　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　(2024全國課標I, B)

　　The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”．I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C (維生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part—particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a．m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.

　　The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a．m.to 1 p．m., rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.

　　Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened (蔓上成熟的) promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless.But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal—and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.

　　Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.

　　()1.What did the author think of her winter life in New York?

　　A．Exciting.

　　B．Boring.

　　C．Relaxing.

　　D．Annoying.

　　()2.What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?

　　A．Having a swim.

　　B．Breathing in fresh air.

　　C．Walking in the morning sun.

　　D．Visiting a local farmers' market.

　　()3.What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?

　　A．They are soft.

　　B．They look nice.

　　C．They taste great.

　　D．They are juicy.

　　()4.What was the author going to do that evening?

　　A．Go to a farm.

　　B．Check into a hotel.

　　C．Eat in a restaurant.

　　D．Buy fresh vegetables.

　　【主旨大意】本文講的是作者在冬天離開寒冷的紐約到佛羅里達州的薩拉索塔的經歷。那里氣候宜人，水果蔬菜新鮮美味。

　　1．【答案】B

　　【解析】推理判斷題。根據文章第一段第一句“The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so…可知，紐約不是一個過冬的好地方，選項中與句中的“hasn't been a terribly fun”相對應的是boring，故選B項。

　　2．【答案】D

　　【解析】細節理解題。根據文章第一段最后一句“…a 7 a．m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.”可知，作者早上7點去農貿市場是很值得的事情，故選D項。

　　3．【答案】B

　　【解析】細節理解題。根據文章第三段第二句“No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless.”可知，在冬季，紐約的西紅柿只是外表吸引人，買回家之后才發現它們又干又硬，而且無味，故選B項。

　　4．【答案】C

　　【解析】細節理解題。根據文章最后一段第一句 “…a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night.”可知，作者晚上要去餐館吃飯，故選C項。

　　(2024遼寧，A)

　　A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops (筆記本電腦)．

　　Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility (清晰度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.

　　Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.

　　In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.

　　The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.

　　The researchers' report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”

　　In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.

　　These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.

　　()5.More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ________.

　　A．writte more notes

　　B．digest concepts better

　　C．get higher scores

　　D．understand lectures better

　　()6.While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ____.

　　A．skillful

　　B．mindless

　　C．thoughtful

　　D．tireless

　　()7.The author of the passage aims to ________.

　　A．examine the importance of long-term memory

　　B．stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
