Passage 2 （25-26高二上·山东菏泽·期中）There are some sports competitions that have become the focus of attention for people all over the world. These events bring together the best players and most excited fans. They are not just games — they show human strength, country pride, and traditions that have lasted for many years. The Olympic Games The Olympic Games hold a special place as the world’s largest sporting celebration. With roots stretching back to ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago, the modern Olympics happen every two years, switching between summer and winter games. Athletes compete in hundreds of events, from swimming and gymnastics to skiing and ice hockey. The iconic Olympic rings symbolize the unity of five continents, while the torch relay connects the modern games to their ancient origins. Hosting the Olympics remains a great honor for any city, requiring years of preparation to build world-class facilities. FIFA World Cup The FIFA World Cup is football’s most important competition and serves as a platform for national identity and pride, where countries of all sizes have the opportunity to make their mark on the world stage. The competition often becomes a reflection of cultural, political, and social dynamics, as seen in iconic moments like Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal or the French team’s victory in 1998 that symbolized the multicultural makeup of the nation. The event can generate great economic activity, as millions of fans travel to host nations, boosting tourism and local industries. Wimbledon Wimbledon is one of the four Grand Slam tennis events and is known for its traditions. For example, players must wear all white, and people eat strawberries with cream while watching. The event has produced some of the most iconic moments in tennis history, such as Roger Federer’s record-breaking eight Wimbledon titles, Serena Williams’ dominance, and the epic 2008 final between Federer and Rafael Nadal, often regarded as one of the greatest matches in tennis history. While other big tennis events change with time, Wimbledon stays the same, which is why winning here means so much to tennis players. 1.What makes the Olympic Games unique among global sports events?

Passage 3 （25-26高二上·山东德州·期中）Affordable Ski Towns in Montana When people think of snowy US ski destinations, they often think of Colorado, Idaho, Vermont or New Hampshire. But Montana: known as Big Sky Country, has some of the country’s snowiest slopes (横图) with around 10,000 skiable acres. However, Montana’s wild and faraway resorts (度量推算) can make it an expensive winter destination — unless you know where to go. Locals don’t always head to big hotels with nice restaurants. Instead, there are budget-friendly ski towns worth considering. Showdown Mountain: Run by the same family since 1936, it’s famous for natural heavy snow. Lift tickets are as low as $30 on Thursdays. It also holds a great New Year’s Eve fireworks show, and you can enjoy treatments at the Spa Hot Springs Motel nearby. Blacktail Mountain: Near Glacier National Park, it offers views of the park and Flathead Lake. It’s good for families with beginner slopes and over 1,000 acres of skiable powder. There are also Blacktail Nordic Trails for cross-country skiing. Turner Mountain: It’s a cheap choice because of its nonprofit status in Kootenai National Forest and the small local population. The slopes are quiet, with as few as 125 guests. Don’t miss the new Cabinet Brewing. Discovery Mountain: Popular with experienced skiers, it has 2,200 acres of slopes. The South Side serves entry-level skiers, while the Granite area has black diamond trails. Staying in nearby Philipsburg is cheaper, and you can try ice fishing at Georgetown Lake. For multi-day trips, Visit Montana’s Winter Guidebook has 10-day, four-day and two-day ski plans, plus winter driving advice specific to Montana. These budget-friendly options make Montana skiing accessible for everyone seeking great snow and mountain adventures. 1.Why is it pricey to ski in Montana sometimes? A.

Passage 2 （25-26高二上·山东泰安·期中）With most of the world’s population expected to live in urban cities by 2050, there’ll be a growing demand for smart streets. Here are four possible ways smart street technology will develop. Artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure (基础设施) Chris Carson, founder and CEO of US-based Hayden AI, says that AI-powered sensors (传感器) in cities collect everything from vehicle speed and traffic flow to the make and model of cars on the road. Sensors can analyze and improve traffic flow, and minimize accidents. Electric charging roads They will allow electric vehicles to charge as they drive. Moreover, the surface pressure of cars could also serve as a source of renewable energy. Marco Krieziu, commercial director of Italian company 20energy, says its product, LYBRA, recovers energy and heat from the passage of vehicles over its surface and changes it into electricity. Jigsaw puzzle (拼图) roads They will allow cities to adapt quickly to traffic patterns, construction needs or emergencies. Thanks to PlasticRoad, they’re already being used as bike and foot paths in Belgium and the Netherlands. Carlo Ratti Associati also developed a multipurpose street where blocks could be moved or replaced within minutes to change a road’s function. The street could, for example, serve as a road in the mornings and as a basketball court in the evenings. With smart street technology like this still in the early stages of development, experts think it necessary to let citizens decide what kind of city they want to live in tomorrow. 1.What can AI sensors help do? A. Make new cars. B. Store rainwater. C. Reduce traffic jams. D. Charge electric cars. 2.Which one created a road that can serve different uses? A. Hayden AI. B. 20energy. C. PlasticRoad. D. Carlo Ratti Associati. 3.What can we infer from the text? A. Smart streets will let out drivers’ privacy. B. Smart streets are widely used in most cities. C. Smart streets will replace all traditional roads eventually. D. Smart streets can help cities meet different needs quickly.

As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every 5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable. 1.Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions? A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 2.Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates? A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines. 3.What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition? A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency. C. The need for higher investment. D.

These events bring together the best players and most excited fans. They are not just games — they show human strength, country pride, and traditions that have lasted for many years. The Olympic Games The Olympic Games hold a special place as the world’s largest sporting celebration. With roots stretching back to ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago, the modern Olympics happen every two years, switching between summer and winter games. Athletes compete in hundreds of events, from swimming and gymnastics to skiing and ice hockey. The iconic Olympic rings symbolize the unity of five continents, while the torch relay connects the modern games to their ancient origins. Hosting the Olympics remains a great honor for any city, requiring years of preparation to build world-class facilities. FIFA World Cup The FIFA World Cup is football’s most important competition and serves as a platform for national identity and pride, where countries of all sizes have the opportunity to make their mark on the world stage. The competition often becomes a reflection of cultural, political, and social dynamics, as seen in iconic moments like Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal or the French team’s victory in 1998 that symbolized the multicultural makeup of the nation. The event can generate great economic activity, as millions of fans travel to host nations, boosting tourism and local industries. Wimbledon Wimbledon is one of the four Grand Slam tennis events and is known for its traditions. For example, players must wear all white, and people eat strawberries with cream while watching. The event has produced some of the most iconic moments in tennis history, such as Roger Federer’s record-breaking eight Wimbledon titles, Serena Williams’ dominance, and the epic 2008 final between Federer and Rafael Nadal, often regarded as one of the greatest matches in tennis history. While other big tennis events change with time, Wimbledon stays the same, which is why winning here means so much to tennis players. 1.What makes the Olympic Games unique among global sports events? A. That they are held every two years. B. That they focus mainly on summer sports. C. That they unite five continents through symbolic rings. D. That they feature traditional sports from ancient times. 2.What do we know about France’s World Cup victory in 1998? A. It led to a big change of the FIFA World Cup. B.

It broke the record of the number of goals in a World Cup final. 3.What sets Wimbledon apart from other tennis events? A. Its long history. B. Its respect for traditions. C. Its openness to changes. D. Its good service for viewers. 【答案】1. C　2. C　3. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍奥运会、国际足联世界杯和温布尔登网球锦标赛三大全球焦点体育赛事，展现其特色、象征意义及独特价值。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据The Olympic Games部分中的“The iconic Olympic rings symbolize the unity of five continents, while the torch relay connects the modern games to their ancient origins.(标志性的奥运五环象征着五大洲的团结，而火炬传递则将现代奥运会与其古代起源联系起来。)”可知，奥运五环象征五大洲团结这一独特象征意义，是其在全球体育赛事中与众不同的核心原因。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据FIFA World Cup部分中的“The competition often becomes a reflection of cultural, political, and social dynamics, as seen in iconic moments like Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal or the French team’s victory in 1998 that symbolized the multicultural makeup of the nation. (这项赛事往往反映了文化、政治和社会动态，比如迭戈·马拉多纳的“上帝之手”进球，或是1998年法国队的胜利，后者象征着这个国家的多元文化构成。)”可知，1998年法国队的世界杯胜利被明确描述为“象征着该国的多元文化构成”，即国家文化多样性的象征。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Wimbledon部分中的“Wimbledon is one of the four Grand Slam tennis events and is known for its traditions.

But Montana: known as Big Sky Country, has some of the country’s snowiest slopes (横图) with around 10,000 skiable acres. However, Montana’s wild and faraway resorts (度量推算) can make it an expensive winter destination — unless you know where to go. Locals don’t always head to big hotels with nice restaurants. Instead, there are budget-friendly ski towns worth considering. Showdown Mountain: Run by the same family since 1936, it’s famous for natural heavy snow. Lift tickets are as low as $30 on Thursdays. It also holds a great New Year’s Eve fireworks show, and you can enjoy treatments at the Spa Hot Springs Motel nearby. Blacktail Mountain: Near Glacier National Park, it offers views of the park and Flathead Lake. It’s good for families with beginner slopes and over 1,000 acres of skiable powder. There are also Blacktail Nordic Trails for cross-country skiing. Turner Mountain: It’s a cheap choice because of its nonprofit status in Kootenai National Forest and the small local population. The slopes are quiet, with as few as 125 guests. Don’t miss the new Cabinet Brewing. Discovery Mountain: Popular with experienced skiers, it has 2,200 acres of slopes. The South Side serves entry-level skiers, while the Granite area has black diamond trails. Staying in nearby Philipsburg is cheaper, and you can try ice fishing at Georgetown Lake. For multi-day trips, Visit Montana’s Winter Guidebook has 10-day, four-day and two-day ski plans, plus winter driving advice specific to Montana. These budget-friendly options make Montana skiing accessible for everyone seeking great snow and mountain adventures. 1.Why is it pricey to ski in Montana sometimes? A.

Here are four possible ways smart street technology will develop. Artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure (基础设施) Chris Carson, founder and CEO of US-based Hayden AI, says that AI-powered sensors (传感器) in cities collect everything from vehicle speed and traffic flow to the make and model of cars on the road. Sensors can analyze and improve traffic flow, and minimize accidents. Electric charging roads They will allow electric vehicles to charge as they drive. Moreover, the surface pressure of cars could also serve as a source of renewable energy. Marco Krieziu, commercial director of Italian company 20energy, says its product, LYBRA, recovers energy and heat from the passage of vehicles over its surface and changes it into electricity. Jigsaw puzzle (拼图) roads They will allow cities to adapt quickly to traffic patterns, construction needs or emergencies. Thanks to PlasticRoad, they’re already being used as bike and foot paths in Belgium and the Netherlands. Carlo Ratti Associati also developed a multipurpose street where blocks could be moved or replaced within minutes to change a road’s function. The street could, for example, serve as a road in the mornings and as a basketball court in the evenings. With smart street technology like this still in the early stages of development, experts think it necessary to let citizens decide what kind of city they want to live in tomorrow. 1.What can AI sensors help do? A. Make new cars. B. Store rainwater. C. Reduce traffic jams. D. Charge electric cars. 2.Which one created a road that can serve different uses? A. Hayden AI. B. 20energy. C. PlasticRoad. D.

As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every 5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable. 1.Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions? A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 2.Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates? A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines. 3.What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition? A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency. C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3.
