（23-24高一上·山东菏泽·期末）When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old
in San Diego, California, she clearly remembers that her parents rushed her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-
old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, and some swelling (肿胀) in her hands and tongue.
At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to
the clinic room, where a doctor by chance had a similar earlier experience with such symptoms (症状) in the blood
known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare (罕见的), it’s the leading cause of the heart disease in babies and young
children, and its causes remain unknown.
The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered some medicine for Kate, and finally she shook off-the illness
without suffering damage to her heart.
Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t
answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she
says.
Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our
pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based
on five physical symptoms.
The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on
your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan
the picture for symptoms of the disease, which often have strong visual factors, such as a swollen longue.
Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the website. “The technology could also be developed for
recognizing some other diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and
healthier lives.”
Xu says that her sister Kale, now in her third year of high school with dreams of becoming an environmental
engineer, is strong and healthy.

（23-24高一上·广西桂林·期末）A badly-injured fox spent two weeks recovering in a garden tent after
attaching itself to a family in Glasgow, Scotland.
Liz Wink said the fox followed her home before they noticed a bad wound on its side. “My son Andrew came
running in and said ‘there’s a fox following me’,” Wink said. “We opened the door and it was just standing there.”
“I have three dogs and they were barking (吠叫)but it was still trying to come in — its nose was going through
the letterbox. We noticed the wound. We put food in the back garden and it made the back garden its home. There
was also a chair in the back.” The fox was fed food including cooked chicken. “We also bought a tent, with an old
quit cover in it.”
Wink said antibiotics (抗生素) were given after contacting a vet, and the fox finally left their garden with the
wound healed after a fortnight. “It was here day and night,” Wink said. “My daughter Lucy is good with animals and
would pat it. It was so quiet.”
“Clearly, when foxes are injured they take a thing called a rescue nap (抢救性小睡) and I think that’s what it
has done with us,” Wink said. “They nap for however long it takes , and it completely healed. Then it was up and
away and we never saw that fox again. We still have foxes but that one was so friendly, the other ones do run away.

（23-24高一上·福建厦门·期末）When Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, was born 56 years ago, the
northern bald ibis had disappeared completely from the wild and could only be found in zoos. But Mr. Fritz has spent
his working life reintroducing the birds into the wild, and an extremely important part has been teaching the young
the migration (迁徙) path.
When Mr. Friz decided to lead the migration in a plane, he was laughed at. But in 2004, three years after some
experiments, Mr. Fritz flew an ultralight plane slowly enough for his winged students to catch up, and led the first
group from Austria to Italy. He has since led 15 such migrations. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 young ibises,
many of which then started to pass the path on to their own young.
But the path he taught the ibises before is no longer workable. With climate change warming the lakes where
the birds summer, they now delay (推迟) their migration to November, one month later than they did just a decade
ago. And they are now reaching the Alps too late to make it over the peaks (山峰) because the rising warm air flows
were too weak by November to allow the birds to fly over the mountains.
Determined to save them, Mr. Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration path. The new path is
about three times as long as their former 800 miles one directly south to Tuscany, Italy. Flying at a highest speed of
25 miles per hour, the trip is expected to take about six weeks, instead of the two to reach Tuscany.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司At Lake Constance this summer, humans and birds were practicing for their long journey. Soon, they’ll fly to
Andalusia in Spain, dealing with unpredictable weather along the way. But the risks are “necessary,” Mr. Fritz said.
“It’s not so much a job,” he added, “but my life’s purpose.”
1．What happened to the ibises when Mr. Fritz was born?
A．They had been trained to fly. B．They had been rewilded in Italy.
C．They were migrating naturally. D．They were no longer seen in the wild.
2．Why do the ibises need to learn a new migration path?
A．They have forgotten the old path.
B．The path they took before is longer.
C．The Alps is impassable for the delayed migration.
D．The changing climate has warmed the mountains.
3．What can we know about the ibises’ new migration path?
A．It is higher than before. B．It takes about two weeks.
C．It leads directly to Tuscany. D．It is about 2,400 miles long.
4．Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz?
A．Inspiring but inexperienced. B．Responsible but emotional.
C．Determined and creative. D．Observant and outgoing.
（23-24 高一上·广东惠州·期末）We’re about 4 miles from Gallaudet University, where Solomon is a
professor of biology. She and a student -Anna McCall -are taking a small boat to collect water samples from the
Anacostin River. The river is no more than 8 miles long, but it goes through and around Washington DC．
For months, Solomon and her students have been testing for oxygen, salt levels and chlorophyll (叶绿素) in
the river to judge is present state of health, which unfortunately appears to be poor.
To McCall, who was born deaf, Solomon is more than a role model. She’s a great teacher, strict but fair. McCall
said, “if it weren’t for Solomon, I couldn’t imagine doing this kind of work.”
Solomon was the only deaf person in her family. In school, she was always good at math and science, but her
interest in the environment didn’t develop until she was a teenager.
“When I was in high school, my dad was a visiting professor at the U. S. Naval Academy,” Solomon said. “We
rented a house by a small river. We weren’t able to swim in the river because it was too polluted. ”
Solomon, who won 13 gold medals in swimming in the Deaflympics, would never forget that polluted river
near her house. A career in science and environmental studies became her passion. But she also found another
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司passion (热情): “How can I influence other deaf and hard-of-hearing students?”
It was a question based on Solomon’s own experience as a college student, first as an undergraduate (本科
生) at Harvard, then as a graduate student at the University of Washington. These were schools where she was usually
the only deaf person in the class.
Training the next generation of biologists who happen to be deaf has become Solomon’s goal, and for that she
has received high praise at Gallaudet. Not because she’s an especially gifted teacher, but because she has learned how
to get her students to focus on what they’re capable of not what they’re limited by.
1．What can we learn about Anna McCall?
A．She is a deaf student of Solomon’s.
B．She is a role model for all students.

D．She is a professor at Gallaudet University
2．Which of the following words best describe Solomon as a teenager?
A．Honest and brave. B．Passionate and positive.
C．Patient and powerful D．Selfless and careful
3．Why has Solomon received high praise at Gallaudet?
A．Because she has been very strict with her students.
B．Because she has a natural ability to be a good teacher
C．Because she has helped her students develop their abilities
D．Because she has helped her students know their limitations
4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．How to Take Water Samples of a River
B．How to Become a Successful Biologist
C．Train the Next Generation of Biologists
D．Teach Deaf Students They Can Do Anything
（23-24高一上·安徽合肥·期末）In the busy and crowded Mexico City, an excellent woman has managed to
build a shelter (庇护所) for one of nature’s most beautiful creatures—the hummingbird (蜂鸟) . Meet 73-year-old
Catia Lattouf, an eager bird lover who has turned her apartment into a home for these tiny, lively birds.
In a city where green spaces are not enough, and city wildlife is often pushed to the edges, Lattouf’s love for
hummingbirds began in 2011, just a year after recovering from a deadly illness, when she began caring for a
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司hummingbird that had an eye injured by another bird. She named the bird Gucci after the brand (品牌) of the
eyeglasses case where she kept it and soon they became the best of friends. The tiny hummingbird rested on Lattouf’s
computer screen while she worked.
“It was a good medicine for my spirit,” Lattouf said of Gucei, adding, “It gave me a new life.” Gucci was the
first, but many hummingbirds came to be cared for by Lattouf.
For years Lattouf’s home had been a bird shelter, but she was concerned about whether she would be able to
meet the requirements of hummingbirds. However, since then, Lattouf has worked to make the public realize the
importance of hummingbirds and has saved and freed hundreds of them.
Hummingbirds are an important part of the American food web. They help control the population of insects.
Although they’re small in size, their diet includes the mosquitoes, spiders and fruit flies. Hummingbirds also
pollinate (授粉) a wide variety of flowering plants from Alaska to the southernmost point of South America, which
is especially important for native plant species. In fact, some plants depend almost completely on hummingbirds for
pollination.
Through her effort, Lattouf has shown that even in the heart of a big city, it is possible to coexist (共存) with
and protect the natural world. In a city that can sometimes feel disconnected from nature, Lattouf’s apartment is a
wonder that can be found when we make space for the wild in our everyday lives.
1．Where did the bird’s name come from?
A．The shape of the eyeglasses case. B．The place where Lattouf put it.
C．The park where Lattouf found it. D．The picture on Lattouf’s computer screen.
2．What can we learn about Gucci?
A．It was hard to care for. B．It nearly died of its serious injury.
C．It brought some trouble to the author’s work.D．It benefited Lattouf’s health greatly.

A．Making good use of hummingbirds. B．Protecting hummingbirds from injury.
C．Calling on people to protect hummingbirds. D．Improving the living environment of hummingbirds.
4．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5?
A．The value of hummingbirds to humans.B．The possibility of man living with nature.
C．The growing conditions of flowering plants. D．The plants that are pollinated by hummingbirds.
（23-24高一上·吉林延边·期末）I’m Zhang Jiabo, 17, from the High School Affiliated to Renmin University
of China. For me, September of 2022 was colorful and unforgettable. So many amazing events happened in my life
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司during that month.
First, I organized a badminton competition at the beginning of the month, which left some very precious (珍
贵的) memories. Moreover, I joined a World Wildlife Fund translation project and the main activity for this project
is to translate English articles about environmental protection into Chinese. It sounds difficult, but thanks to the many
helpful members of our group, everything has gone smoothly so far.
The badminton competition was so meaningful for me—I learned a lot from organizing it. I strengthened my
management skills and discovered a new organizational method by the end of the game. For example, I learned for
the first time how to keep track of our money correctly. After the badminton competition, I realized that we only
needed two courts (球场) when the match got to the final round. Next time, I will use the money more wisely during
the process of preparation.
Moreover, through the translation project I learned how to negotiate (协商) with others. Since there are so
many people in the translation project, we needed to manage our work according to each person’s condition at that
time. Although the process was difficult, it was an excellent chance to enhance my ability to negotiate. It also helped
to strengthen my time management skills.
Even though there were problems and obstacles (阻碍) along the way, I’m still very happy that I challenged
myself with these events and made friends because of them. I will keep on moving forward and devote (投入) my
efforts to such projects in the future, and hopefully become an even better organizer and team player in the end.

学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司（23-24高一上·江苏常州·期末）At the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, among mountain songs and ethnic
costumes and special ceremonies, I am noticeable despite my modern dress, as my green “VOLUNTEER” nametag
brands me as a perfect target for curious tourists. I have volunteered to learn about global customs; my knowledge of
my native culture is limited. I had boxed up my past before moving to America eight years ago, when a new continent
considered my old self foreign.
Here on the National Mall, I am the only means of communication between the Americans and the artisan
(工匠), who were invited from China to display their talents. They see my awkward hand gestures as I test my mother
tongue, speaking Mandarin (普通话) and putting it into English for visitors.
The artisans possess exceptional skills. He Guoyao can read thousands of pictographic characters (象形文
字) and bears the duty of passing on Dongba culture. Cheng Zhirong creates fantastic animal figures with a spoon
and melted sugar in minutes. Standing among them, I wonder about the contributions a 16-year-old girl can make.
“Ooh, it’s so pretty!” A young girl sticks her nose close to a sugar dragon. Zhirong, the candy maker, signals
to me, and I explain to the girl that the dragon is pure sugar. “Mommy, it’s candy!” she excitedly says. “Beautiful...” The
crowd breathes in awe. One woman taps me on the shoulder, saying, “Please, tell her that her work is surreal... a gift
from another world.”
As Zhirong takes my hand and calls me “little sister”, I find my place in this group of extraordinary people
who crossed oceans to build a bridge between different ethnicities and nationalities through sugar sculptures and
painted words. I, too, am a bearer of traditions．
I smile at Guoyao, as he paints in pictographic characters the English words I have taught him, “You’re
welcome.” I come to know that culture is not shelved behind glass cases in museums. It is in the life that I once
thought backward and dull — the Chinese way of life that is a part of me.

B．Culture should be presented in different forms.
C．Culture can only be kept alive through exchanges.
D．Chinese culture has helped her better adapt to her new life.
（23-24高一上·浙江金华·期末）I finally climbed into bed at 1: 20 in the morning. My friends had helped
me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived.
Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks
of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not
for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly
bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance?
As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall.
When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned
on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door.
I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the
door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just
a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the
corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door
and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze
(挤) through and make it into the hallway.
I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely
street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the
neighborhood!

（23-24高一上·浙江台州·期末）At six o’clock sharp the curtain rises at Southside Cultural Center, in Reno.
Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, look to the stage. Dozens of actors break out into the
first number of The Lion King.
But this is not your typical production. The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of
America family shelter in Reno. The children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to
volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini. “I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current
circumstance doesn’t have to be their destiny (命运) . If they are determined, they can do anything they want.”
Determination is something Nasya knows all about. She was born prematurely and was given little chance of
survival. But Nasya kept fighting. Her very name means “miracle” in Hebrew. Nasya was small, but quickly proved
that her talents were as big as her will to survive. She started dancing at two. By six she’d been spotted by an acting
coach, who encouraged her parents to enroll her in drama classes. “There was something about being onstage,” Nasya
says. “It made my spirit come alive.” She decided that she was going to be an actor.
However, her enthusiasm didn’t sit well with some of her schoolmates. They teased (嘲) her, “You’re a shrimp.
You’re not even pretty.” Nasya came home in tears. Her mother hugged her and told her to ignore it. By high school,
Nasya was winning awards in theater competitions. She also provided community service by teaching drama to the
children at the shelter. Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give. The best
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司way to do that, she decided, was to put on a big play.

（23-24高一上·湖南怀化·期末）Lights, camera, action! Have you ever dreamed of being a director? At age
29, Di Di already has almost 10 years of directing experience under his belt. Through the media company he founded,
he makes advertising and promotional videos, including for Tsinghua University.
For Di, becoming a director is “an adventure based on interest”. Majoring in journalism, he got into directing
by chance. “In 2013, I came up with an idea for Tsinghua’s admissions video but couldn’t find a director,” Di said.
“So I decided to be the director myself! I ended up really enjoying the process of being creative and working with a
team. That was when I knew I wanted to be a director.”
While many people think that directors are experts at art, Di found that directors are, in fact, experts at
management. “Only one-third of my time is spent on set. The rest of the time, I’m doing lots of planning with my
customers and colleagues,” he said. This planning process includes working out the video’s theme with the client,
creating a script, bringing together the visuals and text content, and also managing logistics like where to park the
cars and how to bring electricity to the set.
Despite the pressure, Di gets great joy from making an impact through his works. In 2019, he made a film for
Tsinghua, which tells the story of a group of first-generation college students. It was viewed more than 15 million
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司times on social media and became a hot top 20 trending topic on Sina Weibo. Being a first-generation college student
himself, Di felt very passionate about the videos goal of inspiring students to use their education to make a better life
for their families. One month before the national college entrance exam in 2020, Di released a feature film encouraging
high school students to keep working hard after the exam was pushed back by one month.
“I want to uncover and share China’s stories with the world, true stories of Chinese youth fighting for their
dreams,” said Di.

（23-24高一上·安徽阜阳·期末）In December 2018, Cheré Bautista had to face a fear that she had worried
about since she was a teen. Then 36, Bautista had spent months searching for work and had finally been offered a job
in the call center of a Seattle-area hospital. But at the last minute, the offer was rescinded due to something Bautista
had kept secret for twenty years: She had never graduated from high school.
“That was the lowest point in my life,” recalls Bautista. She has come a long way since her childhood. Raised by
a single dad, she often had to take care of herself. At 16, she dropped out of high school to work and support herself.
Gradually, Bautista built a life. By 2005, she had worked at a local bank.
With each passing year, however, Bautista felt her career options (职业选择) narrowing. After nearly ten years
in banking, she was getting burned out. She dreamed of becoming an accountant (会计), but knew that required a
diploma (文凭). Meanwhile, her incomplete education made her feel uncomfortable socially.
When the hospital call center job fell through, Bautista knew she’d reached a breaking point. “At that moment,
it was just, ‘I have to fix this.’”
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司After searching for local classes, Bautista came across a preparatory program on the Hopelink website. She’d
known it ran a food bank, but was unaware Hope link also offered free adult education programs.
Though Bautista was nervous about being in class, she refused to let that fear get in the way. “She always
asked questions and was really open about what she understood and didn’t understand,” says Debbie Margolis, a
teacher of Hopelink.
Hopelink helped Bautista prepare for her GED test, which awards the equivalent of a high school diploma.
She passed the test in six months in June 2019. Even today, Bautista recalls the relief she felt—“Just the weight lifting
off my shoulders: I finally get this done.”
1．What does the underlined word “rescinded” mean in the first paragraph?

C．She supported a big family. D．She lived with her students.
3．One of the purposes of Hopelink is to ________.
A．teach the locals how to save food B．design GED tests for young students
C．provide adults with education courses D．help parents see their own strengths
4．Which of the following best describes Bautista?
A．Determined. B．Demanding. C．Humorous. D．Generous.
（23-24高一上·广东汕头·期末）One weekend last summer, I paid a visit to the Sahara Desert with my
boyfriend David. Before we went to the Sahara Desert, we had heard about the sandstorms there. But we didn’t
believe we would be so unlucky to experience one.
We were in a jeep with our guide when someone who was traveling with us said a sandstorm was approaching.
But the guide shook his head, saying we shouldn’t worry. He took us straight to the place where we would take a
camel ride.
We were losing ourselves in watching sunrise after the camel ride when the sandstorm struck us. The winds
roared through the valleys between dunes, lifting the sand until it was impossible to breathe.
David found me in the sand. Then he began taking off his long scarf around his neck and face, wanting to put it
around my face instead. But I rejected it. Instead, I managed to put on a travel jacket that I had put in my backpack
and pulled the hood around my face. David held me and we walked clumsily in the sand. All I wanted was to get back
to our camp and out of the storm.

climbed on our camels. Sand hit every part of my body. With eyes shut tight, I was blind, unable to control the camel.
When we finally stopped, David helped me to get off the camel and led me to the side of a long black tent, where he
rolled out a blanket and helped me to sit. We saw our guide near us. “I thought you guys were going to kill me,” he
said, “There were signs, if I had paid attention. The driver reminded me twice to do the ride tomorrow morning
instead of tonight, but everyone was so eager about riding camels that I didn’t expect to see all of you feel upset.”
Most of us laughed it off. A few even took a pleasure in the experience. Though I suffered a lot, I didn’t regret
