(名校最新期末真题)
专题05 阅读理解20篇

1． 先看问题，再读文章
做阅读理解是先看问题，还是先看文章，这是很多同学经常问的问题。我觉得这两种方法各有利弊，应视具体情况而定。就阅读广告而言，还是先看问题比较好，因为广告类的试题绝大部分是寻找信息的题目，大可不必从头读到尾，带着问题有针对性地去跳读、略读，这样就可以节约不少时间。
2． 抓住广告的标题
如果广告有标题，大标题下又有小标题，那么，快速寻找原文信息时，这些标题就成了很重要的线索，可以帮助我们快速准确地找到答案。有些题目考查的就是对广告标题的理解。
3． 逐项比较，得出最佳
做阅读理解题，切不可凭主观印象，想当然地确定答案。任何一道题目，均可以在原文中找到相关线索，这就如同破译密码一样。做题人的思维过程和编题人的思维过程恰好相反，编题人先找好线索，然后设计问题和选项，解题人根据问题，再去文中找相关线索。因此，我们做题时要逐项比较，排除错误选项，得出最佳答案。
4.吃透文章文章大意和中心思想
任何一篇文章都会有一个主旨和中心。有时从文章的第一个段落，甚至第一个句子即可得出文章的主旨大意，从这一段或这个句子，我们就会知道文章描述的是什么（即文章的主题），也会了解作者希望读者了解主题方面的哪些内容。有时，文章的主旨要义则需从文章的字里行间去浓缩去推断。这类试题主要考查考生略读文章、领会驾驭大意的能力，它对考生的归纳、概括能力有一定的要求。
5.理解文中具体信息
文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人员往往会要求考生根据不同的要求，阅读文章以获得某些特定的信息或准确地寻求所需的细节。这类试题有时比较直接，理解字面意思即可答题；有时则较为间接，需要归纳、概括和推理才能答题。
6.根据上下文语境，准确推断生词的词义
正确理解文章中单词或短语的含义是理解文章的第一步，也是理解文章的基础，不懂单词含义根本就谈不上理解文章。但英语单词的含义并非完全等同于词典中所标注的汉语意思，其含义随不同的语境会有所不同。能根据上下文正确理解灵活变化的词义，才算是真正初步具备了一定的阅读理解能力。此外，阅读文章时，常常会遇到一些过去未见过的词，但许多这类生词的词义可以通过上下文推断出来。这种不使用词典而通过阅读上下文来推断生词含义的能力，是一个合格的读者所必须具备的能力，因此也是阅读测试中经常检测的一种能力。
7.作出简单判断和推理
阅读文章的主要目的是获取信息，即作者所要传达的信息。在实际的阅读活动中，有时需要根据文章提供的事实和线索，进行逻辑推理，推测作者未提到的事实或某事发生的可能性等。
8.准确把握作者的意图、观点和态度
每篇文章都有一个特定的写作目的，或是向读者传递某个信息，或是愉悦读者，或是讲授某个道理。而这些信息通常并不是明确表达出来，而是隐含在文章之中。因此，这类问题要求考生在理解文章总体内容的基础上，去领会作者的言外之意。”
对英语阅读能力的考查是英语高考的重中之重，除阅读理解题外，其他各种题型从单项填空到书面表达尤其是完形填空和短文该错都与我们的英语阅读能力有密切的关系。难怪有的教师在分析高考英语试卷时得出这样的结论“得阅读者得天下”。

（2022·西藏拉萨·高一期末）The swan is a large, beautiful bird with a long neck, big white wings and wide feet. It is a great flyer because of its strong wings. It is also a good swimmer, swimming quickly and nicely through the water. But on dry land, it’s a different story—the swan’s heavy body and slow walk make it look a bit funny!
Swans live anywhere there is fresh water, like lakes and slow-moving rivers. They eat water plants and small fish. Swans are very territorial (地盘性的), which means that they protect their homes against any strangers. When swans want to look strong, they stand up tall, show their long necks and open their big wings while letting out big noises.
In spring, swans make a nest (巢) of tree leaves near the water. They often use the same nest year after year, repairing it when egg laying time comes round. The mother swan lays between five and eight eggs in the nest, and then sits on them to keep them warm and safe until about a month later, cygnets are born. Sometimes the father swan will take the first—born cygnets out onto the water while the mother stays to look after the other eggs. The cygnets are looked after by both parents, who will fight other animals, people or even boats if they think their cygnets are in danger!
1．To make them look strong, swans ________.
A．swim quickly B．stand on one leg
C．move their necks often D．open their wings
2．About swans’ nests, we know that ________.
A．they build their nests after spring B．they often use the same nest every year

3．After laying eggs, mother swans ________.
A．cover the eggs with tree leaves B．stay away and watch the eggs
C．stay to sit on top of the eggs D．have the father look after the eggs
4．The underline word “cygnets” in this passage means ________.
A．the swan nests B．the father swans
C．the baby swans D．the mother swans

（2022·甘肃兰州·高一期末）Americans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.
The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (费) .
Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow- mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.
The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.
5．Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．Visitors will pay less than before.
B．The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors.
C．Visitors may not necessarily buy tickets ahead of time.
D．Only buses are allowed to enter the parks.
6．Entrance fees may be increased ________.
A．because the National Park Service are short of money
B．only for the development of the national parks
C．to protect the animals
D．mainly to limit the number of visitors
7．What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “limited” in Paragraph 3?
A．Enlarged. B．Admitted. C．Controlled. D．Concerned.
8．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.
B．Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.
C．The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution.
D．National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible.

（2022·黑龙江·牡丹江市第二高级中学高一期末）The tradition of giving gifts didn’t start with the modern holidays we celebrate. Many ancient cultures celebrated holidays with the exchange of gifts. People who love to give gifts often can’t wait until it’s time for the recipients to open their gifts. If you’ve ever been given a gift, you know that part of the fun is the curiosity that builds as you wonder what the gift is.
The wish to hide the identity of a gift until just the right moment led people to wrap gifts long, long ago. Historians believed wrapping gifts in paper probably started not long after paper was invented thousands of years ago.
Wrapping paper like what we use today, though, is a much more recent invention. More than 100 years ago, gifts were usually wrapped in heavy brown paper. Before that, cloth was often used. The technology to mass-produce wrapping paper didn’t come along until the early 1900s. The first American gift wrap company— Hy-Sill Manufacturing Inc. — was founded by Eli Hyman and Morris Silverman in 1903. It wasn’t as easy to wrap presents back then as it is today, though, because adhesive tape (胶带) wasn’t invented until 1930.
Over the years, wrapping paper has developed into what we see in stores each holiday season. But scientists say that the United States alone produces an extra 5 million tons of waste over the holidays, most of which is from wrapping paper and shopping bags. To cut down on this waste, some people carefully unwrap presents, so that the wrapping paper can be reused. Others have started to use reusable gift bags instead of wrapping paper.
9．What is the interesting part of people giving a gift?
A．Hiding their gifts and their feelings.
B．Giving the recipients a surprise.
C．Letting the recipients open gifts at once.
D．Following a century-old tradition.
10．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．People didn’t know wrapping paper until 1903.
B．Heavy brown paper has been used to wrap gifts for 100 years.
C．Technology made wrapping paper widely available.
D．Adhesive tape was first created by gift wrap companies.
11．What do scientists worry about?
A．The future of reusable gift bags.
B．The waste produced by Americans.
C．Wrapping paper’s influence on the environment.
D．People’s admiration for wrapping paper.
12．What does the text mainly tell us?
A．The popularity of wrapping gifts.
B．The start of wrapping gifts in paper.
C．The problems caused by wrapping paper.
D．The story behind wrapping paper.

（2022·黑龙江·牡丹江市第二高级中学高一期末）Last night at work, a girl came in and sat at the bar. She asked for a cup of water and a menu and eventually ordered a bacon cheeseburger which costs roughly $12 at my restaurant.
After eating for a few minutes, she asked me for a napkin (餐巾) and a pen. I saw her writing on the napkin but didn’t think anything of it. When I turned around, she was gone.

Life’s been good to me so far, and I think I will pass my luck on to someone else. Have a great night!”
I have never been so touched by a stranger in my entire life. About 3 months ago, my own mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, so this hit very close to home. Having just witnessed my mother completed her first 5-week cycle of chemo, I know the pain and exhaustion this young woman is feeling. On top of the chemo, she was selfless enough on her own birthday that she gave a stranger a gift.
This young woman has completely touched my soul and has affected my life in a way that I will never forget. I hope to see her again one day, so I can tell her how much her random act of kindness has touched me and finally changed my life.
Thank you for being such a beautiful person and I pray that you get well.

（2022·江苏淮安·高一期末）Emma Rosen had one of the best and most sought-after jobs in the civil service in the UK. 20,000 candidates (候选人) applied, but fewer than 1,000 were offered jobs. But it turned out that she didn’t like sitting at a desk all day, and she struggled to see how what she was doing would make much difference to anything.

（2022·江苏淮安·高一期末）Who was it on the top floor?
The lamp lit up a man’s face. Pip didn’t recognize it, but the expression showed that its owner was pleased to see Pip.
Suddenly Pip knew who he was when he sat down in a chair near the fire! The convict in the churchyard years ago!
“You helped me, Pip,” said the man. “I have never forgotten it.”
Pip felt none for him, saying, “If you’ve come here to thank me, it isn’t necessary. You must understand... But you are tired. Would you like something to drink before you go?”
“Thank you. I know, you are no longer what you used to be. It doesn’t hurt to ask how you managed to live such a life as a gentleman.”
“I have a benefactor,” Pip replied, embarrassed.

（2022·新疆·兵团第一师高级中学高一期末）Floyd Norman, 81, was just 20 years old in 1956 when Walt Disney Studios employed him. He was the first African-American artist to be employed by the company. “It wasn’t something he set out to do as a goal,” Erik Sharkey said. Sharkey is a codirector of the documentary Floyd Norman: An Animated Life. “It sort of happened by his pursuing(追求) the thing that he loved.”
Norman’s first assignment was on Sleeping Beauty. He drew the characters positions that made them appear to move. A few years later, he helped bring the animated sequences(连续镜头)in Mary Poppins to life.
While at the studio, Norman liked to create gag(诙谐)drawings that he would post around the office. His coworkers, including Walt Disney, appreciated the humor. Disney assigned Norman a job on The Jungle Book. Norman drew the “Trust in Me sequence, in which Kaa, the snake, hypnotizes(迷惑)the boy, Mowgli. It was cool to be in that room with Walt - as long as he didn’t spot you. He might ask you a question,” Norman says in the documentary, “I thought he was always going to ask me: What are you doing here?”
In 1966, Norman left Disney to start Vignette Films with three friends. They made educational movies, including a series devoted to black history. But Norman never stopped drawing. He worked on Scooby-Doo, Jonny Quest, and Josie and the Pussycats. He also drew a Mickey Mouse comic strip(连环漫画)for Disney. In 1997, he joined Pixar to work on Toy Story 2.
Today, Norman is back at Disney. where he is an inspiration to young artists. But he is not ready to call himself a pioneer. “I never saw myself as anything special,” Norman says. “I was just another artist looking for a job.”

（2022·新疆·兵团第一师高级中学高一期末）First of all, an advertisement has to be powerful and attract people’s attention. You need a strong image (形象) that is eye-catching, a catchy slogan, a joke or something shocking. In advertising we talk about the AIDA method. A is for attention. I is for interest. D is for desire (渴望). A is for action. An ad needs to do more than just get our attention. It also has to be effective. It must get us interested, make us want the product and motivate us to go out and buy it.
—Michael Hamilton, advertising executive
Advertising has changed over the years. Adverts are no longer just informative and focused on the product. Many of the adverts that we see today are short stories telling inspirational tales that are often amusing, humorous and highly-developed. People do not want to remember that life can be boring. They want to see something original and creative. The adverts take away the ordinariness of everyday life and take us to somewhere unusual or romantic (浪漫的).
—Miranda Hoyles, head of a US advertising agency
Many people talk about advertisements that are exciting and interesting. But for me, an immediately recognisable logo (标识) is really important. Good logos have been built up so they are recognisable. Part of what makes a good advert is a clear symbol that people immediately identify with the company. A good slogan also helps you make a connection. The real thing makes you think of Coca-Cola immediately. It’s also important to ensure that your slogan does not end up bothering(烦扰) everyone.
—Christie Peterson, illustrator
29．According to Michael Hamilton, a good advert should _______.
A．keep up with the times
B．excite people’s imagination
C．be attention-getting and persuasive
D．be product-centered and informative
30．What does Miranda Hoyles say about adverts today?
A．They reflect everyday life.
B．They are business-focused.
C．They are complex and boring.
D．They involve some excellent ideas.
31．Which of the following is Christie Peterson’s main concern about advertising?
A．Creative stories.
B．Public recognition.
C．The slogan and logo.
D．Special visual effects.

（2022·江西九江·高一期末）A tornado is a disaster; the death and damage it may leave behind is heartbreaking. And while the arrival of a hurricane is known in advance by days of warning, tornadoes strike suddenly. Those in the path of a tornado may have 15 minutes’ warning, if that.

Other things to consider include sleeping bags or blankets, books, puzzles and games for children.
• Pay special attention to weather. Look for the following danger signs: dark, greenish sky, a large, dark cloud, loud noise.
Safety measures during a storm
• In a public building, go to a shelter area such as a safe room, basement or the lowest building level.
• If you’re in a mobile home, get out quickly and go to the lowest floor of a nearby building or a storm shelter.
• If caught in the open, lie down in a lower area and cover your head with your hands.
Safety measures after a storm
• Pay attention to the danger created by tornado damage such as broken glass and broken electrical wire (电线). These are all dangerous.

（2022·江西九江·高一期末）As the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 — 1827)
Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions. The last 30 years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 — 1750)
Bach, “the father of modem music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist (风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court (宫廷) organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.
Frederic Chopin (1810 — 1849)
Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.
Franz Schubert (1797 — 1828)
Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors (前辈), Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.
36．Where was Beethoven born?
A．In Vienna. B．In America. C．In Germany. D．In Poland.
37．Who is called “the father of modem music”?
A．Bach. B．Beethoven. C．Schubert. D．Chopin.

A．In 1707. B．In 1818. C．In 1810. D．In 1828.

（2021·辽宁沈阳·高一期末）A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions (慈善机构、福利院)should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young .
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore , it is reasonable to expect that some combinations of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
39．What is the passage mainly about ?
A．The problem faced by the old in society
B．Why we should take responsibility for the old
C．How we can improve the lives of the old
D．Where the old can go to get their pensions
40．According to the passage , how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people ?
A．Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B．Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C．Increase the discounts(打折)for food and transport for the old.
D．Make available pensions for those who have retired.
41．The underlined word “viable” most probably means ________ .
A．impossible B．practical C．useful D．successful
42．What can be concluded from the passage ?
A．Taking care of the old is mainly an issue (问题) of the old.
B．Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.
C．Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.
D．There is no single solution to the problems of the old.

（2022·山东·泰安市基础教育教学研究室高一期末）A man sat at a metro station in Washington D．C．and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded（鼓掌）, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
43．Why did few people stop to listen to Joshua Bell playing?
A．People were in a hurry.
B．They were not interested in music.
C．It was too cold in the subway.
D．The performance was not good enough.
44．What did the parents do when children stopped to look at the violinist?

（2022·山东·泰安市基础教育教学研究室高一期末）“The Manuscript Writing Cafe only allows in people who have a writing deadline to face!” owner Takuya Kawai tweeted. “It’s in order to maintain a level of focus and tense atmosphere at the cafe! Thank you for your understanding.”
The cafe, which only opened a few days ago, charges customers by time used, and is equipped with USB ports, computer stands, and free Wi-Fi. Struggling writers can also bring their own food and drinks, or have it delivered there since coffee and water are the only things that they can get, but it’s pretty strict when it comes to the actual writing.
When entering the cafe, customers must write down at the reception desk（前台）how many words they plan to write and by what time they plan to finish. Every hour, a member of the staff will come by to check on their progress and apply a predetermined pressure level to help move things along.
For example, choosing the “S” level will have the cafe staff pushing you to get the work done more often, while the “M” level includes a more mild way.
However, the craziest rule of the Manuscript Writing Cafe is that writers are not allowed to end their work until reaching their goal or until the place closes down for the day, whichever comes first. It’s not clear how the cafe carries out this rule, but it is meant to keep customers from announcing high targets that they won’t be able to meet.
While some found it interesting, others said that it was too much pressure.
“If it were me, I would no longer be able to leave the store and would end up having to live there,” one person commented.
47．What is the purpose of opening the cafe?

（2022·陕西·西安市第八十九中学高一期末）The icy waters surrounding Antarctica have long been called the Southern Ocean by scientists and the media. However, it never received the official recognition-until now. On June 8, 2021, the National Geographic Society announced that from now on, there would be five oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and the Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean was not just an extension of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. It had the unique characteristics required to deserve its own name.
Unlike the other oceans, whose boundaries (边界) are defined by the surrounding continents, the extent of the Southern Ocean is determined by the Antarctic Circumpolar (ACC)—the Earth’s longest and strongest ocean current. The ACC was established 34 million years ago when Antarctic broke off from South America, enabling the water to freely flow around Earth’s southernmost tip. Its water is colder and less salty than the ocean waters to the south and provides a unique habitat for thousands of species. The ACC also significantly impacts Earth’s climate.
Alex Tait, a National Geographic Society geographer, says the recognition affects the Society’s desire to draw public attention to protecting the Southern Ocean’s unique ecosystem. “We’ve always labeled it, but labeled it slightly different from other oceans,” Tait explains.“This change is taking the last step and saying we want to recognize it because of its ecological separation,”
Tait believes the official recognition of the Southern Ocean will influence how children see the world.“I think one of the biggest impacts is through education,” he says.“Students get information about the ocean world through what ocean they’re studying. If they don’t include the Southern Ocean, they can’t Tearq the specifics of it and how important it is."
51．How did the Southern Ocean get its official recognition?
A．By being recorded in books.
B．By being given new official name.
C．By being regarded as one of the five oceans.
D．By being admitted by the international media
52．What does Alex Tait think of the Southern Ocean getting its new identity?,
A．It will cause great changes in the global ecosytemn.
B．It will greatly impact Earth’s climate.
C．It will help protect the species in Antaptica.
D．It will make the ocean better known.
53．What is the best title of the passage?
A．People now truly care about the oceans.
B．Earth now officially has five oceans.
C．The features of the Southern Ocean.
D．The impact of the Southern Ocean.

（2022·陕西·西安市第八十九中学高一期末）From classic books like A Wrinkle in Time to classic movies like Back to the Future, children and adults both have been fascinated by the concept of time travel for hundreds of years. But is it even possible?
Time travel sounds simple: you just move back and forth between different points in time like you would between diffierent points in space. You could jump forward into the future, or you can jump back to sometime in the past.
Exactly how would this be done? Most artistic works that feature time travel finish it with the help of a special device usually called a time machine. The time machine features whatever technology has been developed to transport people successfully to other points in time.
But could time travel really happen? Some scientists believe that parts of Albert Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity might allow for the possibility of time travel. These theories are complex and very hard to understand. They involve unusual astronomical things like black holes and wormholes. Traveling faster than the speed of light might also be required.
It can be fun, though, to think about what problems might be presented by time travel. It may create an absurd situation. For example, let’s say that you travel back in time to the day your parents met. What if your showing up on the day your parents met caused a ripple (连锁反应) in time that led to them not meeting? If they had never met, you would never have been born. If you had never been born, how could you ever exist to travel back in time to cause the problem you just caused? Though it may sound confusing, we hope that any scientist who ever manages to make time travel possible works out these problems in advance.
54．What kind of film is Back to the Future most likely to be?
A．An action film. B．A fantasy film C．A historical film D．A romantic film
55．What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 2?
A．Add a topic.
B．Give an example.
C．Explain a concept.
D．Make a conclusion.
56．What is some scientists’ judgment on the possibility of time travel based on?
A．Previous similar cases.
B．Accurate scientific research.
C．Some scientific theories.
D．Advanced space technology.
57．What does the author think of time travel?
A．It will certainly come true one day.
B．It is an possible and absurd idea.
C．It will change some historical events.
D．It may cause confusion with time and space.

（2022·全国·高一期末）Daylight saving is a seasonal time change, which is used in about 70 countries around the world, including most of Europe and the UK. It is designed to create an extra hour of daylight for people to enjoy at the end of the day during the warmer months. So our clocks are moved forward at the start of daylight saving. This means that while our clocks might show 8 p.m. during daylight saving, we are actually enjoying a 7 p.m. level of daylight. So we effectively have an extra hour of light at the end of the day — to go for a walk with our family, play outside with our friends and not have to turn on the electric lights at home. Digital devices like mobile phones, tablets and computers automatically (自动地) change, while items like clocks and some watches need to be changed by hand.
George Vernon Hudson, an insect expert from New Zealand, came up with the idea of daylight saving in 1895. He suggested shifting (转移) the time by two hours, but his idea didn’t catch on. Seven years later, a British builder called William Willett took the idea to England’s government as a way to prevent the nation from wasting daylight. His suggestion got some high support but was refused by the British government.
Then in 1916, two years into World War I, the German government started looking for ways to save energy. “They remembered Willett’s idea of moving the clock forward and thus having more daylight during working hours,” David Prerau, author of Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time told National Geographic. “While the British were talking about it year after year, the Germans decided to do it more or less by an official order.”
England and almost every other country that fought in World War I soon followed suit. In those days, coal was the main source of energy people used in their homes. Needing energy in homes for one less hour a day during daylight saving meant more coal could be used in the war effort.
58．What will happen to our clocks when daylight saving begins?
A．They will stop for one hour. B．They will be an hour fast.
C．They will break and need repair. D．They will move backward automatically.
59．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．When England started daylight saving. B．Why daylight saving time was created.
C．What benefit daylight saving brought. D．Who came up with the idea of daylight saving.
60．What can we learn about David Prerau?
A．He disagreed with Willett’s idea.
B．He wrote a book about daylight saving.
C．He was a reporter of the magazine National Geographic.
D．He persuaded the government to practice daylight saving.
61．Why did the German government decide to use daylight saving?
A．To put more energy into the war. B．To follow the lifestyle in England.
C．To make people enjoy more daylight time. D．To produce more goods and services.

（2022·湖南·宁乡市教育研究中心高一期末）On the evening of April 8, Dunhuang Academy and Huawei jointly launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes. Using Huawei’s newly-released (发行) Hetu artificial intelligence platform, coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Grottoes can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.
Zhao Shengliang, director of the Dunhuang Academy, said that it has been cooperating with Huawei since March 2019. Using Huawei’s latest Hetu technology, visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang Art Murals (壁画) outside the caves, through their Huawei mobile phones. This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the cave, aiding the protection of the cultural relics, while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can obtain. It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang Art.
The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research and exploration of Dunhuang Grottoes since the early 1990s. It has collected a wealth of data and has realized the goal of sharing of digital Dunhuang globally. It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.
The Huawei Hetu platform unites Dunhuang’s study findings, high-resolution images of the site’s murals and virtual, three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Grottoes. It has not only re-created the real tour of the scenic spot, but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the grottoes. When people visit the site, they not only have the experience of seeing the real grottoes, but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.
In the future, Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with Huawei to create more colorful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao Art on the platform, helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang Art better.

（2022·江苏苏州·高一期末）Cuckoos (布谷鸟) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don’t spend the energy building a nest (鸟巢), protecting eggs or feeding children. Instead the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don’t raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.
To succeed in doing this, a female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove one of the host’s eggs to make room for her own.
Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch (孵化) and begin to grow in a host’s nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker. Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents, but still continues to receive food from them.
The cuckoo imposter (冒名顶替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then, the non-biological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.
Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts’. This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds’ attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.
66．What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young?
A．Attend to eggs. B．Build a new nest. C．Rely on other birds. D．Learn feeding skills.
67．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Other cuckoos. B．Baby cuckoos. C．Its host parents. D．Its birth parents.
68．What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter?
A．It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest.
B．It throws all the other eggs out of nests with its mother’s help.
C．It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest.
D．It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching.
69．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．How cuckoos fool other birds B．How cuckoos protect their children
C．How cuckoos destroy others’ nests D．How cuckoos produce eggs in host nests

（2022·福建福州·高一期末）The plot of the story of “The Million Pound Bank Note” centers on the impossibility of encashing (兑现) a high valued bank note by a common man. Within this story it is narrated (叙述) that only two such notes were ever issued and anyone who walks into a bank to cash that note will get himself in trouble. So, do such million pound bank notes really exist? Let’s do a bit of digging around for the purpose of satisfying the curiosity over this question.
Such high valued pound bank notes do exist, and they were usually used for transactions (交易) within banks. The Bank of England used “one million” and “hundred million” pound bank notes to keep parity (等价) with bank notes issued by Scottish and Northern Irish banks. These notes — the one million ones were called “giants” and came in A5 size and the hundred million ones were called “titans” having an A4 size — were more like IOU documents (legal forms that describe a loan between a lender and a borrower) and they were special issues from the Bank of England to meet the requirement of backing the value of everyday notes issued by banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Nine such one million pound notes were issued in connection with the Marshall Plan (the US’s post-war aid program to Western Europe), equal to the loan from the US after World War II (WWII) in 1948. After cancellation (取消), of these nine only seven were destroyed and two survived with private collectors. Such high valued notes are not usually found in the normal transactional scenes and it is believed that notes worth eight billion pounds were printed in these heavy denominations (面额) in total.
Mark Twain can create humor from narrations of unrealistic (不现实的) and often funny simple situations and “The Million Pound Bank Note” is a nice example of his storytelling abilities.
70．Why does the author mention “The Million Pound Bank Note” in paragraph 1?
A．To bring up the topic. B．To question the readers.
C．To retell the famous story. D．To support the topic.
71．What can we learn about “giants” and “titans”?
A．They were the same size. B．They were sold at a discount.
C．They were issued by banks in Scotland. D．They were mainly used within banks.
72．What do we know about the nine 1948 one million pound notes?
A．Seven of them were destroyed in WWII.
B．Two of them became private collections.
C．All are worth eight billion pounds now.
D．All were used by the public at that time.
73．What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?
A．To show Mark Twain’s humor.
B．To praise Mark Twain and his work.
C．To introduce “The Million Pound Bank Note”.
D．To uncover Mark Twain’s attitude towards society.

For example, let’s say that you travel back in time to the day your parents met. What if your showing up on the day your parents met caused a ripple (连锁反应) in time that led to them not meeting? If they had never met, you would never have been born. If you had never been born, how could you ever exist to travel back in time to cause the problem you just caused? Though it may sound confusing, we hope that any scientist who ever manages to make time travel possible works out these problems in advance.”（不过，想想时间旅行可能会带来什么问题也会很有趣。这可能会造成一种荒谬的局面。例如，假设你穿越回你父母相遇的那天。如果你在父母见面的那天出现，在时间上引发了涟漪，导致他们没有见面怎么办?如果他们没有相遇，你就不会出生。如果你从未出生，你怎么可能存在回到过去造成你刚刚造成的问题?虽然这听起来可能令人困惑，但我们希望任何曾经使时间旅行成为可能的科学家都能提前解决这些问题）故可推知，作者认为时间旅行可能会造成时间和空间的混淆。故选D项。

Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.(相反，雌性把这些角色传递给其他鸟。它们不抚养自己的孩子。通常，它们把蛋下在别的鸟的巢里，让别的鸟以为布谷鸟蛋是它们的。)”可知，在孵化幼鸟的时候，布谷鸟总是依赖其他鸟类。故选C。

This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest.(冒充布谷鸟的雏鸟通常是宿主父母需要照顾的唯一雏鸟。这是因为当布谷鸟在11天后孵化时，它会把巢中所有其他的蛋都扔掉。它会把每个蛋背在背上，然后把它们一个一个地扔出巢穴的边缘。)”可知，当布谷鸟孵化出来的时候，其他蛋还处于孵化状态。因此可推断，布谷鸟比鸟巢中其他鸟类孵化的要早。故选A。
69．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Cuckoos (布谷鸟) are masters of cheating.(布谷鸟是欺骗的大师。)”以及文章主要内容可知，文章主要介绍了布谷鸟是如何欺骗其他鸟类为其孵化幼鸟的。所以“How cuckoos fool other birds(布谷鸟是如何欺骗其他鸟类的)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
