（一）2026年6月高考英语全国1卷-阅读B篇

Not long ago, my fifth-grade son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a word in a novel. "Look it up," I responded. "But my screen time is off," he said. I looked pointedly at the bookshelf that held at least three dictionaries, and Kevin sighed（叹气）dramatically. "Can't you just use your phone?" he asked. Suddenly it occurred to me that he did not even know how to use a dictionary. I took down one of the dictionaries, and we read it together for a few minutes before I handed it to him. It took him a few tries to find the word in question. While going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: "How can there be this many words?" After a while, he looked at me and asked, "Do you know all these words, Mom?" I smiled. "I definitely do not know all these words," I said. "But that's why this is one of my favorite books."

I had my first dictionary as a gift for my 13th birthday. I decided that I wanted to learn as many words as I could and started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these pencil marks for years, and when I went off to college, I packed that dictionary in my suitcase. Kevin wanted to see the dictionary. I felt a small pain in my chest. The dictionary was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college. "That's so sad," he said, "but you still know all those words, even without the book." I realized that this was true. I still made it through the next three years of college, even without the book. And it wasn't, ultimately, the dictionary that got me there—not really.

Now I understand that although my son may be learning differently, he is still learning. It's not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite.

What does Kevin usually do to get the meaning of a word?

A. Use electronic devices.

B. Consult a paper dictionary.

C. Guess from the context.

D. Turn to his English teacher.

How did Kevin feel while looking up the word in the dictionary?

A. Annoyed.

B. Disappointed.

C. Encouraged.

D. Astonished.

What can we learn about the author's first dictionary?

A. It helped her through college.

B. It was given to Kevin as a gift.

C. It bore witness to her efforts.

D. It was a valuable limited edition.

What has the author come to realize about learning?

A. It is never too late to start.

B. Motivation is what really matters.

C. Children need role models.

D. Dictionaries are still a useful tool.

主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者引导儿子使用纸质词典查单词，并由此回忆自己第一本词典的学习经历，最终感悟到学习的真谛在于好奇心和求知欲，而非工具本身。

第24题.A 细节理解。解析：根据第一段中Kevin说的"But my screen time is off"以及"Can't you just use your phone?"可知，他平时习惯用手机等电子设备查单词，因此他通常通过电子设备获取词义。故选A。

第25题.D 观点态度推断。解析：根据第二段中"While going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: 'How can there be this many words?'"可知，Kevin在翻字典时睁大眼睛，惊叹于单词的数量之多，表现出非常惊讶的情绪(astonished)。故选D。

第26题.C 细节理解。解析：根据第三段中"I decided that I wanted to learn as many words as I could and started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil... I continued to make these pencil marks for years"可知，作者在字典上用铅笔标记每一个查阅过的单词，这本字典见证了她多年的努力。故选C。

第27题.B 推理判断。解析：根据最后一段中"It's not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite."可知，作者认识到学习的关键不在于单词本身或学习方式，而在于求知的渴望、好奇心和欲望，即动机才是真正重要的。故选B。

译文

不久前，我上五年级的儿子凯文问我一本小说中一个单词的意思。"查一下，"我回答道。"但我的屏幕时间已经用完了，"他说。我特意看了看那个至少放着三本词典的书架，凯文夸张地叹了口气。"你就不能用手机吗？"他问道。突然我意识到，他甚至不知道怎么用词典。我取下其中一本词典，我们一起读了几分钟，然后我把它递给他。他试了好几次才找到那个词。翻着书页时，他睁大眼睛不停地说："怎么会有这么多单词？"过了一会儿，他看着我问："妈妈，这些单词你都知道吗？"我笑了。"我肯定不是所有这些单词都知道，"我说。"但这正是它是我最喜欢的书之一的原因。"

我13岁生日时收到了第一本词典作为礼物。我决定要尽可能多地学习单词，于是开始用铅笔在查过的每一个词条上做记号，以此来衡量自己的学习进度。这些铅笔标记我做了好几年，上大学时，我把那本词典装进了行李箱。凯文想看看那本词典。我感到胸口一阵隐痛。那本词典在我大学一年级结束时被偷了。"太可惜了，"他说，"但即使没有那本书，你还是知道所有那些单词。"我意识到这是真的。即使没有那本书，我还是顺利度过了接下来的三年大学时光。而且说到底，真正让我坚持下来的并不是那本词典——其实并不是。

现在我明白了，虽然我儿子学习的方式可能不同，但他仍然在学习。重要的不是单词本身，也不是我们学习它们的方式，而是那种想要了解它们的渴望、好奇心以及求知欲。

（二）2026年6月高考英语全国2卷-阅读B篇

Roland Reisley turned 101 years old in May and is in remarkable health. But that's not the thing he prides himself on. "I am the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the home he designed for me," Reisley said, sitting in the bright open living room of the home designed by the famous architect.

The house where Reisley has lived for 73 years is located in the woods of Westchester County, New York, just 30 miles north of Manhattan. It's one of 47 that make up the peaceful mid-20th-century modern village of Usonia.

Back in 1951, Reisley was just 26, newly married and ready to put down roots. He and his wife began looking for a place in Manhattan. But what they liked, they couldn't afford on his sound engineer's salary and what they could, they didn't like. Then they heard about Usonia. On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who'd already established homes there that they decided to join.

The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof, wood paneling, concrete floors and custom-made furniture. Over the decades, Reisley has opened his doors to visitors. The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Reisley said he's tried his best to be a good steward（管家）not just of the Wright creation he lives in, but all others as well. He co-founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, an organization engaged in the preservation of all of Wright's remaining buildings. Reisley believes that his devotion to the home and the community are what have kept him in such good health all of these years.

How does Reisley feel about having Wright as his house designer?

A. Honored.

B. Amused.

C. Stressed.

D. Inspired.

What made Reisley finally decide to settle down in Usonia?

A. Its natural environment.

B. Its large-sized houses.

C. The convenience of its location.

D. The warmth of its residents.

What can we learn about Reisley's house?

A. It is older than its owner.

B. It uses local materials.

C. It has a pointed roof.

D. It is put up for sale.

What can be inferred about Reisley from the last paragraph?

A. He is very attached to Wright buildings.

B. He is devoted to health education.

C. He is an expert in home decoration.

D. He is passionate about tourism.

主题语境：人与社会——文化遗产保护

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了罗兰·雷斯利作为著名建筑师弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特最后一位仍在世的客户，居住在其设计的房屋中，并参与创立保护协会，致力于保护赖特建筑遗产的故事。

第24题.A 推理判断。解析：根据第一段雷斯利说"我是弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特最后一位原始客户，仍住在他为我设计的房子里"的语气，以及后文他共同创立赖特建筑保护协会的行为，可以推断他对自己能住进赖特设计的房子感到非常荣幸。故选A。

第25题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第三段最后一句"On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who'd already established homes there that they decided to join."可知，是已入住居民的热情欢迎让他们最终决定定居在尤索尼亚，即居民的热情温暖打动了他。故选D。

第26题.B 细节理解。解析：根据第四段中的"The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof..."可知，房屋使用了当地材料，且屋顶是平的而非尖顶；文中未提及房屋比主人年纪大（主人101岁，房龄73年），也无出售信息。故选B。

第27题.A 推理判断。解析：从最后一段可知，雷斯利不仅尽力守护自己的房子，还共同创立了弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特建筑保护协会，致力于所有赖特遗存建筑的保护，由此可推断他对赖特建筑有深厚的情感，极为珍视。故选A。

译文

罗兰·雷斯利今年5月满101岁，身体状况非常好。但这并不是他引以为豪的事。"我是弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特最后一位仍在世的原始客户，至今仍住在他为我设计的房子里，"雷斯利坐在这位著名建筑师设计的明亮开阔的客厅里说道。

雷斯利已经在这栋房子里住了73年，它位于纽约州威彻斯特县的树林中，距曼哈顿仅30英里。它是构成宁静的20世纪中期现代村庄尤索尼亚的47栋房屋之一。

1951年，雷斯利只有26岁，刚结婚，准备扎根。他和妻子开始在曼哈顿找房子。但他们喜欢的，靠他音响工程师的薪水负担不起；他们能负担得起的，他们又不喜欢。然后他们听说了尤索尼亚。他们第一次外出探访时，就受到了已经在那里安家的10户家庭的热情欢迎，于是他们决定也加入其中。

这栋房子具有赖特的标志性特征。它使用当地材料建造，有平屋顶、木质护墙板、混凝土地板和定制家具。几十年来，雷斯利一直向访客敞开大门。这栋房子现已被列入国家史迹名录。

雷斯利说，他尽力做一个好的管家，不仅守护他居住的赖特作品，也守护所有其他作品。他联合创办了弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特建筑保护协会，该组织致力于保护赖特所有现存建筑。雷斯利认为，正是他对这栋房子和社区的热爱，让他这些年一直保持着良好的健康状况。

（三）2026年1月浙江省首考英语卷-阅读B篇

When you're a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can't be fun and that what they learn isn't relevant to the real world—much less to their personal interests. I've discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they're much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies.

No matter what subject I'm teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I'm a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we're covering friction, for example, I bring different tires（轮胎）into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications.

When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn't share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself.

What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I'm planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own.

What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author?

A. Students' misunderstandings about teachers.

B. Students' false assumptions about learning.

C. The irrelevance of textbooks to students' life.

D. The gap between teachers' and students' hobbies.

Why does the author bring tires into the classroom?

A. To teach an engineering skill.

B. To explain the structure of a car.

C. To share a real-life experience.

D. To illustrate a scientific concept.

What was the unexpected outcome of the author's teaching method?

A. A higher class attendance rate.

B. Better examination results.

C. A closer teacher-student bond.

D. More spare time for students.

Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher?

A. Innovative.

B. Humorous.

C. Decisive.

D. Sympathetic.

【答案解析】24-27 BDCA

主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述的是作者（一名教师）通过将个人爱好（如汽车）融入课堂教学，有效打破了学生对学习的误解，提升了他们的学习兴趣和参与度，并意外地促进了师生关系的建立，最终激发了学生寻找自身爱好的热情。

第24题.B 细节理解题。解析：文章首段明确指出，教师工作的很大一部分是"battling student misconceptions"，即纠正学生的错误观念，并具体说明学生常认为"learning can't be fun"和"what they learn isn't relevant to the real world"。因此，挑战在于学生对学习的错误假设。故选B。

第25题.D 例证目的题。解析：第二段中，作者以汽车爱好为例，提到在教物理时，会带入轮胎让学生进行实验，"to see how friction works in real-life applications"。因此，带入轮胎的目的是通过实际物品来阐释"摩擦力"这一科学概念。故选D。

第26题.C 细节推理题。解析：第三段明确提到，作者最初引入爱好是为了提升参与度和帮助理解，但"quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them"。这是作者未预料到的结果。故选C。

第27题.A 人物特征概括题。解析：全文围绕作者创造性地将个人爱好（如汽车）融入教学，以打破学生误解、提升兴趣和建立关系展开。这种突破常规、注重实践与联系的教学方法体现了"创新性"。故选A。

译文

当你是一名教师时，你工作的很大一部分就是与学生的错误观念作斗争。学生们经常带着这样的想法来到课堂：学习不可能有趣，他们所学的东西与现实世界无关——更不用说与他们的个人兴趣有关了。我发现，如果我向学生展示他们所学的东西与我的爱好有何关联，他们就更愿意将其与自己的个人兴趣联系起来，并培养自己的爱好。

无论我教什么科目，我都会想办法把我的爱好带进课堂。例如，我是一个汽车爱好者，所以当我教物理时，我会用我的汽车知识来为概念提供情境。比如，如果我们在讲摩擦力，我会把不同的轮胎带进教室，这样我的学生们就可以用它们进行实验，看看摩擦力在现实生活中是如何发挥作用的。

当我第一次把我的爱好带进课堂时，我关注的是这样做如何能提高参与度并帮助我的学生理解科学概念。但我很快了解到，这种做法还帮助我与他们建立了更牢固的关系。当我让他们看到我课外生活的一面时，一些同样对汽车感兴趣的学生与我产生了更多的共鸣，在我的课堂上也变得更加投入。即使是那些与我兴趣不同的学生，在我展示了自己的另一面后，似乎也更加投入了。

最初只是实验，现在更像是一种理念。即使是在备课时，我也倾向于思考如何把我的爱好带进来。我发现这样做能让我的教学充满活力，吸引学生参与，并向他们展示抽象概念是如何在现实世界中具体体现的。最棒的是，我对爱好的热情似乎激励了他们去寻找自己的热情所在。

题目翻译

根据作者的说法，什么对教师构成了挑战？

A. 学生对教师的误解。

B. 学生对学习的错误假设。

C. 教科书与学生生活无关。

D. 教师和学生爱好之间的差距。

作者为什么把轮胎带进教室？

A. 教授一项工程技能。

B. 解释汽车的结构。

C. 分享一次现实生活经历。

D. 阐释一个科学概念。

作者教学方法的意外结果是什么？

A. 更高的出勤率。

B. 更好的考试成绩。

C. 更紧密的师生关系。

D. 学生更多的空闲时间。

以下哪项最能描述作为教师的作者？

A. 创新的。

B. 幽默的。

C. 果断的。

D. 富有同情心的。

（四）2025年6月高考英语全国1卷-阅读B篇

In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A's, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who'd created these people, knew their subjects so well.

But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: "Why is writing important?" Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis（论点）statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn't strike them as important. This would have to change.

As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre（体裁）and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.

I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing's most powerful significance—the ability to connect people, to put us in another's skin, to teach us what it means to be human.

Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?

A. Ninth graders.

B. Students' parents.

C. Modern writers.

D. Fictional characters.

Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?

A. They were not given enough time.

B. They had a very limited vocabulary.

C. They misunderstood the question.

D. They had little interest in the topic.

What does the underlined word "staggering" in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Mixed.

B. Amazing.

C. Similar.

D. Disturbing.

What does the author's experience show?

A. Teaching is learning.

B. Still waters run deep.

C. Knowledge is power.

D. Practice makes perfect.

【答案解析】24-27 DDBA

主题语境：人与社会——文学、艺术与美育

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者在九年级写作课上通过调整写作任务，让学生从对写作缺乏兴趣转变为创作出充满共情的虚构故事，从而领悟到写作最重要的意义在于连接人们、让人设身处地理解他人。

第24题.D 细节理解。解析：文章第一段开头提到"a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father... and a modern-day Juliet..."，这些都是学生创作的虚构故事中的人物，并非真实存在的学生、家长或现代作家，因此属于虚构角色。故选D。

第25题.D 推理判断。解析：根据第二段，作者发现学生第一篇作文表现不佳是因为"the problem was the question itself... writing, in and of itself, simply didn't strike them as important"，即学生对"写作为什么重要"这个话题本身不感兴趣。故选D。

第26题.B 词义猜测。解析：第三段画线词"staggering"描述学生在新作业中的表现，后文提到学生们写出了10到20页的故事，题材多样且令作者感动，可推知结果令人惊讶、惊叹，与"amazing"同义。故选B。

第27题.A 推理判断。解析：作者原以为写作是交流工具，但学生的作品让她认识到写作最强大的意义是连接人们、理解人性。她从学生的创作中获得了新的领悟，体现了"教学也是一种学习"的道理。故选A。

译文

去年在我的九年级写作课上，我遇到了一个拯救了小镇的牛仔、一个要求儿子门门得A的严父，以及一个因父母拆散初恋而心碎离世的现代版朱丽叶。不止一次，我发现自己在想，我的学生们——这些人的创造者——怎么对他们的主题了解得如此之深。

但他们第一篇作文的情况却不同，那篇作文是关于这样一个问题："写作为什么重要？"大多数作文不到一页，几乎没有一篇包含可以被称为论点陈述的句子。我很震惊。然后我意识到问题出在问题本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写上好几页，但写作本身，根本没有让他们觉得重要。这必须改变。

随着新单元的开始，我让每个人就自己选择的一个健康相关话题写一篇议论文。这次他们觉得这个练习有趣得多。接下来的两次作业，一个个人叙事单元和一个创意写作工作坊，我只要求作品符合其体裁的规范，并包含一个论点。结果令人惊叹。学生们选择了各种各样的主题，交上了故事，每篇10到20页，里面的人物拓宽了我的视野，触动了我的心。

我走进课堂时相信，写作作为一种交流方式很重要。然而，我的学生向我展示了更重要的东西。当六月的最后一声铃响起时，我带着一本满是留言的毕业纪念册离开，那些留言关于写作最强大的意义——连接人们的能力，让我们设身处地地理解他人，教我们做人的意义。

题目翻译

第一段开头提到的人是谁？

A. 九年级学生。

B. 学生的父母。

C. 现代作家。

D. 虚构角色。

为什么学生们第一篇作文写得不好？

A. 他们没有足够的时间。

B. 他们的词汇量非常有限。

C. 他们误解了问题。

D. 他们对这个话题几乎没有兴趣。

第三段中画线词"staggering"是什么意思？

A. 混杂的。

B. 惊人的。

C. 相似的。

D. 令人不安的。

作者的经历说明了什么？

A. 教学即学习。

B. 静水流深。

C. 知识就是力量。

（五）2025年6月高考英语全国2卷-阅读B篇

Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford (LPCH). "Sometimes I don't like saying that I'm a teacher," says Ho. "People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that's not really what it is here."

"Here" is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It's a place of learning. About half of Ho's students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho's students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care.

Still, in room 386, academics don't come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. "If you're scared about something and thinking only about that, there's no way you're going to be able to learn," Ho says. "I'm a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that's what it means to be a hospital teacher."

There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho's class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don't give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. "I feel like it is a disservice to the kids," Ho says. "They think their teachers don't care about their schoolwork."

Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers（同龄人）outside the hospital. "I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems," says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. "It's about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow."

Who does Ho teach at LPCH?

A. Sick children.

B. Young nurses.

C. Medical students.

D. Patients' parents.

What is a characteristic of Ho's job?

A. Prioritizing academics.

B. Encouraging innovation.

C. Treating various diseases.

D. Playing multiple roles.

What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 4?

A. Offering regular lessons.

B. Paying extra attention.

C. Assigning no schoolwork.

D. Showing no sympathy.

How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good?

A. It eases peer pressure.

B. It helps them live in hope.

C. It frees them from aches.

D. It entertains them with stories.

When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. "You don't want to get fat" was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food—something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I'm careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade（劝阻）her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying "I think I'm too fat," my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.

According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. "There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I'm not convinced that food is one of them," she says. "It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren't necessarily healthy."

Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the "Division of Responsibility," where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume—even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.

Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. "When your child says, 'My stomach hurts,' you can say, 'Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,'" says Markey. "Let them feel like they have some control over it."

I've been trying out these strategies and I've found that when I'm less restrictive, they do make better decisions. "Feeding is a long game," says Markey. "The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don't eat it, they're seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks."

What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?

A. She is upset by her kids' weight.

B. She is critical of the way she was fed.

C. She is interested in making food.

D. She is particular about what she eats.

Which of the following would Markey disapprove of?

A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally.

B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.

C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks.

D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.

What should kids do according to the "Division of Responsibility"?

A. Make diet decisions on their own.

B. Share their food with other kids.

C. Eat up what is provided for them.

D. Help their parents do the dishes.

What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?

A. Costly.

B. Complex.

C. Workable.

D. Contradictory.

主题语境：人与自我——健康的生活方式

【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲的是作者反思儿时饮食教育对自己的伤害，结合专家观点，探讨家长应如何用"分工责任"法引导孩子自主选择食物，从而建立健康的饮食关系。

第24题.B 推理判断。解析：根据第一段中"It really messed up my relationship with food—something that took me years to overcome."可知，作者认为童年时被不断告诫"不要吃胖"的方式严重破坏了自己与食物的关系，表明她对自己被喂养的方式持批评态度。故选B。

第25题.C 观点态度。解析：Markey认为在食物问题上父母应"少说为妙"，并指出谈论食物会给孩子带来不必要的担忧和不安全感。向孩子解释吃零食的风险属于谈论食物话题，不符合Markey的主张。故选C。

第26题.A 细节理解。解析：根据"Division of Responsibility"的描述"...the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume"可知，孩子应该自己决定吃什么和吃多少，即自主做出饮食决定。故选A。

第27题.C 推理判断。解析：根据最后一段作者所说的"I've found that when I'm less restrictive, they do make better decisions."以及"Feeding is a long game"等表述可知，作者认为所尝试的策略是有效的、可行的。故选C。

译文

当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常被告知不要吃什么。"你不想变胖"在我的童年中不断重复。这真的破坏了我与食物的关系——我花了多年才克服。正因为如此，我很注意不把孩子们的体重与他们作为人的价值联系起来。我鼓励女儿选择健康的零食，经常劝阻她吃第二份甜点。但有一天，当我听到她说"我觉得我太胖了"时，我的心一沉。这让我怀疑，给她关于零食的建议是否在无意中产生了负面影响。

根据心理学教授夏洛特·马基的说法，食物是少数几个作为父母"少说为妙"的话题之一。"在育儿中有很多事情是值得谈一谈的，但我不认为食物是其中之一，"她说。"它只会给孩子制造一些不必要的担忧和不安全感。"

相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念，叫做"责任分工"，即父母在固定时间给孩子提供各种大多健康的食物，孩子们自己决定想吃什么、吃多少——即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多。

让孩子想吃什么就吃什么，也会让他们体验到自己决定的自然结果。"当你的孩子说'我肚子疼'时，你可以说，'嗯，你吃了很多含糖食物，如果你做一些其他选择，可能会感觉好一些，'"马基说。"让他们觉得自己对此有一些控制权。"

我一直在尝试这些策略，我发现当我不那么限制时，他们确实会做出更好的决定。"喂养是一场长期游戏，"马基说。"你家里有什么食物会产生巨大的差异。即使他们不吃，他们也在看着。然后突然间，它就通了。"

（七）2024年6月高考英语新1卷-阅读B篇

"I am not crazy," says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture（针灸）on a rabbit. "I am ahead of my time." If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh. He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians（兽医）now practicing "holistic" medicine—combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic（按摩疗法）and herbal medicine.

Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.

Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, "moves more easily and rides more comfortably" after a chiropractic adjustment.

Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. "Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well," he says. "I will do anything to help an animal. That's my job."

What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him?

A. He's odd.

B. He's strict.

C. He's brave.

D. He's rude.

Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?

A. He was trained in it at university.

B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.

C. He benefited from it as a patient.

D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.

What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment.

B. The complexity of veterinarians' work.

C. Examples of rare animal diseases.

D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine.

Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?

A. To prove Farber's point.

B. To emphasize its importance.

C. To praise veterinarians.

D. To advocate animal protection.

主题语境：人与社会——医疗与健康

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国兽医William Farber打破常规，采用针灸、按摩疗法和草药等"整体医学"为动物治病，并通过自身经历和成功病例，坚信这种疗法会越来越受欢迎的故事。

第24题.A 细节理解。解析：根据第一段中的"even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods"可知，同事们嘲笑他不同寻常的方法，认为他很古怪(odd)。故选A。

第25题.C 细节理解。解析：根据第二段可知，Farber在20年前患上严重背痛，尝试肌肉松弛药效果不佳，后来接受针灸治疗后病情改善，于是他想到"对人有效的或许对动物也有效"，便开始在宠物身上尝试。正是因为他自己作为患者从中受益，才决定给宠物用。故选C。

第26题.D 段落大意。解析：第三段举了狗Charlie在心脏病发作后通过治疗多活了五个月、马Nappy在接受按摩疗法后活动更轻松、骑乘更舒适的例子，都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。

第27题.A 写作目的。解析：文章最后一段Farber坚信整体疗法会日益流行，作者接着提到该协会会员从1982年的30人增长到700多人，是用数据来印证Farber的观点。故选A。

译文

"我没有疯，"威廉·法伯医生在给一只兔子做完针灸后不久说道。"我只是超前于我的时代。"如果他看起来有点防御性，那可能是因为甚至他的一些同事偶尔也嘲笑他不寻常的方法。但法伯确信他会笑到最后。他是现在实践"整体"医学的少数但越来越多的美国兽医之一——将传统西方治疗与针灸、按摩疗法和草药相结合。

法伯是科罗拉多州立大学的毕业生，最初是一名较为传统的兽医。20年前，当他遭受严重的背痛时，他对替代疗法产生了兴趣。他尝试了肌肉松弛药物，但几乎没有缓解。然后他尝试了针灸，一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现他在两三次治疗后有所改善。对兽医有效的方法似乎也可能对他的患者有效。因此，在研究了几年这些技术后，他开始将它们用于宠物。

利·廷代尔的狗查理有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让它安乐死，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦的，使她能够让它多活了五个月。普里西拉·杜因报告说，她的马纳皮在接受按摩调整后"移动更轻松，骑乘更舒适"。

法伯确信整体疗法会随着时间越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何指示意义的话，他可能是对的：自1982年以来，美国整体兽医医学协会的会员从30人增长到700多人。"有时它效果这么好让我感到惊讶，"他说。"我会做任何事情来帮助动物。那是我的工作。"

题目翻译

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there's a kiosk（小亭）for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.

"You enter the fare gates（检票口）and you'll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story," says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART. "You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story."

It's that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. "We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest," Trost says. "And as of right now, we've received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist."

Ridership on transit（交通）systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. "At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories," she says. And you'll never be without something to read.

Why did BART start the kiosk program?

A. To promote the local culture.

B. To discourage phone use.

C. To meet passengers' needs.

D. To reduce its running costs.

How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?

A. By popularity.

B. By length.

C. By theme.

D. By language.

What has Trost been doing recently?

A. Organizing a story contest.

B. Doing a survey of customers.

C. Choosing a print publisher.

D. Conducting interviews with artists.

What is Trost's opinion about BART's future?

A. It will close down.

B. Its profits will decline.

C. It will expand nationwide.

D. Its ridership will increase.

译文

你是否曾经到了火车站，才发现忘了带点东西来读？是的，我们都有手机，但我们中许多人仍然喜欢老派地读点印刷品。那么，有一个小亭子可以解决这个问题。至少在旧金山湾区是这样。

"你进入检票口，就会看到一个亮着的小亭子，它告诉你可以在那里获取一个一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的故事，"旧金山湾区快速交通系统（简称BART）的首席通讯官艾丽西亚·特罗斯特说。"你选择你想要的长度，它就会给你一个像收据一样的短篇故事。"

就这么简单。自去年三月该项目启动以来，乘客们已经打印了近两万篇短篇故事和诗歌。有些是经典短篇故事，有些是新的原创作品。特罗斯特还想把本地作家介绍给本地乘客。"我们想做一件事，向湾区的艺术家发出征集，让他们提交故事参加比赛，"特罗斯特说。"截至目前，我们已经收到了大约120份投稿。获奖故事会进入我们的小亭子，然后你就成了一个发表过作品的艺术家。"

过去半个世纪以来，全国公共交通系统的客流量一直在下降，那么短篇故事能拯救公共交通吗？特罗斯特认为可以。"归根结底，现在所有交通机构都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认为，仅仅因为短篇故事，我们就会吸引更多乘客，"她说。而且你永远不会没有东西可读。

（九）2024年6月高考英语全国甲卷-阅读B篇

Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals（声音）that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed.

Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like.

Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it!

What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph?

A. It's a survival skill.

B. It's taught by mother cats.

C. It's hard to interpret.

D. It's getting louder with age.

How does a pet cat assess different situations?

A. By listening for sounds.

B. By touching familiar objects.

C. By checking on smells.

D. By communicating with other cats.

Which best explains the phrase "take... up a notch" in paragraph 3?

A. Perform appropriately.

B. Move faster.

C. Act strangely.

D. Do better.

What is a suitable title for the text?

A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat.

B. Understanding Your Cat's Behavior.

C. Have Fun with Your Cat.

D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy.

主题语境：人与自然——人与动植物

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫的几种独特行为及其含义，包括用叫声交流、依靠嗅觉辨别环境和通过送礼表达爱意。

第24题.A 细节理解。解析：根据第一段中的"Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed."可知，小猫一出生就会用叫声来吸引母亲注意并获取食物，这是一种与生俱来的生存技能，而非母猫教授或随年龄变大声；同时文中提到主人可以解读猫的叫声。故选A。

第25题.C 细节理解。解析：根据第二段中的"another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells"可知，猫通过气味辨别不同情况，故选C。

第26题.D 词义猜测。解析：根据第三段前两句可知，狗以取物习惯闻名，而猫在这一行为上"take it up a notch"，随后解释猫会随机找东西送给主人来表达爱意，这是捕食者自古就有的习性，说明猫做得比狗更进一步。take...up a notch意为"做得更好、提升水平"，与Do better意思相符。故选D。

第27题.B 主旨大意。解析：文章第一段讲猫的叫声沟通，第二段讲猫依靠嗅觉，第三段讲猫送礼表达爱意，全文围绕如何理解猫的各种行为展开，B选项"Understanding Your Cat's Behavior"最适合作为标题。故选B。

译文

动物可以用很多方式表达自己的需求。例如，几乎所有动物都有独特的声音，它们依赖这些声音来求助、吓退危险动物或寻找庇护所。但猫是拥有惊人发声技巧的特殊生物。它们能够用喵喵声与人类进行完整的对话，而你也能够解读它。如果宠物猫饿了，它会不停地喵喵叫来吸引注意并寻找食物。然而，当猫在寻求关爱时，它们往往会发出拉长的、柔软的喵喵声。喵喵叫在小猫一出生就开始了，用它来获得母亲的注意并被喂养。

猫有许多 heightened 的感官，但它们的嗅觉相当令人印象深刻。它们用鼻子来评估环境，留意任何危险的迹象。它们会在选择放松的地方之前嗅出特定的区域。然而，猫能够区分不同情况的另一种方式是寻找熟悉的气味。你的猫可能会闻你的脸，把气味储存在记忆中，并在将来用它来认出你。这就是为什么大多数宠物猫能够立即判断出它们的主人是否接触过其他猫，而它们通常不喜欢这样。

狗以其令人印象深刻的取物习惯而闻名，但猫把这种行为提升了一个档次。许多猫会在外面找到随机的物品并把它们带给主人。这是一个非常古老的习惯，存在于各种食肉动物中。猫给主人带礼物是为了表达它们爱你。这些可爱的小猎手只是在做自时间开始以来就存在于它们天性中的事情。所以顺其自然吧！

When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call—not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions（试演）for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more "young professional". As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady's managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.

As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that there are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turned into a "mini community library": any passer-by can "borrow" a book from its shelves, return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.

For a few months after the "library" opened, I didn't bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folks conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I've discovered some great books!

If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly, no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.

What does the underlined word "it" in the first paragraph refer to?

A. The play.

B. The shared house.

C. The sofa.

D. The telephone box.

Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?

A. To place an urgent call.

B. To put up a notice.

C. To shelter from the rain.

D. To hold an audition.

What do we know about the "mini community library"?

A. It provides phone service for free.

B. Anyone can contribute to its collection.

C. It is popular among young readers.

D. Books must be returned within a month.

Why did the author start to use the "library"?

A. He wanted to borrow some love stories.

B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour.

C. He found there were excellent free books.

D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading.

主题语境：人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通

【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲的是作者从最后一次使用电话亭应急联络的经历谈起，对比当下电话亭被改造成免费社区图书馆的现状，并分享了自己从中发现阅读乐趣的感悟。

第24题.B 代词指代。解析：原句"I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more 'young professional'."，意为"我往沙发上铺了几条毯子，点上蜡烛，为的是让它看起来更有一点'年轻专业人士'的感觉"。联系前文可知，作者是在自己那间又旧又小的合租房里为话剧面试演员，因此所有布置都是为了美化那间"合租房"(the shared house)，故"it"指代的是房子本身。故选B。

第25题.A 细节理解。解析：根据第一段末尾和第二段开头可知，作者出门倒垃圾时被锁在屋外，手机又落在屋里，急需找人送钥匙。恰巧街对面有个电话亭，于是用它拨打查号台联系房东的代理，最终及时拿到备用钥匙。这个过程的核心是"打一个紧急电话"。故选A。

第26题.B 细节理解。解析：由第三段最后一句可知，任何路过的人都可以从书架上"借走"一本书，之后归还，或者用自己藏书中的另一本书替换原来的那本。这说明每个人都有权为这个迷你图书馆的馆藏做出贡献。故选B。

第27题.C 细节理解。解析：最后一段作者提到，起初他懒得去看这个图书馆，以为里面全是不入流的爱情小说。后来注意到有人把成箱的各类书籍放进去，而且都是免费的，于是"这个无法抗拒的价位"鼓励他开始尝试阅读许多自己平时根本不会买的书，并发现了不少佳作。这说明促使他开始使用图书馆的直接原因是"发现有优秀的免费书籍"。故选C。

译文

你最后一次使用电话亭是什么时候？我是说打一个真正的电话——不是躲雨。很久以前了，对吧？我最后一次出于本来目的使用电话亭是……2006年。我当时在伦敦我那间又旧又小的合租房里为我的一部话剧进行试演。为了给一些有才华的演员留下好印象，让他们免费来为我工作，我在沙发上铺了几条毯子，点上蜡烛，让它看起来更有"年轻专业人士"的感觉。当我冲出门外去倒空废纸篓时，门在我身后关上了。我突然被锁在了外面。我的手机在里面，但幸运的是街对面有一个电话亭。于是，我拨打了查号台，接通了房东的管理代理，让人给我送来了一把备用钥匙，刚好赶在演员们到达之前回到屋里。

由于我上次使用电话亭已经是很多年前的事了，所以我家附近不再有任何公共电话，我本不该感到惊讶。最后一个还站着的电话亭刚刚被改造成了一个"迷你社区图书馆"：任何路过的人都可以从它的书架上"借"一本书，之后归还，或者用自己收藏的另一本书来替换它。

"图书馆"开放后的几个月里，我懒得去看一眼，因为我以为里面会塞满俗套的爱情小说。后来我注意到一些人在大扫除时把一箱箱各种主题的厚书放在那里。而且这些书是免费的。这个无与伦比的价格点鼓励我尝试了几十本我平时根本不会考虑买的书。我发现了一些很棒的书！

如果我再次被锁在屋外，我当地的电话亭将遗憾地不再能帮我联系到钥匙。但在我等妻子来救我的时候，它肯定能让我不无聊。

When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.

After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria（细菌）? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.

The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge（污泥）. First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.

Over the years John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage（污水）from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. "Ecological design" is the name John gives to what he does. "Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor," he says. "You put organisms in new relationships and observe what's happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair."

What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?

A. He was fond of traveling.

B. He enjoyed being alone.

C. He had an inquiring mind.

D. He longed to be a doctor.

Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?

A. To feed the animals.

B. To build an ecosystem.

C. To protect the plants.

D. To test the eco-machine.

What is the author's purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?

A. To review John's research plans.

B. To show an application of John's idea.

C. To compare John's different jobs.

D. To erase doubts about John's invention.

What is the basis for John's work?

A. Nature can repair itself.

B. Organisms need water to survive.

C. Life on Earth is diverse.

D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.

【答案解析】24-27 CDBA

主题语境：人与自然——环境保护与生态修复

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了John Todd受自然界自净能力启发，通过研究动植物特性，发明"生态机器"来处理污水和污染物，并将这一生态设计理念成功应用于多个实际项目的故事。

第24题.C 推理判断。解析：根据前两段描述，John Todd小时候就喜欢观察自然如何解决问题（如浑浊溪水变清澈），长大后继续研究哪些植物能吸收细菌、哪些鱼能吃致癌物，这充分说明他具有强烈的好奇心和探究精神(an inquiring mind)。故选C。

第25题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第三段开头"The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge."可知，John的任务是清除污泥中的有害物质，他往罐子里加入污泥是为了验证他构建的生态系统(eco-machine)能否有效净化污染物，即测试机器的功能。故选D。

第26题.B 写作意图。解析：作者在前文描述了John的生态机器实验成功，之后提到他承担了许多大项目，福州运河净化项目正是作为一个具体实例，用来展示他的生态设计理念在实际大规模工程中的应用成果。故选B。

第27题.A 推理判断。解析：根据最后一段John说的"You put organisms in new relationships and observe what's happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair."可知，他工作的核心理念是让新组建的生态系统发展出自我修复的能力，而这一理念的根本依据就是自然界本身就具备自我修复的能力（如第一段溪水自净的例子）。故选A。

译文

当约翰·托德还是个孩子时，他喜欢探索家周围的树林，观察大自然如何解决问题。例如，一条脏溪流在流过植物、沿着微小生物居住的岩石后，往往会变得清澈。长大后，约翰开始思考，这个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的垃圾。

在大学学习了农业、医学和渔业后，约翰回到观察自然和提出问题。为什么某些植物能捕获有害细菌？哪些鱼能吃致癌化学物质？他想，如果把动物和植物以正确的方式组合起来，也许他可以像大自然那样清理废物。他决定建造一个他后来称之为"生态机器"的东西。

约翰给自己设定的任务是从一些污泥中去除有害物质。首先，他建造了一系列相互连接的透明玻璃纤维罐。然后他到当地的池塘和溪流中带回了一些植物和动物。他把它们放在罐子里等待。一点一点地，这些不同种类的生命相互适应，形成了自己的生态系统。几周后，约翰加入了污泥。他对结果感到惊讶。生态机器中的植物和动物把污泥当作食物，开始吃它！几周之内，它全部被消化了，剩下的只有纯净的水。

多年来，约翰承担了许多大工程。他开发了一个类似温室的设施，处理南伯灵顿1600户家庭的污水。他还设计了一台生态机器来净化中国东南部城市福州的运河水质。"生态设计"是约翰给他所做事情起的名字。"地球上的生命就像发明家的一盒备用零件，"他说。"你把生物体放在新的关系中，观察发生了什么。然后你让这些新系统发展出自己的自我修复方式。"

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.

Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. "The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks," she says. "They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful." Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.

Urban Sprouts' classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.

Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. "We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently," Jaramillo says. She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. "They get outside," she says, "and they feel successful."

What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?

A. She used to be a health worker.

B. She grew up in a low-income family.

C. She owns a fast food restaurant.

D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.

What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?

A. The kids' parents distrusted her.

B. Students had little time for her classes.

C. Some kids disliked garden work.

D. There was no space for school gardens.

Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?

A. Far-reaching.

B. Predictable.

C. Short-lived.

D. Unidentifiable.

What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Rescuing School Gardens

B. Experiencing Country Life

C. Growing Vegetable Lovers

D. Changing Local Landscape

【答案解析】24-27 DCAC

主题语境：人与社会——公益事业与志愿服务

【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了由Abby Jaramillo等人发起的Urban Sprouts学校花园项目，通过园艺活动帮助低收入社区的学生改变对蔬菜的态度、改善饮食习惯，并产生多方面积极影响的故事。

第24题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第一段第一句"Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts..."可知，Jaramillo与另一位老师共同创办了Urban Sprouts项目，她是该项目的发起人之一。故选D。

第25题.C 细节理解。解析：根据第二段最后一句"Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new."可知，项目开始时部分学生害怕昆虫、厌恶泥土，即对菜园劳动有抵触情绪。故选C。

第26题.A 推理判断。解析：文章后三段指出，项目不仅让孩子吃更多蔬菜，还促使他们回家与父母沟通、改变家庭饮食习惯，甚至把种子带回家开辟自家菜园；此外，对情绪管理有困难的特殊教育学生也产生了镇静效果。这些影响超出了课堂，延伸至家庭，并在多方面持续显现，可见其影响是"深远的(Far-reaching)"。故选A。

第27题.C 主旨大意。解析：全文围绕Urban Sprouts项目如何将原本不爱蔬菜的学生转变为主动种植、食用蔬菜的"蔬菜爱好者"展开。标题"Growing Vegetable Lovers"一语双关，既指"种植蔬菜"也指"培养蔬菜爱好者"，精准概括文章核心。故选C。

译文

翻土、拔草、收白菜，对初中和高中生来说听起来是艰苦的工作。一开始确实如此，艾比·哈拉米略说，她和另一位老师在四所低收入学校共同创办了Urban Sprouts学校花园项目。该项目旨在帮助学生培养科学技能、环境意识和健康的生活方式。

哈拉米略的学生住在新鲜食物和绿色空间不容易找到、快餐店数量超过杂货店的社区。"孩子们真的带着一袋袋零食和大瓶软饮料来上学，"她说。"他们来到我们这里时认为蔬菜很糟糕，泥土很糟糕，昆虫很糟糕。"虽然有些学生最初害怕昆虫、厌恶泥土，但大多数人都渴望尝试新事物。

Urban Sprouts在两所初中和两所高中开设课程，包括动手实验，如土壤测试、花与种子解剖、新鲜或干燥农产品的品尝，以及在花园里劳动。每年有几次，学生们烹饪自己种植的蔬菜，偶尔还会为全校制作沙拉。

项目评估显示，孩子们因为课程而吃了更多蔬菜。"我们有学生说他们回家和父母谈了，现在他们的饮食不同了，"哈拉米略说。她补充说，项目的好处不仅限于营养。有些学生对园艺如此感兴趣，以至于把种子带回家开辟自己的菜园。此外，在花园里劳动似乎对哈拉米略的特殊教育学生有镇静效果，他们中许多人都有情绪控制问题。"他们到户外去了，"她说，"他们感觉自己成功了。"

（十三）2023年6月高考英语全国甲卷-阅读B篇

Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY (do-it-yourself). Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day's work was rewarded with: £5 in pocket money. She says: "I'm sure I wasn't much of a help to start with, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was back breaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills."

Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy（租期）comes to an end. She adds: "I've moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures, so, it's been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I've moved out."

With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. Two fifth wish to increase the value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.

Which is closest in meaning to "a dab hand" in paragraph 1?

A. An artist.

B. A winner.

C. A specialist.

D. A pioneer.

Why did Terri's grandfather give her £5 a day?

A. For a birthday gift.

B. As a treat for her work.

C. To support her DIY projects.

D. To encourage her to take up a hobby.

How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented?

A. By making it look like before.

B. By furnishing it herself.

C. By splitting the rent with a roommate.

D. By cancelling the rental agreement.

What trend in DIY does the research show?

A. It is becoming more costly.

B. It is getting more time-consuming.

C. It is turning into a seasonal industry.

D. It is gaining popularity among females.

【答案解析】24-27 CBAD

主题语境：人与自我——健康的生活方式、积极的生活态度

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了女子Terri Bolton从小跟祖父学得一手DIY技能，借此独立打理生活、避免租房押金损失，并引出调查发现女性正成为DIY主力军的趋势。

第24题.C 词义猜测。解析：第一段先说她"is a dab hand when it comes to DIY"，紧接着用"Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself"进行解释，说明她擅长动手，什么都能自己做，因此"a dab hand"在此指能手、专家，与specialist意思最接近。故选C。

第25题.B 细节理解。解析：第二段明确提到"A day's work was rewarded with: £5 in pocket money"，即每天跟着祖父干活后得到5英镑零花钱，这是对她工作的奖励，相当于犒劳。故选B。

第26题.A 细节理解。解析：第三段Terri说"it's been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I've moved out"，她会把墙上钉画留下的洞补好、重新刷漆，让房间恢复原样，从而避免了扣款，即通过使房间看起来像入住前一样。故选A。

第27题.D 细节理解。解析：最后一段用"Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge"指出，虽然DIY传统上被视为男性爱好，但研究显示如今女性正在引领这一潮流，说明DIY在女性中越来越受欢迎。故选D。

译文

特里·博尔顿在DIY（自己动手做）方面是个能手。她擅长安装架子和拼装家具，从不花钱请别人做她自己能做的事。她把这些技能归功于已故的祖父、建筑工人德里克·劳埃德。从六岁起，现年26岁的特里就在学校假期跟着德里克去上班。一天的工作得到的奖励是：5英镑零花钱。她说："我敢肯定，一开始我帮不上什么忙，刷房间、给整栋房子铺地板。这花了好几周，是累断腰的活儿，但我知道他为我的技能感到骄傲。"

特里现在和朋友们在伦敦西南部的旺兹沃思租了一栋房子，她说DIY还让她在租期结束时免于损失押金。她补充说："我搬过很多次家，我总是喜欢把房间个性化，挂上画，所以知道如何补洞、重新粉刷房间以避免搬出时被收费是很有用的。"

随着未来几周可能有数百万人进行DIY项目，新研究显示，超过一半的人计划充分利用漫长温暖的夏日来完成工作。每个项目的平均花费约为823英镑。三分之二的人旨在提高在家中的舒适度。五分之二的人希望增加房子的价值。虽然DIY传统上被视为男性的爱好，但研究显示，现在女性正在引领这一潮流。

（十四）2023年6月高考英语全国乙卷-阅读B篇

Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape（风景）can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation. Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.

Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.

One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil's Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz（石英）rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route（路线）so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.

How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest?

A. By teaming up with other photographers.

B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks.

C. By studying the geographical conditions.

D. By creating settings in the corn fields.

What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author?

A. Proper time management.

B. Good shooting techniques.

C. Adventurous spirit.

D. Distinctive styles.

What can we infer from the author's trip with friends to Devil's Lake?

A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.

B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.

C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected.

D. They had problems with their equipment.

How does the author find his photos taken at Devil's Lake?

A. Amusing.

B. Satisfying.

C. Encouraging.

D. Comforting.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名中西部风景摄影师，在面对当地缺乏地理变化这一挑战时，如何通过在乡村或州立公园寻找拍摄机会、把握时机来创作，并以一次在魔鬼湖的拍摄经历为例，反思了时间管理和准备工作的关键性。

第24题.B 细节理解。解析：根据第一段"Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar... I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way."可知，作者面对中西部景观单一、缺乏地理变化的挑战，应对方式是与朋友前往州立公园或乡村进行拍摄。故选B。

第25题.A 细节理解。解析：作者在第二段明确指出"Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography"（在正确的时间出现在正确的地点至关重要），并在讲述魔鬼湖的经历后，在结尾处反思若当时能"managed my time wisely"照片会更好。全文始终在强调时机把握和时间管理的重要性。故选A。

第26题.C 推理判断。解析：根据第三段"we did not mark the route so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time"可知，由于没标路线，他们差点完全错过日落，等找到位置后只能在极短时间内仓促架设设备，由此可推断，他们到达拍摄点的时间比预期的要晚。故选C。

第27题.B 观点态度。解析：作者在第三段结尾说"looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots"，认为这些照片是自己最好的作品之一，这说明他对这些照片是感到满意的。故选B。

译文

住在爱荷华州并试图成为一名专攻风景的摄影师可能相当具有挑战性，主要是因为这个玉米之州缺乏地理变化。尽管中西部的风景往往相当相似，要么是农田要么是高速公路，但有时我会在山丘或湖泊中发现独特的个性。为了拍摄一些风景照，我最远开车四个小时，在十分钟的时间窗口内拍摄。我倾向于和几个朋友一起去州立公园或乡下冒险，沿途拍照。

在正确的时间出现在正确的地点对任何风格的摄影都是决定性的。我经常早早出发去寻找合适的目的地，这样我就可以提前架好设备，避免错过我想要拍摄的时刻。由于只在最佳时刻前五分钟到达现场，我已经错过了许多美丽的日落/日出。

有一次我和朋友们开了三个小时的车去威斯康星州的魔鬼湖，攀登湖边紫色的石英岩。在我们发现一条悬在一堆岩石上的疯狂的路后，我们决定在日落时拍摄这个场景。这个位置使我们能够越过湖面，以日落为背景。由于离日落还有空闲时间，我们设法离开这个位置爬得更高。然而，我们没有标记路线，所以最后几乎完全错过了日落。一旦我们找到那个地方，在有限的时间内架设灯光和相机让人压力很大。不过，回头看这些照片，它们是我最好的一些作品，尽管如果我做好准备并明智地管理时间，它们本可以好得多。

题目翻译

作者如何应对在中西部作为风景摄影师的挑战？

A. 与其他摄影师合作。

（十五）2023年1月浙江省首考英语卷-阅读B篇

Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you're looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.

I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I've learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you'll find encouraging if you're doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.

Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.

Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn't need. Since I had my own toiletries（洗漱用品）, I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won't entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.

As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you're doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won't do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged. So here is my advice: Lead by action.

What do the underlined words "jump on that bandwagon" mean in the first paragraph?

A. Share an apartment with you.

B. Join you in what you're doing.

C. Transform your way of living.

D. Help you to make the decision.

What was the attitude of the author's father toward buying groceries with jars?

A. He disapproved of it.

B. He was favorable to it.

C. He was tolerant of it.

D. He didn't care about it.

What can we infer about the author?

A. She is quite good at cooking.

B. She respects others' privacy.

C. She enjoys being a housewife.

D. She is a determined person.

What is the text mainly about?

A. How to get on well with other family members.

B. How to have one's own personal space at home.

C. How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.

D. How to control the budget when buying groceries.

主题语境：人与自然——环境保护

【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲的是作者结合自身经历，分享了如何在家人不完全支持的情况下践行零浪费生活方式，并建议通过以身作则来影响他人。

第24题.B 词义猜测。解析：根据第一段上下文，作者提到如果想要过更可持续的生活，身边人不一定准备"jump on that bandwagon"，结合后文作者丈夫和父母并不完全像她一样零浪费，可以推断出该短语意为加入你的行动、跟你一起做同样的事。故选B。

第25题.A 观点态度。解析：文章第二段提到，父亲看到作者用罐子购买零浪费食品后，评价说"how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere"，且这让作者感到有些气馁，可见父亲对此持不赞同的态度。故选A。

第26题.D 推理判断。解析：从文中可以看出，尽管父亲不赞同、丈夫也不完全配合，作者依然坚持清理自己的房间、改造洗漱用品、单独准备自己的零浪费食材，并在受挫后继续行动，最终总结出"以身作则"的建议。这充分体现出她是一个意志坚定的人。故选D。

第27题.C 主旨大意。解析：全文围绕作者在家人不完全支持零浪费的情况下，如何从个人空间、个人用品、做饭等方面做出改变，并最终提出"用行动引领"的建议，核心是在家庭环境中实践零浪费生活方式。故选C。

译文

和室友住在一起？身边有朋友和家人？如果你想过一种更可持续的生活方式，很可能你身边的人并不都准备好加入这个行列。

五年前我开始转向零浪费生活方式时就经历了这一点，因为当时我和父母住在一起，而我和丈夫也继续经历着这一点，因为他并不像我一样完全零浪费。不过，我一路走来学到了一些东西，如果你正在尽最大努力想办法在一个并不总是支持你的家庭中做出改变，我希望这些对你有所鼓励。

零浪费在几年前是一场激进的生活方式运动。我记得给父母看了一段比娅·约翰逊的视频，分享我觉得用罐子买杂货、产生这么少垃圾会有多酷！几天后，我带着第一批零浪费杂货罐子回来了，我爸爸评论说我到处带着罐子有多傻。这让人有点泄气。

然而，随着减少浪费的月份继续，我在自己力所能及的范围内做了我能做的。我有自己的卧室，所以我努力清除我不需要的东西。由于我有自己的洗漱用品，我能够开始把我的日常习惯个性化，使其更可持续。我还主动时不时做饭，所以我在橱柜里分出了一小块地方放我自己的零浪费杂货。也许你的家庭不会完全转变，但你可以对自己的个人空间有一定的控制权，做出你想要的改变。

当你做出生活方式的改变时，你可能会发现自己想要为自己说话，如果别人评论你正在做的事情，这可能会变成一场全家辩论。如果有不认同你的人，你的话可能不会起多大作用，而且常常会让你感到更加泄气。所以这是我的建议：用行动引领。

Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula（芝麻菜）was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.

In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, "food waste goes against the moral grain," as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month's cover story. It's jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from "ugly" (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.

Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, "if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world."

If that's hard to understand, let's keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time—but for him, it's more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington. D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished（有瑕疵的）produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.

Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don't think. "Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won't eat," Curtin says.

What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?

A. We pay little attention to food waste.

B. We waste food unintentionally at times.

C. We waste more vegetables than meat.

D. We have good reasons for wasting food.

What is a consequence of food waste according to the text?

A. Moral decline.

B. Environmental harm.

C. Energy shortage.

D. Worldwide starvation.

What does Curtin's company do?

A. It produces kitchen equipment.

B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.

C. It helps local farmers grow fruits.

D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.

What does Curtin suggest people do?

A. Buy only what is needed.

B. Reduce food consumption.

C. Go shopping once a week.

D. Eat in restaurants less often.

主题语境：人与社会——环境保护与社会责任

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲的是食物浪费的严重性及其对环境的影响，并通过作者的个人经历和公益组织的案例，呼吁人们在日常生活中减少食物浪费。

第24题.B 推理判断。解析：作者在第一段讲述自己因计划改变而忘记食用芝麻菜，导致其变质被扔的故事，目的是以亲身经历为例，说明人们有时并非故意，而是不经意间就造成了食物浪费。文中"unthinkingly bought way too much"也印证了这一点。故选B。

第25题.B 细节理解。解析：根据第三段"Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources... That makes food waste an environmental problem"以及"it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases"可知，食物浪费的一个严重后果是对环境的危害。故选B。

第26题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第四段"Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen... which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals"可知，Curtin的公司回收食物并将其做成健康的餐食，即用原本会被丢弃的食物来制作餐食。故选D。

第27题.A 细节理解。解析：根据最后一段Curtin所说"not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping"可知，他建议人们按需购买，不要过量采购。故选A。

译文

像我们大多数人一样，我尽量注意不浪费食物。芝麻菜是用来做一道漂亮的绿色沙拉的，为一顿烤鸡晚餐增色。但我最终工作到很晚。然后朋友们打电话来邀请吃晚饭。我把鸡塞进了冰箱。但日子一天天过去，芝麻菜坏了。更糟的是，我不假思索地买了太多；我扔掉的那些本可以做六份沙拉。

在一个每年近8亿人挨饿的世界里，"食物浪费违背道德准则"，正如伊丽莎白·罗伊特在本月的封面故事中写道。有多少完好的食物被扔掉，令人瞠目结舌——从被杂货商拒绝的"丑陋"（但完全可以吃）的蔬菜，到被扔进餐馆垃圾桶的大量未吃的菜肴。

生产没人吃的食物浪费了用于种植它的水、燃料和其他资源。这使得食物浪费成为一个环境问题。事实上，罗伊特写道，"如果食物浪费是一个国家，它将是世界第三大温室气体排放国。"

如果这很难理解，让我们把它简化到我冰箱后面的芝麻菜。迈克·柯廷一直看到我的芝麻菜故事——但对他来说，更像是12箱捐赠的草莓快要过期了。柯廷是华盛顿特区中央厨房的首席执行官，该机构回收食物并将其变成健康的餐食。去年，它通过接受捐赠和收集本来会在地里腐烂的有瑕疵的农产品，回收了超过807,500磅的食物。那些草莓呢？志愿者会清洗、切割、冷冻或干燥它们，供以后做饭使用。

这些方法似乎显而易见，但我们常常就是不去想。"每个人都可以在减少浪费方面发挥作用，无论是每周购物时不买超过需要的食物，还是要求餐馆不要包括你不会吃的配菜，"柯廷说。

（十七）2022年6月高考英语新2卷-阅读B篇

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don't even realize it's new. For them, it's just normal.

This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children's book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures—a perfect match for his age.

Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes（戳）the page with his finger. What's up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?

Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.

Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It's an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites.

There's one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province. Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star—two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.

What do the underlined words "hit home for me" mean in paragraph 2?

A. Provided shelter for me.

B. Became very clear to me.

C. Took the pressure off me.

D. Worked quite well on me.

Why did the kid poke the storybook?

A. He took it for a tablet computer.

B. He disliked the colorful pictures.

C. He was angry with his grandpa.

D. He wanted to read it by himself.

What does the author think of himself?

A. Socially ambitious.

B. Physically attractive.

C. Financially independent.

D. Digitally competent.

What can we learn about the author as a journalist?

A. He lacks experience in his job.

B. He seldom appears on television.

C. He manages a video department.

D. He often interviews internet stars.

主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者发现2岁孙子把纸质故事书当成平板电脑去戳，由此意识到数字时代对儿童认知的深刻影响，并结合自己作为记者参与视频拍摄、成为"网络红人"的经历，展现了老一辈积极适应新媒体的态度。

第24题.B 词义猜测。解析：划线短语"hit home for me"出现在作者论述"许多年轻人已把多媒体工具视为平常"之后，紧接着讲述与孙子的亲身经历，正是这次经历让作者真切地体会到这一点。根据语境，"hit home"意为"使深刻意识到、变得十分清晰"，与B项"Became very clear to me"意思一致。故选B。

第25题.A 细节理解。解析：根据第五段"His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that."可知，孩子习惯了平板电脑上戳一下图片就会动的互动方式，因此误以为故事书也是如此，才不断用手指去戳书页。A项"他把它当成了平板电脑"与文意相符。故选A。

第26题.D 推理判断。解析：根据第六段作者的自述"I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites."可知，作者认为自己虽然上了年纪，但在数字技能方面并不落伍，能够编辑视频、制作音频、使用移动支付甚至建网站，可见他对自己数字能力的评价是"能够胜任的"。D项"Digitally competent"准确概括了这一自我认知。故选D。

第27题.B 细节理解。解析：根据第七段"There's one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio."可知，作者作为记者很少面对镜头，自嘲长了一张"适合电台的脸"，因此B项"他很少在电视上露面"正确。后文虽提及他参与视频项目，但这恰好说明了例外情况，并不能否定他平时很少出镜的事实。故选B。

译文

我们记者生活在一个新的叙事时代，有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到它是新的。对他们来说，它只是正常的。

春节期间，当我和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上时，这一点让我深有体会。我带了一本儿童书来读。它有简单的文字和彩色的图片——与他的年龄完美匹配。

想象一下：我的孙子坐在我的腿上，我把书举在前面，这样他就能看到图片。当我读的时候，他伸出手，用手指戳书页。这是怎么回事？我想，他只是喜欢那些图片。然后我翻了一页继续读。他更用力地戳书页。我差点把书掉了。我很困惑：这孩子有什么问题吗？

然后我意识到发生了什么。他实际上对书很陌生。他的父亲经常用一台平板电脑逗他玩，那台平板电脑里装满了彩色图片，一戳它们就会活起来。他以为我的故事书也是这样。

对不起，孩子。这本书不属于你的高科技世界。它是一件过时的、没有生命的东西。一件古董，就像你的祖父一样。好吧，我可能老了，但就数字技术而言，我还没有无可救药。我编辑视频、制作音频。我使用移动支付。我甚至建过网站。

然而，在我的新媒体经验中有一个明显的空白：我很少出现在镜头前，因为我有一张适合电台的脸。但这并没有阻止《中国日报》上周邀请我为一个关于京津冀一体化的视频项目分享一个个人故事。不管怎样，爷爷现在是个网络明星——两分钟的名气！我保证不会让它冲昏头脑。但我会确保我两岁的孙子在他的平板电脑上看到它。

题目翻译

第二段中画线短语"hit home for me"是什么意思？

A. 为我提供了住所。

B. 对我来说变得非常清晰。

C. 卸下了我的压力。

D. 对我很有效。

孩子为什么戳故事书？

（十八）2022年6月高考英语全国甲卷-阅读B篇

Goffin's cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a "keyhole" in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped "keys" to choose from. Inserting the correct "key" would let out the nut.

In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical（对称的）shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an "allocentric frame of reference". In the experiment, Goffin's cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin's cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.

The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues（线索）, or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.

How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment?

A. By following instructions.

B. By using a tool.

C. By turning the box around.

D. By removing the lid.

Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text?

A. Using a key to unlock a door.

B. Telling parrots from other birds.

C. Putting a ball into a round hole.

D. Grouping toys of different shapes.

What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos?

A. How far they are able to see.

B. How they track moving objects.

C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.

D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.

Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers

B. Cockatoos: Independent Learners

C. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers

D. Cockatoos: Skilful Shape-Sorters

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉具备与人类两岁幼儿相似的形状识别和工具使用能力，并通过实验证明了它们拥有"异我中心参照系"的认知能力。

第24题.B 细节理解。解析：根据第一段中"the birds were given five differently shaped 'keys' to choose from. Inserting the correct 'key' would let out the nut."可知，鹦鹉通过选择并插入正确形状的"钥匙"这一工具来获取坚果，故选B。

第25题.C 细节理解。解析：根据第二段第一句"babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age"，一岁婴儿可以将圆形物体放入圆形孔洞，这与选项C"把球放进圆孔"直接对应，故选C。

第26题.D 细节理解。解析：根据最后一段"The next step... is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues, or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections."可知，后续实验旨在探究鹦鹉在选择形状时是否也依赖触觉，故选D。

第27题.D 主旨大意。解析：全文围绕鹦鹉的形状分类能力展开，第一段引出实验，第二段将其与人类幼儿对比并阐释认知机制，最后一段展望后续研究。选项D准确概括了全文核心——鹦鹉是熟练的形状分类者。故选D。

译文

戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉，一种原产于澳大拉西亚的小型鹦鹉，已被证明具有与人类两岁幼儿相似的形状识别能力。虽然野生的鹦鹉不以使用工具著称，但在笼养条件下，这些鸟已被证明擅长使用工具。在最近的一项实验中，凤头鹦鹉面前放着一个里面有一颗坚果的盒子。盒子透明的前面有一个几何形状的"钥匙孔"，鹦鹉们有五把不同形状的"钥匙"可供选择。插入正确的"钥匙"就能放出坚果。

在人类中，婴儿大约一岁时就能把圆形放入圆孔，但还需要再过一年才能对不太对称的形状做同样的事。这种认识到一个形状需要朝特定方向转动才能适配的能力被称为"异我中心参照系"。在实验中，戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉在大多数情况下仅凭视觉识别就能为任务选择正确的工具。在使用试错法的地方，凤头鹦鹉在类似测试中表现得比猴子更好。这表明戈芬氏凤头鹦鹉在空间中移动物体时确实拥有异我中心参照系，与两岁幼儿相似。

根据研究人员的说法，下一步是尝试弄清楚凤头鹦鹉是仅依赖视觉线索，还是在选择形状时也使用触觉。

题目翻译

在实验中，凤头鹦鹉如何从盒子里拿到坚果？

A. 通过遵循指令。

B. 通过使用工具。

C. 通过转动盒子。

D. 通过取下盖子。

根据本文，人类一岁幼儿最可能完成哪项任务？

A. 用钥匙开门。

B. 区分鹦鹉和其他鸟类。

C. 把球放进圆孔。

D. 给不同形状的玩具分组。

后续测试旨在发现关于凤头鹦鹉的什么？

A. 它们能看多远。

B. 它们如何追踪移动物体。

C. 它们是否比猴子更聪明。

D. 它们在测试中是否使用触觉。

哪个适合作为本文的标题？

A. 凤头鹦鹉：快速纠错者

In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N.Y.—Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff's granddaughter.

Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken. They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.

In Wickenden's book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls' decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed（牵涉）drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy's return to Auburn.

Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism（坚忍）of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: "When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter."

Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains?

A. To teach in a school.

B. To study American history.

C. To write a book.

D. To do sightseeing.

What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3?

A. They enjoyed much respect.

B. They had a room with a bathtub.

C. They lived with the local kids.

D. They suffered severe hardships.

Which part of Wickenden's writing is hair-raising?

A. The extreme climate of Auburn.

B. The living conditions in Elkhead.

C. The railroad building in the Rockies.

D. The natural beauty of the West.

What is the text?

A. A news report.

B. A book review.

C. A children's story.

D. A diary entry.

1916年，两个来自富裕家庭的女孩，来自纽约州奥本的好朋友——多萝西·伍德拉夫和罗莎蒙德·安德伍德——前往落基山脉的一个定居点，在一所只有一间教室的校舍里教书。这两个女孩上过史密斯学院。她们穿着昂贵的衣服。所以对她们来说，搬到科罗拉多州的埃尔克黑德，去教那些鞋子用绳子绑在一起的孩子们，是一件令人惊讶的事。她们在埃尔克黑德的逗留是《无所畏惧：两个社交界女孩在西部意想不到的教育》一书的主题，作者是多萝西·威肯登，她是一位杂志编辑，也是多萝西·伍德拉夫的孙女。

那她们为什么去呢？嗯，她们想做一些有用的事。然而，很快她们就意识到了自己承担了什么。她们搬进了一个当地家庭——哈里森家，和他们一样，几乎没有隐私，很少洗澡，早上醒来时被子上覆盖着一层雪。有些早晨，罗莎蒙德和多萝西到达校舍时，会发现孩子们冻得在哭泣。春天，雪被冰上的泥所取代。

在威肯登的书中，她扩展讲述了西部的历史，也讲述了女权主义，这当然影响了女孩们去埃尔克黑德的决定。一个令人毛骨悚然的章节涉及铁路的修建，这牵涉到在落基山脉中钻探，常常是在令人目眩的暴风雪中。这本书以罗莎蒙德和多萝西返回奥本结束。

威肯登是一位非常好的讲故事的人。大地的辽阔和人民的坚忍促使她写出了一些美丽的文字。这里有一幅多萝西·伍德拉夫的画面，她骑在马上，从山顶向下看："当太阳滑到山后时，它在山周围洒下一片玫瑰色的光芒。然后一轮满月升起。雪地上只有小动物的痕迹：狐狸、郊狼、老鼠和 varying 野兔，它们在冬天会变白。"

All around the world, there are small changes taking place. At the side of roads, behind school playgrounds and on all kinds of unloved pieces of land across towns and cities, tiny forests barely the size of tennis courts are appearing, making a great place for both wildlife and local people who may not normally have easy access to nature. This is the Tiny Forest movement, which aims to prove that the best things in life really do come in small packages.

Tiny forests were first pioneered as a concept in the 1970s by Dr Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist. As he went on to share his concept with others, the idea soon took off in India and other countries before eventually reaching Europe, where it became popular in places like France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

So how does it work? Louise Hartley, who is leading the Tiny Forest project in the UK, explains that the process begins by identifying areas in which a tiny forest could have the biggest influence. "We focus on urban areas where access to nature is often not that easy," says Hartley. "We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature."

In a Tiny Forest, there must be a minimum of 600 trees, and the trees are planted much closer together and without chemicals or fertilisers（肥料）. There are usually around 30 different kinds of all-native tree species（物种）. This variety, coupled with the fact that tiny forests grow up to ten times faster than standard forests, means they attract a rich abundance of wildlife. It's also thought that these places could help reduce the risk of flooding, remove carbon from the atmosphere and fight climate change, as well as improving the mental health of those living locally.

What do we know about the Tiny Forest movement?

A. It has achieved notable success.

B. It is led by a number of schools.

C. It began in Europe in the 1970s.

D. It will spread to the countryside.

What is the purpose of the project led by Hartley in the UK?

A. To promote eco-tourism.

B. To improve forestry research.

C. To popularise gardening.

D. To get people close to nature.

What is special about the trees in a Tiny Forest?

A. They are small in size.

B. They are thickly planted.

C. They are foreign species.

D. They are heavily fertilised.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微型森林运动的起源、实施方式及其在城市中改善生态环境、帮助人们亲近自然的作用。

第24题.A 细节理解与推理判断。解析：根据第一段"tiny forests barely the size of tennis courts are appearing"以及第二段"the idea soon took off in India and other countries before eventually reaching Europe, where it became popular"可知，微型森林运动已经在多个国家和地区流行起来，取得了显著的成功。故选A。

第25题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第三段Hartley所说"We focus on urban areas where access to nature is often not that easy... We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature."可知，该项目的主要目的是让生活在城市中的人们更容易接触自然，拉近人与自然的距离。故选D。

第26题.B 细节理解。解析：根据最后一段"the trees are planted much closer together"可知，微型森林里的树木被种植得更密集，即thickly planted。故选B。

译文

在世界各地，都在发生着一些微小的变化。在路边、学校操场后面，以及城镇中各种无人喜爱的土地上，只有网球场大小的微型森林正在出现，为野生动物和通常不容易接触自然的当地居民提供了一个好地方。这就是微型森林运动，它旨在证明生活中最美好的东西确实是小巧玲珑的。

微型森林作为一种概念最早由日本植物学家宫胁昭博士在20世纪70年代开创。当他继续与他人分享他的概念时，这个想法很快在印度和其他国家流行起来，最终传到欧洲，在法国、比利时和荷兰等地流行起来。

那么它是如何运作的呢？在英国领导微型森林项目的路易丝·哈特利解释说，这个过程首先确定微型森林可以产生最大影响的区域。"我们专注于那些接触自然通常不太容易的城市地区，"哈特利说。"我们把它看作一个尝试打破人与自然之间日益扩大的隔阂的机会。"

在一片微型森林中，必须至少有600棵树，而且树木种植得更加密集，不使用化学品或肥料。通常有大约30种不同的全本地树种。这种多样性，再加上微型森林的生长速度比标准森林快十倍，意味着它们能吸引丰富的野生动物。人们还认为，这些地方可以帮助降低洪水风险、从大气中去除碳、应对气候变化，以及改善当地居民的心理健康。

题目翻译

关于微型森林运动，我们能了解到什么？

A. 它取得了显著的成功。

B. 它由许多学校领导。

C. 它于20世纪70年代始于欧洲。

D. 它将扩展到乡村。

哈特利在英国领导的项目目的是什么？

A. 促进生态旅游。

B. 改善林业研究。

C. 普及园艺。

D. 让人们亲近自然。

The United States rose to global power on the strength of its technology, and the lifeblood that technology has long been electricity. By providing long-distance communication and energy, electricity created the modern world. Yet properly understood, the age of electricity is merely the second stage in the age of steam, which began a century earlier.

"It is curious that no one has put together a history of both the steam and electric revolutions." writes Maury Klein in his book The Power Makers, Steam, Electricity, and the Men Invented Modern America. Klein, a noted historian of technology, spins a narrative so lively that at times it reads like a novel.

The story begins in the last years of the 18th century in Scotland, where Watt perfected "the machine that changed the world". Klein writes, "America did not invent the steam engine, but once they grasped its passwords they put it to more uses than anyone else."

Meanwhile, over the course of 19th century, electricity went from mere curiosity to a basic necessity. Morse invented a code for sending messages over an electromagnetic circuit. Bell then gave the telegraph a voice. Edison perfected an incandescent bulb that brought electric light into the American home. Most importantly, Edison realized that success depended on mass electrification, which he showed in New York City. With help from Tesla, Westinghouse's firm developed a system using alternating current, which soon became the major forms of power delivery.

To frame his story, Klein creates the character of Ned, a fictional witness to the progress brought about by the steams and electric revolutions in America during one man's lifetime. It's a technique that helps turn a long narrative into an interesting one.

What is Klein's understanding of the age of electricity?

A. It is closely linked to the steam age.

B. It began earlier than proper thought.

C. It is a little-studied period of history.

D. It will come to an end sooner or later.

What can be inferred about Ned?

A. He was born in New York City.

B. He wrote many increasing stories.

C. He created an electricity company.

D. He lived mainly in the 19th century.

What is the text?

A. A biography.

B. A book review.

C. A short story.

D. A science report.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇书评。文章主要评述了历史学家Maury Klein的著作《The Power Makers》，介绍该书将蒸汽时代与电气时代联系起来叙述的核心观点、关键人物以及独特的写作手法。

第24题.A 细节理解。解析：根据文章第二段第一句"Yet properly understood, the age of electricity is merely the second stage in the age of steam..."（然而，若正确理解，电气时代仅仅是蒸汽时代的第二阶段……）可知，Klein认为电气时代与蒸汽时代是紧密相连的，电气时代是蒸汽时代的延续。故选A。

第25题.D 推理判断。解析：根据文章最后一段可知，Ned是作者Klein在书中创造的一个虚构角色(a fictional witness)，用于见证美国蒸汽和电气革命在一个人的一生中所带来的进步。而文章第一段提到蒸汽时代始于18世纪末，电气时代贯穿19世纪，Ned正是生活在这段科技变革时期，由此可推知其一生主要在19世纪度过。故选D。

第26题.B 推理判断。解析：文章开篇引出技术与电力的重要性，随后介绍Maury Klein的著作《The Power Makers》及其核心观点，概括了书中从蒸汽时代到电气时代的关键人物与事件，最后还评述了该书的写作手法，符合书评的典型特征。故选B。

译文

美国凭借其技术崛起为全球强国，而长期以来，这种技术的命脉就是电力。通过提供长途通信和能源，电力创造了现代世界。然而，若正确理解，电气时代仅仅是蒸汽时代的第二阶段，蒸汽时代在一个世纪前就开始了。

"奇怪的是，没有人把蒸汽革命和电气革命的历史放在一起写。"莫里·克莱因在他的书《动力制造者：蒸汽、电力和发明现代美国的人》中写道。克莱因是一位著名的技术史学家，他编织的叙事如此生动，有时读起来像一部小说。

故事始于18世纪最后几年的苏格兰，瓦特在那里完善了"改变世界的机器"。克莱因写道："美国没有发明蒸汽机，但一旦他们掌握了它的密码，他们就比任何人都更多地使用它。"

与此同时，在19世纪的过程中，电力从仅仅的好奇变成了基本的必需品。莫尔斯发明了一种通过电磁回路发送信息的代码。贝尔随后给了电报一个声音。爱迪生完善了白炽灯泡，将电灯带入美国家庭。最重要的是，爱迪生意识到成功取决于大规模电气化，他在纽约市展示了这一点。在特斯拉的帮助下，西屋的公司开发了一种使用交流电的系统，这很快成为电力输送的主要形式。

为了构建他的故事，克莱因创造了内德这个角色，一个虚构的见证者，见证美国蒸汽和电气革命在一个人一生中带来的进步。这是一种帮助把长篇叙事变成有趣故事的手法。

题目翻译

克莱因对电气时代的理解是什么？

A. 它与蒸汽时代紧密相连。

B. 它比人们认为的开始得更早。

C. 它是一个研究很少的历史时期。

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."

Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.

"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained.

Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.

But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."

Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. "My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' "Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."

What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?

A. Read music.

B. Play the piano.

C. Sing songs.

D. Fix the instruments.

Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage?

A. Boring.

B. Well-paid.

C. Demanding.

D. Dangerous.

What does Titterton need to practise?

A. Counting the pages.

B. Recognizing the "nodding".

C. Catching falling objects.

D. Performing in his own style.

Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worst page turner"?

A. He has very poor eyesight.

B. He ignores the audience.

C. He has no interest in music.

D. He forgets to do his job.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了律师Robert Titterton在业余时间担任钢琴家翻谱者的经历，介绍了这份工作需要具备的能力和面临的挑战。

第24题.A 细节理解。解析：根据第一段中"I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."可知，Titterton为了能协助钢琴家演出，必须学会识谱。故选A。

第25题.C 推理判断。解析：根据第三段"A lot of skills are needed for the job..."以及第四段"Being a page turner requires plenty of practice... Silent onstage communication is key..."可知，这份工作需要大量技巧和练习，且要求台上无声沟通，对专注度要求极高，用"demanding（要求高的、费力的）"来形容最贴切。故选C。

第26题.B 细节理解。解析：根据第四段最后一句"...each pianist has their own style of 'nodding' to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner."可知，翻谱者需要和钢琴家练习并磨合识别他们独特的"点头"示意方式。故选B。

第27题.D 细节理解。解析：根据最后一段"He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!'"可知，她丈夫因为太沉醉于音乐本身而忘记翻谱，总是需要被提醒，说明他忘记履行翻谱的职责。故选D。

译文

白天，罗伯特·蒂特顿是一名律师。但在业余时间，他会走上舞台，坐在钢琴家玛丽亚·拉斯波波娃旁边——不是作为音乐家，而是作为她的翻谱者。"我不是受过训练的音乐家，但我学会了识谱，这样我就能在玛丽亚的演出中帮助她。"

蒂特顿先生是欧米茄乐团的主席，但在过去四年里一直是该团的官方翻谱者。他的工作是坐在钢琴家旁边，翻动乐谱的页面，这样音乐家就不必自己翻谱而打断声音的流动。他说他变得和舞台上演奏乐器的人一样紧张。

"这份工作需要很多技能。你必须确保不会一次翻两页，并确保在必须回到正确位置时找到音乐中的重复段。"蒂特顿先生解释说。

成为一名翻谱者需要大量练习。有些乐曲可以持续40分钟，需要多达50次翻页，包括重复段落的往回翻。台上的无声交流是关键，每位钢琴家都有自己独特的"点头"方式来示意翻页，他们需要与自己的翻谱者一起练习。

但像所有演出一样，也有出错的时候。"我正在翻页为下一页做准备，但翻页带来的气流使备用页面从谱架上掉了下来，"蒂特顿先生说，"幸运的是，我能够抓住它们并把它们放回去。"

大多数翻谱者是钢琴学生或有前途的 Concert 钢琴家，尽管拉斯波波娃女士曾请她的丈夫在舞台上帮她。"我丈夫是最差的翻谱者，"她笑着说。"他对音乐很感兴趣，感受每一个音符，我不得不说：'翻，翻！'罗伯特是我一生中遇到过的最好的翻谱者。"

I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs（幼兽）that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.

I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving—but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.

As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.

Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up "tiger milk", washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.

When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.

I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.

Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home?

A. To ensure their survival.

B. To observe their differences.

C. To teach them life skills.

D. To let them play with his kids.

What do the underlined words "get up to mischief" mean in paragraph 3?

A. Behave badly.

B. Lose their way.

C. Sleep soundly.

D. Miss their mom.

What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home?

A. Boring.

B. Tiring.

C. Costly.

D. Risky.

Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?

A. They frightened the children.

B. They became difficult to contain.

C. They annoyed the neighbours.

D. They started fighting each other.

我在国家动物园做饲养员已经11年了。斯波特和斯特赖普是这里出生的第一对老虎幼崽。在全球范围内，动物园里三分之一的苏门答腊虎崽活不到成年，所以我决定在家里给它们全天候的照顾。

我有两个孩子——较小的那个，凯南，对老虎的到来非常高兴——但我们所有人都真的期待成为它们生活的一部分，看着它们成长。我并不担心把它们和我妻子和孩子们一起带回家。这些是幼崽。它们重约2.5公斤，小到绝对没有风险。

随着它们变得更加好动，我们白天让它们在家里自由活动，但当我们睡觉时，我们不得不把它们关在一个大房间里，否则它们会调皮捣蛋。我们早上下来会发现它们把房间弄得天翻地覆，看起来像个动物园。

由于照顾它们需要巨大的精力，事情很快变得非常紧张。有一些艰难的时刻，我只是感到极度疲惫。我很感激我的家人在那里帮忙。我们不得不有点像流水线一样运作，调制"老虎奶"、洗婴儿奶瓶、清洁地板。

当斯波特和斯特赖普四个月大时，它们正在学习如何开门和跳栅栏，我们知道真的是时候让它们走了。最终与它们分别对我们来说很难。最初几天，凯南总是因为幼崽不在而有点失望。

我对此并不难过。我每天在动物园都亲手照顾它们，我确实非常深情地回顾我们拥有它们的时光。

Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding（繁育）programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf（犀牛幼崽）. When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity（圈养）.

Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: "Obviously we're all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She's healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It's still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day."

The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg. His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a "critically endangered" status.

Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?

A. Costly.

B. Controversial.

C. Ambitious.

D. Successful.

What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino?

A. She loves staying with her mother.

B. She dislikes outdoor activities.

C. She is in good condition.

D. She is sensitive to heat.

What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?

A. They had their first born in January.

B. They enjoyed exploring new places.

C. They lived with their grandmothers.

D. They were brought to the reserve young.

What can be inferred about Port Lympne Reserve?

A. The rhino section will be open to the public.

B. It aims to control the number of the animals.

C. It will continue to work with the World Wildlife Fund.

D. Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.

When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline（座机）?

These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn't own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.

Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones, according to a survey（调查）. Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.

More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor（因素）—only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn't the only factor; I'd say it's also to do with the makeup of your household.

Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).

How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?

What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?

A. Their target users.

B. Their wide popularity.

C. Their major functions.

D. Their complex design.

What does the underlined word "concede" in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Admit.

B. Argue.

C. Remember.

D. Remark.

What can we say about Baby Boomers?

A. They like smartphone games.

B. They enjoy guessing callers' identity.

C. They keep using landline phones.

D. They are attached to their family.

What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?

A. It remains a family necessity.

B. It will fall out of use some day.

C. It may increase daily expenses.

D. It is as important as the gas light.

第24题.B 段落大意概括。解析：第二段开头指出如今很难找到15岁以上没有手机的澳大利亚人，很多更小的孩子也有，几乎人人随时随地都能打电话。这整体说明手机极为普及，对应"广泛流行"。故选B。

第25题.A 词义猜测。解析：第三段提到，三分之一仍保留座机的人承认座机其实并非真正必要，只是当作安全保障，其中19%从来不用，13%留作应急。根据语境，这里"concede"表达的是虽然不愿但必须承认某种事实，故意为"承认(Admit)"。故选A。

第26题.C 细节推断。解析：第四段数据显示，84%的婴儿潮一代仍在使用座机，可能同一个号码用了50年。后文也提到只有婴儿潮一代的父母会打座机。这说明他们一直保持使用座机的习惯。故选C。

第27题.B 推理判断。解析：最后一段问"你有多依赖你的座机？它们离像煤气路灯和清晨送奶服务一样消失还需要多久？"将座机与已基本消失的事物类比，暗示座机迟早也会被淘汰。故选B。

译文

当几乎每个人都有一部手机时，为什么超过一半的澳大利亚家庭仍在为座机付费？

如今，你很难找到一个15岁以上没有手机的澳大利亚人。事实上，许多更小的孩子口袋里也有一部。几乎每个人都可以随时随地拨打和接听电话。

然而，根据一项调查，55%的澳大利亚人家中有座机，只有略超过四分之一（29%）的人只依赖智能手机。在那些仍有座机的澳大利亚人中，三分之一承认它并非真正必要，他们只是把它当作安全保障——19%的人说他们从不使用它，另有13%的人留着它以防紧急情况。我想我家属于那一类。

超过一半的澳大利亚家庭仍然选择保留他们的家庭电话。年龄自然是一个因素——只有58%的Y世代偶尔还使用座机，而84%的婴儿潮一代可能同一个家庭号码已经用了50年。年龄不是唯一的因素；我想这也与你家庭的构成有关。

有年幼家庭的X世代，比如我和我妻子，仍然觉得有家庭电话很方便，而不是为每个家庭成员都提供一部手机。话虽如此，说实话，唯一会打我们家电话的人是我们婴儿潮一代的父母，以至于我们在接电话前会玩一个游戏，猜猜是谁打来的（使用来电显示会让这个游戏失去乐趣）。

你对你的座机有多依赖？它们还要多久就会像煤气路灯和早晨送奶服务一样消失？

题目翻译

第二段主要告诉我们关于手机的什么？

A. 它们的目标用户。

B. 它们的广泛流行。

C. 它们的主要功能。

D. 它们复杂的设计。

第三段中画线词"concede"是什么意思？

A. 承认。

B. 争论。

C. 记得。

D. 评论。

关于婴儿潮一代，我们可以说什么？

A. 他们喜欢智能手机游戏。

B. 他们喜欢猜来电者的身份。

C. 他们一直使用座机。

D. 他们依恋家庭。

从最后一段可以推断出关于座机的什么？

A. 它仍然是家庭的必需品。

B. 它总有一天会被淘汰。

C. 它可能会增加日常开支。

D. 它和煤气灯一样重要。

（二十六）2021年6月高考英语浙江卷-阅读B篇

We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.

In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself "marketing director for Nature". He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.

"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference," David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."

Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.

What is the problem with the author's children?

A. They often annoy the neighbours.

【答案解析】24-27 DAAC

主题语境：人与自然——人与自然和谐共生

【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲的是当代儿童沉迷屏幕、户外活动匮乏的现状，并介绍了电影制作人大卫·邦德通过拍摄纪录片、将自然当作"品牌"向孩子推广，鼓励他们走向户外的故事。

第24题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第一段中"what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours"可知，作者的孩子放学后只想盯着屏幕看好几个小时，问题在于在屏幕前时间过长。故选D。

第25题.A 细节理解。解析：根据第二段中"He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand... The result was Project Wild Thing, a film..."可知，大卫·邦德通过把自己的探索历程拍成一部纪录片来宣传让儿童走进自然的理念。故选A。

第26题.A 词义猜测。解析：画线词"charts"所在句意为"一部记录了'野生网络'诞生的电影"，从上下文中"documented his journey"以及该电影是记录过程的结果来看，这里的"charts"意为"记录，描绘"，与"records"意思最接近。故选A。

第27题.C 主旨大意。解析：全文围绕大卫·邦德把自己任命为"大自然的营销总监"，将自然当作品牌向孩子们推广这一核心事件展开，结尾呼吁让孩子到户外去，"Market Nature to Children"概括了这一独特视角和主旨。故选C。

译文

我们住在一个有三个海滩的小镇。离家不到10分钟步行路程的地方有两个公园，邻居的孩子们聚集在那里玩耍。然而，我的孩子们放学后想做的是拿起一个屏幕——任何屏幕——盯着它看几个小时。他们并不孤单。今天的孩子们平均每天花四个半小时看屏幕，分为看电视和使用互联网。

在过去的几年里，越来越多的人和组织开始提出应对这一趋势的计划。几年前，电影制作人大卫·邦德意识到他的孩子们，当时五岁和三岁，对屏幕如此着迷，以至于他能在三岁儿子耳边说"巧克力"而得不到回应。他意识到需要做出改变，而且，作为一个伦敦媒体人，他任命自己为"大自然的营销总监"。他记录了自己的旅程，着手把大自然当作一个要向年轻人推销的品牌。结果就是"野生项目"，一部记录了"野生网络"诞生的电影——一群有着共同目标的组织，让孩子们走进大自然。

"只要多在户外待五分钟就能产生不同，"大卫·邦德说。"有很多非常有趣的证据似乎表明，如果孩子们在七岁之前受到启发，那么户外活动将成为一生的习惯。"他自己的孩子们现在已经养成了在外面玩的习惯："我们只是把他们送到花园里，告诉他们暂时不要回来。"

夏天来了。外面有一个奇妙的世界，它需要我们的孩子，就像我们的孩子需要它一样。让我们把他们带出去，让他们玩耍。

（二十七）2021年1月浙江省首考英语卷-阅读B篇

At the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predictions about life today. His predictions about slowing population growth, mobile phones and increasing height were close to the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that everybody would walk 10 miles a day.

Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2,000 steps short of the physical activity they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children walked to school, while in 2010, it was as low as 15 per cent.

The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time, many with both parents working to pay for their house, often working hours not of their choosing, living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport.

The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being, as well as lost opportunities（机会）for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are lost opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day.

Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day, only to meet with a "good", quickly followed by "I'm hungry". This is also my experience as a mother. But somewhere over the daily walk more about my son's day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.

Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes（路线）, with days of regular, parent-accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing. It can be tough to begin and takes a little planning—running shoes by the front door, lunches made the night before, umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones—but it's certainly worth trying.

Why does the author mention Watkins' predictions in the first paragraph?

A. To make comparisons.

B. To introduce the topic.

C. To support her argument.

D. To provide examples.

What has caused the decrease in Australian children's physical activity?

A. Plain laziness.

B. Health problems.

C. Lack of time.

D. Security concerns.

Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile?

A. She can get relaxed after work.

B. She can keep physically fit.

C. She can help with her son's study.

D. She can know her son better.

【答案解析】24-26 BCD

主题语境：人与社会——亲子关系与社会交往

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲的是当今儿童因家庭时间紧张、依赖汽车等原因步行量大幅减少，而作者通过自身经历指出，与孩子步行上下学是了解孩子内心、增进亲子交流的宝贵机会，并鼓励家长尝试步行校车路线。

第24题.B 理解推断。解析：文章开篇提到Watkins关于"未来每人每天步行10英里"的预测，紧接着用"But he was wrong..."转折，引出当今现实恰恰相反——儿童步行量严重不足的现象。这是一种典型的"由头/引子"式开篇，目的是自然引入本文将要探讨的核心话题。故选B。

第25题.C 细节理解。解析：文章第三段明确指出"The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time..."，紧接着具体解释了双职工家庭时间紧张、居住在依赖汽车的社区等客观原因。因此，儿童体力活动减少的原因是"缺乏时间"。故选C。

第26题.D 理解推断。解析：文章第五段详细描述了作者与儿子步行的收获："somewhere over the daily walk more about my son's day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship... This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more."这表明步行让儿子更愿意吐露心声，作者能借此更深入地了解孩子的内心世界、交友困惑等。故选D。

译文

在20世纪初，一位名叫约翰·埃尔弗思·沃特金斯的美国工程师对今天的生活做出了预测。他关于人口增长放缓、手机和身高增加的预测相当准确。但他有一个预测错了：每个人都会每天步行10英里。

今天，在澳大利亚，大多数儿童平均比避免超重所需的体力活动少2000步。在20世纪70年代初，40%的儿童步行上学，而在2010年，这一比例低至15%。

这种下降并不是因为我们都变得懒惰了。家庭时间紧张，许多家庭父母双方都在工作以支付房款，工作时间往往不是自己选择的，住在依赖汽车的社区，公共交通有限。

硬币的另一面同样是剥夺：对健康和福祉的剥夺，以及孩子们了解当地环境的机会的丧失。对父母来说，也失去了与年幼的学童一起散步、谈论他们一天的机会。

大多数父母都会急切地问孩子今天过得怎么样，却只得到一个"很好"，紧接着是"我饿了"。这也是我作为母亲的经历。但在每天的散步中，关于我儿子一天的事情会更多地流露出来。我听他理解友谊及其界限。这是父母意想不到的、难得的机会，能听到更多。

许多小学支持步行校车路线，有固定的、家长陪同的步行日。每周做几次其中的一次总比什么都不做好。开始可能很难，需要一点计划——跑鞋放在前门，午餐在前一晚做好，雨天带伞，热天戴帽子——但肯定值得一试。
