Passage 1 (2021新高考Ⅰ,A)话题:旅社介绍 难度:易 词数:315
Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel(旅

Passage 1 (2022浙江1月,A)话题:人与自我 难度:中 词数:364
For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport
specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机) in the late
2000s. The downturn hit the real estate(房地产) firm where she had worked for ten
years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job.
One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly
lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving
home for sure, but 1,600 miles away. It didn't take long for Merebeth to decide to
drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job.
Merebeth's pet delivery service satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to
every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she
wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She
travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy
flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.
This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. He moved their family
from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to
explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home
to live on Catalina Island off the California coast, away from her parents, where she北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30,000 per year
before tax. She doesn't work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the
animals in the car, even with air conditioning. As autumn comes, she gets restless—
the same old wanderlust returning. It's a call she must handle alone, though.
Merebeth says, “When I'm on the road I'm just in my own world. I've always been
independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I must help animals.”
1.Why did Merebeth change her job?
A.She wanted to work near her home.
B.She was tired of working in the office.
C.Her sister asked her to move to Denver.
D.Her former employer was out of business.
2.The word “wanderlust” in paragraph 2 means a desire to .
A.make money
B.try various jobs
C.be close to nature
D.travel to different places
3.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job?
A.She has chances to see rare animals.
B.She works hard throughout the year.
C.She relies on herself the whole time.
D.She earns a basic and tax-free salary.

The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In
around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet
tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry
compared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan's desire
for a good view and a comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities(容量)
slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of
thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World
Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as
updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the
biggest events in world sport.

Leslie Nielsen's childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular

respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career(职业)in acting. Even
though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward,
gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television
appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful
actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a
number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, what he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he
should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in
dramatic roles. It wasn't until 1980—32 years into his career—that he landed the
role it would seem he was made for in Airplane!. That movie led him into the second
half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial
success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career?Yes and no. He was thrilled to be
doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years,
he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be
just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen's devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely
successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He
showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版

Passage 4 (2020北京,B)话题:人物故事 难度:中 词数:349
Baggy has become the first dog in the UK—and potentially the world—to join the
fight against air pollution by recording pollutant levels near the ground.
Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements
close to the ground. Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
closer to ground level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young
kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems.
Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about
nine feet in the air. However, since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child
in a pushchair (婴儿车), she frequently records pollution levels which are much
higher than the data gathered by the Environment Agency.
The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and
his dad Matt. The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-
thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they
are recorded by the agency. Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the
government in an attempt to emphasise that babies are at higher risk of developing
asthma (哮喘).
Matt Hunt said he was “very proud” of his son because “when the boy gets an idea,
he keeps his head down and gets on with it, and he really does want to do some good and
stop young kids from getting asthma.”
“Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age,” Matt
added. “He became very interested in gadgets (小装置). About one year ago, he got
this new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to
do some monitoring, and he said, ‘why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her
monitor the pollution?' So we did it.”
Tom said, “Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of
the time she is a super dog, and we are all really proud of her.”
1.With a monitor on her collar, Baggy can .
A.take pollutant readings
B.record pollutant levels
C.process collected data
D.reduce air pollution
2.What can we learn from the Baggy data?
A.High places are free of air pollution.
B.Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
C.Conventional monitors are more reliable.
D.Air is more polluted closer to the ground.
3.What is Tom's purpose of doing the research?
A.To warn of a health risk.
B.To find out pollution sources.
C.To test his new monitor.
D.To prove Baggy's abilities.
4.According to the passage, which word can best describe Tom Hunt?
A.Modest. B.Generous.

Top Four Marathons
Portland Marathon
The marathon welcomes 8,000 people every fall. It's a great event for first-
timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to
cross the finish line. The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of 15
minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time limit.
They promise you'll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you
have to finish using the sidewalks.
TCS New York City Marathon
As the world's biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over
50,000 people to the Big Apple each November. The time limit is generous eight and a
half hours, but participants must move to the sidewalk if they drop below a 15-minute
mile. The famous course snakes through five boroughs(行政区)of the city and crosses
five bridges and ends in Central Park.

with finish line services officially open until 2:00 pm. However, the organizers
allow everyone to finish and have waiters on hand until 4:00 pm.
Boston Marathon
The marathon is held in April every year. For this event, running isn't allowed
as the city streets aren't closed off. Participants must instead make their way along
sidewalks under the guidance of event organizers and city police. The event attracts
over 8,000 people who can choose anything from a three-mile walk to the full 26.2-
mile Boston Marathon route.

Passage 1 (2022届济南外国语学校11月月考,A)话题:人物故事 难度:易 词数:
297
The idea of getting a tattoo (文身) copy popped into Prue's head when he noticed
that his 8-year-old son refused to take his shirt off in the swimming pool. Prue
realized that his son was starting to be aware of his birthmark, which covers a huge
part of his chest.
Prue secretly went to a tattoo shop. The tattoo he wanted had to be identical to
his son's birthmark, so they had to do it in nine sessions. “The first sitting was
close to four hours. And I didn't really look to see what was going on,” said Prue. “So
I thought at the end of the four hours it was done. So I asked, ‘Is it almost done?’ And
he said, ‘I'm almost done with the outline.’”
It has been a bit of a process for Prue as well as a painful experience. Because
of the size and the position of the birthmark he was trying to copy, he had to suffer a
lot of pain. Tony Gibert, the tattoo artist, said that the area has very sensitive
nerve endings which gave Prue so much discomfort and undesirable sensations. Painful
hours added up to nearly thirty hours in total.
In a video where the son saw his dad's tattoo, he can be heard saying, “That's
cool.” This time, without any hesitation, he took off his shirt and jumped in the
swimming pool. Apparently, his dad's action changed his perspectives, which made him
feel confident again. As expected, Prue's son was so happy to see it but also a little
confused, not expecting his dad would do it.
Despite all the pain and long hours of waiting, Prue never felt discouraged. What
mattered to him was to make his son happy and help bring back his self-confidence.
1.Where was Prue's tattoo?
A.On the face.
B.On the neck.
C.On the chest.
D.On the leg.
2.How long did Prue spend on the tattoo in all?北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
A.About four hours.
B.About twelve hours.
C.About twenty hours.
D.About thirty hours.

Passage 2 (2022届广东深圳统考,B)话题:人物报道 难度:中 词数:356
A former UPS driver and his wife have made history by donating $20 million to
Morgan State University—the largest gift Historically Black Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs) have ever received from a former student. The money, pledged by
Calvin Tyler Jr and his wife Tina, will fund scholarships that were established under
the Tylers' name in 2002.
Tyler grew up in a low-income family and was forced to drop out of Morgan State
University in 1963 because he could no longer afford to study. The following year,
Tyler saw a job advertisement in a Baltimore newspaper from United Parcel Service and
got a job with the company as a driver. He rose through the ranks during his 34-year
career at the global shipping company to become its senior vice president of US
operations and a member of the board of directors before retiring in 1998.
Tyler and his wife, also a Baltimore native, have lived all across the country
but he said they have never forgotten their humble beginnings.
Their latest pledge follows a $5 million commitment they made in 2016 for the
fund, which to date has supported 222 students with full or partial scholarships.
Marybeth Gasman, a professor at Rutgers University who studies HBCUs, said the
gift is significant because public HBCUs like Morgan State University tend to have a
lower alumni giving rate compared to private ones.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
“For a long time, they weren't asking alumni to give,” she said. But that has
changed in the past couple of decades, she added, and the schools have “started
asking alumni to give and creating a culture of philanthropy (慈善) on campus.”

Passage 3 (2021新高考八省一模,B)话题:艺术 难度:中 词数:336
In Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual
musical instrument, the glass harp(竖琴). A glass harp is made up of different-sized
drinking glasses, each filled with water.
Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing
so, each glass makes a different musical sound. Visitors to Alexandria like what they
see and hear. They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations.
Jamey Turner is 80 years old. Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at
the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner
table. He has been playing it for about 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a
wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them
from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create
different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the
sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water
produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glasses because it sounds better than costly
crystal(水晶玻璃) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses,
he will test them in stores. He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his
finger over the top of them.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart
wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written
just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from
China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube. He hopes the next generation
will continue making its music.
1.What do visitors think of Jamey Turner's performance?
A.Boring. B.Attractive.
C.Special. D.Common.
2.How can Jamey Turner change the sounds of the glasses?
A.By beating the glasses in different parts.
B.By placing the glasses on a wooden board.
C.By adding or reducing water in the glasses.
D.By holding different glasses with rubber bands.
3.What may be Jamey Turner's real worry about the glass harp?
A.Little music is written for the instrument.
B.People are trying to play the instrument online.
C.Few people are playing the instrument these days.
D.The instrument cannot produce some beautiful sounds.
4.What is the best title for this text?
A.Making Music by Playing Glasses
B.Special Sounds from Glasses
C.Devotion to Playing Glasses for Fun
D.Fingers over the Top of Glasses

Passage 4 (2020山东日照校际联考,B)话题:环境保护 难度:中 词数:330
Parker Stewart, a 16-year-old from Sayre School, a college preparatory school in
the United States, knew last year that he wanted his independent study on the
environment to have a broad impact on the community. In order to “reduce the carbon北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
footprint”, Parker planned to produce enough solar energy to power the school's
science labs. Now his plan is set to happen. The installation of 30 solar panels is
scheduled for late January.
As he began his research on solar energy, he discovered a useful phone app. By
entering an address, he could find out how much sunlight the location receives each
day. Based on how much sunlight it receives, he found that his school building was
the desired position.
At the suggestion of his science teacher, Debbie Wheeler, Parker first performed
an energy audit(审计)of the science lab to see how much energy a typical lab uses per
day. Then, he started his research, contacting a local installer of solar panels,
Synergy Home, to do the job.
Parker lacked money for launching the project, so he convinced the Head of Sayre
School to fund him after explaining the benefits of solar power for the school and
community. Since Sayre School offered the initial seed money to provide supplies and
the purchase of one panel, the project has grown to include a total of 30 panels. They
are expected to generate enough energy to run all four of the science labs on campus.
“It feels like a dream to think that the idea which resulted from my AP
Environmental Science would have this kind of impact,” said Parker, expressing
gratitude for Debbie's help.
Debbie said the success of the project was due to Parker's efforts and
willingness to follow through with the project from start to finish.
“I've had other students talk about environmental initiatives on campus, but
Parker had the persistence to make it happen,” she said.
1.How did the app help Parker start his project?
A.To find an ideal location.
B.To conduct an energy audit.
C.To look up specific information.
D.To introduce financial aid.
2.Who invested in Parker's project at the beginning?
A.Sayre School. B.His parents.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
C.Synergy Home. D.His community.
3.What inspired Parker to do his project?
A.The phone app he discovered.
B.The air pollution in his community.
C.A suggestion from his science teacher.
D.An idea from his AP Environmental Science.
4.What contributed to Parker's success according to Debbie?
A.His wisdom. B.His bravery.
C.His willpower. D.His independence.

Passage 2 (2022届济南外国语学校11月月考,C)话题:环境保护 难度:中 词数:
319
The green movement is catching on in many areas of the world. This is especially
true in the construction industry. Today's buzzwords, which include global warming
and zero emissions, are causing people to look for ways to reduce their carbon
footprint. Purchasing an environmentally friendly home is a good investment for
those who care about their own health and the well-being of our planet. Based on this
trend, entire districts, known as eco-communities, are being designed with the
concept of green in mind. One of these communities is Dockside Green in the Canadian
province of British Columbia. Its goal is to become the world's first zero-emission
neighborhood.
Dockside Green is a mostly self-sufficient community along the harbor front of
Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia. The community is home to around 2,500
people and it includes a variety of environmental features, some of which can't be
found anywhere else.
The planners and builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with
every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation(通风)and guarantee residents
clean air indoors. Building materials, such as paint and wood, are natural and green.
Energy efficiency is attached great importance in eco-communities like Dockside
Green. Not only do energy-efficient appliances reduce the environmental impact of
heating, cooking and lighting, they also save residents money. Dockside Green claims
that home owners use 55% less energy than the average Canadian.
Eco-communities also take the future into account by recycling waste and北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
reducing carbon emissions. At Dockside Green, waste water is treated and reused on-
site for flushing toilets, and a gas plant changes waste wood into a renewable form
of gas for hot water systems, stoves and gas heaters. The community also reduces
carbon emissions by using local suppliers for all their transport and maintenance
( 维 修 ) needs, and residents are encouraged to join the community's car share
program.
1.Who are likely to buy an environmentally friendly home?
A.People interested in investment.
B.Those looking for carbon footprints.
C.Those concerned about their health.
D.People caring about their community.
2.Dockside Green is .
A.an eco-community with over 2,500 people
B.a good investment for planners and builders
C.the world's first zero-emission neighborhood
D.a mostly self-sufficient community in British Columbia
3.Dockside Green saves its residents money by .
A.recycling waste and reducing carbon emissions
B.encouraging people to join the car share program
C.calling on people to reduce their carbon footprint
D.equipping people with energy-efficient appliances
4.Who will most likely support the development of eco-communities?

Passage 3 (2021广州六区教学质检一,C)话题:科学与技术 难度:中 词数:287
As spring arrives, farmers around the world are making decisions about what
crops to plant and how to manage them. In the U.S., farmers typically have big data to
help make these decisions. These data have a clear upside. They make farms more
productive. In the U.S., the past five years have seen a series of good harvests for
both corn and soybeans. A big part is generated by effectively using data to produce
more food from the same amount of land, seeds and fertilizers.
In the poorer parts of the world, however, the picture is much different. Many
farmers are guided only by their history with the land and their community's
traditions. Their skills and knowledge are impressive, but they suffer from a
poverty of data. They rely on technical advisors for advice from governments and
academic centers who often have very little knowledge of the local area. For seeds
and fertilizers and other materials used in the field, they rely on companies that
lack data on how their products will perform in the local conditions.
About 10 years ago, East African officials and their development partners
started to explore why so few smallholder dairy farmers made profits from growing
demand from urban consumers. Surveys of farmers in the region suggested poor access
to veterinary(兽医的) care and breeding assistance. An effort to provide these
services has helped farmers get more milk.
Data would matter little if farming was easy and the paths to productivity were
obvious. But in reality, agriculture is a complex mix of many factors, including
climate, biology, chemistry, physics, economics and culture—all of which vary from
region to region. In this situation, good data is necessary.
1.How has big data benefited American farmers?
A.By informing the farmers to plant crops earlier.
B.By helping make farms more productive.
C.By increasing the amount of land for farming.
D.By producing more seeds and fertilizers.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
2.What do farmers in poor countries need to improve their farming?
A.Farming skills.
B.Technical guidance.
C.Big data.
D.Farming materials.
3.Why does the writer mention the case of East Africa?
A.To show that East Africa relies heavily on diary farming.
B.To illustrate cooperation between countries was a great success.
C.To serve as an example of how data helps farmers in poor areas.
D.To prove that city people in East Africa didn't like drinking milk.
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Many changeable factors have influence on farming.
B.East African dairy farmers were experienced in raising cows.
C.The American farmers can't decide what they will plant.
D.The technical advisors in poor areas know the local areas well.

Passage 4 (2020河北衡水中学调研,C)话题:科学研究 难度:中 词数:284
Could the device, smartphone or PC, which you're using affect the moral
decisions you make when using it? To test it, researchers presented multiple
dilemmas to a sample set of 1,010 people. The participants were assigned a device at
random.
One case of the questions participants were asked is the classic “trolley (有轨
电车)problem”: A runaway trolley is headed towards five people tied up on a set of
train tracks. You can do nothing, resulting in the deaths of five people, or push a北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
man off a bridge, which will stop the trolley. The practical response is to kill one
man to save five lives, which 33.5 percent of smartphone users chose, compared to
22.3 percent of PC users.
“What we found in our study is that when people used a smartphone to view classic
moral problems, they were more likely to make more unemotional, reasonable decisions
when presented with a highly emotional dilemma,” Dr Albert Barque-Duran, the lead
author of the study, told City University of London. “This could be due to the
increased time pressure often present with smartphones and also the increased
psychological distance which can occur when we use such devices compared to PCs.”
As for why the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the
fact that our social lives, work and even shopping take place online, it is important
to think about how the contexts where we typically face moral decisions and are asked
to engage in moral behavior have changed, and the impact this could have on the
hundreds of millions of people who use such devices daily.” It's clear that we need
more research on how our devices affect our moral decision making because we're using
screens at an ever-increasing rate.
1.Why did the author mention the trolley problem?
A.To introduce a difficult problem to readers.
B.To introduce the aim of carrying out the study.
C.To show an example of the questions in the study.
D.To show the difficulty in dealing with dilemmas.
2.How do the smartphone users of the study behave in dealing with emotional dilemmas?
A.Calmly. B.Cruelly.
C.Hesitantly. D.Enthusiastically.
3.Dr Barque-Duran believes that compared with PCs, smartphones .
A.help people bear more pressure
B.help people make decisions quicker
C.make people feel more mentally distant
D.make people stay happier to solve problems
4.What can we infer from the text?
A.Shopping online has a great effect on making moral decisions.北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2023版《5年高考3年模拟》A版
B.The people using smartphones are more than those using PCs.
C.People who often use smartphones or PCs always meet with dilemmas.
D.It is common for people to be involved in making moral decisions in daily life.
