A

When Caster Pettway, 67, was a girl,

there were always quilts around. They were on

the beds and sofas in her house. Sometimes,

her mother would hang a quilt outside to show

it off to the neighbours. She always seemed to

be making a new one. “And everybody in every

house did the same thing,” Pettway says.

Pettway grew up in the 1960s in Gee?s

Bend, Alabama, a tiny community on the

Alabama River. Now, it is seen as the

birthplace of an important art form.

Women in Gee?s Bend took up quilting

sometime in the 1800s. They made quilts out

of necessity: They needed them to keep warm.

They didn?t have proper fabric(织物), so they

cut up old clothing and sewed the pieces

together. They didn?t use designs seen in

traditional quilts. They cut their fabric into

large, often irregular ( 不规则的) shapes.

Their large, beautiful quilts were unlike any

others in the world.

In 1998, art collector William Arnett saw

a photo of a Gee?s Bend quilt. He was so

impressed that he visited the town and bought

the quilt. He returned again and again. In

2002, Arnett showed these quilts in museums

around the country. They took the art world by

storm. Many experts compared the Gee?s Bend

quilts to paintings by European artists. A

writer for The New York Times called the quilts

“some of the most wonderful works of modern

art America has produced”.

Today, locals are making sure that

quilting improves their lives. In February,

Gee?s Bend quilters began selling their works

online for the first time. Leaders are introducing

the town as a tourist town. This has encouraged

the next generation to carry on the tradition.

Pettway says some of her young family

members have taken up quilting. “And I?ll tell

you what,” she says. “ They?re getting pretty

good. ”

1. Which of the following best describes Gee?s

Bend quilts in the 1960s?

A. They didn?t sell well.

B. They cost a lot to make.

C. They weren?t popular with locals.

D. They could be seen in every family.

2. How were Gee?s Bend quilts different from

traditional ones?

A. They had a unique style.

B. They had very regular shapes.

C. They were made of fine fabric.

D. They were made by famous artists.

3. What did Arnett think of Gee?s Bend quilts?

A. They were works of art.

B. They were nothing special.

C. They would go out of style.

D. They would be big business.

4. What can we infer about Gee?s Bend quilting

from the last paragraph?

A. It will die out in the near future.

B. It will be included in local school courses.

C. It will make no difference to the community.

D. It will be passed down to the younger

generation.

B

Fourteen-year-old Thuch Salik became an

overnight star last year, after a video of him

selling souvenirs at Angkor Archaeological

Park in multiple languages and dialects went

popular online.

At the time of the video being filmed,

Thuch lived with his parents and two brothers

close to the park. His parents had relocated

the family from the city of Battambang to Siem

Reap to work in the tourist trade, but got into

great debts during the move.

Thuch was always a bright boy and often

begged his mother to allow him to study foreign

languages, but she had no money to provide

lessons for him. Yet this didn?t fail the

determined teenager.

“ I learnt from tourists. When they say

something, I listen. One day, two days, three

days, I listened,” said Thuch. “ I remember,

and I say like the tourists. ”

Since the video was posted, Thuch and

his family have received donations and offers of

help from around the world.

Initially, Thuch went with his mother and

younger brother to Phnom Penh and was sent

to BELTEI International School by a Cambodian

businessman. This month, however, Thuch Salik

flew to China to begin his study at Hailiang

Foreign Language School in Zhejiang Province,

China.

Zhejiang Hailiang Charity Foundation will

fully cover Thuch?s expenses until he finishes

university, or even doctoral study, according

to a statement from the Hailiang Education

Group.

The group revealed that a major factor in

giving Thuch this chance to realise his dreams

is due to their newly-launched “One Belt One

Road ” International Talent Study-in-China

Philanthropic Programme. As a part of this

programme, Hailiang will offer scholarships to

talented youths in BRI countries from poor

backgrounds.

5. What might be the best way to learn foreign

languages according to Thuch?

A. Communicating with local tourists day

after day.

B. Receiving education at foreign language

schools.

C. Moving to the country speaking target

languages.

D. Learning from actions, and acting from

learning.

6. How could Thuch study at Hailiang Foreign

Language School?

A. He passed serious tests.

B. His parents relocated the family.

C. He benefitted from “One Belt One Road”.

D. He got help from a Cambodian businessman.

7. What can we know about Thuch?

A. He is natural for languages.

B. He moves to China from Battambang.

C. He becomes rich from the tourist trade.

D. He is determined to get formal schooling.

8. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. A little Cambodian businessman becomes

popular.

B. A little trader gets rid of poverty by

learning languages.

C. A little Cambodian language genius comes

to China to study.

D. A little boy becomes a video star by

selling souvenirs.

driven tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes.

Using Huawei?s newly-released ( 新发行的)

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 realised 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, threedimensional models with the real Mogao

Grottoes. It has not only recreated 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 colourful virtual content to enrich the

experience of Mogao Art on the platform,

helping people around the world get to know

Dunhuang Art better.

9. Which is NOT the advantage of the Hetu

technology?

A. Help to protect the cultural relics.

B. Decrease the cost of the visitors.

C. Offer more information to tourists.

D. Reduce the time visitors spend inside the

cave.

10. What does the underlined word “preserve”

in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Protect. B. Recommend.

C. Explore. D. Improve.

11. What?s the author?s attitude towards the

cooperation between Dunhuang and

Huawei?

A. Doubtful. B. Negative.

C. Hopeful. D. Indifferent.

12. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Huawei newly released Hetu AI.

B. Dunhuang Grottoes attract tourists.

C. Dunhuang Academy protects grottoes well.

D. AI tech helps tourists enjoy Dunhuang Art.

Can you imagine digging in your yard one

day and finding a life-sized soldier made

completely of clay? That?s what happened

several decades ago when farmers in Xi?an,

China were digging wells.

Archaeologists have since found about

6,000 more of these soldiers, along with

horses, weapons, tools, and other artefacts.

The huge army was meant to protect the tomb

of the first ruler of China. The first emperor of

?

英语·必修·第二册

China, Qinshihuang, accomplished a huge

amount during his rule. Between 221 and 210

BCE, he started the construction of the Great

Wall. He built a large network of roads. He

introduced a new writing system, currency(货

币), and a set of measurements. The emperor

also ordered the construction of a huge army of

life-sized terracotta soldiers. These, he hoped,

would protect his tomb after his death.

The soldiers in Xi?an?s terracotta museum

are today light brown, but they weren?t always.

They began as an army of red, blue, yellow,

green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the

colours did not last to the present day. After

being exposed to air during excavation(挖掘),

the coating under the paint began to fall off.

The paint disappeared in less time than it takes

to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces

of history.

Now new techniques are starting to reveal

the army?s true colours. Archaeologists have

recently discovered an area with more than a

hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their

painted features, including black hair, pink

faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and

German researchers have developed a special

liquid to help preserve the soldiers? colours.

After they find a soldier or other artefacts,

archaeologists spray it with the liquid. They

then cover it in plastic. Archaeologists are also

finding colours in the dirt around the soldier.

It?s important not to disturb the dirt, so the

colours won?t be lost. “ We are treating the

earth as an artefact,” says archaeologist Rong

Bo, the museum?s leading chemist. “The next

challenge,” says Rong, “ is to find a way to

apply the colours to the army again. ” Once

that happens, artists can bring Emperor

Qinshihuang?s army back to life in full, vivid

colour.

13. The terracotta soldiers were constructed to

.

A. show the outside world about China?s

greatness

B. be enjoyed by everyday people

C. frighten China?s enemies

D. protect Emperor Qinshihuang?s tomb

14. What is the main idea of the third

paragraph?

A. The soldiers lost their colours very

quickly.

B. The soldiers? paint fell off because of the

high temperature.

C. Visitors to the museum are not actually

seeing the real soldiers.

D. Being exposed to water is bad for the

soldiers.

15. What have archaeologists recently discovered?

A. A place with over a hundred soldiers.

B. A written description of the soldiers? true

colours.

C. A special liquid in the tomb to preserve

the soldiers? colours.

D. A new tomb for Emperor Qinshihuang.

16. Which statement would Rong Bo probably

agree with?

A. The soldiers should stay in their current,

brown colour.

B. Artists should be able to paint the

soldiers in any colour they want.

C. Archaeologists can only guess at the

soldiers? original colours.

D. We should try to restore the army?s vivid

colours.

Colombia?s Chiribiquete National Park,

which is the largest protected tropical forest in

the world, was just named a UNESCO World

Heritage Site for its outstanding universal value

for nature and people. It was built in 1989 and

has been expanded twice and now covers 4. 4

million hectares ( 公顷 ) in the Northern

Amazon. This is a great win for environmentalists.

Chiribiquete National Park has a high rate

of species variety. It is home to almost 3,000

animal and plant species, many of which are

endangered outside of this amazing protected

area. The park is also home to a huge amount

of species that are distinctive to this region.

Some of them have been decided to be many

years old. According to UNESCO, “The park,

which is located in the middle of two

Pleistocene refuges ( Napo and Imeri ) and

functions as a corridor (走廊) between three

biogeographic provinces ( Orinoquia, Guyana,

and Amazonia), hosts many special species. ”

The National Heritage designation(称号)

marks the great success of decades of joint

conservation(保护) efforts by the Colombian

government, the World Wide Fund for Nature

(WWF), and other environmental organisations.

“This is an important moment for the protection

of key ecosystems in Colombia,” said Mary

Lou Higgins, Director of WWF Colombia. “The

recognition of this unique place as a World

Heritage Site is a significant step towards

protecting forests for future generations. It is a

milestone for the Amazon and for forest

conservation globally. ”

Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos

said that he welcomed the UNESCO designation

and considered it as great news for Colombia.

He promised to increase the conservation funds

by an additional ＄525 million to better protect

the country?s environment. However, it is still

a long way to go in protecting the park for

generations to come.

1. What do we know about Chiribiquete National

Park?

A. Its natural beauty has been damaged a lot.

B. Its value has got international recognition.

C. Its species have a big influence on tourism.

D. Its large size attracts environmentalists?

attention.

2. What does the underlined word “distinctive”

in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Harmful. B. Common.

C. Friendly. D. Unique.

A. The park?s environmental problems have

B. The ecosystems in Colombia are in a

dangerous situation.

C. The designation of the park is meaningful

to forest protection.

D. The future generations should consider

4. What would Juan Manuel Santos like to do

Every year, millions of people visit the

world?s ancient monuments ( 古迹), such as

the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt(built around

2500 BCE ), and Britain?s 4,500-year-old

stone circle at Stonehenge. As the years pass,

stones often start to break into pieces and

things fall apart. The Great Sphinx has lost its

nose. Various stones are missing or have fallen

over at Stonehenge. The Colosseum in Rome

has no floor covering its underground rooms.

The director of the Colosseum, Alfonsina

Russo, said that building a new floor would

give us back the same view from the stage of

the monument that it had in ancient times.

However, some historians said it would be “ a

shame” to change the historic building. So

what do you think? Should ancient monuments

be altered?

What is the point of an ancient monument

if it?s not attracting visitors? Visitors want to

know what it was like to be there when the

place was being used. Alterations allow visitors

to do this. The new floor in the Colosseum will

move, so people can stand where the gladiators

(角斗士) stood and still see what lies under

it. Altering monuments creates jobs for skilled

workers. It also increases tourism and develops

the local economy. English Heritage, an

organisation that looks after more than 400

historic sites in England, says, “ Careful

management is needed if we are to pass them

on to future generations in good condition. ”

Careful management requires alterations.

However, some think people should let

time and nature work their magic. Leaving

monuments as they are and letting time and

nature do their work often results in the best

alterations. The Jungle Temple of Ta Prohm in

Cambodia is an untouched ancient monument

where trees grow through the building. As well

as being beautiful, it is mysterious(神秘的).

In Egypt, there are many stories about the

Sphinx?s missing nose. No one knows the truth

but people can wonder at the mystery. Art

historian Tomaso Montanari called the

Colosseum?s new floor “ a false arena(假的斗

兽场 )”. He said, “ The idea that the

monument as it is is not enough is all very

silly. ”

5. What situation are ancient monuments facing?

A. They are slowly damaged.

B. They are losing their popularity.

C. They are rebuilt without scientific support.

D. They are not protected because of money

problems.

6. What might Alfonsina Russo?s attitude be to

building the new floor?

A. Unclear. B. Doubtful.

C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.

Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Experience what the monument was like

long ago.

B. Get pleasure from visiting the monument.

C. Learn how the monument was built.

D. Protect the monument.

8. What did Tomaso Montanari think of the

Colosseum?s new floor?

A. It would increase tourism.

B. It would be an unnecessary change.

C. It would give skilled workers job chances.

D. It would fail to show the Colosseum?s

(2023·保定高一检测)For Shi Qinling,

a pair of scissors has been with her everywhere

she goes for the past decade—not as a means

of self-protection, but as an artistic expression.

英语·必修·第二册

To this paper cutting artist, scissors are

like what brushes are to painters, or what pens

are to writers. Always taking a pair of scissors

also allows her to create art whenever

inspiration hits. Most of her paper cutting

works are inspired by moments in daily life,

such as a neighbour?s dog, her own pets and

scenes on the streets. “ Some people like to

pen their feelings in diaries. I prefer to cut

them out,” she said.

In 2010, she started learning paper

cutting from Xi Xiaoqin, the national inheritor

(继承人) of the intangible cultural heritage of

paper cutting. Six years later, Shi was named

as a Shanghai paper-cutting inheritor and

became the city?s “ youngest inheritor” of the

paper cutting heritage. Over the past decade,

Shi?s works have been exhibited in 23

exhibition.

Similar to local dialects, paper-cutting

comes in different styles, depending on the

region. In general, the paper cutting artworks

in the country?s northern area are usually rough

patterns used as decorations on windows,

walls, roofs, lanterns and other household

items. In southern China, paper cutting is

used as the base pattern for embroidery(刺绣)

and requires more careful workmanship.

Shanghai paper-cutting, on the other hand, is

a combination of these two styles. Since the

1960s, Shanghai paper cutting has been more

frequently adopted in artworks and handicrafts.

“We are very proud to have this unique

folk culture and art project. As we have the

responsibility to protect and inherit this cultural

heritage, we will make more efforts to attract

people from different age groups and different

fields to try paper-cutting,” said Liu Li,

Say you are a 17th century construction

(建筑) worker who?s worked long and hard to

build a splendid tower for the dead wife of your

emperor(皇帝).

Now say that the emperor orders you to cut

off your fingertips so you can never build

another one. Yes, that is the Taj Mahal(泰姬

陵), one of the most famous buildings in the

world. And the tale(传说) behind the construction

is just as impressive ( 印象深刻的) as the

building itself.

First, there?s the emperor of northern

India, Shah Jehan, also called the King of the

World. In 1612, Shah Jehan married Mumtaz

Mahal. Madly in love, they had 14 children

over the next 19 years. But then sadness came.

As Mumtaz was about to give birth to child

Number 14, she said she had heard her unborn

baby cry out. It was a sign of death. And as

Mumtaz lay dying, she asked Jehan to build a

lasting memorial ( 纪念物) to celebrate their

love.

When the heartbroken Jehan appeared

eight days after his wife?s death, his people

were shocked to see that his coal-black hair

had turned snow-white.

Putting away his sadness, Jehan ordered

his wife?s dying wish be carried out (执行).

More than 20,000 workers laboured nearly 22

years to complete the construction. In 1653,

Jehan placed Mumtaz?s remains in the centre

under the building.

And then, son Number five, Aurangzeb,

murdered his brothers and took over the power

from his aging father. Jehan lived the rest of

his days—eight years, to be exact—imprisoned

not far from the Taj Mahal. Jehan was only

allowed to climb onto the top of his prison to

see the timeless treasure from a distance(从远

处). But never again would he be allowed to

visit it—until he was buried next to his wife.

Today 25,000 people visit the Taj Mahal

each day. Though the reason for building the

tower was a strange, sad story, those who see

its breathtaking beauty are reminded of the

happiness that inspired its construction.

5. The first two paragraphs were written to show

that .

A. the Taj Mahal is an unusual historic building

B. ancient Indian emperors were cruel

C. construction workers led a hard life in

ancient India

D. India has some of the most famous

buildings in the world

6. The Taj Mahal was first built as .

A. a prison

B. a gift to Mumtaz

C. a memorial building

D. a tourist attraction

7. When did Mumtaz probably die according to

the text?

A. In 1626. B. In 1631.

C. In 1634. D. In 1653.

8. What does the underlined word “happiness”

in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The married happiness of the emperor and

his wife.

B. The great pleasure Jehan once found in

exercising his power.

C. The happiness Jehan felt on completing

the Taj Mahal.

D. The pleasure tourists experience when

visiting the Taj Mahal.

For nearly 50 years, Zhao Yuming has

been absorbed in his own world of clay

figurines(泥塑). At age 62, Zhao is the only

remaining clay sculpture master craftsman in

Laoting County, Hebei Province. He has been

officially recognised as a master of intangible

cultural heritage. 1 This is more of a

responsibility and a source of pressure.

2 In ancient times, Laoting clay

figurines were mainly children?s toys made by

countryside artists. After the founding of the

were several workshops in villages in Laoting

level, but the prices were too low. 3

However, for a long period, many clay artists

relied on making and selling clay figurines at

those poor prices to make ends meet.

Nowadays, shopping malls are full of

high-end toys, so the Laoting clay figurines

have gradually fallen out of favour. 4

Zhao said that although his children have other

jobs to feed their families, he still wants to

pass on his skills to them and his

grandchildren. “ If we do not pass it on, we

will do a disservice to our country. Passing on

the skills, honouring ourselves and repaying

the country is the best option. ”

Facing a demand for economic development,

many regions are increasingly attaching importance

to the protection of valuable traditional cultural

skills. People come to realise that developing

our cultural relics promotes the development of

local economies. 5

A. But for him, this is not only an honour.

B. Laoting clay sculpture has a nearly 500-year

history.

C. Laoting clay sculpture is an important part of

Zhao?s life.

D. Later, it became known as “ literary clay

figurines”.

E. Clay figurines were sold for just a few

pennies each.

F. However, some craftsmen have chosen to

continue the tradition.

G. More importantly, it contributes to the goal

of building “a beautiful China”.

The ancient city of Chichen Itza in

southern Mexico was one of the most powerful

cities and one of the most powerful ancient

cultures—the Maya. But today, no one lives

there. It is only a group of old buildings.

However, people from around the world still

come to see it. People come to learn about its

ancient culture, the culture of the Mayan

people.

The Mayan culture began almost 3,000

years ago and grew in parts of Central

America. But about 1,000 years ago a group

called the Itza invaded the city and built new

parts of the city based on natural wells. They

named the city Chichen Itza, which means

“mouth of the well of the Itza ”. The most

interesting structure in Chichen Itza is the

Pyramid of Kukulcan ( 库库尔坎金字塔),

whose four sides all come together at one point

at the top. Each side on the Pyramid of

Kukulcan has 91 steps. And there is one more

step at the top of the pyramid. The steps are as

many as the days of a year. Some experts

believe the Maya could have used this building

to help them know when to plant crops. Each

day the sun falls on a different step of the

pyramid, which could be a way to follow the

year.

The people of Chichen Itza especially

designed one building to observe and study the

movement of the stars and planets. Experts say

that the observatory ( 天文台) is one of the

most complex structures the Maya built. A set

of steps go up and around the observatory

tower. And there are windows in the tower.

Each window has a purpose. Experts believe

that a person looking through one of these

windows can see particular stars on particular

dates. The Maya might have believed that

studying the stars could tell them the future.

Chichen Itza is now a UNESCO World

Heritage Site and an important part of the

world?s history. Get interested? Then pay a

visit to it to find more!

1. Why do visitors come to the city of Chichen

Itza?

A. To view its beautiful scenery.

B. To experience and explore the Mayan

culture.

C. To study and observe stars on the

observatory.

D. To learn something about when to plant

crops.

2. Why did the invaders name the city “mouth

of the well of the Itza”?

A. Because wells can be seen in or around

the city.

B. Because it is large in size.

C. Because the city is newly built.

D. Because its location is vital.

3. What?s the author?s purpose in writing the

text?

A. To evaluate the Mayan culture.

B. To persuade readers to pay a visit.

C. To introduce the ancient city of Chichen

Itza.

D. To present the development of the Mayan

construction.

The ruins of a huge Maya city have been

discovered in Guatemala with the help of the

remote sensing technique LiDAR, according to

the National Geographic on Thursday.

This breakthrough was possible thanks to

LiDAR sensors, which can survey landscapes

in 3D by reflecting laser pulses off the ground

from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR

is exceptionally useful for detecting

archaeological sites, as it gets through jungles

and other features that hold up exploration on

the ground. The technique has been the

activator ( 催化剂) of many discoveries in

recent years. For instance, major finds at

Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can

explain what it did.

This large lost city envelops sites like

Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna—known for their

temples and pyramids—but shows that these

famous heritage areas are the tip of the iceberg

of this lost urban network.

Hidden under the jungles of the Maya

Biosphere Reserve, more than 60,000 humanmade features—homes, canals, highways, some

of which can even reach the modernised

standard—have been identified by an

international cooperation of researchers headed

by the PACUNAM Foundation, a Maya

cultural and natural heritage organisation.

Those have experts rethinking the outlines and

complexity of the Maya Empire.

These ancient peoples obviously

established these imaginative cultures based on

their known relics, but the new research has

shown that the scale of this lost society is far

beyond what experts had imagined. The

findings will be explored in an hour-long

documentary called Lost Treasures of the Maya

Snake Kings, premiering(首映) on Tuesday,

6 February on the National Geographic Channel.

“ There are entire cities we didn?t know

about now showing up in the survey data,”

said Francisco Belli, one of the lead

archaeologists on the project. “ There are

20,000 square kilometres more to be explored

and there are going to be hundreds of cities

there that we don?t know about, and we will

push the frontiers,” he added.

4. What can we know about LiDAR?

A. It?s a breakthrough in archaeology.

B. It?s major equipment in air forces.

C. It was first used in discovering a Maya city.

D. It?s a remote sensing technique using laser

pulses.

5. What does the underlined word “Those” in

Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The jungles of the Reserve.

B. The outlines of the Maya Empire.

C. The researchers of the organisation.

D. The man-made projects of the Reserve.

6. Which of the following words can best

describe the Maya Empire?

A. Famous and dangerous.

B. Vast and highly developed.

C. Mountainous and aggressive.

D. Enormous and traditional.

7. What do archaeologists hope to do next?

A. Restudy the history of Maya.

B. Use the LiDAR sensors as usual.

C. Continue to explore the unknown.

D. Study the documentary more carefully.

( 2023 · 泉州高一检测 ) Suddenly

screams echo through the forest as alarmed

animals such as spotted deer warn each other of

a predator?s(食肉动物) approach. Lying on

my stomach with my camera in front of me,

I?ve been watching a nearby stream for hours,

waiting. This may be it.

Yes! A 380-pound lioness steps from the

trees and heads towards the stream. She

crouches(蹲伏) down to drink. She?s close to

me—no more than 50 yards away. She stands

up and begins to walk towards me, not knowing

I?m there.

When she is just about 20 yards away, I

move my camera slightly so that she notices

me. I don?t want to shock or panic her. She

freezes for a moment, then takes a crouching

position and continues towards me, which was

not really the reaction I wanted! I?m thinking,

“Uh-oh, I?m about to become cat food!” I?ve

approached lions before, but this is a first.

The lion approaches me. If I stand up and

yell, will she leave? Maybe, maybe not. If I

stand up and run, will she run after me?

Probably. So I decide to stay put.

The lioness comes closer and closer until

she?s only about four yards from me—the

closest distance that still allows me to focus my

camera lens.

Surprisingly, she lies down, posing like a

statue in front of me. This makes me feel very

small and humble ( 卑微的). Then she rolls

over and looks at me upside down! She seems

a little puzzled and appears to be trying to

figure me out—hmm, are you suitable to be

eaten? You don?t look dangerous. I think

you?re OK.

Breathe slowly, I remind myself, even

though my heart is beating fast. I carefully

back up my tripod(三脚架) just a bit to where

I can focus and shoot the picture.

Suddenly—so fast that it surprises me—

she leaps up. In a flash, she runs away. I?m

left filled with emotion—the experience felt

like a gift from the forest. Getting this

photograph took a long time. I spent two years

waiting for a permit to track the extremely rare

Asiatic lions in the Gir Forest of India. Then I

spent three months on foot searching for them.

There are only about 300 of these endangered

lions left.

Perhaps all the waiting in the forest gave

the lioness time to get used to me. I tried not

to disturb her life. My reward? A moment I?ll

never forget.

4. How does the author feel when the lioness

comes near to him?

A. Relaxed and calm.

B. Bored and puzzled.

C. Anxious but proud.

D. Frightened but excited.

5. What does the lioness do after coming close

to the author?

A. She pretends to be dead.

B. She stays for a second and then goes

away.

C. She tries to attack him.

D. She recognises the author and stares

at him.

Happy news arrived from Colorado this

week as Colorado Parks and Wildlife ( CPW)

announced that two wolves, John M2101 and

Jane F1084, had been spotted with multiple

pups(幼崽). The gray wolves and their pups

were first sighted by a wildlife biologist and

CPW district wildlife manager. The good news

follows the decision to reintroduce gray wolves

to the state just last year.

To gain further confirmation, CPW staff

conducted three separate observations to see

what was happening at the den ( 窝) from a

safe distance. This confirmed the presence of

the collared wolves John and Jane, who were

joined by three pups. The true group size

remains to be seen, however, as it?s possible

there may be more that have not yet been

spotted. Gray wolf dens usually contain around

four to six pups.

“Colorado is now home to our first wolf

den since the 1940s,” said Governor Jared

Polis in a statement. “ We welcome this

historic den and the new wolf family to

Colorado. With voter passage last year of the

project to require reintroduction of the wolf by

the end of 2023, these pups will have plenty of

potential mates when they grow up to start their

own families. ”

“ It?s incredible that these two adult

animals have travelled the distance and

overcome the challenges they have to get here,

and to now have pups in Colorado,” said Kris

Middledorf, area wildlife manager for CPW.

“Our first duty is to ensure that they have the

chance to boom, so even as we have exciting

news, we want to remind everyone that these

animals remain endangered in Colorado. ”

The status of gray wolves is backed up by

law in the western state, where killing an

endangered species can result in the removal of

hunting privileges, a fine of ＄100,000, and

even jail time. It?s also prohibited to hunt

wildlife in the state—but with acute hearing

and excellent eyesight, leaving these smart

animals should be easy enough if you don?t go

looking for them.

8. What made CPW researchers happy recently?

A. They found gray wolf pups in Colorado.

B. Two gray wolves were released to the wild.

C. The state decided to reintroduce gray

wolves.

D. They discovered a few groups of wolves

and pups.

9. What is mainly conveyed in Jared Polis?

statement?

A. Gray wolves are welcome back to Colorado.

B. Colorado voted for the introduction of the

wolf.

C. Colorado is the best place for gray wolves

to survive.

(2023·宜昌高一检测) Fish cats are a

kind of cats that love water and love to fish.

They are like tigers and lions, only much

smaller, around twice the size of our average

pet cats. They live in wetlands of South Asia

and mangrove forests (红树林) of South and

Southeast Asia. Like many endangered species,

fish cats were in danger of dying out more than

twenty years ago, mainly because of the great

international need for fish food and the people?s

cutting of the mangroves at an extremely fast

speed.

Mangroves of Southeast Asia are home to a

great many fantastic species, like fish cats,

turtles, shorebirds and others. Mangroves can

protect soil, and they can be the first line of

protection between storms, tsunamis and the

millions of people who live next to them. The

fact is that mangroves can store almost five to

ten times more CO2

than other forests. So

protecting mangroves may well be like

protecting five to ten times more of other

forests.

Ten years ago, in South India, many

people came together to change the future of

their home. In less than 10 years, with

international support, the state forest departments

and the local people worked together to restore

over 20, 000 acres of unproductive fish and

shrimp farms back into mangroves. Now

experts are working with them in helping study

and protecting the mangroves as well as the

species living in them. Fish and shrimp

(2023·长沙高一检测)He may not have

an “ S” across his chest but this dog is most

certainly a hero.

Harley, who was rescued from a puppy

mill four years ago, was named the American

Humane Association?s 2015 American Hero

Dog. Harley, who is missing an eye and has

other medical issues from his time at the mill,

is now a “spokesdog” against puppy mills. He

serves as the adorable furry face of the “Harley

to the Rescue” campaign, which raises funds

for the National Dog Mill Rescue, according to

a press release.

The pup was rescued back in 2011 and

adopted by Rudi and her husband, Dan. “ It

was just four years ago that he was pulled from

the cage in the puppy mill and left to die,”

Harley?s owner, Rudi, said during the awards

show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los

Angeles this past weekend, according to

Today. com. “ We never would have ever

thought he would live this long and make such

a difference for so many puppies. ”

The dog was one of eight finalists up for

the American Hero Dog and was chosen as the

winner through public votes. The finalists all

won ＄1,500 to be donated to one of American

Humane Association?s charity partners, with

Harley receiving another ＄5,000 to go towards

his charity partner, New Leash On Life.

According to the release, Harley spent 10

years at the puppy mill, and endured rough

treatment there, which led to his many medical

issues. He lost his eye as a result of his cage

being power-washed with him inside.

The dog isn?t just the face of his

campaign, he also goes on rescue missions and

makes public appearances at events and

schools to raise awareness for puppy mills.

This incredible work is all due to the dog?s

fighting spirit. That spirit is allowing him now

to be the voice for dogs who cannot speak for

themselves and give everybody hope that

tomorrow?s going to be a better day.

(2023·襄阳高一检测) Mr Pagano is

watching a video of a polar bear swimming after

a seal. The seal escapes! The bear meets

another bear. They sniff at each other and then

go separate ways. What makes this video so

unusual is that it?s from the point of view of the

polar bear. A camera was previously (先前)

put around the bear?s neck by Mr Pagano?s

research team with the aim to find out what

polar bears will need to survive in their

changing habitat.

According to the scientists, polar bears

are endangered because of Earth?s warming

climate, which is shrinking the ice pack that

floats on the Arctic Ocean. The ice pack goes

through a yearly cycle. In the fall and winter,

the ice pack grows southward, extending

towards North America, Asia, and Europe. By

the ending of winter, the ice pack lies over

shallower waters near land, where seals live.

The polar bears hunt along the edge of that

ice, eating seals in the spring and early

summer before the ice over shallow waters

melts. It?s how the bears fatten up for the next

winter.

In the past few decades, the ice pack has

started to grow later in the fall. As a result, it

isn?t as thick and starts to melt and break up

earlier in the spring. That gives the bears less

sea ice for hunting and forces some of them to

swim farther to move between land and ice

habitats. Studies show that, in places where

the ice has been breaking up earlier for

decades, the number of bears is going down,

and their overall health is getting worse.

Scientists want to know if bears are still finding

enough to eat and how far they have to travel,

or swim, to find food.

Using the GPS collars, the researchers

confirmed(证实) that some bears are swimming

long distances. Of 52 bears, 20 took a total of

50 long-distance swims, each one a journey of

more than 30 miles. Are the long-distance

travels harming their chances for survival? If

polar bears are going to survive in the warming

Arctic, humans may need to act right now.

With the work of scientists like Mr Pagano, a

ray of hope will finally cut open the darkness.

5. What might be the profession of Mr Pagano?

A. A climate scientist. B. A zoologist.

C. A GPS engineer. D. An ice observer.

6. Why is the video special according to the

英语·必修·第二册

decided to return home after a week. The rest

have continued their journey northward,

stopping only for a short break in November

2020 to allow a newly-born elephant and its

mother to recover.

Since leaving the reserve, the elephants

have walked over 500 kilometres. Along the

way, they entered farms for food and water,

walked through urban streets and even paid a

visit to a car dealership and a retirement home.

No animals or people were hurt. However, they

destroyed more than ＄1 million worth of crops.

Researchers are not sure why the elephants

decided to leave or where they are headed.

While they are known to leave their habitats in

search of food, this is the longest migration of

wild elephants recorded in China. Because of

this, some guess that the elephants may be

lost. However, others think the elephants were

forced to move due to deforestation. Successful

conservation efforts have almost doubled the

elephant population in the Xishuangbanna

National Nature Reserve. However, their

natural habitat has been greatly reduced.

“ As their populations increase, they

search for more food,” Becky Shu Chen said.

“You could say that the increase in agricultural

land in their region is like finding a big sweet

shop, right on their doorstep. ”

The wandering herd?s search for a suitable

home was noticed by locals who eagerly

followed their daily movements on social

media. Adam Chang, assigned to deliver food

to the elephants, says, “Before this meeting, I

just felt curious about animals. Now, I think I

would volunteer in animal rights groups to

preserve those giant creatures. ”

1. Why did the wild elephants stop temporarily

in November 2020?

A. To pay a visit to a car dealership.

B. To enjoy the food given by local people.

C. To wait for a baby elephant and its mum

to recover.

D. To figure out whether they were in the

right direction.

2. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A. Elephants never leave their home.

B. The elephants couldn?t find their way

home.

C. Elephants population has decreased for

human activities.

D. Scientists don?t know why the elephants

leave their home.

3. What do Adam Chang?s words in the last

paragraph mean?

A. The elephants have the rights to move.

B. The elephants are annoyed of being

followed.

C. The elephants are helped by locals to find

a suitable home.

D. The elephants help to raise people?s

awareness of animal protection.

4. What is the text mainly about?

A. China?s wild elephants are always on the

( 2023 · 徐州高一检测) As seabird

biologist Bonnie Slaton slides off a small boat

and walks through high water, the brown

pelicans ( 鹈鹕) spread their wings overhead

until she reaches Raccoon Island. The narrow

island is a small piece of land separating the

American state of Louisiana from the Gulf of

Mexico. During the seabird breeding ( 繁殖)

season, the place, one of the few remaining

places of safety for the pelicans, is full of noise.

Twelve years ago, there were 15 low-lying

islands with breeding areas for Louisiana?s state

bird. However, today, only about six islands

in southeastern Louisiana have brown pelican

nests and the rest have disappeared underwater.

Slaton and other scientists set up cameras

to observe pelican nests on the island. The

cameras show that in recent years the pelicans

have faced some natural disasters. The main

killer of them is flooding, which can wash away

all the nests, as happened in April 2021. The

disappearing islands are the location of a story

of successful conservation. For many years,

scientists have worked to bring the pelicans

back from totally dying off.

Mike Carloss is a state wildlife biologist in

Louisiana. He said he never saw brown

pelicans as a child in the 1960s. Their

populations had been killed by the use of

DDT, a kind of farm chemical. It thinned

eggshells and prevented pelicans from giving

birth to young birds. The beloved birds were

completely gone from Louisiana, only appearing

on the state flag. But a long-running effort to

save them led to the birds? return. After DDT

was stopped in the US in 1972, biologists

brought young pelicans from nearby Florida to

let them inhabit empty islands across the Gulf

of Mexico again. More than 1,200 pelicans

have been set free in southeastern Louisiana

over 13 years.

The brown pelicans can live more than 20

years. So, the final effect of disappearing

breeding areas is uncertain and it will still take

time to become clear. And the future for

pelicans is uncertain on the islands.

5. What is a killer of brown pelicans?

A. The island movement.

B. The underwater noise.

C. The increase of human population.

D. The disappearance of breeding areas.

6. Why did the scientists set up cameras?

A. To stop illegal hunting.

B. To watch pelicans? home.

C. To predict serious flooding.

D. To record the number of pelicans.

7. What does the underlined word “inhabit” in

Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Live on. B. Focus on.

You do not have to be a bird expert to get

pest-control effects that will help your garden.

1 The answer includes using some plants

to feed insects(昆虫), which will attract

hungry birds. They could be different kinds of

plants that provide berries or seeds all year.

The Audubon Society?s Native Plants Database

is an excellent source of bird-friendly plant

suggestions for your area.

2 In the cold winter weather food is

in short supply. As autumn leaves fall to the

ground, place them under trees to attract

insects to feed the birds. And as the leaves

break down, they will enrich the soil to make

spring plants grow better.

Set a bird feeder in the garden. 3 To

avoid spreading diseases that can make birds

sick, provide only enough seeds to last a few

days, and clean the feeder at least twice a

month.

Choose high-quality seeds high in fat and

protein, like unsalted peanuts or black-oil

sunflower seeds. 4

Place the bird feeder in a different place

regularly to avoid the build-up of waste seeds

and bird droppings on the ground.

And avoid using chemical poisons(毒药)

to kill pests. 5 Pests that eat or touch the

poisons can be eaten by birds, which can be

killed as a result.

A. Young birds love to eat insects.

B. Choose one that can be easily cleaned.

C. Leave plants out for birds to eat in winter.

D. You do not necessarily kill pests immediately.

英语·必修·第二册

two billion people lack access to essential lifesaving supplies, such as blood and vaccines

(疫苗). In the African nation of Rwanda, for

example, several remote health clinics do not

have sufficient quantities of blood and other

healthcare products. A company called Zipline

is trying to address this problem. It uses drones

(无人机) to transport medical supplies around

Rwanda. A drone can now deliver medicine in

30 minutes.

Drones are also assisting emergency

organisations after natural disasters. In 2015,

for example, a powerful hurricane destroyed

thousands of buildings in the Pacific island

nation of Vanuatu. Around 75,000 people lost

their homes, and at least 15 died. After the

storm, drones photographed the damage. These

surveys helped emergency workers assess the

situation quickly and answer important

questions: Which areas were hardest hit? Were

crops damaged? What roads were affected?

Drones are also helping to protect wildlife

populations in parts of Africa and Asia. Every

year, poachers ( 偷猎者) kill thousands of

elephants, rhinos, and other endangered

animals. To stop them, the environmental

organisation World Wildlife Fund is using

drones to find where poachers are hiding and if

they are carrying weapons. Equipped with

infrared video cameras, drones can easily

identify people and animals at night. These

drones are not only helpful, they are affordable.

As well as finding poachers, drones can

be used to track animals. Scientists at Liverpool

John Moores University(LJMU) plan to employ

drones for an ambitious conservation project:

documenting the world?s wildlife. The longterm project will start with scientific surveys of

animal populations. And animal species can

then be identified using special software.

Ironically(讽刺地), a tool originally

created for military use is increasingly being

used to save lives instead of taking then.

Drones have the potential to provide solutions

that will benefit both humans and animals.

My elephant adventures began in 1984

when, with our one-year-old daughter, my

husband and I crossed the jungle in a jeep,

sticking behind a lorry for comfort and company.

The elephants standing like watchers on either

side of the forest highway had us praying for

our safety. One elephant made loud noise and

angrily pawed ( 抓) the ground, warning us

off. We raced away before they could attack.

It was wise to keep elephants at a distance.

We heard stories of tourists whose jeeps were

overturned, and a couple of photographers were

killed because they moved too close. Elephants

are misleading animals. They give people an

impression of being quiet and kind, so tourists

think it?s safe to picnic in the jungle. Yet

angry elephants have knocked them down in

seconds before they could take off.

Elephants might make life unpredictable

and dangerous. It?s even difficult for

inexperienced environmentalists to begin to

grasp this reality. I?ve heard city people say,

“We humans are encroaching(侵占) on their

forests. ” But what?s the solution?

When a poor farmer borrows heavily to

plant a crop, he?ll do anything to protect it.

His life depends on it. Elephants ruining an

about-to-be-harvested corn field cannot expect

to be welcomed like special guests. The battle

between beast and farmer is violent.

Experts are working on solutions to

human-elephant conflicts ( 冲突). Some are

sure to fail to like the plan to build electric

fences around human settlements. Elephants

rapidly figure them out and come in, around

and over them.

There are more questions than answers,

for sure. But as my husband said, “ More

people die in car accidents every single day, in

every city on the earth. But they won?t take

cars off the roads, will they?” So we need to

seek practical ways of preventing elephant

accidents.

5. What is the author?s purpose in writing

Paragraph 1?

A. To tell readers her family?s experience of

elephant adventures.

B. To show readers elephants are angry and

dangerous.

C. To introduce the topic of the whole passage.

D. To describe how her family keep away

from elephants.

6. Why do tourists think it is safe to picnic in

the jungle?

A. They think elephants are quiet and kind.

B. They haven?t heard the stories of elephant

killing people.

C. They like elephants too much.

D. They think they can race away in seconds.

7. What does a poor farmer do to protect his

crops?

A. Welcome elephants like special guests.

B. Fight with elephants for his harvest.

C. Stop planting crops.

D. Depend on elephants for his life.

8. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A. It is a good idea to build electric fences

around human settlements.

B. It is impossible to find a solution to settle

human-elephant conflicts.

C. We should first reduce car accidents to

prevent elephant accidents.

D. It is our duty to protect elephants rather

than kill them.

UNIT 3 THE INTERNET

课时作业 1 Listening and Speaking ☞链接答案 P270

阅读理解

A

(2023 · 湘潭高一检测) When I was

seven years old, my friend had got a computer

for his birthday. He invited me to play a simple

game, and we loved it! We played for hours.

We would meet after school every day to play

it. My addiction to computer games started then.

At first I played games over the Internet

after I had done my homework and eaten

dinner. Then I started playing as soon as I got

home each day. My parents stopped me, so I

started playing in the middle of the night. I

often fell asleep in class. My teacher would

scold me but I would often do the same thing

the next day! Shortly after that I began to skip

meals and play through the night. My parents

found out and took away my computer and

smartphone. I knew I had gone too far. My

love of computer games had become an

addiction. It was affecting(影响) my schoolwork

and my health, and I felt quite depressed

(沮丧).

Playing was fun, but I felt even more

worn out(筋疲力尽) afterwards! We can spoil

(破坏) good things by doing them too much. I

realised that it was very important to adjust(调

整) my lifestyle. I decided to take control of

my life and find other ways to relax.

To succeed in quitting, I had to replace it

with something else. So I thought about what to

try. Rock climbing bowling, watching comedies,

and playing basketball were the things I

thought of doing instead. I get refreshed

through climbing, spend more time with my

dad, and get to meet new friends. The more we

get together and laugh, the more relaxed I

feel. Besides, I can eat a little more food,

sleep soundly, and I?m almost in high spirits.

After six months of trying out new ways of

relaxing, I feel much more energetic(精力充

沛的). I feel that I can change myself for the

better. And if that?s true for me, then it might

truly be possible to change the world for

others. Just as the saying goes, “ Nothing is

difficult to a willing heart. ”

(2023·厦门高一检测) A city in South

Korea, which has the world?s largest number of

people using smartphones, has placed flashing

lights and laser beams at a road crossing to

warn “ smartphone zombies” to look up and

drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing

accidents.

The designers of the system were motivated

by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to

their phones will become victims in a country

that already has some of the highest road death

and injury rates among developed countries.

State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering

and Building Technology ( KICT) believes its

system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can

warn both pedestrians and drivers.

In addition to red, yellow and blue LED

lights on the pavement, “ smombies ” —

smartphone zombies— will be warned by laser

beams projected from power poles and a

warning sent to the phones by an app that they

are about to step into traffic.

“Increasing number of smombie accidents

have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these

zombie lights are essential to prevent these

pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior

researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned

by the flashing lights, which have shown to be

effective 83. 4 percent of the time in the

institute?s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.

In 2017, more than 1, 600 pedestrians

were killed in auto related accidents, which is

about 40 percent of total traffic deaths,

according to data from the Traffic Accident

Analysis System. For now, the smombie

warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a

suburban city about 30 km northwest of the

capital, Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide,

according to the institute.

Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of

Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was

often too absorbed in her phone to remember to

look at traffic. “ This flashing light makes me

feel safe as it makes me look around again,

and I hope that we can have more of these in

town,” she said.

5. What do the underlined words “ smartphone

zombies” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Pedestrians buried in their phones.

B. Drivers driving after drunk.

C. Passengers crazy about phones.

D. Policemen in charge of traffic.

6. What do we know about the warning system?

A. It has reduced death rate by 83. 4%.

B. It has been spread nationwide.

C. It gives a warning to the smartphones.

D. It is being tried out in many places.

7. What is the resident?s attitude to the traffic

system?

A. Negative. B. Unconcerned.

C. Disapproving. D. Favourable.

8. What is the best title for the text?

A. Flashing Lights Are Used to Prevent

Accidents

(2023·青岛高一检测)Social networking

isn?t only for the under 40s. More than 25

percent of Americans 50 years and older stay

connected using sites such as Facebook,

MySpace and Twitter, according to new

research.

“ The latest data tells us that more and

more social networking is becoming a part of

everyday life for Americans 50 plus,” said

Kevin Donnellan, the chief communications

officer at AARP, which released the report.

Nearly a quarter of older Americans are on

Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to

stay in touch with relatives, but not just their

children and grandchildren. “ They are using

the Internet to keep up with the world and the

people who are important to them,” said Jean

Koppen, the author of the report. She added

that older adults are also on Facebook to stay

connected, not only with their family, but with

their friends and those in the same age group.

Almost 50 percent of older adults were

introduced to the social networking sites by a

family member, mainly a child or grandchild.

“Just under one-fifth of adults aged 50 and

older say they do not use the Internet,”

according to the report.

The findings are based on a telephone

survey of 1,863 adults. In addition to keeping

up on Facebook and Twitter, older adults are

aware of the latest technology. Eighty-three

percent had heard about the Apple iPad and 11

percent intended to buy one.

Despite the popularity of the Internet

among the over 50s, they still mostly go to

print newspapers and magazines for news. Only

one percent said they followed blogs.

9. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Social networking isn?t for the under 40s

in the USA.

B. American old people?s way of life is quite

fashionable.

among older Americans.
