【实用解题妙招】
一、设问方式
1. What can be a suitable title for the text
2. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
3. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from
二、记叙文标题三大特点
1. 概括性：语言高度凝练而形式简短
2. 针对性：标题外延与文章内容相符
3. 醒目性：能够激发读者的阅读欲望
三、记叙文选标题三大方法
1. 主题句法
记叙文一般没有明显的主题句，需要根据文中叙述的内容和线索来概括文章大意，但是如果文章末段出现说理性的句子，则这个句子为主题句。
2. 关键词法
全文中无明显主题句时，我们可以利用文章中的关键词。任何一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即关键词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。
3. 逆向思维法
在两个选项看上去都十分正确无法选择时，试着从选项出发，想象一下如果自己以此选项来写文章会有哪些内容，然后把它与文章的内容比较，逐一排除，缩小范围，接近的即为正确选项。
三、记叙文选标题三大策略
1.正面肯定法
在理解文章主旨的基础上，揣摩哪个选项能准确概括主旨。
2.反面否定法
撇开原文，拿各个备选项去尝试用它们写出来的“文章”将是什么内容，然后和原文对照，一一排除荒谬者。
3.排除干扰法
研究干扰项里面的中心词、修饰词的变化、结构、新奇性、概括力等。文章的标题应该新颖奇特，易激发读者的好奇心，吸引读者注意力。
【高考真题再练】
1.（2023 新高考II卷 B篇）27题
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
24. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
25. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
26. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Abby Jaramillo等老师在低收入学校发起的培养学生科学能力，环保意识以及健康生活方式的Urban Sprouts花园项目，让学生通过体验乡村生活，对学生影响深远。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段的“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.(起初是这样的，艾比·哈拉米洛说，她和另一位老师在四所低收入学校启动了“Urban Sprouts”学校花园项目。)”可知，艾比·哈拉米洛是Urban Sprouts的发起者。故选D。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段的“she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.(她说。“他们来找我们，认为蔬菜很可怕，泥土很可怕，昆虫也很可怕。”虽然有些人一开始害怕昆虫，对泥土感到厌烦，但大多数人都渴望尝试新的东西。)”可知，项目之初，一些学生不喜欢园艺工作。故选C。
26.推理判断题。根据最后一段“She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”(她补充说，该计划的好处不仅仅是营养。有些学生对园艺非常感兴趣，他们带回家种子开始自己的菜园。此外，在花园里工作似乎对Jaramillo的特殊教育学生有镇静作用，他们中的许多人都有情绪控制问题。“他们走了出去，”她说，“他们觉得成功。”)”可知，这个项目不仅给学生提供了有营养的食物，而且许多学生回家开创了自己的菜园，对有情绪控制问题的学生也起到了镇静作用，从而推知，该项目的影响是深远的。故选A。
27.主旨大意题。根据第一段的“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.(起初是这样的，艾比·哈拉米洛说，她和另一位老师在四所低收入学校启动了“Urban Sprouts”学校花园项目。该项目旨在帮助学生培养科学技能、环保意识和健康的生活方式。)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Abby Jaramillo等老师在低收入学校发起的培养学生科学能力，环保意识以及健康生活方式的Urban Sprouts花园项目，让学生体验乡村生活，对学生影响深远。因此推断B项“体验乡村生活”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选B。
2.（2021 浙江卷 B篇）27题
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself "marketing director for Nature". He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference," David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
24. What is the problem with the author’s children
A. They often annoy the neighbours.
B. They are tired of doing their homework.
C. They have no friends to play with.
D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
25. How did David Bond advocate his idea
A. By making a documentary film.
B. By organizing outdoor activities.
C. By advertising in London media.
D. By creating a network of friends.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2
A. records B. predicts C. delays D. confirms
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Let Children Have Fun
B. Young Children Need More Free Time
C. Market Nature to Children
D. David Bond: A Role Model for Children
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. C
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了电影制作人David Bond为了让孩子们远离屏幕，拍摄自己的旅行，并将自然当作一个品牌，推销给年轻人。
24. D。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. (然而，我的孩子们放学后想做的是拿起一个屏幕——任何屏幕——盯着它看几个小时)”可知，作者的孩子在屏幕前呆的时间太长了。故选D。
25. A。细节理解题。根据第二段“He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marked to young people. (他记录了他的旅程，他开始把大自然当作一个品牌，让年轻人看到)”可知，David Bond通过拍一个纪录片宣传他的想法。故选A。
26．A。词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“a film”可知，本句主语是一部电影，下文“the birth of the World Network (世界网络的诞生)”解释了这部电影的主旨。由此推知，划线词charts意为“记录、描绘”，与“records”意思一致。故选A。
27. C。主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the World Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature. (他把自己的旅行记录下来，开始把自然当作一个品牌，推销给年轻人。其结果是Project Wild Thing，一部记录了World Network (世界网络)诞生的电影，World Network (世界网络)是以让孩子们接触大自然为共同目标的团体)”可推知，本文主要讲述了电影制作人David Bond为了让孩子们远离屏幕，拍摄自己的旅行，并将自然当作一个品牌，推销给年轻人。由此可知，C项Market Nature to Children(把自然推销给年轻人)适合作本文标题。故选C。
3.（2020 北京卷 C篇）41题
For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript (手稿) consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious (神秘) as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen(工匠) who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug- resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science--then called “the new philosophy” --took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering(修补), as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
38. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript
A. Confused about the technical terms.
B. Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C. Discouraged by its complex structure.
D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
39. According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to ___________.
A. restore old workshops
B. understand the craftsmen
C. improve visual effects
D. inspire the philosophers
40. Why does the author mention museums
A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.
B. To present the findings of old science.
C. To highlight the importance of antiques.
D. To emphasise the values of hand skills.
41. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists
B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists
D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
【答案】38. D 39. B 40. D 41. C
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述科学家Paula Smith致力于对古代手工技能的研究，认为科学家如果能够把古代的手工技能和现代的科学方法结合起来，就能够创造更大成就。
38.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.” 让史密斯震惊主要是，她并没有真正掌握作者所描述的任何技能。她说:“你根本无法通过阅读来了解这些手工作品。” 由此可知读完这份法国手稿，这种手工技能让史密斯感到震惊，故选D。
39.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, ” 重建几个世纪前工匠的作品，可以揭示他们如何看待世界，他们的家里有什么物件。由此可知，重建工作主要是为了了解工匠。故选B。
40.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down.” 史密斯说，这项工作也给博物馆带来了深刻的见解。为了保存它，一个人必须知道一件物品是如何制成的。更重要的是，重建可能是唯一的方法，以了解宝藏磨损之前的样子。因此可知，博物馆要想很好保存物品，必须要知道这件物品是如何制成的，也是在强调手工技能的价值，故选D。
41.主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. ”史密斯说，如果我们能重新发现实践经验和工艺的价值，我们就能将现代的最好见解与我们祖先的灵巧结合起来。由此可知本文的中心思想就在于如果科学家能把古代的手工技巧同现代的理论结合起来，就能够获得更多的成就。C选项Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists工艺造就了更好的科学家，符合文章主题，适合做标题，故选C。
【点睛】标题猜测题。属于主旨大意题的一种，标题应位于文章之首，概括文章内容，点明文章主题。它可以是单词，短语，或句子。确定文章标题，第一，标题要与主题密切相关；其次，看标题是否能概括全文内容，不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节；第三，标题范围不应太大或太小；最后，标题应新颖，概括性强并且精炼。小题4中C选项概括文中主旨大意，与主题密切相关，故选C。

（23·24高三上·河南郑州·期中）Growing up, Danielle Belleny was “always outdoorsplaying with plants and picking up insects and investigating the world on my own,” she told TIME for Kids. She hadn’t yet heard of wildlife biology, but that’s what she was learning about. “I wanted to be a veterinarian(兽医), at first,”she says.“I always knew I wanted to work with animals. That was the only job I knew where you could do that.” But when Belleny was in college, her dad mentioned wildlife biology as an alternative.
Later, Belleny started working on research projects. She spent a lot of time with animals in their natural environment. One project was about placing trackers on a bird called the northern bobwhite. For another, she spent time herding goats. It was a way to maintain a grass habitat for endangered box turtles without hurting them.
Belleny’s current job is at Plateau Land & Wildlife Management, in Hays County, Texas. “In the morning, I’m usually out the door by sunrise,” she says. She surveys birds. She keeps track of different species. And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing. “It’s basically knowing how to read the landscape,” she says, “based on what plants and different characteristics are there.”
Around lunchtime, she’ll return home and write up a report. In the afternoon, she leaves for another site visit. Landowners can request her services. She advises people on how to accommodate the wildlife that lives on their property. “It’s a lot of meeting new people, a lot of quick introductions, and then talking for long periods of time.
Outside of work, Belleny has been birding, or bird-watching, for seven years. Her first book, This Is a Book for People Who Love Birds, was published in May. It allowed her to share her love of the activity. Now she’s working on a children’s book about birding. It’s scheduled to come out in fall 2023.
Belleny has some advice for young people who are thinking about careers. “Try everything you’re interested in. And if you’re interested in working with animals, go to a library and find some field guides.” There’s a lot of information about animals out there. Books are always a good place to start.

（23·24高三上·四川绵阳·阶段练习）Mom and I were putting the finishing touches on dinner, and my little niece Jessica came in to set the table. Instead of going to the dish cabinet, she went into the pantry where there was a stack of old, mismatched dinner plates on the bottom shelf.
When she had set all six plates, she stood back and sighed, “Oh, Grandma, your plates are so beautiful. Ours are all alike!” We had a good laugh at her innocent remark, but as I think back to all those years ago, I believe she was right. Those plates were beautiful.
Mom worked for the local Council on Aging as a housekeeper. She did many of the little things that allowed elderly people to stay in their own homes. Most of her clients got Meals on Wheels, a service in the 1970s. They received a hot lunch and a cold snack to have later in the evening. This is really not very much food. Every evening Mom would make to-go meals on these mismatched plates covered with aluminum foil, and then deliver them to the people who she knew didn’t get enough to eat.
This was about ten years before microwave ovens became common, so it was important that the food be on a plate that could be reheated in a regular oven. Instead of a cold sandwich and macaroni salad, Mom’s clients dined on Beef Manhattans, pan-fried chicken or meatloaf, along with veggies and a piece of pie or cake. Mom and Dad did this even after Mom left her job, and Mom continued after Dad’s death until all her former clients had either passed away or moved out.
When I was cleaning our Mom’s house after her death, I kept one as a souvenir. That plate is a sweet reminder of the lessons of generosity and caring for one’s neighbor that were modeled for me by my parents.
5．Why did the author think those plates beautiful
A．They were mismatched.
B．They were little Jessica’s pride.
C．They were symbols of the parents’ kindness.
D．They were collected from different places.
6．What did the author’s mother do to earn a living in the 1970s
A．Deliver food to houses. B．Run Meals on Wheels.
C．Do housework for the old. D．Be a housewife.
7．Why did the author’s mother make to-go meals
A．Because it was her job.
B．Because she was good at cooking.
C．Because she wanted to help beyond her duty.
D．Because her family didn’t have enough to eat.
8．What is the best title for the text
A．Plates of Sympathy B．A Kind-hearted Mother
C．A Precious Souvenir D．Services for the Senior
【答案】5．C 6．C 7．C 8．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要记述了妈妈在当地老龄问题委员会做管家时发生的点滴小事。
5．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That plate is a sweet reminder of the lessons of generosity and caring for one’s neighbor that were modeled for me by my parents.(那个盘子甜蜜地提醒着我，我的父母为我树立了慷慨和关心邻居的榜样。)”可知，这个盘子是父母善良的象征，所以它们很美。故选C。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Mom worked for the local Council on Aging as a housekeeper. She did many of the little things that allowed elderly people to stay in their own homes. Most of her clients got Meals on Wheels, a service in the 1970s.(妈妈在当地的老龄问题委员会做管家。她做了许多小事，使老年人能够住在自己的家里。她的大多数客户都得到了上世纪70年代的上门送餐服务。)”可知，作者的母亲在20世纪70年代靠为老人做家务谋生。故选C。
7．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Every evening Mom would make to-go meals on these mismatched plates covered with aluminum foil, and then deliver them to the people who she knew didn’t get enough to eat.(每天晚上，妈妈都会用这些用铝箔盖着的不匹配的盘子做外带饭菜，然后把它们送到她所知道的那些吃不饱的人那里。)”可知，作者的母亲之所以做外卖，是她想在她的职责之外给人提供帮助。故选C。
8．主旨大意题，根据最后一段“When I was cleaning our Mom’s house after her death, I kept one as a souvenir.

（23·24高三上·湖北·阶段练习）Moving to a new city and state was difficult for me, especially in winter. Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.
I just missed home. But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best friend. And I missed our lovely tea. Going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered a special treat for us. The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood. Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party. We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. That was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones (煎饼) and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.
Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart. But I still fought loneliness almost every day. I decided to explore the Denver area. While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new area had to offer.
One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words “Tea Leaves” caught my eye. A tea room Here, in the land of loneliness and pain
I walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes. It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and lovely. I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones. It felt silly and wonderful—and it felt like home. For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be, my home. I would come back here and bring new friends. When Stacey visited, we would come here.
I lifted my cup and made a silent toast. I toasted Stacey, whom I missed, and I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain.

D．want to actively adapt to the new environment
12．What would be the best title for the passage

C．A Difficult Settlement D．A Friend in Need Is A Friend Indeed
【答案】9．C 10．A 11．D 12．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者因为从海边一个城市搬到一个新的城市，开始极其不适应，想念家乡的一切，但作者还是努力的去适应新的环境，终于有一天，当他发现一个“Tea Leaves”的地方，为之深受触动，从而开始融入这个新的城市的故事。
9．词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. (这是个维多利亚梦，有着精致的茶杯，和带有印花图案的桌布。)”可知，对于爱茶的“我”来说，是令人愉快的一些东西。故正确答案为C。
10．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words “Tea Leaves” caught my eye. A tea room Here, in the land of loneliness and pain ( 有一天，我正走在街上，突然“茶叶”两个字吸引了我的目光。茶室 在这片孤独和痛苦的土地上 )”可知，Tea Leaves让“我”想到孤独和伤痛，深深触动了“我”。故正确答案为A。
11．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be, my home. (我觉得这个新的城市和州可能会成为我的家。)”可知，作者想要积极适应这个新的城市和州。故正确答案为D。
12．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段第二句中“I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain. (我烤了烤甜蜜的小茶室，这减轻了我的痛苦。)”可知，甜蜜的小茶室缓解了“我”心中的痛苦。文章主要讲述了茶缓解了“我”搬家到新地方后的孤独和痛苦。B项“A Cup of Comfort (一杯安慰)”，指的是一杯缓和痛苦的茶，符合文意。故正确答案为B。
（23·24高三上·浙江宁波·期中）From captured servant boy to influential world explorer, Zheng He overcame the odds through his hard work and leadership. Born into a Muslim family, Zheng He, or Ma He as he was then known, dreamed of going to the holy city of Mecca. When the Ming Army invaded his town and captured him to work as a servant in the royal palace, he must have thought his dreams of travelling were over. However, he tried to make the best of his situation by making friends in high places and learning as much as he could about warfare, ships, and weapons. He soon became a trusted member of the court (朝廷). He was promoted to a senior officer and given the reward of a new name: Zheng He.
Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yongle, was keen for China to explore overseas to extend the country’s influence and to trade goods. He built the Treasure Fleet, a large group of ships and vessels. He ordered Zheng He to lead the fleet and represent the Chinese imperial court. In July 1405, Zheng He set sail on his first voyage with a fleet of 317 vessels that carried 28,000 men. Around a quarter of the ships were “treasure ships”, which held the luxurious gifts they had traded for, such as spices. They sailed to Vietnam, then Java (Indonesia), the Spice Islands (Malaysia), and Cochin (India).
Over the next 30 years, Zheng He led six more voyages with huge fleets, sailing all the way to Arabia and Africa. They visited royal families and built relations with foreign rulers. Zheng He traded goods like gold, silver, and silk for foreign offerings that people in China had never seen before, such as ivory. One African ruler even gave him a giraffe and a zebra! Zheng He died on his final voyage and was buried at sea. His voyages widened China’s influence on the world. However, when the emperor died, all explorations were stopped. Some people have claimed that Zheng He created one of the first maps of the world, but this has been widely doubted by historians.
13．Why did Zheng He dream of travelling in his boyhood
A．He wanted to extend the country’s influence.
B．He was captured to work as a servant.
C．He longed to get to the holy city Mecca.
D．He took responsibility for trading goods.
14．What do we know about Zheng He’s voyages
A．Zheng He led six voyages with huge fleets in total.
B．Around 80 ships held expensive gifts on Zheng He’s first voyage.
C．Zheng He died on his final voyage and was honored by the emperor.
D．Zheng He traded goods like ivory for gold and silver.
15．Which of the following can best describe Zheng He
A．brave and ambitious B．curious and confident
C．warm-hearted and considerate D．social and selfless
16．Which would be the best title for this passage
A．Zheng He: a Chinese Explorer B．Zheng He: Extended China’s Influence
C．The Influential Ming Dynasty D．The Craze for Exploring the World
【答案】13．C 14．B 15．A 16．A

When the Ming Army invaded his town and captured him to work as a servant in the royal palace, he must have thought his dreams of travelling were over. (郑和出生在一个穆斯林家庭，他梦想着去圣城麦加。当明朝军队入侵他的城镇，把他抓到皇宫当仆人时，他一定认为自己的旅行梦想已经结束了)”可知，因为小时候郑和渴望着去圣城麦加，所以他就梦想着去旅行。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In July 1405, Zheng He set sail on his first voyage with a fleet of 317 vessels that carried 28,000 men.

(1405年7月，郑和率领317艘载有28000人的船队开始了他的第一次航行。大约四分之一的船只是“宝船”，里面装着他们交易来的奢侈礼物，比如香料)”可知，在郑和的第一次航行中，郑和率领了317艘船，大约四分之一的船上携带着奢侈的礼物。由此可知，大约有80艘船只携带了昂贵的礼物。故选B。
15．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Born into a Muslim family, Zheng He, or Ma He as he was then known, dreamed of going to the holy city of Mecca. (郑和出生在一个穆斯林家庭，他梦想着去圣城麦加)”以及全文可知，郑和从小就有着去圣城麦加的梦想，并且率领人们不畏艰险，进行了七次航行，一路航行到阿拉伯和非洲，说明他是一个勇敢且有抱负的人。故选A。

（23·24高三上·江苏无锡·期中）Another person’s enthusiasm — the strong wish and interest to do everything, was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right into my eyes. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, my family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county centre, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
17．What’s the following is right before the author’s stepmother came into his life

A．There were other boys who behaved as badly as he did.
B．His stepmother bought typewriters for other family members, too.
C．Not only he but also his family gained from his stepmother’s enthusiasm.
D．Other family members’ enthusiasm has great effects on his stepmother.
20．Which of the following is best the title of the passage
A．Enthusiasm, a Power for Success B．Enthusiasm, a Challenge for All
C．Enthusiasm, a Gift from my Father D．Enthusiasm, a Tradition in Families
【答案】17．D 18．B 19．C 20．A

18．细节理解题。根据第三段“Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”(然后她看着我父亲，回答说；“你错了。这根本不是最坏的孩子，而是最聪明的孩子，只是还没有找到释放自己热情的方法。”)”；倒数第二段“She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county centre, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.(她说服我父亲去了一所牙科学校，他以优异的成绩毕业。她把我们家搬到了县中心，在那里父亲的事业可能会更成功，我和哥哥可以接受更好的教育)”以及最后一段“When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer.(当我14岁时，她给我买了一台二手打字机，并告诉我她相信我能成为一名作家)”和“My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.(我父亲成了镇上最富有的人。我的兄弟和继兄弟分别当了医生、牙医、律师和大学校长)”可知，A选项“她从心底里表扬了他”、C选项“她把家搬到了县城的中心”以及D选项“她为每个家庭成员计划未来”文章都提到了，B选项没有提及，故B选项“她在家给他上了一些写作课”不正确。故选B。

（23·24高三上·福建龙岩·期中）Over the years, when a book has spoken to me with particular power, I have put pen to paper and sent word off to the author, communicating what their work meant to me.
It all started in my 18th year, when I was entertaining my own imaginations of success as a writer. I was full of high expectations, believing that becoming an author was simply a matter of putting my thoughts onto paper, sending the works to a publisher, and waiting for fame to come. Then came the great disappointment. I wrote to famous children’s author Lloyd Alexander, describing my fruitless yearlong effort at publication and asking him for direction. To my joy, he answered:
“Advice is always very easy to give-but very hard to make it specific and meaningful, since we all have to work in our own ways. When you mention that you’ve been writing for a year without being published, I hasten to tell you that I wrote seven times that long without being published! So, perhaps one piece of advice is: patience.”
I was encouraged by the idea that a well-regarded writer would take the time to offer a bit of advice to an overconfident teen. But Mr. Alexander was not a singular case. I continued to reach out to writers and, truth to tell, I didn’t always receive a reply. But when I did get one, the content was often filled with consideration and even, at times, affection (喜爱).
I think of the American poet William Stafford, who replied to me from Lake Oswego, Oregon. We actually had an ongoing correspondence (通信) for a while. I wrote to him asking if he would be so kind as to autograph (签名) one of his books for me. His reply brought an immediate smile to my face: “I am eagerly ready to autograph and return a book — it makes me feel like an author.”
21．What happened to the author when he was 18
A．He won fame as a young writer. B．He was forced to give up writing.
C．He met a famous children’s author. D．He failed to get his works published.
22．What advice did Lloyd Alexander offer to the author
A．Being independent of others. B．Making decisions without hesitation.
C．Keeping on trying and being patient. D．Regarding every piece of writing as meaningful.
23．What did the author think of William Stafford
A．He hated to reply to a letter. B．He was friendly and approachable.
C．He longed to be a successful writer. D．He was always ready to lend his books.
24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Writing to the Writers in My Life B．My Idea About Writing
C．Growing Up with Writing D．My Rise as a Writer
【答案】21．D 22．C 23．B 24．A

I was full of high expectations, believing that becoming an author was simply a matter of putting my thoughts onto paper, sending the works to a publisher, and waiting for fame to come. Then came the great disappointment. I wrote to famous children’s author Lloyd Alexander, describing my fruitless yearlong effort at publication and asking him for direction.(这一切都始于我18岁的时候，当时我正沉浸在自己作为一名作家成功的想象中。我充满了很高的期望，认为成为一名作家只是把我的想法写在纸上，把作品寄给出版商，然后等待名声的到来。然后是巨大的失望。我写信给著名儿童作家劳埃德·亚历山大(Lloyd Alexander)，描述了我为出版这本书所做的一年无果的努力，并向他寻求指导)”可知，作者18岁时的作品没能出版。故选D。
22．细节理解题。根据第三段“When you mention that you’ve been writing for a year without being published, I hasten to tell you that I wrote seven times that long without being published! So, perhaps one piece of advice is: Patience.(当你提到你已经写了一年没有发表，我赶紧告诉你，我写了七次都没有发表！所以，或许有一条建议是：耐心)”可知，劳埃德·亚历山大建议作者坚持尝试，保持耐心。故选C。
23．推理判断题。根据最后一段“We actually had an ongoing correspondence (通信) for a while. I wrote to him asking if he would be so kind as to autograph (签名) one of his books for me. His reply brought an immediate smile to my face: “I am eagerly ready to autograph and return a book — it makes me feel like an author.”(事实上，我们有一段时间一直保持通信联系。我写信给他，问他是否愿意为我在他的一本书上签名。他的回答立刻让我脸上露出了笑容:“我迫不及待地准备好签名并归还一本书——这让我觉得自己像个作家。”)”可知，作者认为威廉·斯塔福德很友好，平易近人。故选B。
24．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the years, when a book has spoken to me with particular power, I have put pen to paper and send word off to the author, communicating what their work meant to me.(多年来，当一本书对我产生了特殊的影响时，我就会动笔写信给作者，告诉他他们的作品对我意味着什么)”结合文章主要讲述作者在成为作家的路上，给一些著名的作家写信，他们的建议和反馈让作者受益良多，可知，A选项“给我生命中的作家写信”最符合文章标题。故选A。

（23·24高三上·广西梧州·期中）Daphne Soares, a biologist, made an amazing discovery about alligators (短吻鳄). The investigation of the sensory dots of alligators began when she was at university. Now she holds a research position at the University of Maryland.
The first time Daphne Soares got really close to an alligator was when she was helping to hold down an eight-foot alligator. When she got close to the alligator, she noticed that its face was covered with little black spots.
She started her study of the black dots when she went to the library. When she read the books and the scientific journals, she learned that people had noticed the dots. People thought that the dots were some kind of sense organ. However, no one really knew what the dots were for.
It was a complete accident when she found out what the dots were used for. She placed electrodes (电极) on nerves coming from some of the sensory dots. When the nerves were stimulated, they created a tiny electric current. Just then she heard a small sound over a audio speaker. She tried to see if the dots acted like eyes and temperature sensors, but nothing worked. One day she accidentally dropped a tool into an alligator’s tank. When she put her hand in the tank to get the tool out, she made small ripples (涟漪) in the water. When the ripples reached the alligator’s face, she heard a noise over the speaker. She then realized that the dots must be sensitive to the changes in pressure when they were hit by ripples of water.
After that, she is now studying blind cavefish. She is trying to learn whether they are blind from birth or lose their sight as they grow up.
33．What was Daphne Soares doing when she noticed the black dots
A．Studying the sense organ.
B．Helping to keep a hold of an alligator.
C．Observing an alligator in a pond.
D．Reading scientific journal in the library.
34．What did Daphne Soares do in order to find out the use of the black dots
A．She collected data online.
B．She did some field observations.
C．She sought help from professionals.
D．She did some scientific experiments.
35．Which sense are the black dots on the alligator’s face related to
A．The sense of feeling. B．The sense of sight.
C．The sense of taste. D．The sense of hearing.
36．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．A Born Biologist B．The Types of Alligators
C．A Discovery About Alligators D．Daphne Soares’ Stories
【答案】33．B 34．D 35．A 36．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Daphne Soares关于短吻鳄的一些研究发现以及发现过程。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段“The first time Daphne Soares got really close to an alligator was when she was helping to hold down an eight-foot alligator. When she got close to the alligator, she noticed that its face was covered with little black spots.(Daphne Soares第一次真正接近鳄鱼是在她帮忙按住一条8英尺长的鳄鱼的时候。当她靠近鳄鱼时，她注意到它的脸上布满了小黑点)”可知，Daphne Soares注意到那些黑点时在帮忙按住鳄鱼。故选B项。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She placed electrodes (电极) on nerves coming from some of the sensory dots. When the nerves were stimulated, they created a tiny electric current. Just then she heard a small sound over a audio speaker. She tried to see if the dots acted like eyes and temperature sensors, but nothing worked.(她将电极放置在来自一些感觉点的神经上。当神经受到刺激时，它们会产生微小的电流。就在这时，她听到扬声器里传来一个小小的声音。她试着看看这些点是否像眼睛和温度传感器一样，但都不起作用)”可推知，为了找出黑点的用途，Daphne Soares做了一些科学实验。故选D项。
35．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One day she accidentally dropped a tool into an alligator’s tank. When she put her hand in the tank to get the tool out, she made small ripples (涟漪) in the water. When the ripples reached the alligator’s face, she heard a noise over the speaker. She then realized that the dots must be sensitive to the changes in pressure when they were hit by ripples of water.(一天，她不小心把一个工具掉进了鳄鱼的水箱里。当她把手伸进水箱把工具拿出来时，她在水里激起了小涟漪。当涟漪到达鳄鱼的脸时，她听到扬声器里有声音。然后她意识到，当这些圆点受到水波纹的冲击时，它们一定对压力的变化很敏感)”可推知，这些黑点对压力的变化很敏感，所以与感觉感官有关。故选A项。
36．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Daphne Soares, a biologist, made an amazing discovery about alligators (短吻鳄). The investigation of the sensory dots of alligators began when she was at university. Now she holds a research position at the University of Maryland.(生物学家达芙妮·苏亚雷斯(Daphne Soares)有一个关于短吻鳄的惊人发现。对短吻鳄感官点的研究始于她上大学的时候。现在她在马里兰大学从事研究工作)”可知，本文主要讲述Daphne Soares关于短吻鳄的一些研究发现。由此可知，C项“A Discovery About Alligators(关于鳄鱼的一个发现)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。
（2024·四川绵阳·一模）During the 1930s, the Great War broke out. A 25-year-old American soldier, probably never thought that his life would change forever when he volunteered to go to France.
One night while the American unit was returning to the base after a bloody fight, Suleyman stumbled into the ground and noticed a bit of movement from the bush. Being stuck between two choices either its enemy or an animal, Suleyman found a five-year-old girl from the bushes shivering with cold and utmost fear. Due to the atrocity of the war, the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed.
During the war, it was impossible to find the child’s family so Suleyman took this little French girl under his wings and gave her an American name Flora which means like the flower. Soon, Flora became the apple of the eye of everyone living in the army camp.
For one and a half years, Flora and Suleyman became inseparable; however, every fairy tale comes to an end. When the war ended, Suleyman was sent back to USA, while Flora was put in an orphanage, the Normandy School, which was founded by the American government for orphaned French children to have an education.
For years, Suleyman always thought about Flora. When the French National Olympic Team was playing in the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, Suleyman gazed through the audience on TV, hoping to catch a glimpse of Flora, but he never could.
At the age of 85, Suleyman attended the 60th anniversary reception of the Great War where Suleyman shared his story with American and French officials. After hearing his story, a French journalist started to investigate the story, and all government files were read in detail. The moment the journalist helped dial the number, in tears, Flora said Suleyman was her hero, and everything came flooding back to her.
37．What does the underlined word “atrocity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Challenge. B．Cruelty. C．Range. D．Stress.
38．Why did Suleyman watch 1984 Summer Olympics
A．Because Flora might be in the French team.
B．Because Flora might be watching the event.
C．Because Suleyman was greatly interested in sports.
D．Because Suleyman wanted to travel to Los Angeles.
39．What can we learn from the passage
A．Suleyman found some enemies in the bush.
B．Suleyman saw Flora again with the help of officials.
C．Flora and Suleyman became attached to each other.
D．Flora was sent to an orphanage when she was found.

1.（2023 新高考II卷 B篇）27题
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
24. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
25. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
26. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life

We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself "marketing director for Nature". He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference," David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
24. What is the problem with the author’s children
A. They often annoy the neighbours.
B. They are tired of doing their homework.
C. They have no friends to play with.
D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
25. How did David Bond advocate his idea
A. By making a documentary film.
B. By organizing outdoor activities.
C. By advertising in London media.
D. By creating a network of friends.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2
A. records B. predicts C. delays D. confirms
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Let Children Have Fun
B. Young Children Need More Free Time
C. Market Nature to Children
D. David Bond: A Role Model for Children
3.（2020 北京卷 C篇）41题
For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript (手稿) consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious (神秘) as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen(工匠) who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug- resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science--then called “the new philosophy” --took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering(修补), as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
38. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript
A. Confused about the technical terms.
B. Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C. Discouraged by its complex structure.
D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
39. According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to ___________.
A. restore old workshops
B. understand the craftsmen
C. improve visual effects
D. inspire the philosophers
40. Why does the author mention museums
A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.
B. To present the findings of old science.
C. To highlight the importance of antiques.
D. To emphasise the values of hand skills.
41. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists
B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists
D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science

Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role – showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.
In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under 5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam, 14, Finn, 13, and Jack, 11.
“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,” she explains. “I pay 5 for a portion (一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”
The eight-part series (系列节目), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.
With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.

（23·24高三上·河南郑州·期中）Growing up, Danielle Belleny was “always outdoorsplaying with plants and picking up insects and investigating the world on my own,” she told TIME for Kids. She hadn’t yet heard of wildlife biology, but that’s what she was learning about. “I wanted to be a veterinarian(兽医), at first,”she says.“I always knew I wanted to work with animals. That was the only job I knew where you could do that.” But when Belleny was in college, her dad mentioned wildlife biology as an alternative.
Later, Belleny started working on research projects. She spent a lot of time with animals in their natural environment. One project was about placing trackers on a bird called the northern bobwhite. For another, she spent time herding goats. It was a way to maintain a grass habitat for endangered box turtles without hurting them.
Belleny’s current job is at Plateau Land & Wildlife Management, in Hays County, Texas. “In the morning, I’m usually out the door by sunrise,” she says. She surveys birds. She keeps track of different species. And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing. “It’s basically knowing how to read the landscape,” she says, “based on what plants and different characteristics are there.”
Around lunchtime, she’ll return home and write up a report. In the afternoon, she leaves for another site visit. Landowners can request her services. She advises people on how to accommodate the wildlife that lives on their property. “It’s a lot of meeting new people, a lot of quick introductions, and then talking for long periods of time.
Outside of work, Belleny has been birding, or bird-watching, for seven years. Her first book, This Is a Book for People Who Love Birds, was published in May. It allowed her to share her love of the activity. Now she’s working on a children’s book about birding. It’s scheduled to come out in fall 2023.
Belleny has some advice for young people who are thinking about careers. “Try everything you’re interested in. And if you’re interested in working with animals, go to a library and find some field guides.” There’s a lot of information about animals out there. Books are always a good place to start.
1．What is Danielle Belleny at present
A．A veterinarian B．A wildlife biologist
C．A zoo keeper D．A full-time writer
2．What does Belleny mainly do in her spare time
A．She keeps birds in her home
B．She teaches people to watch birds
C．She writes books about birds
D．She advises people to accommodate birds

C．Reading is essential for children D．Do what you like
4．What can be the suitable title for the text
A．Survey wildlife in the field B．Protect endangered species
C．Make researches on plants D．Help farmers with their crops
（23·24高三上·四川绵阳·阶段练习）Mom and I were putting the finishing touches on dinner, and my little niece Jessica came in to set the table. Instead of going to the dish cabinet, she went into the pantry where there was a stack of old, mismatched dinner plates on the bottom shelf.
When she had set all six plates, she stood back and sighed, “Oh, Grandma, your plates are so beautiful. Ours are all alike!” We had a good laugh at her innocent remark, but as I think back to all those years ago, I believe she was right. Those plates were beautiful.
Mom worked for the local Council on Aging as a housekeeper. She did many of the little things that allowed elderly people to stay in their own homes. Most of her clients got Meals on Wheels, a service in the 1970s. They received a hot lunch and a cold snack to have later in the evening. This is really not very much food. Every evening Mom would make to-go meals on these mismatched plates covered with aluminum foil, and then deliver them to the people who she knew didn’t get enough to eat.
This was about ten years before microwave ovens became common, so it was important that the food be on a plate that could be reheated in a regular oven. Instead of a cold sandwich and macaroni salad, Mom’s clients dined on Beef Manhattans, pan-fried chicken or meatloaf, along with veggies and a piece of pie or cake. Mom and Dad did this even after Mom left her job, and Mom continued after Dad’s death until all her former clients had either passed away or moved out.
When I was cleaning our Mom’s house after her death, I kept one as a souvenir. That plate is a sweet reminder of the lessons of generosity and caring for one’s neighbor that were modeled for me by my parents.
5．Why did the author think those plates beautiful
A．They were mismatched.
B．They were little Jessica’s pride.
C．They were symbols of the parents’ kindness.

A．Because it was her job.
B．Because she was good at cooking.
C．Because she wanted to help beyond her duty.
D．Because her family didn’t have enough to eat.
8．What is the best title for the text
A．Plates of Sympathy B．A Kind-hearted Mother
C．A Precious Souvenir D．Services for the Senior
（23·24高三上·湖北·阶段练习）Moving to a new city and state was difficult for me, especially in winter. Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.
I just missed home. But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best friend. And I missed our lovely tea. Going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered a special treat for us. The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood. Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party. We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. That was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones (煎饼) and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.
Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart. But I still fought loneliness almost every day. I decided to explore the Denver area. While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new area had to offer.
One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words “Tea Leaves” caught my eye. A tea room Here, in the land of loneliness and pain
I walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes. It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and lovely. I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones. It felt silly and wonderful—and it felt like home. For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be, my home. I would come back here and bring new friends. When Stacey visited, we would come here.
I lifted my cup and made a silent toast. I toasted Stacey, whom I missed, and I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain.

（23·24高三上·浙江宁波·期中）From captured servant boy to influential world explorer, Zheng He overcame the odds through his hard work and leadership. Born into a Muslim family, Zheng He, or Ma He as he was then known, dreamed of going to the holy city of Mecca. When the Ming Army invaded his town and captured him to work as a servant in the royal palace, he must have thought his dreams of travelling were over. However, he tried to make the best of his situation by making friends in high places and learning as much as he could about warfare, ships, and weapons. He soon became a trusted member of the court (朝廷). He was promoted to a senior officer and given the reward of a new name: Zheng He.
Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yongle, was keen for China to explore overseas to extend the country’s influence and to trade goods. He built the Treasure Fleet, a large group of ships and vessels. He ordered Zheng He to lead the fleet and represent the Chinese imperial court. In July 1405, Zheng He set sail on his first voyage with a fleet of 317 vessels that carried 28,000 men. Around a quarter of the ships were “treasure ships”, which held the luxurious gifts they had traded for, such as spices. They sailed to Vietnam, then Java (Indonesia), the Spice Islands (Malaysia), and Cochin (India).
Over the next 30 years, Zheng He led six more voyages with huge fleets, sailing all the way to Arabia and Africa. They visited royal families and built relations with foreign rulers. Zheng He traded goods like gold, silver, and silk for foreign offerings that people in China had never seen before, such as ivory. One African ruler even gave him a giraffe and a zebra! Zheng He died on his final voyage and was buried at sea. His voyages widened China’s influence on the world. However, when the emperor died, all explorations were stopped. Some people have claimed that Zheng He created one of the first maps of the world, but this has been widely doubted by historians.
13．Why did Zheng He dream of travelling in his boyhood
A．He wanted to extend the country’s influence.
B．He was captured to work as a servant.
C．He longed to get to the holy city Mecca.
D．He took responsibility for trading goods.
14．What do we know about Zheng He’s voyages
A．Zheng He led six voyages with huge fleets in total.
B．Around 80 ships held expensive gifts on Zheng He’s first voyage.
C．Zheng He died on his final voyage and was honored by the emperor.
D．Zheng He traded goods like ivory for gold and silver.
15．Which of the following can best describe Zheng He
A．brave and ambitious B．curious and confident
C．warm-hearted and considerate D．social and selfless
16．Which would be the best title for this passage
A．Zheng He: a Chinese Explorer B．Zheng He: Extended China’s Influence
C．The Influential Ming Dynasty D．The Craze for Exploring the World
（23·24高三上·江苏无锡·期中）Another person’s enthusiasm — the strong wish and interest to do everything, was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right into my eyes. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, my family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county centre, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives.

（23·24高三上·福建龙岩·期中）Over the years, when a book has spoken to me with particular power, I have put pen to paper and sent word off to the author, communicating what their work meant to me.
It all started in my 18th year, when I was entertaining my own imaginations of success as a writer. I was full of high expectations, believing that becoming an author was simply a matter of putting my thoughts onto paper, sending the works to a publisher, and waiting for fame to come. Then came the great disappointment. I wrote to famous children’s author Lloyd Alexander, describing my fruitless yearlong effort at publication and asking him for direction. To my joy, he answered:
“Advice is always very easy to give-but very hard to make it specific and meaningful, since we all have to work in our own ways. When you mention that you’ve been writing for a year without being published, I hasten to tell you that I wrote seven times that long without being published! So, perhaps one piece of advice is: patience.”
I was encouraged by the idea that a well-regarded writer would take the time to offer a bit of advice to an overconfident teen. But Mr. Alexander was not a singular case. I continued to reach out to writers and, truth to tell, I didn’t always receive a reply. But when I did get one, the content was often filled with consideration and even, at times, affection (喜爱).
I think of the American poet William Stafford, who replied to me from Lake Oswego, Oregon. We actually had an ongoing correspondence (通信) for a while. I wrote to him asking if he would be so kind as to autograph (签名) one of his books for me. His reply brought an immediate smile to my face: “I am eagerly ready to autograph and return a book — it makes me feel like an author.”
21．What happened to the author when he was 18
A．He won fame as a young writer. B．He was forced to give up writing.
C．He met a famous children’s author. D．He failed to get his works published.
22．What advice did Lloyd Alexander offer to the author
A．Being independent of others. B．Making decisions without hesitation.
C．Keeping on trying and being patient. D．Regarding every piece of writing as meaningful.
23．What did the author think of William Stafford
A．He hated to reply to a letter. B．He was friendly and approachable.
C．He longed to be a successful writer. D．He was always ready to lend his books.
24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Writing to the Writers in My Life B．My Idea About Writing

（23·24高三上·广西梧州·期中）Daphne Soares, a biologist, made an amazing discovery about alligators (短吻鳄). The investigation of the sensory dots of alligators began when she was at university. Now she holds a research position at the University of Maryland.
The first time Daphne Soares got really close to an alligator was when she was helping to hold down an eight-foot alligator. When she got close to the alligator, she noticed that its face was covered with little black spots.
She started her study of the black dots when she went to the library. When she read the books and the scientific journals, she learned that people had noticed the dots. People thought that the dots were some kind of sense organ. However, no one really knew what the dots were for.
It was a complete accident when she found out what the dots were used for. She placed electrodes (电极) on nerves coming from some of the sensory dots. When the nerves were stimulated, they created a tiny electric current. Just then she heard a small sound over a audio speaker. She tried to see if the dots acted like eyes and temperature sensors, but nothing worked. One day she accidentally dropped a tool into an alligator’s tank. When she put her hand in the tank to get the tool out, she made small ripples (涟漪) in the water. When the ripples reached the alligator’s face, she heard a noise over the speaker. She then realized that the dots must be sensitive to the changes in pressure when they were hit by ripples of water.
After that, she is now studying blind cavefish. She is trying to learn whether they are blind from birth or lose their sight as they grow up.

（23·24高三上·河南·期中）The 37-year-old artist, Kelly McKernan, from Nashville, Tennessee calls her works “surreal (超现实的)”. She says they are “dealing with discomfort in the human journey”. Living as an artist is difficult enough. Now McKernan faces another challenge: artificial intelligence (AI).
About a year ago, McKernan began seeing online images (图像) strangely similar to her own. She soon learned that companies were feeding artwork into AI systems to train software programs to create similar images. McKernan said, “I didn’t give my agreement for my name or works to be used this way.”
McKernan said she even tried to contact some of the companies to say “Hey, little artist here, I know you’re not thinking of me at all, but it would be really cool if you didn’t use my work like this.” But there was no answer.
In January, McKernan, and two other artists, Karla Ortiz and Sarah Andersen, started action by law against three image-generator companies: Stability AI, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney. They also included the online gallery DeviantArt in the case.
The artists are seeking to protect their copyrighted works and their careers. They say the AI image-generators violate (侵犯) the rights of millions of artists by using their artworks for training and then producing similar works that compete against the originals (原作). The artists are seeking damages and a court order to stop AI companies from using their works without being allowed.
Karla Ortiz works in the entertainment industry. Her work has been used in several well-known movies, including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Jurassic World. She feared that film companies would think artworks from artists cost too much. Why, she asked, would film companies buy artworks from artists if they can pay $30 a month for AI-created works

（22·23高三下·广东东莞·阶段练习）Sasha Masakowski remembers being six years old, seated at the piano next to her father — the well-known jazz guitarist, Steve Masakowski.
“He’d play harmonies in the background on the guitar, and he’d encourage me to improvise (即兴演奏),” Sasha recalls. “He’d tell me to play something using just the white keys or just the black keys, and I’d make up music.” She says she was a little composer playing along with her dad in their New Orleans home. “I love those memories,” she adds.
As Sasha got older, though, her interest in jazz began to flag. Sasha went to a local arts high school and focused on musical theater. Steve admits to hoping his daughter would develop a love for jazz.
The father’s expectation was eventually met when the daughter rediscovered jazz music. Sasha says she admired a guy in the jazz department and on the day they met, the first thing he said was, “I’m such a big fan of your dad’s!” She says the experience helped her realize that her father and his music were, in fact, cool. Finally, Sasha decided to study jazz instead of musical theater at the University of New Orleans, where her father headed the Jazz Studies Program.
Now, Sasha and Steve love playing together and they treasure the common language jazz gives them. Both compose music, but while her father is more focused on traditional jazz and teaching, Sasha likes to produce music with more electronic trends than Steve’s. Despite different interests, Steve’s pride in his daughter is clear. Today, Sasha is known for her musicality and her ability to improvise. “Improvising scares a lot of singers, but for me I feel like a little composer again at the piano next to my dad.
