专题02 阅读理解（说明文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·福建三明四校联考·期中）In the age of the selfie, taking photos of yourself has become a daily activity. Half of all teenagers regularly post selfies. But what happens when the desire for the best selfie starts damaging nature—or even ourselves? Social media tourism is dramatically changing who visits natural places like Figure Eight Pools in Sydney’s Royal National Park. Many people are now drawn to these places for the best selfie background. These new tourists, motivated to seek out photos and selfies, sometimes ignore warning signs or bans on drones (无人机). Thus, many people have been severely injured or killed by taking risky selfies and photos in dangerous locations. Additionally, drone use can cause environmental harm if drones catch fire or batteries leak. The search for the perfect selfie can also harm animals, protected plants and even First Nations rock art. In some cases, selfies have become a long-term threat to ecosystems. But for land managers, perhaps the biggest challenge is satisfying increased interest while keeping people safe. They are working to assist this new demand by reshaping nature to make better scenery—and keep visitors safer. At Moran Falls in Queensland’s Lamington National Park, a famous view had been blocked by plants, driving some visitors to jump the fence at the viewing platform and stand directly on top of a very tall cliff (悬崖). As a solution, land managers have the trees trimmed (修剪) and then use the fallen branches to hide the track made by selfie-seekers. These land managers are wondering why traditional measures like signs and warnings often prove ineffective? The answer may lie in social recognition For many, the risk seems worth the reward if it means gaining admiration on social media. Nature-based content on popular social media platforms like TikTok often performs very well, giving other would-be influencers the motive to seek out new locations. This problem has been created by the combination of social media and human psychology. To solve it, we might look at how these two factors interact. Responsible selfie and tourism campaigns on popular social media platforms could be a start. 1.Why are many people attracted to visit places like Figure Eight Pools? A. To appreciate the natural beauty. B. To seek adventure and excitement. C. To search for the ideal selfie setting. D. To test the use of drones for photography. 2.How is Paragraph 4 developed? A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples. C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons. 3.What leads to the failure of traditional measures? A. Risks are often ignored by people B. Rules are rarely followed by people. C. Exploring new attractions is preferred. D. Social media attention is valued more. 4.What solution is suggested in the last paragraph? A. Launching tourism campaigns B. Promoting proper behaviors online C. Banning selfies in natural landscape. D. Restricting access to social media platforms. 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建泉州第五中学·期中）The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit. ● Bah Humbug 10K, 1 December Do yourself a favour and bring towels and plastic bags with you, because every bit of gear you wear during this event is likely to be caked with mud by the end. Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners. racebest. com ● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies. sueryder. org ● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find. eventrac. co. uk ● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance. mstevents. co. uk 1.Which website offers information for night run participants?

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建三明四校联考·期中）Walking has long been thought of as one of the best exercises for whole health. This activity can strengthen your heart, lower your blood pressure, keep your bones strong and burn calories. When walking outside, you gain the extra benefits that come from spending time in nature, but it's not always possible to take your daily exercise outside. When the weather or other factors drive you indoors, consider a treadmill (跑步机) workout instead. Treadmills are among the top three most popular pieces of equipment at US health clubs, according to the 2022 IHRSA Health Club Consumer Report. Before you jump on a treadmill and begin walking at your preferred pace, however, consider a workout where you change both the pace and incline (坡度), which can result in much more productive training. For those who can change both their walking speed and the treadmill incline, fitness experts recommend some types of interval training, which involves repeatedly exchanging the intensity (强度) of your workout and/or the activities you're doing. Gillian Dalby, vice president of fitness at CAZ Training Club in Newport Beach, offered two easy possibilities. Get on a treadmill and do one minute of walking, one minute of jogging and one minute of running for a total of 18 minutes by turns. "This keeps your mind busy, and it's an incredible way to build speed," Dalby said. Walk for one minute with no incline, one minute at a 4% incline and one minute at 8%, then repeat this sequence five times. If either workout is easy, double the time to 36 minutes or do both back-to-back. "If your gym has both kinds of treadmills, try both out," Dalby said. "At the end of the day, what will keep you continuing with your workouts and stay enjoyable? The more fun you have working out, the more likely you are to continue your fitness journey." 1.Why does the writer mention walking outside in paragraph 1? A. To advise readers to work out every day. B. To explain the benefits of walking outside. C. To sell a kind of fashionable fitness equipment. D. To introduce walking on a treadmill to readers. 2.What does the underlined word "sequence" in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. The rule that a coach teaches. B. The result that is interesting. C. The routine that works out effectively. D. The order in which actions happen. 3.Which of the following will Dalby agree with? A. Continuous workout leads to your high mood. B. People should keep themselves active and happy all day. C. Enjoying themselves will make people keep on exercising. D. All gyms should be equipped with different kinds of treadmills. 4.Which is the best title for the text? A. What Benefits Can Treadmills Bring Humans? B. Does Walking Really Benefit People Greatly? C. How Many Types of Treadmills Are Popular at Health Clubs? D. How Can People Burn Calories by Exercising on a Treadmill? 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建厦门第一中学·期中）Many dog owners believe their pets understand and respond not only to commands such as “sit” and “stay, ” but also to words referring to their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that. But science has had trouble determining whether dogs really activate (激活) a mental image in their minds when they hear the name of an object. A new study has found that beyond being able to respond to commands like “roll over, ” dogs can learn to connect words with specific objects — a relationship with language called referential understanding that had been unproven in dogs until now. The study involved 18 dogs and a procedure using electrodes (电极) attached to dogs’ heads to measure brain activity and register brain waves. Dog owners participating in the study would play a voice recording in which they said the name of their dog’s toy — like “ball” — and then they would show the dog an object. The researchers measured the dogs’ brain activity when the object in the recording matched the object that was displayed, and also when it differed. “We expected that if a dog really understands the meaning of the object’s word, it will expect to see that object. And if the owner shows a different one, there will be a so-called surprise reaction in the brain, ” Boros said. The study found a different brain pattern when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word, compared to when it didn’t — suggesting the animals formed a mental image of an object based on hearing the word for it. The study supports “theories of language evolution (进化) which actually say that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans,” added Magyari, an associate professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway. While the study has received praise, some experts have expressed doubts about its findings. Behavioral scientist and professor of psychology, Clive Wynne, said in a post onFacebook that he believes that all the study shows is that dogs respond to stimuli (刺激) — but that they don’t actually understand the meaning of specific words. 1.What has puzzled scientists about dogs? A. How dogs activate mental images in mind. B. How dogs respond to their favorite objects. C. Whether dogs can connect words with objects. D. Whether dogs can truly understand commands. 2.How did the researchers conduct the study of dogs? A. By observing their interactions with owners. B. By training them to identify specific objects. C. By monitoring their brain waves in different situations. D. By comparing their reactions to different human voices. 3.In the study, surprise reactions in dog’s brain are caused by a mismatch between ________. A. what they want and what they are given B. what they hear and what they are shown C. what they are trained to do and what is tested D. what they are familiar with and what is displayed 4.What is Clive Wynne’s attitude toward the study’s findings? A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Supportive. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建福州第一中学·期中）Motivation enables you to meet your basic needs as well as complete your life goals. You may hear of extrinsic motivation a lot. But do you know you also have a hidden motivator called intrinsic motivation (内驱力)? They are both very important, yet also different. Extrinsic motivation is driven by rewards, be it achieving high marks, earning lots of money, or becoming popular. Intrinsic motivation is all about enjoyment. For example, an intrinsic runner will run simply because he loves it. He is not training for a competition or trying to improve his records; he is running because he feels running is a part of him and enjoys it. Although it has no rewards, intrinsic motivation does bring positive change and can lead to better performance. Researchers found that middle school students who were intrinsically motivated were calmer and more positive. So when you find these students are also those who raise their hands most, please don’t feel strange. They like to communicate with their teachers. In fact, intrinsic motivation can be a more powerful motivator than extrinsic motivation. For example, if you are always measuring your success, you may live in dissatisfaction all the time. This is like being on “a hedonic treadmill (跑步机)”, where people are forced to buy the latest product. After buying it, buyers may feel empty and dissatisfied, and start hunting for another product to fill the empty hole in their heart. Likewise, after setting the next extrinsic goal, it is common to feel inspired. So intrinsic motivation is becoming an important tool for parents and educators. It is about being in the moment and enjoying life each step of the way. Therefore, instead of asking your kids to set the next goal, you should help them stay in the present and enjoy the moment. They should look inside to uncover what inspires them and do it for the act itself. If they love nature, they can just walk in a forest without tracking the distance or time. 1.Which of the following is driven by intrinsic motivation? A. Work for a pay rise. B. Study for a top college. C. Exercise as a hobby. D. Train for an Olympic medal. 2.How does a teenage boy with intrinsic motivation perform at school? A. He feels upset when failing the exam. B. He interacts with teachers actively. C. He finds other students strange. D. He competes mainly for high marks. 3.Why does the author mention “a hedonic treadmill” in Paragraph 4? A. To show the importance of new products. B. To prove the benefits of extrinsic motivation. C. To tell the possible problem of extrinsic motivation. D. To highlight intrinsic motivation’s long-term effects. 4.What should parents do to develop their kids’ intrinsic motivation? A. Push kids to track progress. B. Ask kids to set changeable goals. C. Guide kids to look within themselves. D. Encourage kids to seek external rewards. 主题语境04 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高一上·福建漳州第一中学-11月·期中）The Haenyeo are women from Jeju Island, South Korea. For centuries, they have made their living by diving (潜水) into the sea to harvest seafood like sea urchins and shellfish. Unlike other fishermen, they do not use oxygen (O₂) tanks or modern devices (设备). Instead, they depend only on their lungs (肺), holding their breath for each dive. Chris McKnight, an expert at the University of St. Andrews, said studying the Haenyeo is “as close as you get to studying a mermaid”. He and his team worked with seven divers, recording 1,786 dives. Special devices measured how long the women stayed underwater, how deep they went, and how much oxygen remained in their bodies. The results were surprising. The women spent more time underwater than any other people ever studied — from one to five hours each day. Unlike other animals that usually show lower heart rates and oxygen levels while diving, the Haenyeo had faster heartbeats and little drop in oxygen. This may be because their dives were frequent but shallow, usually 3 to 15 feet deep, lasting about 11 seconds each. What made their achievements even more amazing was their age: most Haenyeo were around 70 years old. This showed excellent health and strength. Researchers also found that these women could better control blood pressure and stand cold water. Study co-author Melissa Ilardo believed the Haenyeo may also be able to put up with high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), which usually makes people feel anxious. “The Haenyeo’s ability to spend so much time underwater is not only a scientific wonder but also a cultural treasure. Their story shows how human tradition and biology can work together to create amazing skills,” said McKnight. 1.How are the Haenyeo different from other fishermen? A. They use modern devices to fish. B. They dive without any breathing devices. C. They are all well-trained swimmers. D. They make a living by collecting seafood. 2.What does the study find about the Haenyeo’s time underwater? A. It’s longer than that of other humans studied. B. It affects their health condition. C. It often lasts for about 11 minutes each dive. D. It’s usually over five hours daily. 3.What does McKnight want to say in the last paragraph? A. The new research is a cultural treasure. B. Scientific training sounds more important. C. Human culture can shape physical abilities. D. People are naturally able to live near the sea. 4.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Unbelievable Women Divers of Jeju. B. The Secret to Practicing Diving Alone. C. A Surprising Discovery About the Sea. D. The Haenyeo’s Thought of Modern Life. 主题语境05 人与自然-灾害防范 （25-26高一上·福建厦门第二中学·期中）There is a growing hope in the field of earthquake prediction (预测) due to artificial intelligence (AI), which is challenging the widely accepted belief that earthquake prediction is impossible. Through a test carried out in China, a team of researchers from the University of Texas, Austin have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that can predict 70% of earthquakes up to seven days in advance. The research team believes that their method worked well because they used a simple machine learning method. Based on the team’s understanding of earthquake physics, the AI was provided with a set of data on earthquake, and then taught itself by using a five-year earthquake record database. After the learning process, the AI was able to predict earthquakes by listening and analyzing signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This achievement undoubtedly marks a milestone (里程碑) in the field of AI-powered earthquake prediction research. “Earthquakes arrive without warning,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a lead researcher at the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how well you are prepared. Even with the 70% accuracy, this is a huge achievement which could help reduce economic and human losses and contribute to earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although it remains to be seen whether this method will be as effective in other areas, the researchers believe that if used in areas with more earthquake tracking networks, their Al algorithms deliver even more accurate predictions. The next step is to test AI in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNethas 300 earthquake stations and a continuous recording history of over 6 years, making it an excellent testing ground for these purposes. In the long run, the authors hope to combine the AI system with physics-based models. This combined strategy could be particularly important in situations where data is poor or lacking. “There’s still a long way to go, but many advances like this, taken together, are what drive science forward,” said Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 1.How does the AI algorithm predict earthquakes? A. By using algorithms to collect data. B. By identifying data from the satellites. C. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. D. By understanding earthquake physics. 2.What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquake. B. The significance of developing the AI prediction. C. The importance of earthquake preparation. D. The limitations of current earthquake prediction methods. 3.What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Combining the system with physics-based models. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Improving earthquake tracking networks in Texas. D. Conducting tests of AI in Texas. 4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. AI: Reducing Earthquake Losses B. AI: Stopping Earthquake from Happening C. AI: Rewriting the Earthquake Preparation Rules D. AI: Predicting 70% Earthquakes 主题语境06 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·福建莆田第一中学·期中）It might surprise you to learn that dogs are playing an increasingly important role as conservationists. For centuries, they have been known as man’s best friends. Now, their unique abilities are being used to help protect some of the world’s most threatened species. Quick and loyal, dogs possess many qualities that make them ideal for fieldwork, but it’s their extraordinary sense of smell that makes them invaluable for conservation work. With around 220 million olfactory receptors(嗅觉受体)compared to just 5 million in humans, dogs can detect scents(气味)and analyze them with astonishing accuracy, devoting 40 times more of their brain to scent analysis than we do. Thanks to this incredible ability, some dogs are now being trained to save at-risk animals by sniffing(嗅)out their droppings. At the University of Washington’s Conservation Canines facility, 20 specially trained dogs have successfully tracked killer whale droppings, which only float briefly on the ocean’s surface. Analyzing these samples enables scientists to monitor the health of killer whale populations, which are under significant stress from food shortages, pollution, and boat traffic. Beyond tracking animal droppings, conservation dogs are also trained for live animal detection, further showcasing their abilities. They can locate rare species in their natural habitats. Additionally, they are now used to tackle the non-native species that threaten the survival of the local wildlife. Dogs also take on other important roles. For example, at Kenya’s Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer. While dogs may not be the ultimate solution to every conservation challenge, their incomparable abilities make them invaluable companions in the fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity. 1.Why are the figures mentioned in the second paragraph? A. To highlight the superiority of dogs’ sense of smell. B. To suggest the amazing accuracy of dogs’ analysis. C. To recognize the importance of conservation work. D. To show dogs’ impressive achievements in fieldwork. 2.How do dogs help protect killer whales? A. By tracking their movements. B. By detecting their droppings. C. By monitoring their populations. D. By analyzing the collected samples. 3.What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 4? A. Wildlife products are popular in African countries. B. Non-native species affect the survival of local wildlife. C. Dogs are used to detect and prevent illegal wildlife trade. D. Dogs can accurately locate the natural habitats of rare species. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To appeal to people to protect biodiversity. B. To report various environmental challenges. C. To introduce dogs’ roles in conservation efforts. D. To prove the conventional claim of dogs’ qualities. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建泉州四校联考·期中）Nowadays, handwriting seems to become less necessary, for young children learn to tap and touch screens before they have even learned to pick up a pencil or tie their shoelaces. Most of our written communication is done through texting on mobile phones or typing on a keyboard. And voice recognition softwares are becoming more and more advanced — making even keyboards unnecessary! So, are handwriting skills important to your child? Actually, handwriting is an exercise in eye-hand coordination (协调), an important part of visual-motor (视觉运动) skills, which are connected with achievements in study. Scientists found that developing fine visual-motor skills in early childhood can lead to not only writing success, but better performance in reading and math in elementary school. It was also found that kids who fail to write neatly and efficiently are often accused of being lazy, and this may affect their behavior and self-worth. Moreover, a study showed that when a group of children were asked to come up with ideas for an article, the ones with better handwriting were more active and had quicker minds. In some ways, handwriting helps their brains’ development. The first attempts at writing can be challenging for pre-school children — whose fine motor skills are not yet fully developed. But some skills to prepare for handwriting are simple to build at home and in preschool. Parents should provide lots of opportunities for kids to copy and draw shapes and simple pictures in early childhood before letters are introduced. Let your child copy your shapes in sand, or with chalks on a board before trying to draw the shapes on their own. Encourage your child to spend less time on electronic devices and more time on activities to improve eye-hand coordination. Let’s face it — technology is certain to continue developing and more research is needed to find the best ways to teach handwriting to young children. But, there’s plenty of evidence that the handwriting practice can provide young children with a good start in developing skills needed for a healthy and successful journey in school. 1.According to Paragraph 1, handwriting is . A. easy to learn on a touch screen B. used less frequently now C. more difficult than typewriting D. totally replaced by softwares 2.How does the author explain the benefits of handwriting? A. By presenting some research findings. B. By mentioning examples of the kids around him. C. By giving some news reports on hand-writing. D. By providing data about pupils with good grades. 3.What does the author suggest parents do? A. Keep young children away from electronic devices. B. Teach pre-school children to write letters with chalks. C. Help children get ready for handwriting before school. D. Encourage children to face writing challenges bravely. 4.What can be the best title for the text? A. Does poor handwriting really mean being lazy? B. Should handwriting be taken seriously in children’s growth? C. How can handwriting affect children’s self-confidence? D. Should homework be done through handwriting or typewriting? Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建厦泉四地五校联考·期中）Every year the Weifang International Kite Festival amazes visitors and netizens with innovative (创新的) kites, as “paper birds” of unimaginable designs keep appearing in the sky. This year, 622 kite artists from 59 countries and regions took part in the event. There were a variety of activities, including daylight and night kite shows, a kite flying competition, an exhibition of kite-themed creative artworks and so on. During the festival, visitors were amazed by many great and innovative kites on display. The longest one was a 280-meter-long Chinese dragon kite, while a 175-meter-long centipede kite took several people to control it while it was flying across the sky. Another giant kite, a whale, had to be flown by a team of a dozen men. Many kites contained elements (元素) of traditional Chinese culture. The 50-meter-long kite of a phoenix was something special, together with the seventh fairy from Chinese legend. Some people said the flying objects at the 40th Weifang International Kite Festival reminded them of the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, but they were hundreds of times bigger in scale and crazier. Compared with the past festivals, this year’s event was highlighted (突出) by many innovations by both experienced and young kite makers. The innovative kites presented this year brought many pleasant surprises to kite lovers all over the world, and will bring the people of China and other countries closer. 1.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the kites? A. Their designers. B. Their price. C. Their shapes and sizes. D. Their tradition. 2.The Thanksgiving Day Parade is mentioned to say ______. A. kite flying competitors are from abroad. B. this year’s kite festival is impressive. C. it is the most popular in Western countries. D. it is as important as this year’s kite festival. 3.What sets this year’s kite festival apart from the past ones? A. Festival-goers. B. The number of kites. C. Creativity. D.

Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are connected with the upkeep of old buildings. Actually, keeping and making use of old architecture is one of the most environmentally-sound things we can do — more than the construction (建造) of any new architecture expected to be “green”. Aged communities, which have developed and changed naturally over a long period, hold unique cultures of their own. The buildings inside them are irreplaceable (不可替代的) to the environment. Choosing to pull down such architecture basically is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Constructing “green” can be about saving time-honored, local building traditions that value the local cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies. The construction supplies (建筑材料) and workmanship are also worth protecting, not simply because of the environmental cost of producing and transporting them, but for the fact that some of such supplies and the workmanship no longer live. For example, my little river cottage (别墅) in West Virginia, which was built with chestnut before the disappearance of the chestnut trees, may never again be sourced. However, the probable buyer planned to pull it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of downgrading the source but also goes against the idea of workable development. As the Preservation Green Lab report describes, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30% more practical (实用的) than a common present building to overcome the harmful climate (气候) change results connected to the construction, which focuses on the necessity of ongoing use of present buildings and communities, successfully stopping or decreasing (减少) the use of forests, farms, wildlife homes and open areas for new construction tasks. As Carl Elefante of Quinn- Evans architects artfully said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to the agreement that present buildings are worth more care and attention. 1.How do most people deal with old buildings? A. People treat them lightly. B. People rebuild them actively. C. People explore them fully. D. People treasure them heartily. 2.Why does the writer mention his little river cottage in paragraph 3? A. To prove the shortage of building supplies. B. To explain the difficulty of building houses. C. To show the connection to the old buildings. D. To point out the value of keeping old buildings. 3.What can we know from the numbers in paragraph 4 about old buildings? A. They are more practical than the new buildings. B. They can help avoid more environmental pollution. C. They require fewer supplies during the construction. D. They can clear away the bad influences on farms nearby. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. Culture worth lies in green buildings. B. Old buildings are cost-friendly. C. Old buildings should be valued higher. D. Building workmanship should be treasured. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建厦门松柏中学·期中）In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced, mass tourism that dominates (主宰) the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities. One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours. Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, “slow travel” has helped preserve (保存) endangered crafts and save dying traditions. However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility. As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic (真实的) experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget (预算) limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs. 1.Which is the benefit of slow travel? A. It can save money on traveling. B. It can be more environmentally friendly. C. It can increase the income of travel companies. D. It can allow travelers to visit more places hurriedly. 2.What can we learn about slow travel from the third paragraph? A. It has little impact on local economies. B. It focuses on interactions with travelers. C. It discourages travelers from learning about history. D. It may contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts. 3.What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in this context? A. desirable B. affordable C. practical D. classical 4.What can be inferred about the future of slow travel? A. It will cost less as time passes. B. It will only be accessible to rich travelers. C. It may become more popular in the future. D. It will take the place of traditional tourism entirely. 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建顺昌县第一中学·期中）Recently, videos of using AI to choose watermelons became very popular on social media, showing the technology can pick sweet fruit. As watermelon season comes, many people find buying a watermelon like opening a surprise box. Will it be a dud? To put AI to the test, a reporter from xxcb.cn visited a store in Changsha, Central China’s Hunan Province to conduct an experiment. The reporter took photos and numbered eight watermelons, which made it easy to tell them apart and compare them later, and then asked AI to choose the sweetest one. One AI software program admitted(承认)it couldn’t judge sweetness of the numbered watermelons. “Usually, methods to determine the sweetness of a watermelon include observing the appearance, weight, and sound of the watermelon. Tapping (拍) the watermelon can also be used to determine its sweetness.” the AI software explained. Another gave tips on what to look for in choosing a sweet watermelon. “Based on the shape of the watermelon, rounder watermelons usually show a more uniform internal structure, which may be a sign of higher sweetness. In the image, watermelons 1 and 8 look rounder and larger,suggesting higher sweetness. However, the final sweetness needs to be confirmed by taste,” the AI software said. Following the AI’s recommendation, the reporter decided to put these two to the test. After cutting open watermelons 1 and 8, both were red and juicy, but watermelon one was slightly sweeter. So, is using AI to pick fruit dependable? According to an AI expert, AI can provide helpful suggestions based on visual(视觉的) and base knowledge, but it’s not fully right. Although AI can be a useful tool for those unsure how to choose a melon, experienced people may still depend on traditional methods like tapping and smelling. Eventually, the decision on which watermelon to choose may still come down to personal preference and practical experience. 1.What does the underlined word “dud” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Something small. B. Something expensive. C. Something tasteless. D. Something seasonal. 2.Why did the first AI admit its inability? A. It didn’t get clear melon photos. B. It needed to collect more information. C. It hadn’t answered similar questions. D. It considered the shape unimportant. 3.How did the second AI differ from the first one? A. It found out sweetness by sound. B. It showed three methods to choose. C. It offered weight-based tips. D. It connected sweetness to sizes. 4.What is the author’s attitude toward AI picking melons? A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Worried. D. Unclear. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建泉州四校联考·期中）If you have a smartphone, you probably use its front-facing camera for selfies (自拍) and the occasional video call. You might use your next smartphone’s front camera for the same thing, but there’s a chance that the camera won’t completely turn off once you’re done with it. This week, chipmaker Qualcomm revealed its latest Snapdragon processor (处理器), which will power many of the high-end Android smartphones that you’ll see in stores in 2022, including models from Motorola, Sony and OnePlus. And a new feature built into that chip could allow smartphone makers to keep those front-facing cameras on all the time in a sort of low-power mode, waiting and watching for a face to appear in front of it. The idea of a camera that stays on as long as your phone does seems deeply unsettling, even in an age where people are convinced that smartphones are already overheard (偷听) on our conversations. So why is a company responsible for building the brains of our smartphones trying to make “always-on” cameras a common feature? In time, a phone using this new chip could actually unlock itself when it sees your face, and automatically lock itself again when you’re not looking at it anymore. Or, if it sees someone else’s face next to yours, the phone could automatically hide notifications (通知) so no one else can see what your incoming emails or Slack messages are about. The benefit of a phone is that it knows to act differently when you’re not looking back. As it turns out, the Qualcomm tech that could make such features possible is conceptually pretty basic. “What’s happening here is to find out: is there a face, or is there not a face,” Heape told me. “There is not a photograph taken. There is no video being recorded.” He also said that none of camera data leaves the chip when it’s being analyzed (分析) for faces. 1.Why does the author mention “selfies” and “video call” in paragraph 1? A. To advertise a product. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To give an example. D. To lead to the topic. 2.What is special about the latest Snapdragon processor? A. It ensures a longer stay-on time. B. It prevents users being overheard. C. It is fit for all Android smartphones. D. It keeps the front-facing cameras always on. 3.What may be people’s attitude to the new feature of the new smartphones? A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Positive. D. Critical. 4.What could be inferred from Heape’s words? A. Smartphones with the new chip are safe to use. B. Smartphones with the new chip will be popular. C. Face analyzing data are kept through the Internet. D. Private needs are considered to make the new features. 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建莆田第二中学·期中）Robots have learned to drive on Mars, carry out brain operation and defeat master chess players. But when it comes to baking, making tasty desserts is far from a piece of cake. After many failed attempts, US researchers have successfully 3D printed a cherry cheesecake, although the outcome is unlikely to trouble the world’s dessert masters. In the latest experiment, researchers tried various cheesecake designs. In early attempts, which involved simply adding ingredients one by one, the team found that the cake quickly turned into a mixture. Through trial and error, they discovered that a more architectural solution was needed. Walls of biscuit base were required throughout the cake to hold the softer ingredients, while triangular (三角的) biscuit supports on the inside were necessary to keep the cake from falling apart. “To print the cake successfully, we need to put the ingredients together in a careful way,” said the team leader Cooper. Although much work is still needed to collect data and improve the designs, scientists are hopeful that once mastered, 3D printing could replace traditional cooking, allowing food to be adapted to different nutritional(营养)needs. “We have a huge problem with the low nutrition of processed foods,” said Cooper. “3D food printing will still produce processed foods, but perhaps the silver lining will be, for some people, a better control of nutrition based on personalized needs.” The team said 3D printing could also allow chefs to create entirely new food experiences, with flavours and textures (质地) placed very precisely. “It is particularly practical for the plant-based meat market, where texture and flavour need to be carefully designed to taste like real meats,” said Cooper. And, with more concern about food safety, food prepared with less human handling could lower the risk of food-related illness and the spread of disease. According to Cooper, this seems like a win-win solution for all of us. 1.Why does the author mention robots in paragraph 1? A. To show the disadvantages of 3D printing. B. To introduce the popularity of using robots. C. To stress the difficulty of 3D printing desserts. D. To explain the function of robots in different areas. 2.What is the key to the success of the 3D printed cheesecake? A. The thickness of biscuit walls. B. The flexibility of inside support. C. The unique taste of ingredients. D. The structural design of the cake. 3.What do the underlined words “the silver lining” in paragraph 3 mean? A. The side effect. B. The main reason. C. The positive aspect. D. The best solution. 4.What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning 3D printed food? A. Promising markets. B. Additional benefits. C. Practical concerns. D. Technical challenges. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建漳州第一中学-11月·期中）On social media, reading has taken on new styles. Many readers now create colorful and detailed notes, known as marginalia (书页批注). These marks sometimes cover entire pages and may even match the color of a book’s cover. While some see this trend (趋势) as creative and personal, others question whether writing in books is a bad habit or a useful practice. Yet marginalia are hardly a modern invention. From Leonardo da Vinci to modern writers, generations of readers have long left their thoughts in the margins. Such notes often provide valuable insights for later readers and occasionally reshape the understanding of the text. In recent years, bestselling novelist Ann Patchett released a special edition with notes of her novel Tom Lake to raise money for bookstores, showing how marginalia can generate cultural and financial value. Scientists have also examined the phenomenon scientifically. A study in Frontiers in Psychology recorded brain activity and found that writing by hand uses more parts of the brain than typing. This suggests that the physical act of writing, including marginalia, deepens memory and comprehension. Maryanne Wolf at UCLA further argued that making notes enables readers to go beyond the author’s ideas and discover their own understanding. In education, marginalia also plays a role. Turkish professor Demet Yayli observed that taking notes encourages deep reading, helps students clearly express their views, and strengthens their learner autonomy. With greater autonomy, students are able to make decisions in learning and take responsibility for their progress, rather than wait for directions. Although note styles may appear unusual — underlining every line of a favorite character or marking romantic passages — experts agree that as long as the practice aids comprehension, any style is acceptable. Writing in the margins, far from being harmful, can personalize texts and enrich intellectual engagement. 1.According to the first paragraph, why has marginalia caused debate? A. It changes the appearance of the book. B. Its true value is doubted. C. Readers enjoy colorful notes. D. Books should follow trends. 2.Why was Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To explain marginalia is a bad habit. B. To say marginalia is not something new. C. To show marginalia can create cultural value. D. To prove books with marginalia tend to be expensive. 3.How did scientists examine the effects of handwriting? A. By comparing writing topics. B. By collecting memory test scores. C. By tracking brain activity. D. By recalling the author’s ideas. 4.What does the underlined word “autonomy” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Importance. B. Curiosity. C. Creativity. D. Independence. 主题语境05 人与自然-环境 （25-26高一上·福建厦门第一中学·期中）The public nowadays has a misunderstanding of forest fires, believing that fires should be kept out of every type of forest. Many of us can recall Smokey the Bear’s famous warning: “Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires”. However, that’s not always the case. Under the right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, uncontrollable wildfires. After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into recently burned areas to feed on these newly available foods. Some reptiles and amphibians such as the snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire. As Herbert Stoddard put it, “One of the most harmful things modern man has done to birds has been his attempt to exclude fire from fire-type pine (松树) forests. Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes, lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被) and can no longer support birds which depend on periodic burning for their food supply and proper cover.” If you are asked to picture the forest floor, what do you see? Pine needles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind — all sources of fuel. If these fuel sources build up without any type of removal, the ‘fuel load’ can lead to fires which are huge disasters to forests and people alike. In contrast, prescribed fires can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at a proper and manageable level. They can also greatly reduce the spread of pest insects and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species. Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the growth of trees, wildflowers and other various plants. Many organizations work to promote fire on the landscape. Smoky Bear even has an updated warning: “Only YOU can prevent wildfires,” as the Forest Service has over the last few decades developed policies and measures to include prescribed fire as a useful tool, as well as continuing their work to prevent and fight wildfires. 1.What can benefit birds according to Herbert Stoddard? A. Forest bushes. B. Periodic burning. C. Fuel sources. D. Pine forests. 2.What does the underlined word “prescribed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Frequent. B. Wild. C. Planned. D. Damaging. 3.Why do forest professionals need to conduct fire every couple of years according to the passage? A. To keep the forest in balance. B. To keep the fuel rich in the forest. C. To put out wildfires. D. To remove tree and plant species. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To prevent the use of prescribed fire in the forest. B. To promote the complete exclusion of fire from forests. C. To educate people on positive aspects of controlled fires. D. To encourage the public to remove sources of forest fuels. 主题语境06 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·福建厦门第六中学·期中）A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet. The report also showed that nearly half of the respondents (受访者) said that such distress affected them daily, and three-quarters agreed with the statement that “the future is frightening.” This, and many other studies, show clearly that climate change is not just a threat to the environment. It also poses a very real threat to our mental health. Psychologists have classified these feelings of sadness, distress, and worry about the current climate emergency as eco-anxiety. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the “intense physical and mental discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system.” Eco-anxiety doesn’t just affect young people. It also affects researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality discovered in their findings, and it affects the poor people across the globe, who hopelessly bear the harmful impacts of climate breakdown. In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods destroy regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience mental distress. The cause of this mental distress is absolutely external. According to Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Take eco-anxiety as a tool for good-as an emotion that can urge people to act in protection of our planet. This is why, in 2024, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and apply for jobs that seek sustainable development. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy—we will solve it by taking action. 1.What does the underlined word “distress” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Shock. B. Anxiety. C. Happiness. D. Anger. 2.What is eco-anxiety according to the Climate Psychology Alliance? A. It is a strong reaction to the natural disasters. B. It is a kind of mental disease for the young people. C. It is a physical and mental discomfort when we meet difficulties. D. It is a strong physical and mental discomfort for the dangerous climate changes. 3.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. The process of eco-anxiety. B. The impact of eco-anxiety. C. The causes of eco-anxiety. D. The benefits of eco-anxiety. 4.What’s the approach to solving eco-anxiety according to Caroline Hickman? A. Defeat it with a therapy. B. Just wait for a good solution. C. Join the fight for climate justice. D. Use it to urge people to protect our earth. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·福建泉州第五中学·期中）How fast do you listen? Hollywood actor Glen Powell likes 1x listening speed, saying, “I want to hear people talk at a normal human rate,” while American comedian Bowen Yang believes 1.8x is the perfect pace. Their debate went viral earlier this year in an advertisement for a streaming platform, which was criticized for suggesting that people who listen quickly are unusual. The controversy reflects a broader change in how people consume digital media. Surveys support this observation. A survey showed that 31% of Americans aged 18-29 listen faster than 1x, compared with only 8% of those over 45. To meet this demand, many platforms such as Apple, Spotify, Netflix and YouTube now provide fast playback (播放) options. Some even allow speeds up to 4x for premium users. The appeal is easy to understand: faster playback can save a large amount of time. YouTube once reported that its viewers together saved more than 900 years per day thanks to this feature. For busy students and workers, such efficiency is attractive. But does speeding affect comprehension? The average person speaks at a rate of about 150 words per minute, but most brains are capable of processing information faster than that, says Marcus Pearce, a cognitive scientist at Queen Mary University of London. A recent meta-analysis led by academics at the University of Waterloo in Canada found that up to 1.5x there was not much of a difference in performance, although scores started to decrease noticeably as playback speeds approached or exceeded 2x. The practice has also raised different opinions. From the platforms’ perspective, faster speeds mean users consume more content, which increases advertising income. But many performers argue that something artistic is lost. Reading aloud involves pacing, tone and pause, and rushing may damage the quality of a performance. Imagine the famous monologues (独白) in Hamlet delivered at double speed — much of the meaning would disappear. Despite the disagreements, fast playback has become part of daily life for many people. For them, to speed or not to speed is no longer a real question. 1.What can be learned about the controversy from paragraph 1? A. An advertisement is well received. B. People prefer different listening speeds. C. Digital media is a topic of much debate. D. Streaming platforms are part of daily life. 2.Why did many platforms introduce faster playback options? A. To attract more elderly listeners. B. To respond to the users’ needs. C. To help people’s comprehension. D. To cut content production costs. 3.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Hamlet? A. To stress fast speed harms art. B. To show people favor classic works. C. To prove actors dislike fast playback. D. To suggest modern audiences lack patience. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The need for fast playback B. The argument over an advertisement C. Higher speed, more profit D.

There’s something for all levels of skills and ambitions. The Kenai River Trail A half mile down this trail are wonderful views of the Kenai River Canyon. There are really two trailheads(小道的起点); the main “upper” trail starts at mile 0.6 of Skilak Lake Rd, and the other at mile 2.3. Turnagain Arm Trail This 11-mile hike begins at Potter Trailhead (Mile 115). Initially used by Alaska Natives, the trail, can also be accessible to points along the way: McHugh Creck (Mile 112), Rainbow (Mile 108) and Windy (Mile 107). Iditarod National Historic Trail The National Historic Iditarod Trail is a 24-mile hike used by gold miners and sled-dog teams until 1918, when the Alaska Railroad was finished. It’s a two-to-three day hike through superb mountain scenery to Girdwood (where it’s known as the Crow Pass Trail), and is the region’s best backpack adventure. Put up a tent at Echo Bend (Mile 3), or rent one of two yurts(毡房) ($65 per night) close by. For a shorter outing you can turn around at the Perch, then return to the Dew Mound Trail at Echo Bend and then to the Nature Center, making this a scenic 8-mile trip. Reed Lakes Trail Two alpine lakes, waterfalls, glaciers and towering granite(花岗岩) walls: the 7-to-9-mile Reed Lakes Trail is one of the most wonderful hikes in the region, and worth the climb. Once you reach upper Reed Lake, continue 1 mile to Bomber Glacier, where the ruin of a B-29 bomber lies in memorial to six men who died in a 1957 crash. 1.Which route was originally used by Alaska Natives? A. The Kenai River Trail. B. Tunagain Arm Trail. C. Iditarod National Historic Trail. D. Reed Lakes Trail. 2.What will visitors see at Bomber Glacier? A. A memorial to six heroes. B. A tower made of granite. C. One of the most splendid waterfalls. D. The ruin of a B-29 bomber. 3.Who will be more interested in the text? A. Nature photographers. B. Sports lovers. C. Field researchers. D. Alaska explorers. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建福九联盟·期中）Sustainable (可持续的) travel is an idea that many experts within the travel industry agree on. To continue enjoying this amazing world, both travelers and the travel industry must change their actions to be more environmentally friendly. A report reads: “At this important moment in climate history, if there is a lack of actions, by 2040 many of the world’s favorite destinations will be forced to go virtual (虚拟的).” What is sustainable travel? It is about traveling in a way that reduces negative impact (影响) on the climate and environment, as well as the communities and people we visit. For many years, the attention around sustainable travel was in need of reducing environmental pollution. While it is still important, there is now an even more pressing issue. With the growth of a private market that means local communities aren’t getting as many benefits from tourism as they should, change is needed more than ever. To solve this problem, we need to rethink how we see travel. Instead of just focusing on our own experiences, we should consider the needs of our hosts while our hopes for a fun-filled holiday. All it takes is a little thoughtful planning. One of the most useful ways you can make a difference when traveling is to reduce your carbon footprint. Wherever you choose to go, your transport will likely cause most of your CO2 emissions (排放物). It’s simple: traveling shorter distances and using less fuel (燃料) will make a big difference. And by doing so, you can visit more places and benefit more communities and people. And traveling out of peak season can be a more meaningful experience. You’ll avoid the crowds at popular sites and find lower prices for hotels, restaurants and activities. For local people who work in tourism and are seasonal workers, the money they make outside of busy periods is much valued and needed. Another impactful way to be more sustainable is to stay in places owned by the local community rather than chain hotels. It means the money you spend goes directly to local people who are serving you and need it most. 1.Why does the author mention the report in paragraph 1? A. To try to explain what sustainable travel is. B. To point out the main idea of the text. C. To show why sustainable travel is necessary. D. To present climate change’s effect on travel. 2.What does “an even more pressing issue” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Climate change. B. Environmental pollution. C. Fast growth of tourism. D. Little attention on locals. 3.What does the author suggest a sustainable traveler do? A. Travel less. B. Choose long trips. C. Make a package tour. D. Try off-season travel. 4.Why are community-owned hotels recommended? A. They provide better service for guests. B. They are friendlier to the environment. C. They help local people make more money. D. They are the main part of the local economy. 5.Which is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To prove sustainable travel is the only way to protect tourism places. B. To say sustainable travel should balance travelers, locals and the environment. C. To tell readers community-owned places are key to sustainable travel. D. To show solving pollution is more important than helping locals. 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高一上·福建龙海第一中学·期中）New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re good at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parents it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting, which helps the brand’s content rank higher in search results. And for the doctor, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations. This adoption is of great importance from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the way AI and search interact and operate is changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in predicting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a key aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to include technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable advantage. 1.What is TQ according to the text? A. Ability to use new technologies. B. Skill of repairing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Speed of learning new languages. 2.Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. B. A manager who often uses modern search engines. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices challenging. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 3.What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Depend on. B. Take in. C. Lie in. D.

Half of all teenagers regularly post selfies. But what happens when the desire for the best selfie starts damaging nature—or even ourselves? Social media tourism is dramatically changing who visits natural places like Figure Eight Pools in Sydney’s Royal National Park. Many people are now drawn to these places for the best selfie background. These new tourists, motivated to seek out photos and selfies, sometimes ignore warning signs or bans on drones (无人机). Thus, many people have been severely injured or killed by taking risky selfies and photos in dangerous locations. Additionally, drone use can cause environmental harm if drones catch fire or batteries leak. The search for the perfect selfie can also harm animals, protected plants and even First Nations rock art. In some cases, selfies have become a long-term threat to ecosystems. But for land managers, perhaps the biggest challenge is satisfying increased interest while keeping people safe. They are working to assist this new demand by reshaping nature to make better scenery—and keep visitors safer. At Moran Falls in Queensland’s Lamington National Park, a famous view had been blocked by plants, driving some visitors to jump the fence at the viewing platform and stand directly on top of a very tall cliff (悬崖). As a solution, land managers have the trees trimmed (修剪) and then use the fallen branches to hide the track made by selfie-seekers. These land managers are wondering why traditional measures like signs and warnings often prove ineffective? The answer may lie in social recognition For many, the risk seems worth the reward if it means gaining admiration on social media. Nature-based content on popular social media platforms like TikTok often performs very well, giving other would-be influencers the motive to seek out new locations. This problem has been created by the combination of social media and human psychology. To solve it, we might look at how these two factors interact. Responsible selfie and tourism campaigns on popular social media platforms could be a start. 1.Why are many people attracted to visit places like Figure Eight Pools? A. To appreciate the natural beauty. B. To seek adventure and excitement. C. To search for the ideal selfie setting. D. To test the use of drones for photography. 2.How is Paragraph 4 developed? A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples. C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons. 3.What leads to the failure of traditional measures? A. Risks are often ignored by people B. Rules are rarely followed by people. C. Exploring new attractions is preferred. D. Social media attention is valued more. 4.What solution is suggested in the last paragraph? A. Launching tourism campaigns B. Promoting proper behaviors online C. Banning selfies in natural landscape. D. Restricting access to social media platforms. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D　4.

As a solution, land managers have the trees trimmed (修剪) and then use the fallen branches to hide the track made by selfie-seekers.(但对于土地管理者来说，最大的挑战可能是在保证人们安全的同时满足人们日益增长的兴趣。他们正在努力通过重塑自然，创造更好的风景来满足这一新的需求，同时保证游客的安全。在昆士兰州拉明顿国家公园的莫兰瀑布，一个著名的景观被植物挡住了，迫使一些游客跳过观景台的栅栏，直接站在一个非常高的悬崖上。为了解决这个问题，土地管理者让人修剪树木，然后用掉落的树枝掩盖自拍者留下的痕迹。)”可知，第四段通过举例展开。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The answer may lie in social recognition For many, the risk seems worth the reward if it means gaining admiration on social media.(对许多人来说，如果能在社交媒体上赢得赞赏，那么冒险似乎是值得的。)”可知，社交媒体的关注更有价值，这导致了传统措施的失败。故选D。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This problem has been created by the combination of social media and human psychology. To solve it, we might look at how these two factors interact. Responsible selfie and tourism campaigns on popular social media platforms could be a start.(这个问题是由社交媒体和人类心理的结合造成的。为了解决这个问题，我们可以看看这两个因素是如何相互作用的。在流行的社交媒体平台上开展负责任的自拍和旅游活动可能是一个开始。)”可知，最后一段提出的解决方案是提倡正确的网络行为。故选B。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建泉州第五中学·期中）The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit. ● Bah Humbug 10K, 1 December Do yourself a favour and bring towels and plastic bags with you, because every bit of gear you wear during this event is likely to be caked with mud by the end.

This activity can strengthen your heart, lower your blood pressure, keep your bones strong and burn calories. When walking outside, you gain the extra benefits that come from spending time in nature, but it's not always possible to take your daily exercise outside. When the weather or other factors drive you indoors, consider a treadmill (跑步机) workout instead. Treadmills are among the top three most popular pieces of equipment at US health clubs, according to the 2022 IHRSA Health Club Consumer Report. Before you jump on a treadmill and begin walking at your preferred pace, however, consider a workout where you change both the pace and incline (坡度), which can result in much more productive training. For those who can change both their walking speed and the treadmill incline, fitness experts recommend some types of interval training, which involves repeatedly exchanging the intensity (强度) of your workout and/or the activities you're doing. Gillian Dalby, vice president of fitness at CAZ Training Club in Newport Beach, offered two easy possibilities. Get on a treadmill and do one minute of walking, one minute of jogging and one minute of running for a total of 18 minutes by turns. "This keeps your mind busy, and it's an incredible way to build speed," Dalby said. Walk for one minute with no incline, one minute at a 4% incline and one minute at 8%, then repeat this sequence five times. If either workout is easy, double the time to 36 minutes or do both back-to-back. "If your gym has both kinds of treadmills, try both out," Dalby said. "At the end of the day, what will keep you continuing with your workouts and stay enjoyable? The more fun you have working out, the more likely you are to continue your fitness journey." 1.Why does the writer mention walking outside in paragraph 1? A. To advise readers to work out every day. B. To explain the benefits of walking outside. C. To sell a kind of fashionable fitness equipment. D. To introduce walking on a treadmill to readers. 2.What does the underlined word "sequence" in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. The rule that a coach teaches. B. The result that is interesting. C. The routine that works out effectively. D. The order in which actions happen. 3.Which of the following will Dalby agree with? A. Continuous workout leads to your high mood. B. People should keep themselves active and happy all day. C. Enjoying themselves will make people keep on exercising. D. All gyms should be equipped with different kinds of treadmills. 4.Which is the best title for the text? A. What Benefits Can Treadmills Bring Humans? B. Does Walking Really Benefit People Greatly? C. How Many Types of Treadmills Are Popular at Health Clubs? D. How Can People Burn Calories by Exercising on a Treadmill? 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 ]这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在跑步机上锻炼的方式、相关建议以及让锻炼持续且有趣的方法等。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Walking has long been thought of as one of the best exercises for whole health. This activity can strengthen your heart, lower your blood pressure, keep your bones strong and burn calories. When walking outside, you gain the extra benefits that come from spending time in nature, but it's not always possible to take your daily exercise outside. When the weather or other factors drive you indoors, consider a treadmill (跑步机) workout instead. (步行一直被认为是对整体健康最好的运动之一。这项活动可以增强你的心脏，降低血压，保持骨骼强壮，燃烧卡路里。当你在户外散步时，你会从花时间在大自然中获得额外的好处，但并不总是能在户外进行日常锻炼。当天气或其他因素迫使你待在室内时，考虑在跑步机上锻炼。)”可知，作者在第一段通过描述户外散步的好处进而引出当不能户外散步时可以在跑步机上锻炼，所以其目的是为了介绍文章的主题。故选D。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Walk for one minute with no incline, one minute at a 4% incline and one minute at 8%, then repeat this sequence five times. (先不倾斜走一分钟，然后以4%的倾斜度走一分钟，再以8%的倾斜度走一分钟，然后重复这个sequence五次。)”可知，这里描述的是一系列动作的先后顺序，所以sequence意思是“动作发生的顺序”。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“"If your gym has both kinds of treadmills, try both out," Dalby said. At the end of the day, what will keep you continuing with your workouts and stay enjoyable? The more fun you have working out, the more likely you are to continue your fitness journey. (“如果你的健身房有两种跑步机，不妨都试试，”达尔比说，归根结底，是什么让你继续锻炼并保持愉快？你锻炼得越有趣，你就越有可能继续你的健身之旅。)”可知，Dalby会同意享受锻炼会让人继续锻炼下去。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Treadmills are among the top three most popular pieces of equipment at US health clubs, according to the 2022 IHRSA Health Club Consumer Report. Before you jump on a treadmill and begin walking at your preferred pace, however, consider a workout where you change both the pace and incline (坡度), which can result in much more productive training. (根据2022年国际健康、健身及娱乐协会（IHRSA）发布的《健康俱乐部消费者报告》，跑步机是美国健身俱乐部最受欢迎的三大设备之一。然而，在你跳上跑步机并以你喜欢的速度开始行走之前，不妨考虑一下改变速度和坡度的锻炼方式，这样训练效果会更好。)” 指出跑步机是美国健身俱乐部中最受欢迎的设备之一，并且建议改变速度和坡度来进行更有效的训练。第四段“Get on a treadmill and do one minute of walking, one minute of jogging and one minute of running for a total of 18 minutes by turns. "This keeps your mind busy, and it's an incredible way to build speed," Dalby said. Walk for one minute with no incline, one minute at a 4% incline and one minute at 8%, then repeat this sequence five times. If either workout is easy, double the time to 36 minutes or do both back-to-back. (在跑步机上交替进行一分钟步行、一分钟慢跑和一分钟疾跑，总时长为18分钟。“这能让你的大脑保持忙碌，是提升速度的绝佳方式，”达尔比说道。先进行一分钟无坡度步行，再以4%的坡度步行一分钟，最后以8%的坡度步行一分钟，然后重复这一顺序五次。如果其中任何一种锻炼感觉轻松，可以将时间加倍至36分钟，或者两种锻炼连续进行。)”详细介绍了具体的训练方式，最后一段中的“"At the end of the day, what will keep you continuing with your workouts and stay enjoyable? The more fun you have working out, the more likely you are to continue your fitness journey." (“说到底，什么能让你坚持锻炼并保持乐趣？锻炼越有趣，你就越有可能继续你的健身之旅。”)”专家的观点是，锻炼者越感觉有趣，越能坚持下去，因此文章整体围绕如何在跑步机上锻炼来燃烧卡路里展开。所以D选项“How Can People Burn Calories by Exercising on a Treadmill?（人们如何在跑步机上锻炼来燃烧卡路里？）”最能概括文章主旨，适合作标题。故选D。 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建厦门第一中学·期中）Many dog owners believe their pets understand and respond not only to commands such as “sit” and “stay, ” but also to words referring to their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that. But science has had trouble determining whether dogs really activate (激活) a mental image in their minds when they hear the name of an object. A new study has found that beyond being able to respond to commands like “roll over, ” dogs can learn to connect words with specific objects — a relationship with language called referential understanding that had been unproven in dogs until now. The study involved 18 dogs and a procedure using electrodes (电极) attached to dogs’ heads to measure brain activity and register brain waves. Dog owners participating in the study would play a voice recording in which they said the name of their dog’s toy — like “ball” — and then they would show the dog an object. The researchers measured the dogs’ brain activity when the object in the recording matched the object that was displayed, and also when it differed. “We expected that if a dog really understands the meaning of the object’s word, it will expect to see that object. And if the owner shows a different one, there will be a so-called surprise reaction in the brain, ” Boros said. The study found a different brain pattern when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word, compared to when it didn’t — suggesting the animals formed a mental image of an object based on hearing the word for it. The study supports “theories of language evolution (进化) which actually say that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans,” added Magyari, an associate professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway. While the study has received praise, some experts have expressed doubts about its findings. Behavioral scientist and professor of psychology, Clive Wynne, said in a post onFacebook that he believes that all the study shows is that dogs respond to stimuli (刺激) — but that they don’t actually understand the meaning of specific words. 1.What has puzzled scientists about dogs? A. How dogs activate mental images in mind. B. How dogs respond to their favorite objects. C. Whether dogs can connect words with objects. D. Whether dogs can truly understand commands. 2.How did the researchers conduct the study of dogs? A. By observing their interactions with owners. B. By training them to identify specific objects. C. By monitoring their brain waves in different situations. D. By comparing their reactions to different human voices. 3.In the study, surprise reactions in dog’s brain are caused by a mismatch between ________. A. what they want and what they are given B. what they hear and what they are shown C. what they are trained to do and what is tested D. what they are familiar with and what is displayed 4.What is Clive Wynne’s attitude toward the study’s findings? A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Supportive. 【答案】1. C　2. C　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们如何通过脑电波测量来研究狗是否能够理解人类语言中的具体词汇。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的句子“But science has had trouble determining whether dogs really activate a mental image in their minds when they hear the name of an object. (但是，当狗听到一个物体的名字时，科学很难确定它们是否真的在脑海中激活了一个心理图像。)”可知，科学家们一直困惑的是，当狗听到某个物体的名字时，它们是否会在脑海中激活一个心理图像。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的句子“The study involved 18 dogs and a procedure using electrodes attached to dogs’ heads to measure brain activity and register brain waves. (这项研究涉及18只狗，并使用连接在狗头上的电极来测量大脑活动并记录脑电波。)”可知，研究人员通过在狗的头部附着电极来测量大脑活动和脑电波。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的句子“We expected that if a dog really understands the meaning of the object’s word, it will expect to see that object. And if the owner shows a different one, there will be a so-called surprise reaction in the brain (我们认为，如果狗真的理解了物体单词的意思，它就会期望看到那个物体。如果主人出示不同的照片，大脑就会产生所谓的惊讶反应)”可知，狗的大脑中的“惊讶反应”是由听到的名字和展示的物体不匹配引起的。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的句子“Behavioral scientist and professor of psychology, Clive Wynne, said in a post on Facebook that he believes that all the study shows is that dogs respond to stimuli — but that they don’t actually understand the meaning of specific words. (行为科学家和心理学教授克莱夫·韦恩在Facebook上发表的一篇文章中说，他认为所有的研究都表明，狗对刺激有反应，但它们实际上并不理解特定词语的含义。)”可知，Clive Wynne对研究结果持怀疑态度，他认为狗只是对刺激做出反应，而不是真正理解具体词汇的含义。故选A项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建福州第一中学·期中）Motivation enables you to meet your basic needs as well as complete your life goals. You may hear of extrinsic motivation a lot. But do you know you also have a hidden motivator called intrinsic motivation (内驱力)? They are both very important, yet also different. Extrinsic motivation is driven by rewards, be it achieving high marks, earning lots of money, or becoming popular. Intrinsic motivation is all about enjoyment. For example, an intrinsic runner will run simply because he loves it. He is not training for a competition or trying to improve his records; he is running because he feels running is a part of him and enjoys it. Although it has no rewards, intrinsic motivation does bring positive change and can lead to better performance. Researchers found that middle school students who were intrinsically motivated were calmer and more positive. So when you find these students are also those who raise their hands most, please don’t feel strange. They like to communicate with their teachers. In fact, intrinsic motivation can be a more powerful motivator than extrinsic motivation. For example, if you are always measuring your success, you may live in dissatisfaction all the time. This is like being on “a hedonic treadmill (跑步机)”, where people are forced to buy the latest product. After buying it, buyers may feel empty and dissatisfied, and start hunting for another product to fill the empty hole in their heart. Likewise, after setting the next extrinsic goal, it is common to feel inspired. So intrinsic motivation is becoming an important tool for parents and educators. It is about being in the moment and enjoying life each step of the way. Therefore, instead of asking your kids to set the next goal, you should help them stay in the present and enjoy the moment. They should look inside to uncover what inspires them and do it for the act itself. If they love nature, they can just walk in a forest without tracking the distance or time. 1.Which of the following is driven by intrinsic motivation? A. Work for a pay rise. B. Study for a top college. C. Exercise as a hobby. D. Train for an Olympic medal. 2.How does a teenage boy with intrinsic motivation perform at school? A. He feels upset when failing the exam. B. He interacts with teachers actively. C. He finds other students strange. D. He competes mainly for high marks. 3.Why does the author mention “a hedonic treadmill” in Paragraph 4? A. To show the importance of new products. B. To prove the benefits of extrinsic motivation. C. To tell the possible problem of extrinsic motivation. D. To highlight intrinsic motivation’s long-term effects. 4.What should parents do to develop their kids’ intrinsic motivation? A. Push kids to track progress. B. Ask kids to set changeable goals. C. Guide kids to look within themselves. D. Encourage kids to seek external rewards. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。本文讨论了内在动机（内驱力）和外在动机的区别，强调了内在动机的重要性及其对个人成长和表现的积极影响，并建议家长和教育者如何培养孩子的内在动机。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“Intrinsic motivation is all about enjoyment. For example, an intrinsic runner will run simply because he loves it. He is not training for a competition or trying to improve his records; he is running because he feels running is a part of him and enjoys it.(内在动机完全是关于享受的。例如，一个内在动机驱动的跑步者跑步仅仅是因为他喜欢跑步。他不是为了比赛而训练，也不是为了改善自己的记录；他跑步是因为他觉得跑步是他的一部分，他喜欢跑步。)”可知，把锻炼当作爱好是由内在动机驱动的。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers found that middle school students who were intrinsically motivated were calmer and more positive. So when you find these students are also those who raise their hands most, please don’t feel strange. They like to communicate with their teachers.(研究人员发现，内在动机驱动的中学生更冷静、更积极。所以当你发现这些学生也是举手最多的学生时，请不要感到奇怪。他们喜欢与老师交流。)”可知，一个有内在动机的十几岁男孩在学校积极地与老师互动。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, if you are always measuring your success, you may live in dissatisfaction all the time. This is like being on “a hedonic treadmill”, where people are forced to buy the latest product.

Likewise, after setting the next extrinsic goal, it is common to feel inspired.(例如，如果你总是衡量自己的成功，你可能会一直生活在不满中。这就像是在“享乐跑步机”上，人们被迫购买最新的产品。购买后，买家可能会感到空虚和不满，并开始寻找另一个产品来填补他们心中的空虚。同样，在设定下一个外在目标后，人们通常会感到受到激励。)”可知，作者在第四段提到“享乐跑步机”是为了说明外在动机可能存在的问题。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Therefore, instead of asking your kids to set the next goal, you should help them stay in the present and enjoy the moment. They should look inside to uncover what inspires them and do it for the act itself.(因此，与其要求你的孩子设定下一个目标，不如帮助他们活在当下，享受这一刻。他们应该审视自己的内心，找出激发他们灵感的东西，并为了行为本身而去做。)”可知，父母应该引导孩子审视自己的内心来培养孩子的内在动机。故选C项。 主题语境04 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高一上·福建漳州第一中学-11月·期中）The Haenyeo are women from Jeju Island, South Korea. For centuries, they have made their living by diving (潜水) into the sea to harvest seafood like sea urchins and shellfish. Unlike other fishermen, they do not use oxygen (O₂) tanks or modern devices (设备). Instead, they depend only on their lungs (肺), holding their breath for each dive. Chris McKnight, an expert at the University of St. Andrews, said studying the Haenyeo is “as close as you get to studying a mermaid”. He and his team worked with seven divers, recording 1,786 dives. Special devices measured how long the women stayed underwater, how deep they went, and how much oxygen remained in their bodies. The results were surprising. The women spent more time underwater than any other people ever studied — from one to five hours each day. Unlike other animals that usually show lower heart rates and oxygen levels while diving, the Haenyeo had faster heartbeats and little drop in oxygen. This may be because their dives were frequent but shallow, usually 3 to 15 feet deep, lasting about 11 seconds each. What made their achievements even more amazing was their age: most Haenyeo were around 70 years old. This showed excellent health and strength. Researchers also found that these women could better control blood pressure and stand cold water. Study co-author Melissa Ilardo believed the Haenyeo may also be able to put up with high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), which usually makes people feel anxious. “The Haenyeo’s ability to spend so much time underwater is not only a scientific wonder but also a cultural treasure. Their story shows how human tradition and biology can work together to create amazing skills,” said McKnight. 1.How are the Haenyeo different from other fishermen? A. They use modern devices to fish. B. They dive without any breathing devices. C. They are all well-trained swimmers. D. They make a living by collecting seafood. 2.What does the study find about the Haenyeo’s time underwater? A. It’s longer than that of other humans studied. B. It affects their health condition. C. It often lasts for about 11 minutes each dive. D. It’s usually over five hours daily. 3.What does McKnight want to say in the last paragraph? A. The new research is a cultural treasure. B. Scientific training sounds more important. C. Human culture can shape physical abilities. D. People are naturally able to live near the sea. 4.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Unbelievable Women Divers of Jeju. B. The Secret to Practicing Diving Alone. C. A Surprising Discovery About the Sea. D. The Haenyeo’s Thought of Modern Life. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4.

Through a test carried out in China, a team of researchers from the University of Texas, Austin have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that can predict 70% of earthquakes up to seven days in advance. The research team believes that their method worked well because they used a simple machine learning method. Based on the team’s understanding of earthquake physics, the AI was provided with a set of data on earthquake, and then taught itself by using a five-year earthquake record database. After the learning process, the AI was able to predict earthquakes by listening and analyzing signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This achievement undoubtedly marks a milestone (里程碑) in the field of AI-powered earthquake prediction research. “Earthquakes arrive without warning,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a lead researcher at the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how well you are prepared. Even with the 70% accuracy, this is a huge achievement which could help reduce economic and human losses and contribute to earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although it remains to be seen whether this method will be as effective in other areas, the researchers believe that if used in areas with more earthquake tracking networks, their Al algorithms deliver even more accurate predictions. The next step is to test AI in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNethas 300 earthquake stations and a continuous recording history of over 6 years, making it an excellent testing ground for these purposes. In the long run, the authors hope to combine the AI system with physics-based models. This combined strategy could be particularly important in situations where data is poor or lacking. “There’s still a long way to go, but many advances like this, taken together, are what drive science forward,” said Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 1.How does the AI algorithm predict earthquakes? A. By using algorithms to collect data. B. By identifying data from the satellites. C. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. D. By understanding earthquake physics. 2.What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquake. B. The significance of developing the AI prediction. C. The importance of earthquake preparation. D. The limitations of current earthquake prediction methods. 3.What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Combining the system with physics-based models. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Improving earthquake tracking networks in Texas. D. Conducting tests of AI in Texas. 4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. AI: Reducing Earthquake Losses B. AI: Stopping Earthquake from Happening C. AI: Rewriting the Earthquake Preparation Rules D. AI: Predicting 70% Earthquakes 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D　4.

(德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究小组通过在中国进行的一项测试，开发出了一种人工智能算法，可以提前7天预测70%的地震。)”以及下文中对该项研究的介绍可知，本文主要介绍的是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究小组通过在中国进行的一项测试，开发了一种可以提前7天预测70%的地震的人工智能算法，所以标题“AI：预测70%的地震”概括了本文主题，适合为最佳标题。故选D项。 主题语境06 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·福建莆田第一中学·期中）It might surprise you to learn that dogs are playing an increasingly important role as conservationists. For centuries, they have been known as man’s best friends. Now, their unique abilities are being used to help protect some of the world’s most threatened species. Quick and loyal, dogs possess many qualities that make them ideal for fieldwork, but it’s their extraordinary sense of smell that makes them invaluable for conservation work. With around 220 million olfactory receptors(嗅觉受体)compared to just 5 million in humans, dogs can detect scents(气味)and analyze them with astonishing accuracy, devoting 40 times more of their brain to scent analysis than we do. Thanks to this incredible ability, some dogs are now being trained to save at-risk animals by sniffing(嗅)out their droppings. At the University of Washington’s Conservation Canines facility, 20 specially trained dogs have successfully tracked killer whale droppings, which only float briefly on the ocean’s surface. Analyzing these samples enables scientists to monitor the health of killer whale populations, which are under significant stress from food shortages, pollution, and boat traffic. Beyond tracking animal droppings, conservation dogs are also trained for live animal detection, further showcasing their abilities. They can locate rare species in their natural habitats. Additionally, they are now used to tackle the non-native species that threaten the survival of the local wildlife. Dogs also take on other important roles. For example, at Kenya’s Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer. While dogs may not be the ultimate solution to every conservation challenge, their incomparable abilities make them invaluable companions in the fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity. 1.Why are the figures mentioned in the second paragraph? A. To highlight the superiority of dogs’ sense of smell. B. To suggest the amazing accuracy of dogs’ analysis. C. To recognize the importance of conservation work. D. To show dogs’ impressive achievements in fieldwork. 2.How do dogs help protect killer whales? A. By tracking their movements. B. By detecting their droppings. C. By monitoring their populations. D. By analyzing the collected samples. 3.What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 4? A. Wildlife products are popular in African countries. B. Non-native species affect the survival of local wildlife. C. Dogs are used to detect and prevent illegal wildlife trade. D. Dogs can accurately locate the natural habitats of rare species. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To appeal to people to protect biodiversity. B. To report various environmental challenges. C. To introduce dogs’ roles in conservation efforts. D. To prove the conventional claim of dogs’ qualities. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4.

(凭借这种惊人的能力，一些狗狗如今接受训练，通过嗅探濒危动物的粪便来拯救它们。在华盛顿大学的‘环保犬’机构，20只经过特殊训练的狗狗成功追踪到了虎鲸的粪便——这些粪便仅会在海洋表面短暂漂浮。)”可知，狗狗通过探测虎鲸的粪便来帮助保护虎鲸。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For example, at Kenya’s Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer. (例如，在肯尼亚的蒙巴萨港，狗狗会嗅出犀牛角、象牙等非法野生动物制品。在非洲各地，它们奋战在打击非法狩猎的前线，成为强有力的安全力量助力者。)”可知，该例子说明狗狗被用于探测和阻止非法野生动物交易。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，第一段指出“狗狗在环保工作中发挥日益重要的作用”，随后段落分别介绍狗狗的嗅觉优势、通过嗅探粪便保护濒危动物、探测活体动物及打击非法野生动物交易等具体作用，最后总结狗狗在保护生物多样性中的价值。由此可知，作者写作本文的目的是介绍狗狗在环保工作中的作用。故选C项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建泉州四校联考·期中）Nowadays, handwriting seems to become less necessary, for young children learn to tap and touch screens before they have even learned to pick up a pencil or tie their shoelaces. Most of our written communication is done through texting on mobile phones or typing on a keyboard. And voice recognition softwares are becoming more and more advanced — making even keyboards unnecessary! So, are handwriting skills important to your child? Actually, handwriting is an exercise in eye-hand coordination (协调), an important part of visual-motor (视觉运动) skills, which are connected with achievements in study. Scientists found that developing fine visual-motor skills in early childhood can lead to not only writing success, but better performance in reading and math in elementary school. It was also found that kids who fail to write neatly and efficiently are often accused of being lazy, and this may affect their behavior and self-worth. Moreover, a study showed that when a group of children were asked to come up with ideas for an article, the ones with better handwriting were more active and had quicker minds. In some ways, handwriting helps their brains’ development. The first attempts at writing can be challenging for pre-school children — whose fine motor skills are not yet fully developed. But some skills to prepare for handwriting are simple to build at home and in preschool. Parents should provide lots of opportunities for kids to copy and draw shapes and simple pictures in early childhood before letters are introduced. Let your child copy your shapes in sand, or with chalks on a board before trying to draw the shapes on their own. Encourage your child to spend less time on electronic devices and more time on activities to improve eye-hand coordination. Let’s face it — technology is certain to continue developing and more research is needed to find the best ways to teach handwriting to young children. But, there’s plenty of evidence that the handwriting practice can provide young children with a good start in developing skills needed for a healthy and successful journey in school. 1.According to Paragraph 1, handwriting is . A. easy to learn on a touch screen B. used less frequently now C. more difficult than typewriting D. totally replaced by softwares 2.How does the author explain the benefits of handwriting? A. By presenting some research findings. B. By mentioning examples of the kids around him. C. By giving some news reports on hand-writing. D. By providing data about pupils with good grades. 3.What does the author suggest parents do? A. Keep young children away from electronic devices. B. Teach pre-school children to write letters with chalks. C. Help children get ready for handwriting before school. D. Encourage children to face writing challenges bravely. 4.What can be the best title for the text? A. Does poor handwriting really mean being lazy? B. Should handwriting be taken seriously in children’s growth? C. How can handwriting affect children’s self-confidence? D. Should homework be done through handwriting or typewriting? 【答案】1. B　2. A　3.

Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are connected with the upkeep of old buildings. Actually, keeping and making use of old architecture is one of the most environmentally-sound things we can do — more than the construction (建造) of any new architecture expected to be “green”. Aged communities, which have developed and changed naturally over a long period, hold unique cultures of their own. The buildings inside them are irreplaceable (不可替代的) to the environment. Choosing to pull down such architecture basically is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Constructing “green” can be about saving time-honored, local building traditions that value the local cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies. The construction supplies (建筑材料) and workmanship are also worth protecting, not simply because of the environmental cost of producing and transporting them, but for the fact that some of such supplies and the workmanship no longer live. For example, my little river cottage (别墅) in West Virginia, which was built with chestnut before the disappearance of the chestnut trees, may never again be sourced. However, the probable buyer planned to pull it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of downgrading the source but also goes against the idea of workable development. As the Preservation Green Lab report describes, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30% more practical (实用的) than a common present building to overcome the harmful climate (气候) change results connected to the construction, which focuses on the necessity of ongoing use of present buildings and communities, successfully stopping or decreasing (减少) the use of forests, farms, wildlife homes and open areas for new construction tasks. As Carl Elefante of Quinn- Evans architects artfully said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to the agreement that present buildings are worth more care and attention. 1.How do most people deal with old buildings? A. People treat them lightly. B. People rebuild them actively. C. People explore them fully. D. People treasure them heartily. 2.Why does the writer mention his little river cottage in paragraph 3? A. To prove the shortage of building supplies. B. To explain the difficulty of building houses. C. To show the connection to the old buildings. D. To point out the value of keeping old buildings. 3.What can we know from the numbers in paragraph 4 about old buildings? A. They are more practical than the new buildings. B. They can help avoid more environmental pollution. C. They require fewer supplies during the construction. D. They can clear away the bad influences on farms nearby. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. Culture worth lies in green buildings. B. Old buildings are cost-friendly. C. Old buildings should be valued higher. D. Building workmanship should be treasured. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍多数人忽视老建筑“绿色”价值，实则其在环保、文化、资源节约上意义重大，应得到更多重视与保护。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Old buildings are usually thought of as throwaways and suitable for being pulled down. (旧建筑通常被视为可丢弃的东西，适合被拆除)”可知，大多数人认为旧建筑是可丢弃的，适合拆除，也就是对待它们比较随意、不重视。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“The construction supplies (建筑材料) and workmanship are also worth protecting, not simply because of the environmental cost of producing and transporting them, but for the fact that some of such supplies and the workmanship no longer live. For example, my little river cottage (别墅) in West Virginia, which was built with chestnut before the disappearance of the chestnut trees, may never again be sourced. (建筑材料和工艺也值得保护，不仅仅是因为生产和运输它们的环境成本，还因为一些这样的材料和工艺已经不复存在。例如，我在西弗吉尼亚州的小河别墅，是在栗树消失前用栗木建造的，可能再也找不到这样的材料了)”可知，作者提到他的小河别墅是为了说明一些建筑材料和工艺已经不复存在，从而指出保护旧建筑的价值。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“As the Preservation Green Lab report describes, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30% more practical (实用的) than a common present building to overcome the harmful climate (气候) change results connected to the construction, which focuses on the necessity of ongoing use of present buildings and communities, successfully stopping or decreasing (减少) the use of forests, farms, wildlife homes and open areas for new construction tasks. (正如保护绿色实验室报告所描述的，一座比普通现有建筑实用30%的新建筑，需要10到80年才能克服与建筑相关的有害气候变化结果，这强调了持续使用现有建筑和社区的必要性，成功地停止或减少为新建筑任务使用森林、农场、野生动物家园和开放区域)”可知，老建筑无需经历新建过程的环境消耗，能帮助避免更多环境污染。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据全文核心观点，尤其是最后一段“Hopefully, the public will come to the agreement that present buildings are worth more care and attention.(希望公众能达成共识，即现有建筑值得更多关注与呵护)”可知，本文主要介绍了旧建筑的价值，包括其“绿色”价值、独特的文化价值、建筑材料和工艺的价值，以及持续使用旧建筑对环境的益处。文章强调了保护旧建筑的重要性，并呼吁公众更加重视和珍惜现有建筑。故选C项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建厦门松柏中学·期中）In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced, mass tourism that dominates (主宰) the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities. One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours. Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, “slow travel” has helped preserve (保存) endangered crafts and save dying traditions. However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility. As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic (真实的) experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget (预算) limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs. 1.Which is the benefit of slow travel? A. It can save money on traveling. B. It can be more environmentally friendly. C. It can increase the income of travel companies. D. It can allow travelers to visit more places hurriedly. 2.What can we learn about slow travel from the third paragraph? A. It has little impact on local economies. B. It focuses on interactions with travelers. C. It discourages travelers from learning about history. D. It may contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts. 3.What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in this context? A. desirable B. affordable C. practical D. classical 4.What can be inferred about the future of slow travel? A. It will cost less as time passes. B. It will only be accessible to rich travelers. C. It may become more popular in the future. D. It will take the place of traditional tourism entirely. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“慢旅行”这一概念，阐述其减少环境影响、深化文化理解的优势，提及面临的挑战及未来发展趋势。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. (慢旅行的核心原则之一是减少环境影响。通过选择入住当地经营的住宿、在家庭经营的餐厅用餐、使用公共交通或自行车，旅行者能大幅降低碳足迹。)”可知，慢旅行能减少环境影响、降低碳足迹，具备更环保的优势。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In some rural areas, ‘slow travel’ has helped preserve (保存) endangered crafts and save dying traditions. (在一些农村地区，‘慢旅行’助力保护濒危手工艺，挽救濒临消失的传统。)”可知，慢旅行对传统手工艺的保护有积极作用，可能有助于传统手工艺的传承。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget (预算) limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. (此外，受时间或预算限制，慢旅行可能并非对所有人都feasible。对于工作繁忙的职场人士或假期有限的家庭来说，在一个目的地待数周似乎不现实。)”可知，对于工作繁忙的职场人士或假期有限的家庭来说，在一个目的地待数周似乎不现实，因此慢旅行可能并非对所有人是切实可行的。故划线词与C选项“practical(切实可行的)”为同义词。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs. (尽管面临诸多挑战，慢旅行运动仍在持续发展。旅行者们越来越意识到自身对环境和文化的潜在影响，许多人正在寻求更真实且可持续的方式来探索世界。因此，旅游公司也开始提供更多慢旅行的选项，比如更长的民宿住宿和文化体验项目。)”可知，慢旅行趋势在发展，旅行者需求增加且旅游公司积极配合，由此可推断其未来可能会更受欢迎。故选C项。 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建顺昌县第一中学·期中）Recently, videos of using AI to choose watermelons became very popular on social media, showing the technology can pick sweet fruit. As watermelon season comes, many people find buying a watermelon like opening a surprise box. Will it be a dud? To put AI to the test, a reporter from xxcb.cn visited a store in Changsha, Central China’s Hunan Province to conduct an experiment. The reporter took photos and numbered eight watermelons, which made it easy to tell them apart and compare them later, and then asked AI to choose the sweetest one. One AI software program admitted(承认)it couldn’t judge sweetness of the numbered watermelons. “Usually, methods to determine the sweetness of a watermelon include observing the appearance, weight, and sound of the watermelon. Tapping (拍) the watermelon can also be used to determine its sweetness.” the AI software explained. Another gave tips on what to look for in choosing a sweet watermelon. “Based on the shape of the watermelon, rounder watermelons usually show a more uniform internal structure, which may be a sign of higher sweetness. In the image, watermelons 1 and 8 look rounder and larger,suggesting higher sweetness. However, the final sweetness needs to be confirmed by taste,” the AI software said. Following the AI’s recommendation, the reporter decided to put these two to the test. After cutting open watermelons 1 and 8, both were red and juicy, but watermelon one was slightly sweeter. So, is using AI to pick fruit dependable? According to an AI expert, AI can provide helpful suggestions based on visual(视觉的) and base knowledge, but it’s not fully right. Although AI can be a useful tool for those unsure how to choose a melon, experienced people may still depend on traditional methods like tapping and smelling. Eventually, the decision on which watermelon to choose may still come down to personal preference and practical experience. 1.What does the underlined word “dud” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Something small. B. Something expensive. C. Something tasteless. D. Something seasonal. 2.Why did the first AI admit its inability? A. It didn’t get clear melon photos. B. It needed to collect more information. C. It hadn’t answered similar questions. D. It considered the shape unimportant. 3.How did the second AI differ from the first one? A. It found out sweetness by sound. B. It showed three methods to choose. C. It offered weight-based tips. D. It connected sweetness to sizes. 4.What is the author’s attitude toward AI picking melons? A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Worried. D. Unclear. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了记者通过实验来验证使用AI挑选甜西瓜的可靠性。 (1)题解析： 词义猜测题。前文提到“ As watermelon season comes, many people find buying a watermelon like opening a surprise box. Will it be a dud?(随着西瓜季的到来，许多人会发现购买西瓜就像打开一个惊喜盒子一样令人兴奋。但最终买到的会是dud吗？)”句子中将买西瓜比作开盲盒，并提出了“Will it be a dud?”的疑问。根据“surprise box”的语境以及人们买西瓜时担心不好吃的普遍心理，可以推断“dud”最可能指代的是令人失望的、无味的东西。C项“Something tasteless(无味的东西)”符合此语境。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One AI software program admitted(承认) it couldn’t judge sweetness of the numbered watermelons. “Usually, methods to determine the sweetness of a watermelon include observing the appearance, weight, and sound of the watermelon. Tapping (拍) the watermelon can also be used to determine its sweetness.” the AI software explained.(一款人工智能软件坦言，它无法判断这些编号西瓜的甜度。“通常，判断西瓜甜度的方法包括观察西瓜的外观、重量和声音。拍打西瓜也可用来判断其甜度。”该人工智能软件解释道。)”可知，第一个AI承认无法判断是因为它倾向于结合更多的数据。它需要结合外观、重量、声音等多种数据，而仅靠照片提供的信息不足。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。文章第三段“Based on the shape of the watermelon, rounder watermelons usually show a more uniform internal structure, which may be a sign of higher sweetness. In the image, watermelons 1 and 8 look rounder and larger,suggesting higher sweetness.(根据西瓜的形状来看，较圆的西瓜通常内部结构更为均匀，这可能意味着其甜度更高。在图中，西瓜 1 和 8 看起来更圆更大，这表明它们的甜度更高。)”可知，第二个AI将西瓜的甜度与其形状(更圆)和大小(更大)联系起来。D项“It connected sweetness to sizes(它将甜度与大小联系起来)”准确概括了这一点。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“According to an AI expert, AI can provide helpful suggestions based on visual(视觉的) and base knowledge, but it’s not fully right. Although AI can be a useful tool for those unsure how to choose a melon, experienced people may still depend on traditional methods like tapping and smelling. Eventually, the decision on which watermelon to choose may still come down to personal preference and practical experience. (据一位人工智能专家称，人工智能能够根据视觉信息和基础知识提供有用的建议，但其结论并非完全准确。尽管人工智能能够为那些不知如何挑选西瓜的人提供有用的帮助，但经验丰富的人们可能仍会依赖诸如轻敲和闻味等传统方法。最终，选择哪种西瓜可能还是要取决于个人喜好和实际经验。)”指出AI并非绝对正确，传统方法仍有价值，最终选择依赖个人偏好和经验”可推断， 既肯定AI的辅助作用，也不回避其局限性，态度中立客观。故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建泉州四校联考·期中）If you have a smartphone, you probably use its front-facing camera for selfies (自拍) and the occasional video call. You might use your next smartphone’s front camera for the same thing, but there’s a chance that the camera won’t completely turn off once you’re done with it. This week, chipmaker Qualcomm revealed its latest Snapdragon processor (处理器), which will power many of the high-end Android smartphones that you’ll see in stores in 2022, including models from Motorola, Sony and OnePlus. And a new feature built into that chip could allow smartphone makers to keep those front-facing cameras on all the time in a sort of low-power mode, waiting and watching for a face to appear in front of it. The idea of a camera that stays on as long as your phone does seems deeply unsettling, even in an age where people are convinced that smartphones are already overheard (偷听) on our conversations. So why is a company responsible for building the brains of our smartphones trying to make “always-on” cameras a common feature? In time, a phone using this new chip could actually unlock itself when it sees your face, and automatically lock itself again when you’re not looking at it anymore. Or, if it sees someone else’s face next to yours, the phone could automatically hide notifications (通知) so no one else can see what your incoming emails or Slack messages are about. The benefit of a phone is that it knows to act differently when you’re not looking back. As it turns out, the Qualcomm tech that could make such features possible is conceptually pretty basic. “What’s happening here is to find out: is there a face, or is there not a face,” Heape told me. “There is not a photograph taken. There is no video being recorded.” He also said that none of camera data leaves the chip when it’s being analyzed (分析) for faces. 1.Why does the author mention “selfies” and “video call” in paragraph 1? A. To advertise a product. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To give an example. D. To lead to the topic. 2.What is special about the latest Snapdragon processor? A. It ensures a longer stay-on time. B. It prevents users being overheard. C. It is fit for all Android smartphones. D. It keeps the front-facing cameras always on. 3.What may be people’s attitude to the new feature of the new smartphones? A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Positive. D. Critical. 4.What could be inferred from Heape’s words? A. Smartphones with the new chip are safe to use. B. Smartphones with the new chip will be popular. C. Face analyzing data are kept through the Internet. D. Private needs are considered to make the new features. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最新的Snapdragon处理器的一项新的功能，它使前置摄像头始终处于打开状态，并介绍了这个功能的用处。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“You might use your next smartphone’s front camera for the same thing, but there’s a chance that the camera won’t completely turn off once you’re done with it.(你可能会用下一部智能手机的前置摄像头来做同样的事情，但一旦你这样做了，摄像头可能不会完全关闭)”和第二段“And a new feature built into that chip could allow smartphone makers to keep those front-facing cameras on all the time in a sort of low-power mode, waiting and watching for a face to appear in front of it.(该芯片内置的一项新功能可以让智能手机制造商以一种低功耗的模式一直打开前置摄像头，等待并观察前面出现的人脸)”可知，文章第一段首先介绍人们经常会用智能手机自拍和视频通话，接下来文章介绍了一种新型手机芯片的新的功能，会以一种低功耗的模式一直打开前置摄像头，如果你用手机进行自拍和视频通话，摄像头可能不会完全关闭，由此可知，作者在第一段提到“自拍”和“视频通话”是为了引出本文所要讲述的话题。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“And a new feature built into that chip could allow smartphone makers to keep those front-facing cameras on all the time in a sort of low-power mode, waiting and watching for a face to appear in front of it.(该芯片内置的一项新功能可以让智能手机制造商以一种低功耗的模式一直打开前置摄像头，等待并观察前面出现的人脸)”可知，这种最新的Snapdragon处理器可知让智能手机制造商以一种低功耗的模式一直打开前置摄像头，由此可知，最新的Snapdragon处理器的特别之处在于它使前置摄像头始终处于打开状态。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“The idea of a camera that stays on as long as your phone does seems deeply unsettling, even in an age where people are convinced that smartphones are already overheard (偷听) on our conversations.(即使在一个人们相信智能手机已经被偷听到我们的谈话的时代，只要你的手机一直开着，相机就能一直开着，这种想法似乎也令人深感不安)”可知，人们认为这种让手机前置摄像头始终处于打开状态的新功能是令人深感不安的，由此可知，人们对新智能手机的新功能感到担心。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段““What’s happening here is to find out: is there a face, or is there not a face,” Heape told me. “There is not a photograph taken. There is no video being recorded.” He also said that none of camera data leaves the chip when it’s being analyzed (分析) for faces.(“我们现在要弄清楚的是：这里到底有没有人脸，” 希普告诉我，“没有拍摄照片，也没有录制视频。” 他还表示，在芯片对人脸进行分析时，所有摄像头数据都不会离开芯片)”可知，从Heape的话中我们可以得知，使用新芯片的智能手机没有拍照，没有录像，并且在分析人脸时，没有任何摄像头数据离开芯片，不会泄露用户数据和信息，是安全的，由此可知，从Heape的话中可以推断出使用新芯片的智能手机是安全的。故选A项。 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建莆田第二中学·期中）Robots have learned to drive on Mars, carry out brain operation and defeat master chess players. But when it comes to baking, making tasty desserts is far from a piece of cake. After many failed attempts, US researchers have successfully 3D printed a cherry cheesecake, although the outcome is unlikely to trouble the world’s dessert masters. In the latest experiment, researchers tried various cheesecake designs. In early attempts, which involved simply adding ingredients one by one, the team found that the cake quickly turned into a mixture. Through trial and error, they discovered that a more architectural solution was needed. Walls of biscuit base were required throughout the cake to hold the softer ingredients, while triangular (三角的) biscuit supports on the inside were necessary to keep the cake from falling apart. “To print the cake successfully, we need to put the ingredients together in a careful way,” said the team leader Cooper. Although much work is still needed to collect data and improve the designs, scientists are hopeful that once mastered, 3D printing could replace traditional cooking, allowing food to be adapted to different nutritional(营养)needs. “We have a huge problem with the low nutrition of processed foods,” said Cooper. “3D food printing will still produce processed foods, but perhaps the silver lining will be, for some people, a better control of nutrition based on personalized needs.” The team said 3D printing could also allow chefs to create entirely new food experiences, with flavours and textures (质地) placed very precisely. “It is particularly practical for the plant-based meat market, where texture and flavour need to be carefully designed to taste like real meats,” said Cooper. And, with more concern about food safety, food prepared with less human handling could lower the risk of food-related illness and the spread of disease. According to Cooper, this seems like a win-win solution for all of us. 1.Why does the author mention robots in paragraph 1? A. To show the disadvantages of 3D printing. B. To introduce the popularity of using robots. C. To stress the difficulty of 3D printing desserts. D. To explain the function of robots in different areas. 2.What is the key to the success of the 3D printed cheesecake? A. The thickness of biscuit walls. B. The flexibility of inside support. C. The unique taste of ingredients. D. The structural design of the cake. 3.What do the underlined words “the silver lining” in paragraph 3 mean? A. The side effect. B. The main reason. C. The positive aspect. D. The best solution. 4.What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning 3D printed food? A. Promising markets. B. Additional benefits. C. Practical concerns. D. Technical challenges. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了美国研究人员成功地用3D打印技术制作了樱桃芝士蛋糕。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Robots have learned to drive on Mars, carry out brain operation and defeat master chess players. But when it comes to baking, making tasty desserts is far from a piece of cake. After many failed attempts, US researchers have successfully 3D printed a cherry cheesecake, although the outcome is unlikely to trouble the world’s dessert masters.(机器人已经学会了在火星上驾驶，进行大脑操作和击败国际象棋大师。但是说到烘焙，做出美味的甜点可不是小菜一碟。经过多次失败的尝试，美国研究人员成功地用3D 技术打印出了一个樱桃奶酪蛋糕，尽管这个结果不太可能困扰世界甜点大师们)”可知，机器人能在火星上驾驶，但是却很难做出美味的甜品，由此可推知，作者在第一段中提到机器人是为了强调3D打印甜点是有难度的。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Through trial and error, they discovered that a more architectural solution was needed. Walls of biscuit base were required throughout the cake to hold the softer ingredients, while triangular (三角的) biscuit supports on the inside were necessary to keep the cake from falling apart.(通过反复试验，他们发现需要一个更加体系结构化的解决方案。整个蛋糕需要饼干底座的墙壁来容纳较软的成分，而内部的三角形饼干支架是必要的，以防止蛋糕掉下来)”可推知，3D打印芝士蛋糕成功的关键是蛋糕的结构设计。故选D。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句子“3D food printing will still produce processed foods, but perhaps the silver lining will be, for some people, a better control of nutrition based on personalized needs.(3D食品打印仍将生产加工食品，但也许the silver lining将是，对一些人来说，基于个性化的需求能更好地控制营养)”中but可知，前后是转折关系，3D食品打印仍将生产加工食品，这是不好的一面，但是对一些人来说，基于个性化的需求能更好地控制营养，这是它的积极方面。由此猜测，划线短语the silver lining意为“积极的方面”，故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“And, with more concern about food safety, food prepared with less human handling could lower the risk of food-related illness and the spread of disease. According to Cooper, this seems like a win-win solution for all of us.(此外，由于人们对食物安全的关注日益增加，以较少人手处理的食物可以降低与食物有关的疾病和疾病传播的风险。据库珀所说，这对我们来说是个双赢的解决方案)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了关于3D打印食品的附加好处，故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建漳州第一中学-11月·期中）On social media, reading has taken on new styles. Many readers now create colorful and detailed notes, known as marginalia (书页批注). These marks sometimes cover entire pages and may even match the color of a book’s cover. While some see this trend (趋势) as creative and personal, others question whether writing in books is a bad habit or a useful practice. Yet marginalia are hardly a modern invention. From Leonardo da Vinci to modern writers, generations of readers have long left their thoughts in the margins. Such notes often provide valuable insights for later readers and occasionally reshape the understanding of the text. In recent years, bestselling novelist Ann Patchett released a special edition with notes of her novel Tom Lake to raise money for bookstores, showing how marginalia can generate cultural and financial value. Scientists have also examined the phenomenon scientifically. A study in Frontiers in Psychology recorded brain activity and found that writing by hand uses more parts of the brain than typing. This suggests that the physical act of writing, including marginalia, deepens memory and comprehension. Maryanne Wolf at UCLA further argued that making notes enables readers to go beyond the author’s ideas and discover their own understanding. In education, marginalia also plays a role. Turkish professor Demet Yayli observed that taking notes encourages deep reading, helps students clearly express their views, and strengthens their learner autonomy. With greater autonomy, students are able to make decisions in learning and take responsibility for their progress, rather than wait for directions. Although note styles may appear unusual — underlining every line of a favorite character or marking romantic passages — experts agree that as long as the practice aids comprehension, any style is acceptable. Writing in the margins, far from being harmful, can personalize texts and enrich intellectual engagement. 1.According to the first paragraph, why has marginalia caused debate? A. It changes the appearance of the book. B. Its true value is doubted. C. Readers enjoy colorful notes. D. Books should follow trends. 2.Why was Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To explain marginalia is a bad habit. B. To say marginalia is not something new. C. To show marginalia can create cultural value. D. To prove books with marginalia tend to be expensive. 3.How did scientists examine the effects of handwriting? A. By comparing writing topics. B. By collecting memory test scores. C. By tracking brain activity. D. By recalling the author’s ideas. 4.What does the underlined word “autonomy” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Importance. B. Curiosity. C. Creativity. D. Independence. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了社交媒体时代下阅读的新形式——书页批注（marginalia），并从历史、科学研究及教育三个维度分析了其价值与意义。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“While some see this trend (趋势) as creative and personal, others question whether writing in books is a bad habit or a useful practice. (虽然有些人认为这种趋势是创造性的和个性化的，但其他人质疑在书中写作是一种坏习惯还是一种有益的实践。)”可知，书页批注会引起争论是因为它的真正价值被怀疑。故选B。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“Yet marginalia are hardly a modern invention. From Leonardo da Vinci to modern writers, generations of readers have long left their thoughts in the margins. (然而，书页批注很难说是现代发明。从Leonardo da Vinci到现代作家，几代读者长期以来都把自己的想法留在书的空白处。)”可知，在第二段作者提到了Leonardo da Vinci是为了说书页批注并不是什么新鲜事。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“A study in Frontiers in Psychology recorded brain activity and found that writing by hand uses more parts of the brain than typing. (《心理学前沿》（Frontiers in Psychology）上的一项研究记录了大脑活动，发现手写比打字能调动大脑更多区域。)”可知，科学家们通过追踪大脑活动来检验手写的影响。故选C。 (4)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“students are able to make decisions in learning and take responsibility for their progress, rather than wait for directions (学生们能够在学习过程中自主做出决策，并对自己的学习进展负责，而非坐等指示)”可知，做笔记能鼓励深度阅读，帮助学生清晰地表达自己的观点，并增强他们的学习自主性，划线词autonomy的意思是“自主性”，和independence意思相近。故选D。 主题语境05 人与自然-环境 （25-26高一上·福建厦门第一中学·期中）The public nowadays has a misunderstanding of forest fires, believing that fires should be kept out of every type of forest. Many of us can recall Smokey the Bear’s famous warning: “Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires”. However, that’s not always the case. Under the right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, uncontrollable wildfires. After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into recently burned areas to feed on these newly available foods. Some reptiles and amphibians such as the snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire. As Herbert Stoddard put it, “One of the most harmful things modern man has done to birds has been his attempt to exclude fire from fire-type pine (松树) forests. Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes, lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被) and can no longer support birds which depend on periodic burning for their food supply and proper cover.” If you are asked to picture the forest floor, what do you see? Pine needles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind — all sources of fuel. If these fuel sources build up without any type of removal, the ‘fuel load’ can lead to fires which are huge disasters to forests and people alike. In contrast, prescribed fires can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at a proper and manageable level. They can also greatly reduce the spread of pest insects and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species. Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the growth of trees, wildflowers and other various plants. Many organizations work to promote fire on the landscape. Smoky Bear even has an updated warning: “Only YOU can prevent wildfires,” as the Forest Service has over the last few decades developed policies and measures to include prescribed fire as a useful tool, as well as continuing their work to prevent and fight wildfires. 1.What can benefit birds according to Herbert Stoddard? A. Forest bushes. B. Periodic burning. C. Fuel sources. D. Pine forests. 2.What does the underlined word “prescribed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Frequent. B. Wild. C. Planned. D. Damaging. 3.Why do forest professionals need to conduct fire every couple of years according to the passage? A. To keep the forest in balance. B. To keep the fuel rich in the forest. C. To put out wildfires. D. To remove tree and plant species. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To prevent the use of prescribed fire in the forest. B. To promote the complete exclusion of fire from forests. C. To educate people on positive aspects of controlled fires. D. To encourage the public to remove sources of forest fuels. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了公众对森林火灾其实存在误解，适当条件下的火灾对环境有益处，并有助于防止更大规模无法控制的野火。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中Herbert Stoddard所说的话“Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes, lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被) and can no longer support birds which depend on periodic burning for their food supply and proper cover. (不出几年，大多数森林就会被灌木丛堵塞，失去草原般的植被，无法再养活依靠周期性燃烧获得食物供应和适当掩护的鸟类)”可知，对Herbert Stoddard而言，周期性的燃烧对鸟类是有益的，为它们提供食物和适当掩护。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at a proper and manageable level (森林专业人员可以每两年使用一次，以使森林燃料保持在适当和可管理的水平)”可知，专业人员使用这种火有固定的频率，目的是更好地管控森林燃料，再结合所给选项可推知，画线词意思应该与Planned“有计划的”相近，这是人为事先计划好的火。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“They can also greatly reduce the spread of pest insects and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species. Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the growth of trees, wildflowers and other various plants. (它们还可以大大减少害虫和疾病的传播，并清除不需要的树木和植物物种。此外，它们可以创造和维持重要的长满草的野生动物栖息地，促进树木、野花和其他各种植物的生长)”可知，这种火灾可以帮助森林生态系统清理有害的、不需要的生物，促进有益的生物的生长。由此可知，森林专业人员这样做是为了保持森林的平衡。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“The public nowadays has a misunderstanding of forest fires, believing that fires should be kept out of every type of forest. (现在公众对森林火灾有一种误解，认为任何类型的森林都不应该发生火灾)”和“Under the right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, uncontrollable wildfires. (在适当的条件下，如果安全进行，火可以创造许多环境效益，并有助于防止更大、无法控制的野火)”可知，作者想破除公众对森林火灾存在的误解，向读者普及正确的理解：适当条件下的火灾对环境有益处，并有助于防止更大规模无法控制的野火。因此，作者的写作目的是教育人们了解受控制的火灾的积极影响。故选C项。 主题语境06 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·福建厦门第六中学·期中）A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet. The report also showed that nearly half of the respondents (受访者) said that such distress affected them daily, and three-quarters agreed with the statement that “the future is frightening.” This, and many other studies, show clearly that climate change is not just a threat to the environment. It also poses a very real threat to our mental health. Psychologists have classified these feelings of sadness, distress, and worry about the current climate emergency as eco-anxiety. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the “intense physical and mental discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system.” Eco-anxiety doesn’t just affect young people. It also affects researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality discovered in their findings, and it affects the poor people across the globe, who hopelessly bear the harmful impacts of climate breakdown. In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods destroy regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience mental distress. The cause of this mental distress is absolutely external. According to Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Take eco-anxiety as a tool for good-as an emotion that can urge people to act in protection of our planet. This is why, in 2024, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and apply for jobs that seek sustainable development. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy—we will solve it by taking action. 1.What does the underlined word “distress” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Shock. B. Anxiety. C. Happiness. D. Anger. 2.What is eco-anxiety according to the Climate Psychology Alliance? A. It is a strong reaction to the natural disasters. B. It is a kind of mental disease for the young people. C. It is a physical and mental discomfort when we meet difficulties. D. It is a strong physical and mental discomfort for the dangerous climate changes. 3.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. The process of eco-anxiety. B. The impact of eco-anxiety. C. The causes of eco-anxiety. D. The benefits of eco-anxiety. 4.What’s the approach to solving eco-anxiety according to Caroline Hickman? A. Defeat it with a therapy. B. Just wait for a good solution. C. Join the fight for climate justice. D. Use it to urge people to protect our earth. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. B　4.

It also affects researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality discovered in their findings, and it affects the poor people across the globe, who hopelessly bear the harmful impacts of climate breakdown.(生态焦虑不仅仅影响年轻人。它还影响到从事气候和生态科学工作的研究人员，他们被自己发现的现实所累，它还影响到全球的穷人，他们无可救药地承受着气候崩溃的有害影响。)”可知，第3段主要讨论了生态焦虑的影响。故选B。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容“According to Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Take eco-anxiety as a tool for good-as an emotion that can urge people to act in protection of our planet.(Bath大学研究生态焦虑的研究员Caroline Hickman表示，任何经历这些情绪的人对气候危机的反应都是完全自然和理性的。她的建议吗？把生态焦虑作为一种工具，作为一种情绪，可以敦促人们采取行动保护我们的星球。)”可知，根据Caroline Hickman的说法，解决生态焦虑的方法是用它来敦促人们保护我们的地球。故选D。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·福建泉州第五中学·期中）How fast do you listen? Hollywood actor Glen Powell likes 1x listening speed, saying, “I want to hear people talk at a normal human rate,” while American comedian Bowen Yang believes 1.8x is the perfect pace. Their debate went viral earlier this year in an advertisement for a streaming platform, which was criticized for suggesting that people who listen quickly are unusual. The controversy reflects a broader change in how people consume digital media. Surveys support this observation. A survey showed that 31% of Americans aged 18-29 listen faster than 1x, compared with only 8% of those over 45. To meet this demand, many platforms such as Apple, Spotify, Netflix and YouTube now provide fast playback (播放) options. Some even allow speeds up to 4x for premium users. The appeal is easy to understand: faster playback can save a large amount of time. YouTube once reported that its viewers together saved more than 900 years per day thanks to this feature. For busy students and workers, such efficiency is attractive. But does speeding affect comprehension? The average person speaks at a rate of about 150 words per minute, but most brains are capable of processing information faster than that, says Marcus Pearce, a cognitive scientist at Queen Mary University of London. A recent meta-analysis led by academics at the University of Waterloo in Canada found that up to 1.5x there was not much of a difference in performance, although scores started to decrease noticeably as playback speeds approached or exceeded 2x. The practice has also raised different opinions. From the platforms’ perspective, faster speeds mean users consume more content, which increases advertising income. But many performers argue that something artistic is lost. Reading aloud involves pacing, tone and pause, and rushing may damage the quality of a performance. Imagine the famous monologues (独白) in Hamlet delivered at double speed — much of the meaning would disappear. Despite the disagreements, fast playback has become part of daily life for many people. For them, to speed or not to speed is no longer a real question. 1.What can be learned about the controversy from paragraph 1? A. An advertisement is well received. B. People prefer different listening speeds. C. Digital media is a topic of much debate. D. Streaming platforms are part of daily life. 2.Why did many platforms introduce faster playback options? A. To attract more elderly listeners. B. To respond to the users’ needs. C. To help people’s comprehension. D. To cut content production costs. 3.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Hamlet? A. To stress fast speed harms art. B. To show people favor classic works. C. To prove actors dislike fast playback. D. To suggest modern audiences lack patience. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The need for fast playback B. The argument over an advertisement C. Higher speed, more profit D. Speedier streaming, less meaning 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. A　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章围绕数字媒体快速播放展开，介绍了不同人群的速度偏好、平台推出该功能的原因，以及其节省时间的优势与超2倍速影响理解、损害艺术性的争议。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“How fast do you listen?

The controversy reflects a broader change in how people consume digital media.(你听的速度有多快？好莱坞演员格伦·鲍威尔喜欢以1倍的速度听，他说道：“我希望听到人们以正常的人类语速说话。”而美国喜剧演员鲍文·杨则认为1.8倍的速度才是最理想的节奏。今年早些时候，他们关于此话题的讨论在一家流媒体平台的广告中广为传播，该广告因暗示快速听的人很不寻常而受到批评。这场争议反映了人们消费数字媒体方式的更广泛变化)”可知，人们对收听速度的偏好存在差异。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Surveys support this observation. A survey showed that 31% of Americans aged 18-29 listen faster than 1x, compared with only 8% of those over 45. To meet this demand, many platforms such as Apple, Spotify, Netflix and YouTube now provide fast playback (播放) options. Some even allow speeds up to 4x for premium users.(调查结果也证实了这一观点。一项调查显示，18至29岁的美国人中有31%的用户播放速度超过1倍，而45岁以上的用户中这一比例仅为 8%。为了满足这一需求，像苹果、Spotify、Netflix 和YouTube这样的许多平台现在都提供了快速播放选项。有些平台甚至为付费用户提供了高达4倍的播放速度)”可知，许多平台都推出了更快的播放选项是为了满足用户的需求。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段“The practice has also raised different opinions. From the platforms’ perspective, faster speeds mean users consume more content, which increases advertising income. But many performers argue that something artistic is lost. Reading aloud involves pacing, tone and pause, and rushing may damage the quality of a performance. Imagine the famous monologues (独白) in Hamlet delivered at double speed — much of the meaning would disappear.(这种做法也引发了不同的观点。从平台的角度来看，更快的播放速度意味着用户会收听收看更多内容，从而增加了广告收入。但许多表演者则认为，艺术性的东西会有所损失。朗读需要节奏、语调和停顿，匆忙进行可能会损害表演的质量。想象一下，在《哈姆雷特》中那些著名的独白以两倍的速度朗读——其中大部分含义都会消失)”可知，作者提及哈姆雷特的目的是强调速度过快会损害艺术。故选A。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是最后一段“Despite the disagreements, fast playback has become part of daily life for many people. For them, to speed or not to speed is no longer a real question.(尽管存在分歧，但快速回放已经成为许多人日常生活的一部分。对他们来说，加速或不加速不再是一个真正的问题)”可知，开篇通过名人争论引出 “播放速度” 争议，反映数字媒体消费习惯变化。中间介绍快速播放的普及（用户需求驱动）、优势（节省时间）、争议（影响理解、损害艺术）。结尾强调快速播放已成为许多人的日常生活一部分。因此推断全文围绕 “快速播放” 的需求、普及、争议展开，核心是 “快速播放的必要性与相关讨论”，选项 A（The need for fast playback）最能概括主旨。故选A。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建厦泉四地五校联考·期中）If you are longing for a hike in Alaska and aren’t sure where to star, here are our favorites.

To continue enjoying this amazing world, both travelers and the travel industry must change their actions to be more environmentally friendly. A report reads: “At this important moment in climate history, if there is a lack of actions, by 2040 many of the world’s favorite destinations will be forced to go virtual (虚拟的).” What is sustainable travel? It is about traveling in a way that reduces negative impact (影响) on the climate and environment, as well as the communities and people we visit. For many years, the attention around sustainable travel was in need of reducing environmental pollution. While it is still important, there is now an even more pressing issue. With the growth of a private market that means local communities aren’t getting as many benefits from tourism as they should, change is needed more than ever. To solve this problem, we need to rethink how we see travel. Instead of just focusing on our own experiences, we should consider the needs of our hosts while our hopes for a fun-filled holiday. All it takes is a little thoughtful planning. One of the most useful ways you can make a difference when traveling is to reduce your carbon footprint. Wherever you choose to go, your transport will likely cause most of your CO2 emissions (排放物). It’s simple: traveling shorter distances and using less fuel (燃料) will make a big difference. And by doing so, you can visit more places and benefit more communities and people. And traveling out of peak season can be a more meaningful experience. You’ll avoid the crowds at popular sites and find lower prices for hotels, restaurants and activities. For local people who work in tourism and are seasonal workers, the money they make outside of busy periods is much valued and needed. Another impactful way to be more sustainable is to stay in places owned by the local community rather than chain hotels. It means the money you spend goes directly to local people who are serving you and need it most. 1.Why does the author mention the report in paragraph 1? A. To try to explain what sustainable travel is. B. To point out the main idea of the text. C. To show why sustainable travel is necessary. D. To present climate change’s effect on travel. 2.What does “an even more pressing issue” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Climate change. B. Environmental pollution. C. Fast growth of tourism. D. Little attention on locals. 3.What does the author suggest a sustainable traveler do? A. Travel less. B. Choose long trips. C. Make a package tour. D. Try off-season travel. 4.Why are community-owned hotels recommended? A. They provide better service for guests. B. They are friendlier to the environment. C. They help local people make more money. D. They are the main part of the local economy. 5.Which is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To prove sustainable travel is the only way to protect tourism places. B. To say sustainable travel should balance travelers, locals and the environment. C. To tell readers community-owned places are key to sustainable travel. D. To show solving pollution is more important than helping locals. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. D　4. C　5. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍可持续旅行的定义，指出其除减少环境影响外，还需关注当地社区利益，并给出缩短行程、淡季出行、选择社区自营住宿等建议，强调平衡旅行者、当地人和环境的重要性。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Sustainable travel is an idea that many experts within the travel industry agree on. To continue enjoying this amazing world, both travelers and the travel industry must change their actions to be more environmentally friendly. A report reads: “At this important moment in climate history, if there is a lack of actions, by 2040 many of the world’s favorite destinations will be forced to go virtual.”(可持续旅行是旅游业内众多专家都认同的一个理念。为了继续享受这个神奇的世界，游客和旅游业都必须改变自己的行为方式，变得更加环保。一份报告指出：“在气候历史上的这一重要时刻，如果缺乏行动的话，到 2040 年，世界上许多人们钟爱的旅游目的地将被迫转为虚拟形式。”)”可知，作者在第一段中提及这份报告来说明可持续旅行为何是必要的。故选C。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段“With the growth of a private market that means local communities aren’t getting as many benefits from tourism as they should, change is needed more than ever.(随着私营市场的不断发展，这意味着当地社区从旅游业中获得的收益远未达到应有的水平，因此变革的需求比以往任何时候都更为迫切)”可知，当地社区从旅游业中获得的收益远未达到应有的水平，故第二段中“一个更为紧迫的问题”指的是对当地社区关注不足。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And traveling out of peak season can be a more meaningful experience.(而在非旅游旺季出行则能带来更有意义的体验)”可知，作者建议可持续旅行者尝试淡季出行。故选D。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another impactful way to be more sustainable is to stay in places owned by the local community rather than chain hotels. It means the money you spend goes directly to local people who are serving you and need it most.(另一种更具可持续性的做法是选择入住当地社区所拥有的酒店，而非连锁酒店。这意味着你所花费的钱会直接流向那些为你服务、最需要这笔钱的当地居民手中)”可知，推荐社区所拥有的酒店是因为它们能帮助当地居民赚更多的钱。故选C。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Sustainable travel is an idea that many experts within the travel industry agree on.(可持续旅行是旅游业内众多专家都认同的一个理念)”结合文章介绍可持续旅行的定义，指出其除减少环境影响外，还需关注当地社区利益，并给出缩短行程、淡季出行、选择社区自营住宿等建议，强调平衡旅行者、当地人和环境的重要性。可知，作者撰写这篇文章旨在表明可持续旅行应当兼顾游客、当地居民以及环境。故选B。 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高一上·福建龙海第一中学·期中）New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re good at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parents it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting, which helps the brand’s content rank higher in search results. And for the doctor, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and make use of future creations. This adoption is of great importance from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the way AI and search interact and operate is changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in predicting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a key aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to include technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable advantage. 1.What is TQ according to the text? A. Ability to use new technologies. B. Skill of repairing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Speed of learning new languages. 2.Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. B. A manager who often uses modern search engines. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices challenging. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 3.What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Depend on. B. Take in. C. Lie in. D. Insist on. 4.What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? C. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 【答案】1. A　2. A　3. B　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新时代背景下“技术商数（TQ）”的定义、应用场景、重要性，以及其与智商（IQ）、情商（EQ）结合对人类生活工作的重塑作用。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient.
