Passage 1
话题：工作与敬业 词数：约305 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
[2023全国乙卷]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.
本文叙述了美国艾奥瓦州的一位摄影师的拍摄日常，为了拍出优秀的风景照，摄影师付出了很多，其中不乏艰辛，当然有收获也有遗憾。
1.How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest ( )
B
A.By teaming up with other photographers. B.By shooting in the countryside or state parks.
C.By studying the geographical conditions. D.By creating settings in the corn fields.
【解析】理解具体信息 根据第二段的"To make some of my landscape shots...the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way"可知，作者和他的朋友们到州公园或农村去拍照，以此来应对中西部缺少地理多样性的挑战。故B项正确。
2.What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author ( )
A
A.Proper time management. B.Good shooting techniques. C.Adventurous spirit. D.Distinctive styles.
【解析】理解具体信息 根据第三段第一句可知，恰当的地点和恰当的时间对于拍摄任何风格的照片都起着决定性的作用。第三段的最后一句验证了作者所说。故A项正确。
3.What can we infer from the author's trip with friends to Devil's Lake ( )
C
A.They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B.They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.
C.They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D.They had problems with their equipment.
【解析】推断 根据第四段的"However, we did not mark the route（路线）...it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time"可知，文中描述的是几乎完全错过了日落，在找到地点之后,安置拍摄设备的时间就非常有限了，也就是说他们比预想的到达得晚。故C项正确。
4.How does the author find his photos taken at Devil's Lake ( )
B
A.Amusing. B.Satisfying. C.Encouraging. D.Comforting.
【解析】推断 根据第四段中的"Still, looking back on the photos...if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely"可知，虽然有准备不充分和时间管理不明智等方面的遗憾，作者依然认为这是一些自己拍得最好的照片。故B项正确。

话题：Rosemary的教学生涯 词数：约330 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
真题变式：职业精神[2024河南普高联考（二）]Rosemary Curts didn't become a teacher for money or prestige（声望） or because she wanted a drama-free life.Curts, an energetic 30-year-old high school teacher in Texas, become a teacher because she loves math, and she wants to share her passion and the beauty she sees in math with others.
One of the people Curts has impacted is Jasmine, whom she first encountered when Jasmine was a junior（三年级学生） in high school. Jasmine bravely participated in a class of seniors. After graduating last year, Jasmine approached Curts to tell her that she got into Texas Tech University and planned to major in computer science. After wandering awkwardly, she got up the courage finally to speak out what she really wanted to say: You made me like math again. In those moments, everything makes sense to Curts.
However, lately, these moments have become harder to hold on to due to issues that have made teaching more difficult. One major issue is the shortage of staff. Last fall, on the first day of school, Curts had 45 students in her algebra class, which was 15 more than usual. There were so many students that some had to sit on tables or hold their papers against the wall to write out their math problems. Curts says,"There weren't enough desks in my room for all the kids. And even if there were enough desks, we wouldn't have been able to fit them all in."
Teaching has always been a challenging job. It requires a lot of work, and in many school districts, the pay stinks. However, for some teachers in these districts, pay isn't the only issue that motivates them to look for other opportunities. The lack of career advancement is another factor.
Despite these challenges, Rosemary Curts plans to continue teaching. She believes that the connections she makes with her students and the moments when they have breakthroughs and understand a concept make it all worthwhile for her.
本文介绍了Rosemary Curts的教学经历，通过讲述她在教学中遇到的困难，赞扬Curts坚守职业的初心。

人与自我——职业精神
本语篇依托"人与自我"主题语境，弘扬爱岗敬业的职业精神，选材方向与2023年全国乙卷阅读理解B篇（Passage 1）一致，旨在引导同学们重视劳育，培养敬业精神。
1.Which one best describes Rosemary Curts ( )
B
A.Devoted and demanding. B.Passionate and dogged. C.Ambitious and creative. D.Knowledgeable and just.
【解析】推断 由第一段最后一句中的"she loves math, and she wants to share her passion and the beauty she sees in math with others"以及最后一段中的"Despite these challenges, Rosemary Curts plans to continue teaching"可知，Curts对于数学教师这份职业充满热情，虽然面临一些挑战，她还是选择坚持下去。A项"全心全意的和要求极严的"；B项"热爱的和坚持不懈的"；C项"有野心的和有创造力的"；D项"博学的和公正的"。故选B项。
2.Which of the following most affects the teaching of Curts' high school ( )
D
A.Public administration. B.Relatively limited salary. C.Regional changes. D.Lack of teachers.
【解析】理解具体信息 由第三段中的"However, lately, these moments have become harder to hold on to due to issues that have made teaching more difficult. One major issue is the shortage of staff"可知，由于一些问题使教学变得更加困难，一个主要问题是员工短缺，故选D项。
干扰分析项
文中未提及"公共管理"，故排除A项。第四段提到"在很多学区，教师的薪酬很低"，也就是说老师的薪酬存在地区差异，但又提到"薪酬并不是促使他们寻找其他机会的唯一问题"，因此B项"相对有限的薪酬"和C项"区域性变化"不是影响Curts所在高中教学的最大问题，故可排除B项和C项。
3.What does the underlined word "stinks" in paragraph 4 mean ( )
C
A.Seems uplifting. B.Seems considerable. C.Seems awful. D.Seems amazing.
【解析】理解词汇 根据画线词前的"Teaching has always been a challenging job"可知，教学是一项困难的工作；又根据画线词后的"However, for some teachers in these districts, pay isn't the only issue that motivates them to look for other opportunities"可知，对于这些地区的一些教师来说，薪酬并不是促使他们寻找其他机会的唯一问题。此句与上文形成转折，由此可推知，薪酬是促使教师转业一大因素，这也就可以推知，在很多学区，教师的薪酬很低。故选C项，awful意为"糟糕的"。
4.What can be inferred from the text ( )
D
A.The majority of students are fond of math class.
B.Jasmine met Curts in her first year of high school.
C.Curts didn't gain praise from her students and the public.
D.Jasmine was hesitant to express her thanks to Curts at fist.
【解析】推断 根据第二段中的"After wandering awkwardly, she got up the courage finally to speak out what she really wanted to say"可知，Jasmine一开始犹豫不决，最终鼓起勇气向Curts表达了感谢的话，故选D项。
干扰分析项
文中未提及大多数学生对数学课的态度，因此A项可排除。根据第二段中的"One of the people Curts has impacted is Jasmine, whom she first encountered when Jasmine was a junior（三年级学生）in high school"可知，Curts第一次遇到Jasmine是在高三的时候，因此B项表述错误；文中第二段提到Jasmine向作者表达了感谢，说明Curts得到了学生的赞扬，但文中未提及公众对Curts的评价，故可排除C项。
Passage 3
话题：哲学著作《苏格拉底快车》 词数：约325 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
[2023全国甲卷]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.
本文重点介绍了哲学著作《苏格拉底快车》，该书语言幽默，陈述直白，却能让读者深刻思考日常生活中的欲望、孤独等哲学问题。
1.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author ( )
C
A.Foucault. B.Eric Weiner. C.Jostein Gaarder. D.A college teacher.
【解析】理解具体信息 根据第一段的"an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World"和第一段尾句"It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy（哲学）"可知，Jostein Gaarder的《苏菲的世界》把作者带进了一个哲学的世界。故Jostein Gaarder为作者打开了哲学大门。
2.Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4 ( )
D
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.
【解析】推断 通读第四段，特别是该段尾句"This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life"可知，在列举了几位伟大的哲学家后，作者指出，这不仅仅是一本关于理解哲学的书，更是一本关于学习如何运用哲学来改善生活的书。据此可以推知，作者列举几位伟大的哲学家是为了帮助读者更好地理解Weiner的这本书。
3.What does the author like about The Socrates Express ( )
B
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.
【解析】推断 根据最后一段的"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"可知，《苏格拉底快车》是一本有趣而尖锐的书，它因显而易见的简单而吸引读者，并逐渐将他们带入对欲望、孤独和衰老的更深层次的思考。结合常识可以推知，《苏格拉底快车》的思想可以用于日常生活中，故B项正确。
4.What does the author think of Weiner's book ( )
D
A.Objective and plain. B.Daring and ambitious.
C.Serious and hard to follow. D.Humorous and straightforward.
【解析】推断 根据第五段的"he does so with plenty of humor"可知，该书充满了幽默；根据最后一段第一句"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" 可知，《苏格拉底快车》因显而易见的简单而吸引读者，并逐渐将他们带入对欲望、孤独和衰老的更深层次的思考。据此可以推知，Weiner的书幽默且易懂，故D项正确。

So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a novel. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn't appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn't handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
My partner had a bookcase full of novels, so I figured, "Why not try fiction " To help me stick with it, I made a New Year's resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fiction — fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their history. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I've started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.

话题：篮球与数学结合的教学 词数：约310 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
新素养：智育+体育[2024河北唐山摸底演练]Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when McNee, a basketball coach, met Mandekic. When Mandekic, a math teacher, told McNee how hard it was to get students excited about math at a gathering, he suggested, "Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports " "You are kidding!" Mandekic dismissed his idea at the moment.
The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot two years later, when Mandekic and McNee, the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring nonprofit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who'd failed Grade 9 math at Georges Vanier Secondary School.
When the students showed up for their first day, they weren't exactly thrilled. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them math knowledge. At the end of the game, the winning team
was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. "When the bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn't leave," says Mandekic. The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools.
Later, McNee and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with excellent basketball skills study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics after-school programs. For the school's first graduates, the value of BallMatics is clear: three boys landed university scholarships for their performance in the classroom, not on the court."The school's commitment to academics is the key reason for our success. The coaches would bench students who didn't keep up in class." Abbott, one of them, says. "At Uchenna, we were student athletes, after all, not athlete students."

智育+体育双重浸润
本语篇讲述了两位老师把数学和篮球结合起来教学，帮助学生们学习数学，选材关注教育，渗透"智育"，同时引导同学们关注"体育"。"智育"和"体育"双重浸润，培养同学们的综合能力。
1.How did McNee's suggestion sound to Mandekic at first ( )
B
A.Confusing. B.Absurd. C.Practical. D.Professional.
【解析】推断 根据第一段中的"When Mandekic, a math teacher…he suggested, ‘Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports ’"和Mandekic的回答"You are kidding!"可知，当McNee建议Mandekic在数学中加入学生喜欢的东西，比如体育时，Mandekic觉得他在开玩笑，也就是说他觉得这一想法很荒谬，故选B。confusing"难以理解的，不清楚的"；absurd"荒谬的，荒唐的"；practical"切实可行的"；professional"专业的"。
2.Why did other schools welcome the classes ( )
A
A.They enhanced students' concentration. B.They improved students' shooting techniques.
C.They helped students learn math unknowingly. D.They guaranteed students' show-up percentage.
【解析】推断 根据第三段中的"When the bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn't leave"可知，当铃声响起时，学生们如此专注于收集数据，要弄清楚哪支球队赢了，以至于他们没有离开，说明这些课程提升了学生们的专注力；又根据下文中的"The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools"可知，这些课程后来被命名为BallMatics，很快就推广到了其他学校。由此可推知，其他学校欢迎这些课程是因为这些课程可以提升学生们的专注力。故选A。
3.What can be inferred from Abbott's words ( )
A
A.Students got balanced development. B.The coaches cared little about students.
C.Uchenna attracted more and more students. D.He doubted the education idea of the school.
【解析】推断 根据最后一段Abbott所说的话"The school's commitment to academics is the key reason for our success. The coaches would bench students who didn't keep up in class"和"At Uchenna, we were student athletes, after all, not athlete students"可知，学校对学者的承诺是学生成功的关键原因，教练会把那些在课堂上跟不上的学生放在替补席上。在这所学校，学生们是学生运动员，而不是运动员学生。由此可推知，在Abbott看来，Uchenna的办学是很成功的，他们让学生在运动和学习方面得到了均衡的发展。故选A。
4.What is the best title for the text ( )
A
A.Big Win B.Math Struggling C.Numbers Game D.Athlete Training
【解析】理解主旨要义（标题判断） 根据第三段中的"The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools"可知，这些课程后来被命名为BallMatics，很快就推广到了其他学校；又根据最后一段中的"For the school's first graduates, the value of BallMatics is clear: three boys landed university scholarships...not on the court"和Abbott所说的话可知，BallMatics的价值是显而易见的：3名男孩都因为他们在课堂上的表现而获得了大学奖学金，而不是在球场上，BallMatics课程让学生们在运动和学习方面得到了均衡的发展。这些都说明BallMatics课程和Uchenna学校是重大的成功。故选A。
Passage 6
话题：学校种植基地 词数：约335 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
新文体：书评[2024天星原创]In the poorest and the least healthful county in New York State, there is still cause for celebration — particularly when it involves students. In The Power of a Plant by globally known teacher Stephen Ritz, you're taken on a journey witnessing changes in his community.
Throughout, Ritz notes some amazing stories he categorizes as connections and co-learning. You see the transformation of an industrial eyesore（碍眼的建筑） into a rooftop garden, resulting in a 100% graduation rate for those high school gardeners in a place where the rate earlier topped out at 17%. Ritz and his students fix a garden wall and he teaches in the first edible classroom, changing the way the students learn about food, nutrition, science and the culinary（烹饪的） arts.
Ritz launched the first National Health, Wellness and Learning Center in an over 100-year-old school, CS 55 in the South Bronx, in a neighborhood where you're more likely to see beer being sold than healthful offerings from a green grocery. This is the home of Green Bronx Machine, a nonprofit where Ritz is joined by a
volunteer team made up of his wife and daughter. They transformed the school's library into a place where butterflies are hatched and worms are tended. A kitchen was set up there and the students get monthly cooking lessons from chef Bill Yosses, where they often use the produce they grow on-site.
While it is based in the Bronx, you'll hear how Ritz has taken his message of Green Bronx Machine worldwide, and when possible, the students accompany him on the field trips. Ritz said, "I grow vegetables, but my vegetables grow students, schools and communities. My favorite crop is organically grown citizens who are growing and eating themselves into good health and amazing opportunities."
If you've ever heard Stephen Ritz in person, you'll get that same enthusiastic and accessible voice with vivid details in this writing, one I'm convinced will rank as one of the most inspirational books of all time.
文章主要介绍了知名教师Stephen Ritz的著作The Power of a Plant。Stephen Ritz把其执教的纽约州布朗克斯区一所学校的图书馆改造成种植基地，让学生在这里学习种植、烹饪等，在种植蔬菜的同时，也让那里的人、学校和社区健康发展。

1.What do the figures in paragraph 2 show about the transformation ( )
A
A.It is a big success. B.It has a rough start. C.It has long-term effects. D.It is a half-baked attempt.
【解析】推断 解题步骤如下：
①明题意 本题问的是"关于这种转变，第二段中的数字说明了什么"。
②寻线索 根据第二段中的"You see the transformation of ... the rate earlier topped out at 17%"
可知，你会看到一个碍眼的工业建筑变成了一个屋顶花园，使得那些高中生的毕业率
达到100%，而之前的毕业率最高为17%。由此可推知，这种转变是很成功的。
③定答案 A项"它非常成功"；B项"它有一个艰难的开始"；C项"它有长期的影响"；D项"它是一
次计划不周的尝试"。故选A。
2.How does Ritz make a difference to CS 55 ( )
D
A.By letting nature take its course. B.By following the advice of his family.
C.By filling its green grocery with healthy stuff. D.By exposing the students to planting and cooking.
【解析】理解具体信息 各选项分析如下：
A 曲解原文——根据第三段中的"They transformed the school's library ... worms are tended"可知，Ritz他们 对CS 55学校的图书馆进行了改造，并不是任学校自然发展。注意：let nature take its course是固定用法， 意为"顺其自然，任其自然发展"。 ×
B 偷换概念——根据第三段中的"This is the home of Green Bronx Machine ... a volunteer team made up of his wife and daughter...are tended"可知，Ritz的家人是以志愿者的身份帮助他对学校进行改造的,并不是 说改造学校的图书馆是Ritz家人的建议。 ×
C 无中生有——根据第三段中的"a neighborhood ... a green grocery"可知，CS 55所在的社区的食品杂货铺 卖的更多的是啤酒而不是有益健康的食物，并没有提到Ritz把食品杂货铺装满了健康食品。 ×
D 根据第三段中的"A kitchen was set up there and the students get monthly cooking lessons...use the produce they grow on-site"可知，改造后的图书馆里建了一个厨房，在那里，学生们每月都上厨师Bill Yosses的烹饪课，而且他们经常使用自己种植的农产品。也就是说，学生在那里可以体验种植和烹饪。 √
3.What is Ritz's writing mainly about ( )
D
A.Value and benefits of green-based co-learning. B.A teacher's worldwide field trips with his students.
C.Formation and development of Green Bronx Machine. D.A teacher's journey to grow healthy minds and schools.
【解析】理解具体信息 解题步骤如下：
①明题 意 本题问的是"Ritz的作品主要是关于什么的"。
②寻线 索 文章第二、三段重点介绍了对布朗克斯区CS 55学校的改造及其产生的影响，第四段介绍了Ritz去世界
各地传播Green Bronx Machine理念。结合这些内容可知，Ritz的作品重在介绍他致力于培育健康心灵及
学校的经历。
③定答 案 A项"基于绿色的共同学习的重要性和好处"；B项"一个教师和其学生的全球实地调查旅行"；C项"Green
Bronx Machine的形成与发展"；D项"一个教师培养健康心灵和学校的历程"。故选D。
4.What is the text ( )
B
A.A travel journal. B.A book review. C.A news report. D.A celebrity profile.
【解析】理解文章类型 根据文章内容，尤其是第一段中的"In The Power of a Plant by globally known teacher Stephen Ritz"及最后一段中的"you'll get that same enthusiastic... in this writing"可知，本文是一篇书评。A项"旅行日记"，C项"新闻报道"，D项"名人简介"均不符合题意。故选B。

Passage 1
话题：痴迷键盘 词数：约300 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
[2024河北邯郸一调]When the designer and typographer（排字工） Marcin Wichary chanced upon a tiny museum just outside Barcelona five years ago, the experience tipped his interest in the history of technology into an obsession （痴迷） with a very particular part of it: the keyboard.
"I have never seen so many typewriters under one roof. Not even close," he shared on the Internet at the time. "At this point, I literally have tears in my eyes. I'm not kidding. This feels like a miracle."
He'd had a discovery while wandering through the exhibit: Each key on a keyboard has its own stories. And these stories are not just about computing technology, but also about the people who designed, used, or otherwise interacted with the keyboards.
Take the backspace key for example, he explains,"I like that the concept of backspace was originally just that — a space going backward. We are used to it erasing now, but for a hundred years, erasing was its own incredibly complex effort. You needed to master a Comet eraser, or Wite-Out, or strange correction tapes, and possibly all of the above...or give up and start from scratch whenever you made a small mistake in typing."
The deeper he researched, the more obsessive he became. Amazed that no comprehensive books existed on the history of keyboards, he decided to create his own. When not working at his day job as the design leader for the design software company Figma, he began producing Shift Happens, a two-volume, 1, 216-page hardcover book — and raised over ?$750,000 for the project on Kickstarter in March of 2023. Wichary was only a bit surprised by the support and the keyboard's wide appeal. As he points out, "It's such a crucial device that occupies a lot of our waking life.”
本文讲述了去一家小博物馆的经历让设计师兼排字工Marcin Wichary对键盘产生了兴趣，之后他开始制作一本关于键盘历史的书。
1.After the museum experience, Wichary's interest in technology ___.
C
A.took off B.died out C.grew stronger D.became wider
【解析】推断 根据第一段"When the designer and typographer（排字工） Marcin Wichary chanced upon a tiny museum just outside Barcelona five years ago, the experience tipped his interest in the history of technology into an obsession（痴迷） with a very particular part of it: the keyboard"可知，五年前，当设计师兼排字工Marcin Wichary偶然发现巴塞罗那郊外的一家小博物馆时，这段经历让他对技术史的兴趣转变为对其中一个非常特殊的部分的痴迷：键盘。由此可推知，参观博物馆后，Wichary对技术史的兴趣变得更加强烈。故选C项。
2.What did Wichary discover while admiring the keyboards ( )
A
A.The stories behind them. B.The wisdom of humans.
C.The secret of the keyboards. D.The history of technology.
【解析】理解具体信息 根据第三段中的"He'd had a discovery while wandering through the exhibit: Each key on a keyboard has its own stories"可知，他在展览中发现：键盘上的每一个键都有自己的故事，也就是说Wichary在欣赏键盘时发现了键盘背后的故事。故选A项。
3.What does Wichary want to tell us about the backspace key in Paragraph 4 ( )
C
A.It is a simple but powerful key. B.It can be used to move back to one space.
C.It is the result of long-term improvement. D.It allows people to make mistakes when typing.
【解析】推断 根据第四段中的"We are used to it erasing now, but for a hundred years, erasing was its own incredibly complex effort. You needed to master...and possibly all of the above...or give up and start from scratch whenever you made a small mistake in typing"可知，我们现在已经习惯了退格键的擦除，但一百年来，擦除本身就是一项极其复杂的工作。你需要掌握Comet橡皮擦、修正液或奇怪的改正带，可能以上都要掌握……或者只要你在打字中犯了一个小错误，就放弃并从头开始。由此可推知，一百年前擦除本身就是一项极其复杂的工作，而现在擦除变得简单了，人们习惯用退格键进行擦除，Wichary想通过这种变化告诉我们退格键是长期改进的结果。故选C项。
4.Why did Wichary write his own book ( )
A
A.To fill a gap. B.To get famous. C.To make money. D.To record history.
【解析】推断 由最后一段中的"Amazed that no comprehensive books existed on the history of keyboards, he decided to create his own"可知，Wichary惊讶于没有一本关于键盘历史的综合性书籍，于是决定自己创作一本。由此可推知，Wichary自己写书是为了填补没有一本关于键盘历史的综合性书籍的空白。故选A项。
Passage 2
话题：文学家托马斯·哈代 词数：约360 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟[2024福建泉州质量监测（一）]
[2024福建泉州质量监测（一）]Thomas Hardy was born at Higher Bockhampton, Dorset, on June 2, 1840, where his father worked as a builder. From his father he gained an appreciation of music, and from his mother an appetite for learning and the delights of the countryside about his rural home.
Due to his poor health, Hardy did not start school until he was eight.At 16, Hardy helped his father with architectural drawings and then started to work for architects. Later he moved to London and began writing poems, but his works were rejected by publishers. In 1870, he was sent to work in Cornwall. There he met his future wife Emma Gifford, who encouraged him in his writing.
Hardy published his first novel Desperate Remedies in 1871, to universal disinterest. But the following year Under the Greenwood Tree brought Hardy popular praise for the first time. As with most of his fictional works, this novel incorporated real places around Dorset into the plot, including the village school that Hardy attended.
After Under the Greenwood Tree came a serialized novel A Pair of Blue Eves. Once more Hardy drew upon real life, and the novel mirrors his romance with Emma. This novel finally netted the success that enabled him to give up his architectural practice and concentrate only on writing. Hardy followed this with Far From the Madding Crowd, set in Puddletown, near his birthplace.
The Hardys lived in London for a short time, then in Yeovil, then in Sturminster Newton, which Hardy described as "idyllic（田园诗般的）". It was at Sturminster Newton that he penned The Return of the Native, one of his most enduring（持久的） works.
In 1887, Hardy published The Woodlander, a story concerning an honest woodsman in a small village. Then in 1891 one of his best works, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, came out, which was set primarily in the English countryside during the 19th century.
Tess excited interest, but his next work,Jude the Obscure（1895）, threw Hardy into a storm of controversy（争议）, which made him turn away from fiction and focused on poetry for the rest of his life.
本文讲述了著名文学家托马斯·哈代的生平经历。
1.What do we know about Hardy ( )
C
A.He was into drawing as a young man. B.He got fame at first attempt of writing.
C.His writing career started with poems. D.His wife Emma shared his interest.
【解析】理解具体信息 根据第二段中的"Later he moved to London and began writing poems, but his works were rejected by publishers"可知，哈代搬到伦敦后开始写诗，但他的作品被出版商拒绝了。由此可知，哈代的写作生涯是从诗歌开始的。故选C。
2.What does the underlined word "incorporated" in paragraph 3 mean ( )
A
A.Integrated. B.Changed. C.Developed. D.Forced.
【解析】理解词汇 根据画线词后的"real places around Dorset into the plot, including the village school that Hardy attended"可知，这部小说将多塞特郡周围的真实地方融入情节之中，包括哈代就读的乡村学校，因此画线词incorporated表示"包含，合并"，与动词integrate"（使）合并，成为一体"意义相近。故选A。
3.After which novel was Hardy fully devoted to writing ( )
B
A.Far From the Madding Crowd. B.A Pair of Blue Eyes.
C.Tess of the d'Urbervilles. D.Jude the Obscure.
【解析】理解具体信息 根据第四段"After Under the Greenwood Tree came...This novel finally netted the success that enabled him to give up his architectural practice and concentrate only on writing"可知，哈代写的《一双蓝眼睛》最终为哈代赢得了成功，使他能够放弃建筑实践，只专注于写作。也就是说，在《一双蓝眼睛》后哈代全身心投入到写作当中。故选B。
4.What is the common element in most of Hardy's novels ( )
D
A.Campus life. B.Life in London. C.Marriage life. D.Life in the countryside.
【解析】推断 根据第三段中的"this novel incorporated real places around Dorset into the plot, including the village school that Hardy attended"可知，《绿荫下》这部小说将多塞特郡周围的真实地方融入到情节之中，包括哈代就读的乡村学校；根据第六段"In 1887, Hardy published The Woodlander, a story concerning an honest woodsman in a small village. Then in 1891 one of his best works, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, came out, which was set primarily in the English countryside during the 19th century"可知，1887年，哈代出版了《林居人》，讲述了一个小村庄里一个诚实的樵夫的故事。1891年，他最好的作品之一《德伯家的苔丝》问世了，故事主要发生在19世纪的英国乡村。由此可推知，哈代大部分小说的共同元素是乡村生活。故选D。
Passage 3
话题："家"的感觉 词数：约345 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟[2024重庆七校联考]
[2024重庆七校联考]In casual conversations, there is a seemingly simple question I can never answer without hesitation — "Where are you from "
I could say I am from Thailand, where I was born. Or I am from Mexico, where I spent the majority of my childhood. Or I am from the US, whose language is rooted in my life. In my mind, none of these answers are satisfying enough. After all, to be from somewhere carries expectations of understanding "your" culture and "your" home.
I feel envious whenever my friends say they're "going home" for school breaks. As a student who frequently moves, I have never seen my living space as "home", but "shelter", another location to stay in before I unavoidably move again.
So, does this mean I do not have, and will never have, a home I resign myself to living with this sense of sadness, until very recently.
In my dorm, inside my drawer is a specially designed white bath towel that I have not used since I brought it with me from my parents' house. One day, I took it out, but stopped after smelling the soft, sweet laundry detergent（洗衣粉）, the one my parents used back in Thailand. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness and nostalgia, a strong feeling of missing home. I still avoid using that towel until now because I don't want to replace the smell of nostalgia with my newly-bought detergent.
Sadly, even with this new discovery, I will still struggle when answering where I am from, and I will always feel a sense of loss in not having a physical home to "go back to". Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard（让我猝不及防） with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. And if these moments can make me smile, even with a sense of loss, what better home can I ask for
本文讲述了作者是一个经常搬家的人，所以一直以来对家的概念很模糊。一次偶然的机会，作者拿起一条浴巾，上面的味道唤醒了作者的记忆，使作者想起了过往，让他突然找到了"家"的感觉。
1.Why is the author unable to see his living space as "home" ( )
A
A.His living places often change. B.He is unsatisfied with the place.
C.His expectations of "home" are high. D.He can't understand the culture there.
【解析】理解具体信息 根据第三段中的"As a student who frequently moves, I have never seen my living space as ‘home’, but ‘shelter’, another location to stay in before I unavoidably move again"可知，作者经常搬家，他从来没有把他的生活空间看作是"家"，而是"栖身之地"，这就是他不把住的地方当"家"的主要原因。故选A。
2.Why does the author treasure that towel ( )
C
A.It was made in his hometown. B.It is a present from his parents.
C.Its smell awakened his memories. D.Its design wins his preference.
【解析】推断 根据第五段中的"One day, I took it out, but stopped after smelling the soft...as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness and nostalgia, a strong feeling of missing home"可知，有一天，作者把浴巾拿出来，但在闻到了柔软、甜美的洗衣粉的味道后就停了下来，他的父母在泰国用的就是这种洗衣粉，作者的眼睛湿润了，因为那出乎意料的气味使他复杂的情绪浮现了出来：悲伤和怀旧，一种强烈的思念家的感觉。由此可知，浴巾上面的气味唤醒了作者的记忆，使作者想起了过往。故选C。
3.What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph ( )
D
A.He no longer feels a sense of loss. B.He feels a physical home is unnecessary.
C.He has got the answer to "Where are you from " D.He has found a sense of home in some moments.
【解析】理解具体信息 根据最后一段中的"Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard（让我猝不及防） with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home"可知，在出乎意料的时刻，当一种气味带着它带来的记忆让作者猝不及防时，他愿意相信自己当时的感觉就是人们在家时的感觉。也就是说，在某些瞬间，一些熟悉的味道使作者找到了"家"的感觉。故选D。
4.What can be the best title of the text ( )
C
A.A Man's Home Is His Castle B.There Is No Place like Home
C.The Smell Brings Me Home D.The Emotion Connects Me with Home
【解析】理解主旨要义（标题判断） 通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的"Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me...people feel when they are home"可知，作者是一个经常搬家的人，所以一直以来对家的概念很模糊。一次偶然的机会，作者拿起一条浴巾，上面的味道唤醒了作者的记忆，使作者想起了过往，让他突然找到了"家"的感觉。由此可知，C项"气味把我带回家"最适合作本文的标题。故选C。

Passage 4
话题：发表字谜 词数：约325 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
新考法：谚语入题[2024天星原创]When I moved to northern New Jersey in 2012 and took a software test engineering job in midtown Manhattan, I suddenly found myself with an hour-long bus journey to work. I'd solved newspaper crossword puzzles（纵横字谜） for many years, but I had little patience and wasn't very good. So when I started my crossword again during those long trips, I was determined to become a better solver. However, after noticing all of The New York Times puzzles had bylines（署名行）, I thought, "Why couldn't one of them be mine "
I bought crossword construction software and a dictionary of crossword puzzle entries. I started with a blank 15×15 grid（方格）. After reading, rereading, and more rereading of my puzzle, I decided it was as good as it was ever going to be. So I sent it off to The New York Times and anxiously waited for their response. Several
weeks later, I received an email saying "Thanks, but no thanks." What's worse, I received nearly the same rejection from editor Shortz and his co-workers of the next several puzzles I submitted.
I was definitely down at this point — clearly, I needed help and guidance. So I found my way to the Crossword Puzzle Collaboration Directory. In the group I connected with Mark, an experienced constructor. After making some edits for my 21×21 grid at Mark's suggestion, I sent the puzzle off to The New York Times again. A few months later, I got something new in my inbox: an actual acceptance message! They changed some of the clues to be more straightforward. Anyway, my hard work finally paid off and the puzzle got published.
Now I've made a lot in my spare time. And the lesson I learned from the several weeks is that even if it feels like an impossible task, it's probably not. Very few things in life are truly impossible.
作为一名字谜爱好者，作者通过不断努力终于将自己设计的字谜发表在了《纽约时报》上。

C
A.Contact The New York Times. B.Take advantage of his long trips.
C.Create a crossword of his own. D.Become expert at solving puzzles.
【解析】理解具体信息 根据第一段中的"after noticing ... bylines（署名行）， I thought, ‘Why couldn't one of them be mine ’"及第二段首句可知，看到《纽约时报》上的字谜都有署名行，作者思索着为什么其中一个不能是自己的呢，然后他去购买了字谜创作软件和词典。由此可知，作者打算自己创作一个字谜。故选C。

B
A.He failed to do the 15×15 grid. B.His submissions were turned down.
C.He got no response from Shortz. D.His knowledge of puzzles was poor.
【解析】理解具体信息 各选项分析如下：
A 断章取义——根据第二段中的"I started with a blank 15×15 grid（方格）"可知，作者是从一个空白的 15×15格的字谜开始创作的，而不是未能解开15×15格的字谜。 ×

C 颠倒是非——根据第二段中的"I received an email ...from editor Shortz and his co-workers"可知，作者 得到了Shortz及其同事的回复。 ×
D 答非所问——根据第一段中的"I'd solved... wasn't very good"和第二段中的"I bought crossword construction software and a dictionary of crossword puzzle entries"可知，作者对字谜知识了解确实不 够，但这不是他感到伤心的原因。 ×
3.How did The New York Times find the author's 21×21 grid ( )
A
A.Printable but tricky. B.Outstanding and clear. C.Creative but imperfect. D.Acceptable and fun.
【解析】推断 解题步骤如下：

message!""the puzzle got published"可知，《纽约时报》认为作者的字谜是可以出版的；再结合本段
中的"They changed some of the clues to be more straightforward"可知 ，他们对作者的字谜做了调
整，使其更简单。综上可知，作者的字谜是可以印刷出版但难解的。
③定答案 A项"可以印刷出版但复杂的"；B项"出色且清晰易懂的"；C项"富有创造性但不完美的"；D项"令人满
意且有趣的"。故选A。

到伤心，但并未就此放弃。他开始寻求帮助，继续提交字谜，最终他的字谜被《纽约时报》接受并出
版。由此可知，有志者事竟成。

"。故选C。

Passage 5
话题：赶狮灯 词数：约295 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
新情境：创新精神[2024福建漳州一检]The European Patent Office（EPO）on 4th July 2023 announced that Maasai inventor, Richard Turere, won first place in the Young Inventor Prize at the European Inventor Award 2023.
Turere invented the Lion Lights system at age 11. As a young Maasai boy, Turere was entrusted with the vital responsibility of protecting his family's cattle from predators（捕食者）. He recognised the need for a solution to prevent lions and other predators from attacking livestock（牲畜）, which led him to develop the innovative light system that has since gained global recognition.
Lion population in Africa is estimated to have declined by 43% in the past 20 years. Many lions are killed to stop them from eating precious livestock, significantly impacting the lion population, the area's biodiversity and tourism. Known as Lion Lights, Turere's invention is based on a simple concept: visually reproducing the human presence that keeps lions away. With changing sequences（序列）of flashing lights which are fixed on fences, the lions cannot become comfortable with the patterns and are discouraged from hunting livestock.
As word of Turere's technology and its success spread, other community members began requesting the system for their properties, and now over 2, 000 homes in Kenya use Lion Lights. The system typically runs on solar energy but can also be coupled with wind power when the weather is cloudy or there is little sun.
In 2013, Turere founded the Lion Lights organisation, which now cooperates with more than 50 young people in his native village. Turere's commitment and resourcefulness have attracted international attention. His invention has been adopted in several other countries."I want this story to inspire the young kids so that they can do something too."
"Anyone can make it. Anyone can change this world," says Turere.
本文介绍了马赛发明家Richard Turere发明的创新照明系统——"赶狮灯"获得了2023年欧洲发明家奖青年发明家奖的第一名。
1.What motivates Turere to invent Lion Lights ( )
B
A.To win an award. B.To protect livestock.
C.To maintain lio
