UNESCO World Heritage Sites were created to celebrate and safeguard the most unique places around the world. Below are my 4 favorite UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Cinque Terre, Italy
With cars banned here, you'll really get to feel the unique history and character of the Cinque Terre's five centuries-old coastal villages. The breathtaking views of harbors(港口)far below the wild coastline along with the rich colors will definitely make it a memorable holiday.
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Angkor Wat is the world's largest religious(宗教的)monument and it contains impressive remains from the Khmer Empire(9th to 15th century). The site has dozens of iconic temples like Ta Prohm(a magnificent temple ruin hidden in the jungle). Hosting more than two million visitors annually, this artistic masterpiece is a must-see site.
Petra, Jordan
Petra's rock-cut architecture has contributed to its nickname, the Rose City, based on the color of the stone it was carved from. The delicate constructions of temples and tombs along with the remains of churches and temples are only a couple of reasons why this world-famous site is a must-visit destination.
Yellowstone National Park, USA
Yellowstone's vast wilderness includes mountain ranges, lakes and waterfalls. One of the main reasons for tourists to visit Yellowstone is to observe the amazing wildlife like grizzly bear, bison, bighorn sheep wander the plains and valleys.

When I handed my daughter a copy of King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry, she looked skeptical. She reluctantly agreed to read it with me after I told her it was one of my favorite stories when I was her age, and her skepticism quickly morphed into enthusiasm as she fell in love with the book.
Watching her connect to the story brought back a flood of memories about my first time reading the book. It was like introducing my daughter to a much younger version of myself. I highly recommend other parents share their favorite childhood books, a sweet activity with lots of benefits.
Every night, I sit on the end of my daughters'beds and read them the stories I've cherished for decades. This distraction-free time gives my kids the chance to ask questions about the book we're reading, the "olden days" when I was a kid, and whatever else is on their minds.
My 9-year-old especially adores this time together and the deeper connection she feels to her family because of it. Reading her a book that holds significant meaning for me brings us together in a whole new way.
There's nothing better than watching my kids' reactions to books I've loved my entire life. They chattered with excitement when Charlie found his golden ticket in Roald Dahl's classic and pulled the covers over their blushing faces when Almanzo asked Laura if he could walk her home in the Little House series.
In these moments, it feels like I'm reaching through time and connecting my childhood with theirs.
Every generation has books that define them. For my kids, it's mostly fantasy and realistic fiction. By reading my childhood favorites to them, my kids step outside their comfort zones and try new genres, authors, and writing styles. My 9-year-old didn't know she loved folklore until we read my favorite collection of Japanese children's stories together. My 11-year-old became obsessed with wilderness survival stories when I read Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins to her.
4.Which can best replace the underlined word in the first paragraph
A.changed B.translated C.built D.burnt
5.How does reading together influence the author and his daughters

A.They are excited and pleased.
B.They are bored but curious.
C.They are astonished and sad.
D.They are uninterested but grateful.
7.What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph

B.He helps his children find their interests.
C.He fails to get his children out of fantasy.
D.He prefers to read children's books.

When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure(确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization(UNO)could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, "Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime." If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
8.According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time
A.By solving the cost problems.
B.By solving the transportation problems.
C.By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.
D.By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
9.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence
A.Providing food is vital.
B.Learning to fish is helpful.
C.Teaching skills is essential. D Looking after others is important.
10.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands
A.A medical team. B.An exchange program.
C.A water plant. D.Financial support.
11.What can we infer about international aid from the passage
A.It is facing difficulties.
B.It is unnecessary during normal times.
C.It should be given in the form of materials.
D.It has gained support from developed countries.

The curb cut(路缘坡)is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one.
Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.
But it was created with a different purpose in mind.
It's hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps(斜坡)to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb "might as well have been Mount Everest" for wheelchair-bound people. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help disadvantaged people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.
I think about the "curb cut effect" a lot when working on issues around health equality. The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equality as "a zero-sum game(零和游戏)". Basically, there is a deeply rooted social belief among them that intentionally supporting one group hurts another. What the curb cut effect reveals though, Blackwell said is that "when society-creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins."
One such example is closed captioning(字幕), originally intended to help deaf people understand movies and TV shows without needing to hear dialogue or sounds. But it's easy to think of other applications for closed captioning: it's convenient for customers watching TV in a noisy bar or gym, second-language learners who want to read as well as listen, or students who use it as a study aid.
So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.
12.What does the underlined quote imply concerning a six-inch curb
A.It is an unforgettable symbol.
B.It is an impassable barrier.
C.It is an important sign.
D.It is an impressive landmark.
13.According to Angela Blackwell, what do many people believe
A.It's not worthwhile to promote health equality.
B.It's necessary to go all out to help the disabled.
C.It's impossible to have everyone treated equally.
D.It's fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others.
14.Which of the following examples best illustrates the "curb cut effect" principle
A.The four great inventions of ancient China spread to other countries in the world.
B.Reading machines for blind people help build the digital maps drivers use to navigate.
C.Your reaching out to the disadvantaged contributes to more people doing it.
D.A butterfly flapping its wings in one country leads to a Tornado in another country.
15.What is the main idea of the text
A.The curb cut is a convenient ramp designed to benefit the disabled.
B.Everyone in a society should be treated equally.
C.Supporting disadvantaged groups often ends up benefiting much larger ranges of society.
D.How disability rights activists fought for equality that changed the life of his followers.

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. 16. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Climate change can cause extreme events like wildfires and floods. 17.
How does climate change make you feel The news of melting glaciers and oil spills may seem overwhelming and can make you feel angry, frightened, hopeless or upset. This is called climate anxiety. 18. If you feel worried about what's happening to the world, it's good for you. It's normal to be upset when things you care about are getting hurt.
19. There are lots of things you can do to help society take better care of the world. Turn your fear into power by doing something. Breaking the problem into bite-sized chunks is a good way to start. Think of something you feel passionate about, such as protecting ocean life or saving forests, and join a community group or charity that supports that cause.
Positive action can inspire others too. Sisters Kim and Stella King from the charity Fights Against Plastic have picked up 90,000 pieces of plastic. They ask schools, businesses and organizations to follow their lead. Remember, it's important to get support from people around. 20.
A. Why is there climate anxiety
B And it is a normal, healthy response.
C. This risks the lives of humans, animals and plants.
D. Melting glaciers contribute a third of sea-level rise.
F No one can fix climate change on their own but we can all play a part.
f. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle.
G. So, tell friends and family what you're up to and encourage them to join in.

52.第二节 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A vegetarian diet(素食)is often praised for its health benefits. Studies have shown that vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease and a risk of diabetes(糖尿病)than people who eat meat. What most people are less aware of, however, are the effects that a vegetarian diet can have on the environment.
Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how consumer behavior affects the environment. The study showed that meat consumption is one of the main ways that humans can damage the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.
Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane gas(沼气)by expelling(排出)wind from their bodies. One co w can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the atmosphere comes from farm animals.
Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water andland.2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef, whereas 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes.
Many people now see the benefits of switching to a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays a vital role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes(排除) all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.

10.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的" For example, a country could share its technology with another.

14.考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"What the curb cut effect reveals though, Blackwell said is that ‘when society-creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.'"Blackwell说,路缘坡效应揭示的是,"当社会创造了一种环境,允许那些被落在后面的人参与并充分贡献时,每个人都是赢家。";以及第六段"One such example is closed captioning (字幕), originally intended to help deaf people understand movies and TV shows without needing to hear dialogue or sounds. But it's easy to think of other applications for closed captioning: it's convenient for customers watching TV in a noisy bar or gym, second-language learners who want to read as well as listen, or students who use it as a study aid."其中一个例子就是隐形字幕,最初是为了帮助聋哑人在不需要听到对话或声音的情况下理解电影和电视节目。但是,我们很容易想到封闭字幕的其他应用:在嘈杂的酒吧或健身房看电视的顾客,既想听又想读的第二语言学习者,或者把它作为学习辅助工具的学生,都可以方便地使用它。可知,所谓的路缘坡效应指的是一项研究或发现,本来是想服务于某个弱势群体,但是最后帮助了更多的人。"为盲人设计的阅读设备可以帮助司机制作用于导航的数字地图。"最能说明这一效应。故选B。
15.考查主旨大意。根据最后一段"So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us."所以,下次当你过马路的时候,或者在人行横道上滚动你的行李箱的时候,或者在人行道上骑自行车的时候,想想路缘削减了多少,这种设计上的改变打破了一个处于不利地位的群体的排斥之墙,不仅帮助了这个群体,而且帮助了我们所有人;以及全文内容可知,本文讲述了"路缘坡效应"的原理,即当社会为弱势群体提供方便时,这种行为会传递给其他人,形成一个良性循环,最终受益的是整个社会。因此,文章的主要思想是支持弱势群体往往会带来更大的社会效益。故选C。

However, some nutritionists are opposed to being a complete vegetarian for fear of lacking necessary nutrition.
【知识点】文字式说明文;概要写作
【解析】【分析】本题是一篇概要写作。写作步骤:
1)细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握文章主旨。文章介绍了素食因为对健康有利越来越受到人们的青睐,但素食主义者自己没有意识到的事情是素食对环境的影响。有关科学家研究表明人们的饮食行为会对环境造成影响,首先是农民饲养的动物排放有毒的甲烷,另外,肉食生产的过程和粮食生产的过程比较起来要耗费更多的水和土壤,但是一些营养学家不建议人们成为严格的素食主义者,人的身体需要奶酪、鸡蛋等动物产品来补充必要的维生素和矿物质。
2)弄清结构,归纳段意。概要写作是写全文概要,不是写某一部分的概要,或者就某些问题写出要点。
3)列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构,将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。
4)在写作时要特别注意下面几点:
(1)概要应包括原文中的主要事实,略去不必要的细节。
(2)安排好篇幅的比例,概要应同原文保持协调,即用较多的文字写重要内容,用较少的文字写次要内容。
(3)注意要点之间的衔接,要用适当的关联词语贯通全文,切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子,但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语,以免显得生硬。
(4)不排斥用原文的某些词句,但不要照搬原文的句子,如果不能完全用自己的话语表达,至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换,如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。
(5)计算词数,看是否符合规定的词数要求。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全,上下文连贯,使用一定数量的句式结构,让句子更加生动丰满,同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语,提高文章的档次,体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如: A recent study revealed that eating meat does great harm to our environment.运用了宾语从句; For one thing, all farm animals give off large amounts of methane gas, contributing more to global warming than carbon dioxide.运用了现在分词作状语;However, some nutritionists are opposed to being a complete vegetarian for fear of lacking necessary nutrition.运用了被动语态。

When I handed my daughter a copy of King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry, she looked skeptical. She reluctantly agreed to read it with me after I told her it was one of my favorite stories when I was her age, and her skepticism quickly morphed into enthusiasm as she fell in love with the book.
Watching her connect to the story brought back a flood of memories about my first time reading the book. It was like introducing my daughter to a much younger version of myself. I highly recommend other parents share their favorite childhood books, a sweet activity with lots of benefits.
Every night, I sit on the end of my daughters'beds and read them the stories I've cherished for decades. This distraction-free time gives my kids the chance to ask questions about the book we're reading, the "olden days" when I was a kid, and whatever else is on their minds.
My 9-year-old especially adores this time together and the deeper connection she feels to her family because of it. Reading her a book that holds significant meaning for me brings us together in a whole new way.
There's nothing better than watching my kids' reactions to books I've loved my entire life. They chattered with excitement when Charlie found his golden ticket in Roald Dahl's classic and pulled the covers over their blushing faces when Almanzo asked Laura if he could walk her home in the Little House series.
In these moments, it feels like I'm reaching through time and connecting my childhood with theirs.
Every generation has books that define them. For my kids, it's mostly fantasy and realistic fiction. By reading my childhood favorites to them, my kids step outside their comfort zones and try new genres, authors, and writing styles. My 9-year-old didn't know she loved folklore until we read my favorite collection of Japanese children's stories together. My 11-year-old became obsessed with wilderness survival stories when I read Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins to her.
4.Which can best replace the underlined word in the first paragraph
A.changed B.translated C.built D.burnt
5.How does reading together influence the author and his daughters
A.They don t understand each other.
B.They forget their unhappiness in the past.
C.They become closer to each other.
D.They get bored with each other.
6.What are the kids'responses to the books the author loved in his childhood
A.They are excited and pleased.
B.They are bored but curious.
C.They are astonished and sad.
D.They are uninterested but grateful.
7.What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph
A.He burdens his children by reading.
B.He helps his children find their interests.
C.He fails to get his children out of fantasy.
D.He prefers to read children's books.

5.考查细节理解。根据第四段"My 9-year-old especially adores this time together and the deeper connection she feels to her family because of it.

7.考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"My 9-year-old didn't know she loved folklore until we read my favorite collection of Japanese children's stories together. My 11-year-old became obsessed with wilderness survival stories when I read Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins to her."直到我们一起读了我最喜欢的日本儿童故事集,我9岁的女儿才知道她喜欢民间传说。当我给我11岁的女儿读斯科特·奥戴尔的《蓝海豚岛》时,她迷上了荒野生存故事。"可推知,作者帮助孩子们找到了她们的兴趣所在,故选B。

When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure(确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization(UNO)could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, "Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime." If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
8.According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time
A.By solving the cost problems.
B.By solving the transportation problems.
C.By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.
D.By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
9.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence
A.Providing food is vital.
B.Learning to fish is helpful.
C.Teaching skills is essential. D Looking after others is important.
10.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands
A.A medical team. B.An exchange program.
C.A water plant. D.Financial support.
11.What can we infer about international aid from the passage
A.It is facing difficulties.

【知识点】推理判断题;细节理解题;说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,灾难在全球是不可避免的。国际援助雪中送炭。然而援助要落到实处,着实要有些高效的措施。灾难区要直接受惠于援助,联合国为此做出了努力。比如,建立一个正直无私心救援物质的管理团队。当然,本文作者认为高效的援助不在于物质,而是平日里技术知识的共享——打造坚强友谊,互派国际交换生!
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。
8.考查细节理解 。根据第一段中的"Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes."也许联合国办事处可以在每个国家建立一个由忠诚的男女组成的机构,他们可以迅速向洪水和地震的受害者分发援助物资。可知,救援物质要快速地分配到灾区,联合国可以在各国组建一支特别团队,专门实施这项工作。故选C。
9.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime."相当于汉语谚语"授人以鱼不如授人以渔。",强调的是"渔"(技术);以及"For example, a country could share its technology with another."一个国家可以与另一国共享技术资源;和"…like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites."比如农业,或像医疗卫生保健甚至卫星的制造等复杂领域。等。可推断,作者想表达教授技术至关重要。故选C。
10.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的" For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands. "例如,一个国家可以与另一个国家分享其技术。这可能是在简单的领域,如农业,或更复杂的领域,如医疗和保健,甚至在建设卫星方面。即使是小国也能帮助欠发达国家。有时,理所当然的做法,如建立净水厂或管理一所学校,可能对那些正在寻求解决共同问题的国家有用。分享这些简单的东西并不需要花费太多。交换生可以待数月或数年,并在网站上学习所需的工艺。然后,他们可以把他们的知识带回他们的祖国,如果有必要的话,他们会时不时地回来消除疑虑或更新自己。这种援助将是真正有帮助的,不可能是暂时的,也不可能落入坏人之手。可推断,财政支持可能落入坏人之手。故选D。
11.考查推理判断。 根据第一段中的"When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure(确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended."在提供国际援助时,必须采取步骤确保援助能够到达援助的对象手中;第二段中的"More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times."比起一个国家在灾难中给予另一个国家的帮助,在正常时期给予其他形式的帮助会更有效;以及第三段中的"Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills."许多国家开设了各种技能课程。所以本文分别阐述解决国际援助尴尬的有效办法。可推断,国际援助面临困难。故选A。

The curb cut(路缘坡)is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one.
Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.
But it was created with a different purpose in mind.
It's hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps(斜坡)to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb "might as well have been Mount Everest" for wheelchair-bound people. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help disadvantaged people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.
I think about the "curb cut effect" a lot when working on issues around health equality. The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equality as "a zero-sum game(零和游戏)". Basically, there is a deeply rooted social belief among them that intentionally supporting one group hurts another. What the curb cut effect reveals though, Blackwell said is that "when society-creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins."
One such example is closed captioning(字幕), originally intended to help deaf people understand movies and TV shows without needing to hear dialogue or sounds. But it's easy to think of other applications for closed captioning: it's convenient for customers watching TV in a noisy bar or gym, second-language learners who want to read as well as listen, or students who use it as a study aid.
So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.
12.What does the underlined quote imply concerning a six-inch curb
A.It is an unforgettable symbol.
B.It is an impassable barrier.
C.It is an important sign.
D.It is an impressive landmark.
13.According to Angela Blackwell, what do many people believe
A.It's not worthwhile to promote health equality.
B.It's necessary to go all out to help the disabled.
C.It's impossible to have everyone treated equally.
D.It's fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others.
14.Which of the following examples best illustrates the "curb cut effect" principle
A.The four great inventions of ancient China spread to other countries in the world.
B.Reading machines for blind people help build the digital maps drivers use to navigate.
C.Your reaching out to the disadvantaged contributes to more people doing it.
D.A butterfly flapping its wings in one country leads to a Tornado in another country.
15.What is the main idea of the text
A.The curb cut is a convenient ramp designed to benefit the disabled.
B.Everyone in a society should be treated equally.
C.Supporting disadvantaged groups often ends up benefiting much larger ranges of society.
D.How disability rights activists fought for equality that changed the life of his followers.

【知识点】词义猜测题;细节理解题;说明文;科普类;文章大意
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了路缘坡的历史、目的和重要性,以及其对人们日常出行的影响。同时文章介绍了"路缘坡效应"的原理,即当社会为弱势群体提供方便时,这种行为会传递给其他人,形成一个良性循环,最终受益的是整个社会。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇科普类阅读,首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握大意,然后结合具体的题目,再读短文,从中找出相关信息,就可以确定正确答案。
12.考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的"That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps (斜坡) to help them move along city blocks without assistance."这对坐轮椅的人来说是件大事,因为没有斜坡帮助他们在没有帮助的情况下沿着城市街区移动。可知,斜坡对坐轮椅的人来说是件大事。可推断,"According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb ‘might as well have been Mount Everest' for wheelchair-bound people. "的意思是:根据一位残疾人权利领袖的说法,对于坐轮椅的人来说,6英寸的路沿"就像珠穆朗玛峰一样"。"就像珠穆朗玛峰一样",指的是6英寸的路沿是很难逾越的障碍。故选B。
13.考查细节理解。根据第五段中的"The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equality as ‘a zero-sum game (零和游戏)'. Basically, there is a deeply rooted social belief among them that intentionally supporting one group hurts another. What the curb cut effect reveals though, Blackwell said is that ‘when society-creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.'"我第一次听说路缘坡效应是在PolicyLink首席执行官Angela Blackwell 2017年在《斯坦福社会创新评论》上发表的一篇文章中。Blackwell正确地指出,许多人将平等视为"零和游戏"。基本上,他们有一种根深蒂固的社会信念,即故意支持一个群体会伤害另一个群体。Blackwell说,路缘坡效应揭示的是,"当社会创造了一种环境,允许那些被落在后面的人参与并充分贡献时,每个人都是赢家。"可知,大多数人相信每个人都被平等对待是不可能的。故选C。
14.考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"What the curb cut effect reveals though, Blackwell said is that ‘when society-creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.'"Blackwell说,路缘坡效应揭示的是,"当社会创造了一种环境,允许那些被落在后面的人参与并充分贡献时,每个人都是赢家。";以及第六段"One such example is closed captioning (字幕), originally intended to help deaf people understand movies and TV shows without needing to hear dialogue or sounds. But it's easy to think of other applications for closed captioning: it's convenient for customers watching TV in a noisy bar or gym, second-language learners who want to read as well as listen, or students who use it as a study aid."其中一个例子就是隐形字幕,最初是为了帮助聋哑人在不需要听到对话或声音的情况下理解电影和电视节目。但是,我们很容易想到封闭字幕的其他应用:在嘈杂的酒吧或健身房看电视的顾客,既想听又想读的第二语言学习者,或者把它作为学习辅助工具的学生,都可以方便地使用它。可知,所谓的路缘坡效应指的是一项研究或发现,本来是想服务于某个弱势群体,但是最后帮助了更多的人。"为盲人设计的阅读设备可以帮助司机制作用于导航的数字地图。"最能说明这一效应。故选B。
15.考查主旨大意。根据最后一段"So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us."所以,下次当你过马路的时候,或者在人行横道上滚动你的行李箱的时候,或者在人行道上骑自行车的时候,想想路缘削减了多少,这种设计上的改变打破了一个处于不利地位的群体的排斥之墙,不仅帮助了这个群体,而且帮助了我们所有人;以及全文内容可知,本文讲述了"路缘坡效应"的原理,即当社会为弱势群体提供方便时,这种行为会传递给其他人,形成一个良性循环,最终受益的是整个社会。因此,文章的主要思想是支持弱势群体往往会带来更大的社会效益。故选C。

Breaking the problem into bite-sized chunks is a good way to start. Think of something you feel passionate about, such as protecting ocean life or saving forests, and join a community group or charity that supports that cause.
Positive action can inspire others too. Sisters Kim and Stella King from the charity Fights Against Plastic have picked up 90,000 pieces of plastic. They ask schools, businesses and organizations to follow their lead. Remember, it's important to get support from people around. 20.
A. Why is there climate anxiety
B And it is a normal, healthy response.
C. This risks the lives of humans, animals and plants.

52.第二节 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A vegetarian diet(素食)is often praised for its health benefits. Studies have shown that vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease and a risk of diabetes(糖尿病)than people who eat meat. What most people are less aware of, however, are the effects that a vegetarian diet can have on the environment.
Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how consumer behavior affects the environment. The study showed that meat consumption is one of the main ways that humans can damage the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.
Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane gas(沼气)by expelling(排出)wind from their bodies. One co w can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the atmosphere comes from farm animals.
Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water andland.2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef, whereas 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes.
Many people now see the benefits of switching to a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays a vital role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes(排除) all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.
【答案】 Vegetarian diets not only are healthy but also affect the environment positively. A recent study revealed that eating meat does great harm to our environment. For one thing, all farm animals give off large amounts of methane gas, contributing more to global warming than carbon dioxide.For another, meat production consumes much more water and land than crop production. However, some nutritionists are opposed to being a complete vegetarian for fear of lacking necessary nutrition.
【知识点】文字式说明文;概要写作
【解析】【分析】本题是一篇概要写作。写作步骤:
1)细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握文章主旨。文章介绍了素食因为对健康有利越来越受到人们的青睐,但素食主义者自己没有意识到的事情是素食对环境的影响。有关科学家研究表明人们的饮食行为会对环境造成影响,首先是农民饲养的动物排放有毒的甲烷,另外,肉食生产的过程和粮食生产的过程比较起来要耗费更多的水和土壤,但是一些营养学家不建议人们成为严格的素食主义者,人的身体需要奶酪、鸡蛋等动物产品来补充必要的维生素和矿物质。
2)弄清结构,归纳段意。概要写作是写全文概要,不是写某一部分的概要,或者就某些问题写出要点。
3)列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构,将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。
4)在写作时要特别注意下面几点:
(1)概要应包括原文中的主要事实,略去不必要的细节。
(2)安排好篇幅的比例,概要应同原文保持协调,即用较多的文字写重要内容,用较少的文字写次要内容。
(3)注意要点之间的衔接,要用适当的关联词语贯通全文,切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子,但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语,以免显得生硬。
(4)不排斥用原文的某些词句,但不要照搬原文的句子,如果不能完全用自己的话语表达,至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换,如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。
(5)计算词数,看是否符合规定的词数要求。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全,上下文连贯,使用一定数量的句式结构,让句子更加生动丰满,同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语,提高文章的档次,体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如: A recent study revealed that eating meat does great harm to our environment.运用了宾语从句; For one thing, all farm animals give off large amounts of methane gas, contributing more to global warming than carbon dioxide.运用了现在分词作状语;However, some nutritionists are opposed to being a complete vegetarian for fear of lacking necessary nutrition.运用了被动语态。
