Passage 4 （25-26高二上·山西卓越大联考·期中）As the name suggests, a 15-minute city is an urban planning model where everything we need in our daily life can be accessed within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. The following are some examples of 15-minute cities. Melbourne, Australia Melbourne, Australia’s fastest-growing city, is working to ensure it continues to meet the needs of its communities and futureproof its services and facilities.

Milan, Italy Milan is often regarded as the model for how to put this planning model into practice, alongside Paris and Barcelona. According to research by Nature Cities, a “universal framework for 15-minute cities”, residents can expect a journey of less than 10 minutes to access their needs in the majority of the city. Barcelona, Spain Barcelona is viewed by many as the model for a 15-minute city.

Passage 2 （25-26高二上·宁夏回族自治区石嘴山市第一中学·期中）Just what is about roller coasters? It seems we just can’t get enough of them. This week we take a look at some of the top amusement parks and the roller coasters that have helped make them famous. Holiday World It is a family park in the sense that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features that other parks often can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, so parents appreciate the park’s family-friendly policy of free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge. Lake Compounce Lake Compounce, being one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it fell on hard times and was in danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company came to its rescue with huge infusions (注入) of cash. The transformed park with its new rides is attracting many new fans. Knott’s Berry Farm As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, Ghost Rider or the Xcelerator. Ghost Rider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something a little less exciting, go to Camp Snoopy or visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance (一瞥) of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, carriages, steam trains and historic buildings — many transported from mining towns — Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past. Islands of Adventure In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure (IOA) is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions guaranteed (保证) to set the heart racing. Its roller coasters are state-of-the-art fun. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control. 1.What is special about Holiday World? A. It provides free food. B. It belongs to an individual. C. It creates the exciting atmosphere. D. It owns the latest ride technology. 2.Which park takes visitors back to earlier times? A. Lake Compounce. B. Holiday World. C. Knott’s Berry Farm. D. Islands of Adventure. 3.Why is Islands of Adventure different from Magic Kingdom? A. It plays many famous movies. B. It is divided into different lands. C. It has more visitors waiting in line. D. It provides a very exciting experience. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高二上·山西大学附属中学·期中）Begin your global journey At University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UWEC), you’ll find your investment pays off well before you graduate.

The following are some examples of 15-minute cities. Melbourne, Australia Melbourne, Australia’s fastest-growing city, is working to ensure it continues to meet the needs of its communities and futureproof its services and facilities. This won’t be without its challenges. Melbourne is one of the largest cities by land area in the world, and one that has already well-established city facilities that will need to be improved and updated. Shanghai, China It’s not just in the West and Australia that the governments and cities have committed to the fifteen-minute model. Shanghai became the first Chinese city to adopt this urban planning approach, in an attempt to fight its fast growth. By 2035, the city plans to have 99% of public service facilities accessible within 15 minutes’ walking distance, and 90% of green space accessible within five minutes. Milan, Italy Milan is often regarded as the model for how to put this planning model into practice, alongside Paris and Barcelona. According to research by Nature Cities, a “universal framework for 15-minute cities”, residents can expect a journey of less than 10 minutes to access their needs in the majority of the city. Barcelona, Spain Barcelona is viewed by many as the model for a 15-minute city. Work is already underway to improve its walkways and cycle lanes, and digital twins — digital replicas (复制) of systems and environments — are being used to help simulate how planning and structure changes will impact the city. 1.What challenge does Melbourne face when building a 15-minute city? A. Limiting its city population. B. Updating its city facilities. C. Locating itself on water area. D. Rebuilding a sense of community. 2.Why does Shanghai commit to the 15-minute model? A. To increase its green space. B. To encourage citizens to do walking. C. To try to cope with its rapid spreading. D. To compete with other international cities. 3.What do Milan and Barcelona have in common in building a 15-minute city? A. They value environmental protection. B. They set good examples for other cities. C. More advanced walkways are being built. D. Residents can explore them in 10 minutes. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇应用文。15分钟城市是日常需求15分钟步行或骑行可达的规划模式，文中列举墨尔本、上海、米兰、巴塞罗那的实践，它们面临不同挑战，部分城市成为行业典范。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Melbourne is one of the largest cities by land area in the world, and one that has already well-established city facilities that will need to be improved and updated.(墨尔本是世界上陆地面积最大的城市之一，而且它已经拥有完善的城市设施，但这些设施仍需要进行改进和更新)”可知，墨尔本在打造“15分钟城市”时面临更新其城市设施的挑战。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“Shanghai became the first Chinese city to adopt this urban planning approach, in an attempt to fight its fast growth.(上海成为了中国首个采用这种城市规划方式的城市，此举旨在应对其迅猛的发展态势)”可知，上海推行“15分钟”出行模式旨在应对其快速发展。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Milan is often regarded as the model for how to put this planning model into practice, alongside Paris and Barcelona.(米兰通常被视为将这种规划模式付诸实践的典范，与巴黎和巴塞罗那齐名)”以及最后一段“Barcelona is viewed by many as the model for a 15-minute city.(许多人都将巴塞罗那视为“15分钟城市”模式的典范)”可知，米兰和巴塞罗那在打造“15分钟城市”方面都为其他城市树立了良好的榜样。故选B。 Passage 5 （25-26高二上·陕西镇安中学·期中）The attraction of an African safari is unparalleled. Here are four ways to experience your trip. Hot—air balloon safari in Pilanesberg, South Africa This is the only hot-air balloon safari to launch from inside a park in South Africa. You’ll spot the ‘big five’ (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros and leopard) among the 7,000 creatures in Pilanesberg in a hot-air balloon and get a bird’s eye view of their behaviour. A five-night stay at the Palace of The Lost City, includes a hot-air balloon safari, breakfast, return economy flights. From £2,595 per person, based on two adults sharing. Horse safari in Chyulu Hills, Kenya At ol Donyo Lodge in the Chyulu Hills, you’ll find a stable of 22 horses, including calm and hardy Boerperds for beginners (aged 12 and above) and a selection of thoroughbreds for the intermediate and advanced. A seven-night stay at Great Plains ol Donyo Lodge, with daily horse safaris, starts at £7,700 per person, excluding flights.

It seems we just can’t get enough of them. This week we take a look at some of the top amusement parks and the roller coasters that have helped make them famous. Holiday World It is a family park in the sense that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features that other parks often can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, so parents appreciate the park’s family-friendly policy of free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge. Lake Compounce Lake Compounce, being one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it fell on hard times and was in danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company came to its rescue with huge infusions (注入) of cash. The transformed park with its new rides is attracting many new fans. Knott’s Berry Farm As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, Ghost Rider or the Xcelerator. Ghost Rider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something a little less exciting, go to Camp Snoopy or visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance (一瞥) of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, carriages, steam trains and historic buildings — many transported from mining towns — Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past. Islands of Adventure In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure (IOA) is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions guaranteed (保证) to set the heart racing. Its roller coasters are state-of-the-art fun. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control. 1.What is special about Holiday World? A. It provides free food. B. It belongs to an individual. C. It creates the exciting atmosphere. D. It owns the latest ride technology. 2.Which park takes visitors back to earlier times? A. Lake Compounce. B. Holiday World. C. Knott’s Berry Farm. D. Islands of Adventure. 3.Why is Islands of Adventure different from Magic Kingdom? A. It plays many famous movies. B. It is divided into different lands. C. It has more visitors waiting in line. D. It provides a very exciting experience. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个因过山车而著名的主题公园。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Holiday World中的“Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features that other parks often can’t match.(它的罕见之处在于它是私人拥有的，而且它有许多其他公园往往无法比拟的特点)”可知，Holiday World是私人所有。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Knott’s Berry Farm中的“With its cowboys, carriages, steam trains and historic buildings — many transported from mining towns — Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.(鬼镇拥有牛仔、马车、蒸汽火车和众多从矿业小镇迁移而来的历史建筑，将带你重温一段往昔时光)”可知，Knott’s Berry Farm给游客展现了过去的建筑和物品，把游客带回到以前的时代。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Islands of Adventure中的“Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions guaranteed (保证) to set the heart racing.(然而，与充满甜蜜梦幻色彩的“魔法王国”不同，奥兰多环球影城的冒险岛（IOA）主打的是那些定会让人心跳加速的游乐项目)”可知，和Magic Kingdom相比，Islands of Adventure更惊险、刺激。故选D。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高二上·山西大学附属中学·期中）Begin your global journey At University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UWEC), you’ll find your investment pays off well before you graduate.
