Passage 1
(2023山东淄博一模)
My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it.By chance,a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.
We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options.There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world,but we tried our luck,sent a request,and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada,so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.
Inspired by a Canadian couple,we decided to start our own travel blog.We began by writing about The Virgin Islands,highlighting the beautiful beaches.However,for every photo album of a beautiful beach,there were 10 photos of trash.It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue,especially on such primitive and remote beaches.So,we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.
The more we looked into plastic pollution,the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution.From that point,we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free.We changed our daily routines,our way of living,and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.
It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can.This journey has led us to some amazing places,working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.
Our aim now is to keep on going.We love connecting with like-minded people.It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting.Who would have guessed

Passage 2
(2023江苏镇江二模)
Eugene Newman Parker,a leading figure in heliospheric(日球层的) physics for the past half century,passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15.He was 94.
Hailed(誉为) as a visionary in the field of heliophysics,Parker revolutionized our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system.NASA even stated that the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr.Eugene Parker.In 2018,Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.
Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”,a continuous stream of charged particles that flow off the sun.It can become violent,causing space weather that impacts Earth.When Parker’s research was published in 1958,his theory was initially met with skepticism(怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community.The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum(真空),and was thus completely empty of any matter.But,there were no errors in his study or his calculations,and the theory was later proven to be correct in 1962,when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers:“If you do something new or innovative,expect trouble.But think critically about it because if you’re wrong,you want to be the first one to know that.” Parker never co-authored a paper with his students,thus urging them to be independent.
Parker was humble,straightforward,and wise.His son Eric said,“My sister Joyce and I didn’t get a real feel for what a ‘big dog’ our dad was in the field.” They got an even better sense when a month after Parker’s death,they traveled to Lund,Sweden,to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.
5.What can we learn from the second paragraph
A.A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.
B.The sun has less effects on Earth than expected.
C.Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.
D.NASA provided new insights into the lunar effect.
6.Why did people view Parker’s theory of “solar wind” skeptically at first
A.It went against the popular opinion at that time.
B.Some mistakes were found in his calculations.
C.The presence of a supersonic wind was proven by NASA.
D.Matter was believed to exist in the space between planets.
7.What did Parker suggest young researchers do
A.Seek close cooperation.
B.Avoid high expectations.
C.Learn by trial and error.
D.Compete against others.
8.What words can be used to describe Parker according to the passage
A.Straightforward and generous.
B.Responsible and accessible.
C.Intelligent yet conservative.
D.Distinguished yet modest.
Passage 3
(2023浙江嘉兴二模)
Joe Horan,a physical education teacher,has started the program Building Men to create a positive vision of manhood not just for himself,but also for the boys he teaches.Looking back,Mr.Horan says his program developed from a low point in his life.In 2004 as he went through a hard time,he felt society’s definition of manhood was leading him down the wrong path.His life,he says,lacked substance and depth.“A desire became planted in my heart.That is,to find healing from the unhealthy messages I believed about manhood,” he says.Then,his sister recommended a book,Season of Life by Jeffrey Marx,which digs into the discovery of what being a man is all about.Joe took all the clues and started to put life lessons into his class.
Despite limited resources and funding,Building Men began at one middle school in the district in 2006.It grew on a shoestring budget,expanding school by school,year by year.Today,33 teachers,like Mr.Colabufo,work across 18 schools.Mr.Colabufo has known Mr.Horan for several years,noting many people are aware of the program’s success.“Joe’s a legend in this district,” Mr.Colabufo says.
The program appeals to boys at first because of a basketball component,but its secret is how it dives into off-the-court issues through discussions on character.Building Men helps participants gain insight,work to restore self-worth,and learn to calm emotions.SIR is a central component of lessons,standing for significance,integrity,and relationships.
At a recent breakfast fundraiser,Shateek Nelson,a senior at Nottingham High School,shared his experience,having participated in Building Men since middle school.He said he learned to see the bigger picture,rather than living in the moment.He also came to realize his actions affect others,and now he factors that into his decisions.
9.What motivated Joe Horan to start the program Building Men
A.An instructional book.
B.His personal experience.
C.His sister’s suggestion.
D.The society’s expectation.
10.What does the underlined word “shoestring” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Flexible. B.Proper.
C.Tight. D.Balanced.
11.What did Shateek Nelson learn from participating in Building Men
A.One should dream big and then start small.
B.One should live each day as if it were the last day.
C.It is good to gain real-life experience at middle school.
D.It is essential to think more of others in decision-making.
12.What is the best title for the text
A.SIR:Core Component of Physical Education
B.Healthy Life:Involving Substance and Depth
C.Building Men:Teaching Boys About Manhood
D.Manhood:Teenagers’ Power of Handling Issues

10.C 词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Despite limited resources and funding,Building Men began at one middle school in the district in 2006.”可知,最初该项目资金紧张,故而“budget”(预算)也会紧张。故shoestring应表示“紧张的”。
