The 4 Best Places to Visit in New Mexico
New Mexico,known as the Land of Enchantment,offers visitors rich
historical,cultural,and natural experiences.From the Chihuahuan Desert to the Taos Ski
Valley at 9,000 ft above sea level,this state has diverse landscapes and activities for everyone.
Rio Grande
The river section between Taos and Española is perfect for white-water rafting(漂
流),with many companies offering adventure trips.South of the river,between Albuquerque
and Socorro,visitors can enjoy peaceful floating and kayaking.Several wineries along the
river welcome visitors.
Madrid
A great day-trip destination between Santa Fe and Albuquerque,Madrid is an old mining
town turned art village.Book a horseback ride at Broken Saddle Ranch,just north of
Madrid,or spend some time driving along the scenic Turquoise Trail,which runs from Cedar
Crest to Cerrillos.Just plan to be off the grid—there’s still no cell phone service in Madrid.
Ghost Ranch
Located in Abiquiu’s beautiful red-rock area,Ghost Ranch was once home to painter
Georgia O’Keeffe,which offers workshops,hiking trails,museums,and 21,000 acres of natural
space.The landscape changes with daylight,showing why many artists choose to live in
northern New Mexico.
Truth or Consequences
Yes,that’s actually the city’s name!This uniquely named city is famous for its hot
springs,which are less crowded and more affordable than other places in the state,making it
ideal for visitors who want to relax and enjoy the natural mineral waters.

主题:介绍一本著作 词数:325

Mo Wilde’s fascinating book,Free Food:Wild Plants and How to Eat Them,makes the
case for connecting with nature by finding your cuisine beyond supermarket shelves.
A couple of years ago,the thin branches of an elder(接骨木) bush inched through the
open blinds of my apartment building,gradually forming what I can only describe as a piece
of living wallpaper.Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries—reminding us who’s
boss.I thought it was fantastic,but the householder did not.A tree surgeon was called in.
Mo Wilde would have had other ideas.In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves
when cooking potatoes:they have a similar taste to parsley,a plant used as a herb in
cooking.This simple way bridges the gap that middlemen,such as supermarkets and grocery
shops,have placed between us and the natural world.“We are nature,” Wilde writes.“And
making good use of more wild food into our diets will make us more conscious of that.”
Free Food advocates for integration,not complete replacement.For instance,try using
leaves instead of tin foil for wrapping delicate food when barbecuing.Tables,like the “Wild
Spice Conversion Chart” make wild garlic look downright basic.Do you know sneezewort
produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper?Her suggestions even involve using plants for
medicinal teas and household items.Wilde’s tone is encouraging and her expertise and
experience make you trust her,and her enthusiasm makes you turn the page.
Readers whose home is their kitchen will notice that Wilde provides more ideas than
recipes.Since reading Free Food, I’ve found myself picking leaves and seeing whether I can
identify them without an app,though there is always an app that would instantly tell me what
they are.The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay attention to your surroundings
and build a relationship with nature,one plant at a time.
3
4.Why did the householder call in a tree surgeon?
A.To remove the elder branches.
B.To repair the blinds.
C.To get another elder tree planted.
D.To replace the wallpaper.
5.Where does Mo Wilde see a gap?
A.Between elder leaves and parsley.
B.Between our diets and nature gifts.
C.Between wild food and our awareness.
D.Between supermarkets and grocery shops.
6.What can the underlined word “sneezewort” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.A health-care tea.
B.A big leaf used as a package.
C.A household cleaning article.
D.A wild plant with a hot flavor.
7.What change has the author undergone after reading Free Food?
A.Falling in love with cooking.
B.Starting to collect leaves for recipes.
C.Coming into closer contact with nature.
D.Learning to draw on apps to explore plants.
Passage 3(2025 安徽芜湖二模)
主题:语言与健康 词数:347
难度:★★★★☆ 限时:7 分钟
Lots of activities are linked to better brain health in old age.Experts say regularly
speaking multiple languages may be especially beneficial by being intellectually
stimulating.In a landmark paper,researchers found that dementia(痴呆) patients who were
bilingual developed symptoms four years later,on average,than those who weren’t.“We use
language in all aspects of daily life,so a bilingual brain is constantly working,” said Mark
Antoniou,an associate professor at Western Sydney University.
However,despite the proven benefits of language learning for brain health,the actual
impact of learning a new language later in life on cognitive(认知的) abilities is still a subject
of ongoing research with mixed findings.Research by Dr.Antoniou and his colleagues found
that while Chinese adults aged 60 and older improved on cognition tests after a six-month
4
language-learning program,people who played games like crossword puzzles did as
well.Another small study found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months
didn’t see any change in their cognition scores,but those who didn’t take the lessons saw their
scores decline.Two recent studies found virtually no difference in cognitive performance after
people took part in language-learning programs.
The scientists who conducted those studies offered a few potential explanations for their
disappointing results.One is that the participants were highly motivated volunteers,who may
have already been at peak performance for their age,making it hard to see any
improvements.Another is about the language programs.“The studies looking into the issue
have used language lessons that were very different in their length,” said Judith Grossman,a
researcher.Some studies involved teaching participants for six months,while others for just
one very intense week.
To Dr.Antoniou,the findings are not entirely surprising.“No one would say that learning
a new language for six months would be the same as having used two languages for your
entire life,” he said.“Therefore,it’s ideal to get the ball rolling in childhood to maximize its
ability to improve cognitive function throughout life.”
8.How does speaking various languages offer benefits?
A.By keeping the brain active.
B.By relieving mental symptoms.
C.By improving one’s intelligence.
D.By increasing language fluency.
9.What do the studies show about language learning in paragraph 2?
A.It doesn’t show consistent cognitive improvement.
B.It is more effective than playing crossword puzzles.
C.It prevents the decline of old people’s mental health.
D.It fails to bring any cognitive benefit to older Italians.
10.Why did the results in some language-learning studies turn out disappointing?
A.Researchers used outdated teaching materials.
B.Volunteers were already at their age’s cognitive peak.
C.The language courses focused on irrelevant vocabulary.
D.Participants lacked motivation to learn a new language.
11.What might be Antoniou’s suggestion?
A.Examining scientific findings critically.
5
B.Finding more ways to enhance cognition.
C.Studying a new language from an early age.
D.Learning essential skills throughout childhood.

Passage 1
【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了新墨西哥州最值得一游的4 个地方。
1.A 细节理解题。Rio Grande 部分中的“The river section between Taos and Española
is perfect for white-water rafting,with many companies offering adventure trips.South of the
river,between Albuquerque and Socorro,visitors can enjoy peaceful floating and kayaking.”
提到在Rio Grande,游客可以体验激流漂流(white-water rafting)、平静的泛舟(peaceful
floating)和皮划艇(kayaking),均属于水上运动(water sports)。
2.C 细节理解题。根据Ghost Ranch 部分中的 “Located in Abiquiu’s beautiful red-
rock area,Ghost Ranch was once home to painter Georgia O’Keeffe,which offers
workshops,hiking trails,museums,and 21,000 acres of natural space.”可知,Ghost Ranch 提供
徒步路线(hiking trails)和自然空间,适合徒步爱好者。
3.D 推理判断题。文章标题“The 4 Best Places to Visit in New Mexico”和内容结构(推
荐景点、活动及特色)符合旅游指南的特点。

分析:本句为主从复合句。which are less crowded and more affordable than
other places in the state 为which 引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词hot
springs;making it ideal for visitors who want to relax and enjoy the natural
mineral waters 为现在分词短语作状语,who want to relax and enjoy the
natural mineral waters 为who 引导的定语从句,修饰先行词visitors。
译文:这个名字独特的城市以其温泉而闻名,与该州其他地方相比,这里的
温泉不那么拥挤,价格也更便宜,是想放松身心、享受天然矿泉水的游客的
理想之选。
Passage 2
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Mo Wilde 的著作,倡导通过寻觅野生植
物来打破现代社会与自然的隔阂。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第二段“A couple of years ago,the thin branches of an elder bush
inched through the open blinds of my apartment building,gradually forming what I can only
7
describe as a piece of living wallpaper.Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries—
reminding us who’s boss.I thought it was fantastic,but the householder did not.A tree surgeon
was called in.”可知,一棵接骨木的细枝伸进了房间,作者把它看作是“活墙纸”,但是房
主不这么认为,叫来了树木修整专家,由此推知叫来树木修整专家是为了移除接骨木的细
枝,故选A 项。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In Free Food,she suggests using elder leaves when
cooking potatoes:they have a similar taste to parsley,a plant used as a herb in cooking.This
simple way bridges the gap that middlemen,such as supermarkets and grocery shops,have
placed between us and the natural world.”可知,Mo Wilde 建议使用接骨木叶子替代欧芹,这
样就弥合了我们和自然之间的鸿沟,所以她看到了在我们的饮食和自然界的礼物之间的
鸿沟,故选B 项。
6.D 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Wild Spice Conversion Chart”和下文“produces a
similar taste to Sichuan pepper”可知,sneezewort 的味道和四川花椒差不多,由此推知
sneezewort 指的是“一种有辣味的野生植物”,故选D 项。
7.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Since reading Free Food, I’ve found myself picking
leaves and seeing whether I can identify them without an app,though there is always an app
that would instantly tell me what they are.The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay
attention to your surroundings and build a relationship with nature,one plant at a time.”可知,
读完Free Food,作者与大自然有了更亲密的接触,故选C 项。
易错点拨:本题易错选B 项。选项B 的“collect leaves”与原文“picking leaves”部分匹配,
容易误导考生忽略后半句的“for recipes”。作者提到自己开始采摘叶子并尝试辨认
(picking leaves and seeing whether I can identify them),但并未明确说明是为了“食
谱”(for recipes)。书中倡导的是通过采集建立与自然的联系(build a relationship with
nature),而非单纯为了烹饪。

Passage 3
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是学习多种语言对老年人认知健康
的影响及相关研究结果,探讨了双语能力与大脑健康的关联性。
8.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Experts say regularly speaking multiple languages
may be especially beneficial by being intellectually stimulating.”以及“‘We use language
in all aspects of daily life,so a bilingual brain is constantly working,’said Mark Antoniou,an
associate professor at Western Sydney University.”可知,经常说多种语言通过刺激智力,让
大脑不断工作,也就是让大脑保持活跃来提供益处。
9.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Research by Dr.Antoniou and his colleagues found
that while Chinese adults aged 60 and older improved on cognition tests after a six-month
language-learning program,people who played games like crossword puzzles did as
well.Another small study found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months
didn’t see any change in their cognition scores,but those who didn’t take the lessons saw their
scores decline.Two recent studies found virtually no difference in cognitive performance after
people took part in language-learning programs.”可知,有的研究表明60 岁及以上的中国成
年人在六个月的语言学习后认知水平有提高,玩填字游戏的人的认知水平也有提高,有的
研究发现上四个月英语课的意大利老人认知分数无变化,还有的研究发现参加语言学习
项目后认知表现几乎无差异。由此推知,语言学习对认知的改善并不一致。
10.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中 “One is that the participants were highly motivated
volunteers,who may have already been at peak performance for their age,making it hard to
see any improvements.”可知,一些语言学习研究结果令人失望的一个原因是参与者是积
极性很高的志愿者,他们可能已经达到了其年龄的认知巅峰,所以很难看到任何改善。
11.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “‘No one would say that learning a new language
for six months would be the same as having used two languages for your entire life,’ he
said.‘Therefore,it’s ideal to get the ball rolling in childhood to maximize its ability to improve
cognitive function throughout life.’”可知,Antoniou 认为学习六个月新语言和一生使用两
9
种语言不一样,所以理想的状况是一个人在童年时期就开始学习新语言,以最大限度地提
高其在一生中改善认知功能的能力。由此推知,Antoniou 建议从小学习一门新语言。
