2023年全国乙卷英语真题
If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you
cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for
most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many
literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that,
but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps
the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English
side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only
a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what
was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written
reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or
deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often
have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of
Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most
powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider
contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily
twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not justthe texts, but the objects.
4．Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?
A． How Maps Tell Stories of the World B． A Short History of Australia
C． A History of the World in 100 Objects D． How Art Works Tell Stories
2023年新课标全国Ⅱ卷英语真题
Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in
almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout
history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books
and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections
between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book
as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses —
absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds
of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of
the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in
their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the
raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page
outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as
any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages
parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly
networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance
of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.
5．Where is the text most probably taken from?
A．An introduction to a book. B．An essay on the art of writing.
C．A guidebook to a museum. D．A review of modern paintings.

2022年全国乙卷英语真题
In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N. Y. — Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond
Underwood — traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had
gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children
whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted:
The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and
Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter.
Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had
undertaken.
They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of
snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the
schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.
In Wickenden’s book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course
influenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which
entailed (牵涉) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and
Dorothy’s return to Auburn.
Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the people move her to
some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: “When
the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was
marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.”
15．What is the text?
A．A news report. B．A book review. C．A children’s story. D．A diary entry.

The United States rose to global power on the strength of its technology, and the lifeblood that technology has
long been electricity. By providing long-distance communication and energy, electricity created the modem world.Yet properly understood, the age of electricity is merely the second stage in the age of steam, which began a
century earlier.
"It is curious that no one has put together a history of both the steam and electric revolutions." writes Maury
Klein in his book The Power Makers, Steam, Electricity, and the Men Invented Modern America. Klein, a noted
historian of technology, spins a narrative so lively that at times it reads like a novel.
The story begins in the last years of the 18th century in Scotland, where Watt perfected "the machine that
changed the world". Klein writes, "America did not invent the steam engine, but once they grasped its passwords
they put it to more uses than anyone else. "
Meanwhile, over the course of 19th century, electricity went from mere curiosity to a basic necessity. Morse
invented a code for sending messages over an electromagnetic circuit. Bell then gave the telegraph a voice. Edison
perfected an incandescent bulls that brought electric light into the American home.
Most importantly, Edison realized that success depended on mass electrification, which he showed in New
York City. With help from Tesla, Westinghouse's firm developed a system using alternating current, which soon
became the major forms of power delivery.
To frame his story, Klein creates the character of Ned, a fictional witness to the progress brought about by the
steams and electric revolutions in America during one man's lifetime. It's a technique that helps turn a long
narrative into an interesting one.

Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night
in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of
things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveler spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The
Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong
offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where Bangkok people eat, work and live every
day. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace
in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi—if you want to spend hours stuck in
traffic jams—but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites,
catch an express boat or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya River and the canals. For the modern part of the city,
the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the
famous Chatuchak street market.
What to do
After you’ve seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand
Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even
touch a snake yourself if you want to!
27．Where can the text be found?

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea
and run with it, using stand up comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma (创伤) and anxiety in partnership
with the National Health Service (NHS).
The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at Bristol University. She found
that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient (有适应力的) they were thanks to stand up
comedy.
Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling
with trauma in January 2022. Following the success of this initial course, Comedy on Referral won NHS funding
to help men with trauma in London.
Talking to the Bristol Post, Belcher said, “Past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from
the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. People who’ve been
through big life experiences such as losing a loving one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their story, mostly
because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol—the
stress hormone—and increasing endorphins (内啡肽). It can even have physiological benefits, although less
research has been done in this area. Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain
tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular benefits. More research is needed to prove these findings.
Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using comedy to treat
mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.

London, with countless famous sites and all manner of food, drink, shopping, history, and culture, is definitely
a wonderful city to visit.
Time Zone
Greenwich Mean Time during the winter, British Summer Time during the rest of the year (starting at Daylight
Saving Time).
Best Time to Go
The best time to visit London overall is in spring, when the temperatures have warmed up, the sun has started
to shine and London’s gardens and parks are looking their best. However, the reality is that the best time to travel to
London depends a lot on what you’re looking for. If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d
better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas
markets and traditional cheer.
Things to Know
Londoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than
Americans do while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking
about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might consider it impolite or strange. Don’t
mistake this for unfriendliness ;it’s just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows,
books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.
How to Get Around
Getting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The
Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, are paid in
zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It’s worth getting an Oyster card to
make your life that much simpler.
