　　（2024·厦门高一下质检）When Brad Ryan was young， he used to spend a good time with his grandma Joy.Ryan says，“I remember sleepovers at her house when she would teach me to make cookies.”
　　The two became distant when Ryan’s parents divorced， but then ran into each other 10 years later.Realising how much he liked his grandmother and missed that lost time， he made a plan to spend time with her.
　　About eight years ago， Ryan was telling Joy about his 2009 hike and many adventures living in the wilderness.“Her eyes softened and then she matter-of-factly said， ‘I regret that I didn’t get to see more things in life.It would have been nice to see the mountains，’” Ryan recalls.“My heart broke for her.”
　　It wasn’t until a few years later that the two took a trip to the Great Smoke Mountains.After a stressful work schedule， Ryan needed an escape to nature.So he invited his grandma to travel with him.They arrived late at night in the rain with Joy holding the umbrella while Ryan set up the tent.At 85， she had never slept in a tent before， but she climbed 2.3 miles on a trail， receiving high-fives all the way.
　　“It was a life-changing trip that provided more purpose than anything I had ever done，” Ryan said.“Two years later I set up a GoFundMe called Grandma Joy’s Road Trip in the spirit of making up for lost time and proving that you’re never too old to pack in a lifetime of adventure and travel.”
　　In the past four years， they’ve travelled more than 25，000 miles across 38 states.So far， they’ve visited 29 of the 61 US national parks， with much of the adventure documented on Instagram.
　　“You never know what’s going to come out of her mouth， and it’s usually interesting.I wouldn’t want to travel the country with anyone else at this point.Of course we get tired and have our angry moments.There have been difficult moments that we had to work through， but finally we get to where we need to be.” Ryan says.
4.Why does Ryan set up Grandma Joy’s Road Trip on Instagram？（　　）
A.To make up for 10-year lost time.
B.To encourage others to travel a lot.
C.To show his love for his grandma.
D.To remember their unforgettable trip.
5.Which of the following can best describe Grandma Joy？（　　）
A.Honest and strict.
B.Determined and sincere.
C.Patient and cautious.
D.Adventurous and humorous.
6.What happened during Ryan and his grandma’s trip？（　　）
A.They got injured sometimes.
B.They made many new friends.
C.They overcame lots of difficulties.
D.They never got annoyed with each other.
7.What’s the best title for the passage？（　　）
A.Brad Ryan Likes Road Trips
B.A Boy Travels with His Grandma
C.A Good and Adventurous Boy
D.Memorable Moments in Ryan’s Life
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Different Cultures
　　（2024·日照高一下月考）The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.8.（　　）
　　The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries：China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.9.（　　）
　　When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture， another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain — the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.10.（　　） Like the Chinese culture， the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America， their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.
　　11.（　　） Take the language system for example.In the East， most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference count as well.But what’s more， due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West， the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference （干扰） from the other.
　　The differences are everywhere.12.（　　） But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colourful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A.Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures.
B.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C.And these two are well known as the base of the European culture.
D.At the same time， some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
F.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
G.They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.

4.A　细节理解题。根据第五段中的Two years later I set up a GoFundMe called Grandma Joy’s Road Trip in the spirit of making up for lost time and proving that you’re never too old to pack in a lifetime of adventure and travel.可知，Ryan在Instagram创立Grandma Joy’s Road Trip是为了弥补失去的十年的时间。

W：I tried to phone you yesterday.
M：Oh， sorry.I was busy all day and then I went to London in the evening for a meal with some friends.
W：Did you take your car？
M：I left it at home.Parking is such a problem.But the underground was closed for repairs so I had to take the bus.It was quite slow.
W：Did you go to your favourite Spanish restaurant？
M：I was hoping to try some Mexican food but my friends booked a table in a Chinese place.
W：Was it expensive？
M：Quite cheap actually， and the food was very good — but it’s only a small restaurant so a lot of people had to wait for tables — and it was quite noisy.
W：You didn’t stay there and talk afterwards then！
M：We went for a walk along the river.I had a really good evening.
（Text 2）
M：Hi， Julia.Do you like the Christmas carols we’re singing in choir this month？
W：Not really， to be honest.I’m really unfamiliar with most of them.In China， the carols we really know are Jingle Bells and Santa Claus is Coming to Town.I don’t really understand the words of any other ones.
M：Do you want me to explain the words to you？ I think it’s important to understand the words you’re singing.
W：Yeah， that sounds great！ Let’s start with We Wish You a Merry Christmas.What in the world is figgy pudding， and why are people asking for it？
M：That is a weird line！ Figgy pudding is a traditional British Christmas dessert.It kind of looks like a cake.It’s not that common today， but people used to give a figgy pudding to each other at Christmas hundreds of years ago.
（Text 3）
W：Everything is ready.Please come to the dining room.
M：Wow， what a marvelous table you’ve got here！ I’ve long heard Chinese dishes are well-known all over the world for their colour， aroma and taste.
W：I hope you like my cooking.
M：I think you are not only a good teacher but also a good cook.
W：Thanks for the compliment.Let’s begin with chicken which will bring luck to the guests， according to Chinese culture.
M：It sounds interesting.In that case， I’ll eat more.
W：Please help yourself to it.
M：Thanks.I like fried kidney best among Chinese food.
W：Have a try.

　　（2024·厦门高一下质检）When Brad Ryan was young， he used to
spend a good time with his grandma Joy.Ryan says，“I remember
sleepovers at her house when she would teach me to make cookies.”
　　The two became distant when Ryan’s parents divorced， but then
ran into each other 10 years later.Realising how much he liked his
grandmother and missed that lost time， he made a plan to spend time with
her.
　　About eight years ago， Ryan was telling Joy about his 2009 hike and
many adventures living in the wilderness.“Her eyes softened and then
she matter-of-factly said， ‘I regret that I didn’t get to see more things
in life.It would have been nice to see the mountains，’” Ryan
recalls.“My heart broke for her.”
　　It wasn’t until a few years later that the two took a trip to the Great
Smoke Mountains.After a stressful work schedule， Ryan needed an
escape to nature.So he invited his grandma to travel with him.They
arrived late at night in the rain with Joy holding the umbrella while Ryan
set up the tent.At 85， she had never slept in a tent before， but she
climbed 2.3 miles on a trail， receiving high-fives all the way.
　　“It was a life-changing trip that provided more purpose than
anything I had ever done，” Ryan said.“Two years later I set up a
GoFundMe called Grandma Joy’s Road Trip in the spirit of making up
for lost time and proving that you’re never too old to pack in a lifetime of
adventure and travel.”
　　In the past four years， they’ve travelled more than 25，000 miles
across 38 states.So far， they’ve visited 29 of the 61 US national
parks， with much of the adventure documented on Instagram.
　　“You never know what’s going to come out of her mouth， and
it’s usually interesting.I wouldn’t want to travel the country with
anyone else at this point.Of course we get tired and have our angry
moments.There have been difficult moments that we had to work
through， but finally we get to where we need to be.” Ryan says.

Different Cultures
　　（2024·日照高一下月考）The cultures of the East and the West
really distinguish each other a lot.8.（　　）
　　The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries：China
and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow
River in China and the Hindu River in India.9.（　　）
　　When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture，
another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain — the
Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the
cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.10.（　　） Like the
Chinese culture， the European culture also crossed waters.When the
British settled down in America， their culture went with them over the
Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the
European culture a lot.
　　11.（　　） Take the language system for example.In the East，
most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western
languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human
race difference count as well.But what’s more， due to the far distance
and the steep areas between the East and the West， the two cultures
seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their
own ways with almost no interference （干扰） from the other.
　　The differences are everywhere.12.（　　） But different cultures
make the world of the 21st century more colourful.The cultural gap should
not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings.It ought to be the
motivation of our going farther.
A. Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures.
B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C. And these two are well known as the base of the European culture.
D. At the same time， some other differences add to the cultural
differences.
E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the
whole.
F. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own
styles.
G. They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views
of the world.

河所孕育，由此可知，这里应介绍河流对于文化的影响，故F项符合
