B At 102 years old,Jack Hemmings,a former Royal Air Forces pilot,is believed to be the oldest pilot to fly a Spitfire,a World War II plane.His 20-minute flight,from an airfield in southern England, was to raise money for a charity he co-founded nearly 80 years ago. The flight on Monday was the first time he flew a Spitfire.Speaking at the Biggin Hill airfield before his flight,Mr Hemmings said when offered a flight he seized it with both hands and could hardly wait to try it. Following the flight,Jack Hemmings remarked that it was absolutely delightful being back behind the controls,though the ride was very shaky."To be honest,I felt a bit out of practice.Not surprising I am not as sharp as before."he said. Hemmings was raising funds for Mission Aviation Fellowship,a humanitarian air service he helped launch after WWIl alongside D-Day veteran ()Stuart King.The organization has since grown into a Christian organization that uses planes to deliver relief,medicine and emergency supplies to countries in need.The flight marked 80 years since the D-Day landings and honored King,who died in 2020. Hemmings previously performed aerobatic(特技飞行)on his 100 th birthday and raised more than $50,000 for the charity. 广西重点高中高二5月联合调研测试（英语）第3页共8页 Barry Hughes,a pilot who accompanied Hemmings in the aircraft,said the veteran had a natural touch."He didn't need any instruction really.He just took control,flew us around,and made some turnings and basic actions,"Hughes said."I think he really enjoyed every single moment of the flight." 24.What did Jack Hemmings accomplish at the age of 102? A.He set a new record for the longest flight in a Spitfire. B.He became the oldest person to pilot a World War II aircraft. C.He completed a successful solo flight across southern England. D.He raised a large amount of money for charity through his flight. 25.What does Mission Aviation Fellowship mainly do? A.Delivering humanitarian aid to countries in need. B.Offering military service and support in war zones. C.Providing aviation assistance for scientific investigations. D.Facilitating international travel for humanitarian workers. 26.What impressed Barry Hughes in relation to Hemming's flight? A.His lack of skills behind the controls. B.His clumsy operations during the flight C.His mastery of the aircraft during the flight. D.His cautious approach to flying the Spitfire. 27.Which of the following words best describe Jack Hemmings? A.Committed and cautious. B.Passionate and modest. C.Determined and innovative. D.Selfless and adventurous. C Have you ever felt numb,overwhelmed,or excessively anxious after seeing the flooding of suffering shown on the news,Internet,and social media?I know I have-and I recently learned that this feeling has a name:compassion fatigue ) For decades,researchers have studied compassion fatigue among health care workers,therapists, social workers,vets,and other people who are frequently exposed to other people's trauma at work. Over time,they can develop emotional exhaustion or even PTSD-like(类创伤后应微障碍)symptoms -including difficulty sleeping,anxiety,and feeling triggered by troubling stories or memories-as a result of immersing themselves in the problems of others,studies show. While compassion fatigue hasn't been widely studied among the general population,experts agreed that it can affect anyone,even those who are witnessing trauma from afar.That means almost everyone is at risk these days,because of ongoing conflicts even wars between countries,frequent gun violence,and other difficult world events that are all over the news and social media.Triggers ( vary from person to person,experts say,so there's no way to know for sure what will cause compassion fatigue.If you are reacting more strongly than usual to difficult situations-perhaps by yelling at others or growing angry when you're usually level,you may be experiencing compassion fatigue. To protect yourself from compassion fatigue,the experts recommended taking purposeful breaks from the news to focus on personal wellness-such as by spending time outdoors and with loved ones and finding ways to give back to your community and remember the good in humanity 28.What does the underlined word trauma mean? A.Dilemma. B.Fear. C.Embarrassment. D.Injury. 29.Which of the following is NOT a symptom of compassion fatigue? A.Being lost in the possible failures. B.Having difficulty in sleeping well. C.Involving themselves in others'pain. D.Feeling much worried about something. 广西重点高中高二5月联合调研测试（英语）第4页共8页 30.What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 3? A.Everyone is possibly affected by compassion fatigue. B.Compassion fatigue has been researched worldwide. C.Social media is the main cause of compassion fatigue. D.Bad-tempered people are easier to experience compassion fatigue. 31.What do the experts advise readers with compassion fatigue to do? A.Pay more attention to good news. B.Read plenty of books on humanity. C.Stay with the ones like parents and friends. D.Make every effort to build a better community. D This past summer in the Arctic was the warmest since 1900,contributing to disasters across the wider region,recorded in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's annual Arctic Report Card.The Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average as a result of human- caused climate change,driven primarily by burning fossil fuels.Researchers say changes in the Arctic can directly influence worldwide changes across ecosystems,from sea-level rise and new weather patterns,to altered wildlife migrations. Another surprise in this year's report card is salmon,the key to many of the region's ecosystems, economies,and cultures.In western Alaska,chinook and chum salmon hit record low levels this year, but sockeye salmon in Bristol Bay hit record highs.The abundance of sockeye had an unexpected downside for commercial fishermen-a price crash."There're so many salmon,and they can barely make a profit,"Thoman said.It's unclear exactly why the salmon species are responding differently to climate change,but researchers say it's likely linked to changing conditions in both the ocean and freshwater ecosystems central to the salmon life-cycle. In order to address the issue,researchers started constantly monitoring these ecological changes across the Arctic,and the response of wildlife,founding a program aiming to draw upon the expertise of the region's local residents:the Alaska Arctic Observatory and Knowledge Hub (AAOKH).The group works with a network of coastal local observers to document long-term environmental change and impacts in northern Alaska.Roberta Tuurraq Glenn-Borade,a community contact for AAOKH,said local observers often provide context beyond simple data collection that can better scientists'understanding of the environmental factors driving animal behavior-like how shifting winds and sea-ice drew a surprising number of ringed seals and polar bears to Utqiagvik in January. Roberta expressed optimism that AAOKH can help communities adapt to the altered environment. 32.What can we learn about climate changes in Arctic? A.They will be limited in Arctic. B.They are caused by human activities. C.They can hardly impact global ecosystems. D.The Arctic is warming as fast as the global average. 33.What can we infer from paragraph 2? A.The water pollution impacted salmon's population. B.The impact of climate change on salmon species varies. C.Fishermen can gain profit because of abundant sockeye D.Salmon is important in almost every aspect of many regions. 34.How do region's local residents help AAOKH? A.By collecting and analyzing data from the locals. B.By tracking climate changes and wildlife's response. C.By improving scientists'grasp of the natural element. D.By studying environmental changes and consequences. 广西重点高中高二5月联合调研测试（英语）第5页共8页 35.What's the best title of the passage? A.Global Heatwaves:the Warmest Summer in a Century. B.Local Wisdom:Arctic Residents'Assistance in Arctic. C.Arctic Report Card:Dramatic Impacts of Climate Change. D.Salmon Surprises:Economic Impacts and Climate Change. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why Be Kind?

In my head I could even hear the flight attendant saying,"You can feel free to store your...child in the overhead compartment(隔层).” We found our seats.My son sat by the window,my wife in the center,and I took the seat on the aisle.I saw a"cool guy"get onto the plane,a man about my age.He was wearing a concert T-shirt, ripped jeans,and I could hear that he's listening to rock music on his iPhone.This guy represented who I was as a traveler before I had a child.He took the aisle seat directly across from me.We took off. Planes are not designed with children in mind.There is no ball hole,no playground.To keep my child occupied,my wife and I took turns walking him from the pilot's cabin to the tail.Suddenly,We hit turbulence (and needed to take our seats.The plane was shaking.My son's ears began hurting from the drop in cabin pressure,and he had a meltdown.This is a child who has difficulty with crowded social situations and excessive stimulation.My wife and I could do nothing but held him to live through this moment. I looked over at Cool Guy,and he was staring at me,trying to pour Coke.I wanted to say,"Look, Cool Guy,I am sorry if we are ruining your time on United Airlines,but we have a crisis here,and if anyone on this plane needs to drink,it's me!" Finally,my son fell asleep from exhaustion.And that wave of exhaustion flowed over my family. I just sat there,listening to the slight sound of the engine and hoping we would start our landing in Chicago soon. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then,I felt that somebody patted my shoulder: Paragraph 2: My son's eyes lit up,and he eagerly grabbed the toy,delighted. 广西重点高中高二5月联合调研测试（英语）第8页共8页
