（2023年全國甲卷英語真題） 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, 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 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 that 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. Two fifth wish to increase the value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.
4．Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1?
A．An artist. B．A winner. C．A specialist. D．A pioneer.
5．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.
6．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.
7．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.

（2023年全國甲卷英語真題）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 (哲學(xué)).
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 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 (解讀) 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.
8．Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?
A．Foucault. B．Eric Weiner.
C．Jostein Gaarder. D．A college teacher.
9．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.
10．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.
11．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.

（2023年全國甲卷英語真題）Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, 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 US 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 US. Their recovery has been so successful that the US 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 (預(yù)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.
12．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.
D．They are a symbol of American culture.
13．What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A．The European settlers’ behavior.
B．The expansion of bears’ range.
C．The protection by law since 1975.
D．The support of Native Americans.
14．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.
15．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.

（2022年全國甲卷英語高考真題）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 (對稱的) 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 cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (線索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
19．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.
20．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.
21．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.
22．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: Skillful Shape-Sorters

（2022年全國甲卷英語高考真題）As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鵝) 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 (職業(yè)) 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.
23．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.
24．What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A．Lovely penguins. B．Beautiful scenery.
C．A discount fare. D．A friend’s invitation.
25．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.
26．What is the text mainly about?
A．A childhood dream. B．An unforgettable experience.
C．Sailing around the world. D．Meeting animals in Antarctica.

（2022年全國甲卷英語高考真題）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 (口號), 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 traditional one. It’s a conflict that we aren’t getting any better at resolving (解決).”
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.
27．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.
28．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.
29．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.
30．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.

Skiddaw in Winter
Cumbria, England
It was an extremely cold winter’s evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sun setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black—and—white image(圖像).
Timothy Smith(2014)

（2021年高考全國甲卷英語試題）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 (圈養(yǎng)).
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.

（2021年高考全國甲卷英語試題）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(橫桿), 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.”
38．What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?

（2021年高考全國甲卷英語試題）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(性別)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 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.”
42．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.
43．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
44．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.
45．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

（2021年全國高考乙卷英語試題）The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece.

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 (調(diào)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 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?
49．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.
50．What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Admit. B．Argue.
C．Remember. D．Remark.
51．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.
52．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.

（2021年全國高考乙卷英語試題）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 (來源) 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 (說明) 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 (傾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
53．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.
54．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.
55．What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?
A．Calming. B．Disturbing.
C．Refreshing. D．Challenging.
56．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety
B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

（2021年全國高考乙卷英語試題）During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction (干擾) 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 and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels (分貝), 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.
57．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.
58．Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?
A．Total silence. B．50 decibels C．70 decibels. D．85 decibels.
59．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.
60．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.

（2022年全國乙卷英語高考真題）In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N. Y. — Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood — traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter.
Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken.
They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.
In Wickenden’s book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed (牽涉) 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 (堅忍) 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.”
64．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.
65．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.
66．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.
67．What is the text?
A．A news report. B．A book review. C．A children’s story. D．A diary entry.

（2022年全國乙卷英語高考真題）Can a small group of drones (無人機(jī)) 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 make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基礎(chǔ)設(shè)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.
68．What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?
A．The use of drones in checking on power lines. B．Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes.
C．The reduction of cost in designing drones. D．Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas.
69．What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Personnel safety. B．Assistance from drones.
C．Inspection and repair. D．Construction of infrastructure.
70．What function is expected of the rail drones?
A．To provide early warning. B．To make trains run automatically.
C．To earn profits for the crews. D．To accelerate transportation.
71．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones
B．How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded
C．What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face
D．How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways

（2022年全國乙卷英語高考真題）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 (設(shè)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.
72．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.
73．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. D．They reduced their products’ sugar content.
74．From which of the following is the sugar tax collected?
A．Most alcoholic drinks. B．Milk-based drinks. C．Fruit juices. D．Classic Coke.
75．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.

（2023年全國乙卷英語真題）Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (風(fēng)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 10-minute 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 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 (路線) 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.
79．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.
80．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.
81．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.
82．How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake?
A．Amusing. B．Satisfying.
C．Encouraging. D．Comforting.

（2023年全國乙卷英語真題）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 obsession (癡迷) 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.
83．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.
84．Which best describes cookery programme on British TV?
A．Authoritative. B．Creative. C．Profitable. D．Influential.
85．Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?
A．20%. B．24%. C．25%. D．33%.
86．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.

（2023年全國乙卷英語真題）If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (聯(lián)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.
87．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.
88．What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?
A．His report was scientific. B．He represented the local people.
C．He ruled over Botany Bay. D．His record was one-sided.
89．What does the underlined word “conversation” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Problem. B．History. C．Voice. D．Society.
90．Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?
A． How Maps Tell Stories of the World B． A Short History of Australia
C． A History of the World in 100 Objects D． How Art Works Tell Stories

9．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“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. (Weiner在每一章的開頭都描述了一個城市之間火車旅行的場景，然后將每一位哲學(xué)家的著作框定在一個他們能夠幫助我們做得更好的事情上。最終的結(jié)果是，我們學(xué)會了像蘇格拉底一樣思考，像梭羅一樣看，像叔本華一樣聽，像尼采一樣沒有遺憾。)”可知，作者在第四段開頭描寫了Weiner書的內(nèi)容，接著作者通過列舉了幾位偉大的哲學(xué)家來描寫讀完這本書后我們能從中學(xué)到的東西，由此可推知，作者列舉了幾位偉大的哲學(xué)家是為了幫助讀者理解Weiners的書。故選D。
10．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“This, more than a book about undestanding philosophy, is a book abour learning to use philosophy to improve a life.(這不僅僅是一本關(guān)于理解哲學(xué)的書，更是一本關(guān)于學(xué)習(xí)運(yùn)用哲學(xué)來改善生活的書。)”可知，作者喜歡The Socrates Express這本書，是因?yàn)樗乃枷肟梢詰?yīng)用到日常生活中。故選B。
11．推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“He makes philosopical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor.(他使哲學(xué)思想成為一種有吸引力的練習(xí)，可以提高我們經(jīng)驗(yàn)的質(zhì)量，而且他在做這件事的時候充滿了幽默感。)”可知，Weiners的書很幽默，根據(jù)最后一段中“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 Socrates Express是一本有趣而尖銳的書，它以其表面上的簡單吸引著讀者，并逐漸將他們拉進(jìn)對欲望、孤獨(dú)和衰老的深層思考中。)”可知，Weiners的書簡單易懂，由此可知，Weiners的書既幽默又簡單易懂。故選D。

【導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文，講述了美國灰熊從瀕危物種恢復(fù)到2000多頭，但也帶來了一些問題。
12．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche-we revere them even as they give us frightening dreams. (灰熊可以長到2.5米長，體重超過400公斤，在美國人的心理中占據(jù)著一個矛盾的角落——即使它們給我們帶來可怕的夢，我們也敬畏它們)”可知，美國人對灰熊既有害怕，又有敬畏，他們的情感是混合的。故選A項(xiàng)。
13．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act. (1975年，灰熊被列入《瀕危物種法》)”以及第四段“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. (如今，美國大約有2,000只或更多的灰熊。它們的恢復(fù)非常成功，以至于美國魚類和野生動物管理局兩次試圖將灰熊從名單上除名，這將放松對灰熊的法律保護(hù)，允許它們被獵殺)”可推知，由于1975年起受法律保護(hù)，灰熊的數(shù)量有了增長。故選C項(xiàng)。
14．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“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. (如今，美國大約有2,000只或更多的灰熊。它們的恢復(fù)非常成功，以至于美國魚類和野生動物管理局兩次試圖將灰熊從名單上除名，這將放松對灰熊的法律保護(hù)，允許它們被獵殺。由于環(huán)保組織的訴訟，這兩項(xiàng)努力都被推翻了。目前，灰熊仍在名單上)”可知，是環(huán)保組織的的反對阻止了美國魚類和野生動物管理局將灰熊從瀕危物種名單上除名。故選A項(xiàng)。
15．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Obviously, if precautions 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. (顯然，如果不采取預(yù)防措施，灰熊會變得很麻煩，有時會殺死農(nóng)場動物，或者在院子里尋找食物。如果人們把食物和引誘劑從他們的院子和露營地移走，灰熊通常會安然通過。在雞舍和其他農(nóng)場動物生活區(qū)周圍設(shè)置電動圍欄也能有效地趕走灰熊?！拔覀兿Ｍ幸粋€干凈，沒有誘餌的地方，熊可以通過，而不會養(yǎng)成壞習(xí)慣，”詹姆斯·瓊克爾說，他是一位長期管理米蘇拉及其周圍熊的生物學(xué)家)”可推知，灰熊數(shù)量增長，雖然會帶來一些麻煩，但是如果采取一些預(yù)防措施，人和灰熊可以和諧相處。故選B項(xiàng)。

(那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知，作者掌握了滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋友大聲歡呼，因此可以推出本句的Safe是贊美的含義。故選B。

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.(據(jù)說歷史是由勝利者書寫的，而那些勝利者為進(jìn)入天才俱樂部設(shè)定了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。當(dāng)俱樂部以外的天才——女性或不同膚色或信仰的人——做出貢獻(xiàn)時，他們不會被承認(rèn)并且被其他人拒絕。)”可知，作者認(rèn)為那些“勝利者”對進(jìn)“天才俱樂部”設(shè)置的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是不公平的，因?yàn)榕曰蛘卟煌w色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承認(rèn)的。故選A。
43．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的“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.(更糟糕的是，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)女孩們是按照這個信念行事的。六歲左右，她們開始避免那些據(jù)說是“非常非常聰明”的孩子參加的活動。)”可推知，女孩容易受到社會信仰的影響，認(rèn)為自己不適合做“聰明孩子”做的事情。故選D。
44．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.(在一個擁有持續(xù)的全球交流的聯(lián)網(wǎng)的世界里，我們隨時隨地都能看到天才的出現(xiàn)。)”可知，進(jìn)步的全球通訊讓更多的天才被公眾所知道。故選A。
45．主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的主要內(nèi)容，結(jié)合文章第一段提出問題“Who is a genius?(誰是天才)”和最后一段的“And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.(我們看得越多，就越會發(fā)現(xiàn)，像性別、種族和階級這樣的社會因素并不能決定天才的外表。正如一位作家所說，未來的天才來自那些具有“智慧、創(chuàng)造力、毅力和那些能夠改變世界的簡單天才。)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大貢獻(xiàn)的人，他們也可以是某一方面比較突出的普通人。由此可知B項(xiàng)“天才有多種形式”可以作為本文最佳標(biāo)題。故選B。

Opened: September 24, 1927.（凱爾菲爾德，學(xué)院站，得克薩斯州，容量: 102,512。開放時間: 1927年9月24日。）”可知Kyle Field的開業(yè)時間是1927年9月24日；通過對比，Ohio Stadium的開業(yè)時間最久遠(yuǎn)，是最老的體育場。故選C項(xiàng)。
48．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport. (所有這些體育場館仍在使用，仍在開放，仍在舉辦世界上最大的體育賽事。)”可知，這些體育館都還在承辦大型的體育賽事，這是他們的共同點(diǎn)。故選A項(xiàng)。

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了澳大利亞使用固定電話的情況，并且表達(dá)了固定電話是非必需品的觀點(diǎn)。
49．主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第二段“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.(現(xiàn)在你很難在澳大利亞找到15歲以上的沒有手機(jī)的人。事實(shí)上，很多年幼的孩子口袋里都有手機(jī)。幾乎每個人都可以隨時隨地?fù)艽蚝徒勇犽娫?”可推知，本段主要說明手機(jī)在澳大利亞廣受歡迎。故選B項(xiàng)。
50．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第三段“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.(在那些仍然擁有固定電話的澳大利亞人中，三分之一的人concede這不是真正必須的，他們將其作為一種安全保障——19%的人說他們從未使用過固定電話，另有13%的人保留固定電話以防緊急情況)”可知，許多人認(rèn)為固定電話并不是必須擁有的，有些人保留固定電話只是為了防止緊急情況，所以三分之一的人承認(rèn)了固定電話的非必要性。由此推知，推測劃線單詞表示“承認(rèn)”，與admit同義。故選A項(xiàng)。
51．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.(嬰兒潮時代中有84%的人可能已經(jīng)有50年相同的家庭號碼了)”以及第五段“That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents (也就是說，老實(shí)說，唯一打過我們家電話的人是嬰兒潮一代的父母)”可推知，嬰兒潮一代的人一直在用固定電話。故選C項(xiàng)。
52．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries? (你有多喜歡你的固定電話？它們還要多久才能走上煤氣路燈和早晨送牛奶的道路？)”以及常識可知，本段使用類比的方式，使用煤氣路燈以及早晨送牛奶已經(jīng)被淘汰的例子，側(cè)面說明了固定電話總有一天會被廢棄的。故選B項(xiàng)。
53．C 54．A 55．B 56．D

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了藝術(shù)家Benjamin Von Wong使用海洋中的塑料垃圾制作了一個巨型雕塑，極其震撼，引發(fā)人們對塑料污染的反思。
53．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.(他用塑料垃圾建造巨大的雕塑，迫使觀眾重新審視他們與一次性塑料產(chǎn)品的關(guān)系)”可知，Von Wong用塑料垃圾制作雕塑，是想讓人們重新審視與一次性塑料制品的關(guān)系，引起公眾對塑料垃圾的關(guān)注。故選C項(xiàng)。
54．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (來源) 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. (全球只有9%的塑料垃圾被回收。塑料吸管絕不是最大的塑料污染源，但它們最近卻受到了抨擊，因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)人不需要吸管喝飲料，而且由于它們體積小、重量輕，無法回收利用)”可知，塑料吸管體積小、重量輕，無法回收利用。由此推知，作者在第三段討論塑料吸管是為了展示它們回收的難度。故選A項(xiàng)。
55．推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“In a piece form 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (說明) 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 (傾倒) from a truck all at once.(在2018年的一個作品中，Von Wong想要說明一個具體的統(tǒng)計數(shù)字：每60秒，就有一卡車塑料進(jìn)入海洋。這項(xiàng)名為“一卡車塑料”的作品，Von Wong和一群志愿者收集了一萬多塊塑料，然后把它們綁在一起，讓它們看起來像是同時從卡車上傾倒下來的)”可知，這個作品以創(chuàng)新的方式讓人們了解到塑料垃圾以很快的速度和很大的量傾入海洋，刷新了觀眾對海洋塑料污染的認(rèn)知。由此推知，這個作品會讓觀眾對塑料垃圾進(jìn)入海洋造成污染這件事感到不安。故選B項(xiàng)。
56．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“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.(但一根塑料吸管或一個塑料杯真的有什么區(qū)別嗎？藝術(shù)家Benjamin Von Wong想讓你知道，它確實(shí)如此。他用塑料垃圾建造巨大的雕塑，迫使觀眾重新審視他們與一次性塑料產(chǎn)品的關(guān)系)”及下文陳述可知，藝術(shù)家Benjamin Von Wong通過使用海洋塑料垃圾制作巨型雕塑的方法，引發(fā)人們對塑料污染的反思。由此可知，“海洋塑料變成雕塑”可以作文章標(biāo)題。故選D項(xiàng)。
57．A 58．C 59．D 60．D

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。作者通過自身經(jīng)歷講述人們?yōu)槭裁床幌矚g開放性辦公室以及有關(guān)多少分貝的噪音最有利于人們的創(chuàng)造性思維的研究。
57．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“That’s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street — so I can focus(這就是為什么我在街對面的聯(lián)合辦公空間辦了會員，這樣我就能專心工作了)”可知，采訪者喜歡共享辦公空間的原因是那里可以幫助他集中精力。故選A。
58．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“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.(大多數(shù)組之間的差異在統(tǒng)計學(xué)上是不顯著的；然而，70分貝組的參與者——那些暴露在類似于咖啡店背景噪音水平的人——的表現(xiàn)明顯優(yōu)于其他組。)”和第三段“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.(但由于70分貝的結(jié)果是顯著的，該研究還表明，適當(dāng)水平的背景噪音——不要太大，也不要完全安靜——實(shí)際上可能會提高一個人的創(chuàng)造性思維能力。)”可知，70分貝的那組參與者表現(xiàn)好于其他組，所以70分貝的噪音背景環(huán)境更有可能促進(jìn)創(chuàng)造性思維能力。故選C。
59．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“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.(那么，為什么我們這么多人討厭開放式辦公室呢？問題可能在于，在我們的辦公室里，當(dāng)我們試圖集中注意力時，我們無法阻止自己卷入他人的談話中。事實(shí)上，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，面對面的交流和交談會影響創(chuàng)作過程，而聯(lián)合辦公空間或咖啡店在提供一定程度的噪音的同時，也提供了免受干擾的自由。)”可知，開放式辦公室不受人們歡迎的原因是讓我們不斷地卷入別人的談話中，受到很多干擾。故選D 。
60．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often.(在我的一本書的采訪中，我的采訪者說了一些話，我至今仍時常想起。)”可知，作者提到有人采訪自己，所以可以推斷，作者是一位作家。故選D。

62．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四個小標(biāo)題Admission部分“￡4. Children under 12 years accompanied by an adult are admitted free.(4英鎊。12歲以下兒童在一位成人陪同下免費(fèi)入場)”可知，一對夫婦應(yīng)付4+4=8英鎊，兩個12歲以下的兒童在成人陪同下免費(fèi)，即入場費(fèi)為8英鎊。故選B項(xiàng)。
63．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“A special low entrance charge of ￡2 per person is available to all in full-time education, up to and including those at first degree level, in organised groups with teachers.(所有全日制教育的學(xué)生，高至并包括那些學(xué)士學(xué)位水平的學(xué)生，在有教師的組織團(tuán)體中，均可享受每人2英鎊的特別低入場費(fèi))”可知，全日制學(xué)生在有教師的組織團(tuán)體中，可以獲得折扣，即他們必須由教師帶領(lǐng)。故選C項(xiàng)。

(1916年，來自紐約奧本市的兩個富裕家庭的女孩——Dorothy Woodruff和Rosamond Underwood——來到落基山脈的一個定居點(diǎn)，在一間只有一個房間的學(xué)校教書)”可知，Dorothy和Rosamond去落基山脈是為了去學(xué)校里教書。故選A項(xiàng)。
65．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning.(他們和一個當(dāng)?shù)丶彝ィ锷患乙黄鸢徇M(jìn)去，和他們一樣，幾乎沒有隱私，很少洗澡，早上醒來時被子上覆蓋著一層雪)”以及“In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.(在春天，雪被泥替代覆蓋在冰上)”可推知，女孩們的生活條件非常艱苦，她們的生活飽受磨難。故選D項(xiàng)。
66．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms.(令人毛骨悚然的一段與鐵路建設(shè)有關(guān)，這涉及到在令人眩目的暴風(fēng)雪中鉆穿落基山脈)”可知，Wickenden的作品中涉及落基山脈的鐵路建設(shè)這一部分是令人毛骨悚然的。故選C項(xiàng)。
67．推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn.(這本書以Rosamond和Dorothy回到奧本結(jié)束)”以及最后一段“Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism of the people move her to some beautiful writing.( Wickenden是個很好的講故事的人。大地的遼闊和人們的堅忍使她創(chuàng)作出了一些美麗的作品)”可知，本文簡要介紹了Wickenden的書籍內(nèi)容，并對其進(jìn)行了評價，所以文本是一篇書評。故選B項(xiàng)。

68．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段“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.(無人機(jī)已經(jīng)被用于檢查高壓電線。他們完全可以做同樣的事情來檢查鐵路線路和鐵路基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的其他重要方面，如鐵路軌道和換乘點(diǎn)的正確位置)”可推知，使用無人機(jī)檢查電力線使無人機(jī)應(yīng)用于鐵路線路成為可能。故選A。
69．詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后文“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. (據(jù)統(tǒng)計，僅歐洲鐵路公司每年在鐵路維護(hù)上的花費(fèi)就約為200億歐元，其中包括經(jīng)常在夜間派遣維修人員檢查和維修鐵路基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)”可知花在maintenance上的費(fèi)用是用于“inspect and repair the rail infrastructure （檢查和維修鐵路基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施”，由此可知“That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety”是指大幅節(jié)省檢修成本和更好地保護(hù)鐵路人員安全，畫線詞和 C項(xiàng)：Inspection and repair(檢修)含義相近。故選C。
70．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段 “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.(帶有先進(jìn)傳感器和人工智能的非常小的無人機(jī)可以像副駕駛一樣在火車前面行駛。憑借他們的預(yù)見能力，他們可以發(fā)出任何問題的信號，以便快速行駛的火車能夠及時做出反應(yīng))”可知，對于無人機(jī)期待的功能是提前發(fā)現(xiàn)問題。故選A。
71．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Can a small group of drones(無人機(jī))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 make sure that the millions of kilometers of rail tracks and infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)worldwide are safe for trains on a24/7 basis.(一小群無人機(jī)能否在保證鐵路安全可靠的同時，幫助鐵路運(yùn)營商每年節(jié)省數(shù)十億歐元？這很可能是應(yīng)用今天的“空中之眼”技術(shù)的未來，以確保全球數(shù)百萬公里的鐵路軌道和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施全天候安全運(yùn)行。)”以及后文第二段講到了使用無人機(jī)檢查電力線路使無人機(jī)應(yīng)用于鐵路線路成為可能;第三段講到了使用無人機(jī)大幅節(jié)省維護(hù)成本和更好地保護(hù)鐵路人員安全；第四段講到了通過使用最新的技術(shù)，無人機(jī)還可以開始為鐵路提供更高的價值，可知文章主要講述了無人機(jī)將如何改變鐵路的未來，所以D項(xiàng)“無人機(jī)將如何改變鐵路的未來?！狈衔恼轮行乃枷?，適合作為本文的最佳標(biāo)題。故選D。

73．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers so they can avoid paying the tax.(此前，制造商已經(jīng)降低了商店中銷售的超過一半的軟飲料的含糖量，以避免納稅)”可知，一些飲料公司通過降低了產(chǎn)品的含糖量來避稅。故選D項(xiàng)。
74．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中的“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.(然而，一些高糖品牌，如經(jīng)典可口可樂，已經(jīng)接受了糖稅，并拒絕改變，因?yàn)閾?dān)心會惹惱消費(fèi)者。果汁、以牛奶為原料的飲料和大多數(shù)酒精飲料是免稅的，每年生產(chǎn)不到100萬升的小公司也是免稅的)”可知，糖稅主要來自經(jīng)典可口可樂這些高糖品牌。故選D項(xiàng)。
75．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“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 and healthier eating in schools.(根據(jù)一位政府官員的說法，今天的數(shù)據(jù)顯示了糖稅的積極影響，它為學(xué)校的體育設(shè)施和健康飲食籌集了數(shù)百萬英鎊)”可知，糖稅政策帶來了積極影響。由此推知，糖稅政策的實(shí)施是一個成功的政策。故選B項(xiàng)。

83．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“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?”（當(dāng)你想到英國食物時，你會想到什么？你可能想到的是炸魚薯?xiàng)l，或是一肉兩菜的周日晚餐。但是，英國食物真的如此無趣嗎？）可知，提及英國食物，大家往往只是想到炸魚薯?xiàng)l和周日烤肉，所以人們通常會覺得英國食物平平無奇。故選A項(xiàng)。
84．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“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.”（正是由于電視上的這些大廚，而不是憑借廣告宣傳活動，英國人正在遠(yuǎn)離“一肉兩菜”和速食餐，而變得更加愿意探索新的烹飪習(xí)慣。）和“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”（似乎電視節(jié)目幫助改變了人們對烹飪的看法。）可知，英國的烹飪節(jié)目能夠改變英國人對烹飪的看法，嘗試從傳統(tǒng)的英式飲食走出來，嘗試新的烹飪習(xí)慣，由此推知英國的烹飪節(jié)目具有很大的影響力。故選D項(xiàng)。
85．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“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.”（幾乎三分之一的人表示他們現(xiàn)在使用的配料比以前更多，將近四分之一的人表示他們現(xiàn)在購買的配料質(zhì)量比以前更好。）可知，三分之一左右的人，也就是33%左右的人，使用的配料比以前更多。故選D項(xiàng)。

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。本文討論了僅僅依靠書面文本來講述世界歷史的局限性，并強(qiáng)調(diào)了將物品納入歷史敘事以更好地理解無文字社會的重要性。
87．主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things. (如果你想講述整個世界的歷史，一段不以人類某一部分為特權(quán)的歷史，你不能僅僅通過文本來講述，因?yàn)槭澜缟现挥幸徊糠秩嗽?jīng)有過文本，而世界上大多數(shù)人，在大多數(shù)時間里，都沒有。寫作是人類較晚的成就之一，直到最近，甚至許多有文字的社會也不僅用文字，而且用物件來記錄他們所關(guān)心的事情。)”可推知，第一段主要講述的是歷史應(yīng)該如何呈現(xiàn)給我們。故選A。
88．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段首句“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. (理想情況下，歷史應(yīng)該將文本和物品結(jié)合在一起，本書的某些章節(jié)能夠做到這一點(diǎn)，但在許多情況下，我們根本做不到。)”可推斷，作者認(rèn)為歷史應(yīng)該是文本和物品相結(jié)合的產(chǎn)物，但是很多情況下，我們做不到。再根據(jù)所舉例子的下文“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. (在英國方面，我們有科學(xué)報告和船長對那可怕的一天的記錄。從澳大利亞方面來看，我們只有一個木制盾牌，這是一名男子在第一次經(jīng)歷槍擊后在飛行中扔下的。)”可知，作者舉這個例子是為了說明船長的記錄是片面的，只從自己的角度描述了問題。故選D。
89．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞上文“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 (聯(lián)系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. (加勒比海的泰諾人、澳大利亞的土著人、貝寧的非洲人以及印加人，所有這些人都出現(xiàn)在這本書中，他們現(xiàn)在都可以通過他們制造的物品向我們講述他們過去最強(qiáng)大的成就：通過物品講述的歷史給了他們一個聲音。當(dāng)我們考慮諸如此類的有文化社會和無文化社會之間的接觸時，我們所有的第一手資料都必然是扭曲的，只有對話的一半。)”結(jié)合劃線句“If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects. (如果我們要找到對話的另一半，我們不僅要讀文本，還要讀物體。)”可知，我們對過去歷史的了解，只是書寫歷史的人所想要讓我們了解的歷史，如果我們想要了解歷史的另一半，我們不僅僅要讀文本也要讀對象。所以conversation指的是“歷史”。故選B。
90．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“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.(如果你想講述整個世界的歷史，一段不以人類某一部分為特權(quán)的歷史，你不能僅僅通過文本來講述，因?yàn)槭澜缟现挥幸徊糠秩说臍v史曾經(jīng)被文字記錄過，而世界上大多數(shù)人，在大多數(shù)時間里，都沒有。)”結(jié)合最后一段的“ If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects. (如果我們要找到對話的另一半，我們不僅要讀文本，還要讀物體。)”可知，本文講述僅僅依靠書面文本來講述世界歷史有局限性，想要更好的了解歷史就要將文本和物品結(jié)合在一起。從而推斷文章最有可能選自《100件物品中的世界史》。故選C。
