Passage 2 （25-26高二上·重庆渝北中学·期中）Parks are essential for cities, but some go beyond simple lawns and playgrounds. They tell stories of artistic vision, technological innovation, industrial history, and environmental recovery. The following four parks around the world are shining examples of such transformations. Park Güell Located in Barcelona, Park Güell is the artistic masterpiece of architect Antoni Gaudí. Initially planned as a housing complex, it is now a public park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It feels like stepping into a fairy tale, with its colorful sculptures, winding pathways, and organic forms that blend architecture into nature, offering breathtaking city views. Duisburg North Landscape Park This German park is a brilliant example of repurposing industrial heritage. Built on the site of a former iron and steel plant, the park did not erase its past. Instead, it transformed massive industrial structures into new facilities: a gas tank became a diving pool, and concrete storage bunkers were turned into climbing gardens. It demonstrates how ecological and recreational life can flourish in post-industrial landscapes. Gardens by the Bay Showcasing the vision of a “City in a Garden,” Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay is a model of future-oriented design. Its most famous features are the Supertree Grove, where tree-like structures perform environmental functions, and two large cooled conservatories that house plants from diverse climates. This park is a remarkable combination of cutting-edge technology, engineering, and gardening. Freshkills Park Freshkills Park in New York is undergoing one of the most remarkable transformations globally. Once the world’s largest landfill, it is being turned into a public park nearly three times the size of Central Park. Through advanced engineering and ecological restoration, this once-polluted site is becoming a vast habitat for wildlife and a symbol of sustainable renewal, proving that even severely damaged environments can be given a new life. 1.What was Park Güell originally intended to be? A. A public garden. B. A residential community. C. A modern art museum. D. A world heritage site. 2.Which park is a good example of futuristic design? A. Park Güell. B. Freshkills Park. C. Gardens by the Bay. D. Duisburg North Landscape Park. 3.What do Duisburg North Landscape Park and Freshkills Park have in common? A. Location in the United States. B. Famous architectural designers. C. Preservation of industrial heritage. D. Ecological restoration and renewal.

Sandwiched between two brothers, Lily is rough at times, what back in my day people called a tomboy, more into climbing trees than quietly playing with dolls indoors. For a while, I feared, even with all the messages about “girls can do anything” on TV and T-shirts, she was starting to think girls were stupid. Then along came Stranger Things, with its tongue-tied and bald (光头) rebel who can destroy trains and cars with the power of her mind. For the most part, I’m thrilled that Lily wants to be Eleven, who is the rare young heroine, equally brilliant and raw, and has perseverance and hope, with a desire for human connection and the skill to battle the evil. She is an enormous step up from my childhood girl idol (崇拜对象), including all six ladies in Charlie’s Angels and the Lynda Carter version of Wonder Woman, who are all competitive and smart. But it’s interesting to me that my daughter lit upon a character whose primary emotion is this massive anger and whose main role in the show consists of learning to channel her anger to defeat a dark force. Is Lily seeing what she longs for or identifies with? If she had such powers, what would she want to do? Parents everywhere understand there is a mental-health crisis among young people. Girls, especially are losing hope. We just don’t know how or even what to fix. Maybe Eleven can give these girls a blueprint, or faith that they can one day be in charge again. Maybe she can encourage those girls to fight back. Somewhere deep down, they sense that rage is exactly the right thing to feel. And why waste that passion pounding doors and cursing (咒骂) brothers when their anger could be employed to achieve far greater things? For our daughters, Eleven lays out a path into the future. Simply being ambitious and resourceful is no longer enough. Circumstances are calling for a new sort of heroism, one with a brain powerful enough to make the best of her anger. 1.What can we know about Lily from paragraph 2? A. She considers girls foolish. B. She has supernatural power. C. She is obsessed with TV dramas. D. She behaves boyishly sometimes. 2.Why is the author interested in her daughter’s idol? A. She is a true heroine with strength and hope. B. She differs from the author’s childhood idols. C. The author doubts if Lily really relates to Eleven. D. The author isn’t sure if she is a suitable role model. 3.What can be inferred in paragraph 4? A. Girls avoid communicating with families. B. Girls’ anger is unhealthy and needs controlling. C. Girls’ anger shows deeper unresolved problems. D. Girls are angry because they follow TV characters. 4.Which of the following might be the author’s advice for young girls? A. They should not be angry with others. B. They should make the best of their anger. C. They should have their own idols to follow. D. They should value ambition and resourcefulness. 主题语境01 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高二上·重庆西南大学附中·期中）Summer is coming. Are you looking for internships (实习)?

They tell stories of artistic vision, technological innovation, industrial history, and environmental recovery. The following four parks around the world are shining examples of such transformations. Park Güell Located in Barcelona, Park Güell is the artistic masterpiece of architect Antoni Gaudí. Initially planned as a housing complex, it is now a public park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It feels like stepping into a fairy tale, with its colorful sculptures, winding pathways, and organic forms that blend architecture into nature, offering breathtaking city views. Duisburg North Landscape Park This German park is a brilliant example of repurposing industrial heritage. Built on the site of a former iron and steel plant, the park did not erase its past. Instead, it transformed massive industrial structures into new facilities: a gas tank became a diving pool, and concrete storage bunkers were turned into climbing gardens. It demonstrates how ecological and recreational life can flourish in post-industrial landscapes. Gardens by the Bay Showcasing the vision of a “City in a Garden,” Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay is a model of future-oriented design. Its most famous features are the Supertree Grove, where tree-like structures perform environmental functions, and two large cooled conservatories that house plants from diverse climates. This park is a remarkable combination of cutting-edge technology, engineering, and gardening. Freshkills Park Freshkills Park in New York is undergoing one of the most remarkable transformations globally. Once the world’s largest landfill, it is being turned into a public park nearly three times the size of Central Park. Through advanced engineering and ecological restoration, this once-polluted site is becoming a vast habitat for wildlife and a symbol of sustainable renewal, proving that even severely damaged environments can be given a new life. 1.What was Park Güell originally intended to be? A. A public garden. B. A residential community. C. A modern art museum. D. A world heritage site. 2.Which park is a good example of futuristic design? A. Park Güell. B. Freshkills Park. C. Gardens by the Bay. D. Duisburg North Landscape Park. 3.What do Duisburg North Landscape Park and Freshkills Park have in common? A. Location in the United States. B. Famous architectural designers. C. Preservation of industrial heritage. D. Ecological restoration and renewal. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍全球四座极具特色、实现非凡转型的城市公园。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Park Güell中的“Initially planned as a housing complex, it is now a public park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (它最初规划为一个住宅小区，如今是一座公园，也是联合国教科文组织认定的世界遗产)”可知，它最初的规划用途是住宅小区。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Gardens by the Bay中的“Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay is a model of future-oriented design. (新加坡滨海湾花园是前瞻性设计的典范)”可知，滨海湾花园是未来派设计的典型代表。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据Duisburg North Landscape Park中的“It demonstrates how ecological and recreational life can flourish in post-industrial landscapes. (它展示了生态与休闲生活如何能在后工业景观中蓬勃发展)”以及Freshkills Park中的“Through advanced engineering and ecological restoration, this once-polluted site is becoming a vast habitat for wildlife and a symbol of sustainable renewal (通过先进的工程技术与生态修复，这片曾经被污染的区域正成为大型野生生物栖息地，也是可持续再生的象征)”可知，二者的共同点在于都实现了生态修复与更新。故选D项。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·重庆第一中学校·期中）After years of writing papers and cramming for tests, many young travelers look forward to their cap toss and the celebratory trip, which serves the purpose of celebrating the completion of this phase of schooling.

Sandwiched between two brothers, Lily is rough at times, what back in my day people called a tomboy, more into climbing trees than quietly playing with dolls indoors. For a while, I feared, even with all the messages about “girls can do anything” on TV and T-shirts, she was starting to think girls were stupid. Then along came Stranger Things, with its tongue-tied and bald (光头) rebel who can destroy trains and cars with the power of her mind. For the most part, I’m thrilled that Lily wants to be Eleven, who is the rare young heroine, equally brilliant and raw, and has perseverance and hope, with a desire for human connection and the skill to battle the evil. She is an enormous step up from my childhood girl idol (崇拜对象), including all six ladies in Charlie’s Angels and the Lynda Carter version of Wonder Woman, who are all competitive and smart. But it’s interesting to me that my daughter lit upon a character whose primary emotion is this massive anger and whose main role in the show consists of learning to channel her anger to defeat a dark force. Is Lily seeing what she longs for or identifies with? If she had such powers, what would she want to do? Parents everywhere understand there is a mental-health crisis among young people. Girls, especially are losing hope. We just don’t know how or even what to fix. Maybe Eleven can give these girls a blueprint, or faith that they can one day be in charge again. Maybe she can encourage those girls to fight back. Somewhere deep down, they sense that rage is exactly the right thing to feel. And why waste that passion pounding doors and cursing (咒骂) brothers when their anger could be employed to achieve far greater things? For our daughters, Eleven lays out a path into the future. Simply being ambitious and resourceful is no longer enough. Circumstances are calling for a new sort of heroism, one with a brain powerful enough to make the best of her anger. 1.What can we know about Lily from paragraph 2? A. She considers girls foolish. B. She has supernatural power. C. She is obsessed with TV dramas. D. She behaves boyishly sometimes. 2.Why is the author interested in her daughter’s idol? A. She is a true heroine with strength and hope. B. She differs from the author’s childhood idols. C. The author doubts if Lily really relates to Eleven. D. The author isn’t sure if she is a suitable role model. 3.What can be inferred in paragraph 4? A. Girls avoid communicating with families. B. Girls’ anger is unhealthy and needs controlling. C. Girls’ anger shows deeper unresolved problems. D. Girls are angry because they follow TV characters. 4.Which of the following might be the author’s advice for young girls? A. They should not be angry with others. B. They should make the best of their anger. C. They should have their own idols to follow. D. They should value ambition and resourcefulness. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇个人随笔。围绕女儿Lily痴迷《怪奇物语》中的Eleven这一角色展开，探讨愤怒情绪在女孩成长中的价值。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Lily is rough at times, what back in my day people called a tomboy, more into climbing trees than quietly playing with dolls indoors (Lily有时很粗犷，在我那个年代人们会称她为假小子，比起在室内安静地玩娃娃，她更喜欢爬树)”可知，Lily有时表现得像男孩一样。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“But it’s interesting to me that my daughter lit upon a character whose primary emotion is this massive anger (但让我觉得有意思的是，我女儿偏偏钟情于一个以“强烈愤怒”为主要情感特质的角色)”以及“Is Lily seeing what she longs for or identifies with? If she had such powers, what would she want to do? (Lily是看到了她渴望或认同的东西吗？如果她有这种能力，她想做什么？)”可知，作者对女儿选择这样一位愤怒的角色作为偶像感到好奇并有所疑问，怀疑莉莉是否真的与这个角色产生共鸣。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“Girls, especially are losing hope. We just don’t know how or even what to fix. (尤其是女孩正在失去希望。我们只是不知道如何解决，甚至不知道该做什么)”及“Somewhere deep down, they sense that rage is exactly the right thing to feel. (在内心深处，她们觉得愤怒是合理的情绪)”可推知，女孩的愤怒背后隐藏着未解决的深层问题。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Circumstances are calling for a new sort of heroism, one with a brain powerful enough to make the best of her anger. (当下需要一种新的英雄主义，即拥有足够智慧去充分利用自己愤怒的英雄主义)”可知，作者建议年轻女孩善用自己的愤怒。故选B项。 主题语境01 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高二上·重庆西南大学附中·期中）Summer is coming. Are you looking for internships (实习)?

Margaret and the Moon Age range:4 〜8 In Margaret and the Moon, Dean Robbins outlines the pioneering software engineer's life, from the backyard of her childhood home, where she put forward a million questions about the night sky, to the hallways of NASA, where she led a team from MIT to develop the onboard flight software that would land the first men on the moon. In I am Neil Armstrong Age range：All ages In I am Neil Armstrong, the bestselling author Brad Meltzer shows kids how Neil Armstrong made it all the way to the moon.
