(2025·湖南湘潭高二上期末)
When Aiden and Lebron asked me to accompany them on a camping trip to the mountains，I pictured a cozy wooden house with a warm fire and hot cocoa.Imagine how my comfortable image became a nightmare of survival training when they showed up with a truck filled with camping supplies—tents，rolled-up sleeping bags，and canteens!
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和朋友进行露营的故事，经历艰难攀爬并度过风暴之后，他们看到了令人难忘的美丽风景。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Lebron，super organized，rushed me to join him to escape the city rush.Good weather though—cotton-candy clouds dotted the deep blue sky.
The trail at first seemed more like a road through the trees than a hiking path.Then it got narrow and steep，making me focus and stay quiet.We went higher，above the tree line，seeing the trail winding up to the mountain top.
“It looks closer than it is，” Lebron said，reading my facial cues.“This is the most difficult part of the trail.Loose rocks and tree roots make it dangerous，and we have no shade.”
Finally，we reached the summit.My legs aching，I dropped my pack and groaned(呻吟).“No time to rest，” Lebron said，looking up at the sky.“The weather here changes quickly，and that cool air means a storm is coming.We need to set up camp.”
He was serious about the storm.While Aiden and Lebron set up camp，I tried to help，but the storm arrived fierce and quick.We took cover inside the tent near a huge rock as thunder roared.
Lebron，sensing that I was scared，reached in his backpack for some peanut butter.Slowly，he spread the peanut butter.“This is just a typical summer storm—they’re short-lived，but intense，”Lebron continued.“The campsite might get a bit muddy，but what’s the fun in camping if you can’t get dirty! At least the rain will keep the bears away，” he said with a smile.
The storm passed swiftly，revealing a breathtaking view.I won’t lie—I longed for a hot shower and a soft bed，but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way，I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.
1.How did the writer feel when Aiden and Lebron showed up with a truck filled with camping supplies
A.Anxious and excited.
B.Relaxed and delighted.
C.Frustrated and angry.
D.Disappointed and surprised.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Imagine how my comfortable image became a nightmare of survival training when they showed up with a truck filled with camping supplies—tents，rolled-up sleeping bags，and canteens！”可知，当艾登和勒布朗开着一辆装满露营用品的卡车出现时，作者对露营的舒适想象变成噩梦，因此推断他是失望和吃惊的。故选D。
解析
2.What does “It” in paragraph 4 refer to according to the passage
A.The trail. B.The mountain.
C.The summit. D.The tree line.
代词指代题。根据第三段的“We went higher，above the tree line，seeing the trail winding up to the mountain top.”和第五段的“Finally，we reached the summit.”可知，作者一行越走越高，看到小路蜿蜒着通往山顶，他们要爬到山顶，因此推断画线词所在句中勒布朗说山顶实际上比看起来要近，It是指山顶。故选C。
解析
√
3.What was the trail like as they climbed higher
A.Narrow but plain.
B.Risky and challenging.
C.Pleasant with clear paths.
D.Marked with shelters for breaks.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Then it got narrow and steep，making me focus and stay quiet.We went higher，above the tree line，seeing the trail winding up to the mountain top.”和第四段的“This is the most difficult part of the trail.Loose rocks and tree roots make it dangerous，and we have no shade.”可知，随着他们爬得更高，小路变得狭窄，松动的岩石和树根使它很危险而困难。故选B。
解析
4.Why did Lebron mention the rain keeping bears away during the storm
A.To show off his humor.
B.To highlight danger in the area.
C.To ensure everyone stayed indoors.
D.To lighten the mood and reduce fear.
√
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Lebron，sensing that I was scared...‘This is just a typical summer storm’…‘At least the rain will keep the bears away，’he said with a smile.”可知，作者很害怕，勒布朗宽慰作者，说暴风雨虽然猛烈，但是很快会过去，野营不弄脏衣服就没有乐趣，至少这场大雨可以将熊赶走，因此推断勒布朗提到暴风雨会把熊赶走是为了缓解作者的情绪，减少恐惧。故选D。
解析
B(此篇精读)
(2025·四川凉山高二上期末)
The Olympic Games are old and so are the fans.The median age(中位年龄) of American viewers of the Games in Barcelona in 1992 was 39.That increased to 53 for the Rio de Janeiro Games of 2016.Overall viewing figures are sinking，too.At the Games in Tokyo in 2021，they were a third lower than in 2008.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。奥运会的观众人数正在减少，因此奥运会推出了新的项目。文章讲述了人们对新项目的反应和将电子竞技纳入奥运会的潜在好处。
Thomas Bach，president of the International Olympic Committee(IOC)，has admitted that the Games risk losing connection.To keep connected with society，the Olympics are expanding，adding what Mr Bach described as “youth-based” sports.In Tokyo，climbing，skateboarding and surfing were put on the schedule.In Paris，breakdancing featured for the first time.Undoubtedly the youth were excited.But if Mr Bach wants the Olympics to become more relevant to more people，the best idea would be to include e-sports.
So far the IOC has approached e-sports like an uncool dad.An inaugural(首次的) Olympic E-sports Week took place in Singapore in 2023.But the choice of events puzzled fans.The archery game，for instance，had been downloaded only 100 times before the tournament was announced.The most recognisable event，“Just Dance”，was not considered an e-sport by fans.The experiment resulted in widespread doubt.Peak viewership was only more than 22,000.
E-sports command a huge audience.Attracting a big audience matters for the Olympics，which have seen the costs of infrastructure(基础设施) in recent years.The inclusion of e-sports would add income from media rights and sponsorship.Besides，the IOC has other reasons for changing its stand.For one，e-sports may bring Olympic glory to a more diverse group of countries and just like traditional sports，it can show three of the Olympic values: excellence，friendship and respect.
5.What can we know from paragraph 1
A.The viewing number of the Olympics is reducing.
B.The Olympic Games are always popular in America.
C.The IOC didn’t realize the problems of the Olympics.
D.The median age of Olympic viewers remained the same.
细节理解题。由第一段中“Overall viewing figures are sinking，too.At the Games in Tokyo in 2021，they were a third lower than in 2008.”可知，奥运会的观众人数正在减少。故选A。
解析
√
6.How do the Olympics keep connected with society
A.By focusing on more popular and contemporary events.
B.By adding more sports attracting the younger generation.
C.By cutting down the number of traditional sports in the Games.
D.By hosting the Olympics in more countries with diverse cultures.
√
细节理解题。由第二段中“To keep connected with society，the Olympics are expanding，adding what Mr Bach described as ‘youth-based’ sports.”可知，奥运会通过增加更多吸引年轻一代的运动项目来与社会保持联系。故选B。
解析
7.What was viewers’ attitude toward the inaugural Olympic E-sports Week
A.Unclear. B.Satisfied.
C.Tolerant. D.Uninterested.
观点态度题。由倒数第二段中“The experiment resulted in widespread doubt.Peak viewership was only more than 22,000.”可知，首届奥运会电子竞技周引发了广泛质疑，观众很少，可推知观众对它不感兴趣。故选D。
解析
√
8.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Differences between traditional sports and e-sports.
B.Advantages of culturally diverse nations in e-sports.
C.Potential benefits of including e-sports in the Olympics.
D.Suggestions on building a safe gaming environment for e-sports.
√
段落大意题。由最后一段中“The inclusion of e-sports would add income from media rights and sponsorship...For one，e-sports may bring Olympic glory to a more diverse group of countries and just like traditional sports，it can show three of the Olympic values: excellence，friendship and respect.”可知，最后一段主要讲将电子竞技纳入奥运会的潜在好处。故选C。
解析
1.viewer n.观察者；观看者；电视观众
2.viewing figure收视率
3.risk doing sth冒做某事的风险
4.undoubtedly adv.无疑；肯定
5.include v.包含；包括→inclusion n.包含；包括
6.recognise v.承认；认出；赏识→recognisable adj.可辨认的；易于识别的→recognised adj.公认的；认可的
7.result in导致；造成
同义短语：lead to，contribute to，bring about，give rise to
词汇积累
To keep connected with society，the Olympics are expanding，adding what Mr Bach described as “youth-based” sports.
分析：本句主干为the Olympics are expanding，To keep connected with society是目的状语，adding...为非谓语动词作状语，后面是what引导的宾语从句。
翻译：为了与社会保持联系，奥运会正在扩大规模，增加了巴赫所说的“以年轻人为基础”的体育项目。

(2025·湖南湘潭高二上期末)
When Aiden and Lebron asked me to accompany them on a camping trip to the mountains，I pictured a cozy wooden house with a warm fire and hot cocoa.Imagine how my comfortable image became a nightmare of survival training when they showed up with a truck filled with camping supplies—tents，rolled-up sleeping bags，and canteens!
Lebron，super organized，rushed me to join him to escape the city rush.Good weather though—cotton-candy clouds dotted the deep blue sky.
The trail at first seemed more like a road through the trees than a hiking path.Then it got narrow and steep，making me focus and stay quiet.We went higher，above the tree line，seeing the trail winding up to the mountain top.
“It looks closer than it is，” Lebron said，reading my facial cues.“This is the most difficult part of the trail.Loose rocks and tree roots make it dangerous，and we have no shade.”
Finally，we reached the summit.My legs aching，I dropped my pack and groaned(呻吟)．“No time to rest，” Lebron said，looking up at the sky.“The weather here changes quickly，and that cool air means a storm is coming.We need to set up camp.”
He was serious about the storm.While Aiden and Lebron set up camp，I tried to help，but the storm arrived fierce and quick.We took cover inside the tent near a huge rock as thunder roared.
Lebron，sensing that I was scared，reached in his backpack for some peanut butter.Slowly，he spread the peanut butter.“This is just a typical summer storm—they’re short-lived，but intense，”Lebron continued.“The campsite might get a bit muddy，but what’s the fun in camping if you can’t get dirty! At least the rain will keep the bears away，” he said with a smile.
The storm passed swiftly，revealing a breathtaking view.I won’t lie—I longed for a hot shower and a soft bed，but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way，I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和朋友进行露营的故事，经历艰难攀爬并度过风暴之后，他们看到了令人难忘的美丽风景。
1．How did the writer feel when Aiden and Lebron showed up with a truck filled with camping supplies
A．Anxious and excited.
B．Relaxed and delighted.
C．Frustrated and angry.
D．Disappointed and surprised.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中“Imagine how my comfortable image became a nightmare of survival training when they showed up with a truck filled with camping supplies—tents，rolled-up sleeping bags，and canteens！”可知，当艾登和勒布朗开着一辆装满露营用品的卡车出现时，作者对露营的舒适想象变成噩梦，因此推断他是失望和吃惊的。故选D。
2．What does “It” in paragraph 4 refer to according to the passage
A．The trail. B．The mountain.
C．The summit. D．The tree line.
答案　C
解析　代词指代题。根据第三段的“We went higher，above the tree line，seeing the trail winding up to the mountain top.”和第五段的“Finally，we reached the summit.”可知，作者一行越走越高，看到小路蜿蜒着通往山顶，他们要爬到山顶，因此推断画线词所在句中勒布朗说山顶实际上比看起来要近，It是指山顶。故选C。
3．What was the trail like as they climbed higher
A．Narrow but plain.
B．Risky and challenging.
C．Pleasant with clear paths.
D．Marked with shelters for breaks.
答案　B

4．Why did Lebron mention the rain keeping bears away during the storm
A．To show off his humor.
B．To highlight danger in the area.
C．To ensure everyone stayed indoors.
D．To lighten the mood and reduce fear.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Lebron，sensing that I was scared...‘This is just a typical summer storm’．..‘At least the rain will keep the bears away，’he said with a smile.”可知，作者很害怕，勒布朗宽慰作者，说暴风雨虽然猛烈，但是很快会过去，野营不弄脏衣服就没有乐趣，至少这场大雨可以将熊赶走，因此推断勒布朗提到暴风雨会把熊赶走是为了缓解作者的情绪，减少恐惧。故选D。
B(此篇精读)
(2025·四川凉山高二上期末)
The Olympic Games are old and so are the fans.The median age(中位年龄) of American viewers of the Games in Barcelona in 1992 was 39.That increased to 53 for the Rio de Janeiro Games of 2016.Overall viewing figures are sinking，too.At the Games in Tokyo in 2021，they were a third lower than in 2008.
Thomas Bach，president of the International Olympic Committee(IOC)，has admitted that the Games risk losing connection.To keep connected with society，the Olympics are expanding，adding what Mr Bach described as “youth-based” sports.In Tokyo，climbing，skateboarding and surfing were put on the schedule.In Paris，breakdancing featured for the first time.Undoubtedly the youth were excited.But if Mr Bach wants the Olympics to become more relevant to more people，the best idea would be to include e-sports.
So far the IOC has approached e-sports like an uncool dad.An inaugural(首次的) Olympic E-sports Week took place in Singapore in 2023.But the choice of events puzzled fans.The archery game，for instance，had been downloaded only 100 times before the tournament was announced.The most recognisable event，“Just Dance”，was not considered an e-sport by fans.The experiment resulted in widespread doubt.Peak viewership was only more than 22,000.
E-sports command a huge audience.Attracting a big audience matters for the Olympics，which have seen the costs of infrastructure(基础设施) in recent years.The inclusion of e-sports would add income from media rights and sponsorship.Besides，the IOC has other reasons for changing its stand.For one，e-sports may bring Olympic glory to a more diverse group of countries and just like traditional sports，it can show three of the Olympic values: excellence，friendship and respect.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。奥运会的观众人数正在减少，因此奥运会推出了新的项目。文章讲述了人们对新项目的反应和将电子竞技纳入奥运会的潜在好处。
5．What can we know from paragraph 1

B．The Olympic Games are always popular in America.
C．The IOC didn’t realize the problems of the Olympics.
D．The median age of Olympic viewers remained the same.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。由第一段中“Overall viewing figures are sinking，too.At the Games in Tokyo in 2021，they were a third lower than in 2008.”可知，奥运会的观众人数正在减少。故选A。
6．How do the Olympics keep connected with society
A．By focusing on more popular and contemporary events.
B．By adding more sports attracting the younger generation.
C．By cutting down the number of traditional sports in the Games.
D．By hosting the Olympics in more countries with diverse cultures.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。由第二段中“To keep connected with society，the Olympics are expanding，adding what Mr Bach described as ‘youth-based’ sports.”可知，奥运会通过增加更多吸引年轻一代的运动项目来与社会保持联系。故选B。
7．What was viewers’ attitude toward the inaugural Olympic E-sports Week
A．Unclear. B．Satisfied.
C．Tolerant. D．Uninterested.
答案　D
解析　观点态度题。由倒数第二段中“The experiment resulted in widespread doubt.Peak viewership was only more than 22,000.”可知，首届奥运会电子竞技周引发了广泛质疑，观众很少，可推知观众对它不感兴趣。故选D。
8．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Differences between traditional sports and e-sports.
B．Advantages of culturally diverse nations in e-sports.
C．Potential benefits of including e-sports in the Olympics.
D．Suggestions on building a safe gaming environment for e-sports.
答案　C
解析　段落大意题。由最后一段中“The inclusion of e-sports would add income from media rights and sponsorship...For one，e-sports may bring Olympic glory to a more diverse group of countries and just like traditional sports，it can show three of the Olympic values: excellence，friendship and respect.”可知，最后一段主要讲将电子竞技纳入奥运会的潜在好处。故选C。
[词汇积累] 1．viewer n．观察者；观看者；电视观众 2．viewing figure收视率 3．risk doing sth冒做某事的风险 4．undoubtedly adv.无疑；肯定 5．include v．包含；包括→inclusion n．包含；包括 6．recognise v．承认；认出；赏识→recognisable adj.可辨认的；易于识别的→recognised adj.公认的；认可的 7．result in导致；造成 同义短语：lead to，contribute to，bring about，give rise to [句式分析] To keep connected with society，the Olympics are expanding，adding what Mr Bach described as “youth-based” sports. 分析：本句主干为the Olympics are expanding，To keep connected with society是目的状语，adding...为非谓语动词作状语，后面是what引导的宾语从句。 翻译：为了与社会保持联系，奥运会正在扩大规模，增加了巴赫所说的“以年轻人为基础”的体育项目。
