答案
[语篇解读]本文是应用文,主题语境为人与社会,主要介绍了在阿姆斯特丹租
用自行车出去旅行的相关事宜。
1. B 细节理解题。根据题干关键词 an advantage of MacBike 可定位到第二
段。根据“With over 2,500 bikes stored in our five rental shops at strategic
locations, we make sure there is always a bike available for you.”可知,在重
要地段有五家可以出租自行车的店铺,有超过 2,500辆自行车(而非店铺,可
排除D项)。由第二段最后一句中的 in a wide variety可知,MacBike提供了
很多种自行车供游客选择。故选B。A、C两项文中未提及。
2. C 细节理解题。本题问价格,可定位到表格部分。根据题干关键词 a bike
with hand brake and three gears可定位到表格第二列。一辆有手刹和三排挡的
自行车租一天需要14.75欧元,每增加一天需额外支付8欧元,由此可知,一辆
有手刹和三排挡的自行车租两天的价格是14.75+8=22.75欧元。故选C。
3. D细节理解题。根据题干关键词the guided city tour可定位到最后一段。根
据“The tour departs from Dam Square...”可知,旅游团从Dam Square出发。
故选D。

02-2023新课标Ⅰ,B
When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his
house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example,
often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny
creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process
could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went
back to
observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful
bacteria(细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With
the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean
up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an
eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from
some sludge(污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks
connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and
brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and
waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another
and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the
ecomachine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it
had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a
greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage(污水) from 1,600 homes in South
Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou,
机密资料 请勿外传 3 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on
Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put
organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let
these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
1. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?
A. He was fond of traveling.
B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He had an inquiring mind.
D. He longed to be a doctor.
2. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A. To feed the animals.
B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants.
D. To test the eco-machine.
3. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?
A. To review John’s research plans.
B. To show an application of John’s idea.
C. To compare John’s different jobs.
D. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
4. What is the basis for John’s work?
A. Nature can repair itself.
B. Organisms need water to survive.
C. Life on Earth is diverse.
D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.
答案
[语篇解读]本文是记叙文,主题语境是自然科学研究成果,主要讲述了约翰·托
德(John Todd)自孩童时代就对自然生态感兴趣,致力于此方面研究并应用于
实践的经历。
1. C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的 explore、started to wonder 和第二段中的
studying、went back to observing、asking questions可以推断出,约翰·托德自
孩童时代就喜欢探究和质疑。故选C。inquiring意为“爱探索的,好奇的”。
2. D推理判断题。本题问的是John把污泥放进水箱的目的。根据第二段最后一
句可知,John决定建造一个生态箱(eco-machine)。第三段主要讲述了John的
机密资料 请勿外传 4 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
实验过程(把污泥放进水箱里并观察)。第四段描述实验结果——这个生态箱
里的动植物把污泥当成食物吃了。由此可推断出,John把污泥放进水箱的目的
是测试他研制的生态箱。故选D。
3. B推理判断题,考查写作目的。根据题干关键词 Fuzhou可定位到第五段。根
据“John has taken on many big jobs”可知,John 已经承担了很多大型工
作。紧接着通过他的发明应用于南伯灵顿和福州的例子来说明他的想法在实践
中的应用(application)。故选B。
4. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Then you let these new systems
develop their own ways to self-repair”可知John的研究依据是自然可以进行自
我修复。故选A。
长难句
With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could
clean up waste the way nature did.
译文 他认为,如果让动植物和谐共生,或许他就能以大自然的方式清理废物。
分析 the way nature did是方式状语从句,意为“以……方式”,相当于in the
way that nature did。
03-2023新课标Ⅰ,C
The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism,
including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to
teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it's right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the
philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of
the forces that are making so many people's digital lives increasingly
intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism
philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this
philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from
optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you
will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that
you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I'll guide you through carrying out your
own digital declutter. In doing so, I'll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in
which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You'll hear these
participants' stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what
机密资料 请勿外传 5 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will
help you cultivate(培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these
chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude(独处) and the
necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spend
on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices,
which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can
view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a
minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
1. What is the book aimed at?
A. Teaching critical thinking skills.
B. Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.
C. Solving philosophical problems.
D. Promoting the use of a digital device.
2. What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Clear-up. B. Add-on.
C. Check-in. D. Take-over.
3. What is presented in the final chapter of part one?
A. Theoretical models.
B. Statistical methods.
C. Practical examples.
D. Historical analyses.
4. What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part
two?
A. Use them as needed.
B. Recommend them to friends.
C. Evaluate their effects.
D. Identify the ideas behind them.
答案
[语篇解读]本文是说明文,主题语境为健康的生活方式,主要介绍了一本书,
其中包括这本书的组成部分以及各部分的内容。读这本书可以帮读者践行数字
极简主义的生活方式。
1. B细节理解题。根据题干关键词aimed at可定位到第一段中的goal。根据第
一段内容可知,这本书的目的是解释数字极简主义(make the case for digital
minimalism),包括详细探索它的要求是什么和它为什么有效,并且教你如何
机密资料 请勿外传 6 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
采用这种生活方式。其中teach you how to adopt和digital minimalism分别与
B项中的 Advocating和simple digital lifestyle相呼应。故选 B(倡导一种简单
的数字生活方式)。A项意为“教授批判性思维技巧”,C项意为“解决哲学
问题”,D项意为“推广数码设备的使用”。
2. A猜测词义题。根据画线词所在句中的冒号可知,the digital declutter就是
“my suggested method for adopting this philosophy”。this philosophy指的是
数字极简主义(digital minimalism),那么采用这种生活方式的方法也应该与
极简有关。后句是对 the digital declutter的具体阐述——30天不参加非强制的
线上活动,30天结束的时候,选择参加少量真正对你有好处的线上活动。言外
之意就是,对数字活动进行清理(Clearup)。故选A。
3. C细节理解题。根据题干关键词 the final chapter of part one可定位到第四
段。在第一部分的最后一个章节,作者会分享1,600多名参与者的故事以及具
体的策略,同时也会提醒大家可能遇到的陷阱。这些都是真实的事例(Practical
examples)。故选C。A项意为“理论模型”,B项意为“统计方法”,D项意
为“历史分析”。
4. A细节理解题。本题问的是“对于第二部分提供的具体做法,作者建议读者
怎么做?”。根据题干关键词the practices offered in part two可定位到最后一
段最后两句。核心的内容是“view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid
your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle”,即把这些具体做法当成一个工具
箱。故选A。
长难句
The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism,including a
detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you
how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it's right for you.
译文 本书的目标是解释数字极简主义,包括详细探索它的要求是什么和它为什
么有效,如果你断定它适合你的话,本书会教你如何采用这种生活方式。
分析 本句的主干是 The goal of this book is to make the case for...and...to
teach you how to...。and连接两个并列的表语,在第一个表语中,what it asks
和why it works是介词 of后两个并列的宾语从句;在第二个表语中,how to
adopt this philosophy if you decide it's right for you是“疑问词+不定式”结
构作teach的宾语,其中包含if引导的条件状语从句。

On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a
paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of
crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in
some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be
quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those
errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and
some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together,
they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are
similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each
other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that
people’s estimates be independent. If, for whatever reasons, people’s errors
become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist(转
折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when
crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a
discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from
an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained
from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more
accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to
get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion.
Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates?Did they
follow those least willing to change their minds?This happened some of the
time, but it wasn’t the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported
that they “ shared arguments and reasoned together.” Somehow, these
arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error.
Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions
remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are
enormous.
1. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The methods of estimation.
机密资料 请勿外传 8 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The causes of people’s errors.
D. The design of Galton’s experiment.
2. Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if .
A. the crowds were relatively small
B. there were occasional underestimates
C. individuals did not communicate
D. estimates were not fully independent
3. What did the follow-up study focus on?
A. The size of the groups.
B. The dominant members.
C. The discussion process.
D. The individual estimates.
4. What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies?
A. Unclear.
B. Dismissive.
C. Doubtful.
D. Approving.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是说明文,主题语境为社会热点问题,主要介绍了“群体智
慧”效应——多人对同一个对象的评估会有偏差,但平均起来会更准确。
1. B主旨要义题,考查段落大意。本段首先点明人们所犯的错误是不一样的,
然后具体说明往往有的人高估,有的人低估,但是当足够多的评估平均起来
时,评估相互抵消,会产生一个更加准确的评估结果,但是如果人们的错误相
互影响,评估的准确率就会下降。因此,第二段主要讲述了“群体智慧”效应
的潜在逻辑(underlying logic)。故选B。
2. D推理判断题。根据题干关键词Navajas’ study和the average accuracy could
increase可定位到第三段第二句。根据“when crowds were further divided into
smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these
groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent
individuals”可知,如果人群被划分成允许进行讨论的小组(允许讨论的话,评
估就不是完全独立的了),评估的平均值比同等数量的独立个体的平均值更准
确。故选D。
3. C细节理解题。根据题干关键词 the follow-up study可定位到第四段。根据
机密资料 请勿外传 9 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
“In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to
get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their
discussion.”可知,在后续的研究中,研究者努力更好地理解小组成员在讨论过
程中做了什么。故选C。
4. D推理判断题,考查作者的观点态度。根据最后一段“Although the studies
led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential
implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.”可知,作
者认为,尽管这项研究具有局限性,但是对小组讨论和决策的潜在影响是巨大
的。由此可推断出,作者对这项研究持赞成(Approving)态度。故选D。
长难句
The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into
smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these
groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent
individuals.
译文 这项研究的重要发现是,当人群被进一步划分为允许进行讨论的小组
时,这些小组的平均值比同等数量的独立个体的平均值更准确。
分析 本句中第一个that引导表语从句;when引导时间状语从句;第二个that

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work
for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who
with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four
low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills,
environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green
space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores.
“The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of
soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt
is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects
and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools,
include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection,
tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a
year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make
salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the
classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their
parents and now they’re eating differently,”Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students
get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own
vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming
effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional
control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”

答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文,主题语境为人与动植物。为了培养学生的科学
技能,提高他们的环保意识并培养健康的生活习惯,Abby Jaramillo和另一个老
师发起了一个名为Urban Sprouts的菜园子项目。这个项目启动之后,孩子们受
益颇多,他们不仅吃上了自己种的蔬菜,也慢慢爱上了自己种菜。
1. D细节理解题。本题问的是Abby Jaramillo的个人情况。根据第一段第二句
可知,Abby Jaramillo和另外一个老师启动了Urban Sprouts这个菜园子项目。
D项意为“她是Urban Sprouts项目的一个创始人”,符合题意。故选D。
2. C细节理解题。根据题干关键词 a problem facing Jaramillo定位到第二段。
根据最后两句可知,孩子们认为蔬菜、泥土和昆虫都很糟糕。最后一句提到一
些孩子一开始害怕昆虫,且兴趣都被泥土给弄没了。由此可知,最开始
Jaramillo面临的困难是孩子们不喜欢在菜园工作。故选C。
3. A推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“She adds that the program’s benefits
go beyond nutrition.”可知,这个项目的益处远不止为学生提供营养。再根据
这一段的其余内容可知,一些学生带种子回家自己种蔬菜。由此可推断,这个
机密资料 请勿外传 13 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
项目的影响是深远的(far-reaching)。predictable 可预测的;short-lived 短暂
的;unidentifiable无法辨别的。故选A。
4. C主旨要义题,考查最佳标题。文章第一段提到为了培养学生的科学技能,
提高他们的环保意识并培养健康的生活习惯,Jaramillo和另一个老师启动了一
个项目。紧接着提到了同学们本来不喜欢菜园子里的劳动,但是通过学习这个
项目里的课程,他们变成爱吃蔬菜和自己种蔬菜的人。由此可知,C项(越来
越多的蔬菜爱好者)最适合作文章标题。A项“挽救学校菜园”、B项“体验
乡村生活”以及D项“改变当地的风景”均不符合题意。故选C。
长难句
Besides,working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's
special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues.
译文 此外,在菜园里劳动似乎对 Jaramillo 的需要特殊教育的学生有镇静作
用,这些学生中的许多有情绪控制问题。

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
机密资料 请勿外传 14 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
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 21stcentury 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.
1. 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.
2. What are the selected artworks about?
A. Wealth and intellect.
B. Home and school.
C. Books and reading.
D. Work and leisure.
3. What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean?

答案
[语篇解读] 本文是说明文,主题语境为文学与艺术,主要介绍了一本书,名为
《阅读艺术:爱书之人的艺术》。该书通过呈现与图书和阅读相关的艺术作品
让爱书之人感受不同时代与文化间的联系。
1. A推理判断题,考查文章出处推断。根据第一段第一句“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.”以及
第 二 段 第 一 句 “ In this ‘ book of books,’ artworks are selected and
arranged...”可知,本文是在介绍一本关于书本的书,所以很可能节选自对一本
书的介绍。故选A。
2. C细节理解题。根据题干关键词 the selected artworks可定位到第二段第一
句。根据后面列举的具体画面“...children learning to read at home or at
school, with the book... Adults are portrayed alone...absorbed in a volume,
deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.”可知,入选的艺术作品是以
书籍和阅读为主题的。故选C。
3. A猜测词义题。These scenes(这些场景)指的是孩子们在家或学校学习阅
读以及成年人沉浸在一卷书中,陷入沉思或沉浸在片刻的休闲中。并列连词but
表示转折,前一分句说这些场景可能在数百年前被绘制,距离现在已经十分久
远,后一分句与前一分句构成转折关系,所以应表示我们现在仍然能够理解画
中描绘的那些时刻。故选A。
4. A推理判断题,考查写作目的。根据题干关键词the e-reader可定位到最后一
段。根据第二句“...the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as
interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.”可知,纸质书是古老的,但它仍然
像电子书一样具有互动性。再结合最后一句可知纸质书还能提供一个完全私人
的离线活动机会。由此可推断出纸质书并不完全过时。故选A。

As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in
urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a
pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that
are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans,
but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for
human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several
hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a
meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then
examined these submissions, coding(编码) experiences into different categories.
For example, one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the
waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at
beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a
“nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions,
half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These
include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following
an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps
people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and
机密资料 请勿外传 17 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of
water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the
park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form
of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature
interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to
protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior
author of the study.
1. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A. Pocket parks are now popular.
B. Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C. Many cities are overpopulated.
D. People enjoy living close to nature.
2. Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?
A. To compare different types of park-goers.
B. To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C. To analyze the main features of the park.
D. To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.
3. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5?
A. Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B. Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C. The same nature experience takes different forms.
D. The nature language enhances work performance.
4. What should be done before we can interact with nature according to
Kahn?
A. Language study.
B. Environmental conservation.
C. Public education.
D. Intercultural communication.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是说明文,主题语境是人与环境、人与动植物。文章通过分析
城市公园游客对自己与公园内自然环境有意义互动的描述,说明城市中的自然
环境对人们幸福健康的重要性。
1. B细节理解题。根据题干关键词at the beginning of the text可定位到文章第
一段,由最后一句中的“it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively
机密资料 请勿外传 18 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
wild”可知,要在一个城市里找到相对有自然气息的地方不容易。故选B。
2. D推理判断题。根据题干关键词 code participant submissions into categories
可定位到文章第三段第二句“They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking
them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had
with nature in the park.(他们调查了数百名公园游客,要求他们在网上提交一
份书面总结,说明他们在公园里与大自然进行的有意义的互动。)”。又由第
四段第一句和第六段第一句可知,研究者是要尝试创造一种可用的语言,让人
与自然的互动重新回到我们的日常生活中。因此,把参与者提交的描述进行分
类的目的是找到他们语言描述中的常用模式。故选D。
技巧点拨
虽然根据题干可以定位在某个段落,但有时也需要根据文章主线和关键词做出
合理推断。
3. C推理判断题。第五段的两个例子中均有 walking along,但是后面跟的宾语
却不同。由此可以推断出相同的自然体验(沿……散步)会以不同的形式呈
现。故选C。
4. B细节理解题。根据题干关键词 according to Kahn可定位到文章最后一段的
直接引语,再由“we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with
it”可知B项正确。
长难句
1.If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's
unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
译文 如果幸运的话,在你居住的地方或许会有个小型公园,但是要在一个城市
里找到相对有自然气息的地方却不容易。
分析 本句是由but连接的并列复合句。前一个分句中含有if引导的条件状语从
句和 where 引导的地点状语从句;后一个分句中 it 作形式主语,不定式 to
find...作真正的主语,其中that引导定语从句。
2.They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written
summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.
译文 他们调查了好几百位公园的游客,要求他们在网上提交一份总结,描述自
己与公园内的自然环境有意义的互动。
分析 句中 asking...是动词-ing 形式作伴随状语;they had with nature in the
park是省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰先行词a meaningful interaction。

Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The
arugula (芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast
chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner
invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula
went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much;I could have
made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food
waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this
month’s cover story. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown
away—from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to
机密资料 请勿外传 21 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other
resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem.
In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third
largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”
If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the
back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time—but
for him, it’s more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last
days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D. C., which
recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than
807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵
的) produce that otherwise would have rotted (腐烂) in fields. And the
strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in
meals down the road.
Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone
can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than
necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the
side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.
1. What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?
A. We pay little attention to food waste.
B. We waste food unintentionally at times.
C. We waste more vegetables than meat.
D. We have good reasons for wasting food.
2. What is a consequence of food waste according to the text?
A. Moral decline.
B. Environmental harm.
C. Energy shortage.
D. Worldwide starvation.
3. What does Curtin’s company do?
A. It produces kitchen equipment.
B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C. It helps local farmers grow fruits.
D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.
4. What does Curtin suggest people do?
机密资料 请勿外传 22 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A. Buy only what is needed.
B. Reduce food consumption.
C. Go shopping once a week.
D. Eat in restaurants less often.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为议论文。食物浪费就发生在不经意间,杜绝浪费至关重要,
人人有责。
1. B推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Like most of us, I try to be mindful of
food that goes to waste.”及“Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I
stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad.”
可知,作者是一位比较关注食物浪费的人,但因朋友邀请共进晚餐,导致几天
后芝麻菜变质了。由此可推知作者讲述芝麻菜的故事是想表明“我们有时会无
意地浪费食物”。
2. B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“That makes food waste an environmental
problem.”可知,食物浪费会引起环境问题,食物浪费的结果就是伤害环境。
3. D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in
Washington, D.C.,which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals...by
taking donations and collecting blemished produce that otherwise would have
rotted in fields.”可知,Curtin的公司用人们不想要的食物来做饭,将食物回收
并转化为健康的食物。
4. A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Everyone can play a part in reducing
waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly
shopping”可知,Curtin建议人们在每周的购物中不购买非必需的食物,即只买
需要的东西。

The elderly residents in care homes in London are being given hens to
look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity to reduce loneliness and
improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients
suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have
reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80yearold Ruth Xavier. She
said:“I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their
breakfast each morning before I went to school.
机密资料 请勿外传 23 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
“ I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the
morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve
gone to bed.
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their
children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them.
I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something
useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in
the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out
countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first
to embark on the project, said:“Residents really welcome the idea of the
project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and
fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said:“We are happy to be
taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a
shared interest and creative activities.”
1. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To ensure harmony in care homes.
B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research.
D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.
2. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?
A. She has learned new life skills.
B. She has gained a sense of achievement.
C. She has recovered her memory.
D. She has developed a strong personality.
3. What do the underlined words“embark on” mean in paragraph 7?
A. Improve.
B. Oppose.
C. Begin.
D. Evaluate.
4. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?
A. It is well received.

Human speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the
common “m” and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African
languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others? A ground-
breaking, five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to
new speech sounds that are now found in half the world’s languages.
More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech
sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in
the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led
by Damian Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and
why this trend arose.
They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human
adults were aligned(对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are
formed by touching the lower lip(嘴唇)to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws
changed to an overbite structure, making it easier to produce such sounds.
机密资料 请勿外传 25 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the
development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to
chew at this point. The jawbone didn’t have to do as much work and so
didn’t grow to be so large.
Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global
change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use
of “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years.
These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer
people today.
This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds
were present when human beings evolved(进化) around 300,000 years ago.
“The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since
the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds
that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like
biological change and cultural evolution,” said Steven Moran, a member of
the research team.
1. Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damian Blasi’s research
focus on?
A. Its variety.
B. Its distribution.
C. Its quantity.
D. Its development.
2. Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals?
A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.
B. They could not open and close their lips easily.
C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.
D. Their lower front teeth were not large enough.
3. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
4. What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds?
A. It is key to effective communication.
机密资料 请勿外传 26 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.
C. It is a complex and dynamic system.
D. It drives the evolution of human beings.
答案
[语篇解读]本文为说明文。一项研究表明,与饮食相关的人类咬合方式的变化
导致了新的语音的出现。
1. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Now a team of researchers led by
Damian Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and
why this trend arose.”可知Damian Blasi的研究团队发现了这一趋势产生的方
式和原因,即人类语音的发展。
2. C推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知古代成年人上下门牙是对齐的,不便发
出唇齿音,后来人类的颌变成了覆咬合结构,使得发出唇齿音更容易。故可推
知古代成年人很难发出唇齿音的原因是他们的颌构造上的不便。
3. A主旨要义题。第五段提到,在过去几千年里,“f”和“v”的使用显著增
加,但是这些声音在今天许多狩猎采集者的语言中仍然找不到。这与上文提到
的研究结果一致。通过本段第一句中的“also confirmed”以及最后一句中的
“still”可知本段主要是关于研究结果的证据。
4. C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The set of speech sounds we use has
not necessarily remained stable...the product of a complex interplay of things
like biological change and cultural evolution”可知Steven Moran认为人类使用
的语音不一定保持稳定,我们今天发现的各种语音都是诸如生物变化和文化进
化复杂的相互作用的产物,是一个复杂、动态的系统。

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new
multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them,
it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2yearold grandson on
a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to
read. It had simple words and colorful pictures—a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front
so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes(戳) the page
with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned
the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the
book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books.
His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded
with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my
storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an
outdated, lifeless thing. An antique. Like your grandfather. Well, I may be old,
but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce
audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.

There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent
little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that
didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story

答案
[语篇解读]本文为记叙文。作者在给自己的孙子读故事时感受到数码科技已经
与日常生活融为一体,同时为自己没有落伍而感到欣慰。
1. B猜测词义题。第一段中作者提出看法——对许多年轻人来说,新的多媒体
工具是很正常的,然后叙述了自己的一次经历予以佐证——孙子听作者读故事
时伸出手指猛戳书页,作者开始以为孩子出了状况,后来明白他把书当作了习
以为常的平板电脑。画线短语所在句子是文章的过渡句,其主语This指代上文
机密资料 请勿外传 30 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
提到的这一看法。结合第二段内容可推知,春节假期,作者坐在沙发上给两岁
的孙子读故事的时候,非常明确地感受到了这一点。
2. A细节理解题。根据第五段内容尤其是最后一句“He thought my storybook
was like that.”可知这个孩子把书当成了平板电脑。
3. D推理判断题。根据第六段中“Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly
challenged...even built websites.”可知作者认为自己虽然老了,但从数字角度来
说,自己还没有遭遇令人绝望的挑战。从作者列举的自己编辑视频、制作音
频、使用移动支付、甚至建立了网站等事情可知,作者认为自己在数码科技方
面还是很有能力的。
4. B推理判断题。根据文章第七段内容尤其是该段中的“There’s one notable
gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a
camera, since I have a face made for radio.”可知,作者作为记者,很少在镜
头前露面,并将其原因归结为他的脸是为电台而生的(不适合出镜)。

Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and
public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade
people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse.
Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and
taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising
sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the
chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted
(分心) driving was “only increasing, unfortunately.”
“ Big change requires big ideas,” he said in a speech last month,
referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a
distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching
back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk
driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new
device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the
scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the
机密资料 请勿外传 31 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology
could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything
else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.
“We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,”
said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on hand-held devices
by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, “people are going to
be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.”
1. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers’ texting in the
US?
A. Ineffective.
B. Unnecessary.
C. Inconsistent.
D. Unfair.
2. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out?
A. Where a driver came from.
B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going.
D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
3. What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer
to?
A. Advice.
B. Data.
C. Tests.
D. Laws.
4. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. To Drive or Not to Drive? Think Before You Start
B. Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers
D. The Next Generation Cell Phone:The Textalyzer
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。为了减少急剧上升的交通事故,纽约试图通过引入
文本分析仪(Textalyzer)来制止司机在驾车时使用手机。
机密资料 请勿外传 32 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
1. A推理判断题。根据文章第二段的主旨句“Yet the problem, by just about
any measure, appears to be getting worse.”可知,司机在驾车时使用手机这一
问题正在变得更严重,再结合下文中的“Americans are still texting while
driving...Road accidents...are now rising sharply.”可以判断出这一禁令并没有产
生什么实际效果。故选A。
2. B 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“The technology could determine
whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not
allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws.”可知,文本分析仪这一新
设备可以帮助警察弄清楚司机在驾驶中是否有使用手机的行为。故选B。
3. D猜测词义题。根据画线词下文内容可知,Félix W. Ortiz曾在2001年推动
该州禁止司机使用手持设备。他认为如果文本分析仪法案成为法律,人们会更
害怕拿起手机。画线词前的“need”与下文中的“pushed for”“becomes”均
为肯定表达,指向一致,故可推知画线词“something”指的就是下文中的
“law”。
4. B主旨要义题。文章前三段叙述了美国司机驾车时使用手机引发交通事故的
现象愈发严重,最后两段讲述了文本分析仪的工作原理并展望了相关立法完成
后的预期效果。所以 B项“边发信息边开车?小心文本分析仪”符合文章大
意。
长难句
The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or
done anything else that is not allowed under New York's handsfree driving
laws.
译文 这项技术可以确定司机刚刚是否发了短信、发了邮件或者做了纽约免提驾
驶法规不允许的其他事情。
分析 本句是一个主从复合句,whether引导宾语从句,该从句中并列连词or连
接并列谓语。that引导的定语从句修饰先行词anything else。

As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in
processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in
their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can
start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a
drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben

Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to
the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you
haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve
your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64
who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were
randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of
nonaerobic(无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a
week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic exercise under the guidance
of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group
saw remarkable improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50yearold hearts and turned the clock back to 30
or 35yearold hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much
stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump
(泵送) a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who
participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in
late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put
healthy 70 year olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and
nothing happened to them at all.”
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association,
says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to
be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which
aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
1. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band?
A. The right way of exercising.
B. The causes of a heart attack.
C. The difficulty of keeping fit.
D. The aging process of the heart.
2. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design?
A. Diet plan.
B. Professional background.
C. Exercise type.
机密资料 请勿外传 34 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
D. Previous physical condition.
3. What does Levine’s research find?
A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.
4. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest?
A. Making use of the findings.
B. Interviewing the study participants.
C. Conducting further research.
D. Clarifying the purpose of the study.
答案
[语篇解读]本文为说明文。研究发现锻炼有助于延缓心脏衰老。
1. D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“‘Think of a rubber band...and easily
broken,’...That's what happens to the heart.”可知,橡皮筋刚开始的时候很柔
韧,但放在抽屉里20年以后,会变得干燥和易碎,就像心脏一样,不锻炼就容
易老化。由此推断出,Levine借橡皮筋说明心脏老化的过程。
2. C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The first group participated in a program
of nonaerobic exercise...three times a week.”可知,第一组参加无氧运动;根
据第三段中的“The second group did highintensity aerobic exercise...a
week.”可知,第二组参加高强度的有氧运动。综上所述可知,两组的运动类型
不一样。
3. A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The second group did highintensity
aerobic exercise...a week.”可知,第二组做高强度的有氧运动;根据第三段中
的“After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart
health.”可知,第二组参与者在心脏健康方面有明显的改善。再结合第四段中
的“We took these 50yearold hearts and turned the clock back to 30 or
35yearold hearts”可知,中年(人的)心脏因为有氧运动变得更年轻。
4. C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“But the study was small and needs
to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which
aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.”可知, Nieca
Goldberg建议做进一步研究。

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on
stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page
turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can
help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the
group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the
pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break
the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous
as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you
don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music
when you have to go back to the right spot,” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can
go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for
repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has
their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to
practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I
was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from
the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said.
“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists,
although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in
the music, feeling every note, and I have to say:‘Turn, turn!’”“Robert is
the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
1. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
2. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
机密资料 请勿外传 38 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
3. What does Titterton need to practise?
A. Counting the pages.
B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects.
D. Performing in his own style.
4. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”?
A. He has very poor eyesight.
B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music.
D. He forgets to do his job.

When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America,
the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native
Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely.
Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few
decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl(水
禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly
ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and
house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息
地).
In 1934,with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act
(Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction
of migratory(迁徙的)waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival.
Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually
purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp
was designed by J.N. “ Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des
Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt
as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the
stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the
Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for
inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this
land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934,
better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more
than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program
has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever
initiated.

04-2021新高考Ⅰ,D
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of
emotional( 情 感 的 )intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional
intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be
measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental
stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional
skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far
beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that
can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately
understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best
to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential
victims.Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral
person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of
what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have
been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this
popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by
机密资料 请勿外传 42 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
employers,educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The
popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and
researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people
adaptively in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is
desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the
scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming
decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives(视角)from which to
study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on
both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
1. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
A. It can be measured by an IQ test.
B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.
C. It includes a set of emotional skills.
D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.
2. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?
A. To explain a rule.
B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a fact.
D. To make a prediction.
3. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
A. Favorable.
B. Intolerant.
C. Doubtful.
D. Unclear.
4. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional
intelligence?
A. Its appeal to the public.
B. Expectations for future studies.
C. Its practical application.
D. Scientists with new perspectives.

[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。作者主要说明了情商的概念及其作用。
1. D细节理解题。 根据第一段第二句(许多人现在把情商误解为像性格、动

机、信心、心理稳定性、乐观以及“人际交往能力”这样无法用智商测试来衡
量的一个人性格中几乎所有可取的品质。)可知答案为 D项(它指的是一个人
的积极品质)。
2. B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“ We prefer to describe emotional
intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad
purposes.”可知,作者是通过“医生”和“骗子”的例子来说明“情商可以用
于好的或坏的目的”,而不只是用于好的方面,即为了“阐明一个概念”。
3. A推理判断题。第三段内容尤其是关键信息“more beneficial”“The most
positive aspect”和“has helped”说明作者认为“情商的普及是利大于弊
的”,即“赞成的”。
4. B主旨要义题。根据最后一段的首句可知,虽然情商的持续普遍吸引力是可
取的,但我们希望这种关注能引起人们对情感的科学和学术研究的更大的兴趣。
又根据下文的“It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science
will offer new perspectives from which to study how people manage their
lives.”可知,我们希望在未来数十年,科学的进步将提供新的视角来研究人们
如何管理他们的生活。由此可知,这些是对未来研究的期望。故选B。

I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are
机密资料 请勿外传 45 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
the first tiger cubs(幼兽) that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran
cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round⁃the⁃clock
care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the
tigers arriving—but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and
watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my
wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that
there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the
day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise
they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the
room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to
look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was
grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line
going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open
doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for
us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit
disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands⁃on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look
back very fondly on the time that we had them.
1.Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home?
A.To ensure their survival. B.To observe their differences.
C.To teach them life skills. D.To let them play with his kids.
2.What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Behave badly. B.Lose their way. C.Sleep soundly.
D.Miss their mom.
3.What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home?
A.Boring. B.Tiring. C.Costly. D.Risky.
4.Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?
A.They frightened the children. B.They became difficult to contain.
C.They annoyed the neighbours. D.They started fighting each other.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文讲了老虎在作者家生活的情况以及作者照顾老虎的感受。

A British woman who won a $1 million prize after she was named the World's
Best Teacher will use the cash to bring inspirational figures into UK schools.
Andria Zafirakou, a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to
bring about a classroom revolution(变革). “We are going to make a change,” she said.
“I've started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools.”
The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of
any sort—whether an up⁃and⁃coming local musician or a major movie star—into
schools to work with and inspire children.
Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work
for the past twelve years. “I've seen those magic moments when children are talking
to someone they are inspired by—their eyes are shining and their faces light up,” she
said. “We need artists, more than ever in our schools.”
Artist Michael Craig⁃Martin said, “Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from
all fields into direct contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the
arts are being downgraded in schools.” It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary,
he added.
Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts
机密资料 请勿外传 47 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
education in schools was not just an add⁃on. “It is absolutely necessary. The future
depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young. What will remain of us
when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity, and it is our creative
spirit, our visionary sense of freshness, that has been our strength for centuries.”
1.What will Zafirakou do with her prize money?
A.Make a movie. B.Build new schools. C.Run a project.
D.Help local musicians.
2.What does Craig⁃Martin think of the teaching of the arts in UK schools?
A.It is particularly difficult. B.It increases artists' income.
C.It opens children's mind. D.It deserves greater attention.
3.What should be stressed in school education according to Schama?
A.Moral principles. B.Interpersonal skills. C.Creative
abilities. D.Positive worldviews.
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Bring Artists to Schools B.When Historians Meet Artists
C.Arts Education in Britain D.The World's Best Arts Teacher
答案
[语篇解读] 英国一名女子在被评为世界最佳教师后获得了100万美元的奖金,她
用这笔奖金发起一个项目,让艺术家进入学校。

和 I've started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools. 可
知,Zafirakou打算用自己的奖金运行一个项目。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“at a time when the arts are being
downgraded in schools” 和 “ It was a mistake to see arts as unnecessary” 可
知,Craig⁃Martin 认为英国学校不够重视艺术,且认为艺术没有必要的观点是错
的。由此可知他认为英国学校的艺术教育应受到更多关注。
3.C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中 It is absolutely necessary. The future
depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young.可知,Schama认为学校教
育应该强调创造力。
4.A 主旨要义题。文章讲述了Andria Zafirakou用自己的奖金启动了一个项目,
将艺术家带进学校,促进艺术教学。

An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing
cattle, a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely
机密资料 请勿外传 48 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
on a low⁃tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.
Salah Sukkarieh, a professor at the University of Sydney, sees robots as
necessary given how cattlemen are aging. He is building a four⁃wheeled robot that
will run on solar and electric power. It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the
animals. A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is
sick. Radio tags (标签) on the animals will measure temperature changes. The quality
of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape, color and texture (质地) of
grass. That way, cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to
another field for nutrition purposes.
Machines have largely taken over planting, watering and harvesting crops such
as corn and wheat, but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.
For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds, it's increasingly difficult to find workers
interested in watching cattle. But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job.
Years of experience in the industry—and failed attempts to use technology—have
convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse. Bonds, who
bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago, still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or
400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.
Other cattlemen see more promise in robots.Michael Kelsey Paris, vice president
of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, said a robot could be extremely useful
given rising concerns about cattle theft. Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and
their value has risen, making them appealing targets.
1.What is a problem with the cattle⁃raising industry?
A.Soil pollution. B.Lack of workers. C.Aging machines.
D.Low profitability.
2.What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do?
A.Monitor the quality of grass. B.Cure the diseased cattle.
C.Move cattle to another field. D.Predict weather changes.
3.Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle?
A.He wants to help them earn a living. B.He thinks men can do the job
better.
C.He is inexperienced in using robots. D.He enjoys the traditional way of
life.
4.How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey?
A.Increase the value of cattle. B.Bring down the cost of labor.
C.Make the job more appealing. D.Keep cattle from being stolen.

Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student
to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit
when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became
机密资料 请勿外传 51 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
the first in her large family to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10
children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran
the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical
college, working to pay her tuition (学费), because there was no extra
money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help
her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided
to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support
her family while doing something she loves:nursing. She chose the UW-Eau
Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she
was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to
class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received
great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree:Her husband
worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68yearold mother helped take
care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated
with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many
nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my
heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams
or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson
witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate
and an inspiration to her family—and that’s pretty powerful.
1. What did Jennifer do after high school?
A. She helped her dad with his work.
B. She ran the family farm on her own.
C. She supported herself through college.
D. She taught her sisters and brothers at home.
2. Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in
Marshfield?
A. To take care of her kids easily.
B. To learn from the best nurses.

In the mid 1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in
Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his
mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to
Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this
book, Chasing the Sea:Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia,
which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions
of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story
of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on
his way : Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his
colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a
string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and
warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires
the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of
police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a
mountain funeral ( 葬 礼 ) followed by a strange drinking party. And in
Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats
stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references,
making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes.
His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate
stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or
even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid
description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
1. What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?
A. His friends’ invitation.
B. His interest in the country.
C. His love for teaching.
D. His desire to regain health.
2. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
机密资料 请勿外传 54 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A. Developing a serious mental disease.
B. Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.
C. Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.
D. Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
3. Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell’s road trip in Uzbekistan?
A. Romantic.
B. Eventful.
C. Pleasant.
D. Dangerous.
4. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book.
B. To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C. To remember a writer.
D. To recommend a travel destination.
答案
[语篇解读]本文为记叙文。Bissell先生再次踏上中亚大地,历经坎坷终于完成了
一部关于中亚地区传统的书。
1. B细节理解题。根据第一段第三句(几年后,他仍然眷恋着这个国家,于是他
重返乌兹别克斯坦来写一篇关于咸海消失的文章)可知,他依然对这个国家充满
了感情和兴趣,这种力量让他又来到了这里。故选B项。
2. D猜测词义题。由第一段最后一句可知,他回乌兹别克斯坦是为了写一篇关
于咸海消失的文章。由第二段第一句(然而,他的访问最终涉及的远不止那件
事)可知,画线单词指的是写一篇关于咸海的文章。故选D项。
3. B 推理判断题。第三段描述了他领略了 Samarkand 的建筑奇迹、在去往
Bukhara 的 路 上 被 警 察 怀 疑 贩 毒 、 在 Ferghana 参 加 了 一 个 葬 礼 、 在
Karakalpakstan遇到了沙尘暴等经历。由这些经历可推断出他的这次旅途是多姿
多彩的(eventful)。故选B项。
4. A推理判断题。本文第一段写了Bissell先生回到乌兹别克斯坦的目的,中间
介绍了他写的这本书,最后表明:这不是一本游记,也不是一本历史书。不管
它是什么,它都形象地描述了中亚地区的传统。由此推断出作者写这篇文章就
是为了介绍一本书。故选A项。

According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both
the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our
food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid
eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), it's the beanpoles
with big appetites you really need to avoid.
To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers
conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were
individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study
about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to
help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food
first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases
she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180
pounds.
Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food.
The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would
have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.
For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy
from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were
similar to the first test:the participants followed suit but took significantly
more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.
The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when
we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will
I. Call it the “I'll have what she's having” effect. However, we'll adjust the
influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a
bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a
lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?
1. What is the recent study mainly about?
机密资料 请勿外传 56 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A. Food safety.
B. Movie viewership.
C. Consumer demand.
D. Eating behavior.
2. What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Big eaters.
B. Overweight persons.
C. Picky eaters.
D. Tall thin persons.
3. Why did the researchers hire the actor?
A. To see how she would affect the participants.
B. To test if the participants could recognize her.
C. To find out what she would do in the two tests.
D. To study why she could keep her weight down.
4. On what basis do we “ adjust the influence” according to the last
paragraph?
A. How hungry we are.
B. How slim we want to be.
C. How we perceive others.
D. How we feel about the food.
答案
[语篇解读]本文为说明文。到底和胖人一块用餐吃得多还是和瘦人一块用餐吃
得多呢?
1. D细节理解题。根据文章第一句“根据《消费者研究》杂志上的一项最新研
究,和我们一块用餐的同伴的体型和吃饭习惯都会影响我们的食物的摄入量”
可知这项研究是关于我们的饮食行为的。故选D项。
2. D猜测词义题。画线单词所在的句子表示:现有的研究成果认为你应该避免
和那些较重的要大份饭菜的人一块用餐,与此相反的是你需要真正避开那些瘦
高个且饭量大的人。画线单词与前面的heavier people相反,故选D项。
3. A推理判断题。作者在第二、三、四段描述了研究人员雇用这位演员和那些
参与者做的两个测试,发现这位演员的饮食摄入量都会影响参与者的饮食量。
由此推断出雇用她的目的就是测试她是如何影响参与者的。故选A项。
4. C推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句(如果这个同伴吃得多,我也要吃得
多。我们称之为“我要有她有的东西”效应)推断出我们要想调整这种影响,就
是要调整我们看待别人的方式。故选C项。

The end of the school year was in sight and spirits were high. I was back
teaching after an absence of 15 years, dealing with the various kinds of “forbidden
fruit” that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol(手枪).
I decided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit.
“Please bring that pistol to me,” I said. “I'm going to put it in my Grandma's
Box.”
“What's that?” they asked.
“It's a large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren,” I replied.
“You don't have grandchildren,” someone said.
“I don't know,” I replied. “But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full of
wonderful things for them.”
My imaginary Grandma's Box worked like magic that spring, and later.
Sometimes students would ask me to describe all the things I had in it. Then I would
try to remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken away—since I
seldom actually kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the end of the day,
and I would return the belonging.
The years went by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy
with that year's class. Then someone said, “Now you can use your Grandma's Box.”
机密资料 请勿外传 59 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions back, the students would say,
“That's okay. Put it in your Grandma's Box for Gordon.”
I loved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also with
my own children. They enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I had collected.
Then one Christmas I received a surprise gift—a large, beautifully made wooden
chest. My son Bruce had made my Grandma's Box a reality.
1.What was the author's purpose in having the conversation with the students?
A.To collect the water pistol. B.To talk about her grandchildren.
C.To recommend some toys. D.To explain her teaching method.
2.What do the underlined words “the offender” in paragraph 8 refer to?
A.The student's parent. B.The maker of the Grandma's Box.
C.The author's grandchild. D.The owner of the forbidden fruit.
3.What did the students do after they learned about the birth of Gordon?
A.They went to play with the baby. B.They asked to see the Grandma's
Box.
C.They made a present for Gordon. D.They stopped asking their toys
back.
4.What can we infer about the author?
A.She enjoys telling jokes. B.She is a strict and smart teacher.
C.She loves doing woodwork. D.She is a responsible grandmother.

07-2020新高考Ⅱ,C
In May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was
closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected
perhaps 50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800,000 crowded the roads to
the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineers noticed something
terrible: the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it
had ever been asked to carry. Worse, it was beginning to sway(晃动). The authorities
closed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of people made their way back to
land. A disaster was avoided.
The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design: Understanding Failure, a
book that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean(赞歌) to its breakdowns.
Its author, Dr. Henry Petroski, has long been writing about disasters. In this book, he
includes the loss of the space shuttles(航天飞机) Challenger and Columbia, and the
sinking of the Titanic.
Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person
who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr.
Petroski widens his view to consider the larger context in which such failures occur.
Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality
materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted
elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it
does not work at all anymore.
Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new
stories and a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and
the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them.
“Success is success but that is all that it is,” Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that
brings improvement.
1.What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday?
A.It carried more weight than it could. B.It swayed violently in a strong
wind.
C.Its roadway was damaged by vehicles. D.Its access was blocked by
机密资料 请勿外传 61 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
many people.
2.Which of the following is Dr. Petroski's idea according to paragraph 3?
A.No design is well received everywhere.
B.Construction is more important than design.
C.Not all disasters are caused by engineering design.
D.Improvements on engineering works are necessary.
3.What does the last paragraph suggest?
A.Failure can lead to progress. B.Success results in overconfidence.
C.Failure should be avoided. D.Success comes from joint efforts.
4.What is the text?
A.A news report. B.A short story.
C.A book review. D.A research article.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章是一篇书评,告诉我们有些灾难不是由设计本身引起的以及失败
能带来进步。
1.A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In May 1987...to sway”可以看出,多达80万
人挤满了通往大桥的道路。当25万人在桥上时,工程师们注意到了一个可怕的
现象:路面变平了。更糟的是,它开始晃动。因此可以看出,金门大桥50岁生日那
天,它承受的重量超过了它的承受能力。
2.C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段可以推知,博士的想法是并非所有的灾难都
是由工程设计引起的。
3.A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的 “It is failure that brings improvement.”
可知,失败能带来改进。A项与此相呼应,即失败能带来进步。
4.C 推理判断题。文章第一段的故事来自《请原谅设计》一书,并且后面三段
都在写这本书里的内容,再结合最后一段这本书的升华内容“It is failure that
brings improvement.”可知,文章内容都是关于这本书的,所以这篇文章是书评。

Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and
animals. Can you believe that a single bush(灌木丛) in the Amazon may have more
species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in
just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet—storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide
and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own
perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy(树冠层)
机密资料 请勿外传 62 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest
animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although
close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the
plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for
leaf⁃eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump
or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and
bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food
for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75% of their
own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal—and in some areas there may be
as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain—your umbrella may protect
you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two
hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity(湿气) of large rainforests
contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of
rain.
1.What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph?
A.They produce oxygen. B.They cover a vast area.
C.They are well managed. D.They are rich in wildlife.
2.Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests?
A.Heavy rains. B.Big trees. C.Small plants.
D.Forest animals.
3.Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other?
A.For more sunlight. B.For more growing space.
C.For self⁃protection. D.For the detection of insects.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Life⁃Giving Rainforests B.The Law of the Jungle
C.Animals in the Amazon D.Weather in Rainforests
答案
[语篇解读] 本文介绍了热带雨林的生物、功能、自生方式以及命名原因。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Rainforests are home to a rich variety of
medicinal plants, food, birds and animals.”可知,热带雨林蕴藏了丰富的药用植物、
食物以及飞禽走兽,即热带雨林有丰富的野生动植物。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段“Rainforests have...and strong winds.”可知,热带

植物、动物们免受伤害,因此大树有助于热带雨林生存。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Scientists think...like caterpillars.”可知,科学家
们认为这是植物阻止任何树木疾病扩散和让食用树叶的昆虫难以生存的方式,由
此可以判断出,不同树木的树叶和树枝避免彼此触碰是为了自我保护。
4.A 主旨要义题。由文章可知,雨林是众多动植物的家园,给地球提供了大量氧
气,产生的雨云能帮助缺水国家,故本文最佳标题是“给予生命的热带雨林”。

Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in
landscape(风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks
geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm
fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes.
To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away
to shoot within a 10minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my
friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take
photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of
机密资料 请勿外传 66 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up
early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have
missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five
minutes before the best moment.
One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin,
to climb the purple quartz(石英) rock around the lake. After we found a
crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph
the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the
sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher
because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route(路
线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the
place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time.
Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they
could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed
my time wisely.
1. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in
the Midwest?
A. By teaming up with other photographers.
B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks.
C. By studying the geographical conditions.
D. By creating settings in the corn fields.
2. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the
author?
A. Proper time management.
B. Good shooting techniques.
C. Adventurous spirit.
D. Distinctive styles.
3. What can we infer from the author's trip with friends to Devil's Lake?
A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.
C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected.
D. They had problems with their equipment.
4. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil's Lake?
A. Amusing.

What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably
fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British
food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-
than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear
frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the
best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that
Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and
becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that
the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and
around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their
cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students
applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV
programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that
watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different
food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients(配料)
than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality
ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them
much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills,
and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's
机密资料 请勿外传 69 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
obsession(痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery
shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before.
With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer “uncool” for
boys to like cooking.
1. What do people usually think of British food?
A. It is simple and plain.
B. It is rich in nutrition.
C. It lacks authentic tastes.
D. It deserves a high reputation.
2. Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV?
A. Authoritative.
B. Creative.
C. Profitable.
D. Influential.
3. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?
A. 20%.
B. 24%.
C. 25%.
D. 33%.
4. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The art of cooking in other countries.
B. Male chefs on TV programmes.
C. Table manners in the UK.
D. Studies of big eaters.

断出,接下来很可能是写有关男厨师的内容。故选B。

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
机密资料 请勿外传 71 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
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 just the texts, but the objects.
1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. How past events should be presented.
B. What humanity is concerned about.
C. Whether facts speak louder than words.
D. Why written language is reliable.
2. What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?
A. His report was scientific.
B. He represented the local people.

A. Problem.
B. History.
C. Voice.
D. Society.
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 100Objects
D. How Art Works Tell Stories
答案
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文,主题语境为历史、社会与文化,主要讲述了如果
想了解整个世界的历史,你不能仅仅通过文字,还要通过留下的物品。
1. A主旨要义题,考查段落大意。根据第一段内容可知,讲述整个世界的历史
不能仅仅通过文字,因为大多数时间里没有文字。即使有文字的社会也不仅用
文字,还会用物品来记录对他们重要的事情。由此可判断出,第一段主要讲述
的是过去的事件应该如何呈现。故选A。
2. D推理判断题,考查写作目的。根据“The clearest example of this...between
Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals.”可知,Captain Cook的
例子是为了说明上句提到的在许多情况下我们在了解历史时不能将文本与物品
完美结合。再结合后面的“From the English side, we have...the captain’s
record...”“From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield...”以及
“the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the
written reports”可知,如果我们想要重现那天发生的事情,就必须像对待书面
报告一样深入且严格地质疑和解释那个盾牌。也就是说,库克船长的记录是片
面的。故选D。
3. B词义猜测题。根据第三段最后两句可知,当我们考虑将类似的有文字和没
文字的社会联系起来时,我们所有的第一手记录必然会被曲解,只是一半的对
话,不是历史的全部真相。所以,如果我们想要找到另一半对话,我们不仅需
要读文本,还需要研究物品。only one half of a dialogue和the other half of
that conversation呼应,共同构成更客观的历史全貌。
4. C推理判断题,考查文章出处推断。本题问本文最有可能选自下列哪本图
书,需要结合文章主旨进行推断。第一段讲述要了解历史不仅要通过文字,还
要通过物品。第二段用库克船长的例子具体说明很多情况下我们在了解历史时
不能将文字与物品完美结合。最后一段说如果想了解历史的全部真相,不仅要
机密资料 请勿外传 73 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
读文字,还要研究物品。由此可见,作者写这篇文章是想告诉我们通过物品了
解历史的重要性。C项(《100件物品中的世界史》)符合题意。故选C。
长难句
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.
译文 如果你想讲述整个世界的历史,一段不偏袒人类某一部分的历史,你不能
仅通过文字(来讲述),因为世界上只有一部分地区曾经有过文字,而世界上
大部分地区,在大多数时间里,都没有文字。
分析 If引导条件状语从句。that does not privilege one part of humanity为that
引导的定语从句,修饰先行词a history。because引导原因状语从句。while为
并列连词,意为“而”,连接两个表示对比关系的并列分句。
重点词汇
privilege vt.授予……特权;特别优待 humanity n. (总称)人, 人类 ideally adv.
完美地;理想地 reconstruct vt. 重现;重建miscomprehension n.误解

Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY (do-it-yourself). Skilled
at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone
else to do a job she can do herself.
She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd.
From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her
school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She
says:“I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with. But when Derek built
our family house about eight years ago, I was heavily involved(参与),
painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took
weeks and it was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my
skills.”
Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West
London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy(租
期)comes to an end. She adds:“I’ve moved house many times and I always
like to personalise my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know
机密资料 请勿外传 76 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve
moved out.”
With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming
weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to
make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average
spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve
their comfort while at home. A fifth wish to increase the value of their
houses. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research
shows it is women now leading the charge.
1. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1?
A. An artist.B. A winner.
C. A specialist.D. A pioneer.
2. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day?
A. For a birthday gift.
B. As a treat for her work.
C. To support her DIY projects.
D. To encourage her to take up a hobby.
3. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented?
A. By making it look like before.
B. By furnishing it herself.
C. By splitting the rent with a roommate.
D. By cancelling the rental agreement.
4. What trend in DIY does the research show?
A. It is becoming more costly.
B. It is getting more time-consuming.
C. It is turning into a seasonal industry.
D. It is gaining popularity among females.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是记叙文,主题语境为个人生活。作者讲述了 Terri Bolton的
真实经历,从而探讨DIY这一流行的生活方式。
1. C猜测词义题。画线短语是用来描写 Terri Bolton的。根据下句可知,她擅
长搭架子和组装家具,她自己能做的事情从不花钱请别人做。所以,Terri
Bolton是DIY方面的专家。故选C。
2. B 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键信息£5可定位到第二段。根据“From
the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school
机密资料 请勿外传 77 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money.”可知,这5
英镑是祖父对她一天工作的奖励。故选B。
3. A推理判断题。根据题干中的关键信息“avoid losing the deposit”可定位到
第三段。根据“So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and
repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.”可知,Terri知道
如何修补墙上的洞,如何重新粉刷房间(也就是使房间看起来像原来的样
子),从而避免搬出去的时候被扣押金。故选A。
4. D 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词 research 可定位到最后一段。根据
“Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research
shows it is women now leading the charge.”可知,尽管 DIY传统上被认为是
男性的爱好,但研究表明,如今女性正引领这一潮流。A、B两项中的比较意味
原文中没有体现;另外,C 项是对原文中的“more than half of people are
planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done”
的错误解读,原文只是点明了人们计划进行DIY的时间,并没有说DIY成了一
个季节性行业。

I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s
Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the
summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought
me into a world of philosophy(哲学).
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the
love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault,
Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you—and then try to explain them.
Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express:In Search of Life Lessons from Dead
Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but
an invitation to think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and
then frames each philosopher’s work in the context(背景) of one thing they
can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder
like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets
like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a
book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.
He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the
机密资料 请勿外传 78 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner
enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in
history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding(解读)
their messages and adding his own interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its
apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire,
loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a
coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer.
It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of.
1. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?
A. Foucault.
B. Eric Weiner.
C. Jostein Gaarder.
D. A college teacher.
2. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?
A. To compare Weiner with them.
B. To give examples of great works.
C. To praise their writing skills.
D. To help readers understand Weiner’s book.
3. What does the author like about The Socrates Express?
A. Its views on history are well-presented.
B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C. It includes comments from readers.
D. It leaves an open ending.
4. What does the author think of Weiner’s book?
A. Objective and plain.
B. Daring and ambitious.
C. Serious and hard to follow.
D. Humorous and straightforward.
答案
[语篇解读]本文是议论文,主题语境为文学名著。本文主要通过介绍 Eric
Weiner 的作品 The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead
Philosophers,向我们传达哲学对现实生活能起到指导作用的道理。
1. C细节理解题。根据题干中的关键信息“opened the door to philosophy”可
机密资料 请勿外传 79 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
定位到第一段。根据第一段可知,在作者大约十三岁的时候,一个叔叔送给他
一本Jostein Gaarder的Sophie’s World,他一整个夏天都埋头看这本书,是这本
书带作者进入了哲学的世界。也就是说,对于作者而言,是Jostein Gaarder为
自己打开了哲学之门。故选C。
易错警示容易误选 B项。题干问的是谁为作者打开了哲学之门,而作者阅读
Eric Weiner的著作时是再次爱上哲学。
2. D推理判断题,考查写作目的。根据题干中的关键信息“great philosophers
in paragraph 4”可定位到第四段第二句。根据“The end result is a read in
which we learn to wonder like Socrates,see like Thoreau,listen like
Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche.”可知,读书的最终结果是:
我们学会像苏格拉底一样思考,像梭罗一样看问题,像叔本华一样倾听,像尼
采那样没有遗憾。由此可推断,文章第四段提到这些哲学家是为了帮助读者理
解Weiner的书。故选D。
3. B推理判断题。题干:作者喜欢The Socrates Express这本书的哪点?根据
第四段最后一句“This, more than a book about understanding philosophy,is a
book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.”可知,这不仅仅是
一本关于理解哲学的书,更是一本关于学习用哲学来改善生活的书。由此可推
断,作者认为这本书的思想可以运用到日常生活中去。故选B。
4. D推理判断题,考查作者的观点态度。根据第五段第一句中的“and he does
so with plenty of humor”和最后一段第一句中的“is a fun, sharp book”可
知,这本书很幽默;再根据最后一段第一句中的“ with its apparent
simplicity”可知,它直白易懂,与 D 项“Humorous and straightforward”一
致。故选D。
长难句
The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like
Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche.
译文 读书的最终结果是:我们学会像苏格拉底一样思考,像梭罗一样看问题,
像叔本华一样倾听,像尼采那样没有遗憾。

Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5m long and weigh over
400kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche—we revere(敬
畏)them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around
the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to
see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,”says
bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places
where they haven’t been seen in a century or more, they’re increasingly being
sighted by humans.
The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came,
with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans.
By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers,
600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in
the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered
Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their
recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has
twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and
allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from
conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions( 预 防 )aren’t taken, grizzlies can become
troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in
search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and
campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric
fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly
effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-
free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says
James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
1. How do Americans look at grizzlies?
A. They cause mixed feelings in people.
B. They should be kept in national parks.
C. They are of high scientific value.
机密资料 请勿外传 81 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
D. They are a symbol of American culture.
2. What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A. They European settlers’ behavior.
B. The expansion of bears’ range.
C. The protection by law since 1975.
D. The support of Native Americans.
3. What has stopped the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from delisting
grizzlies?
A. The opposition of conservation groups.
B. The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C. The voice of the biologists.
D. The local farmers’ advocates.
4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B. People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C. A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D. Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.
答案
[语篇解读[ 本文是说明文,主题语境为人与动物。本文介绍了美国濒危动物灰
熊的特征、生存区域、濒危原因和现状,以及与人们的相处等。
1. A细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“occupy a conflicted corner of the
American psyche—we revere them even as they give us frightening dreams”
可知,美国人对灰熊有着矛盾的心态,灰熊既令他们心生敬畏,又给他们带来
可怕的梦境。由此可知,灰熊引起美国人复杂的情感。故选A。
2. C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“By the early 1970s...600 to 800 grizzlies
remained”和“In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species
Act.”和第四段第二句“Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies, which would
loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted.”可知,1975年,被列入
《濒危物种法》的灰熊数量恢复很成功,所以正是这部法律的颁布有助于灰熊
数量的增长。故选C。
3. A细节理解题。根据题干中的关键信息“stopped the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service from de-listing grizzlies”可定位到第四段。根据“Both efforts were
overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups.”可知,由于保护组织的
诉讼,将灰熊从法律保护名单上除名的努力都被推翻了。故选A。
机密资料 请勿外传 82 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
4. B推理判断题。最后一段讲到了灰熊给人类带来的危害和人们对灰熊的防
范,其中提到人类生活的区域如果没有引诱灰熊的东西存在,灰熊一般会径直
路过,而不带来麻烦,由此可推断,人类与灰熊是能够和谐共处的。故选B。

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
机密资料 请勿外传 84 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
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.”
1.Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains?
A.To teach in a school. B.To study American history.
C.To write a book. D.To do sightseeing.
2.What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3?
A.They enjoyed much respect. B.They had a room with a bathtub.
C.They lived with the local kids. D.They suffered severe hardships.
3.Which part of Wickenden's writing is hair⁃raising?
A.The extreme climate of Auburn. B.The living conditions in Elkhead.
C.The railroad building in the Rockies. D.The natural beauty of the West.
4.What is the text?
A.A news report. B.A book review. C.A children's story. D.A
diary entry.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为一则书评,书中讲述了两名来自富裕家庭的女孩前往落基山脉
的一处定居点教书的经历。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的 traveled to a settlement in the Rocky
Mountains to teach in a one⁃room schoolhouse可知,她们是去教书。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的 had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of
snow on their quilt可知,她们在当地生活得很艰苦,故选D项。虽然第一句提到她
们搬到了当地一户人家居住,但是并没有说是和当地的孩子住在一起,所以C项不
机密资料 请勿外传 85 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
正确。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句中的 A hair⁃raising section concerns the
building of the railroads可知,此题选择C项。
4.B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句中的Their stay in Elkhead is the subject
of Nothing Daunted:The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the

Can a small group of drones(无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of
railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each
year? That is the very likely future of applying today's “eyes in the sky” technology to
making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure(基础设施)
worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high⁃tension electrical lines. They
could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of
rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points.
The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and
on⁃time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be
more efficient(高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway
personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20
billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at
night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that
could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher⁃value
services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any
safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying
overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future.
They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run
autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead
of the train could guide it like a co⁃pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could
signal any problem, so that fast⁃moving trains would be able to react in time.

The Government's sugar tax on soft drinks has brought in half as much money as
Ministers first predicted it would generate, the first official data on the policy has
shown.
First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing
more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity(肥
胖). It is believed that today's children and teenagers are consuming three times the
recommended level of sugar, putting them at a higher risk of the disease.
Initially the sugar tax was expected to make £520m a year for the Treasury.
However, data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this
amount. At present it is expected to generate £240m for the year ending in April
2019, which will go to school sports.
It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar
levels cut by manufacturers(制造商) so they can avoid paying the tax. Drinks now
contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers' efforts to avoid
the charge, according to Treasury figures. Since April drinks companies have been
forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or
import, depending on the sugar content.
However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the
sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices,
milk⁃based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small
companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.
Today's figures, according to one government official, show the positive
influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities(设
施) and healthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation to have a healthy and
active childhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its part.
1.Why was the sugar tax introduced?
A.To collect money for schools. B.To improve the quality of drinks.
C.To protect children's health. D.To encourage research in education.
2.How did some drinks companies respond to the sugar tax?
A.They turned to overseas markets.
B.They raised the prices of their products.
C.They cut down on their production.
机密资料 请勿外传 88 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
D.They reduced their products' sugar content.
3.From which of the following is the sugar tax collected?
A.Most alcoholic drinks. B.Milk⁃based drinks.
C.Fruit juices. D.Classic Coke.
4.What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy?
A.It is a short⁃sighted decision. B.It is a success story.
C.It benefits manufacturers. D.It upsets customers.

Cola, have accepted the sugar tax (一些高糖品牌,如经典可口可乐,已经接受了糖
税) 和Fruit juices, milk⁃based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as
are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year. (果汁、以牛奶为
主原料的饮料和大多数含酒精的饮料免税,年产量不足100万升的小公司也是如
此)可知,糖税是从经典可口可乐这样的产品中收取的。
4.B 推理判断题。由最后一段中的 show the positive influence the sugar tax is
having (显示了糖税正在产生的积极影响)和Helping the next generation to have a
healthy and active childhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its
part. (帮助下一代拥有一个健康和活跃的童年是非常重要的,这个行业正在发挥
作用)可知,糖税政策是成功的。

Goffin's cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown
to have similar shape⁃recognition abilities to a human two⁃year⁃old. Though not
known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in
the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut
inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the
birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct
“key” would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of
age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less
symmetrical(对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be
turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of
reference”. In the experiment, Goffin's cockatoos were able to select the right tool for
the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial⁃and⁃error was used,
the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin's
cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in
space, similar to two⁃year⁃old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the
机密资料 请勿外传 91 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues(线索), or also use a sense of touch in making
their shape selections.
1.How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment?
A.By following instructions. B.By using a tool.
C.By turning the box around. D.By removing the lid.
2.Which task can human one⁃year⁃olds most likely complete according to the text?
A.Using a key to unlock a door. B.Telling parrots from other birds.
C.Putting a ball into a round hole. D.Grouping toys of different shapes.
3.What does the follow⁃up test aim to find out about the cockatoos?
A.How far they are able to see. B.How they track moving objects.
C.Whether they are smarter than monkeys. D.Whether they use a sense of touch in
the test.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Cockatoos:Quick Error Checkers B.Cockatoos:Independent Learners
C.Cockatoos:Clever Signal⁃Readers D.Cockatoos:Skilful Shape⁃Sorters
答案
[语篇解读] 原产于澳大拉西亚的戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉是技术高超的形状分类专家。

while kept in the cage” 和 “ In a recent experiment...the birds were given five
differently shaped ‘keys’...Inserting the correct ‘key’ would let out the nut.”可知,笼中
的鸟儿(戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉)被证明能熟练地使用工具,它们在实验中是通过使用工
具得到坚果的。

round hole from around one year of age”可知,一岁左右的幼童可以把一个圆形的东
西投进一个圆形的洞里,故可推知人类一岁幼童最有可能完成的任务是把一个球
放进圆洞内。
3.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“or also use a sense of touch in making
their shape selections”可知,研究人员下一步的目标是试验凤头鹦鹉在形状的选择
中是否也使用触觉。
4.D 主旨要义题。通读全文,尤其是第一段第一句可知,文章主要说明了戈芬氏
凤头鹦鹉具有形状识别能力,是技术高超的形状分类专家。

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of
机密资料 请勿外传 92 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
little Gentoo penguins(企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers
welcomed her and kick⁃started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel.
Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but
always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons
eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to
travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it
was in Chile she discovered she could get last⁃minute cheap deals on ships going to
Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South
American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about
what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it
alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before,
to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing
sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that
no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it
just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at
us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one
of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
1.Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?
A.Try challenging things. B.Take a degree.
C.Bring back lost memories. D.Stick to a promise.
2.What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A.Lovely penguins. B.Beautiful scenery. C.A discount fare. D.A
friend's invitation.
3.What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A.It could be a home for her. B.It should be easily accessible.
C.It should be well preserved. D.It needs to be fully introduced.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.A childhood dream. B.An unforgettable experience.
C.Sailing around the world. D.Meeting animals in Antarctica.

Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia.
The city discovered its harbor. Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of
things that were just sort of there—broad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally
diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for
a living. I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After
our third run Andrew shut down the engine, and we went our separate ways—he for a
lunch break, I to explore the city.
“I'll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted.
“How do you mean?” I asked.
“Oh, they're replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they're
not so elegant, and they're not fun to pilot. But that's progress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords(口
号), and traditions are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city's official historian,
told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much of its
past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she
said. “We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a
机密资料 请勿外传 94 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
traditional one. It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving(解决).”
On the other hand, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I
considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many
people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me. “What people forget is
that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2000 years of their culture, the
Greeks some 3000 years, and the Chinese more still. We've got a foundation built on
ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country. It's a pretty hard
combination to beat.”
He is right, but I can't help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Sydney's striking architecture. B.The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C.The key to Sydney's development. D.Sydney's tourist attractions in the
1960s.
2.What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds?
A.He goes to work by boat. B.He looks forward to a new life.
C.He pilots catamarans well. D.He is attached to the old ferries.
3.What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney?
A.It is losing its traditions. B.It should speed up its progress.
C.It should expand its population. D.It is becoming more international.
4.Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A.A city can be young and old at the same time.
B.A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C.Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D.Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

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 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.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium,Pyongyang, D.P.R. Korea. Capacity:150,000.
Opened: May 1, 1989.
·Michigan Stadium,Ann Arbor,Michigan,U.S. Capacity:107,601.
Opened:October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U.S. Capacity:106,572.
Opened:September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio,U.S. Capacity:104,944. Opened:October
7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas,U.S. Capacity:102,512. Opened:September
24,1927.
1.How many people could the Circus Maximus hold?
A.104,944. B.107,601. C.About 150,000. D.About

D.Kyle Field.
3.What do the listed stadiums have in common?
A.They host big games. B.They have become tourist attractions.
C.They were built by Americans. D.They are favored by architects.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章主要介绍了世界上最大的体育馆。
1.D 细节理解题。根据题干关键词 Circus Maximus 定位到首段最后一句话

项。
2.C 细节理解题。将文章最后一部分的信息进行对比,Michigan Stadium:1927年
10月1日;Beaver Stadium:1960年9月17日;Ohio Stadium:1922年10月7日;Kyle
Field:1927年9月24日。故选择C项。
3.A 细节理解题。文章最后一部分在列出体育场信息之前提到“All these
stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world
sport.”,故答案为A项。

When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian
homes still paying for a landline (座机)?
These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15
who doesn't own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their
pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.
Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over
a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones, according to a survey(调查). Of those
Australians who still have a landline,a third concede that it's not really necessary and
they're keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a
further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that
category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home
phone. Age is naturally a factor(因素)—only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use
landlines now and then,compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had
the same home number for 50 years. Age isn't the only factor; I'd say it's also to do
机密资料 请勿外传 97 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it
convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every
family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone
are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is
calling before we pick up the phone(using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline?How long until they go the way of gas
street lamps and morning milk deliveries?
1.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?
A.Their target users. B.Their wide popularity.
C.Their major functions. D.Their complex design.
2.What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Admit. B.Argue. C.Remember. D.Remark.
3.What can we say about Baby Boomers?
A.They like smartphone games. B.They enjoy guessing callers' identity.
C.They keep using landline phones. D.They are attached to their family.
4.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?
A.It remains a family necessity. B.It will fall out of use some day.
C.It may increase daily expenses. D.It is as important as the gas light.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章介绍了在几乎人人都有手机的今天,为什么超过一半的澳大利亚
家庭仍然保留着座机。
1.B 主旨要义题。根据第二段第一句(如今,在澳大利亚你很难发现15岁以上的
人没有手机。)和第二段中的关键词“plenty of younger kids”“everyone can make
and receive calls”可知,手机在澳大利亚非常流行,故答案为B项。
2.A 猜测词义题。虽然在澳大利亚,超过一半的家庭还留着座机,三分之一拥有
座机的澳大利亚人不会把它当作一种必需品,而是把它当作一种安全保障,19%的
人永远不会使用它,13%的人保留座机是为了预防紧急情况。由此可判断画线单
词的意思为“承认”,故选A项(Admit)。
3.C 推理判断题。根据题干中的“Baby Boomers”将答案区域迅速锁定在第四
段,根据关键信息“84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home
number for 50 years.”可知,婴儿潮一代保留着使用座机的习惯,故答案为C项。
4.B 推理判断题。“How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and
morning milk deliveries?”中作者提到的煤气街灯和早晨送奶服务都是被淘汰了的
旧事物,因此可推断作者认为将来座机会被淘汰,故答案为B项。

You've heard that plastic is polluting the oceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 million
tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really
make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He
builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re⁃examine their
relationship to single⁃use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,”a
pair of 10⁃foot⁃tall plastic waves, frozen mid⁃crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws
collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first
appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the
biggest source(来源) of plastic pollution, but they've recently come under fire because
most people don't need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight,
they cannot be recycled. Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came
from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone,the
straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate( 说 明 ) a specific
statistic:Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this
work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected
more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they'd
been dumped(倾倒)from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce
their plastic footprint.
1.What are Von Wong's artworks intended for?
A.Beautifying the city he lives in. B.Introducing eco⁃friendly products.
C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D.Reducing garbage on the
beach.
2.Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?
A.To show the difficulty of their recycling. B.To explain why they are
useful.
C.To voice his views on modern art. D.To find a substitute for them.
3.What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?
A.Calming. B.Disturbing. C.Refreshing.
D.Challenging.

答案
[语篇解读] Benjamin Von Wong 为倡导环保而把塑料废物做成艺术品,用有趣
的方式呼吁人们关爱我们的地球。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He builds massive sculptures out of plastic
garbage, forcing viewers to re⁃examine their relationship to single⁃use plastic
products.”可知Von Wong把塑料废物制成了雕塑,让看到雕塑的人重新审视他们
和一次性塑料产品之间的关系,让人们关注塑料污染。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Just 9% of global plastic waste is
recycled.”及第二句的“because of their small size and weight, they cannot be
recycled”可知,全球只有9%的塑料废品被回收利用,吸管因小而且轻不能被回收
利用。本段体现了塑料吸管的回收难度。
3.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句“In a piece from 2018, Von Wong
wanted to illustrate a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of
plastic enters the ocean.”可知,Von Wong在2018年的一件作品中,想说明每60秒
就有一卡车的量的塑料被倒入海洋。这种景象会让人们感到震惊和担忧。
4.D 主旨要义题。依照说明文特点,主旨要义一般在第一段或最后一段体现。
根据第一段最后一句话“He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,
forcing viewers to re⁃examine their relationship to single⁃use plastic products.”可知
Von Wong把塑料垃圾制成艺术品,唤醒人们的环保意识。文章围绕这一点展开
说明,故D项作为标题最合适。

During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still
think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰) in his open office, he
said, “That's why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street—so I
can focus.”His comment struck me as strange. After all, coworking spaces also
typically use an open office layout(布局). But I recently came across a study that
shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they
completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups
机密资料 请勿外传 100 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50
decibels(分贝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the
groups were statistically insignificant; however, the participants in the 70 decibels
group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee
shop—significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this
may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total
silence and 85 decibels of background noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that
the right level of background noise—not too loud and not total silence—may actually
improve one's creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may
interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to
wander, without making it impossible to focus. This kind of “distracted focus”appears
to be the best state for working on creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in our
offices, we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others' conversations while
we're trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face⁃to⁃face interactions and
conversations affect the creative process, and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop
provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.
1.Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?
A.It helps him concentrate. B.It blocks out background noise.
C.It has a pleasant atmosphere. D.It encourages face⁃to⁃face interactions.
2.Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?
A.Total silence. B.50 decibels. C.70 decibels.
D.85 decibels.
3.What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?
A.Personal privacy unprotected. B.Limited working space.
C.Restrictions on group discussion. D.Constant interruptions.
4.What can we infer about the author from the text?
A.He's a news reporter. B.He's an office manager.
C.He's a professional designer. D.He's a published writer.
答案
[语篇解读] 作者得到启示:开放的工作环境有时有利于创造性思维。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中采访者的这句话“That's why I have a
membership at the coworking space across the street—so I can focus.”可以推断出他
之所以喜欢共同工作空间就是因为能集中注意力。
机密资料 请勿外传 101 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“however, the participants in the 70 decibels
group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee
shop—significantly outperformed the other groups”和第三段第一句可知70分贝的
背景噪音水平可能对提高创造性思维能力是有帮助的。
3.D 推理判断题。从最后一段第二句“The problem may be that, in our offices,
we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others' conversations while we're
trying to focus.”可以推断出,很多人不喜欢开放式的办公室的原因是总在想集中
注意力工作时被卷入别人的谈话中,即总是会时不时被打断。
4.D 推理判断题。根据文章第一句“During an interview for one of my books,
my interviewer...”可知作者是一位作家。

Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding(繁育)programme, has welcomed
the arrival of a rare black rhino calf(犀牛幼崽). When the tiny creature arrived on
January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at
Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are
known for being difficult to breed in captivity(圈养).
Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said:“Obviously we're all
absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She's healthy,
strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first⁃time mum
and she is doing a fantastic job. It's still a little too cold for them to go out into the
open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be
out and about exploring and playing every day.”
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve,
but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to
protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on
January 5 to first⁃time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg. His mother,
grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has
dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.
1.Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?
机密资料 请勿外传 103 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版

A.She loves staying with her mother. B.She dislikes outdoor activities.
C.She is in good condition. D.She is sensitive to heat.
3.What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?
A.They had their first born in January. B.They enjoyed exploring new places.
C.They lived with their grandmothers. D.They were brought to the reserve
young.
4.What can be inferred about Port Lympne Reserve?
A.The rhino section will be open to the public.
B.It aims to control the number of the animals.
C.It will continue to work with the World Wildlife Fund.
D.Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.

2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中 “She's healthy, strong and already eager to play
and explore.” 可知,新生犀牛身体状况良好,故答案为C项。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的“When the tiny creature arrived on
January 31”及第二段中的“Her mother, Solio, is a first⁃time mum and she is doing a
fantastic job.”可知Solio是一月份第一次产崽。根据第三段第二句中的“The first
rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first⁃time mother Kisima”可
知 Kisima也是一月份第一次产崽,故答案为A项。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句中的“but it is too early to tell if the calves
will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild”可知,有些犀

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow,
London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the
city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue⁃sky days, I felt at a loss
and out of place. Until I made a discovery.

Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British
skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I
loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And
my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it.
Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging
a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few
minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting:
“Safe!Safe!Safe!”And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but
the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to
Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently
this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch
the skaters. Weaving (穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found
my way to the beam. Then a rail⁃thin teenager, in a baggy white T⁃shirt,
skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next
to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I
told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
1.What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?
A.He felt disappointed. B.He gave up his hobby.
C.He liked the weather there. D.He had disagreements with his family.
2.What do the underlined words“Safe!Safe!Safe!”probably mean?
A.Be careful! B.Well done! C.No way! D.Don't worry!
3.Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?
A.To join the skateboarding. B.To make new friends.
C.To learn more tricks. D.To relive his childhood days.
4.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A.Children should learn a second language. B.Sport is necessary for children's
health.
C.Children need a sense of belonging. D.Seeing the world is a must for
children.

Who is a genius?This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly:Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international
symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of
genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than
the rest of us?And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of
European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the
victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When
contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a
different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are
less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really
smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they
start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.”Can our
planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up?It doesn't
take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication,
we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we
look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not
机密资料 请勿外传 106 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those
with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are
able to change the world.”
1.What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?
A.They're unfair. B.They're conservative.
C.They're objective. D.They're strict.
2.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
A.They think themselves smart.
B.They look up to great thinkers.
C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
3.Why are more geniuses known to the public?
A.Improved global communication. B.Less discrimination against women.
C.Acceptance of victors' concepts. D.Changes in people's social positions.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Geniuses Think Alike B.Genius Takes Many Forms
C.Genius and Intelligence D.Genius and Luck
答案
[语篇解读] 作者主要阐述了人们对天才的认知。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句可知,胜利者为天才俱乐部设定了入
会标准。当俱乐部之外的天才做出贡献时,他们是不会被认可的,而且会被其他人
拒绝。由此可推断出这样的标准是不公平的。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第四段第一、二句可知,女孩在六岁时可能就形成了一
个不说自己的同性非常非常聪明的习惯,而且她们在六岁时就开始避免参加为
“非常非常聪明”的孩子们准备的活动。由此可以推出她们可能受社会观念的
影响。
3.A 细节理解题。由最后一段第二句可知,随着持续的全球交流,会有更多天才
被公众所知,故选A。
4.B 主旨要义题。由最后一段最后两句可知,社会因素,比如性别、种族、阶级,
并不能决定天才的出现。未来的天才来自拥有智慧、创造力、毅力以及单纯的
好运气的人,即天才有很多种形式。

Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old
friend. There's a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time
has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don't change, people do.
And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on
our present mental register. It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings.
But with reading, it's all about the present. It's about the now and what one contributes
to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to
pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every
spring, is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it's his classic
memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的), an aging
writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard's Holy
the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble(随笔)about everything and nothing. The third book
is Julio Cortzar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because
Cortzar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which
might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed
wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader
can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But
remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand
your friends.
1.Why does the author like rereading?
A.It evaluates the writer⁃reader relationship. B.It's a window to a whole
new world.
机密资料 请勿外传 109 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
C.It's a substitute for drinking with a friend. D.It extends the
understanding of oneself.
2.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast?
A.It's a brief account of a trip. B.It's about Hemingway's life as a young
man.
C.It's a record of a historic event. D.It's about Hemingway's friends in
Paris.
3.What does the underlined word “currency” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Debt. B.Reward. C.Allowance. D.Face value.
4.What can we infer about the author from the text?
A.He loves poetry. B.He's an editor. C.He's very ambitious.
D.He teaches reading.
答案

己。故D项正确。

ambitious yet simpler time.可知,这本书讲述的是海明威年轻时候的故事。故B项
正确。
3.B 猜测词义题。根据画线单词所在部分的意思“重读一个作者的作品就是一
个读者对作者最高的回报”可知B项(回报)正确。
4.A 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段,尤其是because poetry可知,因为是诗歌,
作者就多次重读。因此可以判断作者喜欢诗歌。

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while
most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the
Summer Olympics is the 50⁃kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer
than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight
through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact(接触) with the ground
at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity,
however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem
State University in Salem, Mass.

calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about
800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would
burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000
or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr.
Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four
times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground,
create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as
runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does
place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such
injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try
race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn
proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
1.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A.They must run long distances. B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules. D.They are good at swinging their
legs.
2.What advantage does race walking have over running?
A.It's more popular at the Olympics. B.It's less challenging physically.
C.It's more effective in body building. D.It's less likely to cause knee
injuries.
3.What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A.Getting experts' opinions. B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach. D.Doing regular exercises.
4.Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?
A.Skeptical. B.Objective. C.Tolerant.
D.Conservative.

The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific
research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in
Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced
less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their
workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a
step further—changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to
perform diverse, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors
printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can
detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. “We're thinking about how we can engineer
plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,”explained Michael
Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments
using some common vegetables. Strano's team found that they could create a faint
light for three⁃and⁃a⁃half hours. The light, about one⁃thousandth of the amount needed
to read by, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light
the rooms or even to turn trees into self⁃powered street lamps.
In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be
sprayed onto plant leaves in a one⁃off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime.
The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch”where the glow would
fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since
lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)—such as the distance from
a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during
transmission(传输). Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save
energy.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.A new study of different plants. B.A big fall in crime rates.

Some parents will buy any high⁃tech toy if they think it will help their child, but
researchers said puzzles help children with math⁃related skills.
Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young
children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between
ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a
significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents'
income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.
The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child⁃parent pairs during
everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and
46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.
“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not,
on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转) and translate shapes,”Levine said in
a statement.
The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would,
and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time.
Higher⁃income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and
both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys
tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided

more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of
girls.
The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.
1.In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?
A.Building confidence. B.Developing spatial skills.
C.Learning self⁃control. D.Gaining high⁃tech knowledge.
2.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment?
A.Parents' age. B.Children's imagination.
C.Parents' education. D.Child⁃parent relationship.
3.How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play?
A.They play with puzzles more often. B.They tend to talk less during the
game.
C.They prefer to use more spatial language. D.They are likely to play with
tougher puzzles.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.A mathematical method. B.A scientific study.
C.A woman psychologist. D.A teaching program.

When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your
holiday list, fur probably didn't cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion(时
机密资料 请勿外传 116 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur
made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt⁃free fur—
unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”says
Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a
tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild.
“The ecosystem down there can't handle this non⁃native species(物种). It's destroying
the environment. It's them or us,”says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria
collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat⁃sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He
says it's not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about
it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton's job these
days is trying to promote fur.
Then there's Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions. Model Paige Morgan says,
“To give people a guilt⁃free option that they can wear without someone throwing
paint on them—I think that's going to be a massive thing, at least here in New
York.”Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the
opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She's trying to
come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco⁃friendly.
1.What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?
A.To promote guilt⁃free fur. B.To expand the fashion market.
C.To introduce a new brand. D.To celebrate a winter holiday.
2.Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A.Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously. B.Nutria are an endangered
species.
C.Nutria hurt local cat⁃sized animals. D.Nutria are illegally hunted.
3.What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Boomed. B.Became mature. C.Remained stable.
D.Crashed.
4.What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A.It's formal. B.It's risky. C.It's harmful. D.It's
traditional.

[语篇解读] 文章介绍了一些生态学家和时装爱好者试图让海狸鼠毛皮重回市场
及其原因。
1.A 主旨要义题。 根据第一段第二句(不过,一些生态学家和时装爱好者正试图
让海狸鼠毛皮市场复苏),以及第二段Cree McCree所说的话(除非你了解海狸鼠
每年都在破坏大片的湿地,否则毫无愧疚地谈论毛皮听起来很不理智)可推断出A
项(毫无愧疚地销售毛皮)正确。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知海狸鼠是由阿根廷引进的非本地物
种,再结合 Michael Massimi 所说的话(那里的生态系统无法处理这个非本地物
种。它正在破坏环境)可知A项(海狸鼠严重破坏了生态系统)正确。
3.D 猜测词义题。根据第五段中的 but可知,上文(毛皮贸易控制了海狸鼠几十
年)与下文(当海狸鼠市场在20世纪80年代末 ,这种猫般大小的动物疯狂
地繁殖)存在转折关系,可推断出市场应该是“垮掉”了。故选D。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句 Morgan说的话(给人们一个没有负罪感
的选择,他们穿着皮草,却没有人朝他们泼油漆——我觉得那将是一件大事,至少
在纽约是这样)可推断出B项(它是有危险的)正确。

I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can
remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a
day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to
parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a
dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for
story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an
added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来
源)of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library,
where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with
my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled
them with the wonderment of books.
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the
excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.

As a novelist, I've found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to
go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a
safe haven(避风港)for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader
with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为)and I think
all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage
readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media.
Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
1.Which word best describes the author's relationship with books as a child?
A.Cooperative. B.Uneasy. C.Inseparable.
D.Casual.
2.What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Pleasure from working in the library. B.Joy of reading passed on in the
family.
C.Wonderment from acting out the stories. D.A closer bond developed
with the readers.
3.What does the author call on other writers to do?
A.Sponsor book fairs. B.Write for social media.
C.Support libraries. D.Purchase her novels.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Reading:A Source of Knowledge B.My Idea about Writing
C.Library:A Haven for the Young D.My Love of the Library

When “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was first shown to the public last month, a
group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren't
there to throw red paint on fur⁃coat⁃wearing film stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in
a full⁃body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers:“Thanks for
not using real apes(猿)!”
The creative team behind“Apes”used motion⁃capture(动作捕捉)technology to
create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that
records an actor's performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create
a final image(图像). In this case, one of a realistic⁃looking ape.
Yet “Apes” is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on
live animals lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment of
animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this
year. Already, a number of films, including “Water for Elephants,” “The Hangover
PartⅡ”and “Zookeeper,” have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures
acting in them haven't been treated properly.
In some cases, it's not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio
that has activists worried; it's the off⁃set training and living conditions that are raising
concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which
sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.
1.Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard?
A.To see famous film stars. B.To oppose wearing fur coats.
C.To raise money for animal protection. D.To express thanks to some
filmmakers.
2.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The cost of making “Apes.” B.The creation of digitalized apes.

C.The publicity about “Apes.” D.The performance of real apes.
3.What does the underlined phrase “keeping tabs on” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Listing completely. B.Directing professionally.
C.Promoting successfully. D.Watching carefully.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?
A.They may be badly treated. B.They should take further training.
C.They could be traded illegally. D.They would lose popularity.

With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤
独), more families are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his
mother⁃in⁃law: she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and
their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three⁃storey Victorian house in Bristol—
one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together
under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita
Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground
floor.
“We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house,” says Kathryn Whitehead.
Rita cuts in:“We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live
with his mother⁃in⁃law.”
And what does Nick think? “From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well.
Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would.”

It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates
that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the
number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000
in 2001 to 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live
with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home,
if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25⁃34⁃year⁃olds live with their parents,
compared with 16% in 1991. The total number of all multigenerational households in
Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational
living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are
expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married.
1.Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?
A.Nick. B.Rita. C.Kathryn. D.The daughters.
2.What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother⁃in⁃law?
A.Positive. B.Carefree. C.Tolerant. D.Unwilling.
3.What is the author's statement about multigenerational family based on?
A.Family traditions. B.Financial reports. C.Published
statistics. D.Public opinions.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.Lifestyles in different countries. B.Conflicts between generations.
C.A housing problem in Britain. D.A rising trend of living in the UK.

We are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of
years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes(基因), they are finding examples
of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands
have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle⁃raising people in East Africa and
northern Europe have gained a mutation(突变)that helps them digest milk as adults.
On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a
new kind of adaptation—not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of
sea⁃dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as
these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia
and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats;in recent times,
they've also built houses on stilts(支柱)in coastal waters.“They are simply a stranger
to the land,”said Rodney C. Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who studies
the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the
Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish.“We
were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local
islanders,”Dr. Jubilado said.“I could see them actually walking under the sea.”
In 2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of
Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have
led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them.“It
seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,”said Dr.
Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau
dive.
1.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1?
A.Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers. B.New knowledge of human
evolution.
C.Recent findings of human origin. D.Significance of food selection.
2.Where do the Bajau build their houses?
A.In valleys. B.Near rivers. C.On the beach. D.Off
the coast.
3.Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau?
A.They could walk on stilts all day. B.They had a superb way of fishing.
C.They could stay long underwater. D.They lived on both land and water.

For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day,
and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn. The 8⁃year⁃old is the joker of the class. With
机密资料 请勿外传 126 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he's nervous.“I'm here to tell you today why you should...should...”Chris
trips on the “⁃ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non⁃native English speakers.
His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support.“...Vote
for...me...”Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings
his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago.
Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read,
Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you
need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes.“It takes a lot for any
student,”Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their
new language, to feel confident enough to say,‘I don't know, but I want to know.’”
Whaley got the idea of this second⁃grade presidential campaign project when he
asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a
president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just
learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about
themselves.
“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,”Whaley says,“is very difficult
for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”
1.What made Chris nervous?
A.Telling a story. B.Making a speech. C.Taking a test.
D.Answering a question.
2.What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Improper pauses. B.Bad manners. C.Spelling mistakes.
D.Silly jokes.
3.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to .
A.help students see their own strengths B.assess students' public speaking
skills
C.prepare students for their future jobs D.inspire students' love for politics
4.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?
A.Humorous. B.Ambitious. C.Caring.
D.Demanding.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章讲述了Whaley老师关爱学生,鼓励学生发现自己的优点,增强自
机密资料 请勿外传 127 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
信的故事。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句(……今天是演讲日,现在轮到Chris Palaez
了)和第二段第一句(但是他很紧张)可知,B项正确。
2.A 猜测词义题。根据第二段中的“you should...should...”Chris trips on the
“⁃ld,”...可知,他有些发音上的问题,讲话磕磕绊绊的,应该是有些不合适的停顿。
故A选项(不合适的停顿)正确。
3.A 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句(他想要这些孩子学会夸耀自
己)可知答案为A项(帮助学生看到他们自己的优点)。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第二段他低声耳语支持学生、第五段中他想让学生夸耀
自己和第六段中他认为夸耀自己和自己最好的品质对一个没有自信的孩子是很
难的,可知他理解、关心学生们,故选C项(关心他人的)。

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is
growing for biometric(生物测量)technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others
out of private e⁃spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low⁃cost
device(装置)that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard
precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers
apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing
things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These
patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's
identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's
connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already
familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the
word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device
could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very
low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward
to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic⁃like parts. The team
hopes to make it to market in the near future.
1.Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A.To reduce pressure on keys. B.To improve accuracy in typing.
C.To replace the password system. D.To cut the cost of e⁃space protection.
机密资料 请勿外传 128 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
2.What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A.Computers are much easier to operate. B.Fingerprint scanning
techniques develop fast.
C.Typing patterns vary from person to person. D.Data security measures
are guaranteed.
3.What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A.It'll be environment⁃friendly. B.It'll reach consumers soon.
C.It'll be made of plastics. D.It'll help speed up typing.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary. B.A guidebook. C.A novel. D.A
magazine.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文讲了旨在保护信息安全的智能键盘的研制。
1.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知,现在一些阻止别人进入私人电子空间
的技术成本仍然很高。因此,来自Georgia Tech的研究者们想出了一种低成本的
装置——智能键盘,来应对这个问题。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“These patterns are unique to each person.”
可知,因为每个人的打字模式各不相同,所以智能键盘能识别人的身份,保护人的
隐私。
3.B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后两句话,研究者们说键盘应该直接商
业化,智能键盘主要是由价格低廉的类似塑料的配件制成,团队希望它在不久的将
来进入市场。
4.D 推理判断题。文章介绍了一种新的保护电子空间隐私的设备——智能键
盘,并且希望产品能很快走进市场。本文语言客观严谨,属于科普类文章,最有可
能刊登在杂志上。

During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls
and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the
playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose
in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and
playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
Popularity is a well⁃explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a
professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories:the likable and
the status seekers. The likables' plays⁃well⁃with⁃others qualities strengthen schoolyard
机密资料 请勿外传 129 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
friendships, jump⁃start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever
after in life and work. Then there's the kind of popularity that appears in
adolescence:status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein's studies show
unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as
those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(从事)in dangerous
and risky behavior.”
In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235
adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on
student surveys(调查研究).“We found that the least well⁃liked teens had become
more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in
status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high
status has just the opposite effect on us.”
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you
on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you
better able to relate and connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion:Not
only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those
outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of
life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage,”he said.
1.What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?
A.Unkind. B.Lonely. C.Generous. D.Cool.
2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The classification of the popular. B.The characteristics of adolescents.
C.The importance of interpersonal skills. D.The causes of dishonorable
behavior.
3.What did Dr. Prinstein's study find about the most liked kids?
A.They appeared to be aggressive. B.They tended to be more adaptable.
C.They enjoyed the highest status. D.They performed well academically.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Be Nice—You Won't Finish Last B.The Higher the Status, the Better
C.Be the Best—You Can Make It D.More Self⁃Control, Less
Aggressiveness

My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co⁃author of the This Book Will
series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it
gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds. Matilda's battles
with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny
and frightening, but they're also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It's about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping, and
Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life
and discovers a world of diverse“night people”who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the
planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the
beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the
机密资料 请勿外传 131 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand

“You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I
will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for
volunteers for my kids' lacrosse(长曲棍球)club.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety
around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little
persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with
four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids
aren't even on...At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I'll do it.”
I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer

responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends
out emails, and collects money for end⁃of⁃season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the
same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able
to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another
season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching
your own kid score a goal.
Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a
close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep
coming back for more:Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your
time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely
like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too,
does it really matter where my motivation lies?
1.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?
A.She knows little about the club. B.She isn't good at sports.
C.She just doesn't want to volunteer. D.She's unable to meet her schedule.
2.What does the underlined phrase“tug at the heartstrings”in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Encourage teamwork. B.Appeal to feelings.
C.Promote good deeds. D.Provide advice.
3.What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?
A.She gets interested in lacrosse. B.She is proud of her kids.
C.She'll work for another season. D.She becomes a good helper.
4.Why does the author like doing volunteer work?
A.It gives her a sense of duty. B.It makes her very happy.
C.It enables her to work hard. D.It brings her material rewards.

Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly
reading her e⁃book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading?None of your
business!Lunch is Bechtel's “me” time. And like more Americans, she's not alone.
A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than
half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by
themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according
to statistics from the report.
“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?”Bechtel said,
looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has
lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch
at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the
shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to
myself,”she said.
Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his
lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the
barkeeper with whom he's on a first⁃name basis if he wants to have a little
interaction(交流). “I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the
week,”he said. “It's a chance for self⁃reflection. You return to work recharged and
with a plan.”
That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a
time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those
days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It
doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,”said Laurie
Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.
1.What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?
A.Food variety. B.Eating habits. C.Table manners.
D.Restaurant service.
2.Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?
A.To meet with her coworkers. B.To catch up with her work.
机密资料 请勿外传 134 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
C.To have some time on her own. D.To collect data for her report.
3.What do we know about Mazoleny?
A.He makes videos for the bar. B.He's fond of the food at the bar.
C.He interviews customers at the bar. D.He's familiar with the barkeeper.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.The trend of having meals alone. B.The importance of self⁃reflection.
C.The stress from working overtime. D.The advantage of wireless
technology.

Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生
物 )from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space
Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA
overcoming this very tiny big problem?It's turning to a bunch of high school kids. But
not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the
one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High
School in Fairport, New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers.
For the past two years, Gordon's students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in
zero gravity, and they think they're close to a solution(解决方案). “We don't give the
students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,”says Florence
Gold, a project manager.

“There are no tests,”Gordon says.“There is no graded homework. There almost
are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal?’Basically, it's ‘I've got
to produce this product and then, at the end of the year, present it to NASA.’Engineers
come and really do an in⁃person review, and...it's not a very nice thing at times. It's a
hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions
and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back.
I don't teach.” And that annoying bacteria?Gordon says his students are emailing daily
with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in
space.
1.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?
A.They are hard to get rid of. B.They lead to air pollution.
C.They appear in different forms. D.They damage the instruments.
2.What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?
A.To strengthen teacher⁃student relationships.
B.To sharpen students' communication skills.
C.To allow students to experience zero gravity.
D.To link space technology with school education.
3.What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?
A.Check their product. B.Guide project designs.
C.Adjust work schedules. D.Grade their homework.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.NASA:The Home of Astronauts B.Space:The Final Homework Frontier

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration
for Western creative.
“It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for
designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media
company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York
exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works
of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western
fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The
exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese
influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of
beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which
means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its
movement.” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced
by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves
Chinese.“Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz,
机密资料 请勿外传 138 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when
discussing fashion.“The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so
are the consumers,” she says.“China is no longer just another market; in many senses
it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China
—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and
models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
1.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?
A.It promoted the sales of artworks.
B.It attracted a large number of visitors.
C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes.
D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
2.What does Hill say about Chinese women?
A.They are setting the fashion.
B.They start many fashion campaigns.
C.They admire super models.
D.They do business all over the world.
3.What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.learning from B.looking down on
C.working with D.competing against
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C.Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
答案
[语篇解读] 本文主要讲了中国文化对世界时尚界的影响,中国已经成为世界时
尚的风向标。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的 The exhibition had record attendance(展
览的出席人数达到新的纪录)可知,B项(展览吸引了大量的参观者)正确。
2.A 推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知,Hill认为中国女性不仅仅是时尚的消费
者——她们是时尚运动的核心。因此,A项(中国女性开创时尚)符合题意。
3.D 猜测词义题。根据上下文可知,此处表示Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason
Wu 在和Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs竞争,而且在设计和销量上很容易地打败了
他们。 根据语境可知,这里 taking on 的意思是竞争,因此D项(与……竞争)正
机密资料 请勿外传 139 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
确。
4.D 主旨要义题。本文第一段讲了中国及其文化是西方设计界的灵感来源之
一,第二段和第三段进一步解释了中国文化对西方时尚界的影响。第四段介绍了
中国女性对时尚界的影响。最后一段,Hill 总结了中国在国际时尚界的巨大影
响。因此D项是本文最合适的标题。

Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in
America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money,
but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly,
newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition,
most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were
dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s
would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made
widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more
importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)
to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had
to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost
unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be
commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny
—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well⁃known papers
charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public's fancy, and
soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well.
Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in
business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the
tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
1.Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?
A.Academic. B.Unattractive. C.Inexpensive.
D.Confidential.
2.What did street sales mean to newspapers?
A.They would be priced higher. B.They would disappear from cities.
机密资料 请勿外传 140 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
C.They could have more readers. D.They could regain public trust.
3.Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?
A.Local politicians. B.Common people. C.Young publishers.
D.Rich businessmen.
4.What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?
A.It was a difficult process. B.It was a temporary success.
C.It was a robbery of the poor. D.It was a disaster for printers.
答案

This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well.(这种面
向街头普通人的报纸的新趋势一开始发展得并不好。)可知,A项(这是一个艰难
的过程)符合题意。

Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly
different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0~25 drops of water
or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or
added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the
team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch
screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two
symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one
side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the
left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if
机密资料 请勿外传 141 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in
this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go
for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a
calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed
that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single
symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13
over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two
numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added
only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains,”
Dr. Livingstone says.“But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more
attention to the big number than the little one.”
1.What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?
A.They fed them.
B.They named them.
C.They trained them.
D.They measured them.
2.How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?
A.By drawing a circle.
B.By touching a screen.
C.By watching videos.
D.By mixing two drinks.
3.What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?
A.They could perform basic addition.
B.They could understand simple words.
C.They could memorize numbers easily.
D.They could hold their attention for long.
4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Entertainment.B.Health.
C.Education.D.Science.

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent
times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still
populated by hunter⁃gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系)groups developed their own
patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that
10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke
perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers,
and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries,
trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation⁃state and the spread of universal
compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past
few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages
such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these
languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few
languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken
by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages;the Americas about
1,000;Africa 2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New
Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is
a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer
people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消
机密资料 请勿外传 146 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon(eight
remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United
States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia(one, with a question⁃mark):none of these
seems to have much chance of survival.
1.What can we infer about languages in hunter⁃gatherer times?
A.They developed very fast. B.They were large in number.
C.They had similar patterns. D.They were closely connected.
2.Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?
A.Complex. B.Advanced. C.Powerful. D.Modern.
3.How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?
A.About 6,800. B.About 3,400. C.About 2,400.
D.About 1,200.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.New languages will be created.
B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C.Human development results in fewer languages.
D.Geography determines language evolution.

1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句(当世界人口仍然由采猎者构成的时候,小
的、联系紧密的群体彼此独立地形成了自己的讲话模式。)可知当时应该形成了
多种多样的语言,故答案为B项(它们的数量很大)。
2.C 猜测词义题。根据画线词所在句子中的“such as English, Spanish and
Chinese are increasingly taking over”可推知dominant的意思是“占统治地位的,强
大的”,故答案为C项(Powerful)。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句(目前世界上大约有6,800种语言。)和第
三段最后一句(……这意味着世界的语言中有一半的语言,其使用人数不足
6,000。)可知,答案为B项(6,800×1/2=3,400)。
4.C 主旨要义题。作者在首段首句介绍了本文的主题,即语言几千年来一直变
化不定,但在最近时期,其数量越来越少。然后进一步解释造成这种现象的原因是

We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first
机密资料 请勿外传 147 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old
devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That's bad news for the environment—
and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the
newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her
colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the
environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are
mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how
home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by
generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992.
Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smartphones, and
LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones.
“The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and
suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,”said one researcher.
The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13
in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices—we continue to use them.
According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with
cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and
contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放) more than doubling during the 1992
to 2007 window.
So what's the solution(解决方案)?The team's data only went up to 2007, but the
researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with
new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word
processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing
on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by
44%.
1.What does the author think of new devices?
A.They are environment-friendly.
B.They are no better than the old.
C.They cost more to use at home.
D.They go out of style quickly.
2.Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?
A.To reduce the cost of minerals.

B.To test the life cycle of a product.
C.To update consumers on new technology.
D.To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
3.Which of the following uses the least energy?
A.The box-set TV.
B.The tablet.
C.The LCD TV.
D.The desktop computer.
4.What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?
A.Stop using them.

答案
[语篇解读] 我们也许认为当新的科技产品出现时,人们会将已经落后、过时的
东西抛弃,但研究发现事实并非如此。陈旧的产品仍然被使用着,但是使用起来消
耗的能源多、污染大,的确应该及时淘汰。
1.A 推理判断题。本题题干意为:作者认为新装置怎么样?根据第一段最后一句
可知,继续使用过时的装置对环境和我们的钱包来说都不是好消息,因为它们与新
装置相比,做相同的事情会消耗更多的能源。由此可判断,作者认为新装置有利于
环保。
2.D 细节理解题。本题题干意为:为什么Babbitt的团队要进行这项研究?根据第
二段第一句可知,为了弄清楚这些设备消耗多少电量,Babbitt和同事们持续跟踪
每个产品在其使用周期内的环境成本。D项意为“为了查清这些装置耗费的电
量”,与文章内容一致。
3.B 细节理解题。本题题干意为:以下哪种装置耗能最少?根据第一段可知新装
置耗费的能量较少,而第二段则指出与其他几种装置相比,tablets(平板电脑)出现
的时间最晚,为最新的科技产品,而且最后一段指出,tablets具有多种功能,比电视
和台式电脑消耗的能量少,故B项正确。
4.A 推理判断题。本题题干意为:文章建议人们如何处理陈旧的电子设备?最后

Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone
fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's
fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because
of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc(not that
fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物
质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we
turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries(樱桃), they are so
delicious. Who cares?However, they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an
excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat“ice cream”. For this purpose,
select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place
them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon
juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last
several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or
sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve”creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This

Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a
Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the
report shows that reading remains a big part of many children's lives, and indicates
how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report's key findings, “the proportion( 比例)who say they
‘hardly ever’read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13⁃year⁃olds and 9 percent of
17⁃year⁃olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—
8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has
declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议)
parents looking for data about the effect of e⁃readers and tablets on reading. It does
point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about
increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents
serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading.
Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent
readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who
read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近)

ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading
list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
1.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A.Children's reading habits. B.Quality of children's books.
C.Children's after⁃class activities. D.Parent⁃child relationships.
2.Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for
fun”?
A.In paragraph 2. B.In paragraph 3. C.In paragraph 4.
D.In paragraph 5.
3.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A.E⁃books are of poor quality. B.It could be a waste of time.
C.It may harm children's health. D.E⁃readers are expensive.
4.How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A.Act as role models for them. B.Ask them to write book reports.
C.Set up reading groups for them. D.Talk with their reading class
teachers.
答案
[语篇解读] 根据“常识媒体”所做的一项调查可知,与过去相比,十几岁的孩子
进行趣味阅读的量越来越少。
1.A 主旨要义题。本文为说明文,第一段为本文的主旨段。根据第一段(根据周
一出版的“常识媒体”的一个报告,十几岁的孩子和更小的孩子进行趣味阅读的
量少多了。)可知该报告主要讲的是孩子们的阅读习惯的变化,故答案为A项。
2.B 细节理解题。本文第一段提出了本文主题,即孩子们进行趣味阅读的量越
来越少。然后在第三段通过数据(...has gone from 8 percent of 13⁃year⁃olds and 9
percent of 17⁃year⁃olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.)来支
撑这一说法,故答案为B项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句(……许多家长仍然限制电子阅读,主要
是因为他们担心那会增加孩子面对屏幕的时间。)可知家长限制电子阅读的原因
是担心孩子们的健康,故答案为C项。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第六段第一句(报告中分享的最给人以希望的数据清楚
地证明了家长给孩子们做出榜样并在阅读上进行重要的指导。)可知答案为A项
(为他们树立榜样)。

We've all been there:in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by
机密资料 请勿外传 154 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling
with the uncomfortable silence.
What's the problem?It's possible that we all have compromised conversational
intelligence. It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward
and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find
yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it's
an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep
relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation. Small talk is the
grease(润滑剂)for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the
Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast.“Almost every great love
story and each big business deal begins with small talk,”he explains. “The key to
successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate
with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC,
invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an
interaction(互动)with its waiter;the other, to speak only when necessary. The results
showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive
feelings and a better coffee shop experience.“It's not that talking to the waiter is better
than talking to your husband,”says Dunn.“But interactions with peripheral( 边 缘
的)members of our social network matter for our well⁃being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater
sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of
belonging starts with small talk.“Small talk is the basis of good manners,”he says.
1.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A.Addiction to smartphones.
B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.
C.Absence of communication between strangers.
D.Impatience with slow service.
2.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?
A.Showing good manners. B.Relating to other people.
C.Focusing on a topic. D.Making business deals.
3.What does the coffee⁃shop study suggest about small talk?
A.It improves family relationships. B.It raises people's confidence.
机密资料 请勿外传 155 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
C.It matters as much as a formal talk. D.It makes people feel good.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Conversation Counts B.Ways of Making Small Talk
C.Benefits of Small Talk D.Uncomfortable Silence
答案
[语篇解读] 本文介绍了“small talk(闲聊)”的重要性及其意义。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段描述(无论我们身在何处,在电梯里、在银行排队
或者在飞机上,我们周围的人或是像我们一样在埋头看智能手机,或者更糟的是,
在和令人不安的沉默做斗争。)可知,C项“陌生人之间缺乏交流”和首段描述一
致。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句(成功的闲聊的关键是学会如何同他人
建立联系而不仅仅是同他们交流。)可知,B项符合题意。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的内容(结果表明那些同服务生闲聊的人明显
有更高的积极情感和较好的咖啡店体验。不是同服务生交谈比和你的丈夫交谈
更好,而是同社交网络的边缘人员的互动也对我们的健康和幸福很重要。)可知,D
项“它使得人们感觉良好”与题意相符。
4.C 主旨要义题。根据第二段最后一句(专家说闲聊是一种可带来巨大益处的
极有价值的社交行为。)以及最后一段最后一句(闲聊是良好举止的基础)可知,C
项“闲聊的益处”与题干要求一致。

to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at
the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from
800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.
Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was
unmapped wilderness(荒野).But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years
later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or
Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow⁃covered mountains and
sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty
feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche(雪崩)once closed the
path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were
worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich.
About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities
like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended
on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no
interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in
Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come
and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief
industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.
1.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?
A.Its business culture. B.Its small population.
C.Its geographical position. D.Its favourable climate.
2.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?
A.Two⁃thirds of them stayed there. B.One out of five people got rich.
C.Almost everyone gave up. D.Half of them died.
3.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?
A.They found the city too crowded. B.They wanted to try their luck
elsewhere.
C.They were unable to stand the winter. D.They were short of food.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.The rise and fall of a city. B.The gold rush in Canada.
C.Journeys into the wilderness. D.Tourism in Dawson.

为例,给出了隐藏在背后的真正推手。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段第三句话(例如纽约市,它在哈得孙河入海口的一
个大港口附近。)并结合第四句可知,这个优越的地理位置使得纽约市的人口在
300年的时间里从800增长到800万。所以答案为C项。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句话(在第一批淘金的 20,000人中,有
4,000人富了起来。)可知有五分之一的人富了起来,故B项正确。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第三段第四句话第一个逗号后的部分(当他们听说在阿
拉斯加州发现了新的金矿后,他们就像当初匆忙来道森市一样,又匆忙离开了这
里)可推断出这些人匆匆忙忙离开这里去阿拉斯加州淘金去了,又去碰运气看能不
能变富。B项“他们想去别的地方碰运气。”与原文意思相符。
4.A 主旨要义题。文章第一段第一句话提出观点:一个城市之所以矗立在那里
是有充分的原因的。后文以两个城市为例来论证这个观点。纽约市的兴起是因
为它优越的地理位置。道森市的兴起是因为这里发现了金矿,而这座城市的衰落
是因为这里没有了金矿。由此可知本文主要描述了一个城市的兴起和衰落及其

While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark
buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the
Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take
the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49⁃year⁃old Chinese
architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the
Nobel Prize in architecture—on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win
this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of
Art(CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in
Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original
creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.
Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building
types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills,
forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked
机密资料 请勿外传 159 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and
corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and
traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good
knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of
Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That
is only evidence that traditions once existed,”he said.
“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think
tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that
have been developing and that are still being created,”he said.
“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather
than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without
knowing what they really are,”said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the
recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
1.Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are .
A.following the latest world trend B.getting international recognition
C.working harder than ever before D.relying on foreign architects
2.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?
A.Its hilly environment. B.Its large size.
C.Its unique style. D.Its diverse functions.
3.What made Wang's architectural design a success?
A.The mixture of different shapes. B.The balance of East and West.
C.The use of popular techniques. D.The harmony of old and new.
4.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?
A.Spread them to the world. B.Preserve them at museums.
C.Teach them in universities. D.Recreate them in practice.

Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often
assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings?The good news
is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
I found the pre⁃holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate
less⁃used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did
decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for
her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often
used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金)(our kindergarten
daughter is serious about becoming a doctor).
For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a
habit for them?And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use
less?Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on
this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his
interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten
minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball—simple, universally available. We passed it,
he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it.
It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it
was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full
attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for
both of us.
1.What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.The more, the better. B.Enough is enough.
C.More money, more worries. D.Earn more and spend more.
2.What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?
A.Saving up for her holiday. B.Raising money for a poor girl.
C.Adding the money to her fund. D.Giving the money to a sick mother.
3.Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?

题的答案在最后一段;根据最后一段中的“Today, Pacific Science Center...and
brings inquiry-based science education to classrooms and ...(当今,太平洋科学中

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at
Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures
can be heartbreaking;survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply
beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫
头鹰)on the ground. When Iarrived, I saw a 2- to 3-week-old owl. It had already been
placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟)and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might
have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and
anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine
branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in
the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the
homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the
presence of chicks to adults;they might also encourage our chick to start calling as
well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what
news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!
The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove
over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was
accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH!The parents had done
their duty and would probably continue to do so.
1.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?
机密资料 请勿外传 164 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A.Efforts made in vain.
B.Getting injured in his work.
C.Feeling uncertain about his future.
D.Creatures forced out of their homes.
2.Why was the author called to Muttontown?
A.To rescue a woman.
B.To take care of a woman.
C.To look at a baby owl.
D.To cure a young owl.
3.What made the chick calm down?
A.A new nest. B.Some food.
C.A recording. D.Its parents.
4.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?
A.It’s unexpected.
B.It’s beautiful.
C.It’s humorous.
D.It’s discouraging.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文,讲述了一位志愿者成功救助一只落到地上的猫头鹰
雏鸟的故事。作者为猫头鹰雏鸟编织了一个鸟巢放在树上,并请人播放猫头鹰雏
鸟叫声的录音,最终成功引回猫头鹰雏鸟的父母来照顾它。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的 “can be heartbreaking;survival is never
certain”可知,拯救野生生物的工作有时令人心碎,因为动物不一定能活下来,也就
是说可能会徒劳无功,由此可知答案为 A 项。B:在工作中受伤;C:对未来不确
定;D:生物会被迫离开栖息地。以上三项在文中均未被提及,故全部排除。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “She had found a young owl on the ground.”
和第三段中的“I examined the chick and it seemed fine.”可知,作者接到一位居住
在 Muttontown 的妇女的电话,于是赶过去看看这只雏鸟的情况。选项 C 中的
“look at(检查)”与文中的“examined”相对应,故答案为C项。
3.A 细节理解题。题干中的“calm down”是关键词。文中第四段指出,作者把雏
鸟放进特意为它做的鸟巢后,它很快安静了下来,由此可知新的鸟巢使雏鸟平静了
下来,故答案为A项。其他选项的信息是故事发展到后期出现的,故排除。
4.B 推理判断题。短文的最后三句描写作者看到巢中的小猫头鹰十分健康、活
跃,最令人喜悦的是它的父母给它觅来了午餐。由此可以推断小猫头鹰今后也将
得到其父母的悉心照料。作者对事件结局的感受通过“the greatest sight”表现出

来,与文章第一段中的“beautiful”相呼应。因此答案应为B项。

Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New
Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO(United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)recently set April 30 as a day to
raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying( 联
合)voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to
shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It's Jason Moran's job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center's artistic
adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more
accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite,”Moran tells
National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan.“What I'm hoping to accomplish is that
my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black
and white anymore. It's actually color, and it's actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect
of the music has been lost.“The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908
or 1958.It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the
same,”says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a
dance party,“just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much
as it is concert music,”says Moran.“For me, it's the recontextualization. In music,
where does the emotion(情感)lie?Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟)on
how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record
gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts?Sometimes we lose sight
that the music has a wider context,”says Moran,“so I want to continue those
dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
1.Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A.To remember the birth of jazz.
B.To protect cultural diversity.
C.To encourage people to study music.
D.To recognize the value of jazz.
2.What does the underlined word“that”in paragraph 3 refer to?
机密资料 请勿外传 166 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A.Jazz becoming more accessible.
B.The production of jazz growing faster.
C.Jazz being less popular with the young.
D.The jazz audience becoming larger.
3.What can we infer about Moran's opinion on jazz?
A.It will disappear gradually.
B.It remains black and white.
C.It should keep up with the times.
D.It changes every 50 years.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Exploring the Future of Jazz
B.The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C.The Story of a Jazz Musician
D.Celebrating the Jazz Day
答案
[语篇解读] 虽然美国爵士乐在文化交流中起着积极的作用,但是它的前景堪
忧。目前爵士乐的听众越来越少,且年轻人不喜欢爵士乐。Moran试图改变其现
状,他建议爵士乐要与时俱进,运用多种元素来适应现实,让其成为一种年轻人喜
欢的艺术表现形式。
1.D 细节理解题。本题问联合国教科文组织(UNESCO)为什么把4月30日设为
“国际爵士乐日”。根据第一段最后一句中的 “...to raise awareness of jazz
music, its significance, and...”可知联合国教科文组织设立“国际爵士乐日”的目
的是让更多人了解爵士乐,了解它的意义和它在跨文化交流中的潜在作用,即让人
们认识到它的价值,故答案为D项。
2.C 猜测词义题。第三段中that所在的句子起到承接上段的作用,由此可知that
所指的内容应在第二段。第二段指出爵士乐听众减少并呈现老龄化趋势,不受年
轻人欢迎。改变这一点正是Jason Moran的工作,故答案为C项。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“It has to continue to move, because...”可
知,Moran认为爵士乐需要不断地前进,因为当今的世界和以前的已经不一样了。
由此推断出Moran对爵士乐的看法应该是:爵士乐应该跟上时代的脚步。所以答
案为C项。
4.A 主旨要义题。第一段作者提到为了让人们认识到爵士乐的价值而设立了国
际爵士乐日;后面描述了爵士乐的现状,指出了为什么现在的年轻人不接受它;再
结合最后一段中的“so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I
want to foster.”可知,本文的主题就是探索爵士乐的未来,答案为A项。

A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking
water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it's an excellent water collector. Unfortunately,
you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it's all but impossible to find
natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5'×5' sheet of clear or
slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking
cup—to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and
fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet
across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water
catcher's productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube
in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—
and out—the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with
dirt and weighting the sheet's center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a
cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be
centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water
evaporates(蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down
the material, and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the
refreshment out through the tube, and won't have to break down the still every time
you need a drink.
1.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A.It's delicate.
B.It's expensive.
C.It's complex.
D.It's portable.
2.What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher”in paragraph 2
refer to?
A.The tube. B.The still.
C.The hole. D.The cup.
3.What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A.Dig a hole of a certain size.
机密资料 请勿外传 168 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
B.Put the cup in place.
C.Weight the sheet's center down.
D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
4.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from .
A.the plastic tube
B.outside the hole
C.the open air
D.beneath the sheet
答案
[语篇解读] 文章介绍了在野外自制蒸馏装置收集饮用水的过程及其工作原
理。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句,尤其是尾句These pieces can be folded
into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.可知该装置是可折叠的、便携的
(portable),故答案为D项。
2.B 猜测词义题。根据第二段前两句可知,画线短语指代的是该段首句中的 a
working still,故答案为B项。
3.C 细节理解题。本题问制作蒸馏器的最后一个步骤是什么。根据第二、三段
可知四个选项的正确顺序是A→B→D→C,故答案为C项。
4.D 细节理解题。本题问蒸馏器工作时水滴从何处进入杯子。根据尾段前两句
可知该装置是利用蒸发到塑料薄片上的水分凝聚成水滴,最后滴落到杯子中,故答
案为D项。

I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio
didn't want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up
for me. I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have
listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting
four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we
both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)
and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the
qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and
making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. Those were also
at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should
put something back—he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall
camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the
festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us
together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital. He and I
both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that
didn't need a lot of words.

1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?
A.Paul Newman wanted it.
B.The studio powers didn't like his agent.
C.He wasn't famous enough.
D.The director recommended someone else.
2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?
A.They were of the same age.
B.They worked in the same theater.
C.They were both good actors.
D.They had similar characteristics.

A.Their belief.
B.Their care for children.
C.Their success.
D.Their support for each other.
4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To show his love of films.
B.To remember a friend.

D.To share his acting experience.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文讲述了作者与著名演员保罗·纽曼的友情。文章内容包括:两个
人最初相识的情景(第一段),友谊的基础(第二段),两人成名后以实际行动回报社
会(第三段),回忆与保罗最后见面的情景(第四段)。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的 “it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”
可知,这家电影公司不想把这个角色给作者,是因为他们想把角色给像保罗这样出
名的人,由此推断作者当时知名度还不够高,所以答案为C项。
2.D 推理判断题。第二段指出他们的友谊建立于共同参演两部电影的经历。但
他们的友谊能够长久,根本原因是他们有相似的特性:一是具有剧院演出和参加电
视直播的背景;二是看重演技、专注于对角色的探究和发掘;三是他们都具有典型
美国演员所具有的品质和美德。根据以上信息可推断出答案为D。
3.A 猜测词义题。根据本段第一句话 “We shared the belief that if...”可知,我们
共同的信念(belief)是:如果你有幸事业成功,就应该进行回报。文章接着介绍了两
人在这方面的具体作为,画线词所在分句意为“但是分享我们的信念使我们走到
了一起”,所以答案为A项。
机密资料 请勿外传 172 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
4.B 推理判断题。文章开头作者介绍了自己与著名演员保罗·纽曼相识的情景,
后面描述了两人的交往和深厚的友谊。最后一段指出“我几个月前最后一次见
到保罗,他几乎离不开医院了”,由此可推断作者发表此文时,保罗或许已经离世,
由此推断出作者写这篇文章就是为了缅怀故友。所以答案为B项。

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,
bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.
The vehicle—named the Transition—has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold
up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight
minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air.
It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the
ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition
when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces
the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don't
expect it to show up in too many driveways. It's expected to cost $279,000. And it
won't help if you're stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to
Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer
than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted
the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The
Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety
standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's
decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft,
which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would
need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the
Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.The basic data of the Transition.
B.The advantages of flying cars.
C.The potential market for flying cars.
D.The designers of the Transition.
机密资料 请勿外传 173 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
2.Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?
A.It causes traffic jams.
B.It is difficult to operate.
C.It is very expensive.
D.It burns too much fuel.
3.What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car?
A.Cautious. B.Favorable.
C.Ambiguous. D.Disapproving.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Flying Car at Auto Show
B.The Transition's First Flight
C.Pilots' Dream Coming True
D.Flying Car Closer to Reality
答案
[语篇解读] 本文介绍了一种可飞行的汽车的研发情况。内容包括其基本技术
数据信息以及预计价格,政府对该产品研发在政策上的支持以及对未来驾驶这种
车辆的人员的要求等。
1.A 主旨要义题。第一段中首先转述了Terrafugia公司的消息,接着详细介绍了
这种能飞行的汽车的资料:两个座位、四个轮子、上个月在1,400英尺的高空飞
行了8分钟、速度在道路上大约每小时70英里、在空中每小时约115英里以及
油耗等。所以第一段主要介绍了这种汽车的基本资料,答案为A项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的 “But don't expect it to show up in too many
driveways. It's expected to cost $279,000.” 可推断出,这种汽车不可能在路上大量
出现的原因是这种汽车的价格昂贵。故答案为C项。
3.B 推理判断题。文章没有直接表述政府态度的语句,但根据第三段中的
“The government has already permitted the company to use...”可知,政府已经许可
这个公司使用特殊材料让这种车更容易飞起来。由此推断出政府的态度是肯定
的,所以答案为B项。
4.D 主旨要义题。根据第一段第一句话 “...bringing the company closer to its
goal of selling the flying car within the next year.”以及后文对这种汽车的现状和前
景的详细描述可推断出本文的主题应该是:快要成为现实的飞行汽车。所以答案
为D项。

When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983, two
scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting
bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These
chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the
plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic
compounds, VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being
attacked. It's a plant's way of crying out. But is anyone listening?Apparently. Because
we can watch the neighbors react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do
double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are
natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker
who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the
neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors,
relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other?Scientists don't know. Maybe the
first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and
so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened
to“overhear”the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a true, intentional
back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and
more intimate(亲密的)than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak.
There's a whole lot going on.
1.What does a plant do when it is under attack?
A.It makes noises.
B.It gets help from other plants.
C.It stands quietly.
D.It sends out certain chemicals.
2.What does the author mean by“the tables are turned”in paragraph 3?
A.The attackers get attacked.
B.The insects gather under the table.
C.The plants get ready to fight back.
D.The perfumes attract natural enemies.

答案
[语篇解读] 本文为介绍科普知识的说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家所揭示的
植物抵御昆虫袭击和传递信息的奥秘。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段枫树的例子可知,当其受到攻击时,受到伤害的部
位会释放出被称为VOCs的化学物质,由第二段第一句可知所有的植物受到攻击
时都会做出这种反应,故D项正确。植物被攻击时释放出的是化学物质而不是噪
音,故排除A;释放出的化学物质是对其他植物的警示,而不是从其他植物那里得
到帮助,故排除B;根据第一段首句可排除C项。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,某些植物受到攻击时,会释放出某种香味,将
攻击者的天敌吸引过来,由此可知当它们到来时,情况发生了反转,原先享用午餐
(侵害树木)的攻击者将会成为其天敌的午餐,即成为被攻击者,故A项正确。
3.B 推理判断题。根据文章前三段所描述的树木在遭到昆虫袭击后的反应,加
之第四段所介绍的树木的损伤情况和周边树木接到警报后的反应,可以概括出植
物能够保护自身不受昆虫侵害这一点。故正确答案为B。
4.C 推理判断题。最后一段提到,150多年前,达尔文就曾想到生物世界比我们
所看到、听到的更加繁忙,更加吵闹,也更加亲密,我们的感官不够强大,很多东西
未被感知到。由此可推断出,这个世界比其表面看上去更加复杂,故C项正确。

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees
were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had
been repeated many times in the theater's 75-year history. This time, however, the
cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another
group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the
building's end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old
theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with
teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed
Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a
small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the
机密资料 请勿外传 178 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Plaza to compete. He added that the theater's location(位置)was also a reason.“This
used to be the center of town,”he said.“Now the area is mostly office buildings and
warehouses.”
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning
the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were
abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a
local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where
the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last
time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be
missed.
1.In what way was yesterday's cleanup at the Plaza special?
A.It made room for new equipment.
B.It signaled the closedown of the theater.
C.It was done with the help of the audience.
D.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.
2.Why was The Last Picture Show put on?
A.It was an all-time classic.
B.It was about the history of the town.
C.The audience requested it.
D.The theater owner found it suitable.
3.What will probably happen to the building?
A.It will be repaired.
B.It will be turned into a museum.
C.It will be knocked down.
D.It will be sold to the city government.
4.What can we infer about the audience?
A.They are disappointed with Bradford.
B.They are sad to part with the old theater.
C.They are supportive of the city officials.
D.They are eager to have a shopping center.

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone
National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park.
By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of
the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human
development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone
area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer
humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk
populations—major food sources(来源)for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals
consumed large amounts of vegetation(植被),which reduced plant diversity in the
park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes
killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's
beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing
wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk
and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves
would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the
wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf
packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is

fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers
and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a
valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other
parts of the country as well.
1.What is the text mainly about?
A.Wildlife research in the United States.
B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
2.What does the underlined word“displaced”in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Tested. B.Separated.
C.Forced out. D.Tracked down.
3.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?
A.Damage to local ecology.
B.A decline in the park's income.
C.Preservation of vegetation.
D.An increase in the variety of animals.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文讲述了经过多年激烈的争论,美国政府终于从加拿大重新把14
匹灰狼引入黄石国家公园,以恢复当地的生态平衡。
1.D 主旨要义题。全篇自始至终谈论的就是重新把灰狼引入美国黄石国家公
园,故正确选项应为D。
2.C 猜测词义题。短文第二段描述灰狼曾经在黄石地区和美国大陆的大部分地
区生活,由于人类的发展,到20世纪20年代,灰狼几乎在黄石地区消失了。由此可
以判断肯定是人类的发展“逼走”了灰狼,迫使灰狼迁徙到加拿大的森林地区。
故正确选项为C。
3.A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知灰狼的消失产生了许多出乎意料的结果。作
为灰狼食物来源的其他动物繁衍过快,导致当地植被被过度消耗,公园的植物多样
性遭到破坏;没有了天敌灰狼,当地的郊狼迅速繁衍,而郊狼杀死了公园大部分的
红狐,也让河狸丧失了栖息之地。因此考生可以判断黄石国家公园的生态系统遭
到破坏,故最佳选项为A。

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric
car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges
faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in
health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more
isolated(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle
technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving
into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and
intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains:“For many older people,
particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving
their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to
rely on others.”
“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this
often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and
losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before
they really need to.”
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: “The
DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key stress points and difficulties are
for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”
“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than
everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep
at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of
getting fined. We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a
way of preventing that.”
“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to
ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”
1.What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?
A.To explore new means of transport.
B.To design new types of cars.
C.To find out older drivers' problems.

2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?
A.It keeps them independent.
B.It helps them save time.
C.It builds up their strength.
D.It cures their mental illnesses.
3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?
A.Improve their driving skills.
B.Develop driver-assist technologies.
C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D.Organize regular physical checkups.

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel
Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most
important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams(1860—1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.
Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of
community( 社区 )by creating shelters and promoting education and services for
people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel
Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907—1964)
If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist
today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of
pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and
oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor(1930—present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School,
in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became
an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S.
Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her
24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks(1913—2005)
On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up
her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it
also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off
the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,”said Parks.
1.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A.Her social work.
B.Her teaching skills.
C.Her efforts to win a prize.
D.Her community background.

Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned
to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to
help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion
did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations
机密资料 请勿外传 185 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have
had in separate cities.
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer
to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is
growing. Even President Obama's mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to
leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters.
According to a study by grandparents.com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs.
Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds
believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far
enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby,
publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important
family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you're raising
children.”
Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or
her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no
and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially
knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
1.Why was Garza's move a success?
A.It strengthened her family ties.
B.It improved her living conditions.
C.It enabled her to make more friends.
D.It helped her know more new places.
2.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson's decision?
A.17% expressed their support for it.
B.Few people responded sympathetically.
C.83% believed it had a bad influence.
D.The majority thought it was a trend.
3.What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A.They were unsure of themselves.
B.They were eager to raise more children.
C.They wanted to live away from their parents.
D.They had little respect for their grandparents.
4.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A.Make decisions in the best interests of their own.

答案
[语篇解读] 文章主要讲述了老人搬家和子孙辈一起居住的一种新趋势,并且作

1.A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句中的 giving them a closer
relationship可知选择A项。B、C、D三项均为文中未提及的内容。
2.D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四句可知,83%的人们说Robinson夫人的
决定将会影响美国家庭的祖父母们,由此可判断这些人认为这是一个趋势,故选D
项,注意C项错在bad,文中未提及是坏的影响。
3.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句可知,在20世纪60年代,我们有点野,
总想离家更远更快来证明自己可以独立,由此可判断选择C项。A项,根据他们想
离家来证明自己可判断是非常自信的,因此可排除。B项和原文不符。D项,文中

I am Peter Hodes,a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89
trips—of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in
my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last. In all, from
the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者)to the time they can be
implanted in the patient, we've got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of
time.
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up
the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then
back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on
the desk said: “Well, I'm really sorry, I've got some bad news for you—there are no
flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:“In this
box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you've
got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She
arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed(改道)me through
Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
For this courier job,you're consciously aware that in that box you've got

B.The donor can only wait for that long.
C.The operation needs that much time.
D.The ice won't last any longer.
3.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?
A.To London. B.To Newark.
C.To Providence. D.To Washington.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作为干细胞运送志愿者的
Peter Hodes在美国遇到飓风,航班被取消,后来得到帮助的经历。

人身上最多有 72小时的时间,由此可判断作者是干细胞的运送者,故选 B项。
A、C、D三项和作者的递送工作无任何关系,因此可排除。
2.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句可知作者有两个冰袋,而它们能持续
的时间为42小时,故选D项。A项意为“他不能离开工作太长时间”。B项意为
“捐献者只能等那么长时间”。C项意为“手术需要很长时间”。

thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a
conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be
viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may
be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups
value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of
communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.

Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops,
what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has
been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with
conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.
For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show
agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may
use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to
that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures
may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of
silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be
experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of
silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on
unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈)value of silence can use this
understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
1.What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A.It implies anger. B.It promotes friendship.
C.It is culture-specific. D.It is content-based.
2.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?

C.The Mexicans. D.The Russians.
3.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B.Break it while treating patients.
C.Evaluate its harm to patients.
D.Make use of its healing effects.
4.What may be the best title for the text?

B.What It Means to Be Silent

06-2016课标全国Ⅱ,B
Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test
at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of
Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.
You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class
would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to
one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own
imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free
time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his
bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an
exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected
teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染)other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those
students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare,“But I'm
just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you're asleep?”
“Oh,sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell
something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three
heads.“That's pretty creative. Who does that for you?”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really—at night, when you're asleep?”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”
1.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .
A.know more about the students
B.make the lessons more exciting
C.raise the students' interest in art
D.teach the students about toy design
2.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.He liked to help his teacher.
机密资料 请勿外传 192 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
B.He preferred to study alone.
C.He was active in class.
D.He was imaginative.
3.What does the underlined word“downside”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Mistake. B.Drawback.
C.Difficulty. D.Burden.
4.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A.To help them to see their creativity.
B.To find out about their sleeping habits.
C.To help them to improve their memory.
D.To find out about their ways of thinking.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups.
They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website
BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.
BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book.Then the
person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure,
traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
机密资料 请勿外传 193 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says,“The two things
that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing
combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee
shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they
thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about
where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to
be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the
“real”and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in
more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first-rate photo-
journalism—if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914
through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难),by a cameraman who
had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice
chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that
was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,
27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea. From that point
Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇)across the continent. The
journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had
done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his
four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched
story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.
Scott's last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the
world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a
onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South
Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie
and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer
who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never
before been published.

C.Money making. D.Treasure hunting.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过Frank Hurley的照片讲述了那次航行
的背景。
1.D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句可知,Frank Hurley的照片拍摄于1914
年到1916年,大多数是在经历海难后,在没有生存的希望的情况下拍摄的,由此可
判断它们记录了一次海难。
2.C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的 The journey was intended to achieve
more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.以及下句可知,1912年Robert
Falcon Scott到达了南极,而Endurance航行的目的是超越他,但是遭遇了海难,由
此可判断Robert Falcon Scott到达南极的时间更早。
3.C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句中的 a thoroughly commercial effort可
知,Alexander认为那时的冒险完全是一种商业行为,也就是为了赚钱,因此可判断
选C项。

On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take
a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side
cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.
“Hey, aren't you from Mississippi?”the elegant, white-haired writer remembered
being asked by the stranger.“I'm from Mississippi too.”
Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner
partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.
“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,”Welty said.“I didn't know
what my New York friends were thinking.”
Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group
got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty's new friends immediately sent a waiter
to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were
amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a
Mississippi state reunion(团聚).
“My friend said:‘Now we believe your stories,’”Welty added.“And I said:‘Now
you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”
Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked
pleased with this explanation.
“I don't make them up,”she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so
years.“I don't have to.”
Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty's
people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the
streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys
Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train,
she hears only a fragment(片断)of a particularly interesting story.
1.What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?
A.Two strangers joined her.
B.Her childhood friends came in.

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of
Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like
Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now
spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of
apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden
Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the
range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the
Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the
knobbly(多疙瘩的)Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the
very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm,
sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers
who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit
your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no
news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.
But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控)in different ways,
researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people's e-mails and online posts,
scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and
sob stories.
“The‘if it bleeds’rule works for mass media,”says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the
University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're
feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they
react. You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and
reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than
negative(消极的), but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.
Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good
things than bad things?To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people
spread a particular set of news stories:thousands of articles on The New York Times'
website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the“most e-mailed”list for six months.
One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely
to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times'
readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired
negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They
needed to be aroused(激发)one way or the other, and they preferred good news to
bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger
explains in his new book,“Contagious:Why Things Catch On.”
1.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?
A.News reports. B.Research papers.
C.Private e-mails. D.Daily conversations.
2.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?
A.They're socially inactive.
B.They're good at telling stories.
C.They're inconsiderate of others.
D.They're careful with their words.
3.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger's research?

The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this
winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,Florida,my bags were
packed before you could say“sunshine”.I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维
生素 C),thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies
and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools,wine
tasting,and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours,not 4 in the afternoon)filled the
weekend,but the best part—particularly to my taste,dulled by months of cold-weather
root vegetables—was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to
be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7
a.m.to 1 p.m.,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red
strawberries;the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck;and most of all,the
tomatoes:amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken,vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的)promise,I've refused
to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I
get them home they're unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.But I homed in,with
uncertainty,on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand,full of fresh and
soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal—and at that moment,I
realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back
home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my happiness deepened when I
learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly
opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where—luckily for me—I was planning
to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu,I knew I'd be ordering
every tomato on it.
1.What did the author think of her winter life in New York?
A.Exciting. B.Boring. C.Relaxing. D.Annoying.

2.What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?
A.Having a swim.
B.Breathing in fresh air.
C.Walking in the morning sun.
D.Visiting a local farmers' market.
3.What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?

4.What was the author going to do that evening?
A.Go to a farm. B.Check into a hotel.
C.Eat in a restaurant. D.Buy fresh vegetables.

Conflict is on the menu tonight at the cafe La Chope.This evening,as on every
Thursday night,psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favorite
pastimes,coffee drinking and the“talking cure”.Here they are learning to get in touch
with their true feelings.It isn't always easy.The customers—some thirty Parisians who
pay just under $2(plus drinks)per session—are quick to intellectualize( 高 谈 阔
论),slow to open up and connect.“You are forbidden to say‘one feels,’or‘people
think’,”Lehanne told them.“Say ‘I think,’‘Think me’.”
A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed?It couldn't seem more un-
French.But Lehanne's psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself:It's trying
to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes.Over the years,Parisian cafes have
fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours,a fast-food
boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home.Dozens of new
theme cafes appear to change the situation.Cafes focused around
psychology,history,and engineering are catching on,filling tables well into the
evening.
The city's“psychology cafes”,which offer great comfort,are among the most
popular places.Middle-aged homemakers,retirees,and the unemployed come to such
cafes to talk about love,anger,and dreams with a psychologist.And they come to
Lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel.“There's a strong need in Paris for
communication,”says Maurice Frisch,a cafe La Chope regular who works as a
religious instructor in a nearby church.“People have few real friends.And they need to
open up.”Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafes all over France.“If people
had normal lives,these cafes wouldn't exist,”she says.“If life weren't a battle,people
wouldn't need a special place just to speak.”But then,it wouldn't be France.

My color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a
little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday
instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a
discontinued model.I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements
for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully
when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the
night.Fortunately,I didn't get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never
have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static( 静
电)noise.For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial,a loud
noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually,this noise began to appear during a
show,and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it
back.Sometimes this technique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake
it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my
set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly
and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it
stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me $62,and the set is
working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.
1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?
A.He got an older model than he had expected.
B.He couldn't return it when it was broken.
C.He could have bought it at a lower price.
D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.
2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase“signed off”in Paragraph 1?
A.ended all their programs
B.provided fewer channels
机密资料 请勿外传 209 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
C.changed to commercials
D.showed all-night movies
3.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?
A.By shaking and hitting it.
B.By turning it on and off.
C.By switching channels.
D.By having it repaired.
4.How does the author sound when telling the story?
A.Curious. B.Anxious.
C.Cautious. D.Humorous.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文作者以幽默的口吻介绍了自己购买彩电后遇到的种种麻烦。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I realized this a day later...at seventy-five
dollars less than I had paid.”可知,作者之所以认为被愚弄买了电视机,是因为一天
后他在看报纸的广告时得知自己多花了75美元。故选C。
2.A 猜测词义题。根据第一段最后一句“Fortunately,I didn't get any channels
showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.”可知,画线短语的意思
为“结束所有的电视节目”。故选A。
3.D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句话可知,最后作者不得不到维修店去修理
电视机,让其重新工作。故选D。
评析 本题虽然属于细节理解题,但如果考生不注意审题,未抓住“finally”和
“get his TV set working again”这两处关键内容,则容易误选A。
4.D 推理判断题。根据文章中多处细节及最后一句中“but I keep expecting
more trouble”可判断作者以幽默的口吻叙述了自己购买彩电后遇到的种种麻烦。
故选D。

Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design
your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You
can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways
to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to
encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they're in
poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn't have
机密资料 请勿外传 210 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one
study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a
yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while
cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it's time to repaint,go blue.
Don't forget the clock—or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume
about 70 fewer calories( 卡 路 里 )per meal than those who rush through their
meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at least 30
minutes.And while you're at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing
down,turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat
about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we
choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent.And
we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.
1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about .
A.their home comforts B.their body shape
C.house buying D.healthy diets
2.A home environment in blue can help people .
A.digest food better B.reduce food intake
C.burn more calories D.regain their appetites
3.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A.Eat quickly. B.Play fast music.
C.Use smaller spoons. D.Turn down the lights.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Is Your House Making You Fat?
B.Ways of Serving Dinner
C.Effects of Self-Consciousness
D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)before going to
university.It used to be called the“year off”between school and university.The gap-
year phenomenon originated(起源)with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants
between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year,25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education
institutions have put off their entry until next year,according to statistics on university
entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.Tony
Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher
education.“Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied
with,and complete,their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more
mature and responsible,”he said.
But not everyone is happy.Owain James,the president of the National Union of
Students(NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young
people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New
students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in
debt.It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn
money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of
students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during
vacation periods,”he said.
1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?
A.It is flexible in length.
B.It is a time for relaxation.
C.It is increasingly popular.
D.It is required by universities.
2.According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year .
A.are better prepared for college studies
B.know a lot more about their future jobs
C.are more likely to leave university in debt
D.have a better chance to enter top universities

3.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?
A.He's puzzled. B.He's worried.
C.He's surprised. D.He's annoyed.
4.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?
A.Attend additional courses.
B.Make plans for the new term.
C.Earn money for their education.
D.Prepare for their graduate studies.
答案

02-2014课标全国Ⅰ,B
Passenger pigeons(旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in
unbelievable numbers.Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries
described flocks(群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.
It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point,there
were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40
percent of the total bird population in the United States,making it perhaps the
most abundant bird in the world.Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had
already become smaller,a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320
miles(about 515 kilometers)long was seen near Cincinnati.
Sadly,the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their
undoing.Where the birds were most abundant,people believed there was an
ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands.Commercial hunters
attracted them to small clearings with grain,waited until pigeons had settled to
feed,then threw large nets over them,taking hundreds at a time.The birds were
shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.
By the closing decades of the 19th century,the hardwood forests where
passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans' need for
wood,which scattered( 驱 散 )the flocks and forced the birds to go farther
north,where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their
decline.Soon the great flocks were gone,never to be seen again.
In 1897,the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of
passenger pigeons,but by then,no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for
10 years.The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a
boy in Pike County,Ohio,in 1900.For a time,a few birds survived under human
care.The last of them,known affectionately as Martha,died at the Cincinnati
Zoological Garden on September 1,1914.
1.In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons .

C.liberation D.evolution
3.What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?
A.To seek pleasure. B.To save other birds.
C.To make money. D.To protect crops.
4.What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?
A.It was ignored by the public.

答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材为环境与自然类。曾几何时在美国蔚蓝的天空
飞翔着一种鸟,这种鸟可能是当时美国数量最多的鸟类——旅鸽。但是后来这种
鸟的数量急剧减少,最终于1914年9月1日灭绝了。到底发生了什么事呢?这些
鸟去哪儿了呢?
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话可知当时这种鸟的数量占美国全部鸟类
数量的24%到40%,可能是世界上最多的鸟,由此推断它是当时美国数量最多的鸟
类,所以答案为D项。没有提及它们是世界上最大的鸟类,排除A项;也没有提及
它们主要生活在美国的南部,排除B项;更没有提及它们给环境带来了巨大的危
害,排除C项。
2.B 猜测词义题。根据后面的描述可知人们大量捕捉这种鸟,把它们卖到饭
店。由此推断出这种鸟的数量众多给它们带来了灾难。所以答案为 B 项。
escape逃跑,避开;ruin衰落的原因,祸根;liberation解放;evolution进化,发展。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句话 The birds were shipped to large
cities and sold in restaurants.可知人们主要是为了钱才大量捕杀这种鸟的,所以
答案为C项。其他三项文中均未提及。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的描述可知尽管密歇根州于 1897年通过了禁
机密资料 请勿外传 217 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
止捕杀旅鸽的法律,但是在此之前的10年里人们已经没有见过有一定规模的鸟
群飞过密歇根州了。由此推断出该法律颁布得太晚了,所以答案为B项。其他三
项文中均未提及。
03-2014课标全国Ⅰ,C
A typical lion tamer( 驯 兽 师 )in people's mind is an entertainer holding a
whip(鞭)and a chair.The whip gets all of the attention,but it's mostly for show.In
reality,it's the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in
front of the lion's face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same
time.With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do
next.When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of
attacking the man holding the chair.
How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion?How often do
you have something you want to achieve(e.g.lose weight,start a business,travel more)
—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make
progress?
This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about
which option is best,the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by
all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or
that we're focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less
progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.
It doesn't have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your
face,remember this:All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get
started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you
have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish,someone you
want to become...take immediate action.If you're clear about where you want to go,the
rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.
1.Why does the lion tamer use a chair?
A.To trick the lion. B.To show off his skills.
C.To get ready for a fight. D.To entertain the audience.
2.In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?
A.They feel puzzled over choices.
B.They hold on to the wrong things.
C.They find it hard to make changes.
D.They have to do something for show.
机密资料 请勿外传 218 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
3.What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.Tolerant. B.Doubtful.
C.Respectful. D.Supportive.
4.When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, you're advised to .
A.wait for a better chance B.break your old habits
C.make a quick decision D.ask for clear guidance
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是议论文,题材为社会文化类。每个人都会有自己的目标,在实
现目标的过程中我们会不断地面对各种选择。在这些选择面前每个人的表现不
尽相同,怎么做才是最佳选择呢?
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段第五、六句的内容可知答案选A。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的...the lion becomes confused and is unsure
about what to do next和第二段中的only to end up confused by all of the options 可
知人类和狮子的相同点就是在面对选择的时候都会感到迷惑不解,不知道该如何
去选择,所以答案为A项。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中第一句话的描述可知:那些想改善自己生活的
人们被那些专家提供的矛盾的信息弄得晕头转向,不知道该如何去选择。由此推
断出作者对这些专家持怀疑的态度,所以答案为 B 项。tolerant 容忍的,宽恕
的;doubtful怀疑的;respectful表示敬意的;supportive支持的。
4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 You just need to get started.和 take
immediate action可以推断出在面对这一情况时你要立即做出决定,所以答案为C
项。
04-2014课标全国Ⅰ,D
As more and more people speak the global languages of
English,Chinese,Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing.In
fact,half of the 6,000—7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die
out by the next century,according to the United Nations Educational,Scientific,and
Cultural Organization(UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations—
UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been
documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin,a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University,who specializes
in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas,is following in that tradition.His
机密资料 请勿外传 219 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
recently published book,A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic
Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture,grows out of his experience
living,working,and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for
Turin,who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan
reaches of India,Nepal,Bhutan,and China.But he is not content to simply record these
voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials
—including photographs,films,tape recordings,and field notes—which had remained
unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now,through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project
and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such
documents,found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars
but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were
originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available
Internet,Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with
speech communities.
1.Many scholars are making efforts to .
A.promote global languages
B.rescue disappearing languages
C.search for language communities
D.set up language research organizations
2.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Having full records of the languages.
B.Writing books on language teaching.
C.Telling stories about language users.
D.Living with the native speakers.
3.What is Turin's book based on?
A.The cultural studies in India.
B.The documents available at Yale.
C.His language research in Bhutan.
D.His personal experience in Nepal.
4.Which of the following best describes Turin's work?
A.Write,sell and donate.
B.Record,repair and reward.
机密资料 请勿外传 220 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
C.Collect,protect and reconnect.
D.Design,experiment and report.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是说明文,题材为社会文化类。世界上很多语言在慢慢消失,为
了拯救这些使用人数少的语言,很多学者开始了营救工程。本文介绍了一位正在
为之奋斗的学者,他到底为此在做着什么呢?
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中 In an effort to prevent language loss,
scholars...documenting dying languages...可知答案为B项。
2.A 猜测词义题。根据第二段最后的 documenting dying languages可以推断出
Mark Turin教授也加入到了拯救正在消失的语言的行列中,他想把这些语言全部
记录下来,所以答案为A项。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话中的“...grows out of his experience
living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.”可知Turin的这本书是以
自己在尼泊尔一个村庄的生活经历为基础写出来的,所以答案为D项。
4.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“from whom the materials were originally
collected”和“the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech
communities”可知答案为C项。

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India,my husband,Rashid,stayed in a hotel
for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some shopping.He
came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.He was
extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers,including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in a strange
city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from
a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce
my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had
found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers
and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of
unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out,although they had found
mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half-
机密资料 请勿外传 221 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to
a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also
restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send
a warm wish their way.
1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?
A.Go shopping. B.Find a house.
C.Join his family. D.Take a vacation.
2.The girl's parents got Rashid's phone number from .
A.a friend of his family B.a Sydney policeman
C.a letter in his papers D.a stranger in Sydney
3.What does the underlined word “restored”in the last paragraph mean?
A.Showed. B.Sent out.
C.Delivered. D.Gave back.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

C.Turning Trash to Treasure. D.In Search of New Friends.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为记叙文,题材是人物故事类。从印度来到悉尼的第一个星期,
作者的丈夫Rashid的手提箱被盗,里面装有重要文件,包括护照,在这个举目无亲
的陌生城市里,他会得到帮助吗?
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中while looking for a house for me and our children
可知,Rashid在抵达悉尼之后,计划为家人寻找一套房子。
2.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,女孩的父母在Rashid写了一
半的信中发现了他给朋友留下的新电话号码。
3.D 猜测词义题。倒数第二段第一句提示 Rashid是亲自登门,故在这里restore
指这家人归还(give back)他被盗的文件,而非展示、分发或递送。
4.C 主旨要义题。本文讲述了一户善良的人家在垃圾桶内发现了Rashid被盗的
重要文件并归还给他。故C项标题“变废为宝”符合文章主旨。

Since the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot “greener”toward
the environment.“We didn't know at that time that there even was an environment,let
alone that there was a problem with it,”says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day
机密资料 请勿外传 222 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social
movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially
millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The
understanding has increased many,many times,”says Gaylord Nelson,the former
governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports,emissions(排放)from cars and trucks have
dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities
producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious
problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier
place.A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling
programs;today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building
designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for
environment.Today,it's hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does
not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that,nothing else will change!”says
Bruce Anderson.
1.According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about .
A.the social movement B.recycling techniques
C.environmental problems D.the importance of Earth Day
2.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?
A.The grass-roots level.
B.The business circle.
C.Government officials.
D.University professors.
3.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?
A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B.They have settled their environmental problems.
C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
4.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last
paragraph?
A.Education. B.Planning.

答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材是节能环保类。作者阐述了自1970年以来,美国
在环境保护方面所取得的成就。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知在1970年以前,美国人对于环境问题
知之甚少。let alone意为“更不必说”。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中 and especially millions of grass-roots
Americans可知,对于环保的支持主要来自基层民众。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三、四两段的数据例证可推断出,美国人已经通过有
效的措施降低了污染。根据第三段第一句可知 A项过于绝对;根据第三段第三句
可知B项与文意相悖;根据第三段第二句可知一氧化碳排放超标的城市由 40个
减少到了9个,故C项错误。
4.A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段 ,特别是 education programs for
environment(环境教育培训)可知答案选A。

One of the latest trends( 趋 势 ) in American childcare is Chinese au
pairs.Au Pair in Stamford,Conn.,for example,has got increasing numbers of
requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004.And that's
true all across the country.
“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early
age,”Joseph Stocke,the managing director of a company,says of his 2-year-old
son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the
future.”After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman
from China,the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions,his
dad says.
Li Drake,a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an
American husband,had another reason for looking for an au pair from
China:She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am
Chinese,my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the
language and culture,” she says.
“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting
in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn,a professor in language education of
children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is
机密资料 请勿外传 224 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
unlikely to produce wonders.Complete mastery demands continued learning until
the age of 10 or 12.”
The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the
increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn
Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise
in the next few years.
1.What does the term “au pair” in the text mean?
A.A mother raising her children on her own.
B.A child learning a foreign language at home.
C.A professor in language education of children.
D.A young foreign woman taking care of children.
2.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them .
A.to live in China some day
B.to speak the language at home
C.to catch up with other children
D.to learn about the Chinese culture
3.What can we infer from the text?
A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.
B.Educated women do better in looking after children.
C.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.
D.Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文,题材是社会文化类。在美国开始盛行雇用中国换工
互惠生来照看孩子,因为越来越多的父母希望孩子可以尽早学习汉语。
1.D 猜测词义题。根据第二段可知,Joseph Stocke让一名来自中国的25岁女性
照看他的儿子,希望对儿子未来的汉语学习有所帮助。由此推断,au pair指的是
D项。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中 to keep exposed to(接触)the
language and culture可知选D。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句...by the increasing numbers of
American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.可推断出,学习汉语
在美国越来越流行。

Sitting in the garden for my friend's birthday, I felt a buzz(振动) in my
pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender's name. The email started
off:“Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process
took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you...”
and my vision blurred(模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the
Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme—had felt like
the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and
emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of
the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon,
who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done
in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally
shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential
projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn't seem as exciting
as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for
collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete
from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived
机密资料 请勿外传 229 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn't. In the end, I had a
new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising
to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the
same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had
seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the
perspective(视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the
end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited
about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I've learned that sometimes I need to
take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don't sound perfect at the
time, and make the most of them.

In recent years, researchers from diverse fields have agreed that short-
termism is now a significant problem in industrialised societies. The inability
to engage with longer-term causes and consequences leads to some of the
world's most serious problems:climate change, biodiversity collapse, and more.
The historian Francis Cole argues that the West has entered a period where
“only the present exists, a present characterised at once by the cruelty of the
instant and by the boredom of an unending now”.
It has been proved that people have a bias(偏向) towards the present,
focusing on loud attractions in the moment at the expense of the health, well-
being and financial stability of their future selves or community. In business,
this bias surfaces as short-sighted decisions. And on slow-burning problems like
climate change, it translates into the unwillingness to make small sacrifices(牺
牲) today that could make a major difference tomorrow. Instead, all that
matters is next quarter's profit, or satisfying some other near-term desires.
These biased perspectives cannot be blamed on one single cause. It is fair
to say, though, that our psychological biases play a major role. People's
hesitancy to delay satisfaction is the most obvious example, but there are
others. One of them is about how the most accessible information in the
机密资料 请勿外传 231 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
present affects decisions about the future. For instance, you might hear
someone say:“ It's cold this winter, so I needn't worry about global
warming.” Another is that loud and urgent matters are given too much
importance, making people ignore longer-term trends that arguably matter more.
This is when a pop star draws far more attention than, say, gradual
biodiversity decline.
As a psychologist once joked, if aliens( 外 星 人 ) wanted to weaken
humanity, they wouldn't send ships;they would invent climate change. Indeed,
when it comes to environmental transformations, we can develop a form of
collective “poor memory”, and each new generation can believe the state of
affairs they encounter is nothing out of the ordinary. Older people today, for
example, can remember a time with insect-covered car windscreens after long
drives. Children, on the other hand, have no idea that insect population has
dropped dramatically.
1. The author quotes Francis Cole mainly to .
A. draw a comparison B. introduce a topic
C. evaluate a statement D. highlight a problem
2. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Climate change has been forgotten.
B. Lessons of history are highly valued.
C. The human mind is bad at noting slow change.
D. Humans are unwilling to admit their shortcomings.
3. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Far-sighted thinking matters to humans.
B. Humans tend to make long-term sacrifices.
C. Current policies facilitate future decision-making.
D. Bias towards the present helps reduce near-term desires.

What is life? Like most great questions, this one is easy to ask but
difficult to answer. The reason is simple: we know of just one type of life
and it's challenging to do science with a sample size of one. The field of
artificial life—called ALife for short—is the systematic attempt to spell out
life's fundamental principles. Many of these practitioners, so-called ALifers,
think that somehow making life is the surest way to really understand what
life is.
So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record
makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field's
doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such
complaints. Asking about “the point” of ALife might be, well, missing the
point entirely, he says. “The existence of a living system is not about the use
of anything,” Alan says. “Some people ask me, ‘So what's the worth of
artificial life?’ Do you ever think, ‘ What is the worth of your
grandmother?’”
As much as many ALifers hate emphasising their research's applications,
the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs. Artificial
intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields
are enamoured by a concept called open-ended evolution(演化). This is the
机密资料 请勿外传 233 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
capacity for a system to create essentially endless complexity, to be a sort of
“ novelty generator” . The only system known to exhibit this is Earth's
biosphere. If the field of ALife manages to reproduce life's endless
“creativity” in some virtual model, those same principles could give rise to
truly inventive machines.
Compared with the developments of AI, advances in ALife are harder to
recognise. One reason is that ALife is a field in which the central concept—
life itself—is undefined. The lack of agreement among ALifers doesn't help
either. The result is a diverse line of projects that each advance along their
unique paths. For better or worse, ALife mirrors the very subject it studies. Its
muddled(混乱的) progression is a striking parallel(平行线) to the evolutionary
struggles that have shaped Earth's biosphere.
Undefined and uncontrolled, ALife drives its followers to repurpose old
ideas and generate novelty. It may be, of course, that these characteristics
aren't in any way surprising or singular. They may apply universally to all acts
of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal
suggests something: perhaps, just like life itself throughout the universe, the
rise of ALife will prove unavoidable.
1. Regarding Alan Smith's defence of ALife, the author is .
A.supportive B. puzzled
C. unconcerned D. doubtful
2. What does the word “ enamoured” underlined in Paragraph 3 most
probably mean?
A. Shocked. B. Protected.
C. Attracted. D. Challenged.
3. What can we learn from this passage?
A. ALife holds the key to human future.
B. ALife and AI share a common feature.
C. AI mirrors the developments of ALife.
D. AI speeds up the process of human evolution.
4. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Life Is Undefined. Can AI Be a Way Out?
B. Life Evolves. Can AI Help ALife Evolve, Too?

C. Life Is Undefined. Can ALife Be Defined One Day?
D. Life Evolves. Can Attempts to Create ALife Evolve, Too?
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是说明文,主要介绍了人工生命研究的现状和发展前景。
1. A推理判断题。根据题干中的 Regarding Alan Smith's defence of ALife可知
是在问作者对艾伦·史密斯维护人工生命的态度,定位到第二段。由“This track
record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism,such as declarations of the field's
doubtful scientific value.”以及“Alan Smith...is tired of such complaints.”可
知艾伦对于人工生命遭受的批评是厌烦的,第二段最后艾伦以“你的奶奶有什
么价值”反问,认可人工生命存在的必要性。由文章最后一段的“the rise of
ALife will prove unavoidable(人工生命的出现将被证实是不可避免的)”可知
作者对人工生命的发展是持支持态度的,故作者是支持艾伦对于人工生命的维
护的,故选A。
2. C推测词义题。分析画线词所在句“Artificial intelligence may be considered
ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamoured by a concept
called open-ended evolution.”可知人工智能和人工生命是表兄弟,in that后阐
述原因:这两个领域的研究者都一种叫作“开放式演化”的概念,再由下文的
“If the field of ALife manages to reproduce life's endless ‘creativity’in
some virtual model, those same principles could give rise to truly inventive
machines.”可知,如果人工生命领域能够在某些虚拟模型中重现生命的无尽
“创造力”,那么那些相同的观念可能会产生真正的创造性机器。这是积极
的。本句的those same principles指代画线词后的 a concept。浏览选项可知,
attracted(依恋,喜爱)符合语境。
3. B 推理判断题。由第三段第二句“Artificial intelligence may be considered
ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamoured by a concept
called open-ended evolution.”可知人工智能和人工生命的研究者都喜欢一种叫
作“开放式演化”的概念,故选B(人工生命和人工智能有相似的特点)。A、
C、D在文中无信息支撑。
4.D主旨要义题。第一段提出人工生命领域的研究目的,第二段说明人工生命
遭受的批评并用艾伦的观点支持人工生命的研究,第三段以人工智能和人工生
命的联系来说明人工生命应用的可能性,第四段说明人工生命难以被认可的原
因,最后为主题段,表明作者的观点:也许正如宇宙中的生命本身一样,人工生
命的出现也将被证实是不可避免的。由此可知,本文是在说明人工生命研究的
现状况与发展前景,D 项(生命在进化。创造人工生命的尝试也可以进化

PASS doesn't re⁃teach or deliver new content. It's an opportunity to deepen your
understanding of the key points from lecture materials while you are applying your
skills to solve problems.
You work interactively with your peers. As a peer group, you decide what is
covered in each session. That way, PASS directly responds to your needs and
feedback.
Registration in Term 2 will open at 9 am, 21 September 2022.
Waiting lists
If a session is full, you can register for the waiting list. We will email you if a
place becomes available or if a new session is to be held.
When you are placed on a waiting list, we will email you a number which tells
you where you are on the list. If you are close to the front of the list, you have a good
chance of gaining a place in the programme in the near future.
Deregistering
If you miss two PASS sessions in a row, you will be deregistered and your place
will be given to someone on the waiting list. Make sure you fill in the attendance
sheet at each session to record your attendance.
You'll be informed by email if you are being deregistered as a result of missing
sessions. If you believe you have received the email in error, email the PASS office at
passoffice@umbs.edu.

My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled(削
弱) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a
year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist
tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which
obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me.
One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my
high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge
an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre⁃presentation dinner
with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak
one⁃on⁃one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first
contact was where my story began.
A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference.
Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities
that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice
enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the
Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high
school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a
机密资料 请勿外传 237 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new
steps continued to grow my confidence.
I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I've realised that
my biggest obstacle(障碍) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of
my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching
their potential: I can't. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every
opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not
require our patience, but our action.
1.What was the main cause for Alice's anxiety?
A.Her inability to act her age. B.Her habit of consumption.
C.Her desire to be perfect. D.Her lack of inspiration.
2.How did Grant Brown's presentation influence Alice?
A.She decided to do something for nature.
B.She tasted the sweetness of friendship.
C.She learned about the harm of desire.
D.She built up her courage to speak up.
3.The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more .
A.intelligent B.confident
C.innovative D.critical
4.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Practice makes perfect. B.Patience is a cure of anxiety.
C.Action is worry's worst enemy. D.Everything comes to those who wait.

“What would the world be if there were no hunger?” It's a question that
Professor Crystal would ask her students. They found it hard to answer, she wrote
later, because imagining something that isn't part of real life—and learning how to
make it real—is a rare skill. It is taught to artists and engineers, but much less often to
scientists. Crystal set out to change that, and helped to create a global movement. The
result—an approach known as systems thinking—is now seen as essential in meeting
global challenges.
Systems thinking is crucial to achieving targets such as zero hunger and better
nutrition because it requires considering the way in which food is produced,
processed, delivered and consumed, and looking at how those things intersect(交叉)
with human health, the environment, economics and society. According to systems
thinking, changing the food system—or any other network—requires three things to
happen. First, researchers need to identify all the players in that system; second, they
must work out how they relate to each other; and third, they need to understand and
quantify the impact of those relationships on each other and on those outside the
system.
Take nutrition. In the latest UN report on global food security, the number of
undernourished( 营 养 不 良 ) people in the world has been rising, despite great
advances in nutrition science. Tracking of 150 biochemicals in food has been
important in revealing the relationships between calories, sugar, fat and the
occurrence of common diseases. But using machine learning and artificial
intelligence, some scientists propose that human diets consist of at least 26,000
biochemicals—and that the vast majority are not known.
A systems approach to creating change is also built on the assumption that
everyone in the system has equal power. But as some researchers find, the food
system is not an equal one. A good way to redress(修正) such power imbalance is for
more universities to do what Crystal did and teach students how to think using a
systems approach.
More researchers, policymakers and representatives from the food industry must
learn to look beyond their direct lines of responsibility and adopt a systems approach.

Crystal knew that visions alone don't produce results, but concluded that “we'll never
produce results that we can't envision.”
1.The author uses the question underlined in Paragraph 1 to .
A.illustrate an argument B.highlight an opinion
C.introduce the topic D.predict the ending
2.What can be inferred about the field of nutrition?
A.The first objective of systems thinking hasn't been achieved.
B.The relationships among players have been clarified.
C.Machine learning can solve the nutrition problem.
D.The impact of nutrition cannot be quantified.
3.As for systems thinking, which would the author agree with?
A.It may be used to justify power imbalance.
B.It can be applied to tackle challenges.
C.It helps to prove why hunger exists.
D.It goes beyond human imagination.

Quantum(量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been
sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest
challenges we face as humans. I've also had exchanges with two quantum⁃computing
experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps
机密资料 请勿外传 240 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.
For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity.
Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller
ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer,
and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort
of hype(炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises
they can't keep. “What's new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now
potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”
As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may
mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their
work's potential. If researchers can't keep their promises, excitement might give way
to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have
gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it
especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands for
something cool you shouldn't be able to understand.” And that brings me back to
Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.
After I read the book,Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also
answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co⁃founded in 2016. Taylor
shares Johnson's concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to
PyQuantum.
The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin(幅
度)” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem
that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally
discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we
are doing with others.”
Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as
Taylor claims? I don't know. I'm certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone
else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.
1.Regarding Johnson's concerns, the author feels .
A.sympathetic B.unconcerned
C.doubtful D.excited
2.What leads to Taylor's optimism about quantum computing?
A.His dominance in physics. B.The competition in the field.
C.His confidence in PyQuantum. D.The investment of tech companies.

3.What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Open. B.Cool. C.Useful. D.Resistant.
4.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor?
B.Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology?
C.Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being?
D.Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype?
答案
[语篇解读] 文章阐述了针对量子计算及与其相关的炒作的不同观点与态度。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“ If researchers can’t keep their promises,
excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns.
”和根据最后一段中“ But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.”可知,关
于约翰逊的担忧,作者是支持的,故选A。
2.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The company, he says, is closer than
any other firm ‘by a very large margin ’ to building a ‘useful’ quantum
computer, one that ‘solves an impactful problem that we would not have
been able to solve otherwise’.”可知,泰勒对量子计算的乐观来源于他对
PyQuantum的信心,故选C。
3.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“perhaps because ‘quantum’ stands for
something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand.”可知,因为“量子”代
表了一些你不应该理解的酷东西,所以它特别容易被炒作。故 prone意为“易
于……的”,故选A。
4.D 主旨大意题。本文主要论述了“量子计算真的会像它的宣传那样成功
吗?”,计算机科学家克里斯·约翰逊和物理学家菲利普·泰勒分别阐明了自己
的观点。所以短文的最佳标题为“量子计算真的会像它的宣传那样成功
吗?”,故选D。

I remember the day during our first week of class when we were informed about
our semester (学期) project of volunteering at a non-profit organization. When the
teacher introduced us to the different organizations that needed our help, my last
choice was Operation Iraqi Children (OIC). My first impression of the organization
was that it was not going to make enough of a difference with the plans I had in mind.
机密资料 请勿外传 244 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Then, an OIC representative gave us some details, which somewhat interested
me. After doing some research, I believed that we could really do something for those
kids. When I went online to the OIC website, I saw pictures of the Iraqi children.
Their faces were so powerful in sending a message of their despair (绝望) and need
that I joined this project without hesitation. We decided to collect as many school
supplies as possible, and make them into kits—one kit, one child.
The most rewarding day for our group was project day, when all the efforts we
put into collecting the items finally came together. When I saw the various supplies
we had collected, it hit me that every kit we were to build that day would eventually
be in the hands of an Iraqi child. Over the past four months, I had never imagined how
I would feel once our project was completed. While making the kits, I realized that I
had lost sight of the true meaning behind it. I had only focused on the fact that it was
another school project and one I wanted to get a good grade on. When the kits were
completed, and ready to be sent overseas, the warm feeling I had was one I would
never forget.
In the beginning, I dared myself to make a difference in the life of another
person. Now that our project is over, I realize that I have affected not only one life,
but ten. With our efforts, ten young boys and girls will now be able to further their
education.
1.How did the author feel about joining the OIC project in the beginning?
A.It would affect his/her initial plans.
B.It would involve traveling overseas.
C.It would not bring him/her a good grade.
D.It would not live up to his/her expectations.
2.What mainly helped the author change his/her attitude toward the project?
A.Images of Iraqi children. B.Research by his/her classmates.
C.A teacher’s introduction. D.A representative’s comments.
3.The author’s OIC project group would help ten Iraqi children to .
A. become OIC volunteers B.further their education
C.study in foreign countries D.influence other children
4.What can we conclude from this passage?
A.One’s potential cannot always be underrated.
B.First impression cannot always be trusted.
C.Actions speak louder than words.
D.He who hesitates is lost.

答案
语篇解读
本文为记叙文,主题语境是人与社会,主题语境内容是志愿服务。文章主要讲
述了作者参加一个帮助伊拉克儿童完成学业的志愿者活动的心路历程。
1.D 解题指导 细节理解题。根据题干中“feel about joining the OIC project in
the beginning”将目标信息定位在第一段的末尾。
解析 本题题干意为:作者一开始是怎么认为参加OIC项目这件事情的?根据文

2.A 解题指导 细节理解题。根据题干中“change his/her attitude”将目标信息
定位在第二段中。
解析 本题题干意为:什么主要使作者改变了他/她对这个项目的态度?根据第二

03-2021北京,C
Hundreds of scientists, writers and academics sounded a warning to humanity in
an open letter published last December: Policymakers and the rest of us must engage
openly with the risk of global collapse. Researchers in many areas have projected the
widespread collapse as “a credible scenario (情景) this century”.
A survey of scientists found that extreme weather events, food insecurity, and
freshwater shortages might create global collapse. Of course, if you are a non-human
species, collapse is well underway.
The call for public engagement with the unthinkable is especially germane in
this moment of still-uncontrolled pandemic and economic crises in the world’s most
technologically advanced nations. Not very long ago, it was also unthinkable that a
virus would shut down nations and that safety nets would be proven so disastrously
lacking in flexibility.
The international scholars’ warning letter doesn’t say exactly what collapse will
look like or when it might happen. Collapseology, the study of collapse, is more
concerned with identifying trends and with them the dangers of everyday civilization.
Among the signatories (签署者) of the warning was Bob Johnson, the originator of
the “ecological footprint” concept, which measures the total amount of environmental
input needed to maintain a given lifestyle. With the current footprint of humanity,“it
seems that global collapse is certain to happen in some form, possibly within a
decade, certainly within this century,” Johnson said in an email.
Only if we discuss the consequences of our biophysical limits, the December
warning letter says, can we have the hope to reduce their “speed, severity and harm”.
And yet messengers of the coming disturbance are likely to be ignored. We all want to
hope things will turn out fine. As a poet wrote,
Man is a victim of dope (麻醉品)
In the incurable form of hope.
The hundreds of scholars who signed the letter are intent (执着) on quieting hope
that ignores preparedness.“Let’s look directly into the issue of collapse,” they
say,“and deal with the terrible possibilities of what we see there to make the best of a
troubling future.”
1.What does the underlined word “germane” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Scientific.B.Credible. C.Original. D.Relevant.
2.As for the public awareness of global collapse, the author is .
A.worried B.puzzled C.surprised D.scared
机密资料 请勿外传 247 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A.The signatories may change the biophysical limits.
B.The author agrees with the message of the poem.
C.The issue of collapse is being prioritized.
D.The global collapse is well underway.
答案
语篇解读
本文为说明文,主题语境是人与自然,主题语境内容是人类生存、社会发展与
环境的关系。文章通过介绍科学家、作家和科研人员联名签署公开信一事向人
类发出了警告:政策制定者和我们其他人必须公开面对全球崩溃的风险。
1.D 解题指导 词义猜测题。根据画线词汇出现的位置将答案区域锁定在第三
段第一句中。
解析 本题题干意为:第三段中画线的单词“germane”可能是什么意思?根据画线
单词所在句子“The call for public engagement with the unthinkable is especially
germane in this moment of...”可知,即使在世界上技术最发达的国家,大流行病和经
济危机仍未得到控制,在这种情况下,呼吁公众参与到这些以前无法想象会发生的
事情中去是尤为重要的。故选择relevant “有重大关系的,相关的”。
2.A 解题指导 推理判断题。根据题干中的“the public awareness of global
collapse”可将答案区域锁定在第五段。
解析 本题题干意为:关于公众对全球崩溃的意识,作者是 。根据第五段最
后两句可知,公众对于目前发生的各种危机只是被动地希望糟糕的情况会自己慢
慢好起来,就像诗中所说的,人类像是被毒品麻醉一样,空抱希望而不做任何处理
危机的准备。可推知作者对于公众对全球崩溃的意识是担忧的。
3.B 解题指导 推理判断题。本题要从全文入手寻找具体信息来推断四个选项
的正误。
解析 本题题干意为:我们能从这篇文章中了解到什么?A选项根据关键词“the
biophysical limits”可锁定在第五段第一句,可知签署者仅仅是希望公众关注生物
物理极限带来的后果,并早做准备应对,并没有提到要改变生物物理极限,故为错
误选项。B选项根据关键词“poem”可知,公众只是默默地希望危机过去而不做
准备,而文章想通过公开信警示人们面对全球崩溃的问题,故可知作者同意诗中的
信息,故为正确选项。C选项意为:崩溃的问题正在被优先考虑。明显与文章主旨
不符,文章正是想通过公开信呼吁公众考虑崩溃问题。故为错误选项。D选项意
为:全球崩溃已经开始了。根据关键词“well underway”锁定在第二段最后一句
“if you are a non-human species, collapse is well underway”如果你是非人类的话,
那么崩溃实际上已经开始了。故为错误选项。

Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what
time was unless someone asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he
theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it. Today’s state-of-the-art
atomic (原子的) clocks have proven Einstein right. Even advanced physics can’t
decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you’re
asking.
Forget about time as an absolute. What if, instead of considering time in terms of
astronomy, we related time to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions
to set the tempo (节奏) of human life? We’re increasingly aware of the fact that we
can’t control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need to
moderate(调节) our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of
time reflected that?
Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that’s connected to
circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global
warming. We’re now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum that reflects the total
flow of several major Alaskan rivers, which are sensitive to local and global
environmental changes. We’ve programmed it to match an atomic clock if the
waterways continue to flow at their present rate. If the rivers run faster in the future
on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you’ll see the
opposite effect.
The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river
dynamics. It’s a sort of observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their
机密资料 请勿外传 249 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
own temporal frame (时间框架),and allows us to witness those changes on our
smartwatches or phones. Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will live
in harmony with the planet. Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic
time will encounter a major imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by
consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.
Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars, early agricultural
societies also connected time to natural phenomena. In pre-Classical Greece, for
instance, people “corrected” official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward
to reflect the change of season. Temporal connection to the environment was vital to
their survival. Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we’re developing
may encourage environmental awareness.
When St. Augustine admitted his inability to define time, he highlighted one of
time’s most noticeable qualities: Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context.
Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.
1.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.
B.Everyone can define time on their own terms.
C.The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.
D.Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.
2.The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to .
A.present an assumption B.evaluate an argument
C.highlight an experimentD.introduce an approach
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.
B.New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.
C.Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.
D.Modern technology may help to shape the rivers’ temporal frame.
4.What can we infer from this passage?
A.It is crucial to improve the definition of time.
B.A fixed frame will make time meaningless.
C.We should live in harmony with nature.
D.History is a mirror reflecting reality.

论时间的定义,介绍了一种特殊的记录时间的方式。
1.B 解题指导 主旨大意题。根据 “the main idea of Paragraph 1”可知答案区
域在第一段。
解析 本题题干意为:第一段的大意是什么?根据第一段最后一句“Even
advanced physics can’t decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on
the question you’re asking.(即使是高等物理学也不能果断地告诉我们时间是什么,
因为答案取决于你问的问题。)”以及上文列举的哲学家St. Augustine和爱因斯坦
对于时间的定义可推断,第一段主要讲述每个人都可以用自己的话来定义时间。
故选B项。
2.D 解题指导 推理判断题。根据“three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to

解析 本题题干意为:作者在第二段提出三个问题主要是为了 。作者在第
二段提出了三个问题:What if,instead of considering time in terms of astronomy, we
related time to ecology?(如果我们不考虑天文学方面的时间,而是将时间与生态学
联系起来呢?),What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo of

definition of time reflected that?(如果我们对时间的定义反映那个会怎么样呢?)。
这三个问题与人类生活和生态环境有关。接着在第三段提出了一种新的定义时

D项。
3.C 解题指导 推理判断题。根据题干可知要解决此问题需要通读全文,逐项
排除。
解析 本题题干意为:我们能从这篇文章中了解到什么?根据第三段的“If the
rivers run faster in the future on average,the clock will get ahead of standard time. If
they run slower,you’ll see the opposite effect.(如果河流在未来的平均流速更快,时
间就会超过标准时间。如果它们的流速较慢,你就会看到相反的效果。)”可知,如
果河流流速较慢,原子时间将超过河流时间。A、B和D三个选项均与原文不符,
故应排除。
解题技巧 在处理一些难度较大的推理判断题时,如果直接分析有难度,可通读四

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 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 A gency.
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?
机密资料 请勿外传 254 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A. High places are free of air pollution.
B. Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids.
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 wan 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. C. Creative. D.
Outgoing.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了13岁男孩Tom Hunt创造性地利用小
狗Baggy测量地面附近的污染物水平的故事。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“to join the fight against air pollution by
recording pollutant levels near the ground”可知,戴着污染监测器可以记录污染物
的水平,B项中的“record pollutant levels”为原词复现,故选B。
2. D 细节理解题。根据第二句“Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels
are higher closer to ground level...” 可知,她的监测仪显示,接近地面的空气污
染水平更高,故选D。
3.A 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Tom has since reported the shocking
findings to the government in an attempt to emphasize that babies are at higher risk of
developing asthma(哮喘).”可知,汤姆已经令人震惊的发现报告给政府,试图强
调婴儿患哮喘的风险更高。由此可推断 Tom研究的目的是对健康风险提出警
告,故选A。
4. C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段对Tom的介绍可推知Tom很有创造性,故选
C。

For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to
re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she
came across a 16th-century French manuscript(手稿)consisting of nearly 1,000
sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious(神秘)as his name; he may have
been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact
that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get
an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.

Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned
way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the
craftsmen(工匠)who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world,
what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced
them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that
a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know
how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might
be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down.
Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These
sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds
of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith
believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the
worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to
life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork,
and problem solving.
Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics
looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and
telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering ( 修 补 ) , as craftsmen
experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith
says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our
ancestors.
1. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript?
A. Confused about the technical terms.
B. Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C. Discouraged by its complex structure.
D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
2. According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________.

Certain forms of AI are indeed becoming ubiquitous. For example, algorithms
(算法) carry out huge volumes of trading on our financial markets, self⁃driving cars
are appearing on city streets, and our smartphones are translating from one language
into another. These systems are sometimes faster and more perceptive than we
humans are. But so far that is only true for the specific tasks for which the systems
have been designed. That is something that some AI developers are now eager to
change.

Some of today's AI pioneers want to move on from today's world of “weak” or
“narrow” AI, to create “strong” or “full” AI, or what is often called artificial general
intelligence (AGI). In some respects, today's powerful computing machines already
make our brains look weak. AGI could, its advocates say, work for us around the
clock, and drawing on all available data, could suggest solutions to many problems.
DM, a company focused on the development of AGI, has an ambition to “solve
intelligence”. “If we're successful,” their mission statement reads, “we believe this
will be one of the most important and widely beneficial scientific advances ever
made.”
Since the early days of AI, imagination has outpaced what is possible or even
probable. In 1965, an imaginative mathematician called Irving Good predicted the
eventual creation of an “ultra⁃intelligent machine...that can far surpass all the
intellectual (智力的) activities of any man, however clever.” Good went on to suggest
that “the first ultra⁃intelligent machine” could be “the last invention that man need
ever make.”
Fears about the appearance of bad, powerful, man⁃made intelligent machines
have been reinforced (强化) by many works of fiction—Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
and the Terminator film series, for example. But if AI does eventually prove to be our
downfall, it is unlikely to be at the hands of human⁃shaped forms like these, with
recognisably human motivations such as aggression (敌对行为). Instead, I agree with
Oxford University philosopher Nick Bostrom, who believes that the heaviest risks
from AGI do not come from a decision to turn against mankind but rather from a
dogged pursuit of set objectives at the expense of everything else.
The promise and danger of true AGI are great. But all of today's excited
discussion about these possibilities presupposes the fact that we will be able to build
these systems. And, having spoken to many of the world's foremost AI researchers, I
believe there is good reason to doubt that we will see AGI any time soon, if ever.
1.What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Enormous in quantity. B.Changeable daily.
C.Stable in quality. D.Present everywhere.
2.What could AGI do for us, according to its supporters?
A.Help to tackle problems. B.Make brains more active.
C.Benefit ambitious people. D.Set up powerful databases.
3.As for Irving Good's opinion on ultra⁃intelligent machines, the author is .
机密资料 请勿外传 258 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
A.supportive B.disapproving C.fearful D.uncertain
4.What can be inferred about AGI from the passage?
A.It may be only a dream. B.It will come into being soon.
C.It will be controlled by humans. D.It may be more dangerous than ever.

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up
her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth
millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save
kids' teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she
was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats
were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So
she desired to get round the warning, “Why can't I make a healthy candy
that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it?” With that in
mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He
recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a
healthier candy would contain.
With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online
and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly.
She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently,
she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which
can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.
Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a
supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore's product—CanCandy.
As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young
entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she's also
positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have
a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a
normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she
wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help
others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilieCandy's profits to Big
Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse
to pick up calls from numbers they don't know. By next year, half of the calls
we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of
the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and
approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately,
it's too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become
widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near
future, it's not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will
be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you're hearing is
actually real.
That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理)
and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for
anyone to use. At this year's I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice
technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it
was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with
robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do
with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal
information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your
mother's name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they're able to carry
out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example,
that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and
talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller's, tricking
you into “ confirming” your address, mother's name, and card number.
Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business
is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing
relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone
carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and
communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way
机密资料 请勿外传 263 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or
abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based
communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to
your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to
get harder from here on out.
1. How does the author feel about the solutions to the problem of robocalls?
A. Panicked.B. Confused.
C. Embarrassed.D. Disappointed.2. Taking advantage of the new technologies,
scammers can .
A. aim at victims precisely B. damage databases easily
C. start campaigns rapidly D. spread information widely
3. What does the passage imply?
A. Honesty is the best policy.

A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为说明文。随着声音处理技术的发展,电信诈骗问题越来越严
重,所以电话服务公司和消费者通力合作来确保通信安全迫在眉睫。
1. D推理判断题。由第一段中的“Unfortunately, it's too little, too late. By the
time these ‘solutions’ become widely available, scammers will have moved
onto cleverer means.”可以看出,解决方案太少、太滞后,而且当解决方案广
泛应用后,诈骗犯又有了更为聪明的诈骗方式。由此可推断,作者对这些解决
方案感到失望。
2. A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The reason that robocalls are a
headache has less to do with amount than precision.”可知,自动语音电话令
人头疼的原因与数量关系不大,更主要的是精准度。诈骗犯利用新技术能够精
确地对受害者实施诈骗,A项符合语境,precisely与precision为同根词。

3. B推理判断题。文章第二段指出,声音处理和自动化技术即将广泛应用,第
三段则指出这些技术可能让我们面临更多危险。由此可得知,文章暗示科技是
一把双刃剑,带来了便利也带来了麻烦。
4. C主旨要义题。通读文章可得知,第一段指出自动语音电话的危险性越来越
大,第二段指出上述问题出现的原因,第三段对此进行了解释,第四段提出了
解决方法,最后一段则回归主题,指出问题会愈发严重。故 C项符合文章主

By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world's oceans will be bluer and
greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物)
called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these
phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from
green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate
change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other
spots, leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化
碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury
carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global
climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend. Warming
changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since
they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT's Center for Global Change Science,
built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a
world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans
would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton
could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming
will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener.“Not
only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,”she said,“but the type
of phytoplankton is changing.”
And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain
kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said,“it will change the type of
fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
机密资料 请勿外传 265 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will
probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes.
“It'll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening
because of climate change,”Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the
ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our
planet.”
1.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
2.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Sensitive. B.Beneficial.
C.Significant. D.Unnoticeable.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B.Dutkiewicz's model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.

My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this
meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I
was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the
teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well.
He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I
started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not
about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle
against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the
finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to
myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied.
So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt
badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running
again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my
biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or
questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a
medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in
first place had.

Find Your Adventure at the Space and Aviation(航空) Center
If you're looking for a unique adventure, the Space and Aviation
Center(SAC) is the place to be. The Center offers programs designed to
challenge and inspire with hands-on tasks and lots of fun.
More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC, with many seeking
employment in engineering, aviation, education, medicine and a wide variety of
other professions. They come to camp, wanting to know what it is like to be
an astronaut or a pilot, and they leave with real-world applications for what
they're studying in the classroom.
For the trainees, the programs also offer a great way to earn merit
badges(荣誉徽章). At Space Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration
badge as they build and fire model rockets, learn about space tasks and try
simulated(模拟) flying to space with the crew from all over the world. The
Aviation Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation
badge. They learn the principles of flight and test their operating skills in the
cockpit(驾驶舱) of a variety of flight simulators. Trainees also get a good start
on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water-and land-survival
through designed tasks and their search and rescue of a “downed” pilot.
With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance
of leadership and being part of a bigger task.

Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every
year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up
to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective
way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in
the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater
wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The
team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours,
and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To
confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene
breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物)and applied it to
plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass—apparently broken
down by enzymes(酶)from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in
Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms' ability to break
down their everyday food—beeswax—also allows them to break down plastic. “Wax
is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is
there as well,”she explains. “The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this
bond.”
Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not
involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down
polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking
down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause
of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut
microbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help employ the
enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in
some kind of industrial process—not simply“millions of worms thrown on top of the
plastic.”
1.What can we learn about the worms in the study?
A.They take plastics as their everyday food.

B.find out the source of the enzyme
C.confirm the research findings
D.increase the breakdown speed
3.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .
A.help to raise worms
B.help make plastic bags
C.be used to clean the oceans
D.be produced in factories in future
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To explain a study method on worms.
B.To introduce the diet of a special worm.
C.To present a way to break down plastics.
D.To propose new means to keep eco-balance.

Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
机密资料 请勿外传 272 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream,
years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for
companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the
way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate
driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here.
Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It's hard to
predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it
takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our
cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless
cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving
vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放)and offer more convenient,
affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure
that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy—or even worsen—the traffic of today with driverless cars?
Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They
tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can
work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They
take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the
building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a
child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even
leads fewer people to take public transport—an unwelcome side effect researchers
have already found in ride-hailing(叫车)services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing
petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems
could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of
transportation infrastructure(基础设施)and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions
and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless
cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of
self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题).
But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people
become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance
机密资料 请勿外传 273 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
of driverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled
transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents
a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move
more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to
plan for it.
1.According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can .
A.help deal with transportation-related problems
B.provide better services to customers
C.cause damage to our environment
D.make some people lose jobs
2.As for driverless cars, what is the author's major concern?
A.Safety. B.Side effects.
C.Affordability. D.Management.
3.What does the underlined word“fielded”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Employed. B.Replaced.
C.Shared. D.Reduced.
4.What is the author's attitude to the future of self-driving cars?
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Disapproving. D.Sympathetic.
答案
[语篇解读] 文章围绕无人驾驶汽车的管理问题展开讨论。
1.A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句可知注意力应该放在无人驾驶汽车如
何帮助解决一些与交通有关的问题上,故选择A项。
2.D 主旨要义题。根据文章第一段最后一句“...depending on how the
transformation is regulated.”和最后一段第一句可知作者主要关注无人驾驶汽车的
管理问题,故选择D项。
3.A 猜测词义题。画线单词所在句子和后面一句话形成了转折关系,后面一句
提到随着价格的下降和更多的人对这种技术的适应,无人驾驶汽车作为私家车的
拥有量会提高,画线单词所在句子与后一句意思相反,表示的是“考虑到费用、责
任与维护问题,首批无人驾驶车辆的个人拥有情况不会很乐观,这些车几乎都会被
叫车服务所利用”,因此可以判断出画线单词意为“使用,利用”,与 employed的
意思一致。故选择A项。
4.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后三句可知作者虽然对无人驾驶车辆提
出了自己的看法,但是对它的前景还是抱有乐观的态度的,故选择B项。

It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the
Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during
practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发
抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn't know each
other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground. “Paris's eyes rolled back,” Taylor says. “She
started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”
It certainly was. Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate
medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then
the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person's chest
so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen,
the brain is damaged quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she
hesitated. She didn't think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came
forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. “It was scary. I knew it was the
difference between life and death,”says Taylor.
Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two
more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device(器
械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris's heartbeat
returned.
“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don't survive this. My team
saved my life.”
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for
survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She
wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I
can act under pressure in a scary situation.”

Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even
more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of
the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing
anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this
year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of
last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous
trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole,
everyone is protected. This is called“herd immunity”, which protects the people who
get hurt easily, including those who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies
too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn't work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some
refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in
even bigger danger.
That's exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country
from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to
Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but
very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参
加)of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten.
Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just by signing
a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for
opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons.
But personal opinions?Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits

vaccines provide, but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.
1.The first two paragraphs suggest that .
A.a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
B.the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C.anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D.information about measles spreads quickly
2.Herd immunity works well when .
A.exemptions are allowed
B.several vaccines are used together
C.the whole neighborhood is involved in
D.new regulations are added to the state laws
3.What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?
A.The overuse of vaccine.
B.The lack of medical care.
C.The features of measles itself.
D.The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
4.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce the idea of exemption.
B.To discuss methods to cure measles.
C.To stress the importance of vaccination.
D.To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.

Hollywood's theory that machines with evil(邪恶的)minds will drive armies of
killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial
intelligence(AI)may become extremely good at achieving something other than what
we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded
the field of cybernetics(控制论), put it this way:“If we use, to achieve our purposes, a
mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we
had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we
really desire.”
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually
associate with living things:a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this
quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans;it is a logical
consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if
it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it
will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even
killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could
face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines
whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the
minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines
inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing
them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work:we have
yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super
intelligent machines.
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be
possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of
super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it
has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist
as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the
goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent
machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super
intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11,1933, famous physicist Ernest
Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the
transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September

Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of
150+at 17, I'm anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注
意力缺陷多动障碍).Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than
an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high
school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I
completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college
courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to
college after high school, but couldn't.So, I was killing my time at home until June
2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.
Currently, I'm learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper,
covered in self-written notes from your videos.This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the
public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the
job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove
that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as
good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You've given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I
feel good about myself because I'm doing something, not because someone told me I
was doing good. I feel whole.
This is why you're saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis

Surviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)
Natalie Doan,14,has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York.Living just
a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her
house.“It's the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,”she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy
attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie's

family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city's bridges closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day,they found their neighborhood in
ruins. Many of Natalie's friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All
around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie's school was so
damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover
inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys.
Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed
dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in
powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can't control what happens to me,”Natalie says, “but I
can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie's choice was to help.
She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted
to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball
card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick's collection was
replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids:Christopher, who
received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked
with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts
made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and
honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in
the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can't imagine
living anywhere but Rockaway,”Natalie declares.“My neighborhood will be back,
even stronger than before.”
1.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found .
A.some friends had lost their lives
B.her neighborhood was destroyed
C.her school had moved to Brooklyn
D.the elderly were free from suffering
2.According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?

California Condor's Shocking Recovery
California condors are North America's largest birds,
with wing-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical
lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying
out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are
helping to rescue these big birds.
In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred(繁
殖). Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are
机密资料 请勿外传 285 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in
Mexico.
Electrical lines have been killing them off.“As they go in to rest for the night,
they just don't see the power lines,”says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their
wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch
two lines at once.
So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large
training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful
but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced,66% of set-free birds
died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.
Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead
bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This
affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to
kidney(肾) failure and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los
Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes
lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual
death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.
Rideout's team thinks that the California condors' average survival time in the
wild is now just under eight years.“Although these measures are not effective forever,
they are vital for now,” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort
we put into recovering them.”
1.California condors attract researchers' interest because they .
A.are active at night B.had to be bred in the wild
C.are found only in California D.almost died out in the 1980s
2.Researchers have found electrical lines are .

Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in
autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are
becoming an extended period of adolescence,during which many of today's students
are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental
control;guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from
within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence
on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have increased significantly.
Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of
college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult
responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same
environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility,college needs to be a time
of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of
thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally. While we
should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express
机密资料 请勿外传 287 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered
by strict debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college
community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense
of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and
thinking pattern,they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger
and complex community.
Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior
runs up against another characteristic of young adults:the response to being controlled
by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined( 规 定 ) and
controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to
minimize may actually be encouraged.
It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when
there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times
of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents'
desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is
the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience
intellectual growth.
Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior
should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and
self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.
1.What's the author's attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?
A.Sympathetic. B.Disapproving.
C.Supportive. D.Neutral.
2.The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means .
A.change B.choice

3.According to the author, what role should college play?
A.To develop a shared identity among students.
B.To define and regulate students' social behavior.
C.To provide a safe world without tension for students.
D.To foster students' intellectual and personal development.

The Boy Made It!
One Sunday,Nicholas,a teenager,went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine.In
the early afternoon,when he was planning to go home,a fierce snowstorm swept into
the area.Unable to see far,he accidentally turned off the path.Before he knew
it,Nicholas was lost,all alone! He didn't have food,water,a phone,or other supplies.He
was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was.He tried not to panic.He thought about all of
the survival shows he had watched on TV.It was time to put the tips he had learned to
use.
He decided to stop skiing.There was a better chance of someone finding him if
he stayed put.The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and
snow.If he didn't,his body temperature would get very low,which could quickly kill
him.
机密资料 请勿外传 289 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Using his skis,Nicholas built a snow cave.He gathered a huge mass of snow and
dug out a hole in the middle.Then he piled branches on top of himself,like a blanket,to
stay as warm as he could.
By that evening,Nicholas was really hungry.He ate snow and drank water from a
nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water.Not knowing how much
longer he could last,Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled(蜷缩)in his
cave and slept.
The next day,Nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldn't find anyone.He
followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter,he could die
that night.On Tuesday,Nicholas went out again to find help.He had walked for about a
mile when a volunteer searcher found him.After two days stuck in the snow,Nicholas
was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV.He had
often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs.Wild.That's where he learned the tips
that saved his life.In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild,Grylls is abandoned in
a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds,he was super impressed that
Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to
work to stay alive.

Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light
passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of
the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach.
Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch.
Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their
life alone. They never touch anything unless they're eating it,or unless
something is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through?
It's trickier than you might think.
The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light
typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射)
light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it
dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different
from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.
But a transparent object doesn't absorb or scatter light, at least not very
much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a
transparent object doesn't look very different from the surrounding air or water.
You don't see it—you see the things behind it.
To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing
or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain
pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal
doesn't have pigments, so its tissues won't absorb light. According to Johnsen,
avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from
scattering.
Animals are built of many different materials—skin, fat, and more—and
light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a
material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use
different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or
extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-
through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like( 果 冻 状
机密资料 请勿外传 293 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
的)material and spread themselves over it.
Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to
make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much
as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they're doing it is still
unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an
active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.
1.According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals .
A.stay in groups
B.can be easily damaged
C.appear only in deep ocean
D.are beautiful creatures
2.The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means .
A.silently B.gradually C.regularly D.completely
3.One way for an animal to become transparent is to .
A.change the direction of light travel
B.gather materials to scatter light
C.avoid the absorption of light
D.grow bigger to stop light
4.The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals .
A.move more slowly in deep water
B.stay see-through even after death
C.produce more tissues for their survival
D.take effective action to reduce light spreading

Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life,mostly for
the better.However,social changes that are brought about by new technology are often
mistaken for a change in attitudes.
机密资料 请勿外传 294 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children
who are attending college.Surveys(调查)on this topic suggest that parents today
continue to be“very”or“somewhat”overly-protective even after their children move
into college dormitories.The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental
involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago.This is usually interpreted as
a sign that today's parents are trying to manage their children's lives past the point
where this behavior is appropriate.
However,greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents
are failing to let go of their“adult”children.
In the context(背景)of this discussion,it seems valuable to first find out the cause
of change in the case of parents' involvement with their grown children.If parents of
earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children
frequently,would this have been possible?Probably not.On the other hand,does the
possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn't
present a generation ago?Many studies show that older parents—today's grandparents
—would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had
not been a barrier.
Furthermore,studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of
communication between parents and their college children.The fact that college
students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new;nor are requests for
more money to be sent from home.This phenomenon is neither good nor bad;it is a
fact of college life,today and in the past.
Thanks to the advanced technology,we live in an age of bettered
communication.This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to
play in the lives of their children who have left for college.But it is useful to bear in
mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire
by parents to keep their children under their wings.
1.The surveys inform us of .
A.the development of technology
B.the changes of adult children's behavior
C.the parents' over-protection of their college children
D.the means and expenses of students' communication
2.The writer believes that .
A.parents today are more protective than those in the past

The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures
of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and
small,moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right
behind us!”An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy
but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned
back—the sign(迹象)of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April
day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
机密资料 请勿外传 298 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
I held my camera tripod(三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the bear
rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod
stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I
would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so,this was a fight I had to win:I was all that stood between the bear and
my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect
my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could
not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six
times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was
actually wrestling( 扭 打 )with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had
begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back towards the forest,before returning for
another attack—the first time I felt panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved
off,destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could
hardly have been better.I'm proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic
could have led to a very different outcome.

Choosing the Right Resolution(决定)
Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013
with,a goal of losing weight.However,setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.
To reach our goal of losing weight—the output,we need to control what we eat—
the input(输入).That is,we tend to care about the output but not to control the
input.This is a bad way to construct goals.The alternative is to focus your resolution
on the input.Instead of resolving to lose weight,try an actionable resolution:“I'll stop
having dessert for lunch,”or “I'll walk every day for 20 minutes.”Creating a goal that
focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on
the outcome.
Recently a new science behind incentives(激励),including in education,has been
discussed.For example,researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in
motivating children to do better in school.In some cases,he gave students incentives
based on input,like reading certain books,while in others,the incentives were based on
output,like results on exams.His main finding was that incentives increased
achievement when based on input but had no effect when based on output.Fryer's
conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective because students
do not know how to do better on an exam,aside from general rules like “study
harder”.Reading certain books,on the other hand,is a well-set task over which they
机密资料 请勿外传 300 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
have much more control.
As long as you have direct control over your goal,you have a much higher
chance of success.And it's easier to start again if you fail,because you know exactly
what you need to do.
If you want to cut down on your spending,a good goal would be making morning
coffee at home instead of going to a café,for example.This is a well-specified action-
based goal for which you can measure your success easily.Spending less money isn't a
goal because it's too general.Similarly,if you want to spend more time with your
family,don't stop with this general wish.Think about an actionable habit that you
could adopt and stick to,like a family movie night every Wednesday.
In the long run,these new goals could become a habit.
1.The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because .
A.it is hard to achieve for most Americans
B.it is focused too much on the result
C.it is dependent on too many things
D.it is based on actionable decisions
2.In Roland Fryer's research, some students did better than the others because .
A.they obeyed all the general rules
B.they paid more attention to exams
C.they were motivated by their classmates
D.they were rewarded for reading some books
3.According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?
A.“I'll give up dessert.”
B.“I'll study harder.”
C.“I'll cut down my expenses.”
D.“I'll spend more time with my family.”
4.The writer strongly believes that we should .
A.develop good habits and focus on the outcome
B.be optimistic about final goals and stick to them
C.pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits
D.set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为议论文,题材为设定目标。作者认为“减肥”不是一个很有
效的目标,并具体解释了设立什么样的目标更加有效。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“To reach our goal of losing weight—
机密资料 请勿外传 301 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
the output,we need to control what we eat—the input.That is,we tend to care about the
output but not to control the input.”可知将减肥设定为目标过于注重输出,输出
(output)相当于结果(result),故选择B项。
2.D 细节理解题。通读第三段的相关内容特别是最后一句可知本题应选择 D
项。
3.A 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“Creating a goal that focuses on a
well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.”
可知设立目标应具体化,不能过于关注结果。四个选项中A项“我要放弃甜食”
很具体,是一个很好的目标;B项“我要更努力地学习”,C项“我要削减开支”和
D项“我要花更多的时间陪家人”都很笼统,不容易实施,故选择A项。
4.C 推理判断题。作者在文章的倒数第二段举例说明了设立目标应挑选具体的
行动,最后一段又再次强调“In the long run,these new goals could become a habit.”
长远来看,这些新的目标(具体的行动)能成为一种习惯。因此本题选择C项。
[温馨提示] 1.To reach our goal of losing weight—the output,we need to control
what we eat—the input(输入).That is,we tend to care about the output but not to
control the input.为了实现我们的减肥目标——输出,我们必须控制我们的饮食
——输入。也就是说我们往往只关注了输出而没有控制输入。
2.Instead of resolving to lose weight,try an actionable resolution...尝试可操作的
解决方案而不是做减肥的决定……
3.Fryer's conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective
because students do not know how to do better on an exam,aside from general rules
like “study harder”.弗赖尔的结论是:对输入的激励可能会更有效,因为学生们除了
知道一些像“努力学习”这样的基本规则外,对于如何更好地应考一无所知。

Store Scent(香味)
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop?The
products displayed(展示)at the entrance?Or the soft background music?
But have you ever noticed the smell?Unless it is bad,the answer is likely
to be no.But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with
sights and sounds,it is certainly there.And it is proving to be an increasingly
powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats
through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance,via scent machines.A smell
机密资料 请勿外传 302 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports
goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its
stores,customers' intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris,scent is just as
important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods
on sale.That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what
it used to be.
Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people
with sales assistants' disproving attitude and don't-touch-what-you-can't-afford
displays.Now the rise of electronic commerce(e-commerce)has opened up
famous brands to a wider audience.But while e-shops can use sights and
sounds,only bricks-and-mortar stores(实体店)can offer a full experience from
the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave.Another
brand store seeks to be much more than a shop,but rather a destination.And
scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now,a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the
soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department,and coconut(椰
子)scent in the swimsuit section.A department store has even opened a new
lab,inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell
books,pots and drawers,in search of their perfect scent.
1.According to the passage,what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success
of some brand stores?
A.Friendly assistants.
B.Unique scents.
C.Soft background music.
D.Attractive window display.
2.E-shops are mentioned in the passage to .
A.show the advantages of bricks-and-mortar stores
B.urge shop assistants to change their attitude
C.push stores to use sights and sounds
D.introduce the rise of e-commerce
3.The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means .
A.a platform that exhibits goods
B.a spot where travelers like to stay
机密资料 请勿外传 303 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
C.a place where customers love to go
D.a target that a store expects to meet
4.The main purpose of the passage is to .
A.compare and evaluate
B.examine and assess
C.argue and discuss
D.inform and explain

1.B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句和第四句“But while a shop's scent
may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds,it is certainly there.
And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to

Pasta and pizza were on everyone's lunch menu in my native land of Italy.
Everyone who had such a lunch was fair⁃skinned and spoke Italian. A few years later,
as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I
realized things were no longer that simple. My classmates ranged from those kids
with pale skin and large blue eyes to those with rich brown skin and dark hair. The
机密资料 请勿外传 304 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
food choices were almost as diverse as the students. In front of me was an array of
foods I couldn't even name in my native language. Fearing that I would pick out
something awful, I desperately tried to ask the boy ahead of me for a
recommendation. Unfortunately, between us stood the barrier of language.
Although my kindergarten experience feels like a century ago, the lessons I
learned will stick in my mind forever. For the past three summers, I have worked in a
government agency in New York. New immigrants much like the little girl in the
lunch line flooded our office seeking help. I often had to be an interpreter for the
Italian⁃speaking ones. As I served the role of vital communication link, I was
reminded of my desperate struggle to converse before I learned English. I watched
with great sympathy as elderly Italians tried to hold a conversation in Italian with
people who did not speak the language. It suddenly became very clear to me how
lucky I was to be fluent in two languages.
In New York, a multicultural city, students like me are blessed with a chance to
work with a diverse population. In my English to Italian translations, I've learned
about social programs that I didn't know existed. This work expanded my mind in
ways that are impossible inside the four walls of a classroom. Walking through the
streets of Brooklyn today, I am no longer confused by this city's sounds and smells.
Instead, I enjoy its diversity.
1.What did the author realize after entering school in Brooklyn?
A.Time passed quickly. B.English was hard to learn.
C.The food was terrible. D.People were very different.
2.Who does “the little girl” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.An Italian teacher. B.A government official.
C.The author herself. D.The author's classmate.
3.How did the summer job benefit the author?
A.It strengthened her love for school.
B.It helped sharpen her sense of direction.
C.It opened her eyes to the real world.
D.It made her childhood dream come true.
答案
[语篇解读] 作者通过三个夏天的工作,开阔了视野,接受了真实世界的多样性。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A few years later...My classmates ranged
from...as diverse as the students.”可知,在进入布鲁克林的一所学校后,作者意识到
那里的学生是多样化的。
机密资料 请勿外传 305 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
2.C 推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“A few years later...I realized things were
no longer that simple.” 和 第 二 段 前 三 句 “ Although my kindergarten
experience...seeking help.”可推知,当年的小女孩长大了,在纽约的一家政府机构工
作,工作让她想到当年自己在幼儿园站在午餐队伍中的情景。所以这里的“the
little girl”指作者自己。
3.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“I've learned about social programs that I
didn't know existed. This work expanded my mind...”可知,暑假工作让作者了解到
了以前不知道的东西,拓展了思维,开阔了眼界。

All around the world, there are small changes taking place. At the side of roads,
behind school playgrounds and on all kinds of unloved pieces of land across towns
and cities, tiny forests barely the size of tennis courts are appearing, making a great
place for both wildlife and local people who may not normally have easy access to
nature. This is the Tiny Forest movement, which aims to prove that the best things in
life really do come in small packages.
Tiny forests were first pioneered as a concept in the 1970s by Dr Miyawaki, a
Japanese botanist. As he went on to share his concept with others, the idea soon took
off in India and other countries before eventually reaching Europe, where it became
popular in places like France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
So how does it work? Louise Hartley, who is leading the Tiny Forest project in
the UK, explains that the process begins by identifying areas in which a tiny forest
could have the biggest influence. “We focus on urban areas where access to nature is
often not that easy,” says Hartley. “We see it as a chance to try to break the growing
disconnect between people and nature.”
In a Tiny Forest, there must be a minimum of 600 trees, and the trees are planted
much closer together and without chemicals or fertilisers(肥料). There are usually
around 30 different kinds of all⁃native tree species(物种). This variety, coupled with
the fact that tiny forests grow up to ten times faster than standard forests, means they
attract a rich abundance of wildlife. It's also thought that these places could help
reduce the risk of flooding, remove carbon from the atmosphere and fight climate
change, as well as improving the mental health of those living locally.
1.What do we know about the Tiny Forest movement?
A.It has achieved notable success. B.It is led by a number of schools.
机密资料 请勿外传 306 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
C.It began in Europe in the 1970s. D.It will spread to the countryside.
2.What is the purpose of the project led by Hartley in the UK?
A.To promote eco⁃tourism. B.To improve forestry research.
C.To popularise gardening. D.To get people close to nature.
3.What is special about the trees in a Tiny Forest?
A.They are small in size. B.They are thickly planted.
C.They are foreign species. D.They are heavily fertilised.
答案
[语篇解读] 微森林运动的兴起和流行带来很多好处。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the idea soon took off in India and other
countries before eventually reaching Europe, where it became popular in places like
France, Belgium and the Netherlands”可知,微森林运动的理念很快在印度和其他国
家流行起来,最终传到了欧洲,在法国、比利时和荷兰等地流行起来。由此可知微
森林运动取得了显著的成功。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘We focus on urban areas where access to
nature is often not that easy,’ says Hartley. ‘We see it as a chance to try to break the
growing disconnect between people and nature.’”可知,该项目关注不那么容易接触
到自然的地方,努力解决人与自然之间日益疏远的问题。由此可知,该项目旨在帮
助人们接近大自然。
3.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In a Tiny Forest, there must be a
minimum of 600 trees, and the trees are planted much closer together and without
chemicals or fertilisers. There are usually around 30 different kinds of all⁃native tree
species.”可知,微森林的树种植得很密集。

Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but
research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.
In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to
translate sentences into a new made⁃up language. Subjects who practiced the language
moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not
at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of
viewing problems across fields—the arts, sciences, and politics. High
conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where
it doesn't pay to be a perfectionist.

examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is
probably seen as a go⁃getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed
conference⁃room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures
that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating
alone in front of a computer,” says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the
University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood (情绪)
and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any
post⁃lunch effort.
Markman also promotes off⁃task time. “Part of being a good thinker is
experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the
moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of
research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and
creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make
themselves more effective at work.”
1.What does Ellen Langer's study show?
A.It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist. B.Translation makes people
knowledgeable.
C.Simpler jobs require greater caution. D.Moderate effort produces the best
result.
2.The underlined word “go⁃getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone who .
A.is good at handling pressure B.works hard to become successful
C.has a natural talent for his job D.gets on well with his co⁃workers
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.A good thinker is able to inspire other people.
B.Experience unrelated to your job is useless.
C.A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind.
D.Focusing on what you do raises productivity.
4.What does the text seem to advocate?
A.Middle⁃of⁃the⁃road work habits. B.Balance between work and family.
C.Long⁃standing cultural traditions. D.Harmony in the work environment.
答案
[语篇解读] 研究发现适度的努力能在工作中取得最佳效果。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Subjects...who practiced extensively or not
at all.”可知,事先适度练习语言的受试者比那些大量练习或根本不练习的受试者
犯的错误要少,也就是适度的努力效果最佳。
机密资料 请勿外传 308 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
2.B 推测词义题。根据画线词后面的“while...from the corner office”可知,在会
议室轻松用餐时聊天的同事会遭受白眼,这里的while表示转折意义,说明前文情
况与之相反,也就是“在办公桌前吃午餐的年轻银行家可能会被视为一个积极进
取的人”。由此推知,go⁃getter 表示“努力获得成功的人”。
3.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“there is a lot of research showing that a
positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity”可知,积极的情绪
会带来更高水平的生产力和创造力。由此推知,愉快的心情有助于形成创造性思
维。
4.A 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知,本文讲的是“适度的努力能在工作中取
得最佳效果”,由此推知,文章倡导的是适中的工作习惯。

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 Californian coast, away from her parents,
where she 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.
答案

前的公司破产了。
2.D 猜测词义题。根据第二段中的“It has taken her to every state in the US

“ When I am 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.”可知,Merebeth
在她的新工作中一直都是靠自己。

The United States rose to global power on the strength of its technology,
and the lifeblood of that technology has long been electricity. By providing
long distance communication and energy, electricity created the modern 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
机密资料 请勿外传 310 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Makers:Steam, Electricity, and the Men Who Invented Modern America. Klein,
a noted historian of technology, spins a narrative(叙述) 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
possibilities they put it to more uses than anyone else.”
Meanwhile, over the course of the 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 bulb(白炽灯泡) 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,
Westinghouses firm developed a system using alternating current(交流电),
which soon became the major form of power delivery.
To frame his story, Klein creates the character of Ned, a fictional witness
to the progress brought about by the steam and electric revolutions in America
during one mans lifetime. It’s a technique that helps turn a long narrative
into an interesting one.
1.What is Klein’s understanding of the age of electricity?
A.It is closely linked to the steam age. B.It began earlier than people
thought.
C.It is a little studied period of history. D.It will come to an end
sooner or later.
2.What can be inferred about Ned?
A.He was born in New York City.
B.He wrote many interesting stories.
C.He created an electricity company.
D.He lived mainly in the 19th century.
3.What is the text?
A.A biography. B.A book review. C.A short story. D.A science report.

The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there’s a new
bonus to add to the ever-growing list. New research found that middle-aged
women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to
develop dementia(失智症)in later life—and if they did, it came on a decade
later than less sporty women.
Lead researcher Dr Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in
Sweden, said: “ These findings are exciting because it’s possible that
improving people’s cardiovascular(心血管的)fitness in middle age could delay
or even prevent them from developing dementia.”
For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise
test until they were tired out to measure their peak(最大值的)cardiovascular
capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts.
A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level with a
capacity of 120 watts or higher, while 92 women were in the medium fitness
category. A total of 59 were of low fitness level, with a peak workload of 80
watts or less, or having their tests stopped because of health problems.

These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following
four decades. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five
percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent
of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low
fitness.
“ However, this study does not show cause and effect between
cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association,” said
Horder. “More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a
positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a
lifetime a high fitness level is most important.” She also admitted that a
relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were from
Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups.
1.What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.Positive effects of doing exercise.
B.Exercises suitable for the middle-aged.
C.Experimental studies on dementia.
D.Advantages of sporty women over men.
2.Why did the researchers ask the women to do bicycle exercise?
A.To predict their maximum heart rate.

3.What do we know about Dr Horder’s study?
A.It aimed to find a cure for dementia.

Leslie Nielsen's childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining
star in his life—his uncle, who was a well⁃known actor. The admiration and 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
机密资料 请勿外传 314 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable
life.
1.Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?
A.He enjoyed watching movies. B.He was eager to earn money.
C.He wanted to be like his uncle. D.He felt he was good at acting.
2.What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career?
A.He directed some high quality movies. B.He avoided taking on new
challenges.
C.He focused on playing dramatic roles. D.He became a successful comedy
actor.
3.What does Nielsen's career story tell us?
A.Art is long, life is short. B.He who laughs last laughs longest.
C.It's never too late to learn. D.Where there's a will there's a way.

We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes'
walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my
children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for
hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours
a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have
begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film⁃maker
David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to
机密资料 请勿外传 315 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three⁃year⁃old son's
ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and,
being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director for Nature”. He
documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to
young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of
the Wild Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children
out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says.
“There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if
children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for
life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now:“We just send
them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our
children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
1.What is the problem with the author's children?
A.They often annoy the neighbours. B.They are tired of doing their homework.
C.They have no friends to play with. D.They stay in front of screens for too
long.
2.How did David Bond advocate his idea?
A.By making a documentary film. B.By organizing outdoor activities.
C.By advertising in London media. D.By creating a network of friends.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in paragraph 2?
A.records B.predicts C.delays D.confirms
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Let Children Have Fun B.Young Children Need More Free Time
C.Market Nature to Children D.David Bond:A Role Model for Children

定语从句正是在描述此部电影记录的内容,因此charts相当于records。
4.C 主旨要义题。这篇文章开始讲述了孩子看屏幕时间过长,以此引出David
Bond拍摄影片来向孩子们“推销”大自然,引导他们多接触自然,不再迷恋电子
设备的情况。文章内有高频词“nature”“outdoors”“children”“screen”等,所以C项
合适。

If you ever get the impression that your dog can "tell" whether you look
content or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to
distinguish between happy and angry human faces, according to a new study.
Researchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images(图
像)of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the
training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of
the person’ s face. The researchers then tested the dogs’ ability to
distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half
of the person’ s face or images totally different from the ones used in
training. The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or
happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more often than one
would expect by random chance.
The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they
learned about human faces during training to new faces in the testing stage.
"We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based
on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth," said study author Corsin Muller.
"Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling
mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an
angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.”
"With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least
some dogs can distinguish human facial expressions," Muller told Live Science.
At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the
ability to recognize different facial expressions in humans. "To us, the most
likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living with humans,
which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial expressions," and this
exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between

them, Muller said.
1. The new study focused on whether dogs can_________.
A. distinguish shapes B. make sense of human faces
C. feel happy or angry D. communicate with each
other
2. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 2?
A. Researchers tested the dogs in random order.
B. Diverse methods were adopted during training.
C. Pictures used in the two stages were different
D. The dogs were photographed before the test.
3. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. A suggestion for future studies. B. A possible reason for the
study findings.
C. A major limitation of the study D. An explanation of the
research method.
答案

More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural(农村) India. One day, he
played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found
himself alone, the 4⁃year⁃old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front
机密资料 请勿外传 318 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
of him—so he got on.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city.
He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage(孤儿院). There, he was adopted by
an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn't help but
wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he
didn't know his town's name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to
be impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his
hometown in the program's satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something
familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town's central business district
from a bird's⁃eye view. He thought, “On the right⁃hand side you should see the
three⁃platform train station”—and there it was.“And on the left⁃hand side you should
see a big fountain”—and there it was. Everything just started to match.
When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady
standing in the entrance. “There's something about me,” he thought—and it took him
a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, “My mother looked so much shorter than I
remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my
feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear
fusion(核聚变). I just didn't know what to say, because I never thought seeing my
mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”
1.Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago?
A.He got on a train by mistake. B.He got lost while playing in the street.
C.He was taken away by a foreigner. D.He was adopted by an Australian
family.
2.How did Brierley find his hometown?
A.By analyzing old pictures. B.By travelling all around India.
C.By studying digital maps. D.By spreading his story via his book.
3.What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview?
A.His love for his mother. B.His reunion with his mother.
C.His long way back home. D.His memory of his hometown.

At the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth
Watkins made predictions about life today. His predictions about slowing
population growth, mobile phones and increasing height were close to the
mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that everybody would walk 10
miles a day.
Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2, 000 steps short of the
physical activity they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40
per cent of children walked to school, while in 2010, it was as low as 15 per
cent.
The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed
for time, many with both parents working to pay for their house, often
working hours not of their choosing, living in car-dependent neighborhoods
with limited public transport.
The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-
being, as well as lost opportunities(机会)for children to get to know their
local surroundings. And for parents there are lost opportunities to walk and
talk with their young scholar about their day.
Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day, only to
meet with a “good”, quickly followed by "I'm hungry". This is also my
experience as a mother. But somewhere over the daily walk more about my
son's day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits.
This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.

Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes(路线), with days
of regular, parent-accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a
week is better than nothing. It can be tough to begin and takes a little
planning-running shoes by the front door, lunches made the night before,
umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones-but it's certainly worth trying.
1. Why does the author mention Watkins' predictions in the first paragraph?
A. To make comparisons. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To support her argument. D. To provide examples.
2. What has caused the decrease in Australian children's physical activity?
A. Plain laziness. B. Health problems.
C. Lack of time. D. Security concerns.
3. Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile?
A. She can get relaxed after work. B. She can keep physically fit.
C. She can help with her son's study. D. She can know her son
better.

Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild
chimpanzees (黑猩猩)use to communicate.They say wild chimps communicate 19
机密资料 请勿外传 321 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures.The scientists
discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining
more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of
intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom.Only humans and
chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a
message to another group member.
“That's what's so amazing about chimp gestures,” she said.“They're the only
thing that looks like human language in that respect.”
Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand
complex information from another animal's call, the animals do not appear to use their
voices intentionally to communicate messages.This was a significant difference
between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.
Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they
wish to communicate.In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby,
signalling:“Climb on me”. The youngster immediately jumps on to its mother's back
and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another
species (物种) out there that is meaningful in its communication, so that's not unique
to humans,” said Dr Hobaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester,
said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution
of human language.But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing”.
“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have
little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their
gestures and actions,” she said.“Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what
other animals convey with non-verbal communication.So, it seems the gulf
remains.”
1.What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?
A.Memorizing specific words.
B.Understanding complex information.
C.Using voices to communicate.
D.Communicating messages on purpose.
2.What did Dr Shultz think of the study?
A.It was well designed but poorly conducted.

I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing
机密资料 请勿外传 323 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I
have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the
power and purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家)hopes to get
across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single
impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central
theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure
of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the
playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy,
satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面
性)of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television
play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell,
Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have
all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information
about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with
you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to
open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.
1.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A.He has written dozens of plays.
B.He has a deep love for the theater.
C.He is a professional stage actor.
D.He likes reading short plays to others.
2.What does the author avoid doing in his work?
A.Stating the plays' central ideas.
B.Selecting works by famous playwrights.
C.Including various types of plays.
D.Offering information on the playwrights.
3.What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?
A.Control their feelings.
B.Apply their acting skills.
C.Use their imagination.
D.Keep their audience in mind.
4.What is this text?

The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue , Washington ,
generally don't flash the same length of green twice in a row,especially at rush hour.
At9:30am,the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:
33am,a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:
37am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself,the timing of the signals
changes.
That is by design. Bellevue,a fast-growing city,just east of Seattle,uses a
system that is gaining popularity around the US:intersection(十字路口)signals
that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These lights,known as adaptive
signals,have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels
between work and home.
“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being
addressed,” says Alex Stevanovic,a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.
For all of Bellevue's success,adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed

roadways. Kevin Balke , a research engineer at the Texas A&M University
Transportation Institute,says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for
some cities,others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars
on the road will make a meaningful difference. “It's not going to fix everything, but
adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities,” he says.
In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of
welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an automatic reaction to
increased traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportation
Department's traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will
consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.
1. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Increased length of green lights. B. Shortened traffic signal cycle.
C. Flexible timing of traffic signals. D. Smooth traffic flow on the road.
2. What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?
A. They work better on broad roads.
B. They should be used in other cities.
C. They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.
D. They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.
3. What can we learn from Bellevue's success?
A. It is rewarding to try new things. B. The old methods still work today.
C. I pays to put theory into practice. D. The simplest way is the best way.

Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking,planning and
other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age,a study
published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests.
Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more
than 1 , 000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the
volunteers' memory and thinking skills through a battery of tests. Then,for
eight years,the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab
every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.
Those who had held mentally stimulating(刺激),demanding jobs before
retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose
cognitive(认知)function at a much slower rate than those with the least
mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists
accounted for the participants' overall health status.
“This works just like physical exercise,” says Francisca Then,who
led the study. “After a long run,you may feel like you're in pain,you may
feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work-sure,you will feel
tired,but it can help your brain stay healthy. ”
It's not just corporate jobs,or even paid work that can help keep your brain
fit,Then points out. A waiter's job,for example,that requires multitasking,
teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level
office work. And “running a family household requires high-level planning
and coordinating(协调),” she says. “You have to organize the activities
of the children and take care of the bills and groceries.
Of course,our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons-
including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still,continuing to
challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help.
1. Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests?
A. To assess their health status. B. To evaluate their work habits.
C. To analyze their personality. D. To measure their mental ability.
2. How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4?
A. By using an expert's words. B. By making a comparison.
C. By referring to another study. D. By introducing a concept.
3. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

I never knew anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs.
Calloway, our librarian. She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself.
SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere If she thought you were
dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was
willing; I would do anything to read.
My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway She wished me to have my own
library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me. “Eudora
is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves,
children or adults,” Mother said.
Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book
to the library on the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that
you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books
at time and two only. So two by two,I read library books as fast as I could go: rushing
them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute reached our house, I started
to read. knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time.

the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother’s two

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is road testing a new way to keep winter roads ice-free
-by spreading on them cheese brine, the salty liquid used to make soft cheeses, like
mozzarella.
Wisconsin, also called “America’s Dairyland,” is famous for its cheese. The state
produced 2.8 billion pounds of cheese last year! As a result, there was a lot of leftover
cheese brine. Disposing of(处置)the brine can be expensive. So what should
cheese makers do with the waste?
机密资料 请勿外传 329 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Normally, towns use rock salt to de-ice streets. The salt lowers water’s freezing
point, causing ice to melt(融化). But using cheese brine could help both cheese
producers and cities save money, while keeping roads safe Cheese brine has salt in it,
which, like the rock salt, helps lower water’s freezing point.
In addition to saving money, cheese brine could also be a more eco-friendly
option. Many people suspect that all the rock salt used every winter is harming the
environment.
Rock salt is made of sodium chloride, the same compound (化合物)in
ordinary table salt. Sounds harmless, right? But while you probably add only a small
amount of salt to your food, road crews spread about 20 million tons of salt on U. S.
roads every year!
The chemical washes off roads and goes into the ground. There it can pollute
drinking water, harm plants, and eat away soil. By spreading cheese brine on streets
before adding a layer of rock salt, Milwaukee may be able to cut its rock salt use by
30 percent.
Cheese brine has a downside too a smell similar to that of bad milk. “I don’t
really mind it,” Emil Norby told Modern Farmer magazine. He works for one of
Wisconsin’s county highway commissions and came up with the idea of using cheese
brine. “Our roads smell like Wisconsin!” he said.
1. Why can cheese brine help keep winter roads ice-free?
A. It is soft. B. It contains salt.
C. It is warm. D. It has milk in it.
2. What is benefit of using cheese brine on roads?
A. Improving air quality. B. Increasing sales of rock salt.
C. Reducing water pollution. D. Saving the cheese industry.
3. Milwaukee’s new way to de-ice streets may be an example of __________.
A. barking up the wrong tree B. putting the cart before the horse
C. robbing Peter to pay Paul D. killing two birds with one stone

Today’s world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for
success is persistence (毅力) , characteristic that researchers say is heavily
influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that
fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings
after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the
persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-
Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence
-- which can be taught -- are key to a child’s life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” parenting
style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling.
Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics:
children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind
rules are stressed;children are given an appropriate level of autonomy(自主权).
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of
authoritative parenting. key finding is that over time, children raised by an
authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads
to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes.
Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the
benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.

Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military(军队的)medals for
sale in antique stores and on the Internet. But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down
the medals' rightful owners, and returns them.
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from
his mother, a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A.G. Piccoli, found in an antique
shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart—he earned one himself in a war as a
soldier. So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to
do.
Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado's sister Adeline Rockko. But
when he finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions:“Who are you?
What antique shop?”However, when she hung up, she regretted the way she had
handled the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet Zac
in Watertown, N.Y.“At that point, I knew she meant business,”Zac says.“To drive
eight hours to come to see me.”
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a
translator for the Army during WWII, was killed in action in Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn't realized the medal was missing. Like
many military medals, the one Zac's mother had found was a family treasure.“This
medal was very precious to my parents. Only on special occasions(场合)would they
take it out and let us hold it in our hands,”Adeline says.
As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant. “But
as I grew older,”Adeline says,“and missed my brother more and more, I realized that
was the only thing we had left.”Corrado Piccoli's Purple Heart medal now hangs at
the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.
Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first
reunited Corrado's medal, Zac says his record is now 5 for 5.
1.Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself?
A.In the army.
B.In an antique shop.
C.From his mother.
D.From Adeline Rockko.
2.What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him?

Money with no strings attached. It's not something you see every day. But at
Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to
it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”
People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their
机密资料 请勿外传 334 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
own cash to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济
的)backgrounds gave and took,” said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the
project. “We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a
few dollars.”Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives,
tens and even twenties. The video clip(片段) shows one man who had found a $20
bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of
smiles,”Bridges said.“There's a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was
apparent in those that gave the most.”Most people who took dollars took only a few,
but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal
was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities
might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
“After all, everyone has bad days and good days,”he said. “Some days you need a
helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”
1.What does the expression “money with no strings attached” in paragraph 1
mean?
A.Money spent without hesitation.
B.Money not legally made.
C.Money offered without conditions.
D.Money not tied together.
2.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?
A.Women tended to be more sociable.
B.The activity attracted various people.
C.Economic problems were getting worse.
D.Young couples needed financial assistance.
3.Why did Bridges carry out the project?

California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be
published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on
more than 46,000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was
spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to
the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big
trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline
was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who
was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development
pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded
with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with
another one between 2001 and 2010,McIntyre and his colleagues documented a
widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from
woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest
water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that
calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they
needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil,
and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).
Since the 1930s,McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the
state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air,
and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry
season.
1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B.The increasing variety of California big trees.
C.The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D.The influence of farming on big trees in California.
2.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A.Ecological studies of forests.
B.Banning woodcutting.
C.Limiting housing development.
机密资料 请勿外传 336 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
D.Fire control measures.
3.What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A.Inadequate snowmelt.
B.A longer dry season.
C.A warmer climate.
D.Dampness of the air.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D.Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
答案

The most welcome sight on a cold, wet winter night in London is the familiar
shape of a London taxi cab approaching with its yellow “for hire” sign shining
brightly. That shows it is ready to pick you up. Travelling by taxi in London is not just
a way of going from one place to another. It is an experience to be enjoyed and
remembered.
The main reason for this is the drivers, who are called “cabbies.” Many of them
are true Cockneys. This means they were born in the heart of London and speak their
own special dialect(方言)of English. All of them know every street and famous
building in the city, and all of them love to talk. A simple twenty-minute journey
across town can become very interesting. You may have a discussion about the
机密资料 请勿外传 337 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
government and its leaders or a friendly talk about the driver’s Aunty Nellie! One
thing is for sure, it will never be boring. Cabbies know all the latest news about film
stars, the Royal Family, government leaders, and popular singers or actors and
actresses.
They also know the best places to eat, shop and relax. And they can take you
straight to any large hotel, department store, theatre or museum. They know the
shortest way possible without even looking at a map, because everyone who wants to
become a taxi driver must pass a very difficult examination in order to get a license to
drive a taxi. The exam is called “The Knowledge.” It is a written test, and in it drivers
are asked the shortest way from one place to another. They must take into account the
time of day—in rush hour, a longer route(路线)may be quicker—and describe the best
way. Moreover they must never forget the one-way streets!
1.From what can we tell that someone is a Cockney?
A.Their interest.
B.Their manners.
C.Their speech.
D.Their appearance.
2.What does the author suggest by mentioning “Aunty Nellie” in paragraph 2?
A.Passengers are full of curiosity.
B.Cabbies’ topics are wide-ranging.

This month millions of American kids can forget about classroom bells and set
off for grandparents' homes, sleep-away camps and lifeguard stands. But summer
vacation hasn't always been a birthright of U.S. schoolchildren. Before the Civil War,
schools operated on one of two calendars(日历), neither of which included a summer
vacation. Rural(农村的)schooling was divided into summer and winter terms, leaving
kids free to help with the farm work in the spring planting and fall harvest seasons.
Urban students, meanwhile, regularly had as many as 48 weeks of study a year, with
one break per quarter.
In the 1840s, however, educational reformers like Horace Mann moved to
combine the two calendars out of concern that rural schooling was not enough and
that overusing of young minds could lead to nervous disorders. Summer appeared as
the obvious time for a break:it offered a rest for teachers, fit in the farming calendar
and reduced doctors' concern that packing students into hot classrooms would
promote the spread of disease.
But people's opinion about the modern U.S. school year, which averages 180
days, is still divided. Some experts say its pleasant but lazy summer break, which took
hold in the early 20th century, is one of the reasons math skills and graduation rates of
U.S. high schoolers ranked well below average in two international education reports
published in 2007. Others insist that with children under increasing pressure to devote
their downtime to internships(实习)or study, there's still room for an institution that
protects the lazy days of childhood.
1.What did the rural school calendar before the Civil War allow children to do?
A.Enjoy a summer vacation.
B.Take a break each quarter. C.Have 48 weeks of study a year.

2.What did the educational reformers do in the 1840s?
A.They introduced summer vacation.
B.They shortened rural school terms. C.They promoted the study of farming.
D.They advocated higher pay for teachers.
3.Why are some people unhappy about the modern U.S. school year?
A.It pushes the teachers too hard.
B.It reduces the quality of education. C.It ignores science instruction.
D.It includes no time for internships.

I start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one big book from the
past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the
pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental:“Moby Dick” on a three-
day cross-country train trip; “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside
cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and
little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on
a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one
and a quarter volumes(册), then decided that I'd got the point and went swimming
instead.
But this summer I find myself at a loss. I'm not quite interested in Balzac, say, or
“Tristram Shandy.” There's always “War and Peace,” which I've covered some
distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a
while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten
everyone's name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite—
once more into “The Waves” or “Justine,” which feels almost like cheating, too
exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.
And then there's Stendhal's “The Red and the Black,” which happens to be the
name of my favorite cocktail(鸡尾酒)of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at
Savoy and Back Forty. It is easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like
such a delightful idea. Cecconi's theory:“I take whatever's fresh at the greenmarket
and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park, making one
feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating

In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in
Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first
novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The
steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in
England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the
authors, often with something like“By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked
upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.
In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional
机密资料 请勿外传 341 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the
publication of novels and their readership and whose characters—from Oliver Twist
to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is
unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂)of English literature would
make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.
How did Dickens get to the top?For all the feelings readers attach to stories,
literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some
60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a
casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that
Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his
writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he
rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know
what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished
writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible—and
important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.
1.Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?
A.They were difficult to understand.
B.They were popular among the rich.
C.They were seen as nearly worthless.
D.They were written mostly by women.

Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when
you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter,
including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even
more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic
shopping bag.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many
end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not
allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in
California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are
hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the
planet as most people assume.
机密资料 请勿外传 343 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
Among the bag makers' arguments:many cities with bans still allow shoppers to
purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce
and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small
percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its
replacement:reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life
and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags
often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at
least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑)these points. They hope paper bags will be
banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
1.What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A.Help increase grocery sales.
B.Recycle the waste material. C.Stop things falling off trucks.
D.Argue for the use of plastic bags.
2.What does the word“headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Bans on plastic bags.
B.Effects of city development. C.Headaches caused by garbage.

As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was
built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the
assembly line(装配线) on September 27,1908. Only eleven cars were produced the
next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.

Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the
most lasting aspects of American culture:the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel,
even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to
be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the
road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap
cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in
history.
In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with“a chicken in every pot and a car
in every garage.”Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as
the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.
The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological
disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.
The problems of excessive( 过 度 的 ) energy consumption, climate change and
population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L.
Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.
Friedman points out that the green economy(经济) is a chance to keep American
strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing
clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of
power in the new century.”
1.Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car.
B.To show the influence of cars on American culture.
C.To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.
D.To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.
2.What has the use of cars in America led to?
A.Decline of economy.
B.Environmental problems.
C.A shortage of oil supply.
D.A farm-based society.
3.What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?
A.Ambiguous B.Doubtful.
C.Hopeful. D.Tolerant.

When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was
one of my customers. She'd watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd
biked up to her doorstep, there'd be a cold drink waiting, I'd sit and drink while she
talked.
Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband. “Mr. Stanley and I went
shopping this morning,” she'd say. The first time she said that, soda(汽水) went up my
nose.
I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad
said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and
smile, and maybe she'd work it out of her system. So that's what I did, and it turned
out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the
cemetery(墓地).
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years.
Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed
potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she'd had to offer her paperboy a drink
to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life
went on.
I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids.
She asks me how I'm doing. When I don't say “fine,” she sticks around to hear my
problems. She's lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community.
Community isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people
ask how you're doing because they care, and not because they're getting paid to do so.
Sometimes it's good to just smile, nod your head and listen.
1.Why did soda go up the author's nose one time?

It's surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we
think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful,
crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more
insights(领悟).
So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear?
We're all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more
attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the
clothes actually change cognitive (认知的) performance or is it just a feeling?
Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on
people's powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with
scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.
What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than
those who weren't. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their
own clothes on the Stroop Test (one way of measuring attention). The researchers call
the effect “enclothed cognition,” suggesting that all manner of different clothes
probably affect our cognition in many different ways.
This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who
wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and

smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef's hat make the resultant food taste

There are energy savings to be made from all recyclable materials, sometimes
huge savings. Recycling plastics and aluminum, for instance, uses only 5% to 10% as
much energy as producing new plastic or smelting(提炼)aluminum.
Long before most of us even noticed what we now call “the environment,”
Buckminster Fuller said,“Pollution is nothing but the resources( 资源)we are not
harvesting. We allow them to be left around because we've been ignorant of their
value.” To take one example, let's compare the throwaway economy(经济)with a
recycling economy as we feed a cat for life.
Say your cat weighs 5kg and eats one can of food each day. Each empty can of
its food weighs 40g. In a throwaway economy, you would throw away 5,475 cans
over the cat's 15-year lifetime. That's 219kg of steel—more than a fifth of a ton and
more than 40 times the cat's weight.
In a recycling economy, we would make one set of 100 cans to start with, then
replace them over and over again with recycled cans. Since almost 3% of the metal is
lost during reprocessing, we'd have to make an extra 10 cans each year. But in all,
only 150 cans will be used up over the cat's lifetime—and we'll still have 100 left over
机密资料 请勿外传 348 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
for the next cat.
Instead of using up 219kg of steel, we've used only 6kg. And because the process
of recycling steel is less polluting than making new steel, we've also achieved the
following significant savings:in energy use—47% to 74%; in air pollution—85%; in
water pollution—35%; in water use—40%.
1.What does Buckminster Fuller say about pollution?
A.It is becoming more serious.
B.It destroys the environment. C.It benefits the economy.
D.It is the resources yet to be used.
2.How many cans will be used up in a cat's 15-year lifetime in a recycling economy?
A.50. B.100. C.150. D.250.
3.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To promote the idea of recycling.
B.To introduce an environmentalist. C.To discuss the causes of pollution.

Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when
he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told
him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel's hair. There were no
camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur
from the family cat to make a brush.
The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat
began to look ragged(蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was
forced to admit what he had been doing.
The cat's lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin's cousins, Mr.
Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings. When he
went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six
engravings(版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and
brushes Benjamin had ever seen.
In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another
visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin's
机密资料 请勿外传 349 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.
The boy began a landscape(风景)painting. William Williams, a well-known painter,
came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two
classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin
could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two
books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.”While it is likely
that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical
paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.
1.What is the text mainly about?
A.Benjamin's visit to Philadelphia.
B.Williams' influence on Benjamin.
C.The beginning of Benjamin's life as an artist.
D.The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.
2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?
A.The cat would be closely watched.
B.The cat would get some medical care.
C.Benjamin would leave his home shortly.
D.Benjamin would have real brushes soon.
3.What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?
A.He took him to see painting exhibitions.
B.He provided him with painting materials.
C.He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.
D.He taught him how to make engravings.
4.Williams' two books helped Benjamin to .
A.master the use of paints
B.appreciate landscape paintings
C.get to know other painters

Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to
a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go
to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last
year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7-to 12-year-olds said they felt tired
during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.
How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest:
most of them sleep about 18 hours a day!Adults need about eight hours. For most
school-age children, ten hours is ideal( 理 想 的 ). But the new National Sleep
Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight
hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime?
Watch TV.
“More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more
opportunities(机会) to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone,”
says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School.
She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them
to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing
levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers' bodies develop
adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.
Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have
decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in
Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am. Students, parents
and teachers are pleased with the results.

FLORENCE, Italy—Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt. The Moldovan has lived here
seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly, but in order to stay she's had
to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to
an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.
Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing
immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work
permits, or in some cases, citizenship.
Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more
difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for
intolerance than integration(融合). Others say it's only natural that newcomers learn
the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute
to society.
Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some
terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better
join the society and promote understanding across cultures.
Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp
机密资料 请勿外传 352 / 355北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 2024版《5年高考3年模拟》B版
increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14
million out of Italy's then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this
year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6
million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants' children accounting for an ever larger
percentage of births in Italy.
Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住
权 )would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in
Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the
language requirement would encourage integration.
Italians always “see me as a foreigner,”an outsider, even though she's stayed in
the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.
1.Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?
A.To continue to stay in Italy.
B.To teach her children Italian.
C.To find a better job in Italy.
D.To better mix with the Italians.
2.Some people worry that the new language requirement may .
A.reduce Italy's population quickly
B.cause conflicts among people
C.lead to financial difficulties
D.put pressure on schools
3.What do we know about Cojochru?
A.She lives with her sister now in Italy.
B.She enjoys learning the Italian language.
C.She speaks Italian well enough for her job.
D.She wishes to go back to her home country.

The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who
is able to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator(发
电机). The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have
to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity—roughly 15 minutes of cycling for
someone of average fitness. Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meal tickets
worth $36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The bicycles will
have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being
generated for the hotel.
The plan, a world-first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests
staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel
spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the
gym. There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I
don't think people will take advantage of our programme.”
Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to
work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website
visitcopenhagen.dk. US environmental website treehugger.com recently voted
Copenhagen the world's best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly
connected with cycling,we felt the bicycle would work well as a symbol of the hotel's
green profile(形象).”
If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne
Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in a statement.
1.What is the main purpose of the free meal programme?
A.To promote the hotel's green concept.
B.To make the city known to the world. C.To attract people to the hotel
restaurant.
D.To get guests to stay longer at the hotel.
2.How can a participant get a free meal?
A.By becoming a professional cyclist.
B.By cycling to produce some electricity. C.By linking a smart phone to a
bicycle.
D.By monitoring his or her carbon footprint.
