Steph White always intended to go to college. But life always throws blocks in the way. Growing up, she led a nomadic life because her mother, who divorced and remarried several times, was always on the move. Still, she had good grades and considered herself college bound. But when her stepfather died, leaving her mother to support three daughters on a low income, paying for college became out of the question.
Steph worked and tried to find out what to do with a life that had departed from the plan she’d carefully made. The answer came one afternoon when she was cleaning her bedroom closet. Steph noticed a thick folder in which she found two pages from the English teacher she’d had in junior year, Dorothy Clark. One afternoon, Mrs Clark walked into the classroom carrying papers titled “Mrs. Clark’s Book List.” It wasn’t homework, the teacher announced, but it could be a road map. “Some of you might not go on to higher education,” Mrs. Clark said, “but you can continue to learn.”
Steph had always read for pleasure—magazines, mysteries, and romance novels. Now she would add Mrs. Clark’s suggestions to the mix. Each of those books drove her to learn more about the person, subject matter, or time in history. That made her look for other books that weren’t on the list, hoping to deepen her knowledge. Her least favorite: Karl Marx’s critique of capitalism, Capital. Her critique: “Reading it was like working on a difficult math problem.”
Now Steph is 70 and she never did get to college. But she has only four books left to read from the list. She expects to complete them sometime in 2024. She wishes she could thank Mrs. Clark and share with her teacher how reading the works on her list has changed her life. “It was never just a list I got from some teacher in school, ”says Steph. “It’s always been Mrs. Clark’s Book List.”
4. What does the underlined word “nomadic” mean in paragraph1
A. Alarming. B. Homeless. C. Demanding. D. Ordinary
5. Why did Mrs. Clark hand out the book list
A. She wanted to keep it as a reminder.
B. She announced the book list as homework
C. She believed students could learn through reading.
D. She expected her students to go on higher education.
6. What can we know about Steph
A. She is only addicted to subject matter and history.
B. All the books on the list are not understandable to her.
C. Books on the list have all been finished reading by her.
D. She has spent all the years reading books just on the list.
7. What is a suitable title for the text

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述斯蒂芬·怀特家境窘迫，无法实现上大学的愿望。高中英语老师克拉克知道班上的孩子大多数高中毕业后都不会继续上大学，于是给大家开了一份书单，她希望大家慢慢把这些书看完，以弥补不能接受高等教育的人生缺憾。斯蒂芬决定按照老师开的书单顺序，一本一本读那些书。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“…because her mother, who divorced and remarried several times, was always on the move.”（因为她的母亲总是在四处奔波，她的母亲离婚又再婚了好几次。）可知，斯蒂芬·怀特从小就没过过稳定的生活，跟着母亲颠沛流离，故可此处划线单词nomadic为“不安定的，流浪的”的意思，和B项Homeless“无家可归的，流浪的”意思相近。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“It wasn’t homework, the teacher announced, but it could be a road map. “Some of you might not go on to higher education,” Mrs. Clark said, “but you can continue to learn.””（这不是家庭作业，老师宣布，但它可能是一个路线图。“你们中的一些人可能无法继续接受高等教育，”克拉克夫人说，“但你们可以继续学习。”）可推知，克拉克夫人分发书单是因为她相信学生可以通过阅读来学习。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Steph had always read for pleasure—magazines, mysteries, and romance novels. Now she would add Mrs. Clark’s suggestions to the mix. Each of those books drove her to learn more about the person, subject matter, or time in history. That made her look for other books that weren’t on the list, hoping to deepen her knowledge.”（斯蒂芬总是阅读娱乐杂志、推理小说和爱情小说。现在她要把克拉克太太的建议加进去。每一本书都驱使她更多地了解历史上的人物、主题或时代。这促使她寻找其他不在清单上的书，希望加深她的知识。）以及最后一段中“Now Steph is 70 and she never did get to college. But she has only four books left to read from the list. She expects to complete them sometime in 2024.”（现在斯蒂芬70岁了，她没有上过大学。但她只剩下四本书要读了。她希望在2024年的某个时候完成。）可知，关于斯蒂芬我们知道她多年来一直在读清单上的书。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Now Steph is 70 and she never did get to college. But she has only four books left to read from the list. She expects to complete them sometime in 2024. She wishes she could thank Mrs. Clark and share with her teacher how reading the works on her list has changed her life. “It was never just a list I got from some teacher in school, ”says Steph. “It’s always been Mrs. Clark’s Book List.””（现在斯蒂芬70岁了，她没有上过大学。但她只剩下四本书要读了。她希望在2024年的某个时候完成。她希望她能感谢克拉克夫人，并与她的老师分享阅读清单上的作品如何改变了她的生活。“这绝不仅仅是我从学校老师那里得到的一张清单，”斯蒂芬说。“一直都是克拉克夫人的书单。”）可知，文章主要讲的是斯蒂芬·怀特家境窘迫，无法实现上大学的愿望。高中英语老师 克拉克知道班上的孩子大多数高中毕业后都不会继续上大学，于是给大家开了一份书单，她希望大家慢慢把这些书看完，以弥补不能接受高等教育的人生缺憾。斯蒂芬决定按照老师开的书单顺序，一本一本读那些书。故文章最好的标题是“她没有上大学，而是读了这些书”。故选D项。
C
Pocket gophers (囊鼠) spend most of their lifetime alone, digging underground. Although they’re common across North and Central American grasslands, you’re unlikely to see one—their presence is usually only noticeable thanks to the piles of sandy soil they leave behind reaching more than 500 feet, usually about 50 inches below the ground.
Gophers were thought to feed themselves mainly by eating the roots (根) they meet while building new tunnel systems. Yet, digging tunnels is energetically costly and researchers show that only eating the roots just doesn’t make up for the energy spent.
To understand how else these animals get enough roots to survive, Francis Putz, a professor at the University of Florida, and the student researcher Veronica Selden looked at the behavior of gophers in northern Florida. They observed that, in the dark and wet tunnels the gophers had dug, new and soft roots grew fast.
The gophers seem to be actively looking after the roots like farmers, the scientists say. They create the perfect wet environment for roots and causing soil aeration (透气) by loosening the ground in which plants grow in the first place. Importantly, the gophers spread waste throughout the tunnels, which makes the roots grow more successfully. This is rather unlike other gopher species, which tend to have fixed waste areas.
The study found that the gophers’ daily harvest of root crops can supply from 21 to 62 percent of their calorie needs. “They have these long tunnels that cannot be explained,” Putz says. So why do it If it’s not to “farm food”, he says, “I can’t think of any other reason.”
But some researchers wonder if “farming” is a right term for the gophers’ activities. “To describe the activity as farming seems to be overstated,” says scientist Kimberly Asmus Hersey. “I don’t see this as all that different from many other plant and plant-eating animal relationships.”
8. What can be learned about the species of gophers
A. They exist all across America. B. They are highly social animals.
C. They mainly live underground. D. They dig tunnels 500 feet deep.
9. What do the researchers say about the roots gophers meet while digging
A. They are as hard as rocks for gophers to eat.
B. They make digging work more effort-taking.
C. They are perfect home locations for gophers.
D. They cannot meet gophers’ needs for energy.
10. What did the researchers find out about the gophers in Florida
A. They prefer building tunnels in dry conditions.
B. They try to make their tunnels as deep as possible.
C. They create a perfect environment for roots to grow.
D. They usually have fixed waste areas in their tunnels
11. What is Hersey’s attitude to Putz’s conclusion on gophers’ behavior
A. She disagrees with it. B. She is curious about it.
C. She thinks highly of it. D. She is unconcerned about it.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们认为囊鼠主要通过吃它们在建造新地道系统时遇到的树根来喂养自己。然而，挖掘地道的能量成本很高，研究人员表明，只吃树根并不能弥补所消耗的能量。为了了解这些动物是如何获得足够的根来生存的，佛罗里达大学教授弗朗西斯·普茨(Francis Putz)和学生研究员维罗妮卡·塞尔登(Veronica Selden)研究了佛罗里达州北部囊鼠的行为。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Although they’re common across North and Central American grasslands, you’re unlikely to see one—their presence is usually only noticeable thanks to the piles of sandy soil they leave behind reaching more than 500 feet, usually about 50 inches below the ground.”（尽管它们在北美和中美洲的草原上很常见，但你不太可能看到它们的存在，因为它们留下的沙土高达500多英尺，通常在地下50英寸。）可知，关于囊鼠，我们可以了解到它们主要生活在地下。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Gophers were thought to feed themselves mainly by eating the roots (根)they meet while building new tunnel systems. Yet, digging tunnels is energetically costly and researchers show that only eating the roots just doesn’t make up for the energy spent.”（人们认为囊鼠主要通过吃它们在建造新地道系统时遇到的树根来喂养自己。然而，挖掘地道的能量成本很高，研究人员表明，只吃树根并不能弥补所消耗的能量。）可知，研究人员认为囊鼠在挖掘时遇到的根不能满足囊鼠对能量的需求。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“This is rather unlike other gopher species, which tend to have fixed waste areas.”（这与其他种类的囊鼠不同，它们往往有固定的废物区域。）可知，关于佛罗里达州的囊鼠，研究人员发现了它们通常在地道里有固定的废物区。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““To describe the activity as farming seems to be overstated,” says scientist Kimberly Asmus Hersey. “I don’t see this as all that different from many other plant and plant-eating animal relationships.””（科学家金伯利·阿斯马斯·赫西说：“把这种活动描述为农业似乎言过其实了。”“我不认为这与许多其他植物和食草动物的关系有什么不同。”）可推知，赫西对普茨关于囊鼠行为的结论持反对的态度。故选A项。
D
We usually think of archaeology as lots of painstaking work by brave explorers. But today, long-hidden cities are being revealed (显露) from the air, where modern archaeologists use laser pulses (激光脉冲) to discover the sign of ancient life buried below thick surface.
Lidar, short for “light detection and ranging”, needs directing rapid laser pulses at the ground from an airplane. Software catches the time and wavelength of the pulses reflected from the surface and connects it with GPS and other data to produce a precise 3D map of the landscape below.
In recent years, lidar exposed an ancient city in western Mexico called Angamuco. The discovery of this long-lost Mexican metropolis (大都) is especially meaningful.
“To think that this large city existed in the heartland of Mexico for all this time and nobody knew it was there is kind of amazing,” says Chris Fisher, an archaeologist at Colorado State University who led the expedition.
The city extended over ten square miles. “That is a huge area with a lot of people,” says Fisher. “You are talking about 40. 000 building foundations, which is about the same number of building foundations that are on the island of Manhattan.” Archaeologists were surprised when they saw Angamuco’s city plan. The monuments (纪念碑) were largely concentrated in eight zones around the edges rather than being located in one large center.
Archacologists discovered signs of the buried city in 2007 and attempted to explore it using a traditional way. But the team soon realized that it would take at least ten years to outline the whole metropolis. In 2011, they began using lidar to map nearly 14 square miles. Researchers now believe that more than 100. 000 people lived in Angamuco from about AD 1000 to AD 1350. That makes it the biggest city in western Mexico at the time or at least the biggest city we know about so far.
“Everywhere you point the lidar instrument, you find something new.” says Fisher. “Right now. every textbook has to be rewritten. and two years from now. they’re going to have to be rewritten again.”
12. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A textbook B. A magazine C. A guidebook D. A diary.
13. How does lidar work to reveal buried ancient life
A. By producing a precise 3D landscape. B. By connecting laser pulses with software
C. By catching images of the ground surface D. By detecting the ground with laser pulses.
14. What can we know about Angamuco
A. It existed in Mexico for a short time. B. It covered an area as large as Manhattan.
C. It had monuments located in the city center. D. It was a metropolis with a large population.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Lidar uses light waves to peel back the layers of time.
B. A Mexico city is unearthed and presented to the world.
C. Laser pulses show fascinating facts about modern cities.
D. Archacologists uncover ancient cities to rewrite textbooks.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】

Steph White always intended to go to college. But life always throws blocks in the way. Growing up, she led a nomadic life because her mother, who divorced and remarried several times, was always on the move. Still, she had good grades and considered herself college bound. But when her stepfather died, leaving her mother to support three daughters on a low income, paying for college became out of the question.
Steph worked and tried to find out what to do with a life that had departed from the plan she’d carefully made. The answer came one afternoon when she was cleaning her bedroom closet. Steph noticed a thick folder in which she found two pages from the English teacher she’d had in junior year, Dorothy Clark. One afternoon, Mrs Clark walked into the classroom carrying papers titled “Mrs. Clark’s Book List.” It wasn’t homework, the teacher announced, but it could be a road map. “Some of you might not go on to higher education,” Mrs. Clark said, “but you can continue to learn.”
Steph had always read for pleasure—magazines, mysteries, and romance novels. Now she would add Mrs. Clark’s suggestions to the mix. Each of those books drove her to learn more about the person, subject matter, or time in history. That made her look for other books that weren’t on the list, hoping to deepen her knowledge. Her least favorite: Karl Marx’s critique of capitalism, Capital. Her critique: “Reading it was like working on a difficult math problem.”
Now Steph is 70 and she never did get to college. But she has only four books left to read from the list. She expects to complete them sometime in 2024. She wishes she could thank Mrs. Clark and share with her teacher how reading the works on her list has changed her life. “It was never just a list I got from some teacher in school, ”says Steph. “It’s always been Mrs. Clark’s Book List.”

Pocket gophers (囊鼠) spend most of their lifetime alone, digging underground. Although they’re common across North and Central American grasslands, you’re unlikely to see one—their presence is usually only noticeable thanks to the piles of sandy soil they leave behind reaching more than 500 feet, usually about 50 inches below the ground.
Gophers were thought to feed themselves mainly by eating the roots (根) they meet while building new tunnel systems. Yet, digging tunnels is energetically costly and researchers show that only eating the roots just doesn’t make up for the energy spent.
To understand how else these animals get enough roots to survive, Francis Putz, a professor at the University of Florida, and the student researcher Veronica Selden looked at the behavior of gophers in northern Florida. They observed that, in the dark and wet tunnels the gophers had dug, new and soft roots grew fast.
The gophers seem to be actively looking after the roots like farmers, the scientists say. They create the perfect wet environment for roots and causing soil aeration (透气) by loosening the ground in which plants grow in the first place. Importantly, the gophers spread waste throughout the tunnels, which makes the roots grow more successfully. This is rather unlike other gopher species, which tend to have fixed waste areas.
The study found that the gophers’ daily harvest of root crops can supply from 21 to 62 percent of their calorie needs. “They have these long tunnels that cannot be explained,” Putz says. So why do it If it’s not to “farm food”, he says, “I can’t think of any other reason.”
But some researchers wonder if “farming” is a right term for the gophers’ activities. “To describe the activity as farming seems to be overstated,” says scientist Kimberly Asmus Hersey. “I don’t see this as all that different from many other plant and plant-eating animal relationships.”
8. What can be learned about the species of gophers
A. They exist all across America. B. They are highly social animals.
C. They mainly live underground. D. They dig tunnels 500 feet deep.
9. What do the researchers say about the roots gophers meet while digging
A. They are as hard as rocks for gophers to eat.
B. They make digging work more effort-taking.
C. They are perfect home locations for gophers.
D. They cannot meet gophers’ needs for energy.
10. What did the researchers find out about the gophers in Florida
A. They prefer building tunnels in dry conditions.
B. They try to make their tunnels as deep as possible.
C. They create a perfect environment for roots to grow.
D. They usually have fixed waste areas in their tunnels
11. What is Hersey’s attitude to Putz’s conclusion on gophers’ behavior
A. She disagrees with it. B. She is curious about it.
C. She thinks highly of it. D. She is unconcerned about it.
D
We usually think of archaeology as lots of painstaking work by brave explorers. But today, long-hidden cities are being revealed (显露) from the air, where modern archaeologists use laser pulses (激光脉冲) to discover the sign of ancient life buried below thick surface.
Lidar, short for “light detection and ranging”, needs directing rapid laser pulses at the ground from an airplane. Software catches the time and wavelength of the pulses reflected from the surface and connects it with GPS and other data to produce a precise 3D map of the landscape below.
In recent years, lidar exposed an ancient city in western Mexico called Angamuco. The discovery of this long-lost Mexican metropolis (大都) is especially meaningful.
“To think that this large city existed in the heartland of Mexico for all this time and nobody knew it was there is kind of amazing,” says Chris Fisher, an archaeologist at Colorado State University who led the expedition.
The city extended over ten square miles. “That is a huge area with a lot of people,” says Fisher. “You are talking about 40. 000 building foundations, which is about the same number of building foundations that are on the island of Manhattan.” Archaeologists were surprised when they saw Angamuco’s city plan. The monuments (纪念碑) were largely concentrated in eight zones around the edges rather than being located in one large center.
Archacologists discovered signs of the buried city in 2007 and attempted to explore it using a traditional way. But the team soon realized that it would take at least ten years to outline the whole metropolis. In 2011, they began using lidar to map nearly 14 square miles. Researchers now believe that more than 100. 000 people lived in Angamuco from about AD 1000 to AD 1350. That makes it the biggest city in western Mexico at the time or at least the biggest city we know about so far.
“Everywhere you point the lidar instrument, you find something new.” says Fisher. “Right now. every textbook has to be rewritten. and two years from now. they’re going to have to be rewritten again.”
12. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A textbook B. A magazine C. A guidebook D. A diary.
13. How does lidar work to reveal buried ancient life
A. By producing a precise 3D landscape. B. By connecting laser pulses with software
C. By catching images of the ground surface D. By detecting the ground with laser pulses.
14. What can we know about Angamuco
A. It existed in Mexico for a short time. B. It covered an area as large as Manhattan.
C. It had monuments located in the city center. D. It was a metropolis with a large population.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Lidar uses light waves to peel back the layers of time.
B. A Mexico city is unearthed and presented to the world.
C. Laser pulses show fascinating facts about modern cities.
D. Archacologists uncover ancient cities to rewrite textbooks.
