Carol-Anne O’Callaghan，a former teacher from Great Missenden，Buckinghamshire，has fought hard to protect ancient oaks near her home，which she says are home to rare bats.
In February 2021，O’Callaghan was walking her dogs when she spotted yellow dots stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a narrow country lane close to her home.The dots indicated trees marked for destruction.After she learned the trees would be felled as part of the HS2 high-speed railway works，she called the HS2 helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done as an over-road would be built.She gets choked up remembering the moment she realized many of them were to be cut down.
O’Callaghan loves that ancient line of oaks.They were planted in the 19th century.“My family and I would picnic under them，” she says，“climb them，have rope swings on them.The trees are amazing and beautiful and mean so much to us.” One of the last photos of her mother，taken shortly before she died，was of her sitting in a swing in their branches.
She noticed that on the other side of the lane，to the north，there were no ancient oaks.So she began campaigning to save the trees.With the help of her daughter，Blaize，she started a petition(请愿书)，which went on to get nearly 43,000 signatures.“I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one，someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large，daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing，” says her neighbour Victoria.
Buckinghamshire Council has got involved，and the felling is paused.A final decision has yet to be made about the proposed over-road.“We’re optimistic that they’ll hear our argument and take the ecology of the lane into account，” says O’Callaghan.“We want them to put in a green crossing in the gaps between trees，for the bats，and we’d like the place to become a conservation area.For the trees and the bats—this is what we are fighting for！”
24．What did the yellow dots on the oaks indicate
A．These oaks would be cut down.
B．The narrow lane would be widened.
C．Rare bats would get protected.
D．A railway station would be built.
25．Why does O’Callaghan have deep feelings for the oaks
A．Due to the oaks’ long history.
B．Due to the natural beauty.
C．Due to the precious memories.
D．Due to the diverse wildlife.
26．What kind of person is O’Callaghan
A．Creative. B．Humorous.
C．Generous. D．Brave.
27．What is a direct result of O’Callaghan’s efforts
A．The ecology is being improved.

C．The Council canceled the proposal.
D．The area becomes a reserve.

More than 3/4 of the Southeast Asia population is agriculture-based.Twice as much fish is consumed in this area compared to other forms of animal protein，reflecting the long coastlines and river environments of Southeast Asia.The staple food(主粮) throughout the area is rice，which has been planted for thousands of years.Rice serves as the basic staple food for more than half of the world’s population today.
In Asia，there are different styles of eating food.In India and the Middle East，as well as Southeast Asia，people eat food with their hands.It is a very direct way to experience the texture(口感) of the food，and people normally wash their hands before and after each meal.Normally，only the right hand is used，so that one knows to keep it especially clean.Generally，the foods to be eaten are placed on plates in the center of the mat or table，and people take food in small portions(一份) as they eat.
The exception to this pattern is Vietnam，where the influence of China was much stronger than anywhere else in Southeast Asia.Here，each person has chopsticks，and food is served and divided among people onto individual plates or into individual bowls.A similar pattern is found in other Asian countries where Chinese influence was especially strong，e.g.Japan，Korea and so on.
The influence of Western cultures is found not only in the use of tables and chairs in many modern Southeast Asian households，but also in the use of spoons and forks.Knives are not necessary，since meat and vegetables are cut into smaller portions before cooking or serving.A large spoon is held in the right hand，while the left hand is used to shovel food into the spoon.
28．What can be known from the first two paragraphs
A．Most of the Asians live in the cities.
B．Most people eat food with their hands throughout Asia.
C．Rice serves as the non-staple food in most areas in Southeast.
D．Southeast Asians eat more fish than other forms of animal protein.
29．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The food.
B．The right hand.
C．The meal.
D．The texture of the food.
30．In what aspect is Vietnam an exception
A．People there eat with their hands.
B．People take food from plates with chopsticks.
C．Food is served and shared into a large plate or bowl.
D．Japanese influence is seen more than Chinese influence.
31．What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph
A．Changes caused by Western cultures.
B．The adoption of metal eating tools.
C．The introduction of seating furniture.
D．Food culture in Western countries.

Is boredom a thing of the past，like black-and-white television And，if so，is that a good thing Julie Robinson，a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools，thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children，and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective.
“We should not fear boredom，” said Julie Robinson.“Boredom is valuable to children.Quiet，reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity，” she added.
Her opinion is that constant activity for a child，often the result of the dreams of parents，will lead to concerned and worrying adult.The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination.So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed.
Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored.They seek an electronic device to play games at once.And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet？” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom.So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander
But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection.Adults need that，too.On my train journey to work this morning，I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device.No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the countryside.Not time for quiet thinking，even in the quiet library.There were emails to send，texts to read，and games to play.The wider world，seemingly，didn’t exist.The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives，and has developed an inability—among adults as well as children—to live in the present.What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon: the fear of “inactivity”．And she is right.
32．According to Julie Robinson，why is boredom considered beneficial to children
A．It enhances children’s ability to learn knowledge.
B．It helps children find effective solutions to social problems.
C．It allows children to have time to think and develop their imagination.
D．It enables children to communicate more with their parents and friends.
33．What’s the author’s attitude towards the action of parents in paragraph 4
A．Negative. B．Positive.
C．Neutral. D．Unconcerned.
34．What did the author intend to show by mentioning the train journey
A．People had too much work to do.
B．The trip on a quiet train was very boring.
C．The view of the countryside was beautiful.
D．Electronic devices influence people’s life greatly.
35．Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph
A．Sending emails on a train.
B．Playing games with friends.
C．Planning constant activity for children.
D．Looking out of the window at the beautiful views.

Get Through the Freezing Winter
Minor Cold，or “Xiaohan” in Chinese，is the 23rd of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar. 36 We’ve outlined below how people deal with the Minor Cold and its significance in Chinese culture.

For Chinese people，this time of year also sees preparation for the most important festival of the year：the Spring Festival. 39 In the old days，Chinese families would usually start to purchase the necessities for the Spring Festival，write couplets and make paper cuts by themselves.
Forecasts from animals
The ancient Chinese noticed the slight changes in seasons by observing the movements of the birds.Wild geese would usually start to fly back to the north while the magpies(喜鹊) make their nests.These animals remind people of the beginning of the suitable farming and life for Minor Cold. 40 Therefore，more attention should be paid to domestic animals’ warmth.

(2024·山东高二上联考)
Carol-Anne O’Callaghan，a former teacher from Great Missenden，Buckinghamshire，has fought hard to protect ancient oaks near her home，which she says are home to rare bats.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了白金汉郡的Carol Anne O'Callaghan为保护家附近的古橡树和橡树上的稀有蝙蝠而努力奔走，最终白金汉郡议会涉入此事，砍伐行动被暂停了。
In February 2021，O’Callaghan was walking her dogs when she spotted yellow dots stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a narrow country lane close to her home.The dots indicated trees marked for destruction.After she learned the trees would be felled as part of the HS2 high-speed railway works，she called the HS2 helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done as an over-road would be built.She gets choked up remembering the moment she realized many of them were to be cut down.
O’Callaghan loves that ancient line of oaks.They were planted in the 19th century.“My family and I would picnic under them，” she says，“climb them，have rope swings on them.The trees are amazing and beautiful and mean so much to us.” One of the last photos of her mother，taken shortly before she died，was of her sitting in a swing in their branches.
She noticed that on the other side of the lane，to the north，there were no ancient oaks.So she began campaigning to save the trees.With the help of her daughter，Blaize，she started a petition(请愿书)，which went on to get nearly 43,000 signatures.“I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one，someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large，daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing，” says her neighbour Victoria.
Buckinghamshire Council has got involved，and the felling is paused.A final decision has yet to be made about the proposed over-road.“We’re optimistic that they’ll hear our argument and take the ecology of the lane into account，” says O’Callaghan.“We want them to put in a green crossing in the gaps between trees，for the bats，and we’d like the place to become a conservation area.For the trees and the bats—this is what we are fighting for！”
24.What did the yellow dots on the oaks indicate
A.These oaks would be cut down.
B.The narrow lane would be widened.
C.Rare bats would get protected.
D.A railway station would be built.
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The dots indicated trees marked for destruction.After she learned the trees would be felled...”可知，橡树上的黄色圆点表示这些橡树将被砍伐。故选A。
解析
√
25.Why does O’Callaghan have deep feelings for the oaks
A.Due to the oaks’ long history.
B.Due to the natural beauty.
C.Due to the precious memories.
D.Due to the diverse wildlife.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘My family and I would picnic under them，’she says，’climb them，have rope swings on them.The trees are amazing and beautiful and mean so much to us.’One of the last photos of her mother，taken shortly before she died，was of her sitting in a swing in their branches.”可知，O’Callaghan一家人在树下野餐、在树上攀爬、荡秋千，而且她有一张照片就是她母亲去世前坐在秋千上拍摄的。由此可推测出，O’Callaghan有许多与橡树有关的珍贵回忆，所以她对这些橡树有深刻的感情。故选C。
解析
26.What kind of person is O’Callaghan
A.Creative. B.Humorous.
C.Generous. D.Brave.
√
推理判断题。根据第四段中邻居Victoria的话“I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one，someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large，daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing”可知，邻居认为O’Callaghan敢于发声、敢于质疑和指责有错误的大企业，由此可推测出，她是一个勇敢无畏的人。故选D。
解析
27.What is a direct result of O’Callaghan’s efforts
A.The ecology is being improved.
B.The felling has been put off.
C.The Council canceled the proposal.
D.The area becomes a reserve.
√

(2024·湖北荆州高二上期末)
More than 3/4 of the Southeast Asia population is agriculture-based.Twice as much fish is consumed in this area compared to other forms of animal protein，reflecting the long coastlines and river environments of Southeast Asia.The staple food(主粮) throughout the area is rice，which has been planted for thousands of years.Rice serves as the basic staple food for more than half of the world’s population today.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是东南亚国家的饮食文化。
In Asia，there are different styles of eating food.In India and the Middle East，as well as Southeast Asia，people eat food with their hands.It is a very direct way to experience the texture(口感) of the food，and people normally wash their hands before and after each meal.Normally，only the right hand is used，so that one knows to keep it especially clean.Generally，the foods to be eaten are placed on plates in the center of the mat or table，and people take food in small portions(一份) as they eat.
The exception to this pattern is Vietnam，where the influence of China was much stronger than anywhere else in Southeast Asia.Here，each person has chopsticks，and food is served and divided among people onto individual plates or into individual bowls.A similar pattern is found in other Asian countries where Chinese influence was especially strong，e.g.Japan，Korea and so on.
The influence of Western cultures is found not only in the use of tables and chairs in many modern Southeast Asian households，but also in the use of spoons and forks.Knives are not necessary，since meat and vegetables are cut into smaller portions before cooking or serving.A large spoon is held in the right hand，while the left hand is used to shovel food into the spoon.
28.What can be known from the first two paragraphs
A.Most of the Asians live in the cities.
B.Most people eat food with their hands throughout Asia.
C.Rice serves as the non-staple food in most areas in Southeast.
D.Southeast Asians eat more fish than other forms of animal protein.
√
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Twice as much fish is consumed in this area compared to other forms of animal protein，reflecting the long coastlines and river environments of Southeast Asia.”可知，相对于其他形式的动物蛋白质，东南亚人吃更多的鱼。故选D。
解析
29.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.The food.
B.The right hand.
C.The meal.
D.The texture of the food.
√
代词指代题。根据画线词前面的内容“Normally，only the right hand is used”可知，通常情况下，只使用右手，故保持右手是干净的。故画线词指代前文的“右手”。故选B。
解析
30.In what aspect is Vietnam an exception
A.People there eat with their hands.
B.People take food from plates with chopsticks.
C.Food is served and shared into a large plate or bowl.
D.Japanese influence is seen more than Chinese influence.
√

解析
31.What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph

B.The adoption of metal eating tools.
C.The introduction of seating furniture.

√

Is boredom a thing of the past，like black-and-white television And，if so，is that a good thing Julie Robinson，a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools，thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children，and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了无聊对儿童和成年人培养思考能力和想象力的重要性，并批评了现在人们为了避免无聊过度使用电子产品的现象。
“We should not fear boredom，” said Julie Robinson.“Boredom is valuable to children.Quiet，reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity，” she added.
Her opinion is that constant activity for a child，often the result of the dreams of parents，will lead to concerned and worrying adult.The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination.So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed.
Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored.They seek an electronic device to play games at once.And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet？” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom.So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander
But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection.Adults need that，too.On my train journey to work this morning，I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device.No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the countryside.Not time for quiet thinking，even in the quiet library.There were emails to send，texts to read，and games to play.The wider world，seemingly，didn’t exist.The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives，and has developed an inability—among adults as well as children—to live in the present.What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon: the fear of “inactivity”.And she is right.
32.According to Julie Robinson，why is boredom considered beneficial to children
A.It enhances children’s ability to learn knowledge.
B.It helps children find effective solutions to social problems.
C.It allows children to have time to think and develop their imagination.
D.It enables children to communicate more with their parents and friends.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Boredom is valuable to children.Quiet，reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity”和第三段中“The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination.”可知，Julie Robinson认为无聊是有益的，因为它能让孩子们有时间思考，且发展他们的想象力。故选C。
解析
33.What’s the author’s attitude towards the action of parents in paragraph 4
A.Negative. B.Positive.
C.Neutral. D.Unconcerned.
√
观点态度题。根据第四段前三句对父母行为的描述及最后一句“So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander？”可知，作者认为如今父母利用电子设备来避免孩子无聊这一行为让孩子没有机会思想漫游了，即作者对父母的行为持否定态度，故选A。
解析
34.What did the author intend to show by mentioning the train journey
A.People had too much work to do.
B.The trip on a quiet train was very boring.
C.The view of the countryside was beautiful.
D.Electronic devices influence people’s life greatly.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者在火车上看到大家都在使用电子设备，没有人欣赏窗外的美景。结合该段倒数第三句“The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives，and has developed an inability—among adults as well as children—to live in the present.”可推知，作者提到火车旅行是为了表明电子设备对人们的生活影响很大。故选D。
解析
35.Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph
A.Sending emails on a train.
B.Playing games with friends.
C.Planning constant activity for children.
D.Looking out of the window at the beautiful views.
√
细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，人们都在忙着发邮件、读短信、玩游戏，无暇看窗外的美景。Julie Robinson认为这是一个跨代现象：对“inactivity”的恐惧。“inactivity”现象即上文提到的无聊现象。由此推知，D项“望着窗外美丽的景色”被认为是一种“inactivity”现象。故选D。
解析

解析
Forecasts from animals

第二节 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Language is an important aspect of human society，serving
56. a tool for communication，expression，and the preservation of culture. While most people associate language with verbal expressions，the reality is that language includes a much broader range，including music and body language.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了语言不仅包括口头表达，还包括音乐和肢体语言等非言语交流形式。
as
考查介词。根据空前serving和空后a tool for communication可知，此处为固定短语serve as，意为“作为”。故填as。
解析
These forms of non-verbal communication are just as 57. (power) as spoken words.
powerful
考查形容词。根据空前are just as和空后as spoken words可知，as...as中间用形容词或副词原级，此处指“有力的”，应用形容词powerful作表语。故填powerful。
解析
Music，often 58. (refer) to as the universal language，goes beyond cultural and linguistic barriers.It is a form of non-verbal communication,59. creates connections between people.
referred
which
58.考查非谓语动词。refer在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语Music构成被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故填referred。
59.考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词It即Music，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
解析
The rhythm and melody in music can express emotions without the need for words.Moreover，music 60. (use) as a means of storytelling for a long time.
has been used
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语for a long time可知，句子应用现在完成时态，主语music为单数，与谓语构成被动关系，所以用被动语态，助动词用has。故填has been used。
解析
Body language is another form of non-verbal communication.It involves the use of body postures，facial expressions and eye movements to convey messages.Body language can reveal a person’s emotions，attitudes and intentions without saying 61. single word.
a
考查冠词。根据空后single word可知，此处泛指“一句话”，应用不定冠词，且single的首字母发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
解析
For example，a smile can indicate 62. (happy)，while crossed arms might signal defensiveness or discomfort.Cultural differences can
63. (great) influence the understanding of body language，making it important to understand the context in which these non-verbal cues are given.
happiness
greatly
62.考查名词。根据空前indicate可知，空处需用名词作宾语，此处表示“快乐”，应用名词happiness，是不可数名词。故填happiness。
63.考查副词。根据空前can和空后influence可知，空处需用副词修饰动词influence作状语。故填greatly。
解析
In conclusion，language is a multifaceted(多方面的) phenomenon that goes beyond mere words.It includes the universal resonance of music and the silent expression of body language.64. (know) these different forms of communication enriches our understanding of the world and allows us 65. (connect) with others on a deeper level.
Knowing/To know
to connect
64.考查非谓语动词。空处在句中作主语，应用动名词形式或动词不定式形式，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Knowing/To know。
65.考查非谓语动词。allow sb to do sth为固定用法，意为“允许某人做某事”，空处需用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to connect。
解析
