Passage 1 (2024·福建省闽粤联合体高三联考)
话题:父母与子女
词数:296
My dearest son and daughter,
The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing (起诉) her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter.Let me just put this out there: the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge.
There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster.
First,its natural for parents and children to argue.I can guarantee that we will disagree.One or both of you will,at some point,scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me.And I wont always like you,either.But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus,even when Im so angry.We are family.That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh,blood and bones in our body.And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond.
Second,Ill be honest,no matter how far apart we are on your life choices,your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education.But that doesnt mean you deserve it.To be clear,that is a privilege we happily extend (给予) to you—not a right you are born with.And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege.Growing up is hard work.
If I do my job properly as your mother—and you do yours as my children—you would sooner get a job or two,and find a way to make your dreams come true than go to trial over what you think you have the right to.
Love always,
Mom

词数:355
“I honestly have no idea how that cat got up there.Its a hundred-foot-metal pole.Theres no way he climbed that thing,”Jim said to the worried woman.It wasnt even her cat,but she was passing by and saw it,immediately calling the fire-station to come to save it.Jim saw a lot of strange things as a fireman,often sad or upsetting things,but this was new.
“I suppose we could get the blanket and see if we can convince the poor cat to jump down.But he doesn’t really look too scared...”Jim said to the woman.
“Dave,get over here Jim called over his shoulder to the fire truck driver.Dave walked over and looked where Jim was pointing.
“How’d he get up there?”
Jim shrugged,similarly puzzled.“Do you suppose we could get the blanket and convince him to jump?”
Dave shrugged in response.“I dont see why not.”
Jim looked up at the black mass on the top of the flagpole,the American nag waving proudly beneath him.It was definitely a cat,and he regarded the people gathered below as if they were his subjects (臣民) and he their king,his yellow eyes scanning his surroundings with apparent disinterest.
When the blanket was spread out below the cat,Jim and Dave began striking the flagpole.The cat looked down,and then gazed into the sky as if it were looking for something.Jim and Dave followed his gaze.Suddenly,out of the clear sky,appeared a dark figure.The figure swooped (俯冲) low toward the flagpole.It was an eagle! As it got closer,the cat leaped down the pole swiftly onto the ground,and then got lost in the bushes.

Passage 3 (2024·石嘴山市一模)
话题:大运河申请世界文化遗产
词数:316
When it comes to cultural heritage protection, the Grand Canal of China is probably the world’s greatest project of its kind.The big inland waterway system in the north-eastern and central eastern plains passes through eight of the countrys present-day provinces.
The Canal runs from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang Province in the south.Constructed in sections from the 5th century BC onwards, it was designed as a means of communication in the 7th century AD.The Canal is the worlds greatest civil engineering project before the Industrial Revolution.
The Grand Canal reached a peak in the 13th century, providing an inland navigation(航行) network consisting of more than 2,000 kilometers of artificial waterways, linking five of the most important river basins in China, including the Yellow River and the Yangtze.It entered a bid as a UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) cultural heritage site in 2008.
The Grand Canal cultural square is located in Beijings Tongzhou district.Ever since the Yuan dynasty 800 years ago, the Tongzhou section of the Grand Canal has been the life blood of Beijing.Grain and building materials were all transported to meet the endless demands of the big cities.Even today, the Grand Canal plays a major role in the lives of its citizens.
“I grew up near the Grand Canal.In the past the waterway was a lot narrower, but now it?s nice and wide and bridges are built over it.I think if the bid for world heritage status succeeds, it will greatly make Tongzhou more famous in the world, especially with Tongzhou aiming to be a sub-center of the capital Beijing,” a citizen said.
The result of the bid is set to be released next week, and no doubt it will certainly make it into the history books if the Canal is listed as a world heritage site.
1.It can be concluded from the passage that________.
A.The bid’s result of the Canal will be announced soon
B.the Canal is the UNESCOs newest world heritage site
C.the Canal is to connect Tongzhou with Zhejiang Province

A.when it was aimed as a means of communication
B.when it crossed theYellow River and the Yangtze

D.when it was designed as an artificial waterway
答案 C [细节理解题5世纪,在公元七世纪成为了重要的交通枢纽,并且从第二段的最后一句“The Canal is the worlds greatest civil engineering project before the Industrial Revolution”,可知应选C。]

A.Tongzhou used to be the capital of the Yuan dynasty.
B.Most citizens living inTongzhou depend on the Canal.
C.Tongzhou will benefit if the Canal is made a heritage site.

答案 C [推理判断题。根据第第I think if the bid for world heritage status succeeds,it will greatly make Tongzhou more famous in the world,especially with Tongzhou aiming to be a sub-center of the capital Beijing”,可知若大运河申遗成功,整个地区将受益不少,故选C正确。]

Passage 5 (2024·皖江名校联考)
话题:聪明的女孩
词数:302
(CNN)—A 12-year-old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.
Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa,Cattell III B paper,suggesting she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.The comparison doesnt__sit__well__with the British student,whos currently in Year 8 at Colchester County high school,a selective girls grammar school in Essex,England.
“I dont think I can be compared to such great intellectuals such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.They’ve achieved so much.I don’t think it’s right,” Lydia told CNN.
Lydia sat the test in her summer holidays,after raising the idea with her parents and pestering (纠缠)them for the best part of a year.It turns out the test wasnt that hard after all.
“I was really nervous before the test and I thought it was going to be really hard.But as I started the test,I thought it was a bit easier than I thought it was going to be,” she said.
Lydias not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school,although shes leaning toward something “based around Maths,because its one of my favorite subjects.” “All I’m going to do is work as hard as I can,and see where that gets me,” she said.
To explain Lydias
mark’s
level,the top adult score in the Cattell III B test,which primarily tests verbal(语言) reasoning,is 161.A top 2% score—which allows entry to Mensa,the club for those with high IQs—would be 148 or over.Lydia scored 162,placing her in the top 1% of the population.
1.Lydia wanted to have an IQ test because ________.
A.all people around thought that she was smart
B.she felt that she might have a high IQ
C.her parents strongly wanted her to do so
