A
Some people made a list of the best winter tourist destinations based on experts’ recommendation and readers’ votes, considering weather, crowds, seasonal events and other factors.
Cartagena
Located along Colombia’s Caribbean coast, Cartagena is a warm winter attraction being filled with historical sites. If you long for more wonderful water views, take a boat to the nearby Rosario Islands. Winter is a popular time to visit, so you should book your flight and hotel several months earlier.
Auckland
December to February may be the priciest and most crowded time to visit, but the city’s inviting weather makes up for these drawbacks. Calm winds provide a perfect environment for adventurous activities like climbing, jumping from the Auckland Harbour Bridge and skydiving. For a more relaxing vacation, walk through the Cornwall Park.
Phuket
You may find higher accommodation prices and crowds of tourists, but winter visits to this Thai island in the Andaman Sea offer several advantages. Phuket features outstanding weather in winter. You’ll avoid the area’s monsoon (季风) season and enjoy warm temperatures while lying on the banks of beaches. Another advantage: You can get out on the water to explore surrounding islands by boat,
Québec City
Winters here are known for being downright cold, but this Canadian city’s beauty makes the visit worthwhile. Head to Old Québec to see historical buildings dressed out in magical Christmas decoration, then go ice skating at Place d’ Youyille. Time your visit for February when several winter celebrations, such as the Carnaval de Québec and the Mois Multi art festival, take place throughout the city.
1. Which destination should you make a preparation in advance
A. Cartagena. B. Auckland. C. Phuket. D. Québec City.
2. What do Auckland and Phuket have in common

Even in the face of fire, smoke and flood, firefighter Li Shengli doesn’t draw back. He simply says it is his job as a firefighter and his duty as a member of the Communist Party of China.
Li, 51, who became a firefighter in 1991, has fought at the forefront in firefighting and rescue over the past 30 years. He has participated in over 11,000 tasks, saving about 30,000 trapped people.
In one task in May 1993, a fire broke out in a mall in Nanchang. When firefighters arrived at the scene, smoke and fire had blocked all the exits for people inside the building, leaving hundreds of people upstairs in danger. Facing smoke and flames, the then 21-year-old rushed to the front and climbed up the aerial ladder (云梯) to evacuate people from a height of more than 20 meters. Finally, about 270 people were rescued.
“Fear is a human nature, but not retreating is a kind of responsibility. With so many people waiting to be rescued, I couldn’t be afraid, let alone withdraw,” he said.
In July 2021, when several cities in Henan Province were hit by severe floods, Li joined the rescue. He and his teammates used a small boat to transfer trapped people. The boat suddenly lost power and stopped in the water. Without hesitation, Li jumped into the deep water and grabbed a rope to move them to a safe place several hundred meters away.
“The people on the boat were all villagers from my hometown. I brought my teammates to my hometown to fight the flood, and of course I needed to get down into the water first to help,” he said.
In September 2021, Li was transferred to the command center of Jiangxi Fire and Rescue Brigade due to many physical injuries. “The platform has changed, but the heart of being a firefighter is the same. You have to get to the front line when the emergency appears, then others would trust you.”
4. Why was the aerial ladder used in the rescue of the Nanchang fire
A. All the exits of the mall were blocked.
B. The mall was too high for people to get down.
C. People trapped in the mall suffered from injuries.
D. It was funny to carry people with the aerial ladder.
5. Which of the following can best describe Li Shengli
A. Energetic and humorous. B. Honest and confident.
C. Devoted and responsible. D. Curious and brave.
6. What do Li’s words in the last paragraph imply
A. He is willing to pass his belief down.
B. He expects to find more favour with people.
C. He has benefited a lot from his career experiences.
D. He is determined to devote himself to serving people.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Disasters call for more firefighters
B. Hard work pays off, career takes off
C. Firefighter braves dangers to save lives
D. Firefighter jumps into water to save teammates
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了消防员李胜利不畏水火，30年来一直勇敢投身于救灾工作的故事。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“When firefighters arrived at the scene, smoke and fire had blocked all the exits for people inside the building, leaving hundreds of people upstairs in danger.(当消防队员赶到现场时，浓烟和大火封锁了大楼内所有的出口，使楼上数百人处于危险之中。)”可知，因为大火把所有出口都堵住了，所以消防员只能用云梯来疏散被困人员，故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中“When firefighters arrived at the scene, smoke and fire had blocked all the exits for people inside the building, leaving hundreds of people upstairs in danger. Facing smoke and flames, the then 21-year-old rushed to the front and climbed up the aerial ladder(云梯) to evacuate people from a height of more than 20 meters. (当消防队员赶到现场时，浓烟和大火封锁了大楼内所有的出口，使楼上数百人处于危险之中。面对浓烟和火焰，当时21岁的他冲到前面，爬上空中的梯子，从20多米的高度疏散人群。)”和第五段“In July 2021, when several cities in Henan Province were hit by severe floods, Li joined the rescue. He and his teammates used a small boat to transfer trapped people. The boat suddenly lost power and stopped in the water. Without hesitation, Li jumped into the deep water and grabbed a rope to move them to a safe place several hundred meters away.(2021年7月，河南省多个城市遭遇严重洪灾，李加入了救援行动。他和他的队友用一艘小船转移被困的人。船突然失去动力，停在水里。他毫不犹豫地跳入深水中，抓起一根绳子，把他们带到几百米外的安全地带。)”可知，李胜利不顾自身安危参与救灾工作，由此可推知，他很有奉献精神和责任感，故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中李胜利说的话“The platform has changed, but the heart of being a firefighter is the same. You have to get to the front line when the emergency appears, then others would trust you.(平台已经改变了，但作为一名消防员的心是一样的。当紧急情况出现时，你必须到达前线，那么其他人就会信任你。)”可推知，不管平台如何变化，他都决心继续为人民服务，故选D。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Li, 51, who became a firefighter in 1991, has fought at the forefront in firefighting and rescue over the past 30 years. He has participated in over 11,000 tasks, saving about 30,000 trapped people.(现年51岁的李在1991年成为一名消防员，在过去的30年里，他一直站在消防和救援的最前线。他参与了超过11000项任务，拯救了大约30000名被困人员。)”可知，文章主要讲述了消防员李胜利不畏水火，30年来一直勇敢投身于救灾工作的故事。C项“消防队员冒险救人”适合作文章标题，故选C。
C
As newer, more advanced technologies come out, huge amounts of electronics (电子产品) are thrown away, instead of being reused. These goods often end up in landfills, where the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can contain harmful materials. If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems. Most electronics require metals. These metals must be mined from the Earth. Often the mining process creates serious pollution.
A group known as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum is trying to make people more aware of the problems of e-waste. Recently, the WEEE Forum asked researchers from the United Nations (UN) to study a kind of e-waste that’s often not noticed because people don’t consider the goods to be electronics. The WEEE Forum calls this kind “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The UN study shows that about 1/6 of all e-waste is “unable-to-be-seen”. Though it’s “unable-to-be-seen”, it’s certainly not a small amount. The “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste weighs about 9 billion kilograms. The WEEE Forum says that if this e-waste were put into 40-ton trucks and the trucks were then lined up, the line of trucks would be about 5,630 kilometers long.
The surprising kind leading the “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste group was toys. Worldwide, roughly 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. These include goods like car racing sets, electric trains, and musical toys. They also include toys with electronic parts, like dolls that speak or games with electronic timers. In all, toys make up about 35% of “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The report also shows that other everyday goods like home alarms, smoke alarms, power tools, and computer cables (电缆) are also big sources of “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The WEEE Forum is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of e-waste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused.
8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The amount of electronics. B. The development of electronics.
C. The ways of reusing electronics. D. The pollution of electronics.
9. What causes some e-waste often unnoticed
A. People’s interest in electronics’ character.
B. People’s impression on electronics’ package.
C. People’s misunderstanding of electronics.
D. People’s struggle to adapt to electronics.
10. How does the author support his viewpoint in paragraph 3
A. By showing numbers. B. By providing examples.
C. By making a summary. D. By making a comparison,
11. Which of the following is the WEEE Forum’s solution to e-waste
A. Designing advanced electronics. B. Making electronics get reused.
C. Stopping giving away electronics. D. Reducing electronics’ production.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是日常生活中“隐形”的电子垃圾。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“These goods often end up in landfills, where the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can contain harmful materials. If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems.(这些商品往往最终被填埋，其中的化学物质可能对环境构成威胁。电子产品可能含有有害物质。如果这些物质进入地下或水中，污染会导致严重的问题。)”可知，电子产品内含有有害物质，进入地下或水中会导致严重的污染问题，结合下文中的“Most electronics require metals. These metals must be mined from the Earth. Often the mining process creates serious pollution.(大多数电子产品都需要金属。这些金属必须从地球上开采出来。采矿过程通常会造成严重的污染。)”可知，电子产品所需要的金属在开采时会造成严重的污染，由此可知，本段介绍的是电子产品直接或间接地造成了污染问题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Recently, the WEEE Forum asked researchers from the United Nations (UN) to study a kind of e-waste that’s often not noticed because people don’t consider the goods to be electronics.(最近，WEEE论坛邀请联合国(UN)的研究人员研究一种通常不被注意到的电子垃圾，因为人们不认为这些商品是电子产品。)”可知，这种电子产品不被人注意到是因为人们不认为它们是电子产品，由此可知，人们对这种电子产品的误解造成了一些电子产品不被注意到。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste weighs about 9 billion kilograms. The WEEE Forum says that if this e-waste were put into 40-ton trucks and the trucks were then lined up, the line of trucks would be about 5,630 kilometers long. (这些“看不见的”电子垃圾重约90亿公斤。WEEE论坛表示，如果将这些电子垃圾放入40吨重的卡车中，然后排成一排，卡车的队伍将长达5630公里。)”可知，这些电子垃圾重达90亿公斤，如果将电子垃圾放入40顿的卡车中，卡车排成一排，卡车队伍能长达5630公里，由此可知，作者在第三段主要是通过列举数字的方式对其观点进行陈述的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“The WEEE Forum is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of e-waste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused.(WEEE论坛希望，随着越来越多的人和政府意识到电子垃圾，他们将做出更大的努力，确保电子产品得到再利用。)”可知，WEEE论坛希望更多的人和政府意识到电子产品的存在，他们将更加努力地确保电子产品被再利用，由此可知，WEEE论坛认为解决电子垃圾主要的方法是让电子产品可以再被利用。故选B项。
D
A powerful earthquake hit Morocco, killing thousands of people and causing huge damage over a large area.
The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. It was not only one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Morocco, but also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,900 people. The earthquake was especially precarious as it happened at night, when most people were asleep at home.
The center of the earthquake was in the Atlas Mountains, about 72 kilometers southwest of Marrakesh, a large city popular with tourists in the center of Morocco. Fortunately, many of its modern buildings survived the earthquake. However, the old part of the city, called the Medina, whose buildings are over 1,000 years old, was hit hard, leaving many of those buildings in ruins.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there were many small villages. Many people in the area lived in simple houses made of mud, a traditional way of building in Morocco. But they’ re not strong enough to survive earthquakes and many of these houses simply fell apart, turning into sand. The Moroccan government has laws requiring buildings to be built more safely, yet these rules were often overlooked.
In larger cities, rescue efforts seemed to be going well. But it took a lot longer for help to reach remote (偏远的) areas in the mountains. That meant the local people in those areas had to deal with the situation on their own. They had to dig through the ruins with their hands, searching for survivors who were trapped. Moreover, many people were sleeping outside, unsure if their houses were safe enough.
More help was on the way. Many outside countries offered teams of experts and emergency supplies. But the government said too many different rescue teams could make the situation more confusing.
12. Why did the earthquake lead to the most deaths on record in Morocco
A. It struck a large and tourist city. B. It was powerful and happened at night.
C. The rescue teams arrived too late. D. The traditional houses were not strong enough.
13. What does the underline word “precarious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Dangerous. B. Powerful. C. Unique. D. Impressive.
14. What was the main difficulty facing the people in the remote mountains
A. They had no shelter to stay. B. They ran out of food supplies.
C They lost contact with the outside world. D. They couldn’t get necessary rescue in time.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A science magazine. B. A travel journal.
C. A news report. D. A cultural website.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。介绍了摩洛哥的一次地震及其造成的损害和相关的救援工作。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. It was not only one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Morocco, but also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,900 people. The earthquake was especially precarious as it happened at night, when most people were asleep at home.(地震发生在周五晚上11点左右。这不仅是摩洛哥有记录以来最强烈的地震之一，也是该国60多年来最致命的地震。据报道，到目前为止，地震已造成2900多人死亡。这次地震发生在晚上，大多数人都在家里睡觉，因此尤其危险)”可知，这次地震震感很强且发生在晚上，所以它造成的人员伤亡也是最惨重的。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“as it happened at night, when most people were asleep at home.”可知，这次地震发生在晚上，大多数人都在家里睡觉，因此这对他们来说是非常危险。故画线词与dangerous意义相近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But it took a lot longer for help to reach remote (偏远的) areas in the mountains. That meant the local people in those areas had to deal with the situation on their own. They had to dig through the ruins with their hands, searching for survivors who were trapped.(但是，帮助到达山区偏远地区需要更长的时间。这意味着这些地区的当地人必须自己应对这种情况。他们不得不用手在废墟中挖掘，寻找被困的幸存者)”可推知，偏远山区的人面临的困难是他们不能及时得到救援。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A powerful earthquake hit Morocco, killing thousands of people and causing huge damage over a large area.(摩洛哥发生强烈地震，造成数千人死亡，并在大片地区造成巨大破坏)”结合文章主要介绍了摩洛哥的一次地震及其造成的损害和相关的救援工作，故本文最有可能来自一篇新闻报道。故选C。

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Some people made a list of the best winter tourist destinations based on experts’ recommendation and readers’ votes, considering weather, crowds, seasonal events and other factors.
Cartagena
Located along Colombia’s Caribbean coast, Cartagena is a warm winter attraction being filled with historical sites. If you long for more wonderful water views, take a boat to the nearby Rosario Islands. Winter is a popular time to visit, so you should book your flight and hotel several months earlier.
Auckland
December to February may be the priciest and most crowded time to visit, but the city’s inviting weather makes up for these drawbacks. Calm winds provide a perfect environment for adventurous activities like climbing, jumping from the Auckland Harbour Bridge and skydiving. For a more relaxing vacation, walk through the Cornwall Park.
Phuket
You may find higher accommodation prices and crowds of tourists, but winter visits to this Thai island in the Andaman Sea offer several advantages. Phuket features outstanding weather in winter. You’ll avoid the area’s monsoon (季风) season and enjoy warm temperatures while lying on the banks of beaches. Another advantage: You can get out on the water to explore surrounding islands by boat,
Québec City
Winters here are known for being downright cold, but this Canadian city’s beauty makes the visit worthwhile. Head to Old Québec to see historical buildings dressed out in magical Christmas decoration, then go ice skating at Place d’ Youyille. Time your visit for February when several winter celebrations, such as the Carnaval de Québec and the Mois Multi art festival, take place throughout the city.
1. Which destination should you make a preparation in advance
A. Cartagena. B. Auckland. C. Phuket. D. Québec City.
2. What do Auckland and Phuket have in common

Even in the face of fire, smoke and flood, firefighter Li Shengli doesn’t draw back. He simply says it is his job as a firefighter and his duty as a member of the Communist Party of China.
Li, 51, who became a firefighter in 1991, has fought at the forefront in firefighting and rescue over the past 30 years. He has participated in over 11,000 tasks, saving about 30,000 trapped people.
In one task in May 1993, a fire broke out in a mall in Nanchang. When firefighters arrived at the scene, smoke and fire had blocked all the exits for people inside the building, leaving hundreds of people upstairs in danger. Facing smoke and flames, the then 21-year-old rushed to the front and climbed up the aerial ladder (云梯) to evacuate people from a height of more than 20 meters. Finally, about 270 people were rescued.
“Fear is a human nature, but not retreating is a kind of responsibility. With so many people waiting to be rescued, I couldn’t be afraid, let alone withdraw,” he said.
In July 2021, when several cities in Henan Province were hit by severe floods, Li joined the rescue. He and his teammates used a small boat to transfer trapped people. The boat suddenly lost power and stopped in the water. Without hesitation, Li jumped into the deep water and grabbed a rope to move them to a safe place several hundred meters away.
“The people on the boat were all villagers from my hometown. I brought my teammates to my hometown to fight the flood, and of course I needed to get down into the water first to help,” he said.
In September 2021, Li was transferred to the command center of Jiangxi Fire and Rescue Brigade due to many physical injuries. “The platform has changed, but the heart of being a firefighter is the same. You have to get to the front line when the emergency appears, then others would trust you.”
4. Why was the aerial ladder used in the rescue of the Nanchang fire
A. All the exits of the mall were blocked.
B. The mall was too high for people to get down.
C. People trapped in the mall suffered from injuries.
D. It was funny to carry people with the aerial ladder.
5. Which of the following can best describe Li Shengli
A. Energetic and humorous. B. Honest and confident.
C. Devoted and responsible. D. Curious and brave.
6. What do Li’s words in the last paragraph imply
A. He is willing to pass his belief down.
B. He expects to find more favour with people.
C. He has benefited a lot from his career experiences.
D. He is determined to devote himself to serving people.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Disasters call for more firefighters
B. Hard work pays off, career takes off
C. Firefighter braves dangers to save lives
D. Firefighter jumps into water to save teammates
C
As newer, more advanced technologies come out, huge amounts of electronics (电子产品) are thrown away, instead of being reused. These goods often end up in landfills, where the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can contain harmful materials. If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems. Most electronics require metals. These metals must be mined from the Earth. Often the mining process creates serious pollution.
A group known as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum is trying to make people more aware of the problems of e-waste. Recently, the WEEE Forum asked researchers from the United Nations (UN) to study a kind of e-waste that’s often not noticed because people don’t consider the goods to be electronics. The WEEE Forum calls this kind “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The UN study shows that about 1/6 of all e-waste is “unable-to-be-seen”. Though it’s “unable-to-be-seen”, it’s certainly not a small amount. The “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste weighs about 9 billion kilograms. The WEEE Forum says that if this e-waste were put into 40-ton trucks and the trucks were then lined up, the line of trucks would be about 5,630 kilometers long.
The surprising kind leading the “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste group was toys. Worldwide, roughly 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. These include goods like car racing sets, electric trains, and musical toys. They also include toys with electronic parts, like dolls that speak or games with electronic timers. In all, toys make up about 35% of “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The report also shows that other everyday goods like home alarms, smoke alarms, power tools, and computer cables (电缆) are also big sources of “unable-to-be-seen” e-waste.
The WEEE Forum is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of e-waste they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused.
8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The amount of electronics. B. The development of electronics.
C. The ways of reusing electronics. D. The pollution of electronics.
9. What causes some e-waste often unnoticed
A. People’s interest in electronics’ character.
B. People’s impression on electronics’ package.
C. People’s misunderstanding of electronics.
D. People’s struggle to adapt to electronics.
10. How does the author support his viewpoint in paragraph 3
A. By showing numbers. B. By providing examples.
C. By making a summary. D. By making a comparison,
11. Which of the following is the WEEE Forum’s solution to e-waste
A. Designing advanced electronics. B. Making electronics get reused.
C. Stopping giving away electronics. D. Reducing electronics’ production.
D
A powerful earthquake hit Morocco, killing thousands of people and causing huge damage over a large area.
The earthquake struck around 11 pm on Friday night. It was not only one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Morocco, but also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,900 people. The earthquake was especially precarious as it happened at night, when most people were asleep at home.
The center of the earthquake was in the Atlas Mountains, about 72 kilometers southwest of Marrakesh, a large city popular with tourists in the center of Morocco. Fortunately, many of its modern buildings survived the earthquake. However, the old part of the city, called the Medina, whose buildings are over 1,000 years old, was hit hard, leaving many of those buildings in ruins.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there were many small villages. Many people in the area lived in simple houses made of mud, a traditional way of building in Morocco. But they’ re not strong enough to survive earthquakes and many of these houses simply fell apart, turning into sand. The Moroccan government has laws requiring buildings to be built more safely, yet these rules were often overlooked.
In larger cities, rescue efforts seemed to be going well. But it took a lot longer for help to reach remote (偏远的) areas in the mountains. That meant the local people in those areas had to deal with the situation on their own. They had to dig through the ruins with their hands, searching for survivors who were trapped. Moreover, many people were sleeping outside, unsure if their houses were safe enough.
More help was on the way. Many outside countries offered teams of experts and emergency supplies. But the government said too many different rescue teams could make the situation more confusing.
12. Why did the earthquake lead to the most deaths on record in Morocco
A. It struck a large and tourist city. B. It was powerful and happened at night.
C. The rescue teams arrived too late. D. The traditional houses were not strong enough.
13. What does the underline word “precarious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Dangerous. B. Powerful. C. Unique. D. Impressive.
14. What was the main difficulty facing the people in the remote mountains
A. They had no shelter to stay. B. They ran out of food supplies.
C. They lost contact with the outside world. D. They couldn’t get necessary rescue in time.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A science magazine. B. A travel journal.
C. A news report. D. A cultural website.
