專題05 閱讀理解20篇

1．先看問題，再讀文章
做閱讀理解是先看問題，還是先看文章，這是很多同學(xué)經(jīng)常問的問題。我覺得這兩種方法各有利弊，應(yīng)視具體情況而定。就閱讀廣告而言，還是先看問題比較好，因為廣告類的試題絕大部分是尋找信息的題目，大可不必從頭讀到尾，帶著問題有針對性地去跳讀、略讀，這樣就可以節(jié)約不少時間。
2．抓住廣告的標題
如果廣告有標題，大標題下又有小標題，那么，快速尋找原文信息時，這些標題就成了很重要的線索，可以幫助我們快速準確地找到答案。有些題目考查的就是對廣告標題的理解。
3．逐項比較，得出最佳
做閱讀理解題，切不可憑主觀印象，想當然地確定答案。任何一道題目，均可以在原文中找到相關(guān)線索，這就如同破譯密碼一樣。做題人的思維過程和編題人的思維過程恰好相反，編題人先找好線索，然后設(shè)計問題和選項，解題人根據(jù)問題，再去文中找相關(guān)線索。因此，我們做題時要逐項比較，排除錯誤選項，得出最佳答案。
4.吃透文章文章大意和中心思想
任何一篇文章都會有一個主旨和中心。有時從文章的第一個段落，甚至第一個句子即可得出文章的主旨大意，從這一段或這個句子，我們就會知道文章描述的是什么（即文章的主題），也會了解作者希望讀者了解主題方面的哪些內(nèi)容。有時，文章的主旨要義則需從文章的字里行間去濃縮去推斷。這類試題主要考查考生略讀文章、領(lǐng)會駕馭大意的能力，它對考生的歸納、概括能力有一定的要求。
5.理解文中具體信息
文章主題和中心思想的闡述往往需要大量細節(jié)信息的支持，這些細節(jié)對于理解全文內(nèi)容至關(guān)重要，同時也是歸納和概括文章中心思想的基礎(chǔ)。命題人員往往會要求考生根據(jù)不同的要求，閱讀文章以獲得某些特定的信息或準確地尋求所需的細節(jié)。這類試題有時比較直接，理解字面意思即可答題；有時則較為間接，需要歸納、概括和推理才能答題。
6.根據(jù)上下文語境，準確推斷生詞的詞義
正確理解文章中單詞或短語的含義是理解文章的第一步，也是理解文章的基礎(chǔ)，不懂單詞含義根本就談不上理解文章。但英語單詞的含義并非完全等同于詞典中所標注的漢語意思，其含義隨不同的語境會有所不同。能根據(jù)上下文正確理解靈活變化的詞義，才算是真正初步具備了一定的閱讀理解能力。此外，閱讀文章時，常常會遇到一些過去未見過的詞，但許多這類生詞的詞義可以通過上下文推斷出來。這種不使用詞典而通過閱讀上下文來推斷生詞含義的能力，是一個合格的讀者所必須具備的能力，因此也是閱讀測試中經(jīng)常檢測的一種能力。
7.作出簡單判斷和推理
閱讀文章的主要目的是獲取信息，即作者所要傳達的信息。在實際的閱讀活動中，有時需要根據(jù)文章提供的事實和線索，進行邏輯推理，推測作者未提到的事實或某事發(fā)生的可能性等。
8.準確把握作者的意圖、觀點和態(tài)度
每篇文章都有一個特定的寫作目的，或是向讀者傳遞某個信息，或是愉悅讀者，或是講授某個道理。而這些信息通常并不是明確表達出來，而是隱含在文章之中。因此，這類問題要求考生在理解文章總體內(nèi)容的基礎(chǔ)上，去領(lǐng)會作者的言外之意。”
對英語閱讀能力的考查是英語高考的重中之重，除閱讀理解題外，其他各種題型從單項填空到書面表達尤其是完形填空和短文該錯都與我們的英語閱讀能力有密切的關(guān)系。難怪有的教師在分析高考英語試卷時得出這樣的結(jié)論“得閱讀者得天下”。

（2022·西藏拉薩·高一期末）The swan is a large, beautiful bird with a long neck, big white wings and wide feet. It is a great flyer because of its strong wings. It is also a good swimmer, swimming quickly and nicely through the water. But on dry land, it’s a different story—the swan’s heavy body and slow walk make it look a bit funny!
Swans live anywhere there is fresh water, like lakes and slow-moving rivers. They eat water plants and small fish. Swans are very territorial (地盤性的), which means that they protect their homes against any strangers. When swans want to look strong, they stand up tall, show their long necks and open their big wings while letting out big noises.
In spring, swans make a nest (巢) of tree leaves near the water. They often use the same nest year after year, repairing it when egg laying time comes round. The mother swan lays between five and eight eggs in the nest, and then sits on them to keep them warm and safe until about a month later, cygnets are born. Sometimes the father swan will take the first—born cygnets out onto the water while the mother stays to look after the other eggs. The cygnets are looked after by both parents, who will fight other animals, people or even boats if they think their cygnets are in danger!
1．To make them look strong, swans ________.
A．swim quickly B．stand on one leg
C．move their necks often D．open their wings
2．About swans’ nests, we know that ________.
A．they build their nests after spring B．they often use the same nest every year

3．After laying eggs, mother swans ________.
A．cover the eggs with tree leaves B．stay away and watch the eggs
C．stay to sit on top of the eggs D．have the father look after the eggs
4．The underline word “cygnets” in this passage means ________.
A．the swan nests B．the father swans
C．the baby swans D．the mother swans

（2022·甘肅蘭州·高一期末）Americans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.
The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (費) .
Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow- mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.
The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.
5．Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．Visitors will pay less than before.
B．The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors.
C．Visitors may not necessarily buy tickets ahead of time.
D．Only buses are allowed to enter the parks.
6．Entrance fees may be increased ________.
A．because the National Park Service are short of money
B．only for the development of the national parks
C．to protect the animals
D．mainly to limit the number of visitors
7．What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “l(fā)imited” in Paragraph 3?
A．Enlarged. B．Admitted. C．Controlled. D．Concerned.
8．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.
B．Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.
C．The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution.
D．National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible.

（2022·黑龍江·牡丹江市第二高級中學(xué)高一期末）The tradition of giving gifts didn’t start with the modern holidays we celebrate. Many ancient cultures celebrated holidays with the exchange of gifts. People who love to give gifts often can’t wait until it’s time for the recipients to open their gifts. If you’ve ever been given a gift, you know that part of the fun is the curiosity that builds as you wonder what the gift is.
The wish to hide the identity of a gift until just the right moment led people to wrap gifts long, long ago. Historians believed wrapping gifts in paper probably started not long after paper was invented thousands of years ago.
Wrapping paper like what we use today, though, is a much more recent invention. More than 100 years ago, gifts were usually wrapped in heavy brown paper. Before that, cloth was often used. The technology to mass-produce wrapping paper didn’t come along until the early 1900s. The first American gift wrap company— Hy-Sill Manufacturing Inc. — was founded by Eli Hyman and Morris Silverman in 1903. It wasn’t as easy to wrap presents back then as it is today, though, because adhesive tape (膠帶) wasn’t invented until 1930.
Over the years, wrapping paper has developed into what we see in stores each holiday season. But scientists say that the United States alone produces an extra 5 million tons of waste over the holidays, most of which is from wrapping paper and shopping bags. To cut down on this waste, some people carefully unwrap presents, so that the wrapping paper can be reused. Others have started to use reusable gift bags instead of wrapping paper.
9．What is the interesting part of people giving a gift?
A．Hiding their gifts and their feelings.
B．Giving the recipients a surprise.
C．Letting the recipients open gifts at once.
D．Following a century-old tradition.
10．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．People didn’t know wrapping paper until 1903.
B．Heavy brown paper has been used to wrap gifts for 100 years.
C．Technology made wrapping paper widely available.
D．Adhesive tape was first created by gift wrap companies.
11．What do scientists worry about?
A．The future of reusable gift bags.
B．The waste produced by Americans.
C．Wrapping paper’s influence on the environment.
D．People’s admiration for wrapping paper.
12．What does the text mainly tell us?
A．The popularity of wrapping gifts.
B．The start of wrapping gifts in paper.
C．The problems caused by wrapping paper.
D．The story behind wrapping paper.

（2022·黑龍江·牡丹江市第二高級中學(xué)高一期末）Last night at work, a girl came in and sat at the bar. She asked for a cup of water and a menu and eventually ordered a bacon cheeseburger which costs roughly $12 at my restaurant.
After eating for a few minutes, she asked me for a napkin (餐巾) and a pen. I saw her writing on the napkin but didn’t think anything of it. When I turned around, she was gone.

Life’s been good to me so far, and I think I will pass my luck on to someone else. Have a great night!”

Having just witnessed my mother completed her first 5-week cycle of chemo, I know the pain and exhaustion this young woman is feeling. On top of the chemo, she was selfless enough on her own birthday that she gave a stranger a gift.
This young woman has completely touched my soul and has affected my life in a way that I will never forget. I hope to see her again one day, so I can tell her how much her random act of kindness has touched me and finally changed my life.
Thank you for being such a beautiful person and I pray that you get well.

（2022·江蘇淮安·高一期末）Emma Rosen had one of the best and most sought-after jobs in the civil service in the UK. 20,000 candidates (候選人) applied, but fewer than 1,000 were offered jobs. But it turned out that she didn’t like sitting at a desk all day, and she struggled to see how what she was doing would make much difference to anything.

There were also plenty of more technical skills that I learned, like website design, social media management, building a commercial brand and conducting interviews.”
Emma added she also saw her softer people-focused skills improve. “I could be very adaptable, quickly build relationships and accept change—I could walk into a new team or situation and get on well with everyone.

（2022·江蘇淮安·高一期末）Who was it on the top floor?
The lamp lit up a man’s face. Pip didn’t recognize it, but the expression showed that its owner was pleased to see Pip.
Suddenly Pip knew who he was when he sat down in a chair near the fire! The convict in the churchyard years ago!
“You helped me, Pip,” said the man. “I have never forgotten it.”
Pip felt none for him, saying, “If you’ve come here to thank me, it isn’t necessary. You must understand... But you are tired. Would you like something to drink before you go?”
“Thank you. I know, you are no longer what you used to be. It doesn’t hurt to ask how you managed to live such a life as a gentleman.”
“I have a benefactor,” Pip replied, embarrassed.
“Could I guess your income?” said the convict, smiling. “Is the first figure five?”

（2022·新疆·兵團第一師高級中學(xué)高一期末）Floyd Norman, 81, was just 20 years old in 1956 when Walt Disney Studios employed him. He was the first African-American artist to be employed by the company. “It wasn’t something he set out to do as a goal,” Erik Sharkey said. Sharkey is a codirector of the documentary Floyd Norman: An Animated Life. “It sort of happened by his pursuing(追求) the thing that he loved.”
Norman’s first assignment was on Sleeping Beauty. He drew the characters positions that made them appear to move. A few years later, he helped bring the animated sequences(連續(xù)鏡頭)in Mary Poppins to life.
While at the studio, Norman liked to create gag(詼諧)drawings that he would post around the office. His coworkers, including Walt Disney, appreciated the humor. Disney assigned Norman a job on The Jungle Book. Norman drew the “Trust in Me sequence, in which Kaa, the snake, hypnotizes(迷惑)the boy, Mowgli. It was cool to be in that room with Walt - as long as he didn’t spot you. He might ask you a question,” Norman says in the documentary, “I thought he was always going to ask me: What are you doing here?”
In 1966, Norman left Disney to start Vignette Films with three friends. They made educational movies, including a series devoted to black history. But Norman never stopped drawing. He worked on Scooby-Doo, Jonny Quest, and Josie and the Pussycats. He also drew a Mickey Mouse comic strip(連環(huán)漫畫)for Disney. In 1997, he joined Pixar to work on Toy Story 2.
Today, Norman is back at Disney. where he is an inspiration to young artists. But he is not ready to call himself a pioneer. “I never saw myself as anything special,” Norman says. “I was just another artist looking for a job.”
25．How did Norman make history according to Sharkey?

（2022·新疆·兵團第一師高級中學(xué)高一期末）First of all, an advertisement has to be powerful and attract people’s attention. You need a strong image (形象) that is eye-catching, a catchy slogan, a joke or something shocking. In advertising we talk about the AIDA method. A is for attention. I is for interest. D is for desire (渴望). A is for action. An ad needs to do more than just get our attention. It also has to be effective. It must get us interested, make us want the product and motivate us to go out and buy it.
—Michael Hamilton, advertising executive
Advertising has changed over the years. Adverts are no longer just informative and focused on the product. Many of the adverts that we see today are short stories telling inspirational tales that are often amusing, humorous and highly-developed. People do not want to remember that life can be boring. They want to see something original and creative. The adverts take away the ordinariness of everyday life and take us to somewhere unusual or romantic (浪漫的).
—Miranda Hoyles, head of a US advertising agency
Many people talk about advertisements that are exciting and interesting. But for me, an immediately recognisable logo (標識) is really important. Good logos have been built up so they are recognisable. Part of what makes a good advert is a clear symbol that people immediately identify with the company. A good slogan also helps you make a connection. The real thing makes you think of Coca-Cola immediately. It’s also important to ensure that your slogan does not end up bothering(煩擾) everyone.
—Christie Peterson, illustrator
29．According to Michael Hamilton, a good advert should _______.
A．keep up with the times
B．excite people’s imagination
C．be attention-getting and persuasive
D．be product-centered and informative
30．What does Miranda Hoyles say about adverts today?
A．They reflect everyday life.
B．They are business-focused.
C．They are complex and boring.
D．They involve some excellent ideas.
31．Which of the following is Christie Peterson’s main concern about advertising?
A．Creative stories.
B．Public recognition.
C．The slogan and logo.
D．Special visual effects.

（2022·江西九江·高一期末）A tornado is a disaster; the death and damage it may leave behind is heartbreaking. And while the arrival of a hurricane is known in advance by days of warning, tornadoes strike suddenly. Those in the path of a tornado may have 15 minutes’ warning, if that. That makes safety measures for tornadoes important for survival.
What can you do to protect your family from something like that?
Before a storm
? If you live in an area where tornadoes often strike, consider building a safe room in your home or make a bedroom or bathroom strong enough.
? Pack an emergency preparedness kit (應(yīng)急箱) that will meet the needs of you and your family for three days. You should put food and water for three days, batteries, first-aid kit, local maps and toilet paper in an emergency preparedness kit. Other things to consider include sleeping bags or blankets, books, puzzles and games for children.
? Pay special attention to weather. Look for the following danger signs: dark, greenish sky, a large, dark cloud, loud noise.
Safety measures during a storm
? In a public building, go to a shelter area such as a safe room, basement or the lowest building level.
? If you’re in a mobile home, get out quickly and go to the lowest floor of a nearby building or a storm shelter.
? If caught in the open, lie down in a lower area and cover your head with your hands.
Safety measures after a storm
? Pay attention to the danger created by tornado damage such as broken glass and broken electrical wire (電線). These are all dangerous.

（2022·江西九江·高一期末）As the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 — 1827)
Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions. The last 30 years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 — 1750)
Bach, “the father of modem music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist (風(fēng)琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court (宮廷) organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.
Frederic Chopin (1810 — 1849)
Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.
Franz Schubert (1797 — 1828)
Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors (前輩), Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.
36．Where was Beethoven born?
A．In Vienna. B．In America. C．In Germany. D．In Poland.
37．Who is called “the father of modem music”?
A．Bach. B．Beethoven. C．Schubert. D．Chopin.

A．In 1707. B．In 1818. C．In 1810. D．In 1828.

（2021·遼寧沈陽·高一期末）A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions (慈善機構(gòu)、福利院)should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young .
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore , it is reasonable to expect that some combinations of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
39．What is the passage mainly about ?
A．The problem faced by the old in society
B．Why we should take responsibility for the old
C．How we can improve the lives of the old
D．Where the old can go to get their pensions
40．According to the passage , how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people ?
A．Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B．Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C．Increase the discounts(打折)for food and transport for the old.
D．Make available pensions for those who have retired.
41．The underlined word “viable” most probably means ________ .
A．impossible B．practical C．useful D．successful
42．What can be concluded from the passage ?
A．Taking care of the old is mainly an issue (問題) of the old.
B．Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.
C．Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.
D．There is no single solution to the problems of the old.

（2022·山東·泰安市基礎(chǔ)教育教學(xué)研究室高一期末）A man sat at a metro station in Washington D．C．a(chǎn)nd started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded（鼓掌）, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
43．Why did few people stop to listen to Joshua Bell playing?
A．People were in a hurry.
B．They were not interested in music.
C．It was too cold in the subway.
D．The performance was not good enough.
44．What did the parents do when children stopped to look at the violinist?

（2022·山東·泰安市基礎(chǔ)教育教學(xué)研究室高一期末）“The Manuscript Writing Cafe only allows in people who have a writing deadline to face!” owner Takuya Kawai tweeted. “It’s in order to maintain a level of focus and tense atmosphere at the cafe! Thank you for your understanding.”
The cafe, which only opened a few days ago, charges customers by time used, and is equipped with USB ports, computer stands, and free Wi-Fi. Struggling writers can also bring their own food and drinks, or have it delivered there since coffee and water are the only things that they can get, but it’s pretty strict when it comes to the actual writing.
When entering the cafe, customers must write down at the reception desk（前臺）how many words they plan to write and by what time they plan to finish. Every hour, a member of the staff will come by to check on their progress and apply a predetermined pressure level to help move things along.
For example, choosing the “S” level will have the cafe staff pushing you to get the work done more often, while the “M” level includes a more mild way.
However, the craziest rule of the Manuscript Writing Cafe is that writers are not allowed to end their work until reaching their goal or until the place closes down for the day, whichever comes first. It’s not clear how the cafe carries out this rule, but it is meant to keep customers from announcing high targets that they won’t be able to meet.
While some found it interesting, others said that it was too much pressure.
“If it were me, I would no longer be able to leave the store and would end up having to live there,” one person commented.

（2022·陜西·西安市第八十九中學(xué)高一期末）The icy waters surrounding Antarctica have long been called the Southern Ocean by scientists and the media. However, it never received the official recognition-until now. On June 8, 2021, the National Geographic Society announced that from now on, there would be five oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and the Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean was not just an extension of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. It had the unique characteristics required to deserve its own name.
Unlike the other oceans, whose boundaries (邊界) are defined by the surrounding continents, the extent of the Southern Ocean is determined by the Antarctic Circumpolar (ACC)—the Earth’s longest and strongest ocean current. The ACC was established 34 million years ago when Antarctic broke off from South America, enabling the water to freely flow around Earth’s southernmost tip. Its water is colder and less salty than the ocean waters to the south and provides a unique habitat for thousands of species. The ACC also significantly impacts Earth’s climate.
Alex Tait, a National Geographic Society geographer, says the recognition affects the Society’s desire to draw public attention to protecting the Southern Ocean’s unique ecosystem. “We’ve always labeled it, but labeled it slightly different from other oceans,” Tait explains.“This change is taking the last step and saying we want to recognize it because of its ecological separation,”
Tait believes the official recognition of the Southern Ocean will influence how children see the world.“I think one of the biggest impacts is through education,” he says.“Students get information about the ocean world through what ocean they’re studying. If they don’t include the Southern Ocean, they can’t Tearq the specifics of it and how important it is."
51．How did the Southern Ocean get its official recognition?
A．By being recorded in books.
B．By being given new official name.
C．By being regarded as one of the five oceans.
D．By being admitted by the international media
52．What does Alex Tait think of the Southern Ocean getting its new identity?,
A．It will cause great changes in the global ecosytemn.
B．It will greatly impact Earth’s climate.
C．It will help protect the species in Antaptica.
D．It will make the ocean better known.
53．What is the best title of the passage?
A．People now truly care about the oceans.
B．Earth now officially has five oceans.
C．The features of the Southern Ocean.
D．The impact of the Southern Ocean.

（2022·陜西·西安市第八十九中學(xué)高一期末）From classic books like A Wrinkle in Time to classic movies like Back to the Future, children and adults both have been fascinated by the concept of time travel for hundreds of years. But is it even possible?
Time travel sounds simple: you just move back and forth between different points in time like you would between diffierent points in space. You could jump forward into the future, or you can jump back to sometime in the past.
Exactly how would this be done? Most artistic works that feature time travel finish it with the help of a special device usually called a time machine. The time machine features whatever technology has been developed to transport people successfully to other points in time.
But could time travel really happen? Some scientists believe that parts of Albert Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity might allow for the possibility of time travel. These theories are complex and very hard to understand. They involve unusual astronomical things like black holes and wormholes. Traveling faster than the speed of light might also be required.
It can be fun, though, to think about what problems might be presented by time travel. It may create an absurd situation. For example, let’s say that you travel back in time to the day your parents met. What if your showing up on the day your parents met caused a ripple (連鎖反應(yīng)) in time that led to them not meeting? If they had never met, you would never have been born. If you had never been born, how could you ever exist to travel back in time to cause the problem you just caused? Though it may sound confusing, we hope that any scientist who ever manages to make time travel possible works out these problems in advance.
54．What kind of film is Back to the Future most likely to be?
A．An action film. B．A fantasy film C．A historical film D．A romantic film
55．What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 2?
A．Add a topic.
B．Give an example.
C．Explain a concept.
D．Make a conclusion.
56．What is some scientists’ judgment on the possibility of time travel based on?
A．Previous similar cases.
B．Accurate scientific research.
C．Some scientific theories.
D．Advanced space technology.
57．What does the author think of time travel?
A．It will certainly come true one day.
B．It is an possible and absurd idea.
C．It will change some historical events.
D．It may cause confusion with time and space.

（2022·全國·高一期末）Daylight saving is a seasonal time change, which is used in about 70 countries around the world, including most of Europe and the UK. It is designed to create an extra hour of daylight for people to enjoy at the end of the day during the warmer months. So our clocks are moved forward at the start of daylight saving. This means that while our clocks might show 8 p.m. during daylight saving, we are actually enjoying a 7 p.m. level of daylight. So we effectively have an extra hour of light at the end of the day — to go for a walk with our family, play outside with our friends and not have to turn on the electric lights at home. Digital devices like mobile phones, tablets and computers automatically (自動地) change, while items like clocks and some watches need to be changed by hand.
George Vernon Hudson, an insect expert from New Zealand, came up with the idea of daylight saving in 1895. He suggested shifting (轉(zhuǎn)移) the time by two hours, but his idea didn’t catch on. Seven years later, a British builder called William Willett took the idea to England’s government as a way to prevent the nation from wasting daylight. His suggestion got some high support but was refused by the British government.
Then in 1916, two years into World War I, the German government started looking for ways to save energy. “They remembered Willett’s idea of moving the clock forward and thus having more daylight during working hours,” David Prerau, author of Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time told National Geographic. “While the British were talking about it year after year, the Germans decided to do it more or less by an official order.”
England and almost every other country that fought in World War I soon followed suit. In those days, coal was the main source of energy people used in their homes. Needing energy in homes for one less hour a day during daylight saving meant more coal could be used in the war effort.
58．What will happen to our clocks when daylight saving begins?
A．They will stop for one hour. B．They will be an hour fast.
C．They will break and need repair. D．They will move backward automatically.
59．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．When England started daylight saving. B．Why daylight saving time was created.
C．What benefit daylight saving brought. D．Who came up with the idea of daylight saving.
60．What can we learn about David Prerau?
A．He disagreed with Willett’s idea.
B．He wrote a book about daylight saving.
C．He was a reporter of the magazine National Geographic.
D．He persuaded the government to practice daylight saving.
61．Why did the German government decide to use daylight saving?
A．To put more energy into the war. B．To follow the lifestyle in England.
C．To make people enjoy more daylight time. D．To produce more goods and services.

（2022·湖南·寧鄉(xiāng)市教育研究中心高一期末）On the evening of April 8, Dunhuang Academy and Huawei jointly launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes. Using Huawei’s newly-released (發(fā)行) Hetu artificial intelligence platform, coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Grottoes can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.
Zhao Shengliang, director of the Dunhuang Academy, said that it has been cooperating with Huawei since March 2019. Using Huawei’s latest Hetu technology, visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang Art Murals (壁畫) outside the caves, through their Huawei mobile phones. This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the cave, aiding the protection of the cultural relics, while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can obtain. It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang Art.
The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research and exploration of Dunhuang Grottoes since the early 1990s. It has collected a wealth of data and has realized the goal of sharing of digital Dunhuang globally. It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.
The Huawei Hetu platform unites Dunhuang’s study findings, high-resolution images of the site’s murals and virtual, three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Grottoes. It has not only re-created the real tour of the scenic spot, but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the grottoes. When people visit the site, they not only have the experience of seeing the real grottoes, but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.
In the future, Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with Huawei to create more colorful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao Art on the platform, helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang Art better.

（2022·江蘇蘇州·高一期末）Cuckoos (布谷鳥) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don’t spend the energy building a nest (鳥巢), protecting eggs or feeding children. Instead the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don’t raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.
To succeed in doing this, a female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove one of the host’s eggs to make room for her own.
Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch (孵化) and begin to grow in a host’s nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker. Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents, but still continues to receive food from them.
The cuckoo imposter (冒名頂替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then, the non-biological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.
Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts’. This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds’ attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.
66．What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young?
A．Attend to eggs. B．Build a new nest. C．Rely on other birds. D．Learn feeding skills.
67．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Other cuckoos. B．Baby cuckoos. C．Its host parents. D．Its birth parents.
68．What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter?
A．It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest.
B．It throws all the other eggs out of nests with its mother’s help.
C．It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest.
D．It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching.
69．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．How cuckoos fool other birds B．How cuckoos protect their children
C．How cuckoos destroy others’ nests D．How cuckoos produce eggs in host nests

（2022·福建福州·高一期末）The plot of the story of “The Million Pound Bank Note” centers on the impossibility of encashing (兌現(xiàn)) a high valued bank note by a common man. Within this story it is narrated (敘述) that only two such notes were ever issued and anyone who walks into a bank to cash that note will get himself in trouble. So, do such million pound bank notes really exist? Let’s do a bit of digging around for the purpose of satisfying the curiosity over this question.
Such high valued pound bank notes do exist, and they were usually used for transactions (交易) within banks. The Bank of England used “one million” and “hundred million” pound bank notes to keep parity (等價) with bank notes issued by Scottish and Northern Irish banks. These notes — the one million ones were called “giants” and came in A5 size and the hundred million ones were called “titans” having an A4 size — were more like IOU documents (legal forms that describe a loan between a lender and a borrower) and they were special issues from the Bank of England to meet the requirement of backing the value of everyday notes issued by banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Nine such one million pound notes were issued in connection with the Marshall Plan (the US’s post-war aid program to Western Europe), equal to the loan from the US after World War II (WWII) in 1948. After cancellation (取消), of these nine only seven were destroyed and two survived with private collectors. Such high valued notes are not usually found in the normal transactional scenes and it is believed that notes worth eight billion pounds were printed in these heavy denominations (面額) in total.
Mark Twain can create humor from narrations of unrealistic (不現(xiàn)實的) and often funny simple situations and “The Million Pound Bank Note” is a nice example of his storytelling abilities.
70．Why does the author mention “The Million Pound Bank Note” in paragraph 1?
A．To bring up the topic. B．To question the readers.
C．To retell the famous story. D．To support the topic.
71．What can we learn about “giants” and “titans”?
A．They were the same size. B．They were sold?at?a?discount.
C．They were issued by banks in Scotland. D．They were mainly used within banks.
72．What do we know about the nine 1948 one million pound notes?
A．Seven of them were destroyed in WWII.
B．Two of them became private collections.
C．All are worth eight billion pounds now.
D．All were used by the public at that time.
73．What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?
A．To show Mark Twain’s humor.
B．To praise Mark Twain and his work.
C．To introduce “The Million Pound Bank Note”.
D．To uncover Mark Twain’s attitude towards society.

(我這輩子還從沒被陌生人這么感動過。大約3個月前，我的母親被診斷出肺癌，所以這件事hit very close to home.。)”可知，首先，作者從未如此被陌生人感動過。其次，作者因為女孩的行為想到了自己的母親也正經(jīng)歷病痛，所以觸動很大。由此可推知劃線短語為“對作者觸動很大”。故選C。
16．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二句“I hope to see her again one day, so I can tell her how much her random act of kindness has touched me and finally changed my life. (我希望有一天能再見到她，這樣我就可以告訴她，她隨意的善舉是如何打動了我，并最終改變了我的生活。)”可知，作者因為女孩的隨意善舉生活有了變化，由此可知，作者想再次見到女孩時告訴她，她對作者產(chǎn)生的影響。故選B。

52．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Tait believes the official recognition of the Southern Ocean will influence how children see the world. “I think one of the biggest impacts is through education,” he says. “Students get information about the ocean world through what ocean they’re studying.

54．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“From classic books like A Wrinkle in Time to classic movies like Back to the Future, children and adults both have been fascinated by the concept of time travel for hundreds of years. But is it even possible?”（從《時間的皺紋》這樣的經(jīng)典書籍到《回到未來》這樣的經(jīng)典電影，數(shù)百年來，兒童和成人都對時間旅行的概念著迷。但這有可能嗎？）可知，無論是書籍《時間的皺紋》，還是電影《回到未來》內(nèi)容都是關(guān)系時間旅行的，這一類的書籍或者電影屬于科幻類。故選B項。
55．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段“Time travel sounds simple: you just move back and forth between different points in time like you would between different points in space. You could jump forward into the future, or you can jump back to sometime in the past.”（時間旅行聽起來很簡單：你只是在不同的時間點之間來回移動，就像你在不同的空間點之間移動一樣。你可以跳到未來，也可以跳到過去的某個時刻）可知，本段是對時間旅行這個概念的解釋。故選C項。

57．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“It can be fun, though, to think about what problems might be presented by time travel. It may create an absurd situation. For example, let’s say that you travel back in time to the day your parents met. What if your showing up on the day your parents met caused a ripple (連鎖反應(yīng)) in time that led to them not meeting? If they had never met, you would never have been born. If you had never been born, how could you ever exist to travel back in time to cause the problem you just caused? Though it may sound confusing, we hope that any scientist who ever manages to make time travel possible works out these problems in advance.”（不過，想想時間旅行可能會帶來什么問題也會很有趣。這可能會造成一種荒謬的局面。例如，假設(shè)你穿越回你父母相遇的那天。如果你在父母見面的那天出現(xiàn)，在時間上引發(fā)了漣漪，導(dǎo)致他們沒有見面怎么辦?如果他們沒有相遇，你就不會出生。如果你從未出生，你怎么可能存在回到過去造成你剛剛造成的問題?雖然這聽起來可能令人困惑，但我們希望任何曾經(jīng)使時間旅行成為可能的科學(xué)家都能提前解決這些問題）故可推知，作者認為時間旅行可能會造成時間和空間的混淆。故選D項。

Seven years later, a British builder called William Willett took the idea to England’s government as a way to prevent the nation from wasting daylight. His suggestion got some high support but was refused by the British government.(來自新西蘭的昆蟲專家喬治·弗農(nóng)·哈德森在1895年提出了夏令時的想法。他建議把時間改兩個小時，但他的想法沒有被接受。七年后，一位名叫威廉·威利特的英國建筑商把這個想法告訴了英國政府，作為一種防止國家浪費日光的方法。他的建議得到了很高的支持，但被英國政府拒絕了)”可推知，第二段主要講的是是誰想出了夏令時的主意。故選D項。

63．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞下文“It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.(它在文化遺址的保護和研究，以及促進相關(guān)工作的發(fā)展和進展方面發(fā)揮了重要作用)”和劃線句“The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research and exploration of Dunhuang Grottoes since the early 1990s.(從20世紀90年代初開始，敦煌研究院就使用數(shù)字技術(shù)來perserve對敦煌石窟的研究和探索)”可推斷，數(shù)字技術(shù)的應(yīng)用是為了保護對敦煌石窟的研究和探索。preserve與protect意思相近。故選A。
64．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“In the future, Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with Huawei to create more colorful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao Art on the platform, helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang Art better.(未來，敦煌學(xué)院將繼續(xù)與華為合作，創(chuàng)造更加豐富多彩的虛擬內(nèi)容，豐富莫高窟藝術(shù)在平臺上的體驗，幫助世界各地的人們更好地了解敦煌藝術(shù))”可推知，對于敦煌與華為的合作，作者的態(tài)度是充滿希望的。故選C。
65．主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“On the evening of April 8, Dunhuang Academy and Huawei jointly launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes. Using Huawei’s newly-released (發(fā)行) Hetu artificial intelligence platform, coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Grottoes can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction. ( 4月8日晚，敦煌研究院與華為聯(lián)合推出了一項全新的技術(shù)驅(qū)動的莫高窟旅游體驗。利用華為新發(fā)布的“河圖”人工智能平臺，加上數(shù)字敦煌項目的輸出，游客可以在進入莫高窟前享受一種夢幻體驗)”結(jié)合文章還介紹了這項技術(shù)的一些優(yōu)勢，以及數(shù)字技術(shù)的應(yīng)用對于敦煌石窟文化保護和研究發(fā)揮的重要作用，最后提到敦煌學(xué)院將繼續(xù)與華為合作，創(chuàng)造更加豐富多彩的虛擬內(nèi)容，豐富莫高窟藝術(shù)在平臺上的體驗，幫助世界各地的人們更好地了解敦煌藝術(shù)。即文章主要講述人工智能科技幫助游客欣賞敦煌藝術(shù)。故選D。

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了布谷鳥鳥自己不會筑巢，所以總是將自己的蛋產(chǎn)在其他鳥類的巢里，從而讓其他鳥類為自己孵化幼鳥。
66．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Instead the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don’t raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.(相反，雌性把這些角色傳遞給其他鳥。它們不撫養(yǎng)自己的孩子。通常，它們把蛋下在別的鳥的巢里，讓別的鳥以為布谷鳥蛋是它們的。)”可知，在孵化幼鳥的時候，布谷鳥總是依賴其他鳥類。故選C。
67．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線前半句“Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents,(通常情況下，布谷鳥的體型是養(yǎng)父母的兩倍)”可知，雖然和親鳥差別很大，但布谷鳥有鳥仍能從養(yǎng)父母那里獲得食物。所以劃線單詞them指的是“養(yǎng)父母”。故選C。
68．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“The cuckoo imposter (冒名頂替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest.(冒充布谷鳥的雛鳥通常是宿主父母需要照顧的唯一雛鳥。這是因為當布谷鳥在11天后孵化時，它會把巢中所有其他的蛋都扔掉。它會把每個蛋背在背上，然后把它們一個一個地扔出巢穴的邊緣。)”可知，當布谷鳥孵化出來的時候，其他蛋還處于孵化狀態(tài)。因此可推斷，布谷鳥比鳥巢中其他鳥類孵化的要早。故選A。
69．主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Cuckoos (布谷鳥) are masters of cheating.(布谷鳥是欺騙的大師。)”以及文章主要內(nèi)容可知，文章主要介紹了布谷鳥是如何欺騙其他鳥類為其孵化幼鳥的。所以“How cuckoos fool other birds(布谷鳥是如何欺騙其他鳥類的)”作為文章標題最為合適。故選A。

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了現(xiàn)實中真實存在百萬英鎊這樣大面值的巨額鈔票。
70．推理判斷題。作者在首段先描述了《百萬英鎊》的故事梗概，接著提出疑問“So, do such million pound bank notes really exist?(那么，這樣的百萬英鎊鈔票真的存在嗎?)”，并在第二和第三段對這一提問進行了解釋。所以作者在第一段提及《百萬英鎊》就是要引出本文所探討的話題——現(xiàn)實生活中是否真實存在面值百萬英鎊的鈔票。故選A。
71．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，giants和titans分別指的是面值一百萬英鎊和一億英鎊的巨額鈔票，它們的規(guī)格大小不同，但均由英格蘭銀行發(fā)行。并根據(jù)第二段中的“Such high valued pound bank notes do exist, and they were usually used for transactions (交易) within banks.(這種高價值的英鎊紙幣確實存在，它們通常用于銀行內(nèi)部的交易。)”和第三段中的“Such high valued notes are not usually found in the normal transactional scenes(這種高價值的票據(jù)通常不會出現(xiàn)在正常的交易場景中)”可知，這兩種類型的鈔票一般只在銀行內(nèi)部進行交易。故選D。
72．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“After cancellation (取消), of these nine only seven were destroyed and two survived with private collectors.(在被取消之后，這九中中只有七張被毀，兩張被私人收藏家保存了下來。)”可知，1948年的9張百萬英鎊中其中兩張被私人收藏家收藏。故選B。
73．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Mark Twain can create humor from narrations of unrealistic (不現(xiàn)實的) and often funny simple situations and “The Million Pound Bank Note” is a nice example of his storytelling abilities.(馬克·吐溫可以通過對不現(xiàn)實的、常常是有趣的簡單情景的敘述來創(chuàng)造幽默，《百萬英鎊》就是他講故事能力的一個很好的例子。)”及全文可知，作者通過首尾呼應(yīng)的方式，以簡述小說《百萬英鎊》的情節(jié)開始，再以評價《百萬英鎊》展示了馬克·吐溫精彩的幽默敘事能力為結(jié)尾，既向讀者介紹了現(xiàn)實生活中真實存在面值百萬英鎊的鈔票，又稱贊了馬克·吐溫的敘事能力及其小說《百萬英鎊》的成功。故選B。
74．C????75．A????76．A

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。雖然茶起源于亞洲，但如今世界上許多國家的飲食文化和傳統(tǒng)中都融入了茶的元素。文章主要介紹了中國、日本、英國和摩洛哥的茶文化。
74．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.(這是茶的一個非常特殊的部分，因為它通過不同的方式和儀式將世界各地的人們聯(lián)系在一起，最終使一群人坐在一起，享受一杯茶。)”可知，茶能融入各種飲食文化，是因為它使人們很容易地聯(lián)系在一起。故選C。
75．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Chinese tea culture中的“Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition.(由于中國被視為茶的誕生地，所以中國茶文化具有豐富的歷史和傳統(tǒng)也就不足為奇了。)”以及Japanese tea culture中的“Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in western culture.(日本的茶也有悠久的歷史，尤其是日本抹茶，這是一種研磨的綠茶，日本茶道中普遍使用，直到近幾年才在西方文化中流行起來。)”可知，中國和日本的茶文化共同點在于它們有很長的歷史。故選A。
76．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)British tea culture中的“A hot cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day.(下午，一杯熱騰騰的英式早餐或格雷伯爵茶，配上一點牛奶和一塊餅干，可以作為一天的提神劑。)”可知，英國人喜歡下午喝茶是因為人們可以從中獲得新能量。故選A。
