In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before:he couldn’t find the park’s volcano.It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature—that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features.But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone (圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro,which are created when erupting magma (岩浆)piles up.These can form remarkably quickly.In 1943,a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high.Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across.Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,all but a few hundred of them extinct.There is,however,a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building.These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack,leaving behind a vast hole,the caldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this second type,but Christiansen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers.As soon as Christiansen saw the photos,he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera:almost the whole park—2.2 million acres—was caldera.The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level.At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
真题再做
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在黄石公园探寻火山的故事。
58.What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone
A.Its complicated geographical features.
B.Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
C.The mysterious history of the park.
D.The exact location of the volcano.
答案　D　[细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.”可知,他困惑的是到处都看不到火山,故选D项。]
59.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A.The shapes of volcanoes.
B.The impacts of volcanoes.
C.The activities of volcanoes.
D.The heights of volcanoes.
答案　A　[段落大意题。本段讲述了两种形状的火山,一种是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥体,还有一种极具爆发力、有巨大洞口的火山,即列举了两种火山形态,故选A项。]
60.What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean
A.Hot-air balloon. B.Digital camera.
C.Big photograph. D.Bird’s view.
答案　C　[词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“NASA decided to...by taking paragraphs of Yellowstone”和第三段中的“As soon as Christiansen saw...—2.2 million acres—was caldera.”可知,NASA拍摄了黄石国家公园的照片,因此Christiansen能在照片上看到公园的全景。由此可推知,blow-up意为“放大的照片”,故选C项。]

语境法解题
根据第三段前两句“Just at this time NASA decided...a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers.”可知,美国国家航空航天局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。一位考虑周到的官员把其中一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门,他认为这些照片可以被放大以供游客中心展示。故可知,此处意为将照片放大,选C。

Para.1:volcanic adj.火山的;steamy adj.蒸汽的;Para.2:remarkably adv.显著地;extinct adj.灭绝的;explosive adj.爆炸性的;Para.3:altitude n.高度;thoughtful adj.周到的;scale n.规模 Para.1:account for解释,说明;Para.2:pile up堆积; a second type第二种类型;leave behind留下; Para.3:pass on传递;as soon as一……就……; at some time in the past在过去某个时候;far beyond远超
析 长 难 语 句 Para.2:These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack,leaving behind a vast hole,the caldera. [句式分析]　该句子中they burst open in a single big crack为so...that...引导的结果状语从句;leaving behind a vast hole为现在分词短语作结果状语;the caldera作a vast hole的同位语。 [尝试翻译]　这些火山爆炸性极强,会在一个大裂缝中猛然爆发,留下一个巨大的洞,即火山口。 [语言赏析]　句中so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack描述了火山的爆发力,让读者感受到火山爆发的震撼。这句话使用了so...that...结构强化了火山爆发的程度,动词和形容词的精准运用使句子富有表现力。

(2025·贵阳一中高三模拟)
Leo and Alex were close friends.They had been friends since childhood,sharing countless memories,and growing up side by side.They were as close as siblings,sharing countless happy moments and supporting each other through thick and thin.However,one fateful day,a misunderstanding tore them apart,leaving their friendship in shreds.
Leo was a die-hard fan of the local football team,the Metropolis Eagles,while Alex was passionate about the city’s rival team,the Metrostars.Their differing loyalties often led to lively debates and friendly jokes,but it never affected their friendship.Until one fateful game day.
The Metropolis Eagles were playing against the Metrostars,and Leo and Alex were both determined to watch the game together.However,when the game got intense and the score was tied,Leo’s and Alex’s passions boiled over.Leo accused Alex of favoring the other team,while Alex felt Leo was being unreasonably stubborn.The argument escalated (升级) quickly,and words were exchanged that neither of them would soon forget.“You’ve gone too far.I don’t want to see you again,” thundered Leo.Both friends were left feeling hurt and disappointed.
The next day,there were heated discussions about the game,but Leo and Alex avoided each other like the plague (瘟疫).Leo deeply regretted what he had said and wanted to apologize,but pride got in the way.Weeks passed,and the silence between them grew deafening.
One day,while walking home from school,Leo came across a lost dog.He couldn’t help but notice the collar around the dog’s neck,with a tag that read “Alex’s Best Friend”.Leo realized this dog was Alex’s.

At that moment,Leo was in a difficult position.He knew that the dog meant so much to Alex.“I should return it to Alex,” he thought.But the argument between them had been intense,and their offensive words had nearly destroyed their friendship.Should he return the dog and face the possibility of another argument Leo began to hesitate.After thinking over,Leo found himself actually missing the laughter and companionship of Alex.Without hesitation any more,Leo decided to do what he thought was best.He took the dog back to Alex’s house.
With a deep breath,Leo knocked on Alex’s door.When Alex opened it,he was surprised to see Leo standing there with his dog.Handing over the dog,Leo explained what happened,embarrassment written on his red face.“Thank you for returning my dog,Leo,” Alex said gratefully.“And,I am really sorry for what I did.” Leo,tears in his eyes,hugged Alex tightly and admitted his own fault.At that moment,Leo and Alex rekindled their friendship,stronger than before.They realized that misunderstandings and arguments are inevitable,but it’s how they handle them that matters.(共119张PPT)

They walked the short distance to Lena’s home and rang the doorbell.The moment Lena opened the door,she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her.Although their faces showed signs of age,the two best friends recognized each other immediately.Both of them were in tears,hugging each other tightly.Time seemed to cease to witness the great moment.The two of them talked for a long time afterwards, recalling about their past events.
Part Ⅱ　高考同源研探
(江苏高考阅读B)
In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before:he couldn’t find the park’s volcano.It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature—that’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features.But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone (圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro,which are created when erupting magma (岩浆)piles up.These can form remarkably quickly.In 1943,a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high.Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,
all but a few hundred of them extinct.There is,however,a second less known type of volcano that doesn’t involve mountain building.These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack,leaving behind a vast hole,the caldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this second type,but Christiansen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers.As soon as Christiansen saw the photos,he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera:almost the whole park—2.2 million acres—was caldera.The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level.At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
真题再做
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在黄石公园探寻火山的故事。
58.What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone
A.Its complicated geographical features.
B.Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
C.The mysterious history of the park.
D.The exact location of the volcano.
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.”可知,他困惑的是到处都看不到火山,故选D项。
√
59.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A.The shapes of volcanoes. B.The impacts of volcanoes.
C.The activities of volcanoes. D.The heights of volcanoes.
解析　段落大意题。本段讲述了两种形状的火山,一种是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥体,还有一种极具爆发力、有巨大洞口的火山,即列举了两种火山形态,故选A项。
√
60.What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean
A.Hot-air balloon. B.Digital camera.
C.Big photograph. D.Bird’s view.
解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“NASA decided to...by taking paragraphs of Yellowstone”和第三段中的“As soon as Christiansen saw...—2.2 million acres—was caldera.”可知,NASA拍摄了黄石国家公园的照片,因此Christiansen能在照片上看到公园的全景。由此可推知,blow-up意为“放大的照片”,故选C项。

根据第三段前两句“Just at this time NASA decided...a nice blow-up for one of the visitors’ centers.”可知,美国国家航空航天局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。一位考虑周到的官员把其中一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门,他认为这些照片可以被放大以供游客中心展示。故可知,此处意为将照片放大,选C。

析长难语句
Para.2:These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack,leaving behind a vast hole,the caldera.
[句式分析]　该句子中they burst open in a single big crack为so...that...引导的结果状语从句;leaving behind a vast hole为现在分词短语作结果状语;the caldera作a vast hole的同位语。
[尝试翻译]　
这些火山爆炸性极强,会在一个大裂缝中猛然爆发,留下一个巨大的洞,即火山口。
[语言赏析]　句中so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack描述了火山的爆发力,让读者感受到火山爆发的震撼。这句话使用了so...that...结构强化了火山爆发的程度,动词和形容词的精准运用使句子富有表现力。

(2025·贵阳一中高三模拟)
Leo and Alex were close friends.They had been friends since childhood,sharing countless memories,and growing up side by side.They were as close as siblings,sharing countless happy moments and supporting each other through thick and thin.However,one fateful day,a misunderstanding tore them apart,leaving their friendship in shreds.
Leo was a die-hard fan of the local football team,the Metropolis Eagles,while Alex was passionate about the city’s rival team,the Metrostars.Their differing loyalties often led to lively debates and friendly jokes,but it never affected their friendship.Until one fateful game day.
The Metropolis Eagles were playing against the Metrostars,and Leo and Alex were both determined to watch the game together. However,when the game got intense and the score was tied,Leo’s and Alex’s passions boiled over.Leo accused Alex of favoring the other team,while Alex felt Leo was being unreasonably stubborn.The argument escalated (升级) quickly,and words were exchanged that neither of them would soon forget.“You’ve gone too far.I don’t want to see you again,” thundered Leo.Both friends were left feeling hurt and disappointed.
The next day,there were heated discussions about the game,but Leo and Alex avoided each other like the plague (瘟疫).Leo deeply regretted what he had said and wanted to apologize,but pride got in the way.Weeks passed,and the silence between them grew deafening.
One day,while walking home from school,Leo came across a lost dog.He couldn’t help but notice the collar around the dog’s neck,with a tag that read “Alex’s Best Friend”.Leo realized this dog was Alex’s.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

【参考范文】
At that moment,Leo was in a difficult position.He knew that the dog meant so much to Alex.“I should return it to Alex,” he thought. But the argument between them had been intense,and their offensive words had nearly destroyed their friendship.Should he return the dog and face the possibility of another argument Leo began to hesitate. After thinking over,Leo found himself actually missing the laughter and companionship of Alex.Without hesitation any more,Leo decided to do what he thought was best.He took the dog back to Alex’s house.
With a deep breath,Leo knocked on Alex’s door.When Alex opened it,he was surprised to see Leo standing there with his dog. Handing over the dog,Leo explained what happened,embarrassment written on his red face.“Thank you for returning my dog,Leo,” Alex said gratefully.“And,I am really sorry for what I did.” Leo,tears in his eyes,hugged Alex tightly and admitted his own fault.At that moment,Leo and Alex rekindled their friendship,stronger than before. They realized that misunderstandings and arguments are inevitable, but it’s how they handle them that matters.
