（2023·新课标 II , C篇）
Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses —absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.
1．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．An introduction to a book. B．An essay on the art of writing.
C．A guidebook to a museum. D．A review of modern paintings.
2．What are the selected artworks about
A．Wealth and intellect. B．Home and school.
C．Books and reading. D．Work and leisure.
3．What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Understand. B．Paint.
C．Seize. D．Transform.
4．What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader
A．The printed book is not totally out of date.
B．Technology has changed the way we read.
C．Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D．People now rarely have the patience to read.
【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章是对一本书的介绍，主要介绍了印刷书籍和阅读对人类的重要意义。
1．文章出处判断题。In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. (在这本“书之书”中，艺术品的选择和排列方式强调了不同时代和文化之间的联系)”以及第三段“Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect, wealth or faith of the subject. (书籍本身可以在绘画中象征性地用来展示智慧，主体的财富或信仰)”和最后一段“From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. (从21世纪的角度来看，这本印刷书无疑是古老的，但它仍然像任何电池供电的电子阅读器一样具有互动性)”可推知，本文最有可能出自一本印刷书的扉页，即对该书的介绍。故选A。
2．细节理解题。通过文章第二段“artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. (艺术品的选择和排列方式强调了不同时代和文化之间的联系。我们看到孩子们在家里或学校学习阅读的场景，这本书是几代人之间关系的焦点)”可知，选定的艺术品是关于书籍和阅读的。故选C。
3．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. (艺术品的选择和排列方式强调了不同时代和文化之间的联系。我们看到孩子们在家里或学校学习阅读的场景，这本书是几代人之间关系的焦点)”以及“These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments (这些场景可能是数百年前绘制的，但它们记录了一些时刻)”可推知，此处指书籍是人类之间相互联系和理解的纽带，故与画线短语“relate to”意思最相近的为A项“理解、认识到”。故选A。
4．推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader (它仍然像任何电池供电的电子阅读器一样具有互动性)”以及“printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity (印刷书籍仍然提供了完全私人的“离线”活动的机会)”可推知，本文作者提到电子阅读器想表达的是印刷书籍并没有完全过时。故选A。

Passage 1
（2024·江苏泰州·一模）Norman Lear, a genius producer and screenwriter, passed away on Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 101. “Lear’s hit comedy shows changed television forever,” said Darnel Hunt, a leading artist on TV.
Lear grew up in an ordinary family in Connecticut, where an unexpected accident brought about his father’s business collapse. So he had to drop out of college and joined the army. In his late 20s, he moved to Los Angeles where he struggled hard for several years, selling furniture door to door. Later on, unsatisfied with his life, he eventually turned to writing for a nightclub comedy act.
By 1971, when he was almost 50, Lear had produced and directed some shows, among which was the hit show All in the Family. In the beginning, it didn’t get on the air smoothly. However, once it did, this show made it to the top 10 for eight of its nine seasons, promising Lear’s life was to change.
This successful show was just the beginning of Lear’s dominating position in comedy shows. Then came The Jeffersons, about a family on its way up. It ran for eleven seasons, one of the longest running comedy shows on television, becoming another successful story. When interviewed about the hit of his shows, Lear said, “Our team read two or three newspapers a day, paid a lot of attention to our families, and came in to talk about everything that was affecting us in our daily lives.” Therefore, it came as no surprise that viewers had a sense of Lear’s own family after watching All in the Family.
“Routinely, Lear’s shows might get fifty or sixty million viewers. He was in direct contact with the living rooms and families of the country,” says Marty Kaplan, founding director of the Norman Lear Center. “Lear did everything with humor and sympathy.”
1．What can we learn about Lear from the first two paragraphs
A．He led a challenging life in his twenties.
B．His shows had little impact on television.
C．His father expected him to be a screenwriter.
D．He received good education despite his father’s business failure.
2．Which factor may contribute to the success of Lear’s shows
A．His shows reflected real daily life. B．His shows featured surprise endings.
C．His shows go on the air immediately. D．His shows dominated the comedy industry.
3．What can we infer from Marty Kaplan’s words in the last paragraph
A．Lear promoted his shows to families directly.
B．Lear won widespread popularity for his shows.
C．Lear carried out face-to-face interactions with viewers.
D．Lear always focuses on the themes of humor and sympathy.
4．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A comedy script. B．A story collection.
C．A literature review. D．A news report.
【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了天才制片人和编剧Norman Lear去世的消息，并回顾了他的生平，介绍了他创作的喜剧所取得的巨大成功。
1．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Lear grew up in an ordinary family in Connecticut, where an unexpected accident brought about his father’s business collapse. So he had to drop out of college and joined the army. In his late 20s, he moved to Los Angeles where he struggled hard for several years, selling furniture door to door. (Lear在康涅狄格州的一个普通家庭长大，一场意外事故导致他父亲的生意破产。所以他不得不从大学退学去参军。在他快三十岁的时候，他搬到了洛杉矶，在那里他努力奋斗了几年，挨家挨户地卖家具)”可知，Lear成长于普通家庭，因父亲生意破产而从大学退学去参军，快三十岁时得靠着卖家具努力挣钱。由此可知，他二十多岁时过着充满挑战的生活。故选A项。
2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“When interviewed about the hit of his shows, Lear said, “Our team read two or three newspapers a day, paid a lot of attention to our families, and came in to talk about everything that was affecting us in our daily lives.” (在被采访到他的节目大受欢迎时，Lear说：“我们的团队每天读两三份报纸，非常关注我们的家庭，并讨论影响我们日常生活的一切事情。”)”可知，Lear的节目创作团队关注报纸上的新闻、自己的家庭、日常生活中的一切。由此可知，他的节目反映了真实的日常生活，这一点有助于节目的成功。故选A项。
3．推理判断题。根据最后一段Marty Kaplan所说的话“Routinely, Lear’s shows might get fifty or sixty million viewers. He was in direct contact with the living rooms and families of the country (Lear的节目通常会吸引五六千万观众。他与这个国家的客厅和家庭直接接触)”可知，Lear创作的节目观众非常多，他与观众建立了紧密的联系。由此推知，Lear因节目而广受欢迎。故选B项。
4．文章出处判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Norman Lear, a genius producer and screenwriter, passed away on Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 101. (天才制片人和编剧Norman Lear周二在洛杉矶去世，享年101岁)”可知，文章主要报道了天才制片人和编剧Norman Lear去世的消息，并以此简要回顾了他的生平经历，介绍了他创作的喜剧所取得的巨大成功。因此，文章应该出自新闻报道。故选D项。
Passage 2
（23-24高一上·湖南郴州·期末）The 19th Asian Games was held in Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang Province from September 23 to October 8, 2023.
The Asian Games is the largest sporting event in Asia. Its predecessor (前身) was the Far Eastern Games. In 1948, Guru Dutt Sondhi, the leader of Indian sports, felt that the Far Eastern Games were not good enough to reflect the level of Asian sports and the unity spirit of Asian people, and suggested establishing the Asian Games so that all Asian countries could participate.
The Hangzhou Asian Games is the third Asian multi-sport event held in China, with 12,417 athletes from all 45 Asian countries and regions participating. Some rising sports that have recently gone viral among young people made their first appearance at this year’s Games, such as break dance and e-sports. Weiqi, a mind sport, has returned to the Hangzhou Games after a 13-year absence since it appeared at the Guangzhou Games in 2010. Certain regional sports in Asia, especially dragon boat racing, kurash, and sepak takraw, though not recognized as Olympic sports, were medal-awarded events at the Asian Games.
In the lead-up to the sporting event, the design details of the victory ceremony elements, including bouquets (花束), trays, and podiums, were revealed. The bouquet, named “Fruits of Victory”, blends traditional Chinese elements such as rice ears and lotus pods, signifying fruitful harvests, and wishes the athletes a journey of accomplishment and honor. The medal tray’s design is inspired by the ripples of the West Lake and describes the elegance of lakes and hills. The podium sports a purple rainbow on its outside, reflecting energy and innovation (创新). Its surface, painted in white, shows the spirit of unity, harmony and mutual success among Asian nations and regions.
With the Games fully prepared by organizers, it has surely impressed all the athletes and participants, leaving a legacy (遗产) of a smart and green event for people.
5．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The goal of the Asian Games. B．The origin of the Asian Games.
C．The participants of the Asian Games. D．The demand for hosting the Asian Games.
6．What do the underlined words “gone viral” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Won a prize B．Made a promise
C．Become popular instantly D．Faced great challenges
7．What do the bouquets in the victory ceremony stand for
A．Unity and harmony. B．Nobility and elegance.
C．Energy and innovation. D．Harvest and achievements.
8．Where does this text probably come from
A．A news report. B．A travel website.
C．An exhibition guide. D．A science magazine.
【答案】5．B 6．C 7．D 8．A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道文体。文章报道了2023年9月23日至10月8日在中国浙江省杭州市举办的第19届亚运会。
5．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The Asian Games is the largest sporting event in Asia. Its predecessor ( 前身 ) was the Far Eastern Games. In 1948, Guru Dutt Sondhi, the leader of Indian sports, felt that the Far Eastern Games were not good enough to reflect the level of Asian sports and the unity spirit of Asian people, and suggested establishing the Asian Games so that all Asian countries could participate.(亚运会是亚洲最大的体育赛事。它的前身是远东运动会。1948年，印度体育界领袖古鲁·杜特·桑迪认为远东运动会不足以反映亚洲体育的水平和亚洲人民的团结精神，建议举办亚运会，使所有亚洲国家都能参加)”可推知，第二段中主要介绍了亚运会的由来。故选B项。
6．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Some rising sports that have recently gone viral among young people made their first appearance at this year’s Games, such as break dance and e-sports.(最近一些在年轻人中gone viral的新兴体育项目首次出现在今年的亚运会上，比如霹雳舞和电子竞技)”中“made their first appearance at this year’s Games”和“such as break dance and e-sports”可推知，霹雳舞和电子竞技这些运动项目能出现在亚运会上，说明它们在年轻人中很受欢迎，很流行，所以gone viral与become popular instantly意为相近，表示“突然走红”。故选C项。
7．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The bouquet, named “Fruits of Victory”, blends traditional Chinese elements such as rice ears and lotus pods, signifying fruitful harvests, and wishes the athletes a journey of accomplishment and honor.(这束名为“胜利之果”的花束融合了中国传统元素，如稻穗和莲荚，象征着收获，并祝愿运动员取得成就和荣誉)”可知，胜利仪式上的花束代表着收获与成就。故选D项。
8．文章出处判断题。结合第一段“The 19th Asian Games was held in Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang Province from September 23 to October 8, 2023.(第19届亚运会于2023年9月23日至10月8日在中国东部浙江省省会杭州举行)”和下文介绍亚运会的历史起源，以及本届杭州亚运会的相关情况可推知，这是一篇关于第19届杭州亚运会的新闻，出自一则新闻报道。故选A项。
Passage 3
（2024·湖南长沙·一模）Nothing earns attention like rarity. In the natural world, rarity is most clearly represented by the last members of a declining species. These scarce (稀有) plants and animals are extremely valuable; they represent the final hope for preventing extinction. The efforts toward conserving rare species have made an enormous difference. In the past few decades, declines of many endangered plants and animals have been reversed (逆转). But the attention to scarcity could come at the expense of overlooking the ordinary.
If we are to conserve nature, we must maintain our focus on the familiar. Increasingly, conservation is turning its sights in this direction — to safeguard what is common, not just what is rare.
There are good reasons to consider the common. A study of North American birds uncovered that we have lost three billion birds on this continent within the past two generations.
These declines include species once considered widespread and secure, like the common redpoll, whose numbers are down by 29 million and the common nighthawk, down by 26 million. The shocking losses are a reminder that the mark of a species in trouble is not rarity, but rate of decline.
Notably, the shifts in abundance of common species can translate into sizeable shifts in ecosystem functioning. One caribou herd (北美驯鹿群), numbering in the hundreds of thousands, removes millions of kilograms of food for animals every year and returns nutrients to the soil in the form of millions of kilograms of animal wastes.
The value of common species is not just ecological and economic, but psychological. Study after study demonstrates that encounters with the natural world improve our mental state. Losing familiar species — whether birds in our backyard or butterflies on our doorstep — is likely to shrink (收缩) such opportunities for engagement.
Rarity will always occupy a significant place in conservation. But in our pursuit for a sustainable and biodiverse future, we must avoid “the extinction of commonness”.
9．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To make a survey. B．To offer a suggestion.
C．To introduce the topic. D．To provide an example.
10．What does the example of bird study suggest according to the text
A．Species loss balances the ecosystem.
B．Birds produce many nutrients to the soil.
C．Species rate of decline arouses people’s concern.
D．Birds are described as widespread and secure animals.
11．What can we conclude from the passage
A．Rarity matters most in conservation.
B．Familiar species shouldn’t be ignored.
C．Biodiversity results in the extinction of commonness.
D．People’s physical state shrinks for the sustainable development.
12．Where is this text most probably taken from
A．A news report. B．A health column.
C．A biology magazine. D．A travel brochure.
【答案】9．C 10．C 11．B 12．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出了过去几十年来，对稀有物种的保护努力已经取得了巨大成功，同时强调对普通物种的保护也重视至关重要。他提到了一项关于北美鸟类的研究，指出了普通物种数量的急剧下降，以及这些物种数量减少对生态系统功能的影响。最后，作者强调了普通物种在心理、生态和经济上的重要性，并呼吁保护普通物种以实现可持续和生物多样化的未来。
9．推理判断题。文章第一段“Nothing earns attention like rarity. In the natural world, rarity is most clearly represented by the last members of a declining species. These scarce (稀有) plants and animals are extremely valuable; they represent the final hope for preventing extinction. The efforts toward conserving rare species have made an enormous difference. In the past few decades, declines of many endangered plants and animals have been reversed (逆转). But the attention to scarcity could come at the expense of overlooking the ordinary.(没有什么比稀有更吸引人了。在自然界中，稀有最明显地体现在一个正在衰退的物种的最后成员身上。这些稀有的动植物极其珍贵；它们是防止物种灭绝的最后希望。保护稀有物种的努力已经产生了巨大的影响。在过去的几十年里，许多濒危动植物的数量下降趋势已经逆转。但是，对稀缺性的关注可能是以忽视普通物种为代价的)”中先肯定了我们对稀有物种的保护和取得的成就，但最后一句“But the attention to scarcity could come at the expense of overlooking the ordinary.”把话题由对稀有物种的保护引到普通物种上来，再结合第二段中“If we are to conserve nature, we must maintain our focus on the familiar. Increasingly, conservation is turning its sights in this direction — to safeguard what is common, not just what is rare.(如果我们要保护自然，我们必须把注意力集中在熟悉的事物上。自然资源保护越来越多地将目光转向这个方向——保护常见的东西，而不仅仅是稀有的东西)”可知，对普通物种的保护才是本文的主题，所以第一段的目的是引入话题。故选C项。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段中“There are good reasons to consider the common.(我们有充分的理由考虑普通的物种)”和第四段中“These declines include species once considered widespread and secure, like the common redpoll, whose numbers are down by 29 million and the common nighthawk, down by 26 million. The shocking losses are a reminder that the mark of a species in trouble is not rarity, but rate of decline.(这些减少的物种包括曾经被认为分布广泛和安全的物种，比如普通的红背鸟，它们的数量减少了2900万只，普通的夜鹰，减少了2600万只。这些令人震惊的损失提醒我们，濒危物种的标志不是稀有，而是减少的速度)”可推知，对普通鸟类研究的这些例子表明这些物种的减少速度令人震惊，引起了人们的担忧。故选C项。
11．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Notably, the shifts in abundance of common species can translate into sizeable shifts in ecosystem functioning.(值得注意的是，普通物种数量的变化可以转化为生态系统功能的巨大变化)”和第六段中“The value of common species is not just ecological and economic, but psychological.(普通物种的价值不仅仅是生态和经济上的，还有心理上的)”可推知，普通物种有生态、经济和心理上的价值，不应该被忽视。故选B项。
12．文章出处判断题。通读全文，结合第二段“If we are to conserve nature, we must maintain our focus on the familiar. Increasingly, conservation is turning its sights in this direction — to safeguard what is common, not just what is rare.(如果我们要保护自然，我们必须把注意力集中在熟悉的事物上。自然资源保护越来越多地将目光转向这个方向——保护普通的东西，而不仅仅是稀有的东西)”和最后一段中“Rarity will always occupy a significant place in conservation. But in our pursuit for a sustainable and biodiverse future, we must avoid “the extinction of commonness”.(稀有物种总是在保护中占有重要地位。但是，在我们追求可持续和生物多样性的未来时，我们必须避免“普通物种的灭绝”)”可推知，本文论述在生物保护中对普通物种的保护的重要性，与生物学相关，所以很更能出自生物学杂志。故选C项。

（2024·广东深圳·一模）“Why does grandpa have ear hair ” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fiun to learm.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong
My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information-drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C． Keil details the development of wonder — a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.
As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.
21．What is a common problem among fourth graders
A．They upset their parents too often. B．They ask too many strange questions.
C．Their love for fun disappears quickly. D．Their desire to learn declines sharply.
22．What can be inferred about children’s causal mechanisms in paragraph 4
A．They control children’s sensitivity. B．They slightly change in early childhood.
C．They hardly support children’s reasoning. D．They develop through children’s questioning.
23．How can parents support children’s ongoing wonder according to Keil
A．By monitoring their games. B．By welcoming inquiring minds.
C．By estimating their abilities. D．By providing reasonable conclusions.
24．What is the text
A．A book review. B．A news report. C．A research paper. D．A children’s story.
【答案】21．D 22．D 23．B 24．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是Wonder这本书的主要内容，这本书主要分析的是为什么孩子们对外界事物的好奇会在四年级时急剧减少。
21．推理判断题。根据第二段“Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information-drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.(发展心理学家Susan Engel指出，到四年级时，被定义为“自发”调查的好奇心和对新信息的渴望会急剧下降。)”可知，四年级学生的常见问题是他们的学习欲望急剧下降。故选D。
22．推理判断题。根据第四段“Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.(孩子们的问题，特别是那些关于“为什么”和“如何”的问题，支持因果机制的发展，可以用来帮助他们的日常推理。)”可知，从第4段可以推断出儿童的因果机制是通过孩子们的提问发展起来的。故选D。
23．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.(在Wonder这本书中，Keil告诉我们，我们可以通过和孩子们一起玩游戏，鼓励他们提问，关注他们推理和总结的能力，来支持孩子们持续的惊奇。)”可知，根据Keil的说法，父母可以通过欢迎孩子们问问题来支持孩子们不断的惊奇，故选B。
24．文章出处判断题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段“In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.(在Wonder这本书中，Keil告诉我们，我们可以通过和孩子们一起玩游戏，鼓励他们提问，关注他们推理和总结的能力，来支持孩子们持续的惊奇。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是Wonder这本书的主要内容，因此这本书是书评，故选A。
Passage 7
（23-24高三上·广东·期末）People in Paris, France are growing concerned about a problem that has worried people for centuries: bedbugs, which are small, flat insects that live in beds and other places.
With more and more reports of bedbugs being found, the French government is worried about the problem. Millions of people will be traveling to Paris this summer for the 2024 Olympics. France doesn’t want the country to leave a bad impression by letting its visitors get bitten by bedbugs. No one likes bedbugs, but it’s important to remember that they can be upsetting and leave itchy bites behind, but they do not spread diseases. They’ve been around for thousands of years, and even found in old Egyptian tombs.
After World War II, people began using dangerous chemicals to kill them, which caused bedbugs and many other pests to become much less common. But in the past 20 or 30 years, bedbugs have become common again. For one thing, now many bedbugs aren’t affected by most of the chemicals that used to kill them. Some people think that the bedbugs that are left may be ones that the chemicals don’t work on. For another, people are traveling more these days. Bedbugs can hide in tiny spaces, including inside suitcases. When people bring their suitcases to new places, bedbugs can spread to new areas — or from those areas back home.
In France, bedbugs are a long-standing problem. Jean-Michel Berenger, a scientist who studies insects in Marseille, says, “Every late summer we see a big increase in bedbugs.” That’s mainly from people returning after traveling. And now, in addition to reports of bedbugs in hotels and apartments, there’re also reports of them being found in other places: on seats at movie theaters, on long-distance trains, on the Paris subway, and at the country’s busiest airport. French officials are making sure Paris’ apartments, along with hotels and other places where tourists stay, are safe and clean.
25．Why does the French government start dealing with bedbugs
A．They are spreading diseases. B．They may affect a big event.
C．They bite more and more people. D．They exist in France for too long.
26．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The places where bedbugs often live. B．The ways that bedbugs travel globally.
C．The reasons why bedbugs come back. D．The fact that bedbugs beat chemicals.
27．What’s Jean-Michel’s opinion about bedbugs
A．Bedbugs can be easily got rid of.
B．The bedbug problem is getting worse and worse.
C．Bedbugs live mainly in hotels and apartments.
D．The number of bedbugs decreases sharply in late summer.
28．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．A local newspaper. B．A travel brochure.
C．A sports magazine. D．A research report.
【答案】25．B 26．C 27．B 28．A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。法国巴黎越来越关注困扰了人们几个世纪的臭虫问题。随着越来越多关于臭虫的报道，官员们开始考虑如何在2024年夏天巴黎举办奥运会之前解决臭虫的问题。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段“With more and more reports of bedbugs being found, the French government is worried about the problem. Millions of people will be traveling to Paris this summer for the 2024 Olympics. France doesn’t want the country to leave a bad impression by letting its visitors get bitten by bedbugs. (随着越来越多的臭虫报告被发现，法国政府对这个问题感到担忧。今年夏天将有数百万人前往巴黎参加2024年奥运会。法国不想让游客被臭虫叮咬，给这个国家留下不好的印象。)”可知，法国政府开始处理臭虫是害怕它们会在奥运会期间叮咬游客，而导致给法国留下不好的印象，即它们会影响一个重大事情。故选B。
26．主旨大意题。根据第三段“But in the past 20 or 30 years, bedbugs have become common again. For one thing, now many bedbugs aren’t affected by most of the chemicals that used to kill them. Some people think that the bedbugs that are left may be ones that the chemicals don’t work on. For another, people are traveling more these days. Bedbugs can hide in tiny spaces, including inside suitcases. When people bring their suitcases to new places, bedbugs can spread to new areas-or from those areas back home. (但在过去的二三十年里，臭虫再次变得普遍起来。首先，现在许多臭虫没有受到大多数用来杀死它们的化学物质的影响。有些人认为剩下的臭虫可能是化学物质不起作用的。另一方面，人们现在旅行的次数越来越多。臭虫可以躲在狭小的空间里，包括行李箱里。当人们把行李箱带到新的地方时，臭虫会传播到新的地区或从这些地区传播回家。)”可知，这一段主要介绍臭虫再次变得普遍起来的原因。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jean-Michel Berenger, a scientist who studies insects in Marseille, says, “Every late summer we see a big increase in bedbugs.”(马赛研究昆虫的科学家Jean-Michel Berenger说：“每年夏末，我们都会看到臭虫的大量增加。”)”可知，在Jean-Michel Berenger看来，臭虫问题正在变得越来越糟糕。故选B。
28．文章出处判断题。根据第一段“People in Paris, France are growing concerned about a problem that has worried people for centuries: bedbugs, which are small, flat insects that live in beds and other places. (法国巴黎的人们越来越担心一个困扰人们几个世纪的问题：臭虫，一种生活在床上和其他地方的小而扁平的昆虫。)”和第二段“With more and more reports of bedbugs being found, the French government is worried about the problem.( 随着越来越多的臭虫报告被发现，法国政府对这个问题感到担忧。)”可知，这篇文章应该是选自于法国巴黎当地的报纸报道。故选A。
Passage 8
（23-24高三上·广东潮州·期末）Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing. Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.
The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that control our lives for a period of time. Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30 years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times. Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can unplug from their digital routine.
Why might you want to take a digital detox Perhaps you find that you are spending longer than you intend on certain apps or that they distract you from more important things. Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying. Constant negative news can also give rise to a lot of stress.
Technology can also have physical effects. Many people experience back or neck pain as a result of bending over screens. The blue light coming from most screens can also affect people’s sleep by preventing production of melatonin (褪黑素).
Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body, mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really important things.
29．Why does the author say “technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing” in paragraph 1
A．To confirm a concept.
B．To explain a rule.
C．To present a problem.
D．To make a prediction.
30．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A．Forms of getting rid of “digital detox”.
B．Suggestions of practicing “digital detox”.
C．Ways of avoiding screen time completely.
D．Options of unplugging all digital routine.
31．Which could be the reason for one to start “digital detox”
A．Pressure from social comparison.
B．Fear of missing important things.
C．Exposure to false news.
D．Apps selection difficulty.
32．Which section of the website may this article come from
A．Entertainment. B．Technology . C．Health. D．Education.
【答案】29．C 30．B 31．A 32．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“数字排毒”这个概念，以及数字产品给我们带来的影响。
29．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing.(我们大多数人的生活都被屏幕包围着，屏幕为我们提供了便利、联系和信息的海洋。但是，由于人们很容易感到跟上每条通知的压力，技术可能更像是一种负担，而不是一种祝福)”以及后文的“Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.(因此，“数字排毒”的概念正变得越来越受欢迎)”可知，虽然电子设备给我们的生活提供了便利以及海量的信息，但大量的信息通知以及提供有时却给人类增加了负担而不是乐趣，由此后文提出解决问题的方式“数字排毒”。由此推知，作者提到“technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing(技术可能更像是一种负担而不是一种祝福)”的目的是为了提出当前人类所面临的问题。故选C项。
30．主旨大意题。根据第二段“The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that control our lives for a period of time. Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30 years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times. Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can unplug from their digital routine.(“数字排毒”指的是在一段时间内摆脱电视、电话、电脑和其他控制我们生活的科技产品。一些专家主张在30年内完全避免不必要的屏幕时间。还有人建议使用一款可以限制人们在某些网站上花费的时间的应用程序。第三种选择是在晚上或周末退出。其他人只是在预定的时间关掉手机。有些人甚至花高价去度假，在那里他们可以从数字生活中解脱出来)”可知，文章第二段主要讲的是实践“数字排毒”的建议。故选B项。
31．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying.(也许社交媒体令人沮丧是因为你把自己和别人比较，或者你害怕错过别人喜欢的东西)”可知，一个人可能开始“数字排毒”的原因是他把自己和别人比较，也就是来自社会比较的压力。故选A项。
32．文章出处判断题。根据文章大意以及倒数第二段“Technology can also have physical effects. Many people experience back or neck pain as a result of bending over screens. The blue light coming from most screens can also affect people’s sleep by preventing production of melatonin (褪黑素).(科技也会对身体产生影响。许多人因为低头看屏幕而感到背部或颈部疼痛。大多数屏幕发出的蓝光也会阻止褪黑激素的产生，从而影响人们的睡眠)”可知，文章提到了关于科技对于健康的影响。由此推知，这篇文章可能来自网站的健康板块部分。故选C项。专题04 文章出处推断题

（2023·新课标 II , C篇）
Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses —absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.
1．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．An introduction to a book. B．An essay on the art of writing.
C．A guidebook to a museum. D．A review of modern paintings.
2．What are the selected artworks about
A．Wealth and intellect. B．Home and school.
C．Books and reading. D．Work and leisure.
3．What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Understand. B．Paint.
C．Seize. D．Transform.
4．What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader
A．The printed book is not totally out of date.
B．Technology has changed the way we read.
C．Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D．People now rarely have the patience to read.

Passage 1
（2024·江苏泰州·一模）Norman Lear, a genius producer and screenwriter, passed away on Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 101. “Lear’s hit comedy shows changed television forever,” said Darnel Hunt, a leading artist on TV.
Lear grew up in an ordinary family in Connecticut, where an unexpected accident brought about his father’s business collapse. So he had to drop out of college and joined the army. In his late 20s, he moved to Los Angeles where he struggled hard for several years, selling furniture door to door. Later on, unsatisfied with his life, he eventually turned to writing for a nightclub comedy act.
By 1971, when he was almost 50, Lear had produced and directed some shows, among which was the hit show All in the Family. In the beginning, it didn’t get on the air smoothly. However, once it did, this show made it to the top 10 for eight of its nine seasons, promising Lear’s life was to change.
This successful show was just the beginning of Lear’s dominating position in comedy shows. Then came The Jeffersons, about a family on its way up. It ran for eleven seasons, one of the longest running comedy shows on television, becoming another successful story. When interviewed about the hit of his shows, Lear said, “Our team read two or three newspapers a day, paid a lot of attention to our families, and came in to talk about everything that was affecting us in our daily lives.” Therefore, it came as no surprise that viewers had a sense of Lear’s own family after watching All in the Family.
“Routinely, Lear’s shows might get fifty or sixty million viewers. He was in direct contact with the living rooms and families of the country,” says Marty Kaplan, founding director of the Norman Lear Center. “Lear did everything with humor and sympathy.”
1．What can we learn about Lear from the first two paragraphs
A．He led a challenging life in his twenties.
B．His shows had little impact on television.
C．His father expected him to be a screenwriter.
D．He received good education despite his father’s business failure.
2．Which factor may contribute to the success of Lear’s shows
A．His shows reflected real daily life. B．His shows featured surprise endings.
C．His shows go on the air immediately. D．His shows dominated the comedy industry.
3．What can we infer from Marty Kaplan’s words in the last paragraph
A．Lear promoted his shows to families directly.
B．Lear won widespread popularity for his shows.
C．Lear carried out face-to-face interactions with viewers.
D．Lear always focuses on the themes of humor and sympathy.
4．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A comedy script. B．A story collection.
C．A literature review. D．A news report.
Passage 2
（23-24高一上·湖南郴州·期末）The 19th Asian Games was held in Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang Province from September 23 to October 8, 2023.
The Asian Games is the largest sporting event in Asia. Its predecessor (前身) was the Far Eastern Games. In 1948, Guru Dutt Sondhi, the leader of Indian sports, felt that the Far Eastern Games were not good enough to reflect the level of Asian sports and the unity spirit of Asian people, and suggested establishing the Asian Games so that all Asian countries could participate.
The Hangzhou Asian Games is the third Asian multi-sport event held in China, with 12,417 athletes from all 45 Asian countries and regions participating. Some rising sports that have recently gone viral among young people made their first appearance at this year’s Games, such as break dance and e-sports. Weiqi, a mind sport, has returned to the Hangzhou Games after a 13-year absence since it appeared at the Guangzhou Games in 2010. Certain regional sports in Asia, especially dragon boat racing, kurash, and sepak takraw, though not recognized as Olympic sports, were medal-awarded events at the Asian Games.
In the lead-up to the sporting event, the design details of the victory ceremony elements, including bouquets (花束), trays, and podiums, were revealed. The bouquet, named “Fruits of Victory”, blends traditional Chinese elements such as rice ears and lotus pods, signifying fruitful harvests, and wishes the athletes a journey of accomplishment and honor. The medal tray’s design is inspired by the ripples of the West Lake and describes the elegance of lakes and hills. The podium sports a purple rainbow on its outside, reflecting energy and innovation (创新). Its surface, painted in white, shows the spirit of unity, harmony and mutual success among Asian nations and regions.
With the Games fully prepared by organizers, it has surely impressed all the athletes and participants, leaving a legacy (遗产) of a smart and green event for people.
5．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The goal of the Asian Games. B．The origin of the Asian Games.
C．The participants of the Asian Games. D．The demand for hosting the Asian Games.
6．What do the underlined words “gone viral” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Won a prize B．Made a promise
C．Become popular instantly D．Faced great challenges
7．What do the bouquets in the victory ceremony stand for
A．Unity and harmony. B．Nobility and elegance.
C．Energy and innovation. D．Harvest and achievements.
8．Where does this text probably come from
A．A news report. B．A travel website.
C．An exhibition guide. D．A science magazine.
Passage 3
（2024·湖南长沙·一模）Nothing earns attention like rarity. In the natural world, rarity is most clearly represented by the last members of a declining species. These scarce (稀有) plants and animals are extremely valuable; they represent the final hope for preventing extinction. The efforts toward conserving rare species have made an enormous difference. In the past few decades, declines of many endangered plants and animals have been reversed (逆转). But the attention to scarcity could come at the expense of overlooking the ordinary.
If we are to conserve nature, we must maintain our focus on the familiar. Increasingly, conservation is turning its sights in this direction — to safeguard what is common, not just what is rare.
There are good reasons to consider the common. A study of North American birds uncovered that we have lost three billion birds on this continent within the past two generations.
These declines include species once considered widespread and secure, like the common redpoll, whose numbers are down by 29 million and the common nighthawk, down by 26 million. The shocking losses are a reminder that the mark of a species in trouble is not rarity, but rate of decline.
Notably, the shifts in abundance of common species can translate into sizeable shifts in ecosystem functioning. One caribou herd (北美驯鹿群), numbering in the hundreds of thousands, removes millions of kilograms of food for animals every year and returns nutrients to the soil in the form of millions of kilograms of animal wastes.
The value of common species is not just ecological and economic, but psychological. Study after study demonstrates that encounters with the natural world improve our mental state. Losing familiar species — whether birds in our backyard or butterflies on our doorstep — is likely to shrink (收缩) such opportunities for engagement.
Rarity will always occupy a significant place in conservation. But in our pursuit for a sustainable and biodiverse future, we must avoid “the extinction of commonness”.
9．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To make a survey. B．To offer a suggestion.
C．To introduce the topic. D．To provide an example.
10．What does the example of bird study suggest according to the text
A．Species loss balances the ecosystem.
B．Birds produce many nutrients to the soil.
C．Species rate of decline arouses people’s concern.
D．Birds are described as widespread and secure animals.
11．What can we conclude from the passage
A．Rarity matters most in conservation.
B．Familiar species shouldn’t be ignored.
C．Biodiversity results in the extinction of commonness.
D．People’s physical state shrinks for the sustainable development.
12．Where is this text most probably taken from
A．A news report. B．A health column.
C．A biology magazine. D．A travel brochure.

Passage 6
（2024·广东深圳·一模）“Why does grandpa have ear hair ” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fiun to learm.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong
My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information-drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C． Keil details the development of wonder — a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.
As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.

Passage 7
（23-24高三上·广东·期末）People in Paris, France are growing concerned about a problem that has worried people for centuries: bedbugs, which are small, flat insects that live in beds and other places.
With more and more reports of bedbugs being found, the French government is worried about the problem. Millions of people will be traveling to Paris this summer for the 2024 Olympics. France doesn’t want the country to leave a bad impression by letting its visitors get bitten by bedbugs. No one likes bedbugs, but it’s important to remember that they can be upsetting and leave itchy bites behind, but they do not spread diseases. They’ve been around for thousands of years, and even found in old Egyptian tombs.
After World War II, people began using dangerous chemicals to kill them, which caused bedbugs and many other pests to become much less common. But in the past 20 or 30 years, bedbugs have become common again. For one thing, now many bedbugs aren’t affected by most of the chemicals that used to kill them. Some people think that the bedbugs that are left may be ones that the chemicals don’t work on. For another, people are traveling more these days. Bedbugs can hide in tiny spaces, including inside suitcases. When people bring their suitcases to new places, bedbugs can spread to new areas — or from those areas back home.
In France, bedbugs are a long-standing problem. Jean-Michel Berenger, a scientist who studies insects in Marseille, says, “Every late summer we see a big increase in bedbugs.” That’s mainly from people returning after traveling. And now, in addition to reports of bedbugs in hotels and apartments, there’re also reports of them being found in other places: on seats at movie theaters, on long-distance trains, on the Paris subway, and at the country’s busiest airport. French officials are making sure Paris’ apartments, along with hotels and other places where tourists stay, are safe and clean.
25．Why does the French government start dealing with bedbugs
A．They are spreading diseases. B．They may affect a big event.
C．They bite more and more people. D．They exist in France for too long.
26．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The places where bedbugs often live. B．The ways that bedbugs travel globally.
C．The reasons why bedbugs come back. D．The fact that bedbugs beat chemicals.
27．What’s Jean-Michel’s opinion about bedbugs
A．Bedbugs can be easily got rid of.
B．The bedbug problem is getting worse and worse.
C．Bedbugs live mainly in hotels and apartments.
D．The number of bedbugs decreases sharply in late summer.

Passage 8
（23-24高三上·广东潮州·期末）Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing. Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.
The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that control our lives for a period of time. Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30 years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times. Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can unplug from their digital routine.
Why might you want to take a digital detox Perhaps you find that you are spending longer than you intend on certain apps or that they distract you from more important things. Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying. Constant negative news can also give rise to a lot of stress.
Technology can also have physical effects. Many people experience back or neck pain as a result of bending over screens. The blue light coming from most screens can also affect people’s sleep by preventing production of melatonin (褪黑素).
Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body, mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really important things.
