2023·新课标Ⅱ卷 说明文 286词 ★★★★☆
As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming
harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to
find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study
shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human wellbeing.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred parkgoers,
asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in
the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding ( 编码) experiences into
different categories. For example, one participant's experience of “We sat and listened to the
waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to
waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language”
began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often
as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and
following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and
take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the
experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a
weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form
of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the humannature interactions back into
our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with
it，” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。城市化让人们越来越难以接触到自然，但一项新研
究发现城市中的野生自然对人类健康和幸福感具有重要影响。研究团队对一座大型城市公园
的游客进行调查，发现与野生自然的互动可以创造出一种可用的语言，帮助人们认识和参与

1．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A．Pocket parks are now popular.
B．Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C．Many cities are overpopulated.
D．People enjoy living close to nature.答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第一段内容“As cities balloon with growth, access to
nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a
pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.(随
着城市的飞速发展，生活在城市地区的人们越来越难以接近大自然。如果你幸运的话，你住
的地方附近可能会有一个袖珍公园，但在城市里找到相对天然的地方是罕见的)”可知，文
章开头作者讲述了一种现象，在城市里，人们很难找到野生的自然。故选B。
2．Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?
A．To compare different types of parkgoers.
B．To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C．To analyze the main features of the park.
D．To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。题干问的是研究人员将参与者提交的文件分类的原因。
根据第四段第一句话“Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories... began to emerge”(在
320份提交的材料中，一种被研究人员称为“自然语言”的类别模式开始出现)可知，研究
人员这样做是为了从访客的总结材料中找出类别规律。故选D。
3．What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 5?
A．Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C.The same nature experience takes different forms.
D.The nature language enhances work performance.
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Naming each nature experience creates
a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most
satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water
might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during
a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on
their lunch break. (命名每一种自然体验创造了一种可用的语言，这有助于人们认识并参与到
对他们来说最满意和最有意义的活动中。例如，沿着水边散步的经历可能会让一个年轻的专
业人士在周末去公园徒步旅行时感到满意。在工作日回到市中心，他们可以在午休时沿着喷
泉散步，享受一种更居家的互动方式)”可知，本段讲述了自然体验创造一种可用的语言，
有助于人们识别并参与对自己来说最满意最有意义的活动，接下来以一个年轻的专业人士参
与自然的方式举例说明，去公园时沿着水边散步让他感到满意，回到市中心工作时他可以通
过沿着喷泉散步获得满足。因此推知，从第五段的例子中我们可以知道一样的自然体验可以
呈现不同的形式。故选C。
4．What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?
A．Language study.
B．Environmental conservation.
C．Public education.
D．Intercultural communication.
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘We're trying to generate a language that
helps bring the humannature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also
need to protect nature so that we can interact with it，’ said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the
study. (‘我们正试图创造一种语言，帮助将人类与自然的互动带回我们的日常生活中。要做
到这一点，我们还需要保护自然，这样我们才能与它互动，’该研究的资深作者彼得·卡恩
说。)”可推断，彼得·卡恩认为在我们与大自然互动之前我们应该先要保护自然。故选B。B
2023·全国乙卷 说明文 337词 ★★★★★
What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a
Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though
Britain has a reputation for lessthanimpressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who
appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller
lists.
It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning
away from meatandtwoveg and readymade meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking
habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly
declining and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in
some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK
universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think
about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery
programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a
wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better
quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more
confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting
more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television
scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before.
With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍英国人在英国烹饪节目的影响下改变对烹饪的
看法，并尝试新的烹饪习惯。
5．What do people usually think of British food?
A．It is simple and plain.
B．It is rich in nutrition.
C．It lacks authentic tastes.
D．It deserves a high reputation.
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第一段的“What comes into your mind when you
think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But
is British food really so uninteresting？”(当你想到英国食物时，你会想到什么？你可能想到
的是炸鱼薯条，或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是，英国食物真的如此无趣吗？)可知，提及
英国食物，大家往往只是想到炸鱼薯条和周日烤肉，所以人们通常会觉得英国食物平平无奇。
故选A项。
6．Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV?
A．Authoritative. B．Creative.
C．Profitable. D．Influential.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第二段的“It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than
any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meatandtwoveg and readymade meals
and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.”(正是由于电视上的这些大厨，而不是
凭借广告宣传活动，英国人正在远离“一肉两菜”和速食餐，而变得更加愿意探索新的烹饪
习惯。)和“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think aboutcooking.”(似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。)可知，英国的烹饪节目能够改变英
国人对烹饪的看法，尝试从传统的英式饮食走出来，尝试新的烹饪习惯，由此推知英国的烹
饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选D项。
7．Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?
A．20%. B．24%.
C．25%. D．33%.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Almost one third say they now use a wider
variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better
quality ingredients than before.”(几乎三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的配料比以前更多，将
近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。)可知，三分之一左右的人，也
就是33%左右的人，使用的配料比以前更多。故选D项。
8．What might the author continue talking about?
A．The art of cooking in other countries.
B．Male chefs on TV programmes.
C．Table manners in the UK.
D．Studies of big eaters.
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“With an increasing number of
male chefs on TV, it's no longer ‘uncool’ for boys to like cooking.”(随着电视上出现越来越多
男性厨师，男孩子喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事了。)可知，接下来，文章应该具体介
绍电视上的男性厨师，从而与上文形成语义连贯。故选B项。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
[2024·广东省模拟Ⅰ]Hector stood in the front of his fifthgrade classroom as one of the last
two competitors in the Room Five Geography Bee. His opponent having missed the last question, it
was Hector's turn. If he answered his question correctly, he would be the Room Five champion.
“Where did I put that second sheet of questions？” Mr. Adler whispered while searching
through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a reputation
for being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. “Oh well, I apologize for the
delay，” said Mr. Adler after what seemed like a long time. “Hector, please tell us the capital
city of Brazil.” Hearing the question, Hector smiled. Then, there was the answer.
Later that day in the courtyard, many classmates congratulated Hector. Wearing a proud smile,
he greeted and thanked them all. Oh, the sweet taste of victory.
As it was getting late, the courtyard became deserted. But Hector still didn't want to leave.
Then he saw Mr. Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a halfopen bag full of papers. As he
hurried past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware, turned a corner and disappeared
out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee
Questions and Answers”. Hector stared wideeyed at the envelope. Before he even had time to
reflect on the consequences, he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as Hector had done it, he knew it was the wrong choice. He'd cheated and whatever
he did now, he couldn't change the fact. “What if Mr. Adler thought I stole this morning's
questions too？” Hector thought. “He'd take away my Room Five victory for sure.” Little did he
know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his
conscience, Hector was totally at a loss what to do.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式作答。
Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler's room.

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