(2021·成都市高三第二次诊断)North Americans value independence，and Europeans value togetherness.I never fully
understood that stereotype until two months ago，when I left Canada for a 4－month
period in a lab in France.On my first day，Pierre，a Ph.D.student，tapped me on my
shoulder and asked，“Coffee？”I nodded and followed him to the common room，
where other grad students were filing in.I sat there，cautiously sipping the bitter liquid
and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured taste，while lab chatter filled the air.
Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here.The chatter sometimes turns to
serious scientific topics.But mostly，the meet－ups offer a chance to wind down，to
share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who
understand what you’re going through.
The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life
in Canada，where I spent most of my workdays in isolation.I went into the lab each
morning with set goals for my day.At lunch，I’d keep my eyes glued to my computer
while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth，trying to power through my to－do
list.For 9 months，I struggled to figure out why I couldn’t exactly copy the results of
another study.I didn’t want to trouble my advisor too much.I was also hesitant to ask
my lab mates for help.
How much we were missing！Researchers need community because good ideas don’t
just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts.It’s helpful to bounce
ideas off others，and，to have a venue to share the day－to－day ups and downs of
life.
Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems？Probably not.But I think sharing
ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma.My time in France
has taught me that it’s important to create space for organic conversations about lab
life.A scientist can feel isolated，but it’s not necessarily so when you’re connected to a
supportive community.
【语篇解读】 本文是夹叙夹议文。作者拿现在在法国的工作生活和过去在加拿
大的生活做对比，感叹“支持性圈子”的重要性。4．How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France?
A．A little nervous. B．Very happy.
C．Somewhat excited. D．Quite curious.
答案 A [推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，作者坐在那儿，小心地啜
饮着发苦的液体，努力不暴露自己的品位。由此可推知，作者坐在那儿要伪装自
己，应该是有点紧张。]
5．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．Cultural ceremonies in France.
B．Various topics of the chatter.
C．The benefits of coffee breaks.
D．Lab culture in France.
答案 C [段落大意题。浏览第二段的内容可知，咖啡休息是实验室文化仪式感
的一部分，人们可以讨论严肃的科学话题，但大多数情况下它提供了一个喘口气
的机会，人们可以分享生活中的故事。由此可知，第二段主要讲了咖啡休息的好
处。]
6．What was the author’s life like back in Canada?
A．Comfortable and fulfilled. B．Busy and lonely.
C．Tense but satisfactory. D．Boring but healthy.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第三段第一句尤其是“in Canada，where I spent
most of my workdays in isolation”可知，作者在加拿大是孤独的；再根据第三段
中的“I went into the lab each morning...into my mouth”可知，作者在实验室非常忙碌。]
7．Why does the author write this passage?
A．To introduce the coffee break in Europe.
B．To explain the difference between cultures.
C．To recall his personal experience in France.
D．To convey the importance of a supportive circle.
答案 D [写作意图题。通读全文可知，作者描述了自己在法国实验室的经历，
并将其与自己在加拿大的生活对比，由此作者意识到，一个科学家可能会感到被
孤立，但当你与一个支持你的团体建立联系时，情况就不一定是这样了。由此可
知，作者写这篇文章的目的是表达一个支持自己的圈子的重要性。]

(2021·沈阳市高三质量监测二)
One of the tallest wooden buildings in Europe ，a 98m timber ( 木材 ) mixture
skyscraper (摩天大楼)，is to rise in Berlin.
The 29－storey WoHo tower，to be designed by a firm of Norwegian architects，is
intended to be a “lighthouse project” for low－carbon construction，towering over
Potsdamer Platz and the Landwehr Canal.
Its core，including lifts and a staircase，is to be built around a steel－reinforced
concrete structure but the rest of the building，including flats，offices，cafes and a
kindergarten，will be fashioned from wooden beams (横梁) and panels.
“As Norwegians，we are used to working a lot with timber，”Nicolai Riise，CEO
of the Mad Architects’ Practice，said.
“Timber demonstrates sustainability from top to bottom.Its carbon footprint is close
to zero and it’s a fantastic building material.If you look at this in a broader way，it’s
one of the ways we are going to be able to beat the climate crisis.”Wooden skyscrapers，once regarded as an unprofitable pipe dream，have become a
realistic prospect with the coming of cross－laminated building techniques and more
flexible planning laws.Because these structures’ parts are fitted with care，they can be
far lighter than their concrete equivalents ( 相等的东西) and are thought to be
relatively resistant to fire.A cubic meter of wood can also absorb an estimated ton of
carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Larger wooden structures are planned elsewhere.London is examining blueprints for
the 300－meter Oakwood Tower.Another project in Tokyo could rise to 350m.
【语篇解读】 本文是新闻报道。文章报道了将由挪威设计公司设计的 29层

A．Timber is too flexible.
B．Timber is easy to process.
C．Timber is eco－friendly.
D．Timber is multi－functional.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“Its carbon footprint is...we are
going to be able to beat the climate crisis.”可知，挪威人更喜欢用木材修建建筑物的原因是木材的碳足迹接近于零，所以木材是环保的。]
10．What makes it possible to build wooden skyscrapers?
A．The concrete equivalents.
B．Creative planning.
C．Fire－resistant materials.
D．New building techniques.
答 案 D [ 细 节 理 解 题 。 根 据 文 章 倒 数 第 二 段 中 的 “ Wooden

(2021·扬州市高三适应性考试)
Many older people around the world have at least one common concern：How to get
younger people, hooked on their electronic devices, interested in classic literature.Take
the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example.The main character in the 16th－
century classic novel, Journey to the West，is a romantic figure of bravery and
adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamorof the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best－known chapters
from Journey to the West.This film, expected to create a new channel to promote
Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera.It covers all the
basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and makeup for dozens of facial
representations of different figures’ characteristics.
It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its
own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu，director of the film, who is adopting a fresh
approach to present the traditional art form.One challenge that Cheng and his
production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the
fundamentals of the art.The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera
cannot be changed.
Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live
band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the
prerecorded music.“If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference
for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art，” Cheng said.
On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not
just want to document a stage performance.Computer technology is also applied to
achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes.
Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but they gave way to
more diverse entertainment.In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity
of Peking Opera films.However, the overuse of special effects in many film
adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage
performances.The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a
film’s expression.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。导演程箓拍摄的京剧电影《大闹天宫》旨在通过
电影的方式来推广京剧。电影和舞台戏剧有很大的区别，程箓导演和他的团队创
造性地应用了一些电脑技术，但保留了传统戏剧的精粹。12．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.
B．To introduce a new Peking Opera film.
C．To express older people’s concern about the young generation.
D．To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art.
答案 B [写作意图题。本文主要介绍了京剧电影《大闹天宫》的相关内容，而
本段以年长的人期望年轻人对经典文学感兴趣来引出《西游记》中的孙悟空进而
在第二段引出本文的话题——京剧电影《大闹天宫》，故B项正确。]
13．What did Director Cheng do while producing the film?
A．He made changes to basic performance skills.
B．He made use of symbols and motions equally.
C．He insisted on a band playing music on the scene.
D．He brought onto the stage exact details of real life.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“a live band was on the set to provide
sound for the film, rather than employing the prerecorded music”可知，程箓导演在
拍摄影片时让乐队现场演奏，故C项正确。]
14．What innovation did Cheng’s team make?
A．They opposed a rigid recording of the performance.
B．They enriched visual effects with modern technology.
C．They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.
D．They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第五段中的“some creativity was needed”“Computer
technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossiblescenes”可知，程箓导演和他的团队创造性地应用了电脑技术来实现一些视觉效
果并呈现一些舞台戏剧无法实现的场景，故B项正确。]
15．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A．Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.
B．Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.
C．There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.
D．The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However，the overuse...a film’s
expression”可知，过度使用特效会削弱京剧表演原来的魅力，不能为了一个电
影的表达而牺牲戏剧带来的想象，由此我们可推断出不能为了电影而牺牲京剧本
身的魅力，故D项正确。]

(2021·济南市高中三年级学情诊断考试)
Critical thinking means absorbing important information and using that to form a
decision or an opinion of your own.__1__ But luckily，it’s something you can train
yourself to do better.
One of the most important parts of thinking critically is learning what details
matter.We’re exposed to so much information and so many different opinions every
day that it’s really easy to get lost in the details.__2__
Knowing which details matter is the first part of critical thinking，but it’s pretty
useless if you don’t know what types of questions to ask next.__3__ It’s important to
always ask yourself why something is important and how it connects to things you
already know.As you do that，you train your brain to think critically about more
information you come across.As with anything，if you want to get good at critical thinking，you need to practice it
every day.__4__ This could be casual observations or a notebook with opinions，but
the point is to write every single day.Likewise，participating in a healthy debate with
friends is great practice.
__5__ The more knowledge you gain，the better you’ll become at thinking about
it.That doesn’t mean you should be constantly thinking about thinking，but the end
result is a brain that automatically forms better arguments，clear ideas，and creative
solutions to problems.
A．Critical thinking doesn’t end.
B．It doesn’t always come naturally to us.
C．Critical thinking can’t be learned in school.
D．You should question all the provided details.
E．One easy way to do this is to keep a journal of some kind.
F．After all，thinking critically and asking questions go hand in hand.
G．Subsequently，we need to train ourselves to learn which details matter.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。批判性思维并不是与生俱来的，但是你可以训练
自己以做得更好。文章介绍了一些培养批判性思维的方法。
1．B [考查上下文衔接。根据空后一句中的 But可知，空处内容与空后句子的
内容形成对比，空后一句提到批判性思维可以通过训练来提高，故 B项“它并
不总是我们与生俱来的”符合语境。]
2．G [考查上下文衔接。本段主要讲了批判性思维的最重要的部分之一是明白
什么细节是重要的以及这样做的原因。故设空处应与找出重要细节有关，G项
“随后，我们需要训练自己去明白哪些细节是重要的”与上文衔接。]3．F [考查上下文衔接。根据空前一句“了解哪些细节是重要的是批判性思维
的首要部分，但是如果你不知道接下来要问什么类型的问题，它就是非常无用
的。”可知，空处应阐释批判性思维与问问题的关系，因此选F。]
4．E [考查上下文衔接。根据空后一句中的“This”可知，其需要指代上文中出
现的内容，又根据空后一句中的“casual observations or a notebook with opinions”
及“write every single day”可推知，空处内容应与此相关，E 项中的“keep a
journal of some kind”符合语境。]
5．A [考查上下文衔接。根据空后一句“你获得的知识越多，你就会变得更善
于思考它。”可知，A项“批判性思维不会停止”与下文内容衔接。]

Ever since she received a little toy airliner as a birthday gift，Kate Korolevskaya has
been attracted by flight.From flying remote－controlled airplanes to building her own
model ones，Kate has always considered flying a plane one of her passions，but only
until recently has she been able to take that to new heights.
When Kate heard about the Upwind Scholarship from her school counselor，she knew
it was an extraordinary opportunity to realize her dream.The program’s mission is to
provide all the training necessary to obtain a private pilot’s license (PPL) for students
in between their junior and senior year of high school free of charge.
After completing a lengthy application and her subsequent acceptance into the
program，Kate began her training.Normally，recipients of the scholarship would
attend ground school in person where they learn the fundamentals of flying.Due to the
COVID－19 pandemic (大流行病)，however，Kate spent hours each weekend
studying online lessons in her room whenever she got a break from homework.Once
summer came around，Kate and three peers put in two straight weeks in ground
school，reviewing flight training from nine to five every day.“It was the toughest
part of the program，”Kate said.
After completing that portion of ground school，Kate was finally able to begin flying
at the San Carlos Airport with the other scholarship recipients from around the Bay
Area.Flying，especially for first－timers like Kate，is a hands－on process involving
lots of checklists to make sure the important tasks are being taken care of.
Now，having finished the program and earned her PPL，Kate plans on training as a
flight instructor and hopes to become an airline pilot in her future.
She credits the Upwind Scholarship with all she’s been able to accomplish so far and
hopes that anyone who shares her passion will look into it.“It is a very hard
scholarship to get into，and you have to be truly interested in flight，”Kate said.“ It
can’t be something like ‘Oh，why don’t I try flying this summer？’You have to beready to do a lot of work and put in effort in order to succeed in the program.”

What about your emotions ？How do they help you to understand what you are
reading?
In Jane Yolen’s Owl Moon，a girl explores with her father on a snowy night.She
longs for this special night.And she’s amazed when she sees an owl.Have you felt
longing before？Amazement？Well，if you have，it helps you have a sense ofagreement.When we can put ourselves inside a story we can understand it better.Our
brain tells us，“Oh，this girl’s experience is a bit like mine.”We can relate to
her.But this skill is not born in us.So young kids have to learn it.
Pictures and images help young readers to understand and recognize feelings.Readers
feel joy when seeing the smiling faces of friends.They feel fear when turning the page
to find a scary monster.They are just pictures，but the feelings are real.This skill，to
understand the thinking and feeling of others，is what researchers call “theory of
mind”．
For example，think about the faces of people and animals in stories—the Big Bad
Wolf’s scary teeth，the “o” shape of a surprised character’s mouth，or big，wide
eyes like the girl’s in Owl Moon.By noticing the faces，readers can start to figure out
what it feels like to be that character.And that helps to figure out how people feel and
think in real life.
But most young readers don’t go into deep，scary woods.And some may not go to the
beach or play basketball.In the book Yo！Yes？，two kids meet and play ball.The kids
start the story on opposite pages.But as the story goes on，they get closer until they
are together.Some young readers might not play basketball，but they can read the
clues on the page to figure out how the kids are feeling.And some readers might not
like the game ，but they can feel excited for the characters because of how the
characters look and move.

a story we can understand it better.”可知答案为D。]
9．Which of the following might help readers develop “theory of mind”？
A．True feelings. B．Smiling faces.
C．Picture books. D．Reading skills.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据题干中的“theory of mind”定位至第三段，根据第
三段首句及尾句可知，能理解他人的想法和感觉的能力被称为心智理论，而图画
和图像能帮助年幼的读者理解并识别感觉，故 C项“图画书”能帮助读者发展
心智理论。]

The first set of Chinese stories presented in English scripts (剧本)，titled Stories of
China：Performed in English，was officially published by Foreign Languages
Press.Planned by the New Channel International Education Group with the
participation of playwrights from China，the United Kingdom and the United States，
the book provides a new way for young people to learn English while inheriting (继承)
and spreading Chinese culture.
The book contains 20 English scripts in novel formats covering a wide range of
subjects.Unlike the most common English scripts for young readers on the market
which are based on adaptations of European and American stories ，those scripts
presented in this book are unique for being based on classic Chinese stories ，
readapted and written in English.The book is divided into three grades in terms of
grammar and vocabulary difficulty，making it suitable for young English learners

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文，主要介绍了几种帮我们找到自己的爱好和激情的
方法。
1．D [考查上下文衔接。空前一句讲到了“别担心”，空后一句讲到了“跟随
这些例子，找出你真正喜欢的东西，追求你的激情！”因此空处讲到的应该是一
句安慰性的话，故D项符合语境。]
2．F [考查上下文衔接。根据本段的中心句“集思广益，找出让你感到满意和
有意义的活动。”可知，本段主要会讲一些活动，再结合空后一句“这可能包括
你的爱好、你的工作职责或任何其他让你开心的事情。”可知，空处讲的应该是与一些活动有关的内容，故F项符合语境。]
3．B [考查段落主旨句。本段主要讲了虽然你的兴趣可能差别很大，但是它们
可能与一种你起初没注意到的更深层次的激情相连接，故 B项“在你的兴趣当
中寻找共同主题”适合作本段的主旨句。]
4．G [考查上下文衔接。根据空前一句“事实上有时你甚至不必擅长某事来激
发你的激情。”可知，空处讲的应该是只要你喜欢做这项活动，你仍然可以对它
充满激情，故G项符合语境。]
5．E [考查上下文衔接。空前一句讲到了“当你需要完成一项你害怕的活动时，
你很容易感到悲观”，而空后一句讲到了“甚至当你在做一些你不喜欢的事情时，
也要把它当作一个学习的机会”，因此空处应该与悲观导致的后果有关，故E项
符合语境。]
