Passage 1
（24-25 高一下·浙江温州·期中）
While college graduation often marks the end of a long adventure, it was just the beginning for recent college graduates Sarah Harper and Sarah Brightfield. Ten days after Harper graduated in July 2023, the couple began a 463-day journey
throughout all 50 states and eight Canadian provinces with their yellow camper van (野营车), Peace Blossom.
Brightfield began dreaming of vanlife in 2019 during her first road trip in a
rented camper van. Harper, on the other hand, had never been camping before. Harper had an interest in travel and adventure but never expected that would come in the
form of a camper van.
The couple first took short trips, starting with a week-long road trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in August 2020. After this, they gradually increased the length of time of their road trips, visiting famous national parks in places like Utah,
Wyoming, Colorado and Arizona for two to three weeks at a time. Finally, they
decided to set out on the trip of a lifetime following Harper’s graduation. They hit the road with clothes for all seasons and no expectations.
The trip literally started with a loud noise, as Peace Blossom’s brake (刹车) lines went out while the two were leaving Kansas City at the trip’s start. To make matters worse, the two decided to ride their bikes around town while waiting on the van repairs, but the bikes were stolen after Brightfield and Harper parked them in a friend’s driveway when they went inside to change clothes.
Luckily, they received much help on the rest oftheir trip. Strangers offered
them places to stay, wash clothes and take showers. In Arizona, a man named Dusty pulled them out of a sand dune (沙丘). During the trip, they saw social justice (公正)
试卷第 1 页，共 28 页
history at the Emmett Till Memorial in Mississippi. They also saw the real-life effects of climate change during the serious wildfires in Washington State. Brightfield, who studied civil engineering and water quality in college, was attracted to see issues
about water resources on the road.
1 ．What do we know about the couple’s trip from paragraph 1 and 2

A ．Difficulty in finding a camper van. B ．Being stuck in the extreme weather.
C ．Theft of their bikes during van repairs. D ．The van’s breakdown due to engine failure.
3 ．Why does the author mention Dusty in the last paragraph
A ．To show the challenges the couple faced. B ．To show the kindness the couple received.

Passage 2
（24-25 高一下·浙江·期中）
“Lei ming m ming baak ngo gong ge waa ah Do you understand what I am
saying ” I stare back at the speaker blankly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my
mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a few words came out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural.
The anecdote (轶事) above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once every few years was often the best part of my
summers - what more can you ask from a food heaven But besides the family, food,
试卷第 2 页，共 28 页
and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought mixed feelings of guilt (愧疚)
that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, looking in. I was a girl lost in
translation, quietly absorbing the various tongues shouted in the wet markets, and nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners.
In America though, I am a different person. I don’t think twice about my
grammar when speaking. I don’t struggle with the words and fear that my stories
won’t get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry
daily about whether I’m judged for having an accent or whether I’m misunderstood
across languages. In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten ” instead of
recalling the Malaysian expressions “you makan already ” In Malaysia, everything
about the way I speak — my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang — gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress, and act. Maybe my face
could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me
than for a white tourist.
5 ．Which of the following can best describe the author in the anecdote
A ．Awkward. B ．Anxious. C ．Confident. D ．Upset.
6 ．What made the author feel guilty according to Paragraph 2
A ．Enjoying Malaysian food too much.
B ．Short visits causing family distance.
C ．Failing to translate dialects at markets.
D ．Cultural disconnect during family time.
7 ．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A ．The author avoids speaking in Malaysia.
B ．The author feels trapped by language.
C ．The author prefers American identity.
D ．The author’s face causes confusion.
试卷第 3 页，共 28 页
8 ．What does the text mainly talk about

Passage 3
（24-25 高一下·浙江·期中）
One of the basic expectations the public have of doctors is honesty. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 percent of doctors
admitted to lying to their patients
This seems unimaginable but I have told lies to several patients whose spouses (配偶) had died. Mrs. Walton was in her eighties and desperate to see her husband.
She’d been in hospital after a fall and was in pain. She called out for him frequently and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t there to comfort her. She was becoming more upset and would try to get up to find him, in spite of being at risk of falling again.
“He’s on his way, don’t worry,” the nurses would say and this would calm her down. She’d smile and roll her eyes and say how he was always late for things and tell the same story about him being late for their wedding nearly 60 years ago.
Part of the natural history of many of the dementias (痴呆), in particular
Alzheimer’s disease which is what Mrs. Walton had, is that the sufferer loses their
memory of recent events, but retains memories from the distant past. Sufferers are
trapped forever in a puzzling past. It is strongly upsetting and tormenting. Many of the behavioral difficulties that I have seen in those with dementia relate to them feeling
scared and confused that they are surrounded by strange people, even when they are surrounded by their family, because they have regressed back to decades ago. They look at their adult children confused and wonder who they could be because they
think their children are still toddlers (幼童).
How does one address this I have had countless families break down in tears in clinics, not knowing what to say or how to react as their loved one moves further and
试卷第 4 页，共 28 页
further away from them back into their distant past and they are left behind in the
present. The lies that doctors and nurses tell these patients are not big, elaborate lies
— they are brief confirmations intended to comfort and allow the subject to be swiftly changed. It is, when done in the right way, kind and compassionate. Sometimes,
honesty is simply not the best policy.
9 ．Why did the nurses lie to Mrs. Walton
A ．To persuade her into taking medicine. B ．To comfort her and change the subject.
C．To stop her complaining about her husband. D．To bring her back to memories of old times.
10 ．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 3
A ．Painful. B ．Frightening.
C ．Regretful. D ．Confusing.
11 ．What can we infer from the text
A ．The majority of the doctors are absolutely honest with their patients.
B ．People suffering from dementias are stuck in distant memories.
C ．Patients with dementias are usually frightened by unfamiliar people.
D ．Individuals undergoing dementias are left behind by their loved ones.
12 ．What’s the author’s attitude towards doctors telling lies to certain patients
A ．Disapproving. B ．Neutral.
C ．Indifferent. D ．Supportive.
Passage 4
（24-25 高一下·浙江·期中）
Charles Lloyd, the eighty-four-year-old vintage musician who not only toured Europe this summer but is also releasing three new albums, each recorded with a
different trio (三重奏) — “Trio of Trios.”
Lloyd was recently in town, and on a steamy Sunday night he played a sold-out two-and-a-half-hour show, performing with one of his trios, held in Sony Hall, a
Times Square basement space. Lloyd is a young person in an old person’s body with a
试卷第 5 页，共 28 页
passion for music since his youth.
When he grew up, his mother provided accommodation for performers who
were banned from local hotels, Duke Ellington among them. As a boy fond of
instrument at the age of three, Lloyd was in heaven. He said, “I would wait for those guys to get up in the morning because I had so many questions.” One day, his mother told Ellington that her son wanted to be a musician. But Duke said, “No, he has to be a doctor, lawyer, or Indian chief, because this stuff is too hard — the life. Don’t let
him do it.” But by that time, Lloyd was bit by the cobra, and there was no turning back.
After some apprenticeships, he formed a band in 1965, with Keith Jarrett, then an unknown, on piano. The group had multiple gold records on Atlantic, and even
played in San Francisco in 1967. But His career was not all smooth sailing. For much of the seventies and eighties, he holed up for he was exhausted and it seemed that he had run out of his talent because of the hassles of touring and also some unhealthy
living habits. After years of struggling, Lloyd eventually managed to set off once more and further his music journey.
“What keeps me younger than springtime is that I’m still learning, I’m still
growing,” he went on. “I’ve got experience, but I’ve got a beginner’s mind, and that’s a blessing.” Still, he admitted, the touring continue to weigh on him and he’s thought about slowing down-at some point. “The Creator has a carrot on a stick,” he added.
“you know, and I’m always falling short and I never got good enough to quit.”

Passage 5
（24-25 高一下·浙江宁波·期中）
Beijing helped make my dreams come true. When I studied in Beijing, it heard my voice, accompanied me through sunrise and sunset and gave me courage to move forward.
The beauty of Beijing is deeply carved in my mind. Against the red walls and green riles (瓦) of the Forbidden City, sparkling snowflakes float down from the sky, creating a beautiful and serene picture.
To me, who grew up in the tropics, snow seems as attractive as the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden. After a night's snow, everywhere magically becomes as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Did you see the first snow in Beijing in the winter of 2020-2021 I saw it and
touched it in person. Located in the outskirts (市郊) of Beijing, Beijing WTown (古北水镇) is a small town with many of the architectural features of the classical gardens in the historical city of Suzhou in eastern China. When snow fall, it looks like a
perfect landscape painting. I still feel warm when I recall the scene now, and words can't adequately express my feelings at that time. A scene like this is capable of
relieving any amount stress for tourists.
I love Beijing not only for its fascinating sights but also for the precious
试卷第 7 页，共 28 页
friendship I established with international students studying here. Beijing is a place
where students from various countries meet. Although it often seems exciting when we meet, saying goodbye remains inevitable. Even though all good things must come to an end, everything has its season, and the time to come together will come again.

Passage 6
（24-25 高一下·浙江杭州·期中）
My childhood was a painted picture of a sunny sky and rolling green fields
stretching to the horizon. It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My
family lived in a cabin in the countryside, but I lived in my mother’s arms. They were so delicate but strong, and her red hair falling around me was like a curtain that
separated me from the world.
Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream
试卷第 8 页，共 28 页
of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren’t many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group.
They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our
playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated (解放) from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.
My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone
brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outery from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare
feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged (浸没), time would stop, movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.
I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning. For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would pause, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.
We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best
circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: your perspective on the people and life around you changes; you always struggle to reach a mirror, only to
find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day and find a different person staring back out at you.
21．Why does the author describe his mother’s red hair as “a curtain that separated me from the world”
A ．To show her artistic personality. B ．To emphasize her protective presence.
C ．To reveal his fear of social interactions. D ．To illustrate his fascination with colors.
22 ．What does the underlined word “archaic” in paragraph 2 most probably mean A ．Time-honored. B ．Old-fashioned. C ．Mountain-ringed. D ．Self-employed.
23 ．What does the lake symbolize in the author’s boyhood memories
A ．A dangerous pause in life. B ．A mirror reflecting adulthood.
试卷第 9 页，共 28 页
C ．A prison of social restrictions. D ．A state of immersion in the present.
24 ．What message does the author convey in the last paragraph
A ．Struggle and challenge make a man grow up.
B ．Childhood joy is completely erased by growth
C ．Growth often brings unavoidable self-reinvention.
D ．The regret of growth is that people can’t find a mirror.
Passage 7
（24-25 高一下·浙江·期中）
People often react strangely to the 10-year age gap between my kids. Some
strangers ask if they’ re from the same marriage or if the younger was an “accident”. Some joke we’ re “starting over” late. Maybe we are — but we’ re perfectly happy with our choice.
Like any family, we face challenges. My tween needs homework help during
her brother’s bath time. Sometimes she has sports events and parties while he stays
home sick, needing care. She enjoys patterns and graphic novels; he chews books and throws toys. They won’t spend mornings building Legos together like same-aged
siblings (兄弟姐妹) might.
Yet these differences feel manageable. If schedules clash, my fifth grader waits or solves problems herself. Though their meals differ, we always eat together. While their skills show the age gap most clearly, this actually benefits them both.
Despite the decade between them, they share toys and activities. When she plays the piano, he sings beside her. When she draws, he scribbles(涂鸦) nearby. The little one learns from his “expert” big sister, while she enjoys his constant admiration — to him, she’ s practically the sun itself.
Last week at a berry farm, my daughter raced ahead with cousins. Her brother kept stuffing berries into his cheeks, ignoring my calls. “Get Nic!” I told her. Without turning, she yelled “Come!” He instantly dropped his fruit and ran after her.
Though still awkward, he comforts her when she’s upset, climbing into her lap for hugs.
试卷第 10 页，共 28 页
When she’s bored, he brings yummy cookies and candies — gifts filled with pure love no age gap can erase.
No parent-child bond matches the unique connection between siblings. Others might question our family, but I wouldn’t change a thing.
25 ．The underlined word “clash” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A ．Limit. B ．Disagree. C ．Approve. D ．Match.
26 ．Which activity may the siblings NOT share according to the text
A．Reading children’s books together. B．Cooperating on a musical performance.
C ．Engaging in artistic creation side by side. D ．Sharing snacks during emotional moments.
27 ．What message does the last paragraph convey
A ．Children are raised according to their ages.
B ．Social opinions influence parenting strategies.
C ．Sibling connections go beyond age differences.
D ．Parent-child relationships require more attention.
28 ．What is the mother’s attitude towards the age gap between her children
A ．Negative. B ．Indifferent. C ．Worried. D ．Positive.
Passage 8
（24-25 高一下·浙江衢州·期中）
Imagine a warm, summer day at Juhu Beach in Mumbai. Ocean waves crash
along the shore; the sun shines on the horizon. But what if the sun sets in Juhu and
doesn’t rise again for months and the sea freezes over Well, this is the kind of place where I’ve worked over the last decade. As a sea ice scientist, I live through the
winter in the 24x7 polar (极地的) darkness and extremely low temperatures of six-month-long nights in the Arctic and the Antarctic.
Yet, my early experiences were far from pleasant. Besides being unable to
clearly mark the passage of time, the lack of sunlight brings both a physical and a
mental suffering. One’s body clock turns off, leading to constant tiredness and little
试卷第 11 页，共 28 页
drive to focus on work. My mood is a very flat sine wave (正弦波). Missing family and friends makes it worse.
Unlike where I grew up — in warm, green Trivandrum, Kerala, filled with rich sights, sounds and people —l ife at the Poles is quiet. As the days shorten, almost all life starts to leave looking for warmer lands, but those who stay are greeted by
breathtaking glacier (冰川) and an otherworldly view. In the coldest winter months, the sun seems to live only in memory. Its disappearance, however, is not real: Polar lights, showing blue, red, yellow and green, snake like waving curtains across the
deep black sky, reminding me that the light shall one day return and there is wonder to enjoy.
It took me years to adapt and fall in love with these environments and now I am excited to throw myself into another journey in this land of darkness and slow-moving time. What pulls me back time and again is its unshakable peace and calmness. It
quiets you, fills you with wonder and changes your soul. Being restless by nature, I have had to find patience, build determination, and learn how to solve problems
without losing control.
29 ．Why does the author ask readers to imagine a day in paragraph 1
A ．To inspire readers’ imagination. B ．To show his regret for his choice.

A ．The amazing beauty. B ．The scientific wonders.
C ．The former good lives. D ．The upsetting quietness.
32 ．Why did the author fall in love with the polar life

Passage 1
（24-25 高一下·浙江·期中）
When Ma Jun was born, his parents noticed something unusual. His limbs were weak, and he couldn’t move or stand without help. While his peers ran and played,
Ma could only sit in a wheelchair, watching in frustration. For years, his parents carried Ma on their backs to school, braving wind and rain.
In 2016, Ma passed his college entrance exams, but he faced a dilemma. With
limited resources, his family couldn’t manage both sons’ education. Then Ma made a decision to stay home, sacrificing (牺牲) his own learning opportunity for his brother. This decision, though rooted in love, threw Ma into hopelessness. Longing to attend university and prove himself despite his condition, Ma instead found himself stuck in bed, feeling desperate.

best-seller I and the Temple of Earth. Shi, a famous writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into profound literature. As he read, Ma felt a spark of hope lighting up his world. Shi’s vivid observations and unshaken hope inspired Ma

Having fought against the illness for many years, Ma never defines himself as a man to be pitied. “I don’t think my experiences are tragic. Everyone in this world

suffers from something. For me, it’s physical; for some others, it’s emotional. We’re all fighting our own battles,” he says. Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline, a way to connect with the world and leave behind a legacy of courage,

When Alex was 15 and in middle school, he saw his best friend Lily facing a major challenge-she had a severe learning disability. Reading and understanding
complex texts was extremely hard for her, which hurt her grades and made her lose confidence. Determined to support her, Alex made up his mind to find a solution.
One day, while carelessly reading Reader’s Digest, Alex chanced upon an
article about the shocking power of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Deeply inspired by the article, he made up his mind to create an Al-based learning tool that could effectively help students like Lily. Alex spent months learning programming

languages and algorithms (算法). He faced numerous tough challenges along the way, such as checking and reorganizing codes (代码) , which mean programming
instructions, and searching for relevant data, which mean information having
something to do with developing such an app. However, he never thought of giving up. Finally, he developed an app called “ReadEase”, which uses AI to analyze texts and provide simplified explanations, synonyms, and clear audio-readings. It can also track the user’s progress and offer personalized learning plans.

reading skills. I can finally understand what I'm reading.” Lily said excitedly.
The success of“ReadEase” didn’t stop there. Alex shared his invention with his school’s teachers, who were deeply impressed by its huge potential. They started
using the app in their classes to help students with learning difficulties. Now, Alex is working on improving “ReadEase” and hopes to make it available to more students around the world. “I want to use technology to make a positive impact on people’s
lives,” he said with great enthusiasm.

Passage 3
（24-25 高一下·浙江·期中）
At the Boxing County Lyuju Opera Troupe, in east China’s Shandong province, Liu Ning, 41 and his student Wang Chenglong, 24 were rehearsing Sisters’Marriage Switch, a classic from Lyuju Opera.
As one of the major local operas, Lyuju Opera was put on China’s National
Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2008. “During festivals, villages in my hometown would stage operas. My grandmother always took me along, though I only watched
for fun at the beginning,” Wang recalled. His artistic awakening came during a
Maoqiang (another Shandong opera style) performance. “Charmed, I registered in Maoqiang training after junior high, unprepared for the rigors.”
The training was extremely strict: a short section of recitation, only eight words, needs to be practiced for a whole week until there is no mistake in posture,
expression, or tone, and if there was a small mistake in the position of the tongue, it meant starting over. Because of this difficulty, Wang gave up. But his later factory
work taught him life’s hardships. Learning from experience, he seized a second
chance through registration in the local Lyuju Opera Class. As graduation
approached, Wang heard that young actors were needed in the Boxing County Lyuju Opera Troupe, so he chose to join and stay in this troupe.
Today, he has become a leading drama expert, and he is also actively promoting
new media communication. On Tiktok, he has nearly 30,000 fans, many of whom are local people, and a large number of young people are attracted to it. He shared his
own performances and those of his daily life of training, which received a lot of attention and praise.
In fact, Lyuju Opera still has a very large elderly audience in many areas of
Shandong. Liu said, “Today, the attraction ofLyuju Opera in Boxing county is still very strong. Performances may not need the top stage, or even a stage, they occur in the local communities, hidden in every corner of Boxing.”

hunters the world has ever seen. From a young age, Mary and her brother Joseph
explored the beaches and rocksides, breaking the secrets hidden within the Jurassic
Coast’s rocks. These were no ordinary rocks, preserving the remains of creatures that lived millions of years ago, during the Jurassic period. In Lyme, fossil collecting was dangerous work. With strong determination, Mary moved across the dangerous
ground beneath the cliffs during the low tide in search of precious fossils, which held great scientific worth.
In 1811, Mary discovered the complete bones of an Ichthyosaurus, a marine
试卷第 17 页，共 28 页
reptile (海洋爬行动物) looking like a dolphin. This was the first complete
Ichthyosaurus ever found, and it completely changed our understanding of these
ancient creatures. Mary’s finds continued to astonish the scientific community. Her discoveries opened new ways for scientists to study the ancient world.
Despite her contributions, Mary faced many challenges. As a woman from a working-class background, she received little recognition for her work. Many of her discoveries were credited to male scientists, and she often struggled financially to
support herself and her family. Yet, Mary’s devotion to her work never faded. She continued to study fossils, even when things were very difficult.
Today, Mary Anning is celebrated as a pioneer in fossil science. Her discoveries helped shape our understanding of the Jurassic period and the creatures that lived
during that time. Her story is not only proof of her personal strength but also an inspiration to future generations of scientists.
45．Which words best describe Mary’s fossil-hunting work according to paragraph 2
A ．Dull but rewarding. B ．Tough but well-paid.
C ．Risky but valuable. D ．Demanding but fun-filled.
46 ．What is the significance of Mary’s Ichthyosaurus discovery in 1811
A ．It explained how coastlines changed. B ．It helped identify new types of fossils.
C．It attracted international fossil traders. D．It redefined ancient marine life studies.
47 ．What greatly limited Mary’s development in fossil science
A ．Class and gender. B ．Age and race.
C ．Education and resources. D ．Health and equipment.
48 ．What can we learn from Mary’s story

At 12, my father decided to take me a trip to France. I had never been out of the
试卷第 18 页，共 28 页
country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable attractions in Paris. None of us spoke much
French but we loved the city.
We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our understanding of what is honestly a good subway design that is pretty easy to
follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.
We reached the end of the line and felt frightened when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came up to help. He spoke no
English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then got on it with us.
Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer(换乘)and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train an hour and a half out of his way to make
sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and shook our hands gently at the stop. Then
with his quiet way, he got on the train to return the way he had come.
What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to make them change their minds with this story.

Passage 1
（24-25 高一下·浙江·期中）
My job is to train rats to find landmines (地雷) so the dangers can be cleared to save lives. I work for a Belgian non-governmental organization called Apopo that
operates from Morogoro, in my home country of Tanzania. The rats I train are used in mine-clearing programs around the world, including in Angola, Azerbaijan and
Cambodia.
The animals we use are a species of African giant rat called Cricetomys
ansorgei (非洲巨鼠). They are born in sub-Saharan Africa and are the size of a small cat, which makes them easy to catch. They also live longer than other rats, which is helpful for the program, because it takes between nine months and a year to train one fully.
My colleagues and I use a method called clicker training: we teach the rats to relate a click with a food reward, and then use clicks to gradually reward behaviour. Rats are naturally curious, so they will explore, and their great sense of smell means they can find buried landmines.
试卷第 20 页，共 28 页
To teach the rats what to look for, we place small amounts of TNT explosives (炸药) in some tea eggs and mix them with some filled with other things. We reward the rats for touching these, then move on to reward them only when they touch a tea egg filled with explosives, rather than ones filled with other things, such as hair,
flowers and so on. The rats need to perform perfectly at each stage of training before they move to the next stage. In the final stage, we use real landmines in a training
field.
As trainers, we build a connection with the rats we train. Some are slow
learners; others know the process very quickly. Most of the rats make it through,
eventually. I work with our resident scientist to continually follow and improve our
training program, because the rats are so clever that they can be smarter than trainers!
53 ．What’s the key to the training
A ．Linking behavior and rewards. B ．Increasing the difficulty gradually.
C ．Making the rats get used to the click. D ．Exercising rats’ sense of smell.
54 ．Why did the author choose to use Cricetomys ansorgei
A ．They can be seen commonly. B ．They’re easily accessible.
C ．They’re quickly trained. D ．They live for up to a year.
55 ．What can be inferred from the training process
A ．Rats can find out all the explosives quickly.
B ．Most rats are quick learners.
C ．The training won’t stay the same.
D ．Real landmines aren’t used in training.
56 ．Which is the best title for the text
A ．How Rats Contribute to Saving Life. B ．Why Giant Rats Can Be Useful.
C ．How I Train Rats to Find Explosives. D ．Why We Use Clicker to Train Rats.

While on tour in central Thailand, British musician Paul Barton has been
surrounded by unruly audiences that pull his hair, steal his music and climb over his
试卷第 21 页，共 28 页
piano, while enjoying bananas.
Barton is a rock star to hundreds of hungry wild monkeys that he hopes his
music can calm, at a time when Thailand’ s coronavirus-induced tourism gap means fewer visitors to feed them, and less funds for their welfare. “We need to make an
effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive,” said Barton, 59, a long-time Thailand resident.
Barton has played at four venues in Lopburi, a province famous for its attacking monkeys, including at an ancient Hindu temple, a hardware store and a deserted
cinema. The monkeys are instantly drawn as he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven’s Fur Elise and Michael Nyman’s Diary of Love, some sharing his stool, others climbing
onto his shoulders and touching his head.
Barton maintains focus as a small monkey runs up and down the piano keys as others chew at his sheet music before one tries to take it away. “A wonderful
opportunity to see the wild animals just being themselves,” said Barton, from
Yorkshire in northern England. “I was surprised to play the piano and find that they were actually eating the music as I was playing it. I wasn’t going to let those things distract (使分心) from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful
monkeys.” They are his latest audience, having played Bach, Schubert, Chopin, and Beethoven for more than a decade to elephants at retirement shelters.
Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys’ hunger while also studying their behavioral responses to classical music.
57 ．What does the underlined phrase “unruly audiences” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．Gentle visitors. B．Rude residents. C．Hungry elephants. D．Misbehaving monkeys.
58 ．What does Paul Barton hope to achieve through his performances
A ．To make the monkeys happy and satisfied. B ．To study the monkeys’ improper behavior.
C ．To ensure that the monkeys have enough food. D ．To promote his own music career.
试卷第 22 页，共 28 页
59 ．How does Barton act when monkeys interrupt his show
A ．He stops playing to shout at them. B ．He remains focused on his music.
C ．He offers food to distract them. D ．He requests assistance from others.
60 ．What kind of person is Barton according to the passage
A ．Kind-hearted and devoted. B ．Responsible and caring.
C ．Warm-hearted and serious. D ．Creative and strict.
Passage 3
（23-24 高一下·浙江杭州·期中）
In 2004, Pen Hadow became the first person to trek to the North Pole alone,
without being resupplied on the way. That meant swimming through cold waters, and risking meeting polar bears. Just eight months later, he made a similar trip to the
South Pole. Now he is back in the Arctic again, preparing for a more ambitious
expedition. This time, however, more significance is attached. Pen and two colleagues will set out on a three-month, 1000 kilometers trek to the North Pole, taking detailed measurements ofthe thickness and density of the ice. Nobody has ever done this
before, and he knows the results will be of great significance to the scientific
community. This will be the truest picture so far of what global warming is doing to the ice that covers the polar region.
Pen and his wife, Mary, live in the country with their two children. “It’s much harder to be away from them this time,” he admits. “They were one and five when I
last went, and I made a mistake in the way I said goodbye. I thought it would be a
good idea to say to my son, ‘You’re the man of the house now, look after your mum and your sister. ” He absolutely took it to heart, asking his mum how she was all the time, but the stress eventually became too much. While it was well intentioned, it was an unfair thing to do.
He is spending these last days before departure preparing his things. With him
will be Ann Daniels, one of the world’s leading polar explorers, and the photographer, Martin Hartley. They will be supported by a crew of six, flying in supplies. Being part of a team is actually more stressful to someone like him. Besides, something else is on

his mind too. “I’m going to be 47 on Thursday. I’ve done far less training.” Why “Organizational things always seem more urgent. So I’m almost fearful ofwhat I’m going to ask of myself.”
Pen believes his mission reconnects exploration with the search for knowledge that drove previous generations into the unknown. “Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition and of limited value to anyone beyond the polar adventuring
community. This time, scientists will profit from the data, and we’re creating a
platform to expose as many people as possible to what’s happening in the Arctic
Ocean. This is important work, and nobody can do it but us,” he says. “Our skills,
which are otherwise not that necessary, have become really relevant. Suddenly, we’re socially useful again.”
61．What can we learn about Pen Hadow’s opinion of the new expedition in paragraph. 1
A ．He is aware ofits huge importance.
B ．He feels certain that it will be stressful.
C ．He thinks it similar to his previous journeys.
D ．He is confident with the help of a regional picture.
62 ．What does the underlined phrase “took it to heart” in paragraph 2 mean
A ．He started to feel unwell. B ．He memorized his father’s words.
C ．He was afraid of the responsibility. D ．He carried out his father’s words carefully.
63 ．What is worrying Pen about the new expedition
A．Whether he will be mentally prepared. B．Whether supplies will be enough in time.
C．Whether he will still be fit enough to take part. D．Whether the arrangements will turn out well.
64 ．Comparing the new expedition to his previous ones, how does Pen feel
A ．He is uncertain if it will collect information.
B ．He is doubtful about its long-term usefulness.
C ．He is proud that they can contribute to scientific research.

Passage 4
（23-24 高一下·浙江·期中）
As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a
leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was
awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his
birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化).
“Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will
be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average
rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting
sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming
philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can
create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to
water.”
By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20
pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to
试卷第 25 页，共 28 页
plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
66 ．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A ．They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B ．They helped her better understand her father.
C．They made her decide to leave the country. D．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
67 ．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A ．Cold weather. B ．Soil pollution. C ．Low rainfall. D ．Forest damage. 68 ．Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A ．To create job opportunities for young people. B ．To promote the protection of their farmland.
C ．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D ．To help the children obtain a basic education.
69 ．Which of the following can be the best title to the text
A ．Saving Water in Africa B ．Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C ．Holding back the Sahara D ．Planting Trees in Tunisia
Passage 5
（24-25 高一下·浙江舟山·期中）
Arbor Day came from the mind of a tree lover named Julius Sterling Morton, who had a passion for planting all kinds of trees. Morton was born in Adams, New York, in 1832, but his life took a decisive turn on his wedding day in October 1854. After he and his bride, Caroline Joy French, were married in Detroit, they headed
west for adventure in the wilds of Nebraska Territory. The couple settled on 160 treeless acres (the key word here is treeless).
Despite being busy with his work and having four sons, Morton planted
thousands of trees on the homestead he called the Morton “ranche”. He planted an apple orchard, as well as peach, plum, and pear trees, plus cottonwoods, evergreens, beeches, and more.

Morton took every opportunity he could to spread the word. He gave speeches and filled his newspaper with agricultural advice, urging Nebraskans to plant trees and try new crops.
Today, the family home, Arbor Lodge, is a state park in Nebraska City,
Nebraska. Over the years, Arbor Lodge grew from a four-room home into a 52-room mansion, complete with a terraced garden, a pine grove, and 65 acres of more than
250 varieties of trees and shrubs.
Julius Sterling Morton died at the age of 70 on April 27, 1902, writing just a month earlier that he hoped to plant trees as soon as the weather turned warm. A statue of him stands in the National Hall ofFame in Washington, D.C.

17 ．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To me, who grew up in the tropics, snow seems as attractive as the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden.(对我来说，作为一个在热带长大的人，雪就像伊甸园中的禁果一样迷人。)”可知，可知，作者在热带长大，很少见到雪，雪对她来说很有吸引力，她将雪比作禁果，是为了表明她对雪的喜爱。故选 B 项。
18．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“Beijing is a place where students from various countries meet. Although it often seems exciting when we meet, saying goodbye remains inevitable. Even
though all good things must come to an end, everything has its season, and the time to come
together will come again. (北京是一个各国学生相聚的地方。虽然我们相聚时常常令人兴奋，但说再见仍然是 inevitable 。尽管所有美好的事物都必须结束，但万物皆有时节，相聚的时 刻还会再来。)” ，结合“all good things must come to an end(所有美好的事物都必须结束)” 可 知，来自不同国家的学生相聚在北京，相聚之后必然会有分别，所以说再见是“不可避免
的” ，所以划线单词的意思与“不可避免的”意义相近相近。故选 A 项。
19．推理判断题。根据第二段“The beauty of Beijing is deeply carved in my mind. Against the red walls and green riles (瓦) of the Forbidden City, sparkling snowflakes float down from the sky,
creating a beautiful and serene picture. (北京的美丽深深地刻在我的脑海里。在紫禁城红墙绿瓦的映衬下，晶莹的雪花从天空飘落，营造出一幅美丽而宁静的画面。)”以及第四段“Did you see the first snow in Beijing in the winter of 2020-2021 I saw it and touched it in person. Located in the outskirts (市郊) of Beijing, Beijing WTown (古北水镇) is a small town with many of the
architectural features of the classical gardens in the historical city of Suzhou in eastern China.
When snow fall, it looks like a perfect landscape painting. (你看到 2020 - 2021 年冬天北京的第一场雪了吗？我亲眼看到并触摸到了它。位于北京市郊的古北水镇是一个具有中国东部历史名城苏州古典园林许多建筑特色的小镇。下雪的时候，它看起来就像一幅完美的山水
画。)”可知，作者被北京的雪景和风景所吸引；再根据第五段中的“I love Beijing not only for its fascinating sights but also for the precious friendship I established with international students
studying here. (我爱北京，不仅因为它迷人的景色，还因为我与在这里学习的国际学生建立了珍贵的友谊。)”可知，作者也被在北京所建立的友谊所吸引，由此可推断，作者被北京的不同方面所吸引。故选 C 项。
