In 1955, at age 12, I became obsessed (着迷) with the idea of recording an album for our parents to do something in celebration of their wedding day. My sister, brother, and I would sing our favourite songs for them.
The recording was to be kept a secret from our parents. I found a local studio, Dunford Recordings, not too far from where we lived in Christchurch. I rang and asked the cost of making a record.
To pay for the recording, I saved the money I earned from helping my aunty Mae in the school holidays. I called a family friend and persuaded her to accompany us on the piano. We couldn’t practise with her for fear of being found out, so I got my sister and brother together and we worked out a routine.
I arranged with Aunty Mae, in strictest secrecy, to take us to the studio at the appointed time. We sang our first two songs a couple of times so they could select the best version, but by the time we got to the third song we were rather tired, so only recorded it once.
Outside the studio door, I had been holding the record very carefully but my sister snatched it from me and it rolled out of its jacket, down the stairs, bouncing onto the pavement and then onto the road. Gasp! Horror! Mercifully, it was undamaged.
The day came and we excitedly gave our precious present to our parents. They were surprised indeed. However, it never occurred to me that my parents bought a brand-new radiogram to play the record on.
My parents had been secretly warned by my aunt about our surprise, and unknown to us, they were downstairs in the appliance shop buying the radiogram while we were upstairs recording. They actually saw the record roll out onto the street.
Our recording has become a wonderful memory of the past.
4. Why did the author want to record an album at age 12
A. To celebrate their parents’ wedding day. B. To make money to support his family.
C. To found a local studio to play music. D. To satisfy his curiosity about radiogram.
5. How did the author get the money to pay for the recording
A. He got his sister and brother to earn money.
B. He borrowed money from a family friend.
C. He earned the money needed on his own.
D. He raised some money with his aunty Mae.
6. What were their parents doing when the record was being made in the studio
A. They were listening next to the door.
B. They were watching the record rolling.
C. They were playing in the appliance shop.
D. They were buying the radiogram downstairs.
7. Which of the following best describes the author
A. Enthusiastic and generous. B. Loving and considerate.
C. Hardworking and responsible. D. Talented and fashionable.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B

2.【Z20名校联盟（浙江省名校新高考研宄联盟）2022-2023学年髙三第一次联考】
A boy shivered in the harsh Oslo winter, pathetically wrapping his arms around himself on a bus stop bench. He wasn’t wearing a coat and temperatures in the Norwegian capital regularly plunge to -10C during winter.
A heartbreaking scene, but the actions of the ordinary people who witnessed the difficult situation of 11-year-old Johanne Linnestad Flaaten were both joyous and inspiring.
A young woman sat next to the boy and noticed him rubbing his arms. She immediately asked him, “Don’t you have a jacket ”
“No, someone stole,” he replied. She questioned him and discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop. She asked him the name of his school and where he was from as she selflessly covered her own coat around his shoulders.
Later, another older woman at first gave him her scarf, and then wrapped him in her large padded jacket.
Throughout the day, more and more people offered Johanne their gloves and even the coats off their backs as they waited for their bus.
Johanne’s predicament was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children’s Village as part of their winter campaign to gather donations to send much-needed coats and blankets to help Syrian children get through the winter. Many of the refugees have left their homes without winter clothing.
“People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy,” Synne Runnine th information head of SOS Children’s Villages Norway, told The Local. She also noted that the child was a volunteer who was never in any danger during the filming.

A. His parents couldn’t afford him a warm coat
B. Someone stole his jacket.
C. He was a volunteer to do an experiment.
D. He was doing an experiment of cold resista
25. The underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 7 means ________.
A. difficult situation B. miserable life
C. inspiring courage D. selfless spirit
26. What do Synne Running’s words imply
A. People’s care about Johanne is enough.
B. People’s care about children in Syria is not enough.
C. People should care more about children in Syria than they care about Johanne.
D. People should care more about Johanne than they care about children in Syria.
27. What is the best title for the passage
A. When You Have No Coat in a Harsh Winter
B. When You Face Refugees Crowding into Your Country
C. When You Help Syrian Children without Winter Clothing
D. When You Meet a Boy Wearing No Coat
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。挪威慈善团体SOS儿童村发起冬日行动，为筹集更多捐赠给叙利亚儿童送冬日的生活必需品。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段“Johanne’s predicament was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children’s Village as part of their winter campaign to gather donations to send much-needed coats and blankets to help Syrian children get through the winter.”（约翰娜的predicament是挪威慈善机构 SOS 儿童村做的一个隐藏摄像机实验，这是他们冬季活动的一部分，目的是募集捐款，用于送去急需的大衣和毯子，帮助叙利亚儿童度过冬天。）及最后一段中“She also noted that the child was a volunteer who was never in any danger during the filming”（她还指出，这个孩子是一名志愿者，在拍摄期间从未遇到任何危险。）可知，Johanne之所以在冬日寒风中瑟瑟发抖是在做一个实验，实验的目的是要帮助叙利亚儿童过冬，故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。结合第二段“A heartbreaking scene, but the actions of the ordinary people who witnessed the difficult situation of 11-year-old Johanne Linnestad Flaaten were both joyous and inspiring.”（这是一个令人心碎的场景，但是普通人目睹了11岁的 Johanne Linnestad Flaaten 的艰难处境，他们的行为既令人高兴又鼓舞人心。）可知，普通人目睹了11岁的 Johanne Linnestad Flaaten 的艰难处境，可推知，11岁的 Johanne Linnestad Flaaten 在实验中的处境是及其艰难的，即划线词此处为“艰难的处境”，故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy,”（人们应该像关心这个男孩一样关心叙利亚的孩子）可知，Synne Running的意思是人们应该给与叙利亚儿童和这个孩子一样多的关爱。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述的是一个实验，寒冬里一个小男孩没有穿外套，他在寒冷中瑟瑟发抖，实验者用摄像机记录人们看到小男孩窘境的反应，然后由此希望人们能像对待这个小男孩一样去帮助叙利亚饱受饥寒的儿童，所以文章的标题可以为“当你碰到一个没有穿外套的男孩时。”故选D。
3.【2023届安徽省江淮十所名校高三第一次联考】
My work started in 2003 at my local animal shelter’s Adoption Department. It seems like such a long time ago. In the 13 years that have passed, more than 50,000 animals have passed the doors of the shelter. Most of them, I do not remember. But occasionally there are animals who stand out. Tabby was one such animal.
Tabby was one of the many homeless dogs. What’s more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby’s chances at adoption seemed remote at best. But one day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, who suffered from epilepsy(癫痫)had seen Tabby’s picture on the shelter’s website. They were interested in meeting her! Most boys would want a puppy, a dog who could grow with him and run through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would never be able to do that. But as they say, “love is blind.” After meeting her, they decided to adopt Tabby!
If Tabby’s story had simply ended with her successful adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed but it was what happened after her adoption that some might label as “magical”. As Gary and Tabby did everything together, they became so “in tun” with one another that Tabby began to telegraph Gary’s seizures(疾病发作)before they occurred, giving his family a warning that one was about to strike. What’s more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby’s arrival.
How could it be There are some things that happen in this world that challenge all logic and understanding. Sometimes the best that we can do is to accept a miracle, which we didn’t attempt to explain. Because when you try to explain it, you lose the beauty and wonder of it all.
4. What is the purpose of listing the data in the first paragraph
A. To stress the necessity of protecting animals.
B. To show the author’s devotion to adopting animals.
C. To illustrate Tabby’s uniqueness.
D. To prove the difficulty of the work in the animal shelter.
5. What can we learn about Tabby from the text
A. She was so lovely that she could be easily adopted.
B. She suffered a lot from the disease-epilepsy.
C. She was so strong that she could run very fast.
D. She was homeless and couldn’t see or hear.
6. Why did the author think magic happened
A. Because Gary and Tabby did everything together.
B. Because Gary was cured in the company of Tabby.
C. Because Tabby could indicate a seizure before it struck.
D. Because Tabby learned to read messages by telegraph.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Love is Blind: An Amazing Dog B. Give Me Food: My Dear Master
C. Love is Everywhere: Poor Tabby D. Take Me Home: My Dear Boy
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一条又盲又聋的流浪狗被一个善良小男孩收养，小男孩的癫痫病也得到了奇迹般的控制的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My work started in 2003 at my local animal shelter’s Adoption Department. It seems like such a long time ago.

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“Tabby was one of the many homeless dogs. What’s more, she was blind and deaf(Tabby是许多无家可归的狗之一。而且，她又瞎又聋)”可知，Tabby是一只无家可归的狗，并且看不见、听不到。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“...it was what happened after her adoption that some might label as ‘magical’(…这是她被收养后发生的事情，有些人可能会将其称为“奇迹”)”.和“Tabby began to telegraph Gary’s seizures before they occurred, giving his family a warning that one was about to strike. What’s more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby’s arrival.(Tabby在Gary的癫痫发作之前就开始给他发警告，给他的家人一个警告，说有人要发作了。更重要的是，自从Tabby到来后，加里的癫痫发作似乎越来越少了。)”可知，Tabby能预知癫痫的发作，Gary的癫痫病也得到了一定的控制，对此作者认为很神奇。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者工作的动物收容所里有一条又盲又瞎的流浪狗，最终得到了一个善良小男孩的收养。开启了一人一狗的生活后，小男孩的癫痫病也得到了神奇的控制。结合第二段的“Love is blind (爱是盲目的)”和最后一段的“Sometimes, the best that we can do is to accept a miraculous thing, which we didn’t attempt to explain.(有时候，我们能做的最好的事情就是接受一件我们没有试图解释的奇迹)”可知，正因为爱是盲目的，Tabby才能被接纳和收养，同时它也积极地改善了小男孩的身体情况，这是神奇的一件事情，Tabby也是一条神奇的狗。故A项“爱是盲目的：一条神奇的狗”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A项。

Therefore, the first mission of Andre’ s team was to repair destroyed reefs and save coral. And they have been very successful in their efforts.
One of Andre’s perfect moments was his role in the creation of the Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The park has now become the premier dive site in his hometown. Andre describes it as “the best textbook example of how marine parks can benefit the islands”
In 2016, Andre further promised his support of the conservation of Carlisle Bay through his work with other projects.

【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段第二三句“It was here that once again he was horrified by the rapid decline of the numbers of sea creatures and the negative effects of poor boating practices which caused havoc to the island ‘s coral(珊瑚).

5.【湖北省高中名校联盟2023届新高三第一次联合测评】
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a frequent topic of conversation for most of us over the past year. As we dreamt of indoor dining, vacations, and hugging our friends again, my friend Ana texted that her mother, living in Brazil, had been infected by the coronavirus. I won’t go into details here, but the disruption to life in Brazil have been especially upsetting considering their social and cultural norms（规范）.
Ana is Brazilian, and I’m from the US. While living in New York City, we became fast friends despite the few awkward cultural differences I learned to deal with. She was comfortable with intimacy; I preferred to keep my distance. She liked the company of many; I liked the friendship of few. It was awkward for me to lean in for a quick hug, only to be embraced then kissed on the cheeks. To this day, I’m not an excellent cheek kisser, but I try. She is one of many people over the years who have educated me, in a way, about delighting in cultural difference.
I called Ana to check on her mother and I was primarily curious about how social and cultural norms have been affected. It’s difficult, said Ana, because the necessary health regulations are opposite to “what we believe and everything we know about living in a community and displaying feelings of love”, but she hasn’t given up hope. I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural norms. “Absolutely not,” said Ana. This is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesn’t happen overnight. They spend a lot of time and energy investing in relationships, and the deeply rooted social conventions won’t change quickly.
Over the years, Ana has shared many stories that emphasize the differences in our upbringing. I delight in our differences, even if kissing on the cheek makes! me uncomfortable. We find our commonalities, like talking with our hands, being expressive, and valuing community. And we learn from our differences. COVID disrupted many things, but through all of this, Ana said, we must constantly be adjusting, understanding, and doing what’s best for our communities and the people we love.
24. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1
A. Adjustment. B. Disturbance.
C. Commitment. D. Preference.
25. What can we learn about Ann from Paragraph 2
A. She is good at educating other people.
B. She enjoys the close contact with others.
C. She prefers to stay alone in her own comfort zone.
D. It took a long time for her to make friends with me.
26. Why doesn’t Ana think the pandemic will change social and cultural norms
A. Because the Brazilians are born to be sociable.
B. Because the social conventions are easy to change.
C. Because the health regulations consist with her beliefs.
D. Because Brazilians rarely value investment in relationships.
27. What would be the best title for the passage
A. My Attitude towards Friendship
B. A Valuable Lesson in the Pandemic
C. The Influence of COVID-19 on Life
D. My Acceptance of Cultural Differences
【答案】24.B 25.C 26.A 27.D
【解析】大意：本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一名美国人，在与巴西友人安娜的相处中，她了解
到虽然疫情在一定程度上影响了巴西人的生活，但是根植的传统文化是不会轻易改变的，得益
于与安娜多年的友谊，作者学会了求同存异，最后欣然接受了文化差异。
24.B 词义猜测题。本句话的意思是新冠病毒对巴西人的生活的扰乱让人心烦，尤其是对社会
文化规范方面。因此disruption与disturbance意思相近（disturb为课标词汇）。
25.C 细节理解题。根据第二段“She was comfortable with intimacy; I preferred to keep my distanc可知，安娜喜欢与人亲近，即使有新冠疫情的影响。故C项表达正确。
26. 推理判断题。根据第三段This is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesn’t happen overnight可知，即使有新冠病毒的影响，但是这并没有阻碍巴西人传统的价值观念，因为他们天生就喜爱社交，并且认为新冠对生活的影响也不会是一蹴而就的，而是长久的变化。
27.D 标题概括题。全文讲述了作者在巴西友人的影响下，改变了对文化差异的看法：即使有新冠，巴西人固有的文化及生活规范并未有多大改变，最后作者学会了求同存异，欣然接受了文化差异，故选D。
6.【江苏省南通市通州、兴化、泗洪2022-2023学年高三上学期第一次质量监测考试】
One of the greatest tests of a parent’s patience comes at night when you trying to get your children to fall asleep. You know you need to rock them, stroke their backs or just keep a comforting hand on them until they nod off.But that time is playing a zero-sum game(零和游戏)with your own need for sleep and something else you need to do:work, zone out on Netflix or just enjoy the quiet after the kids have gone to sleep.
When my older daughter was just a baby, I figured out a way to control my impatience: I’d count to 100,along with the slow back-and-forth sway or the calm and steady strokes of her back. It gave me the light at the end of the tunnel that almost always did the trick. My impatience would die down because I knew that I’d reach the goal.
The result was surprising. By not thinking over the activities waiting for me, I focused on my daughter instead. The numbers from 1 to 100 became the calm breath.I couldn’t hold complex thoughts on the top of counting, so deeper emotions surfaced, specifically love and appreciation of the small person I was holding and touching. I was less likely to get pulled away by unnecessary streams of thoughts and soon began to deeply enjoy these moments.
My daughter benefited from the extended touch as well. Science shows that the physical touch releases three chemicals in our brain associated with emotional and physical health benefits. These chemicals promote feelings of happiness and well-being, and increase pleasure while regulating mood and relieving anxiety. By holding and stroking our children, we’re conveying safety and trust, relieving stress and activating(激活)our bodies’ special nerves. This is what actual bonding with our child looks like.
My daughter is 1l years old now, and I still continue this nighttime ritual(惯例): Give her comforting and loving strokes and frequent hugs, maintaining a physical connection.
4. What probably causes parents to be extremely impatient at night
A. Making their children fall asleep.
B. Staying up late for extra work.
C. Facing too much housework.
D. Searching for information online.
5. What happened to the author when he was counting numbers
A. He got completely lost in thought.
B. He thought of traveling through the tunnel.
C. He came to realize his deep love for his child.
D. He was constantly interrupted by other thoughts.
6. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Ways to calm ourselves down.
B. Advantages of the physical touch.
C. Benefits of keeping a good mood.
D. Roles of special chemicals in brains.
7. What could be the best title for the text
A. The challenge for children to fall asleep
B. The balance between family and career
C. A solution to conveying my impatience
D. A night routine to bond with my daughter
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了很多父母哄孩子睡觉会不耐烦，但作者用轻柔的抚摸和从一数到一百的方式让自己平静下来，感受到了对女儿深深的爱，从而与女儿建立了牢固的感情纽带。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“One of the greatest tests of a parent’s patience comes at night when you trying to get your children to fall asleep. (当你试图让孩子入睡时，对父母耐心的最大考验之一就是晚上。)”可以看出哄孩子睡觉很消磨家长耐心，故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第四句“I couldn’t hold complex thoughts on the top of counting,so deeper emotions surfaced, specifically love and appreciation of the small person I was holding and touching.(我无法把复杂的想法放在计数的最上面，所以更深层的情感浮出水面，特别是对我抱着和触摸的那个小人物的爱和欣赏。)”可以看出作者在抚摸自己孩子时怀有深深的爱意。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Science shows that the physical touch releases three chemicals in our brain associated with emotional and physical health benefits.These chemicals promote feelings of happiness and well-being, and increase pleasure while regulating mood and relieving anxiety. By holding and stroking our children,we’re conveying safety and trust, relieving stress and activating(激活)our bodies’ special nerves.(科学表明，身体接触会在我们的大脑中释放出三种与情绪和身体健康相关的化学物质。这些化学物质促进幸福感和健康，并在调节情绪和缓解焦虑的同时增加快乐。通过抱着和抚摸我们的孩子，我们传递了安全和信任，缓解了压力，激活了我们身体的特殊神经。)”可知，本段内容展示的均为身体接触的好处，而A、C、D三项均为文中的细节项，以偏概全。B项“身体接触的优点。”为段落大意，故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据本文最后一段提到“nighttime ritual(夜间惯例)”可与D项题目呼应，同时倒数第二段最后一句提到“actual bonding with our child(和我们的孩子建立真正的纽带)”又与D项不谋而合。且D项“A night routine to bond with my daughter(和我女儿相处的夜晚)”能较好地概括全文主旨，情真意切，可作为本文的最佳标题。A、B、C三项均不能传达出全文的情感脉络。故选D。
7.【江苏南京六校联合体2023届高三联合调研试题】
Queen Elizabeth National Park is a place of outstanding beauty and extreme biodiversity. On a previous underwater assignment with my wife and photographic partner, Jennifer Hayes, we’d documented healthy coral reefs surrounded with fish, sharks, and crocodiles. We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going.
We were photographing some jellyfish. Jennifer, her back to me, was focused on something above her. Out of the corner of my viewfinder, I saw a sizable crocodile coming. As I began to take its photograph, I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me. I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen, firing a burst of flash-lit shots to warn her that we had company. She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs-up, nodded OK, and said “Hello, handsome” as she bent closer to take its photos. I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn’t feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. After a few pictures the crocodile, unimpressed with us, swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things. We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work. But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here. The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it’s vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That’s possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We enter Earth’s oceans on their terms, not our own.
24. What was the author’s purpose in returning to Queen Elizabeth National Park
A. To enjoy its beauty. B. To assess a document.
C. To check its ecosystem. D. To photograph jellyfish.
25. Why did Jennifer feel at ease with the crocodile

【24题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going. (我们知道，随着时间的推移，旅游业的增长和气候变化可能会使公园变得不同，所以15年后，我们回来看看它是如何发展的)”可知，作者和妻子回来是想看看伊丽莎白女王国家公园的变化。可推测出他们主要是想看看公园的生态系统。故答案为C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn’t feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. (我钦佩她对鳄鱼的尊重、淡定的好奇心和喜悦。她并没有感到被威胁。在这个特殊的地方她对这种鳄鱼很熟悉，况且她还有一个巨大的水下摄像机外壳，可以充当强大的盾牌如果需要的话)”可知，妻子有可充当盾牌的东西保护自己，所以选项C符合题意。故答案为C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。本段前文“The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it’s vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That’s possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. (鳄鱼是一种代表性动物，是健康生态系统可以支持顶级捕食者生存的象征。旅游限制的放宽必然会引来更多的游客——因此维持生态旅游、探险和保护生态这三者之间的平衡至关重要。如果游客采用我们对待那只好奇的鳄鱼的相同理念的话，这种平衡是可能达成的)”强调我们要维持三者之间的平衡。由前文可知，作者和妻子是对鳄鱼持以尊重的态度，所以呼吁我们在旅游时也要对生态秉承相同尊重的态度。故答案为B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章刚开始讲述了作者和妻子重返伊丽莎白女王国家公园想查看生态环境的变化，后来在拍照过程中偶遇了一只鳄鱼。通过和鳄鱼的短暂接触，作者呼吁我们在探索自然的过程中对自然持尊重的态度。所以D选项“A chance meeting (一次偶遇)可作为本篇文章的标题。故选D项。
On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This made Musk think a lot—how he might make a difference to the food industry—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope (坡) and fell over, breaking his neck.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk. “People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to save money on groceries, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk’s non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “It’s not difficult. Anyone can do this, no matter where you come from, no matter where you live. We are all able to grow something,” says Musk.
32. What inspired Musk to make a difference to food industry
A. The pandemic. B. A skiing accident.
C. Jamie Oliver’s speech. D. The farm-to-table movement.
33. What is a cause of people beginning gardening according to Musk
A. To get access to healthy food.
B. To make their house beautiful.
C. To make money by selling garden produce.
D. To build up their strength during the pandemic.
34. What does the Million Gardens Movement focus on
A. Encouraging people to preserve nature.
B. Providing free food for low-income families.
C. Promoting “learning gardens” across schools.
D. Educating new gardeners to grow their own food.
35. Which of the following best describes Musk
A. Charity-minded. B. Stubborn. C. Easy-going. D. Scholarly.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据文章第三段“People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to save money on groceries, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.（“人们之所以注意种植花园，原因有很多: 为了在杂货上省钱，为了改善饮食的营养质量，或者仅仅是为了消除封锁带来的无聊感。”）”可知改善饮食的营养质量是其中一个原因，即让他们所吃的食物变得更健康更有营养；故选项A“To get access to healthy food（为了获得健康的食物）符合题意；其余三个选项文章并未提及；故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives.（旨在惠及低收入家庭的百万花园运动受到流行病的启发，因为渴望与自然建立更多联系的愿望和粮食的不安全一直处于许多人生活的最前沿。）”可知渴望与自然的联系和粮食安全问题是人们咨询百万花园运动的主要原因；根据文章最后一段“It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “It’s not difficult. Anyone can do this, no matter where you come from, no matter where you live. We are all able to grow something,” says Musk.（它还提供免费课程，介绍如何让花园生长以及在不断变化的生长季节提供新鲜种子和材料。“这并不难。任何人都可以做到这一点，无论你来自哪里，无论你住在哪里。 我们都能够种植一些东西，”马斯克说。）”可知，百万花园计划是专门教人自己种植的；与前面人们咨询百万花园运动的原因结合起来，可推断，百万花园重点是教人们如何种植自己吃的食物，使人们吃的食物更健康，并增加人与自然之间的联系。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Aimed at reaching low-income families（旨在惠及低收入家庭）”可知Musk创立百万花园运动主要针对低收入家庭；由文章最后一段“The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors（该计划提供可以在室内或室外种植的免费花园套件）”可知他免费给人们提供种植套件；“It also offers free courses（它还提供免费课程）”可知Musk的计划还给人提供免费课程；综上所述，可推知Musk是富有慈善意识的；故选A项。
8.【湖北省孝感市部分名校2022-2023学年高三上学期联考英语试题】
English is my mother tongue, so for a long time I never had to give much thought to speaking about science in a different language-something many researchers have to do every day. But my privilege was ended in July 2020 when I started my research group as a junior faculty (教学人员) member at University of Montreal, a French-language institution in Quebec, Canada. I now communicate daily in both English and French.
Over the past two years, I have communicated science in French to a general audience, to the wider scientific community and to graduate students at the university. I believe that learning how to communicate science effectively in a language other than English has helped me to become a better science communicator in general. Explaining my research to a general audience in a second language proved hard. But with practice and continuous opportunities, I started to find my footing. For instance, shortly after starting at the University of Montreal, I gave an interview in French about my research projects. This was a great opportunity but also a big test of my language skills.
I have learnt to keep practicing and to have confidence in myself and in my ability. It is important not to be afraid to make mistakes or to ask for help. The primary goal is to get the message across clearly.
I have also faced difficult tasks, notably learning French field-specific jargon(术语), and translating abstracts, course material and so on. Alongside these academic challenges, I have to tackle administrative duties in a second language.
It has not always been easy or convenient to have to include French in my professional.
Despite challenges, talking and writing about science in a language other than English has helped me to communicate more effectively with general and scientific audiences, and has proved to be rewarding!
4. When did the author begin to talk about science in French
A. Before the year of 2020. B. When he started to do his research.

9.【辽宁六校2022~2023学年上高三初考】
Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of our country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than toss your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip caters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize (消毒) the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags.
Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life—and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she said.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita said, “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”
4. What is the main idea of paragraph 2
A. How they make the sleeping bags. B. Why they sanitize the chip bags.
C. Where they collect the chip bags. D. What they use to line the insides.
5. What do the numbers in paragraph 3 show
A. The new sleeping bags have many benefits.
B. A lot of effort is put into making the sleeping bags.
C. People consume a large quantity of chips every day.
D. People are aware of the importance of environmental protection.
6. Why do the volunteers make rather than simply buy sleeping bags
A. They wish they could earn better life.
B. They think it is difficult to raise a lot of money.
C. They aim to help the homeless by recycling waste.
D. They want to find a simpler way to help the homeless.
7. What can we infer from the passage
A. Recycling chip bags can remove poverty.
B. The new sleeping bags have been put into wide use.
C. Few chip bags will end up in the trash in the country.
D. Environmental injustice and poverty are usually closely connected.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D

Anne Lacaton and Jean-Phippe Vassal, this year’s Pritzker Prize winners, were as surprised as anyone else when the most famous award in architecture was made public yesterday.
“Of course it’s very pleasant, and we are very pleased,”Lacaton said at a conference with her partner, both smiling broadly from their black eyeglasses.
Putting aside their eyeglasses, Lacaton and Vassal could not be more different from an earlier generation of Pritzker winners, known for their easily recognizable styles and grand work. Instead, the two apply their simple guideline to their work on old urban buildings for low-income families: Never destroy, never remove or replace, always add, transform, and reuse!
When Lacaton and Vassal were asked to redesign a particularly large and over-crowded public housing block in Bordeaux in 2017, the residents (居民) told them they could not afford to move, even temporarily, but they wanted bigger units. Their solution was to replace the folding wooden front door with sliding glass door to each unit and painted the ugly walls with something bright. Suddenly, everyone had roomy outdoor space, some of which could be used during the winter as “winter gardens.”
“So, people can not only get sun and light and spend time with family, but it’s also open to neighbors,” Columbia University architecture professor Mabel Wilson.“I would love to live in one of the apartments t they’ve redesigned.”
Their approach of cheap and creative re-adaption could be a model for urban planning in the US, Wilson adds, where destruction has been seen as a solution to old public housing in such cities as Chicago and St. Louis.
There’s a lot of violence in architecture and urbanism. We try to be precise. We try to work with kindness,” Lacaton once explained.“Buildings are beautiful when people feel well in them, when the light inside is beautiful and the air is pleasant, when the exchange with the outside seems easy and gentle, and when uses and sensations are unexpected,”
Lacaton and Vassal started their firm in Paris in 1987. Together, they worked primarily in France.
4. Why are Lacaton’s and Vassal’s eyeglasses mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To draw readers attention to their unusual color.
B. To show that Pritzker Prize winners need eyeglasses.
C. To tell us how surprised and happy they are for the prize
D. To stress their only possible similarity with other Pritzker winners.
5. What did Lacaton and Vassal do in the Bordeaux public housing project
A. They built winter gardens in the outdoor space.
B. They destroyed the walls to provide more space.
C. They just changed the doors and repainted the walls.
D. They provided bigger temporary rooms for the residents.
6. What have Lacaton and Vassal most probably done to win the Pritzker Prize
A. They have built many public houses with unique styles.
B. They have designed various famous buildings in the world.
C. They have provided free services for poor families in the US.
D. They have tried to transform old urban buildings with kindness.
7. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear

On October 12,2021,China officially announced its first five national parks, which are homes to endangered species ranging from the Siberian tigers on the Russian border to the world’s last 30 Hainan black crested gibbons(黑冠长臂猿)in southern China’s tropical rainforest.
By uniting hundreds of protected areas managed by various provinces, the new national park system’s goal is to strengthen conservation under the central authority of the new National Forestry and Grassland Administration(NFGA)
These five parks cover an area two-third the size of the US national park system. The largest, Sanjiangyuan National Park in Qinghai Province, is almost the size of Mississippi.
With such an ambitious plan, there are bound to be challenges. For one the government has to balance the need for the livelihoods of the locals with wildlife conservation. It has not announced a plan to create a permitting system that would regulate how people enjoy nature. What’s more,ecotourism-which is defined as tourism that benefits both locals and their environment-only exists in a fifth of China’s nature reserves.
But there’s hope that the existing ecotourism projects in such nature reserves as Sanjiangyuan National Park and Wolong Nature Reserve will inspire efforts elsewhere in the new park system. Since 2018, Sanjiangyuan National Park has run a community-led tourism program that benefits both locals and snow leopards(豹), the park’s main tourist draw. For $43 a day, visitors can stay with local families, who act as guides to spot these rare “cats” in the wild.
“The community has made all the major decisions, and 100 percent of the income stays in the community. It’s been incredibly successful,” says Marc Brody, who has worked in China since 1994.
NFGA agrees that well-designed ecotourism can improve local ecosystems. It says that a core mission(核心使命)of China’s national parks is to promote eco-civilizationa mission that can be advanced by involving visitors Written into China’s constitution(宪法)in 2012, eco-civilization means scientifically balancing the economic development and the environmental protection.
8. Which park is home to the thirty endangered gibbons
A. Hainan National Park. B. Wolong Nature Reserve.
C. Northeast National Park. D. Sanjiangyuan National Park.
9. What can be learned about Sanjiangyuan National Park
A. It is bigger than Mississippi. B. It sits on the Russian border.
C. It is a pioneer in ecotourism. D. It has a mature permitting system.
10. Which word best describes Marc Brody’s attitude to ecotourism
A. Skeptical. B. Unconcerned C. Disapproving D. Positive
11. What is the main purpose of China’s national parks
A. To protect the endangered animals.
B. To help the local people out of poverty.
C. To balance the economy and the environment.
D. To set a better development example for the world.

Photographer Rebecca Douglas has always been crazy about the night sky. Her love of the stars has taken the UK resident on "star walking" trips to Iceland and into the Arctic. For nature lovers like Douglas, star walking turns out to be a good way to enjoy life.
Hiking at night isn't uncommon. Plenty of people hike after dark to get to campsites or watch the sunrise from a mountaintop. Star walking goes a step further by mixing hiking with stargazing.Rather than heading to an observatory or setting up a telescope in your backyard, star walking takes you on a brief journey to look at the stars from different viewpoints.
“An observatory can never take the place of getting out into a rural landscape under a blanket of stars,"says Gary Lintern of Stargazing Nights in Durham, England, who leads guided nighttime hikes. "It's a magical experience.and I enjoy sharing it, especially at some of my favorite locations, like the High Force Waterfall, England's largest waterfall, in Teesdale."
There are plenty of studies that show the health benefits of being in nature. Spending at least two hours a week outdoors, particularly while engaging in activities that involve "effortless attention", can decrease blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels. Walking at night has the added benefit of improving sleep,which is important for overall health,says Christina Pierpaoli Parker,a behavioral sleep researcher at the University of Alabama.Parker says that star walking works on two physiological processes that determine sleep quality. "Movement and exercise, such as relaxing stargazing walks outside, may facilitate sleep."she says.
Lintern advises reading up on the night sky before setting out Free mobile apps,such as Star Walk 2, can help identify celestial bodies and are easy to use-simply point your phones at the sky to get a map. Websites like Sky Telescope and NASA's Space Place cover the basics,have in-depth explanations for constellations (星座)，and offer advice on gear and equipment.
At the end of the day, the best advice is to take it slow and enjoy the journey.

12.【江苏省南京市2022-2023学年高三上学期期初考】
“Can we eat this one, Dad ” my four-year-old daughter, Alicia, asks. We’re on one of our Thursday adventures, searching the nearby woods for eatable mushrooms. She’s pointing at a bright-red cap covered with white dots. I pull out my handy mushroom-identification app, which notes that Amanita muscaria, while eatable if prepared properly, is also a known hallucinogen (致幻剂). I have a firm “tell them the truth and be as precise as possible” philosophy and explain what the app says, and that I don’t think our Thursday adventures are ready to get quite that adventurous yet.
Watching your kids learn new skills is extraordinarily rewarding, but I’ve experienced more personal growth than I have at any other point in my life.
Last year, after a winter of practicing skiing on the green tracks for beginners each week, Alicia was french-frying her way down blues and even attempted her first black. That month also witnessed me visiting the mountain more times than in the 15 years combined and I’ve got myself a partner for life.
It’s not all easy—but sometimes that’s the point. Alicia practices the violin every day, and although she enjoys it, even 15 minutes of practice can upset her. The trick, I’ve found, is to let her watch me try to get better at something, too. I start taking piano lessons at 41 years old with the idea that if she sees me struggling as I practice and then improve, she’ll understand that things don’t come easy, even for grown-ups. I know there’s going to be a time when I’ll end up on the sideline cheering her on as she finds her own passions. I’m okay with this, and I’m hoping that by then she’ll carry the joy of practice and knowledge through life.
4. What does the father imply by saying “I’ve got myself a partner for life.”
A. It is rewarding to learn new skills. B. Skiing has become his lifelong hobby.
C. He will explore more with his daughter. D. His dau
