may still be in our nature. In his 1992 pioneering work on the subject, scientist Thomas Wehr observed that, after several weeks of being limited to a dark room for 14 hours per day, nearly all participants had changed into the sleep cycle. In fact, these periods of wakefulness between sleep could even serve as a guard. In one experiment, participants would wake up at a little different times each night and that, usually, there was no time when every single person was asleep. From a developing point of view, this might have served a “guard function” by making sure that there was always someone awake to keep watch for the group. Because sleep is influenced by environmental and social factors, patterns can vary widely among different people. “I mainly don’t think that there’s any one pattern of sleep that is the human sleep pattern,” Russell Foster adds. “I think that adaptability (适应力) is the main feature.” 1.Why did people in the past have a longer rest period? A. They had a free schedule. B. They lived a life without alarms. C. They followed natural laws. D. They formed a weak sense of time. 2.What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The return to sleep. B. The segmented sleep. C. Sleeping for several hours. D. Waking up at a certain time. 3.What is the role of wakefulness between sleep? A. Keeping the group safe. B. Controlling sleep periods. C. Increasing social connection. D. Strengthening sleep adaptability. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. The recorded study on human sleep. B. The science behind segmented sleep. C. How segmented sleep benefits humans. D. How social factors influence sleep patterns. 主题语境04 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高一上·新疆尔自治区喀什地区巴楚县第一中·期中）“I hate school, and I’m not going back!” Have you ever had that thought? Lots of kids have had.Usually this feeling doesn’t last long. But what if you feel this way too much? A kid who feels stressed about school might have headaches or stomachaches. Having trouble sleeping is also a sign of stress. And if you’re not getting enough sleep, you probably feel tired during the day. Feeling tired can make your school day even worse. Sometimes it’s a problem with your classes and schoolwork. Maybe the work is too easy and you get bored. Or maybe the work is too hard, or you don’t feel as clever as the other kids. Reading may be difficult for you, but you are asked to do a lot of it. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem that you will never catch up with others. When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems at school. Your mom, dad, friends, teachers, or even classmates will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feeling about school. For instance, keep a diary or just write in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out emotion that may be stuck inside you. And you don’t have to share what you have written with others. The next time you find yourself disliking school, this will also help you: Make a list of everything you dislike or enjoy—even there is only one thing. See what you can change on “don’t like” list. Could you find a way to show off your special interests and talents on what you like? Which activities could you try that would help you solve these “don’t like” problems? Focus on what you can change and you might be able to put the good feeling back in school! 1.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us the ________ of school stress. A. examples B. signs C. reasons D. causes 2.How many pieces of advice are mentioned in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 3.The sentence “Focus on what you can change” in the reading means ________. A. wait and see B. be friendly to others C. do something to change the condition D. have a positive attitude towards schoolwork 4.This passage is mainly written for ________. A. students B. parents C. teachers D. doctors 主题语境05 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·新疆克拉玛依独山子区第二中学·期中）In many English-speaking countries, people often use some idioms related to animals. These idioms not only add color to the language but also reflect the cultural background of the speakers. Here are some common animal idioms and their meanings. “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” This idiom means that it is better to hold onto something you already have than to risk losing it by trying to get something better that may not be possible to obtain. For example, if you have a job offer that is good enough, it may be wiser to accept it rather than waiting for a better offer that may never come. “It's raining cats and dogs.” This idiom is used to describe very heavy rain. The origin of this phrase is not entirely clear, but some theories suggest that it may have come from the idea that heavy rain could cause cats and dogs to seek shelter and seem to be falling from the sky. “The early bird catches the worm.” This idiom encourages people to be early or prompt. It implies that those who are early or take action quickly will have an advantage or get a reward. For example, if you want to get a good seat in a theater or on a bus, you should arrive early like the early bird. “Let the cat out of the bag.” This idiom means to accidentally reveal a secret. For example, if you tell someone a secret that you were supposed to keep, you have let the cat out of the bag. 1.The idiom “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” suggests that ________. A. we should always try to get something better B. it is better to keep what we have C. we should take risks to get more D. having two things is better than having one 2.If someone arrives early to get a good seat, we can say he is like ________.

A. are only used in English-speaking countries B. have no real meanings C. reflect the cultural background of speakers D. are difficult to understand Passage 2 （25-26高一上·新疆喀什地区英吉沙县·期中）You may not know a lot of people when you start senior high school. Maybe your friends from junior high school are going to a different senior high school. Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生), you still feel anxious that you don’t know any upperclassmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces? Most senior high schools hold the freshman orientation (迎新会) before school actually starts. It is helpful because you not only learn your way around the building but also get to meet some of your teachers and fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces. When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships. The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. It builds on what you learned in junior high school, giving you a more advanced (高深的) knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help. Senior high school also has more after-school activities than junior high school, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things. Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible. 1.How do the freshmen usually feel on their first day of senior high school? A. Proud. B. Excited. C. Nervous D. Curious. 2.What are freshmen probably worried about? A. The ability to make friends. B. The learning task. C. The freshman orientation. D. The relationship with teachers. 3.What do after-school activities mainly help students to do? A. Develop friendships. B. Build up their strength. C. Develop their interests. D. Improve their learning ability. 4.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What you’ll learn in senior high school. B. What you learned in junior high school. C. The importance of being more independent and responsible. D. The difference between junior high school and senior one. 主题语境01 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·新疆塔城地区第一高中学·期中）If you’re looking for an exciting suggestion for your next trip, consider Valencia in Spain!

He's also found how long it will take to deepen a relationship. His new study found that it takes around 50 hours of time together to go from being someone's acquaintance to casual friend. It takes about 90 hours to go from being casual friends to friends, and more than 200 hours before considering someone a close friend or best friend. But it isn't spending just any kind of time together that deepens a friendship—hours spent working together, for example, don't count as much as hours spent getting to know someone by hanging out, joking around, playing video games, and doing more playful activities. The study explains that these kinds of activities help us to form a deeper connection with someone. “We have to put that time in，” Hall said. “You can't make friends without any effort.” The results of the study come from analysis of 355 responses to an online survey from adults who said they had moved in the last six months and were looking for new friends in their new environment. Survey participants were asked about new relationships as well as hours spent together and activities they did. They were then asked to rate their resulting relationships according to one of four stages: acquaintance, casual friend, friend and close friend. The main conclusion that Hall came to is that making close friends takes serious effort. So if you want to have some best friends, you have to know that spending time with someone is the most important thing. 1.How long does it take to turn an acquaintance into a friend? A. About 50 hours. B. About 90 hours. C. About 140 hours. D. About 200 hours. 2.What does the underlined part “that time” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Time spent working together. B. Time spent finding new friends. C. Time spent helping a new friend. D. Time spent doing fun things together. 3.Which may help deepen a friendship according to the study? A. Trying to understand your friend's feelings. B. Enjoying quality time with your friend. C. Treating a new friend like a close one. D. Being generous to your friend. 4.What is the main purpose of the text? A. To solve a relationship problem. B. To introduce a teacher from KU. C. To present the findings of a new study. D. To discuss the importance of friendship. 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高一上·新疆生产建设兵团第二中学·期中）The medical field has always been quick to adopt new technologies. In 2017, Ezekiel Emanuel, a well-known oncologist (肿瘤学家) , predicted that machine learning would soon make radiologists (放射科医生) jobless. However, that hasn’t happened. Instead, artificial intelligence (AI) has greatly changed the field of radiology. About two-thirds of radiology departments in the US use AI in some way. A CT scan of the body includes hundreds of images that radiologists must study. AI tools can sort through these images to figure out which ones are most likely to have abnormalities. A 2023 study in the journal Lancet Oncology also shows the promise of AI in radiology. Over 80,000 women in Sweden were randomly assigned either two radiologists to read their X-rays or one radiologist plus AI and the study found a similar cancer detection rate for both groups. But AI tools aren’t perfect. A 2024 study in Radiology looked at AI’s ability to screen out certain diseases on chest X-rays. Although AI had a high level of accuracy for ruling out disease, when it made a mistake, it was potentially more critical than something missed by a radiologist. Most AI detection products produce false judgements that radiologists are responsible for following up on. “AI that’s focused on detecting abnormalities can actually create more work for the radiologist,” a medical professor Langlotz says. This has discouraged the adoption of some AI algorithms (算法) . Although AI is a hot topic, it has been .part of radiology for decades, says Despina Kontos, a professor of radiological sciences at Columbia University. It used to be called computer-aided diagnosis, but it was essentially doing the same thing. Surely, most experts agree that radiologists won’t be replaced by AI. Instead, they will use the technology to improve their accuracy and speed up their workflow. “AI is going to be a vital part of assisting radiologists in reading studies for a long time,” says Fishman, one of the experts. 1.What is the possible function of AI tools in radiology? A. To replace the need for radiologists. B. To reduce the number of false reports. C. To select images and identify problems. D. To provide a final diagnosis for patients. 2.Why has AI use decreased? A. For poor accuracy. B. For added work to radiologists. C. For official disapproval. D. For doctors’ resistance to new tech. 3.What is the attitude of experts towards AI in radiology? A. Approving. B. Opposed. C. Cautious. D. Concerned. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A. The future of radiology in AI era. B. The role of AI in modern radiology. C. The limitations of AI in medical imaging. D.

And the cost of buying books keeps rising. Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books. Readers can scan (扫描) and upload their books to an online valuation system, and then drop them off at a collection point or have them picked up from their own home, in exchange for credit to be used on other books. Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part. Eric Gagnaire, co-founder of Bookloop, said, “By giving books a second life, we are not only reducing waste but also building a community of readers who value sustainability and support bookshops.” Bookbag, a bookseller that has joined the program, describes it as “a social space” that gathers a global range of fiction and non-fiction writing. “We’re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund. Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers. Kelly argued that most secondhand books should be recycled. “They are either no longer relevant, overly produced, or are left in bad condition,” he said. In response, Bookloop stated that only 2% of collected books end up not being resold-most of the unsold books are donated to local charities, with less than 0.5% recycled. “Getting pre-owned books to new readers while benefiting both bookshops and authors feels extremely positive,” said Gagnaire. “It’s a really sustainable way of getting books into the hands of more people, without cost being a barrier.” 1.What is a requirement for readers to participate in Bookloop? A. Trading their credit for new books. B. Selling used books worth £5 or more. C. Dropping off their books at a local library. D. Uploading personal information to the system. 2.What does Bookbag think of Bookloop? A. It is a win-win initiative. B. It boosts interest in reading. C. It is a well-planned book fair. D. It encourages authors to write. 3.Why is Patrick Kelly mentioned? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To suggest a brand-new resolution. C. To present a contrasting viewpoint. D. To highlight an unusual phenomenon. 4.What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Secondhand Book Trading B. Reducing Waste, Building a Reputation C.

He must either give the public what they want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity. The life of a successful pop singer isn’t easy at all. He can only relax when he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes their enthusiasm (热情) is so hysterical (歇斯底里的) that they do anything to get a souvenir (纪念品). They steal handkerchief, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of unfortunate singer’s hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped (剥) practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes because he must always look smart, or at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious (豪华的) car.

They watch videos, play games, and chat with friends on their phones or computers. While technology is useful, too much screen time can be bad for both physical and mental health. Firstly, looking at screens for a long time can hurt your eyes and make it difficult to sleep well at night. The light from screens tricks your brain into thinking it is still daytime. Secondly, when you are sitting and watching a screen, you are not moving your body. This may lead to weight gain and other health problems. Thirdly, spending too much time in the online world can sometimes make people feel lonely or anxious in the real world. So, what is a healthy amount of screen time? Doctors suggest that young people should have no more than two hours of screen time for fun each day. It is important to take breaks, like the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Try to find other activities you enjoy, such as reading a book, playing a sport, or talking face-to-face with family and friends. Balancing screen time with other activities will help you live a happier and healthier life. 1.How can screen light affect sleep? A. It makes people dream more. B. It makes the brain think it’s daytime. C. It makes people feel too tired to sleep. D. It makes the room too bright. 2.What is the 20-20-20 rule? A.

The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The extra legs make it more stable and help it move faster. The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a “friend” at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize the traffic lights — real guide dogs are unable to do that. Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said. In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. “We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people,” said Professor Gao Peng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs. 1.Why do scientists develop the robot dog? A. To help blind people. B. To improve AI technology. C. To beat the British bulldog. D.

First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane would leave at 10:50. Surprisingly, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting. The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment. The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travelled in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. 1.When did the author arrive at the airport probably? A. At 9:55. B. At 10:00. C. At 10:05. D. At 10:50. 2.When the author found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he ________. A. asked the driver to give him a free ride B. offered to pay in pounds C. gave the driver some fake (假的) money D. tried to pay by credit card 3.Generally, in May the weather in London is ________. A. warm and dry B. cold and dry C. hot and wet D. cool and rainy 4.What is the text mainly about? A. How to make life easier. B. How to be well prepared for a trip. C. How to enjoy ourselves on a trip. D. How to schedule our trip. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D　4.

They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes produce tears. They create a film (薄膜) over the eyes’ surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection. Tears relieve stress, but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions. They’re afraid that once they lose control, they’ll never get it back,” explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe. “As children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the results of showing emotions.” Almost any emotion (情感) — good or bad, happy or sad — can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely. When some people become very stressed, however, they can’t cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear or grief, but they repress (抑制) the emotion. “Everyone has the need to cry,” says Professor Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients take part in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing the emotion. Diamond says it’s best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcovers or in the car. That’s because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry. In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not suitable. It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion. “But once you are safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry,” Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like.

Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities, but has a great influence on their school performance. Generally speaking, students show different attitudes depending on where they sit. Based on the research, scientists have developed a funnel-like (像漏斗的) model of “learning zones” to see the relationship between seating and active learning. In this model, the mouth of the funnel (A) is the best position for learning. Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners. They show a greater desire (渴求) for learning, which leads them to focus better and take a more active part than the rest of the class. Those in the neck of the funnel (B) don’t pay the same close attention, but they ask a lot of questions, partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them. Less desirable is the area “outside the funnel” (C, D), which refers to the side and the back rows, where students take a less active part in classroom activities and find it hard to focus their attention, falling asleep at times. Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students. In fact, a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans, such as “U-Type”. There are no side and back areas, so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction (互动). 1.According to scientists, what influences students’ learning greatly? A. The number of students. B. The time of class. C. Seating positions. D. The size of the classroom. 2.Which of the following is the most proper area for learning? A. Area A. B. Area B. C. Area C. D. Area D. 3.It turns out that students sitting in Area B ______. A. sometimes fall asleep B. feel safe and confident C. seldom ask their teachers questions D. try to avoid looking directly at the teacher 4.Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A life newspaper. B. An advertisement. C. An education magazine. D. A science textbook. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“学习区域”模型：教室座位偏好不仅能反映学生性格，还会极大影响学习表现，科学家据此提出漏斗状学习区域模型，并建议调整传统座位布局以提升学生参与度。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students' personalities, but has a great influence on their school performance (科学家发现，座位偏好不仅能体现学生的性格，还会对他们的学业表现产生重大影响)”可知，座位位置会极大影响学生的学习。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“In this model, the mouth of the funnel (A) is the best position for learning (在这个模型中，漏斗的开口处A区域是最适合学习的位置)”可知，A区域是最适合学习的区域。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Those in the neck of the funnel (B) don’t pay the same close attention, but they ask a lot of questions, partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them (那些在漏斗颈部的人(B)不会给予同样的密切关注，但他们会问很多问题，部分原因是他们在周围有其他人的安全地带感到更加自信)”可知，坐在B区域的学生会感到安全且自信。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段“Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit, and why?(你更喜欢在教室里的哪个位置坐，为什么？)”可知，文章围绕教室座位布局对学生学习的影响展开，属于教育领域的研究内容，因此最可能出自教育类杂志。故选C。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·新疆疏附县·期中）Teenage life is not just about studying textbooks. Many students today spend all their free time on homework, but after-school activities play an important role in their growth. A small survey of 500 high school students from three local schools shows that 65% of those who join after-school clubs feel less stressed than those who only study. One student in the survey said, “Club meetings help me forget about exam stress for a while — I feel more relaxed afterward.” Why do some teens avoid after-school activities? One main reason is fear of falling behind in lessons. They think extra time should go to homework or exam practice. Some teens also worry about not being good enough — for example, they might hesitate to join a sports team because they think they’re not fast enough. Another reason is not knowing how to choose — there are so many options like sports teams, art groups or reading clubs. In fact, after-school activities bring great benefits. Sports like basketball or running help teens stay healthy and learn teamwork. Last term, a group of students in the art club organized a small exhibition at school. Their paintings about daily life got lots of praise, and many said they felt proud for the first time. Art clubs, such as painting or music, let them show creativity. Even reading clubs can improve vocabulary and make teens more confident when talking to others. These skills are just as useful as good grades for future life. How can teens make the most of after-school activities? First, pick one or two that they really like — don’t join too many. Second, plan time well: finish homework first, then spend 1-2 hours on the activity. Teachers and parents can also help by supporting their choices, not just pushing for better exam scores. Teenage years are a time to grow in many ways. With the right balance of study and after-school activities, teens can become happier and more capable, getting ready for the challenges ahead. 1.What can we know about the small survey mentioned in the passage? A. It was carried out among 500 students from three national schools. B. It showed most club members have less exam stress than non-members. C. It lasted for one term to track students’ after-school activities. D. It focused on the relationship between hobbies and exam scores. 2.What does the underlined word “hesitate” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Refuse politely. B. Feel unsure and slow to act. C. Decide quickly. D. Argue strongly. 3.What can we infer about parents from the passage? A. They often help teens choose suitable after-school activities. B. They usually push teens to join more art or sports clubs. C. They may pay too much attention to teens’ exam scores. D. They prefer teens to finish homework after club activities. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. The ways to organize colorful after-school activities in schools. B. The reasons why teens should avoid too many after-school clubs. C. The importance of balancing study and after-school activities. D. The relationship between club participation and academic performance. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了平衡学习与课外活动对青少年的重要性。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A small survey of 500 high school students from three local schools shows that 65% of those who join after-school clubs feel less stressed than those who only study.(一项针对来自三所当地学校的500名高中生的调查显示，65%的参加课外俱乐部的学生比那些只学习的学生压力更小)”可知，调查显示大多数俱乐部成员比非成员的考试压力更小。故选B。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Some teens also worry about not being good enough—for example, they might hesitate to join a sports team because they think they’re not fast enough.(一些青少年也担心自己不够好——例如，他们可能会hesitate是否加入运动队，因为他们认为自己不够快)”可知，他们认为自己不够快，所以此处指担心自己不够好而犹豫是否加入运动队，所以hesitate意思是“犹豫不决，不确定且行动缓慢”。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Teachers and parents can also help by supporting their choices, not just pushing for better exam scores.(老师和家长也可以通过支持他们的选择来提供帮助，而不仅仅是追求更好的考试成绩)”可知，家长可能过于关注青少年的考试成绩。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Teenage years are a time to grow in many ways. With the right balance of study and after-school activities, teens can become happier and more capable, getting ready for the challenges ahead.(青少年时期是各方面成长的时期。通过平衡学习和课外活动，青少年可以变得更快乐、更有能力，为未来的挑战做好准备)”可知，本文主要讲述了平衡学习和课外活动的重要性。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·乌鲁木齐市第七十中学·期中）In the old libraries of Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves, a 21-year-old computer student named Zhang Wei found something amazing. While studying 50,000 ancient papers scanned (扫描) into computers since 2020, she noticed that 30% had strange marks no one could read. These marks came from old languages once used along the Silk Road. This led her to create “SilkRoad AI” — a computer program that mixes language studies with smart machines to understand forgotten writing. Zhang’s success came from studying stone markers in Xi’an. These stones had the same message in Chinese and two other ancient languages. Her program looked at how the marks were drawn and what they might mean. After months of work, the AI guessed 82% of the unknown marks correctly by matching them to known sounds. But some experts voiced different opinions. Professor Li from Beijing University said, “Computers can’t understand the hidden stories in old writings.” In 2023, Zhang’s team tested their AI at an international history meeting. They used it to read a 1,200-year-old medical book from an ancient kingdom. The computer translated plant names and found 17 types still used in traditional medicine. When scientists checked these findings against modern plant records, they were proved correct. The test helped Zhang get UNESCO’s support to protect disappearing local languages. Now working with the British Museum on ancient Indian writings, Zhang’s AI has helped experts understand 4,000-year-old business records. Her newest idea uses phone cameras — when visitors point their phones at damaged paintings in the Mogao Caves, they can see repaired pictures with computer-translated explanations. “We’re not just solving word puzzles,” Zhang says. “We’re helping people from different times and places talk to each other again.” 1.What led Zhang Wei to create “SilkRoad AI”? A. A program about the Silk Road. B. Her interest in computer science. C. Strange marks on ancient papers. D. Amazing libraries of Mogao Caves. 2.What was Professor Li’s attitude towards Zhang Wei’s methods? A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Unclear. D. Positive. 3.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. A study on traditional medicine. B. An international history meeting. C. The effectiveness of SilkRoad AI. D. The protection of local languages. 4.What can we learn from Zhang’s words in the last paragraph? A. Her newest idea is creative. B. Her work easily solves word puzzles. C. Her AI helps understand business records. D. Her program connects the past and present. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. C　4.

From short trips to traveling around the globe, many of us are on the move. But finding your way at the airport has never been easy in the US, due to crowding and a lot of tasks like checking in, taking care of baggage, screening and finding your gate. It is often difficult to get to where you are going. If you are in a wheelchair or visually challenged, it’s even harder. The new terminal (航站楼) at Kansas City International Airport is designed to fix many of these shortcomings. The new facility features indoor play areas, changing rooms, and a quiet room for people who cannot handle the noise or activity of a busy airport. There is even a pet relief area for people traveling with animals. One innovation is the glass-walled jet bridge for people who are worried about travelling by planes. Moreover, for individuals who experience discomfort with the entire procedure of airports and air travel, there exist virtual simulators (模拟器) that enable these travelers to experience the process of boarding and taking off in a simulated environment. Justin Meyer from the Kansas City Aviation Department stated that the new terminal has set a new standard for inclusivity (包容性) that travelers expect to see in airports. “The goal isn’t that we’re forever at the head of the line,” Meyer said. “My goal was just to improve the standard, so if someone else wants to build the most accessible airport in the world, they have to start from where Kansas City stopped. In the end, passengers win.” While making airports more accessible to people with different abilities may seem to be expensive or difficult, the benefits certainly outweigh the costs. Accessible airports mean that more people and their families will be able to travel and then the skies will be friendly to all. 1.What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To call on airports to improve their services. B. To explain the background to the new terminal. C. To stress the annoyance of frequent air travelers. D. To show the complexity of boarding procedures. 2.Who are most likely to use the glass-walled jet bridge? A. People using a wheelchair. B. People accompanied by a pet. C. People travelling with their babies. D. People suffering from a fear of flying. 3.What can be inferred about the new terminal according to Justin Meyer? A. It needs further improvement. B. It has the best passenger services. C. It aims to lead to any place all over the world. D. It sets a higher standard for airport services. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards the Kansas City International Airport’s practice? A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了堪萨斯城国际机场的新航站楼通过多项创新设计提升包容性，为不同需求的旅客提供便利，并树立了新的机场服务标准。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“People are flying more than ever.

Think climbing stairs, walking, cycling, or dancing. Today, many studies prove these mini workouts can make a difference. Doing 15-to 30-second exercise snacks three times daily was shown to improve cardiorespiratory (心和肺的) fitness levels and exercise abilities in inactive adults, according to a small January 2022 study published in the journal Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews. Adults who reported they didn’t do exercise saw a 17% to 18% drop of cancer cases after they began doing just 3.4 to 3.6 minutes of intense (激烈的) physical activity daily, a July 2023 study of 22,398 people found. Their daily physical activity was done in bursts lasting less than one or two minutes. Hitting 4.5 minutes (in total) of intense physical activity each day was connected with a 31% to 32% lower risk of cancer, according to the study published in JAMA Oncology. The advantages of movement also include brain health. Doing even a small amount of easy to hard physical activity every day lowers your risk of dementia (痴呆), according to a March study in JAMDA: The Journal of the Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association. Exercise snacks are a favorite tool used by Dr. Supatra Tovar, owner of Dr. Supatra Tovar & Associates. “I’m a big proponent of behavior change that starts tiny,” Tovar said. “So I like to create behaviors with my customers that are easy, achievable and doable every day of the week.” “Your body is kind of lazy,” said Michael Betts, a personal trainer and director at Train Fitness who’s based in London. “Doing these little exercise snacks reminds your body that it does need to work to keep and improve its overall health.” 1.What can be called an exercise snack according to the text? A. Singing songs with your classmates. B. Turning off the lights before leaving school. C. Jogging without stopping for 20 minutes. D. Rushing to the dining hall for lunch after class. 2.What is one good thing that exercise snacks bring according to the text? A. Lowering cancer risk. B. Improving muscle strength. C. Keeping people away from dementia. D. Improving the heart rate of inactive adults. 3.What does the underlined word “proponent” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Researcher. B. Judge. C. Supporter. D. Explorer. 4.Which of the following may Michael Betts agree? A. Exercise snacks are necessary. B. More daily exercise is needed. C. The body dislikes being active. D. Long workouts are better. 【答案】1.

(做这些小小的“运动零食”会提醒你的身体，它确实需要通过活动来维持并改善整体健康状况。)”可知，他认为“运动零食”能提醒身体维持和改善整体健康。因此，他应是认可“运动零食是必要的”这一观点。故选 A 项。 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·新疆尔自治区喀什地区巴楚县第一中·期中）ChatGPT has quickly become popular around the world because of its advanced conversational abilities. It can answer questions, do translations, give the main idea of articles and even write codes (代码) for a computer program. It is as good as a human inside a computer. ChatGPT is making life very convenient. A time might come when people hand it some articles and it makes a well-made report. That could, however, mean job losses. After all, if a computer program can write codes, then it would make a programmer lose his job. That may be a worry, but it is still too early to worry about that. ChatGPT has more advanced learning features, but it still follows the same technological way. Its biggest advantage lies in the ability to turn words into a language from an ocean of data, but it's still not that creative. AI can quickly draw a picture, but that picture will be based on pictures that it has seen. It can also write books about the future, but the books will be based on articles about the future that it has read. In comparison, a human brain imagines the future and then tries hard to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it can't imagine a world of space as humans can. So there is no need to worry too much. By being creative there will be plenty of chances for humans to win over AI. 1.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The world. B.

But a few generations ago, this may hardly have been reason for concern. Waking in the middle of the night was common, if not the norm, in western preindustrial cultures, according to Roger Ekirch, a professor of history who researched segmented (分段的) sleep. With schedules ruled by the sun rather than clocks and electric lights, people likely went to bed earlier and, instead of a quick, continuous eight hours, may have enjoyed a longer rest period, which included two shorter sleeps broken by a period of wakefulness. But today, with electricity to lengthen our waking hours and alarms to cut short our rest, most people try to sleep in one continuous session. Historical records contain signs of two periods of sleep in humans dating back to hundreds of years. At that time, people would sleep for several hours, and reawaken sometime after midnight for an hour before returning to bed for the second sleep. Some experts believe that this behavior may still be in our nature. In his 1992 pioneering work on the subject, scientist Thomas Wehr observed that, after several weeks of being limited to a dark room for 14 hours per day, nearly all participants had changed into the sleep cycle. In fact, these periods of wakefulness between sleep could even serve as a guard. In one experiment, participants would wake up at a little different times each night and that, usually, there was no time when every single person was asleep. From a developing point of view, this might have served a “guard function” by making sure that there was always someone awake to keep watch for the group. Because sleep is influenced by environmental and social factors, patterns can vary widely among different people. “I mainly don’t think that there’s any one pattern of sleep that is the human sleep pattern,” Russell Foster adds. “I think that adaptability (适应力) is the main feature.” 1.Why did people in the past have a longer rest period? A. They had a free schedule. B. They lived a life without alarms. C. They followed natural laws. D. They formed a weak sense of time. 2.What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The return to sleep. B. The segmented sleep. C. Sleeping for several hours. D. Waking up at a certain time. 3.What is the role of wakefulness between sleep? A. Keeping the group safe. B. Controlling sleep periods. C. Increasing social connection. D. Strengthening sleep adaptability. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. The recorded study on human sleep. B. The science behind segmented sleep. C. How segmented sleep benefits humans. D. How social factors influence sleep patterns. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人类睡眠模式的变化，从过去以自然规律为主导的分段睡眠，到现代因电力和闹钟影响而形成的连续睡眠模式，同时探讨了社会因素对睡眠模式的影响。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“With schedules ruled by the sun rather than clocks and electric lights, people likely went to bed earlier and, instead of a quick, continuous eight hours, may have enjoyed a longer rest period, which included two shorter sleeps broken by a period of wakefulness.(在依循日出日落而非钟表与电灯安排作息的年代，人们往往更早就寝。他们的睡眠并非连续且完整的八小时睡眠，而是包含两段较短睡眠、中间伴有清醒时段的长时休息)”可知，过去的人有更长的休息时间是因为他们遵循自然规律。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Historical records contain signs of two periods of sleep in humans dating back to hundreds of years. At that time, people would sleep for several hours, and reawaken sometime after midnight for an hour before returning to bed for the second sleep.(历史记录中包含着人类数百年来两个睡眠阶段的迹象。那时，人们会睡上几个小时，然后在午夜后的某个时刻醒来一个小时，然后再回到床上进行第二次睡眠)”和“Some experts believe that this behavior may still be in our nature.(一些专家认为，这种行为可能仍然存在于我们的天性中)”可知，第三段主要介绍了人类历史上分段睡眠的现象，并指出一些专家认为这种行为可能仍然存在于我们的天性中。由此推知，this behavior指代的是上文说到的“分段睡眠”。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In fact, these periods of wakefulness between sleep could even serve as a guard. In one experiment, participants would wake up at a little different times each night and that, usually, there was no time when every single person was asleep. From a developing point of view, this might have served a “guard function” by making sure that there was always someone awake to keep watch for the group.(事实上，这些睡眠间歇的清醒时段甚至能起到守卫作用。某项研究显示，参与者每晚的觉醒时间各不相同，且通常不会出现全员同时沉睡的情况。从演化的视角来看，这种睡眠模式可能天然具备“警戒功能”——确保群体中始终有人保持警觉值守)”可知，睡眠之间的清醒状态的作用是保证群体的安全。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“With schedules ruled by the sun rather than clocks and electric lights, people likely went to bed earlier and, instead of a quick, continuous eight hours, may have enjoyed a longer rest period, which included two shorter sleeps broken by a period of wakefulness. But today, with electricity to lengthen our waking hours and alarms to cut short our rest, most people try to sleep in one continuous session.(在依循日出日落而非钟表与电灯安排作息的年代，人们往往更早就寝。他们的睡眠并非连续且完整的八小时睡眠，而是包含两段较短睡眠、中间伴有清醒时段的长时休息。但在当今时代，电力延长了清醒时光，闹钟截断了休息周期，多数人转而追求连续不间断的单次睡眠)”和最后一段“Because sleep is influenced by environmental and social factors, patterns can vary widely among different people. “I mainly don’t think that there’s any one pattern of sleep that is the human sleep pattern,” Russell Foster adds. “I think that adaptability (适应力) is the main feature.”(由于睡眠受到环境与社会因素的双重影响，不同个体的睡眠模式可能存在显著差异。“我始终认为，并不存在某种统一的人类睡眠模式，”罗素·福斯特补充道，“适应力才是其最根本的特征。”)”可知，本文主要讨论了社会因素是如何影响人类睡眠模式的。故选D项。 主题语境04 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高一上·新疆尔自治区喀什地区巴楚县第一中·期中）“I hate school, and I’m not going back!” Have you ever had that thought? Lots of kids have had.Usually this feeling doesn’t last long. But what if you feel this way too much? A kid who feels stressed about school might have headaches or stomachaches. Having trouble sleeping is also a sign of stress. And if you’re not getting enough sleep, you probably feel tired during the day. Feeling tired can make your school day even worse. Sometimes it’s a problem with your classes and schoolwork. Maybe the work is too easy and you get bored. Or maybe the work is too hard, or you don’t feel as clever as the other kids. Reading may be difficult for you, but you are asked to do a lot of it. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem that you will never catch up with others. When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems at school. Your mom, dad, friends, teachers, or even classmates will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feeling about school. For instance, keep a diary or just write in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out emotion that may be stuck inside you. And you don’t have to share what you have written with others. The next time you find yourself disliking school, this will also help you: Make a list of everything you dislike or enjoy—even there is only one thing. See what you can change on “don’t like” list. Could you find a way to show off your special interests and talents on what you like? Which activities could you try that would help you solve these “don’t like” problems? Focus on what you can change and you might be able to put the good feeling back in school! 1.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us the ________ of school stress. A. examples B. signs C. reasons D. causes 2.How many pieces of advice are mentioned in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D.

These idioms not only add color to the language but also reflect the cultural background of the speakers. Here are some common animal idioms and their meanings. “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” This idiom means that it is better to hold onto something you already have than to risk losing it by trying to get something better that may not be possible to obtain. For example, if you have a job offer that is good enough, it may be wiser to accept it rather than waiting for a better offer that may never come. “It's raining cats and dogs.” This idiom is used to describe very heavy rain. The origin of this phrase is not entirely clear, but some theories suggest that it may have come from the idea that heavy rain could cause cats and dogs to seek shelter and seem to be falling from the sky. “The early bird catches the worm.” This idiom encourages people to be early or prompt. It implies that those who are early or take action quickly will have an advantage or get a reward. For example, if you want to get a good seat in a theater or on a bus, you should arrive early like the early bird. “Let the cat out of the bag.” This idiom means to accidentally reveal a secret. For example, if you tell someone a secret that you were supposed to keep, you have let the cat out of the bag. 1.The idiom “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” suggests that ________. A. we should always try to get something better B. it is better to keep what we have C. we should take risks to get more D. having two things is better than having one 2.If someone arrives early to get a good seat, we can say he is like ________. A. a bird in the hand B. a cat out of the bag C. the early bird D. a dog in the manger 3.If you accidentally tell a secret, you have ________.

For example, if you have a job offer that is good enough, it may be wiser to accept it rather than waiting for a better offer that may never come. (这个成语的意思是，与其冒着失去的风险去争取更好的东西，还不如紧紧抓住你已经拥有的东西。例如，如果你有一个足够好的工作机会，接受它可能比等待一个可能永远不会到来的更好的工作机会更明智。)”可知，“一鸟在手胜过双鸟在林”这句成语的意思是，我们最好保持现有的东西。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This idiom encourages people to be early or prompt. It implies that those who are early or take action quickly will have an advantage or get a reward. For example, if you want to get a good seat in a theater or on a bus, you should arrive early like the early bird.

Maybe your friends from junior high school are going to a different senior high school. Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生), you still feel anxious that you don’t know any upperclassmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces? Most senior high schools hold the freshman orientation (迎新会) before school actually starts. It is helpful because you not only learn your way around the building but also get to meet some of your teachers and fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces. When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships. The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. It builds on what you learned in junior high school, giving you a more advanced (高深的) knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help. Senior high school also has more after-school activities than junior high school, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things. Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible. 1.How do the freshmen usually feel on their first day of senior high school? A. Proud. B. Excited. C. Nervous D. Curious. 2.What are freshmen probably worried about? A. The ability to make friends. B. The learning task. C. The freshman orientation. D. The relationship with teachers. 3.What do after-school activities mainly help students to do? A. Develop friendships. B. Build up their strength. C. Develop their interests. D. Improve their learning ability. 4.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What you’ll learn in senior high school. B. What you learned in junior high school. C. The importance of being more independent and responsible. D. The difference between junior high school and senior one. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要针对高一新生刚入学时可能面临的问题，提供了一些实用建议，并对比初高中差异，帮助新生更好地适应高中生活。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生), you still feel anxious that you don’t know any upperclassmen.

He's also found how long it will take to deepen a relationship. His new study found that it takes around 50 hours of time together to go from being someone's acquaintance to casual friend. It takes about 90 hours to go from being casual friends to friends, and more than 200 hours before considering someone a close friend or best friend. But it isn't spending just any kind of time together that deepens a friendship—hours spent working together, for example, don't count as much as hours spent getting to know someone by hanging out, joking around, playing video games, and doing more playful activities. The study explains that these kinds of activities help us to form a deeper connection with someone. “We have to put that time in，” Hall said. “You can't make friends without any effort.” The results of the study come from analysis of 355 responses to an online survey from adults who said they had moved in the last six months and were looking for new friends in their new environment. Survey participants were asked about new relationships as well as hours spent together and activities they did. They were then asked to rate their resulting relationships according to one of four stages: acquaintance, casual friend, friend and close friend. The main conclusion that Hall came to is that making close friends takes serious effort. So if you want to have some best friends, you have to know that spending time with someone is the most important thing. 1.How long does it take to turn an acquaintance into a friend? A. About 50 hours. B. About 90 hours. C. About 140 hours. D. About 200 hours. 2.What does the underlined part “that time” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Time spent working together. B. Time spent finding new friends. C. Time spent helping a new friend. D. Time spent doing fun things together. 3.Which may help deepen a friendship according to the study? A. Trying to understand your friend's feelings. B. Enjoying quality time with your friend. C. Treating a new friend like a close one. D. Being generous to your friend. 4.What is the main purpose of the text? A. To solve a relationship problem. B. To introduce a teacher from KU. C. To present the findings of a new study. D. To discuss the importance of friendship. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4.

In 2017, Ezekiel Emanuel, a well-known oncologist (肿瘤学家) , predicted that machine learning would soon make radiologists (放射科医生) jobless. However, that hasn’t happened. Instead, artificial intelligence (AI) has greatly changed the field of radiology. About two-thirds of radiology departments in the US use AI in some way. A CT scan of the body includes hundreds of images that radiologists must study. AI tools can sort through these images to figure out which ones are most likely to have abnormalities. A 2023 study in the journal Lancet Oncology also shows the promise of AI in radiology. Over 80,000 women in Sweden were randomly assigned either two radiologists to read their X-rays or one radiologist plus AI and the study found a similar cancer detection rate for both groups. But AI tools aren’t perfect. A 2024 study in Radiology looked at AI’s ability to screen out certain diseases on chest X-rays. Although AI had a high level of accuracy for ruling out disease, when it made a mistake, it was potentially more critical than something missed by a radiologist. Most AI detection products produce false judgements that radiologists are responsible for following up on. “AI that’s focused on detecting abnormalities can actually create more work for the radiologist,” a medical professor Langlotz says. This has discouraged the adoption of some AI algorithms (算法) . Although AI is a hot topic, it has been .part of radiology for decades, says Despina Kontos, a professor of radiological sciences at Columbia University. It used to be called computer-aided diagnosis, but it was essentially doing the same thing. Surely, most experts agree that radiologists won’t be replaced by AI. Instead, they will use the technology to improve their accuracy and speed up their workflow. “AI is going to be a vital part of assisting radiologists in reading studies for a long time,” says Fishman, one of the experts. 1.What is the possible function of AI tools in radiology? A. To replace the need for radiologists. B. To reduce the number of false reports. C. To select images and identify problems. D. To provide a final diagnosis for patients. 2.Why has AI use decreased? A. For poor accuracy. B. For added work to radiologists. C. For official disapproval. D. For doctors’ resistance to new tech. 3.What is the attitude of experts towards AI in radiology? A. Approving. B. Opposed. C. Cautious. D. Concerned. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A. The future of radiology in AI era. B. The role of AI in modern radiology. C. The limitations of AI in medical imaging. D. The impact of AI on radiologists’ workload. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能在放射学领域的应用，包括其作用、局限性以及专家对其的态度。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A CT scan of the body includes hundreds of images that radiologists must study. AI tools can sort through these images to figure out which ones are most likely to have abnormalities.(身体的CT扫描包括数百张图像，放射科医生必须研究这些图像。人工智能工具可以对这些图像进行分类，找出最有可能有异常的图像)”可知，人工智能工具在放射学中的可能作用是选择图像并识别问题。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Most AI detection products produce false judgements that radiologists are responsible for following up on. “AI that’s focused on detecting abnormalities can actually create more work for the radiologist,” a medical professor Langlotz says. This has discouraged the adoption of some AI algorithms (算法). (大多数人工智能检测产品会产生错误的判断，放射科医生需要负责跟进。医学教授朗洛茨说：“专注于检测异常的人工智能实际上可能为放射科医生带来更多的工作量。”这阻碍了一些人工智能算法的采用)”可知，人工智能会给放射科医生增加了工作量，这导致了使用人工智能工具的减少。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Surely, most experts agree that radiologists won’t be replaced by AI. Instead, they will use the technology to improve their accuracy and speed up their workflow.(当然，大多数专家都认为放射科医生不会被人工智能取代。相反，他们将使用这项技术来提高准确性并加快工作流程)”可知，大多数专家认为人工智能在放射学中的应用能提高准确性并加快工作流程，对其持赞成态度。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“However, that hasn’t happened. Instead, artificial intelligence (AI) has greatly changed the field of radiology.(然而，这并没有发生。相反，人工智能(AI)极大地改变了放射学领域)”和最后一段中“Surely, most experts agree that radiologists won’t be replaced by AI. Instead, they will use the technology to improve their accuracy and speed up their workflow. “AI is going to be a vital part of assisting radiologists in reading studies for a long time,” says Fishman, one of the experts. (当然，大多数专家都认为，放射科医生不会被人工智能取代。相反，他们将利用这项技术来提高准确性，加快工作流程。其中一位专家菲什曼表示：“在很长一段时间内，人工智能将成为协助放射科医生阅片的重要组成部分。”)”可知，文章主要介绍了人工智能在现代放射学中的作用。故B项“The role of AI in modern radiology.(人工智能在现代放射学中的作用)”是对文章内容的概括。故选B项。 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·新疆生产建设兵团第二中学·期中）If you are an enthusiastic reader, you may not have enough room to store all the books you read. And the cost of buying books keeps rising. Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books. Readers can scan (扫描) and upload their books to an online valuation system, and then drop them off at a collection point or have them picked up from their own home, in exchange for credit to be used on other books. Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part. Eric Gagnaire, co-founder of Bookloop, said, “By giving books a second life, we are not only reducing waste but also building a community of readers who value sustainability and support bookshops.” Bookbag, a bookseller that has joined the program, describes it as “a social space” that gathers a global range of fiction and non-fiction writing. “We’re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund. Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers. Kelly argued that most secondhand books should be recycled. “They are either no longer relevant, overly produced, or are left in bad condition,” he said. In response, Bookloop stated that only 2% of collected books end up not being resold-most of the unsold books are donated to local charities, with less than 0.5% recycled. “Getting pre-owned books to new readers while benefiting both bookshops and authors feels extremely positive,” said Gagnaire. “It’s a really sustainable way of getting books into the hands of more people, without cost being a barrier.” 1.What is a requirement for readers to participate in Bookloop? A. Trading their credit for new books. B. Selling used books worth £5 or more. C. Dropping off their books at a local library. D. Uploading personal information to the system. 2.What does Bookbag think of Bookloop? A. It is a win-win initiative. B. It boosts interest in reading. C. It is a well-planned book fair. D. It encourages authors to write. 3.Why is Patrick Kelly mentioned? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To suggest a brand-new resolution. C. To present a contrasting viewpoint. D. To highlight an unusual phenomenon. 4.What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Secondhand Book Trading B. Reducing Waste, Building a Reputation C. Bookloop: A Second Life for Used Books D. Innovating Reading: The Bookloop Initiative 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国一个名为Bookloop的在线图书回购项目。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part.(参加活动的读者必须卖出至少价值5英镑的书)”可知，读者参与Bookloop的要求是出售价值5英镑或以上的旧书。故选B。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中““We’re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund.(他们说：“我们很高兴看到这个项目，它感觉是经过深思熟虑的，是重新利用书籍、帮助维持书店和新书购买的好方法。”作者也将从该计划中受益，因为这些二手书销售的版税将通过共享作者基金重新分配)”可知，Bookbag认为Bookloop项目是一个双赢的举措，既重新利用了书籍，又帮助维持了书店的运营和促进了新书的购买。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers.(然而，并不是所有人都对Bookloop的推出持积极态度。布里克斯顿Bookmongers的老板Patrick Kelly等一些二手书商担心，到底有多少书会卖给读者)”可推知，文章提到Patrick Kelly是为了呈现一个与Bookloop项目积极评价相对比的观点，即有人对二手书的销售数量表示担忧。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books.(现在英国有了一个完美的解决方案：Bookloop。这是一个与现有书商合作的在线回购项目，读者可以用他们已经读过的书换取信用或更多的二手书)”可知，文章主要介绍了英国的一个在线二手书回购项目Bookloop，该项目旨在通过给书籍第二次生命来减少浪费，并建立一个重视可持续性和支持书店的读者社区，C选项“Bookloop: A Second Life for Used Books(Bookloop：二手书的第二次生命)”能很好地概括文章主要内容，是文章的最佳标题。故选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题03阅读理解（说明文） 基础必练 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.C3.B4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.B2.C3.D4.C 主题语境02人与社会-科学与技术 【答案】1.A2.C3.B4.D 主题语境03人与自我-做人与做事 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.B3.D4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.D3.A4.C 主题语境04人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.C2.A3.B4.C 进阶提升 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.B3.C4.C 1/3 可学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.A3.C4.D 主题语境02人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.D3.D4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.A3.C4.A 主题语境03人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.D3.D4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.B3.A4.D 主题语境04人与自我-做人与做事 【答案】1.B2.B3.C4.A 主题语境05人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.C3.A4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.B3.C4.D 拓展培优 主题语境01人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 【答案】1.C2.B3.D4.A 213 函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 主题语境02人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 【答案】1.C2.D3.B4.C 主题语境03人与社会-科学与技术 【答案】1.C2.B3.A4.B 主题语境04人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.B2.A3.C4.C 3/3
