Passage 1 (2024·福建省閩粵聯合體高三聯考)
話題：父母與子女
詞數：296
My dearest son and daughter，
The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing (起訴) her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter.Let me just put this out there: the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge.
There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster.
First，its natural for parents and children to argue.I can guarantee that we will disagree.One or both of you will，at some point，scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me.And I wont always like you，either.But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus，even when Im so angry.We are family.That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh，blood and bones in our body.And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond.
Second，Ill be honest，no matter how far apart we are on your life choices，your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education.But that doesnt mean you deserve it.To be clear，that is a privilege we happily extend (給予) to you—not a right you are born with.And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege.Growing up is hard work.
If I do my job properly as your mother—and you do yours as my children—you would sooner get a job or two，and find a way to make your dreams come true than go to trial over what you think you have the right to.
Love always，
Mom

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

Passage 3 (2024·石嘴山市一模)
話題：大運河申請世界文化遺產
詞數：316
When it comes to cultural heritage protection, the Grand Canal of China is probably the world’s greatest project of its kind.The big inland waterway system in the north－eastern and central eastern plains passes through eight of the countrys present－day provinces.
The Canal runs from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang Province in the south.Constructed in sections from the 5th century BC onwards, it was designed as a means of communication in the 7th century AD.The Canal is the worlds greatest civil engineering project before the Industrial Revolution.
The Grand Canal reached a peak in the 13th century, providing an inland navigation(航行) network consisting of more than 2，000 kilometers of artificial waterways, linking five of the most important river basins in China, including the Yellow River and the Yangtze.It entered a bid as a UNESCO(聯合國教科文組織) cultural heritage site in 2008.
The Grand Canal cultural square is located in Beijings Tongzhou district.Ever since the Yuan dynasty 800 years ago, the Tongzhou section of the Grand Canal has been the life blood of Beijing.Grain and building materials were all transported to meet the endless demands of the big cities.Even today, the Grand Canal plays a major role in the lives of its citizens.
“I grew up near the Grand Canal.In the past the waterway was a lot narrower, but now it?s nice and wide and bridges are built over it.I think if the bid for world heritage status succeeds, it will greatly make Tongzhou more famous in the world, especially with Tongzhou aiming to be a sub－center of the capital Beijing，” a citizen said.
The result of the bid is set to be released next week, and no doubt it will certainly make it into the history books if the Canal is listed as a world heritage site.
1．It can be concluded from the passage that________．
A．The bid’s result of the Canal will be announced soon
B．the Canal is the UNESCOs newest world heritage site
C．the Canal is to connect Tongzhou with Zhejiang Province
D．the Canal will be a bid for a UNESCO cultural heritage site
答案 A [細節理解題。根據最后一段的第一句The result of the bid is set to be released next week，可知大運河申請世界遺產的結果將在下周就公布了，故應選A。]

A．when it was aimed as a means of communication
B．when it crossed theYellow River and the Yangtze
C．when it was born about six hundred years later
D．when it was designed as an artificial waterway
答案 C [細節理解題5世紀，在公元七世紀成為了重要的交通樞紐，并且從第二段的最后一句“The Canal is the worlds greatest civil engineering project before the Industrial Revolution”，可知應選C。]
3．What can we infer by reading the passage?
A．Tongzhou used to be the capital of the Yuan dynasty.
B．Most citizens living inTongzhou depend on the Canal.
C．Tongzhou will benefit if the Canal is made a heritage site.
D．Some citizens think the Canal not to be a cultural heritage item.
答案 C [推理判斷題。根據第第I think if the bid for world heritage status succeeds，it will greatly make Tongzhou more famous in the world，especially with Tongzhou aiming to be a sub－center of the capital Beijing”，可知若大運河申遺成功，整個地區將受益不少，故選C正確。]

Passage 5 (2024·皖江名校聯考)
話題：聰明的女孩
詞數：302
(CNN)—A 12－year－old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.
