A blind Chinese climber reached the summit(顶点)of Qomolangma, known in the West as Mount Everest, on Monday morning, becoming the first blind person from Asia ever to conquer the world’s highest summit.
Zhang Hong, 46, reached the top from the Nepali side, along with three high-altitude guides.
Zhang, who was born in Chongqing, lost his sight at the age of 21. He now works at Fukang Hospital Affiliated with Tibet University in Lhasa. As Zhang began his climb of Qomolangma, which is 8,848. 86 meters above sea level, his colleagues in Lhasa were excited to hear the news of his success.
“Many people may have doubted his attempt of climbing at first, but I was confident in him from the beginning,” said Kyila, the secretary of the Fukang Angel Foundation, who also is a blind person. “I knew before that he could make it, and he did make it. I am really happy for him. He is a model for blind people to encourage them to chase their dreams.”
Zhang’s passion for climbing was inspired by Lotse, a famous Tibetan climber who conquered all the world’s 14 summits above the altitude of 8,000 meters. Lotse had shared the story of the blind US mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer, who climbed Qomolangma in May 2001. Zhang was touched by the story, which ignited his dream of climbing.
As an amateur climber for years, Zhang had conquered three mountains above the altitude of 6,000 meters before climbing the world’s highest summit. He had begun preparing for the Qomolangma climb in 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病), all mountaineering teams on Qomolangma were canceled in Nepal and China last year, and he had to wait until recently to finally make the attempt.
24.What can we infer from what Kyila said
A. He had been inspired by Lotse.
B. He had much belief in Zhang’s success.
C. Zhang’s colleagues doubted his motivation.
D. Zhang centered on climbing in his spare time.
25.What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Lighted. B. Accomplished. C. Followed. D. Recalled.
26.Why did Zhang Hong fail to climb Qomolangma in 2020
A. He was too weak. B. He wasn’t well prepared.
C. A pandemic broke out. D. Extreme weather occurred.
27.What’s the best title for the text
A. Zhang Hong Sets an Example to Others
B. A Blind Climber Reaches Qomolangma Summit
C. Qomolangma Attracts More Chinese to Climb
D. A Chinese Climber Got Through the Pandemic

In 1954, Eleanor - my grandma—in great need of income, walked into the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. There she convinced some of the greatest scientists that she was the perfect person for their ant collection.
As a teenager, Eleanor spent hours wandering around the halls of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, flipping through gift shop books about insect mounting(固定于载片上). But that was all her experience in the field.
During her job interview at Harvard, when Philip Darlington, an influential zoologist at that time, asked Eleanor about her specialty, she replied, “Oh, I like everything.”
“He probably realized right then that I have nothing special,” she says. She once worked in a hardware store in New York, and she had no typing skills to be a secretary. She had dropped out of the Tyler School of Fine Arts to marry. But that artistic background was a selling point for the Harvard Job, and she was hired on the spot.
Now artistic background are common for researchers. At that time, however, hiring a woman who had dropped out of art school was certainly a risk. It paid off, Eleanor’s job as a technician required the same quality that art school had demanded. She began each day at the museum mixing glue(胶水). Then she pulled the dead ants from the containers and set them out to dry. Some ants were small-barely 3 millimeters long-requiring patience and a careful hand. Eleanor needed to fix the ant bodies with a spot of glue and write a label for each of them.
The job required her to work quickly, yet correctly. “The average person never really hears about the expertise and the effort that goes into it.” said Wilson, an expert at the Museum. Rushing would risk ruining a rare specimen (标本), but Eleanor could process ants as quickly and many as 200 a day. Wilson said that she was the best technician who ever worked for him.
28.Why was Eleanor hired
A. She once studied at an art school. B. She’s married and in need of money.
C. She was interested in mounting insects. D. She was experienced in the Museum career.
29.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Eleanor’s payment. B. Eleanor’s effort.
C. Eleanor’s artistic background. D. Eleanor’s being hired.
30.Why does the author quote Wilson’s word in the last paragraph
A. To prove how painful Eleanor’s job is. B. To highlight Eleanor’s outstanding ability.
C. To praise Eleanor’s bravery and creativity. D. To provide evidence of Eleanor’s work process.
31.Which of the following best describes Eleanor
A. Ambitious. B. Emotional. C. Creative. D. Skillful.
D
We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However. light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But. the fact is that it does affect mankind. other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting. car headlights. station lights. streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies. it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night. Needless to mention. bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt. wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm (节奏). It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So. it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this. the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all. coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle. some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example. while installing (安装) outdoor lighting. make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also. use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not. many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
32.What can we learn about light pollution
A. It has little effect on plants. B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It is a negative fruit of light technology. D. It affects animals’ behavior during the day.
33.Why does light pollution affect the climate
A. It increases the temperature at night. B. It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases. D. It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
34.How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution
A. Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B. Use clean energy to produce electricity.
C. Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D. Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.
B. Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C. There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D. Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

The next morning. I took out my piggy bank and shook it. _________________________________________

W: Hi, everyone. As we are waiting here, let me introduce Castle Howard to you. Castle Howard has become a popular tourist attraction in recent years. Though its name contains the word “castle”, it is not a true castle, because it was never used for defence. Castle Howard is actually an English country house. It has been home to the Howard family for more than 300 years. Over the years, a number of films have been shot there. When you visit it tomorrow, you’ll see many things. Perhaps there’s too much to see, but make sure you don’t miss these two things. First, the Walled Gardens. It is a group of three gardens. You can find 2,000 different types of roses there, almost all types of roses in England. The Walled Gardens is open every day of the year, except Christmas. Second, the Woodland Garden. It is known for flowering plants, fruit trees and pathways through a wooded setting. In a word, Castle Howard is really beautiful. You could spend a whole day enjoying its beauty tomorrow.

(河南省名校联盟2022-2023学年高二上学期开学考)A blind Chinese climber reached the summit(顶点)of Qomolangma, known in the West as Mount Everest, on Monday morning, becoming the first blind person from Asia ever to conquer the world’s highest summit.
Zhang Hong, 46, reached the top from the Nepali side, along with three high-altitude guides.
Zhang, who was born in Chongqing, lost his sight at the age of 21. He now works at Fukang Hospital Affiliated with Tibet University in Lhasa. As Zhang began his climb of Qomolangma, which is 8,848. 86 meters above sea level, his colleagues in Lhasa were excited to hear the news of his success.
“Many people may have doubted his attempt of climbing at first, but I was confident in him from the beginning,” said Kyila, the secretary of the Fukang Angel Foundation, who also is a blind person. “I knew before that he could make it, and he did make it. I am really happy for him. He is a model for blind people to encourage them to chase their dreams.”
Zhang’s passion for climbing was inspired by Lotse, a famous Tibetan climber who conquered all the world’s 14 summits above the altitude of 8,000 meters. Lotse had shared the story of the blind US mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer, who climbed Qomolangma in May 2001. Zhang was touched by the story, which ignited his dream of climbing.
As an amateur climber for years, Zhang had conquered three mountains above the altitude of 6,000 meters before climbing the world’s highest summit. He had begun preparing for the Qomolangma climb in 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic(流行病), all mountaineering teams on Qomolangma were canceled in Nepal and China last year, and he had to wait until recently to finally make the attempt.
24.What can we infer from what Kyila said
A. He had been inspired by Lotse.
B. He had much belief in Zhang’s success.
C. Zhang’s colleagues doubted his motivation.
D. Zhang centered on climbing in his spare time.
25.What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Lighted. B. Accomplished. C. Followed. D. Recalled.
26.Why did Zhang Hong fail to climb Qomolangma in 2020
A. He was too weak. B. He wasn’t well prepared.
C. A pandemic broke out. D. Extreme weather occurred.
27.What’s the best title for the text
A. Zhang Hong Sets an Example to Others
B. A Blind Climber Reaches Qomolangma Summit
C. Qomolangma Attracts More Chinese to Climb
D. A Chinese Climber Got Through the Pandemic
【答案与解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国盲人张洪登上珠穆朗玛峰的故事。
24.推理判断题。根据第四段Kyila的话“I knew before that he could make it, and he did make it. I am really happy for him. (我之前就知道他能做到，他确实做到了。我真的为他感到高兴)”可推知，他对张的成功充满信心，故选B项。
25.词义猜测题。根据第五段“Lotse had shared the story of the blind US mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer, who climbed Qomolangma in May 2001. Zhang was touched by the story, which ignited his dream of climbing.(洛茨曾分享过美国盲人登山者埃里克·维亨迈尔在2001年5月攀登珠穆朗玛峰的故事。这个故事感动了他，ignited了他的登山梦想)”中划线词后“his dream of climbing”和可推知，埃里克·维亨迈尔的故事点燃了张的登山梦想，结合选项，动词ignite与light同义，意为“点燃，激起”，故选A项。
26.细节理解题。根据最后一段“He had begun preparing for the Qomolangma climb in 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), all mountaineering teams on Qomolangma were canceled in Nepal and China last year, and he had to wait until recently to finally make the attempt.(他已经在2019年开始为攀登珠穆朗玛峰做准备。然而，由于新冠肺炎疫情，去年在尼泊尔和中国的珠峰登山队都被取消了，他直到最近才终于尝试)”可知，一场流行病爆发导致2020年张宏没能登上珠峰，故选C项。
27.主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“A blind Chinese climber reached the summit (顶点) of Qomolangma, known in the West as Mount Everest, on Monday morning, becoming the first blind person from Asia ever to conquer the world’s highest summit. (21日上午，一名中国盲人登上了被西方称为“Mount Everest”的珠穆朗玛峰。这是亚洲盲人登上珠峰的第一个人)”可知，本文主要讲述了一名盲人攀登者登上了珠穆朗玛峰峰顶的壮举，故“A Blind Climber Reaches Qomolangma Summit(一名盲人攀登者登上了珠穆朗玛峰峰顶)”是文章最佳标题，故选B项。

(广东省广州市荔湾区2022-2023学年高一下学期6月期末)In 1954, Eleanor - my grandma—in great need of income, walked into the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. There she convinced some of the greatest scientists that she was the perfect person for their ant collection.
As a teenager, Eleanor spent hours wandering around the halls of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, flipping through gift shop books about insect mounting(固定于载片上). But that was all her experience in the field.
During her job interview at Harvard, when Philip Darlington, an influential zoologist at that time, asked Eleanor about her specialty, she replied, “Oh, I like everything.”
“He probably realized right then that I have nothing special,” she says. She once worked in a hardware store in New York, and she had no typing skills to be a secretary. She had dropped out of the Tyler School of Fine Arts to marry. But that artistic background was a selling point for the Harvard Job, and she was hired on the spot.
Now artistic background are common for researchers. At that time, however, hiring a woman who had dropped out of art school was certainly a risk. It paid off, Eleanor’s job as a technician required the same quality that art school had demanded. She began each day at the museum mixing glue(胶水). Then she pulled the dead ants from the containers and set them out to dry. Some ants were small-barely 3 millimeters long-requiring patience and a careful hand. Eleanor needed to fix the ant bodies with a spot of glue and write a label for each of them.
The job required her to work quickly, yet correctly. “The average person never really hears about the expertise and the effort that goes into it.” said Wilson, an expert at the Museum. Rushing would risk ruining a rare specimen (标本), but Eleanor could process ants as quickly and many as 200 a day. Wilson said that she was the best technician who ever worked for him.
28.Why was Eleanor hired
A. She once studied at an art school. B. She’s married and in need of money.
C. She was interested in mounting insects. D. She was experienced in the Museum career.
29.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Eleanor’s payment. B. Eleanor’s effort.
C. Eleanor’s artistic background. D. Eleanor’s being hired.
30.Why does the author quote Wilson’s word in the last paragraph
A. To prove how painful Eleanor’s job is. B. To highlight Eleanor’s outstanding ability.
C. To praise Eleanor’s bravery and creativity. D. To provide evidence of Eleanor’s work process.
31.Which of the following best describes Eleanor
A. Ambitious. B. Emotional. C. Creative. D. Skillful.
【答案与解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者的奶奶在Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology成为收集蚂蚁的最佳人选的故事以及她的工作的相关情况。
28.推理判断题。根据第四段的“But that artistic background was a selling point for the Harvard Job, and she was hired on the spot.(但她的艺术背景是哈佛工作的一个卖点，她当场就被录用了。)”可知，聘用埃莉诺是因为她曾在一所艺术学校学习，故选A。
29.词义猜测题(代词的指代)。根据第四段的“But that artistic background was a selling point for the Harvard Job, and she was hired on the spot.(但她的艺术背景是哈佛工作的一个卖点，她当场就被录用了。)”和第五段的“Now artistic background are common for researchers.(现在，艺术背景对研究人员来说很常见。)”可知，此处的It指的是上文提到的“艺术背景”，故选C。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Rushing would risk ruining a rare specimen (标本), but Eleanor could process ants as quickly and many as 200 a day. Wilson said that she was the best technician who ever worked for him.(匆忙可能会毁掉一个罕见的标本，但埃莉诺可以快速处理蚂蚁，一天多达200只。威尔逊说她是他手下最好的技术员。)”可知，作者在最后一段引用威尔逊的话是为了突出埃莉诺的杰出能力，故选B。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Rushing would risk ruining a rare specimen (标本), but Eleanor could process ants as quickly and many as 200 a day. Wilson said that she was the best technician who ever worked for him.(匆忙可能会毁掉一个罕见的标本，但埃莉诺可以快速处理蚂蚁，一天多达200只。威尔逊说她是他手下最好的技术员。)”可知，Eleanor是技术熟练的，故选D。

(辽宁省名校联盟2022-2023学年高一下学期6月月考)We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However. light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But. the fact is that it does affect mankind. other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting. car headlights. station lights. streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies. it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night. Needless to mention. bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt. wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm (节奏). It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So. it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this. the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all. coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle. some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example. while installing (安装) outdoor lighting. make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also. use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not. many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
32.What can we learn about light pollution
A. It has little effect on plants. B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It is a negative fruit of light technology. D. It affects animals’ behavior during the day.
33.Why does light pollution affect the climate
A. It increases the temperature at night. B. It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases. D. It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
34.How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution
A. Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B. Use clean energy to produce electricity.
C. Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D. Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.
B. Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C. There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D. Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.
【答案与解析】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了光污染的定义、造成的危害及防治建议等。
32.细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“ It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting. car headlights. station lights. streetlights and many more.(它展示了各种形式的误用人造光。造成光污染的明显原因是户外照明产品使用不当。它可以是办公室照明，汽车大灯，车站灯，街灯等等)”可知，光污染是滥用各种人造光源而形成的，可以说是光技术的坏影响，故选C。
33.细节理解题。根据文章第四段关键句“It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all. coal or gas is used for producing electricity.(它还会导致温室气体的释放和全球变暖。毕竟，煤或天然气是用来发电的)”可知，光需要电，而电是烧煤或煤气发出来的。因此，从这个角度来说光污染会引起全球变暖，故选D。
34.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“Also. use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.(此外，只使用家庭和办公室所需的照明设备)”可知，在家里和办公室里只用必需的照明产品便可减少光污染，即避免不必要的照明，故选C。
35.推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“Believe it or not. many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.(信不信由你，许多生活在城市地区的人在晚上看不到晴朗的天空和星星。让我们为减少污染贡献自己的一份力量)”可知， 光污染非常严重，该问题有待紧急解决，故选D。

50.A. hung悬挂；B. waved招手；C. stood站着；D. hid隐藏。根据后文的“on their living room wall”，可知证书是悬挂在墙上的，故选A项。
51.A. excitedly激动地；B. patiently耐心地；C. carefully仔细地；D. seriously严肃地。前文说邻居打印出证明并挂在墙上，这一举动说明邻居很认真对待作者的提议，take sth seriously表示“认真对待”，符合句意，故选D项。
52.A. put放；B. broken打破；C. laughed笑；D. shown显示。根据后文的“adults being so excited to accept it”和此处作对比，邻居本可以对作者的提议一笑置之的，但是他们却很激动地接受了这一提议，故选C项。
53.A. splendid美妙的；B. abstract抽象的；C. ignorant无知的；D. ridiculous可笑的。根据后文句意，孩子奉献爱和成年人接受爱这一行为是美妙的，故选A项。
54.A. sent送；B. lent借；C. gifted赠予；D. passed通过。根据ring，可知是Bill送给Arlene的结婚周年戒指，故选C项。
55.A. suggestion建议；B. reminder提醒人的事物；C. potential潜力，潜能；D. bonus奖励。根据下文“the kind of love I wish to put into this world”可知，这枚戒指作为一个提醒的事物，以提醒我希望在这个世界上投入的爱，故选B项。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2023春·河北石家庄市十五中高二阶段练)It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.

【答案】
The next morning, I took out my piggy bank and shook it. “There should be a lot of money in it. This is years of my savings,” I said to myself. I was about to break it and withdraw money when my mind came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. However, thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the piggy bank broke into pieces and the coins rolled all over the floor.
Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over. I explained to him what had happened. Having known my thought, he fondly touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you.” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now.” “Thank you, Grandpa,” I was overwhelmed with happiness. From that day on, you would always see me riding my bike on the street, leaving my hearty laughter behind.
