Passage1 阅读理解
（2024 届湖南省岳阳市高三下学期教学质量监测（二））
There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything
from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the
protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government
wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more
farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples
and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to different
voices, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics.
The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community.
Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be
saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other
cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they
were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of
engineers and workers rescue d 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million
to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found
练好题精练
a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for
countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation,
the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
1．What was the major concern regarding the construction of the new dam?
A．The damage to local farms.
B．The high cost of the construction.
C．The disapproval of local communities.
D．The potential harm to cultural remains.
2．How were the cultural sites rescued?
A．By rebuilding similar cultural sites.
B．By building fences around them.
C．By taking them down into pieces.
D．By removing and piecing them together again.
3．Which of the following best describes the Aswan Dam project?
A．International cooperation is not necessary for large-scale projects.
B．It is possible to achieve progress without sacrificing cultural heritage.
C．The opinions of experts should be ignored in favor of popular opinion.
D．Countries should always prioritize their own interests over global concerns.
4．What is the key to the success of the Aswan Dam project?
A．Trial and error.
B．Adequate investment.
C．Global cooperation.
D．Careful investigation.
【长难句分析】
【文章原句】Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but
they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
【句式分析】 这是一个由 "Not only... but also..." 连接的并列复合句，表示"不仅……而且……"的递进关
系。
两部分均使用 过去完成时（had + 过去分词），强调动作发生在过去的过去。定语从句：that did not run over
the relics of the past（修饰"a path"），意为"不践踏过去遗迹的道路"。宾语从句：that it was possible for countries
to work together...（"it"为形式主语，真正主语是"for...to..."不定式结构）
【翻译】这些国家不仅找到了一条不践踏历史遗迹的通向未来的道路，而且它们还了解到，各国可以携手合
作，建设更美好的明天。
Passage2 阅读理解
（山东省青岛市黄岛区高三上学期期末）
China’s Ministry of Water Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission announced the
official full completion of its construction, saying the Three Gorges project has met all design requirements, has a
good overall performance, and fulfills the key roles of flood control, electricity generation, shipping and water-
resource utilization (利用).
By the end of August, the dam had held back 180 billion cubic meters of water during flood seasons. It saw
inflows of over 70,000 cubic meters per second in 2010, 2012 and 2020 and reduced flood peaks by about 40
percent, the review said, greatly easing flood-control pressure in downstream rice-growing areas.
During dry seasons, discharges have been raised to more than 5,500 cubic meters per second, providing more
than 20 billion cubic meters of water a year for the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. By the end of
August, the reservoir had provided replenishment (补水) for 2,267 days, with a total water supply of 289.4 billion
cubic meters, improving production, living conditions and the ecology of the river’s middle and lower reaches, the
review said.
The world’s largest hydropower station, the dam had generated over 1.35 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity
by August, contributing to electricity supply in Central and East China and in Guangdong province. The project has
also significantly improved navigation (航运) conditions and strengthened shipping capacity in the Yangtze. By
August, some 1.48 billion tons of cargo had passed through the Three Gorges Dam, boosting development in the
Yangtze’s economic belt. The production and living environments of the 1.31 million people who were relocated to
make way for the Three Gorges project have been greatly improved, and the basic facilities and public service
facilities in the reservoir area have developed rapidly, it said.
5．Which of the following may be the title of the news?
A．The construction of the Three Gorges Project is fully completed.
B．How the Three Gorges Project has been in operation.
C．The reasons why China built the Three Gorges Project.
D．People in the reservoir area are happier than before.
6．What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．The dam is built aiming to control flood.
B．The dam holds back the same amount of water each year.
C．The inflows in 2010, 2012 and 2020 are smaller than usual.
D．The downstream areas suffer fewer floods due to the dam.
7．What does the underlined word “discharges” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Amounts of giving off something.
B．Things free of charge.
C．Passengers getting off board.
D．Substances that are released.
8．Which is true according to the last paragraph?
A．The electricity generated by the dam is a good supply for West China.
B．The dam has both active and negative effect to the Yangtze’s economic belt.
C．People living in the reservoir area have got better living conditions.
D．1.31 million people have lost their homes to make way for the dam.

Passage 4 语法填空
（2025·高三一轮复习）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A total of 168 projects, aimed at
1
(help) relocatees settle and prosper, improve the ecological
environment, and enhance the 2 (safe) in reservoir areas in Xingshan county of Yichang, Hubei province,
have been approved for construction. Some 160 of those have been completed, using 2.5 billion yuan in funding
from the Three Gorges follow-up special subsidy, said Long Jingli, deputy head of Xingshan county.
One of the
3
(project), the highway from Gufu town to Zhaojun town in Xingshan, has become
known for being China’s “most beautiful highway on the water”
4
it skims the river bank.
Stretching 20.25 kilometers, the winding highway that traverses the Xiangxi River offers travelers the
opportunity to relish mountain vistas and river views akin to a painting. Private vehicles, intercity buses and coach
tours ply the road back and forth,
5
its observation decks and platforms enticing numerous tourists and
artists who come from far and wide to sketch the vistas.
It’s practical too. When the highway opened to traffic in late 2015, the journey time from Xingshan county to
Yichang was reduced to a mere 1.5 hours,
6
(great) facilitating the travel of the people of Xingshan and
significantly augmenting the income of resettlers in Shenduhe village, Gufu town, Xingshan county.
Wan Wei, Party secretary of Shenduhe village, said, “40 percent of the population in Shenduhe village are
resettlers from the reservoir-affected area.”
Before the road
7
(build), the transportation cost was very high. Buyers would have to drive all the
way to Shenduhe village to purchase citrus fruits in bulk for just 0.5 yuan per kilogram,
8
was the main
source of income for the villagers, said Wan.
In other towns of Xingshan county, the Three Gorges follow-up special subsidy has also significantly
improved the quality of life of the people relocated.
Chenjiawan village, with more than 300 residents relocated to higher ground, launched the Zhaojun Manor
project in March 2015, renovating the facades of 97 buildings,
9
(construct) 6,850 square meters of green
space, converting 96 latrines into flushing toilets and developing 19.5 km of comprehensive networks for rainwater,
sewage and communication, greatly enhancing the village’s appearance and living environment.
Li Xiaojiao, deputy secretary of the Chenjiawan village Party committee, said it used to be
10
unclean and disorderly place. “By leveraging a total investment of 46 million yuan, including the Three Gorges
subsidy, the town now has a very tidy and stylish appearance and has become a place popular for cultural tourism,
attracting 830,000 tourists since 2015, and achieving a total tourism revenue of approximately 50 million yuan.”
