Ⅳ.阅读理解
More than a billion people around the world have smartphones,almost all of which come with navigation(导航) apps such as Google or Apple Maps.This raises the questions we meet with any technology:what skills are we losing What abilities are we gaining
Talking with people who’re good at finding their way around or using paper maps,I often hear lots of frustration with digital maps.North/South direction gets messed up,and you can see only small sections at a time.
But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me.Despite being a frequent traveler,I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps every day in the small town where I have lived for many years.What looks like an imperfect product to some has been a significant expansion of my own abilities.
Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires specific skills.There is nothing natural about them.In many developed nations,including the U.S.,one expects street names and house numbers to be meaningful references,and instructions such as “go north for three blocks and then west” make sense.In Istanbul,in contrast,where I grew up,none of those hold true.For one thing,the locals rarely use street names.Why bother when a government or a military group might change them again Besides,the city is full of winding,ancient alleys that meet newer avenues at many angles.Instructions as simple as “go north” would require a helicopter or a bulldozer.
Let’s come back to my original questions.While we often lose some skills after leaving the work to technology,it may also allow us to expand our abilities.Consider the calculator:I don’t doubt our arithmetic skills might have dropped a bit as the little machines became common,but calculations that once boring and tricky are now much more straightforward and one can certainly do more complex calculations more confidently.
1.What does the underlined word “frustration” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Convenience. B.Annoyance.
C.Excitement. D.Explanation.
2.What does digital map mean to the writer
A.A travelling friend.
B.An imperfect product.
C.A good helper.
D.A learning tool.
3.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A.The skills of reading maps are important.
B.How Americans name streets.
C.America and Istanbul are different in many ways.
D.It is necessary to use navigation maps in Istanbul.
4.Which of the following will the writer agree with
A.Two paper maps are better than a digital one.
B.Calculations become boring due to the use of calculators.
C.Technology reduces our abilities.
D.When technology closes a door,it opens one as well.
Ⅴ.七选五
Why Can’t People Stop Touching Museum Exhibits(展品)
When visiting the British Museum,you can see visitors touch ancient bowls even though the museum rules say no touching is allowed.Museum guards say it’s impossible to stop people from breaking the no-touch rule. 1
Most museum-going is still a mainly visual (视觉的) experience for visitors to admire the artworks. 2 But over the past few years,more and more museums have been working to include additional senses,like sounds and smells.But touch,especially,is only allowed in certain areas,like the Louvre’s Touch Gallery,or the British Museum’s Hands On Desks.
3 Before there were museums,there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world.When people visited the collection,the objects were passed around.Museums continued with this spirit of openness at first.
But as museums grew,the spirit no longer existed.When you’ve got 4 million visitors a year,you can hardly have everybody touching something.People are awkward and likely to damage the artworks.So the rule against touching artworks makes great sense.Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects. 4
Why are we so unwilling to keep our hands to ourselves Some people just want to make sure the artworks are real.But there’s a larger truth. 5 Visitors say that they want to feel how deep an engraving (雕刻) goes,so as to better understand the artistic skills.In this way,touching is part of trying to somehow make contact with the past.
A.Touch was allowed in museums at first.
B.It helps to show respect for the ancient artists.
C.You stop 100 people touching and there are 200 more.
D.Visitors learn more about objects from reading signs around.
E.You can’t really learn more about objects unless you touch them.
F.But the bigger ones prefer to advertise themselves as no touching.
G.Museums have come a long way since the time of the curiosity room.
Ⅵ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2023湖北五校高二上11月联考)
I was moving as fast as I could,stepping from rock to rock along the uneven jetty(栈桥).Far ahead,I could see the back of my brother’s hair and the bright orange of his shorts.
“Too slow,sister!” I heard Sam yell as he jumped with ease.
“I’ll show him,” I thought,and attempted a double jump.What a mistake! “Ouch!” My shoe was stuck between two rocks.I bent down and that’s when I saw it:a shiny,square shaped stone,attached to a glittery gold chain.It was just lying there on the wet sand,and a few seconds later it was in my pocket.
Sam stopped waiting for me.Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket.I was dizzy,but I didn’t want Sam to notice.He liked to tell everybody my business.
“Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival!”
“Ryan wasted her pocket money on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!”
My family calls me their “little collector”.Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”.
Sam and I walked along the main street.Through the window of the candy shop,I could see colorful jelly beans.A sign on the window caught my attention:Lost:Gold and blue necklace.Very special.If found,call Chrissy at 555-9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster:The necklace looked different from the one in my pocket,I decided.Rounder,bluer.The poster appeared old and weathered.It must have been put up months ago.We continued to walk,and I noticed four more posters.Someone must have returned that necklace by now,I thought.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Once home,I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things,lost in thought.
Fifteen minutes later,I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop.
答案：
Ⅰ.1.historical 2.to answer 3.political 4.playing 5.inspection 6.comprehension 7.to marry 8.Rarely 9.winding 10.for
Ⅱ.1.going about 2.wound through 3.in decline 4.speak volumes about 5.was down to 6.in our own right 7.Thanks to 8.all walks of life 9.on exhibition 10.belonged to
Ⅲ.1.By the window sat 2.It is hoped that 3.Not only can she speak Spanish 4.as well as her two friends;has worked 5.Such is Zhong Nanshan
Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。作者在文章中赞成使用电子地图。作者认为虽然我们放弃了一些技能但同时我们也能扩展我们的能力,更加自信地处理一些复杂的问题。
1.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“North/South direction gets messed up,and you can see only small sections at a time.”可知,作者在与那些擅长找路或使用纸质地图的人交谈时,经常听到人们对电子地图进行这样的负面评价。由此推知,画线词意思为“烦恼”。故选B项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Despite being a frequent traveler,I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps every day in the small town where I have lived for many years.What looks like an imperfect product to some has been a significant expansion of my own abilities.”可知,数字地图对作者来说是一个好帮手。故选C项。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中“For one thing,the locals rarely use street names.Why bother when a government or a military group might change them again Besides,the city is full of winding,ancient alleys that meet newer avenues at many angles.Instructions as simple as ‘go north’ would require a helicopter or a bulldozer.”可知,在伊斯坦布尔使用导航地图是必要的。故选D项。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,虽然我们放弃了一些技能但同时我们也能扩展我们的能力,更加自信地处理一些复杂的问题。由此判断,当技术关闭了一扇门,它同时也打开了一扇门。故D选项是作者可能认同的观点。故选D项。
Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了为什么人们不能停止触摸博物馆的展品。
1.C 上文“Museum guards say it’s impossible to stop people from breaking the no-touch rule.”说明要完全地阻止人们接触展品是不可能的。故可推断空格处内容为解释为什么会是这样的情况。C项与该推断一致,为上文的解释,故选C项。
2.D 根据上文“Most museum-going is still a mainly visual experience for visitors to admire the artworks.”以及下文“But over the past few years,more and more museums have been working to include additional senses,like sounds and smells.”中的“But”可知,和空格处形成了转折,故可推断空格处内容仍然在强调通过视觉体验,也是对上文的补充说明。D项是对上文的补充,也符合下文的逻辑关系,故选D项。
3.G 下文“Before there were museums,there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world.”中的“curiosity rooms”为关键词,选项G中也提到“curiosity room”,再结合语意下文为空格处的解释说明,语意连贯,故选G项。
4.F 根据上文“Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects.”中的“Smaller”以及句意可推断,空格处为相反意思的表达。F项中“bigger”和上文“Smaller”呼应,为一对反义词,同时与上文语意构成转折关系。故选F项。
5.E 根据下文“Visitors say that they want to feel how deep an engraving goes,so as to better understand the artistic skills.In this way,touching is part of trying to somehow make contact with the past.”可推断,空格处内容为“如果你想更好地了解它,应去触摸它”。E项与此推断内容一致,为下文意思的总结,故选E项。
Ⅵ.
Once home,I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things,lost in thought.So far,there had been many things like mini cola bottles and shakers.I stared at the shiny blue stone,which put other things in shade.“So beautiful!” I murmured.But soon a flow of questions arose:Could it be Chrissy’s Was it very special Should I return it to her ...I paced back and forth in my room,not knowing what to do.Having struggled for a long time,I dialed the number on the poster,told Chrissy that I happened to spot a gold necklace by the sea and made an appointment with her.
Fifteen minutes later,I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop.Looking at the recovered blue stone in her hand,Chrissy burst into tears.After a while,she calmed down and told me the necklace was a gift from her dear grandma who died 10 years ago.“Thank you.Never can you imagine how sad I was when I lost it,” she sobbed.“It is the only reminder of the happy old days between us.” She thanked me again and gifted me a bag of candies.On my way home,I congratulated myself on making the right choice.Well,I was “a treasure girl” as Chrissy nicknamed me instead of “a trash girl” called by the mean kids at school.分层跟踪检测(一)Welcome to the unit & Reading

Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all,but owned by none—that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas(画布)—the soft sand.He sometimes spends days working on a piece,only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago,when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick.He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish.Since then,Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years,his drawings have become bigger,but the tools he uses haven’t changed—all he needs is a stick,a garden rake(耙) and most importantly,his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist,Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas,sometimes walking for miles,in search of perfect sand.His latest piece of work,which is also the world’s largest freelance drawing(自由绘画),was created in the desert sands of Nevada.It took Jim three trips,eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art.It took the storm just one night to destroy it!However,Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.
Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005.Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand—he is also an excellent chef and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”,whose motto is to celebrate food at its source.Accordingly,group dining events are held outdoors on farms,with the diners being treated to a delicious meal.The events,which are held in different farms throughout America,are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.
4.It can be learnt from the text that .
A.Denevan walks a lot to complete his work
B.it is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand to draw on

C.Imaginative. D.Traditional.
7.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Denevan loses his interest in art soon.
B.Denevan is also popular as a chef.
C.Being a happy chef is Denevan’s final goal in life.
D.Denevan’s fame helps him with his chef job.

Like most couples,my husband and I dreamed of becoming homeowners.Sure,apartment living comes with its own set of advantages—less housework,shared comfort,less to clean up and care for,and usually cheaper rent.As a result,we decided to downgrade from our neat five-bedroom,2,700-square-foot house on the water to a three-bedroom,1,369-square-foot apartment,with two kids.
Once we arrived in our new apartment,we were surprised to find that things flowed relatively smoothly.There was so much less to keep up with—fewer floors to mop,fewer windows to clean,fewer walls to wipe,etc.Now I think of our home as our little playhouse,since it’s much smaller and everything is closer together.That also makes it so much easier for me to keep up with as a mom.I collect laundry all on one floor comparing with having to climb stairs to the house’s second floor!
In our new home,we use lots of shoe organizers inside of every closet door for more than just shoes—baby items,office items,and medicines.We also have a functional room that serves as an office and gym.Since both my husband and I work from home,we require at least one room to share as an office with fitness equipment fitted into a corner.
While many people choose to downsize for financial reasons,that actually wasn’t a factor in our decision.We wanted to be in a lively area with like-minded young families.That was our first priority.Though we may still buy another house in this area at some point down the line,for now,we’re thrilled with the concept of renting an apartment.Let me put it this way:We’re not really the “handy” types,so being able to call maintenance(维修) for any repairs is worth every rent coin!
8.What can we learn from paragraph 1
A.Our old house was upgraded.
B.Living in a house has advantages.
C.Our new apartment was downsized.
D.Smaller size means more housework.
9.How do the couple feel about the new apartment
A.Confused. B.Amazed.
C.Tired. D.Challenged.
10.Why do the couple make changes to their new home
A.To build up their body.
B.To create a home office.
C.To enlarge all the rooms.
D.To make full use of space.
11.What is the couple’s first concern when moving
A.Transportation. B.Neighbourhood.
C.Repair work. D.Money.
Ⅴ.七选五
Art is food for the soul,and children learning art actually get advantages.Here are some advantages of learning art for children.
Art helps increase creativity.
Art allows children to understand the world and express themselves in a creative way. 1 And there is no right or wrong in every art piece.The child’s opinion and feeling will be unique and highly appreciated in an art class.

Art helps develop patience and determination.
Children who learn new music instrument know how hard it is to achieve progress. 4 It is highly important in a competitive world when you are required to stay patient and never give up in order to learn new skills.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Making my way slowly along the cliff (悬崖) face,I gazed (注视) at the great appearance of each temple I passed.As I entered the first cave and looked up at the feitian—an imagined flying god in Buddhist art,I wondered how many hundreds of thousands of others,from near and far,have looked at the same great paintings and statues.
Sometime between the 4th and 14th century,Mogao was an important Buddhist center connecting East Asia and South Asia.Hundreds of caves were carved into a cliff face running along the Daquan River.Located on the ancient Silk Road,as one of the great trade routes in ancient times,it created an environment of artistic and cultural exchange between different cultures.
My personal adventure to Dunhuang had taken me,by way of train and bus,from Xining in Qinghai Province to Lanzhou in Gansu Province,and through the Jiayu Pass.From there,I continued on through Yumen Pass,also known as the Jade Gate,and crossed the Gobi Desert to find this small and sleepy desert town,and to see these caves for myself.
As I explored the temples,I was amazed by the vividness (生动性) of the paintings and statues.It was almost as though they were painted or carved the day before.I had discovered the reason why people travel.
There are more than 2,000 coloured statues that were carved 1,500 years ago.More than 1,400 statues are well-protected so they can still be appreciated.During the thousand years of artistic activity,the style of the wall paintings and statues changed.The early caves show greater Indian and Western influences,while during the Tang Dynasty the influences of Chinese painting styles became noticeable.
Today,the Mogao Caves stand out from the desert like a shinning pearl on the Silk Road.
