2023·新课标Ⅱ卷 说明文 330词 ★★☆☆☆
As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I'm often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I've put together some good tips for starting an art journey.
·Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. __1__ You'll want to look back on your journey to see how far you've come.
·Paint often and paint from life. There's no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lives, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. __2__
·Continually challenge yourself to try something new. __3__ Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club；we've all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.
·__4__Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability.
The journey you're on won't follow a straight path. __5__ Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.
A.Get out of your comfort zone.
B．Make career plans and set goals.
C．Don't throw away your beginner art.
D．Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.
E.You'll hit roadblocks, and you'll feel discouraged at times.
F.Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role.
G.You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章介绍了一些开始艺术之旅的好建议。
1．答案与解析：C　根据前文“Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. (从小开始。我建议使用一个素描本进行小规模的学习和实践。这些小的学习和实践可以提供灵感，并成为未来更复杂的作品的跳板)”以及后文“You'll want to look back on your journey to see how far you've come. (你会想要回顾一下自己的艺术之旅，看看自己已经取得多少进步)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，从给出建议使用一个素描本进行小规模的学习和实践，到回顾自己的艺术之旅，所以C项“Don't throw away your beginner art. (不要扔掉你的初学时的艺术作品)”符合文意，和后文形成顺承关系。故选C项。
2．答案与解析：G　分析设空处，位于段尾，是对本段的总结，根据前文“Paint often and paint from life. There's no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lives, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. (经常作画，且从生活中作画。没有什么比不断练习更能提高你的艺术水平了。无论你是绘制静物、肖像还是风景，都要尽可能地从真实生活中去观察和绘制)”可知，本段主要讲述不断练习绘画，所以G项“You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition. (你会逐渐形成只有通过反复练习才能获得的绘画肌肉记忆)”是对前文的总结。故选G项。
3．答案与解析：A　分析设空处，空处位于第二句，此处应是对前一句的进一步解释，并同时引出后文，根据前文“Continually challenge yourself to try something new. (不断挑战自己，尝试新事物)”以及后文“Artistic growth can be a bit painful. (艺术的成长可能会有点痛苦)”可知，A项“Get out of your comfort zone. (走出你的舒适区)”是对前句的进一步说明，和后文构成顺承关系。故选A项。
4．答案与解析：D　分析设空处，位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability. (寻求并接受有建设性的反馈对于你的成长非常重要。我在社交媒体上发布我的作品，并因此结识了一些最友好的人。无论我的艺术水平如何，他们都让我感到受到了重视和尊重)”可知，本段主要讲述了是分享自己的作品，所以D项“Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so. (如果你感觉舒适的话，分享你的作品)”符合文意，是本段的中心句。故选D项。
5．答案与解析：E　分析设空处，空处位于第二句，此处应是对前一句的进一步解释，并同时引出后文，根据前文“The journey you're on won't follow a straight path. (你的旅程不会是一条笔直的道路)”以及后文“Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life. (坚持下去，给它时间，付出努力。你将收获艺术生活的回报)”可知，E项“You'll hit roadblocks, and you'll feel discouraged at times. (你会遇到障碍，有时你会感到气馁)”是对前句的进一步说明，和后文构成顺承关系。故选E项。

答题策略
语法填空——非谓语动词
非谓语动词之间区分步骤实例(3)
例题 Each year just before Ash Wednesday, excited vacationers and locals flood the streets________ (watch) parades and celebrate.
步骤
① 找逻辑主语：vacationers and locals发生watch这一动作，vacationers and locals是逻辑主语
② 判断主被动关系：vacationers and locals与watch之间是逻辑上的主动关系
③ 判断时间关系：watch动作发生在谓语动作flood之后，用to watch
答案,to watch　逻辑主语vacationers and locals与watch之间存在逻辑上的主动关系，watch动作在谓语动词flood动作之后发生，故用其不定式形式to watch作状语，表示目的练习25　阅读理解＋七选五

2024·深圳市调研 说明文 277词 ★★★☆☆
From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family's time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell's laugh out loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I__made__the__mistake__of__introducing__my__family.”
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family's five year stay in Corfu. He is the 10 year old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever calm, loving mother.
Durrell's attention to detail is what makes the book so attractive, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you'll be laughing as Larry's clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil yellow cottage, and the next minute you'll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read, it's the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
【语篇解读】　本文主要向读者推荐了英国作家Gerald Durrell的作品《我的家人和其他动物》，并介绍了其内容、写作风格等。
4．Which word best describes Durrell's life in Corfu
A.Risky. B．Busy.
C．Tough. D．Diverse.
答案与解析：D　推断。明题意：本题问“以下哪个词最好地描述了Durrell在科孚岛的生活？”→寻线索：根据第一段中的“From cottages surrounded...filled with wildlife”可知，书中记录了被花园包围的小屋、沙滩、充满野生生物的树林深处→定答案：据此可以推断，Durrell在科孚岛的生活丰富多彩，故D项正确。
5．What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2
A．I introduced my family by mistake.
B．I shouldn't have introduced my family.
C．I couldn't help introducing my family.
D．I gave wrong information about my family.
答案与解析：C　理解句意。结合画线句前面的“was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history”可知，Durrell的原计划是记录自然历史，实际情况却是写了家人；根据画线句前面的“Durrell wrote humorously”可知，画线句的意思并非其字面意思。因此，Durrell在前面几页描写家人应是故意而为之，故C项与画线句的意义最为接近。
干扰项分析：选项A中的“by mistake”、B中的“shouldn't have introduced”和D中的“wrong”都指向了描写家人是错误的举动，但这些内容均与原文中的“Durrell wrote humorously”的精神相悖，故可全部排除。
6．What are paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about
A．The book's writing feature.
B．Durrell's rich imagination.
C．Some interesting plots of the book.
D．Some vivid descriptions of the island.
答案与解析：A　理解段落主旨要义。根据第四段中的“Durrell's attention to detail is what makes the book...One minute you'll be laughing...the next minute...Durrell describes swimming”和第五段中的“being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language”可知，第四、五段主要讲的是这本书的写作特点，故A项正确。
7．What is the purpose of this text
A．To share an experience.
B．To recommend a book.
C．To introduce a writing style.
D．To describe an unusual place.
答案与解析：B　理解目的。根据本文内容，尤其是最后一段“As a real delight to read...tough road in life”可知，本文的写作目的在于向读者推荐《我的家人和其他动物》这本书，故B项正确。

【语篇解读】　文章主要介绍了四种类型的鞋子所代表的不同态度和风格，提醒人们要根据不同的场合穿不同的鞋子，这样才能给人留下期望的印象。
1．答案与解析：C　分析语境寻线索：根据空前的“The shoes you wear can reflect your style, mood, personality, attitude, and much more. Do you want to leave a strong impression？”可知，空处应回答上文提出的想不想给人留下深刻印象的问题→对比选项定答案：C项“广泛的鞋子收藏能帮到你”符合语境，承接上文，故C项正确。
2．答案与解析：D　根据空后的“From your friend's birthday party...look professional, it is better to avoid these”可知，不管是你朋友的生日聚会还是锻炼，你都可以穿运动鞋。结合常识可知，一般去参加朋友聚会和锻炼时，穿着比较休闲。因此D项“它们与休闲服相配”与下文衔接连贯。D项中的They指代上文Sneakers。
3．答案与解析：F　根据空前的“They work well in personal and professional settings”可知，上文提到了靴子适用于私人和专业场合，故F项“你可以穿一双去办公室甚至去聚会”承接上文，符合语境。
4．答案与解析：G　分析语境寻线索：根据空前的“Heels have been a status symbol since ancient times”和空后的“Kings and queens wore heels to show their high status. Even today, heels represent confidence, bravery, and even a high status”可知，上文提到高跟鞋从古代起便是身份的象征，空后则说国王和王后穿高跟鞋来显示自己很高的地位。再根据上文介绍的不同的鞋子代表的态度可知，空处的内容也应与高跟鞋代表的态度有关→对比选项定答案：G项“它们代表强大的、吸引人的和有影响力的态度”符合语境，故选G项。
5．答案与解析：B　分析文章结构可知，本段应为文章的总结段落。根据空后内容可知，你应该好好检查你的鞋子并穿最合适的鞋，根据情况、环境和所见的人盛装打扮，只有做到这样，你才能通过鞋子给别人留下期望的印象。故此段主要说明鞋子的重要性。故B项“鞋子能说明的比你知道的多”突出了鞋子的重要性，符合语境。

语法填空——连词
考点35 并列连词的应用
考例 Actually, I started to learn kung fu when I was seven years old, ________ I have long been out of practice.

授课提示：对应学生用书11页
　
Ⅰ.单句语法填空 (谓语动词Ⅰ)
1．[2024·湖南长沙雅礼中学期中]If you simply agree in arguments and discussions, you ________ (stand) out from the crowd.
答案与解析：won't stand　句意为：如果你只是在争论和讨论中表示赞同，你就不会脱颖而出。条件状语从句中如果使用一般现在时，主句中应该使用一般将来时。根据语境可知，此处表示否定含义。故填won't stand。
2．[2024·江苏海门一诊]Usually the proverb “great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ” ________ (short) to “great minds think alike”．
答案与解析：is shortened　句意为：谚语“英雄所见略同，但愚者甚少存异”通常被简化为“英雄所见略同”。分析句子成分可知，设空处作谓语，表示前者被简化为后者，且句子描述客观事实，因此用一般现在时的被动语态。主语the proverb是单数，故填is shortened。
3．[2024·广东茂名五校联盟联考]“The more the Chinese know Russians and the more Russians know the Chinese, the stronger our relations will be，” ________ (say) former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev in 2010.
答案与解析：said　句意为：“中国人民对俄罗斯人民了解得越多，且俄罗斯人民对中国人民了解得越多，我们的关系就会越牢固。”俄罗斯前总统德米特里·梅德韦杰夫在2010年说。根据时间状语in 2010可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填said。
4．[2024·四川乐山高中调研]It ________ (report) that 2019 saw more than 60，000 people visit the place.
答案与解析：is/was reported　句意为：据报道，在2019年，有超过60 000人参观过该地。固定句型It is/was reported that...表示“据报道……”；由空后的saw可知，句子可使用一般过去时；也可使用一般现在时，表示对客观情况的描述。故填is/was reported。
5．Furthermore, the amount of sleep ________ (change) greatly over the past 15 years.
答案与解析：has changed　句意为：此外，睡眠时间近15年来已经发生了很大的变化。由时间状语over the past 15 years可知，“变化”已经发生，且表示对现在造成的影响。故用现在完成时。
6．It ________ (grow) into a lifestyle choice of Chinese people using mobile payments throughout their daily activities so far.
答案与解析：has grown　迄今为止，在日常活动中使用手机支付已经成为中国人的一种生活方式的选择。由时间状语so far可知，“成为中国人的一种生活方式的选择”是一个已经发生并且对现在造成影响的行为，故用现在完成时。
7．There ________ (be) several steps before I got that special plastic card.
答案与解析：were　在我得到那个特殊的塑料卡之前有几个步骤。本句为there be句型，be动词后的名词为several steps，所以be动词应用复数形式，结合before引导的从句用一般过去时可知，此处的be动词用were。
8．Previously, equipment for space experiments ________ (be) sent via the cargo spacecraft Tianzhou 1.
答案与解析：was　以前，空间实验设备是通过货运飞船天舟一号运送的。句子的主语equipment是不可数名词，谓语动词应用单数形式，结合时间状语previously可知，句中叙述的是过去发生的动作，故填was。
9．Tom could have finished all the work on his own, but he ________ (refer) to the teacher for help.
答案与解析：referred　Tom本可以独自完成所有的工作的，但他向老师寻求了帮助。could have done表示“过去本可以做却没做”，因此空处是发生过去的动作，需用一般过去时。
10．Unless some extra money ________ (find), the theatre will close.
答案与解析：is found　在if，unless引导的条件状语从句中，条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”的原则，即如果主句是一般将来时，从句需用一般现在时替代一般将来时；又因money与find之间是动宾关系，故空处需用一般现在时的被动语态。

Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). __1__ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. __2__ Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
__3__ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2，672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163，000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. __4__ However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work，” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of “dull”. __5__ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A．I don't often use this dictionary.
B．It takes no account of the context.
C．But I still don't want to replace them.
D．But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E.Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F.That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G.Dictionaries don't always give you enough information.
语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习——词典的使用
【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了作者对于写作中拼写和词典使用的看法及自身的相关习惯等。
1．答案与解析：F　根据上文中的“If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿)(如果你想发表作品，提交一份完美的、专业呈现的手稿是至关重要的)”可知，此处会讲到完美的、专业呈现的手稿是什么样子的，选项F“那意味着语法不错并且没有拼写错误”符合语境。所以选F。
2．答案与解析：B　根据上文中的“I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker(我不信任我笔记本电脑的拼写检查程序)”可知，此处会讲到不信任的原因，选项B“它不考虑上下文”符合语境。所以选B。
3．答案与解析：E　段落主旨句。根据下文中的“It should give you a precise definition of each word...how the word is pronounced(它应该为你提供每个单词的精确定义，从而区分它与其他含义相似但不完全相同的单词。它通常还会显示单词是如何发音的)”可知，该段主要讲述了词典不仅仅提供单词的拼写，还有其他功能。所以选E。
4．答案与解析：A　根据下文中的“However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better(但是，如果我需要核实某个单词的起源或查找其用法示例，就没有比这更好的了)”可知，此处应该讲述作者不怎么使用这本词典。所以选A。
5．答案与解析：D　根据下文中的“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience(花几分钟粗略浏览一两页内容可以是一种令人满意的体验)”可知，选项D“但是，词典也可以是一种令人愉悦的读物”可以与之构成逻辑上的顺承关系。所以选D。

语篇类型：记叙文　主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事——正确的生活态度
【语篇解读】　本文讲述了生活中，他人的成就对作者的激励作用以及消极作用。作者曾经受朋友赢得马拉松比赛的激励而开始跑步，但后来因遇到更厉害的跑步者和感受到跑步的无聊而放弃。后来作者转而骑自行车，但因爬坡的困难和被人超过的打击而放弃。最终，作者意识到目标应针对自身而设。
1．A.knew B．held
C．won D．quit
答案与解析：C　上文中的“I've been motivated—and demotivated—by other folks' achievements all my life”提到作者会因为别人的成就而受到激励。结合下文的“Feeling motivated, I started running”可知，此处是指一个社区的朋友赢得了马拉松比赛，作者因此受到了激励。故用won。quit“退出”。
2．A.regularly B．silently
C．proudly D．recently
答案与解析：A　结合语境和常识可知，作者受到了激励，因此应是开始定期跑步，故用regularly。silently“悄悄地，静静地”；proudly“得意地，自豪地”。
3．A.asking B．looking
C．waiting D．training
答案与解析：D　由下文的“referring to a 52.4 mile double marathon”可知，作者遇到的那个女孩要参加一场52.4英里的马拉松比赛，因此她那时正在为之训练，故用training。
4．A.made B．believed
C．hated D．deserved
答案与解析：C　受到那个女孩的影响，作者第二天就开始跑自己从未跑过的最长距离——15英里。根据下文的“the pure boredom of jogging”可知，作者认为慢跑无比无聊，因此其实作者本身没有跑步的意愿，所以此处是说，老实讲，作者是讨厌跑15英里的，故用hated。deserve“值得，应得”。
5．A.advantage B．achievement
C．contribution D．influence
答案与解析：B　作者遇到的女孩为52.4英里的马拉松比赛训练，而作者在跑15英里的距离，因此对比之下在那个女孩面前作者跑步的成就显得非常渺小，故用achievement。advantage“有利条件，有利因素，优势”；achievement“成就，成绩”；contribution“贡献”；influence“影响”。
6．A.way B．risk
C．place D．reason
答案与解析：D　由上文可知，跑步对作者而言是令人讨厌的、无聊的，因此作者放弃了跑步，决定以后能让自己再次跑步的唯一原因是后面有大狗在追赶，故用reason。risk“危险，风险”。
7．A.gave up B．went on
C．turned to D．dealt with
答案与解析：C　由下文的“I got a good bike and rode a lot”可知，作者买了一辆好的自行车，并骑了很多次，因此作者放弃跑步后把自己的目标转向了骑自行车，故用turned to。give up“放弃”；go on“继续”；deal with“处理”。
8．A.heard B．dreamed
C．complained D．approved
答案与解析：B　结合上文中描述的作者的经历和下文作者放弃了骑行可知，此处表示在骑行方面，作者一开始梦想着参加骑行比赛，直到飞往圣迭戈拜访姐姐。故用dreamed。complain“抱怨”；approve“同意”。
9．A.painted B．borrowed
C．bought D．parked
答案与解析：B　根据空前的“I flew to San Diego to visit my sister. While she was at work one day”和空后的“went for a ride”可知，作者去圣迭戈找姐姐，一天姐姐在上班，作者去骑行了，因此此处是说作者向姐姐借了自行车，故用borrowed。
10．A.problem B．secret
C．principle D．advice
答案与解析：A　由空后的“The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time”可知，那里的道路穿过宽阔的山谷，在那里作者要一次骑好几英里的上坡路；再结合下文的“about 100 ‘local’ bikers who were used to such roads”可知，与当地那些习惯了这种路的人相比，作者不习惯这种路，这种路对作者而言是一个问题。故用problem。principle“原则，原理”。
11．A.dangers B．events
C．opponents D．challenges
答案与解析：D　作者要一次骑好几英里的上坡路，结合常识和下文作者放弃骑自行车可知，此处是在描述作者的困难，所以此处是说作者从来没有遇到过这种挑战，故用challenges。danger“危险，风险”；event“活动，比赛项目”；opponent“对手，竞争者”。
12．A.passed B．convinced
C．admired D．stopped
答案与解析：A　由上文内容和下文的“by about 100 ‘local’ bikers who were used to such roads”可知，作者被熟悉这种路的当地骑行者超过，故用passed。convince“使确信，使相信，使信服”；admire“钦佩，赞赏”。
13．A.reliable B．convenient
C．familiar D．appealing
答案与解析：D　结合上文可知，作者在骑行途中遇到了挑战，又被大约百人超过，作者受挫了，因此骑行对作者来说就没有那么有吸引力了，故用appealing。reliable“可信赖的，可依靠的”；convenient“实用的，便利的”；familiar“熟悉的，常见到的，常听说的”。
14．A.traveled B．matured
C．missed D．worried
答案与解析：B　结合文章最后一句“I've come to accept...be my own”可知，经过跑步和骑行这两件事情，作者已经逐渐相信目标应是为自己而设的，因此作者成长了、成熟了，故用matured。
15．A.limits B．dates
C．goals D．tests
答案与解析：C　综合全文可知，在跑步和骑行这两件事情上，作者均受到了他人成就的影响，但结果都失败了，故此处是说自那之后作者逐渐相信不管为自己设定什么目标，这些目标都要是为自己而设的。故用goals。limit“限制”。

【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了甲骨文的发掘、人们对它的认知及其承载的重大文化意义。
1．答案与解析：traditional　形容词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰后面的名词“Chinese medicines”，应用形容词，所以空处填traditional。
2．答案与解析：was followed　动词的时态、语态主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，follow在本句中作谓语。结合本段的语境可知，时态用一般过去时；主语The discovery与谓语follow之间是被动关系；主语The discovery为第三人称单数。所以空处填was followed。
3．答案与解析：out　介词。此处考查固定表达carry out，意为“实行；开展；实施”。
4．答案与解析：recognized　非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句的谓语动词是has been built，空处在句中作非谓语，与逻辑主语the Yinxu之间是动宾关系，所以空处填recognized。
5．答案与解析：and　连词。分析句子结构可知，空处连接空前空后的动词explore和trace，二者同作helped的宾语，所以空处填and。句意：发现甲骨文和铭文有助于探索夏商文化，追踪中华文明起源。
6．答案与解析：that/which　定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰表示物的先行词other core Chinese values，关系词在从句中作主语，所以空处填that/which。
7．答案与解析：appeals/has appealed　动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作谓语。根据语境可知，此处说明了一种客观事实，时态用一般现在时；结合上一句的时态，本句也可以用现在完成时；主语It (The content of the inscriptions)与appeal之间是主动关系，且It是第三人称单数。所以空处填appeals/has appealed。appeal to sb.“吸引某人”。
8．答案与解析：featuring　非谓语动词。空处位于介词by后，故应用动名词形式作宾语，所以空处填featuring。
9．答案与解析：clues　名词复数。clue “线索”，是可数名词。根据主语they和句意可知，线索不止一条，且其前无限定词，故此处应用名词复数，所以空处填clues。
10．答案与解析：it　代词。分析句子结构可知，空处作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语“to communicate...foreigners”，所以空处填it。

2024·深圳市高三调研 议论文 365词 ★★★☆☆
When put to tests, bees have long proved that they've got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉), making honey and being loyal to a queen. The hard working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London performed an experiment, in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with some small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent incentive (刺激) to do so”．
Earlier studies have shown that the black and yellow bugs are willing to learn new tricks in exchange for food or other rewards. In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seem to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals (哺乳动物) and birds，” said Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study.
The study's first author, Samadi Galpay, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, states that it is more evident that bees may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kinds of positive emotional states, even if they're basic, like other larger animals do. This finding has effects on our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more，”she says.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了伦敦玛丽女王大学的科学家们发现了蜜蜂也喜欢玩耍的证据。
4．What is the new finding about bees
A．They are fond of having fun.
B．They are faithful to the queen.
C．They are adaptable to changes.
D．They are skilled at rolling balls.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play”可知，新的研究发现蜜蜂喜欢玩耍，故A项正确。
5．How did scientists remove external influences in the experiment
A．By teaching bees new tricks.
B．By rewarding bees with food.
C．By making bees feel at home.
D．By building new homes for bees.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第三段中的“to get rid of external factors...environment was stress free”可知，为了移除外部因素的影响，科学家们保证蜜蜂已适应它们的新家，并让环境毫无压迫感，故C项“通过让蜜蜂感觉无拘无束”正确。
6．What are Lars Chittka's words mainly about
A．The forms of bees' interaction.
B．The complexity of bees' minds.
C．The examples of mammals' play.
D．The purpose of mammals' enjoyment.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第四段中Lars Chittka所说的话尤其是“This research...insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine”可知，Lars Chittka所说的话主要讲的是蜜蜂的大脑很复杂，后面提到哺乳动物和鸟类，还是为了说明蜜蜂的大脑远比我们想象得要复杂，故B项正确。
7．What does Samadi Galpay say about the study result
A．It backs up prior understanding of insects.
B．It reveals reasons for bees' positive feelings.
C．It drives research on animals' emotional states.
D.It contributes to wildlife conservation on Earth.
答案与解析：D　推断。根据最后一段中Samadi Galpay所说的话中的“This finding has effects on...encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more”可知，Samadi Galpay认为研究结果可以鼓励我们尊重和保护地球野生生物，故D项正确。练习34　语法填空＋阅读理解

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了患有脊髓性肌萎缩的计算机科学家楼印根的病情、学术之路，以及他在为残疾人发声上所做的努力等。
1．答案与解析：called　分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作非谓语，构成非谓语动词短语作genetic disorder的后置定语。call与其逻辑主语genetic disorder之间是动宾关系，所以空处填called。句意：楼印根是一位计算机科学家和倡导者，他生来就患有一种叫作脊髓性肌萎缩(SMA)的罕见遗传性疾病，它会影响用于移动身体的肌肉。
2．答案与解析：completely　分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的形容词paralyzed，应用副词，所以空处填completely。
3．答案与解析：challenges　根据空前的these可知，challenge在此作名词，且应用复数形式，所以空处填challenges。
4．答案与解析：where　分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是表示地点的名词Massachusetts Institute of Technology，从句中缺少地点状语，所以空处填关系副词where。
5．答案与解析：has become　分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作谓语。根据时间状语By now可知，时态用现在完成时；主语Benjamin和become之间是主动关系；主语Benjamin是第三人称单数，所以空处填has become。
6．答案与解析：awareness　此处考查固定表达raise awareness about，意为“提高对……的意识”，所以空处填awareness。句意：到目前为止，楼印根已经成为一个能够鼓舞残疾人人心的人物，他利用自己的经历提高人们对获得技术的重要性的认识，并倡导使数字工具对残疾人更有用的政策。
7．答案与解析：developing　分析句子结构可知，空处作介词on的宾语，所以空处填developing。
8．答案与解析：to　此处考查固定表达in addition to，意为“除……之外”。句意：除了他在技术方面的工作，楼印根还是残疾人权利的热情倡导者。他利用自己的平台挑战刻板印象，促进人们对残疾人生活的理解。
9．答案与解析：to accept　此处考查固定表达encourage sb. to do sth.，意为“鼓励某人做某事”。
10．答案与解析：a　空处修饰名词society, 且名词前有形容词修饰。根据句意可知，此处表泛指，more的发音以辅音音素开头，所以空处填不定冠词a。句意：通过他的写作和演讲活动，他希望鼓励其他人接受他们的差异，并努力为所有人创造一个更具包容性的社会。

2024·沈阳市质检 应用文 293词 ★★★☆☆
I'm in the area of Noailles in Marseille, one of France's largest cities and its main trade seaport. Some small shops sell vegetables, meat, and, it seems, all the spices of the Middle East. In addition to French, languages spoken on the busy streets include Arabic and African French. It all adds up to one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe.
Close to the downtown street, I discover an Algerian restaurant, whose owner makes his signature dish—couscous with barley, not the usual wheat, using a recipe that hasn't changed since the 1920s. Couscous is an necessary part of Marseille culture. The dish was added to the UNESCO's Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020.
To be honest, before I travelled here, couscous had not been the first meal that came to mind when I thought of Marseille. It was bouillabaisse, the rich soup with olive oil, garlic and saffron. I imagined enjoying it at a small portside cafe. This was clearly a romantic fantasy. For one thing, there are no small cafes at the historic city. For another, the restaurants do serve bouillabaisse, but when I see the price at one place I am shocked: 69 euros! No bowl of soup should cost that much.
I give up and end up two streets away from the old harbor in a new restaurant, Ourea. For 28 euros, Chef Mathieu Roche serves a three course lunch that includes tuna steaks and couscous.
More and more young, talented people are discovering that Marseille is an ideal place to live. There is also a growing number of Parisians moving here every year. Tired of the rush and expense of life in larger cities, the newcomers come looking for the more relaxed Mediterranean way of life. Walking through these contrasting neighborhoods of Marseille, I think about the distinct communities here living in the same neighborhoods—together, side by side, but not mixed. They may also feel they belong to Marseille first regardless of nationalities.
【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了法国城市马赛，并讲述了作者在那里旅行的经历。
1．Which word can best describe Marseille according to the first paragraph
A．Remote. B．Commercial.
C．Industrial. D．Inland.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“根据第一段，哪个词最能描述马赛？”→寻线索：根据第一段中的“I'm in the area...spices of the Middle East”可知，马赛是法国最大的城市之一，也是其主要贸易地区，这里的一些商店出售蔬菜、肉类，似乎还有各种中东香料→定答案：由此可知，马赛是商业化城市。
2．What made the author leave the Algerian restaurant
A．The unreasonable charge.
B．The unbearable flavor.
C．The unsatisfying service.
D．The noisy atmosphere.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据第三段中的“For another, the...should cost that much”可知，这里的餐厅确实供应浓味鱼汤，但竟然卖到69欧元；一碗汤不应该那么贵。据此可知，作者离开那家阿尔及利亚饭馆是因为店里的鱼汤太贵了，即收费不合理。
3．Why do the newcomers choose Marseille rather than other big cities
A．To make a fortune.
B．To experience a dish.
C．To learn a language.
D．To live a leisurely life.
答案与解析：D　理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“新来者为何选择马赛而不是其他大城市？”→寻线索：根据第五段中的“Tired of the rush...way of life”可知，厌倦了大城市生活的匆忙和高昂的生活成本，新来者来到马赛寻找更轻松的地中海生活方式→定答案：由此可知，新来者选择马赛是为了过一种轻松悠闲的生活。
4．In which column of a magazine can we probably read the text
A．Fashion. B．Food.
C．Trade. D．Travel.
答案与解析：D　理解文章出处。通读全文可知，文章重点介绍了法国城市马赛及作者在那里旅行的经历。根据第五段中的“More and more young...moving here every year”可知，越来越多有才华的年轻人发现马赛是一个理想的居住地，每年也有越来越多的巴黎人搬到这里，故本文也介绍了马赛的吸引人之处。综上可知，这篇文章可能出自杂志的旅游专栏。

Have you ever seen one of the many videos of an elephant grabbing a paintbrush, putting it in paint, and producing a painting similar to something a 5 year old could create While watching an elephant paint is an amazing sight, we can't help but wonder whether the training methods and results reflect animal cruelty.
A 2014 study on four captive (被圈养的) Asian elephants at the Melbourne Zoo in Australia sought to identify stress related behaviors around the activity of painting. While the researchers found that the elephants had a neutral response to painting—not stressful, nor enriching—it seemed that when an elephant was not selected to paint, it displayed non interactive behavior. This is seen as a possible signal of stress in the animals.
In addition, PETA, a famous animal rights group, has cited several American zoos that use harmful training methods to get elephants to paint, perform tricks, play instruments, and more. Not every zoo that organizes elephant painting uses aggression (攻击) to encourage the elephants. However, PETA argues that animal shelters should not force animals to do tricks at all.
Activist organizations warn that elephants can undergo extreme discomfort in the training process. Furthermore, many of the painting elephants are very young, at an age where they should still be with their mothers. It raises questions about whether there's a chance that they were caught for the express purpose of performing, or if they could somehow be restored to a return to the wild.
It is difficult to support any kind of trained behavior that differs greatly from a wild animal's natural tendencies. The role of a shelter, ideally, is to allow an animal to live as close to its normal life as possible, perhaps with an eye to returning the animal to the wild; teaching them to paint does not seem to align__with that target, particularly if it's not a learned behavior that the animal would be willing to do independently.
【语篇解读】　文章从大象画画入手，谈论了训练动物的方法和结果，实际上从另一方面反映了对动物的虐待。
5．What can be safely concluded from the 2014 study
A.Researchers didn't collect solid evidence.
B．Painting promoted elephants' interaction.
C．Negative effects of painting were confirmed.
D．Elephants made strong responses to painting.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“从2014年的研究中可以得出什么可靠的结论？”→寻线索：根据第二段中的“A 2014 study on four...the researchers found that the elephants had a neutral response to painting”可知，研究人员想发现与绘画活动有关的与压力相关的行为，但发现大象对绘画的反应是无倾向性的→定答案：由此可知，研究人员在2014年的研究中并没有得到可靠的证据来证明大象的绘画活动与压力相关的行为有关，故选A。文中的neutral是解题的关键，意为“无倾向性的，中立的”。
6．What is a concern of activist organizations
A．Complexity of the training process.
B．Purposes of elephants' performance.
C．Daily activities of captive elephants.
D．Potential for elephants' return to nature.
答案与解析：D　理解具体信息。根据第四段的内容，尤其是“if they could somehow be restored to a return to the wild”可知，积极分子组织关注的是大象回归自然的可能性，故选D。
7．What does the underlined phrase “align with” in the last paragraph mean
A．Wander off. B．Set up.
C．Consist with. D．Go against.
答案与解析：C　理解词汇。最后一段中的“The role of a shelter...perhaps with an eye to returning the animal to the wild”指的是收容所的目标是让动物尽可能接近其正常生活或者也许是为了让动物回归野外，而教它们画画似乎与这个目标不一致，由此可知，画线词组意为“一致”，故选C。wander off “漫步”； set up “搭建”； consist with “符合，与……一致”； go against “违背”。
8．What might be the best title for the text
A．How PETA Helps
B．Why People Right Animals
C．Should Elephants Paint
D．Should Elephants live in captivity
答案与解析：C　理解文章主旨要义。文章第一段通过大象画画介绍了训练动物的方法和结果，从而引出对动物的虐待这一话题，后文围绕这一话题展开讨论，故选项C最适合作文章标题。

2024·昆明市高三质检 说明文 333词 ★★☆☆☆
An Arizona aquarium is celebrating the hatching of three endangered African penguin chicks, saying the tiny additions are genetically valuable as zoos and aquariums around the world work to ensure the species' survival through breeding (培育) programs and conservation efforts.
Officials at OdySea Aquarium made the announcement on Friday, posting the video of the cute birds on social media. They hatched a few weeks ago and will remain behind the scenes with their parents until they're ready for a public appearance.
African penguins have suffered a massive population decline over the decades and are listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. So any successful hatching is cause for celebration, said Jessica Peranteau, director of animal training and education at the aquarium.
“As the population of the African penguin continues to rapidly decline—down 23% in the past two years alone—OdySea Aquarium remains committed to the survival of the species in partnership with Association of Zoos and Aquariums，” Peranteau said in a statement. The breeding program established by the organization aims to build up a gene bank for the species.
Officials say two of the three new chicks in Scottsdale were born to parents Mojo and Lemieux—a power couple of sorts that was selected for pairing as part of the breeding program. The third chick was born to first time parents Bubbles and Weasley.
Aquarium workers will regularly conduct “chick checks”， brief exams to monitor their growth and development and ensure they are hitting all necessary milestones. The three chicks have yet to be named, and their sex hasn't yet been determined. For now they're known by their numbers, 42，43 and 44. In all, OdySea Aquarium now has 40 African penguins and has recorded 13 successful hatching.
【语篇解读】　本文通过OdySea水族馆庆祝成功孵化三只濒危的非洲企鹅引出话题，讲述非洲企鹅数量锐减，OdySea水族馆与Association of Zoos and Aquariums为该物种的生存而努力。
1．How did OdySea Aquarium announce the birth of the chicks
A．By advertising its breeding program.
B．By uploading a video of them online.
C．By holding a contest to name them.
D．By offering a free visit to the zoo.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第二段中的“Officials at OdySea Aquarium made the announcement on Friday, posting the video of the cute birds on social media”可知，水族馆的工作人员将孵化出的可爱的企鹅幼鸟的视频发布到网上，宣布三只企鹅幼鸟的诞生。故B项正确。
2．What is special about OdySea Aquarium
A．It works on its own to protect penguins.
B．It aims to create new habitats for penguins.
C．It has hatched 40 African penguins so far.
D．It focuses on the survival of the penguins.
答案与解析：D　理解具体信息。根据第四段中的“‘As the population of the African penguin...in partnership with Association of Zoos and Aquariums，’ Peranteau said in a statement”可知，OdySea水族馆与Association of Zoos and Aquariums为非洲企鹅的生存做出努力，所以该水族馆关注非洲企鹅的生存。故D项正确。
3．What can we learn about the three penguin chicks
A．They were born to the same parents.
B．They were raised by a power couple.
C．Their gender has been identified.
D．Their growth is monitored closely.
答案与解析：D　推断。根据尾段中的“Aquarium workers will regularly conduct ‘chick checks’， brief exams to monitor their growth and development and ensure they are hitting all necessary milestones”可知，水族馆工作人员定期对这三只企鹅幼鸟进行检查，通过简单的检查来监测它们的成长和发育。由此可推断，这三只幼鸟在密切监测下成长。故D项正确。
4．What is the text mainly about
A．Endangered penguin chicks hatch at OdySea Aquarium.
B．Penguin chicks make their first appearance in public.
C．African penguins suffer a sharp decline in populations.
D．Newly born penguins are taken good care of in zoos.
答案与解析：A　理解文章主旨要义。根据首段的内容可知，本文通过OdySea水族馆庆祝成功孵化三只濒危的非洲企鹅引出话题，围绕非洲企鹅的数量锐减、OdySea水族馆与Association of Zoos and Aquariums为该物种的生存所做出的一系列努力展开讲述。由此可知，A项“濒危的企鹅幼鸟在OdySea水族馆孵化”最能概括本文的主旨。

2024·牡丹江月考 议论文 298词 ★★☆☆☆
Most of us will be familiar with the traditional talent show set up: thousands of hopefuls line up outside the audition (试音) room, wait for hours to go in and perform for a group of judges. Then these potential pop stars could be lucky and get through to the next round, or they might hear the command, “Sorry, it's a no from me.” But what do the judges actually bring to a talent show
Music talent show judges attract millions of viewers each week to their programs. As public figures, they play an important part in advertising campaigns for these programs. They often receive high salaries and can be moody. Are they really worth the expenses and difficulties that they can cause One solution might be to replace them with computers.
Can computers really match human judges Scientist Dr Nick Collins and his team at the University of Sussex think they can. Dr Collins has been working on a project that involves programming three computerized judges that he says would be far more consistent in their judgment of musical performances. Employing a special programming language, Dr Collins's digital judges can be trained up by “listening” to particular musical styles. After they have been listening for a while, the programming language allows these judges to spot the specific features of the music, including the voice quality, the rhythm etc. Collins says, “The judges' listening capacity is not yet as good as a human ear, but they won't be as moody as some human reality TV show judges.”
Maybe that is the problem with this electronic musical innovation. Real human judges on talent shows interest us with their personality, decisions and catchy phrases. Will a computer program be able to do the same
5．The arrangements of the traditional talent show are described in Paragraph 1 to ________．
A．find out more potential pop stars
B．show the popularity of the talent show
C．make people familiar with the talent show
D．bring up the topic of talent show judges
答案与解析：D　根据第一段中的“But what do the judges actually bring to a talent show？”可知，提到传统才艺表演是为了引出裁判这个话题。D项正确。
6．What is the key message conveyed in Paragraph 2
A．Music talent shows are very competitive.
B．Music talent shows cost too much money.
C．There are some problems with talent show judges.
D．There are too many advertisements in talent show programs.
答案与解析：C　根据第二段中的“They often receive high salaries and can be moody. Are they really worth the expenses and difficulties that they can cause？One solution might be to replace them with computers.”可知，才艺表演的裁判存在着一些问题，因此才会让计算机取代裁判。C项正确。
7．How does Collins think about his computerized judges
A．They can listen as well as human ears.
B．They will be welcomed by the public.
C．They will be perfect for any talent show.
D．They can judge more fairly than human judges.
答案与解析：D　根据第三段中的“The judges' listening capacity is not yet as good as a human ear，but they won't be as moody as some human reality TV show judges.”可知，Collins认为这些计算机化的裁判不会像人这么情绪化，因此更为公平。D项正确。
8．What's the author 's opinion about replacing real human judges with computerized ones
A．Doubtful. B．Interested.
C．Satisfied. D．Optimistic.
答案与解析：A　根据最后一段中的“Real human judges on talent shows interest us with their personality，decisions and catchy phrases. Will a computer program be able to do the same？”可知，作者认为计算机裁判可能会在个性、决策和幽默词语方面使人兴趣减少。因此，作者对计算机裁判是持怀疑态度的。A项正确。

1．[2024·广东深圳中学期中]In any unsafe situation, simply press the button ________ one of our highly trained hotel staff will get you the help you need.
答案与解析：and　句意为：在任何不安全的情况下，只要按下按钮，我们酒店的一名训练有素的员工就会为您提供您需要的帮助。“祈使句＋and/or＋陈述句”句型中，如果祈使句表示的条件句是肯定句，应使用连词and；如果祈使句表示的条件句是否定句，应使用连词or。根据句意可知，此处的祈使句表示肯定。故填and。
2．[2024·江苏南通期末]I did not understand all of the traditional customs, ________ a few made a deep impression on me.
答案与解析：but/yet　句意为：我并不了解所有的传统习俗，但有一些习俗给我留下了深刻的印象。分析句子结构可知，空处前后是两个并列句，所以空处应用并列连词，根据句意可知，前后两个分句之间为转折关系，应用表示转折关系的连词but/yet，故填but/yet。
3．[2024·陕西宝鸡模拟]She said, “It is out of my expectations ________ we can have a delivery service here.”
答案与解析：that　句意为：她说：“真是出乎我的意料，我们这里居然有送货服务。”分析句子结构可知， It为形式主语，设空处引导的主语从句为真正主语，空处在从句中无实际意义且不充当成分，应用that。故填that。
4．It is your choice! ________ you come to my place ________ I go to yours.
答案与解析：Either; or　要么你来我这里，要么我去你那里，一切听你的。 either... or...“要么……要么……”，符合句意。

7．Another important quality I should have is a warm personality which means that I should be friendly and ________ I must never be impolite to people.
答案与解析：that　我应该有的另一个重要的品质是一种温和的个性，这意味着我应该是友好的，并且永远不能对人不礼貌。which means后为两个并列的宾语从句，and后为第二个宾语从句，从句不缺少成分，应用that连接。因and连接两个宾语从句，第二个that不可省略。故填that。
8．You don't know ________ a letter like that means to me.
答案与解析：what　句意为：你不知道那样一封信对我来说意味着什么。动词know后为宾语从句。从句中means后缺少宾语，故填what。
9．With time going by, ________ once seemed vital in our life is no longer as important now.
答案与解析：what　随着时间的流逝，在我们生活中那些曾经看起来很重要的东西现在已经不那么重要了。设空处引导主语从句，在从句中作主语，指事物，故填what。
10．I was in such a hurry that I paid no attention to ________ or not the milk was hot.
答案与解析：whether　我太匆忙了以至于没有注意到牛奶是否是热的。to为介词，后面句子为宾语从句，与or not连用的连接词为whether，表示“是否”。故填whether。

2024·新课标Ⅰ卷，B 记叙文 291词 ★★★☆☆
“I am not crazy，” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh. He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine—combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well，” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That's my job.”
语篇类型：记叙文　主题语境：人与自然——人与动物——中西医结合治疗动物
【语篇解读】　美国兽医William Farber因背痛尝试中医针灸治疗，之后病症得到缓解，然后他把针灸、按摩疗法、草药和传统西医治疗相结合用于治疗动物。
4．What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him
A.He's odd. B．He's strict.
C．He's brave. D．He's rude.
答案与解析：A　理解观点、态度。根据第一段中的“some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods”可知，Farber的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的治疗方法，再结合第一段中Farber的话“I am not crazy”可知，Farber的一些同事认为他很奇怪。故选A项。B项“他严格”；C项“他勇敢”；D项“他粗鲁”。
5．Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets
A．He was trained in it at university.
B．He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C．He benefited from it as a patient.
D．He wanted to save money for pet owners.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第二段中的“He became interested in alternative treatments...What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients”可知，Farber尝试针灸治疗之后背痛得到了缓解，所以他认为针灸治疗似乎也可以应用到宠物身上，也就是说他自己作为病人从针灸治疗中获得了益处，所以决定把针灸应用到宠物身上。故选C。A项“他在大学受过针灸训练”；B项“他受到了另一位兽医的启发”；D项“他想为宠物主人省钱”。
6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．Steps of a chiropractic treatment.
B．The complexity of veterinarians' work.
C．Examples of rare animal diseases.
D．The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
答案与解析：D　理解段落主旨要义。本段主要介绍了两个动物经过Farber的治疗后，病情有所好转。由此可知，本段主要介绍了Farber的“针灸、按摩疗法、草药和传统西医治疗相结合”的整体医学所取得的效果。故选D。A项“按摩疗法的步骤”；B项“兽医工作的复杂性”；C项“罕见动物疾病示例”。
7．Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
A．To prove Farber's point.
B．To emphasize its importance.
C．To praise veterinarians.
D．To advocate animal protection.
答案与解析：A　理解目的。根据题干中的“American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association”可将答案定位至最后一段。“Since 1982...grown from 30 to over 700”具体解释上文中的“the past”，所以作者提到该组织是为了证明冒号前所说的“he may be right”，即为了证明Farber的观点是正确的。故选A。B项“为了强调它的重要性”；C项“为了赞扬兽医”；D项“为了提倡动物保护”。

10．答案与解析：wished　考查动词时态。句意：作为一个小女孩，我希望长大后成为一名动物园管理员。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以wish作本句谓语，和主语I之间是主动关系，根据后文的grew可知用一般过去时。故填wished。

2024·昆明市质检 说明文 274词 ★★☆☆☆
One Alabama school was extremely creative in encouraging students to read more and to help improve the school district's literacy. They added an Inchy's Bookworm Vending Machine, an actual vending machine that allows students to add a special coin and get a brand new book.
Sixth grade reading teacher Kristy White said students have been inspired to earn coins so they can get a new book. Every classroom has coins, and students can earn them by improving in their reading or math skills or exhibiting good behavior.
Kristy said it only takes one coin to use the machine. Nice! What's even nicer is there are books for all grade levels and students even make suggestions for titles they'd like to see available. Funding for the vending machine came from community support through donations and grants.
Lucy Williamson was the first student to use the machine. The sixth grader said she can see the growing excitement of her fellows and she looks forward to getting even more books. “This has some different books that the library doesn't have and I'm able to keep the book longer because it's mine so I have more time to read it，” Lucy said. She also shared that she rereads books often, so being able to choose a book that she can take home is a real plus.
Beyond reading, the vending machine has also encouraged students to behave better. And when a student gets a coin everyone celebrates the win. “The students are thrilled when they are the students who get the coin that week. They come down here and other students cheer for them，” Kristy said.
We're cheering for them, too! This is such a unique way to motivate students. Reading is so fundamental that it really serves as the foundation for all other learning. This vending machine is just one way to help students succeed.

2024·三明一中月考 记叙文 341词 ★★☆☆☆
“I saw it first，” Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlie's hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn't want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside.
“There's got to be a million dollars here！” Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. “More like thousands，” she said, her voice shaking in disbelief.
They'd found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn't talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.
They finally reached Amy's house, but instead of going inside, they walked around the house to the back porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total was $2，400—more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. Who lost it Their moods shifted, sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. In the wallet's clear plastic compartment, there was a driver's license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.
5．Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet
A．In an alley.
B．In a backpack.
C．On the sidewalk.
D．Among some flowers.
答案与解析：D　根据第三段中的“They'd found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk”可知，他们在人行道上的花圃里捡到的钱包。D项正确。
6．In Paragraph 2, why was Amy's voice shaking
A．She was afraid that they would be seen by others.
B．She was disappointed there wasn't a million dollars.
C．She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone else.
D．She felt nervous because she'd never seen so much money.
答案与解析：D　根据最后一段中的“The total was $2，400—more money than either of them had ever seen.”可知，钱包里的钱很多，超出了她们俩的想象。结合第二段中的“‘More like thousands，’ she said, her voice shaking in disbelief.”可知，Amy的声音发抖是因为钱包里的钱对她来说数额巨大。D项正确。
7．How did the children's mood changed on their way to Amy's house
A．From happy to angry.
B．From relieved to worried.
C．From excited to skeptical.
D．From nervous to disappointed.
答案与解析：C　根据第三段中的“As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money”和“For the last block, however, they didn't talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.”可知，两个人首先是非常兴奋，最后不说话了，开始猜疑。C项正确。
8．What did the children decide to do at the end of the story
A．To keep the money a secret from others.
B．To return the wallet to its rightful owner.
C．To put the wallet back where they found it.
D．To buy many different things with the money.
答案与解析：B　根据最后一段中的“In the wallet's clear plastic compartment, there was a driver's license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.”可知，她俩在钱包里发现了驾驶执照。她们知道该把钱包交还失主。虽然她们会失去新发现的财宝，但在某种程度上，她们感到放心了。B项正确。

2024·石家庄质检Ⅱ 说明文 281词 ★★★★☆
Many owners of electric cars have wished for a battery pack that could power their vehicle for more than a thousand miles on a single charge. Researchers have developed a lithium air battery that could make that dream a reality. The new battery design could also one day power airplanes and trucks. The main new component in this lithium air battery is a solid electrolyte (电解质) instead of the usual liquid variety.
Batteries with solid electrolytes are not subject to safety problems with the liquid electrolytes used in lithium ion and other battery types, which can overheat and catch fire. More importantly, the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy four times, which translates into longer driving range.
For over a decade, scientists have been working overtime to develop a lithium (锂) battery that makes use of the oxygen in air. The lithium air battery has the highest energy of any battery technology being considered for the next generation of batteries beyond lithium ion.
The new solid electrolyte is composed of a material made from relatively inexpensive elements, compared with the past designs. Besides, the chemical reaction in lithium ion only involves one or two electrons stored per oxygen molecule (分子), while that for the lithium air battery involves four electrons. More electrons stored means higher energy.
The new design is the first lithium air battery that has achieved a four electron reaction at room temperature. It also operates with oxygen supplied by air from the surrounding environment. The capability to run with air avoids the need for oxygen tanks to operate, a problem with earlier designs.
“With further development, we expect our new design for the lithium air battery to reach a record of 1，200 watt hours per kilogram，” said Curtiss, a researcher. “That is nearly four times better than lithium ion batteries.”
【语篇解读】　本文介绍了研究人员已经开发出一种锂空气电池，可以有朝一日为飞机和卡车提供动力。
1．What contributes most to the lithium air battery
A．Lithium ion. B．Oxygen molecules.
C．Solid electrolytes. D．Liquid components.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第一段尾句可知，锂空气电池主要的新成分是固体电解质；根据第二段的内容可知，有固体电解质的电池不存在安全问题。更重要的是，固体电解质可能会将能量提高四倍，这意味着更长的行驶里程。由此可知，对锂空气电池贡献最大的是固体电解质。故选C项。
2．What's the problem with lithium ion batteries
A．They burn easily if overheated.
B．They are unsafe in production.
C．They damage the environment.
D．They require longer charging time.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据第二段中的“lithium ion and other... overheat and catch fire”可知，锂离子电池容易过热且着火。故选A项。
3．How does the author organize Paragraph 4
A．By giving examples.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By presenting statistics.
D．By analyzing cause and effect.
答案与解析：B　理解写作手法。明题意：本题问“作者是如何组织第四段的？”→寻线索：根据第四段中的“The new solid electrolyte... compared with the past designs”可知，与过去的设计相比，新的固体电解质由相对便宜的成分制成；本段第二句中while表示前后两种情况的对比→定答案：由此可知，作者是用比较的方法来写第四段的。故选B项。
4．What is the best title of the text
A．How Lithium air Batteries Work
B．What Will Be Used to Power Airplanes
C．Electric Cars Are Becoming More Popular
D．New Batteries Offer Longer Driving Range
答案与解析：D　理解文章主旨要义。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了研究人员已经开发出一种锂空气电池，讲述了该电池的主要成分、与旧的锂离子电池相比该电池的优点——无锂离子电池等存在的安全问题且行驶里程更长等。故选D项。

2023·全国甲卷 说明文 310词 ★★★☆☆
Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche—we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re occupying large areas of their former range，” says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven't been seen in a century or more, they're increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the U．S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50，000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2，000 or more grizzly bears in the U．S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U．S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de list grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren't taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits，” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文，讲述了美国灰熊从濒危物种恢复到2 000多头，但也带来了一些问题。
5．How do Americans look at grizzlies
A．They cause mixed feelings in people.
B．They should be kept in national parks.
C．They are of high scientific value.
D．They are a symbol of American culture.
答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche—we revere them even as they give us frightening dreams. (灰熊可以长到2.5米长，体重超过400公斤，在美国人的心理中占据着一个矛盾的角落——即使它们给我们带来可怕的梦，我们也敬畏它们)”可知，美国人对灰熊既有害怕，又有敬畏，他们的情感是混合的。故选A项。
6．What has helped the increase of the grizzly population
A．The European settlers' behavior.
B．The expansion of bears' range.
C．The protection by law since 1975.
D．The support of Native Americans.
答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act. (1975年，灰熊被列入《濒危物种法》)”以及第四段“Today, there are about 2, 000 or more grizzly bears in the U．S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U．S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de list grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. (如今，美国大约有2 000只或更多的灰熊。它们的恢复非常成功，以至于美国鱼类和野生动物管理局两次试图将灰熊从名单上除名，这将放松对灰熊的法律保护，允许它们被猎杀)”可推知，由于1975年起受法律保护，灰熊的数量有了增长。故选C项。
7．What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from de listing grizzlies
A．The opposition of conservation groups.
B．The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C．The voice of the biologists.
D．The local farmers' advocates.
答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第四段中“Today, there are about 2，000 or more grizzly bears in the U．S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U．S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de list grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed. (如今，美国大约有2 000只或更多的灰熊。它们的恢复非常成功，以至于美国鱼类和野生动物管理局两次试图将灰熊从名单上除名，这将放松对灰熊的法律保护，允许它们被猎杀。由于环保组织的诉讼，这两项努力都被推翻了。目前，灰熊仍在名单上)”可知，是环保组织的反对阻止了美国鱼类和野生动物管理局将灰熊从濒危物种名单上除名。故选A项。
8．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B．People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C．A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D.Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Obviously, if precautions aren't taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. ‘Our hope is to have a clean, attractant free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits，’ says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula. (显然，如果不采取预防措施，灰熊会变得很麻烦，有时会杀死农场动物，或者在院子里寻找食物。如果人们把食物和引诱剂从他们的院子和露营地移走，灰熊通常会安然通过。在鸡舍和其他农场动物生活区周围设置电动围栏也能有效地赶走灰熊。‘我们希望有一个干净，没有诱饵的地方，熊可以通过，而不会养成坏习惯，’詹姆斯·琼克尔说，他是一位长期管理米苏拉及其周围熊的生物学家)”可推知，灰熊数量增长，虽然会带来一些麻烦，但是如果采取一些预防措施，人和灰熊可以和谐相处。故选B项。

McMath is a junior at Beechwood High School. He was in the cast of “Tom Sawyer” when it was first performed and is a Children's Theatre regular, with five shows to his credit. This summer he attended Kentucky's Governor's School for the Arts in Musical Theatre.

2023·全国乙卷 记叙文 293词 ★★★☆☆
Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10 minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.
One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil's Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.

2024·福州市质检 说明文 320词 ★★☆☆☆
It's always exciting to begin a new job. But among the frenzy(极度激动)of meeting new colleagues, starting new projects, and building new skills, there can be a stressful pressure to succeed. A big part of your success is determined by how quickly you are able to digest lots of information, which can be very hard. __1__.
*Manage yourself
When you notice information overload, don't ignore it and don't panic. Say to yourself, “I'm in a new job and there is plenty to learn here. It's okay to feel this way.”__2__. Remember that emotions can help you better understand yourself and your values.
*Sort your information
__3__． It keeps what it needs more immediately in our short term memory, and it mixes together information we may need to use in the future to store in our long term memory. For the information that's not needed, our brain acts like a garbage management, recycling and deleting it.
*__4__
Organizations often have digital knowledge management systems to store and take important information. You can do the same to reduce brain burden. I recommend creating a Word document in which you write down information that your brain doesn't need to remember or store.
*Reduce task switching
Multitasking isn't good for you physically or mentally and is worse for your productivity and cognition (认知). __5__. You can go for longer than that, but be sure to take a break. Focused activity is less taxing than multitasking, but you can't keep working endlessly.

3．答案与解析：F　根据空后的“It keeps what it needs more immediately in our short term memory”可知，It指代某种存储信息的东西，结合常识可知，存储信息的东西指的是大脑，故F项符合语境。
4．答案与解析：B　本空考查主旨句。根据本段中讲到的“digital knowledge management systems...a Word document”可知，本段主要讲到了可以使用电子设备来帮助处理信息，故B项“用技术帮忙”适合作本段的主旨句。
5．答案与解析：E　根据空后的“You can go for longer than that, but be sure to take a break”可知，空处讲到的应该是和时间相关的内容，故E项“为了更好的结果，专注于一项任务的时间大约在25分钟”符合语境。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了广州之所以可以举办如此多的国际性会议和活动的原因。
1．答案与解析：a　分析句子结构可知，空处限定可数名词window，应用冠词。结合句意“近日，广州成功举办了2023年‘读懂中国’国际会议、第五届世界媒体峰会和其他重大活动，再次凸显了其作为世界了解中国高质量发展的窗口的作用”可知，此处表泛指概念，window的发音以辅音音素开头，所以空处填a。
2．答案与解析：why　根据空后的“Let's find out”(让我们一探究竟)可知，此处询问“为什么是广州呢？”，所以空处填why。
3．答案与解析：To gain　分析句子结构可知，本句的谓语是must experience，空处在此处作非谓语。结合句意“为了获得对中国更深入的了解，人们必须体验中国的历史和文化”可知，此处构成非谓语动词短语作目的状语，应用动词不定式。由于空处位于句首，首字母需要大写，所以空处填To gain。
4．答案与解析：treasures　treasure在此意为“极贵重的物品，珍宝，宝物，珍品”，是可数名词。根据空前的“a variety of”(各种各样的)可知，空处应用名词复数形式，所以空处填treasures。
5．答案与解析：actively　分析句子结构可知，空处修饰后面的动词participated，应用副词，所以空处填actively。
6．答案与解析：establishing　分析句子结构可知，空处在此作非谓语，此处构成非谓语动词短语作状语，表示自然而然的结果，故空处填现在分词establishing。句意：近年来，广州积极参与“一带一路”国际合作，逐步建立了全方位、多层次、宽领域的开放模式。
7．答案与解析：global　分析句子结构可知，空处修饰后面的名词attention，应用形容词，所以空处填global。
8．答案与解析：developed　分析句子结构可知，空处修饰后面的名词词组transportation network，应用形容词。结合句意“与世界连接还需要高度发达的交通网络”可知，空处填developed“发达的”。本题结合常识和空后的“a modern three dimensional transportation system that links airports, seaports, railway ports, and digital ports”也可以判断，空处所填词的意思是“发达的”。
9．答案与解析：for　结合语境“为国内外参与者提供了便利的途径”可知，空处填for。此处是“provide sth. for sb.”结构。
10．答案与解析：helps/will help　分析句子结构可知，空处作which引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语。此处可理解为描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时；which指代前面的整个句子，表示单数概念，且在从句中作主语，所以空处填helps。此处也可以理解为广州是举办国际盛事的理想地点这件事也对该城市未来的经济和社会发展有帮助，故时态也可以用一般将来时，填will help。

2024·东北三省质检Ⅱ 说明文 324词 ★★★★☆
SWOT satellite is scheduled to be launched on Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth's vital__resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high definition detail over 90% of the globe. It's really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet's surface.
The major mission is to explore how oceans adjust climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by human caused greenhouse gases. SWOT will scan the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (涡流), where much of the oceans' decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What the turning point is at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it，” said Nadya Shiffer, SWOT's program scientist.
By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, SWOT can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or the time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it's giving us a map of elevations, and that's just a total gamechanger，” said Tamlin Pavelsky, SWOT's freshwater science leader.
【语篇解读】　科学家通过利用SWOT将收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高度表面测量数据，这是第一次对地球表面几乎所有的水资源进行测量。
4．What do the underlined words “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to
A．Technology. B．Climate.
C．Oceans. D．Water.
答案与解析：D　理解词汇。根据画线词所在句可知，发射人造卫星SWOT是为了对地球上的重要资源进行测量。再根据第一段的最后一句“It's really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet's surface”可知，这是第一次对地球表面几乎所有的水资源进行测量。由此可知，这个重要的资源指的是水。故D项正确。
5．What is the major mission of SWOT satellite
A．To identify when global warming is worsened.
B．To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2.
C．To study how oceans influence climate change.
D．To explain why greenhouse gases come into being.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第二段中的“The major mission is to explore how oceans adjust climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process”可知，SWOT的主要任务是探究海洋如何在自然过程中通过吸收大气热量和二氧化碳来调节气候变化。故C项“为了研究海洋如何影响气候变化”正确。
6．What makes it possible for SWOT to measure precisely
A．The high definition computer.
B．Advanced radar technology.
C．The three dimensional image.
D．An accurate map of elevations.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第三段中的“Thanks to the radar instrument... This enables scientists to accurately map their observations...than was previously possible”可知，多亏了这个雷达仪器，不管什么天气或什么时间，科学家都能够准确地绘制他们的二维观测图，并且比以前更快地覆盖大面积的地理区域。故B项正确。
7．Which can be the best title for the text
A．A Solution to Climate Change
B．A Breakthrough in Space Travel
C．The Successful Launch of SWOT Satellite
D．The First Global Water Survey from Space
答案与解析：D　理解文章主旨要义。通读全文可知，本文第一段点明文章主题，即利用人造卫星SWOT，科学家第一次对全球水资源进行全面的测量；第二段主要介绍了SWOT的主要任务是探究海洋如何在自然过程中通过吸收大气热量和二氧化碳来调节气候变化；第三和第四段主要介绍了与之前研究依靠的数据和人造卫星相比，SWOT给科学家带来的突破和具有的优势。故D项作本文的标题最佳。

2024·武汉市调研 说明文 349词 ★★★☆☆
It is reported that rail industry bosses are planning to phase out paper train tickets and shut almost 1，000 station ticket offices in England. The government says nothing has been decided. But the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, points out some stations sell only a handful of tickets each week and the vast majority of transactions (交易) have moved online.
Regardless of the outcome of the plan, the direction of travel is clear. In the name of modernization and cost cutting, station ticket offices are likely to follow many high street bank branches and rural post offices into memory. For those who have grown used to the advantages of organizing travel via a smartphone, there will be little to mourn (哀悼). But for people without online access or skills, another small social barrier will have emerged. A recent report estimated that around 6% of households—1.5 m homes—have no Internet access. Millions more of us remain irregular and unconfident users of the Internet. Most likely, as digital technology becomes the gatekeeper to everyday life, a significant minority risks being left behind.
The shift online is unavoidable, but its fallout needs to be managed with more care. Technology should not be allowed to drive people to the side of their own lives, which is increasingly the case. Ros Altmann, the former pensions minister, recently wrote of being contacted by an elderly woman who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking app required.
The debate over ticket offices offers an opportunity to reflect more broadly on the increasing role of technology in our social landscape. Clearly, much more needs to be invested in helping marginalized (边缘化的) groups gain easy online access. Alternative offline options must be maintained for important services. Contactable telephone numbers and staffed public access points should always be available. This will cost more. But that is the price of being fair to those who find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide.
【语篇解读】　英格兰铁路公司打算逐步淘汰纸质火车票，将多数交易转移到互联网上。这说明由于技术的进步，人们的日常生活与互联网的关系更加密切，但在转变的过程中也要关注边缘化人群，否则将会有相当一部分人被抛在后面。
4．What forces the rail industry to phase out paper train tickets
A．Costs of Internet access.
B．Closure of station ticket offices.
C．A sharp decline of offline transactions.
D．The government's efforts to digitize the industry.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“some stations sell only a handful of tickets each week and the vast majority of transactions (交易) have moved online”可知，火车票的线下交易量大幅度下滑迫使铁路行业逐步淘汰纸质火车票，故选C。
5．Which of the following might fall victim to the plan
A．Rural post offices.
B．Irregular Internet users.
C．Unconfident households.
D．High street bank branches.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“下列哪一项可能成为该计划的牺牲品？”→寻线索：根据第二段中的“But for people without online access or skills, another small social barrier will have emerged”可知，对于没有网络接入或技能的人来说，取消纸质火车票将会出现障碍→定答案：综上可知，如果取消纸质火车票，那些不经常上网的人将成为牺牲品，故选B。
6．How does the author clarify his opinion in Paragraph 3
A.By giving an example.
B．By making a comparison.
C．By citing research data.
D．By offering statistical analysis.
答案与解析：A　理解文章结构。根据第三段内容尤其是最后一句话“Ros Altmann...who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking app required”可知，前养老金部长最近写道一位老妇人联系他并告诉他说自己不再开车去当地公园，因为她无法下载所需的停车应用程序。由此可推知，该段是以举例子的方式阐述作者的观点，故选A。
7．What does the author suggest in the last paragraph
A.Taking the digital divide fairly.
B．Maintaining a diversity of services.
C．Investing more in public transport.
D．Slowing down the pace of modernization.
答案与解析：B　推断。根据最后一段中的“much more needs to be invested...and staffed public access points should always be available”可知，作者建议需要投入更多资金帮助边缘化群体轻松上网；对于重要的服务，必须维护备选的离线选项；应始终提供可联系的电话号码和配备人员的公共接入点。总之，作者建议应保持服务的多样性，故选B。

One possible version：
Dear Ryan，
I'm Li Hua from Class 3. I think it's not a good idea to randomly pair up students for the spoken English training after class. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, randomly pairing up students may lead to unbalanced language abilities within the groups. This can hinder the progress of students as the more advanced one may dominate the conversation, leaving little room for the other students to improve. Besides, students may feel uncomfortable or less motivated if paired with someone who they don't get along with or have difficulty communicating with.
My suggestion is to group students based on their language abilities or to let students choose their own partners. This way, everyone can feel more comfortable practicing and improving their spoken English together.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Yours sincerely，

2024·济南市高三检测 说明文 258词 ★★★☆☆
The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice. It outlines the four basic steps used to persuade potentials to make a purchase. The first three steps lie in creating attention (A), decorating interest (I), and building desire (D) for the product, before the fourth step—the “call to action” (A)—tells them exactly how and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer's feelings through each stage toward reaching a sale.
Attracting the customer's attention is the first challenge and this may be achieved by using an attracting phrase or picture. Once someone's attention has been clutched,__it must be turned into real interest. This is best done by providing a brief description of the product's benefits to the consumer rather than simply listing the product's main features or problem solving claims.
Now, it is time to transform that interest into a desire for a product or service. This is where consumers need to believe their lives could be better by possessing the product. It could be a vital step towards turning a potential into a real customer.
“Call to action” is where all of the initial hard work pays off and leads to the action from a potential customer. For example, they might pick up the phone to discuss the idea of a trial of the services or, alternatively, they may just buy that product or service that has been promoted to them all along.
And AIDA is used to great effect in the movie industry. Movie studios begin their marketing campaigns months in advance. The campaigns develop by offering attractive flashes of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview which is fully designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue on the opening weekend. Advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie's release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket.
【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了现代市场营销和广告实践的基础——AIDA模式，重点介绍了该模式的运作原理。
1．What is the purpose of practising AIDA
A．To create jobs.
B．To increase sales.
C．To research markets.
D．To introduce products.
答案与解析：B　推断。根据第一段尾句“AIDA can channel...reaching a sale”可知，AIDA可以引导客户的感受通过每个阶段来达成销售。据此可推知，实践AIDA就是为了增加销售量。
2．What does the underlined word “clutched” mean in Paragraph 2
A．Seized. B．Freed.
C．Cheated. D．Affected.
答案与解析：A　理解词汇。根据第二段第一句“Attracting the customer's...phrase or picture”可知，吸引客户的注意力是第一个挑战，这可以通过使用一个吸引人的短语或图片来实现。据此可推知，画线词所在句表示“一旦某人的注意力被抓住了，就必须把它转化为真正的兴趣”，故画线词意为“抓住”，与A项的意思最为接近。
3．In which stage of the AIDA model may a customer call to try the service
A．Action. B．Interest.
C．Desire. D．Attention.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“在AIDA模式的哪一阶段，客户可能打电话来尝试服务？”→寻线索：根据第四段中的“‘Call to action’ is where all of the initial hard work pays off...the idea of a trial of the services”可知，“行动号召”是指所有最初的努力都得到了回报，并导致潜在客户采取行动。例如，他们可能会拿起电话讨论试用服务的想法→定答案：由此可知，在AIDA模式的行动阶段，客户可能打电话来尝试服务。
4．Why does the author mention the movie industry in the last paragraph
A．To design an AIDA model.
B．To display how AIDA works.
C．To show how to make a movie.
D．To advertise the movie industry.
答案与解析：B　推断。通读尾段可知，该段通过电影业使用AIDA模式取得成功来说明该模式的运作原理：电影公司会提前几个月开始营销活动，营销活动通过提供有吸引力的电影片段而不透露太多信息来开展，欲望被完整预览版的发布激发，该预览版旨在展示电影中激动人心的时刻，从特效到幽默的对白。报纸和电视上的广告关注电影的上映，邀请消费者去买票。故选B。

2024·济南市高三检测 议论文 349词 ★★★☆☆
According to a study done by University of Michigan, shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.
More than half of the 1，000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma, head researcher of the study, said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression. About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead shopping for jewellery, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men.
In some sense, stress shopping can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. The survey found 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood was long lasting. However, stress shopping, for many, could grow into a drive that uses up money, causes conflict, and therefore adds great stress to life.
Despite the in time joy from purchases, stress shopping never proves a long lasting cure to stress or depression. Actually it needs to be avoided anyhow. Whether you're purchasing presents or buying groceries, having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you'll be more likely to commit to it.
In addition always think about what you struggle with most financially. Do you spend too much money at the mall Eating out Vacations Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to resist your desire. For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on weekends, stuff your cupboard with food on Friday. So you'll be more likely to stay in and cook. And you need to give up the need to keep up with others. Everyone's financial situation is different and comparison may lead to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.
【语篇解读】　虽然压力购物可以降低血压，保持积极持久的情绪，但是压力购物可能会发展成一种消耗金钱、引起冲突的冲动，因此给生活增加了巨大的压力。
5．Why does the author mention those numbers in Paragraph 2
A．To support an idea.
B．To attract readers.
C．To call for actions.
D．To introduce a topic.
答案与解析：A　推断。通读第二段可知，研究员Credit Karma调查了1 000名消费者，其中超过一半的人表示，他们曾通过购物来应付压力或抑郁。大约48%的男性和31%的女性在压力下购物，他们说自己在压力下会买酒。大约82%的女性会在服装上花钱，而男性的这一比例为52%。女性购买珠宝的比例为42%，男性为22%。据此可推知，这些数字是为了说明很多人通过购物来应付压力。
6．Which of the following may help deal with stress shopping
A．Stimulating desires.
B．Recording spending.
C．Turning to medicines.
D．Comparing with others.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第四段中的“Whether you're purchasing...brightness while shopping”可知，无论你是在买礼物还是买食品杂货，把你需要的东西写下来都会让你在购物时头脑清醒。据此可知，可以用记录支出的方法帮助应付压力购物。
7．What is the author's attitude to stress shopping
A．Unclear. B．Doubtful.
C．Objective. D．Negative.
答案与解析：D　理解观点、态度。根据第三段中的“However, stress shopping...stress to life”可知，对许多人来说，压力购物可能会发展成一种消耗金钱、引起冲突的冲动，因此给生活增加了巨大的压力。根据第四段中的“Despite the in time joy...stress or depression”可知，尽管购物能带来及时的快乐，但压力购物从来没有被证明是一种长期治愈压力或抑郁的方法。据此可推知，作者对于压力购物的态度是否定的。
8．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Does shopping benefit us
B．More stressed, women or men
C．Should we compare with others
D．Can stress shopping reduce stress
答案与解析：D　理解文章主旨要义。通读全文，尤其是第一段和第四段中的“Despite the in time...stress or depression”可知，密歇根大学的一项研究表明，通过购物来减压能给人40倍的控制感，购物的人比只看东西(不买)的人少三倍的悲伤。尽管购物能带来及时的快乐，但压力购物从来没有被证明是一种长期治愈压力或抑郁的方法。据此可知，本文主要讨论压力购物是否能减轻压力。

[2024·浙江杭州质检]My dad and I had been looking forward to the state cross country race of my senior year of high school, which would be the climax (顶点) of my existence.
I was the fastest runner on my team, and I was supposed to make it into the top fifteen. We had been working towards this race for three years. It was everything to me, and it was everything to my dad. He was a runner and was wild with joy by my success in running. He made it to every race, even flying home early from business trips to see me run. I always listened for his voice, which rang above the crowd—telling me to relax my arms, calling out my time. He pushed me. He cheered for me. He believed in me. We spent countless hours on the sandy canals of Arizona. Breathing in the dust of the desert, the smell of blossoms of the orange trees, and the terrible smell of the dairy farm, we made our way across the city. We pounded miles and miles into our running shoes, marking the path to greatness with every step. It was a journey that was just ours. A dream was passed on from one generation to the next.
Then the big day came. It was hotter than normal—too hot. My throat felt like a field of cotton, cracked with the summer heat, as I waited for the gun to fire. I gazed out at the crowd; dozens of familiar faces from school flickered across my view. They had come for me. They were counting on me. I saw my dad set his watch, worry and excitement etched across his face. With the sound of a gunshot, the race began.
For the first two and a half miles, I felt great.I had never before been so ready for something. The weeks leading up to the race were filled with hard practices and a strict diet. The scorching sun beat upon my back, blinding me with its brilliance. Nothing was going to stop me, though.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
However, without warning, my strength was running out.

One possible version：
However, without warning, my strength was running out. My lungs fought to take in enough air, and my feet were transformed into cement bricks.Neck and neck with one of my greatest rivals, I could see the finish line. I had begun the final sprint into glory when my knees buckled.Nothing I could do would make my legs hold my weight. They were as weak as jelly. Even though I knew my dreams of victory had been destroyed, I had to finish the race. With all of the strength left in me, I got on my hands and knees and crawled, inch by inch, across the finish line. Shame pulsed through my veins as Dad squatted down and pulled me into his arms.
I whispered, “I'm so sorry I disappointed you, Dad.”He gave me a gentle smile and said, “You could never disappoint me. Sometimes these things just happen. All that matters is that you did your best.” Lifting my face, I saw my dad's eyes, in which I saw the sweat, the time, and the work we had put into our dream. The miles we had run together all for this race flashed across my mind .“But we worked so hard. What about our dream？” I asked. In that second, the world stood still. He reached over for my hand, holding back his own tears, and said, “Don't you know that you are my dream come true？”

2021·全国甲卷 说明文 233词 ★★★★☆
Swap, Don't Shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources (资源) to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly good but you're maybe a little sick of them clothes piled on your bedroom floor __1__. It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
Invite 5－10 people so you have a nice selection. __2__， and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
__3__. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.
Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. __4__. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go，” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. __5__. And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A．Less people than that
B．Hold a clothing swap
C．If two people are competing
D．Just keep music playing throughout
E．Donate whatever clothes are left over
F．Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G．Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何举办服装交换派对活动来回收利用旧衣服，以达到保护环境的目的。
1．答案与解析：B　分析上下文语境可知，该空起承上启下的作用。空前提到该如何处理你不喜欢的衣服，空后提到舍弃你的旧衣服，从你朋友那里获得衣服。由此可知，空处应提出一种解决你不喜欢的衣服这一问题的方法。分析选项可知，B项“举办旧衣物交换活动”是对该问题的回答；而下一句中的代词It也指代B选项中的clothing swap。故B项正确。
2．答案与解析：A　分析本句的结构可知，后半句中的“more than that...”和空处所填应形成对比的关系；分析各选项可知，A项符合该处语境，且选项中的that与more than that中的that均指代该段首句中的Invite 5 10 people。故A项正确。
3．答案与解析：G　该空位于句首，应为段落的主旨句。且由下一句中的also一词可知，两句之间为递进关系，G选项中的bring与下一句“They should also prepare...”中的prepare相呼应，此段介绍参加服装交换派对活动的要求，即不仅要带来干净可穿的衣物，还要准备好装“新”衣物的环保袋。故G项正确。
4．答案与解析：F　由上下文语境可知，空处应是讲述交换衣服时所做的事情。F选项中put一词是前一句“Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room”的关键词复现，表明应把衣物摆放在合适的位置。故F项正确。
5．答案与解析：D　由空前一句中的“turn on a certain song，or whatever”和空后一句可知，D选项中的“全程播放音乐”与空后“准备一些饼干和水果”，都是为了给旧衣物交换派对活动增添乐趣。故D项正确。

2024·四省适应性测试 说明文 282词 ★★☆☆☆
We all know that unpleasant feeling when we're talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we're interrupted. But was that really an interruption The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.
Using a set of controlled audio clips (录音片段), Hilton surveyed 5，000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people's perceptions of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.
Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two distinct groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people to speak one after another in conversation.
The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时的) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.
“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication，” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”
【语篇解读】　为了更好了解是什么影响了人们对被打断的看法，研究人员进行了实验，最后得出结论：谈话被打断是否是一种干扰取决于提问的对象。
4．What does Hilton's research focus on
A．What interruptions mean to people.
B．Whether interruptions are good or not.
C．How to avoid getting interrupted.
D．Why speakers interrupt each other.
答案与解析：A　推断。根据第二段中“Using a set of...perceptions of interruptions”和第四段中的“The high intensity group...the speakers were saying”可知，为了更好了解是什么影响人们对打断的看法，Hilton调查了5 000名说美式英语的人，由此可知Hilton的研究焦点在于打断对人们来讲意味着什么。同时，高强度组和低强度组对打断的看法也说明了这一点。故A项正确。
5．What do participants of the study need to do
A．Record an audio clip.
B．Answer some questions.
C．Listen to one another.
D．Have a chat with a friend.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第二段中“She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions...trying to interrupt”可知，她让参与者听录音片段，然后回答一些问题，故B项正确。
6．What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat
A．It's important. B．It's interesting.
C．It's inefficient. D．It's impolite.
答案与解析：D　理解具体信息。根据第三段中“Low intensity speakers find it rude...another in conVersation”可知，低强度说话者觉得同时说话很粗鲁，更喜欢人们在谈话中一个接一个地说话，故D项正确。
7．What can we learn from Hilton's research
A．Human interaction is complex.
B．Communication is the basis of life.
C．Interruptions promote thinking.
D．Language barriers will always exist.
答案与解析：A　推断。根据文章最后一段的内容可知，人们很在意被打断，而那些小小的打断会对整个交流产生巨大的影响，如果想要了解人们如何与其他人交流，分解打断的含义是必不可少的。由此可见，人类的交流是复杂的。故A项正确。

[2024·石家庄高三质检]I still remember the day when we decorated the house. I was ten and it was two weeks before New Year. I was looking forward to my presents. Since I'm the youngest in the family, all of the family members would give me a gift one way or another. Sometimes it was a cookie or a hug but it was always there. I was the only center of attention and it was feeling good.
My uncles usually would ask me what I wanted before New Year and that year I knew what I wanted. It was the spaceship I saw in the ads. I was dreaming of opening a big gift box, and it was there. But that year it came in a way that I wasn't expecting.
It was two weeks before New Year. Just two weeks. She couldn't wait. My dear mother told my father that it was time, and then we went to the hospital. After an hour, they told me that I had a sister. But I didn't want a sister. I wanted a spaceship. The next few days went so fast. No one was caring about me. Everyone was talking about her and I knew that my life was never going to be the same ever again. I wasn't ready to grow up, to be a big brother. But it just happened in an instant.
On the day before New Year, everyone was in our home, talking only about my newborn sister. My family was becoming hers. Even my uncles didn't ask me anything about the gift. She stole everything I'd ever had, my life and my presents. Thinking about this, I cried myself to sleep. I had a nightmare (噩梦) and woke up in the middle of the night. Shadows were all around me, and I was defenseless and so weak. I ran into my parents' bedroom but couldn't wake up my poor parents who were just too worn out. I was standing near their bed, trying not to cry when I saw her. She was awake and looking at me with her big eyes in her small bed.
注意：1.词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Suddenly a long shadow came into the bedroom and she started crying.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
After having comforted her, something slowly changed inside me.

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
Suddenly a long shadow came into the bedroom and she started crying. Panicky at first, I then realized that it was just a car passing by. But she felt uneasy, her mouth wide opening, arms waving, and legs kicking (独立主格结构). I thought she might be scared, so I held out my hand to hold hers, patting her on the back with the other (现在分词短语作伴随状语). I even moved a bit closer to her little bed, whispering my favorite song in her ears, just as my mum did when I got scared. Surprisingly, she seemed to understand me and stopped crying. Looking into her big eyes, I breathed a sigh of relief.
After having comforted her, something slowly changed inside me. The sense of loneliness was replaced by the responsibility of being an elder brother (巧妙使用被动语态彰显句式变化). Even though her arrival took over the center of the whole family initially (Even though引导的让步状语从句), she started to become the center of my attention too. With her cute round face and sparkling eyes, she also won my love and care for her. I looked around and found my parents, awake, smiling at me. With a shadow of a happy family cast on the window (with复合结构), I felt my little sister was the best gift I'd ever got.练习57　语法填空＋阅读理解

2024·福建省练习卷 议论文 248词 ★★★★☆
You've heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However，we can have a different understanding of it.
When a person is starving, that's not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish—eradicating their hunger—and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I'd do in your position，” a well meaning individual might offer.
But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don't have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person's situation
Rushing to offer a struggling person long term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you'll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.
But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes. You can't just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don't say. The other is empathy (共情). The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.
【语篇解读】　人们总认为饥饿的人最需要的是食物，只有填饱肚子才能帮助他们平复因饥饿而产生的焦虑、困惑等消极因素，让他们愿意接受新思想，第二步才能教会他们智慧和方法。但是，人们往往忽视了第一步的重要性。
1．What is the function of the first paragraph
A．To illustrate a concept.
B．To bring in a new viewpoint.
C．To introduce the background.
D．To put up an example.
答案与解析：B　推断。通读第一段并结合下文内容可知，该段从中国谚语“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”说起，引出本文的新观点：在别人饥饿时，当务之急是给他食物让他消除饥饿，这是关键的一步，却常被人忽略。故B项正确。
2．What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in Paragraph 2
A．Getting rid of.
B．Paying attention to.
C．Making up for.
D．Putting up with.
答案与解析：A　理解词汇。根据第二段的“to first give the person a fish—eradicating their hunger”并结合常识可知，当一个人挨饿的时候，不要给他灌输知识，而是先给他一条鱼，以消除他们的饥饿，然后再教他们钓鱼。据此可知，画线词意为“消除”，故A项正确。
3．What should we do first for those in disasters
A．Get them to think straight.
B．Enhance their confidence.
C．Satisfy their primary needs.
D．Teach them a new skill.
答案与解析：C　推断。根据第二段的“When a person is...teach them to fish”可知，当一个人挨饿的时候，不要给他灌输知识，而是先给他一条鱼——消除他们的饥饿——然后再教他们钓鱼。据此可以推知，对于那些身陷灾难中的人，我们首先应当满足其基本需求，故C项正确。
4．Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph
A．Live and learn.
B．Never teach a fish to swim.
C．Put yourself in others' shoes.
D．Don't teach an old dog new tricks.
答案与解析：C　推断。通读尾段可知，尾段指出确定一个人在上钓鱼课之前是否需要一条鱼，第一要看对方集中注意力的能力，要确定对方是开放的、乐意接受的；第二是要有同理心，即让对方在安全的环境中接受帮助。据此可知，尾段强调应当设身处地为别人着想，故C项正确。A项意为“活到老，学到老”；B项意为“不要班门弄斧”；D项意为“老古董学不会新东西”，都与文意不符。

2024·广东省模拟Ⅰ 说明文 365词 ★★★★☆
Like any doctor, Jacques Fellay wants to give his patients the best care. Hidden inside our bodies are genetic (基因的) markers that can tell him which patients could probably have diseases such as AIDS and provide early treatments. However, there are worries for Fellay: they contain sensitive details that could lead to embarrassment, discrimination or even worse.
A new kind of encryption, fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) (完全同态加密), is making it possible for data users to run multiple operations on genetic data without seeing the contents. This can help end big data's privacy problems, and Fellay's patients can be some of the first to benefit.
In 1978, the concept of homomorphic encryption (HE) was firstly proposed. According to it, one could encrypt and share data with others, who could analyze and perform calculations on the data with no idea what it means. After getting the data back, the data user could simply arrive at the result using the secret key and it will make total sense.
In 2009, Craig Gentry firstly provided a workable FHE program. Like HE, it rests on a mathematical idea called a homomorphism, which mostly relies on using algebra (代数) to map data from one form to another without changing its underlying structure. However, it supports multiple operations on encrypted data, rather than only one calculation in HE.
Later, Gentry went on to work at IBM, which now has complicated FHE tools to run encrypted data. In the medical field, for example, it detected signs of pneumonia (肺炎) infection by applying FHE to analyze the encrypted CT scans of more than 1，500 people's lungs. In a paper published in October 2021, the team used FHE to collect data from multiple sources and predicted the effect of cancer treatments or the process of HIV infection, as in Fellay's case.
Workable, but still slow: calculations on the FHE encrypted data could take millions of times longer than those on raw data. But, as Goldwasser said, “If you believe that security is not a plus, but it's a must, then in some sense there is no overhead.”
【语篇解读】　文章介绍了一种新型加密技术——完全同态加密程序的开发过程以及意义。
5．What is Fellay concerned about
A．Serious diseases.
B．Sensitive patients.
C．The safety of personal data.
D．The lack of genetic information.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“However, there are worries for Fellay: they contain sensitive details that could lead to embarrassment，discrimination or even worse”可知，Fellay医生担忧隐藏在我们体内的基因标记物所包含的敏感细节被泄露后会导致尴尬、歧视甚至更糟，即他担心个人资料的安全问题，故选C。
6．In what way is FHE different from HE
A．It speeds up the analyses.
B．It allows more calculations.
C．It prevents direct access to data.
D．It depends on the use of algebra.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“完全同态加密和同态加密有什么不同？”→寻线索：根据第四段最后一句话“However, it supports multiple operations on encrypted data, rather than only one calculation in HE”可知，完全同态加密支持对加密数据进行多次操作，而不是在同态加密中只进行一次计算→定答案：由此可知，完全同态加密和同态加密的区别在于完全同态加密允许多次计算，故选B。
7．What is Goldwasser's attitude towards FHE
A．Contradictory. B．Unclear.
C．Favorable. D．Intolerant.
答案与解析：C　推断。根据最后一段Goldwasser所说的话“If you believe that security is not a plus, but it's a must, then in some sense there is no overhead”可知，Goldwasser认为完全同态加密系统是加分项，即她对完全同态加密持赞成态度，故选C。
8．What is the main idea of the text
A．FHE protects privacy in the big data era.
B．FHE opens a new world for medical workers.
C．Gentry proposed a new encryption technology.
D．Homomorphic encryption developed over time.
答案与解析：A　理解文章主旨要义。文章开头以医生担心病人个人资料的安全问题为话题引入了完全同态加密程序，然后以此为线索对该程序进行介绍，即这篇文章主要讲述了完全同态加密程序保护个人隐私的功能，故选A。练习4　单句语法填空＋阅读理解

When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌) Which kinds of fish can eat cancer causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1，600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor，” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what's happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self repair.”
【语篇解读】　这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了John Todd从小就很爱思考且好学，他建造了一个生态机器，利用大自然可以自我修复的原理来净化污水。

2024·新课标Ⅱ卷，B 记叙文 269词 ★★☆☆☆
Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there's a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you'll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one minute, a three minute, or a five minute story，” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt like short story.”
It's that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20，000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest，” Trost says. “And as of right now, we've received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories，” she says.
And you'll never be without something to read.
语篇类型：记叙文　主题语境：人与社会——社会服务——阅读亭项目
【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了旧金山湾区捷运系统的首席通讯官艾丽西亚·特罗斯特根据车站乘客的需求启动阅读亭项目，以便改善乘客的体验。
5．Why did BART start the kiosk program
A．To promote the local culture.
B．To discourage phone use.
C．To meet passengers' needs.
D．To reduce its running costs.
答案与解析：C　推断。题干中的kiosk在第二段“there's a kiosk(小亭) for that”中首次出现，句中的that指代文章第一段中的“but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed”，即很多人仍然喜欢选择传统方式，读一些印刷的东西。所以为了满足乘客需求，BART启动了阅读亭项目，故答案为C。
6．How are the stories categorized in the kiosk
A．By popularity. B．By length.
C．By theme. D．By language.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据文章第三段中的“it tells you can get a one minute, a three minute, or a five minute story”和“You choose which length you want”可知，你可以根据自己想要的长度选择1分钟、3分钟或者5分钟阅读时长的故事，即阅读亭里的故事是按长度分类的，故答案为B。
7．What has Trost been doing recently
A．Organizing a story contest.
B．Doing a survey of customers.
C．Choosing a print publisher.
D．Conducting interviews with artists.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据文章第五段中的“we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest”和“as of right now, we've received about 120 submissions”可知，特罗斯特号召艺术家们提交故事参加比赛，并且目前为止收到了大约120份参赛作品，所以她是在组织故事比赛，故答案为A。
8．What is Trost's opinion about BART's future
A．It will close down.
B．Its profits will decline.

2024·浙江1月，C 说明文 310词 ★★☆☆☆
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与自然——灾害防范——防雹干预计划之争
【语篇解读】　本文介绍了加拿大艾伯塔地区的防雹干预计划，以及不同相关方对该计划的不同态度。
1．What does the project aim to do
A．Conserve moisture in the soil.
B．Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C．Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
D．Investigate chemical use in farming.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。题干中的“the project”指的就是第一段中所提到的“Alberta Hail Suppression Project”，因此根据第一段中的“Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones”可知，飞机通过向有威胁性的风暴体播撒一种化学物质，使得小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前先变成雨落下。由此可知，这一计划旨在防止冰雹的形成，故选B项。A项“保存土壤水分”；C项“预报灾难性雹暴”；D项“调查农业中化学品的使用”。
2．Who are opposed to the project
A．Farmers in east central Alberta.
B．Managers of insurance companies.
C．Provincial government officials.
D．Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“But farmers in east central Alberta...worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding”可知，Alberta中东部的农民担心播云会带走他们干旱土地中的宝贵水分。由此可知，这些农民是反对这个计划的，故选A项。
3．Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A．To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B.To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C.To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D．To show the link between storms and moisture.
答案与解析：C　理解目的。根据第四段中的“One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell”可知， Doswell博士对播云的安全性持怀疑态度。接着他提到1999年亲眼目睹的由一个已经被播撒了化学物质的风暴单体形成的重大龙卷风。随后他又提出疑问“Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind？”，怀疑播云会产生致命的风暴或是减少下风处的水分。由此可推断出，Doswell博士提到他看到的1999年的龙卷风是为了表明播云存在可能的风险，故选C项。A项“为了比较不同的播撒方式”；B项“为了说明大雹暴的形成”；C项“为了表明播云可能存在的风险”；D项“为了说明风暴和水分之间的关系”。
4．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B.Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C．The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D.Cloud seeding companies will continue to exist.
答案与解析：D　推断。根据最后一段最后一句“Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety”可知，私营的气候工程公司可以在相对合法的安全环境中继续进行下去，也就是这些公司会继续存在下去，故选D项。A项“科学研究证明了Stienwand是对的”；B项“私营的气候工程公司在加拿大是非法的”；C项“关于播云的疑虑已经消失了”；D项“播云公司会继续存在下去”。

2024·武汉高三调研 记叙文 298词 ★★★☆☆
During 20 years of stacking (使码放在) shelves with goods at his family's supermarket in Pollenca on the Spanish island of Mallorca, Jose Luis Reig, known as Pep, never gave a thought to the academic world. It was only when visiting the classrooms and passages of mainland universities with his two teenage daughters that he suddenly felt himself at home among the books and atmosphere of learning.
After school Pep had intended to get a degree in biology at the University of Barcelona but had been called on to help run the family business instead.
But the question of “What's my role in life？” still kept coming back to him. It wasn't until a year later that the answer suddenly struck him. When he was at school, other children would come to him with their problems. He developed a reputation and so was invited onto local radio, where the interviewer said, “You're like a young psychologist.”
Pep was no stranger to change. The family business had originally been a sawmill (锯木厂), but when Pep, then 27, was asked if he wanted to take over, he decided to transform the mill into the town's first supermarket.
One day in the shop, what the radio presenter said came back to him. After running the idea past his family, he applied to a university in Palma to study psychology and, aged 46, was accepted.
“I had to get used to being much older than all the other students，” he says. “In fact, I was older than my professor. But I believe disadvantages can always be advantages. And I ended up helping the others because I'd had more life experience that carries a psychological impact, which could reflect classroom theory.”
Pep came top of his year and impressed his tutors so much that he was offered a job researching and teaching, which he still does while studying for a master's in neuropsychology. Now 52, and still in the job, he adds, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.”
【语篇解读】　46岁商人放弃家族企业考入帕尔马一所大学学习心理学，在大学里他的年龄远远高于其他同学甚至年长于自己的教授，但他丰富的生活经验帮助他获得学业上的成功，他最终也得到了一份研究和教学的工作。
5．What can we know about Pep in the first paragraph
A.He felt relaxed in the academic atmosphere.
B．He visited his daughters' universities frequently.
C.He supported his daughters' by arranging shelves.
D．He never quit the thought of going to mainland colleges.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“It was only when...that he suddenly felt himself at home among the books and atmosphere of learning”可知，只有当他带着两个十几岁的女儿参观内地大学的教室和走廊时，他才突然在书籍和学习氛围中感到自在。由此可知，Pep在学术氛围中感到放松，故选A。
6．What was Pep's answer to the question of his role in life
A．To win a reputation.
B．To study psychology.
C．To take over his family business.
D．To cure children's problems.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第三段内容，尤其是最后一句中的“You're like a young psychologist”可知，对于他在生活中扮演的角色这个问题，Pep的答案是研究心理学，故选B。
7．What inspired Pep to apply to the university in Palma at 46
A．His pursuit of a better career.
B．The radio presenter's comment.
C．His classmates' encouragement.
D．The proposal of the family members.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第五段的内容“One day in the shop...to study psychology and, aged 46, was accepted”可知，电台主持人的评论激励着Pep申请帕尔马的大学，故选B。
8．Which quality might have helped Pep a lot in the university

[2024·新课标Ⅰ卷]I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly，but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. “We made it，” he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: “Out of order.Sorry.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

写作思路：
故事梗概　 “我”要在维也纳换乘公交车去布拉格参加会议，但飞往维也纳的航班由于暴风雨延误了。因此，一下飞机“我”就飞奔上了第一辆出租车。司机Gunter没有听说过“我”要去的那个公交站，但通过手机和朋友一番沟通后，他成功把“我”送到了目的地。正当“我”要付钱时，“我”想起来“我”的钱包里面没有现金，而“我”的银行卡刷了几次也无法成功支付。看着排队上车的人越来越少，“我”感到十分无助，就连公交站等候厅入口处的取款机也罢工了。
续写思路'根据续写第一段提示句“I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news”(“我”跑向Gunter跟他讲了这个坏消息)可知，续写第一段可先写“我”跟他解释情况及之后他可能的反应等。再结合续写第二段提示句“Four days later，when I was back in Vienna，I called Gunter as promised”(四天后，当“我”回到维也纳时，“我”按照承诺给Gunter打了电话)可知，续写第一段还应描写“我”要了Gunter的电话号码，且他让“我”先行离开了。该段还可涉及“我”最终是否及时赶上公交车、是否赶上会议等。
根据续写第二段提示句以及上面的分析可知，续写第二段应该说明“我”给Gunter打电话后双方约定见面，“我”把车费支付给他并向他表示感谢等。文章最后应写“我”经历此事后的感悟，体现信任他人与遵守承诺两种美好品质，升华主旨。
One possible version：
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. The cash machine was also out of order! In other words, I couldn't pay him now. I felt so depressed and sorry [心理描写，沮丧且抱歉], an embarrassed smile creeping into (逐渐浮现) my face (独立主格结构)[表情描写，体现尴尬处境]. Then an idea occurred to me. I pointed at [手部动作描写] my phone and asked him to give his phone number to me so that I could contact him when I came back here (目的状语从句，其中when引导时间状语从句). Surprisingly, he comforted me that everything was OK since he had known how anxious I was (that引导宾语从句，其中since引导原因状语从句，how引导宾语从句). After we said goodbye to each other, I rushed to[肢体动作描写] the queue. Fortunately, I didn't miss the whole arrangements for the conference.
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He didn't recognise me immediately when I said hello to him. So I explained my intention. At first, he refused to charge me the fare. But I insisted I owe him the money(宾语从句＋虚拟语气). Therefore, we made a deal to meet at the bus station. When we met, I extended my gratitude for his trust in me, gave him the fare and tipped (给小费) him another sum of money [表达感激的心理以及付钱的动作链]. Satisfied, he gave me a thumbs up, praised me a lot for my honesty and also thanked me for the tip [司机收到报酬后的反应动作链], but I told him that he deserved it (that引导宾语从句). Till now, every time I recall this experience (every time引导时间状语从句), I can't help wondering (不禁琢磨) if there is more trust and honesty in the world, how charming our world will be (how引导宾语从句，其中if引导条件状语从句).练习55　阅读理解＋读后续写

2023·新课标Ⅱ卷 说明文 290词 ★★★★☆
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.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了印刷书籍和阅读对人类的重要意义。

2024·济南模拟 说明文 264词 ★★★☆☆
There is nothing quite like enjoying the sights, sounds and culture of a city while tasting a cup of coffee outdoors. But it is not that enjoyable when heat waves sweep the city. An outdoor cooling system produced by Green Kinonko , an Israeli (以色列的) company , began to be tested in Tel Aviv. The sweltering city is a perfect place to try the new technology.
With global warming heating up the temperature, it will soon be too hot to sit outside in cafes. While outdoor cooling systems have existed for a while，most of them use some sort of water or a misting system to cool the air around them, consuming too much water and power. After two years of development, the perfect solution to the problem was found. “We have invented a new generation of air conditioners，” Green Kinonko's CEO Leizer said.
As Leizer introduced, the energy is from the pressure created between liquid nitrogen (氮) and gas nitrogen. When liquid nitrogen at －196 ℃ turns into gas, it produces a very strong pressure and the pressure is used to run a mechanical engine. It is the mechanical engine that slowly releases freezing nitrogen gas to cool down the air around it.
The technology is unique and amazing. Beyond the coolness of the concept，it also has other advantages. The work unit doesn't need to be power driven, and doesn't blow out harmful warm air as it works. As for the potential price, it will probably be no more expensive than any other air conditioner. In addition, the liquid nitrogen container will need to be replaced every seven to ten days, depending on usage. This makes it an affordable option for all sorts of businesses. The cooling system is expected to be on the market in 2024.
【语篇解读】　以色列一家公司研发出了一套新型户外冷却系统，该系统有望在2024年面世。
5．What does the underlined word “sweltering” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Warm. B．Dry.
C．Hot. D．Freezing.
答案与解析：C　理解词汇。根据画线词前面的“An outdoor cooling system”可知，这个户外系统的功能是冷却，因此，如果该城市是试用这个户外冷却系统的最佳城市，那么可以推测这个城市肯定很热，故C项与画线词的意义最为接近。
6．What problem does the existing outdoor cooling systems have
A．They are wasteful.
B．They overheat easily.
C．They often break down.
D．They are slow to cool the air.
答案与解析：A　推断。根据第二段中的“most of them use some sort of water or a misting system to cool the air around them, consuming too much water and power”可知，现有的户外冷却系统会消耗太多的水电，由此可以推断，它们比较浪费，故A项正确。
7．What does Paragraph 3 mainly explain
A．What powers the engine.
B．What turns liquid into gas.
C．How the pressure is formed.
D．How the new system works.
答案与解析：D　推断。根据第三段中的“the energy is from the pressure... it produces a very strong pressure and the pressure is used to run a mechanical engine... releases freezing nitrogen gas to cool down the air around it”可知，第三段主要解释了该新型冷却系统的整个运行原理，故D项正确。
8．What is the purpose of this text
A．To promote a company.
B．To settle an energy crisis.
C．To introduce a technology.
D．To market a misting system.
答案与解析：C　理解目的。本文第一段中的“An outdoor cooling system... began to be tested in Tel Aviv”点明文章主题；第二段讲述了现有的户外冷却系统的问题；第三段讲述了这种新型冷却系统的工作原理；第四段讲述了这种新型冷却系统的优势和前景。由此可知，本文的目的是介绍一种新技术，故C项正确。

[2024·江苏南京六校联合调研]Walking on the street, the bitter cold of a December day in Washington, D．C. was ruining my mood. The temperature was below zero so I ducked into the subway station, hoping to get warm.
Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court (餐饮区) was tempting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor's eyes it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for a handout (施舍). But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him.
While this inner debate was fierce, a well dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir，” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn't as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use？” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor's response to his sudden good fortune.
He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened his mouth and suddenly, he stopped.
The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, hatless and gloveless. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight.

One possible version：
My neighbor was the only one taking action. Quickly pulling aside his miracle meal, my neighbor leaped up and guided the elderly man to share the seat. Numb with cold, the old man didn't expected the invitation, moving clumsily. Hardly had he seated himself when my neighbor tenderly put his down jacket over the older man's shoulders, slipping his arms into sleeves. Finally, he said, “Can you help me out？”， pointing to the meal and placing the steaming cup of soup in the stranger's hands. Seeing this, my head and heart stopped battling and I had my decision.
Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food at the food court. What my neighbour said exactly spoke my mind. With regret, I felt obliged to do the same. Respectfully and cautiously, I approached them with steaming soup and a sandwich. People around cast an approving smile
in my direction. “Can you help me out？” I asked. “Why not？” he added jokingly. “But only if you go halfway with me on that sandwich, which is too much for a man of my age .” It wasn't until that day that I truly learned the meaning of sharing. I left the subway station feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible.

Two groups of children, dyslexic (有阅读障碍的) and non dyslexic children, were asked to read four texts with either standard or extra large letter spacing, both with and without a coloured overlay. They were instructed to read the text out loud while being recorded. The recording was used to measure the number of errors they made—specifically missed words, added words, wrong words, and pronunciation—as well as the participants' reading time.
The study discovered that the text with increased space between letters provided benefits for both groups. On average, the dyslexic group showed a 13% increase in reading speed, while the group of non dyslexic children showed a 5% increase. In addition to improving reading speed, it also resulted in a significant decline in the number of words missed by the children with dyslexic. However, the study found that coloured overlays had no significant impact on reading speed or the reduction of errors for either group.
Dr Stagg, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at ARU, said, “We believe extra large letter spacing works by reducing what is known as the ‘crowding effect’， which can hamper the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed.”
“Our findings strongly suggest that teachers can be confident that all children would be helped by increased letter spacing in reading materials，” Dr Stagg added. “While we found that coloured overlays provided few benefits, we suggest children should be encouraged to use overlays if they find these help their reading. Coloured overlays may not increase reading speeds, but they may extend reading stamina (持久力). Previous research suggests their benefits may not become apparent if reading time is less than 10 minutes and the short reading duration of the tests in our study may have put coloured overlays at a disadvantage.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，增加一篇文章中字母之间的间隔可以提高孩子的阅读速度。
4．Which of the following best describes the research process in Paragraph 2
A. Illustrate, group and report.
B. Read, instruct and measure.
C. Question, assume and prove.
D. Categorize, record and count.
答案与解析：D　理解具体信息。本题问“下面哪一项最好地描述了第二段中的研究过程？”根据题干信息，将答案定位在第二段。研究人员首先将学生分为有阅读障碍的一组和没有阅读障碍的一组，然后他们被要求在录音的同时大声朗读课文，最后这段录音被用来测量两组学生所犯错误的数量以及参与者的阅读时间，由此可知，第二段的研究过程为分类、录音和计数，故选D。
5．What can we learn about increased letter spacing from Paragraph 3
A. It reduces reading errors.
B. It sharpens reading skills.
C. It arouses reading interest.
D. It enhances reading comprehension.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据第三段的第三句话可知，加大字母间距不仅可以提高阅读速度，而且可以明显减少患有阅读障碍的儿童遗漏的单词数量，即阅读错误，故选A。
6．What does the underlined word “hamper” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Obtain. B. Prevent.
C. Change. D. Involve.
答案与解析：B　理解词汇。根据上文可知，加大的字母间距可以通过减少所谓的“拥挤效应”来发挥作用，从而减少阅读错误，因此画线词所在句子指“拥挤效应”会阻碍字母的识别，降低阅读速度，故画线词意为“阻碍”，与B项的词义最为接近。
7．What can be inferred about coloured overlays from Paragraph 5
A. They might not have been evaluated fairly.
B. They might not be recommended by experts.
C. They might work better in short reading.
D. They might have some disadvantages.
答案与解析：A　推断。根据第五段中的“Previous research suggests their benefits may not become apparent... may have put coloured overlays at a disadvantage”可知，如果阅读时间少于10分钟，颜色标注的好处可能不会显现出来，而研究中测试的短阅读时间可能会使颜色标注处于不利地位。由此可知，颜色标注可能没有得到公平的评估，故选A。

Ways to Relieve Stress
Recently a survey was carried out about ways to relieve stress. The majority of the respondents watched videos or listened to music to paratively, only a small number of students chose exercise or talking to others.
While videos and music are fun, spending too much time on them may cause us to ignore more important things. There are actually better options available. For example, doing exercise or talking with friends not only relieves stress but also brings us closer.
So, if we feel stressed, it's useful to try different ways to relax which can help both our body and mind. That's all. Thank you!
One possible version 2：
Ways to Relieve Stress
Recently a survey was carried out about ways to relieve stress. Surprisingly, four fifths of the respondents regarded watching videos as their preferred way to ease stress, closely followed by listening to music. In contrast，only a small percent of individuals chose sports or chatting with others.
While videos and music offer amusement and fascination，excessive indulgence may distract our attention from our studies and daily lives. On the contrary, not only does participating in sports promote physical well being, but communicating with our friends and parents can also provide comfort.
Therefore, I suggest that we adopt a combination of stress relief methods, prioritizing those that enhance both our physical and mental health. Thank you for listening!

Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long distance friendships.
Set a regular date
Long lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact (联系) and share with one another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. __1__.
More isn't always merrier
Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. __2__. There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.
Practise empathy (共情)
__3__. The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned.
__4__
Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long distance friendships. Although technology might make day to day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends' birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.
Don't rely on technology alone
__5__， but long distance friendships—even close ones—may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it Just spend face to face time together whenever possible.
A．Remember important dates
B．Compensate by writing letters
C．It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeper
D．Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it
E．Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication
F．It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media
G．You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇应用文，介绍了五种维系异地友谊的方法。
1．答案与解析：D　上文“With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge.”(平日繁忙，很难抽出时间打电话。)讲的是双方都很忙碌，很难有时间给对方打电话，D项“尽量找个双方都有空的时间去打电话，并坚持下去” 给出了解决没时间打电话这个问题的方法，符合题意。故选D项。
2．答案与解析：E　上文“Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both.”(确保你已经和你的朋友沟通过，了解你们想要联系的频率，以及哪种方法对你们双方都最有效。)提到异地朋友之间要商量沟通方式，E项“朋友需要谈论他们喜欢的交流方式”承接上文，进一步提出对交流的方法的沟通，下文“There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.”(除了持续的文字交流，还有其他选择，比如留下语音信息或进行群聊。)对E项中的“methods of communication”进行了举例说明，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
3．答案与解析：G　下文“The friend who is remaining”(留下来的朋友)和“The one in the new environment”(在新环境中的那个)提到朋友的两个不同处境，G项“你可能是朋友中离开的那一方，也可能是被留下的那一方”指出了异地友谊中分为离开的一方和留下的一方，其中“the friend who left”和“the one who was left behind”分别对应下文“The one in the new environment”和“The friend who is remaining”，所以G项符合题意。故选G项。
4．答案与解析：A　分析文章结构可知，设空处的内容是维系异地友谊的第四个方法，是第五段的小标题。下文“Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long distance friendships.”(周年纪念日和生日对于异地友谊而言是非常重要的。)讲的是诸如周年纪念日和生日等重要的日子对于维系异地友谊是非常重要的，由此推知，这段对应的维系异地友谊的方法是A项“记得重要的日子”，所以A项符合题意。故选A项。
5．答案与解析：F　设空处所在句子的后半句“but long distance friendships—even close ones—may require more conscious effort to sustain.”(但是异地友谊——甚至是关系亲密的友谊——可能需要更加自觉地去维系。)讲的是我们要更加自觉地维系异地友谊，其中“but”说明后半句与设空处形成转折，而F项“朋友之间很容易通过社交媒体产生一种联结感”讲的是可以通过社交媒体这种方式很容易与朋友产生联结，与后半句“require more conscious effort to sustain”形成转折，而且其中的“social media”呼应了该段的小标题“Don't rely on technology alone”(不要仅仅依赖技术)中的“technology”。故选F项。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。一天，一只狗狗出现在作者家门口的台阶上，似乎被人遗弃了。作者收留了它，并给它起名Goldie。起初，Goldie情绪低落，几乎不吃东西。一周之后，它开始依恋作者。可是，有一天外出散步的时候，它却跑向了一户农舍。当作者追上去的时候，发现它正在舔自己的四个宝宝。它的主人对Goldie的失而复得感到非常开心，最后作者收养了Goldie四个宝宝中的一个。
1．A.kicked B．invited
C．asked D．knocked
答案与解析：A　根据下文中的“at her previous owner's”可知，狗狗似乎是被遗弃了。据此可以推测，狗狗可能是被前任主人从车上踢(kicked)下来的。
2．A.credit B．food
C．space D．security
答案与解析：C　根据本句中的“with the new baby coming”和生活常识可知，新生儿降生需要占用家里的空间，这样就不再有狗狗的空间(space)了。credit“信用，信贷，声望，学分”；security“保证，安全”。
3．A.hurting B．buying
C．selling D．abandoning
答案与解析：D　根据上文的描述和本句中的“People find all sorts of excuses”可以推测，人们会找各种借口遗弃(abandoning)动物。
4．A.case B．tone
C．air D．status
答案与解析：C　根据空前的“She was so unsettled... hardly able to eat anything”和空后的“sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy”可知，Goldie心绪不宁，几乎不吃东西，作者也没法让它开心起来。据此可以推断，Goldie带着悲伤的神情。此处air意为“感觉，印象，神态”，属于熟词生义的用法。case“实例，案件，箱子”；tone“语气，腔调，口吻”；status“地位，身份”。
5．A.sat down B．calmed down
C．broke down D．slowed down
答案与解析：B　此处与上文的“She was so unsettled during those first few days”形成对比。结合空后的“Always by my side”可以看出，在第一周结束时，Goldie平静(calmed down)了下来。break down“使分解，出故障”；slow down“放慢节奏”。
6．A.shock B．comfort
C．delight D．horror
答案与解析：A　根据上文中的“Always by my side...the fire”可以看出，Goldie很粘作者，因此，“she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk”让作者很震惊(shock)。comfort“安慰者，慰藉物”；delight“使人高兴的事”；horror“令人惊恐的事”。
7．A.restless B．helpless
C．annoyed D．scared
答案与解析：A　根据空前的“she started barking”和下文中的“I couldn't hold her any longer”可知，Goldie变得坐立不安(restless)。helpless“无助的”；annoyed“恼怒的，烦恼的”；scared“惊恐的，恐惧的”。
8．A.took off B．showed off
C．kept off D．raced off
答案与解析：D　根据下文中的“By the time I reached the farm”可知，Goldie朝那户农舍跑了过去。take off“脱掉，起飞”；show off“炫耀，卖弄”；keep off“使让开，阻止……靠近”；race off“跑开”。
9．A.bored B．upset
C．patient D．thrilled
答案与解析：B　空处与空前的tired并列，应在感彩上保持一致。根据语境可知，作者一路追过来，当作者到达农舍时，作者感到很累，且对Goldie的行为感到生气。be upset with...“对……感到不快”。bored“厌烦的”；patient“有耐心的”；thrilled“非常兴奋，极为激动的”。
10．A.devoted B．grateful
C．sympathetic D．committed
答案与解析：C　根据空前的“when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies”并结合生活常识可知，看到Goldie舔四只小狗时，作者不禁对它们感到同情(sympathetic)。devoted“挚爱的，忠诚的”；grateful“感激的”；committed“尽心尽力的，忠诚的”。
11．A.show B．walk
C．sale D．tour
答案与解析：B　根据空后的“soon after the puppies were born”并结合生活常识可知，此处表示Goldie生了小狗之后，主人带它去散步(walk)，也可以理解成遛狗。
12．A.injured B．killed
C．lost D．trapped
答案与解析：C　根据上文的“she just disappeared”可知，小男孩认为Goldie迷路(lost)了。injured“受伤的，有伤的”。
13．A.with care B．with joy
C．in astonishment D．in terror
答案与解析：B　结合生活常识可知，Goldie走丢之后又回来了，小主人的眼中闪烁着喜悦(with joy)。 with care“小心地”；in astonishment “惊讶地”；in terror“惊恐地”。
14．A.fellow B．owner
C．friend D．mother
答案与解析：D　根据上文中的“I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies”和本句中的“she looks just like”可以推测，Goldie应该是Nugget的母亲(mother)。fellow“家伙，同伴，同事”。
15．A.judge B．expect
C．tease D．observe
答案与解析：A　根据上文可知，Goldie的主人并没有遗弃Goldie，而Goldie之所以跑走也不是因为不感恩作者。综上可知，在生活中，我们不应该通过表面去评判(judge)别人。tease“取笑，嘲弄”；observe“注意到，观察到”。

2024·济南市高三检测 应用文 280词 ★★★☆☆
If you always sit indoors for too long, putting on weight may become a trouble. Tired of all that fat If so, these sports can help you burn the most calories.
Running
“Running is one of the best caloric burners out there，” qualified personal trainer Daniel Saltos says. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1，000 calories in one hour of running. “Speed, pace, and tolerance are all factors that can impact this range. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories.”
Swimming
“Swimming is a workout that produces the lowest impact on body while it still can burn 500 to 600 calories in just 30 minutes，” Saltos says. Swimming also improves heart health and increases strength—all great reasons for playing in the water.
Boxing
Not only is boxing a great way to release energy, but it also helps improve balance, builds up tolerance and strengthens the upper body and core. “Boxing helps you get a good calorie burn, too, with the average person burning up 400 to 800 calories in an hour session，” Saltos says.
Rowing
The pushing and pulling motion of rowing machines targets multiple muscle groups including the arms, core, and back, helping you to burn more calories. “An hour of rowing will burn 400 to 600 calories on average，” Saltos says.
1．Which sport can burn the most calories per hour
A．Boxing. B．Running.
C．Swimming. D．Rowing.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据Running中的“An average person...hour of running”可知，一个普通人在一小时的跑步中可以消耗500到1 000卡路里的热量。根据Swimming中的“Swimming is a．..just 30 minutes”可知，游泳在短短30分钟内仍然可以燃烧500到600卡路里。根据Boxing中的“Boxing helps you...an hour session”可知，拳击一小时能燃烧400到800卡路里。根据Rowing中的“An hour of...calories on average”可知，一小时的划船平均可以燃烧400到600卡路里。由此可知，游泳每小时燃烧的卡路里最多。
2．What is the advantage of swimming according to the text
A．It enhances balance.
B．It improves tolerance.
C．It produces low impact.
D．It builds muscle groups.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据Swimming中的“Swimming is a workout that produces the lowest impact on body”可知，游泳是一种对身体影响最小的锻炼方式。
3．Who is the text intended for
A．Great athletes. B．Fitness experts.
C．Sports reporters. D．Overweight persons.
答案与解析：D　推断。通读全文，尤其是第一段的内容可知，本文旨在介绍四项帮助减肥的运动。由此可推知，本篇文章是写给肥胖者的。

2024·济南市检测 新闻报道 324词 ★★★☆☆
Lam Hon ming, director of the State Key Laboratory at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is a top expert in soybean (大豆) research. Since 1998, Lam's team has been cooperating with scientists in Chinese mainland. In 2010, he came across Zhang Guohong, an agricultural expert from Gansu, China, at a national soybean conference. With the same major, they hit it off and decided to improve farmers' lives and promote local agriculture.
Farmers in Gansu depend largely on the weather for their livelihood, mainly on rainfall, which is also a cause of severe poorness in the area. In 2016, they developed three new soybean varieties suited to salty soil and rare rainfall of Northwest China. All received official government approval.
As the land in Northwest China is not suitable for the growth of common varieties of soybeans, local farmers never planted soybeans, and it became a major problem for spreading new soybeans. Lam and Zhang increased communication with farmers through various ways. To ensure farmers' income, Lam struck a partnership with a Hong Kong food company that will purchase all soybeans at market price when they are harvested.
By 2020, the planting area of the three approved soybeans in Gansu had gone beyond 2.4 million square kilometers, covering 46 of the province's 80 plus counties, and the output had reached 7.71 million kilograms, adding about 30 million yuan to local farmers' income.
Zhang said that Professor Lam's contribution has greatly pushed the poorness relief and agricultural research in Northwest China. “It is hard to keep doing agricultural research with less funding. And it is more difficult to travel from Hong Kong to the poor areas of the Northwest to do agricultural research，” he added. In the future, Lam will continue to work with mainland scientists and lead more “Hong Kong power” into the development of the country's Northwest.
【语篇解读】　香港中文大学国家重点实验室主任林汉明和甘肃的农业专家张国宏通过自己的研究成果帮助甘肃农民改善生活，推动甘肃当地农业发展。
4．What can we know about the two scientists from Paragraph 1
A．They have been friends since 1998.
B．They both major in agriculture.
C．They once served in the same lab.
D．They met by chance in Hong Kong.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“Lam Hon ming...soybean (大豆) research”“In 2010...With the same major, they hit it off and decided to improve farmers' lives and promote local agriculture”可知，林汉明是大豆研究的顶级专家。2010年，他在一次全国大豆会议上偶遇了来自甘肃的农业专家张国宏，他们两位专业相同。据此可知，这两位科学家都主修农业。
5．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Rainfall is not enough.
B．The locals lived a poor life.
C．Little land is rich in nutrition.
D．The farmers never planted soybeans.
答案与解析：D　理解词汇。根据第三段画线词所在句“As the land...spreading new soybeans”可知，由于西北地区的土地不适合种植普通大豆品种，当地农民从不种植大豆，这成为推广新大豆的一大难题。it指代上文的当地农民从不种植大豆这种情况，故选D。
6．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A．More work needs to be done.
B．All farmers become better off.

非谓语动词之间区分步骤实例(2)
例题 You can imagine how terribly shy I was with so many eyes________ (fix) upon me.
步骤
① 找逻辑主语：eye发生fix这一动作，eyes是逻辑主语
② 判断主被动关系： eye与fix之间是逻辑上的被动关系，用fixed
答案,fixed　此处是一个with复合结构。宾语eyes与fix之间存在逻辑上的被动关系，故用其过去分词形式fixed作宾语补足语练习26　语法填空＋七选五＋完形填空

2024·浙江1月 新闻报道 230词 ★★★☆☆
The shelves in most supermarkets are full of family size this and multi buy that. However, if you're shopping for one, buying extra 1.________ (benefit) from price reductions doesn't make sense. Either your shopping is then too heavy to carry home 2.________ you can't use what you've bought while it's still fresh.
Of course, shops are not charities—they price goods in the way 3.________ will make them the most money. If most of their customers are happy to buy larger quantities, that's 4.________ they'll promote. But that leaves the solo (单独) customers out of pocket and disappointed.
Many supermarkets are no longer doing “buy one get one free” promotions because of the 5.________ (criticize) that they lead to waste. Consumers prefer money off individual items. However, though it's nice to get a few cents off a pack of sausages, it would help even more if they could sometimes 6.________ (offer) in smaller packs. Even the biggest sausage fan doesn't want to eat them every day.
If your supermarket sells loose produce, then buying smaller quantities is easier. Over the last two years, some supermarkets 7.________ (start) selling chicken or salad in packs 8.________ (design) with two halves containing separate portions (份). Then, when you use one section, 9.________ other stays fresh.
Who knows, perhaps some of the more forward looking 10.________ (one) may yet come out with a whole range of “just for you” pack sizes with special offers as well.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章对商家各式各样的促销手段进行了介绍。
1．答案与解析：to benefit　然而，如果你是想买一件，那么多买一件来享受降价是没有意义的。根据句意可知，此处指多买一件来享受降价，应用动词不定式作目的状语，故填to benefit。
2．答案与解析：or　要么你买的东西太重，搬不回家，要么你不能在你买的东西仍然新鲜时使用。“either...or...”为固定句式，表示“要么……要么……”，故填or。
3．答案与解析：that/which　当然，商店不是慈善机构——他们以最赚钱的方式给商品定价。空处引导定语从句，先行词为way，定语从句中缺少主语，故填that/which。
4．答案与解析：what　如果他们的大多数客户都乐意大量购买，那他们就会推广。空处引导表语从句，从句中缺少promote的宾语，且空处表示“……的事物”，故填what。
5．答案与解析：criticism　许多超市不再进行“买一送一”的促销活动，因为有人批评这些活动会造成浪费。空处作because of的宾语，根据空前的the和空后that引导的同位语从句可知，空处应用名词criticism表示“批评”，故填criticism。
6．答案与解析：be offered　然而，虽然一包香肠能便宜几美分是件好事，但如果有时能以小包装出售，那就更好了。空处在if引导的条件状语从句中作谓语，从句的主语they指代上文中的sausages，动词offer和从句主语构成被动关系，且空前有情态动词could，故填be offered。
7．答案与解析：have started　空处在句中作谓语，根据时间状语“Over the last two years”可知，空处应用现在完成时，且主语为复数名词，空处应用复数形式，故填have started。
8．答案与解析：designed　第7空在句中作谓语，空处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰packs；动词design意为“设计”，与其逻辑主语packs构成动宾关系，应用过去分词形式，故填designed。
9．答案与解析：the　然后，当你食用其中一部分时，另一部分保持新鲜。the other特指两部分或两者中的另一个，故填the。
10．答案与解析：ones　谁知道呢，也许一些更有远见的人可能还会推出各种“只为你”的包装尺寸，并提供特别优惠。代词one意为“(某类人中的)一个”，其前有some of修饰，空处应用复数形式，故填ones。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了养宠物给孩子们带来的益处。
1．答案与解析：G　分析语境寻线索：该空位于第一段段尾，该空前面提到家长对孩子养宠物可能不支持，后文的Teach responsibility以及Encourage exercise等说明让孩子养宠物是有好处的，由此可知该空起到承上启下的作用→对比选项定答案：综合各选项可知，G项“然而，允许孩子养宠物可以教给你们双方一些重要的经验”符合语境。
2．答案与解析：F　空前一句提到养宠物可以帮助孩子们了解适当照顾对让他们的新朋友快乐和健康的重要性，该句话中的proper care是解题的关键，与选项F中的“be fed, given fresh water, and exercised regularly”构成意义上的衔接，故选F。

5．答案与解析：E　分析语境寻线索：该段主要讲要客观地对待养宠物一事。空前一句讲到你最好确保全家人都知道养宠物的要求。空后讲到把宠物带回家之前先让你的孩子和它接触一下，建立健康的关系，由此可推知，E项承上启下，且与下一句存在一定的因果关系，故选E项。

2．A.created B．denied
C．needed D．weighed

However, people still like to call the 9.________ (good) person in their field a zhuangyuan. The old saying 10.________ (go) that there are 360 trades and every trade has its master, or zhuangyuan.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。在古代科举考试中获得第一名的学者被称为状元。现在科举考试已经被取消很多年了，然而，人们仍然喜欢称他们领域里最好的人为状元。
1．答案与解析：to return　如果你有机会回到古代中国，问一个受过教育的人他最大的梦想是什么，他会告诉你，他想成为一个状元，这是一个授予在最高科举考试中获得第一名的学者的头衔。在If引导的条件状语从句中已有谓语动词had，空处应用动词不定式作后置定语，修饰名词chance，说明chance内容。故填to return。
2．答案与解析：what　参见上题解析。空处引导宾语从句，作ask的宾语，从句中缺少表语，此处表示“问一个受过教育的人他最大的梦想是什么”，应用what引导该宾语从句。故填what。
3．答案与解析：given　参见第1题解析。空前的a title是名词作同位语，空处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰a title。a title和动词give之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词形式。故填given。
4．答案与解析：an　在中国古代，成为一名官员并不那么容易。official“官员”为可数名词，其前无限定词，又根据句意，此处表示“成为一名官员”，空处应用不定冠词表示泛指。official的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
5．答案与解析：procedures　考试很难，有很多程序。procedure“程序，步骤，手续”可作可数名词，空前有many修饰，空处应用复数形式。故填procedures。
6．答案与解析：himself 　结果必须得到皇帝本人的确认。根据语境可知，此处表示“皇帝本人”，应用反身代词himself。故填himself。
7．答案与解析：as　一旦你被选为状元，你将受到皇帝的赏识，并穿着红礼袍和一匹高大强壮的马出现在市中心的游行队伍中。be selected as意为“被选为”。故填as。
8．答案与解析：competitive　现在这种皇家竞争性的考试已经被取消很多年了。空处应用形容词作定语，修饰名词examination，compete的形容词形式是competitive，意为“竞争的，竞争性的”。故填competitive。
9．答案与解析：best　然而，人们仍然喜欢称他们领域里最好的人为状元。根据语境和空前的定冠词the可知，空处用形容词的最高级形式。故填best。
10．答案与解析：goes　俗话说“三百六十行，行行出状元”。空处在主句中作谓语，此处叙述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时；主语The old saying是单数形式，空处应用单数形式。故填goes。

2024·武汉调研 说明文 304词 ★★★★☆
When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of response misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don't hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it's pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect (方言) , too. In the field of the language study，a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure , phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not？” (meaning “Have you eaten？” )is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn't mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers' solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it's different
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects—for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people's cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one's identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We'd learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.
【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了口音指的是什么，口音存在的普遍性以及口音的价值所在。
1．What does the author think of his/her friends' response in Paragraph 1
A．It reflects their self confidence.
B．It reflects their language levels.
C．It misses the point of communication.
D．It misses the real meaning of accents.
答案与解析：D　推断。根据第一段中的“Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc”和第二段中的“what we mean when we say someone... with an accent”可知，通常情况下，当我们说某人“有口音”时，我们的意思是某个人的口音与当地的口音有差别或者和我们自己的发音有区别，事实上每个人都有口音。据此可以推测，朋友的回答很明显误解了“口音”的真正含义，故D项正确。
2．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English
A．To justify the use of dialects.
B．To show the diversity of dialects.
C．To correct a grammatical mistake.
D．To highlight a traditional approach.
答案与解析：A　推断。举例一般是为了说明上文中提到的较为抽象或晦涩的概念。根据第三段中举例前面的“a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words”可以看出，作者之所以拿新加坡的方言举例是为了说明方言不过是具有特定结构、短语和词汇的语言变体，由该段最后一句也可知，不能因为方言是不同的就认为它不正确。故A项“证明使用方言是正当的”正确。
3．What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph
A．Learn to speak with our local dialect.
B．Seek for an official definition of accents.
C．Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
D．Distinguish our local languages from others'.
答案与解析：C　推断。根据最后一段中的“Language differences like these provide insights into... make friends along the way”可知，语言的差异会让我们更加了解不同的文化经历和背景，了解我们居住的世界，并帮助我们结交朋友。由此可以推断，作者建议我们要懂得欣赏口音和方言的价值，故C项正确。
4．What can be a suitable title for this passage
A．Everyone Has an Accent
B．Accents Enhance Our Identities
C．Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding
D．Standard English Is at Risk
答案与解析：A　理解文章主旨要义。本文第一段通过朋友们的反应引出口音这个话题；第二段讲述了对口音的正确理解，并指出每个人都有口音；第三段讲到了每个人都在讲方言，并以新加坡英语口语为例说明使用方言是正当的；第四段讲到了口音和方言的价值所在，并鼓励读者学会欣赏口音和方言。故A项“每个人都有口音”适合作本文的标题。

2024·南京市、盐城市模拟 说明文 309词 ★★★☆☆
Among my friends, one topic seems to dominate their conversations: bones. It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture (骨折). Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how to strengthen your bones best and whether diet really makes a difference.
Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven't been consistent. But__gradually__some__clarity__is__emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, it's useful to look at new data on vitamin D. Calcium is the key element for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we eat, so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充物) to make up for age related bone loss.
But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density (密度). “Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults，” says Mery LeBoff, who led the study.
What does help maintain strong bones for all of us The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. “Getting it from food is best，” LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients (营养物), and you have more continuous absorption than from D supplements.”
The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu.
【语篇解读】　一项研究表明服用补充维生素D五年并不能降低老年人的骨折率，但高钙食物和运动有助于增强骨骼健康。
5．What do the statistics in Paragraph 1 emphasize
A．The seriousness of bone problems.
B．The concern about senior citizens.
C．The confusion about strengthening bones.
D．The importance of having a balanced diet.
答案与解析：A　推断。根据第一段中的“It makes sense...will develop a fracture (骨折)”可知，这些数据表明美国男性女性的骨质疏松问题严重，世界范围内男性女性发生骨折现象也比比皆是。故该段中用真实数据强调了现实中人们骨骼问题的严重性。故A项正确。
6．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 imply
A．Diet research is no longer a challenge.
B．We've made resolutions to study diets.
C．Findings on bone health prove to be similar.
D．We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy.
答案与解析：D　理解句意。根据第二段中的“Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven't been consistent”和But表转折可知，前文讲关于营养和骨骼健康的研究结果也不一致，后文应该讲就保持骨骼健康一事大家达成了共识；本段中的“so doctors often recommend D supplements(补充物)to make up for age related bone loss”也是提示。故D项正确。
7．What can be inferred from the recent study
A．People can absorb vitamin D in food easily.
B．The findings go against LeBoff's earlier ones.
C．D supplements play a minor role than expected.
D.Fractures are linked with weight bearing exercise.
答案与解析：C　推断。根据第三段中的“But a recent study found...these supplements do not improve bone density (密度)”可知，最近的研究表明，维生素D补充剂没能起到预期效果，即减少老年人的骨折率。再根据第四段中的“because there are so many other nutrients(营养物), and you have more continuous absorption than from D supplements”可知，还有其他营养物质吸收效果好于维生素D。两者都明确表明维生素D对保持骨骼的健康而言效果不佳。故C项正确。
8．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Recipes for better bones
B．Your bones cry!
C．The magic of D supplements
D．Vitamin D wins!
答案与解析：A　理解文章主旨要义。第一段主要讲现实中人们骨骼问题的严重性；第二段主要讲渐渐地人们开始就保持骨骼健康问题的方法——吃维生素D补充剂——达成一致；根据第三段中的“But a recent study found... fractures in seniors”可知，维生素D补充剂在减少老年人骨折方面没有起到预期效果。再根据第四段中的“What does help... milk and tofu”和第五段可知，要想保持强健的骨骼，最简单的方式是吃含钙高的食物，比如牛奶和豆腐，另一种方法是多进行日常锻炼。由此可知，本文给人们提供了两种更好的强健骨骼的诀窍。故A项作本文的标题最佳。

2024·新课标Ⅰ卷，C 议论文 333词 ★★☆☆☆
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material The answers to both questions are often “no”. The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset (心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it's on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine__through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper's physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they've read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说)”. According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies—say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn't assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
语篇类型：议论文　主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术——学习媒介的选择
【语篇解读】　本文探讨了有纸化学习与无纸化学习的区别，并提出用纸质书籍更容易让人投入、专心学，而电子书籍更容易使人分心，故阅读印刷品比阅读电子书籍记得更多。
1．What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Seem unlikely to last.
B．Seem hard to explain.
C．Become ready to use.
D．Become easy to notice.
答案与解析：D　理解词汇。根据本段第一句谈到当阅读几百字或更多字的文本时，有纸化学习通常比在屏幕上学习更成功，接着谈到大量的研究证实了这一发现。故画线短语所在部分应该是指从提出简单的任务转向需要抽象思维的任务时，这种有纸化阅读的好处尤其明显，也就是说很容易被注意到，答案为D。
2．What does the shallowing hypothesis assume
A．Readers treat digital texts lightly.
B．Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C．People select digital texts randomly.
D．Digital texts are suitable for social media.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据题干中的shallowing hypothesis可以将答案定位在第四段中。根据第四段中的“which are often not so serious”以及“devote less mental effort”可知，在对待电子文本的时候，读者通常不是很严肃，同时比阅读纸质文本时投入的精力要少，即读者对电子文本不是很重视，答案为A。
3．Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers
A．They can hold students' attention.
B．They are more convenient to prepare.
C．They help develop advanced skills.
D．They are more informative than text.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据题干可将解题信息定位在第五段。本段第一句谈到音频和视频比文字更吸引人，所以大学教师越来越多地改用这些技术，故选A。
4．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A.Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B.Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C．Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D．Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.
答案与解析：C　推断。根据最后一段首先谈到电子文本、音频和视频都具有教育作用，特别是在提供纸质文本无法提供的资源时。“However”后提到为了最大限度地进行需要集中注意力和反思的学习，教育者不应该假设所有媒体都是一样的，即使它们包含相同的词汇。这与倒数第二段最后一句中的信息意思一致：当成年人阅读新闻故事时，他们比听或看相同的片段能记住更多内容，也就是说有纸化学习在教育中是不能完全被取代的，答案为C。A项“学生们应该应用多种学习技巧”；B项“教师应制作自己的教材”；C项“纸质文本在教育中是不能完全被取代的”；D项“课堂外的教育不容忽视”。

2024·九省联考 议论文 288词 ★★★☆☆
In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument—and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives—and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions—like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell__out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument—not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments—from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other—then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。作者阐述了争论的意义和赢得争论的方法。
5．What is the author's attitude toward Carnegie's understanding of argument
A．Critical. B．Supportive.
C．Tolerant. D．Uncertain.
答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据第一段中“This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives—and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.(这种对争论的厌恶是很普遍的，但它取决于对争论的错误看法，这种观点会给我们的个人和社会生活带来问题——而且在很多方面，它首先忽略了争论的意义。)”可知，作者对于Carnegie对争论的看法持批判态度，故选A。
6．Why do many people try to avoid arguments
A．They lack debating skills.
B．They may feel bad even if they win.
C．They fear being ignored.
D．They are not confident in themselves.
答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions—like, say, tennis tournaments.(和身体上的打斗一样，言语上的打斗也会两败俱伤。即使你赢了，你最终也不会变得更好。如果争论只是一场比赛，比如网球比赛，你也会感觉很糟糕。)”可知， 很多人尽量避免争论，是因为即使赢了他们也感觉很糟糕，故选B。
7．What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Defend. B．Explain.
C．Conclude. D．Repeat.
答案与解析：B　词句猜测题。根据画线短语所在句“ask them to give you a reason for their view”可知，让他们为自己的观点提供依据，即让他们充分阐明他们的观点，spell out意为“解释明白，讲清楚”，故选B。
8．What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author
A．Sense of logic.
B．Solid supporting evidence.
C．Proper manners.
D．Understanding from both sides.
答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If we readjust our view of arguments—from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other—then we change the very nature of what it means to ‘win’ an argument.(如果我们重新调整我们对争论的看法——从一场口水战或网球比赛转变为一种理性的交流，通过这种交流，我们都能获得彼此的尊重和理解——那么我们就改变了‘赢得’争论的本质。)”可知，作者认为“赢得”争论的关键是通过交流获得彼此的尊重和理解，故选D。

【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了四川省自贡市的井盐和那里的灯笼展的情况。
1．答案与解析：of　考查介词。remind sb.of sth.“提醒某人某事，让某人想到某事”，是固定用法。句意：一提到四川自贡，人们就会想起它的盐生产，这是重要的财政收入来源。
2．答案与解析：an　考查冠词。根据空后的“形容词＋名词单数”可知，空处应用冠词；结合句意可知，此处表泛指，且important的发音以元音音素开头。所以空处填an。
3．答案与解析：stretching　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句的谓语动词是has，空处在句中作非谓语，与其逻辑主语history of mining salt之间是主谓关系，所以空处填stretching。stretch back“回溯到”。
4．答案与解析：operation　考查名词。in operation“运转着”，是固定表达。句意：其中一口盐井叫粲海井，它凿成于1835年，至今仍在运转。
5．答案与解析：currently　考查副词。空处修饰后面的动词produces，应用副词currently。
6．答案与解析：mined　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句的谓语动词是can buy，空处在句中作非谓语。mine在此作动词，意为“开矿，采矿”，与其逻辑主语iodine free salt之间是动宾关系，所以空处填mined。
7．答案与解析：which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为表示物的名词Spring Festival，关系词在从句中作主语，所以空处填which。
8．答案与解析：to view　考查非谓语动词。结合句意可知，空处＋后面的名词短语构成非谓语动词短语作目的状语，所以空处填不定式to view。句意：但是，今年的春节是星期天，在春节期间，更多的人涌向自贡去观看世界著名的灯笼。春节一般以农历正月十五的元宵节为结束标志。
9．答案与解析：city's　考查名词所有格。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的名词短语lantern show，此处为所属关系，所以填city's。
10．答案与解析：started　考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，空处作主句的谓语。结合时间状语in the 1980s可知，时态用一般过去时；主语The popular show与start之间是主动关系，所以空处填started。

2024·云南高三质检 说明文 327词 ★★★★☆
In about 23 years, it may finally be time to look up. A recently discovered asteroid (小行星) has a chance of hitting the earth on Valentine's Day in 2046. It was discovered on Feb.26 at an observatory in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.
While the thought of an asteroid hitting the earth may sound concerning, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) says people shouldn't be worried.
The asteroid has an estimated diameter of around 160 feet, which is about the same size as an Olympic swimming pool or the width of a football field.
“We've been tracking a new asteroid named 2023 DW that has a very small chance of impacting the earth. Often when new objects are discovered, it takes several weeks' data to reduce the uncertainties and adequately predict their orbits years into the future，” NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) said.
The asteroid is ranked on the Torino Scale as Level 1 threat. The scale is a tool to categorize potential earth impacts, with zero being no threat and 10 being something that can cause a global disaster. One on the Torino Scale means 2023 DW is in the normal or green zone.
“Current calculations show the chance of collision (碰撞) is extremely unlikely with no need for public concern，” NASA says of the green zone. “New telescopic observations will very likely lead to reassignment to Level 0.”
Although 2023 DW doesn't pose a great risk to the earth, NASA has been continuing to work to defend our planet from any asteroid that could cause disasters.
In September, 2022, NASA crashed its Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft, or DART, into an asteroid to see if it could change the trajectory of the space rock. NASA later confirmed the mission was a success, and is continuing to research how effective the method is, should a massive asteroid be headed our way.
【语篇解读】　美国国家航空航天局通过目前的计算显示，2023 DW小行星碰撞地球的可能性极低。
1．What does NASA's PDCO say about 2023 DW
A．It is too close to the earth.
B．It must be destroyed in space.
C．Its orbit is still uncertain now.
D．Its orbit should be changed.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。第四段说的是美国国家航空航天局的行星防御协调办公室认为，2023 DW新小行星撞击地球的可能性非常小；当发现新天体时，他们往往会通过几周的数据减少这些新天体的不确定性，并充分预测它们未来几年的轨道。由此可知，该部门认为2023 DW新小行星的轨道尚不确定，故选C。
2．How is 2023 DW ranked on the Torino Scale
A．As Level zero threat.
B．As Level ten threat.
C．In the normal zone.
D．In the threatening zone.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第五段中的“The asteroid is ranked on the Torino Scale as Level 1 threat”和“One on the Torino Scale means 2023 DW is in the normal or green zone”可知，2023 DW小行星在都灵等级中被列为1级威胁，且都灵等级中的1表示2023 DW处于正常区域。由此可知，2023 DW在都灵等级中被列入正常区域，故选C。
3．What does the underlined word “trajectory” mean in the last paragraph
A．Size. B．Weight.
C．Angle. D．Path.
答案与解析：D　理解词汇。根据上文可知，美国国家航空航天局通过研究该天体的轨道来预测并减少其对地球造成的威胁。由此可知，画线词意为“轨道”，故选D。句意：美国国家航空航天局将双小行星重定向测试航天器(DART)撞向一颗小行星，以观察它是否能改变太空岩石的轨道。
4．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．An Asteroid Was Discovered at an Observatory in Chile
B．An Asteroid Is Coming Our Way, Unlikely to Hit Us
C．A Space Rock Has Just Passed the Earth
D．A Spacecraft Has Been Crashed Recently
答案与解析：B　理解文章主旨要义。通读全文可知，本文主要讲了美国国家航空航天局通过目前的计算显示，2023 DW小行星碰撞地球的可能性极低。故B项最适合作文章的标题。

2024·山东济南摸底 说明文 310词 ★★☆☆☆
Consumers in the United States spent nearly $3.7 million on dish washing soap in 2018 to get their dishes clean. That sets the question：Do we really need dish washing soap to get our dishes clean The short answer is: No. __1__
How can we get our dishes clean without using dish washing soap Hot water is an effective and time tested method. A lot of what we eat is water soluble and can simply be washed away with very hot water. __2__ They need an alkali (碱) to break them down. So，if you're out of dish soap and have a thick oily pan to wash, you'll need to make your own soap by adding an alkali to hot water.
You can also run your dishwasher using only the rinse (漂洗) cycle. Simply remove the remains and prerinse your dishes thoroughly by hand and load as usual in the machine. Add white vinegar, a sharp tasting liquid used in cooking, to the cleaning cup. __3__ Set your dishwasher on the rinse cycle and you will get clean, shiny dishes.
If you're a camper or a farmer, plant and wood ashes—remains of burnt plants and wood—are readily available in the remains of your campfire, which have served as dish washing soap for a long time. Gather some ashes from your campfire and put them in a pot. In a separate pot boil some water. Slowly pour hot water over the ashes, just enough to make a mixture. __4__ While wood ashes may not win the good housekeeping seal of approval, they'll clean your pan and get it ready for air drying.
__5__ So whether you find yourself down to the last drop of your dish washing soap at home, forget to bring it along on your camping trip or just want to try an eco friendly and natural alternative, turn to these things to help you.
A.We can get along without it.
B．An eco friendly cleaning solution is created.
C．Animal fats and proteins, however，are the opposite.
D．People used unusual things in the natural world around them.
E．Dish washing soap has only been around since the mid 20th century.
F．It's good to know that there're alternatives to make your dishes clean.
G．The acid will wipe out the harmful things and keep the dishes from having spots.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不用洗洁精也能清洗干净盘子的几个方法。
1．答案与解析：A　空处紧跟空前问题“我们真的需要洗洁精来把我们的盘子弄干净吗？”的回答“不”，说明没有洗洁精我们也能把盘子洗干净，故A项符合语境，且与空后问题“我们如何不用洗洁精就能把我们的盘子弄干净呢？”联系紧密。
2．答案与解析：C　根据空后的“They need an alkali (碱) to break them down.”可知，They指的是无法用热水洗掉的食物残留。故C项“然而，动物脂肪和蛋白质恰恰相反”符合语境。且C项与空前的“我们吃的很多东西都是水溶性的，可以简单地用非常热的水冲走”形成转折。
3．答案与解析：G　空前的“Add white vinegar...”提供了另一种洗涤的方法，因此，空处应该会讲到添加白醋的原因，故G项“酸可以除掉有害物质，清除盘子上的污渍”符合语境。
4．答案与解析：B　空前的“Gather some ashes...just enough to make a mixture.”讲述了用篝火灰作清洁剂的全部过程，故B项“一个环境友好的清洁方案就形成了”符合语境。
5．答案与解析：F　空后讲了在多种情况下你可以用这些清洁替代方式来帮助你，故此处应是说知道一些清洁替代方式是很有好处的，故F项符合语境。

[2024·河北石家庄摸底检测]For courage, my fingers hold tight to the harness (挽具) on Chó's broad back as we pass my neighbor's fence. Chó is my guide dog, a German shepherd (德国牧羊犬). Walking by Mr. Groll's yard is the best part of our morning walk...and also the worst. It is the best part because the roses talk to us. “Good morning, Chó，” whisper the roses' sweet smell to Chó's nose. Other roses shout to me, “Hello, Mai！” with a smell that bursts as firecrackers. Now comes the worst part—the unfriendly neighbor that shades us: Mr. Groll. I greet him as I do every morning. And like every other morning, he does not answer me. But I know he's there, watching, behind his fence.
Maybe he's afraid of me because I'm blind. Disabilities scare grown ups sometimes. Then remember: yesterday I heard him playing checkers with my friend Jimmy, who's in a wheelchair. Why does Mr. Groll ignore me He likes roses. I like roses. Why can't two people who like roses like each other It's a mystery (谜) to me.
Papa has told me that some folks do not like people from faraway places. Does this solve the mystery Maybe Mr. Groll does not like Vietnamese neighbors. No, that can't be it. Every Saturday Mr. Groll and my big brother, Lien, help each other with yard work. They are friends. Well, then, maybe he doesn't like me because I'm a girl. The sidewalk hums beneath my feet. A skateboard speeds by. “ Hello, Mai and Chó！” my friend Jana shouts, “ Hi, Mr. Groll. ” I wait. If Mr. Groll ignores Jana, then the mystery is solved. But his voice calls out, “Hello, Jana！” The sound of it breaks my heart.
Now I know something I didn't know before: some people who can see can be blind. Sometimes, their hearts don't see any better than my eyes do. And I also know that unfriendly Mr. Groll likes Jimmy. And Lien. And Jana. But not me and Chó！ Suddenly, an idea brightens my mystery. Maybe I do know why Mr. Groll doesn't talk to me! “Down，” I command. Chó does as I say.

One possible version：
　　 I attach her harness to a tree and I feel my way along the fence. I knock on the door, hoping he'll answer this time. After a few moments, I hear footsteps approaching. “Good morning, Mr. Groll！” There is no response. Taking a deep breath, I continue, “I know you like roses, and so do I. Maybe we can talk about them some time？” “Sure...Mai，” he responds hesitantly. As we stand there, surrounded by the beautiful roses, I feel the tension between us slowly disappearing. We talk about the flowers and our friends. Then I express my curiosity about his ignoring me.
“A German shepherd is a very...big dog, ” he says in a voice that tells me he thinks I will laugh at him. Sensing his nervousness, I reassure him that Chó is my friend and that she will be gentle and nice. I persuade him to go with me and command Chó up. Chó leaps to her feet, snorting happily. Mr. Groll is taken aback but then we both share a laugh. From that moment, I realize that sometimes what it takes is but courage and a shared love for something to break down barriers and make new friends.练习8　单句语法填空＋七选五＋完形填空

Ⅰ.单句语法填空(非谓语动词Ⅱ)
1．________ (follow) our example, they may start eating vegetables themselves.
答案与解析：Following　效仿我们的示例，他们自己可能开始吃蔬菜。分析句子结构可知，设空处前面无连词，所以逗号前的内容要作状语，设空处需要填非谓语动词。又因为设空处的动作与主句的主语they之间是主动关系，故用其动词 ing形式作状语。
2．People with disabilities are now doing many things ________ (improve) the quality of their lives.
答案与解析：to improve　为了提高生活质量，残疾人现在做许多事情。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语are doing，所以设空处只能是非谓语动词，又根据句子语境“做许多事情是为了提高生活质量”可知，设空处应该填动词不定式作目的状语。
3．________ (raise) in the poorest area, he had a long, hard road to become a football star.
答案与解析：Raised　因在最贫穷的地区长大，他的球星之路漫长而艰辛。分词短语代替状语从句时，前后主语一致，而句子主语he与动词raise是逻辑上的被动关系，故用raise的过去分词形式。
4．The heavy metal pollutants can also be recycled, ________ (make) the process even more efficient.
答案与解析：making　重金属的污染物也可以被回收利用，从而使这一过程更加有效。根据语境，“使得过程更加有效”是前面提到的“回收利用”的必然结果，故用动词 ing形式作结果状语。
5．The producer comes regularly to collect the cameras ________ (return) to our shop for quality problems.
答案与解析：returned　厂商定期来回收因质量问题而被退回我们店的相机。return在此处作定语修饰cameras，cameras是return这一动作的承受者，故用return的过去分词形式。
6．Every year, thousands of visitors come to visit the old temple ________ (date) from the ninth century.
答案与解析：dating　每年，数以千计的游客都来参观这座始建于9世纪的寺庙。come为本句的谓语动词，且设空处前无连词，故date应用非谓语动词形式。date from意为“起源于”，无被动形式，在此处作定语，故用动词 ing形式的dating。date from无被动形式，考查其非谓语动词的用法时，只能用现在分词的形式dating from。
7．Every single American will have the opportunity ________ (realize) his or her fullest potential.
答案与解析：to realize　每一个美国人都有实现自己最大潜能的机会。have the opportunity to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“有做某事的机会”，故填to realize。
8．________ (sign) up for a digital TV service provides you with access to over 200 channels from all over the globe.
答案与解析：Signing　申请开通一项数字电视服务可让您能收看到来自全球的200多个频道。本句谓语动词为provides，且本句陈述具体的事实，故用动词 ing短语作主语。
9．It is hard ________ (live) with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try ________ (control) my spirit at the same time.
答案与解析：to live；to control　我很难与内心里的这两只狼共处，因为它们两个同时都要来控制我的精神。第一空所在的句子为It作形式主语的句式，“It＋be动词＋adj.＋to do sth.”为固定句型，故不定式短语作句子真正的主语；第二空想要表达“它们同时都要来控制我的精神”的意思，故用不定式作动词的宾语。
10．The health service is ________ (locate) in the main building.
答案与解析：located　医疗服务机构在主楼。分析句子结构可知，本句已有系动词is，设空处应用非谓语动词形式，且设空处在句中作表语，表示主语的状态，故用过去分词located。

[2024·福建福州一检]Though I eat an apple almost every day, one month ago my doctor came to my house standing in front of me, not being kept away, due to my sudden illness.
“Well Jian, I think I need to have a strong talk with you. You are overweight. Have you ever heard about Body Mass Index (指数), BMI Well, I've weighed you and measured your height and you have a BMI of 28. That is obese (肥胖的)，” said the doctor.
I knew I was a little bit overweight but I didn't think it was that bad. He added that my name means “healthy” in Chinese and he thought it was time that I should become healthy. There is a direct link between my health and sport. So he asked me, “How much sport do you do every week？”
I told him that I go for a walk every weekend. Then he replied, “Hmm, that's not a lot. Sport and health go together. They affect your mental, physical and emotional health. For example, sport can improve your mental health, allowing your brain to think better and focus. It will help you to learn more easily. Is that clear, Jian？”
“I think so. I know it would be good to be able to concentrate better at school，” I said.
The doctor explained to me that from a physical point of view, sport makes us tired, so it helps us to sleep better. At the same time, sport burns off the calories that we have consumed. It builds muscle and improves our circulation (血液循环). Sport helps to control our cholesterol count (胆固醇计数) and this is important to stop us having a heart attack. Additionally, it also keeps our blood pressure normal and strengthens our bones.

One possible version：
The doctor's words left me lost in thought. Thinking back to my physical conditions and study, I decided to take his advice. The following day, I got up early and walked to the backyard to take a walk. Hard as it seemed, I insisted on walking fifteen minutes a day. To my satisfaction, I lost several pounds after a week. However, the same scene and people walking alongside me made it boring to continue my walk. I complained to the doctor one day after having a walk.
“Exercising alone is hard. Why not try some team sports？” the doctor suggested. What the doctor said inspired me. But what team sports should I choose I thought about the boys playing basketball every morning in the backyard. I asked them to include me and they did. It was really interesting to do sports with a lot of people. One month later, when examined by the doctor a second time, I owed my good sleep and healthy body to him and thanked him. He smiled and said gently, “Jian, you are ‘Jian’ now. Please hold on！”练习44　语法填空＋七选五＋完形填空

3．答案与解析：which　考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词Biluochun表示物，故填which。句意：碧螺春已有约1000年的历史，碧螺春翻译过来意思是“绿色的螺旋式的春天”，是用嫩茶尖制作的。
4．答案与解析：appearance　考查名词。空处作介词for的宾语，且其前有形容词spiral like修饰，故填名词appearance。
5．答案与解析：are planted　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处作谓语。此处描述客观事实，时态应用一般现在时；plant与主语the tea trees and fruit trees之间是被动关系，应使用被动语态；主语the tea trees and fruit trees表示复数概念，谓语动词应用复数形式。故填are planted。
6．答案与解析：tea's　考查名词所有格。根据空前的the和空后的taste可知，空处与taste之间存在所属关系。故填tea's。句意：祖先传下来的做法保证了茶的果味和甜味。
7．答案与解析：entirely　考查副词。此处修饰介词短语by hand，表示纯手工，应用副词。故填entirely。
8．答案与解析：picked　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，谓语是produce，空处作非谓语。leaves和pick之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词形式，所以空处填picked。句意：从一棵大茶树上摘下来的大约一公斤的叶子加工后只能产出0.1公斤的茶。
9．答案与解析：to adjust　考查非谓语动词。be attentive to do sth.“专心做某事”。故填to adjust。句意：一个人需要特别用心调整火候的大小来根据气味去判断茶叶的状态。
10．答案与解析：comes　考查动词的时态和主谓一致＋倒装结构。分析句子结构可知，本句是完全倒装句。此处描述客观事实，时态应用一般现在时；the shaping process是真正的主语，谓语动词被提到主语前，主语是第三人称单数形式，谓语动词应用单数形式。故填comes。
Ⅱ.七选五
2024·广东广州调研 说明文 230词 ★★★☆☆
Collaboration (协作) happens more often than we realize. __1__. This may seem easy in theory but being an effective collaborator can sometimes be a challenge. Below are the tips on how to improve your collaboration skills.
Listening
__2__. During collaboration, it can be easy to get so wrapped up in your own ideas that you're not giving your full attention and consideration to everyone else's. If everyone in the room falls victim to this, there wouldn't really be any collaboration happening. Take time to really listen and process the ideas of others.
Giving and receiving honest feedback
It's important that everyone is able to be straightforward when giving and receiving feedback. When you share your opinion and someone else disagrees with it, try not to take it personally. __3__. It's not necessarily for your ideas to be right. On the other hand, you should also feel comfortable with giving open and honest feedback to others so long as you're being polite.
__4__
This could be someone who works in a different position at your job, someone with a different background from you, or someone who's an expert in the topic you're seeking information about. This can help to start more dynamic conversations and introduce new ideas you may not have come up with if you were working on your own or with a group of like minded people.
Collaboration may not always be easy. __5__．
A．Appreciating ideas from different fields
B．Seeking collaborators outside your field
C．It's important to not let your self importance take hold
D．Without collaboration, we may not be able to complete most of our work
E．If you do feel annoyed, remind yourself the goal is to find an ideal solution
F．It can be defined as working together with others to achieve a common goal
G．But if you apply these ideas, you may find the experience productive and positive
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。在日常工作和生活中，与他人协作的情况发生的频率比我们意识到的要高，但成为一个有效的合作者有时可能是一个挑战。文章就如何成为一个有效的合作者提供了切实可行的建议。
1．答案与解析：F　上文谈到协作发生的频率比我们意识到的要高。再结合下文的“in theory”可知，空处应该是在理论上对协作进行解释。故F项“它可以被定义为与他人共同努力来实现共同目标”作为过渡衔接句，符合题意。
2．答案与解析：C　本段建议“倾听”。下文谈到在合作过程中，你很容易完全沉浸于自己的想法中，以至于没有全神贯注地考虑别人的想法。故C项“重要的是不要让你的自负占据上风”符合题意。
3．答案与解析：E　本段建议“给予并接受诚实的反馈意见”。上文谈到当你分享你的意见而其他人不同意时，尽量不要生气。下文谈到了你的想法不一定是正确的，故E项“如果你确实感到生气，提醒自己目标是找到理想的解决方案”承上启下，符合语境。
4．答案与解析：B　本空是标题句。根据其他小标题的句式可知，本空应在A项和B项中选择。根据下文的“这可能是在你的工作中担任不同职位的人，与你背景不同的人，或者是你正在寻找的信息的主题方面的专家”可知，本段应讲述寻找什么样的人来合作。故B项“寻找你所在领域以外的合作者”符合题意。
5．答案与解析：G　根据第一段最后一句以及本文的每个小标题所阐述的内容可知，本文是在建议如何成为一个有效的合作者。空前谈到“协作可能并不总是那么容易”，G项“但是，如果你应用这些建议，你可能会发现这种体验是富有成效并积极的”符合语境。选项中的But表转折，同时these ideas与本文的建议相吻合。

2024·浙江名校联考 记叙文 290词 ★★★★☆
Five years ago, I was a trail ride leader at a holiday farm in Victoria. My favourite horse was a warmblood called Holly, a chestnut mare. Aged seven, she was __1__， sweet natured and well trained; the only __2__ with Holly was her vivid imagination. I was constantly surprised by Holly's ability to be __3__ by rabbits, the wind or even shadows—sometimes her own shadow!
One day, as we headed back from a ride on the beach, Holly and I were __4__ the way over the hilly area. When we got to one particularly long, steep hill, Holly began to twitch (抽动) her ears and step in place. So, when she __5__ to sniff (嗅) and give all the __6__ that she believed the “horse eating monsters” were close, I became a little worried.
At the bottom of the hill as we rounded a corner, Holly __7__ with caution, and so I followed her gaze to the path ahead. There, sunning itself in the middle of the track, was a brown __8__. This time it was my __9__ to get scared; I was on a nervous horse, leading a group of eight inexperienced pre teen riders. Unexpectedly, Holly was firmly __10__ , ears forward. With the snake in her sight, she was no longer worried.
I have heard that horses have a better sense of __11__ than dogs. I hadn't seen it __12__ before that moment. __13__， while we waited in reality for just a second or two—but for what felt like a century—the snake awoke and glided calmly off into the bush.
Holly then __14__， leading the horses with caution and care. She had been alert to danger and had been __15__ for the safety of us all. Following in the footsteps of their lead mare, not one of the other horses showed any fear.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者五年前在农场作越野骑行领队的时候，最喜欢一匹叫Holly的领头马。Holly什么都好，就是容易“疑神疑鬼、草木皆兵”。有一次外出返回的途中，Holly突然警觉了起来，作者随着Holly的目光望去，前面路上有一条蛇。面对危险，Holly临危不乱，待蛇走后，Holly小心警觉地带着一行人和马走了。
1．A.negative B．graceful
C．pitiful D．aggressive
答案与解析：B　空处与空后的“sweet natured and well trained”(性格温顺且训练有素)并列，因此空处也应是一个褒义词，选项中符合的只有B项graceful“优美的，优雅的”。negative“否定的，消极的”；pitiful“可怜的，令人同情的”；aggressive“好斗的，富于攻击性的”。
2．A.solution B．reaction
C．problem D．difficulty
答案与解析：C　分号前后部分都在讲述Holly，分号前讲到了Holly的各种优点，因此空后讲到的“her vivid imagination”便成了她唯一的问题(problem)。且下文中的“be __3__ by rabbits, the wind or even shadows—sometimes her own shadow”正是对该问题的诠释。solution“解决办法，处理手段”；reaction“反应，回应”。
3．A.frightened B．delighted
C．touched D．attracted
答案与解析：A　根据语境和下文内容可知，Holly唯一的问题是想象力太生动了，以至于会被兔子、风或影子等吓到(frightened)。delight“使高兴，使愉快，使快乐”；attract“吸引，使喜爱，引起……的好感(或爱慕)”。
4．A.chasing B．leading
C．following D．pushing
答案与解析：B　根据上文中的“I was a trail ride leader at a holiday farm”可知，作者是一个领队，因此，此处讲作者和Holly在山区带(leading)路。本题也可以利用词汇复现来进行判断，此处呼应下文中的“leading a group of eight inexperienced pre teen riders”。chase“追赶，追逐，努力获得，追求”。
5．A.proceeded B．preferred
C．hesitated D．refused
答案与解析：A　根据上文中的“Holly began to twitch (抽动) her ears and step in place”可知，Holly在抽动耳朵、原地踏步前进到适当位置后，继续(proceeded)闻气味。hesitate“(对某事)犹豫，迟疑不决”。
6．A.evidence B．truth
C．signals D．symbols
答案与解析：C　上文讲到了Holly进行了一系列反常的举动，紧接着，Holly发出了“the ‘horse eating monsters’ were close”的信号(signals)。evidence“根据，证明，证据”；truth“真相，实情，事实”；symbol“象征，符号”。
7．A.sped B．rushed
C．escaped D．slowed
答案与解析：D　上文讲到了Holly发现了危险，结合空后的“with caution”可知，Holly慢下了(slowed)自己的脚步。speed“快速前行”；rush“迅速移动，急促”；escape“逃跑，逃走，逃避”。
8．A.rabbit B．horse
C．monster D．snake
答案与解析：D　此处考查词汇复现。根据下文中的“With the snake in her sight”可知，在道路中间晒太阳的是一条棕色的蛇(snake)。monster“(传说中的)怪物，怪兽”。
9．A.turn B．case
C．chance D．rule
答案与解析：A　根据上文中的“the ‘horse eating monsters’ were close”和“with caution”可知，Holly之前就感到了害怕，因此，此时当作者看到蛇的时候，轮到(turn)作者感觉害怕了。case“具体情况，事例，实例”；rule“规则，规章，条例”。
10．A.sealed B．planted
C．fastened D．frozen
答案与解析：B　“Unexpectedly”表明Holly的实际表现，和空前讲到的可能害怕形成了对比。结合下文中的“she was no longer worried”可知，Holly选择坚定地站在原地。此处plant作动词，意为“立稳，竖立，安放”，属于熟词生义的用法。seal“封上(信封)；密封(容器)”；fasten“(使)关紧，系牢，扣紧”；freeze“结冰，(使)冻住，冰冻”。
11．A.vision B．direction
C．smell D．hearing
答案与解析：C　根据上文中的“when she __5__ to sniff (嗅)”可知，此处拿狗来和Holly进行对比，说明马比狗的嗅觉(smell)还要灵敏。vision“想象，视力”；direction“方向，方位，动向”。
12．A.proved B．denied
C．ignored D．demonstrated
答案与解析：D　上文讲到了Holly通过闻味确定了前方有蛇，向作者展示了(demonstrated)马的嗅觉非常灵敏，这是作者之前没有见过的。deny“否认，拒绝承认，拒绝给予”；ignore“佯装未见，不予理睬，忽视”；demonstrate“证明，证实，示范，演示”。
13．A.Unfortunately B．Undoubtedly
C．Thankfully D．Instantly
答案与解析：C　结合选项可知，空处考查副词修饰整个句子。根据本句中的“the snake awoke and glided calmly off into the bush”可知，危险解除是值得庆幸的事情。undoubtedly“无疑，肯定”；thankfully“(用以表示高兴)幸亏”；instantly“立刻，马上”。
14．A.fell off B．went back
C．came out D．stepped forward
答案与解析：D　上文讲到了Holly站在了原地，结合空后的“leading the horses with caution and care”可知，Holly小心谨慎地带着其他马向前走(stepped forward)。fall off“脱落，降低，减小”；go back“返回”；come out“上市，结果是，出来”。
15．A.responsible B．regretful
C．grateful D．available
答案与解析：A　根据空后的“Following in the... showed any fear”可知，Holly一直负责着(responsible)我们所有人和马的安全。responsible“负责的，负有责任的”；regretful“后悔的，遗憾的”；grateful“表示感谢的，感激的”；available“可获得的，有空的”。

2024·九省联考 说明文 320词 ★★☆☆☆
Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots' behavior in your house more than any other.
Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管)may be the same as a snake in your bird's mind.
As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了鹦鹉作为被捕食动物的行为特性和生存策略。
4．What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild
A．Living in a group.
B．Growing beautiful feathers.
C．Feeding on the ground.
D．Avoiding coming out at night.
答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第二段“Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators.(群体中的成员在确保其安全和提高其从捕食者袭击中幸存下来的机会方面起着重要作用。)”可知，鹦鹉要想更好地在野外躲避攻击，重要的是要进行集体生活，故选A项。
5．What is parrots' first response to an immediate risk
A．To attack back. B．To get away.
C．To protect the young. D．To play dead.
答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段“As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight.(作为猎物，鹦鹉会时刻警惕危险，并本能地对风险做出反应。它们的第一反应是飞走。)”可知，鹦鹉对直接风险的第一反应是逃跑，故选B项。
6．Why would a balloon frighten a parrot
A．It may explode suddenly.
B．It may be in a strange shape.
C．It may have a strong color.
D．It may move around quickly.
答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind.(因为它们最大的敌人是鹰，鹦鹉对来自上方和后方的快速移动特别敏感。)” 和下文“This is a built in reaction not subject to logic or reason.Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird's mind.(这是一种不受逻辑或理性约束的内在反应。简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如，在你的鸟心目中，气球可能代表鹰，或者吸尘器软管可能被视为蛇。)”可知，气球能够吓到鹦鹉是因为气球可能移动速度快，让鹦鹉联想到鹰，故选D项。
7．What is the author's purpose of writing the text
A．To explain wild parrots' behavior.
B．To give advice on raising a parrot.
C．To call for action to protect animals.
D．To introduce a study on bird ecology.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据第一段“Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots' behavior in your house more than any other.(鹦鹉是猎物，这意味着在野外的其他捕食者，如鹰或蛇，正在寻找将它们作为食物。这一个因素比任何其他因素都更能影响鹦鹉在家里的行为。)”、倒数第二段“Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird's mind.(简单且相对无害的家居用品会引起鸟类的极度恐惧反应。例如，在你的鸟心目中，气球可能代表鹰，或者吸尘器软管可能被视为蛇。)”以及最后一段“As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.(作为猎物，鹦鹉经常被新的家庭用品或陌生人吓到。从很小的时候就开始让你的鸟接触安全的体验和变化，以构建灵活应对性并提高它们的适应性，这一点很重要。饮食和玩具的多样性、旅行以及接触新的人和地方都有助于让你的鸟更灵活，更适应变化。)”可知，本文的写作目的是对饲养鹦鹉提建议，故选B项。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了北京这座城市的古老建筑和现代化发展之间的独特结合，同时探讨了城市如何在不断发展的同时保护其丰富的遗产。作者作为一名摄影师，记录了这座城市的变化，并表示将来还会继续拍摄北京的风貌。
1．答案与解析：to　考查介词。句意：从佛教寺庙到博物馆，从狭窄的胡同到皇家宫殿，它拥有3000多年的辉煌历史，甚至从它的布局来看，这座城市一直保持着精心建造的环城道路系统。根据上文的“From Buddhist temples to museums”可知，空处和上文保持一致，表示“从……到……”，用介词to。故填to。
2．答案与解析：built　考查非谓语动词。句意：从佛教寺庙到博物馆，狭窄的胡同和皇家宫殿，它是3000多年辉煌历史的家园，即使是在它的布局上，这座城市也保持着精心建造的环城公路系统。这里为非谓语动词担当定语，表示“精心建造的……”，和被修饰词“system of ring roads”之间为被动关系，用过去分词。故填built。
3．答案与解析：which/that　考查定语从句。句意：但是，除了古建筑，北京也是一个欢迎现代生活快节奏发展的地方，21世纪的建筑奇迹与过去的历史建筑并存。这里为定语从句的关系代词，先行词为“a place”，在定语从句中担当主语，所以用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。
4．答案与解析：wonders　考查名词。句意：但是，除了古建筑，北京也是一个欢迎现代生活快节奏发展的地方，21世纪的建筑奇迹与过去的历史建筑并存。分析句子成分可知，空处为名词形式；根据下文的“historical buildings of the past”可知，空处为名词的复数形式。故填wonders。
5．答案与解析：but　考查连词。句意：但不知何故，这两个截然不同的世界却很好地结合在了一起。空前“It is a distinct visual contrast (反差) that shouldn't work，”和空后“somehow these two very different worlds make a good combination.”之间存在转折关系，用but。故填but。
6．答案与解析：Having visited　考查非谓语动词。句意：在过去的10年里，我多次访问北京，我惊讶于这里的新旧共存，惊讶于一个城市如何在不断发展的同时保持如此丰富的文化遗产。这里为非谓语动词担当状语，和主句主语“I”之间为主动关系；根据时间状语“over the last 10 years”可知，用完成时态，由此推断，空处用现在分词的完成时态。置于句首，首字母大写。故填Having visited。
7．答案与解析：am amazed　考查时态和语态。句意：在过去的10年里，我来过几次，我惊叹于新与旧的共存，以及一个城市如何能够在不断发展的同时保持如此丰富的遗产。此处陈述客观情况，应用一般现在时；I和amaze之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故填am amazed。
8．答案与解析：recording　考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一名摄影师，我花了两年时间记录我发现的一切。spend time (in) doing sth.花费时间做某事。这里为非谓语动词担当宾语，用动名词形式。故填recording。
9．答案与解析：remarkable　考查形容词。句意：这个城市的显著发展，是有意识地在保护过去的同时步入现代世界，这意味着这里总是有新的东西等待被发现，我可以在接下来的50年里一直拍摄北京。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词修饰名词“development of this city”。故填remarkable。
10．答案与解析：means　考查时态。句意：这座城市的显著发展，在有意识地保护过去的同时步入现代世界，意味着这里总是有新的东西等待被发现，我可以在接下来的50年里一直拍摄北京。这里为本句谓语动词，根据上下文可知，本句时态为一般现在时；主语为“development”，单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填means。

2024·昆明市高三质检 记叙文 299词 ★★☆☆☆
A dad says he's built a special bond with his two year old daughter after running a series of long distance races with her strapped (用带子系好) to his back.
Chris Greenbank, 36, a stonemason (石匠) from Stockport, Greater Manchester, even managed to complete a half marathon carrying the youngster in a special hiking carrier.
The single father, who has suffered from anxiety in the past, has been raising money for mental health support group Project 23. The group, which helps people with anxiety and mental health problems, was set up by Chris's friend Mark Sproston.
Chris's latest race, Run North West's festive 10k in Cheshire, was his fourth race and he says, possibly their last, as the kid may be too heavy in spring. Besides, Chris had been a little worried if the weather would be too chilly for his daughter. “No matter how difficult it is, I want to get us both a festive New Year medal before it gets too cold，” He added. “We have four medals now and we have run 51km in total. ”
In October Chris took just under three hours to complete the Manchester Half with his daughter on his back. The dad says his little girl rested her hands on his shoulder and kept them there for the whole duration of the run. He said, “Our bond isn't something you can even put into words. My heart is full.”
Chris, who says exercise is an important part of positive mental health, believes there should be no reason why people can't exercise because they have kids.
The pair also ran the Wilmslow Festive 10k in July this year and Chester Zoo 10k in October. Chris speaks of his daughter, “She loves it, and they are like mini adventures.”
【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了一位曾患有焦虑症的单身父亲Chris背着女儿参加马拉松比赛的故事，他与女儿之间建立起一种特殊的感情纽带。

A．It was founded by Chris Greenbank.

Many Chinese poets of the Tang dynasty have displayed their extraordinary talents and unique intelligence in Tang poetry. Among all these poets, Li Bai has always held a special place in my heart.
As a poet, Li Bai's major contribution lies in the exquisite craftsmanship of his poems, which effortlessly blend vivid landscapes with deep philosophical musings. Besides, his ability to capture the beauty of nature and the human experience resonates deeply with readers worldwide. His timeless verses of profound imagery and emotion have left a long lasting mark on literature.
In essence, Li Bai's poetry serves as a timeless reminder, continuing to inspire generations of readers, including myself. His poems have taught me to appreciate the fleeting moments of beauty, explore my own creativity, and express my feelings through writing.练习39　语法填空＋阅读理解

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。由中国作家海漄创作的《时空画师》获得了雨果奖最佳短中篇小说奖。它的灵感来自中国天才画家王希孟在北宋时期的生活经历。在这个故事中，海漄尽最大努力平衡故事、人物和历史之间的关系，希望能给读者带来一部成熟的作品。
1．答案与解析：held　分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语。hold与空前名词短语“the 81st World Science Fiction Convention”是逻辑上的动宾关系，用过去分词作后置定语。故填held。句意：这部由中国作家海漄创作的《时空画师》，在由中国西南部城市成都举行的第81届世界科幻大会(世界大会)上获得了雨果奖最佳短中篇小说奖。
2．答案与解析：winner　根据空前的“the third Chinese”和语境可知，空处应填名词winner。句意：继科幻作家刘慈欣和郝景芳之后，海漄成为第三位获得雨果奖的中国人。
3．答案与解析：was inspired　分析句子结构可知，空处作谓语。根据前文讲的这本书出版于2022年可知，此处时态用一般过去时。It与inspire之间是被动关系，主语是第三人称单数。故填was inspired。句意：它的灵感来自中国天才画家王希孟在北宋时期(960～1127)的生活经历，他创作了12米长的山水画《千里江山图》。
4．答案与解析：talented　空前是定冠词the，空后核心词是名词，空处应用形容词。故填talented“有天赋的，天才的”。
5．答案与解析：to balance　此处考查固定短语try one's best to do sth.“尽某人最大努力去做某事”。故填to balance。
6．答案与解析：although/though/while　分析句子结构可知，that后是宾语从句。再结合语境“虽然不是一个大的类别，但历史科幻小说一直在那里”可知，前后语义间存在明显的让步关系，故填although/though/while。此处让步状语从句中省略了主语和be动词，补充完整为“although/though/while historical sci fi is not a big category”。
7．答案与解析：a　海漄也是一名金融工作者，他认为自己更是一名科幻爱好者而不是作家。根据句意，此处表示“一名金融工作者”，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词，且financial的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
8．答案与解析：as　参见上题解析。think of oneself as...为固定搭配，表示“认为自己是……”。故填as。
9．答案与解析：annually　分析句子结构可知，空前是动词，应用副词修饰。故填annually。
10．答案与解析：which　分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句中缺主语，先行词是表示物的the World Science Fiction Convention。故填which。

2023·全国乙卷 议论文 325词 ★★★★☆
If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity's later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can't. The clearest example of this between literate and non literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook's voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain's record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non literate societies such as these, all our first hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation,__we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了仅仅依靠书面文本来讲述世界历史的局限性，并强调了将物品纳入历史叙事以更好地理解无文字社会的重要性。
1．What is the first paragraph mainly about
A．How past events should be presented.
B．What humanity is concerned about.
C．Whether facts speak louder than words.
D．Why written language is reliable.
答案与解析：A　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity's later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things. (如果你想讲述整个世界的历史，一段不以人类某一部分为特权的历史，你不能仅仅通过文本来讲述，因为世界上只有一部分人的历史曾经被文学记录过，而世界上大多数人，在大多数时间里，都没有。写作是人类较晚的成就之一，直到最近，甚至许多有文字的社会也不仅用文字，而且用物件来记录他们所关心的事情。)”可推知，第一段主要讲述的是历史应该如何呈现给我们。故选A。
2．What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in Paragraph 2
A．His report was scientific.
B．He represented the local people.
C．He ruled over Botany Bay.
D．His record was one sided.
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据文章第二段首句“Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can't. (理想情况下，历史应该将文本和物品结合在一起，本书的某些章节能够做到这一点，但在许多情况下，我们根本做不到。)”可推断，作者认为历史应该是文本和物品相结合的产物，但是很多情况下，我们做不到。再根据所举例子的下文“From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain's record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. (从英国方面来看，我们有科学报告和船长对那可怕的一天的记录。从澳大利亚方面来看，我们只有一个木制盾牌，这是一名男子在第一次经历枪击后在飞行中扔下的。)”可知，作者举这个例子是为了说明船长的记录是片面的，只从自己的角度描述了问题。故选D。
3．What does the underlined word “conversation” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Problem. B．History.
C．Voice. D．Society.
答案与解析：B　词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non literate societies such as these, all our first hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. (加勒比海的泰诺人、澳大利亚的土著人、贝宁的非洲人以及印加人，所有这些人都出现在这本书中，他们现在都可以通过他们制造的物品向我们讲述他们过去最强大的成就：通过物品讲述的历史给了他们一个话语权。当我们考虑诸如此类的有文化社会和无文化社会之间的接触时，我们所有的第一手资料都必然是扭曲的，只有对话的一半。)”结合画线句“If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects. (如果我们要找到对话的另一半，我们不仅要读文本，还要读物体。)”可知，我们对过去历史的了解，只是书写历史的人所想要让我们了解的历史，如果我们想要了解历史的另一半，我们不仅仅要读文本也要读物品。所以conversation指的是“历史”。故选B。
4．Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from
A．How Maps Tell Stories of the World
B．A Short History of Australia
C．A History of the World in 100 Objects
D．How Art Works Tell Stories
答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not.(如果你想讲述整个世界的历史，一段不以人类某一部分为特权的历史，你不能仅仅通过文本来讲述，因为世界上只有一部分人的历史曾经被文字记录过，而世界上大多数人，在大多数时间里，都没有。)”结合最后一段的“If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects. (如果我们要找到对话的另一半，我们不仅要读文本，还要读物体。)”可知，本文讲述仅仅依靠书面文本来讲述世界历史有局限性，想要更好的了解历史就要将文本和物品结合在一起。从而推断文章最有可能选自《100件物品中的世界史》。故选C。

2024·湖北七校联考 议论文 325词 ★★★☆☆
Standing in my office 25 years ago was an unknown, newly rising astronomer with a half smile on her face. She had come with a demand that my team change our tested software to make one of our most important and in demand scientific instruments do something it had never been designed for, and risk breaking it down. All to carry out an experiment that was basically a waste of time and couldn't be done—to prove that a massive black hole hid at the center of our Milky Way.
My initial “no way” gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but firm determination. It was my first encounter with a force of nature, Andrea Ghez, one of three winners of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2020. That determination and the willingness to take calculated risks has always characterized Andrea. For 25 years she has focused almost only on Sagittarius A—the name of our own local super massive black hole. And Andrea is one of the great pioneers in this search without question.
Andrea did her work at the W．M. Keck Observatory's twin telescopes on Maunakea, Hawaii. She started using the very first instrument licensed on Keck Observatory's Near Infrared Camera (NIRC). NIRC was never designed to do what Andrea needed but she was not to be denied. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time consuming to make sense of the data, but Andrea persisted.
As Andrea would be the very first to acknowledge, this victory represents the combined efforts of so many. But actually one person had the idea for the research. One person had the chutzpah (无所顾忌) to propose it and one person had the determination and focus to make it happen, not discouraged by all who said it was a waste of time. That person is Andrea Ghez, winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize for Physics.
5．What did the author think of Andrea Ghez's request at first
A．It's demanding. B．It's interesting.
C．It's acceptable. D．It's meaningless.
答案与解析：D　根据第一段最后两句可推知，作者一开始认为Andrea Ghez的要求是毫无意义的，是浪费时间的。
6．What do we learn about Andrea Ghez's research from Paragraph 2
A．It takes decades of efforts.
B．It deals with power of nature.
C．It's a purely individual project.
D．It's about measurement of a hole.
答案与解析：A　根据第二段中“For 25 years she has focused almost only on Sagittarius A—the name of our own local super massive black hole.”可知，Andrea Ghez的研究花费了几十年的努力。
7．Which of the following best describes Andrea Ghez's work in Hawaii
A．Dangerous. B．Pleasant.
C．Challenging. D．Fruitless.
答案与解析：C　根据第三段中“It was extremely hard and time consuming to make sense of the data...”可知，Andrea Ghez的研究工作是非常有挑战性的。
8．What do we learn from Andrea Ghez's success
A．It is rewarding to cooperate.
B．The old methods still work today.
C．It pays to put theory into practice.
D．Persistence leads to success.
答案与解析：D　通读全文可知，Andrea的成功在于她的坚持，坚持自己的想法，专注于实现自己的目标，而不受别人看法的影响。

Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely walk through the streets—this is 1.________ many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city.

At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, 10.________ (profession) service to meet ever changing market demands.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。一股“城市漫步”(Citywalk)热潮席卷全国，成为年轻人的旅游新宠。它为城市旅行者提供了一个积极的改变，同时为导游和旅游服务提供商提供了一个机会。
1．答案与解析：what　分析句子结构可知，空处引导表语从句。从句中doing后缺少宾语，且表示事物，故填what。句意：和几个好朋友聚在一起，悠闲地在街上漫步——这是许多中国年轻人在参观新城市时喜欢做的事情。
2．答案与解析：guided　空处作定语修饰空后名词trip，且表“有向导的，有导游的”，故填形容词guided。
3．答案与解析：or　语境：对他们来说，Citywalk意味着在一个城市里漫步。它可以是一小群人的特殊导览之旅，也可以仅仅是一两个人悠闲地散步以探索新的地区。根据语境可知，上下文是选择关系，故用or来连接。
4．答案与解析：a　根据空前为动词和空后为名词短语可知，此处应填冠词，且此处表泛指，故填a。语境：避开著名景点和人群，以获得更具包容性的游览体验。
5．答案与解析：provides　本句用not only...but also...来连接，所连接的部分词性一致，故本空应该与offers的时态一致，用一般现在时；主语与provide为主动关系，且主语为第三人称单数，故填provides。句意：Citywalk不仅为年轻人提供了一种与城市互动的方式，还为他们提供了一个新的社交场景。
6．答案与解析：enthusiast　本句的主语Xiao Yiyi是一个人名，故此处表示她是一个城市漫步的热衷者，故填enthusiast。
7．答案与解析：to sample　句意：城市漫步爱好者肖依依在她的社交媒体账号上推出了她的长沙路线，其中包括更多另类景点，如历史遗迹，甚至还有一个品尝当地美食的站点。本空用不定式结构作目的状语。sample在此作动词，意为“品尝”，属于熟词生义的用法。
8．答案与解析：sharing　分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作非谓语。share与逻辑主语Many tour guides之间是主谓关系，故填sharing。句意：许多导游也尽力在网上扩大影响力，分享他们的经验以吸引潜在客户。
9．答案与解析：better　句意：Citywalk为城市旅行者提供了一个积极的改变，因为他们可以更好地选择符合自己爱好和需求的体验。根据句意可知，本空填well的比较级better“更好地”。
10．答案与解析：professional　空处修饰名词service，应用形容词professional“专业的”。句意：同时，Citywalk为导游和旅游服务提供商提供了一个机会，可以提供更量身订制的专业服务，以满足不断变化的市场需求。

Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In__the__wrong__hands,__such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now—several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.

2024·沈阳高三质检 说明文 328词 ★★★☆☆
In a study in the journal Science, researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois reported that they had developed an effective and inexpensive method for breaking down chemicals called per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) .
PFAS, first created in the 1930s, are chemical compounds (化合物). They are used to make a wide range of everyday products, including nonstick pans, carpeting, electronics, and fast food wrappers. Once the chemicals are in the environment, they are almost impossible to eliminate because they are designed to avoid breaking down. Researchers have linked regular levels of exposure to these chemicals with several health problems, including liver damage, an increased risk of cancer, and reduced immunity.
Scientists had previously figured out how to remove PFAS from polluted water or soil but there was no safe and effective way to destroy them once they were removed. The study reported that when the team boiled PFAS molecules (分子) with two common substances, the PFAS quickly broke down and became harmless.
In 2020, William Dichtel, a chemist and professor at Northwestern, read a study in which chemists at the University of Alberta, in Canada, found an easy way to break down chains of molecules. He asked a graduate student, Brittany Trang, to try the method on PFAS molecules.
Trang had spent months in the lab unsuccessfully attempting to pull apart PFAS, and at first she thought Dichtel's idea was too simple to work. But she tried it, boiling PFAS with a common solvent (溶剂) called dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Trang was shocked when the process destroyed the PFAS. She later mixed DMSO with a chemical called sodium hydroxide and broke down PFAS even more quickly.
The scientists will work on ways to destroy PFAS outside the lab so large amounts of forever chemicals can be broken down at once. “It's a huge challenge, but it's in our grasp，” Dichtel told The New York Times. Scientists are also calling for a decrease in the amount of PFAS being released into the natural world. In June, the US government announced new plans to monitor PFAS, decrease the amount of PFAS released into the environment, and address the effects of PFAS on human health.
【语篇解读】　伊利诺伊州西北大学的研究人员说他们已经开发出一种有效且廉价的方法来分解被称为PFAS的化学物质。本文重点介绍了这种降解方法。
5．What does the underlined word “eliminate” probably mean in Paragraph 2
A．Identify. B．Destroy.
C．Appear. D．Release.
答案与解析：B　理解词汇。根据画线词后的句子“because they are designed to avoid breaking down”可知，这是因为它们的设计是为了避免分解，据此可知，一旦这些化学物质进入环境，它们几乎不可能被消除。所以画线词的意思是“消除”，与destroy意思相近。
6．How did William Dichtel find the way to break down chains of molecules
A．He got information from a study of others.
B．He conducted the experiments on his own.
C．His graduate student, Brittany Trang, told him.
D.Chemists at the University of Alberta told him.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据第四段中的“In 2020...chains of molecules”可知，西北大学的化学家兼教授William Dichtel阅读了一项研究，加拿大一所大学的化学家在该研究中发现了一种分解分子链的简单方法。据此可知，William Dichtel是从别人的研究中得到了信息以此找到分解分子链的方法的。
7．What can we learn about Brittany Trang's experiment
A.She tried the method from Dichtel but didn't succeed at first.
B．She pulled apart PFAS with her own idea at her first attempt.
C．She developed a more effective method to break down PFAS.
D．She thought Dichtel's idea was too simple, so she didn't try it.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第五段中的“But she tried it...even more quickly”可知，她尝试用一种叫DMSO的普通溶剂煮沸PFAS，这种方法可以降解PFAS；此后她将DMSO与一种叫氢氧化钠的化学物质混合，更快地分解PFAS。据此可知，Brittany Trang发现了一种更有效的方法来分解PFAS。
8．What do scientists advocate the public doing
A．Addressing the effects of PFAS on human health and environment.
B．Reducing the amount of PFAS being released into the environment.
C．Finding more effective ways to destroy PFAS in and outside the lab.
D．Stopping the use of PFAS in everyday life to avoid health problems.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据尾段中的“Scientists are also calling...the natural world”可知，科学家倡导公众减少释放到环境中的PFAS的数量。

Xi'an，as the longest running capital in ancient China, has shaped the country's culture and history. With a history of over 3, 000 years, it has given birth to many dynasties. If planning a short tour, be sure to visit the recommended attractions that truly capture the spirit of this ancient city.
The Terracotta Army
The Terracotta Army is a remarkable archaeological find and a popular tourist destination in China. Constructed by Emperor Qin Shihuang in the 3rd century BC, it features life size terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots arranged in battle formation. The museum houses three vaults (墓穴) and an exhibition hall, with Vault One being the largest, displaying over 6，000 figures. These sculptures offer insights of high value into ancient China's history, military, and culture.
Xi'an Ancient City Wall
Xi'an Ancient City Wall was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644) as a military defence system. Now it is one of the oldest and best preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas. When you take a stroll or cycle on the massive wall, you can enjoy a good view of the city, the moat (护城河) and the watchtowers.
Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda in China was built during the Tang Dynasty as a study place for Buddhist texts. It stored sutras(佛经)and sculptures brought from India by Monk Xuan Zang, who translated scriptures here for 19 years. Situated in Da Ci'en Temple, the pagoda's impressive brick structure reflects traditional Chinese architecture, creating a solemn and magnificent atmosphere.
Shaanxi History Museum
The Shaanxi History Museum displays 370，000 relics found in Shaanxi, China, including bronze ware(青铜器), pottery figures，gold and silverware, and Tang Dynasty murals. 18 pieces are national treasures. Xi'an, the former capital, has many historical sites. The museum is divided into three sections, exhibiting artifacts from primitive eras to the late Qing Dynasty.

2024·合肥高三质检 说明文 290词 ★★☆☆☆
Greenland holds enough ice to raise global sea level by 7 meters if it were all to melt (融化). The sheet currently loses around 270 billion tons of ice each year, and contributes to more than 4 millimeters' global sea level rise annually—from 2013 to 2022, the average annual global sea level rise was 4.62 millimeters. However, Greenland's massive ice sheet, which is melting because of climate change, could be saved from complete melting even if global temperatures rocket past key international targets, a study suggests.
Using climate modelling, the research concludes that Greenland's melting will accelerate abruptly if the average global temperature crosses a threshold (阈值) that is no higher than 2.3 ℃ above pre industrial levels—and could be much lower. That threshold might be getting quite close: the average temperature in 2025 is likely to hit 1.5 ℃ above pre industrial levels. But we do not necessarily tip the Greenland ice sheet just because we cross the threshold. Even if temperatures shoot up by 6 ℃ or more above pre industrial levels, humanity will be able to reduce much of that ice loss if warming is limited to 1.5 ℃ within a few centuries, the study shows. It means that the ice sheet can be saved.
But Nils Bochow, a climate scientist at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and lead author of the study, and others are quick to note that taking action against climate change now will be cheaper and easier than trying to control global temperatures later. “It's a worthwhile tool to explore because what we have done so far in terms of policy is not enough to be within the limit，” says Bochow.
The authors examine the effect of average global temperature increases rather than temperature increases in the Arctic, which are happening at least three times faster than those on the rest of the planet. And the study assumes that society will somehow work out a way to cut down greenhouse gas emissions(排放)sharply in the future，perhaps through carbon storage technology. Petrini, the coauthor of the study, says he doesn't want people to think the Greenland ice sheet is going to be fine. “There's a chance to prevent some serious consequences even if there's no political will now，” he says. “But we should do our bit today rather than later.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于格陵兰岛冰原融化速率的最新研究。
4．What do we learn about the Greenland ice sheet
A．It's disappearing at a constant rate.
B．It's lost more than half of its ice.
C．It contributes much to the sea level rise.
D．It has raised global sea level by 7 meters.
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The sheet currently...contributes to more than 4 millimeters' global sea level rise annually—from 2013 to 2022, the average annual global sea level rise was 4.62 millimeters.”可知， 目前，格陵兰岛的冰盖每年损失约2 700亿吨冰，导致全球海平面上升超过4 毫米—从2013年到2022年，平均每年海平面上升4.62毫米。 由此可知，全球海平面上升受格陵兰岛冰盖融化影响很大。故选 C项。
5．What does the underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 mean
　
A．Overturn. B．Discount.
C．Preserve. D．Explore.
答案与解析：A　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Even if temperatures shoot up by 6 ℃ or more above pre industrial levels, humanity will be able to reduce much of that ice loss if warming is limited to 1.5 ℃ within...be saved.”可知，即使温度高于工业化前水平6 ℃或更多，如果升温在几个世纪内限制在1.5 ℃以内，人类将能够减少大部分冰损失。这意味着冰盖可以被拯救。 由此可知，画线词所在句表示超过阈值不一定就会触发格陵兰岛冰盖的垮塌。tip意为“使倾倒，倾覆”，与overturn 意思相近。此处考查tip的熟词生义。故选A项。
6．How does Nils Bochow find present policies on climate change
A．They push the climate to the limit.
B．They have no practical use.
C．They are suitable for climate control.
D．They need further improvement.
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It's a worthwhile tool to explore because what we have done so far in terms of policy is not enough to be within the limit”可知，这是一个值得探索的方法，因为到目前为止，我们在政策方面所做的还不足以把全球气温控制在合理范围内。由此可知，Nils Bochow应是认为现行政策还不够好，仍需要改善。故选D项。
7．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Global Warming: Destroyer of Ice Sheet
B．How to Save Greenland's Massive Ice Sheet
C．Climate Modelling: Helper of Scientists
D．How Greenland's Melting Affects Our Planet
答案与解析：B　主旨大意题。阅读全文可知，本文主要介绍了科学家们发现如果全球平均温度超过阈值，格陵兰岛冰盖的融化会骤然加速，但即便如此，快速行动也可以稳定住它。 B项“如何拯救格陵兰岛的巨大冰盖”点明了主旨，作标题最佳。

[2023·新课标Ⅰ卷]When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you're willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere's horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse's mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else's choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere's horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn't win, I wouldn't care.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。

One possible version：
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you'd win! I am proud of you. You made it！” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It's you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn't have written this article. Again thank you very much！”
I went to my teacher's office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn't like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social studies teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.练习13　阅读理解＋读后续写

2024·浙江1月，D 议论文 310词 ★★★☆☆
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We're not tempted by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets—all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value—a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we've reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn't eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
语篇类型：议论文　主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事——儿童棉花糖实验的启示
【语篇解读】　文章通过20世纪60年代一项针对孩子的棉花糖实验引出作者观点——身处网络时代，我们每天都受到大量信息的诱惑，要学会做有选择的信息消费者。
1．What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel's test
A．Take an examination alone.
B．Show respect for the researchers.
C．Share their treats with others.
D．Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
答案与解析：D　理解具体信息。根据第一段对Mischel的棉花糖实验的介绍中的“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat”可知，孩子们如果等待15分钟再吃糖，就会得到第二份奖励，故选D项。
2．According to Paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ________．
A．the calorie poor world and our good appetites
B．the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C．the rich food supply and our unchanged brains
D．the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据题干中“mismatch”这一关键词将答案定位在第三段的最后一句话“But as we've reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart...we shouldn't eat”。由此句可知，我们获取热量所需付出的成本和努力大大减少，也就是说现在我们能够轻易获取充足的食物了，但是我们的大脑仍然和数千年前一样，因此这两者之间是不匹配的，故选C项。A项“热量匮乏的世界和我们的好胃口”；B项“糖分的缺乏和我们的营养需求”；C项“充足的食物供应和我们一成不变的大脑”；D项“诱人的食物和我们为保持健康所做的努力”。
3．What does the author suggest readers do
A．Be selective information consumers.
B．Absorb new information readily.
C．Use diverse information sources.
D．Protect the information environment.
答案与解析：B　推断。根据最后一段中的“Therefore...we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental ‘junk food’ in order to manage our time most effectively”可知，作者建议我们要谨慎地对待信息消费，抵制那些对我们的精神健康有害的信息诱惑，以达到高效管理时间的目的。因此可推断出，作者建议读者要做有选择的信息消费者，故选B项。A项“欣然接受新信息”；C项“使用多样化的信息源”；D项“保护信息环境”。
4．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Eat Less, Read More
B．The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C．The Later, the Better
D．The Marshmallow Test for Grownups
答案与解析：D　理解文章主旨要义。本文围绕棉花糖实验展开，从最初针对幼儿园孩子的测试引入，说明棉花糖对孩子的影响，再类比到成人身上，阐述了在充斥着各类信息的信息大环境下，我们成年人也应该要学会抵制不良信息带来的诱惑，做一个有选择的信息消费者，因此文章重点介绍了成人面临的“棉花糖实验”，故选D项。

2024·浙江1月，B 记叙文 329词 ★★★☆☆
When was the last time you used a telephone box I mean to make an actual phone call—not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was...2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it__seem a bit more “young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady's managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turned into a “mini community library”： any passer by can “borrow” a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn't bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable pricepoint encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I've discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly, no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
语篇类型：记叙文　主题语境：人与社会——社会进步——电话亭的变迁
【语篇解读】　作者回忆了自己最后一次使用电话亭的经历，并发现家附近最后一个电话亭被改造成了“迷你社区图书馆”，这为社区提供了新的价值。
5．What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to
A．The play. B．The shared house.
C．The sofa. D．The telephone box.
答案与解析：B　理解词汇。根据第一段中的“I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London”和“I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ‘young professional’”可推断出，作者是在合租房里安排试演，为了给一些有天赋的演员留下深刻印象而将合租房布置了一番，故选B项。
6．Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006
A.To place an urgent call.
B．To put up a notice.
C．To shelter from the rain.
D．To hold an audition.
答案与解析：A　推断。根据题干信息将答案定位在第一、二段。第二段提到作者被锁在了门外，但是幸运的是“there was a telephone box across the street”，因此作者打电话拿到了备用钥匙，才得以及时赶回家。由此可推断出，在2006年作者使用电话亭是为了拨打紧急电话，故选A项。
7．What do we know about the “mini community library”？
A.It provides phone service for free.
B．Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C．It is popular among young readers.
D．Books must be returned within a month.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据题干中的“mini community library”将答案锁定在第三段。由该段中的“a ‘mini community library’： any passer by can...or replace it with another title from their own collection”可知，任何路过的人都能用自己的另一本藏书来替换其中的一本书，也就是说任何人都可以为这个图书馆的藏书做出贡献，故选B项。A项“它提供免费电话服务”；C项“它在年轻读者中受欢迎”；D项“一个月之内必须归还图书”。
8．Why did the author start to use the “library”？
A．He wanted to borrow some love stories.
B．He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C．He found there were excellent free books.
D．He thought it was an ideal place for reading.

[2024·九省联考]Last summer, Hilda worked as a volunteer with dolphin trainers at a sea life park. Her job was to make sure the tanks were free of any items so that the trainers could train the dolphins to fetch specific items. However, one day after cleaning, one of the dolphins, Maya, presented Hilda with a candy wrapper from the tank. When Katherine, the trainer, saw this, she blamed Hilda for her carelessness. Upset but not discouraged by this event, Hilda decided to do some spying on Maya.
The next morning, Hilda arrived at the park early. She put on her scuba gear (水下呼吸器) and jumped into the tank for her usual, underwater sweep. Finding nothing in the tank, she climbed out of the water just in time to see Katherine jumping in on the other side. After what happened yesterday, Hilda knew what she was doing. She watched as Katherine performed her underwater search, but Hilda wasn't surprised when she surfaced empty handed.
During the tank sweeps, Maya had been swimming playfully, but now the dolphin stopped suddenly and swam to the back part of the tank where the filter (过滤) box was located. She stuck her nose down behind the box and then swam away. What was Maya doing back there Hilda wondered. She jumped back into the water and swam over to take a look behind the box, and her question was answered. Hilda then swam across the tank following Maya's path and emerged from the water to find Katherine removing her scuba gear. As Katherine turned around, her mouth dropped open. There was Maya at the edge of the tank with a comb (梳子) in her mouth waiting for her treat.
“Maya! Where did you get that？” demanded Katherine, taking the comb and throwing her a fish. “I know where she got it，” declared Hilda climbing out of the tank with a handful of items still wet from their watery, resting place. “What's all this？” Katherine asked, obviously confused.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“This is Maya's secret，” Hilda said with a big smile.

One possible version：
“This is Maya's secret，” Hilda said with a big smile. “The truth of the matter，” Hilda continued, “is that Maya has been secretly collecting items from the tank, hiding them near the filter in the back of the tank. When you train her, she will give you some items so that she can get treats from you.” “Really How do you know that？” Katherine asked in surprise. Hilda laughed and replied, “It took me a long time to discover this secret, too. It's not easy to follow Maya.”
Now Katherine realized what had been going on. Katherine thought to herself, this is really a clever dolphin. And she said to Hilda, “Well, Maya loves treats, so we'll work together, and you'll secretly help her collect a few things and put them in the filter at the back of the tank. I'll give her treats, the number of which I can increase.” Hilda replied, “Good idea, let's do it.” From then on, the Sea Life Park is full of warmth and harmony. Maya's performance in front of the audience is getting better and better.练习46　语法填空＋阅读理解

2024·石家庄质检 说明文 349词 ★★★☆☆
A new study suggests classic paintings by well known artists Joseph Mallord William Turner and Claude Monet may have been influenced by air pollution during the Industrial Revolution.
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by authors from Harvard University and Sorbonne University, analyzed 60 oil paintings by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet from 1864 to 1901.
Scientists don't know exactly how polluted the cities were during that time for lack of data. However, researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of long term environmental change with the air pollution.
In particular，researchers say changes in local sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫) emissions from burning coal may explain changes in the colour contrast and intensity of Turner's, Monet's, and others' works, even after taking the artistic trends and subject matter of the time into account.
Scientists successfully measured painters' representation of nature, focusing on differences in local weather patterns which influenced colour in works painted in different parts of Europe. Paintings done in Britain generally feature a paler blue sky than other works in other parts of the continent. Generally, artists can historically accurately represent their environment, so Turner and Monet were chosen because they are famous for their landscape and cityscape paintings and also because they were active during the Industrial Revolution, when air pollution grew at a rate never seen before.
Additionally, researchers say that as the air in London and Paris became more polluted, the cities would appear hazier to the eyes as well as in photographs. By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet to pictures from the era, they were able to determine the artists were at least partly influenced by the change in emissions.
【语篇解读】　研究人员表示，通过研究特纳和莫奈的作品可以了解空气污染带来的长期环境变化。
4．How did the researchers conduct the study
A．By referring to relevant historical records.
B．By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet.
C．By relating the paintings to the air conditions then.
D．By analyzing the data during the Industrial Revolution.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第三段中的“However，researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of long term environmental change with the air pollution”可知，研究人员表示，通过研究特纳和莫奈的作品，可以了解空气污染带来的长期环境变化。由此可知，研究者是通过将绘画与当时的空气条件联系起来做这个研究的。故选C项。
5．What did the researchers find in the works of Turner and Monet
A．Air pollution at that time.
B．Change in subject matter.
C．Social trends of the period.
D．Development of photography.
答案与解析：A　推断。根据第五段中的“Generally，artists can...so Turner and Monet were...never seen before”可知，艺术家可以准确地描绘他们所处的环境，所以特纳和莫奈被选中，因为他们以乡村风景画和城市风光画而闻名，他们活跃在工业革命时期，而当时空气污染以前所未有的速度加剧。由此再结合第一段内容可推知，研究人员在特纳和莫奈的作品中发现了当时的空气污染状况。故选A项。
6．What can we learn from paragraph 5
A.European artists preferred landscape paintings.
B．Scientists focused on studying weather patterns.
C．Turner and Monet intended to present pollution.
D．Britain suffered from air pollution most in Europe.
答案与解析：D　推断。根据第五段前两句的内容可知，科学家们已经成功测量了画家对自然的描绘，重点关注了影响欧洲不同地区的画作中的色彩的当地天气模式的差异。在英国创作的画作中，天空的蓝色通常比欧洲其他地区的画作要淡一些。由此可推知，英国在欧洲遭受空气污染最严重。故选D项。
7．What is the purpose of the text
A．To inform people of a new discovery.
B．To instruct people to appreciate paintings.
C．To introduce the Industrial Revolution.
D．To call on people to protect the environment.
答案与解析：A　理解目的。浏览全文可知，本文主要讲述了研究人员表示，通过研究特纳和莫奈的作品可以了解空气污染带来的长期环境变化。故作者写作本文旨在告诉我们一个研究的新发现。故选A项。练习42　语法填空＋阅读理解＋应用文写作

2023·新课标Ⅰ卷 说明文 320词 ★★☆☆☆
On March 7，1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds This happened some of the time, but it wasn't the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together.” Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error.
Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision making are enormous.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。没有人是一座孤岛，文章陈述了“群体智慧”效应。实验表明，在某些情况下大量独立评估的平均值可能是相当准确的。
4．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A．The methods of estimation.
B．The underlying logic of the effect.
C．The causes of people's errors.
D．The design of Galton's experiment.
答案与解析：B　主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down. (这种效应利用了这样一个事实，即当人们犯错误时，这些错误并不总是相同的。有些人常常会高估，有些会低估。当这些误差中有足够多的误差被平均在一起时，它们会相互抵消，从而产生一个更准确的评估。如果相似的人倾向于犯同样的错误，那么他们的错误不会相互抵消。用更专业的术语来说，群体智慧要求人们的评估是独立的。如果由于任何原因，人们的错误变得相关或依赖，评估的准确性就会下降)”可知，本段阐述了人们所犯的错误不总是相同的，各不相同的误差平均在一起，相互抵消就会产生更准确的评估，讨论了独立评估的平均如何由于误差的消除而产生更准确的预测。因此本段主要解释了“群体智慧”效应这一现象的基本逻辑。故选B。
5．Navajas' study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________．
A．the crowds were relatively small
B．there were occasional underestimates
C．individuals did not communicate
D．estimates were not fully independent
答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第二段的“In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent. (用更专业的术语来说，群体智慧要求人们的评估是独立的)”和第三段的“The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals. (这项研究的关键发现是，当人群被进一步划分为允许进行讨论的小组时，这些小组的平均值比同等数量的独立个体的平均值更准确。例如，从四个五人讨论组的评估中获得的平均值明显比从20个独立个体获得的平均值更准确)”可知，人们在没有独立的情况下，分成更小群体，平均值是更准确的，说明即使在评估数字并非完全独立的情况下，准确率提高也是可以做到的。故选D。
6．What did the follow up study focus on
A．The size of the groups.
B．The dominant members.
C．The discussion process.
D．The individual estimates.
答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据第四段的“In a follow up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds (在一项针对100名大学生的后续研究中，研究人员试图更好地了解小组成员在讨论中的实际行为。他们是否倾向于选择那些对自己的评估最有信心的人？他们是否追随那些最不愿意改变主意的人呢)”可知，在后续研究中，研究人员试图更好地了解小组成员在讨论中实际做了什么。结合两个问题，因此可知后续研究的重点是小组内的讨论过程。故选C。
7．What is the author's attitude toward Navajas' studies
A.Unclear. B．Dismissive.
C．Doubtful. D．Approving.
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision making are enormous. (尽管Navajas领导的研究有局限性，仍存在许多问题，但对小组讨论和决策性的潜在影响是巨大的)”可知，作者认为虽然Navajas领导的研究有局限性也存在许多问题，但对小组讨论和决策性的潜在影响巨大。因此推断作者对于Navajas的研究表示一定的赞许和支持。故选D。

2024·深圳市高三调研 应用文 285词 ★★☆☆☆
“You're so smart！” This encouraging response to children's math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children's performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what's referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children's actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children's math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children's strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can't be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics—in particular, related to failure—are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.
【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了一项新的研究发现，用孩子们的个人特征或天生能力鼓励他们，可能会随着时间的推移削弱他们的数学动机和成就。
1．Which of the following is an example of process responses
A．You are a lucky dog.
B．Running is in your blood.
C．What works well for your study
D．Why are you such a math genius
答案与解析：C　推断。明题意：本题问“以下哪一项是过程性反馈的例子？”→寻线索：根据第二段中的“parents who link their children's actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses”可知，过程性反馈与孩子的策略应用或努力等行为相关→定答案：C项“什么对你的学习很有用呢”是对策略方面的反馈，故C项正确。
2．What can be inferred from the study results
A．Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B.Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C．Process responses help with children's math achievement.
D．Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
答案与解析：D　推断。根据第四段中的“children who receive more responses...exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests”可知，接受更多个人特征相关的反馈的孩子更可能避开更难的数学题，展现出更高水平的数学焦虑，且在数学测试中得分更低。据此可以推断，个人特征相关的反馈可能会打击孩子学习数学的信心，故D项正确。
3．What do researchers advise parents to do
A．Restrict person responses.
B．Defend their own beliefs.
C．Stress children's performance.
D．Ignore children's math problems.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据最后一段中的“Because person responses predict...parents limit this type of responses at home”可知，研究人员建议家长在家里限制(减少)使用个人反馈，故A项正确。
4．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B．The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
C.Responses to Enhance Children's Math Performance
D.Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math
答案与解析：B　理解文章主旨要义。根据第一段中的“encouraging children with responses related to..motivation and achievement over time”可知，用孩子们的个人特征或天生能力相关的反馈鼓励他们，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成就；第二段介绍了家长的两种反馈模式；第三、四段讲述了相关研究；最后一段提出了一些建议，充分说明了使用正确反馈方式的重要性，故B项“父母和孩子们谈论数学的方式很重要”适合作本文的标题。

2024·四省高考测试 记叙文 314词 ★★★☆☆
As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.”A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts (干旱) have led to an estimated 75 per cent of Tunisia's agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilisers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130，000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia's farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
【语篇解读】　文章讲述的是小时候Sarah Toumi和父亲去突尼斯度假，发现当地农田荒漠化很严重，后来她成立Acacias for All，想通过种植金合欢树来保护突尼斯的农田，并且初见成效。
5．How did Toumi's holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A．They made her decide to leave the country.
B．They helped her better understand her father.
C.They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
D.They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“Toumi去突尼斯的度假如何影响了她？”→寻线索：根据第一段中“Her passion to help others...in the east of the country during holidays”可知，当她陪着她的父亲在假期去他在该国东部的出生地时，她帮助他人的热情被唤醒了→定答案：故C项“他们激起了她帮助他人的热情”正确。
6．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia's farmland
A．Low rainfall. B．Soil pollution.
C．Cold weather. D．Forest damage.
答案与解析：A　理解具体信息。根据第二段中“A decrease in average rainfall...75 per cent of Tunisia's agricultural lands being threatened by desertification”可知，平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业用地受到荒漠化的威胁。故A项正确。
7．Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A.To create job opportunities for young people.
B．To help the children obtain a basic education.
C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D.To facilitate the protection of their farmland.
答案与解析：D　理解具体信息。根据第四段中“In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream...put her sustainable farming philosophy into action”可知，2012年，Toumi巩固了她对抗沙漠的梦想，她搬到突尼斯，创立Acacias for All是为了将自己的可持续农业理念付诸行动，目的是促进农田保护。故D项正确。
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Saving Water in Tunisia
B．Planting Trees of Native Species
C．Holding back the Sahara
D．Fighting Poverty in North Africa
答案与解析：C　理解文章主旨要义。首段介绍Toumi陪同父亲到了突尼斯，帮助他人的热情被唤醒了。根据第二段中“I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks”可知，Toumi想试图阻止撒哈拉沙漠的继续恶化，接下来就开始介绍Toumi搬到突尼斯，并创立Acacias for All，想通过种植植物来保护当地农田，并且取得初步成效。故C选项“Holding back the Sahara”最适合作本文标题。

2024·九省联考 说明文 320词 ★★★☆☆
For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler's way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend's behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That's why it's so important to take an active role in your toddler's social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What's making him so sad？”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel. It's also important to be mindful of how your child's personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they're sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they're refreshed.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幼儿时期友谊对儿童社交能力发展的重要性，并探讨了幼儿表达友谊的方式和可能出现的问题。同时，文章还提供了一些建议和方法，帮助家长在幼儿社交互动中发挥积极作用，培养他们的同情心和表达能力，学会发展友谊。
4．What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates' behavior
A．They are interested in acting.
B．They are shy with the strangers.
C．They are fond of their playmates.
D．They are tired of playing games.
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段“In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler's way of saying ‘I like you’ during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend's behavior.(此外，蹒跚学步的孩子表现出他们喜欢其他孩子的方式与成年人认为的友谊表达方式明显不同。哥伦布市的俄亥俄州立大学的研究发现，一个蹒跚学步的孩子在玩耍时说‘我喜欢你’的方式很可能是模仿朋友的行为。)”可知，蹒跚学步的孩子模仿朋友的行为说明他们喜欢玩伴，故选C项。
5．What does the author suggest parents do for their kids
A．Design games for them.
B．Find them suitable playmates.
C．Play together with them.
D．Help them understand social rules.
答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第三段“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That's why it's so important to take an active role in your toddler's social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. (通过游戏体验，幼儿学习社交规则。这就是在你蹒跚学步的孩子的社交活动中，通过设定限制和经常提醒它们是什么，来发挥积极作用是如此重要的原因，当您制定这些指导方针时，请解释其背后的原因。)”可知，作者建议家长在孩子的社交生活中设定限制，并且经常提醒孩子们这些限制，也就是社交规则，帮助孩子理解社交规则，故选D项。
6．What is the function of the quoted statements in Paragraph 4
A．Giving examples. B．Explaining concepts.
C．Providing evidence. D．Making comparisons.
答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据第四段“Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (‘Ben is crying. What's making him so sad？’)首先帮助孩子学会同情(‘本在哭。是什么让他这么伤心？’)”以及“then suggest how he could resolve the problem (‘Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.’)然后建议他如何解决这个问题(‘如果你让他玩球，也许他会感觉好些。’)”可知，这些引用是通过举例说明这两个建议：帮助孩子学会同情并解决问题，故选A项。
7．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．How Children Adapt to Changes
B．How to Be a Role Model for Children
C．How Your Baby Learns to Love
D．How to Communicate with Your Kid
答案与解析：C　主旨大意题。根据第一段“For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. (对很多孩子来说，蹒跚学步是建立友谊的重要时刻。研究表明，孩子们越早学会建立积极的关系，他们在青少年和成年人时期就越善于与他人建立联系。一起玩耍也有助于这些孩子练习社交行为，如友善、分享和合作。)”、第三段“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That's why it's so important to take an active role in your toddler's social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. (通过游戏体验，幼儿学习社会规则。这就是在你蹒跚学步的孩子的社交活动中，通过设定限制和经常提醒它们是什么，来发挥积极作用是如此重要的原因。)”以及最后一段“Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel. (另一种鼓励健康社交的方法是鼓励孩子用语言而不是拳头来表达他们的感受。)”可知，本文主要讲的是家长如何帮助孩子学会爱，学会发展友谊，故选C项。

2024·福建省高三质检 说明文 340词 ★★★☆☆
Science fiction television has done a lot to shape how we view the meals of the future, from an evening dinner in pill form to machines giving us any meal we desire, on demand. __1__ However, while these ideas for food creation are more than fifty years old, the way we produce and consume food has not changed very much. Even though there is enough food available today to feed the world, more than 870 million people do not have enough to eat. __2__
With the global population expected to grow to more than nine billion by 2050, demand for food will only increase. No pills or machines have solved our food problems yet.
However, agricultural science has been responsible for saving huge numbers of lives. Science and technology helped us out of starvation during the 1960s and 1970s when the world's population exploded. __3__ The result of this panic was the “green revolution”， which saw the introduction to farming of high production grains, improved irrigation systems and hybrid seeds, saving over one billion people from starvation.
__4__ Having enough food is only the first step. There are complications with natural disasters, conflict, poverty and environmental problems. All these can mean that the food supply is put at risk. __5__ Many people are concerned about “playing around with nature”， adjusting how food looks and tastes and smells, and other human interference (干预), all of which are widespread.
Anyhow, the world has not been completely saved from starvation, but we are on the way to getting there.
A．Agricultural science was quite a success.
B．There are many complexities when dealing with food.
C.Modern science and technology of food contributes a lot.
D.Nobody would ever starve if food were this easy to obtain.
E．And it is unbelievable that hunger kills more people than disease does.
F．Then there are the issues we face when it comes to food experimentation.
G．At that time scientists were genuinely worried that we would run out of food.
【语篇解读】　科幻影片中虚构的药丸形式的晚餐和按需为我们提供膳食的机器，只能是幻想。面对粮食危机，科学家们努力研究新技术提高粮食产量，改进灌溉系统。但是，自然灾害、冲突、贫穷和环境问题都将使粮食供应处于危险之中。
1．答案与解析：D　根据第一段第一句可知，科幻影片在很大程度上塑造了我们对未来饮食的看法，从药丸形式的晚餐，到按需为我们提供任何食物的机器。结合下文提及的世界上还有很多人挨饿的事实可知，空处承上启下，说明如果食物容易获得，则没有人会挨饿。故D项正确。
2．答案与解析：E　空前讲到尽管今天有足够的食物来养活全世界，但仍有超过8.7亿人没有足够的食物。据此可推知，全世界还有很多人在挨饿，空处承接上文，E项“而且难以置信的是因饥饿造成的死亡人数比疾病造成的还多”进一步说明粮食危机的严重性，故E项正确。
3．答案与解析：G　根据空前的“starvation during the 1960s and 1970s when the world's population exploded”和空后的“panic”可知，在20世纪60年代和70年代，世界人口猛增引起了科学家们对粮食问题的担忧；据此可推知，空处与此对应，说明科学家们十分担心人们会吃完现有的粮食，故G项正确。
4．答案与解析：B　空处位于该段段首，为该段主题句。根据空后的“Having enough food...environmental problems”可知，有足够的食物只是第一步。自然灾害、冲突、贫穷和环境问题是复杂的，常导致粮食危机。据此可知，该段主要陈述处理粮食危机时，有很多错综复杂的事情，故B项正确。
5．答案与解析：F　分析语境寻线索：根据下文的“Many people are concerned...which are widespread”可知，许多人担心“玩弄自然”，包括调整食物的外观、味道和气味，以及其他的人为干预等。对比选项定答案：结合常识可以推知，下文所说的是当涉及食物实验时所面临的问题，故F项“当涉及食物实验时，我们还面临着一些问题”符合语境。

9．答案与解析：to be made　分析句子结构可知，此处考查require sb./sth. to do sth.结构，make与adjustment之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此，空处应用不定式的被动形式，故填to be made。
10．答案与解析：goes　从家庭用品到装饰背景，竹子的用途多得超出你的预料。分析句子结构可知，句子的主语是the quantity of uses，强调的是quantity“数量”，谓语动词应用第三人称单数；此处陈述客观情况，应用一般现在时。故填goes。beyond your wildest dreams“超乎想象的，出乎意料的”。

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. __1__ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they're special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it's easy to feel like you're missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. __2__
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it's actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less visited options to choose from. __3__ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser known sights
●__4__ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You'll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. __5__ You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there.
A．Visit during off peak times.
B．So, should we stop traveling
C．Travel for you and no one else.
D．Can overtourism be avoided then
E．You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F．You'll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G.Consider giving back to the communities you're visiting.
语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与社会——旅游——如何缓解过度旅游
【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了缓解过度旅游的一些具体的方法：谨慎选择、有创造性、避开高峰期等。
1．答案与解析：B　根据空前的“but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations”可知，旅游快速增长导致某些地区和目的地的过度旅游。再根据空后的“Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world”可知，在当今世界，失去旅行提供的东西是无法接受的。由此可推断，空处应该讨论是否停止旅游这项服务。故选B项。
2．答案与解析：C　本段小标题是“谨慎选择”，再根据空前的“With so many online posts...deeply draws you”可推知，很多人盲目跟风选择旅游地，只有当目的地的景色、文化或食物真正吸引你时才去。空处在结尾处，应该紧扣本段标题和空前内容，点出选择旅行应是为自己而不是为别人。故选C项。
3．答案与解析：E　根据空前的“Though overtourism is described as a problem...That means you have tons of less visited options to choose from”可知，过度旅游只集中在少数非常受欢迎的地方，游客其实还有更多选择的空间。空后的“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser known sights？”鼓励游客去尝试一些地区性或知名度相对较低的景点旅游，以此缓解过度旅游压力。空处应承上启下，涉及游客能选择的其他地方，E项中的“undiscovered places”符合题意。
4．答案与解析：A　本文是总( Para.1)—分(Para.2至Para.4)—总(Para.5)结构，分析第二至四段的段落结构和特点(祈使句主旨句＋内容)可知，本空(位于第四段段首)应是本段主旨句。根据本段中的“skipping major holidays or rush hour”“boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower”可知，本段建议跳过重大假期或高峰时间旅行。A项“非高峰时间去旅游”精准概括段落大意。
5．答案与解析：G　根据空前的“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place”可知，尽自己所能去保护旅游地，再根据空后的“You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there”可推断空处应提到如何Do your part，G项“考虑为游览的社区做一些贡献”既解释了上文，又是下文的原因。

2024·南京市模拟 记叙文 298词 ★★★☆☆
Does your life ever feel as if you're pushing a heavy car—one on which you've spent much money and that has now broken down You've done everything right: you haven't invested heavily in a new business or quit your job to pursue your childhood dream of becoming a professional athlete. You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life. So why does it feel like such hard work
This has been me for the past few months. Earlier this year, I took a long hard look at my sources of income and decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money. I'm lucky enough to have had a good financial year. But despite doing the right thing, it has used up my energy and I've worked out why.
Years ago, I realized that I disliked hard work. Don't get me wrong. I don't mind working hard, but hard work isn't for me. What's the difference For a start, hard work feels as if it never really gets going. You can push hard work and it might move a little but there's no celebratory moment when it gets done. Most importantly, hard work lacks joy. Working hard on a project you feel excited and moved by can be tiring and difficult, but it's ultimately joyful and that is what I've been missing.
So I asked myself what would feel scary but joyful and this is the answer. I'm going to write a romance. Of course, being a middle aged journalist who suddenly decides to write a book is nothing novel. However, for me, it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile.
As with all good middle aged changes, this one hasn't really been thought through. I know little about writing fiction and even less about what makes a good book. I have the thinnest ideas for a plot but, for the first time in a while, I'm excited, I will be another Jane Austen with my fantasies which give me life. So now, I have to go and sharpen my pencil.
【语篇解读】　作者发现在一个让自己感到兴奋和感动的项目上努力工作可能会很累、很困难，但最终是快乐的，这是作者一直错过的工作和生活，后来，作者决定尝试写一本书，虽然这不是什么新鲜事，却让作者第一次感受到了兴奋。
1．What can best describe the author's current feeling about life
A．A new business makes her feel fresh.
B．She has got everything under her control.
C．She is conflicted about living a sensible life.
D．A childhood dream inspires her to make more efforts.
答案与解析：C　推断。根据第一段的“You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life. So why does it feel like such hard work？”可知，作者对理智的生活感到矛盾，故C项正确。
2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Living a rather sensible life.
B．Identifying income sources.
C．Discovering new life goals.
D．Sorting out the author's jobs.
答案与解析：A　理解词汇。根据第一段的“You have been a sensible adult...such hard work？”以及第二段的“This has been me...decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money...despite doing the right thing”可知，第二段画线词it指的是过着理智的生活，故A项正确。
3．What's the author's understanding of hard work and working hard
A．Journalism is a career worth working hard.
B．Hard work is something either sweet or tiring.
C.Writing a romance is difficult but rewarding.
D．Working hard rarely brings about satisfaction.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据倒数第二段的“However, for me, it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile”可知，作者认为写浪漫小说很难，但是非常值得，故C项正确。
4．What is probably the best title for the text
A．Dare to attempt
B．Middle aged job crisis
C．The celebratory moment
D．A future Jane Austen
答案与解析：A　理解文章主旨要义。作者感到生活不如意，在勇敢尝试写小说后，找到了人生的乐趣，与A项“Dare to attempt”意义一致，故A项正确。

2024·沈阳市质检 说明文 304词 ★★★☆☆
A few days before New Year 1944, Patricia Krueger received a telegram from the U．S. Army. She hoped it would contain a belated birthday greeting from her husband, an army flight engineer, Charles Krueger, whom she had not heard from for 2 weeks. Instead, the message said he wasn't coming home: His B 29 had been lost and he was later declared MIA (missing in action). Their son, John Krueger from Middleton, Wisconsin, is still in tears when he recounts this story.
Decades later, the military continues to work to bring back the remains of soldiers like Charles Krueger. The job of finding them falls to DPAA (Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency), created in 2015 after critics charged that the previous MIA search process was slow, and behind on innovations in science and technology. Between 1973 and 2014, the remains of only 1，849 missing service members were returned to their families; in 2021, the agency accounted for the remains of 141 MIAs, according to DPAA figures.
To accelerate the work, Congress gave DPAA the authority to develop public private partnerships with scientists and groups outside the government. “Teaming up with academic scientists introduces new ways of thinking，” says military historian Michael Dolski. “Working with partners allows us to tap into their technologies and capabilities in ways that we just can't maintain.”
For scientists, the work is more than technically satisfying. “It's the most rewarding aspect of my career，” says Mires, a scientist working with the agency. “In other archaeology sites I've worked on, the history is remote，” he says. “Here, you're doing something not for a thing, but for a person, and all the people they touched.”
【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了人们利用新技术寻找战斗中失踪人员的情况。
5．What was the telegram about in Paragraph 1
A．A New Year dinner.
B．Charles Krueger's disappearance.
C．A birthday greeting.
D．John Krueger's memory.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“Instead, the message...MIA (missing in action)”可知，这条消息说他不会回家了：他的B 29失踪了，后来他被宣布为战时失踪人员；据此可知，第一段的电报是关于Charles Krueger失踪的事。
6．Why did people criticize the previous MIA search process
A．Because DPAA wants to continue the search.
B．Because it took long and lacked creativeness.
C．Because the work was stopped by the military.
D.Because 141 MIAs' remains were found in 2021.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第二段中的“The job of...science and technology”可知，寻找战时失踪人员的工作落在了DPAA身上，该机构成立于2015年，此前批评人士指责之前的失踪人员搜寻过程缓慢，缺乏科学技术创新。据此可知，人们批评之前的失踪人员搜寻过程是因为其需要的时间长，而且缺乏创造性。
7．What is Michael Dolski's attitude to the cooperation with scientists and groups
A．Patient. B．Critical.
C．Doubtful. D．Approving.
答案与解析：D　理解观点、态度。根据第三段中的“Teaming up with...of thinking”“Working with...we just can't maintain”可知，Michael Dolski认为，与学术科学家合作引入了新的思维方式；与合作伙伴一起工作使我们能够利用他们的技术和能力。据此可以推知，Michael Dolski对与科学家和团体的合作持支持态度。故选D项。
8．What is a suitable title for the text
A．A long search for MIAs
B．Achievements of DPAA
C．Assistance from science
D．Consequences of wars
答案与解析：A　理解文章主旨要义。根据第二段中的“Decades later, the military...in science and technology”可知，几十年后，军方仍在努力找回像Charles Krueger这样的士兵的遗骸，批评人士指责之前的失踪人员搜寻过程缓慢，缺乏科学技术创新。根据第三段中“To accelerate the...groups outside the government”可知，为了加速这项工作，国会授权DPAA与政府以外的科学家和团体建立公私合作伙伴关系。据此可知，文章主要介绍了搜寻战斗中失踪人员的情况及为此所做的努力。故本文的最佳标题为A项“对战斗中失踪人员的长期搜寻”。
Ⅱ.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。
[2024·安徽六校入学测试]At the table sat my four year old son Matthew, legs swinging in the air and chin in hand. I stared aimlessly out of the window, trying to ignore the ache in my belly. “Mama, can you play with me？”“Not today, honey，” I shook my head. Still recovering from an operation, I could barely get out of bed these days. I hoped for strength and happiness. But the future seemed so hopeless.
All of a sudden, Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird！” he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove seated in a rubber tree. It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I'd never seen one in our neighborhood before.
When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back, this time with a mate carrying twigs. “Look, Matthew，” I said, pointing to the tree. “They're going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree.
Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he'd run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. His enthusiasm was influential. As much as I was grieving, I couldn't help but look forward to the doves' visits as well.
Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a spot safe enough for a nest, but the rubber tree's broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves' nest to the ground. I heard the twigs break apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn't blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from scratch. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they renewed their efforts, as if nothing had happened.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

I knew I had to do something.

One possible version：
I knew I had to do something.The white dove and its mate had given me something to look forward to, even in my darkest days. Now it was time that I came to their assistance in return. I woke up the following morning with a plan. There was only an hour before the doves usually made their visits. I hammered a shelf into the wall next to the rubber tree and covered it with leaves to make it look like a tree. Then Matthew and I stood by the sliding glass door, waiting and hoping.
“It works! The birds are back！” Matthew announced. There they were sitting on the top of the shelf, adding some twigs to the new nest despite damage from the strong wind. Three weeks later, we watched three chicks break free from their shells. “Chirp, chirp！” Matthew sang. I held him close and kissed him, feeling more positive and hopeful than I had been in months.It was then that I realized all around me, life went on. And it was filled with wonders and surprises that I couldn't even imagine.

【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了大熊猫被公认为中国和自然保护的象征的由来。
1．答案与解析：to protect　非谓语动词。分析句子结构并结合语境可知，此处是非谓语动词短语作目的状语，故填动词不定式形式。句意：人们付出了巨大的努力来保护它们，而且幸运的是，他们的努力在一些地区得到了回报。

3．答案与解析：took　动词的时态。短语take off作谓语，根据时间状语“in the 20th century”可知，应用一般过去时。
4．答案与解析：a　冠词。空处修饰单数名词giant panda，表泛指，应用不定冠词，giant的发音以辅音音素开头。

7．答案与解析：based　非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语。be based on “基于”，故用过去分词短语作状语，故填based。
8．答案与解析：attractive　形容词。空处修饰名词作定语，应用形容词。
9．答案与解析：it　固定搭配。make it “获得成功”，是固定短语。

Review Our Worries
We spend a lot of our lives worrying, but there's one basic thing we almost never remember to do: __1__ For example, one week, we might be worried about running out of money, the next about having offended a friend, and the third about being brought down by a rumour on social media. The worries go on and on, shifting unstoppably from one target to another. __2__
What we seldom spend time doing is pausing to compare the scale of the worry with what actually happened in the end. We are too taken up with the next worry to return for a composed review.
However, if we force ourselves to perform one, a strange discovery is likely to dawn on us. __3__ We almost lost our minds to worry, but we didn't run out of money in the end, our friend wasn't offended, and so on. __4__ A famous writer's saying comes to mind：“I have known many troubles, most of which never happened.”
__5__ If we got it so wrong in the past, we're highly likely to get it wrong now too. Of course, we're convinced that this is really and truly the end, and such a certainty was with us in many other situations which we appear to have sailed through well enough.
Perhaps the world is not quite as awful as we assume. Perhaps most of the drama is ultimately unfolding in a place we need to explore and heal as fast as we can: our own minds.
A．Our worries are nearly always out of line with reality.
B．They ruin our precious time on Earth in the process.
C.Ignore our worries and focus on more productive things.
D．Go back and check how our worries matched up to reality.
E．We might say that only 1% of our worries truly become awful.
F．Our worries are caused by external factors beyond our control.
G．We should use the data about the unreliability of our fears as a guide to the future.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。人们在很多时候都处在焦虑中，但焦虑的事情可能从不会发生，因此解放思想、释放焦虑是正道。
1．答案与解析：D　空前讲人们虽然花了很多时间担心，但有一件基本的事情我们几乎从来没有记得去做，故空处应说没做的事情；空后指的是无端的担心总也不断。结合所给选项可知，D项符合语境，指的是人们从来不回头看看自己的担忧与现实是否相符。
2．答案与解析：B　该空前句话指的是“担忧持续不断，不可阻挡地从一个目标转移到另一个目标”，选项B“在这个过程中，他们毁掉了我们生命中的宝贵时间”说明了这样会造成的后果，符合语境。B项中的They指代的是空前的The worries，故选B。
3．答案与解析：A　该空后面的内容指的是“我们担心得都快发疯了，但是我们最后并没有花光钱，我们的朋友也没有被冒犯等等”，由此可知，该空应表示我们担心的事情几乎总是与现实脱节，故选A。
4．答案与解析：E　该空后面引用了名人名言，意为“我知道很多麻烦，其中大部分不会发生”，此句话是对该空的进一步说明。由此可知，选项E符合语境，指的是只有1%的忧虑真正变得可怕，即很少焦虑会成为现实，故选E。
5．答案与解析：G　该空后面说的是“如果我们过去犯了严重的错误，我们现在很可能也会犯同样的错误。当然我们应确信这是真正的结束”。由此可知，选项G“我们应该用这些关于我们恐惧的不可靠性的数据来作为对未来的指引”符合语境，故选G。

Yellowstone Poster Exhibition to Be
on View at UW's Coe Library
A first of its kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming's Coe Library beginning Tuesday, February 1.
“Wonderland Illustrated” will present posters and poster style illustrations of the park spanning from the 1870s through 2022. The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.
The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year's 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.
“We're thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davís, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone's 150th anniversary，” says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries' Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. “This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections.”
One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge's “Yellowstone National Park” from 1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries' Emmett D．Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird's eye view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.

2024·盐城市模拟 说明文 318词 ★★★☆☆
This year saw the publication, in stages, of the sixth report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—a report which was depressing reading for many climate scientists, and in some ways offered a ray of hope.
Why is it depressing Because the report confirmed what scientists have been saying for years: that human activity, particularly in the form of emissions (排放) of greenhouse gases, is responsible for the warming in the past few centuries, and that unless such emissions are greatly reduced, we will in the future bring about our entire ecosystem's destruction.
The report concluded that 1.5℃ of global warming over the next couple of hundred years is already “baked__in”. This makes the goals outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement—that nations agreed to keep warming below 2℃， and hopefully below 1.5℃—much harder to meet. Worse still, the IPCC report was followed later in the year by the COP27, described by Prof Dann Mitchell, as “a complete failure, other than some commitment to loss and damage”．
And the ray of hope The IPCC's sixth report was broader in the approach than previous studies—taking an in depth look for the first time at the role played in warming by short term greenhouse gases such as methane (甲烷), for instance.
“Reducing carbon emissions is always the best approach: stop the problem at its source，” said Mitchell.“But we also need other approaches to help with this. Methane is important, but it's so short lived—that's why we haven't been so bothered when compared with CO2.”
The IPCC working groups showed potential adaptation paths, and they are the other things we can do in terms of fighting climate change and relieving its worst effects, rather than simply reducing carbon emissions. This would include taking measures such as switching to a more plant based diet (to reduce methane emissions), controlling population growth, reducing financial inequality and developing means by which we might remove CO2 that's already in our atmosphere, rather than simply preventing it being released.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)发布的第六份气候变化报告，首次研究分析短期温室气体在变暖中的作用，呼吁找到减缓气候变暖的科学方法。
4．Which of the following can best describe the sixth report by the IPCC
A．Seemingly contradictory.
B．Wholly promising.
C．Particularly hopeless.
D．Exceptionally new.
答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据第一段“This year saw the publication, in stages...in some ways offered a ray of hope.”可知，这份报告既让人沮丧，又给人一线希望，由此可以推断，该报告似乎有些矛盾。故A项正确。
5．What does the underlined phrase “baked in” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Out of date. B．To the full.
C．Under discussion. D．In progress.
答案与解析：D　理解词汇题。根据第三段中的“This makes the goals outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement...below 1.5 ℃—much harder to meet.”可知，此处是描述短语所在的句子中的内容产生的结果：使得2015年《巴黎协定》中概述的目标更难实现了。这说明短语所在的句子陈述的内容已经存在，间接造成《巴黎协定》的目标更难实现，所以该短语的意思是“在进展中，在进行中”。故D项正确。
6．According to the passage, what can we learn about methane
A．It has been long regarded as a major source of global warming.
B．Its role in global warming had been overlooked before the report.
C．Its boost to global warming is as much as other greenhouse gases.
D．It is considered as a new approach to reducing global warming.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The IPCC's sixth report...played in warming by short term greenhouse gases such as methane (甲烷), for instance.”可知，在IPCC的第六份报告中第一次深入研究了甲烷在气候变暖中的作用，由此可以推断，之前报告从未提到过甲烷给气候变暖带来的影响。故B项正确。
7．How many aspects do the adaptation paths involve in the last paragraph
A．2. B．3.
C．4. D．5.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息题。根据最后一段中的“This would include taking measures...rather than simply preventing it being released.”可知，提到的适应性路径有转向更多的植物性饮食、控制人口增长、减少财政不平等以及想方法消除已经存在于大气中的二氧化碳。故C项正确。

Tricks To Becoming A More Patient Person
Here's a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common There's one answer：__1__.
In the Digital Age, we're used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we'd be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
·Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.__2__. “Showing thankfulness can foster self control，” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
·Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice.__3__. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You'll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
·__4__.
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “__5__.” You'll then gradually become more patient.
A．Find your causes
B．Start with small tasks
C．Accept the uncomfortable
D．All this adds up to a state of hurry
E．It can also help us practice more patience
F．This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G．They're all situations where we could use a little extra patience

2．答案与解析：E　根据上文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.(感恩有很多好处：研究表明，感恩让我们更快乐，压力更小，甚至更乐观)”以及后文“‘Showing thankfulness can foster self control，’ said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. (加州大学的研究员叶丽说：‘表达感激可以培养自我控制能力。’)”可知，上文提到了感恩的诸多好处，可知本句继续说明感恩的好处：它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心。E选项中It指代上文Thankfulness。故E选项“它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心”符合语境，故选E。
3．答案与解析：B　根据上文“And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. (我们养成等待习惯的唯一方法就是练习)”以及后文“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. (把你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末再看，或者多等10分钟再去吃蛋糕)”可知，后文列举的事情都是日常的小事，说明要从小事开始练习等待，故B选项“从小任务开始”符合语境，故选B。
4．答案与解析：C　根据本段内容“So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. (我们中的许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时，我们会对环境失去耐心)”可知，本段提到了舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态，结合前文的小标题都是祈使句可知，本段的主旨与接受不舒适相关，C选项中uncomfortable对应后文comfortable。故C选项“接受不舒服”符合语境，故选C。
5．答案与解析：F　根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说……)”以及后文“You'll then gradually become more patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”结合本段主要说明的是不舒服的状态，可知，本句为对自己所说的话与接受不舒服相关，故F选项“这仅仅是不舒服，而不是无法忍受”符合语境，故选F。

语法填空——名词性从句
名词性从句的解题步骤
例题 People were unfamiliar with his product at the beginning; and made many guesses at ________ it was produced.
步骤
① 分析句子结构判断从句类型：分析可知，在句中作介词at的宾语，为宾语从句
② 分析所填词在从句中的句子成分：从句it was produced为主系表结构，缺少状语，从连接副词when/whenever, where/wherever, how/however, why, because 中选择
③ 结合句意确定连词：人们一开始对他的产品不熟悉，并对它是如何生产出来的做了许多猜测。表示“如何”，应用连词how
答案,how　介词at后边是一个宾语从句，从句中缺少方式状语，结合句意应用how引导。练习17　七选五＋完形填空＋应用文写作

2024·浙江1月 说明文 270词 ★★★☆☆
In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. __1__ But are all online courses created equal How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you __2__ We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses.
The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. __3__ “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule，” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you're a self motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going.
The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in－person courses. __4__ He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards.
__5__ A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in person meetings with your professor to discuss course concepts.
A．But that doesn't mean there aren't deadlines.
B．Your motivation should be your main concern.
C．Do you know that online courses are also part of your education
D.Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online.
E.The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction.
F．If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade
G．A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses.
语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习——在线学习的利弊
【语篇解读】　文章讲的是在线学习成了大学生活的一部分，及一些人对在线学习的建议。
1．答案与解析：G　空前句子表示“在过去的几年中，在线学习已经成为大学经历中的一个重要部分”，而空后一句用了“But”进行话题的转折，这说明该空是对前一句信息的补充。G项“一项调查发现有29%的大学生注册了在线课程”，能进一步说明在线学习的地位，故选G项。
2．答案与解析：F　空前是两句问句，表示“但是所有的在线课程都一样吗？你如何确定数字化学习适合你？”，空后又提到通过采访的形式来获取对在线课程的建议。由此可判断出，该空应该承接前面的两个问句，并且句意上应该是递进的。选项中有两个问句，C项“你知道在线课程也是你教育的一部分吗？”，F项“如果你参加在线课程，你能做些什么来确保获得最好的成绩？”，其中F项是对前面两个问句的进一步补充，符合语境，故选F项。
3．答案与解析：A　空前句“在线学习最明显的好处是你可以随时随地学习”强调了在线学习的自由灵活度，空后句引用一名大学毕业生的话“我认为很多人忽视的一个点是容易落后于计划”说明在线学习会容易错过截止日期，因此A项承上启下，符合语境。
4．答案与解析：D　空前的段首句提到“将在线课程纳入你的每周计划中，就像你在线下课程中所做的一样”，将在线课程和线下课程进行了比较，而空后句是由“He”开头的一句话，由此可推断出，这里的代词“He”必定指代该空所提到的某一个具体人物。D项不仅提到了具体的人物，呼应下文，而且也提到了在线课程和线下课程。D项承接上文。
5．答案与解析：E　段落主旨句。根据下文可知，该段是在探讨在线学习存在的一个问题，并且也提到了一名本科生给出相关建议来缓解这一问题，即可以和朋友一起上在线课程。因此，E项“对在线课程的主要抱怨是它们缺乏人际互动”可以概括本段，并且其中的“human interaction”呼应本段第二句中的“social connection”，“complaint”则呼应本段第三句中的“problem”。故选E项。

2024·新课标Ⅱ卷 记叙文 229词 ★★☆☆☆
When I decided to buy a house in Europe ten years ago, I didn't think too long. I liked traveling in France, but when it came to picking my favorite spot to __1__， Italy was the clear winner.

5．A.course B．barrier
C．area D．test
答案与解析：B　根据上文中的“I '2' to ask for directions or order in a restaurant...I tried to '3' a sentence of Italian together”可知，作者在语言方面有障碍，而当地人的鼓励则帮助作者克服了这一语言障碍。course“课程，过程，一道菜”；barrier“障碍，阻力，障碍物”。
6．A.open minded B．strong willed
C．warm hearted D．well informed
答案与解析：C　根据下文中的“Neighbors will bring me freshly made cheese and will come to my door to '7' me to close the window in my car when rain is coming”可知，邻居们非常热心肠。open minded“思想开明的”；strong willed“意志坚定的，坚持己见的”；warm hearted“热心肠的，友好的，富有同情心的”；well informed“见多识广的，知识渊博的”。

答案与解析：C　此处是对上文中的“bring me freshly made cheese and will come to my door to '7' me to close the window in my car”的总结。结合常识可知，这些都是善意的举动。trick“花招，窍门，戏法，把戏”；promise“承诺，许诺”；act“行为，行动，法案”；duty“责任，义务”。
9．A.ambition B．success
C．appetite D．growth
答案与解析：C　根据空前的“As a foodie, the way to my heart is through my stomach”可知，作者喜欢意大利的另一个原因是作者是一个美食爱好者，而意大利的美食能够满足作者的胃口。且下文中的“every family keeps a recipe...big meals”也可以印证这一点。ambition“追求的目标，抱负，雄心，野心”；success“成功”；appetite“食欲，胃口”；growth“成长”。
10．A.costume B．dish

答案与解析：B　根据上文中的“These meals are always '13' by laughter and joy”可知，没有什么烦恼是吃一顿饭解决不了的，也就是说，人们一旦坐下和家人朋友享用美食，所有烦恼或问题都能被遗忘。create“创造”；forget“忘记”；understand“理解”；identify“认出，识别，查明，确认，发现”。

2023·新课标Ⅰ卷 说明文 350词 ★★★☆☆
　　The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it's right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people's digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I'll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I'll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1，600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You'll hear these participants' stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字极简主义生活方式的优点，倡导简单的数字生活方式。
4．What is the book aimed at
A．Teaching critical thinking skills.
B．Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C．Solving philosophical problems.
D．Promoting the use of a digital device.
答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it's right for you. (这本书的目标是解释数字极简主义，包括详细探索它的要求和为什么有效，然后如果你认为它适合你，教你如何采用这种生活态度)”可知，这本书的目的是倡导简单的数字生活方式。故选B。
5．What does the underlined word “declutter” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Clear up. B．Add on.
C．Check in. D．Take over.
答案与解析：A　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value. (这个过程要求你在30天内远离可选的在线活动。在30天结束的时候，你再加上一些你认为会给你所看重的东西带来巨大好处的精心挑选的在线活动)”可推知，画线词“declutter”的意思是“清理”，对在线活动进行清理和挑选。故选A。
6．What is presented in the final chapter of part one
A.Theoretical models. B．Statistical methods.
C．Practical examples. D．Historical analyses.
答案与解析：C　推理判断题。通过文章第四段“In the final chapter of part one, I'll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I'll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1，600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. (在第一部分的最后一章中，我将指导您进行自己的数字清理。在这样做的过程中，我将借鉴我在2018年进行的一项实验，在该实验中，1 600多人同意进行数字清理)”可推知，第一部分的最后一章介绍了实验与数字清理的实际例子。故选C。
7．What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two
A．Use them as needed.
B．Recommend them to friends.
C．Evaluate their effects.
D．Identify the ideas behind them.
答案与解析：A　推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances. (你可以将这些做法看作是一个工具箱，旨在帮助你建立一种适合自己特定情况的极简主义生活方式)”可推知，作者建议读者根据需要与实际情况使用第二部分中提及的实践。故选A。
Ⅱ.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。
Ariana tried to hold her breath. She moved away slightly, but Ashley only moved closer and continued talking.
Ariana thought to herself, “Why does she always have to sit next to me？” Ashley didn't seem to notice that Ariana was trying to move away, and she leaned in closer. Ariana wanted badly to tell Ashley that she didn't smell very good, but how could she do that without hurting her feelings
When Ariana got home from school, she complained to her mother. “There's a girl named Ashley who likes to sit next to me in school, but she smells bad. Nobody else likes to sit next to her, either.”
“Well, try to be nice to her，” said her mother. “Maybe she's having a hard time at home. You never knew what a person's home life is like.”
For the rest of the week, Ariana tried to be a good friend to Ashley. There were times when they had fun talking and playing together, especially on the days when Ashley bathed. But on the days when she smelled bad, Ariana still found it very hard to be her friend.
One morning, while getting her hair combed for school, Ariana brought the subject up again with her mother.
“I don't want to be friends with Ashley anymore，” she told her.
Her mother's hands froze in midair. Ariana turned to see what the matter was. Her mother looked upset. Ariana wondered what she had said to make her mother react this way.
“I don't think you understand Ashley's situation, so let me ask you this...” Her mother's tone was serious. “Who makes sure that your hair is combed every morning so you'll look nice when you go to school Who makes sure you're bathed and cleaned every day And who makes sure your clothes are washed and neatly ironed？”
“You and Daddy，” answered Ariana.
“Do you live in a happy family Do you have a good dad and mom？”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Ariana nodded, beginning to feel guilty.

One possible version：
Ariana nodded, beginning to feel guilty. She was starting to think, “What is Ashley's family like Why don't her parents take better care of her It's unfair for Ashley to be treated like this.” Ariana's mother seemed to understand what she was thinking. “Not all children live in a happy family，” her mother said in a gentle voice. “The best thing you can do for Ashley is to treat her with kindness.”
Sadness for Ashley filled her heart and Ariana decided to make friends with Ashley. At school, Ariana let Ashley sit next to her and helped her with her schoolwork. Whatever she did, she was always careful not to hurt Ashley's feelings. As the months passed, Ariana discovered that she enjoyed talking and hanging out with Ashley. She no longer saw her as the girl who smelled bad, but as a friend with a kind and warm heart. Not only did they establish deep and lasting friendship, but they also made great progress in their studies.

例题 So it was a great honour to be invited backstage at the not for profit Panda Base, where ticket money helps pay for research, I ________ (allow)to get up close to these cute animals at the 600 acre centre.
步骤
① 通过上下文时态、时间状语、各种从句判定时态，叙述过去的事用一般过去式，叙述客观事实用一般现在时；(多考查一般过去时)
② 结合句意，根据主语与谓语动词之间的主动、被动关系判定语态
③ 确定助动词be或have的单复数形式
答案,was allowed　上下文叙述的是过去的事情，使用的是一般过去时，如was(where定语从句中叙述的是一般事实，故用的是一般现在时，应该排除干扰。)，所填词也应用一般过去时。又因为主语I与谓语动词allow之间是被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态。主语是I，be动词用was练习60　阅读理解＋读后续写

2023·新课标Ⅱ卷 说明文 286词 ★★★★☆
As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant's experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it，” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。城市化让人们越来越难以接触到自然，但一项新研究发现城市中的野生自然对人类健康和幸福感具有重要影响。研究团队对一座大型城市公园的游客进行调查，发现与野生自然的互动可以创造出一种可用的语言，帮助人们认识和参与最令人满意和有意义的活动。该研究呼吁保护城市中的野生自然。
1．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A．Pocket parks are now popular.
B．Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C．Many cities are overpopulated.
D．People enjoy living close to nature.
答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第一段内容“As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.(随着城市的飞速发展，生活在城市地区的人们越来越难以接近大自然。如果你幸运的话，你住的地方附近可能会有一个袖珍公园，但在城市里找到相对天然的地方是罕见的)”可知，文章开头作者讲述了一种现象，在城市里，人们很难找到野生的自然。故选B。
2．Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories
A．To compare different types of park goers.
B．To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C．To analyze the main features of the park.
D．To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。题干问的是研究人员将参与者提交的文件分类的原因。根据第四段第一句话“Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories... began to emerge”(在320份提交的材料中，一种被研究人员称为“自然语言”的类别模式开始出现)可知，研究人员这样做是为了从访客的总结材料中找出类别规律。故选D。
3．What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 5
A．Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C.The same nature experience takes different forms.
D.The nature language enhances work performance.
答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break. (命名每一种自然体验创造了一种可用的语言，这有助于人们认识并参与到对他们来说最满意和最有意义的活动中。例如，沿着水边散步的经历可能会让一个年轻的专业人士在周末去公园徒步旅行时感到满意。在工作日回到市中心，他们可以在午休时沿着喷泉散步，享受一种更居家的互动方式)”可知，本段讲述了自然体验创造一种可用的语言，有助于人们识别并参与对自己来说最满意最有意义的活动，接下来以一个年轻的专业人士参与自然的方式举例说明，去公园时沿着水边散步让他感到满意，回到市中心工作时他可以通过沿着喷泉散步获得满足。因此推知，从第五段的例子中我们可以知道一样的自然体验可以呈现不同的形式。故选C。
4．What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn
A．Language study.
B．Environmental conservation.
C．Public education.
D．Intercultural communication.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it，’ said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study. (‘我们正试图创造一种语言，帮助将人类与自然的互动带回我们的日常生活中。要做到这一点，我们还需要保护自然，这样我们才能与它互动，’该研究的资深作者彼得·卡恩说。)”可推断，彼得·卡恩认为在我们与大自然互动之前我们应该先要保护自然。故选B。

What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain has a reputation for less than impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat and two veg and ready made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，介绍英国人在英国烹饪节目的影响下改变对烹饪的看法，并尝试新的烹饪习惯。
5．What do people usually think of British food
A．It is simple and plain.
B．It is rich in nutrition.
C．It lacks authentic tastes.
D．It deserves a high reputation.
答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第一段的“What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting？”(当你想到英国食物时，你会想到什么？你可能想到的是炸鱼薯条，或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是，英国食物真的如此无趣吗？)可知，提及英国食物，大家往往只是想到炸鱼薯条和周日烤肉，所以人们通常会觉得英国食物平平无奇。故选A项。
6．Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV
A．Authoritative. B．Creative.
C．Profitable. D．Influential.
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第二段的“It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat and two veg and ready made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.”(正是由于电视上的这些大厨，而不是凭借广告宣传活动，英国人正在远离“一肉两菜”和速食餐，而变得更加愿意探索新的烹饪习惯。)和“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”(似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。)可知，英国的烹饪节目能够改变英国人对烹饪的看法，尝试从传统的英式饮食走出来，尝试新的烹饪习惯，由此推知英国的烹饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选D项。
7．Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now
A．20%. B．24%.
C．25%. D．33%.
答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第三段的“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.”(几乎三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的配料比以前更多，将近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。)可知，三分之一左右的人，也就是33%左右的人，使用的配料比以前更多。故选D项。
8．What might the author continue talking about
A．The art of cooking in other countries.
B．Male chefs on TV programmes.
C．Table manners in the UK.
D．Studies of big eaters.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer ‘uncool’ for boys to like cooking.”(随着电视上出现越来越多男性厨师，男孩子喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事了。)可知，接下来，文章应该具体介绍电视上的男性厨师，从而与上文形成语义连贯。故选B项。

[2024·广东省模拟Ⅰ]Hector stood in the front of his fifth grade classroom as one of the last two competitors in the Room Five Geography Bee. His opponent having missed the last question, it was Hector's turn. If he answered his question correctly, he would be the Room Five champion.
“Where did I put that second sheet of questions？” Mr. Adler whispered while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a reputation for being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. “Oh well, I apologize for the delay，” said Mr. Adler after what seemed like a long time. “Hector, please tell us the capital city of Brazil.” Hearing the question, Hector smiled. Then, there was the answer.
Later that day in the courtyard, many classmates congratulated Hector. Wearing a proud smile, he greeted and thanked them all. Oh, the sweet taste of victory.
As it was getting late, the courtyard became deserted. But Hector still didn't want to leave. Then he saw Mr. Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a half open bag full of papers. As he hurried past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware, turned a corner and disappeared out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers”. Hector stared wide eyed at the envelope. Before he even had time to reflect on the consequences, he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as Hector had done it, he knew it was the wrong choice. He'd cheated and whatever he did now, he couldn't change the fact. “What if Mr. Adler thought I stole this morning's questions too？” Hector thought. “He'd take away my Room Five victory for sure.” Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his conscience, Hector was totally at a loss what to do.

One possible version：
Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler's room. “Hector! Come and help me look for...” “This？” Hector stopped Mr. Adler mid sentence, holding out the open envelope (现在分词短语作伴随状语). Mr. Adler's brows were smoothed but then knitted again. Before he formed questions, Hector started unbosoming his regrets. If he had waited another moment, they would have torn him into pieces (虚拟语气). “Can I still be in the Bee？” asked Hector timidly. “Absolutely, my honest boy，” Mr. Adler patted his shoulder. “I don't believe in punishing people for making the right decisions and correcting their mistakes.” Immense relief washed over Hector.
The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. Having been up late studying (现在分词短语作原因状语), Hector looked exhausted but extremely excited. So did all the other competitors (倒装句). All the eyes fixed on the stage, Hector felt blood rushing onto his cheeks and his heart beating fast. Unfortunately, the questions Mr. Adler rewrote were so tough that he was knocked out in round three. But Hector realized in surprise that he didn't feel bad about losing at all. Whether others knew he was smart (主语从句) was of no significance. He'd set out to learn everything about the world and ended up learning more about himself.练习35　七选五＋完形填空＋读后续写

2024·吉林长春监测 说明文 285词 ★★★★☆
Reversal—change your perspective and solve your problem
It's often your definition of a problem that limits you in finding a suitable solution. Creative solutions require a change of perspective. __1__
The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based on the thought that to change your perspective, you sometimes need to change the order of the words in your problem definition.
How you change the order of the words doesn't matter much, as long as the key words are reversed.__2__ Your challenge is “How do we make sure that fewer people take cars to their work？”. Swapping (掉换) the key words, you could rephrase this challenge as “How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work？”．
Not every problem statement is suitable for a reversal. Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether. __3__ For instance, the question “How might we sell more washing machines？” is not easily reversed—there is no key word to swap with “washing machines”. Yet, when you rephrase the question to “How might we sell more washing machines to young parents？”， you can easily change it to “How might we sell more young parents washing machines？”. __4__ You could interpret this last sentence as “the washing machine pays the young parents to try it out”. Then, you could start communicating to potential buyers how much they will save each year when they choose your energy efficient washing machines.
As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking. __5__ However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it will “cost” you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and, potentially, lots to gain.
A．The problem statement is much more logical.
B．Often it helps to add one or more key words to the sentence.
C．Rephrasing your challenge is to change the problem statement.
D．A great way to do this is by “reversing” your problem statement.
E．For instance, imagine you are responsible for limiting the traffic jam in your area.
F．Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thought.
G．Not everyone will be able to move from an unreasonable statement to a useful solution.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过事例向读者介绍了一种创造性思维技巧——逆向技巧。
1．答案与解析：D　根据上文的“Creative solutions require a change of perspective”(创造性的解决方案需要改变观点)以及下文的“The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique”(逆向技巧是一种创造性思维技巧)可知，空处应填创造性的解决方案是逆向技巧。D项“做到这一点的一个很好的方法是‘颠倒’你的问题陈述”符合题意。
2．答案与解析：E　根据上文的“How you change the order of the words doesn't matter much，as long as the key words are reversed”(你如何改变单词的顺序并不重要，只要关键字是颠倒的)以及下文的“Your challenge is...‘How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work？’”(你面临的挑战是“我们如何确保开车上班的人更少？”。掉换关键词，你可以把这个挑战重新表述为“我们如何确保更少的车载着人们去上班？”)可知，本段是在列举关键字颠倒过来的例子，并且有关道路交通。E项“例如，设想你要负责限制你所在地区的交通阻塞”符合题意。
3．答案与解析：B　根据上文的“Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether”(有时使用这个技巧需要你首先重新表述问题)以及下文的“For instance, the question... ‘washing machines’”(例如，“我们如何才能卖出更多的洗衣机？”这一问题是不容易颠倒的，没有一个关键词可以和“洗衣机”掉换)可知，重新表述问题与关键词有关。B项“通常，在句子中加一个或多个关键词是有帮助的”符合题意。
4．答案与解析：F　根据上文的“Yet, when you rephrase the question...‘How might we sell more young parents washing machines？’”(然而，当你把这个问题重新表述为“我们如何才能向年轻的父母出售更多洗衣机？”时，你可以容易地把它改成“我们如何才能把洗衣机卖给更多的年轻父母？”)可知，这种办法可以激发创造性思维。F项“诚然，这是一个非常不寻常的挑战，但它可能会激发创造性思维”符合题意。
5．答案与解析：G　根据上文的“As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking”(正如这个例子所示，一些颠倒将需要非常灵活的思维方式)以及下文的“However, thinking about... potentially, lots to gain”(然而，考虑到你尝试颠倒所“花费”的时间很短，你不会损失什么，但潜在地，你会得到很多)可猜测，做出这些颠倒很困难，需要耗费脑力。G项“不是每个人都能把一个不合理的陈述变成一个有用的解决方案”符合题意。

[2024·合肥市质检]Sam, Wayne and Tim were three men in their 60s, jamming in the same dusty old garage where they used to play music when they were in high school. They chatted about old days, remembering the school days when they would take the stage and play together as a band.
Wayne looked around, wide eyed. “It's been more than 40 years since we practised here.”
“Yes! And remember how we promised to keep in touch and play together once a week？” Tim laughed.“Sam, remember our brilliant plans？”
“Ah yes! We thought we were inseparable! Now, look at us! Old and wrinkled, joints hurting, meeting at each other's grandkids' weddings... we're terrible at keeping in touch, except Will, of course. He was always calling and messaging. Where is Will He's the guy who planned this，” Sam smiled.
Just then，the three men's phones buzzed (嗡嗡地响), and the message they received made their hearts sink. It was a message from Jenny, Will's wife. Wayne rushed to his car, and the others followed. A short drive later, the three men knocked on the door of Will's house and tried to wait patiently.
Jenny looked almost unrecognizably pale and told them that Will was taking a nap. The medicines made him all weak. It moved the three men to tears to see their fourth band member in such poor health.
And that day, they found out the whole story of Will's illness. Will's heart condition was serious, and it had been worsening over the past few months. The doctor said only an operation could help. But it was going to cost at least $15，000. And after all the previous treatments, Will and Jenny didn't have that kind of money anymore. Jenny said the doctors had given Will 6 months, bursting into helpless tears. The three men comforted her and wiped their own tears. “Money isn't an issue，” Sam said as an idea came to him.

They set up the sound, and there was a stand with the band name “Playing for Will” and a big stack of flyers to hand out. The men stood there for hours, playing song after song from the golden era of music. They were still perfect together, except for Will's soulful voice that was missing. Although they were very busy, they were very happy to collect money for Will.
Will was finally admitted to hospital three months later. With enough money, they paid for Will's life saving surgery. The doctors were highly qualified and the surgery was very successful. Will soon recovered smoothly. Will and Jenny were very grateful to their three friends. After that, there was another jam session at the same dusty old garage. Only this time, there weren't just three happy old men recalling the old days; there were four. It seemed like yesterday once more.

4．答案与解析：a　冠词。此处表示上海是世界著名的经济金融中心，表示泛指意义，又因word的发音以辅音因素开头，故填不定冠词a。
5．答案与解析：Supported　非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语。support与主语these science knowledge competitions之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故应填过去分词Supported。句意：在当地博物馆和自然科学组织的支持下，这些科学知识竞赛已经连续举办了12年，吸引了6万个团队，数百万学生和教师参与。
6．答案与解析：continuously　副词。修饰动词held，应用副词，故填continuously。
7．答案与解析：and　连词。分析句子结构可知，“attracting 60，000 teams 7.________ involving millions of students and teachers”在句中作状语，且空格前后内容之间为并列关系，故填并列连词and。
8．答案与解析：what　宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处缺少宾语从句的引导词。从句中的like为介词，介词后应接宾语，且此处有“什么”的含义，故填what。句意：在这个课程中，学生们培养解决问题的能力，加深跨文化理解，并探索自然世界的未来状态将是什么样子。
9．答案与解析：has added　动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语In the past decade可知，此处应用现在完成时，又因GNHD与add是主动关系，故填has added。句意：在过去的十年中，GNHD已经增加了受欢迎的科普绘画、故事广播和科学展览，以进一步激发学生对自然科学学习的兴趣。
10．答案与解析：achievement/achievements　名词。根据空前的his or her可知，此处应填名词，又根据语境可知，此处可用单数也可用复数，故填achievement/achievements。句意：来自世界各地的自然科学人才通过展览、科学绘画和讲故事的方式展示了他们的成就。

2．答案与解析：F　分析语境寻线索：本部分的小标题为“Get moving”，因此，本部分旨在围绕锻炼给出建议→对比选项定答案：F项“让锻炼较为容易的一种方法是设定每天30分钟的体能活动目标”讲的内容是锻炼，且下文中的“This could include going for a brisk walk，riding your bike，or taking a fitness class”指的正是F项中的“physical activity”，故F项符合语境。
3．答案与解析：A　本部分的小标题讲到了“减少或戒掉糖”；空前句中的“Sugar can cause inflammation (发炎)and worsen existing health conditions”说的是糖的危害，A项“它还会导致体重增加，让你感到疲惫”承接上一句，讲到的也是糖的危害，故A项符合语境。
4．答案与解析：E　空前句讲到了水对人体的重要性，空后讲到了喝水给你身体带来的好处，由此可知，空处与空后内容形成递进关系，讲到的应该是要喝水，E项“所以下次你感到累的时候，喝杯水而不要喝咖啡”创造了一种情景，讲述了喝水可以缓解疲劳，本句可以完美地引出下文，故E项符合语境。
5．答案与解析：G　本部分的小标题是“Get enough sleep”，与话题内容相关的有C项和G项。空前讲到了睡眠充足可以带来的好处，而没有提出一些建议，故C项错误，G项符合语境。

2024·广东模拟Ⅰ 说明文 310词 ★★★★☆
For some people, October is Octobear. On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”， took the first place spot with 68，105 votes. It weighed around 1，400 pounds.
Fat Bear Week started in 2014. At first, it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one day event attracted 1，700 votes. In 2015 , it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800，000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign.
The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America's national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska's wilderness to fans' computer screens. “ It's not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore，” Fitz said.
Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. “ The 2，200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon (三文鱼) in the world，” said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai's bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far.
Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it's because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don't have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “ Maybe things aren't super great all the time in the world，” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “ But there are some really fat bears in Alaska. ”
【语篇解读】　本文介绍了位于阿拉斯加州南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区举办的“胖熊周”活动。文章详细说明了该活动的安排、来历、目的和意义。
1．Why was Bear 747 the winner
A．It was the heaviest.
B．It was the most famous.

2．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2
A．To praise Mike Fitz for his work.
B．To review the history of the event.
C．To show the popularity of fat bears.
D．To explain the role of live webcams.

3．What can we learn about Katmai's bears
A．They bring tourists to the park.
B．They have a stable food source.
C．They remain difficult to be seen.
D．They face a population decline.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“关于卡特迈的熊，我们能了解到什么？”→寻线索：根据第四段最后一句话“Luckily, Brooks River，which Katmai's bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far”可知，幸运的是，到目前为止，卡特迈的熊喜欢在布鲁克斯河捕鱼的地方还没有受到这些威胁→定答案：由此可知，卡特迈的熊有稳定的食物来源，故选B。
4．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Fat Bear Week: Conservation Is Joyful
B．Brown Bears: Winter Survival Is Crucial
C．Bear 747: A Fat Yet Healthy Champion
D．Katmai's Bears: A Special Beauty Contest
答案与解析：A　理解文章主旨要义。文章第一段提到了卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区发起的“胖熊周”活动，该活动吸引了无数的粉丝，后面的内容围绕这一活动展开。综合各选项可知，A项概括了文章的大意，最适合作本文的标题，故选A。

2022·全国乙卷 应用文 321词 ★★★★☆
In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N．Y.—Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff's granddaughter.
Why did they go then Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken.
They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.
In Wickenden's book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls' decision to go to Elkhead. A hair raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed (牵涉) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy's return to Auburn.
Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top：“When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.”
【语篇解读】　这是一篇书评。本文简要介绍了Dorothy Wickenden的书籍并对其进行了评价。
5．Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains
A．To teach in a school.
B．To study American history.
C．To write a book.
D．To do sightseeing.
答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据第一段“In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N．Y.—Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one room schoolhouse. (1916年，来自纽约奥本市的两个富裕家庭的女孩——Dorothy Woodruff和Rosamond Underwood——来到落基山脉的一个定居点，在一间只有一个房间的学校教书。)”可知，Dorothy和Rosamond去落基山脉是为了去学校里教书。故选A项。
6．What can we learn about the girls from Paragraph 3
A．The enjoyed much respect.
B．They had a room with a bathtub.
C．They lived with the local kids.
D．They suffered severe hardships.
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第三段“They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning.(他们和一个当地家庭，哈里森一家一起搬进去，和他们一样，几乎没有隐私，很少洗澡，早上醒来时被子上覆盖着一层雪。)”以及“In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.(在春天，雪被泥替代覆盖在冰上。)”可知，女孩们的生活条件非常艰苦，她们饱受磨难。故选D项。
7．Which part of Wickenden's writing is hair raising
A．The extreme climate of Auburn.
B．The living conditions in Elkhead.
C．The railroad building in the Rockies.
D．The natural beauty of the West.

8．What is the text
A．A news report. B．A book review.
C．A children's story. D．A diary entry.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy's return to Auburn.(这本书以Rosamond和Dorothy回到奥本结束。)”以及最后一段“Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism of the people move her to some beautiful writing.(Wickenden是个很好的讲故事的人。大地的辽阔和人们的坚忍使她创作出了一些美丽的作品。)”可知，本文简要介绍了Wickenden的书籍内容，并对其进行了评价，所以本文是一篇书评。故选B项。
Ⅱ.七选五
2024·东北五市质检 说明文 245词 ★★★☆☆
A three act structure is one particular way in which a story can be told and is often employed to write a screenplay. __1__. Though some writers find it imperfect, this structure works well for many screenplays.
The first act of the three act structure is typically described as being the first fourth of a story. A 120 minute film would have the first act of about 30 minutes in length. In this section, the main and supporting characters are introduced and the basic problem of the story is presented. __2__．
Following the plot point, the second act of a story begins, as the hero sets off to solve the problem. __3__； therefore, it might be the middle 60 minutes of a 120 minute film. During this act, numerous obstacles (障碍) arise to prevent the hero from solving the problem.
At one point in the second act, all hope seems lost and the characters believe that success cannot be achieved. This is called the midpoint and falls about halfway through the story. __4__， and continue moving with renewed purpose toward the plot point that ends the second act.
__5__. In other words, it is about the last 30 minutes of a 120 minute film. In this section, the problem reaches its climax (高潮) at the moment of the greatest dramatic tension. Once this occurs, the problem is essentially solved and the remaining story is a resolution. It allows the audience to return to normality and enjoy the victory of the hero over the problem.
A．They come through this, however
B．This act is usually half of the story
C．The problem seems to be challenging
D．The final act is the last fourth of the story
E．They have reached a low point, experiencing a “false” loss
F．It ends with a plot point that consists of the hero taking on the problem
G．This basic format breaks up the story into three pieces, each called an “act”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在编写电影剧本时经常采用的三幕式结构。
1．答案与解析：G　解题步骤如下：
①分析语境 寻线索 空前提到三幕式结构是讲述故事的一种特殊方式，在写电影剧本时也经常使用，这是对三幕式结构的具体解释；空后提到对这一结构的评价。由此可知，空处应承接上文，进一步对三幕式结构进行阐释。
②对比选项 定答案 G项“这种基本形式将故事分成三部分，每一部分称为‘一幕’”与空前内容衔接紧密，且能够总领下文的“The first act”“the second act”等内容，符合语境。
2.答案与解析：F　解题步骤如下：
①分析语境 寻线索 根据空前内容可知，本段主要介绍的是三幕式结构中第一幕的具体内容，因此空处应呼应此主题。再结合下一段开头的“Following the plot point... the problem”可知，空处内容还应能够引出下文，且涉及“plot point”“problem”。
②对比选项 定答案 F项“它以一个情节点结束，该情节点是主人公承担起解决问题的责任”承上启下，符合语境。F项中的“a plot point”和“taking on the problem”与下文中的“the plot point”和“solve the problem”对应。
3.答案与解析：B　空前提到故事的第二幕开始了。空后提到因此，它可能是一部120分钟的电影的中间60分钟。由此可知，空处内容应与故事的第二幕有关，且能与空后内容构成因果关系，故B项“这一幕通常是故事的一半”符合语境。
4．答案与解析：A　空前提到在第二幕的某一时刻，所有的希望似乎都破灭了，剧中的角色都认为成功是不可能实现的，空后提到带着新的决心继续朝着第二幕结束的情节点前进。由此可知，空处应提到剧中的角色已经克服了困难。A项“然而，他们还是挺过来了”符合语境。该选项中的“They”指代上文中的“the characters”，“this”指代上文提到的所有的希望似乎都破灭了，剧中的角色都认为成功是不可能实现的这一情况。
5．答案与解析：D　空处为段落主题句。根据文章的整体结构以及空后提到的换句话说，它是一部120分钟的电影的最后30分钟可知，空处应是在说明三幕式结构中的第三幕。D项“最后一幕是故事的最后四分之一”能够总领下文，符合语境。

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.”
【语篇解读】　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。

2024·新课标Ⅰ卷，D 说明文 354词 ★★★☆☆
　　In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application，” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable？”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it，” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity
“Quite a lot，” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places—and even species—that are not well sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”
语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与社会——科学研究——生物样本数据的可用性
【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了一个有关生物样本数据的研究。文章探究了生物样本数据的可用性，指出了实证研究发现的问题并提出了提高数据质量的措施。
1．What do we know about the records of species collected now
A．They are becoming outdated.
B．They are mostly in electronic form.
C．They are limited in number.
D．They are used for public exhibition.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第一段的“Today, most records of biodiversity are...videos, and other digital records.”可知，现在，大多数生物多样性的记录通常以照片、视频和其他的数字记录形式存在。故选B项。选项中的“electronic form”是对原文中的“videos，and other digital records”的同义转换。
2．What does Daru's study focus on
A．Threatened species. B．Physical specimens.
C．Observational data. D．Mobile applications.
答案与解析：C　理解具体信息。根据第二段的“and since we are increasingly using observational data...Are they usable？”可知，Daru及其团队使用观察数据来研究物种是如何对全球变化作出回应的，他想知道这些观察数据是否可用。再根据第三段的内容可知，Daru及其团队使用一个全球数据集，测试这些数据在多大程度上展示了实际的全球生物多样性模式。由此可知，Daru的研究关注观察数据。故选C项。A项“濒危物种”；B项“实物标本”；C项“观察数据”；D项“手机应用程序”。
3．What has led to the biases according to the study
A.Mistakes in data analysis.
B．Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C．Improper way of sampling.
D．Unreliable data collection devices.
答案与解析：C　推断。根据第四段的“We were particularly interested...instead of the grass right next to it”可知，研究人员对探索可能导致数据偏差的采样的方方面面特别感兴趣，比如公民科学家很有可能只拍开花植物而不拍它旁边的青草。由此可知，采样方式的不当会导致数据偏差，故选C项。A项“数据分析中的错误”；B项“上传的图片质量差”；D项“数据收集设备不可靠”。
4．What is Daru's suggestion for biodiversity apps
A．Review data from certain areas.
B．Hire experts to check the records.
C．Confirm the identity of the users.
D．Give guidance to citizen scientists.
答案与解析：D　理解具体信息。根据第七段的“Biodiversity apps can use...to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image”可知，生物多样性应用程序可以使用Daru他们的研究结果来让用户知道哪些地区是采样过量的地区，并且引导他们去对采样不是很好的地方或者物种进行采样。为了改善观察数据的质量，生物多样性应用程序也鼓励用户让专家确认他们上传的图片。结合第五段的“the people who get...citizen scientists”可知，这里的用户指代的是公民科学家。故选D项。A项“检查特定区域的数据”；B项“雇用专家去检查记录”；C项“确认用户身份”；D项“给公民科学家一些指导”。

2023·全国甲卷 说明文 285词 ★★☆☆☆
I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学).
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them.
Eric Weiner's The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.
He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It's worth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of.
【语篇解读】　这是一篇说明文。作者在13岁时开始喜欢哲学，随后Weiner的书The Socrates Express唤起了作者对哲学的热爱。文章通过介绍了The Socrates Express这本书，倡导读者花时间去读这本书。
5．Who opened the door to philosophy for the author
A.Foucault. B．Eric Weiner.
C．Jostein Gaarder. D．A college teacher.
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第一段“I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy(哲学).(我13岁的时候，一个叔叔给了我一本Jostein Gaarder的《 Sophie的世界》。书里面的观点对我来说都很新奇，所以我整个夏天都在钻研那本书。它对我说话，把我带入一个哲学的世界。)”可知，Jostein Gaarder为作者打开了通往哲学的大门。故选C。
6．Why does the author list great philosophers in Paragraph 4
A．To compare Weiner with them.
B．To give examples of great works.
C．To praise their writing skills.
D．To help readers understand Weiner's book.
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第四段中“Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. (Weiner在每一章的开头都描述了一个城市之间火车旅行的场景，然后将每一位哲学家的著作框定在一个他们能够帮助我们做得更好的事情上。最终的结果是，我们学会了像苏格拉底一样思考，像梭罗一样看，像叔本华一样听，像尼采一样没有遗憾。)”可知，作者在第四段开头描写了Weiner书的内容，接着作者通过列举了几位伟大的哲学家来描写读完这本书后我们能从中学到的东西，由此可推知，作者列举了几位伟大的哲学家是为了帮助读者理解Weiner的书。故选D。
7．What does the author like about The Socrates Express
A．Its views on history are well presented.
B．Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C．It includes comments from readers.
D．It leaves an open ending.
答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第四段中“This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.(这不仅仅是一本关于理解哲学的书，更是一本关于学习运用哲学来改善生活的书。)”可知，作者喜欢The Socrates Express这本书，是因为它的思想可以应用到日常生活中。故选B。
8．What does the author think of Weiner's book
A．Objective and plain.
B．Daring and ambitious.
C．Serious and hard to follow.
D．Humorous and straightforward.
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor.(他使哲学思想成为一种有吸引力的练习，可以提高我们经验的质量，而且他在做这件事的时候充满了幽默感。)”可知，Weiner的书很幽默，根据最后一段中“The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. (The Socrates Express是一本有趣而尖锐的书，它以其表面上的简单吸引着读者，并逐渐将他们拉进对欲望、孤独和衰老的深层思考中。)”可知，Weiner的书简单易懂，由此可知，Weiner的书既幽默又简单易懂。故选D。

语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与社会——社会与文化——中西方文化互鉴
【语篇解读】　本文介绍了英国“丝路花园”的整体设计以及其中新建成的玻璃温室。
1．答案与解析：engineering　非谓语动词。空处修饰空后的名词techniques，在句中作定语，说明名词的作用，故填动名词engineering。此处表示“最新的设计制造技术”。
2．答案与解析：functional　形容词。空处与protective并列，修饰空后的名词structure，应用形容词形式，故填functional“实用的”。句意：最新的工程技术被应用于创建这种兼具保护性和功能性且还美观的结构。
3．答案与解析：to give　非谓语动词。空处所在句的谓语动词是open，空处应用非谓语动词。根据语境可知此处表示目的，故填不定式to give。句意：在温暖的日子里，这些萼片会打开以给内部植物(提供)阳光和新鲜空气。
4．答案与解析：closed　形容词。空前的stays作系动词，表示“保持”，空处作表语，表示“关闭的”，故应用形容词closed。
5．答案与解析：walks　动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作谓语。本句描述了the Silk Route Garden的客观情况，时态用一般现在时；此处时态也可以根据下文中的“contains...guides...offers”判断；walk在此作动词，表示“(循序渐进地)教，逐步引导”，与主语the Silk Route Garden之间为主动关系；主语表示第三人称单数。所以填walks。
6．答案与解析：the　冠词。此处考查固定表达for the first time，意为“第一次”，所以填the。
7．答案与解析：favourites　名词复数。分析句子结构可知，空处作动词included的宾语，前面的modern Western为定语，所以此处应填名词；根据空后的举例“such as rosemary, lavender and fennel”可知，空处表示复数概念。故填favourites。favourite在此处为可数名词，表示“特别喜爱的事物”。
8．答案与解析：as　介词。结合语境“该玻璃温室作为当代设计的伟大成就而存在”可知，空处需要填as。
9．答案与解析：that/which　定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为表示物的名词短语the Silk Route，关系词在从句中作主语，所以填that/which。
10．答案与解析：richness　名词。空处跟在定冠词the之后，且空后的of gardening对空处进行限定，因此应填名词richness。

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer's markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it's a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it's eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there's no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment，” said a BMF employee.
语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术——BMF缩短食物到餐桌的距离
【语篇解读】　本文介绍了一家旨在为人们提供新鲜食材的BMF公司。
4．What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1
A．It guarantees the variety of food.
B．It requires day to day care.
C．It cuts the farm to table distance.
D．It relies on farmer's markets.
答案与解析：C　推断。根据第一段中的“However，most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table”和“Babylon Micro Farm (BMF) shortens it even more”可知，大部分商店的农产品要经历几周的运输并跨越很长距离才能到达人们的餐桌。BMF公司大大缩短了这一过程。末句中的“it”代指前文的“journey”，并和选项C中的“distance”构成同义词替换，故选C项。
5．What information does the convenient app offer
A．Real time weather changes.
B．Current condition of the plants.
C．Chemical pollutants in the soil.
D．Availability of pre seeded pods.
答案与解析：B　理解具体信息。根据第三段中的“there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time”可知，有一个便捷的应用程序实时提供(植物的)生长数据，这和B项的意思契合。
6．What can be concluded about BMF employees
A．They have a great passion for sports.
B．They are devoted to community service.
C．They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D．They have a strong environmental awareness.
答案与解析：D　推断。根据文章末段中对BMF公司员工的生活和工作情况的描述以及BMF员工的自述“We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment”可知，BMF员工们在日常生活中践行可持续发展，大约半数的员工走路或骑自行车上班。在办公室里，他们通过限制垃圾桶数量及避免使用一次性塑料的方式鼓励回收利用及减少废物。他们都热衷于减少环境中的废物、碳和化学物质。据此可以推断：BMF公司的员工有着强烈的环保意识，故选D项。
7．What does the text mainly talk about
A．BMF's major strengths.
B．BMF's general management.
C．BMF's global influence.
D．BMF's technical standards.
答案与解析：A　理解文章主旨要义。文章首段介绍BMF公司缩短了食物到餐桌的运输过程，接着第二至四段介绍了BMF的创新设计系统及其优势，最后一段介绍了BMF员工在生活和工作中践行可持续发展。综上所述，文章从各个方面凸显了BMF的优势。

2022·全国乙卷 说明文 300词 ★★★★☆
The Government's sugar tax on soft drinks has brought in half as much money as Ministers first predicted it would generate, the first official data on the policy has shown.
First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity (肥胖). It is believed that today's children and teenagers are consuming three times the recommended level of sugar, putting them at a higher risk of the disease.
Initially the sugar tax was expected to make ￡520m a year for the Treasury. However, data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this amount. At present it is expected to generate ￡240m for the year ending in April 2019, which will go to school sports.
It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers (制造商) so they can avoid paying the tax. Drinks now contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers' efforts to avoid the charge, according to Treasury figures. Since April drinks companies have been forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import, depending on the sugar content.
However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.
Today's figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities (设施) and healthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation to have a healthy and active childhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its part.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国政府对软饮料征收的糖税来解决儿童以及青少年的健康问题，同时该收入用于学校体育。
1．Why was the sugar tax introduced
A．To collect money for schools.
B．To improve the quality of drinks.
C．To protect children's health.
D．To encourage research in education.
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity .(该税于2016年4月首次宣布，适用于每100毫升含糖超过5g的软饮料，旨在帮助减少儿童肥胖)”可知，征收糖税的目的是帮助儿童减少肥胖，保护儿童健康。故选C项。
2．How did some drinks companies respond to the sugar tax
A．They turned to overseas markets.
B．They raised the prices of their products.
C．They cut down on their production.
D．The reduced their products' sugar content.

3．From which of the following is the sugar tax collected
A．Most alcoholic drinks.
B．Milk based drinks.
C．Fruit juices.
D．Classic Coke.
答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.(然而，一些高糖品牌，如经典可口可乐，已经接受了糖税，并拒绝改变，因为担心会惹恼消费者。果汁、以牛奶为原料的饮料和大多数酒精饮料是免税的，每年生产不到100万升的小公司也是免税的)”可知，糖税主要来自经典可口可乐这些高糖品牌。故选D项。
4．What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy

2022·全国乙卷 说明文 307词 ★★★★☆
Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year That is the very likely future of applying today's “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast moving trains would be able to react in time.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。应用今天的“空中之眼”的技术，无人机能在保证铁路安全可靠的同时又能帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元。
5．What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible
A.The use of drones in checking on power lines.
B．Drones' ability to work at high altitudes.
C．The reduction of cost in designing drones.
D．Drones' reliable performance in remote areas.
答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Drones are already being used to examine high tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points.(无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。他们完全可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面，如铁路轨道和换乘点的正确位置)”可推知，无人机在高空工作的能力使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能。故选A。
6．What does “maintenance” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Personnel safety.
B．Assistance from drones.
C．Inspection and repair.
D．Construction of infrastructure.
答案与解析：C　词义猜测题。根据后文“It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. (据统计，仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为200亿欧元，其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修铁路基础设施)”可知花在maintenance上的费用是用于“inspect and repair the rail infrastructure (检查和维修铁路基础设施)”，由此可知“That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety”是指大幅节省检修成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全，划线词和 C项：Inspection and repair(检修)含义相近。故选C。
7．What function is expected of the rail drones
A．To provide early warning.
B．To make trains run automatically.
C．To earn profits for the crews.
D．To accelerate transportation.
答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast moving trains would be able to react in time.(带有先进传感器和人工智能的非常小的无人机可以像副驾驶一样在火车前面行驶。 凭借他们的预见能力，他们可以发出任何问题的信号，以便快速行驶的火车能够及时做出反应。)”可知对于无人机期待的功能是提前发现问题做出预警。故选A。
8．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones
B．How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded
C．What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face
D．How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways
答案与解析：D　主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第一段“Can a small group of drones(无人机)guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year That is the very likely future of applying today's ‘eyes in the sky’ technology to making sure that the millions of kilometers of rail tracks and infrastructure(基础设施)worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.(一小群无人机能否在保证铁路安全可靠的同时，帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元？这很可能是应用今天的‘空中之眼’技术的未来，以确保全球数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全运行。)”以及后文第二段讲到了使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能；第三段讲到了使用无人机大幅节省维护成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全；第四段讲到了通过使用最新的技术，无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高的价值，可知文章主要讲述了无人机将如何改变铁路的未来，所以D项“无人机将如何改变铁路的未来。”符合文章中心思想，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。

[2024·湖北武汉部分学校调研]
A Hearty Welcome
Chase counted his new year gifts one more time as he put a robot shaped eraser into each envelope. “Twenty, twenty one, twenty two.”
“Do you have one for everyone in your class？” Mom asked.
“Yep！” Chase said. “I'm ready for the party tomorrow！”
When Chase got to school the next day, he saw a new girl in his classroom. She stood near Ms. Robins and looked around shyly.
“This is Eva，” said Ms. Robins. “Will someone volunteer to show her around today？” Chase raised his hand since he liked showing the new kids around and helping them feel welcome.
“Thanks, Chase，” Ms. Robins said. “Now let's get down to our work.”
That's when Chase realized he didn't have a new year gift for Eva. No one else would have one either. Chase pictured his classmates' desks covered with gifts while Eva's desk was empty. He felt sad about that.
At break, he was careful not to mention the party as he showed Eva around the playground. At lunchtime, he walked Eva to the lunchroom, still worried about what would happen at the party. Eva had brought a packed lunch, so Chase showed her where she was supposed to sit and introduced her to some of the kids at her table.
While eating, Chase suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. This won't be New Year's Day for Eva with no gifts. But as he sat down at his table, an idea flooded into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him. Soon everyone at the table was nodding and whispering.
When they were back in the classroom after lunch, Chase told Ms. Robins about their plan. Ms. Robins smiled. “That's very thoughtful，” she said. “Let's go for it.”
It was math time, so Chase invited Eva to study with him. He made sure Eva sat with her back to the room so she wouldn't notice.

One possible version：
Meanwhile, her new classmates were busy working on something. They were going to give Eva their “hearts”. Quickly but quietly, Ms. Robins, with an exquisite paper bag she fetched from her office, was walking around the classroom to collect the candy hearts. Growing heavy with the paper bag was the students' welcome for their new classmate. Sitting beside Eva, Chase felt his heart racing and palms sweating. In order not to ruin the new year surprise for Eva, he pretended to be discussing math problems with her to occupy her attention. The stone in his heart finally dropped when Ms. Robins tiptoed towards him and placed the paper bag on his hands.
“Here's your new year gift, Eva. It's from everyone，” Chase said. Surprise written on Eva's face, she turned around and was greeted by the sunny smiles on her classmates' faces. “Open it，” Chase said. No sooner had she opened the paper bag than everybody cheered, “Happy New Year.” The candies which were made in the shape of hearts blurred her eyes. Springing from her seat, she stepped forward and bowed to her new but considerate classmates, who not only erased her anxiety but also planted the seed of hope in her heart. What a hearty welcome!
