(2025·福建宁德高二下期末)The “Father of the National Park System”,John Muir was an influential writer,naturalist,and environmentalist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Born in 1838 in Dunbar,Scotland,he moved to the United States with his family and was attracted by the land.He was a prize-winning inventor,but it's his love for wild places and absolute devotion to protecting them that we remember him for.
As a young man,he explored the North American continent on foot,walking thousands of miles until he eventually settled in California.There,he fell in love with Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.His article series,“Studies in the Sierra,” put his name on the map and launched a prolific writing career,with over 300 articles and 10 books published.A true mountain man,he encouraged everyone to “climb the mountains and get their good tidings”.
His writings inspired presidents,congressmen,and average citizens to care about nature.In 1890,due in large part to a series of articles he published in Century magazine,U.S.Congress created Yosemite National Park.Muir was also involved in the creation of the Sequoia,Mount Rainier,Petrified Forest,and Grand Canyon National Parks,thus earning his title.
But his work didn't stop there: in 1892,Muir and his supporters founded the Sierra Club to“do something for wildness and make the mountains glad”.In 1901,he published the book“Our National Parks” and caught the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt,who visited him at Yosemite.During that visit,they laid the foundation of Roosevelt's groundbreaking protection programs.
Muir died in 1914,but his memory lives on,continuing to inspire new generations of environmentalists everywhere.

Over a four-year period,Swiss researchers have developed a machine that can keep human livers (肝) alive outside of the body for one week.
Livers are among the most commonly transplanted human organs.Current technology can only keep human livers alive for up to 24 hours.It is reported that,in 2017,about 8,000 liver transplants were performed in the U.S.,of which 360 used livers from living givers.In addition,about 11,500 people were registered on a waiting list to receive a liver transplant.Keeping livers alive and functioning for longer periods could greatly improve the chances of survival for patients.
The researchers say the purpose of their“Liver4Life”machine is to perform what they call liver perfusion (灌注)operations outside of the human body.Perfusion is the process by which blood or other liquids are pumped through organs and tissue.The machine keeps the liver at the right temperature and moves it in a way that would be natural in the body.Using a pump to fill the liver with blood acting like a human heart,the machine also provides oxygen to the organ,controls red blood cell levels and removes waste.
The research team began their experiments with livers from pigs.After repeated testing and engineering development,they succeeded in getting the pig livers to survive for seven days with support only provided from the Liver4Life machine.They also discovered the system can work to repair damaged livers.The team is now planning its next step to transplant machine-treated organs into patients.
Pierre-Alain Clavien,leader of the research said in a statement.“This technology will greatly increase the number of livers available for transplant,improving the chances of survival for patients.The success of this unique machine opens the way for many new applications in transplantation and cancer medicine.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。瑞士研究人员研发出一种机器,可以让人的肝脏在体外存活一周,文章介绍了这个机器的作用、研究过程和意义。
5.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A.Introduce a brand new topic for discussion.
B.Provide some latest data about present liver transplants.
C.Show the urgency of tech improvement in liver transplants.
D.Remind readers concerned of the importance of a healthy liver.
解析 C 推理判断题。根据第二段“keep human livers alive for up to 24 hours”,“about 8,000 liver transplants”,“about 11,500 people”,结合第二段最后一句可知,保持肝脏的存活和功能更长周期可提高患者的存活率,说明肝脏移植技术改进的紧迫性。故选C。
6.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 3 refer to
A.The machine.
B.The liver.
C.The temperature.
D.The tissue.
解析 B 代词指代题。根据第三段“The machine keeps the liver at the right temperature and”可知,这台机器将肝脏保持在适当的温度,and后的主语为The machine,谓语为moves,推测宾语与上文相同,也为liver。所以机器使肝脏保持在合适的温度,并以一种人体自然的方式移动肝脏,it代指“肝脏”。故选B。
7.What can we learn about the Liver4Life machine
A.It is among the most commonly used machines for liver transplants.
B.It is aimed to carry out liver perfusion operations in the human body.
C.It can perform several functions to keep the liver working normally.
D.It can be used to keep the pig livers alive for more than one week.
解析 C 推理判断题。根据第三段“The machine...would be natural in the body.”以及下文“provides oxygen to the organ,controls red blood cell levels and removes waste”可知,这台机器保持肝脏温度,供氧,控制红细胞水平,清除废物;结合第四段“the system can work to repair damaged livers”可知,该机器可修复受损的肝脏。由此可推知,Liver4Life机器可以发挥多种功能,保持肝脏正常工作。故选C。
8.Where is this text most likely from
A.A biology textbook.
B.A first aid brochure.
C.A social web page.
D.A health magazine.
解析 D 文章出处题。通读全文,根据第一段内容,在四年多的时间里,瑞士研究人员开发出一种机器,可以让人的肝脏在体外存活一周。结合下文介绍机器的作用、研究过程和意义可推断出这篇文章最有可能来自健康杂志。故选D。
Ⅴ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
That being creative makes us feel good seems obvious,but many of us struggle to set time aside for a new or old hobby or project.Read on for five suggestions of how to fit creativity into everyday life.
Take off the pressure.
1 But when we pile on the pressure,it tends to get harder to tap into.“Creativity isn't about being perfect,but being curious and brave,”says UK-based personal potential coach Elaine Harrison.
Seize the chances in everyday life.
When thinking about creative activities,we tend to stop at arts and crafts. 2 Cook a brand new dish,devise a fresh outfit from clothes you already own,or adjust your living space—shifting furniture around,even,or adding a vase of flowers.
Carry a notebook.
It can be hard not to reach for your phone when you're craving (渴望) something novel or inspiring. 3 Josephine Grant,a printmaker from north Devon,always has a sketchbook (素描簿) on hand to capture fleeting bursts of inspiration.“Put those ideas to paper before they're lost in the rush of the day,” she says.
4-
“Our minds are always so busy,” says artist Isabella Strambio.She recommends activities that have a physical rhythm,like knitting (针织).“Once you know the knot,your mind flows,” she notes.A neurologist Marcus Raichle puts it:“When we daydream,we're at the centre of the universe.”
Team up with others.
Teaming up with others can make you more creative,says Nicole Rixon,founder of UK-based video production company Bridget Productions.“I used to think being creative was a very lone pursuit,but creative work is a living,breathing,growing thing—it takes a village,”she says. 5-
A.Follow a routine.
B.Leave time to dream.
C.Creativity is meant to be fun.
D.Could you join a group of travellers to beat loneliness
E.But replacing digital with drawing can help to unlock creativity.
F.How about organising a painting group or a photography walk
G.Actually there are plenty of ways to get your imagination flowing.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章给出五条将创造力融入日常生活的建议,包括卸下压力、抓住日常机会、随身携带笔记本、留时间做梦和与他人合作。
1.C 空后一句说明压力会影响创造力,but说明上下文之间语义相反,结合下文“curious and brave”说明创造力有积极作用,C项与下文压力导致难挖掘创造力形成对比。故选C。
2.G 空前一句指出,人们对创造性活动的狭隘认知,只局限于艺术和手工艺,设空处解释说明什么是真正的创造性活动,G项与上文形成转折,引出下文列举的烹饪新菜、搭配新服装等其他发挥创造力的方式。故选G。
3.E 空前一句提到人们习惯用手机获取灵感,结合下文“Put those ideas to paper”建议要让想法付诸纸笔,说明设空处与上文语义相反,E项提出用绘画代替手机能解锁创造力,且E项中drawing与下文Josephine Grant用素描簿捕捉灵感相呼应。故选E。
4.B 设空处为本段小标题。根据下文“a physical rhythm”以及“mind flows”,结合下文“When we daydream,we're at the centre of the universe.”强调要让思维放松,适当做白日梦,B项适合作本段小标题。故选B。
5.F 上文“Teaming up with others can make you more creative”强调合作的好处,设空处应进一步说明如何进行合作,F项是具体的合作活动建议,符合语境。故选F。
