热点01-2阅读理解(新闻报道)-2023年高考英语专练(新高考专用)2022年新高考阅读理解C篇涉及到了新闻体裁。

高考新闻类阅读理解文章的选材、题源、题材范围极为广泛。

选材方面有国际与国内新闻；题源方面：官方用语为英语国家和国内的主流媒体，如报纸、杂志、网站等已经成为新高考高考阅读理解命题文章的主要题源；题材方面则涉及文化、经济、环保、科技、教育、社会、生活等多个领域。

新闻的种类很多，因此写法也多样化：有以说明居多的说明文，有以记叙为主的记叙文等。

由此，我们可以预测2023年新高考高尚若要考新闻体裁阅读理解题的话，应该不外乎以下两种情况：以说明或是记叙文体的形式提供文本。

1.要素：以记叙为主的新闻的六个要素(时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过、结果)。

以说明居多的新闻的三个部分(说明的对象、说明的过程和归纳总结)。

2.结构：标题、导语、主体、背景、结语(背景和结语有时则蕴涵在主体里面，有时省略不说)。

为了增加难度或就是要考的考点，高考阅读理解命题时往往把新闻标题删除。

导语一般是文章的第一段、最多前三段，往往会用简明、生动的话语将新闻最具价值的、最新鲜的内容或事实、或者典型的例子放在开头，以引出整个文章的主题。

接下来的主体部分会围绕文章主题展开，进一步解释和深化导语，此部分内容以记叙和说明为主。

最后的结语部分一般会再次总结文章的中心思想，强调主旨，或者是具有启发性的内容，发人深思。

也有的新闻文章没有明显的结语。

3.特点：一个特点是新闻报道强调客观性，作者一般不直接表达自己的观点；另一个特点是引语的使用，包括直接引语和间接引语。

另外新闻体裁的阅读理解考查题型：四种题型(细节理解题、推理判断题、主旨大意题和词义猜测题)都有可能涉及。

浏览文章，判断其体裁是不是新闻类阅读理解题，如果是，需要再读全文，重点“关注”以下三个部分。

一、关注导语部分导语往往包含了新闻最具价值的内容，与整个文章的主题密切相关。

通过阅读导语部分可以更好地把握文章的主题。

高一英语新闻报道类阅读试题1. Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink and even fight. They often do something dangerous.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely (可能) to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them—that is “peer influence”.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent (暴力的)teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”【1】What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?A．Quick.B．Crazy.C．Careful.D．Correct.【答案】B【解析】B词义猜测题。

高中英语阅读——新闻报道类1、NEW YORK－Australian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ, a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn't call the ship unsinkable any more.The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said. “I'm not too superstitious(迷信的).”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship bestknown for sinking was tempting fate.White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. About 1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ” Palmer said. “I think it would be very cavalier to say it.”Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the “safest cruise ship in the world”．Palmer refused to answer questions about the project's cost. Although the Titanic was the world's largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today's modern cruise ships.“It’s not about the money，” Palmer said. “I've got enough money for i t.I think that’s all that matters.”Forbes estimated Palmer's net worth to be $795 million in 2012.He describes himself as a billionaire.TitanicⅡwill be built by Chinese state-owned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer’s mining business, he said.

The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.Survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future. Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction. Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade,”wrote Frieder R. Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“Seein g a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions (预防措施),” the authors wrote. Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline. Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions. Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes. However, the researchers said a pattern was clear. “We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accur ate, to pessimistic,” the authors concluded.【小题1】According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?A．Optimistic adults.B．Middle-aged adults.C．Adults in poor health.D．Adults of lower income.【小题2】Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ______. A．to fully enjoy their present lifeB．to estimate their contribution accuratelyC．to take measures against potential risksD．to value health more highly than wealth【小题3】How do people of higher income see their future?A．They will earn less money.B．They will become pessimistic.C．They will suffer mental illness.D．They will have less time to enjoy life.【小题4】What is the clear conclusion of the study?A．Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.B．Good financial condition leads to good health.C．Medical treatment determines health outcomes.D．Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.4、They’re WILD animalsBy Ernst-Ulrich FranzenMarch 11, 2010(3) CommentsThe story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc, after she ignored warnings and barriers(栅栏), reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture. We all do silly things at times — no one is immune — but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category. Teddy bears and Disney movies aren’t actually representative of real bears.Comments (3) View Comments3 CommentsPost a Comment1. TosaLeft - Mar 11, 2010 10:46AMDon’t you think that maybe, just maybe some alcohol was involved?2. tk421 - Mar 11, 2010 11:09 AMIt was already approved that alcohol was involved. Stories that begin with a drunk person saying “Hey, I got an idea, watch this!” rarely end well.3. Tristan Kloss - Mar 11, 2010 11:41 AMAlcohol certainly isn’t involved when people decide to keep “pets” like chimpanzees, baby tigers, etc. Stupidity, definitely. Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication. Even farm animals, which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well, aren’t let in the house. So why keep animals that treat human contact with, at best, indifference(冷淡、不在乎) and, at worst, violence?【小题1】In Ernst-Ulrich Franzen’s opinion, the woman lost her fingers because ________.A．the zoo keepers didn’t warn her of the dangerB．she didn’t know the bear was a wild animalC．she was somehow influenced by cartoon charactersD．she climbed over the barriers and angered the bear【小题2】TosaLeft thinks the wounded woman ________.A．may have been drunkB．may be a little stupidC．was addicted to wineD．fed wine to the bear【小题3】tk421 means a drunk person ________.A．should be forbidden to enter the zooB．usually gets himself into troubleC．is often fond of making up storiesD．usually likes to show himself off【小题4】What does Tristan Kloss think of people treating wild animals as pets? A．Kind. B．Illegal.C．Loving. D．Stupid.5、Leon, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand.That didn't -stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a prosthesis(假肢），using a 3D printer.

As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3Dprinter. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer一which costs around $2,000- and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard（护胫），cardboard, and tape. They cost about＄10," says Paul.With his new hand, Leon can do things better. "I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags,”he says.Leon's father has already built .several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal," he tells thereporter from the loc al evening paper,“is to be able to tie my shoelaces:'【小题1】Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?

Agreement on this important step in ongoing cooperation between the two sides was reached by media representatives attending a media forum on September 19in Abuja, Nigeria.The agreement comes in the wake of increasing attention being paid by the international community on Africa's deepening relationship with China. "This presents an important opportunity for media in China, Nigeria and other African countries.

Some Western media outlets accuse China of ignoring mutually beneficial solutions or sustainable development of African people, while robbing the continent of its natural resources."Nigerians cannot expect Aljazeera or BBC to report on Africa, and indeed Nigeria and China relations, the way we want," said Oloja.Mutually objective coverage will generate more cooperation and better understanding between China and Nigeria, said Li Xiaohua, a representative from China. , a leading multi-language website in China.【小题1】What is the purpose of this media forum on September 19 in Abuja?A．More international community should p ay attention to Africa’s deepening relationship with China.B．People should seize the moment to expand cooperation between China and African countries.C．Chinese and Nigerian media should pay more attention to their own growing roles and strive to present a reliable image to each other.D．Let more Chinese people know about the culture of Africa.【小题2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 4?

The Tile, asmall square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike —goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.【小题1】The Tile app can help you .A．find your missing itemsB．use your phone more wiselyC．save your phone’s battery powerD．connect something to your phone【小题2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.B．One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.C．The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.D．A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.【小题3】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A．What the Tile app is.B．How the Tile app works.C．The advantages of the Tile app.D．Why the Tile app was invented.【小题4】Where does this passage probably come from?A．A science fiction novel.B．An advertisement.C．A personal diary.D．A news report.8、NEW YORK—Australian mining enterpriser Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ, a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn’t call the ship unsinkable any more.The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said. “I’m not too superstitious(迷信的). ”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship best-known for sinking was tempting fate.White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable.

But I don’t feel proud about the number of women and girls where I’m from who are still being unable to enjoy the right for an education.“I have taught many students —including Malaya, the young education activist who was shot in the head as travelling to school in Pakistan after campaigning for girls’ education. Among the m I see the dignity that education can offer. This is why I have long been devoted to teaching, and why I am doing what I can to make sure that all girls have the chance to go to school.“At the Khushaal school and college in Mingora, many girls are pr evented from going to school because of poverty and fights. However, the most common reasons for girls not attending classes are cultural. People fear that females will become too independent if educated. Instead, parents prefer to marry off girls early. Girls and young women are considered a financial burden if left dependent on their parents.”“In the school where I have been teaching for over ten years, I have seen how this discrimination plays out. Parents regard an educated and independent female as being too clever for her own. Even if parents agree to give a girl an education, a limit is set to the number of years for her to attend classes and it is common for girls to make it through only primary school. This is why I have been working tirelessly to change these damaging views and cultural practices. These are crimes against humanity (人道),which I have no choice but to strongly accuse of.”“Malala was right to fight for her education.” says Mariam, who will be in New York with UNESCO (联合国教科文组织), delivering a speech calling for world leaders to make sure every child gets a chance to go to school.【小题1】What does Mariam take pride in?A．Her dignity from education.B．Her lifelong devotion to teaching.C．Her hometown with fantastic scenery.D．Her experience as a speech maker.【小题2】What is the major reason to prevent girls from going to school?

新闻报道类（I）★★★MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border（边界）to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security（安全）rules.The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs（海关）station in this are is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally（非法）.Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.1．We learn from the text that Richard Albert is .A．an American living in Township 15B．a Canadian living in a Quebec villageC．a Canadian working in a customs stationD．an American working in a Canadian church2．Albert was fined because he .A．failed to obey traffic rules B．broke the American security rulesC．worked in St. Pamphile without a pass D．damaged the gate of the customs office 3．The underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means .A．a drive through the town B．a race across the fieldsC．a roundabout way of travelling D．a journey in the mountain area4．What would be the best title for the text?A．A Cross-country Trip B．A Special Border PassC．An Unguarded Border D．An Expensive Church Visit1-4 ABCD（II）★★A young British sailor was missing at sea yesterday in similar circumstances(情况)to the way his father died five years ago．The dinghy(救生橡皮船)，used to take Richard Smith，21，to his yacht(快艇)，was discovered empty, floating in seas off the Caribbean island．An air and sea search was carried out but he has still not been discovered．Richar d’s mother, Bicknell，said from her home in Hampshire，“It’s so much coincidence．Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached to a poem，which included the date of his disappearance．”“Now, it’s very strange because all they have found is Richard’s dinghy．We need to know this time what has happened one way or another．If you know at least you can go through the grieving process(悲痛的过程)．”In November 1996，Mr. Smith’s father, Charlie，was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife．They lost radio contact with the shore and they, together with their yacht were never seen again，and their disappearance remains a mystery．Richard is described a talented(有才能的)and experienced sailor who has crewed for the champion ocean racer．He had sailed to the。

阅读理解：新闻报道Spelling BeeScientists in Germany say they have used new technology to create see-through human organs (器官). They say the technology could lead to production of three-dimensional (3D) body parts for use in transplant (移植) operations.The scientists are with Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. They said they developed a process that uses a substance to make see- through organs, such as the brain and kidneys. The German researchers use lasers (激光) to obtain a picture of the organ to be replaced. The laser light helps them see every single cell inside the blood vessels (血管中的细胞).The researchers use this information to print out the structure of the whole organ. For this, they need special equipment. They use a 3D printer to produce the structure--one that has height, width and length.The researchers then load the printer with stem cells, which can become any kind of cell in the body. The stem cells act as “ink” in the printer. They are put into the correct position, making the organ fully operational.The leader of the study, Ali Erturk, described the new technology as a major development for 3D printing in the medical field.” Previously 3D-printed organs lacked detailed cellular structures because they were based on pictures from computer tomography or MRI machines,” he explained.“We can see where every single cell is, and we can actually replicate it exactly the same,” Erturk said. “I believe we are much closer to a real human organ for the first time now,” he added. Erturk and his team plan to start by creating bioprinted organs. They hope to develop a human kidney within 5-6 years. The researchers will first test to see if animals can live with bioprinted organs and could start tests within five to ten years, he predicted.1．Why do the scientists need to obtain an image of the organ to be replaced?A．To copy a new one.B．To cure some diseases.C．To observe cells in it.D．To study its structure.2．What is the function of stem cells in making human organs?A．Matching the special equipment.B．Connecting the organs to the body.C．Improving the quality of man-made organs.D．Filling the structures to let the organs work. 3．What was Erturk’s attitude to the new technology of creating organs?A．He threw doubt on it.B．He sang high praise for it.C．He didn’t think much of it.D．He expressed concern about it.4．What does the underlined word “replicate” in the last paragraph mean?A．Study.B．Copy.C．Replace.D．Remove.Six “sacrificial pits(祭祀坑)”, dating back 3,200 to 4,000 yeas, were newly discovered in Sanxingdui Ruins site in Guanghan. Over 500 artifacts, including gold masks, bronze wares, ivories, jades and textiles were unearthed from the site. Sanxingdui site is located in Sanxingdui Town, Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, on the south bank of Qianjiang River (Yangtze River), a tributary of Tuojiang River in the north of Chengdu Plain. The site covers an area of about 12 square kilometers, and the core area is the ancient city of Sanxingdui, with an area of about 3.6 square kilometers. It is the largest and highest-grade central site found in Sichuan Basin during the Xia and Shang period.Sanxingdui site, first found in 1929, is generally considered as one of the most important archaeological sites along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, the work of excavation on the site only began in 1986, when two pits — widely believed for sacrificial ceremonies — were accidentally discovered.Investigation in the area around No.1 and 2 pits was relaunched in October 2019, and No.3 pit was found in December 2019, according to Lei Yu, a researcher of Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute who heads the ongoing excavation. Thirty four research universities and research institutes have cooperated in this project. He said the new discoveries will help to better understand many unexplained findings in 1986.More excavation followed in March 2020, and five more pits were found last year. And detailed research began in October. Excavation capsules with hi-tech equipment were set up in the pits in order to prevent the site from further damage.According to the National Cultural Heritage Administration, studies of Sanxingdui site will become a crucial project in an ongoing program Archaeology China, which tries to explain the origins of Chinese civilization and how diverse cultures communicate and come together. 5．What does the underlined word “excavation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Check.B．Dig.C．Protection.D．Extension. 6．How did archaeologists protect the Sanxingdui site?A．By conducting more experiments around the site.B．By dividing the task of excavation into several parts.C．By cooperating with research universities and institutes.D．By using excavation capsule armed with hi-tech equipment.7．What can we infer about the pits from the text?A．There are 6 sacrificial pits discovered in Sanxingdui site in all.B．The size of the core zone is about 1/3 of Sanxingdui site.C．The discovery of Sanxingdui site only began in 2019.D．All sacrificial sites were discovered in the meantime.8．What is the text mainly about?A．Sanxingdui site needed protecting.B．Hi-tech helped to explore Sanxingdui site.C．Sanxingdui discoveries reveal ancient China.D．Sacrificial pits were unearthed in Sanxingdui site.It is common to see most livestreamers sitting in front of a desk in a well-decorated room. But Zeng Qinghuan, a 30-year-old from Xinhua County in Loudi, Hunan, has turned her whole village into a livestreaming set. Her goal is to use e-commerce to help her people live a better life.Known as “Xiangmei Xinbao” on Douyin, Zeng now has more than 3 million followers. One of her videos about traditional ways of planting and harvesting rice has attracted more than 300, 000 followers.Zeng used to study fashion design and has worked in some big cities before. In 2019 she returned to her village to care for her sick grandmother. She then found that she could build a career there -by being a livestreamer with the help of her cousin.At the beginning, she didn’t make any money. Zeng’s parents didn’t give her any support until she could stand on her own feet and help people sell their products. She has now sold local agricultural products worth tens of millions of yuan, like fermented tofu, preserved pork and dried sweet potatoes.“I’m a daughter of the great mountains. I can also be a contributor to rural development inthis new times,” she said.Rural revitalization (振兴) is a key part of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). Zeng hopes her experience can encourage more young people to return to their rural hometowns and start their own businesses. In 2021, after she became a deputy (代表) of the Loudi Municipal People’s Congress, she put forward a proposal to ensure that “each village has one product and one livestreaming host of its own”, She plans to help cultivate 100 social media influencers from her county within three years, and two villages have taken part in the project. “I believe that the rural areas will become a big stage, and being a farmer will be seen is a respectable job too,” said Zeng. 9．What does Zeng mainly introduce on Douyin?A．Fashion trends in her village.B．The education in her hometown.

Shackleton hoped to become the first to cross Antarctica. But in 1915, the Endurance became trapped in the thick ice over the Weddell Sea. The ice broke the Enduranceand later sank it. Then the ship’s captain kept accurate records of the ship’s position, and the ship’s photographer even took pictures of it as it went down. But the ship, deep in the icy waters near Antarctica, had never been found.On Wednesday, a search team called “Endurance 22” announced it had located the ship. The Endurance was found 3 kilometers below the ocean’s surface, about 6 kilometers south of its last known position. According to the Endurance 22 team’s report, the name can be clearly read on the back of the ship, and its wheel looks ready to be turned.Though the ship is made of wood, it has survived with little damage. Scientists say that the small organisms(微生物) that normally break down wooden objects underwater don’t live in the cold waters around Antarctica.The team ran the project from an ice-breaking ship. To locate the Endurance, the team used two underwater robots called Sabertooths. The robots could travel by themselves under the ice and go where the ship could not. For the last two weeks, the Sabertooth robots have been searching the sea floor in a 390-square kilometer area.The robots were looking for anything above the sea floor. Last Saturday, the ship was found. Once the ship was located, the Sabertooths used high-quality cameras to record the Endurance in detail. Antarctica’s waters are protected by an international agreement, which means the ship can’t be disturbed. So the Endurance 22 team plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck(失事) site. This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without disturbing it.14．Why did the Endurance 22 team know the ship5s possible position?A．They had first-class robots.B．The captain kept a good record.C．Polar explorers recalled the details.D．The icy waters of the ship have changed. 15．What is the Endurance found to be like?A．It is in excellent shape.B．It is trapped in hard ice.C．It is in poor condition.D．It has gone beyond recognition.16．What plays the most important role in finding the Endurance?A．Luck.B．Patience.C．Weather.D．Technology. 17．What is the best title for the text?A．“Endurance 22” Announced a Great DiscoveryB．A Polar Explorers’ Ship Found After Over 100 YearsC．Untold Finding of Antarctic Explorer Ernest ShackletonD．New Results of the Sabertooth Robots’ Underwater SearchA few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory (宿舍) at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter (收容所), or someone in need who you meet on the street.18．How did the homeless man’s words affect Lichtman?A．They caused her to start KKGS.B．They pushed her to go to college.C．They encouraged her to house the homeless.D．They made her continue to give out sandwiches.19．How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation?A．Some refused it politely.B．They strongly supported it.C．Some felt quite surprised by it.D．They considered it unreasonable.20．In what way is KKGS special?A．It has earned a lot of money from students.B．It employs college students as volunteers. C．It provides socks for those in need.D．It was set up by the government. 21．What advice does the author offer to people?A．Take action in small ways.B．Start your own organization.C．Make donations from an early age.D．Find creative ways to help people.Carleen Hutchins finished building her first stringed instrument (弦乐器) in 1949, when she was 38. She is remembered as an excellent luthier. A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments, such as violins and guitars.Hutchins was a primary school science teacher. She took up the viola (中提琴) at 36. But she wasn’t satisfied with the viola she bought. Since she was a skilled woodworker, she decided to build one herself.For more than 50 years, she carved (雕刻) stringed instruments. Hutchins worked from her home — often in her kitchen. She used a scientific method to carve them. Over the years, she made around 500 instruments. Her method is still used. It helps luthiers carve high-quality stringed instruments.Hutchins also created a family of eight violins known as the violin octet. They change in size and tone (音调). “It’s how the instrument is carved that makes it a violin,” Joe McNalley says. He is the founder of the Hutchins Consort, a group that plays the octet.The four instruments in the string family are violin, viola, cello, and bass. They cannot play the lowest or highest notes of the piano. They play the notes in between. Hutchins created a family of eight violins that play all the notes a piano plays.D．Quincy Whitney has written a book about Hutchins. “For centuries, musicians had talked about creating a family of violins that had a total string sound as wide as a piano,” she said.Hutchins was an artist and a scientist. A big part of her dream was to create top-quality instruments that were affordable. “Her story is about how one person can not only make adifference,” says Whitney, “but can change a whole world.”22．Why did Hutchins start to make stringed instruments?A．She hoped to create a better viola.B．She was not satisfied with her career.C．She expected to be a skilled woodworker.D．She wanted to teach her students about music.23．What do we know about Hutchins?A．She headed the Hutchins Consort.B．She is very good at playing the octet.C．She learned a simple method to make instruments.D．She is a pioneer in the design of stringed instruments.24．Different from the traditional violin family, the violin octet _____.A．is easier to make B．has the same sizeC．produces richer sounds D．is less enjoyed by musicians25．What is Whitney’s attitude to Hutchins?A．Respectful.B．Concerned.C．Doubtful.D．Worried.Just a few days after Valentine’s Day, Tinder and the French NGO A voté made their cooperation official, “to match Generation Z with voting”. The partnership kicked off on Thursday and will run through April 8 – two days before the first round of France’s presidential elections – and has one goal: to get more French youths to cast their votes. The slogan is catchy too: “If you can date down your street … You can vote down your street.”In practice this means that, from now on, French Tinder users will see election ads pop up as they swipe the app to look out for potential love interests.A recent survey showed that 59 percent of French 18- to 30-year-olds who are already registered to vote plan to abstain(弃权) in the first round of the elections. Seeing that 50 percent of Tinder’s users belong to this very age group, “this partnership represents a great opportunity to raise awareness as much as possible,” co-president of A voté Flore Blondel-Goupil said.One of the main reasons for France’s high youth abstention rates, however, is not a lack of interest but rather outdated or incorrect paperwork. A registration is invalid when a voter'spolling station does not correspondent with their actual place of residence. This is a particularly common problem for young people, who often leave their parents’ homes to pursue studies elsewhere.Studies show that having an incorrect voting registration address triples the risk of abstention. In 2017, 7.6 million French people were incorrectly registered, with 25- to29-year-olds accounting for 51 percent of them. Adding to that, between 3 and 4 million French people were not registered to vote at all.This is not the first time Tinder has helped countries fight voter abstention: It did so in Brazil in 2018, the United Kingdom in 2019, the United States in 2020 and Germany in 2021. 26．Why did Tinder cooperate with the French NGO A voté?A．To make their cooperation official.B．To attract more young people to vote. C．To make it more popular.D．To help people date down the street. 27．What is Flore Blondel-Goupil’s attitude to the partnership?A．Doubtful.B．Unclear.C．Favorable.D．Intolerant. 28．What does the underlined word “triple” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Increase.B．Reduce.C．Replace.D．Challenge. 29．What can we infer from the text?A．Tinder is a popular APP for voting.B．Young people’s polling station is not necessarily where they live.C．In 2017, 51 percent of French people were not registered to vote at all.D．A lack of interest resulted in the France’s high youth abstention rates.PORTLAND, Maine — The number of whales entangled (缠住) in fishing gears (装备) has declined recently, but the entanglements remain a critical threat to rare species, the federal government said in a report released Tuesday.There were 60 confirmed cases of large whales entangled in gear in the U.S. in 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday. That was a 25% decline from the previous year and a lower figure than the 13-year average.Every coastal region except Alaska saw a decrease in whale entanglements, NOAA said. It will take more research to determine the cause of the decline in entanglements, and it’s possible that the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruption of both fishing activities and data reporting could haveplayed a role. It’s also possible that factors unrelated to the pandemic could have played a role, as some regions have reported large-scale environmental changes, like marine heat waves, which may also be affecting large whale entanglement rates and reporting.More than half the entangled whales were humpback whales, which are popular with whale watchers and have a relatively stable worldwide population. However, four of the whales were North Atlantic right whales, which have a population decline due to recent years of high death rate and poor reproduction. The right whales give birth off Florida and Georgia and migrate north to the waters off New England and Canada to feed. Scientists and conservationists have sounded alarms in recent years that warming waters seem to be causing the whales to swim away from protected areas of ocean in search of food.“The current level of entanglements is more than whales can stand”, said Kristen, an agent of a conservation group. The group and others have pushed for tighter restrictions on commercial fishing to prevent the whales from entanglement. These reports show far too many endangered whales are caught in fishing gear, particularly because reported entanglements are just the tip of an iceberg,” Kristen said.30．How many confirmed cases of large whales entangled in gear in the U. S. were there in 2019? A．48.B．64.C．80.D．96.31．What caused the population decrease of the North Atlantic right whales?A．Many can’t survive or have young.B．More than half of them were entangled.C．COVID-19 pandemic affected their life.D．Heat waves makes them lacking in food.32．What is the passage mainly about?A．Why stricter laws should be banned.B．Why less whales have been entangled.C．What people have done to help whales.D．How we can help to increase whale numbers.33．What is Kristen’s attitude towards whale entanglement?A．Confused.B．Frightened.C．Concerned.D．Tired.A record of 6.15 million trips was made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Sunday, according to the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA). That is an increase of 7 percent compared with the last year’s Spring Festival. About 374, 000 trips were organized by travel agencies, a 2.5 percent increase.The CNTA also reported growth from individual and high-end(高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities, inland cities such as those in Guangxi — became important source markets. With many Chinese now traveling abroad during the Spring Festival, their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.“Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local cultures and services, including staying in private homes, appreciating plants and watching monkeys,” Li Xuejing, an agency’s marketing manager, said.Miss Guo, a Chinese tourist, who was vacationing on an island in Philippines, said, “I now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”Another choice is Britain. Though the devaluation(货币贬值) of the pound is a factor, Britain’s rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese.34．How many trips were made to foreign countries during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday? A．6,150,000.B．2,500,000.C．7,000,000.D．374,000. 35．What can we learn about some inland cities in Guangxi?A．They’re reported to have become important tourist attractions.B．They’re famous for all kinds of plants and monkeys.C．They have many hot springs.D．They have become important source markets.36．What will Miss Guo do on her vacation according to the text?A．Go shopping for gifts.B．Study foreign cultures.C．Relax and enjoy herself.D．Chat with her relatives.37．Where does the text probably come from?A．A guide book.B．A newspaper.C．A science magazine.D．An advertisement.参考答案1．C2．D3．B4．B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了德国科学家3D打印透明人体器官，这项新技术是巨大的突破。
