（2024·河南青桐鸣高二下联考）Harris County expands the mobile library program with an addition of the fourth Curiosity Cruiser （巡航车）.Instead of sweet music through a speaker system attached to the roof， the sides of the cruisers are decorated with cartoon images of superheroes.And the vehicles are not filled with frozen treats， but rather a collection of books， electronics and other materials that can help children learn.
“When kids see a cruiser coming into their community， they start running for it，” Melton， the director of the Houston-area library system， said.“They’re excited about it.They’re excited about reading and getting a book they can take home.”
Melton said the Curiosity Cruisers program has distributed （分发） more than 69，000 books to more than 55，000 Houston-area children， focusing on reaching low-income parts of the region where there are no nearby public libraries.Children up to age 18 can take home one book per visit while engaging with other on-site learning materials such as laptops， 3D printers and courses on robotics and other STEM （science， technology， engineering and math） disciplines.
The newest delivery truck， equipped and donated by the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation with financial support from local companies and other charities， will enable the mobile library program to make an additional 12 stops per month.“It is a huge deal，” Melton said of adding a fourth cruiser.“There is a great need for literary services in Harris County.Even with the efforts we’re putting forth， it’s really like a drop in the sea.So the more vehicles we can have， the more impact we can have.”
Julie Finck， the president of the foundation behind， said the idea was to promote reading and STEM skills in communities where there are not libraries， even in schools.
Three out of ten Houston children failed to meet the minimum， end-of-third-grade reading standard in the most recent statewide STAAR test， according to Finck.She also said research shows that if children aren’t reading skilfully by the end of the third grade， they are four times as likely as their peers to end up dropping out of school.
24.Why do kids get excited when they see a Curiosity Cruiser？（ ）
A.They can get a book free of charge. B.They can buy frozen treats from the cruiser.
C.They can borrow some learning materials. D.They can meet their favourite superheroes.
25.What does Melton mean in Paragraph 4？（ ）
A.What they are doing is far from enough. B.The number of library vehicles is sufficient.
C.More support is needed from the government. D.They have donated too much for the vehicles.
26.What is the main goal of the Curiosity Cruisers program？（ ）
A.To raise funds for the poor. B.To bridge the educational gap.
C.To better people’s living standards. D.To build more libraries in Houston.
27.What is the point of improving the end-of-third-graders’ reading skills？（ ）
A.Children can improve their social skills. B.It will develop children’s interest in reading.
C.It will help children prepare for their STEM. D.The dropout rate among children will decrease.

（2024·江苏镇江六校高二下月考）You’ll need to take a deep breath before hearing this news.An astonishing 93% of kids around the world live in environments with air pollution levels that are damaging their health， according to a new report by World Health Organization （WHO）.
Air pollution is to blame for the deaths of 543，000 kids under 5 in 2016，with more than on in four deaths of children under five-year-old being related to environmental problems.Exposure to air pollution can damage the health of kids in a variety of ways， either causing or being associated with everything from low birth weight to childhood obesity （肥胖） and so on.
“The diseases and deaths shown by these new data should result in an urgent call to action for the global community — especially for those concerning health.” WHO stated.“Strong action to reduce exposure to air pollution offers a chance to protect the health of children.” The report stressed that health expert should communicate with families， communities and policy-makers about the serious risks of air pollution exposure.“Although more researches into how air pollution affects children’s health will continue to be valuable， there is already evidence to justify （证明……有理） strong and swift action to prevent the damage it clearly produces，”WHO added.
Disease caused by dirty air is more common in low and middle-income countries， especially those in Africa， Southeast Asia， and Western Pacific.Poor countries in these areas have the highest levels of exposure to household air pollution due to the use of polluting fuels and technologies for basic needs like cooking， heating and lighting.

As an international body charged with the mission of keeping world peace and development， the United Nations cannot operate without financial support from its member countries.And as a firm defender of multilateralism （多边主义） and a beneficiary of globalization， China knows how important it is to safeguard the current world order in which the UN plays an important role.China is aware how important it is that it does its bit to ensure the UN can accomplish its missions， and knows that this is a responsibility it must undertake for the benefit of all.
And Chinese people can take pride in the fact that the country has overtaken Japan to be the second-largest contributor to the UN regular budget.Since how much a country pays to the regular budget of the United Nations is a standard on how powerful the country is， at least financially.It is therefore natural that China’s contribution to the UN budget should rise from 2.05 per cent in 2005 to 15.25 per cent in 2021.That hike is an indicator of what the country has achieved so far.With the country’s further development， there is no doubt that its financial contribution to the UN will continue to rise.China will pay as it should.
However， the more money a country pays， the more responsibility it shoulders and more say it is entitled to enjoy as a major player on the world stage.But the reality is that the rights and international standing China enjoys are still disproportional （不相称的） to what it does for the UN and its contribution to the development of the world economy.As a responsible member of the international community， China is struggling for reform of the UN and the global governance system so they are more effective and representative of the international community as a whole.
Although peace and development remain the themes of the times， uncertainty and instability are on the rise.With this in mind， all countries should make combined efforts to deepen understanding， increase trust and promote cooperation.China is committed to building a community with a shared future for humanity and will continue to work with the UN to realize that vision.
32.What can we learn from the first paragraph？（ ）
A.China is against multilateralism and globalization.
B.The UN needs financial help from its member countries.
C.China doesn’t agree with the UN on keeping the current world order.
D.The UN must undertake the responsibility to ensure China’s benefit.
33.What does the underlined word “hike” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（ ）
A.Walk. B.Rise.
C.Budget. D.Contribution.
34.What can we infer from Paragraph 3？（ ）
A.If a country pays more money， it can take on less responsibility.
B.China’s contribution to world economy equals the rights it enjoys.
C.China is making great efforts to improve the situation of the UN.
D.The global governance system is very satisfying now.
35.What is the main idea of the text？（ ）
A.China is keeping world peace and development instead of the UN.
B.China contributes most to the UN regular budget.
C.China enjoys more say as a great power on the world stage.
D.China is working with the UN in search for common good.

This article is my personal reflection on the benefits I get from reading history books.36.（ ） I also want to encourage others to do more of this enjoyable， rewarding activity！
Satisfy our curiosity.
37.（ ） Given time travel is not an option， if we want to explore the past， one of the best ways is to read a history book.Finding out more about a time or place which you feel a connection to but have little knowledge of can be an exciting experience.
38.（ ）
Reading history books can help people develop a sense of their place in the world.This is often the case with national history， bringing people together through a shared experience.Identity is much more than just which country you live in， and reading about history which is relevant to your life can help you build a stronger sense of self and feel confident in who you are.
Appreciate how things change.
I think that reading history — changes in the past — can help you better understand changes that are happening now or what might contribute to change in the future.39.（ ） When Julius Caesar was in his early 30s， he burst into tears on realising that while Alexander the Great had conquered the known world by 32， he himself had achieved nothing.So he dried his eyes， picked himself up， and went on to destroy the Roman Republic.
Develop our sense of truth.
Even in the best cases， history books are influenced by the circumstances of the author， and sometimes they can be highly biased （存在偏见的）.40.（ ） History books naturally encourage us to ask questions like：how might the perspective of the author influence his story？By reading a range of history books， we can become more critical readers who don’t just accept what we are told.
A.Develop a stronger sense of identity.
B.Understand the range of human experience.
C.Let’s turn to a famous example from history.
D.Exploration is an essential part of human nature.
E.One of my aims in writing it is to sort out my thoughts.
F.This is most obvious when we read two different versions of the same thing.
G.This can inspire us to think about better ways of organising our own society.

It was a dull， cold and cloudy Monday morning.I had planned to take a journey and visit my grandfather who lived in Tennessee.As I set out on my journey and boarded the bus whose final destination was Tennessee， joy was written all over my face.It had been quite a long time since I last visited the countryside.Though the road leading to Tennessee was rocky， the journey was interesting and fantastic.I enjoyed myself so much since I was able to take pictures of wild animals like giraffe and antelopes （羚羊） along the way.
After about five hours’ drive， we were finally at Tennessee.I carried my luggage and followed the other passengers.However， I realized that there were many people at the bus station who had come to meet their relatives.My grandfather had informed me that there was no need for anyone to come for me as I would easily find my way to his home.
I tried to talk to a few people to ask about the road leading to my grandfather’s home， but unfortunately， we couldn’t understand each other because of the language barrier.I had to make signs， pointing towards the direction where my grandfather lived to see if they could help me.However， the people I asked seemed not to understand me very well， and ended up giving me mixed directions.I felt so desperate because it was already getting late.What’s worse， the countryside had network problems， so I could not reach my grandfather over the phone.I had no option but to look for a suitable place of shelter for the night.I carefully walked through the bushes， along the road and found a tree that had a lot of thick bushes around it.I felt that this was a nice place for me to hide for the night before daybreak.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

Luckily enough， before I could close my eyes， I heard the sound of a vehicle in the distance.

语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了中国在维护联合国及当今世界秩序中所发挥的重要作用，并且中国将继续致力于构建人类命运共同体，与联合国一起为实现这一愿景而继续努力。
32.B 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，作为一个肩负着维护世界和平与发展使命的国际机构，如果没有各个成员国的财政支持，联合国无法运行。
33.B 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的It is therefore natural that China’s contribution to the UN budget should rise from 2.05 per cent in 2005 to 15.25 per cent in 2021.可知，中国对联合国预算的贡献率从2005年的2.05%上升到2021年的15.25%是自然的。所以第二段的hike一词与rise意思相近，表示“上升”。
34.C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知，作为国际社会中负责任的一个成员国，中国正在为联合国的改革和全球治理体系而奋斗，使之更具效力，更能代表整个国际社会。由此可以推出，中国正在努力改善联合国的状况。
35.D 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是最后两段可知，文章阐述了中国在维护联合国及当今世界秩序中所发挥的重要作用，并且中国将继续致力于构建人类命运共同体，与联合国一起为实现这一愿景而继续努力。所以本文的主旨是中国正与联合国合作，寻求共同的利益。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阅读历史书籍的几个益处。
36.E 设空处前一句说明作者在本文中介绍了阅读历史书籍给他带来的益处，设空处后一句表明了作者也想鼓励其他人加入这项令人愉快的、有益的活动。E项（我写它的目的之一是理清我的思路）符合语境。E项中的One of my aims与设空处后一句中的I also want to相呼应。E项中的it指代上文中的This article。
37.D 设空处位于段首，一般是对该段内容进行概括说明。该段小标题是“满足我们的好奇心”；设空处下文指出，要想探索过去，最好的方法就是阅读历史书籍。D项（探索是人性的重要组成部分）符合语境。D项中的Exploration与设空处后的explore相呼应。
38.A 设空处为段落小标题。通读设空处下面一段可知，阅读历史书籍可以帮助人们了解自己在这个世界中的位置。本国历史通常能起到这样的作用，它通过相同的经历把人们联系在一起。身份认同不仅仅意味着你居住在哪个国
家。阅读与自己有关的历史能帮你建立更强烈的自我意识，还能帮你对自己的身份充满信心。A项（建立更强的身份认同感）可概括本段内容，与该段中的build a stronger sense of self相呼应。A项中的identity与该段中的Identity构成原词复现。
39.C 设空处前一句指出，作者认为阅读历史可以帮你更好地理解正在发生的变化，也可能会帮你了解导致未来变化的因素；设空处下文讲述了凯撒大帝的历史故事。C项（让我们以一个著名的史实为例）引出下文，符合语境。
40.F 根据设空处前一句可知，即使是在最好的情况下，历史书也会受到作者所处环境的影响，有时这些书中可能还会存在巨大的偏见。F项（当我们阅读关于同一事件的两个不同版本时，这一点最为明显）紧承上文，符合语境。F项中的This指代设空处前的内容。
第三部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。战争是残酷的，但是战场上的交战双方有时候又体现出人性中善良的一面。本文讲述了在第一次世界大战战场上发生的一个感人故事。
41.D 根据下文中的by war可知，此处表示美丽的雪景被硝烟笼罩，雪景是白色的，用变黑表示战争破坏了美丽的雪景。
42.B 此处表示一边的战壕里有德军。动词hold在此处表示“容纳”。
43.A 这里表示双方交火，战况激烈。exchange of gunshots表示“双方互相开枪射击”。
44.A 根据常识可知，此处表示双方都试图征服他们的对手。
45.C 根据上文中的A young German soldier trying to cross that no-man’s land had been shot可知，这个德国士兵被击中，因此推断他被困在了带刺铁丝网中。be caught in表示“被困在某处”。
46.D 此处表示他因痛苦持续哀号。根据上文中的He cried out in despair可知，受伤被困的士兵对自己的境地感到绝望，同时也因为疼痛而喊叫。
47.A 此处表示枪林弹雨间，那个区域所有的美国士兵都能听到这个德国士兵在哀号。
48.A 根据下文中的he crawled out of the trench and to that German soldier 可知，听见这个德国士兵在那里绝望又痛苦地大声喊叫，这个美国士兵再也受不了了，爬出战壕朝德国士兵移动。
49.C 此处表示当美国士兵意识到他在做什么时，他们停止了射击，然后，德国士兵也停止了射击。
50.D 根据上文中的they stopped firing， and then， so did the Germans可知，这个美国士兵要去救受伤被困的德国士兵，大家都停止了射击，此刻战场上一片寂静。
51.B 根据上文中的On his stomach可推断，美国士兵是在地上匍匐前进。
52.A 上文说德国士兵被困在带刺铁丝网中，由此推断这里表示美国士兵把他从中解救出来。
53.D 此处表示他搀着那个德国士兵站起来径直走向德国战壕并将他放在他战友等待的臂弯中。
54.A 根据下文中的there was a hand on his shoulder that spun （使急转身） him around可知，当这个美国士兵做完了这一切准备回到自己的战壕时，突然感觉到肩上有一只手使他转过身。
55.B 此处表示当他安全回到战壕后，他们重新开始了战斗。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国制造的大型卫星天线让非洲一些偏远地区与世界有了更广泛的联系。
56.connecting 考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语为owns，空处应用所给动词的非谓语形式，satellite dish与connect是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用动词-ing形式作定语。故填connecting。
57.which 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是channels，指物，从句中缺少of的宾语。故填which。
58.the 考查冠词。根据第二段中的a large Chinese-built satellite dish可知，空处表特指。故填the。
59.happens/is happening 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处所在的句子是一个宾语从句，且空处是谓语部分，主句是you can know，从句与主句时态应一致，空处用一般现在时，填happens；根据从句中的时间状语now可知，空处也可用现在进行时，根据主谓一致，填is happening。故填happens/is happening。
60.wider 考查形容词的比较级。根据上文对中国制造的卫星天线连接到很多频道的细节描述可知，更多的频道会产生更广阔的世界联系，此处应用形容词的比较级。故填wider。
61.with 考查固定搭配。with the aim of意为“以……为目的；旨在；带有……目的”。故填with。
62.Previously 考查副词。空处所在的部分是句子的状语，应用副词。句首单词首字母要大写，故填Previously。
63.relied 考查动词的时态。空处为句子的谓语。根据who were connected的时态可知，此处也用一般过去时。故填relied。
64.Improving/To improve 考查非谓语动词。空处所在的部分是句子的主语，应用所给动词的非谓语形式。表示泛指或一般的抽象概念时，多用动词-ing形式；动词不定式作主语常表示具体的某一动作。根据语境可知，此处既可以理解为泛指“提升”这一动作，也可以理解为“提升”这一具体动作。故填Improving/To improve。
65.variety 考查词形转换。a variety of意为“各种；多种；各类”，此处指“各种频道”。故填variety。
第四部分
第一节
I’ve read some biographies of war heroes such as Liu Hulan， Dong Cunrui， Huang Jiguang and so on.I am deeply moved by their stories.I think their personalities will benefit me.
A common personality the heroes had was their patriotism.They would rather sacrifice their lives to defend our motherland than give in to enemy.Inspired by them， as a student， I’m trying to do my part for my school， neighbourhood and the city I live in， preparing for my future career as a soldier.I am determined to devote myself to China from now on.
第二节
Luckily enough， before I could close my eyes，I heard the sound of a vehicle in the distance.I quickly ran out of the bushes， shouting and waving at the car to slow down.What a relief it was to me when the driver politely responded to my call and slowed down at the place where I was standing.The vehicle had two people inside who were very old， a man and a woman almost the same age as my grandfather.They introduced themselves and I did the same.
The couple told me that day they were on their way back home from their son’s wedding.I told them my dilemma， giving every inch of the misfortune that I had undergone so that they could help me out.The couple were moved by my story， and they couldn’t hesitate to offer help.The following day， they drove me up to my grandfather’s home which was only a few kilometers away， and I was so happy to reunite with my grandfather.My grandfather thanked my rescuers warmly for helping me out of the bushes.

War and love should never be mixed together， but when it does，
some stories are made during its experience.Here are some books about
love stories which are set in wartime.
War Bonds by Cindy Hval
The idea to write this book was suggested to the author by her
husband.It’s a compilation （汇编） of love stories that took place
during the war when men and women who made lifelong commitments
without knowing what the future would bring.Each story shares a lesson to
inspire every heart.
Eve of a Hundred Midnights by Bill Lascher
Bill Lascher had always wanted to be a reporter， and soon
discovered his cousin had lived the life he dreamed of living.A month after
his grandmother gifted him with his cousin’s typewriter used during
World War Ⅱ， he slowly uncovered the story told in this book.
Just as World War Ⅱ broke out， Melville and Annalee Jacoby， both
war reporters， were faced with a life-and-death decision.Having been
married for just a month， the couple had to run for their lives to escape
being caught by their enemy.
GI Brides： The Wartime Girls Who Crossed the Atlantic for Love
by Duncan Barrett and Nuala Calvi
This book tells the stories from the women in England who married
American soldiers.Each GI Bride has her own unique hopes and fears
during a time of war when their ever happy dreams are redefined （重新定
义） by war， cultural differences， countries， and an uncertain future.
Love Stories of World War Ⅱ by Larry King
Each love story in this book is unique in its own way， but they all
share a common topic： love overcomes all.Each couple interviewed
shares how they met，how they fell in love，the difficulties they faced
and how their love grew stronger leading to marriages that lasted a
lifetime.

（2024·河南青桐鸣高二下联考）Harris County expands the mobile
library program with an addition of the fourth Curiosity Cruiser （巡航
车）.Instead of sweet music through a speaker system attached to the
roof， the sides of the cruisers are decorated with cartoon images of
superheroes.And the vehicles are not filled with frozen treats， but rather
a collection of books， electronics and other materials that can help
children learn.
“When kids see a cruiser coming into their community， they start
running for it，” Melton， the director of the Houston-area library
system， said.“They’re excited about it.They’re excited about
reading and getting a book they can take home.”
Melton said the Curiosity Cruisers program has distributed （分发）
more than 69，000 books to more than 55，000 Houston-area children，
focusing on reaching low-income parts of the region where there are no
nearby public libraries.Children up to age 18 can take home one book per
visit while engaging with other on-site learning materials such as laptops，
3D printers and courses on robotics and other STEM （science，
technology， engineering and math） disciplines.
The newest delivery truck， equipped and donated by the Barbara
Bush Houston Literacy Foundation with financial support from local
companies and other charities， will enable the mobile library program to
make an additional 12 stops per month.“It is a huge deal，” Melton
said of adding a fourth cruiser.“There is a great need for literary services
in Harris County.Even with the efforts we’re putting forth， it’s really
like a drop in the sea.So the more vehicles we can have， the more impact
we can have.”
Julie Finck， the president of the foundation behind， said the idea
was to promote reading and STEM skills in communities where there are
not libraries， even in schools.
Three out of ten Houston children failed to meet the minimum， end-
of-third-grade reading standard in the most recent statewide STAAR test，
according to Finck.She also said research shows that if children aren’t
reading skilfully by the end of the third grade， they are four times as
likely as their peers to end up dropping out of school.

A. They can get a book free of charge.
B. They can buy frozen treats from the cruiser.

是因为他们能免费获得一本书。
25. What does Melton mean in Paragraph 4？（ ）
A. What they are doing is far from enough.

水车薪。由此可推断出，Melton认为他们现在做得还远远不能满
足社区的需求。
26. What is the main goal of the Curiosity Cruisers program？（ ）
A. To raise funds for the poor.
B. To bridge the educational gap.
C. To better people’s living standards.
D. To build more libraries in Houston.

车”项目在没有图书馆的社区，甚至是学校推广阅读和STEM技
能。由此可推断出，该项目旨在填补不同地区间的教育差距。
27. What is the point of improving the end-of-third-graders’ reading
skills？（ ）
A. Children can improve their social skills.
B. It will develop children’s interest in reading.
C. It will help children prepare for their STEM.
D. The dropout rate among children will decrease.
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，如果孩子

性是同龄人的四倍。由此可推断出，提高三年级学生阅读能力的
意义在于降低儿童辍学率。

（2024·江苏镇江六校高二下月考）You’ll need to take a deep
breath before hearing this news.An astonishing 93% of kids around the
world live in environments with air pollution levels that are damaging their
health， according to a new report by World Health Organization
（WHO）.
Air pollution is to blame for the deaths of 543，000 kids under 5 in
2016，with more than on in four deaths of children under five-year-old
being related to environmental problems.Exposure to air pollution can
damage the health of kids in a variety of ways， either causing or being
associated with everything from low birth weight to childhood obesity
（肥胖） and so on.
“The diseases and deaths shown by these new data should result in
an urgent call to action for the global community — especially for those
concerning health.” WHO stated.“Strong action to reduce exposure to
air pollution offers a chance to protect the health of children.” The report
stressed that health expert should communicate with families，
communities and policy-makers about the serious risks of air pollution
exposure.“Although more researches into how air pollution affects
children’s health will continue to be valuable， there is already evidence
to justify （证明……有理） strong and swift action to prevent the
damage it clearly produces，”WHO added.
Disease caused by dirty air is more common in low and middle-
income countries， especially those in Africa， Southeast Asia， and
Western Pacific.Poor countries in these areas have the highest levels of
exposure to household air pollution due to the use of polluting fuels and
technologies for basic needs like cooking， heating and lighting.
Advised approaches to dealing with air pollution include cleaner
transport， cleaner cooking and heating fuels and technologies， energy-
efficient housing and urban planning， safer industrial technologies and
better waste management.

As an international body charged with the mission of keeping world
peace and development， the United Nations cannot operate without
financial support from its member countries.And as a firm defender of
multilateralism （多边主义） and a beneficiary of globalization， China
knows how important it is to safeguard the current world order in which
the UN plays an important role.China is aware how important it is that it
does its bit to ensure the UN can accomplish its missions， and knows that
this is a responsibility it must undertake for the benefit of all.
And Chinese people can take pride in the fact that the country has
overtaken Japan to be the second-largest contributor to the UN regular
budget.Since how much a country pays to the regular budget of the United
Nations is a standard on how powerful the country is， at least
financially.It is therefore natural that China’s contribution to the UN
budget should rise from 2.05 per cent in 2005 to 15.25 per cent in
2021.That hike is an indicator of what the country has achieved so
far.With the country’s further development， there is no doubt that its
financial contribution to the UN will continue to rise.China will pay as it
should.
However， the more money a country pays， the more responsibility
it shoulders and more say it is entitled to enjoy as a major player on the
world stage.But the reality is that the rights and international standing
China enjoys are still disproportional （不相称的） to what it does for the
UN and its contribution to the development of the world economy.As a
responsible member of the international community， China is struggling
for reform of the UN and the global governance system so they are more
effective and representative of the international community as a whole.
Although peace and development remain the themes of the times，
uncertainty and instability are on the rise.With this in mind， all countries
should make combined efforts to deepen understanding， increase trust
and promote cooperation.China is committed to building a community
with a shared future for humanity and will continue to work with the UN to
realize that vision.

今世界秩序中所发挥的重要作用，并且中国将继续致力于构建人类
命运共同体，与联合国一起为实现这一愿景而继续努力。
32. What can we learn from the first paragraph？（ ）
A. China is against multilateralism and globalization.
B. The UN needs financial help from its member countries.
C. China doesn’t agree with the UN on keeping the current world order.
D. The UN must undertake the responsibility to ensure China’s benefit.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，作为一个肩负着
维护世界和平与发展使命的国际机构，如果没有各个成员国的财
政支持，联合国无法运行。
33. What does the underlined word “hike” in Paragraph 2 probably
mean？（ ）
A. Walk. B. Rise.
C. Budget. D. Contribution.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的It is therefore natural that
China’s contribution to the UN budget should rise from 2.05 per
cent in 2005 to 15.25 per cent in 2021.可知，中国对联合国预算的
贡献率从2005年的2.05%上升到2021年的15.25%是自然的。所以
第二段的hike一词与rise意思相近，表示“上升”。
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 3？（ ）
A. If a country pays more money， it can take on less responsibility.
B. China’s contribution to world economy equals the rights it enjoys.
C. China is making great efforts to improve the situation of the UN.
D. The global governance system is very satisfying now.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知，作为国际社
会中负责任的一个成员国，中国正在为联合国的改革和全球治理
体系而奋斗，使之更具效力，更能代表整个国际社会。由此可以
推出，中国正在努力改善联合国的状况。
35. What is the main idea of the text？（ ）
A. China is keeping world peace and development instead of the UN.
B. China contributes most to the UN regular budget.
C. China enjoys more say as a great power on the world stage.
D. China is working with the UN in search for common good.
解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是最后两段可知，文章阐
述了中国在维护联合国及当今世界秩序中所发挥的重要作用，并
且中国将继续致力于构建人类命运共同体，与联合国一起为实现
这一愿景而继续努力。所以本文的主旨是中国正与联合国合作，
寻求共同的利益。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选
项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
This article is my personal reflection on the benefits I get from
reading history books.36.（ ） I also want to encourage others to do
more of this enjoyable， rewarding activity！
Satisfy our curiosity.
37. （ ） Given time travel is not an option， if we want to explore
the past， one of the best ways is to read a history book.Finding out
more about a time or place which you feel a connection to but have
little knowledge of can be an exciting experience.
38. （ ）
Reading history books can help people develop a sense of their
place in the world.This is often the case with national history，
bringing people together through a shared experience.Identity is much
more than just which country you live in， and reading about history
which is relevant to your life can help you build a stronger sense of
self and feel confident in who you are.
Appreciate how things change.
I think that reading history — changes in the past — can help you
better understand changes that are happening now or what might
contribute to change in the future.39.（ ） When Julius Caesar
was in his early 30s， he burst into tears on realising that while
Alexander the Great had conquered the known world by 32， he
himself had achieved nothing.So he dried his eyes， picked himself
up， and went on to destroy the Roman Republic.
Develop our sense of truth.
Even in the best cases， history books are influenced by the
circumstances of the author， and sometimes they can be highly
biased （存在偏见的）.40.（ ） History books naturally
encourage us to ask questions like：how might the perspective of the
author influence his story？By reading a range of history books， we
can become more critical readers who don’t just accept what we are
told.
A. Develop a stronger sense of identity.
B. Understand the range of human experience.
C. Let’s turn to a famous example from history.
D. Exploration is an essential part of human nature.
E. One of my aims in writing it is to sort out my thoughts.
F. This is most obvious when we read two different versions of the
same thing.
G. This can inspire us to think about better ways of organising our
own society.

处。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阅读历史书籍的几个益
处。
36. E 设空处前一句说明作者在本文中介绍了阅读历史书籍给他
带来的益处，设空处后一句表明了作者也想鼓励其他人加入这项
令人愉快的、有益的活动。E项（我写它的目的之一是理清我的
思路）符合语境。E项中的One of my aims与设空处后一句中的I
also want to相呼应。E项中的it指代上文中的This article。
37. D 设空处位于段首，一般是对该段内容进行概括说明。
该段小标题是“满足我们的好奇心”；设空处下文指出，要想
探索过去，最好的方法就是阅读历史书籍。D项（探索是人性
的重要组成部分）符合语境。D项中的Exploration与设空处后
的explore相呼应。
38. A 设空处为段落小标题。通读设空处下面一段可知，阅读历
史书籍可以帮助人们了解自己在这个世界中的位置。本国历史通
常能起到这样的作用，它通过相同的经历把人们联系在一起。身
份认同不仅仅意味着你居住在哪个国家。阅读与自己有关的历史
能帮你建立更强烈的自我意识，还能帮你对自己的身份充满信
心。A项（建立更强的身份认同感）可概括本段内容，与该段中
的build a stronger sense of self相呼应。A项中的identity与该段中的
Identity构成原词复现。
39. C 设空处前一句指出，作者认为阅读历史可以帮你更好地理
解正在发生的变化，也可能会帮你了解导致未来变化的因素；设
空处下文讲述了凯撒大帝的历史故事。C项（让我们以一个著名
的史实为例）引出下文，符合语境。
40. F 根据设空处前一句可知，即使是在最好的情况下，历史书
也会受到作者所处环境的影响，有时这些书中可能还会存在巨大
的偏见。F项（当我们阅读关于同一事件的两个不同版本时，这一
点最为明显）紧承上文，符合语境。F项中的This指代设空处前的
内容。

It was a dull， cold and cloudy Monday morning.I had planned to
take a journey and visit my grandfather who lived in Tennessee.As I set
out on my journey and boarded the bus whose final destination was
Tennessee， joy was written all over my face.It had been quite a long time
since I last visited the countryside.Though the road leading to Tennessee
was rocky， the journey was interesting and fantastic.I enjoyed myself so
much since I was able to take pictures of wild animals like giraffe and
antelopes （羚羊） along the way.
After about five hours’ drive， we were finally at Tennessee.I
carried my luggage and followed the other passengers.However， I
realized that there were many people at the bus station who had come to
meet their relatives.My grandfather had informed me that there was no
need for anyone to come for me as I would easily find my way to his
home.
I tried to talk to a few people to ask about the road leading to my
grandfather’s home， but unfortunately， we couldn’t understand each
other because of the language barrier.I had to make signs， pointing
towards the direction where my grandfather lived to see if they could help
me.However， the people I asked seemed not to understand me very
well， and ended up giving me mixed directions.I felt so desperate
because it was already getting late.What’s worse， the countryside had
network problems， so I could not reach my grandfather over the phone.I
had no option but to look for a suitable place of shelter for the night.I
carefully walked through the bushes， along the road and found a tree that
had a lot of thick bushes around it.I felt that this was a nice place for me to
hide for the night before daybreak.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Luckily enough， before I could close my eyes， I heard the
sound of a vehicle in the distance.
The couple told me that day they were on their way back home
from their son’s wedding.
参考范文：
Luckily enough， before I could close my eyes，I heard the sound of
a vehicle in the distance.I quickly ran out of the bushes， shouting and
waving at the car to slow down.What a relief it was to me when the driver
politely responded to my call and slowed down at the place where I was
standing.The vehicle had two people inside who were very old， a man
and a woman almost the same age as my grandfather.They introduced
themselves and I did the same.
The couple told me that day they were on their way back home from
their son’s wedding.I told them my dilemma， giving every inch of the
misfortune that I had undergone so that they could help me out.The couple
were moved by my story， and they couldn’t hesitate to offer help.The
following day， they drove me up to my grandfather’s home which was
only a few kilometers away， and I was so happy to reunite with my
grandfather.My grandfather thanked my rescuers warmly for helping me
out of the bushes.
谢谢观看！
